Chapter 10

"Brother Wei?" Lin Zhanyu called him softly, "Why are you here?"

"Nonsense." Wei Qingyun looked away from the book, and tested the temperature of the child's forehead with the back of his hand: "Are you feeling better?"

Lin Zhanyu nodded, recalling all the previous things, he was very annoyed: "Did I miss your business?"

"So you know?" It doesn't matter to him, Wei Qingyun deliberately teased him: "Then you will be well in the future, don't get sick again, and I won't care about you. Did you hear that?"

Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Zhanyu wanted to cry, because of the grievance Xue He had brought to him, and at the same time because of the concern and care Wei Qingyun gave him.

He tucked half of his face into the quilt, and seeing that Wei Qingyun was about to leave, he hurriedly asked, "Brother, why are you going?"

"Master, Xiao Qiao and Big Brother went out to work, and no one else is here, so I'll get you something to eat." Wei Qingyun rolled up his sleeves as he said.

He had been staying with the child all this time, and he hadn't had time to change out of the brand-new coat on his body. At this moment, he pulled it up, and the snow-white inside was turned to the outside, making him look extraordinarily neat.

"Thank you very much." Lin Zhanyu said in a low voice.

"What did you say?" The child's voice was too low for Wei Qingyun to hear clearly.

"I said, thank you." Lin Zhanyu cleared his throat.

Wei Qingyun looked at him with complicated emotions.

The skinny boy in his teens was pitifully ill, and he was lying on the bed to thank him. He should have agreed with comfort, but he knew in his heart that he deserved the thank you word of child.

"If you want to thank, you might as well thank Master. He used to treat me like this. I'm just following the gourd." Wei Qingyun made an excuse and hurried out the door.

Before leaving, he also instructed: "Cover the quilt tightly, so as not to catch a cold again. Don't talk nonsense in front of Master, he has enough things to worry about as an old man."

He boiled a big bowl of hot porridge for the child and brought it to the house.Seeing that Lin Zhanyu was devouring his food, Wei Qingyun quietly went out, sat down on the steps in front of the house, and lit a cigarette for himself.

The steps in the autumn evening are very cool. Although it is not yet the season of frost, the sweltering heat of midsummer has long since disappeared.

Looking at the remaining glow in the sky, Wei Qingjun took a deep breath of smoke and exhaled it slowly, making the smoke linger in front of his eyes.

He glanced back at the young man in the room, who felt his gaze, raised his head and put on a smiling face at him.

Wei Qingyun also smiled at him, but when he turned his head, the smile completely faded away.

He knew it was unfair to the child, but he couldn't open his mouth to say to Lin Zhanyu: I dare not take your thanks, after all, I only treat you well because I want to keep you with me and let you live with me. .

Lin Zhanyu is only in his teens now, and he has only been surrounded by Lin Xiucai and others in the village since he was a child, so even though he has endured changes and watched too much life and death, he is still pure and kind.But Wei Qingyun was different.

He has been in this industry for several years, and he is the most familiar with the three religions and nine streams.He used to yearn for sincerity and someone to treat him well like Lin Zhanyu, but after years, he has long lost his original mood.

In the business of talking jokes, if he has only one person to speak alone, just like Qiao Xiaoyan, it is naturally good, but if he can find a suitable partner, it will be even better for him.

He is not a saint, and he knows very well what it means to "do not do it for yourself, and heaven and earth will destroy it."He finally had this child, and he didn't want anything to happen to him.

As for today's matter, after all, he is not a short-sighted person. He Shanren has a master and brothers on his side, so it doesn't matter if he is missing, but if Lin Zhanyu doesn't have him, he doesn't know what will happen.

After thinking for a while, the cigarette in Wei Qingyun's hand burned out.

He sighed, turned to look at Lin Zhanyu, who was eating well, and thought to himself: Probably not all of them.

A bit of selfishness mixed with the gratitude for the teacher's kindness and the deep-seated goodness emerged in Wei Qingyun's heart together, washing away his perception, making the rough places in his heart more rough and the soft places softer.

The young man frowned and took out another cigarette.

He thought, if he was like Xue He, he already had a lot of fans before he met Lin Zhanyu, or if he was also at the critical moment of needing money, he would give up the opportunity to stay with He Shanren today. Looking after kids at home?

Wei Qingyun didn't know, he didn't face such a situation, and he was outside the matter, so he could justly accuse Xue He of his faults, but if he was a player in the situation, he felt that maybe everything was wrong.

But when he thought back on the past, he realized that all the care for the children in the past was not entirely out of self-interest, but also had a caring instinct in it, so he felt a little relieved.

He thought, born in the world, without the heart of a saint to sacrifice himself to cross others, at least don't be ashamed of the teachings of his parents and masters.

The boy in the room at this time was not as simple-minded as he seemed.What Wei Qingyun didn't know was that with today's events and nearly a year of getting along with him, Lin Zhanyu had already become a very good person in Lin Zhanyu's heart.

The child was reluctant to lie down after eating the porridge, but stared at the back of Brother Wei outside the door, only to see that the autumn wind was picking up, and the man's slightly long hair and the hem of the clothes that fell on the ground swayed gently.

A thought came to the young boy's mind, he thought, besides making trouble and making people unhappy, what else can I do?

After thinking about it for a while, he came to the conclusion that there was nothing else to do.

They don't matter to them, do the people here really treat themselves well?

Thinking about this, he felt a dull pain in his palm, and suddenly remembered that the injury left by Qiao Xiaoyan's punishment a while ago hadn't healed yet.

That's all, after all, the master provided him with food and lodging and taught him skills, he was kind to him, and the occasional corporal punishment was also reasonable.But what is Xue He?Why is he bullying people like this?

In the eyes of sincere and clear young people, those who can control themselves but do nothing, and those who are not very capable but do the disgusting act of worshiping the superior and trampling on the inferior, are wicked people, people who have lost their conscience and put on human skin in vain.

So he secretly made up his mind: I want to go, I want to leave the people who don't welcome me and the place that doesn't treat me well.

As for the kindness of Master and Brother Wei, he thought, he can only repay it when he has a chance in the future, if it is not exhausted in this life, he will repay it in the next life as a cow and a horse.

Lin Zhanyu really wanted to leave this time, not just thinking about it casually.Two days later, after recovering from the cold, he began to think about how to escape.

In order not to let the master always look at him, the young man pretended to be very well-behaved, and he had no objection to what the master asked him to do.

Qiao said with a smile that he was even very pleasantly surprised, thinking that the child has grown a lot mentally after going through a disease: No way, Qiao Li has been obedient since childhood, and Boss Qiao has never experienced "fighting wits and courage" with children of this age.

On the other side, Lin Zhanyu was even more docile, even when it was his turn to buy from his seniors, he would take the initiative to grab the work.The resentment towards Xue He was deeply buried in his heart, and he usually kept silent, acting like a "brother, friend and brother respectful". At night, he secretly got up after Xue He fell asleep, and took it away bit by bit. Organize your luggage.

He has taken care of everything inside, and naturally he will not let it go outside.Every time he goes out, whether it is shopping or working with his master, teacher and buddies, he pays attention to the way he travels. If he meets a kind old man on the road, he will go to ask him about it.

After half a month, he knew exactly how to enter the city, how to get to the station, how to go south, and how to go west.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Lin Zhanyu followed Qiao Xiaoyan to learn skills for half a year.

He made up his mind to run away before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but unexpectedly, after dinner, the master suddenly called him to stop, and asked with a smile, "Zhanyu, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, how about master teaching you how to do willow work?"

"I agree." Without waiting for Lin Zhanyu to say anything, Wei Qingyun said: "This baby has a good voice, like piercing clouds and arrows. It must be nice to play willow work."

Lin Zhanyu stood there in a daze: a child is a child after all, looking at the two in front of him, his "heart of stone" instantly softened.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qiao smiled and wondered, "What's the matter?" He laughed and said, "You want to be lazy again?"

Lin Zhanyu shook his head hastily: "I have been suffering from the wind and cold recently, and my throat is not comfortable. Master, I will go back to the room and lie down first."

After all, he walked out the door quickly.

Xue He was not there, and Lin Zhanyu was the only one in the room.The boy took out the little bundle he had previously hidden in the closet, and decided to do nothing, just tonight.

It was not too late at this time, Xue He and Qiao Li hadn't come back yet, so Qiao Xiao said that naturally he didn't lock the door.

Lin Zhanyu walked lightly through the front yard, trying to sneak out while the master was not paying attention, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he stepped out of the gate, someone grabbed him by the collar and slipped back.

Wei Qingyun covered his mouth and pulled him into his room, then threw him on the ground, staring at him condescendingly: "Tell me, where do you want to go?"

Fearing that the young man would not dare to be honest, Senior Brother Wei deliberately added: "Don't worry, Master doesn't know anything."

"I don't want to go anywhere." Lin Zhanyu was still stubborn.

"Really?" Wei Qingyun bent down and tore off his little bundle to open it, only to see a pile of clothes and some scattered money inside: "Then what is this?"

He had already discovered that something was wrong with the child. The young man was too obedient in front of people these days. After careful observation, he finally came to the conclusion that there was something hidden in this child's heart.

What can young people do if they are sneaky?Wei Qingyun felt that there were several possibilities, either having a sweetheart, stealing something, or wanting to run away from home.

The first type is obviously not suitable for Lin Zhanyu who doesn't even know a girl. As for the second type, he thinks that Lin Zhanyu has neither the heart nor the guts, so only the last type remains.

"Lin Zhanyu, you can leave, but I want to tell you in advance that if you leave like this, you may die outside and never come back. Do you know how bad people are?" Wei Qingyun snapped.

He is telling the truth.Recalling the experience of encountering bandits a few years ago, Brother Wei only felt scared.

He thought, if he didn't notice for a while and let the boy run away, what kind of people and things would a teenager meet outside?The more he thought about it, the colder he broke out in a cold sweat.

For a moment, he even thought that as long as the child can stay safely and live with all his beards and tails, even if he is not given a lot of labor in the future, it would be great for them to just be brothers and sisters for a lifetime.

"Of course I know!" After failing to escape, Lin Zhanyu was also furious. After holding back for a long time, he finally showed his "true face" and replied rather dissatisfied: "I know when others look down on me and give me cold eyes. I don't need you." Come and teach me."

"You know what a fart!" Wei Qingyun kicked him on the calf angrily: "Do you think that saying a few sarcastic remarks to you is bullying you? You are wrong! When you meet a really vicious person, they will not take it Treat it like a human being. When you ate meat, you never thought that pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep are also life, right? In the eyes of those who have lost their conscience, the person who falls into their hands is not as good as a pig!"

"Although there are many things that go wrong here, relying on the master's reputation, you can still have a full meal as an apprentice. If you don't give them a penny after you go out, you still want to learn from them for nothing, See if they don't beat you to death."

Brother Wei let out a few breaths to calm his mind: "What are you going to do after you leave? Have you ever thought about it? We're talking about jokes now, but we didn't steal or rob. We earned a share of hard-earned money by ourselves. This money came cleanly. This is a livelihood that allows you to support yourself now and support your family in the future. You still want to leave? I really don’t know what to do.”

Being scolded by him like this, Lin Zhanyu instantly sobered up a lot.The young man thought, Senior Brother is right, if I leave, what else can I do?

"Tell me," Wei Qingyun snorted coldly, "Didn't you speak eloquently just now, why are you dumb now?"

Lin Zhanyu remained expressionless for a while, then got up from the ground, and honestly bowed to Wei Qingyun: "Brother, I was wrong."

Piercing Cloud Arrow can be used to describe the high-pitched and loud voices of Quyi actors. In my impression, people often comment on high-school old-fashioned actors in this way.
