Chapter 23 (1/2)
The stone carving was supposed to be cold, but because the elder martial brother always carried it with him, the little monkey was ironed warm and warm by his body temperature, which was hotter than Xiaodong's hand.
He held the little monkey, how many doubts in his heart, at this moment all rely on the back to stand.
”For me?”
The elder martial brother smiles and nods.
There is space in my younger brother's room. He is still young. There is nothing in the room that belongs to young people. It's empty. It makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
When the younger martial brother came to the mountain, his luggage was just a small burden. There was nothing else but two clothes to change. It was heartbreaking to look at it. At the foot of the mountain, a half old child of his age always has a lot of gadgets. The younger martial brother's life in the past is certainly not the same as it is now, but he is very sensible and never asks for anything. The more sensible you look, the more heartache you will feel.
Xiaodong holds the little monkey tightly.
He saw the elder brother picking materials and watching him cut stones, but at that time he didn't know that it was for himself.
In fact, Mo Chen didn't guess right. Xiaodong's life was different from that of ordinary people's children before he went back and forth. He had no playmates and didn't have any favorite gadgets. I don't say it when I don't remember. Since he can remember things, he always follows his uncle everywhere. He doesn't stay there for a long time. Since he doesn't even have a home, there is nothing that belongs to him. Once they lived, the neighbor had a little yellow dog. He was very close to Xiaodong. When he saw him, he wagged his tail. Xiaodong was also willing to feed him something to eat and play with him. But he can't have these cats and dogs himself. On another occasion, he and his uncle saw the dough figurine in the market. The craftsmanship was very good. The birds, animals, insects, fish and people were all lifelike. He looked and looked. When his uncle asked if he wanted to, he still shook his head.
A noodle also costs two Wen. Besides, where do you put it after you buy it?
Uncle to him very little, did not lack his food and clothing, but he is not so careful, can not remember that children in addition to food and clothing warm, but also need the next thing.
Xiaodong clutches the little monkey tightly, too hard, palms are sweating.
”Thank you. Thank you, elder martial brother.”
”It's not a precious thing. You can use it to press books. When it's warm, I'll bring you some things, but I don't know what you like
”All, all like it.” Xiaodong doesn't know what's wrong with him. Obviously, it's a happy thing, but my heart is sour and my nose is sour, and my voice is trembling: ”but elder martial brother, you have business when you go out. Don't delay things for the sake of fragmentary things.”
”No delay.” The master asked him, ”how are you these two days? I heard from younger martial brother Jiang that you are getting cold again? ”
”No, No Xiaodong quickly denied it, waved his hand and said, ”elder martial brother Jiang has forced me to drink a lot of ginger soup. No matter how much cold air is driven away.”
He didn't like the taste of ginger. Elder martial brother Jiang also made the people in the kitchen cook more thick. He poured it on him several times. It was so hot that he felt like he was burning from mouth to stomach. After half a day, he belched again. Don't mention it's hard.
Mo Chen also see, smile, also no longer mention this.
Xiaodong has been holding the little monkey. After seeing off the elder martial brother, he can't bear to let go. The stone is really the piece of stone that the elder martial brother was looking for on lunjian peak. Xiaodong is no stranger to it at all. However, he did not see the master who carved stones. Unexpectedly, the craftsmanship of the elder martial brother was quite good. The little monkey carved it vividly. The long tail was rolled and a peach was held in his paw. The peach was carved with two leaves on its stem. Look carefully, the monkey's mouth is wide, curved, or smiling.
Xiaodong held the little monkey in his hands. He liked it more and more. He didn't want to put it far away when he went to bed at night. He put it on the edge of his pillow so that he could see it again when he woke up.
When the joy finally subsided and the sleepiness got up, Xiaodong remembered an important thing.
He forgot to ask his senior brother. Master Liu said that he would be sent away by the master. Did the master agree? Do you really want him to leave the mountain?
Xiaodong also knows that Liu is not saying that out of a bad heart. He is not very sophisticated. It sounds like he has known his uncle in the past. Even if the friendship is not good, a well-known senior person in the family has no reason to do harm to a child. Master Liu said that he was not suitable to worship under the master's door, so he was really not suitable.
But Xiaodong doesn't want to go.
He didn't want to go even though the master would arrange a more suitable place for him.
Tomorrow, when the master is free, he goes to tell the master that he doesn't want to go, he wants to stay in Huihui mountain. If the master doesn't agree, he will kneel down and ask elder martial brother Jiang to help him out.
Master Liu still carried his sword case after he went down to Jianfeng. Before Xiaodong saw the little monkey, he still had doubts about whether the sword box was really empty, but now he has no doubt. What he saw in his dream was real, not imaginary. Since there is no sword in the sword box of Master Liu in the dream, it must not be.…… It's just that he doesn't understand why he dreams about it? Even if Xiaodong is young and has little experience, he knows that this is not an ordinary thing. He and his uncle have gone through many places, and have never heard of any talented person who can do this again.
My uncle didn't seem to have, and he didn't talk about whether other members of the cloud family did.
I don't think so.
That's the question. Why does he have such a strange ability?
Xiaodong is puzzled. He looks at the little monkey, happy and worried. He doesn't sleep well all night.
When I got up the next day, there were a lot of things. The master wrote a couplet early in the morning and asked them to stick them on the door. There are not only couplets, but also the characters of ”Fu” written on the red paper. Even the post in front of the main hall is pasted. The big red couplets and the characters of Fu are very straight and straight, reflecting the ice and snow, which adds a lot of happiness to the cold and cold backwater mountain.
Xiaodong doesn't dare to come to the master, so he pesters his brother in and out. Mo Chen wants to do something, and he grabs it. Mo Chen wants to send people, he runs errands first. This day down, but let Mo Chen some cry and laugh.
