Xiaodong lay down again, hugged Nuanmu tightly, closed his eyes tightly, and could squint again before dawn.
Maybe I can dream of my master and senior brothers again.
It's a pity whether he dreamed or not, and it's not up to him to decide, and it doesn't always come true. At first, I tossed and turned without falling asleep for a long moment, and then I fell asleep unsteadily, and woke up again with inexplicable palpitations in my heart, so intermittently until dawn that I dozed off again.
He and his senior brothers and senior sisters practiced together and had breakfast together. Naturally, the conversation was inseparable from the master, senior Liu and senior senior brother. Senior Sister Linglong took a bite of the steamed bun viciously: "If I study hard for ten or eight years, I'm afraid I won't be able to match the current skill of Senior Brother. But the next opportunity for Master and Senior Liu to compare swords is not sure when it will be again." There is."
Brother Jiang was always smiling and had a particularly good temper. He got up and served a bowl of porridge for Senior Sister Linglong: "It's okay to miss it this time. Why don't you tell us when the senior brother comes back? If you can get the advice from the senior brother, follow me." It’s the same when we went to see it ourselves.”
Linglong rolled her eyes at him: "You just don't want to make progress! Can what you see and hear be the same? What the brother realized is suitable for him, but it may not be suitable for us."
Jiang Fan was not annoyed at being robbed of a sentence by her, and just smiled while touching his head.
Xiaodong ate more than usual when eating with his brothers and sisters. He usually ate by himself, and cut a flatbread into four pieces, so he only ate one piece. Talking and laughing now, I can eat more.
The pancakes are freshly steamed and baked every day. They are crispy and soft, and the more you chew, the more delicious they become. As Xiaodong ate, he couldn't help thinking about the senior brother.
I don’t know how master and brother spent the night at the peak? Do you just sit on the frozen stone platform and meditate all night
What are they eating now? Dry food is cold and hard, how can I eat it
As soon as he was distracted, Jiang Fan noticed it, and tapped the rim of his bowl lightly with chopsticks: "Hey, I've come back to my soul, why are you so absorbed in your thoughts?"
"I'm wondering what master and the others eat in the morning...can you light a fire?"
Jiang Fan was delighted when he heard it, and even Senior Sister Linglong couldn't help laughing.
The two laughed so that Xiaodong was a little dazed, although he didn't know why they were laughing, but he could guess that he was probably making a joke.
"It's not easy if you want to eat something hot. Come here, Junior Brother Chen, come and show me your skills. We don't even know the kung fu passed down in your family. Let Junior Brother open his eyes."
Xiaodong turned his eyes to Chen Jingzhi curiously.
Although Chen Jingzhi was usually taciturn, now he also pursed his lips and smiled, put down his chopsticks and nodded.
Normally this fourth senior brother always had a straight face, Xiaodong felt that it was the first time he saw him smile a little in such a long time. With such a smile, it seems that Senior Brother Chen is not too old, but still looks like a young man.
Chen Jingzhi searched on the table, picked up a piece of pancake that had been cooled, covered the pancake with his palms together, and said to Xiaodong: "I'm showing my shame, I'm just getting started in this skill."
Xiaodong's gaze has been attracted by the pancake in his hand.
Chen Jingzhi held the pancake in his palm, rubbed it back and forth a few times, then handed the pancake to Xiaodong.
As soon as his hand touched Xiaodong, he was startled. The pancakes, which had been cold, turned warm again. They were a little hot to the touch, but once heated, they became softer. Now they can be eaten and swallowed. , there is no way to see that it was cold and hard just a moment ago.
"Senior brother Chen is really amazing." Xiaodong really gained insight. I vaguely remember hearing that some people can get hot when practicing kung fu, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Chen to be able to.
According to what my senior sister said, this mental method should be inherited from the Chen family, not the kung fu of returning to Liushan. But with the skills of Master and Senior Liu, they must be able to use this method.
Seeing Xiaodong's embarrassing look, Senior Brother Jiang said to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, Junior Brother is still young, so don't laugh anymore. Junior Brother, can you still eat this pancake?"
Xiaodong touched his stomach, he had already eaten a lot, and Senior Brother Chen handed him another piece, which really couldn't fit.
Jiang Fan was not too polite, took the pancakes, put some diced vegetables, soy beans, etc., and finished them in two or three bites.
Brother Jiang's appetite is really good.
After breakfast, Senior Brother Jiang was still instructing Xiaodong to practice kung fu. Senior Sister Linglong is short-tempered and impatient, let alone Senior Brother Chen, besides, he hasn't learned kung fu by himself, so he can't teach others.
After practicing the sword for a while, when Xiaodong stopped to rest, he suddenly remembered the sword technique used by his senior brother, and couldn't help asking: "Senior brother Jiang, how many sets of sword techniques are there in this sect? Have you learned all of them, senior brother?" "
Jiang Fan told him patiently one by one: "A lot, what you are practicing now is the most basic basic swordsmanship. When you are proficient and mastered, the next thing you should learn is Changyue swordsmanship. A total of 18 styles…”
Xiaodong stood up, thinking about the appearance of the elder brother last night, and made a gesture like a gourd. It's just that he was engrossed in watching it at the time, and he only remembered the general idea, plus he couldn't keep up with his bodywork and footwork, so he couldn't even make any gestures to the senior brother.
But after all, they are all swordsmanship of our school, Jiang senior brother recognized it at a glance: "Oh, this style is 'Nian Hua Long Yue', even I haven't learned it yet, our senior brothers have only learned it for a few years Sister Linglong also begged the master to come, but the master said that her foundation was not solid enough, and she would be too greedy if she just wanted to learn advanced and exquisite sword moves, which would not be good for her. Where did you see it?" Waiting for Xiaodong Answered, he took it for granted and continued: "I saw it when I was watching the senior brother practice, right? This pose is not as simple as it looks. You can’t learn it in ten or eight years.”
There was one more thing Jiang Fan didn't say.
Even after ten or eight years, judging by Xiaodong's talent for comprehension, it's hard to say whether he can learn this set of sword skills. The master accepted the younger brother at that time because he was entrusted by an old friend on his deathbed. Seeing that the younger brother had no relatives and no one to rely on, if the master didn't take him in, how would he live alone? But the master didn't pay much attention to teaching the juniors, this Jiang Fan could tell.
But no matter how much Jiang Fan likes to chatter about this matter, he won't say it casually. The younger brother is simple-minded, and he is willing to work hard in practice. Even if he can't become famous in the future, isn't most people in this world like this? How many people are there who are as amazingly talented as the elder brother
Jiang Fan himself is not very savvy, but he is also sincere, and his master also values him very much.
Xiaodong didn't expect to learn the senior brother's swordsmanship, so he got Jiang senior brother to talk about it, and quickly nodded to show that he has been taught, and he will definitely work hard, and he will never make mistakes because he is arrogant. Only then nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Yan stood under a tree not far away, and greeted Jiang Fan and his senior brothers, "Are you practicing kung fu?"
Jiang Fan's smile didn't change, and he answered from a distance: "The practice is over, is there something for Senior Sister Lin?"
Although he looked the same as usual, Xiaodong could tell that Brother Jiang's smile was not genuine, it was different from usual, and now the smile was mostly polite.
Although Xiaodong didn't go up the mountain for long, he didn't know much. But he knows one thing. Every kung fu is an undisclosed secret of its own school, and it is a taboo to spy on and watch others practice kung fu casually. If Senior Sister Lin saw them from a distance, she should walk away by herself.
Although they haven't practiced any advanced kung fu, Brother Jiang is just teaching him how to get started with swordsmanship, but the reason is the same.
"It's been two days since I've been here. I just heard that the scenery on your mountain is good, but I haven't seen it before, and it's not easy to walk around."
Jiang Fan said: "Hey, this matter, if Senior Sister Lin wants to go shopping, we can guide you. However, the scenery of Huiliu Mountain is good, that's when it's hot, and now it's freezing, and there's ice and snow everywhere. It’s built, there’s nothing to see and talk about, and the road is not easy to walk.”
Lin Yan stretched out his hand and brushed the hair that was blown by the wind, and his smile was very gentle and moving: "It doesn't matter, and we don't go far, let's take a walk nearby?"
She is a guest, but also a girl. Now that she has said so, Brother Jiang can't refuse anymore.
"Okay, Junior Brother and I will go back and change our clothes, Senior Sister Lin will wait for us."
When he turned around, Brother Jiang told Xiaodong in a low voice: "If she asks you about something later, you can just tell me that you didn't know until you went up the mountain. I will tell you, you know?"
Xiaodong nodded quickly.
Besides, he had been up the mountain not long ago, so he really didn't know much about the situation on the mountain. What Lin Yan wanted to ask, he might not be able to answer.
"Brother, what will she inquire about?"
"I don't know either." Jiang Fan frowned: "The master and senior brother are not here, if something happens to these three people, it will be troublesome, and secondly...they are guests after all, so I am afraid they will be left behind." It hurt Senior Liu's face."
Xiaodong felt that he had to look at Brother Jiang with admiration.
I usually look at senior brother Jiang with a smile, but I didn't expect him to have a plan in his heart. The master and senior brother were not there, Senior Sister Linglong was impatient and hopeless, Chen Jingzhi and Xiaodong were young, so Senior Brother Jiang was the only one who could talk and make decisions.
After returning to add a jacket, Jiang Fan and Xiaodong brothers accompanied Lin Yan out of the house.
It is rare that there is no snow today, the weather is fine, and the mountain ridges far and near are covered with snow, covered in snow. The sun is reflected on the snow, and the bright and translucent white snow reflects the blue sky. The sky looks higher and the mountains look farther away, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Lin Yan was wearing a fur cloak with a blue background and a silver border, and a circle of white fur at the neckline, which made her look more beautiful, and her tone was soft when talking to them. When she was about to walk up to Shen Yunjian, she asked casually: "What is this place? Is that a waterfall in front?" (To be continued)
