"You sleep a bit more, I'll get up first to boil some water.
What do you want to eat in the morning? "
As Lin Siyao's slightly hoarse voice reached her ears, Su Shuiche, who was about to pass by him, was already lying in his seat. Taking advantage of the situation, he stole a kiss from the corner of her lips and stood by the bed to put on his outer clothes.
"I'll get up too, it's not good for Xi Cui to see me lazing around in bed every day.
Besides, today is the last day, so it's better to finish early. "Su Shuiche pulled on Lin Siyao's clothes and said with a bit of embarrassment.
"Is that okay?"
Lin Siyao dressed neatly and helped her up so she could lean against the head of the bed. He turned around and took out a set of old green clothes from the closet. In her words, wearing old clothes while embroidering was more comfortable and convenient.
Su Shuiche couldn't resist his insistence on helping her put on her clothes. Her ears and neck were red as she let him help her put on her clothes and tie up her hair.
Seeing that he didn't have the slightest bit of awkwardness when doing what a woman should do, she couldn't help but smile and feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction in her heart.
This kind of him, where was the coldness from when she first met him? He was clearly a good husband who loved her dearly.
Perhaps Aunt Tian and Aunt Lao were right. He really was a good man that was hard to come by.
"Done."
Lin Siyao completed the last action. He inserted the white jade hairpin that he had exchanged for with the jasper ring and put on the white jade earring. When he turned around and saw that she was smiling and daydreaming, he couldn't help pinching the tip of her delicate nose and asked in amusement, "What are you thinking about?"
"Ya!
Is it done?
No ….. Nothing! "
Su Shuiyao instantly came back to her senses. She shyly stroked her hair that was tied up in a bun behind her head and softly said, "Thank you." Then, she held her burning cheeks and ran to the kitchen to wash up.
Lin Siyao shook his head with a smile. Although he didn't understand what she was embarrassed about, looking at her appearance, it must have something to do with him.
Perhaps she thought of the passionate intertwining scene last night.
Lin Siyao's eyes darkened. He suppressed the strong desire to drag her to bed again. He quickly tidied up the bedroom and jumped to the river to wash up.
…
"Master, Master!"
When Su Shuiche and Xi Cui entered the embroidery room to catch up on the last day of work, Lin Siyao had just cleaned up the dishes and hung up the clothes. He squatted in the open space in the backyard to deal with the pile of dead and injured wild animals. Tian Dabao pulled the young man aside.
A hoarse voice knocked on the courtyard door.
"Master, Big Brother Lin, please accept me.
I'll definitely learn martial arts well. I'm not afraid of hardships or tiredness. I'll definitely learn as well as you.
Just take me in. "
When Tian Dabao saw Lin Siyao open the door, he knelt in front of the courtyard door and refused to get up. He wouldn't stop until Lin Siyao agreed to his request.
Lin Siyao stared at him for a while and then ignored him. He returned to the wild animals and continued to work on the task at hand.
When Tian Dabao saw this, his heart sank. He thought that the apprenticeship scene in the theater was completely fake and impractical. He knelt for a long time, but Big Brother Lin didn't say anything. How could it be like in the play where Master immediately nodded and agreed?
It was fake. It was obviously a play to deceive a child.
Thinking like this, Tian Dabao felt wronged. Although he was still kneeling, from time to time he raised his eyes to steal glances at Lin Siyao, who was not far away from him. In the end, he still had the temperament of a child.
"Dabao, Dabao, why are you kneeling here?"
In the distance, Aunt Tian and Tian Dafu ran along the village road. When they reached the courtyard door, they saw Lin Siyao silently tidying up the wild animals in the courtyard. Aunt Tian was a bit depressed. She thought he was a good man who loved his wife, but he actually made her precious son kneel in front of the door for more than an hour. If Mrs. Fang hadn't tipped her off, how long would he have to kneel?
What big mistake did he make to deserve this punishment?
Aunt Tian was anxious and wanted to impulsively go in and question Lin Siyao.
Although Tian Dafu had received Lin Siyao's wood, he couldn't help but feel angry when he saw this scene. He planned to follow his wife and go in to make a scene.
"Aiya, Mother, I'm here to formally accept a master. What are you and Father doing here?
Go, go! "
Tian Dabao saw Aunt Tian rolling up her sleeves and looking for a fight, so he hurriedly pulled her clothes and said impatiently.
"What?
What do you mean by formally accepting a master? "
Aunt Tian and Tian Dafu were both surprised when they heard this. "Dabao, tell Mother clearly, what do you mean by formally accepting a master?"
Aunt Tian pulled her son to get up from the ground, but Tian Dabao refused to get up no matter what. The two people pulled back and forth until their faces turned red.
Until Aunt Tian tore her son's collar.
"Good, you damn brat, you want to go against your mother?
Go back, go back home now.
What do you mean by formally accepting a master? "Aunt Tian roared in exasperation.
"Listen to what your son has to say first."
Tian Dafu was a little surprised that his son, who only knew how to play all day long, was so persistent in wanting to do something.
He stole a glance at Lin Siyao who was still expressionlessly peeling the fox and rabbit skins in the courtyard, as well as the two big dogs lying at his feet, who were closing their eyes to catch up on sleep. He seemed to have a clue.
Thus, he stopped his wife from continuing to be unreasonable.
"Father, I want to formally acknowledge Big Brother Lin as my master." Tian Dabao said while kneeling. It was not a plea, but a statement.
"Why?" Tian Dafu didn't understand and blurted out.
"I want to learn Big Brother Lin's martial arts.
When I grow up, I also want to be like Big Brother Lin. I want to go hunting in the forest and go to the city to sell fur for money. This way, Father and Mother won't have to work so hard. "Moreover, he could also marry a beautiful girl like a fairy.
However, Tian Dabao didn't dare to say this sentence so openly. It was better to keep it in his heart and slowly laugh.
Humph, let's see if Gouzi and the others won't be jealous of me in the future.
Tian Dafu and Aunt Tian were shocked when they heard this.
Especially Aunt Tian, who hugged Tian Dabao's body. "Good son, good son. Mother has wronged you."
Aunt Tian shyly reflected on herself, and then pulled Tian Dafu's sleeve, indicating that he should go in and talk, so that his son wouldn't continue to kneel.
In his heart, he didn't oppose Dabao's desire to become a disciple of Lin Siyao.
Of course, this was not because Da Bao had said that he wanted to be filial to his parents. Instead, he hoped that Da Bao could use this opportunity to learn martial arts. Firstly, he could stop Da Bao from running around like a wild monkey all day long. Secondly, he secretly hoped that if Da Bao really mastered martial arts like Lin Siyao, he might be able to cure the blood clot on the back of his head that was pressing on his nerves.
Tian Dafu had seen Lin Siyao's qinggong. With a leap, he could fly dozens of feet or hundreds of feet away.
It was said that he could make a round trip to the city in the time it took for a stick of incense to burn.
Although he didn't understand why such a top expert would be willing to live in a remote and nameless town like Blossom Town, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers, beautiful and quiet.
Perhaps an expert always liked to be a maverick.
"What are you doing?
Why aren't you going in? Do you really want our son to kneel for the whole day? "Aunt Tian saw Tian Dafu standing at the door with a frown, but he didn't go in. She anxiously pushed him.
"Cough cough …" Tian Dafu helplessly entered the courtyard and cleared his throat. "That … big brother …"
Lin Siyao didn't wait for him to continue. He had already peeled off all the fur in his hands. He stood up and put the pile of bloody fur into a large wooden basin. He planned to rinse it in the river later. Then he went to the water tank and scooped a few scoops of water to wash his hands.
After this series of actions, whether it was Tian Dafu, Aunt Tian at the door, or Tian Dabao who was kneeling, all of their eyes followed Lin Siyao's movements until Lin Siyao wiped his hands dry and wiped the blood stains on his cuffs.
"That … big brother … Dabao, he …" Tian Dafu rubbed his hands, not knowing what to say.
It wasn't like Lin Siyao didn't hear the conversation at the door. If he really wanted to accept Dabao as his disciple, why didn't he say anything?
Since the other party didn't intend to accept a disciple, what was the use of him forcibly coming in to persuade him?
Thinking like this, Tian Dafu didn't continue to say anything. He just rubbed his hands and looked at Lin Siyao with some helplessness. Then he looked back at Tian Dabao.
He sighed in his heart.
Lin Siyao walked to the door of the courtyard and said indifferently to Tian Dabao, who was kneeling with his head held high, "Once you start, you can't give up just because you want to."
Tian Dabao blinked and finally understood Lin Siyao's words. He nodded happily. "I won't give up, I won't give up. I won't give up even if I die.
Master!
Master, please accept this disciple's bow! "
Tian Dabao excitedly recalled the scene where he went to the city to watch a drama at the beginning of the year. He was about to kowtow to Lin Siyao as he spoke.
Lin Siyao waved his sleeve and stopped Dabao from kowtowing. He used his qi to wave him up. "In the future, don't kneel at the slightest provocation."
"I know, Master!"
Tian Dabao happily stood up straight and subconsciously rubbed his knee that was already numb from the pain. He repeatedly responded.
Aunt Tian looked at him and felt uncomfortable.
Not to mention that her precious son had never suffered this kind of hardship at home, he had never been so obedient and obedient.
Alas, it really was like the old saying that a grown son couldn't be controlled by his mother.
But, Dabao's mind was only nine years old. Could he really endure the hardships of practicing martial arts?
Although she was illiterate, she still knew that practicing martial arts had to endure hardships.
Looking at those street performers, which one of them didn't grit their teeth and endure?
Dabao … could he do it?
"Okay, go back today. Come back when your knee is better."
Lin Siyao said as he turned around and walked to the pile of wild animals without fur. He casually picked up a wild rabbit and threw it to Tian Dafu who was still in a daze. He said, "I won't see you off." Then he picked up the big wooden basin and walked through the kitchen toward the river port.
The two wolf pups opened their drooping eyelids and swept their eyes over the wild rabbit in Tian Dafu's hand. Their eyes lit up, but then they remembered Lin Siyao's silent threat. They could only obediently close their eyelids and continue to sleep under the autumn afternoon sun.
"This … Dad, is this for us?" Aunt Tian pointed at the fat wild rabbit in Tian Dafu's hand and asked happily.
"It should be."
Tian Dafu scratched his head and walked out of the courtyard with the wild rabbit. He seemed to be talking to himself. "Maybe it's for Dabao to meet his master."
"What?
Meet his master?
Then do we have to pay the tuition? "Aunt Tian thought of this and asked Tian Dafu worriedly.
Tian Dafu heard this and swept a glance at Tian Dabao, who was walking beside him and smiling foolishly. He then instructed his wife, "Tomorrow, accompany Dabao and pay the tuition according to the school rules."
Aunt Tian could only nod her head, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for her son.
Although she only had one son and he was mentally impaired, she still couldn't bear to take out a few dozen copper coins.
