In fact, Xiaodong is neither afraid of the cold nor the dark.
He quickly spread out the two quilt tubes, arranged the pillows, and let the brother sleep on the outer side. He shook off his shoes, took off his outer shirt, and got into the inner quilt tube.
After Mo Chen locked the door and turned around, he saw that Xiaodong had already got into the bed, only his small head was exposed outside.
"Is it cold?"
"It's not cold, I have this." Xiaodong hugged the warm wood that was tucked into the quilt just now a little bit tighter: "There is such a good thing in the world. I don't know what this tree looks like. If If you can build a house with such wood, you will never have to worry about winter in your life.”
Mo Chen also made him laugh: "Warm wood is not a common thing, I have only seen this one in the past few years."
"I know, I'll just say it."
Such a rare piece of wood must be of great use when the senior brother brings it back, but now it is given to him for heating.
Xiaodong pursed her lips and laughed secretly.
It doesn't matter, he is just hugging Nuannuan, not chopping firewood for burning. When the next spring is warm and the flowers bloom, he will return the wood to his brother. As for next winter, at that time his kung fu will be stronger than now, so he won't be afraid of the cold any more, so he doesn't need to hold this anymore.
Mo Chen put the lamp aside, took off his clothes and lay down.
"Go to sleep."
Although it's snowing, there's no need to get up early to practice kung fu tomorrow, but Mo Chen has no intention of letting his juniors be lazy. People are afraid of being lazy. If you are free for a day or two, it will soon become a habit. In the future, if you want to urge them to work harder, it will take several times more effort.
He thought about calling people tomorrow morning to talk about the essentials of body skills that he hadn't finished teaching last time.
I don't know where the master is now, and whether he can come back in a few days. On this trip, the errand assigned by the master was only half done. He delivered all the letters the master asked him to find, but he only got a few of the things the master asked him to find, which was less than half of what was written on the list. Thinking that he had been away for more than half a year, he was afraid that the master would be worried, so he hurried back. As a result, the master fell on the mountain.
Mo Chen was thinking about something, Xiaodong had secretly turned his head to look at him several times.
Although the senior brother didn't talk to him, there was one more person in the room, and the feeling was quite different.
So fine.
How good, he couldn't tell. In short, it is good, my heart is warm, and my body is also warm. When you open your eyes, you don't feel that the room is dark, and when you close your eyes, you don't feel that the room is empty.
It was so good that he lay there like a little mouse that stole oil, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop turning up.
"Stop laughing, go to sleep."
Xiaodong was startled, and quickly pursed her lips. But after a while he felt strange again.
"Brother, how do you know I'm laughing?"
He didn't laugh out loud again, and the room was so dark. And the senior brother didn't turn his head to look at him at all, how did he know he was smiling
Mo Chen knew the expression on the younger brother's face without turning his head.
Then why turn around to find out
Xiaodong can't get an answer, and I'm afraid he will be so uncomfortable that he won't be able to sleep tonight. After asking twice, Mo Chen ignored him, Xiaodong stretched out his hand from under the quilt, and boldly pulled Mo Chen's quilt.
One time, two times, the elder brother didn't move and ignored him, as if he fell asleep immediately after saying that sentence.
Liar, how can anyone fall asleep so fast.
Xiaodong's hand continued to stretch forward...
I can't stretch anymore.
The senior brother's arm just pressed the side of the quilt tightly, but Xiaodong couldn't reach in. It felt like a wall was erected in front of him, blocking the way to death.
Xiaodong did not retreat despite the difficulties, but became more and more courageous as he became frustrated. We can outsmart us if we are not capable. He bent his fingers and scratched the senior brother's arm through the quilt.
The secret that senior brother is afraid of people being tickled, needless to say, senior brother Jiang revealed it to him.
Sure enough, without scratching twice, the elder brother loosened his arm, Xiaodong was overjoyed, and took advantage of the victory to pursue, and put his hand into the elder brother's quilt.
In the end, before he could enjoy himself, the senior brother raised his arm and then let it go, this time Xiaodong's entire slap was suppressed.
Now Xiaodong was dumbfounded, the elder brother didn't seem to put much effort, just released it lightly, and his hand couldn't move. It's heavy, but it doesn't hurt at all. To say that the pressure is light, but now his hand can't move, he can't stretch it forward, he can't pull it out, it's really a dilemma, he is so anxious that he is so anxious that he even comes to help with his other hand , but to no avail.
Senior Brother Jiang lied to others, how could Senior Brother be so generous? It's just haggling.
Knowing that he was no match, Xiaodong could only whisper, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother? I was wrong..."
Mo Chen suppressed a smile, and his voice sounded like a senior brother: "I know I'm wrong?"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, please raise your elbow high, senior brother, my hand is going numb."
After listening to most of the good things he said, Mo Chen finally showed kindness and raised his arm. Xiaodong quickly withdrew his hands, wrapped the quilt around him tightly, and prepared to sleep honestly, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. Come here to stroke the tiger's beard.
Mo Chen felt very fresh.
All the younger brothers and younger sisters respected him very much, no one had ever dared to tease him so much. Junior brother usually looks timid, like a little sparrow, but in fact he is very lively.
He meditated silently in his heart. Only halfway through the reading, Xiaodong's bout of honesty passed away again, and he called in a low voice again: "Brother, are you asleep?"
Mo Chen didn't make a sound.
"Really asleep?"
He still couldn't read the Dharma, but the strange thing was that he didn't feel annoyed at all.
Knowing that he was not asleep, Xiaodong continued, "I suddenly thought just now that fourth senior brother and I came up the mountain later, but senior senior brother, you, second senior sister, and third senior brother have all been on the mountain since childhood. The three have different surnames? Are they all the surnames of the same family? Where is your hometown, brother? Is there no one at home?"
Mo Chen didn't expect that when he asked this, he lost his mind for a short moment, then came back to his senses, and answered softly: "The three of us are different. Brother Jiang is an orphan picked up by the master. When he picked it up, there was a seal on his body. Xin, his surname should be the surname of the family. The junior sister is also an old friend of the master, and the master adopted her after the family suffered a disaster."
As for Mo Chen himself, he has been by the master's side since he can remember, and he once asked about his life experience before, the master only said that he also met by chance, he has no father and mother, and is an orphan.
He also thought about it before, since the master also said that he didn't know his background, why didn't he follow the master's surname Li? The name Mo Chen has been used for so many years, and when he goes out, others will always call him Mo Shaoxia politely.
But why his surname is Mo, he doesn't even know this.
He didn't speak, Xiaodong was already regretting that he asked something he shouldn't have asked.
Who wants to be an orphan? Xiaodong had been trapped in the pain of bereavement before, now think about it, which of the brothers and sisters on the mountain has both parents? Except for the fourth senior brother, everyone else has no relatives. Although he has been at odds with his parents since he was a child, he still has an uncle after all. Compared with his brothers and sisters, he is actually much luckier.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm talking nonsense, don't be angry."
"No, I'm not angry." Mo Chen said: "Master raised me and accepted me as a disciple. I will never be able to repay this kindness in my life."
Xiaodong quickly echoed: "Yes, Master is very good."
Wasn't he also taken in by the master? If the master doesn't accept him, he has no relatives, no reason, and no home to return to. I really don't know what he will be like now. (to be continued)
