For Yun Nie, this was the first time that he had been away from his master for such a long time and lived alone in this colorful and vast world.
It turns out that there are so many trivial details in life. He wants to go far away and doesn't want to live off his savings, so he tries to do some work to support himself while walking.
I met many people, saw many things, and encountered many dangers.
I saw many ordinary people living in the world. Some were cheerful and generous, some were petty, some became enemies and fought each other over a few words, and some fell in love at first sight.
Yun Nie also made a few friends he met by chance. Some people showed kindness to him, strangers on the street gave him freshly picked wild fruits, and an enthusiastic mother-in-law invited him to stay overnight.
There is nothing more flavorful than this in the world, sweet, sour, bitter and spicy, each with its own flavor.
Yun Nie realized that he seemed to be more mature than before. His appearance had not changed much and his personality was still dull, but some things had indeed changed during the journey day by day.
Growing up is just talk, no wonder my master was always worried about me.
But when I return to Yuehua Mountain, my master will probably be relieved.
That day Yun Nie took on a new job, which required him to help take care of a child and take him to a family at his next destination.
Yun Nie wanted to take it because it was on his way, but he was not sure if he could do it.
His previous jobs were to help carry dead objects or to suppress bandits.
Taking care of children...
Client: “But you seem really reliable!”
Yunnie: “I answered it.”
Become a mature and reliable man, starting now.
According to the client, because of some things, the child always felt that they were going to take him home and persecute him, but in fact, he was a precious young master, who would dare to persecute him?
Anyway, it’s good that it’s not a matter of child trafficking. After accepting the task, Yun Nie began to look for the escaped child. After finally finding the child, he discovered that things were not that simple.
The child's name was Jinbao. He was seven or eight years old, an age that even dogs disliked. In addition, he was quite resistant to returning to that home, and he was extremely uncooperative along the way.
It would have been fine if he had just escaped a few times, but he also always made demands that were deliberately difficult for others.
Either he wanted to eat extremely expensive pastries from a hundred miles away, or he complained that the bed Yun Nie made for him was not soft enough.
He can’t wash his hair or take a bath by himself, and yet he wants Yunnie to ride him on a horse.
Yun Nie: "Bear it, bear it, do it yourself, bear it."
Jinbao burst into tears: "You bad guy, you are not nice to me at all!"
Yun Nie: “…”
I was a little confused. Is it true that the sound of a baby crying is so scary? Can it be used as a lethal weapon?
But why couldn’t I make this sound when I was a child?
Yun Nie had no choice but to hang him on a tree to calm him down, and then he hid far away and waited for him to come back when he was tired of crying.
After a few times, Jinbao realized that crying was useless on Yunnie.
He stopped crying and started to act good. Then, after Yunnie trusted him, he took the opportunity to escape.
Yun Nie had just been ordered by him to go out and buy something, and it would take a while for him to come back.
"Hehehe, you idiot are so easy to fool. You have grown up for nothing."
How could he be like that? He is so smart!
Jinbao ran out the window with the small package on his back, and I jumped - huh? Why am I hanging in the air?
Jinbao looked up, down, and behind him in horror.
He didn't see anything, but he felt something grabbing the clothes on the back of his back, so that he was now in a suspended state.
Ghost, there is a ghost here!
Jin Bao opened his mouth and let out a burst of ear-piercing magic sound, but the passers-by seemed to be unable to see or hear it and did not react at all.
Jinbao started running desperately, his two short legs kicked out two hot wheels in the air...
When Yun Nie came back, he saw the exhausted Jin Bao jumping out of the window.
He immediately frowned and picked up Jinbao: "You want to run away, you are so bad, you clearly said you would not run away again. You lied to me, I will never believe you again."
Jinbao screamed, "A ghost just grabbed me!"
Yun Nie keenly sensed the surroundings, but there was nothing there. He pursed his lips and emphasized unhappily: "I will never trust you again!"
"I've been hanging by the window for so long, and you still don't believe me!"
Yun Nie asked passers-by, and they all said that they had just seen the child climbing through the window. Before? They hadn't noticed it at all.
Jinbao dropped two strings of golden beans with grievance.
Yun Nie was indifferent because Jin Bao loved to cry so much. He couldn't understand why such a small body could cry so many tears. The amount he cried in one go was basically equivalent to the amount he cried in twenty years.
And he was really noisy, chattering away all the time, almost making Yun Nie's ears calloused.
Why? I don’t understand. Are all children so scary?
Feeling extremely aggrieved, Jin Bao started to punch and kick Yun Nie.
He used to be quite afraid of this cold-looking young man. He was armed, fierce, and not someone he knew.
But now Jin Bao has understood Yun Nie. He is not as cold as he seems. He is just a little dull and easy to deceive. However, his personality is a little twisted. Once you find out that you have been deceived, you will never trust him again in this regard.
Jinbao felt that he would not kill himself because there was no murderous intent in his eyes.
Yun Nie told him with his own actions that he would not kill him, but he would not allow him to be beaten or scolded either. After all, he was just a commodity, not his relative or friend.
Yun Nie: Master said that we should be a good person who repays evil with evil. So, can we get the balance if we send someone to die?
In short, because Jinbao is relatively weak, Yunnie is also relatively weak.
Jinbao slapped him, and Yunnie slapped him back gently.
Jinbao kicked him and Yunnie kicked him back gently.
Jin Bao widened his eyes and looked at Yun Nie in disbelief: "What are you doing? You even bully children?"
Shouldn't an adult like him be tolerant of children's playfulness?
Yun Nie said: "Master said that you should protect yourself when you go out. I am protecting myself."
Jin Bao: “…”
Then we continue on our journey and camp outdoors tonight.
As a result, Jinbao fell ill that night. It was not known whether he was scared by the ghost or angry with Yun Nie.
He had a fever and curled up into a ball. His little face was sallow with a hint of red, and he looked extremely pitiful.
Yun Nie fed him some pills, but the kid's body couldn't bear it and he had two streams of nosebleeds.
Jin Bao groaned and said, "Hurry up and find a doctor for me. I want the best doctor..."
Yunnie said, "There is no doctor around."
Jin Bao asked weakly: "What should we do then?"
Yun Nie said: "Bear, I was sick when I was a child, and I got over it by bearing it."
Jin Bao was in despair. As he became more and more desperate, he suddenly remembered that Yun Nie said he had a master.
He firmly believed that this guy with some mental problems had neither a father nor a mother, otherwise he would not have grown up like this. It turned out that he had a master.
So Jin Bao said indignantly: "Is this how your master takes care of you?"
Yun Nie: “…No.”
He didn't meet a master when he was young, but he felt that if he had met one, the master would definitely treat him better.
Yun Nie thought about it and started to pull out the weeds nearby.
He picked up a few handfuls of worthless wild herbs and boiled a pot of unknown liquid that was dark green and black in color.
Jin Bao stepped back weakly, pitifully and helplessly: "Are you trying to poison me?"
Yun Nie held him down and forced the liquid into his mouth.
And he followed his master's example and comforted him gently: "Don't worry, you won't die. When I was injured before, I picked these grasses to eat."
Now he helps him cook it, which is so sweet and gentle.
After Jinbao fell asleep, Yunnie finally got a chance to rest.
He looked at the starry sky above his head, felt the wind in the mountains and forests, and tossed and turned.
Suddenly I missed my master very much.
It turns out that taking care of children is so hard and tiring.
It is far more torturous than killing a hundred monsters.
When Master is taking care of himself, does he also have the urge to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible?
No.
Yunnie is not Jinbao.
He's not as annoying as Jinbao.
Yun Nie encouraged himself and comforted himself.
The person who couldn't see was lying on his side in front of him, smiling at him with his cheek propped up. If Yun Nie just moved his arm forward a little more, he could roll into the arms of the person he had been thinking about day and night.
After Jinbao recovered from his illness, he continued on his journey.
They encountered a terrible monster on the road, and Yun Nie showed his cruel side in front of Jin Bao for the first time.
After the demonstration, he hurriedly remembered how his master did it. He shouldn't let Jinbao see this scene.
Instead of being scared, Jin Bao opened his mouth in shock: "Wow, you are so awesome!"
Yun Nie: "Average, not as good as Master."
Jin Bao: "Your master is more powerful than you?!"
Yunnie nodded proudly.
Jin Bao said, "Then I can't see him... Hey, you can be my master."
Yun Nie chose to refuse. Jin Bao was too scary and he didn't want to accept such a disciple.
And... and Yun Nie felt that he was still young, and he had to spend at least three hundred years alone with his master before accepting a disciple at his master's age.
Learn from Master!
But Jinbao did not give up. From that day on, his daily escapes, tantrums and making things difficult turned into pestering to become a disciple, flattering and trying to please.
Little kids are scary when they cry, and they are also scary when they cling to people.
Yun Nie had never experienced being flattered and acted like a spoiled child so enthusiastically in his life. Even someone like him who was a little slow to react could hardly bear it.
Yunnie thought for a moment and said, "If you want to go home, I won't accept you as my apprentice, but you can be half my teacher."
Jin Bao: "...Are you crazy?"
Yunnie asked sincerely, "Teach me how to act like a spoiled child."
A faint chuckle was heard in the air. Someone who couldn't be seen was sitting on a tree, watching the big and small torturing each other.
He has watched it all the way and is enjoying it very much.
Jin Bao was furious: "You are dreaming!"
Yun Nie: "How about this, we can help each other and not mention the master-disciple relationship."
Yun Nie taught him some martial arts and introductory techniques of cultivation, while Jin Bao taught Yun Nie how to use joy, anger, sorrow and happiness to achieve what he wanted.
Although they disliked each other when they first met, a bond gradually developed between them.
One day, they became sworn brothers for no apparent reason.
Finally, they arrived at their destination.
Jinbao really didn't want to go home.
Yun Nie assured him that he would stay in the city for half a month, and if his family bullied him, he would let Jin Bao come out to find him, and he would help him get revenge.
Finally, the two reluctantly parted.
"You are a disciple of the No. 1 sect in the world? Then remember, I, Jin Bao, will definitely go to the No. 1 sect to play with you in the future. You are not allowed to forget me!"
Yun Nie said: "Okay, if I have the chance, I will come to play with you."
Without Jinbao, Yunnie felt a little bored, but also relieved.
During this period of time, he finally experienced firsthand how difficult it is to raise a child, and it seemed that... he could understand some of his master's ideas.
Because I care about him from the bottom of my heart, I can't help but think about him.
Even if I could take him away from home and never come back, but... I would have to consider whether Jinbao would regret it when he grows up.
So this is the feeling.
Master, you and I have been together longer, our relationship is deeper, and you must be thinking further ahead.
Now I can understand this feeling, not only towards Jinbao, but also towards you.
Yun Nie stood by the river, looking at the flowing water silently.
He arrived at the right time, as it was a festival day, and the city was bustling with lights and decorations everywhere.
People believe that by placing a lotus lantern with prayer words written on it into the water, their best wishes will come true.
Yun Nie bought a river lantern and wrote his own small handwriting, which now looked quite decent: May Sang Yue live a long and peaceful life, happy and free from worries.
He bent down, squatted by the river, lit the lamp and put it down. He tilted his head and watched the lamp float away slowly along the river.
I don't know when and who put a lamp next to him. The lamp behind was chasing the lamp in front. Sometimes you were in front, sometimes I was in front, and the two lamps were entangled and drifted away into the distance.
A gust of wind suddenly blew, blowing past the wind chimes under the eaves and the lights on the river.
Yun Nie didn't see that the note on the lamp was blown upright by the wind, with a handsome line written on it: May Sang Yue and Yun Nie be together forever.
