Madam Yu glanced at Jiang Cheng and said, "Are you playing crazy again? Come and show me."
Jiang Cheng approached her, Madam Yu pinched his arm with her slender fingers, and slapped him on the shoulder, teaching: "I haven't made any progress in my cultivation, I'm almost seventeen years old, and I still look like an ignorant child. , I only know how to mess around with people all day long. Are you the same as others? Others will slap in the ditch in the future, and you will be the head of the Jiang family in the future!"
Jiang Cheng was shaken by her shot, and he lowered his head and did not dare to defend. Wei Wuxian knew that, needless to say, this was scolding himself openly and secretly again. At the side, there was a junior brother quietly sticking out his tongue at him, Wei Wuxian raised an eyebrow at him. Madam Yu said, "Wei Ying, what are you doing?"
Wei Wuxian stood up as usual, and Madam Yu scolded, "It's like this again! If you don't seek to improve yourself, don't drag Jiang Cheng to fool around with you and ruin him."
Wei WuXian said in surprise, "Am I not seeking to be motivated? Isn't I the most motivated person in Lotus Pier?"
Young people can't bear xing high, they just want to refute a few words. Upon hearing this, Madam Yu's brows showed a sullen look, Jiang Cheng said, "Wei Wuxian, shut up!"
He turned to Madam Yu and said, "It's not that we want to nest in the lotus dock to shed kites, but now no one can go out? The Wen family has designated all night hunting areas as their territory, even if I want to go out for night hunting, There is nowhere to start either. Staying at home and not going out to cause trouble, fighting with the Wen family for prey, isn't that what you and your father did on your behalf?"
Madam Yu sneered: "I'm afraid this time you don't want to go out, so you have to go out."
Jiang Cheng was puzzled, and Madam Yu ignored them and walked through the corridor with her head held high. The two maids behind him glared fiercely at Wei Wuxian and followed their master away.
In the evening, they learned what it means to "go out if you don't want to go out".
The Qishan Wen Sect, citing that other aristocratic families have no way to teach and waste their talents, requires each family to send at least ten family children to Qishan within three days, and they will send a special person to teach them in person.
Jiang Cheng was stunned and said, "Can someone from the Wen family really say something like this? How shameless!"
Wei WuXian said, "I think I'm the sun in the sky as the leader of a hundred families. It's not the first time the Wen family is shameless. Relying on the general situation of the family, other families were not allowed to hunt at night last year. How much space does it take up?"
Jiang Fengmian sat in the chief and said, "Be careful. Have a meal."
There were only five people in the hall, sitting separately. In front of each person was a small square table with several plates of food on the table. Wei Wuxian lowered his head and moved his chopsticks, when someone suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes. Turning his face, he saw Jiang Yanli handed over a small plate. In the plate were several peeled lotus seeds, plump and white, fresh and plump.
Wei Wuxian whispered, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Jiang Yanli smiled slightly, and that very pale face instantly became a little more vivid. Yu Ziyuan said coldly, "What kind of meal do you want to eat? When you arrive at Qishan in a few days, you don't know if there is any food for them to eat. Why don't you start getting more hungry now and get used to it!"
This request made by the Qishan Wen Sect cannot be refused. Numerous precedents testify that if any family dares to disobey their orders, they will be charged with strange charges such as "rebellion of the immortals", "harm to a hundred families", and so on. annihilated.
Jiang Fengmian said in a low voice, "Why do you have to be so anxious. No matter what happens in the future, you still have to eat today's meal."
Madam Yu endured and patted the table and said, "I'm anxious? I'm right to be anxious! How can you still look so lukewarm? You didn't hear what the people sent by the Wen family said. Even a slave from the Wen family dares to be arrogant in front of me! The ten children sent must also have children from the family, what does this mean? Ah Cheng and A Li, there must be at least one in it! Send it over Gān what? Indoctrination? How do other people teach their own children, and it is their turn to have their surnamed Wen as a hand?! This is sending people over to deal with them and make them hostages!"
Jiang Cheng said, "Niang, don't be angry, I'll just go."
Madam Yu reprimanded: "Of course you are going, why don't you let your sister go? Seeing her like that, she is still happily peeling lotus seeds. Ah Li, stop peeling, who are you peeling for? You are the master, Not someone else's servant!"
Hearing the word "domestic servant", Wei Wuxian didn't care, he ate all the lotus seeds in the plate in one go, and was chewing, until his mouth was full of cool sweetness. Jiang Fengmian raised his head slightly and said, "Sanniang."
Mrs. Yu said, "Did I say something wrong? A servant? Don't want to hear this word? Jiang Fengmian, let me ask you, this time, do you plan to let him go?"
Jiang Fengmian said, "Look at him, go if you want."
Wei Wuxian raised his hand and said, "I'm going."
Madam Yu sneered and said, "It's really good. You can go if you want, but you can't go if you want to. Why does Acheng have to go? Raise a son for others, and cultivate it like this, Sect Master Jiang, you are really a big man. nice guy!"
She was angry, and she just wanted to vent this anger, which was completely unreasonable. The rest quietly let her spread the fire. Jiang Fengmian said, "San Niangzi, you are tired. Go back and rest."
Jiang Cheng sat on the spot, looked up at her, and said, "Auntie."
Madam Yu stood up and sneered: "What do you call me gān? Just like your father, let me say a few words less? You are a fool, I told you long ago, you are no match for sitting next to you in your life. That one. The cultivation base can't be compared, the night hunter can't compare, even a kite can't compare! There's no way, who makes your mother inferior to other people's mothers? You can't compare, but you can't compare. Your mother is unfair to you, tell you How many times don't you fool around with him! You still talk to him. How did I give birth to a son like you!"
She walked out and left Jiang Cheng to sit in the same place, her face turning black and white. Jiang Yanli quietly put a plate of peeled lotus seeds next to his food table.
After sitting for a while, Jiang Fengmian said, "I will count another eight people tonight, and you will all set off together tomorrow."
Jiang Cheng nodded, hesitantly not knowing what to say, he never knew how to communicate with his father. Wei Wuxian finished the soup and said, "Uncle Jiang, don't you have anything for us?"
Jiang Fengmian smiled slightly and said, "I have already given you what I want to give you. The sword is by your side, and the training is in your heart."
Wei WuXian said, "Oh! 'I know it's impossible to do it', right?"
Jiang Cheng immediately warned: "This doesn't mean that you know you're going to cause trouble, but you insist on doing it!"
The atmosphere in the room became lively.
The next day, before leaving, Jiang Fengmian took over the necessary matters, and only said one more sentence, "The children of Yunmeng Jiang's sect are not so fragile that they can't stand a little outside wind."
Jiang Yanli sent them section after section, stuffing everyone's arms with various kinds of grains to eat, really worried that they would not be able to eat enough in Qishan. Ten teenagers dragged a heavy load of food, set off from Lotus Pier, and arrived at the designated place in Qishan before the date set by the Wen Sect.
There were quite a few children of noble families from various families, large and small, all of them were of the junior generation. Among the hundreds of people, many of them were acquaintances or familiar faces. Three or five formed a group, chatting in a low voice, and their expressions were not very good. It seemed that they were all summoned in an unceremonious way.
After sweeping around, Wei WuXian said, "Sure enough, there is someone from Gusu."
More than a dozen people from the Gusu Lan Clan also came. For some reason, they were all haggard. Lan WangJi's face was particularly pale, but he was still that cold-hearted god who refused to leave people thousands of miles away, with the Sword of Bichen on his back, standing alone, surrounded by deserted surroundings.
Wei Wuxian wanted to go up to greet him, but Jiang Cheng warned him, "Don't cause trouble!" He had to give up.
Suddenly, someone in front of them loudly issued an order, ordering the children of all families to form an array.
This person is not much older than them, he looks like a 10* year old, arrogant, and his appearance is barely comparable to "Jun". But like his hair, it felt greasy and not very clear. This person is the youngest son of the Qishan Wen family, Wen Chao.
Wen Chao likes to show his face, and on many occasions he has to show off in front of other houses. Therefore, his appearance is not unfamiliar to everyone. There were two people standing behind him. On the left is a graceful and bright girl with big eyes and bright red lips. The fly in the ointment is that there is a black mole on the top of the mouth, which is too wrong to be born, and always teaches people to dig it out. On the right is a cold man who looks about thirty years old, tall and broad-shouldered.
Wen Chao stood on the high ground on the slope and looked down at the crowd. He seemed to be very fluttering, and waved: "Bring up your swords!"
The crowd stirred. Some people protested: "The sword of the person who cultivates self-cultivation does not leave the body, why do you want us to use the jiāo fairy sword?"
Wen Chao said, "Who spoke just now? Whose family? Stand up for yourself!"
The person who spoke up just now did not dare to speak.
The field gradually quieted down, and Wen Chao was satisfied, saying, "It's because there are still children of aristocratic families like you who don't know etiquette, obedience, and respect, and their roots are broken, so I'm determined to educate you. You are so ignorant and fearless now, if you don't give you a righteous atmosphere as soon as possible, in the future, no one will try to challenge the authority and climb the head of the Wen family!"
He knew that Suojian had no good intentions, but now the Qishan Wen clan is in full swing, and every family is walking on thin ice, and they dare not resist a little bit, for fear that if he is dissatisfied, they will be charged with some kind of crime and affect the whole family, so they have to swallow their anger.
Jiang Cheng held Wei Wuxian down, Wei Wuxian whispered, "Why are you pressing me?"
Jiang Cheng snorted, "I'm afraid you'll mess up."
Wei WuXian said, "You think too much. Although this person is greasy and disgusting, even if I want to beat him, I won't choose this time to cause trouble for our family. Don't worry."
Jiang Cheng said, "You want to put a sack on him again? I'm afraid it won't work, have you seen the man next to Wen Chao?"
Wei WuXian said, "I see. The cultivation base is high, but the appearance is not well maintained. It seems that he is a late bloomer."
Jiang Cheng said, "That person is called Wen Zhuliu. He is nicknamed 'Pill Huashou'. He is Wen Chao's attendant, and he specially protects him. Don't mess with him."
Wei WuXian asked, "'Pill Transformation Hand'?"
Jiang Cheng said, "That's right. His palms are terrifying, he can..."
The two looked straight ahead and spoke in a low voice. When they saw Wen's servant who had collected the sword approaching, they immediately fell silent. Wei WuXian released the sword in his hand, stepped up, and glanced at Gusu Lan's side involuntarily.
He originally thought that Lan Wangji would definitely refuse to join the jiāo, but unexpectedly, although Lan Wangji's face was terrifyingly cold, he still released the sword.
Mrs. Yu's ridicule at the beginning turned out to be a prophecy. They received "education" in Qishan, and it turned out that every day was clear soup and little water. The food that Jiang Yanli had covered for them at the beginning had long been confiscated, and among these young children of aristocratic families, there was no one who was fasting, so it was not difficult to deal with it.
Wen Chao's so-called "education" means standing high every day, giving a speech in front of the crowd, asking them to cheer for him in unison, and taking him as a model in every word and deed.
When hunting at night, he would bring all the children of the family and drive them to run ahead, find the way, attract the attention of monsters and ghosts, and fight hard, and then he would come out at the last moment and ease the monsters who had been beaten by others. Knocked down, cut off his head, and went out again, this is the result of his own victory.
If there is something particularly unpleasant, he will pull out the person and scold him in public, making him inferior to pigs and dogs.
The year before last, he participated in the Qishan Wen Sect's Hundred Schools Talk Conference. On the day of the arrow, Wen Chao, Wei Wuxian and others also entered the venue. He was fully convinced that he would come out on top, and he took it for granted that others must let him, but in the first three arrows, one hit, one fell, and one hit the wrong paper figurine. He should have been off the court immediately, but he was too strong, and others were embarrassed to speak of him. In the end, it was calculated that the top four with the best results were Wei Wuxian, Lan Xichen, Jin Zixuan, and Lan Wangji. If Lan WangJi wasn't for his early stance, his grades would have been even better.
Wen Chao felt ashamed, so he hated these four people in particular. Lan XiChen failed to come, so he grabbed the other three and scolded them in public every day, so imposing.
The most embarrassing is Jin Zixuan. He grew up with his parents in the palm of his hand. How could he ever be insulted like this? If it wasn't for the other children of the Lanling Jin Sect who stopped him, and Wen Zhuliu was not a good stubble. , he rushed up and died with Wen Chao on the first day. Lan Wangji, on the other hand, was in a state of stagnant heart and ignorance of all things, as if he had left his body. And Wei Wuxian had been scolded by Madam Yu for several years in Lotus Pier, and he didn't take his points seriously at all, and he was still smiling when he stepped off the stage.
On this day, everyone was bombarded by Wen's servants again early in the morning, and like a flock of poultry, they were driven towards the new night hunting location.
This night hunting place is called Muxi Mountain.
The deeper one goes into the forest, the denser the branches and leaves on the top of the head, and the more extravagant the shadows on the soles of the feet. Apart from the sound of the sea of trees and the sound of footsteps, there was no other sound, and the chirping of birds and insects was particularly abrupt in the forest.
After a long time, a group of people met head-on with a creek. The stream was gurgling, and there were maple leaves drifting in between.
The sound of the stream was maple, and the oppressive atmosphere was invisibly diluted a little, and there was a slight squeak of laughter from the front.
Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng murmured and cursed Wen Dog in different ways as they walked, and inadvertently, he glanced back and saw a white robe. Lan Wangji was not far behind him.
Because of the slow pace, Lan Wangji fell behind the team. Wei Wuxian wanted to get up close and personal with him several times in the past few days, but every time Lan Wangji saw him, he turned around, and Jiang Cheng repeatedly warned him not to flirt. At this time, it was close, and couldn't help but stay a little bit more.
Wei WuXian suddenly realized that although Lan WangJi tried his best to walk without any difference, he could still see that the landing on his right leg was lighter than the landing on his left, and he didn't seem to be able to exert any force.
Seeing this, Wei Wuxian slowed down, walked backwards to Lan Wangji's side, walked side by side with him, and asked, "What's wrong with your legs?"
☆、Chapter 52
Lan WangJi didn't look sideways and said, "It's nothing."
Wei WuXian said, "We're acquaintances, right? You're so cold, you don't even look at me. Are your legs really okay?"
Lan Wangji said, "I'm not familiar with it."
Wei Wuxian turned around, walked backwards, insisted on walking side by side with him, insisted that he see his face, and said, "Don't be brave if you have something. Is your leg hurt or broken? When did it happen?"
He was about to say, "Would you like me to carry you?" when a fragrant wind suddenly hit his nostrils.
Wei Wuxian turned his head and looked to the side, his eyes lit up.
Seeing that he suddenly shut up, Lan Wangji followed his gaze. saw three or five girls walking together, the girl in the middle was wearing a light crimson coat and a layer of tulle. The breeze was blowing, the gauze fluttered, and the back of the figure was particularly good-looking.
Wei Wuxian was looking at this back.
A girl smiled and said, "Mianmian, this sachet of yours is really a good thing. After you put it on, the mosquitoes will stop coming, and the smell is good. It seems that you are very awake when you smell it."
The girl called Mianmian spoke in a soft and sweet voice: "The sachets are filled with chopped medicinal herbs, which are used for many purposes. I have a few more here, who do you want?"
