Although Ah Xun didn't like this new friend in the family very much, she had to admit that since he came, she and Master were really more relaxed.

One day, Bei Ran sat in the room to change the strings of Ah Xun's piano, and Ah Xun lay on the side to accompany her, sometimes looking up at her face, sometimes lowering his eyelids and staring at the movements in her hands.

Beiran said: "Have something to say?" ”

Ah Xun played with a discarded waste string in his hand, hesitated for a while, and then spoke: "Master, do you think that Lan An is very strange? ”

Kitazin smiled and asked, "What's strange?" ”

"I can't say it, it's just weird anyway. Do you think he will be some kind of demon and monster to transform into a human, the goblin is good at changing his appearance, although his current appearance is not bad, but tearing off that skin, maybe it is something ugly. ”

Bei Ran was amused by her words, stopped what he was doing, looked at her and said, "If he is really a monster, then what do you think he wants to do?" ”

Ah Xun became excited and said seriously: "For example, come to spy on the military intelligence, deliberately approach us, find out our flaws, and then take the opportunity to defeat us." For another example, he wants to wait for a long time, and after he has a good relationship with us, he will ask the master to teach him spells, so that he can complete his own cultivation with the abundant spiritual power in our mountain. And ......"

Bei Ran smiled, pulled her to sit down, she didn't expect that she could make up so many strange things in her little brain, and said: "Okay, okay, how can it be so evil as you say, you think this is a power war." ”

Seeing Ah Xun bowing her head and saying nothing, she said again: "Since you talked about demons and monsters, then I will test you now, what are the characteristics of demons and monsters, and how to identify them?" ”

Ah Xun thought about it, and a large number of words and sentences instantly came to mind: "Demons and monsters are the spiritual things in the world that have absorbed the vitality of heaven and earth. According to the attributes of spirits, demons are living beings, and ghosts are dead spirits; Among the living beings, demons can be divided into two categories: born and cultivated, according to their origin. ”

What the four have in common is that they are all inhuman, and they have a special atmosphere, and their style of acting is very different from ordinary people. The difference is that there are different methods of cultivation, so if they are causing trouble to the people, they can be identified from the traces they leave behind. ”

Beiran said: "If the narrow road meets, how to deal with it?" ”

Ah Xun said: "Demons and monsters are different from mortals, there is no yang energy in the body to purify the filth, but anyone who harms people will have a resentment around them, and the more they kill, the heavier the anger, you can distinguish whether the person who comes is good or bad." Master said that everything in the world is divided into good and evil, regardless of kind, and the good will be treated politely, and the evil will be punished. ”

Beiran nodded: "Very good, I haven't forgotten what I taught you." Then he said: "Then in your opinion, Lan An has these characteristics?" ”

It doesn't seem to be.

Although he is thinner and his complexion is fair, he is really flesh and blood, his body is clean and pure, full of vitality, and his yang energy is very strong, without the slightest shadow of inhumanity.

Ah Xun picked up the scissors that fell to the ground, and said unhappily: "Even if he is not something else, he is a person, but he is not necessarily a good person, he always speaks only halfway, unclear, incomprehensible, and his identity is unknown, and his temperament is cold, and it is not easy to get along." ”

Beiran smiled: "At the beginning of people, nature is good. Everyone will encounter a lot of things in the process of growing up, some people will be calm and calm in the face of these things, but some people will change because of this, become less talkative, and hold things in their hearts; There are also some people who are not good at dealing with people by nature, and just want to stay in their own world carefully. But that doesn't mean they're a bad person, not a good person. When we meet such people, we should be more tolerant and touch them with sincerity, people's hearts are made of meat, I believe that as long as you are good to him, he will definitely be good to you. ”

After a moment of silence, Ah Xun raised his head and said what he had always thought in his heart: "Master, but I think that these alone are not enough to serve as a reason to keep Lan An. ”

Bei Ran saw Ah Xun's thoughts, and knew that she didn't like Lan An and didn't want him to stay here and see him every day, so he patiently explained: "This child is the son and son of a big family at first glance, and something must have happened to the family to end up here." Since he trusts us so much and thinks we can help him, let's do our part to help him. Although our yard is not very large, there are many vacant rooms, and it is no problem to live in another person. ”

"He is still young, and he may think that it is good to look at the sunset scenery in the mountains every day and listen to the birds in the forest, but when he is older, he will definitely not think so. A man is determined to defend his family and country, or wander the world, there will always be something he wants to do, and at that time, no matter what we say, he will also propose to leave. ”

"So it doesn't hurt to keep him here for a while. Besides......" she paused before saying: "I see him now, as if I saw you back then, although he is much older than you were then, but it also makes me unbearable, I can't turn a blind eye and ignore it." ”

In fact, there was another reason she didn't say, that is, for some reason, she always felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with this young man, and this feeling had already arisen when she saw him for the first time.

Ah Xun lowered his head, was silent for a while, and then bit his lip and nodded: "I know." ”

Lan An came to her after lunch according to Bei Ran's instructions. When he went to her door, he saw that the door of her room was closed, and the two of them were talking in the house, so he didn't come forward to disturb him, but just stayed quietly outside the door.

Listening to Bei Ran teaching Ah Xun seriously, the big and small truths are the truth, he pinched the door frame with one hand, and his five fingers tightened unconsciously.

It's been a long time since I've seen her, but she's matured a lot.

Bei Ran wanted to say something, just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Lan An said outside: "Can I come in?" ”

Bei Ran glanced at Ah Xun, indicating that the topic would stop, and then touched her hair with relief, lowered her voice a little, and said with a smile: "So, you have to be nice to him in the future, you can't bully him, you have to be friends with him, huh?" ”

Ah Xun's eyes dodged, and he said a little reluctantly: "Hmm." Then he got up and went to open the door, and when he passed by Lan An, he only glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and strode out.

When Lan An saw her go out, he didn't greet her, and walked straight to Bei Ran's side and asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”
