Chapter 108 Kneeling as punishment
Wang Cong opened his mouth wide.

In the cold night, a breeze blew by and Wang Cong shivered. He immediately closed his open mouth, lowered his head and stood there with great respect.

There was no one around, only a breeze, but Pan Yun exhaled, raised his chin and said to Wang Cong: "Let's go."

This time Wang Cong had no objection and followed her obediently, carrying a bag of silver ingots.

For the next hour, Wang Cong followed behind and witnessed Pan Yun's fancy wrestling.

Twice, she slipped and half of her leg fell into the cliff, but she climbed back up screaming.

Wang Cong followed behind with his hands covering his heart, and when he saw the person standing with the light on in front of the mountain gate, tears were about to fall.

Pan Xiaohei, who was following behind, also had tears in his eyes and almost burst into tears on the spot.

Pan Yun stumbled up the mountain gate and looked up to meet Wang Feiyin's sympathetic face.

"Big Brother, why are you here so late instead of sleeping?"

Wang Feiyin: "I had soaked my feet and was ready to sleep. I had taken off my clothes, and then I heard someone shouting "Master" in the mountains."

"I stood at the mountain gate for an hour, felt the cold wind for an hour, listened to someone yelling in the mountains for an hour, and cursed the evil heaven for an hour. Every time I thought that person would come up the next moment, she would always curse a few more times," Wang Feiyin sighed, "Junior sister, you still need to practice your leg strength. It took you an hour to climb the mountain."

Pan Yun's eyes were filled with tears. "Big Brother, I only spent an hour climbing such a high and winding mountain path, and I climbed it at night. Isn't it worthy of praise?"

"For people like us, what's the difference between night and day?"

"Of course, otherwise why would your son persuade me to climb the mountain at daybreak?"

Wang Feiyin shook his head and asked, "You went to sell talismans again today? How much money did you make? Did you fall all the way up here?"

"He just fell up here." Pan Yun looked around and asked, "Where's my cat? Where is my little black cat?"

"Meow——" Pan Xiaohei jumped out from under the tree in the darkness.

Pan Jun exhaled, "Oh, you are still alive, that's all that matters."

[I had a few bad lucks along the way. You saw how I got unlucky. Write it down. Write it all down for me! ]

Pan Xiaohei: "Meow...I'll remember that."

Pan Yun reached out to Wang Cong.

Wang Cong was stunned. "What?"

Pan Yun: "Money."

Wang Cong came back to his senses and quickly handed her the bag on his shoulder.

Pan Jun picked up the money bag and waved to Wang Feiyin and others, "I'm going back first."

Tao Ji: "Junior sister, won't you let me see the injuries on your body?"

Pan Yun immediately turned around and said, "That's fine."

Tao Ji: ...

He brought the person back to the main hall and examined her carefully under the light. She had fallen all the way up the mountain, and her arms and legs were covered with bruises, impact injuries, and bruises.

Tao Ji frowned, "Lie down, I'll press on you to see if you're injured anywhere else."

Pan Yun immediately lined up the three cushions on the ground and lay down.

Tao Ji pressed down with one hand and she screamed. Tao Ji immediately lifted her clothes to look at her waist and abdomen, only to find that her waist and abdomen were also covered with bruises.

Tao Ji: ...

Xuan Miao frowned slightly.

Wang Feiyin sighed twice, sympathizing with him and comforted him, "You'll get used to it. I've been through all this before."

Pan Yun endured the pain and said: "I am different from you. I will be able to get rid of this situation soon."

Wang Feiyin looked unconvinced and snorted twice, "Do you know how many years it took me to get rid of this kind of life?"

"How many?"

Wang Feiyin stretched out his hand and slapped it. "Six years."

The word "five" stuck in Pan Yun's throat. She slammed her head on the futon. She looked at the beam with a look of despair, "Big Brother, please don't talk to me. I have a bad temper now and I'm afraid I can't control my anger."

Wang Feiyin nodded repeatedly, "I understand you. I couldn't control my anger back then either. Your second and third senior brothers and your eldest nephew were often beaten by me. Sigh, you should control your anger, otherwise you won't be able to beat me and I will beat you in the end."

He sighed and said, "I've beaten up all the junior brothers and sisters of your generation. I really don't want to beat you up. If this gets out, it will make me look bad."

Tao Ji and Xuan Miao listened expressionlessly.

Pan Jun also became expressionless. She really couldn't make any expression at this moment.

Tao Ji finished the examination and said, "Fortunately, they are all flesh wounds, with no damage to the bones or internal organs."

He stood up and said, "I will prepare the medicine for you. You go take a bath and I will let Fourth Junior Sister apply medicine to heal your wounds."

Xuanmiao helped her up and said to Wang Feiyin, who was still nagging, "Big Brother, I'll help her back to the house."

Wang Feiyin could only swallow the words that were about to come to his lips and waved his hand, saying, "Go, go."

Miaohe, Miaozhen and Tao Yanbai were already fast asleep and no one could wake them up.

Wang Feiyin smiled as he watched them return to the backyard. He then turned his head to look at Wang Cong, his smile fading a lot. "You just watched your junior master stumble all the way up here?"

Wang Cong was worried and said, "Didn't you say that this is a punishment from heaven? No one can take its place. If I get close, I will suffer in vain, so..."

Wang Feiyin slapped him on the head and said, "That's me. How old is your junior uncle? Are you just looking at him like that?"

Wang Cong bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Wang Feiyin snorted and said, "Go and kneel in front of the mountain gate."

Wang Cong went out obediently and knelt in front of the mountain gate.

Tao Ji came back from the alchemy room with the medicine. He was startled when he passed by the mountain gate and hurried up to see, "Cong'er? Why are you kneeling? Did the senior brother punish you?"

Wang Cong lowered his head and said, "I shouldn't have stood by and watched Junior Master fall all the way up."

Tao Ji looked conflicted, and after a moment's hesitation, he squatted beside him and said, "Although this bad luck is a punishment from heaven, and others cannot interfere, but when Junior Sister got into trouble last time, Senior Brother was the first to rush forward."

"We don't know whether our bad luck ended there or whether it ended there because our senior brother stopped the situation from developing. But we are born into this world and we can't just live our lives by God's will. We should try our best and have a clear conscience."

Tao Ji reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "That time, Senior Brother asked me to follow Junior Sister closely and take her to the county town to spend money. Do you really think Senior Brother was afraid that she would be cheated?"

"Since it is a punishment from heaven, the best way to solve the problem is to lose the money. Borrowing money to avoid disaster is better than suffering physical damage. But the eldest brother still asked me to take her with him because he was afraid that something might happen to her on the way. The eldest brother asked me to protect her."

Tao Ji said: "When Junior Sister went down the mountain several times, either I followed her or Fourth Junior Sister followed her. It was all about the same thing. You..."

Wang Cong opened his mouth, lowered his head and said sullenly, "I know I was wrong." Tao Ji patted his shoulder and whispered, "I'll go and plead with Senior Brother, although it may be useless."

Tao Ji sighed and went back to find Xuan Miao with the medicine.

Xuan Miao knew that Wang Cong was punished to kneel, and she said to Tao Ji, "Don't go, or you may be punished by the senior brother too."

This kind of thing has happened before. Sometimes when Wang Feiyin got angry, he would make a row of people kneel in front of the mountain gate, from his second senior brother to his eldest nephew, without leaving out a single one.

"What should we do? We can't let Cong'er kneel in front of the mountain gate all night. He hasn't kneeled for many years. It's cold at night. What if he gets sick..."

"Stop mumbling and come in and apply the medicine on me," Pan Yun raised his head and shouted towards the window, "Wait until I finish applying the medicine, I will go find my senior brother."

Xuanmiao nodded to Tao Ji and went in to apply medicine to Pan Yun.

Xuan Miao lowered her eyes and saw the black cat lying on the ground. She couldn't help but frowned, picked it up and put it outside the door, then slammed the door shut. "Don't come in until the medicine is applied."

Tao Ji and the black cat were left standing outside the door, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Tao Ji looked the black cat up and down, helplessly, "Fourth Junior Sister, are you on guard against even a cat now?"

Xuan Miao ignored him, lifted Pan Yun's clothes and applied medicine to her, and asked, "Did you hear everything? How are you going to plead for mercy?"

Pan Jun hissed in pain and groaned, "Did you learn this secretive personality from Senior Brother? I thought it was innate."

Xuan Miao rubbed the ointment in her palm and pressed it on her wound. Pan Jun raised her head in pain and cried out twice, "Big Brother doesn't look like a person with this kind of personality, but I didn't expect him to be the culprit. Is there anything that can't be said openly?"

Xuanmiao said: "Twenty years later, if you can still say these words, I will respect you."

Although she did not live to the age of 28 in her previous life, she did live past 20, so she lived both lives with integrity!
"I have always been frank and sincere to my relatives and friends, except for my enemies. No one would be frank and sincere to their enemies." Pan Yun gave an example: "For example, my father, when he asked me, I immediately told him that I had extraordinary talents, so I came to practice Taoism, without hiding anything."

Xuan Miao snorted coldly, "Whether you have concealed anything or not, you know it yourself. Also, do you think that Senior Brother punished Cong'er simply because you were injured?"

"Big Brother punished Cong'er, half for you and half for Cong'er himself." Xuanmiao said: "Big Brother was teaching him the principles of being a human being. He didn't help you, which not only hurt you, but also his own Tao heart."

“Once the path has gone astray, it is difficult to correct it.”

Pan Jun was stunned and turned to look at her, "Then do you want me to beg for mercy?"

Xuan Miao looked down at her, looking straight into her heart, and asked, "Then do you want to beg for mercy?"

Pan Jun thought about it and nodded, "Alas, I was the one who told him to leave me alone and stay away from me. I think he is right. What if his help is useless and he is also affected by bad luck?"

"What good is there in meaningless sacrifice?" Pan Yun paused and said, "Besides, I think he is a very smart kid. With Third Senior Brother's age, he must have known that he was wrong."

"There's no need to punish the child so harshly."

Xuanmiao said: "He will be an adult next year, and you are only eight years old. You are a child."

Then I was also one year older than him in my previous life, Pan Yun replied in his mind, "I am his elder, so I am older mentally."

Xuanmiao snorted, but the movements of applying the medicine became more gentle and careful.

It took quarter of an hour to apply the medicine. Pan Yun then put on his underwear, put on a coat and went to find Wang Feiyin.

Wang Feiyin had already laid down with his clothes on and was about to fall into a deep sleep.

Pan Yun knocked on the door persistently and finally woke him up from the bed.

Wang Feiyin looked down at her with a dark face, "It's the middle of the night, can't you save your words for tomorrow?"

"My oldest nephew will be an ice sculpture tomorrow."

Wang Feiyin: "It's only the end of autumn now, how can it be so cold at night?"

Pan Yun: "I hate husbands and parents who physically punish their children. If there is a reason, then just use the reason. What's the point of punishing people like this other than hurting the child physically and mentally?"

"It's so quiet at night. Kneeling alone quietly, you can reflect on yourself. If you can't find where you went wrong after such a deep reflection, then you are hopeless. Do you think this method is effective?"

Pan Yun: "I have a conflict with your educational philosophy, but I am exhausted both physically and mentally and don't want to argue with you. Just tell me, should we let him get up?"

Wang Feiyin: "Does he know he's wrong?"

Tao Ji, who was hiding in the dark, immediately emerged and nodded repeatedly, saying, "He knows he was wrong."

Wang Feiyin: "Does he know what he did wrong?"

"I know, I know." Tao Ji glanced at Pan Yun and described the conversation between him and Wang Cong just now. He looked at Wang Feiyin eagerly and said, "Big Brother, Cong'er really knows that he is wrong."

Wang Feiyin then waved his hand and said, "Since he knows he is wrong, then the purpose of forcing him to kneel is half achieved. Let him stand up."

Tao Ji agreed and immediately ran to find Wang Cong.

Wang Feiyin looked down at Pan Yun who was still standing, "What else do you want?"

Pan Yun frowned and said, "Heavenly punishment, is this heavenly punishment directed at our Sanqing Mountain lineage?"

Wang Feiyin nodded, "There's nothing we can do. We worshipped the mountain god as our master and received the master's kindness. Naturally, we have to share some of the heavenly punishment on the master."

Pan Yun approached and asked in a low voice: "Big Brother, do you know why Master was punished by heaven?"

"It's much easier for you to see the Master than it is for me. Why don't you ask Him?"

Pan Jun was very frank, "I don't dare."

"I don't dare either," Wang Feiyin couldn't help but smile, "But don't be afraid, I'm the eldest disciple. Even if there is a heavenly punishment, it will fall more on me. You're a young disciple, so you just need to bear some of the responsibilities."

Pan Jun looked up and carefully observed Wang Feiyin's expression, feeling a little touched, "Big Brother, I...ah!"

Pan Yun covered her forehead and glared at him with wide eyes. Wang Feiyin took back the hand that knocked her head and said, "Stop wasting time. If you don't go to bed, it will be dawn soon. Aren't you afraid of going back in the dark and falling all the way? Today's bath and medicine will be in vain."

When Pan Jun heard this, he immediately walked back carefully, holding on to the wall, making sure every step was firm before taking the next one.

The touching feeling in her heart had long since vanished and was forgotten. She walked out of the yard holding on to the wall and ran into Tao Ji who had brought Wang Cong back.

When Wang Cong saw her limping, his eyes turned red. He ran over to support her and said, "Little Master, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine, don't cry, I don't have any candy to comfort you."

Wang Cong couldn't help but smile bitterly, and simply picked her up and said, "I'll take you home."

Pan Yun was extremely nervous. "Then you have to hold me tight, don't let me fall. The pain and degree of injury from falling while walking and falling while being held are very different."

Wang Cong agreed, taking every step slowly and steadily, and walked the man back to the room and put him on the bed.

Wang Cong took off her shoes and said softly, "Junior Master, I'm sorry."

Pan Yun waved her hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you. Don't take it to heart. Child, don't just accept what the adults say. You should learn to refute and reflect in your heart..."

Wang Cong's forehead was covered with sweat. After a moment of silence, he said, "Little Master, go to sleep. Children need more sleep, otherwise they won't grow tall."
