Chapter 62: Pit the Master, Brother Xiaojing is a Professional
Although she didn't know why her second brother suddenly became interested in calligraphy, Baoya was very happy for him when she saw Yun Chenglu's serious look.
Before, the eldest brother always said that the second brother didn’t know how to make progress, but now the second brother finally knows how to make progress!
Jing Zhen saw Yun Chenglu carrying a small bag and holding a large river clam in his arms, and frowned: "Baoya?"
"Hmm?" Xiao Baoya tilted her head and asked in the same questioning tone, "Brother Xiao Jing?"
"Why bring the clam back?" Jing Zhen pointed at the big clam in Yun Chenglu's arms.
"Because I want to teach you how to plant seeds in river clams," Baoya said. "I've already learned it from my big brother. He's really good, he seems to know everything!"
Nan Xuan also came over and said with a smile: "Is he as good as me?"
Baoya blinked, stared at him seriously for a while, and shook her head.
Nan Xuan smiled so hard that his peach blossom eyes narrowed into slits.
But then Baoya said seriously, "I don't know, but Big Brother knows a lot of things. He even taught me to read the Classic of Mountains and Seas and told me stories about Hun Dun. I think he's better in these areas."
Nan Xuan:......
Isn’t his lightness skill, his ability to pick leaves and fly flowers, more impressive than this little girl’s brother’s shabby story?
What kind of logic does this little kid have!
Seeing his frustrated expression, Jingzhen's mouth twitched.
This self-righteous master finally hits a snag! Happy!
Nan Xuan caught a glimpse of this and mercilessly bent his finger, giving him a slap on the head: "You little heartless boy, don't laugh at your master!"
Unexpectedly, Baoya actually blocked Jingzhen's way with her little hand: "Don't bully little brother Jing! He's obviously not smiling!"
Nan Xuan was speechless again.
He pinched the little tuft on Baoya's head and said, "What do you know, little girl? Your brother Xiaojing doesn't have any smile muscles. He has a coffin-like face all year round. It's so boring!"
"Really? Let me see?" Baoya heard it, took Jingzhen's hand, stood on tiptoe, and stared at him.
Jing Zhen's cheeks burned from her stare, and he said helplessly, "Bao Ya, don't listen to my master's nonsense."
"Then smile for me?" Baoya blinked her big eyes like grapes.
Jingzhen: ...
This silly little girl is serious.
However, he still tried hard to force a very stiff smile, just like the one in the painting.
Nan Xuan laughed like crazy: "Silly disciple, you'd better stop laughing. You almost sent me away with your smile!"
Jingzhen glared at Nanxuan.
He had wanted to send this old pervert away for a long time!
After a few people had some fun, Baoya finally remembered the serious business.
She turned to Nan Xuan and said, "Master of Xiaojing, can my second brother and I still come to your house to play? I want to teach Xiaojing how to plant seeds in river clams and how to write for him."
Nan Xuan raised an eyebrow: "What did you call me?"
"Brother Xiaojing's master." Baoya said, "I don't know your name yet, otherwise what should I call you?"
Nan Xuan's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Is that so? Then let me tell you. My surname is actually Shifu, so you can just call me Shifu."
Jingzhen: ...
This shameless old man finally revealed his true colors and started to seduce the little girl.
Yun Chenglu: ...
This guy seems a little bit indecent.
Baoya was still young after all, and didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Your name is so strange," she licked her little finger. "Does your family not love you? Why did they give you such a name?"
Nan Xuan:......
"Isn't this a good name? It would be such an advantage if others called it that."
"But you'll get beaten, right?" Baoya said seriously, "You've been chased and beaten a lot since you were a child, haven't you?"
Nan Xuan's face gradually turned the color of the bottom of a pot.
Of course, even if his name really was that, no one in the entire Great Kang Kingdom would dare to beat him.
"puff……"
Yun Chenglu really couldn't help laughing. Glancing at Nan Xuan's increasingly dark face, he quickly turned around and covered his mouth tightly.
Jingzhen almost laughed out loud. He walked over helplessly and exposed Nanxuan's lie.
"Baoya, he lied to you. His real name is Nanxuan, not Shifu."
"Oh," Baoya nodded and turned to Nanxuan, "Then why did you lie to me?"
Ah this... Nan Xuan's face was embarrassed.
"Because he wants to take you as his apprentice, but he's afraid you won't agree." Jing Zhen said frankly.
"Cough cough..." Nan Xuan coughed twice in embarrassment.
His silly disciple was trying to trick him. If he was rejected by this little girl, he would be disgraced!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Baoya frowned and thought for a while before saying, "It's not impossible. If you can help me find the tiger and the turtle, I will agree to it!"
"Tigers and giant turtles?" Nan Xuan frowned. "What do you want these for?"
"To treat my mother's leg disease, Grandpa Sun said that we need tiger bones soaked in wine and turtle shells." Baoya said.
What a filial child! Nan Xuan narrowed his eyes and became more satisfied with Baoya.
"Okay, I can get the tiger, but as for the big turtle..."
"My father raised a big turtle that can be used to treat your mother's illness." Jing Zhen suddenly said.
"Really?" Baoya's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Brother Xiaojing! Next time you come, I'll bring you some money!"
"Silver is not necessary." He had plenty of silver at home. Jing Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'd better bring tofu. Your tofu is quite delicious."
"Okay, the most common thing in my house is tofu. I make it every day. I'll bring you freshly made tofu tomorrow!"
After talking for a long time, Nan Xuan took them back to the small bamboo house deep in the peach forest. After all, there was no place to stay in the secret cave, so it was just for Jingzhen to practice martial arts.
Baoya had been here once and no longer found the secret cave strange, but Yun Chenglu was still particularly surprised when he came here for the first time.
They had already walked a long way out of the secret cave, but Yun Chenglu was still stunned. "Why is that banyan tree so huge? The leaves on the outside have all fallen off, so why are the trees inside still so lush and green? And why is there a spiritual spring pool inside?"
"Second brother, why do you have so many whys?" Baoya was led by Yun Chenglu and looked up at him and asked.
Yun Chenglu continued to ask a series of whys while replying to her.
The brother and sister talked as they walked, and Nanxuan and Jingzhen followed behind them.
"You little brat, you can't be serious?" Nan Xuan asked Jing Zhen.
Jing Zhen turned his head and glanced at him, his face expressionless: "It was you who said you wanted to take her as your apprentice, I'm helping you."
"You are a traitor to your master..."
Nan Xuan took a deep breath and said, "That's the longevity turtle your father raised in Taiqing Pond! If I just catch him and kill him, I'm afraid he'll send someone to kill me."
"You're such a martial arts expert, are you afraid of those useless people who eat the government food?" Jing Zhen raised his eyebrows coldly. "You've been displeased with him for a long time, haven't you? That Wanshou Turtle is so precious to him. Don't you want to catch it and kill it to vent your anger?"
Nan Xuan:......
He must have so much free time that he caught a turtle to vent his anger.
