He Zhiyi, with the big big bag on his head, chatted with Lin Rufei for a long time. From what kind of wine Lin Rufei likes to what kind of food Lin Rufei likes, the two of them chatted more and more speculatively and talked about excitement. He Zhiyi simply wanted to get up from the bed and have a drink with Lin Rufei.
Fortunately, although He Jiyi is not a reliable brother, as a younger brother, He Wanxiang is still very calm. Seeing that his brother wants to jump up, he grabs his brother by the shoulder and presses him back abruptly: " Young Master Lin's head hurts too, so you can let them go."
Lin Rufei was busy and said that her head also hurt.
"Oh, then forget it." He Wanxiang said with a regretful expression, "I still think that Young Master Lin has a good amount of alcohol, and I haven't had such a good time drinking it for a long time."
Lin Rufei heard him boast that she was good at drinking, and said sternly, "How does Young Master He see that... I am good at drinking?"
He Wanxiang scratched his head: "I've almost never been drunk. Since Young Master Lin can make me dizzy, it must be a good drink."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Rufei and He Wanxiang both stared at the bag on He Zhiyi's head and remained silent for a moment, but they didn't say anything in tacit understanding, but changed the subject, Lin Rufei stared stiffly at the hot outside Sunshine said that the weather is good today, and it is a good day to sleep. Since Mr. He has a headache, he should take a good rest first, he will not bother. Lin Rufei and He Wanxiang slipped out without waiting for He Xieyi to speak out.
After leaving the house, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
He Wanxiang shook his head and said, "My brother... Hahahaha."
Lin Rufei also smiled and said that He Jiyi was an interesting person, no, to be precise, the whole He family was very interesting.
The two were chatting and walking out, but heard the sound of clattering horses' hooves. Lin Rufei looked for her reputation, but saw a man galloping past, heading for the residence of the head of the He family. When this man entered Hejiabao, he didn't slow down or plan to dismount. Lin Rufei also noticed that after seeing the man, He Wanxiang's expression changed slightly, as if he was a little indifferent.
During these days with He Wanxiang, Lin Rufei had never seen such a negative expression on his face. But He Wanxiang didn't mention it, and he didn't ask questions.
The two were about to leave, but a fierce quarrel broke out behind them. Lin Rufei turned to look and saw that the man who was galloping just now was stopped by the servants of the He family. , is your family so desperate for help!"
"The head of the house has something to do." The servant reached out to stop him, "Sir, please come back."
"Is something wrong? Why is there something wrong?" The man said angrily, "I think he just doesn't want to see me!"
The servant didn't speak, just stared at him so coldly.
Seeing that the servant did not intend to let go, the man looked around, and his eyes fell on Lin Rufei and He Wanxiang. Lin Rufei secretly said that it was not good, and sure enough, the man rushed in front of them in a few steps and said, "I recognize it. You, you are He Jitian's son, He Wanxiang, right!!"
He Wanxiang didn't answer, folded his arms around his chest, and returned an indifferent look.
The man was stared at by He Wanxiang for a moment, but he quickly gathered up his courage and said loudly: "What's going on with your He family, there are demons eating people on the road, you don't care!"
He Wanxiang said: "I can't control this, you can go to my father."
"If I could find it, I would definitely have found it long ago, but your father refuses to see me!" The man was indignant, "That monster has eaten so many people!"
He Wanxiang tilted his head and said, "I didn't eat it, why are you yelling at me?"
The man was choked to death by He Wanxiang's words. He wanted to say something, but He Wanxiang waved his hand and said impatiently, "Go to my father if you have anything. I can't control that much." After speaking, he turned around. He left without giving him another chance to speak.
Lin Rufei also followed behind He Wanxiang. Before leaving, she noticed that the man twisted again and continued to entangle with the servant. It seemed that he would see the head of the He family no matter what.
He Wanxiang sighed and said, "Don't be surprised, Young Master Lin, it's not that our He family doesn't want to take care of it, but it's really complicated."
Lin Rufei said, "You mean the demons on the official road?"
"That's right." He Wanxiang said, "I got news earlier that there are several demons in the three realms on the official road, and the He family sent people over. Who knew that the demons had more than three realms, and they beat the disciples of the He family. Seriously injured." He said this in a gloomy tone.
From time to time, demons from the Bie Continent flock to Yaoguang, and it is common for monks to subdue demons and eliminate demons. However, the demons are strong and strong, and the cultivation of the three realms can already be worth the five realms of human monks. Fortunately, it is not easy to cultivate demons, and the number is very small, otherwise human beings may have been destroyed long ago.
"More than three realms? How much is that?" Lin Rufei was a little surprised.
"I don't know, my father didn't say it." He Wanxiang touched his nose and hesitated, "But my father told us not to get involved in this matter, saying that he would deal with it, so I don't know exactly how."
Lin Rufei showed a thoughtful look.
"Forget it." He Wanxiang said, "Young Master Lin, you don't look very good, do you want to go back to rest first?"
Lin Rufei nodded and said yes, his head is still aching, and it would be best to rest for a while.
So He Wanxiang took him back to his residence and told him to rest well before leaving.
Lin Rufei ate something casually to pad her stomach, then lay back on the bed, chatting with Gu Xuan, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Gu Xuandu stared at Lin Rufei's sleeping face for a long time. After confirming that he was asleep, he slowly got up and flew out of the window.
After sleeping for a long time, Lin Rufei thought it should be dark when she woke up, but when she saw that it was still bright outside, she dazedly called Fu Hua and asked her what time it was.
"Young master, it's time for your son." Fu Hua responded, "Young master is hungry, do you want to get up and eat something?"
Lin Rufei asked curiously, "It's time??" He sat up on the bed and looked out of the bright window, thinking that he was having an illusion, "How come it's not dark at all."
"I don't know, it seems that something is glowing." Fu Hua said, "It has been lit since the evening. At first we thought it was He's house lighting a bonfire, but after taking a closer look, we felt that the bonfire was not like this. ."
Lin Rufei walked to the window and looked carefully, only to realize that the golden light was coming from the room of the He Family's ancestral hall. The light showed a pure golden color, which was completely different from ordinary firelight. Reminds me of the color of the sun. At this time, it was already Zi Shi, but because of this light, the entire sky was illuminated, just like daytime.
Lin Rufei said, "I'll go out and have a look."
As he spoke, he changed his clothes and headed towards the light. This light really came from the ancestral hall. At this moment, there were many He family members gathered outside the ancestral hall, but their faces were not afraid, but full of excitement, and they were discussing something in a fierce tone. After hearing a few words, Lin Rufei vaguely understood what had happened. It turned out that the Shushu tree in the ancestral hall bore fruit, and more than a hundred iron-gold walnuts were formed in one breath. The golden light emitted by the iron-gold walnuts illuminated the entire He family as if it were daylight, and attracted everyone's attention.
"Why is Young Master Lin here?" Being tapped on the shoulder, Lin Rufei turned her head and saw He Freehand.
He Zhiyi still had the huge red envelope on his head, and was standing beside him watching the excitement.
Lin Rufei said, "Oh, when I woke up and saw this light, I thought of coming over to have a look."
"It's the walnut tree that bears fruit." He Zhiyi explained, "Will Vientiane take you in to see the Shuyu tree?"
"I've seen it." Lin Rufei nodded.
"That's good." He Zhiyi said with a smile, "Just take one more look."
"How do you say it?" Lin Rufei felt that He Xieyi had something to say.
"Hmm..." He Shiyi said, "things must decline at the extremes?" He put his arms around Lin Rufei's shoulders again, and said if he wanted to go in and take a look, there's really not much you can see of this walnut tree. Since Lin Rufei happened to be a guest at his house, that was her fate.
Lin Rufei asked, "Is it convenient?" He always felt that this was a private matter of the He family, and that he was an outsider after all.
"What's the matter?" He Shiyi said indifferently, "Anyway, you can't take it off. It's good to show you two more eyes and make you envious."
Lin Rufei couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes."
He Zhiyi led Lin Rufei into the ancestral hall. Although the guards did not know Lin Rufei, they still knew about He Zhiyi, so no one stopped him. The two entered the backyard of the ancestral hall unimpeded. Lin Rufei saw many He family members, as well as He Jitian standing in the middle of the crowd.
Compared with He Xiyi's bland expression, most of the He family members were extremely excited at this time, eager to try. He Jitian was talking to them, but Lin Rufei couldn't hear it clearly because he was far away.
He Zhiyi said, "Don't worry about them, let's look at the walnut tree." Then he dragged Lin Rufei into the backyard.
As soon as he entered the yard, Lin Rufei's eyes saw the incomparably eye-catching Shushu tree. At this time, the Shuji tree was covered with dense iron-gold walnuts. The golden dark lines that were only densely covered on the trunk before had spread to every leaf. These dark lines made the Shuji tree emit a beautiful golden light. The living thing is like an exquisite sculpture, beautiful to the extreme. The most amazing thing is that this golden light is not dazzling, but very soft, making people unable to look away.
He Zhiyi looked at it with relish, saying that it was really worth it to see the Xuyishu in his life.
Lin Rufei murmured, "Why do you suddenly have tuberculosis?"
He Zhiyi glanced at Lin Rufei: "Maybe... met someone you like?"
Lin Rufei smiled and said, "That must be something I really like."
"Mmmm." He Zhiyi nodded.
The two of them looked at the walnut, and the He family was already eager to try it. He Wanxiang appeared out of nowhere, and stretched it to Lin Rufei's shoulder, "Lin Gongzi, why are you here with my brother."
Lin Rufei was taken aback by what he filmed, and only after hearing his voice did she show helplessness: "The eldest son said to bring me in to see walnuts." He found that the He family liked to say hello like this, and they didn't call anyone. I patted my shoulders first and then said, the better the relationship is, I just put my arms around my neck.
"Oh." He joked, "isn't it nice?"
"It looks good." He Jiyi nodded.
The two brothers were obsessed with walnuts, watching with relish, and occasionally commented on which walnut was bigger, and it definitely tasted good.
"I've never eaten such delicious walnuts in my life." As the only person in the He family's generation who has eaten iron-gold walnuts, He Zhiyi is now teaching his experience to his younger brother, "You will pick them later. Remember to choose a big one with plenty of meat.”
He Wanxiang said, "Okay!"
"I think the one in the upper left corner is very big." He Zhiyi slapped his mouth, "Quick, go find a front position, don't be preempted by others."
He Wanxiang nodded, greeted Lin Rufei and turned away.
Lin Rufei said, "Aren't you going?"
"Me? I'm not going." He Zhiyi said, "I have eaten three, enough."
He said it so indifferently, which made Lin Rufei look at him with admiration. Everyone knows the usefulness of this walnut. Naturally, the more the better, the more you are, the better. Someone dared to bet. But he showed little interest, and acted as a spectator with Lin Rufei.
Here, Lin Rufei and He Jiyi were talking, and over there, the He family had already started to line up to pick walnuts.
Looking at such a group of big men, while excitedly queuing up carefully, there is indeed a sense of joy. Lin Rufei also saw He Jitian who was standing outside the crowd to maintain order, but he was surprised that He Jitian's expression was not too happy, but more dull. The writing is somewhat similar.
Finally, the first He family walked to the Shushu tree and reached out to touch the first iron-gold walnut.
Everyone watched with bated breath, Lin Rufei was also moved by the atmosphere and became a little nervous. It's just that when the man's hand grabbed the walnut, the iron-gold walnut that seemed to be crumbling and about to bend over the branches didn't move at all. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pick it off.
There was a roar of regret in the crowd, and the man raised his hand and tried two more, but the result still did not change. So he let out a long sigh and turned away in dejection.
"It's a pity." Lin Rufei also felt very regretful and sighed.
He Xiyi shook his head and said, "You can't force anything." He was open to it.
The He family walked towards the Shushushu one by one. Unless they could pick walnuts, everyone could only try it three times. The golden walnut tree is simply irresistible to the temptation. If you say that you have only two or three in the past year, you can blame yourself for your bad luck. It is really a pity that you can't pick up these hundreds of iron-gold walnuts. .
"The year I picked, I was lucky." Seeing his family members returning home one by one, He Shuyi casually talked about the events of that year, "I was the biggest one, so I was the first one to go, and there were three walnuts back then. , I picked it three times, and I picked all of them." He paused for a moment and continued, "The rest of the people don't even have the chance to touch the walnut, you know, this kind of thing, although everyone talks about it. Don't say it, but there will be grudges in my heart..."
After all, they have been deprived of even the chance to try, and it is normal to be unhappy. Lin Rufei can understand their feelings.
"But fortunately, the tree soon bears six more walnuts." He Zhiyi said, "This is actually a very strange thing. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a few decades for the tree to bear fruit again, but this time , but it hasn't been ten years. Just this spring, six babies were born. Everyone in the clan is happy, only my father thinks it's not good. I didn't understand it at first, but today I understand it. "
"What do you understand?" Lin Rufei looked at him.
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." He Zhiyi said, "The He family has prospered for a hundred years by relying on this tree, and it seems that in the days to come, we will have to find another way out."
What he said was plain, but also had some regret. Lin Rufei heard the meaning of his words and showed some surprise.
"Don't worry so much." He Jiyi put his arms around Lin Rufei's shoulders again, and said carelessly, "Can a person be suffocated to death by urine?"
"Yes." Lin Rufei also smiled.
Before she knew it, the walnut pickers had already gone halfway, but they didn't pick a single walnut. Lin Rufei finally saw He Wanxiang. He Wanxiang's expression was solemn, and he could see that he was a little nervous. He took a deep breath, walked slowly to the Shuyushu, slowly stretched out his hand, and held the first walnut. Everyone's eyes fell on He Wanxiang's body, watching him exert a little force, and with a click, the walnut fell in response, and easily entered his palm.
"Oh!!!!" The people present cheered violently. Seeing that someone finally picked the walnuts, everyone was about to jump for joy.
"Good boy!" He Zhiyi looked at his younger brother who was the first to successfully pick walnuts, showing ecstasy, and said, "Have vision, and indeed picked the most meat!"
Lin Rufei was suddenly dumbfounded, thinking that your He family is too real.
He Wanxiang looked at the walnut in his hand and was ecstatic. He carefully put it into his pocket, took a deep breath, and reached out to the second walnut. This time, he still took it off without any twists and turns, followed by the third and fourth. When he picked the fifth, there was no other sound present, and everyone held their breath. , looked at He Wanxiang nervously.
However, his luck came to an end when he picked the sixth walnut. No matter how hard He Wanxiang tried, it still remained motionless. Even if He Wanxiang had a blue vein on his forehead due to too much force, it would still stay still, as if it was cast iron. the general.
Seeing this scene, He Wanxiang could only choose to give up, but his bulging pockets were telling everyone that his harvest was enough.
"Huh... I didn't see that this kid is really hiding!" He Jieyi stared at himself He Wanxiang with gleaming eyes, "Maybe what they said was right, I did block their chance."
Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Don't think so. After all, if he also picked walnuts back then, he wouldn't have this chance today." Misfortune and good fortune depend on good fortune and bad fortune lie in it, good fortune and bad fortune, who can say Clearly.
After picking walnuts, He Wanxiang calmly left the crowd, walked to them, and said solemnly, "Brother, I picked five!"
"I see! It's my good brother!" He Zhiyi patted He Wanxiang on the shoulder.
He Wanxiang said, "Brother, I picked five pieces!!"
He Zhiyi said: "I see..."
He Wanxiang said, "Brother, I picked five pieces!!"
He Zhiyi looked suspicious, and finally felt that something was wrong with his younger brother, so he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of He Zhiyi, but he saw He Wanxiang didn't blink, and said it again in the same tone: "Brother... "
It's just that before he could finish speaking, he was hit by He Xiyi's hand knife and fainted.
Lin Rufei was stunned by this development: "This..."
"It's okay." He Jiyi waved his hands calmly, "This is too exciting, just sleep." After speaking, he threw He Wanxiang's body directly to his feet, and stepped on the other foot. On He Wanxiang's pocket, Dao, explained: "Prevent others from stealing his walnuts."
Lin Rufei: "..." The way you two brothers care about each other is really strange.
Here, He Wanxiang was slapped unconscious by He Jiyi's slap in front of everyone's eyes, but no one was surprised. Everyone's attention was on the tree in front of him. With the beginning of He Wanxiang, everyone's lost confidence was picked up again, and they continued to stare at the tree with staring eyes like a hungry wolf. Keep an eye on a few walnuts.
But some things can't be done just by thinking. In the remaining He family, only one person picked one, and until the last person tried it, there was no gain. It's like these more than 100 walnuts are not born for their family.
Seeing this scene, the people present showed regret.
However, at this moment, He Jitian, who had been standing beside him in silence, suddenly appeared. He looked at a shovel and walked slowly to the side of the Shushu tree. It was probably because his movements and expressions were too natural, and everyone didn't react, knowing that he dug directly into the root of the Shushu tree with a shovel and began to shovel the soil hard.
"Patriarch, what are you doing!!!"
"Dad, what are you doing!!"
After seeing He Jitian's actions, the He family members were all terrified, but probably because He Jitian was very active on weekdays, no one dared to step forward to stop him.
He Jitian raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead and explained, "Actually, there is something I have never told you about." Inherit an ancestral lesson about the Xuyishu."
"What ancestral training?" Everyone looked at his actions and had a bad feeling in their hearts.
"It's the agreement between our ancestors and Tianjun." He Jitian said, "In those days, Tianjun gave the He family a tree to protect the He family's prosperity for a hundred years. At the same time, he also set a rule with the He family." His voice was not clear. It's big, but everyone present can hear it clearly, "That is, when a certain day, a hundred iron-gold walnuts will grow on the tree, you must cut off its roots, and then take out the things under the tree."
Everyone was dumbfounded. Some people still refused to believe it. They wanted to persuade He Jitian not to do this. After all, if the He family could get so many iron-gold walnuts, how many experts would they have.
In the face of this man's doubts, He Jitian only asked one question, he said, "Can you take it off?"
The crowd was speechless.
"Have you tried it just now?" He Jitian said, "I have already made an exception for you, and let you try one by one. What's the result?" He said lightly, "Isn't it better to just take off the six belonging to the He family? ?"
At this time, the tree is still full of fruit, and the iron and gold walnuts are brilliant and bright like stars.
There was silence in the field.
He Jitian said: "I know your thoughts, but there are some things that people with poor fortune can't pick up. Hundreds of iron and gold walnuts, our He family has no blessings to eat. If we take it hard, I'm afraid it won't be worth the gain." He Jitian said. He looks rough and mad, but his mind is delicate.
Lin Rufei didn't expect such a scene, he actually watched He Jitian slowly dig out the Shujishu, and with the Shushu's crashing to the ground, Lin Rufei felt that someone was being pulled on her shoulders. Pressing it gently, he thought it was He Xianyi, but he turned his head to look, but found that it was Gu Xuandu.
Gu Xuandu stood behind him with a tired expression, lowered his head, and rested his chin on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Lin Rufei asked.
"A little tired." Gu Xuandu said, "But it doesn't matter, just lean on Xiao Jiu for a while... and you'll be fine."
Lin Rufei felt a little distressed when she saw him like this, so she stood up straight and let Gu Xuandu put her chest on his back.
The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: A little tired.
Lin Rufei: Eat six walnuts... to nourish the brain
Gu Xuandu: Let's replace the walnuts with small chives, after all, small chives are aphrodisiacs.
Lin Rufei: …
