Tian Bolis paused, shook his head, said: "And your shi niang, once she heard Shui Yue had some problem, she immediately took Ling'Er to see her. It was like the sky was falling, really."
The disciples looked at each other, their faces were filled with joy. Xavion hesitated, then asked: "Master, how many days did shi niang stay at Shui Yue shishu's place?"
Tian Bolis glared at him, snappily said: "What how many days? She went today, returned tonight."
"Alas!" The disciples sighed, and all of them looked disappointed. Tian Bolis looked around, snorted, said to Xavion: "Today shi niang guided you in cultivation again?"
Before Xavion could speak, second disciple Wu Dayi already said: "Master, don't ask him. Da Shixiong ran away today, so shameless."
Xavion said angrily: "Nonsense, I was ordered by master to help Xiao Shidi..."
"Huu..." Everyone booed.
The meal lasted for half an hour. After everyone left, Shaw Danon wanted to stay and help Amandla wash the dishes, but Amandla smiled and said: "Xiao Shidi, thank you, but I can do the things here. You won the bet, don't worry, tomorrow I will help you chop the bamboo. "
Shaw Danon was embarrassed, wanted to say something, but Xavion's voice said: "Sixth, don't help him." Xavion came in from the door, said to Shaw Danon: "Xiao Shidi, come, I will take you to your room."
Shaw Danon nodded, but Amandla said: "Da Shixiong, what did you say?"
Xavion said: "Xiao Shidi has just entered, need to lay a good foundation, not the time to be lazy."
Du BiShu scratched his head and said, "That's true, how about this, little junior brother, this time I will owe you one, in the future if you need me to do anything for you, just say the word, okay?"
Shaw Danon said: "Sixth Shixiong, how about we just forget about it, anyways..."
Du BiShu's face turned solemn, with a strong sense of righteousness, he said, "What are you talking about, how can I be that kind of person who cannot distinguish right from wrong, who do not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, since I have promised you, naturally I will do it, if not I will become a laughing stock, and be ridiculed by the various senior brothers for nothing."
Shaw Danon nodded, but he still did not understand what this has to do with not distinguishing right from wrong, not distinguishing between loyalty and treachery.
Xavion held Shaw Danon's hand, said: "Xiao Shidi, come, I will take you to your new room."
When the two of them walked out of the kitchen, the sky had already darkened. A bright moon slowly rose and hung in the eastern sky. They walked past the entrance of the Hall of Quietude. Shaw Danon looked inside and saw all the lights were out. It was dark. Only the moonlight shined in front of the hall. It was quite eerie.
Xavion took him to the last room on the right side, said: "Xiao Shidi, the room you woke up in during the day is my room. The other Shidi live on the right side. The seven rooms on the left are empty." Pausing, he looked at Shaw Danon: "You live alone, are you afraid?"
Shaw Danon shook his head.
Xavion smiled: "That's right. We are men, how can we be afraid of loneliness! Come, let's go in. "Then he took Shaw Danon into the room.
Shaw Danon looked at this strange place that he will be with for a long time. A small yard, a pine tree on the left, five or six bamboo on the right, each as tall as two or three people. The yard was paved with small stone eggs. Both sides were lawns. The night wind blew, the leaves and bamboo swayed gently. The fragrance of grass came, very peaceful.
Xavion opened the door, lit the light, said: "Xiao Shidi, come in."
Shaw Danon walked into the room. The furnishings were as simple as Xavion's room. Tables, chairs, bed, nothing else.
Xavion said: "Today I have cleaned this place. You can stay here for now. Living in the mountain is hard. You are still young. Maybe you will feel lonely. But we are cultivators, we must endure all kinds of hardships. From now on, you will have to do everything by yourself. "
Shaw Danon said: "Got it, Da Shixiong."
Xavion nodded, looked around, said: "If there is nothing else, I will go back. You have been tired for a day. Go rest early. "
Shaw Danon answered. When he saw Da Shixiong to the door, he suddenly thought of something, said: "Da Shixiong, why is it just dark, none of the shixiongs come out for a walk?"
Xavion smiled and said, "You don't know, the least of us have been studying in this Big Bamboo Valley for decades, we rarely go out, this Big Bamboo Valley has long been familiar with it, that's why we are too lazy to go out, lao si loves to read, lao er loves to hum, the more diligent like lao san will practice in the house, usually do not come out."
Shaw Danon understood. Xavion smiled and patted his head, told him a few more words, then turned and left.
Shaw Danon returned to the house and closed the door. Suddenly, the whole world became quiet. There was no sound. He walked silently to the table and sat there for a while. Since he had nothing to do, he blew out the light, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed. He tossed and turned, and after an unknown amount of time, he fell asleep in a daze.
"Ah!"
In the darkness, Shaw Danon let out a low cry. He sat up, panting. Just now, he dreamt that he returned to Grasstemple Village, saw his father and mother, saw his children's playmates, as well as other uncles and aunts, all happy and harmonious. But suddenly, they all became corpses, blood flowed like a river, it was extremely terrifying. His whole body trembled. He woke up.
He sat on the bed for a while. His breathing calmed down. His eyes adapted to the darkness. He saw the window was slightly tilted. A beam of moonlight shone in. It sprinkled on the floor like snow.
Shaw Danon was not sleepy anymore. He got up and walked to the door. "Squeak." He opened the door and walked out.
The surroundings were silent, but there was the faint sound of insects coming from an unknown place. One sound, two sounds, low and low. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling down on his body.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. The moon was bright and clear.
"Don't know how is Jing Yu now. Is he also unable to sleep?" He murmured in a low voice and sighed. He was about to turn around and go back into his room when he suddenly felt his chest loosen. Something rolled out from his underwear and fell to the ground.
Shaw Danon was surprised. He bent down and picked it up. It was the dark purple bead. There was a small hole in the middle of the bead. It seemed like it was Pozhi who strung it on the jade bead. These days, he had already forgotten about it. Now he remembered that Pozhi told him to throw the bead away.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly felt bitter. His parents did not leave anything for him, PuZhi was not fated with him, but after one night of reunion, he was like a relative, and this ugly pearl was the only thing that PuZhi left for him.
Shaw Danon raised his hand and held the bead up to the moonlight. Under the moonlight, the color of the bead became lighter, turning into light purple. He could vaguely see a light green gas rotating inside. It was like it had a spirit and was about to break out. But every time he got close to the surface of the bead, a small word lit up and blocked him.
Shaw Danon looked at it for a while. He liked it a little bit. It was the only thing Pozhi left for him. He did not want to throw it away. After thinking for a while, he untied a red string from his neck. It was given to him by his parents to bless him with a long life and safety. Normal people would hang gold and silver locks. But his family was poor, so he could only use a red string instead.
Immediately he used a red string to tie the beads and hung them close to his chest. He did not feel cold, but he felt a bit warm. He smiled to himself, then looked at the moon in the sky. Then he went back to his room and went to sleep.
His first day in Jadeon ended like that.
