Jiang Mubai's face flushed slightly. Second Senior Brother had taught him a lesson: it's hard to learn good things, but it takes only a few days to learn bad things. The next moment, he saw the corners of the eldest senior brother's mouth lift up, and then he quickly returned to his calm demeanor.
Did the eldest brother smile? How rare!
The next day's dinner was still very sumptuous because a lot of things were bought in the city at the foot of the mountain. Jiang Mubai wanted to go and call his master, but was stopped by his uncle.
"Don't worry about him. He'll come when he figures it out."
Jiang Mubai asked, "What if you can't figure it out?"
"I wonder why he is always hungry? He practices Taoism and thinks he is a god, saving people and traveling around the world." The uncle said this with great confidence, as if he really could calculate.
Jiang Mubai was somewhat curious about the past between his uncle and his master.
But looking at his second brother who was shaking his head and his eldest brother who was eating quietly, he couldn't help but ask.
Just one night passed, and Jiang Mubai had his first sound sleep in the past few days. When he got up early in the morning, he saw his master in the yard. His master turned his head, and his usually meticulous hair was a little messy, and the expression on his face was something Jiang Mubai had never seen before.
Was that horror and...relief?
The master stood in front of him, looked him up and down, opened his mouth but didn't say anything, just reached out and touched his head.
Everyone was present at breakfast that day, and the master uncle looked very proud.
The master would look up from time to time at the eldest brother, then at the second brother, and then at him.
After dinner, the master called his uncle, and the two went to his uncle's bedroom. Jiang Mubai faintly heard something about "the ancestor appearing". Most of the time, the conversation between the two was vague, and they didn't come out until noon.
Then the master went to the broken statue, sat cross-legged on the worn cushion, and stared blankly.
Uncle Master said that he was in a daze.
Jiang Mubai felt a little uncomfortable. After all, it was their Yuan Qi who caused the quarrel between the master and the uncle, which made the master unhappy. But when he wanted to apologize to the master, he was stopped by the eldest senior brother.
"Junior brother, Master said that he needs to be quiet recently and obey the arrangements of Uncle Master in everything."
Jiang Mubai looked at his senior brother in disbelief. If he didn't know that his senior brother was very serious, he would have suspected that he was his uncle in disguise.
But the eldest brother didn't say much, just respectfully stood in front of the uncle who was sitting with his legs crossed: "Uncle, I originally wanted to go to Zhangjia Village. Master said that you can make the decision."
The uncle was stunned, scratched his head, and muttered: "This old guy really got rid of it!"
The uncle finally agreed and asked the three of them to go together. Jiang Mubai was a little surprised. He couldn't help at all and didn't know why the uncle asked him to go.
"But Master is alone..."
"He has hands and feet, how can he starve to death?" The uncle was still arrogant. Seeing that the eldest brother had no objection, Jiang Mubai lowered his head.
When he was about to go out, he met another villager who came to ask for herbs. The eldest brother turned around to give it to him, but was stopped by his uncle.
He put one hand on his waist and spread out the other: "You can have herbs, but pay for it!"
Jiang Mubai looked at his eldest senior brother, and a look of surprise appeared on his calm face. However, his second senior brother, like himself, had already gotten used to it.
"Uncle Master, it's just some herbs, no need..."
