Chapter 129 What is the loneliness of empty-nesters?
Yan Ju grabbed the third senior brother before he got angry and chased them away.
Bring out the warm water, "Third Brother, don't be angry, this is what Second Brother meant."
Ji Liuguang paused, turned around, and asked, "What's going on?"
Yan Ju quickly repeated the result of her discussion with her second senior brother, "That's it, the three of us will go to the Feng family with you."
Ji Liuguang frowned. Although he didn't understand why Wen Shuishui agreed to let these junior brothers and sisters go together, he didn't say anything.
As long as my junior sister is happy.
Yan Ju: "Second Senior Brother has already gone to talk to the elders. I came over to tell you."
When Xue Zifang heard the good news, he immediately raised his hands and cheered, "That's great, I can finally go out and play again."
Song Fanxing was a little reserved and didn't jump up directly, but she was obviously very happy. "The Feng family is one of the four great families. I haven't been there yet."
The Four Great Families and the Five Sects seldom visit each other and only get together when there are grand ceremonies or some special circumstances.
The four major families are very mysterious to the disciples of their sects.
Ji Liuguang sternly warned the two excited junior brothers, "Although Second Senior Brother agrees that you can go together, but on the way, you two must remember to listen to me."
Ji Liuguang only mentioned the two of them, and obviously did not include Yan Ju.
Xue Zifang pouted and pointed at Yan Ju, "What about the junior sister?"
Ji Liuguang looked at Yan Ju, his eyes softened, "Little Junior Sister, please do as you please. I'll listen to her."
Song Fanxing shook the talisman pen in his hand, "Third Senior Brother, you have changed. I am so disappointed in you."
The warm water was very efficient and returned from the elder in just a quarter of an hour.
Xue Zifang and Song Fanxing gathered around nervously, "Have the elders agreed?"
The two of them were really afraid of missing this opportunity to skip class with a clear conscience.
Wen Shuishui nodded as expected, "We'll set off tomorrow."
*
This trip to the Feng family is full of dangers, and it is very likely that there will be no relaxing moments along the way.
Yan Ju specially organized a bonfire dinner in the evening and called his senior brothers to prepare for the final carnival.
Barbecue is a must.
Some time ago, Xue Zifang and Song Fanxing took Xiao Hei to catch a snow fox for their junior sister. However, they didn't catch any snow fox, but instead caught a bunch of various monsters, which they all kept in the hill where Xiao Hei was.
Yan Ju grabbed all these monsters and roasted them.
Xiao Hei had originally run to her angrily to settle the score, but when he smelled the aroma of the barbecue, he could not move anymore. He lay down beside the campfire, drooling, ready to eat the barbecue.
During this time, Yan Ju found a kind of magical fruit suitable for making wine in the mountains. She brewed a jar of fruit wine and buried it in the snow.
Dig it out and drink it now.
As soon as the mud seal was opened, fragrance filled the air, with a faint spiritual power floating in it.
Originally, the fourth and fifth senior brothers did not allow her to drink alcohol, but the spiritual fruit wine she brewed herself was different from the wine sold outside. It had basically no alcohol content and tasted like sweet water. Seeing that she liked it, the senior brothers let her drink it.
Yan Ju poured wine for several brothers and toasted them with warm water, "Second Brother, we will all be away from the sect tomorrow, so it's up to you to look after the house."
Every time, the second senior brother watched these fellow disciples coming and going, but he stayed alone at the sect gate, waiting for everyone to come back.
This is the loneliness of empty-nest elderly people.
Wen Shuishui was actually quite reluctant to see all of her fellow junior fellow students leave at once.
Although it was noisy every day when they were around, I never felt bored or lonely at all.
The Cangxue Sect without anyone was really deserted.
Before these fellow apprentices joined him, he actually experienced many years of such loneliness.
But as more and more junior fellow apprentices came, the mountain became gradually lively, and he was no longer used to that kind of desolation.
He raised his glass and gently clinked it with Yan Ju's. "Be careful. I'll wait for you guys on the mountain."
The word "wait" has a magical power.
When this word was spoken, Yan Ju felt as if she had found a place to stay, as if there was a thread connecting her to the sect. Although they were thousands of miles apart, she would eventually return here.
"Okay." She smiled softly, picked up the glass and drank it all.
The spiritual fruit wine doesn't taste like alcohol, but has a sweet taste. A hint of sweetness seeps into the heart from the mouth.
Xue Zifang and Song Fanxing ate the barbecue like crazy without caring about their image, and occasionally threw a few pieces of meat to Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei buried his head in eating without looking around.
The heartless group of two people and one beast were concentrating on eating and competing to see who could eat the most.
This is obviously Xiao Hei's home court.
When the Double-Winged Beast was eating barbecue, it swallowed the whole monster whole without spitting out even the bones. The two people who were chewing the meat slowly were obviously lagging behind.
The conspicuous Xue Zifang and Song Fanxing immediately pointed out that it was unfair.
Under their protest, Xiao Hei had to start spitting out bones when eating barbecue.
Soon, the bones of monsters piled up into a small white hill at its feet.
Xue Zifang and Song Fanxing saw that they couldn't beat it, so they gave up and said, "No more competition."
There is no comparison at all.
I don’t know how these monsters grew, but they eat so fast.
Feeling a little sick of eating meat, the two men ran to Yan Ju to ask for some spiritual fruit wine. Yan Ju poured a glass for each of them.
Seeing that Ji Liuguang didn't do much, she poured him a glass and said, "Third Brother, drink."
Xue Zifang came close to her and tried to snatch the wine glass away, "Third Brother, you don't know how to drink, so let me drink it."
Song Fanxing echoed, "I heard that Third Senior Brother can drink very little and can get drunk after just one glass."
One cup down?
I don't think the third senior brother will go crazy after getting drunk.
After hearing what he said, Yan Ju was about to withdraw her hand and drink the glass of wine herself.
As soon as he moved, the wine glass in his hand was taken away.
Ji Liuguang took the wine glass from Yan Ju, expressionless, lowered his eyes and took a sip.
Xue Zifang was stunned, "Third Senior Brother, he actually drank?"
Song Fanxing was also shocked, "We used to ask Third Senior Brother to drink but he never drank."
The self-disciplined Third Brother thinks that alcohol is not a good thing and can easily lead to mistakes. Besides, he himself cannot drink and has never touched alcohol.
Xue Zifang and Song Fanxing tried to persuade him to drink many times but failed.
Even secretly mixing wine into the spiritual liquid he usually drank didn't fool him.
They never thought that one day they would see the third senior brother personally take the wine handed to him and drink it.
After all, she has to be my junior sister.
I guess if the junior sister handed a bottle of poison to the third senior brother, the third senior brother would drink it without changing his expression.
Ji Liuguang took a sip of the spiritual fruit wine in silence, and his cheeks immediately turned red.
Yan Ju asked eagerly, "Is it delicious, Third Senior Brother?"
Ji Liuguang's face flushed, his eyes slightly blurred, "It tastes good."
Yan Ju was about to say something else when he saw his third senior brother in front of him fall forward and hit the ground.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
