Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword

Chapter 90: Another spring

Views:

Wu Ao lay dying on the ground, with a huge wound pierced by Tianxiao in his abdomen. The wound was not big, but it was deep, and blood kept gushing out. As for Wu Ao, who wanted to stop the blood, his wide eyes stared at the sky above his head quietly.

It was already dark and the night wind was whimpering. Because of excessive blood loss, he began to feel a little cold. The black snake that had been coiling in his hand also seemed to sense the aura of its master's gradual decay, and became restless, lingering in Wu Ao's hand incessantly. Wu Ao was unaware, silently stroking its smooth body, his eyes slightly half-drooping, showing a tired look.

Everything happened was completely different from what he expected. Tianjun was voluntary from beginning to end, whether he became Gu Xuandu's lover, or possessed himself above Dahan. His thoughts were just wishful thinking. Even though Lin Rufei, who had recovered his memory, hadn't mentioned anything, he could still taste the disappointment in his eyes.

He was disappointed in him, disappointed in everything he had done, but he wouldn't say anything, just stare at him sadly.

Wu Ao covered his eyes with his arms, sobbing sadly. He would probably die here alone, just like he was born alone.

His parents died too early, he didn't even remember their appearance, until he was adopted by Tianjun, his world was in chaos. The appearance of Tianjun pulled back the chaotic curtain and brought him a warm light. He thought he would be in the world of light forever until he was thrown away.

Consciousness gradually blurred, Wu Ao curled up and closed his eyes, but in the dimness, he felt that he had fallen into an embrace, this embrace made him give birth to an illusion of returning to his mother's body, Wu Ao closed his eyes, sinking fell asleep.

After a long time, Wu Ao woke up from the dream again. He opened his eyes blankly and saw a pile of burning bonfires. Sitting by the bonfire was a silent back. Wu Ao wanted to get up on a conditioned reflex, but he pulled the wound in his abdomen, and let out a slight pain. He lowered his head and looked carefully, and inconceivably found that his wound had been treated. Although the method was very rough, it was already done. Stop the bleeding.

"Who... Who saved me?" Wu Ao asked blankly.

No one answered, Mo Changshan sat by the fire, his black eyes still dimmed, and he would not answer his question.

There are only the two of them here, and the person who rescued him naturally has only one answer, but Wu Ao showed some disbelief and stared at Mo Changshan, as if staring at a monster. Although he can resurrect Mo Changshan, he has not summoned Mo Changshan's soul, so it stands to reason that Mo Changshan is just a puppet acting on instinct, but how could the puppet save him

Wu Ao thought so suspiciously.

Mo Changshan was silent, the two looked at each other, the atmosphere was silent, only the fire in front of him kept making a crackling sound.

"Did you save me?" Wu Ao smiled bitterly.

Mo Changshan was silent.

"What's the point of saving it?" Wu Ao murmured, "He doesn't want me anymore."

Mo Changshan still looked at Wu Ao quietly, motionless.

Wu Ao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Do you want to go to Xiliang Mountain to see it?"

Still no response.

Wu Ao was a little disappointed, sighed slightly, and said in a low voice, "Your dog named Zhaocai is buried on Mount Xiliang."

He thought that Mo Changshan still couldn't speak, but who knew the next moment, he heard a very firm voice, although it was soft: "Okay."

Wu Ao raised his head in surprise: "Can you think?"

Mo Changshan was still the same as when he first saw him, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't see a trace of expression, as if the good word just now was not spit out of his mouth at all.

Wu Ao laughed. The smile was a little bitter, but he was smiling. He said, "Let's go, I'll take you... to see."

The autumn wind is somewhat similar to the spring wind, but it is different from the warmth of spring, with a hint of coolness inside.

In September and October, it was the season to eat crabs. The crabs were brought from a large lake a hundred miles away. Although the taste was very good, Lin Rufei couldn't eat more of them because of their cold nature.

Although she has Tianjun's memory, Lin Rufei's life has not changed much, she still drinks medicine every day to heal her wounds, and she is unusually leisurely.

That slender peach tree was really different. Gu Xuandu's spirit rested on it, not only didn't mean to dissipate, but was warmed up instead. In Lin Rufei's mind, there are many ways to help him resurrect, but the premise is that he needs to find a suitable body. This body is best made of special materials, otherwise it may not be able to carry Gu Xuandu's body.

Lin Rufei was still worried about where to find the materials, but one day when she was taking a shower, she suddenly looked up and saw herself in the mirror.

This mirror was sent by Lin Weirui. It was much clearer than ordinary bronze mirrors, and it was almost completely visible in it. As soon as Lin Rufei raised her eyes, she noticed something unusual in her eyes. It was a pink peach blossom, dangling in his eyes. Lin Rufei was stunned at first, then she was overjoyed and raised her hand to cover it. He opened his eyes - he knew what to use for Gu Xuan's body.

Gu Xuandu was still standing on the branch at this time, everything withered away in late autumn, and the small bud standing alone on the branch seemed extraordinarily abrupt at this time.

It's a little strange even with the floating flower jade, saying that this peach blossom does not bloom in spring, why does it bloom in autumn, is it actually a plum blossom

Lin Rufei joked that she must have felt that the spring was not enough, so she made up for it in autumn.

Although the floating flower jade core was strange, she didn't think much about it, but Lin Bianyu saw some clues and asked Lin Rufei with a frown, if the flower bud had anything to do with Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei admitted frankly and told Lin Bianyu a few things. Of course, the details of Tianjun and the formation were omitted. He just said that he knew a powerful senior who gave him a sword and taught him His swordsmanship, and later encountered some things, he parasitized his soul on the peach tree.

Lin Bianyu frowned and said, "So, he tripped me on purpose at that time?"

Lin Rufei was stunned for a moment, before she understood what Lin Bianyu was talking about, and she couldn't help laughing and crying: "Brother... don't care about him."

Lin Bianyu snorted coldly and squinted: "Of course I won't bother with him."

Lin Rufei: "..." Your tone is so unreliable.

Seeing Lin Bianyu's expression of hatred and hatred, it was obvious that he had a great opinion of this senior, so he had to comfort him for a long time, and finally let Lin Bianyu breathe out. However, Lin Bianyu always had a deep prejudice against this so-called senior, and felt that he had deceived his inexperienced younger brother.

It's been freezing cold this year, and the first snow fell in mid-November.

Lin Rufei was still asleep when he was awakened by the rustling snow. After he woke up, the first thing he did was put on a cape and look at the peach blossoms in the yard.

A thin layer of snow had accumulated on the flower buds. Lin Rufei gently swept the snow down with her fingers, and then summoned the floating flowers and jade cores, and went to get some bamboo and wood, so as to build a snow shield for the peach tree. barrier.

While floating, she urged Lin Rufei to go in and change into thick clothes. Lin Rufei stood still, saying that she was not cold.

"It's not cold yet, the tip of my nose is frozen red." Fu Hua said, "Master, go quickly, don't cause typhoid fever again."

Lin Rufei had no choice but to go in, and when she came out, the bamboo shelf was already set up.

Lin Rufei gently swept the snow off the peach tree. The floating flowers were afraid that Lin Rufei would freeze, so she wanted to come by herself, but was stopped by Lin Rufei.

"I'll come." Lin Rufei smiled. His fingertips slid gently over the tree trunk, and he saw the soft flower buds trembling with his movements, as if it was itching, Lin Rufei said, "Will you bloom in spring?"

Peach Blossom naturally wouldn't answer.

"If it blooms, there will definitely be a few more blooms." Lin Rufei said, "Don't be as embarrassed as last spring."

The winter on the Kunlun Mountains was long and quiet, and the mountain was a little warmer, but Lin Rufei didn't want to go further. After returning to Kunlun, he also visited the town again, but every time he passed by the charred peach forest. After the winter, snow fell in the peach forest, and the white snow and the charred ground formed a sharp contrast. Lin Rufei stood there and watched for a while, then turned around and went back, and she never went down the mountain again.

Fuhua and the others probably knew what Lin Rufei was thinking, and they didn't dare to persuade them, but they were still afraid that Lin Rufei would be cold, so they took a lot of charcoal fire and set the earth dragon in the house on fire.

The room was warm enough to wear a single coat, but Lin Rufei was already weak, the charcoal fire was too dry, and if it burned too much, he would cough.

In addition, Lin Rufei likes to run outside all day, so Fuhua and the others had to burn a few more thermos and let Lin Rufei carry it close to her body.

In December, the snow has arrived, and it has covered the whole world.

Lin Rufei held an umbrella and a thermos in her arms, standing in the yard talking to Peach Blossom. He said that today Shen Wudao came over to propose marriage, and Lin Weirui ate a few more bowls of food when she was happy. Shen Wudao asked about the betrothal gift, Lin Weirui turned his elbows out, put his arms around Shen Wude's shoulders and said that our relationship is so good, what do you want for the betrothal gift? Just kiss me and I'll marry you.

As a result, the thin-skinned Shen Wushang's face was flushed, and in the end, Lin Minzhi couldn't stand it any longer. He reached out and pulled Lin Weirui back, gnashing his teeth and asking if you could be a little more reserved. Lin Weirui's eyes were full of innocence, and she said that I was already very reserved. If I wasn't reserved, I might have gone to the Shen family to propose a kiss now... She wanted to say something else, but she quickly shut up and made a statement when she saw Lin Minzhi's bad eyes. With an innocent attitude, he knew that if he spoke again, he would be whipped again.

The peach tree stood quietly in the courtyard and did not answer. Lin Rufei spoke softly, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and Wan Yao came to check on Lin Rufei's body to make sure that his previous injuries had almost recovered. It's just that there are still a lot of ferocious wounds on his hands, which seem a bit out of place.

Lin Rufei felt that it didn't matter. Which swordsman was not injured.

The New Year's Day is a big festival, and Kunlun, who is usually calm, is also lively. With so much happening this year, it's time to celebrate and celebrate.

Now that Lin Bianyu has spoken, Kunlun naturally responded eagerly. The eaves and corners were covered with red lanterns and window grilles. Lin Weirui got a lot of firecrackers and fireworks from nowhere, saying that it was going to be on the New Year's Day. Have fun at night.

Lin Minzhi didn't persuade him this time either, seeing Lin Weirui's expression a little sluggish, saying that Lin Weirui really married into the Shen family, and this temperament must be changed...

Lin Weirui hummed, but didn't answer.

"What to change." Lin Bianyu said indifferently, "With the support of the Kunlun faction, are you afraid that someone will dare to bully Wei Rui?"

Lin Minzhi sighed: "I'm not afraid that someone will bully Wei Rui, but I'm afraid that Wei Rui will bully others. It's not that you don't know Shen Wuru's temperament. When you meet Wei Rui, you don't know whether it's his luck or his disaster. "Neither he nor Lin Minzhi knew that Lin Weirui and Shen Wudao were now in the same life, so he naturally had some sympathy for the old-fashioned son of the Shen family.

Lin Weirui giggled, winked at Lin Minzhi, grabbed Lin Rufei, who was watching the play next to her, and said, let's go, Xiao Jiu, let's not talk to these two old people, let's go out and set off fireworks.

Lin Rufei said yes with a smile.

On New Year's Day, although the snow stopped, the sky and the earth were still white. Lin Rufei wore a cape and stood in the snow, looking up at the fireworks. Lin Weirui was laughing with the maids by the side, talking about which fireworks are the most beautiful.

It was only halfway through, that Lin Rufei felt a little bit. She glanced in a certain direction, but saw no one. He thought it was because he was suspicious, and laughed as if he was laughing at himself. Thinking about that person's temperament, he must is not coming back. But I don't know that someone is shrinking in the corner, clutching his pounding heart, and whispering in a low voice, "Fortunately, I haven't been seen."

The man in black standing beside him was still expressionless, but the two of them had been together for a long time. He saw what the man in black was thinking, and said angrily, "I'm not afraid, it's just... just..." His eyes half drooped. , murmured, "I'm afraid he will blame me."

"Will he?" the man in black asked.

"He won't." He smiled wryly. "He's so good-natured, how can he blame me."

The fireworks exploded one after another in the sky. Lin Rufei looked at the fireworks, but remembered something and said with a smile, "Sister, leave some for me, and I will put them in the yard."

Lin Weirui said, "Why do you want to go back and put it away?" She asked suspiciously, "Little Jiu, you're probably not hiding in a golden house in the yard, it wasn't like this before."

Lin Rufei likes to stay in the yard very much now, and rarely comes out on weekdays. Several times she went to see him and saw him standing in front of the peach tree, either weeding, watering the flowers, or staring at the flower bud and smiling. To say that this peach tree is also very strange, other people's peach trees bloom in the spring, but it has a bud in the winter, and it does not open. It is so lonely hanging on the treetops. Xing Wan told her not to touch it, maybe she already had itchy hands to take off the thing.

Listening to Lin Weirui's words, Lin Rufei did not refute, but smiled slyly: "Yes, there is a beautiful beauty hidden in the room."

"Where is it?" Lin Weirui said, "Why didn't I see it?"

Lin Rufei said solemnly, "Only smart people can see it, second brother, have you seen it?"

"I see." Lin Bianyu said sadly, he naturally knew what Lin Rufei was talking about.

Lin Weirui stared, saying that you must be hiding something from me.

Lin Rufei waved her hand and said that I was sleepy and went back first, then turned around and slipped away, letting Lin Weirui call him from behind.

Taking the fireworks to the courtyard, Lin Rufei walked to the peach tree and said hello first, saying that it was New Year's Day, and it was very lively outside. He brought the fireworks back and specially showed him, so he lit a firecracker. Watch it give off a warm orange soft glow in the yard.

Lin Rufei's cheeks were also illuminated by the light, and he said, "I miss you a little."

A grain of snow fell from the sky, and it was falling on Lin Rufei's eyelashes. There was some ice. He frowned slightly, with a helpless sigh in his tone: "How did you come here in those hundreds of years?"

In the Baili Taolin, there was no one to complain, and Gu Xuan could only wait for the future that he didn't know what to expect. On that day, the Great Cold Sword was broken, and it was about to dissipate when he saw it. Gu Xuan could have soared to the sky, but he still disassembled his body, just to save his soul. He was successfully reincarnated as the young son of the Kunlun School, and Gu Xuandu finally ended the long wait when he saw the vision of Lin Rufei's birth.

The fireworks went out, and the courtyard returned to tranquility. Lin Rufei reached out and flicked before the flower buds. The flower bud was soft, Lin Rufei watched it trembling at her fingertips, and said softly, "Come back quickly."

The breeze blew, and the branches trembled slightly, as if nodding.

When winter is over, it is spring again.

It's just that this winter seems to be much longer than usual, and the snow did not melt until March.

All things recovered, and the grass and trees began to sprout new shoots, but overnight, many lovely greens appeared on the branches. Lin Rufei raised her hand and stroked it, feeling quite as if she saw the child she likes growing small teeth, and said with a smile, "It finally sprouts."

The peach tree naturally does not speak.

The other plants and trees in the yard also began to turn green quickly. In just a few days, the snow-covered earth returned to black, and in a few days, layers of thick greenery appeared on the black.

Lin Rufei sat idle in the yard and played chess with Lin Bianyu, Lin Bianyu said, "It's a good day, why don't you go down the mountain with me, Xiao Jiu?"

Lin Rufei hesitated.

"The locust blossoms in the town are also blooming." Lin Bianyu said, "It would be good to pick some and make dumplings."

Seeing Lin Bianyu's persuasion, Lin Rufei had no choice but to agree. Fuhua and the others brought a horse and found a thick cloak for Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei rode on the horse and walked all the way out, and saw that the mountain gate was very lively.

Going down the mountain road, you will soon pass the peach forest. Lin Rufei thought she would see the scorched earth that made me feel melancholy, but who knew that the scorched earth disappeared, and it turned into a dense forest. However, this forest is still a little short, it looks like a sapling that has just been planted, and there are some peach trees that have already bloomed in it. Compared with the surrounding area, it looks a little out of place.

Lin Rufei looked surprised and asked Lin Bianyu what was going on.

Lin Bianyu said: "Knowing that Xiao Jiu likes peach forests, I sent someone to clean up the burnt peach trees, planted saplings, and supplemented them with a large formation. After a few days, these peach trees should be able to grow. When I grow up, although it will take some years to bloom, it won't take too long to come."

Lin Rufei said, "What happened to those peach trees?"

Lin Bianyu said with a smile, "I don't know, but when I came to deal with it, I found that there were more peach trees on the scorched earth... and they all bloomed. Although it's strange, they just stayed."

Lin Rufei blinked, as if she understood something, nodded and smiled.

The town is bustling as usual, and the locust tree has produced lush stamens just like last year. Lin Bianyu climbed up the tree and picked the locust blossoms one by one. Lin Rufei stood at the bottom with a cloth pocket and followed. The two brothers were very down-to-earth, which attracted the attention of the people next to them.

Fortunately, Lin Rufei didn't care about this, and when the bag was full, the two walked back.

Lin Rufei also discussed with Lin Bianyu what to eat at noon today. They said that since they wanted to eat dumplings in the evening, they could eat something else at noon. Lin Weirui was about to get married, and Shen Wudu said that he would come over in late June. Hiring, Kunlun will definitely make a big deal at that time.

When it comes to Lin Weirui's marriage, Lin Rufei is both sad and relieved, but for Lin Weirui, it is a good thing. The two of them said with a sad smile at the same time.

When they got to the yard, Lin Bianyu took the locust flower and let the floating flower Yurui deal with it. Lin Rufei came to the yard as usual, and was about to look at the flower buds, but saw that the branches were empty and nothing.

Lin Rufei's expression was sluggish for a long time, and then she began to look for it in a panic, but after looking all over the grass, he couldn't see the shadow of the flower bud, Lin Rufei quickly called: "Floating flower, floating flower!"

"Master, what's the matter?" Fu Hua was taken aback by Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei said, "Has anyone come into the yard?"

Fu Hua said, "No, no one came in, young master, what's the matter?"

Lin Rufei asked eagerly, "Where are the buds? Where are the buds on this peach tree?"

Fu Hua was stunned for a while, as if she didn't expect Lin Rufei to be in a hurry because of this matter, she said, "Oh, young master, you said the flower bud, the gust of wind just blew the flower bud down, I saw it When it fell on the ground, I picked it up and put it on the table in your house." Everyone knows that this peach tree is the young master's treasure, and so are the flower buds. Although I don't know why the flower buds suddenly fell off, the young master will definitely feel distressed when he thinks about it. When the floating flower saw it, he picked it up and put it in Lin Rufei's house.

Hearing this, Lin Rufei hurried to her room with a long sigh of relief. Sure enough, she saw the flower bud on the table intact, but because it fell to the ground, the flower bud was stained with some dirt. Lin Rufei cautiously Holding it in his hand, he gently swept away the floating dust on it, and said, "Why so fast?"

The flower bud was obediently in Lin Rufei's hand, like an embryo that was about to spit.

Lin Rufei glanced at the spring outside, and laughed, "Yes, it's already spring... It's almost there." He opened his eyes, touched his own, and then tapped his fingertips, and tears fell. , mixed with some pink, when Lin Rufei opened her eyes again, a peach blossom slowly fell from his eyes, like a feather, quietly resting on the flower bud.

When the bud touched the peach blossom, it trembled slightly, and the petals began to bloom slowly. In this way, the white stamens were exposed. In the center of the stamens lay a naked little man. The little man seemed to have noticed Lin Rufei's gaze. , opened his eyes in the mist, rubbed his eyes, and let out a small cry.
