The seasons change in a hurry, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. In the gap between walking darts, the two fathers and sons of the Xing family still live their days as usual. They practice swords, play pipa, and pour honey that seems to be absent into the ordinary days, and the whole yard of sweetness.

Even Aunt Xue could see that something was wrong between the two of them. She rolled around in the teaching workshop when she was young, and wandered around brothels when she was old. What kind of shocking love affair has she never seen?At this moment, I am envious of their deep love. If I could meet someone who loves and heats when I was young, I would not be so lonely now.

"...Happy love leaves bitter children, melancholy melodies on the qin, se, and pipa..." The strings are plucked, and Aunt Xue plays and sings in the courtyard to relieve the loneliness.

She is lonely but others are not lonely. Xing Bugui, who used to live in secluded places, now always likes to run out with Xing Yu. A few days ago, he just came back from a bodyguard. When Lou Zhaoyang said that the crabapple flowers in the north of the city were blooming at the right time, he was very excited. Take my adopted son to enjoy the flowers; tonight on Yuan Ye, there will be a lantern festival in the city, and I will also go to see the lantern with my adopted son.

Daddy is wild.Xing Yu gesticulated on the road to talk about his adoptive father.

"I always think about what to watch and play with you." Xing Bugui replied.

There was a time when Mu Shaoai was lustful, but when he left his hometown in a hurry, he extinguished his love for Gao Ruyin, but he didn't expect that many years later, he could ignite the same affection for another person , the gloom in my heart unbelievably dissipated little by little.

me too.Xing Yu thought to himself looking at the eyes that never returned.

In the night market, lanterns and bonfires are as bright as day, children are competing to play with lanterns in their hands, temples are decorated with lanterns, and people from all over the city, old and young, come.Bonsai, flowers, pastries and candied fruit here, seasonal fruits, clothes, hats and fan tents, everything you need. Xing Bugui and Xing Yu were pushed very hard. The tall one had to hold the thin one tightly so as not to get separated. He was tired from walking. , The two bought ten-color dumplings and ate them aside. When they returned, they passed a small stall selling jade, and the stall owner yelled that the punishment would not return.

"My lord, buy a string of Yufengnian bracelets for you to wear, you will be blessed and auspicious!"

Xing Yu shook his hands when he heard this, he didn't wear those fancy things, it would get in the way when he was doing things.

The stall owner didn't give up, and he knew at a glance that Xingbugui was an uncle who was willing to spend money. He shook the jewelry in his hand and continued to lobby: "The jade from the west is icy and clear, and the young master's pearls are round and jade-like. It’s just right. Look, my lord, this jade is carved into a small ingot, so that the young master’s food and fortune will gather in all directions, and it will also bring you a lot of wealth..."

Xing Yu still smiled and waved his hands, his adoptive father earned hard money, so he didn't waste it on these good-looking but useless things, and he frowns and stands still when the sentence is not returned.

Looking at the jade under the dim light, the color is beautiful, but as long as you distinguish carefully, you can still tell that those are just miscellaneous jade stones, not as good as the stall owner said.He thought that most children would indeed hang some mascots to keep them safe.

"How much?" he asked.

The boss set a price, which was a little higher, Xing Bugui cut the price by [-]%, and the deal was completed. The boss came to help Xing Yu put on the bracelet.

Why buy this?Xing Yu asked his adoptive father, but he didn't think so.

"I hope Yu'er is safe forever." Xing Bugui said.

I will, because my father is older than me, and I am healthy so that I can take good care of my old age.Xing Yu thought so from the bottom of his heart, but he never revealed it. Recently, his father seems to be particularly sensitive to age.

This is a matter of course, Xing Bugui has a young lover, so he will naturally be concerned about the gap between the two, now even when he hears outsiders call him Xing Yu's father, he feels a little unhappy.

However, Xing Yu was still happy in his heart, because it was a gift from his father, which had a different meaning. On the way home, he raised his hand from time to time, watching the jade on the bracelet shine brightly against the light.

I will wear this jade chain on my left wrist for the rest of my life, and I will not take it off when I die, he thought.

Seeing him like this, Xing Bugui was also happy from the bottom of his heart, he carried Xing Yu through the gate of the courtyard, stopped suddenly, and Xing Yu who was being carried was also pulled back naturally.

father?Xing Yu was surprised.

Xing Bugui let go of Xing Yu's shoulders, pushed him behind him, and then uttered his voice into the yard.

"Sneaky, who?"

Two men stood out from the shadows of the yard. They were fierce and fierce, and they all held knives in their hands. The shape of the knives was similar to the one used by Xing Bugui.

"Brother!" The two men raised their knives and clapped their hands and shouted in unison, respectfully.

"Beishan, Shu Ming?" Xing Bugui raised his eyebrows, really surprised: "How do you know I'm here?"

Xing Yu poked his head out from behind, equally astonished, Xing Bugui seldom socialized with people, and only knew everyone in the Guangtong Escort in the city, and only occasionally said a few words when they met, these two strangers who appeared now I don't know where it came from, but he looks very familiar with his adoptive father.

Those two people are actually the sixth and seventh junior brothers who have not returned after punishment. They came to this courtyard to look for the punishment. Aunt Xue said that the father and son of the Xing family had gone out to watch the lantern festival, so they stayed here and waited for more than an hour.

"Senior brother, you appeared in Shuzhong a few months ago. Some disciples saw you and asked about the shop where you delivered the medicinal materials. Then they found out that you worked for the Guangtong Escort. Master heard the news and ordered us to come and find you and return to Xuandaomen." Bei Shan Answer questions about punishment.

"Master?" Xing Bugui was stunned for a while, and then replied in a deep voice, "I have abandoned the name of Xinglu and Xuandaomen's great disciple, and I have no face to go back."

"Don't be like this, senior brother." Shu Ming, who was not much older than Xing Yu, said, "Master said that you are stubborn, and you will definitely not come back, so I wrote a book for you to read and make a decision."

"What's in it?" Xing Bugui asked.

"Master said that only you can read it." Beishan took out a letter from his bag.

After thinking about it for a while, Xing Bugui took it, removed the mud-sealed letter, and went to the side to read it.

Shu Ming stared at Xing Yu curiously, and asked, "I heard from the aunt inside that you are the adopted son of the elder brother?"

Xing Yu was very afraid of people with weapons other than his father, the two knives in Bei Shan and Shu Ming's hands were shining brightly, he took two steps back in fright, and then nodded.

Shu Ming was still waiting for questioning, Bei Shan stopped him and said, "Junior brother, don't forget, aunt said that this child is disabled and can't speak."

Xing Yu heard some contempt in Bei Shan's words, and seemed to think that Xing Yu was inferior if he couldn't speak, and couldn't help but feel dark, and took another step back, looking at Xing Bugui, but the other party was looking down at the letter, concentrating on it , didn't care to come here.

I opened my mouth slightly, but...

I used to be able to talk, and my father never thought I was dumb.

There was never any difficulty in communicating with Xing Bugui. For some reason, he sometimes just blinked, and the other party knew what he meant. Even if he didn't blink, his inner thoughts were easily guessed. Over time, Xing Yu even forgot I haven't spoken for a long time.

Many thoughts are obviously so simple, you can understand without explaining, why do you have to speak?Thought is as broad as a river, and language is just a wave of emotions, but this wave is definitely not enough to contain the entire river.

Even if you can speak, it is useless. Back then, when the Martial Arts League insisted that Huan Danmen was a crooked way of evil spirits, they didn’t even let them say a word of justification, and they would be cut as soon as they raised their swords. Therefore, the rules of life and death are not all determined by those tyrannical people. of it?

Is it great to be able to hold a knife and be stronger than others?Xing Yu said so in his eyes, but unfortunately, Bei Shan and Shu Ming didn't understand his thoughts, and Xing Bugui was in a daze with the letter.

"Eldest brother, Master has been thinking about you so much these past few years..." Shu Ming persuaded, "Just go back with us."

"I'll shame the teacher and go back with shame." Xing Bugui said, "Forget it, you guys came from a long way, go in and sit down. Yu'er, pour some hot tea for the two uncles."

Xing Yu immediately went into the room to light up the stove, then went to the kitchen to bring a pot of water and put it on the stove, then obediently stayed aside and listened to the conversation of the three.

The three brothers and sisters first politely asked the reason behind the farewell, and then started to talk about business.

Beishan coughed lightly, and said: "Brother, master said that the incident at Le Ping Fang was quite strange. Not long after you left, that maiko was poisoned to death. The mother of Le Ping Fang said that she saw someone taking a large I gave her some money and asked her to leave, but she refused..."

The punishment does not return to Yi Lin, remembering something, blurted out and asked: "Is it the poison of the alchemy sect?"

Xing Yu at the side trembled a lot when he heard the word "poison poison", his face turned pale, but he didn't notice any abnormality after the sentence was gone, he just listened intently to what the two juniors said.

Beishan continued: "It was a scorpion that poisoned the maiko. It was beaten to death under the bed by the mother. I was ordered by my master to take it back. He said that it was a poisonous scorpion raised by Hualianmen in Shushan. If you sting you, you will die. It just somehow ran down the mountain and stung someone.”

"Hua Lianmen and Tangmen used to be known as the two poisons in Sichuan, but they lost the fierce battle with Tangmen 20 years ago, and they have disappeared since then. It should not be..." Xing Bugui smiled wryly.

"But..." Shu Ming interrupted suddenly: "Four or five years ago, master was poisoned for no reason, and his martial arts were almost abolished. Fortunately, the old man took the life-saving pill in time and cured the poison. Otherwise, you can go back, senior brother." , I can’t see his old man either.”

Xing Bugui's eyes turned bitter.He has worshiped Gao Chunming as his teacher since he was a child, and respects him like a father. Although he looks cold, he is a loving person. Hearing what his younger brother said, he wished he could fly to his master with his own wings.

"...Some people say...it was the hand of the poisonous poison, so the second junior brother led you to the alchemy gate..."

"There is no evidence for the rumors from outsiders. The second brother was eager to make achievements in the martial arts, so as to be recognized by the master, so he brought a group of disciples to the Central Plains, and almost died on Ziluo Mountain..."

"Is that so..."

"Eldest brother, before we left, the master gave a special explanation, saying that he will decide something after you go back. If you don't go back, we will have no face to see the master. You have been away for so long, everything is over, please You look out for the big picture."

"The overall situation?" Xing Bugui murmured.

Back then it was for the sake of the overall situation that Xuandaomen was in a hurry to get rid of the relationship with him. The master was so angry that he wanted to kill him. The juniors were strangers to him. It was only then that he decided to stay away from his homeland, but now the master's letter also earnestly stated that he was asked to go back for Xuandaomen.

I don't want to go back, but the teacher's kindness is superimposed on the kindness of nurturing, and human affection and justice cannot be rejected.

"Okay, let's go back," he said finally.

Xing Yu listened to it from the side, and he didn't know what it was like, he just knew that he was a little scared, that place contained the past of his adoptive father, and there would also be many people with knives, just like Bei Shan and Shu Ming in front of him.

Daddy will become a daddy that doesn't completely belong to me, what should I do?But in any case, it is impossible for him to influence the other party's decision.

At this time, Xing Bugui said to Xing Yu: "Yu'er, pack up and go back to Xuandaomen with me."

Xing Yu couldn't help thinking of the good again, as long as his father was willing to take him with him, he would be willing to go up the knife mountain and down the frying pan.

At this time, Beishan said again: "Brother, your adopted son is born with weak bones and is not a talent for martial arts. Our Sichuan is damp and cold. He is prone to get sick when he goes there. It will be a burden to bring him back to Xuandaomen. It is better to stay here ..."

The sixth junior brother said this because he naturally looked down on the weak and weak, and with the addition of Xing Yu, he must not be able to go back to his hometown with the senior brother, and the itinerary must be delayed for a few days.

Xing Yu became anxious when he heard that, and turned his head to look at Xing Bugui, his eyes opened wider and brighter than ever.

Daddy, don't leave me, I will never cause you any trouble!

Xing Bugui couldn't help but chuckled in his heart, Xing Yu's eyes were full of tears at this moment, like a cute puppy, he really thought he would be left behind.

How can you give up?Xing Bugui cares about him more than what Xing Yu thinks in his heart.Besides, it might take many years to go here, he would never let Xing Yu live here alone for so long, if this little guy loses him, the world is dangerous, who can protect him from the wind and rain?

That night, the two senior brothers found another room in a nearby inn to rest, and Xing Bugui hugged Xing Yu and whispered softly.

"I'll go back to see Master. Maybe I'll stay for a few months. If you follow me, it's just a tour. It doesn't matter."

Daddy's master is my master, I will be polite, and it will be difficult to be a man if I don't give to my father.

"There may be big changes in the Xuandaomen." Xing Bugui speculated in a deep voice, "Master may want me to go back to take over the Xuandaomen, but in this way, it will be unfair to the second junior brother who has worked hard in the affairs of the Xuandaomen for many years. I'm afraid it will lead to a storm..."

Human affairs are complicated, can we avoid this muddy water?Xing Yu asked carefully with his eyes.

"I can only find a way to stay out of it." The subordinates hugged him even tighter: "I used to have great ambitions and wanted to make a name for myself in the martial arts world, but now I'm lazy and have no intention of pursuing a great career. I only hope for you, Yuer Don't be disgusted, I don't have much to give you."

You can live well with simple clothes and simple food, but it is useless to ask for many other things.Xing Yu smiled and shook his head.

"I often spend too long on the darts, and I will miss you very much, and worry about whether you will be bullied. When I come back this time, I will ask Lou Boss to introduce a job in the nursing home. I don't have to travel around for a long time, and I can accompany you well."

Xing Yu's face was so red, and his body was hot, the bowl of ten-color glutinous rice balls he ate tonight was sweet and sticky, making his father's words sweet and sticky to his heart.

Early the next morning, he brought Xing Yu to the Escort Bureau to find Lou Zhaoyang, saying that he would go back to his hometown for a few months. It was widely circulated among Taoists, so the escort cars inserted into the Guangtong Escort Bureau can usually go unimpeded.

"The road is bumpy, Yu'er is weak, how can he bear the torture? Let him stay and I will take care of you." Lou Zhaoyang pretended to say that, but he knew that Xing Bugui loved his adopted son. If Xing Yu stayed, he would take care of him. Will be back early.

Xing Yu was still in a hurry, after escaping from the sentence, he grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly, really afraid that his adoptive father would be persuaded by Lou Zhaoyang and leave him behind.

"I'll be back after finishing my work in Xuandaomen." Xing Bugui said lightly.

"Well, it turns out that your teacher came from Xuandaomen, Xinglu..." Lou Zhaoyang runs an escort agency, well-informed, and quick to collect information. After thinking about it this way, he has already guessed the origin of the teacher who did not return, and why The reason for falling into the rivers and lakes.

"Farewell." Xingbugui handed over his hands, not wanting to talk to him about himself.

"Slow down." Lou Zhaoyang called to stop him: "I heard that Lan Min of Xuandaomen has been making frequent moves recently, and it is said that he intends to force the palace, you have to be careful."

"Thank you."

Leaving the Escort Bureau, he met Beishan and Shu Ming outside the inn. Regardless of the objections of his two juniors, he hired a car to drive himself and Xing Yu, let the two juniors ride first, and went back to Xuandaomen to tell the master that he was about to return and brought back a A matter of name.

When crossing Mount Shu, the road was difficult, Xing Bugui sent the coachman back, and he bought a small black mule for Xing Yu himself.The mule crossing the mountain road is the most stable and superior riding animal. Xing Bugui said that there were emperors riding mules across this plank road in ancient times. Xing Yu just smiled when he heard it. He is not an emperor, but just a kid riding a mule for fun baby.

However, it's really good to travel around the mountains and rivers like this with Dad, even if he understands that after he arrives at Xuandaomen, his life will not be so leisurely and easy.

There are many snakes, insects, insects and beasts in the mountains, but with Xing Yu by his side, when he sleeps in the wild in the middle of the night, even the flying insects will not come close to him. , Whenever the two people are in a strong relationship, the smell becomes more intense, smelling and smelling, even the dizziness no longer occurs, but the spirit is lifted.

"Yu'er is born with a strange fragrance?" Xing Bugui asked.

no.Xing Yu pointed to his dantian: there is something in here.

"Dark knot in the bead tire?" Xing Bugui even joked.

Two red clouds came up, Xing Yu was ashamed.Daddy talks nonsense, how could I...

Xing Bugui laughed, and suddenly his eyebrows furrowed deeply.

"In order to control others, some crooked sects will implant insect eggs in the person's body. If the other party resists, they will use magic to force the eggs to hatch, and will eat back at the master of the parasite... Yu'er, the master of the alchemy sect in the past should not have treated you ..."

No, no, what's in my body is just a refined pill, as long as I want, I can not catalyze it for the rest of my life, don't worry, Dad.

Xing Bugui saw that although Xing Yu shook his head in a hurry, but obviously denied his own question just now, he was relieved and didn't ask any more questions.Xing Yu snuggled into his arms, not letting her expression be seen clearly.

Dad, to catalyze that pill, you must use a poisonous snake as a lure, and I will definitely be careful not to let the snake get close to me; although the master said that I can kill my life in an instant by flipping my hands, but I don't want to...

I will never become a poisonous poison.

The father and son stayed overnight, and the stars fell and the birds flew along the way. The two of them and one mule walked through the treacherous mountainous area and came to Xuandaomen.

That Xuandaomen is the number one sect in Sichuan, the gatehouse in front of the gate is extraordinary, with red walls and emerald tiles reflecting the towers, disciples who enter and exit all carry knives, they are strict and solemn, which shows that they are well disciplined.

Xing Yu was really afraid of those people with knives. After getting off the mule, he timidly hid behind him. Before Xing Bugui returned to the gate, someone rushed out to greet him. Bei Shan and Shu Ming had already told their master and other senior brothers. The news that the elder brother is about to return, calculated the footsteps, should arrive in the next few days, and described the appearance to the disciples guarding the gate, as soon as they arrive, they will report the news.

The entire Xuan Dao Sect was in chaos, the older generation of disciples were no strangers to punishment, and they were all convinced by his martial arts and saber techniques back then, and now they all ran out to greet him when they heard it; the new generation also listened. The person who passed the sentence would not return, rushed out of the martial arts training ground out of curiosity, and there was a crowd of people inside and outside the gate for a while, scaring Xing Yu, who was shy of life, into more like a cowardly chicken.

I hate it here.Xing Yu thought: But, you have to be patient, this is your father's hometown, even if you don't want to, he must be patient for your father's sake.

At this time, Xing Bugui returned to the place where he had been away for many years. What he saw and heard was the things he had watched since he was a child. , casually called out the other party's name, asked Xing Yu to bow and salute, and was surrounded to the main hall just like that.

Passing through several layers of houses, and crossing the white marble bricks of the altar, I saw the master sitting in the hall from a distance. It was an old man with white hair and a silver beard. It made him, who is a big disciple, sigh inwardly.

I wanted to say so much, but I choked up my sobs, so I could only kneel down and shout, "Master..."

When Xing Yu saw him, he also knelt down. He didn't know the reasons and consequences of Xing Bugui's departure. He only guessed that his adoptive father was kicked out. Seeing him kneeling down, it was as if he was pleading guilty. He was very worried and could only do nothing. With dark eyeballs rolling, he begged the old man sitting in the hall not to punish his father.

"It's good to be back, get up." The old man didn't express anything in particular, he just looked at Xing Yu's eldest disciple who had returned after a long time: "I heard that you adopted a mute child, is he?"

"Yes, Master, his name is Xing Yu." Xing Bugui stood up and replied.

"It's up to you to find someone to be your companion in a different place. But Xuandao Sect doesn't accept useless people. If he causes trouble, you have to take full responsibility."

"Yes." Xing Bugui answered more succinctly. He never disobeyed his master's orders, but in his mind, Xing Yu would never be a troublemaker.

Xing Yu just lowered his head, feeling extremely wronged, he is very good, but he just doesn't speak, why do everyone think he is a burden?Dad obviously often praised him for his diligence and helped him a lot. He is definitely not a burden or a useless person.

Peeking at Xing Bugui, but right now Xing Bugui didn't have the heart to notice the distress of his adopted son, he stood aside, waiting to hear further instructions from his master.

At this time, a man standing next to Gao Chunming said: "Master, the elder brother came back from a long journey, the journey was hard, I arranged a banquet in the back hall, and help him and his nephew clean up the dust."

The person who spoke was handsome, with a tall and straight figure, and his voice was clear and clear, which was indescribably comfortable in his ears. He seemed to be several years younger than Xing Buhui.

"Second Junior Brother, thank you very much." Xing Bugui said, this person is Lan Min.

Lan Min replied: "You're welcome, senior brother. In the past few years you have been away, the master and all the juniors miss you very much, and sister Yin often misses you too... When everyone is here, she is here."

Hearing the familiar name, Xing Bugui remained on the surface as usual, but Xing Yu was startled, raised his head and turned around suddenly, facing the direction Lan Min was pointing at, a young woman was walking slowly on Danchi outside.

This woman is graceful and graceful, with black hair, cicada temples, vermilion lips and white teeth, she looks weak, but there is a faint sternness between her brows, what is rare is that this sternness does not detract from her beauty, but adds a little bit of strong brilliance .

What shocked Xing Yu was not the woman's outstanding appearance, but the name Lan Min just called out. It was the name that his adoptive father called out on a dark and drunk night. a woman.

Is that her?No wonder, no wonder... All men are obsessed with such a woman, and Dad is no exception, she is indeed worthy of Dad.

Thinking of this, Xing Yu cast a shadow over his heart, he turned his head to look for Xing Yu, but saw that the latter was also staring at the woman, dazed.

This is what liking people is all about, Xing Yu thought foolishly, he likes his father, even if he is separated for seven years, 17 years, or even 70 years, this love of admiration will always be maintained, if his father likes Yinmei The degree is the same as his own, then, in his heart now, there should be no room for others, right?

Wasn't he volunteering to be a substitute to comfort him the night he and his father got together for the first time?Although his devotion satisfied a little bit of selfishness, he was also afraid that his father would leave in anger afterwards. Fortunately, his father came back and gave him a sweet dream, thinking that the two of them could be together forever, father and son, yes Lover, husband and wife...

Now, the dream should be almost over.Xing Yufu lowered his head again and thought optimistically: It doesn't matter, even if he is only a father and son, even if Daddy really wants to be with this woman, as long as he doesn't leave him, he is willing to guard the part of being a son, no more Think about other things and do more.

Yes, that's enough, he can do whatever he wants, including watching this woman marry Xing Bugui, give birth to him, and easily accomplish what Xing Yu himself could never do in his entire life.

"Elder brother." Gao Ruyin walked up to Xing Bugui, raised her head and called.

"Yinmei." With a distant politeness, she greeted her lightly even if she did not return.

A little deliberately, Lan Min came to lean on Gao Ruyin, and said to Xing Bugui: "Brother, you came back just in time, I have already obtained the approval of the master, and sister Yin is also willing, and the marriage ceremony will be held in three months. Li, Yinmei also said that it would be a fly in the ointment if the elder brother does not come to participate in this kind of day... Yinmei, don’t you think so?”

After he finished speaking, he pulled Gao Ruyin to ask her to agree with his words. Gao Ruyin looked at the punishment and expressed a little helplessness. After biting her lip, she nodded slightly.

Xingbuguiqing couldn't help being moved, wanted to say something, but didn't say a word, and finally just raised eyebrows at Lan Min, congratulated, and said to the master in the hall: "Second junior brother is capable and responsible, and master will take care of sister Yin." Betrothed to him, Second Junior Brother will be regarded as Master's son-in-law from now on, it is reasonable and reasonable to entrust Xuandaomen to him."

Lan Min has been coveting the position of Master of the Xuandao Sect for a long time. Hearing what the senior brother said, he was secretly happy. As for the other juniors, they have guessed for a long time who the master will pass on the position of sect master, but they dare not directly mention it to the master. Regarding this matter, since the senior brother mentioned this topic, everyone raised their necks to listen to what the master had to say.

Gao Chunming's face darkened, and he said: "Whoever passes on the position of sect master needs a long-term plan. Xing Lu, I want you to come back. I have some considerations. Today, I will help you clean up the dust and rest for two days. I will tell you this carefully. thing."

Xing Bugui listened to his master's tough tone, as if he already had an idea in his heart that could not be violated, he sighed inwardly, and could only nod his head in agreement.

The present is not what it used to be, Xing Bugui thought, if he told his master that what he wanted in the past, but now he just wanted to discard it in his heart, he would definitely be scolded by the master as ungrateful.

You can only take one step at a time, and see what happens.
