Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword

Chapter 17: Senior Xuandu

Views:

Lin Weirui was dragged into the ancestral hall by Lin Minzhi and received a full ten whips.

In this family, she was beaten the most. When she was a child, she often walked around quietly behind Lin Rufei's back. It was good that she was not sick. As long as Lin Rufei was sick, she would be beaten. Later, Lin Rufei didn't want to implicate her any more, so she dragged Lin Rufei out, and winked at her, saying that the eldest brother's whip was useless at all, and it didn't hurt at all when it was thrown on her back, it just looked scary.

"Besides, it's so boring for you to be alone in the garden." Lin Weirui said, "Even if Xiao Jiu doesn't want to see people, it's good for us to see other scenery on the mountain."

It was like this from a young age to a big one. It was not until Lin Weirui went out to travel a few years ago that Lin Rufei's courtyard became quite lonely.

Lin Minzhi soon came back with Lin Weirui, Lin Weirui limped, screamed, and rushed to Lin Rufei's side with tears in her eyes, hugged her beloved brother, and cried, "Big brother, , you are so cruel, I just came back, you are going to crippled me."

Lin Minzhi said coldly, "Otherwise I'll give you ten more whips to help you fulfill your lame wish?"

Lin Weirui immediately stood up straight and said righteously, "It doesn't seem to be that serious."

Lin Bianyu and Lin Rufei laughed lowly, when Lin Weirui came back, the yard was indeed quite lively.

"When are you going to leave, Xiao Jiu?" Lin Weirui turned around, hugged Lin Rufei who was sitting on the chair from behind, smelled the faint medicinal fragrance unique to him, and said in her mouth, "I just Come back, you can't leave immediately, the rivers and lakes are sinister, there are always some annoying people, ask them to prepare more magic weapons for you before you leave, even if we can't beat him, we will kill him with magic weapons!"

Lin Bianyu stood by and listened, and nodded in agreement.

Lin Rufei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The four brothers and sisters had dinner together before they dispersed. Lin Rufei was also a little tired. After taking a bath, she sat by the window and looked at the leafless peach tree in the courtyard. The peach tree was thin and small, and the few sparse leaves on the branches were even more pitiful, like a child in tattered clothes, trembling pitifully with the night wind.

Lin Rufei had sent Fu Hua and Yu Rui to rest. At this time, he was the only one left in the house. He looked at the peach blossom in the courtyard hidden in the night, and said softly, "Is Senior Gu there?"

No one answered.

Lin Rufei was a little disappointed. He knew that Gu Xuandu seemed to be the only one who could see Gu Xuandu. The origin of this person was fascinated, but he seemed to have an inseparable relationship with the peach trees in the courtyard. He was thinking so, when he turned his head, he saw Gu Xuandu, dressed in red, sitting at the head of his bed, staring at the wooden frame he placed by the head of the bed. On the wooden frame was a bunch of The peony that the floating flower picked from somewhere is very beautiful.

Lin Rufei glanced at the peach trees in the courtyard and felt a little guilty for no reason.

Gu Xuandu said, "Although peony is beautiful, it is still too vulgar."

Lin Rufei could only respond: "Yes."

Gu Xuandu's phoenix eyes turned and landed on him, and said, "It's still the beauty of peach blossoms."

Lin Rufei dared to brush off the beauty's meaning: "That's right."

Who knows that Gu Xuandu's next sentence is: "Unfortunately, I can't drive too much."

Lin Rufei almost choked on this sentence.

Gu Xuandu sighed and frowned: "It took a few years to squeeze out such a flower, but it was blown away by the wind." He suddenly got up, walked to Lin Rufei, and raised his hand. His chin stared into his eyes, "Fortunately, there is always one left." Lin Rufei couldn't help closing her eyes, feeling his cold fingers gently brushing against her right eye.

"Enough is enough." Gu Xuandu said with a smile.

Lin Rufei said, "Senior..."

Gu Xuandu said, "What?"

Lin Rufei called again, "Senior."

Gu Xuandu's expression was subtle: "What before..."

Lin Rufei was horrified by Gu Xuandu's eyes, as if the word "senior" had aroused some kind of indescribable interest in a certain Gu Xuandu, her lips twitched for a moment, and then she said in a low voice, "Senior Xuandu, what's the matter? ?"

Gu Xuandu smiled and said, "It's nothing, just call me senior again."

Lin Rufei: "..." Why did he have the illusion that he was being taken advantage of.

Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Can I ask, Senior Xuan Du is Gui Geng this year?"

Gu Xuan didn't change his face: "It's still a lot older than you."

Lin Rufei said, "How much is that?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Is it inappropriate to ask people's age as soon as they come?"

Lin Rufei thought about it and felt that there was some truth to it, but obviously, Gu Xuandu's sentence was not too big, and the credibility was not very high.

But since he was willing to be a senior, Lin Rufei followed his wishes: "I competed with Wang Zhan a few days ago, thank you for your help."

Gu Xuan said lazily: "I didn't help much, I just picked up a peach branch that was broken by your second brother and sent it to you."

Gu Xuandu's tone was calm and calm, but what he said was a child's complaint, how could Lin Rufei not hear it, and if he couldn't laugh or cry, he would definitely ask his second brother.

"My brothers have agreed with me to go down the mountain for a few days. I wonder if Senior Xuandu is willing to go with me?" Knowing that such a request was too much, Lin Rufei's pale cheeks were flushed with nervousness. He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Of course, if senior doesn't want to, I won't force it. When I leave, I will tell my second brother not to let him touch the peach trees in the yard."

Who knew that Gu Xuan had listened to his words, but he seemed to smile instead of smiling: "Of course I'm going down the mountain with you. My only petals have fallen on you. I don't want to follow you. Besides..."

Lin Rufei said, "Besides?"

Gu Xuandu's tone became slightly serious: "Besides, I also have something to ask for."

Lin Rufei said, "I don't know what happened?"

Gu Xuandu said: "My soul is weak now, and I can't show up often. If I want to retrieve the old things that have been lost in various places, I have to trouble Xiao Jiu."

Lin Rufei said in surprise, "Old things? Do you know where they fell?"

"It can be vaguely sensed, but the time is too long, and it's a little blurry. You have to get closer to know it." Gu Xuandu said, "But since you want to travel down the mountain, it's still a good way to go."

Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Then Senior Xuandu has accepted the invitation of my companion? I just don't know if I need to bring the peach tree in the courtyard?"

Gu Xuandu smiled lightly: "It's not necessary, I have other ways."

Lin Rufei was slightly overjoyed. This trip, he was most worried about his lack of self-protection ability, which caused his brothers and sisters to worry. Although Gu Xuandu appeared abruptly and his identity became a mystery, in the end he was helping him everywhere. According to his current lifespan, he would not survive for thirty years on the Kunlun Mountains, and he had no long possessions and no place to use. It was his greatest wish in this life to be able to leave the Kunlun Mountains and walk around.

Chao Wendao said that Xi would be dead, so that was probably the case.

The night is getting darker.

Lin Rufei lay down on the bed, Gu Xuan was sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning against the wooden chair, not knowing what he was looking at, Lin Rufei looked at him for a while, then drowsily felt a little sleepy, he half lowered his eyes In his eyes, he seemed to hear Gu Xuandu whispering: "After watching this scene for a hundred years, it is indeed a little tired."

Centennial? Lin Rufei thought in a daze, as if she had heard her mother say that the peach forest at the foot of the mountain appeared exactly a hundred years ago. I don't know who planted it, or when it grew up. When people found it, it was already in the height of spring, and peach blossoms for dozens of miles were blooming, reddening a cliff.

On the second day, it was sunny.

Fu Hua washed the locust flower that she picked yesterday, and then took the white noodles, and planned to make Dumpling locust flower dumplings. Lin Weirui just came back, and the whole Kunlun Mountains knew about it. She went to Qianshan last night, found the disciples under Lin Minzhi's door, and had a drink with them. It was not until dawn that she was pulled back to the house by Lin Minzhi, and she almost missed it again. A whip. Lin Minzhi's calm personality was completely useless in front of Lin Weirui, and he could hardly wait to hold the whip in the ancestral hall in his hand and beat it all the time.

However, Lin Weirui also knew that Lin Minzhi was just thundering and raining little, the whip whistled and fell on her body as if it was tickling, but she was still very smart, even if it didn't hurt at all, she would scream, even with a fake lame. In a few days, it was enough to give his big brother face.

The dumplings filled with locust blossoms were a bit plain, so Yurui went to the kitchen to get a piece of pork belly and two fresh cabbage, planning to make some pork cabbage stuffing.

The courtyard was very lively, Lin Rufei had nothing to do, and played chess with her sullen second brother.

Lin Bianyu's chess skills are as wonderful as his swordsmanship, but today he obviously didn't put his mind on the chessboard and lost three games in a row.

Lin Rufei said, "What is the second brother thinking?"

Lin Bianyu said, "It will rain in a few days."

Lin Rufei asked inexplicably, "What if it's raining?"

Lin Bianyu said, "The mountain road is slippery and unsafe after the rain. You'd better go down the mountain on another day."

Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Second brother, I'm not made of sugar. Could it melt in the rain? It won't take too long to travel down the mountain. I'll be back when I receive the invitation."

Lin Bianyu was still sullen, and glanced at the peach blossom trees in the yard, intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Rufei quickly told Lin Bianyu, saying that after she left, everything in the yard should not be moved, especially the peach tree—

Lin Bianyu said solemnly, "Little Jiu, do you know that the peach tree is not a good thing, and even shot at me that day!"

Lin Rufei was startled: "Shoot?"

Yesterday, it was Gu Xuandu who complained, but today it was Lin Bianyu, who seemed to be a couple, but turned into naive children: "He tripped me on purpose and caused me to fall. Falling." Probably because he thought it wasn't too serious to say, Lin Bianyu exaggerated and added, "Now my legs are still hurting badly."

How could Lin Rufei believe it, it was just a fall, it was just a little shameful, and it wouldn't be too serious, but she still calmed down and comforted Lin Bianyu until the dumplings were cooked, and Lin Bianyu was depressed. The color has only disappeared a little.

The hot dumplings were served on the table, and the hungover Lin Weirui was dragged to the table by Lin Minzhi. The four of them sat down and raised their porcelain cups first.

Lin Rufei replaced the wine with tea and gave a toast first. Everyone laughed and raised their cups to celebrate.

At this time, the spring is thick outside the window, and the peach branches tremble slightly in the wind, as if in harmony.

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: Good little chives, call the seniors two more times to listen to them

Lin Rufei: ... ... Gu Xuandu! ! !
