The old man looked for Long Xiangtian everywhere, from every corner of the house to the nearby mountains and woods, but he couldn't find any trace of Long Xiangtian.
The old man was a little worried that Long Xiangtian might do something stupid, so he quickly called Xiaomi and Zhao Yangwu to help.
There are trees, snakes, insects, birds and monsters on this mountain. How could Long Xiangtian, that stupid pig, who is half dead and half alive, know that the place where he is is very dangerous? If he encounters ferocious beasts or poisonous snakes, it will be a life. The old man can't let him continue wandering on the mountain. He is not a bad person, so he will try his best to find him.
"Big brother." Xiaomi shouted in the forest, but couldn't find him. He was very anxious and thought: Big brother is such a grown-up, why is he more petty than me? It's just that he didn't learn the boxing that grandpa taught him. Is it necessary to disappear and make everyone look for him? What if something happens to him? Oh, no, I don't want to think about it anymore and continue looking for big brother.
But after shouting for a long time, there was no response, so Xiaomi asked her grandfather: "Grandpa, what should I do if I can't find my big brother? Did something happen to him?"
Xiaomi asked this, and the old man thought so in his heart. What should he do if something really happened? In short, he had to find the person alive or the body dead, so he continued to search. "Don't talk nonsense. When will you curse your elder brother to death?"
Xiaomi was suddenly stunned and quickly covered her mouth, "Pah, pah, pah, no, no, big brother is so smart that he will not die, big brother, you must be fine." Xiaomi prayed to God to bless Long Xiangtian to be safe and sound. What a lovely little girl.
Zhao Yangwu looked at Xiaomi silly, liking Long Xiangtian so much. He didn't know what benefit Long Xiangtian had given her. How long had Long Xiangtian known Xiaomi that made Xiaomi care about him so much? "Xiaomi, Grandpa Zhao, I'm curious, what's so good about Long Xiangtian that you like him so much."
Xiaomi said sincerely, "I don't know about that. I just feel like Big Brother is like my brother, and he is a really nice person."
Zhao Yangwu did not continue to talk, because when Xiaomi was little, she was brought back from the woods by the old man and lived with the old man. She had no parents and no brothers or sisters. Maybe Long Xiangtian really loved her, so she liked him so much. Xiaomi was not stupid. She should treat people in the right way. During this period of time, Xiaomi always called her an older brother. So Long Xiangtian was not much worse. However, Zhao Yangwu was really thinking about Xiaomi's future. When she grew up and entered the society, how could she know the evil of people's hearts? She would think that whoever treated her well must be a good person, and she would be easily taken advantage of.
Zhao Yangwu said kindly, "Xiaomi, listen to what Grandpa Zhao said. Don't think that anyone who treats you well is a good person. If you treat others like you treat Long Xiangtian, you will probably suffer a great loss in the future."
Xiaomi quickly said: "But, Grandpa Zhao, Big Brother is really a good person."
Zhao Yangwu said: "I don't mean to say that Long Xiangtian is a bad guy. Grandpa Zhao just wants to remind you that in the future, don't think that people who are nice to you are good people. People's hearts are treacherous."
Xiaomi asked, "So, what about you, Grandpa Zhao? Grandpa Zhao is nice to me, so is he also a bad person?"
Zhao Yangwu found it difficult to communicate with Xiaomi how to identify good people, so he did not pursue the matter further.
Xiaomi didn't care about this, he just wanted to find Long Xiangtian as soon as possible, the sooner the better, hoping that he was safe. Because the forest was quite large, they searched separately and agreed to meet somewhere in the future. The old man found Long Xiangtian beside a stream.
The old man called out to Long Xiangtian, indicating to Long Xiangtian that I was calling him.
Long Xiangtian didn't respond to him. He just sat on the grass. He looked unwell, as if he was dead.
The old man originally thought that Long Xiangtian was merely listless, but after seeing Long Xiangtian, he found that Long Xiangtian was even more listless than the old man had imagined.
The old man asked him, "You have been here all this time? Don't you know that everyone is looking for you?"
Long Xiangtian said without confidence: "Senior, I don't think I can do it. I can't do it."
The old man shook his head in disappointment.
Long Xiangtian continued: "Senior, are you disappointed in me?"
Xiaomi and Zhao Yangwu bumped into each other while they were searching.
Xiaomi asked first: "Grandpa Zhao, you didn't find it either?"
Zhao Yangwu replied: "No. I have searched everywhere here, but I can't find Long Xiangtian."
Xiaomi was worried and anxious, "What should I do? I've looked everywhere here." Suddenly she realized that her grandfather hadn't come yet, "What about grandpa? Has grandpa found my big brother?"
Zhao Yangwu said quickly: "When I was walking down, I saw your grandfather's figure walking towards the creek." Because this is a mountain road, there are trees, water, and hillsides, which are higher, so naturally you can see him.
Xiaomi felt that Grandpa seemed to have found Big Brother, otherwise why didn't he come here to meet him, "Let's go to the creek, Grandpa must have found Big Brother."
Zhao Yangwu asked: "How can you be sure that your grandfather has found Long Xiangtian?" Even she was not sure, the little girl was as anxious as a monkey and pulled Zhao Yangwu towards the creek.
After reaching the stream, they saw the old man and Long Xiangtian not far away, just as Xiaomi said. Xiaomi saw that the elder brother was safe and sound, and happily shouted "big brother" and waved to Long Xiangtian, but there was no response from the elder brother. Xiaomi thought that the elder brother was too far away and didn't hear him, so he walked closer. Before he could shout, he saw the elder brother's depressed look, and felt very distressed.
The old man didn't notice that Zhao Yangwu and Xiaomi had arrived. Xiaomi and Zhao Yangwu stood there and looked at Long Xiangtian.
The old man stepped forward and told Long Xiangtian, "The most taboo thing in cultivation is not to be impatient. As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient. You think about when you can defeat Xiao Wuji and when you can defeat Xiao Wuji. How can you settle down and practice seriously if you think about these things day and night? Look at you now, and you still want to defeat Xiao Wuji. It's just a joke."
Long Xiangtian felt helpless, "Senior, I, I set too high a standard for myself. I can't do it."
The old man began to ask, "Can't do it? How can you not do it? If you really want to continue like this, you will fail me in cultivating you, and you will also fail the expectations of the outsiders. Think about it, didn't I practice well before? How could I not do it?"
When Long Xiangtian heard the old man say this, he suddenly thought of his friend and the matter he entrusted to him.
Long Xiangtian raised his head and said, "It turns out that I set my standards too high, which led to my current frustration."
