Looking at the shushu tree and the iron-gold walnut with its shimmering hair on it, Lin Rufei couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!"
He Wanxiang showed a proud look: "This is natural." He continued to explain, "This iron golden walnut cannot be picked by ordinary people, only the disciples who have practiced the Hejia Gongfa can, and not everyone has the opportunity. … Only those chosen by the Shushushu can pick the iron-gold walnuts.”
Lin Rufei asked curiously, "Your eldest brother took three off back then?"
"Yes." He Wanxiang said, "At that time, there were only three walnuts on the Shuji tree. My eldest brother was the first to pick them, but he picked them all in one go. Because of this, he suffered a lot from my father. Complain." When he said this, there was a deep smile in his eyes, "Said that I still have to give other disciples a chance to let them know-how useless I am."
Lin Rufei also laughed, the He family's style is flamboyant and wanton, and it doesn't look like a family that knows how to hide.
Just as Lin Rufei and He Wanxiang were talking, Gu Xuandu suddenly appeared and walked slowly into the courtyard. Lin Rufei was slightly startled when she saw this, but she couldn't say anything, she could only watch him gradually approaching the Xuyishu. The Shushushu seemed to sense his presence, and the leaves and branches began to shake slowly, as if excited. Gu Xuandu stopped in front of Xuyishu, stretched out his hand, lightly stroked the rough trunk, and sighed lowly, "Long time no see."
The Shushu tree moved, as if being blown by the wind, and the branches and leaves began to shake violently.
"What's going on!" He Wanxiang was taken aback by the appearance of Xu Yushu. There was no wind at this time, but Xu Yushu's appearance seemed to be passing through a gust of wind, and kept shaking.
Fortunately, the strangeness of the Suyi tree did not last long. Gu Xuandu was probably also afraid that it would be overreacting, so he turned around and left after touching it. Before leaving, he bent down and picked up a piece of Suyi tree that had fallen on the ground, and walked back slowly and leisurely. Lin Rufei's side. Due to the large number of people present, Lin Rufei couldn't even talk to Gu Xuandu. She just glanced at him and then looked away.
Seeing the Xuyi tree returning to its original state, He Wanxiang was relieved, touching his nose and worrying about whether the tree was comfortable and why it shook so much. Lin Rufei didn't dare to answer, she stood beside her and pretended not to know. Fortunately, He Wanxiang didn't get too entangled in this matter.
A few people walked around the ancestral hall again, and saw that it was time for dinner.
He Wanxiang led Lin Rufei to a large wooden house nearby. Before entering, Lin Rufei could smell the strong aroma of wine coming from the house.
"Lin Gongzi, my father and brothers are rough people. If there is anything you are not used to, you can say it." He Wanxiang said somewhat euphemistically, "Don't wrong yourself."
Lin Rufei nodded and said yes.
"Also..." He Wanxiang coughed dryly, "They like to drink, and the wine is not very good."
Lin Rufei suddenly said, "My health has not been very good since I was a child, so I can only drink."
"It's okay, it's okay." He Wanxiang waved his hand, "Young Master Lin is an honored guest, and we won't force it if you can't drink. Just follow your own temperament, you don't need to accommodate us."
As he spoke, he opened the wooden door, revealing the scene inside the house.
Lin Rufei only glanced at it and was shocked by the situation in the room. I saw a few tall, powerful men sitting around a large round table. On the table was a huge roasted whole sheep. In front of each big man, there was a face-sized Round bowl, the round bowl has been filled with wine. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the big men turned their heads one after another and turned their eyes to Lin Rufei. There was curiosity and scrutiny in these eyes, which forced Lin Rufei to have the illusion that she was being targeted by a pack of wolves.
"Young Master Lin!" One of the big men with gray hair stood up and waved at Lin Rufei enthusiastically, "Come here, come here!"
He Wanxiang introduced: "This is my father."
He Wanxiang's father's name is He Jitian. Like his name, he is a very domineering person. He is the head of any family in this family, and He Zhiyi is also his son.
Lin Rufei walked to He Jitian's side, bowed, and said, "I have long admired the name of the head of the He family."
"Don't! Don't be so polite! I have a good relationship with your father, you can just call me uncle." He Jitian said, "You have come from a long way, you are a distinguished guest of our He family, sit down!" Location.
Lin Rufei said to her uncle and sat down slowly. After sitting down, she found that there were densely packed wine jars under the table. Judging from the number, it was astonishing.
He Jitian also sat down, and by the way introduced Lin Rufei to the people at the table, Lin Rufei finally met the long-known He Jiyi. Like He Wanxiang, He Jiyi also has a sturdy figure, but his appearance and name are very different, he is very rough, and there are a few hideous old wounds on his face. At first glance, he looks like a sturdy man. Mountain bandit.
It was probably He Wanxiang who greeted people in advance, and several people on the table wanted to squeeze out a kind smile, but this smile was inappropriate on their faces, it was a bit of a smirk. . Lin Rufei was horrified by their laughter, and hurriedly said, "Just follow the way you usually come!"
"Look at you!" He Jitian slapped the table and said angrily, "I told you all to smile kindly, look at your bird, can't you smile? Is your face cramped or what? If you don't know this, you think you're going to kill people and set fire to them!"
All the big men on the table showed pain.
Lin Rufei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained that she really didn't need to be so polite.
After He Jitian repeatedly confirmed that Lin Rufei really didn't care, he breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "Nephew Lin, our family are all rough people, and you must speak out if you are not well entertained. "
"Okay, okay." Lin Rufei could only say okay.
The He family did come and go straight, and after a few simple words of courtesy, the meal started. The huge roast lamb in front of him is really eye-catching. The lamb was only roasted. It was covered with all kinds of spices, and the aroma of the fat and oil that belonged to the meat kept coming out. He Jitian picked up the meat dividing knife, divided the roasted whole lamb into several parts with three strokes and five divisions, and then placed the best chunk of lamb chops on the iron plate in front of Lin Rufei.
Lin Rufei was stunned at the lamb chops that were bigger than his upper body, and said, "Uncle He! This is too much, I can't finish it."
"Can't finish it?" He Jitian was stunned, "Don't be polite to us, there's one roasted outside."
"I really can't finish it." According to Lin Rufei's usual food intake, he would be full after eating two or three lamb chops.
He Jitian was still in disbelief: "I really can't finish it?"
Lin Rufei showed helplessness: "...Really."
He Jitian finally believed it, raised his hand and cut a small piece, but still kept most of it on Lin Rufei's plate. Lin Rufei hesitated, and finally decided not to say it. Heaven's expression, if you say that you can't eat it, it means that you don't give the He family face.
The sheep seemed to weigh more than 100 pounds. Including Lin Rufei, there were seven people in total. After He Jitian divided the mutton, everyone ate the mutton. Lin Rufei tasted a piece and felt that the taste was indeed very good. . Although this sheep is big, its taste is very tender. The outside is crispy and wrapped in a layer of rich dipping sauce. The meat inside is soft and juicy, especially the fat and thin parts, which are extraordinarily fragrant. Lin Rufei also followed their example and started to use it, but she couldn't chew it a bit. In the end, He Wanxiang handed him a small knife and motioned him to use it to cut the flesh.
After the meat was eaten, the wine began to drink. He Jitian probably greeted the people at the table in advance. No one forced a toast to Lin Rufei, and everyone was very easy-going. He Jitian asked Lin Rufei about the Kunlun Mountains, Lin Rufei replied, the atmosphere was not bad.
The more wine you drank, the better the atmosphere at the table. He Jitian was worried that children like Lin Rufei would not be used to their way of eating, but seeing that Lin Rufei had no air, he gradually let go. . Lin Rufei chewed the mutton, and took a sip from the face-sized wine bowl. The pale face immediately turned bright red, and she couldn't help coughing a few times. This is the strongest wine Lin Rufei has ever drank, but although it is strong, it tastes very good, with a mellow taste and a long-lasting sweetness.
Lin Rufei had never eaten such a lively meal before, and the He family was so happy to drink it. They didn't have the beginnings. Some people cut meat, some people chatted, and some people even happily talked about meat jokes, but the jokes just said it. When it was over, He Jitian was hit with a head, and he was glared at him fiercely. The man was a little stunned when he was knocked, until he saw his father's unkind eyes, he immediately woke up, and said embarrassingly: "Lin Gongzi, don't mind, I, I'm used to talking about meat and jokes..."
Lin Rufei couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's okay, it's lustful."
Eating big pieces of meat and drinking big mouthfuls of alcohol, Lin Rufei truly realized what the rivers and lakes are. I have to say that he really loved the lively atmosphere of the He family.
One jar of wine, a slight intoxication began to spread on the table, and the crowd spread more and more openly, and Lin Rufei also drank a little too much. Someone grabbed his shoulders and asked Lin Bianyu how he was doing. When he turned his head, he saw what he meant.
"Okay, my brother is doing very well." Lin Rufei said, "This year's sword club is the first again."
"That's why I didn't go!" He Shuyi said, "Next time, when I go, this will be me first!" He patted his chest as he spoke.
I don't know if she drank too much, but Lin Rufei spoke without any scruples, she shook her head with eyes wide open: "No, you are definitely not number one, my second brother is the most powerful."
"You let it go—" He Zhiyi seemed to want to swear, and finally swallowed it abruptly, "Don't worry, I lost to your second brother a few years ago because I haven't mastered my practice yet, and now, I'm no longer Me years ago!"
"My second brother is not the second brother from a few years ago!" Lin Rufei heard someone speak ill of her second brother, "You can't win!"
"I can win!"
"you can not!"
"I'm sure I can—"
"You sure can't—"
It seemed that the children were arguing. The more they talked, the more vigorous they were. They quarreled while drinking. He Wanxiang originally wanted to persuade a few words, but was slapped away by He Jiyi, saying that adults are talking about things, children should not come to join in. Lin Rufei also raised her head, nodded and said vaguely, "Yes, yes, yes, this is the matter of the adults, and today we must distinguish between right and wrong.
Watching this scene, He Wanxiang really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was worried that Lin Rufei would not be used to this kind of atmosphere. Who knew he would adapt to it better than anyone else. After a few rounds of drinking, he had already shrugged shoulders with He Zhiyi and called him a brother. . But watching the two of them talk more and more fiercely, it makes people inexplicably worried. After all, his elder brother He Xianyi's wine is really not very good.
Lin Rufei was also stunned. The bowls of wine were full. In the end, her consciousness was completely blurred. She only vaguely remembered that she seemed to be fighting fiercely with He Jiyi. As for whether there was a result, I don't know. …
The next day, Lin Rufei woke up with a splitting headache. He opened his eyes with difficulty, covered his head and let out a faint moan: "Ah... my head hurts, my head hurts..." After saying this, he said: Feeling that his head was gently picked up and placed on someone's lap, he gently kneaded it. When he looked up, he saw Gu Xuandu's helpless expression.
"Do you still drink like this when you know you will have a headache?" Gu Xuandu said.
"I don't want to either." Lin Rufei narrowed her eyes comfortably, like a lazy cat, "The atmosphere is so good, I drank too much before I knew it." Yes, "Hey... Why does my body hurt so much?"
Gu Xuandu said helplessly, "Don't you remember?"
Lin Rufei said blankly, "Remember what?"
Gu Xuandu: "..."
Lin Rufei felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "What happened? I drank too much, and I don't remember anything."
Gu Xuandu reached out and hugged Lin Rufei. Before Lin Rufei could protest, Gu Xuandu took her to the window and said, "See for yourself."
Lin Rufei looked out of the window in a confused manner, and was instantly stunned by the situation outside, only to see that almost all the wooden houses were turned into wrecks outside, as if they were crushed by a giant beast. But fortunately, the house is all made of wood. Even if it is damaged, it can be rebuilt very quickly. It's just what happened to make it look like this.
Lin Rufei looked up at Gu Xuandu.
Gu Xuandu said, "What do you see me doing?"
Lin Rufei had a premonition, but she still held a glimmer of hope, blinking her eyes and whispering, "It's nothing to do with me, right?"
"What do you think?" Gu Xuandu put Lin Rufei back on the bed again, and said sullenly, "Who do you think has something to do with?"
Lin Rufei shrank her neck: "This...Is this really what I did?"
Gu Xuandu said, "It's not you."
Lin Rufei was about to let out a sigh of relief when Gu Xuandu added, "You and He Jiyi did it together."
Lin Rufei: "..."
Gu Xuandu pressed the hand on Lin Rufei's temple slightly harder, and Lin Rufei hissed in pain: "Lighten... Senior lighten..."
Gu Xuan tutted, and seemed very dissatisfied, Lin Rufei thought he was angry about her fight with He Zhiyi, who knew that Gu Xuan whispered: "It was useless when you fought yesterday. sword."
Lin Rufei: "..."
"You used a black wooden shield." Gu Xuandu's tone was almost gnashing his teeth, "Xiao Jiu, don't you want to say something? I've taught you swordsmanship for so long—"
Lin Rufei suddenly felt guilty, and smirked: "Am I drinking too much?"
Gu Xuandu: "Tell the truth after drinking."
Lin Rufei: "..."
Gu Xuandu: "Do you have any opinion on Gu Yu?" Following Gu Xuandu's words, Lin Rufei's saber hanging by the bed kept humming, and Lin Rufei could only hear a little grievance from it. The taste comes.
Lin Rufei's eyes flashed, she weakly covered her head, and said pitifully, "Senior, my head hurts so much."
Gu Xuandu: "..."
"It hurts very much." Lin Rufei looked at Gu Xuandu eagerly.
Gu Xuandu sighed and said, "That's all." He didn't care about Lin Rufei anymore, and slowly continued to rub it for Lin Rufei.
Lin Rufei let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that it is better to use this method since childhood. When he didn't want to drink medicine in Kunlun before, he would use this expression to deal with maids or brothers and sisters, unless it was a disease. The problem is particularly serious, and this method is almost tried and tested.
Gu Xuan pressed Lin Rufei for a long time, Lin Rufei almost fell asleep comfortably, but heard the voice of floating flowers outside: "Are you awake, young master?"
"Hmm..." Lin Rufei responded.
"Master, I made you sober soup." Fu Hua came in with the soup medicine.
"Why is your face so bad." Fu Hua was a little worried, "Is it a headache?"
"It hurts badly." Lin Rufei said, "How did I get back last night?"
Fu Hua said: "Yes... He Wanxiang sent you back." She coughed dryly, "Young master, don't you remember what happened last night?"
Lin Rufei shook her head.
Fu Hua briefly told Lin Rufei what happened last night. Lin Rufei and He Jiyi were both drunk. The two were arguing endlessly about who was the best between Jiji and Lin Bianyu. Who knew they would fight and fight, and the fight was so earth-shattering that the entire He family was almost torn down. . Later, the two of them finally got tired and sat on the ground to rest. This guy He Jiyi started to attack Lin Rufei with swear words, but Lin Rufei was powerless to fight back. In the end, when he got angry, he grabbed He Jiyi and beat him again. meal.
Lin Rufei was stunned, she couldn't imagine the scene described by the floating flowers.
"But in the end, the young master won! Then He Zhiyi was knocked unconscious by you with a wooden shield." Seeing Lin Rufei's stunned expression, Fu Hua hurriedly comforted her, "But you still walked back! "
Lin Rufei fell into a long silence.
"Then... Master, do you want to drink some hangover soup first?" Fu Hua asked.
"Drink some." Lin Rufei said quietly, "It's better to wake up early."
Fu Hua couldn't help but laugh. On weekdays, Lin Rufei rarely drinks, let alone drunk. Even if she is drunk, most of them are only slightly drunk. How could there be such a big battle last night, but for some reason, Fu Hua looked at Lin Ru who was drinking and making trouble. Fei, however, gave birth to a sense of relief that her own child would finally grow up and cause trouble.
Lin Rufei was naturally unaware of the strange mood of her maid at this time. He was thinking about how to apologize to the He family when there was a knock on the door.
"Master, Master, are you awake?" Yurui put her head in and came in, "Vientiane is here to find you."
Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Yesterday it was Mr. He, but today it has become Vientiane?"
Yurui's cheeks instantly blushed, and she said angrily, "Young master, don't make fun of me!"
Lin Rufei sighed and said, "Oh, the little girl has grown up, so the young master is not allowed to joke around."
Yurui snorted, turned around and called He Wanxiang in.
After He Wanxiang entered the room, he saw Lin Rufei lying on the bed, and called out to Young Master Lin with a smile.
"Young Master He, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect my wine to be so bad." Lin Rufei said ashamed, "Broken so many houses in your house..." As she spoke, she coughed, her thin shoulders He kept shaking, as if he was about to lose his breath in the next moment.
If He Wanxiang saw Lin Rufei like this before, he would probably think that his body was too weak, but after what happened last night, He Wanxiang discovered that Lin Rufei was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. He saw with his own eyes the fight between Lin Rufei and He Zhiyi. The weapons and moves that Lin Rufei used were very strange. He had almost never seen them before, but with these strange moves, he was able to fight with his eldest brother. of intractable. And in the end, he actually knocked He Jiyi unconscious with a shield. Although it could be seen that He Jiyi didn't use all his strength, it was enough to surprise He Wanxiang.
"Young Master Lin doesn't have to feel guilty, our He family has long been used to it." He Wanxiang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Otherwise, we wouldn't all live in wooden houses, as long as the ancestral hall is not damaged, even if Young Master Lin destroys the entire He Jiayi For the sake of the land, we won't mind." In fact, not only would they not mind, but they would respect this guest even more. After all, the He family wanted to come here to respect martial arts, but it was Lin Rufei's weak image at the beginning. Not so popular.
Lin Rufei was relieved when she saw that He Wanxiang didn't really want to blame him on his face. On the first day he came to his house, he demolished his house. Elsewhere, they may have been invited out long ago.
"How is your brother now?" Lin Rufei remembered Fu Hua's words, did he really knock He Shiyi into a daze
"Well... I should be awake now." He Wanxiang said, "Does Mr. Lin want to take a look?"
"Look, look." Lin Rufei nodded quickly.
"Then I'll take you there." He Wanxiang said, "He originally lived next to Young Master Lin, but yesterday he destroyed his house and could only make do with my father for one night."
After Lin Rufei took a simple shower, she changed her clothes and went to He Xiyi with He Wanxiang. When he entered the door, he saw He Xiayi pitifully lying on the bench in the living room, uttering a desolate moan. Compared with Lin Rufei's treatment when someone else gave her a massage and someone gave him sober soup, it was very miserable. No one in the house, whether the servants or the family members, looked at him at all, and almost all regarded him as air.
Seeing that Lin Rufei was a little surprised, He Wanxiang explained, "My brother likes to drink, so he often hangs over, and my family is used to it."
When He Zhiyi saw them coming, he was about to lie dead, but he immediately sat up and waved at Lin Rufei, his voice sounded a little shy at first: "Young Master Lin, you are here, Come on, come in and play."
Lin Rufei: "..." Why does it sound a little wrong to you
"Oh, why does my head hurt so much." He Zhiyi muttered, "Did I drink too much? But I drank too much before... Alas..." He thought he was suffering from a hangover headache, but in fact the dazzling red envelope on his forehead was very Conspicuous.
Lin Rufei felt even more guilty, and at the warm invitation of He Xiyi, she slowly walked up to him and said a few warm words.
He Zhiyi didn't realize that his headache had anything to do with Lin Rufei, he patted Lin Rufei's shoulder vigorously, and said, "Young Master Lin, you're so secretive, I thought you didn't know how to use the sword, didn't you? Think of the sword intent being so fierce!"
Lin Rufei said, "Where is it?"
He Shiyi said, "That's why you don't use a sword?"
Lin Rufei: "..." It's okay not to mention it, as soon as he mentioned it, he felt that Gu Xuan next to him gave him a bad look.
Lin Rufei said sternly, "Just... drink too much."
"Oh." He Jiyi nodded thoughtfully, and said that the shield is so good, the sword must be more powerful.
Faced with Gu Xuandu's thorn-like gaze, Lin Rufei didn't dare to say a word, and the smile on her face was almost unstoppable.
The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: Why not use a sword! ! !
Lin Rufei: Because you don't want to be a... swordsman
Gu Xuandu: …
