[Lu Xiaofeng] Hidden Forest of Flowers and Leaves

The sound of the guqin in the wind and snow is indifferent and quiet, and the strokes and strokes are ethereal, as if they are out of the dust.However, after listening to it for a long time, I feel that the master of the piano seems to have some deep pain, which makes him not want to leave the mundane world.

Both Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou heard the sound of the piano, but neither of them moved.Hua Manlou finished his meal and even sipped a cup of tea amidst the intermittent sound of the piano.And the piano player's sound was not disturbed at all, without impatience, and he was still waiting for them.

Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng pushed the door and went out.

It was completely dark.It was snowing all over the sky outside the house, and a thick layer had already accumulated on the ground.

The promenade of the yard has been lit up with red lanterns at some point.Tomorrow is New Year's Eve.This is the most festive color, but it seems a little strange to Hualu and Lu: they didn't hear the footsteps, and they didn't know who lit the lanterns when.

Maybe it was because the wind and snow were too loud, or maybe it was because that person's lightness kung fu was too high.

And Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng were also given Ten Fragrance Ruan Jing San, and there was not a single ounce of internal energy left.

The red lanterns in the corridor twist and turn, stretching forward, with no end in sight.But except for the dimness in the corridor, the surroundings are all dark, and there is no light coming from any room.

Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng walked side by side in the corridor.

The yard is small, but the corridor is very long.Circling and winding, up and down.They walked for a long time, and they didn't know how big the yard was.

Finally, they saw a pavilion.

The pavilion stands at the end of the rockery.Curtains were hung around the pavilion to prevent the wind and snow from pouring in. On the side facing Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng, the curtains were rolled up, and two girls in yellow clothes holding palace lanterns stood on both sides.

A young man dressed in white fur was playing an ancient tune.

That young man's black hair was like ink, his eyes were like spots of paint, and his appearance was extremely handsome.The way he bowed his head and groaned, plucking the strings with his hands, on this snowy night, even a person who doesn't understand elegance, I'm afraid he will be intoxicated by it.

Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng are not people who don't understand elegance.But they were just children, and children never had much patience.

What's more, they were still walking in the corridor for half an hour, and they were already a little restless.

When they saw the young man, they climbed up the rockery and came to the pavilion.

The young man pressed the strings of the qin and stopped the sound of the qin.He pondered for a long time, as if he was still immersed in the music.When he raised his head and saw Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, he seemed a little surprised, and smiled apologetically, "You two little brothers, forgive me, the next time I play the piano, I will forget the time."

Lu Xiaofeng snorted and said: "Young master, you play the piano really well, I almost fell asleep listening to it!"

The young master didn't take it seriously, and said: "Master Xiao Lu was joking. He withdrew his hand from the qin, and some girls came forward to take the qin away, and some girls put cakes on the table one after another.

The young master flicked his sleeves, pointed to the seat beside the round table, and said: "It's very windy and snowy outside, why don't you two come in and have a seat?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "How do I know if there is any mechanism in your pavilion?"

The young master said: "It seems that the two of you have some misunderstandings."

He didn't get up, but the chair under him moved.After he got out of the table, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng realized that he was actually sitting in a wheelchair.

"As you two can see, I'm just a useless person."

Both Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng were a little moved.In any case, they all admitted that the sound of the piano just now was indeed ancient, and there was not much anger struggling in it.The pain in his piano sounds seems to be the great pain in the world.

But why would such a person "please" them in this way?Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were even more confused.

Lu Xiaofeng walked over and picked up an apple: "It doesn't matter whether you are a cripple or not."

The man's expression did not move at all, still with a gentle smile.He poured a cup of hot tea for Lu Xiaofeng, said: "Brother Lu seems to be very wary of people."

Hua Manlou had already walked over and sat down beside Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and said, "If not, wouldn't I be a dead Lu Xiaoji now?"

The young master said: "It seems that brother Xiao Lu is very concerned about the way I treat guests." He said: "I will accompany you on behalf of my subordinates."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled coldly.

Hua Manlou said: "Who are you? Why did you bring us here?"

The young master smiled apologetically, and said: "I was so busy talking, I forgot to report my family name. In Luo'an, Xialiang, today and this snowy night, I invite the two young masters to come to visit you. Wan Wang, don't think the humble house is mean, please also Hang around for a while."

Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng were a little stunned.When this person said this, it seemed as if he had invited an elegant guest and done an elegant thing, completely forgetting his method of "treating guests"!

None of them had ever heard of a person named "Liang Luoan" in the Jianghu.

Hua Manlou said: "We are strangers to Your Excellency, I don't know why Your Excellency would use such means to 'invite' us?"

Liang Luo'an said: "Although I don't know each other before, I want to see Mr. Hua Qi soon."

Hua Manlou said: "You want to meet me?"

Liang Luoan nodded.

Hua Manlou looked cold, and said, "So you let General Chungui lie in ambush by my side?"

Liang Luo'an said: "When General Chungui entered Huafu, he had nothing to do with this subordinate."

Hua Manlou couldn't hide the disgust on his face: "So, in order to meet me, you bribed General Chungui, made him betray, and even killed your friend!"

Liang Luoan was still very leisurely: "I didn't ask him to do this. I just asked him not to stop me when I took the seventh son away."

Hua ManLou was extremely angry, said: "What did you promise him?"

Liang Luoan looked at Huamanlou with strange eyes.

"What does the seventh son think he promised you? Mountains of gold and silver? Wealth and honor for the rest of his life? Haha!"

He actually laughed mockingly: "I didn't grant him a cent of gold or silver. I only granted him one wish."

"desire?"

"The wish to return home!"

Homecoming, homecoming, General Chungui has been talking about returning home.It turned out that it was not his catchphrase, but his real wish!How many people know this wish?Hua Manlou felt that the centurion scholar must know.

But he must never have imagined that General Chungui would kill him for this wish.

Hua Manlou clenched his fists suddenly.He had never been so cold.

It was warm in the pavilion.

Several girls in yellow clothes came in, holding clothes in their hands.They put thick cloaks on Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng.Lu Xiaofeng got the big red cloak again, but he threw it aside in disgust.

His original cloak was gone when he woke up.Obviously it was taken away by Liang Luoan and used as evidence for kidnapping Lu Xiaofeng.

As for the blood on that cape?It's just that Lu Xiaofeng wiped his nosebleed with it by accident!

The young master turned the hand stove, and the sparks became brighter, but the burning part also quickly dimmed.

After a long time, Hua Manlou said: "You have spent so much effort to find me, what is it for?"

Liang Luo'an said: "I just want to talk to the Seventh Young Master."

Hua Manlou said, "Want to talk to me?"

Liang Luoan turned the wheelchair and faced the courtyard.

"Have you ever been to the north?" Hua Manlou didn't answer.Liang Luo'an continued: "There is a great river and mountain in the north. The people there are hardworking and honest, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The ancestors have worked hard for generations. It's a pity, a pity! It's a pity that the famine came together, the people were displaced, the babies were crying, and the mother squeezed the last milk. out."

Huamanlou naturally knew about the famine in the north.His eldest brother has been busy working on this matter, and the Hua family also donated a lot of money and food.

Liang Luo'an said: "I came from the north. When I came to the south of the Yangtze River, I saw the prosperity of singing and dancing, and the prosperity of the people. I couldn't help but feel envious. At the same time, I felt unwilling! Why are the people in the north suffering from famine? But people in the south even use white rice to feed dogs?" He turned his head and looked at Hua Manlou with burning eyes: "Seventh Young Master, tell me, isn't it unfair? If you saw those hungry people, would you think It hurts?"

Hua Manlou was expressionless, but Lu Xiaofeng laughed!

Liang Luoan looked eagerly at Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's really unfair! It's like you originally had a lot of talents, but you are a cripple! And those stupid people walk around with two legs! Aren't there big differences between people? There was a fair time!"

Liang Luoan's complexion changed, and a cold light flashed in his hand.But Lu Xiaofeng had expected it long ago, the cold glow on the side of his head was fixed on the fruit in his hand!

The place where the lancet was inserted has quickly turned black.

Lu Xiaofeng avoided it and dropped the fruit in fear.

Liang Luo'an smiled, but his eyes were somewhat sinister: "Master Xiao Lu is really a wonderful person, he must ask for advice someday."

Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "No need."

Hua Manlou, who had been expressionless all the time, said at this time: "Since you said that the people in the north are hungry, why can you still eat such fresh fruits on winter nights? This is not a winter fruit! You are from the north, but you are better than those in the south of the Yangtze River People live a rich life. Mr. Liang, don’t you just ask others to abide by your fairness?”

Hua Manlou was rarely angry, but from the very beginning, he has been very angry.

Liang Luoan looked at Huamanlou, feeling a little disappointed.He said: "Seventh son, I thought you would be a famous figure in the world in the future. As a big man, you must have a big mind. How can you just look at the front of everything?" He smiled: "If I If you don't live like this, how can you make friends with the rich people in Jiangnan, sit on an equal footing with them, and master their weaknesses!"

The weakness of the Hua family is that they place too much emphasis on family affection!

Therefore, as long as he catches the youngest Huamanlou, he can force the Hua family to submit.

Hua Manlou looked at him with contempt in his eyes.

Liang Luoan's expression changed, but he tried his best to ignore the past.He felt that there was no need to be angry with a child.

At this time, a person walked over in strides in the wind and snow.He stepped on the snow and walked across the courtyard. He was tall, but his steps were heavy!Each of his feet sank deeply into the snow.The snow field, which had no footprints at first, also became messy because of his arrival.

Seeing this, Liang Luoan frowned in disgust.

That person came over, but Lu Xiaofeng became very vigilant, he stared at that person closely.

The man glanced at them, clasped his fists to Liang Luo'an and said, "Second Young Master, my master asked me to take them over."

Liang Luo'an laughed coldly: "Uncle, we are all from our own family, so why be polite?"

Both Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng were a little surprised.Just now Lu Xiaofeng had already told Hua Manlou with gestures that this person was the one who knocked him out, "Eastern Tiger" Liang Nanshan!

But Liang Nanshan was actually Liang Luoan's uncle!And he seemed to respect Liang Luoan's elder brother, his nephew, as his master?

Liang Nanshan's expression did not change at all: "You are the master's younger brother, so I should naturally respect you."

Liang Luo'an said: "Uncle, your temper has changed a lot."

Liang Nanshan squinted at him, his eyes like electricity: "Second Young Master's temper has also changed a lot."

Liang Luoan's face changed rapidly, almost turning purple.He clenched his fist tightly and pounded on his immobile leg.He stared at Liang Nanshan, and said word by word: "You take me away, but tell your brother, don't forget our agreement."

Liang Nanshan nodded.

He glanced at Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng, suddenly opened his arms, wrapped one in each arm, and rushed into the wind and snow.

Liang Luo'an turned the wheelchair, looked at Liang Nanshan's distant shadow with hatred, swung his sleeves violently, and he swept all the things on the table down.

A girl in yellow was startled, and immediately squatted down to pick it up.

Liang Luo'an turned the wheelchair over, and the girl was picking up broken dishes.Liang Luoan suddenly grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

The broken porcelain pierced deeply into the girl's hand, and bright red blood dripped down.

Liang Luoan smiled distortedly.
