Xiao Shitou woke up quickly and felt that his butt had been treated and applied with wound medicine. It was cool. He turned to look at Xue Poye who was sitting aside and said softly: "Thank you."
Xue Poye touched his nose and said with a smile: "You are very ambitious. You were beaten like this and you didn't say a word."
The green lady mixed the potion and came over, fed the little stone and drank two sips, then said softly: "You have to do less activity these two days and lie down obediently, otherwise your butt will not heal."
Xiao Shitou suppressed his blush and said anxiously: "Sister, you...you looked at my...my fart...butt...!" He looked very embarrassed.
Xue Poye laughed and said: "Little thing, you are so young that you can be shy. I didn't expect you."
Xiao Shitou struggled to sit up, but the green lady hurriedly supported him and said, "I said, you can't move around, otherwise the wound will not heal."
Little Shitou shook his head like a sentimental little adult and said: "My little master always has instructions. If I am not here, my little master will be angry." He struggled to sit up from the bed and touched the whiplash on his buttocks.
, grinned, but did not make a sound.
"You seem to like practicing kung fu very much?" Xue Poye thought of Xiao Shitou peeking at Princess Yi practicing kung fu in the forest, and couldn't help but ask: "Have you ever practiced it?"
Xiao Shitou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned around and asked Xue Poye: "Brother, are you teaching eldest sister kung fu at the school? Are you her master?"
Xue Poye seemed to become excited when he saw him, knowing that this child must be very interested in practicing martial arts.
"It's not like teaching kung fu." Xue Poye said with a smile: "It's just that the elder sister likes to practice her hands and feet, so she practices with her."
Xiao Shitou calls Princess Yi "big sister", but it seems that he doesn't know Princess Yi.
"Then... then you teach me!" Xiao Shitou held it in for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "You be my master, and I will worship you as my master!"
Xue Poye shook his head and said: "My ability is very poor. There are many experts in the world, but I can't accept you." What he said was really serious. Apart from archery, he really didn't have any skills in terms of force.
What can be used? As for the "Air Splitting Fist", in terms of martial arts, it can even be ignored.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shitou knelt down stubbornly, regardless of the pain in his buttocks, and kowtowed: "Master, just teach me Kung Fu? Xiao Shitou please."
Xue Poye hurriedly stopped him and sighed: "Little Shitou, I am telling the truth. My skills are very poor. I am afraid I have missed you."
Little Shitou said stubbornly: "No matter how capable you are, I will worship you as my teacher." After a pause, he said softly: "As long as I learn how you broke the big tree just now, my little master will not bully you in the future.
I won’t bully the horses anymore.”
Xue Poye said softly: "Although I don't know much, but since you are determined to learn, I think I don't have to insist on it anymore. As for the title of master, that's fine. You live next door to me. If
If you have free time, come here and I will teach you how to practice your physical fitness."
Although he doesn't have any amazing abilities, it's not a bad thing to let Xiao Shitou practice a strong and strong body since he was a child. Moreover, he does have a method of physical training. If he is interested, it wouldn't be a bad idea to explain archery.
If Xiao Shitou follows him, he will certainly not become a martial arts master, but he will definitely not achieve anything.
The key is that this child's kindness and perseverance made Xue Poye seem to see a trace of himself. He felt that this child was really similar to himself, and that was something deep in his heart.
Xiao Shitou didn't say much, endured the pain in his buttocks, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xue Poye three times, and said respectfully: "Master, I'm here to kowtow to you."
The little guy knows etiquette very well.
Xue Poye first came because he liked Xiao Shitou because of the similarities in his personality, and he also sympathized with him. In this way, the young child became a servant, and he sighed in his heart, so although he is not necessarily very capable, he still has a lot of sympathy.
Still happily accepted this poor child.
When you become a master, you naturally have to bring out the greeting gifts. Xue Poye touched his body. First he touched the small porcelain vase containing Huadielian, and then he touched the black jade carp that Tan Ziqing gave to him. There was nothing wrong with him.
As a gift, I finally touched a cool thing. I took it out and saw that it was a green stone given to me by the fairy fairy. It was engraved with landscapes and scenery, which was lifelike. It was an excellent gift. After thinking about it, I decided to give it to myself.
He handed over the green stone and said softly: "Little Shitou, since you have recognized me as your master, I will give this to you as a souvenir."
Little Shitou was stunned for a moment, took the green stone, looked at it carefully, showing joy, but still handed it back and said: "Master, I don't have a gift for you, I can only kowtow to you a few times, you
Disciple...disciple cannot accept the gift..."
Xue Poye pretended to be displeased and said: "Why, you are disobedient just after becoming a master. This is a meeting gift from master to you. If you really want to recognize me as your master, you must accept it."
When Jiwu saw Xue Poye being so affectionate towards the little stone, Lady Lu also had a good impression of the child. She actually went back to the room and brought a lot of pastries. They were all royal pastries. Princess Yi came here specially to show her filial piety.
, Xiao Shitou is a servant, and naturally he has not had the luck to taste it. After all, he is a child. When he saw the snacks, he was very happy and couldn't explain how much he ate them.
Xue Poye leaned against the window, looking at the gobbling little stone, and said warmly: "Shitou, you are so young, why are you following the little master? Who is the little master?"
Xiao Shitou's expression darkened, he glanced at Xue Poye, and then said softly: "The young master is the direct grandson of Prince Qian and the son of Prince Qian." Thanks to his young age, he actually figured this out.
Xue Poye frowned, looked out the window, and whispered, "Is Prince Qian here too?"
Little Shitou shook his head and said with some doubts himself: "No, Prince Qian didn't come here. Only the little master and I came last night. I slept deeply, and when I woke up today, we were here."
Xue Poye and Madam Lu ignored it and were a little confused. Why did the prince send his grandson to Liuheyuan alone? What was the reason?
Xue Poye naturally knew that Xiao Shitou couldn't know the reason. He laughed and said: "Prince Qian sent his grandson here and brought you with him. It seems that Prince Qian likes you quite a lot."
ah."
Little Shitou blinked his eyes and muttered: "Grandpa Qianwang is very good to me and often teaches me how to read. It's just my little master...!" He stopped talking and blasphemed his master in private. This is considered acceptable in the great Chu country.
It's a taboo thing.
Xue Poye chuckled and said: "That little fat guy is a bit arrogant, but once you learn how to knock down a big tree with one punch, he won't dare to bully you. By the way, were you sold to the palace as a slave by your parents? Do you know where your parents are now? Let me see if I can redeem you."
Little Shitou's eyes turned red, and he shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't know. I have always been with the little master. Grandpa Ganwang said that I am the little master's best friend. No matter what happens, I can't leave him." .”
The green lady patted Xiao Shitou's shoulder and said softly: "Prince Qian is planning to let you become his grandson's personal bodyguard."
A strange look flashed across Xiao Shitou's eyes, and his face showed a dignity that was inconsistent with his age. He said softly: "I will not have friends, and no one will treat me as a friend."
"Then you're not alone?" The green lady smiled softly and said: "Everyone needs friends, at least one close friend, so that your life in this world will not be wasted."
"Being alone!" Xue Poye touched his nose and sighed, "That's not a good thing."
From that day on, there was another little stone in Xue Poye's life. During the day, he supervised Princess Yi's training. At night, little stone could always sneak out and sit with Xue Poye by the pool, listening to him. He tells novel stories that have never happened before in his world of thought.
Xiao Shitou felt that in his master's mind, there were many things that were very far away from him.
The story the master told was very bizarre. He said that a long time ago, there were two wars in the world. At that time, there were many countries in the world, and even on the other side of the sea, there were many wild beasts with yellow and red hair.
In the country of yellow-haired beasts, there is a warlike and evil king of beasts. He leads the people who were deceived by him to start a war all over the world. They have weapons that Xiao Shitou has never heard of. They seem to be called airplanes and cannons.
Although the result was a cliched victory of justice over evil, the process was really exciting. The exciting and cruel battles one after another, and the barbaric massacres that were unscrupulous again and again, made Little Shitou fascinated.
The master even talked about some amazing lifestyles, and it was like a fairy life.
There are mechanical monsters that can walk, and weird machines that can let people fly in the sky. The master's mind is endless, and weird stories pour out of his mind one after another.
In addition to these stories, the master also began to teach Xiao Shitou some basic luck methods. Although this luck method is very simple and elementary, it seems that the master only has these simple methods. There is no choice but to do it late at night. Beside the pool, he was practicing the so-called inner strength method in a serious way.
However, for Xiao Shitou, this simple inner strength and mental method seems to be of some use. In the quiet night, although there are cool breezes, this Qi training method makes the whole body warm, not even a little bit cold.
Naturally, he didn't know that Xue Poye learned this luck method from Xiao Pan in his spare time. He just learned it and sold it now. Both the master and the apprentice were learning this very basic luck method at the same time.
For a martial artist, having smooth Qi throughout the body is the foundation for learning advanced martial arts, so these two guys are actually just the beginning of a difficult martial art.
Time passed day by day, and after seven or eight days in Liuheyuan, everything seemed extremely quiet, without any changes. Except that Xue Poye always felt like someone was staring at him from behind, his life was also very peaceful.
Princess Yi's strength has improved greatly in a short period of time, and she can lift a weight of twenty kilograms. For the wealthy Princess Yi, this is undoubtedly a miracle.
However, Xue Poye's request here is still too far. Xue Poye also knows that he cannot wait until the princess succeeds, so when he has time, he will always explain the archery skills alone, every time Not much was said at one time, just for Princess Yi to digest slowly.
That night, Xiao Shitou actually took out a booklet and handed it to Xue Poye, saying: "Master, look at what this is. Grandpa Qian Wang said that this is what my parents left for me when they sent me to the palace. Yes, please take good care of it." I have been getting along well with Xue Poye in the past few days, and I have received Xue Poye's attentive care. The sense of security that I have not had for a long time seems to have come to me. After all, I am too young, and it is easy for me to treat myself as such. The master regarded him as a close relative and handed over the booklet without any pretense.
This is a very thin book with nothing special about it. The cover just has the word "ecstasy" written on it. If you only read these two words, you would think it was a pornographic book.
"What is this?" Xue Poye flipped through the booklet. There were six thin pieces of paper inside, all blank without a single word or picture. He couldn't help but be curious.
"I don't know either." Xiao Shitou looked confused: "Grandpa Qianwang said it was a book left by my parents and asked me to keep it safe and not lose it, but there is nothing on it."
Xue Poye frowned. Since it was something left by Xiao Shitou's parents, could it be a booklet about his life experience? But why couldn't he see a single word or picture on it?
It was strange to think about it, but I suddenly recalled the routine I had seen on TV. I hurriedly took the little stone back to my house, fetched a plate of water, opened the booklet and a piece of paper was reflected in the water. I was looking forward to some miracle, but unfortunately half a day passed and everything was as usual. What was quite strange was that this piece of paper was not wet after being soaked in water. It was really weird. Looking at the composition, it was clearly ordinary rice paper. There is nothing special about it, but it does not get wet when soaked in water, which is obviously incomparable to ordinary paper.
Xue Poye knew that there must be something fishy about this, so he took the booklet and carefully baked it on the palace lantern for a long time, but still found nothing. He understood that ordinary methods could not get the result, so he had to hand the booklet to Xiao Shitou, shook his head and said: " Stone, Master, I'm ashamed. This thing is too mysterious and cannot be understood by Master. You'd better see if there is anyone who is destined to help you in the future. Maybe there is news about your parents in it. Uh, I mean there is. Possibly, but not necessarily."
Xiao Shitou was a little disappointed and depressed.
Xue Poye poured a cup of tea, sat at the table and asked, "Shitou, did your godfather Wang say anything about the booklet?"
Xiao Shitou shook his head, but nodded again and asked: "He said that even if the blood dries up, this book cannot be thrown away. Does this... does this count?"
Xue Poye sighed and said helplessly: "This doesn't count. I just ask you to protect the book. The small stones, no matter whether they are useful or not, are the things left by your parents after all. You have to keep them well and don't throw them away. .Hey, you...you said blood?"
"What?"
"Your godfather Wang can't throw away the book even if you bleed dry?" Xue Poye seemed to have thought of something and said a little excitedly.
Xiao Shitou nodded and said: "Yes, Grandpa Qianwang gave this book... By the way, Grandpa Qianwang said this is called the Book of Ecstasy. When he handed the book of ecstasy to me, he told me this."
"Blood...!" Xue Poye murmured, and after a while, he frowned and said, "Is this booklet dripping blood to display the words?"
"Drip of blood?" Xiao Shitou was stunned, his eyes as dark as stars glazed over.
Xue Poye leaned on the chair and thought for a while, and finally said: "How about we give it a try?"
Xiao Shitou nodded. He still believed in this master and asked: "Whose blood?"
Xue Poye smiled bitterly and said: "Whoever has more blood will use it."
"Then Master, you have a lot of blood!" Xiao Shitou said seriously.
Xue Poye rolled his eyes at him, but if he didn't need his own blood at this time, why should he donate blood from Xiaoshi? He closed the door and window and put the booklet on the table. Xue Poye pricked his finger and dripped blood on the booklet. .
The blood formed into a bead shape and rolled on the paper. It rolled away from the paper smoothly and scratched away. Not only did no calligraphy or painting appear on the paper, there was not even a trace of blood on it.
"This is the wordless heavenly book." Xue Poye sucked his fingers and said with certainty.
Little Shitou blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "Heavenly Book without Words?"
"Water and fire are not obvious. We even used blood. It's useless. In my opinion, your parents must just keep this as a souvenir. There are no calligraphy or paintings in this booklet itself." Xue Poye analyzed.
"But why did they leave a book as a souvenir instead of something else?" Xiao Shitou was puzzled.
"Uh!" Xue Poye thought for a while, and could only explain: "Maybe they want you to study hard, and then you can get the top score in the study, and let you write a distinguished stroke on it."
This explanation obviously did not satisfy Xiao Shitou, so the little guy said sadly: "Since you let me study, why did you send me to the palace as a slave? Since my parents can send me to the palace, maybe I am not an ordinary person. , I heard that ordinary people can't even enter the palace gate. And I'm so young, why did Grandpa Ganwang accept me? I didn't know how to do anything at that time." These are questions that have been buried deep in Xiao Shitou for a long time. , I have been unable to find a reasonable answer. At this time, the master was in front of me and couldn't help but ask.
Of course, these are not things that Xue Poye can explain. He can only shake his head and say: "Some things have no answers. The more you investigate, the more confused you become."
Xiao Shitou thought for a while and seemed to think that the master's words made sense, but after thinking about it again, it was all nonsense.
Looking at the booklet on the table, the paper was very flat and empty of calligraphy and painting. He gritted his teeth, grabbed the small needle, and inserted it into his thumb without hesitation. Then he pointed his finger towards the paper and squeezed hard. After squeezing, a few drops of blood rolled down and landed on the paper.
Xue Poye sighed, saying that this was a useless effort, but the moment the blood fell on the paper, something extremely strange happened.dd
