Smile and swing sword

Hearing this, Chi Shen's nose sharpened. He was kind to Xiang Tianyou at first because of the mission, but people are emotional animals, and there will be rewards after giving. Xiang Tianyou, as the protagonist of the world, will definitely change in the future. Long Xiansheng, at that time, there will be a lot of talents around him, and there will be countless good friends and mentors. Now when he is alone, it is really rare to be moved by the perseverance of an ordinary child like him. Why doesn't Chi Shen cherish this relationship so much? .

"I'm very happy to know my brother's intentions, and I'm willing to treat him as well!"

Xiang Tianyou won Chishen's promise, his smile gradually deepened, he grabbed his hand and put it in his palm, and said softly: "Let's have dinner together tonight, and I will send you back later."

Chi Shen thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "It's okay to stay here at night, just ask Alan to send a letter."

Ah Lan is a blue-throated singing robin raised by Xiang Tianyou, who can spit out a few human words. Usually, as long as he stays overnight, he will send the bird to fly to Wang's house to report a letter. Wang Heidan was very surprised when he saw it for the first time. Now I have long been used to it.

"I'm afraid it won't work tonight."

"Why?" After Chi Shen blurted out his question, he realized that the meaning of regret in his words was too strong, and hurriedly withdrew his words, "If it's inconvenient, then forget it."

"Where do you want to go? You will be leaving in three days. Your mother is only happy now, and she will be thinking about it in a few days. It's better to go back to accompany her in peace. I will take you back tomorrow night and start with your parents." Tell me, I will send you to the city to go to school tomorrow, and I will tell your husband that you will go to Chima, and you will stay with me all the way, just make an appointment and meet them at that time."

Chi Shen's eyes lighted up when he heard it, and he was very excited. He even wished he could leave immediately without waiting for three days, and he completely lost the disappointment just now. You can travel around the mountains and rivers, and you don't have to take into account the many rules of Mr. "

Xiang Tianyou pinched the tip of Chi Shen's nose, and was about to speak when he heard three knocks on the wooden door, and Dao Zong asked outside: "Master, Master Bao'er, it's time to eat."

The weather was sultry, and the meal was placed on the wooden table under the green radish outside the house. Xiang Tianyou led Chi Shen out of the house, and Daozong was already waiting by the table.After six years of acquaintance, Chi Shen never saw him at the table to eat together, so he felt uncomfortable at first, so he invited them once or twice.

Back at Wang's green brick and tile house at night, the black dog at the front yard saw Xiang Tianyou, and whined twice with his tail between his legs, but did not dare to make a sound. Li Jinhua happened to come out of the kitchen next to the main house and saw someone Afterwards, she was overwhelmed with surprise, rubbing the sarong around her waist vigorously with her wet hands, and there were several folds in the corners of her eyes when she smiled: "Ah, Master Xiang, the sky is still so bright, just let Bao'er come back alone." , such a small village, and the neighbors and folks who are familiar, why don't you feel at ease?"

Xiang Tianyou replied patiently: "Just take a walk to get rid of your appetite. Don't be afraid of anything. Bao'er is smart and cute. Even if she accidentally falls and knocks, it's all my fault."

Li Jinhua couldn't stop laughing after being coaxed by him, and waved her hands again and again: "The country kids are rough and thick, who cares about these, come in and sit." Only halfway through speaking, she turned around and opened the hidden door of the main room.

Xiang Tianyou walked in and said: "Auntie said that it is someone else's house, Bao'er is skinny, and she is also a scholar, how can others compare? I heard from him that he will go on a long trip to other counties with my husband in three days. The Poetry Association in Chima County is a place where future champions will show off their demeanor."

"This is really..." Li Jinhua narrowed her eyes with a smile, and patted Chi Shen on the shoulder, "There is no way to control his mouth, and he has to talk about every little thing. He just came back from class in the afternoon. , now the neighbors know about it. However, my husband also said that among the people who went there, there were as many as fifteen or six others. Our family's Baoer is the youngest, and she is really good at learning, so my husband brought it with me. !"

This statement is quite different from what Chi Shen himself said earlier, and Xiang Tianyou didn't expose it, and took up the topic with just the right amount of worry: "In this way, if Bao'er and these people are on the road on weekdays, I'm afraid they will have to eat some food." It's hard, after all, I'm three or five years behind, and I may not be able to keep up with many things."

Li Jinhua didn't expect this section, and was reminded by Xiang Tianyou, she immediately grimaced: "It's reasonable, it's reasonable, but there's nothing you can do..."

"There is a way," Xiang Tianyou narrowed his eyes, and said slowly, "After hearing what Bao'er said, I thought it was time to go for a walk, so I wanted to go to the Lantern Festival to join in the fun, but I just heard what you said, auntie, and I suddenly had a new idea. Why don't I take Bao'er, separate from the husband and the others, and go to Chima first."

Li Jinhua had a difficult time, Xiang Tianyou was a powerful person in her heart, but the teacher was not afraid to offend him, Chi Shen was barely on the top of the list, if the teacher felt that he was a student from a border village Difficult to serve, leaving a bad impression, I'm afraid it's not good.

Her thoughts, in the eyes of Xiang Tianyou, are like lighting a lamp in the daytime, and she can see it clearly: "If Bao'er follows me, food, clothing and lodging along the way, it will be considered as my elder brother's head, even though I came out of the king's capital, But I don’t care about this little money, and my aunt must not be polite to me. Second, the group of people in the academy are powerless. If something happens to you halfway, you can’t even protect yourself I don’t even have the ability, so it’s better to be protected by me, at least I don’t care about ordinary Xiaoxiao.”

Xiang Tianyou could list it again and again, but Li Jinhua panicked when she only heard the second point, she was just a woman who could not read big characters, she would never dare to joke about the life of her beloved son, so she agreed Come down: "It's really troublesome, but my aunt can't think of any other ideas. When I'm away from home, Bao'er still needs to ask you to take care of me."

The goal was achieved, and it was inconvenient for Xiang Tianyou to stay in the same room with a woman for too long, so he stood up and said with a smile, "Don't say that, Auntie, I have used all the rice noodles, steamed buns, coarse clothes and shoes over the years, but It’s not that the dog eats and wears it. Bao’er is likable, and the aunt’s family is even more kind-hearted. In the future, they will live happily ever after. Then this matter is settled. I will pick up Bao’er from school tomorrow and discuss it with my husband , it’s not early, I’ll go back first.”

Li Jinhua stood up happily, knowing that Chi Shen and Xiang Tianyou had a good relationship, she didn't go up to him, and only asked Chi Shen to send him out.

When Chi Shen turned back into the room again, he couldn't hide his laughter, his eyes were full of joy and complacency: "My dear baby, you were born with a rich life, you must be some god who wants to reincarnate and practice, and reincarnated into me It came from your belly! If the gentlemen in the city value you, what about the young master from the capital? It’s not that they take good care of you.”

Then he curled his lips and said: "But you can remember, whether it is sir or Master Xiang, they treat you differently because of your bright future. You have to fight for your breath. After returning from the Lantern Festival, you will pass the provincial examination , and then take the examination one by one, if you can win the first prize in one fell swoop in the future, you will be regarded as the Dragon Emperor! I have to value you too, what are these people worth?"

Chi Shen didn't agree with such a powerful argument, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"Mother, brother Tianyou treats me from the bottom of his heart, not out of greed. If you think this way, you'll be wrong."

Li Jinhua shook his head immediately, and educated with a face of regret: "Silly boy, you should be careful! Young Master Xiang was kicked out of the capital. If he is not willing to stay in this mountain for the rest of his life, then You have to find a noble person to help him, you are that person, understand?"

Chi Shen is funny and helpless. With his knowledge and experience, I am afraid that he will not be able to agree with Li Jinhua's words, deeds and thoughts in his whole life, and it will be even more difficult to communicate. Only her love and protection of her son can't bear to turn a blind eye, so she nodded and said: "I know Oh, mother, it’s just these words, you don’t want to talk about them in the future, misfortune comes out of your mouth, in case someone with a heart listens to it and makes a fuss...not to mention Lu Yao knows the horsepower, my brother Tianyou and I are sincere, It will be clear in time."

Li Jinhua felt that Chi Shen was still young after all, and after her man came back, she told the story again on the bed. Wang Tiezhu leaned on the bed and smoked, and after listening to it, he turned the pipe around and knocked. Thinking a lot further: "Listen to your son, and don't say such things in the future. He is a educated person, and he is more sensible than us. Besides, that Young Master Xiang, I think, is better than the clouded leopard in the mountains." Still elusive and unfathomable, you say he flattered us Bao'er? That's absolutely impossible."

"How is it impossible? One was kicked out of the capital..."

With a bang, the cigarette rod hit the edge of the bed heavily, and cut off half of Li Jinhua's words: "The capital of the king, the capital of the king, the capital of the king is far away from our village. Don't let other people spread the word, you believe it all!" Do you think he looked like he was kicked out back then? I told you clearly, he is not a stray dog, he is more ferocious than jackals, tigers and leopards. With him protecting Bao'er, That's Bao'er's luck!"

The man lost his temper, but Li Jinhua didn't dare to answer a word, and thinking about it, it was not unreasonable, she stretched out her hand to tuck the corner of the quilt, and replied: "Didn't I also agree to let Bao'er go with him? Well, you have to get up early tomorrow, so stop smoking and go to sleep."

The next day, Xiang Tianyou came as scheduled and sent Chi Shen to the school, and happened to meet the teacher before entering the door.The gentleman saw the chariots and horses from a distance, and he was thinking of a rich young master who had just come to the school. He had never made an appointment, but he saw a tall and tall man with extraordinary bearing helping the short boy behind him, and fixed his eyes on him. Look, it's not Wang Xiaobao from Biancun, who else is there?

After the two of them chatted, the gentleman looked at Tianyou's appearance and situation, so he didn't dare to underestimate him, and there was nothing he couldn't agree to. He was willing to take someone to pay for the journey alone, which saved the cost of traveling and boarding in the school.

On the night before the departure, Li Jinhua took out a new dress, opened it to Chi Shen to see the purse sewn to death, and asked him to pinch it with his hands, and told him, "Your father said, although there is something wrong with you all the way, young master." Take care, but try not to bother others as much as possible, and you are going out, what do you want to buy, don’t be too shabby, in addition to some copper coins, there is also a piece of silver for you, don’t save money, don’t let people look down upon you go."

Chi Shen didn't think it was a problem, but he stared at Wang Heidan greedily, staring at the dark bag.While Li Jinhua was packing other things, Chi Shen leaned over to him and said softly, "I'll win you a big lantern when I solve the riddle."

Wang Heidan immediately grinned and said happily, "Then I want a golden monkey lantern!"

Chi Shen took out two copper coins and stuffed them quietly into Wang Heidan's hands, and smiled with a dimple on his face: "Just wait for me to come back."
