Being able to receive the invitation from Kunlun, Fu Yu should also be a powerful swordsman. It can be seen that when Lin Rufei saw Fu Yu from Fujiazhuang, Lin Rufei did not feel any imposing manner of sword energy from him. If it wasn't for the saber still hanging from his waist, I'm afraid Lin Rufei would think that the invitation from the Lin family was sent to the wrong person.
However, when he saw Fu Yu who was trapped in the eyes of the formation in front of him, the doubts in his mind were quickly resolved.
The Fu Yu in the Fu family village is not Fu Yu, the dying person in front of him should be the powerful swordsman who has another chance in the rumors of the rivers and lakes.
"What should I do now?" Lin Rufei sighed, "Go back to Fujiazhuang first and find out what's going on?"
Gu Xuandu nodded in agreement and said, "That's the only way it can be."
If Fu Yu, who is the eye of the formation, is moved away from the spirit gathering formation at this time, this formation will be irreversibly damaged. If you want to start it again at that time, it will not be easy. Now everything is like seeing flowers in the fog. Although Lin Rufei guessed something vaguely, she still couldn't fully understand the truth.
After Lin Rufei and Gu Xuan restored this place, they left the array and planned to go back to Zhuangzi to talk about it first. Just before going back, Lin Rufei found a few idle farmers around, gave them some dry food, and then asked about the past in Fujiazhuang.
"Before? This was a poor place in the past." The farmer told Lin Rufei what he wanted to know while gobbling his food. "There is saline-alkali land everywhere, and the crops will die when they are planted. We have no choice but to do something else. Although the life is hard, it is barely enough..." He said this with a wry smile, "It's better than now."
This was similar to what Lin Rufei had guessed. He asked, "But I think the crops around here are growing very well."
"Hey, this is something that has only happened in recent years." The farmer said, "The Fu family said they have come up with a way to turn the saline-alkali land into a good place for growing crops. We started to think they were joking, but who is It turned out that it really became..." He was quickly full, looked around again, and after making sure that no one around saw it, he carefully stuffed the rest of the dry food into his clothes.
"Then why are you still like this now?" Lin Rufei asked curiously, "Shouldn't life get better?"
The farmer sneered when he heard the words: "Guest, you are so naive... But it's no wonder you, we thought so at the time, but unfortunately... the people are not enough to swallow elephants." He told the next story angrily.
It turned out that before the Fu family came up with this method, they privately started buying land from farmers. This saline-alkali land is almost barren, and it is useless to keep it in their hands. The farmers all sold the land in their hands. Who knows that after a period of time, the Fu family did not know what method they used, and the crops planted in the land turned out to be unexpected. It did not wither, but began to flourish.
The farmers didn't even think about this, they wanted to go to Fu's house to make trouble, but they had to give up when they thought that there was a powerful sword repairer, Fu Yu, in the Fu's family.
"Afterwards, the Fu family got richer and richer," said the farmer, "Fu Yu was originally a good person, but after their family got rich, they became more and more excessive. No one dares to provoke him, and when I see him, I can't wait to run away..."
The kendo that Fu Yu practiced at the beginning was quite a bit of a slanted sword. When he returned home, he first selected all the people who knew swords in a radius of a hundred miles, so everyone was very afraid of him.
Lin Rufei frowned. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "How many people are there in the Fu family and Fuyu generation?"
The farmer said, "How many people? Three in total."
Lin Rufei asked, "Fu Yu is the first one?"
The farmer said: "The first one, he is the eldest son of the Fu family."
This is not a problem, but Lin Rufei's eyes widened abruptly by the farmer's next sentence, the farmer said, "He also has a twin brother named Fu Shui, but unlike Fu Yu, although Fu Shui also Practicing swords is really nothing."
Lin Rufei regained her energy immediately and said, "Pay water? The one who likes to wear purple clothes?"
"That's the third young master of their family." The farmer obviously knew the frivolous man who liked to wear purple clothes. "He's not very good-natured... Alas, but this is the case with the Fu family. Marry into the family." He said and shook his head with disdain.
Lin Rufei hurriedly asked about paying water and asked the farmer to explain it to him in detail.
The farmers didn't understand why Lin Rufei was so interested in Fu Shui, but he still told everything he knew. It turns out that Fu Yu and Fu Shui are twins, the elder brother is called Fu Yu and the younger brother is called Fu Shui. Although they both practice swords, they are not very promising due to limited conditions. After all, young people who can make their debut these days are either talented or born into a wealthy family. Children from small families with mediocre talents like Fu Yu and Fu Shui naturally have no chance to make their mark.
But fortunately, God has mercy on him. In an accident, Fu Yu had a fortuitous encounter. Suddenly, his cultivation base skyrocketed, and his swordsmanship became much stronger.
"I grew up watching these two boys. Fu Yu has a calmer temperament and a good temper," the farmer said. "We are all very happy for him, but unfortunately... Later, when his family became prosperous, he also changed."
Lin Rufei said, "What about Fu Shui, why didn't I see him?"
The farmer said: "I heard that he had a conflict with the Fu family, and he left by himself, saying that he would also go to find an adventure like Fu Yu." He laughed twice, "How can this adventure be so easy to find, I think everyone has paid for it. Is it a blessing like a fish?" He shook his head with disdain as he spoke, it seemed that he really had a bad impression of this Fushui.
"Then did you know that Fu Yu has a child named Momo?" Lin Rufei asked.
"Momo? I don't know." The farmer waved his hand and said, "After the Fu family became rich, Fu Yu married more than a dozen wives and gave birth to a bunch of children, five or six of them died. Who knows which child's name is called? ."
Lin Rufei remembered the group of children she saw in the Fu family compound, and felt that it was normal for outsiders to not know which was which.
"Is there anything else the guest wants to ask?" The farmer rubbed his hands together. "If there is nothing else to ask, I'll go to the side to ask for some water first."
"Go ahead." Lin Rufei knew everything she wanted to know.
The farmer got up and left. Lin Rufei looked at his back and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "Since paying water is not paying fish, it's actually very simple to prove this."
Gu Xuandu said, "It's really simple—" He paused for a while, and when he saw Lin Rufei's eagerness to try, he felt a little helpless, "Can you stop using the shield?"
Lin Rufei said, "But the shield is very convenient."
Gu Xuandu: "But it's ugly."
Lin Rufei: "It's still very strong."
Gu Xuandu: "But it's ugly."
Lin Rufei said, "I'm very happy using it..."
Facing the persistent Lin Rufei, Gu Xuandu's resentment almost turned into substance, and he didn't know how many times he scolded Mo Zhaocai in his heart, and finally turned into a faint sigh: "Forget it, you can use it. ."
Lin Rufei nodded happily.
The weather in the afternoon was extremely hot. Lin Rufei was already sweating when she returned to Fu's house under the scorching sun. Fortunately, his body is cold, and summer is not too hard. After sitting under the eaves for a while, most of the summer heat has gone.
Momo cried a lot in the morning, and took a nap after lunch. At this moment, he got up in a daze, sitting obediently at the table and drinking the white fungus soup boiled by floating flowers. Lin Rufei touched his head, then he raised his small face and showed a cautious smile to Lin Rufei.
Seeing that the sun was about to set outside, Lin Rufei felt that the time was almost up, so she got up and planned to go out.
Seeing that he was going out, Fu Hua asked him what to do.
"Go and chat with the eldest son of the Fu family." Lin Rufei said, "You can have dinner with steamed buns, you don't have to wait for me."
Yurui pouted and said, "Then Fu Yu is so annoying, what does the son do to him?"
Lin Rufei smiled and said nothing, motioning Yurui to go into the house to accompany Fu Hua.
After leaving the yard, Lin Rufei asked the servants of the Fu family to find out where Fu Yu lived, and then walked over there slowly. On the way, I saw the youngest son in purple clothes sitting in the pavilion and playing with the maid again. It was funny to say that, the two met several times, but Lin Rufei still didn't know his name.
The servant who led the way was very discerning. Hearing Lin Rufei's question, he said that it was the young son of his family, whose name was Fu Xi.
Fu Xi... is a very festive name, Lin Rufei seems to be smiling but not smiling, but this name is very different from the person's pretending to be suave.
"Where is Young Master Lin going?" Seeing Lin Rufei, Fu Xi stopped his movements and approached him with the same enthusiasm as before.
Lin Rufei said, "Go find your brother."
Fu Xi said: "My brother...? What are you asking my brother for?"
Lin Rufei said, "Let's compare swords with him."
Fu Xi's expression froze, as if he didn't expect Lin Rufei to say such a sentence, he whispered, "What does Young Master Lin want my brother to do with his sword?"
Lin Rufei glanced at him and said seriously, "Swordsmen compete with swords, do you need a reason?"
No need, that's what the rules of the rivers and lakes are, especially since Lin Rufei is still an honored guest of their Fu family, Fu Yu has no reason to refuse.
After Lin Rufei said these words, she saw Fu Xi's expression changing rapidly, fear, worry, fear and doubt, but finally turned into a calmness wrapped in a sigh, he said, "It seems that the rain is about to fall." Said After smiling, she bowed her hands to Lin Rufei and said, "Then let's wish Young Master Lin a victory."
Lin Rufei said, "I accept your auspicious words."
The place where Fu Yu lived was in the middle of the Fu family's ancestral house, the one that looked the most exaggerated. From the outside, the house has thirteen floors, and each floor is decorated with beams and paintings, which is gorgeous and extraordinary.
The servant asked Lin Rufei to wait outside for a while, and then she went ahead and reported the letter to Fuyu. Taking advantage of this time, Lin Rufei carefully observed the building in front of her, and couldn't help frowning. .
Gu Xuandu looked at Lin Rufei's serious expression and couldn't help but smile: "Why does Xiao Jiu look like this?"
Lin Rufei said, "Don't you think this house is ugly?"
Gu Xuandu said: "Ugly? It's better than your wooden shield anyway."
Lin Rufei: "...Is the wooden shield okay?"
Gu Xuandu said solemnly, "This is definitely not acceptable."
Lin Rufei stopped talking, he knew that the senior really disliked the wooden shield, but it didn't matter, he was using it anyway.
The servant came out soon and said that the eldest son was already waiting in the room.
Lin Rufei stepped into it, and as soon as she entered the hall, she saw Fu Yu sitting in the middle, holding a soft concubine in her arms. The concubine Ji didn't feel embarrassed when she saw Lin Rufei. Instead, she threw an enchanting smile and called Young Master Lin softly.
"I wonder what's wrong with Young Master Lin?" Fu Yu looked at Lin Rufei.
Lin Rufei said, "I'll be leaving tomorrow."
Fu Yu's eyes lit up, thinking that Lin Rufei was talking about the steamed buns: "Young Master Lin will be leaving tomorrow? It would be inconvenient to bring the steamed buns here. I have many children, so I really don't care about my children, but With Young Master Lin's reminder, I will definitely treat buns well in the future."
Lin Rufei shook her head: "I'm not talking about buns."
Fu Yu had already stood up excitedly, but when he heard Lin Rufei's words, he sat back in the chair again, and said coldly, "Then why did you come here, Mr. Lin?"
Lin Rufei looked at him and said, "I'm here to compete with you."
Fu Yu's expression froze for a moment, and he said, "Young Master Lin... What did you say?"
Lin Rufei said, "I said, I will come to you to compare swords."
This is the first time that Lin Rufei has taken the initiative to find someone to compare swords. Before, whether it was Wang Hao or Liu Rugong, they all felt a bit forced, but at this moment, the person who proposed the sword comparison became Lin Ru. Fei.
A smile appeared on Fu Yu's face, but the smile looked extremely stiff. He said, "Why did Young Master Lin say this? Is it because our Fu family was not well entertained?"
Lin Rufei said, "Yes, it's because of your poor reception at the Fu family." Now that he has reached this point, he doesn't plan to give Fu Yu any more face. Besides, there are other reasons to say whether the person in front of him is Fu Yu. He raised his voice slightly. Lifting his chin, his words were cold and unfriendly, "I'm here to send the invitation to Mr. Fu Yu, since Mr. Fu has torn up the invitation without giving me face to the Lin family, I must have some skills. Since this is the case, I, Lin Rufei, will Let's take a look instead of the Lin family."
The invitation was just an excuse that Lin Rufei came up with at will, but this excuse was very suitable, so that Fu Yu had no chance to refuse.
Fu Yu's face was ashen, his whole body trembled slightly, and he said, "Why does Young Master Lin do this? Could it be because the Lin family is a wealthy family, so you have to use power to bully others?"
Bullying? Lin Rufei sipped this word and laughed suddenly. He has a gentle temperament, and he treats things like this to everyone. After more than 20 years of living, it was the first time he heard this word from someone else's mouth. Not only did he not feel annoyed, but he felt very fresh. After he laughed, he raised his eyes and looked at Fu Yu, and said slowly, "I, Lin Rufei, want to bully people today, what can you do to me?" Although he has a good temper, he is not a dough that anyone can knead. The Lin family has been spoiled as a baby for more than 20 years. Even if he uses the reputation of the Lin family outside to bully others, I am afraid that the brothers and sisters in the family will not only not be angry, but will be very happy.
Besides, the stern look of this person in front of him really made Lin Rufei feel uneasy. He waved to Fu Yu and said, "Eldest son of the Fu family, is there anything else you want to say? Let's talk together, so as not to wait. No chance for a while."
Fu Yu's throat moved slightly, and he forced himself to remain calm. He said, "Since Young Master Lin insists so much, it's not easy for me to refuse. It's just that I've been sick recently, can I take some time off?"
Lin Rufei said, "Is your body ill?"
Fu Yu said: "Yes."
Lin Rufei's eyes turned, and she smiled but not smiled: "If that's the case, of course I can understand."
Fu Yu was finally relieved when he heard the words, but before his anger subsided, he heard a sentence that pushed him into the abyss.
Lin Rufei said, "I just don't know, is it Fuyu or Fushui who is in trouble?"
Fu Yu's face changed greatly, as if he was hit by the word "Fu Shui" that Lin Rufei said, but he responded very quickly, and the next moment he put on a far-fetched smile, covering up his gaffe. He said, "What does Young Master Lin mean? That Fu Shui is an unfilial son, and our Fu family has long since removed him..."
Lin Ru Fei was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, she raised her hand and pulled out Gu Yu, pointing at the fake in front of her: "If you still want to call Fu Yu by the name - pull out the sword!"
Fu Yu's face was pale. He knew that Lin Rufei would definitely not give him a chance to delay. With trembling hands, he stroked the long sword around his waist with difficulty, and held the hilt tightly, but he never took the blade from the sword. Pulled out of the sheath.
At this time, all of Fu Yu's reactions had already given the answer to the question Lin Rufei wanted to know. He looked at the so-called swordsman who couldn't even draw his sword, and sneered and put Gu Yu back into the sheath: "Fu Shui, you Not worthy of my sword."
Fu Yu... No, Fu Shui's expression instantly became extremely ferocious. He looked at Lin Rufei resentfully and said, "Young Master Lin, don't talk nonsense, who is Fu Shui? I'm Fu Yu!"
Lin Rufei said, "You deserve it too?"
These three words completely angered Fu Shui, he let out a shrill roar, and he rushed towards Lin Rufei. Lin Rufei did not dodge or dodge, and without hesitation, took out the wood from her ring. The shield came to Fu Shui steadily and quickly. Fu Shui didn't expect Lin Rufei's action at all, and suddenly it was shot out like a broken kite, and smashed heavily on the wooden chair behind him, making a loud noise.
Lin Rufei touched her shield with satisfaction, but Gu Xuan, who was beside her, pinched the corners of her eyes with a headache—he really had to find a way to confiscate this wooden shield, otherwise Lin Rufei would probably walk on a strange path. the road of no return.
Lin Rufei was afraid of directly smashing Fu Shui to death, so she didn't use much sword energy, but Fu Shui still fainted. The concubine Ji next to her was so frightened that she huddled in the corner. When she saw this scene, she screamed in horror, turned around and ran out. Lin Rufei glanced at her, ignored her, and walked towards Fu Shui. past.
Fu Shui lay on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead, Lin Rufei sniffed his breath, and after confirming that he was still alive, she breathed a sigh of relief, and found a chair next to him and sat down, sighing, "Why are you being beaten like this... "He's got his strength.
Gu Xuandu said, "I told you to use a sword."
Lin Rufei didn't believe Gu Xuandu's nonsense. He said, "I used the shield and he passed out for so long. If I used the sword, wouldn't he be dead?"
Gu Xuan thought for a while: "If you die, you will die, it's no big deal."
Lin Rufei: "..." So you just don't want me to use a shield, right
There was too much movement between the two of them, and a lot of Fu's family members were surrounded outside the house. However, when these people saw Fu Shui's tragic state from outside the door, they all poked their heads at the door, looking like they wanted to enter but didn't dare.
Lin Rufei ignored them. Seeing that Fu Shui didn't seem to wake up at all, she simply stood up and squatted down, grabbed Fu Shui's collar and slapped him a few times in the face. Gu Xuandu was frightened by Lin Rufei's neat and slightly rude actions, and asked Lin Rufei who she learned from with his eyes wide open.
Lin Rufei said, "My third sister."
Gu Xuandu said: "This is not good, don't learn it in the future."
Lin Rufei said, "Then what if he doesn't wake up?"
Gu Xuan thought about it for a while, then rolled up his sleeves: "It's okay, you will watch later, I'll do it." He should have done this kind of rough work.
Lin Rufei couldn't help but smile and coughed a few times.
Fu Shui, who was slapped a few times by him, opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw Lin Rufei's face so close, he was stunned for a moment before he could react. Ru Fei grabbed the collar and pulled it back abruptly.
"Where are you going?" Lin Rufei asked casually.
However, Fu Shui started begging for mercy without the spine, and did not mention Fu Yu, but just begged Lin Rufei to give the Fu family a face and spare his life.
"Where's the fisherman?" Lin Rufei asked, "Why did you pretend to be him?"
"Fu Yu... Fu Yu... is already dead." Fu Shui shrank his neck, no longer arrogant and arrogant when we first met, but like a turtle without a shell, facing Lin Rufei's questioning, his voice was thin Ruo mosquito, "I don't want to, but the Fu family has such a swordsman. If he is gone, the Fu family will suffer too..."
Lin Rufei said, "Suffering? If you didn't offend anyone, would you be afraid of suffering?"
Pay water stoppage.
"Who set up the formation outside your Zhuangzi?" Lin Rufei asked a key question.
"It's my brother, it's my brother." Fu Shui replied tremblingly, "After setting up the formation, the others disappeared, so I pretended to be him."
Lin Rufei raised her hand and gave him a slap. With a slap, Fu Shui's face was slapped in the direction, and blood dripped from the corners of her mouth. When she looked back again, she couldn't hide the horror on her face, and even tears flowed from her eyes. When he fell down, he cried, "Why, what are you beating me for?"
Lin Rufei said with a gloomy expression: "I hit you? If you don't tell the truth, I not only beat you, I also took your dog's life, tell me honestly, what happened to Fu Yu and that formation, I You can still save your life, if not—" He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You should know that your life is worthless."
Listening to Lin Rufei's words, Fu Shui slowly lowered his head and sobbed loudly. He said, "I... I really... "
When he said this, he heard Lin Rufei tut softly, her whole body trembled like a sieve for a moment, and cried, "I said, I said, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
Only then did Lin Rufei show satisfaction, and she quietly cast a look at Gu Xuandu, as if saying, "Look, I'm amazing, this can make people cry. Gu Xuandu looked at his young master's smug look, and pressed his hand into a fist to his lips, hiding the smile on the corner of his mouth.
The author has something to say: Lin Rufei proudly raised her chest: I am amazing!
Gu Xuandu: Awesome
Lin Rufei: How did senior reward me
Gu Xuandu: Give you a big kiss!
