Master is not married yet

Chapter 9
"Brother—Master!" I carried the lantern and walked quickly towards the cliff, laying down on the ground and using the lamp to shine forward, "Don't be too hard on yourself! It's just a fruit, there are still many interesting things in life—— —!”

Before I finished speaking, several plump and round fruits were thrown up from below. I took a few with one hand and looked down the cliff. Grab a slightly protruding rock with the right hand, and pick the fruit with the other hand happily.

I slumped back, a little relieved, and almost witnessed a scene that I couldn't bear at my age.

After a while, the big senior brother crawled up, stuffed his coat with the same fruit that I took just now, patted his sleeves with a happy expression, "I didn't expect it to grow so much here, I will know next time .”

I thought he was fine, so I took a long breath and glanced at the sweet-looking fruit in my hand. Maybe it was because I was nervous just walking around, and I felt a little hungry now, so I asked him, "Elder brother, what's the matter?" Can I have some now?"

His expression was a little subtle, but he smiled and said, "Yes, let's eat."

Thinking of the elder brother yelling that it was rare, I took a bite of the fruit full of anticipation, but just after I bit it, an indescribable bitter taste rushed straight into my nostrils, it looked like yellow lotus, but it was much more deadly than yellow lotus. The taste stuck in my throat, no matter how much I swallowed, I couldn't wash away the damn bitter taste. I coughed a few mouthfuls and tried to spit out the pulp, but it had the opposite effect. The bitter taste became more intense in my mouth, as if it melted into my mouth mouth into one.

I knelt down on my knees, with tears in my eyes, thinking to myself: Is senior brother playing tricks on me?

He squatted down in front of me, wiped an apple on his sleeve, exchanged the fruit in his hand with me, grinned, "I just picked the apple, eat it quickly, the fruit in your hand cannot Eat it raw, otherwise the taste will only become more bitter in the mouth with time."

I took the apple, looked at him twice, and quickly took a big bite. The sweet juice slid down into my mouth, reducing the bitterness a lot.

I looked at the fruit I bitten just now with lingering fear, and said, "Elder brother, you see that my daily life is too nourishing, and you want to train me to be hard-working?"

The big brother laughed.

I took another bite of the apple in my hand, remembering that this was what the second senior brother ate before dinner, and couldn't help but respect him, "Then... the second senior brother is doing penance, isn't he, not only can he eat this fruit raw without expression , and ate several in a row..."

The elder brother's laughter gradually weakened, and there were many emotions in his blue eyes, "No, Ah Jing just has no sense of taste. He probably doesn't know the taste of the fruits he eats."

I stopped and looked at the elder brother.

He looked at the flickering candles in the lantern and continued, "You should have noticed that most of the things he cooks have no taste, and he seldom eats or drinks outside." He paused, "Besides the sense of taste, he has no Smell, I'm afraid..."

He didn't continue talking, but just stared at the candle light in a daze.

"...But he has always had a strong self-esteem, so don't let him know that you already know about it," the elder brother looked at me, "I think, when the time comes, he will tell you."

He also said, "...and Ah Chu, who was brought to the sect by the master after the Chu family suffered a big fire a few years ago. He is more than a year old but looks like a seven or eight-year-old child, with only a bamboo flute and a fake ability on his body, Ah Jing and I don't know what happened behind Ah Chu, but no matter how we ask the master, he is unwilling to say more. "

Under the radiance of the fire, the elder brother's glazed eyes added a little warmth, "In the daytime, I really said that Master has a bad personality, and his behavior is always hard to see through, but he...has his good, at least he gives us three A place for the homeless to belong."

I don't know why the elder brother suddenly said this to me, but when he mentioned these things, I couldn't help but think of the time when my master performed the paper crane illusion in front of me tirelessly when I was young.

Therefore, Xiao Wuxia is still the same Xiao Wuxia, but he was supposed to be gentle and calm all his life, but he didn't know what happened. This kindness is no longer pure.

"Tudou," the elder brother's call brought me back to my senses, "do you still want to leave the Mirror Gate?"

I froze for a moment, and suddenly understood why the elder brother dragged me out so suddenly for a late-night adventure. It was probably because he saw me packing my luggage that he insisted on taking me out.

It's just that he seems to have misunderstood the reason why I want to leave the sect. I'm not afraid of the master, but because the master found out that I said he has a problem, and it's impossible to get married.

Thinking of this, I felt embarrassed and blushed for a while.

"Eldest brother, you misunderstood me. It's not that I'm afraid of Master. I'm...uh, anyway, I won't leave the sect. I'm just simulating the scene when I escape from an earthquake."

The elder brother's eyes burst into light, "Ah, you won't leave?"

I nodded.

He said that, can I still leave, and I really care about the matter of the master and the brothers, even if I may face the death stare of the master tomorrow morning, I have to grit my teeth and get through it.

"That's great!" The elder brother jumped up happily, "Without you, I really don't know where to find my wife, you see, you have some insights on the white chrysanthemum, and I will rely on you in the future. "

"Brother, it's the white lotus, the white chrysanthemum is very rude."

"Huh? How did I remember it was a chrysanthemum? Forget it," he scratched his head and grinned, "Tudou, you might as well marry me after Master gets married. I think we get along pretty well."

"I do not want."

"Hey, why did you refuse so quickly? What's wrong with senior brother?"

"...The fruits you just picked are all squeezed into yours, I can't do it."

"...What about this?"

He tried to.

I didn't even look at it. I carried the lantern and walked back in the direction I came by alone.
