Chapter 37 (1/2)

Xiaodong follows the elder martial brother step by step. The elder martial brother is tall and has long legs. His stride is bigger than his. But today's step-by-step walk slowly, Xiaodong does not have any difficulty to follow.

”You have a good rest. Now it's not only that there is no peace outside the mountain gate, but also that there are people on the mountain. The master won't let people in and out of the mountain. For one thing, he is afraid that the disciples will be plotted again, and the other is that they are afraid to sneak in.”

Xiaodong nods in a daze, and doesn't think he walks behind his elder martial brother. How can he see him nodding.

Elder martial brother's courtyard is indeed the most spacious on the mountain, but there are few things. It seems that the master doesn't often stay in the house. Mo Chen poured a pill of medicine from the porcelain bottle to him. When Xiaodong took the medicine, he only felt a little spicy. After eating it, he felt that there was a heat in his stomach. His frozen hands and feet also felt itchy.

”Don't worry. Elder martial brother will help you find the pendant. Sooner or later, it will be found.”

Xiaodong nods.

In his heart, he thought, does the elder martial brother actually feel that he is not sensible in his heart? There was such a big trouble on the mountain. When he died, he only thought about his own pendant.

I've been wearing it around my neck for a long time, and I don't feel anything. Now I've lost it all at once. I always feel that it's not only on my neck, but also in my heart.

”Go to sleep. I haven't slept all night.”

”Didn't you sleep, elder martial brother?”

Mo Chen touched his head: ”don't be stubborn, lie down quickly.”

Since I was a child, I have no fixed place to live in. I have slept in all kinds of places in Xiaodong. I have a high bed and a soft pillow. I can make up for it by burning a pile of fire in a ruined temple.

But now he is sleeping in the bed of the elder martial brother, pillow his pillow, covering his quilt.

Elder martial brother's bedding and pillow smell the same as his body, very light and clean, with the fragrance of saponin horn.

Xiaodong remembered how dirty he had been this night. Although his bloody robe was taken off, it was not clean inside. Hands and feet are dirty, face and hair are dirty.

But Mo Chen stood by the bed, covered the quilt for him, and said softly, ”sleep.”

Xiaodong looks at the elder martial brother and doesn't know why. His voice seems to have a kind of power, which makes people have no way to disobey him.

Xiaodong closed his eyes obediently.

Mo Chen guarded him for a while. He made sure that Xiaodong was lying down from his eyes closed, and gradually fell into a deep sleep. He came out of the house and closed the door gently with his backhand.

Xiaodong faintly, as if to hear someone talking.

Far away, the voice was so vague that I couldn't hear what they were saying.

Xiaodong recognized the voice of the eldest martial brother, and suddenly sobered up a lot.

Sometimes he couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality, and he didn't know whether it was true. The secret made him feel strange and perplexed at first, and then he was afraid. He didn't know who he could talk to about it. In the past, when my uncle was there, he wanted to talk about it, but his uncle's injuries broke out frequently. He didn't want his uncle to worry about his affairs, so he put up with it and held it up.

Later, his uncle did not have a close relationship with his master and brothers, let alone no one to say.

Xiaodong sees master and elder martial brother and elder martial brother Jiang together, but doesn't see elder martial sister Linglong and fourth elder martial brother.

The elder martial brother came and went in a hurry just now. He only changed his robe stained with blood, but he didn't change his shoes and scarves. Xiaodong recognized that he was wearing the same pair of boots he wore last night, the pair he wore when he was carrying him on his back, and the pair he wore when he was sent back to have a rest.

Li Fulin's face is always smiling and very kind-hearted. Xiaodong has never seen what his master looks like.

Now he knows.

Before going back and forth to the mountain, my uncle said that Mr. Li was an unusual person. Although his reputation was not obvious, he had real ability and personality, which was absolutely impossible to say. If not, my uncle would not have chosen him to take care of him at that time.

Xiaodong had never paid attention to these things before. First, master always pitied him and was kind to him. Second, most of his life after he went up the mountain didn't stray and didn't pay attention to anything.

The master was sitting there, obviously the chair was not high, but it made people feel that they had to raise their heads and look up. They didn't even dare to breathe.
