Leaping Dragon Flying to the Sky

Xiaodong was carrying a bag of fruits, as if he was holding a big secret. When walking, he would protect the bag with his hands, for fear that he would move too much and knock the fruits out of the bag.

He searched around, and just now an outer disciple at the door said that he saw Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Jiang going out together, but he didn't know where they went.There is a yard full of layers that can't be seen at a glance, and I don't know where the senior brother and the others have gone.

As soon as Mo Chen entered the gate of the courtyard, he saw the little junior brother was wrapped up tightly, looking around while moving around.

This mountain is as short as he is, so afraid of the cold, there is no other person to come, his nose is red from the cold when he catches his breath, as soon as he goes out of the house, he wants to wrap his face, ears, mouth and nose together, only showing his eyes outside.There are three layers inside and three layers outside. From a distance, it looks like a cotton ball moving slowly on the snow.

"Eldest senior brother!" Xiaodong saw him, waved from a distance, and ran to this side in a hurry.

He said he was running, but he was wearing too thick clothes, and it was frightening to watch him step by step.

Mo Chen reminded him loudly: "Be careful, don't fall."

Before the words were finished, Xiaodong slipped and lay down firmly forward.

Fortunately, I wear thick clothes in winter, and there is still snow on the ground, so the fall is not heavy.But it was too thick, and it was not easy to get up. Xiaodong struggled a few times but couldn't stand up. Mo Chen couldn't bear to watch him like that.

He quickened his pace and walked to the front, stretched out his hand to support the little junior brother, and helped him stand upright.

Xiaodong didn't hurt from the fall, but his whole body was covered with snow. There were fine flakes of snow on his front, arms, legs, and even his hair, which shows how real it was when he was slapped on the ground just now.

"Eldest brother, come here."

Xiaodong mysteriously dragged Mo Chen to the leeward corner of the wall, Mo Chen was still in a state of unrest because of Chu Er's death, seeing his younger brother being so cautious, his heart sank unavoidably.

Could it be that the little junior brother actually saw something?

As a result, Xiaodong stretched out his hand, and Bai Shengsheng held a honey-brown dried fruit in his palm: "Brother, try this."

Mo Chen felt relieved suddenly.

It was not what he thought.

There is no need to guess where this fruit came from, it must have been brought back by the master.

To say that Li Fulin usually doesn't have any other hobbies, but he is a bit greedy and likes to eat snacks.Every time I come back down the mountain, I don’t forget to collect some new and delicious food to bring back.

Mo Chen still remembered that when he was a child, he also ate pine nuts and persimmons given by his master.

Just as he was about to reach out to pick it up, he suddenly thought about what this hand touched just now, raised it slightly and put it down again.I came out in a hurry, and I didn't have time to wash my hands.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiaodong stretched out her hand and whispered, "Brother, try it, it's really sweet."

It is sweeter and more fragrant than the caramel cakes bought at the foot of the mountain.

Mo Chen lowered his head slightly, and ate the fruit with his junior brother's hand.

He couldn't just keep waiting with his hands raised.

Xiaodong didn't think there was anything wrong with this. When he was sick, his brothers and sisters also fed him and took medicine like this.

He looked at Mo Chen expectantly: "Brother, is it delicious?"

Mo Chen nodded to him with a smile.

The fruit is very sweet.

Mo Chen nodded to Xiaodong: "It's delicious."

Xiaodong smiled, eyes crooked, and held up the purse to show him: "Master gave it to me, let's share it."

If Mo Chen hadn't been worried, he really wanted to reach out and rub him.

"Okay, you are still hungry for these snacks when others are young? You can keep them for yourself."

As soon as the words came out, Mo Chen remembered.Isn't the master still hungry for snacks at a young age?Others don't know about this, but they can't hide it from their direct disciples.As for the junior brother, he has not been on the mountain for a long time, and when the time is long, he will definitely see it.

There are some things that everyone knows well, and family ugliness should not be publicized.

Unknowingly, Mo Chen's depressed and gloomy mood because of Xiu Er gradually became more relaxed.

"Brother, do you have something on your mind?"

Xiaodong could tell that the elder brother seemed not as happy as before.

When master Mingming showed them those strange weapons, the elder brother was also very happy, his eyes were full of smiles.How could everything change after going out for a while?Although there was still a smile on his face, Xiaodong could tell that he was different from before.

"Did something happen?"

"It's not a big deal." Mo Chen urged him: "Don't stay outside, and catch a cold when you come back."

Xiaodong had to listen to the senior brother, took two steps, then turned around and said, "Senior brother, if I can help you, just tell me."

Mo Chen nodded and said, "Okay."

The dried fruits are delicious, Xiaodong is not willing to eat them all at once, if he eats one a day, these fruits will be enough for him until the beginning of spring.It would be a pity if I finished eating all at once.

He washed the core of the fruit after eating it with tea, dried it and wrapped it up, maybe it can be planted.

but……

Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, then took out the wrapped fruit core again, raised his other hand and slowly groped along the collar, and slowly pulled the pendant around his neck out of the clothes along the knot.

In the past, he had been guessing what he was wearing, but his uncle only said that it was given by his mother. Although it was worthless, it had a different meaning.

Xiaodong only had this one thing left by his parents, which he always carefully wore next to his body, and he never took it off.Even without his uncle's repeated warnings, he would not let the pendant leave his body, let alone throw it away casually.

He has never met his biological parents. His uncle said that his father died before he was born, and his mother died of dystocia after giving birth to him.Xiaodong once wanted to know what kind of people they were and what they looked like.If they hadn't died and had been alive, what would they say when they saw him now?Will he praise him, or hate iron for not being steel?

There was a time when Xiaodong saw a parent holding a child's hand on the road, and couldn't help but stop and look.

But he only has this pendant.

However, he had also wondered what this pendant was.

Looking at it now, although the shape is different, but the size is heavy, his pendant also looks like a fruit core.

Xiaodong held one in each hand and compared it carefully.

Well, very similar.

The one on his body must have been worn for a long time, and it is extraordinarily round and smooth, with a layer of moist luster on it. At first glance, it doesn't look like wood, but jade.

Could it be that what his parents left him was a fruit stone?

Xiaodong scratched his head.

How could there be a core left?

Either he guessed wrong and it wasn't actually a fruit pit.

Xiaodong carefully stuffed the pendant back into his clothes, and put the fruit core back into the box.There are not many things in this box, except for the bamboo whistle given to him by Senior Brother Jiang, a sword ring given to him by Senior Sister, and the stone monkey carved for him by senior brother is solemnly placed in the middle of the box.
