Aunt Qi was idle at the moment, Linglong went to retreat, she was feeling empty in her heart, Xiaodong came to find her to mend clothes, and found something for her to do, so that she would not feel uncomfortable alone.
"When I was young, my craft was not as good as it is now, but my eyesight was better than now. Now I feel that the work I am doing is worse than when I was young, but my eyesight is not as good as before."
Xiaodong helped her pass the thimble: "May I ask senior brother to prescribe some medicine for you? Although it is unlikely that you will be able to return to the same state as when you were young, it is better than no cure."
Aunt Qi smiled: "It's impossible. If it could be cured, the real person would have cured it for me long ago. My eyes have been smothered by smoke, and it would be great if I can see things without being blind. But don't worry, your clothes There was just a small hole, and it was easy to mend."
Xiaodong actually likes to be with Aunt Qi. Aunt Qi has a good temper and is not only good at needlework, but also makes good snacks.
Just nagging sometimes.
"Aunt Qi, how long have you been on the mountain?"
Aunt Qi answered him without thinking too much: "It must be almost thirty years..."
Xiaodong can deduce one thing without doing any calculations: "Isn't that earlier than Senior Brother?"
Although the eldest brother is quite capable and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger day by day, but to be honest, he is only in his twenties.
"Of course." Aunt Qi said with a smile.
"Then, do you know what Elder Brother looked like when he was a child?"
Aunt Qi pursed her lines: "Of course I know. Mr. Mo has been very sensible since he was a child, and he doesn't cry a lot like ordinary children. I still remember the day when the real person brought him back. It was late autumn at that time. The weather was very cold, and there was frost on the trees and rocks. When the real person brought him back, the swaddle was wet. I was really shocked at that time. , even if he didn’t freeze to death, he would have to be seriously ill. I don’t know how cruel the people who threw him down the mountain were. Tore it up and ate it?"
Really too cruel.
Xiaodong followed Aunt Qi to fight against the enemy, and cursed the unknown villain in his stomach.
Aunt Qi babbled on, she had no clue when talking about the past, but fortunately Xiaodong was not picky, she listened very carefully, and didn't want to miss a word.
Huh
"Aunt Qi, there don't seem to be any birds and beasts on our mountain or below, right? There are formations on our mountain."
Aunt Qi raised her head and said with some confusion: "I remember there were some in the early years..."
"No way," Xiaodong said, "Brother Jiang said that the formation existed long ago."
Aunt Qi thought about it seriously: "In the early years, there were wolves. I remember wolves, and others. I haven't seen them in these years."
While speaking, Aunt Qi mended the clothes for him, and let Xiaodong see if he was satisfied. Aunt Qi's workmanship is good, and if she looked through it casually, she couldn't tell that the clothes were mended.
Xiaodong happily put the repaired clothes back on, and made up her mind that she must save on wearing them in the future, and she couldn't just torn and soiled them casually.
The cheapest and safest way is of course to put them away and not wear them, so that the clothes will not be old or dirty.
But Xiaodong likes this senior brother's old clothes very much. Wearing this, he always felt that the distance between himself and his elder brother was closer, and he even became more confident than before. It seems that wearing the clothes of the elder brother can be as good as the elder brother.
Xiaodong tugged at his sleeves, stood there giggling, and continued walking back after laughing. In late spring, there are many flowers blooming on the mountain, most of which cannot be named. They are red, green and emerald, not expensive, but lively, and the wind blowing is fragrant. Xiaodong walks briskly, and his clothes are filled with wind. bulging. The sun was particularly good, and it made his forehead burn. He walked all the way back and felt a little shaky, and his head was a little dizzy.
Seeing that his face was blushing, Mo Chen told him: "Go drink water, why is it so hot?"
"If you want to come back quickly, let's go fast." There was still a long way to run back, and my heart was beating fast, and my face was still red after sitting down for a long time.
"Big Brother, Big Brother!" Jiang Fan smiled when he came in, and turned to let the person behind him enter the door: "Who do you see coming?"
Xiaodong turned his head, and through the shelf, he could see a person coming in behind Senior Brother Jiang, wearing a beautiful blue cloak, his face could not be seen clearly through the shelf, only to hear that the senior brother was very pleasantly greeted, and the two Chang Yi saluted, then entered the room together with a smile.
Xiaodong followed, and the guest who came was unfamiliar, and he didn't know how to address him.
This man is not short, Xiaodong has to raise his head to see him.
"This is Junior Brother Yun, right? I've heard my teacher mention that Master Li has taken in another young apprentice. This is the first time I've seen him."
Mo Chen introduced Xiaodong from the side: "This is the disciple of Master Hu, you should call him Senior Brother Ning."
Xiaodong quickly saluted.
Brother Ning stretched out his hand to help, and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, I didn't bring a meeting gift. If this gift comes along, how can I just leave it empty-handed and not show it? But if I really give it, I won't be willing to give it."
This senior brother Ning spoke very humorously, and he was not at all out of touch.
Xiaodong raised his head to see clearly the appearance of Senior Brother Ning.
Three words come to mind.
sick beauty.
Of course Senior Brother Ning is a man, but he can only think of these three words.
Brother Ning's complexion is fair, without any trace of blood, and he is thin. Only his eyebrows and eyeballs can be seen on his entire face, which are extremely black. In such warm weather, he was wrapped in a fur cloak. The cloak is extraordinarily thick, not like a piece of clothing, but like a solid shell, covering people inside.
His tone was very gentle, but Xiaodong instinctively even breathed lightly in front of him. The person in front of him looks like heaps of ice and snow, only his eyebrows and eyes are like pine smoke and thick ink, black and white complement each other, the white is whiter, and the black is blacker, people can't look away after one glance.
However, after looking at it again, I don't know why I feel frightened, I always feel that such a person is like a pile of glazed snow,
"Hello, Brother Ning."
Brother Ning also responded with a smile: "Hello, Brother Yun."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Our junior brother is shy, so don't make jokes out of your mouth, you won't be able to afford to scare our junior brother."
Senior Brother Ning laughed, and Xiaodong also laughed.
"Following Master Li's letter, my teacher knew that Huiliu Mountain was not peaceful recently, so I asked for an errand to deliver the letter." Brother Ning said, "I can stay a little longer this time, if there is anything I can help Don’t be polite to me when you’re busy.” (To be continued)
