On the streets in winter, when the sky is bright, there will be voices and the sound of wheels spreading. The east is getting whiter, and vendors on the street are coming one after another, shouting more and more. The shop opened to welcome customers, and the servants were busy sweeping the ground at the door of the house.
Pedestrians who got up to buy vegetables in the morning came and went, and after a while, the whole street became lively. Men, women, children, all kinds of voices are mixed.
In the middle of the road, an ordinary young man in white was holding a child and walking slowly on the street. The young man's demeanor is refined, which should have gone against the hustle and bustle of the town, but no one paid attention to it.
"Whatever you like, Master will buy it for you."
On the side of the road, many vendors sell children's toys and food.
Mo Fan: ...
"Master, I don't like playing those anymore."
A woman passed by with a seven or eight-year-old child, who was having fun with a windmill in his hand.
Ming Shi is confused, Xiao Fan is younger than that child.
Ming Shi never took care of a child, and someone prepared some supplies that Xuefeng needed, so he thought about taking Mo Fan to buy some things that he liked.
As a result, after walking more than half of a street, Mo Fan remained silent. It's fun to watch, but it's only limited to watching.
Ming Shi was slightly frustrated.
Feeling helpless, Mo Fan had no choice but to point to a hawker selling candied haws, "Master, let's go buy candied haws."
He hasn't eaten this thing for a long time.
"Okay." Ming Shi's emotions fluctuated slightly, and he hugged Mo Fan and walked towards the direction pointed out by the other party.
Without him having to speak in person, the servants following the two of them spontaneously stepped forward to buy and handed the things to Ming Shi.
Ming Shi turned and handed it to Mo Fan, "Eat it."
There is no packaging on the candied haws, only a thin layer of sugar coating. Mo Fan opened his mouth and bit half of it. The sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, and his eyes lit up.
tasty!
After eating one, he passed it in Ming Shi's direction, "Master, would you like to try it too? It's delicious."
The servant behind him moved his feet, and was about to step forward to dissuade him, but he saw Ming Shi took a bite without even thinking about it. The two who followed stepped back slightly and lowered their heads.
They almost crossed the line in front of their master.
"Yes, Not Bad."
You haven't even chewed it yet, so you say it's delicious? Mo Fan rolled his eyes in his heart, sweetly.
If there is one, there are two, Mo Fan simply let go, and tasted the famous small snacks in the town. It's just that the child has a small appetite and can only eat a little per serving, and the rest is held in the hands of the servants behind him.
"If you like it, I will bring you here next time, I can't eat any more today." Ming Shi pressed Mo Fan's stomach and said seriously.
Mo Fan licked his lips and nodded regretfully.
Neither of them mentioned the practice. Mo Fan got a little full from eating, so he got down and held Ming Shi's big palm, and looked around at the stall to digest. At noon, after having dinner at the restaurant and going back to the mansion to take a nap, Ming Shi took Mo Fan back.
Nap is good for children's growth, Ming Shi silently added it to Mo Fan's itinerary.
Back in the cave, Mo Fan opened his mouth wide, almost thinking that they had gone to the wrong place.
I saw that the original simple cave entrance was fitted with a carved gate of unknown material. Stepping into it, it is divided into three rooms. The walls and tops have been decorated and covered with exquisite silk cloth, and red stones are placed in the holes dug out. When entering the door, there is a warm breath blowing towards the face.
The floor was covered with jade, and when he walked up it, Mo Fan realized that it was actually a large piece of flat warm jade.
If ordinary people got a small piece of warm jade, they would treasure it, but Ming Shi used it extravagantly to pave the floor. Not only that, but the ground is also covered with soft fur, which is so fluffy and soft that people can't wait to sleep on it.
A few fist-sized night pearls are inlaid on the top of the cave, illuminating the cave brightly, and every corner can be seen clearly.
In the middle is a bed made of golden nanmu, with layers of light-colored smoked brocade satin layered on top of each other, enough to cover most of the light outside.
There are also corresponding tables, chairs, furniture, and utensils, which fill the whole house to the brim.
"Do you like it?" Ming Shi put his hand on Mo Fan's head and rubbed it.
"Master, don't touch your head all the time, what if you are not tall?" Mo Fan muttered, and then said, "Is this all done today?"
Ming Shi nodded.
"It's amazing, you can decorate this place so well in one day." Mo Fan held Ming Shi's hand and went to see the other two rooms.
One is the kitchen, compared to Mo Fan's room, it can be called simple. The other room is Ming Shi's resting place, and the decoration is also very ordinary.
These two rooms are newly excavated. In Ming Shi's original cave, there is a hot spring at the back, which was reserved for Mo Fan. However, it is also possible to enter from his room, but it is not as convenient as that side.
"Master, is this your room?" Mo Fan wondered if they got the wrong room.
Ming Shi nodded.
"Why is yours so simple?"
"You are afraid of the cold."
Compared with the cave that Mo Fan saw for the first time, this room is many times better. But there is another better place for comparison, and Mo Fan feels that it is too simple.
"How can I live better than Master!" Mo Fan objected.
"You are young."
Before Mo Fan wanted to say anything more, a thought popped up in his mind, and he swallowed the words.
In the evening, Ming Shi ate the food cooked by himself. The kitchen is not only complete with kitchen utensils, but also with materials. After returning to the room, Mo Fan also found that the closet was full of his clothes.
He pestered Ming Shi to coax himself to sleep, and as soon as Mo Fan showed signs of sleepiness, Ming Shi got up and left. Mo Fan firmly grasped Ming Shi's sleeve, "Master, won't you sleep with me?"
"Go back to your room for the teacher."
Mo Fan blinked aggrieved eyes and said, "But I don't want to sleep alone. At home, my parents will sleep with me."
This point is purely Mo Fan's nonsense, he expected that Dingming Shi didn't know this point.
Sure enough, Ming Shi didn't speak, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Children don't sleep alone at home, and it's normal to feel uneasy when they suddenly come to a strange place and let him sleep alone.
Do you want him to accompany you again
Mo Fan is well-clothed and well-fed in the family, and he has a small, chubby face, cute and healthy, and his body is soft and warm when hugged, making him very comfortable. Ming Shi found that he didn't reject the extra breath around him.
He treats people indifferently, he is used to seeing life and death, as long as there is an aura that does not belong to him approaching, he will be vigilant. When Mo Fan cuddled him to sleep, he thought at first that he might spend the night in cultivation. To his surprise, he fell asleep and even felt more comfortable than ever.
If this kind of abnormality was in the past, he would have already tried to get rid of it. But thinking that that person was Mo Fan, he couldn't bear it, and couldn't feel any repulsion.
Just like at this moment, he couldn't bear to refuse the other party's request, especially when he showed a wronged and pitiful appearance.
Ming Shi has always restrained himself, but at the request of a child to sleep with him, he softened his heart and let go of his faint joy.
As soon as Ming Shi lay down, Mo Fan spontaneously got into the opponent's arms, rubbed against each other obediently, "Master, good night."
"Good night." After a long time, Mo Fan's breathing became steady, before Ming Shi softened the cold look in his eyes, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
*****
Mo Fan likes to stay in bed, Ming Shi doesn't care, let Mo Fan sleep soundly.
Children are supposed to sleep until they wake up naturally, right
If someone who is familiar with Ming Shi's nature knows what's going on in his mind at the moment, he might be suspicious. Is this person still Ming Shi? You know, Ming Shi is the most strict person.
After getting ready for breakfast, Ming Shi entered the room. Mo Fan was already awake, too lazy to open his eyes under the warm blanket.
"Xiaofan, get up and have breakfast."
In just three days, our otherworldly master Ming Shi was covered in smoke and fire.
Mo Fan stretched out his hand in a daze, as if asking the other party to serve him. Ming Shi still looked cold, but indulgently dug him out of the bed, hugged him, and put on his coat. During this period, Mo Fan rubbed his sleepy eyes from time to time.
The inner room is as warm as spring, so you don't need to wear too much.
"Master, you are so kind." Mo Fan spit out sweet words without asking for money.
Ming Shi patted his head, picked up the bowl and spoon as if he wanted to feed him himself. It's really clothes to stretch out hands and food to open mouth.
Mo Fan naturally did not agree.
He's not a real kid, and acting coquettishly occasionally can be regarded as fun, if he really doesn't even raise his hand, he can't bear it himself.
What I ate today is vegetable and meat porridge. The aroma of the porridge is mixed with the taste of minced vegetable and meat, and the smell can make my stomach growl.
Mo Fan picked up the spoon and took a sip, his eyes lit up.
The porridge was still hot, and Mo Fan ate slowly, so Ming Shi watched him from the sidelines.
"Master, don't you want to eat?"
"It's not necessary for a teacher."
"But eating alone is so boring." Mo Fan blinked.
If you can't eat porridge, you can play with his big ice cubes. Moreover, he really enjoys the time when the two of them are together, even if they simply sit there, have a meal and talk.
"Eat, I only cooked your portion."
"oh."
Mo Fan responded, Ming Shi thought that the other party should eat obediently now, but saw Mo Fan handing a small spoonful of Chuanwen porridge to his mouth.
The child has short hands and it is difficult to lift the spoon high. It should be a scene that makes people laugh, but Ming Shi only felt the warmth in his heart, lowered his head, and ate it without hesitation.
"This is made by Master, how can you not eat it?" Mo Fan said with a smile.
Ming Shi was helpless. But after a few days, after Mo Fan came, all his living habits seemed to be broken, but he still enjoyed it.
Next, Mo Fan said, "Master, I will prepare my own portion next time," and happily concentrated on eating.
After breakfast, Ming Shi took out a book from the bookshelf.
"Xiaofan, do you know what illusion is?"
Mo Fan thought for a while and said, "Illusion is mystery, art is law, and the art of mystery confuses people."
Ming Shi shook his head.
Mo Fan was distressed, "But the elders in the family all teach this way."
"Illusion can be divided into the five outer realms and the five inner realms. The five outer realms are seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. Another realm that can only be entered by the ultimate is the real illusion. Today we will first understand the inner five realms, and the outer five realms will be the teacher, and I will tell you next time."
Mo Fan's eyes were full of doubts, "Is that so, the illusion we learned is just a simple way to deceive the eyes?"
Ming Shi nodded happily, "Yes."
"Xiaofan, you have to know that today's fantasy world is no longer the real fantasy world. Thousands of years ago, when illusion was in power, it was the glory of illusion."
"But Master, isn't illusion also highly respected now?"
"But juggling skills, how does it compare with Huan?"
Ming Shi's tone was calm, but Mo Fan could feel the sarcasm in Ming Shi's words.
"Master, is it because of this reason that you live in seclusion here?"
"No."
Ming Shi patted his head and said, "Every move is an illusion, if it is shown in front of people, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Mo Fan has mentioned many times to tell Ming Shi not to touch his head, but seeing the "lost" look in his eyes, he can't help but soften his heart. Now, Mo Fan has been able to naturally rub the other side's head while cooperating with it.
Mo Fan: ... cover your face
He's a kid anyway, so, it doesn't matter, right
"Master, I don't seem to be affected."
If Ming Shi's behavior can easily arouse people's illusions, why doesn't he feel it at all
"Xiaofan, do you know 'Nianxin'?"
"Mind?"
"'Nianxin' is not confused by the illusion of the five outer realms."
Mo Fan opened his eyes wide, "Really? But sometimes I can also see illusions performed by others."
"That's because you are willing to be confused by it in your heart. I ask you as a teacher, do you know that it is an illusion?"
"I know," Mo Fan said as a matter of course, "They are too stupid, I knew it wasn't true just by looking at it."
"Then do you understand? What is 'Mind'?"
"I have one more question."
"Um?"
"I'm not the only one who saw it and knew it was fake. Could it be that those people are also 'Nianxin'?"
Ming Shi explained slowly, "'Nian Xin' is hard to come by in ten thousand years. The other people you mentioned, Xiaofan, should be so used to seeing the other party's tricks."
"It's hard to be one in ten thousand years, so am I very good? Master, I will definitely become a great illusionist in the future, as good as Master." Mo Fan clenched his fist.
"Xiaofan will naturally reach the realm of being a teacher, and even go to a higher level."
The author has something to say: Originally, I wanted to write an indifference and forbidden attack, but Fanfan chased after the gods, it seems that I collapsed after writing it. Gong has become a fanatic. . . .
