Master Shennong

Chapter 521 The Surprising Appreciation Ceremony
In the shanty town of Dongcheng, Fanxiang City, a beam of light descended from the sky.

The six-year-old Chi Jiao led a young man to his shabby home with a look of excitement.

Orphans and widows, what life will be like, Qin Lan has long imagined.

But when Qin Lan stood at the door of Chi Jiao's house and saw the small one-bedroom in front of him, she still couldn't help but feel a little sour.

Qin Lan is also a child from a poor family, but Qin Lan's hardest life can't be compared with Chi Jiao's life.

Those who struggle to survive in big cities often have a harder time than those who are self-sufficient in small mountain villages.

On this point, Qin Lan was noncommittal before, but now she firmly believes.

He looked up at the simple house, and the smoke from the kitchen in the twilight hovered above the house.

It seemed that she heard the movement from the door. In the kitchen, which couldn't be regarded as the kitchen, a middle-aged woman with a haggard face, whose age did not match her appearance, trotted out with a look of anxiety on her face.

When she saw Chi Jiao, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy worry in her eyes turned into endless blame.

Without saying a word, she picked up a stick of uniform thickness standing by the wall, ignoring Chi Jiao's immature face, raised her hand and slammed the stick on Chi Jiao's ass.

"Tell me, where did you go today? Do you know that your mother is very worried about you? Do you feel that you have grown up and your wings are hardened, and you want to be like your dead mother, leaving me alone !” The woman said indifferently.

While speaking, he raised the stick in his hand and beat Chi Jiao vigorously.

It hurts my son's body, but my mother's heart hurts.

Qin Lan could clearly see the tears in the woman's eyes.

Tears rolled, as stubborn as Chi Jiao before, just refused to fall.

As for Chi Jiao, he didn't dodge or dodge in the face of the woman's whipping, he forcibly endured every vigorous whipping, his face was calm, and he didn't have any resentment that he should have after being severely beaten.

Qin Lan had a panoramic view of all this from one side, her heart twitching fiercely.

He was silent, silent, watching all this quietly, and he didn't want to come forward to explain for Chi Jiao just because the woman beat Chi Jiao.

This is Chi Jiao's own business. If he does something wrong, he will be punished. Chi Jiao left the house without telling his mother. Although he had good intentions, he did something wrong after all.

Besides, this is Chi Jiao's family background.

If he, a master who was killed on the way, can not intervene, it is better not to intervene.

After the woman whipped for a while, she stopped.

Her chest heaved violently, and she didn't know whether it was from being angry or because she was beaten too hard.

Seeing that his mother stopped beating him, Chi Jiao looked at his mother, and he whispered without any grievances: "Mom, today is your birthday, you have always wanted to eat fried tofu in the downtown area, I will So I thought about buying it for my mother. Mom, look!"

Chi Jiao brought out the excellent fried tofu that was protected by him in his hand. There was still residual heat on the fried tofu. Feeling the appropriate temperature, Chi Jiao's eyes sparkled.

The woman's body was visibly stiff when she heard this, and the next moment tears flowed down the river as if a dam had been broken, and the stick in her hand fell to the ground unknowingly.

The woman didn't say anything, rushed to Chi Jiao, hugged Chi Jiao in her arms, and shouted: "Chi Jiao, my son!"

Chi Jiao also hugged his mother very hard, the smile on his face was so warm that it could almost melt people.

After embracing each other for a long time, both of them were already in tears, and the orphan and widow separated from each other.

Chi Jiao put the things in his hands on the table at one side, and he walked out of the room, walking straight towards Qin Lan.

He took Qin Lan's hand and walked back into the room.

As if he didn't know how to introduce Qin Lan as a master to his mother, Chi Jiao scratched his head cutely.

Qin Lan looked at Chi Jiao and sighed, nodded to Chi's mother, and introduced herself, "Hello, big sister, I'm Qin Lan."

It was only now that Mother Chi realized that there was an outsider standing at the door, her face was full of embarrassment, and she was at a loss when she thought of her previous actions.

She glanced at Qin Lan, looked away as if dodging her, and then replied hesitantly, "Hello, I'm Chi Jiao's mother."

Chi's mother was very flustered. After seeing Qin Lan, she became more at a loss. She was obviously puzzled, how could such an extraordinary young man like Qin Lan appear here.

Seeing this, Chi Jiao stepped forward and took his mother's hand. She stood in front of Chi's mother like a man standing up to the sky, which made Chi's mother's panic show less.

Chi Jiao glanced at Qin Lan, his eyes revealing the intention of seeking advice. Seeing that Qin Lan didn't express anything, he breathed a sigh of relief and introduced to his mother: "Mother, this is the master I recognized. Afternoon In downtown...”

Chi Jiao told his mother exactly what happened in the downtown area in the afternoon, the only discrepancies were the fighting scenes.

Of course, the fact that Qin Lan was able to fly into the sky was deliberately concealed by Chi Jiao under Qin Lan's instruction.

According to Chi Jiao, Qin Lan is a well-behaved, kind-hearted, and extremely outstanding kid from a rich family.

After listening to Chi Jiao's narration, Chi's mother stopped avoiding her expression and looked up at Qin Lan.

Her eyes were filled with enough vigilance, and she really didn't understand why the pie in the sky fell on Chi Jiao. Qin Lan accepted Chi Jiao as his apprentice, whether the purpose was pure or not.

Qin Lan had a panoramic view of Chi's mother's expression, stood up at the right time, and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't have to worry that I have ulterior motives in accepting Chi Jiao, I just see that Chi Jiao is not only obedient and sensible, but also smart and well-behaved. Many, and it is true that someone needs to help take care of it, so I have the idea of ​​​​carving him, don't worry, I have absolutely no bad intentions for Chi Jiao."

Hearing Qin Lan's explanation, Chi's mother withdrew her gaze, with a self-deprecating look on her face.

That's right, her family is poor and destitute, and her family is completely bare, so there is nothing Qin Lan should worry about.

Qin Lan's thought of plotting against Chi Jiao suddenly came to her before, which is really ridiculous.

After figuring this out, Chi's mother's attitude towards Qin Lan immediately changed 180 degrees.

She hurriedly welcomed Qin Lan into the room, and carefully made a cup of tea for Qin Lan.

After doing all this, the simple and honest Chi mother showed the enthusiasm that only poor people can have, and she insisted on Qin Lan staying for a light meal.

She hurried back to the kitchen and asked Chi Jiao to accompany Qin Lan in the small living room.

Life in Chi Jiao's family is simple, and Qin Lan didn't want to make trouble here, but he couldn't resist Chi's mother's kindness.

Not long after, Mother Chi brought out the dishes she had cooked.

Three dishes and one soup, two dishes and one meat dish, the only meat dish could not be called a meat dish if there were not some meat slices in it.

Qin Lan was even more moved. He knew that today was Chi's mother's birthday, and with him as a guest present, Chi's mother must have eaten what she thought was the most sumptuous meal.

It's not hard to imagine what Chi Jiao and Chi's mother usually eat.

No wonder she felt the sallow and emaciated complexion that can only be caused by malnutrition in Chi Jiao and Chi's mother.

Even so, Chi's mother still seemed to feel a little ashamed, telling Qin Lan that the home was simple.

Qin Lan, who was also born in a poor family, naturally didn't dislike everything in front of him. He took the bowl of rice handed to him by Chi's mother, and started to pick it up vigorously.

The appearance of eating well shows his respect for Chi's mother.

Under Qin Lan's deliberate maintenance of the meal, the host and guest enjoyed the meal.

After the meal, under Qin Lan's hosting, Chi's mother arrived late for her first birthday cake in decades, and made her only wish in the past decades.

Mother Chi blew out the candle, with tears of happiness streaming down her face.

Qin Lan reached out and rubbed the head of Chi Jiao who was standing beside him, nodded to Chi Jiao, turned around and walked out of the room.

Chi Jiao and Chi's mother will naturally explain the rest.

He has already made a call to Tang Ting. With Tang Ting's efficiency, someone will come to pick up Chi Mu and Chi Jiao early tomorrow morning.

Now that Chi Jiao has already worshiped Qin Lan as his teacher, Qinghe Village is obviously the best place for them to belong.

Qin Lan didn't pass on the "Tongtian Good Fortune Jue" to Chi Jiao. It's not that he didn't want to teach Chi Jiao the best, but it was because he didn't have the right to pass on the "Tong Tian Good Fortune Jue" at will.

However, the cultivation techniques he passed on to Chi Jiao are not bad, the inheritance of Jianfeng and the art of drawing the sword.

Qin Lan is not worried that Chi Jiao will not be able to pass on the inheritance of Jianfeng to the point of entering the room. After all, Chi Jiao's immortal aptitude is rare in the world, enough to rival Jian Qingge.

What's more, in Qin Lan's Qiankun ring, there is still a huge stone that is suspected to be the heart stone of Jianfeng to Baojian.

With that boulder, the practice of Jianfeng's inheritance will be relatively easier.

Qin Lan took a deep breath, because the heavy heart that Chi Jiao and Chi's mother lived in poverty has dissipated a lot, and meeting him can be regarded as fate, and Chi Jiao and Chi's mother will live enviable lives in the future.

But before Qin Lan walked out of the shanty town in Dongcheng, Chi Jiao, who was thin and sallow, chased him out of the alley all the way.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Qin Lan turned sideways and was obviously surprised to see Chi Jiao.

Chi Jiao ran straight to Qin Lan, looked at Qin Lan, and took out a small box wrapped in cloth from his arms, "Master, my mother said that I am lucky to be able to worship you as my teacher. Although our family is poor , but there should be etiquette, but there is nothing missing. I have kowtowed to the master, and now I am offering the teacher's apprentice ceremony! Mother said that the gift is simple, I hope the master will not dislike it."

After finishing those old-fashioned words that didn't seem like a child could say, Chi Jiao turned around and ran back into the alley.

Qin Lan felt depressed for a while, he glanced at the mysterious cloth-wrapped box that Chi Jiao handed him, and opened the box casually.

The next moment, Qin Lan's body froze.

His eyes widened as he stared at the contents of the box, his face was full of surprise, as if he didn't know what to say.
