Li Xunhuan and A Fei

A Fei asked Li Xunhuan why he gave his portrait as a gift, and Li Xunhuan casually said that he would use it as a toy for you.

A Fei has never had a toy since he was a child. When other children are playing happily, A Fei is struggling to survive, taking care of his sick mother, decocting medicine, hunting, cooking, and doing laundry. He is busy every day.After his mother passed away, A Fei lived alone, and he couldn't think of making a toy for himself.

He can only practice martial arts.

His world is extremely simple, besides practicing martial arts, he is still practicing martial arts.

When his mother was dying and asked him to find his father and make him famous, he dared not slack off, let alone waste time on entertainment. A wooden figure carved by Li Xunhuan was the first toy A Fei received in his life, and also the only one. .

Ah Fei is very fond of this portrait. He wants to put it on the table so that he can see it all the time, but he is afraid of being dusted or damaged. He wants to hide it in a box, but he is afraid of being damp in the box.If the portrait wasn't too big, Ah Fei would have put it in his bosom and hid it next to his body.

In the end, Ah Fei found Li Xunhuan, and childishly ordered him to carve a small one for me next time!It's too big to put it anywhere!

It caused Li Xunhuan to chuckle.

A Fei ran away amidst Li Xunhuan's laughter.

A Fei also wanted to give Li Xun Huan a statue in return. From then on, whenever he had nothing to do, he would use the dagger his mother left him to carve wood.A Fei's dream is to carve a "Li Xunhuan", a very similar one, a small one that Li Xunhuan can carry on his body anytime, anywhere.

A Fei secretly engraved it without telling Li Xunhuan, he wanted to give it to Li Xunhuan suddenly after it was engraved, just like Li Xunhuan suddenly gave it to himself, it was a kind of surprise.

Poor Hobby didn't make it.

He saw how easy Li Xunhuan carved wood, and thought it was a very simple matter, but he didn't know that until he got started.Li Xunhuan's hands are very steady, he can handle the knife like flying, and he is skillful, A Fei sneaked a few times to see it, and gradually realized that there is a lot of knowledge in it.

After A Fei secretly carved an unknown number of pieces of wood, he looked at Li Xun Huan's carving technique, and asked him if he had any insight, is your knife technique very good?

Li Xunhuan smiled at him, but did not speak.

A Fei grabbed Li Xunhuan's wood-carved knife and gently stroked the blade with his thumb. He had never seen Li Xunhuan's weapon, nor had he seen Li Xunhuan hurt anyone, but he knew that Li Xunhuan's internal energy was profound and pure, and Li Xunhuan's martial arts were extremely advanced. unfathomable.For the first time, he took a closer look at Li Xun Huan's carving knife.

The length of the knife is [-] inches and [-] fen, very ordinary shape, made of fine steel, the blade is very thin, it seems too thin for a carving knife, but it is just right as a concealed weapon.A Fei raised his head, looked straight into Li Xun Huan's eyes, and asked him, I've never seen you use any weapon, so your weapon is this carving knife?

Li Xunhuan didn't want to lie to A Fei, so he nodded.

A Fei asks what is the name of your weapon.

Li Xunhuan paused and said four words. This was the first time Ah Fei heard this name. After many years in the world, he heard people in the world talk about these four words countless times with expressions of admiration or fear:

Romantic Swordsman.

At that time, A Fei didn't know what these four words meant to the people of Jianghu, and he didn't know the name of Xiao Li Tanhua. The 15-year-old A Fei, with his beast-like intuition, keenly felt that Li Xunhuan was unusual.He told Li Xun Huan in a very determined tone, you must be famous.

Li Xun Huan remembered that A Fei had said almost exactly the same thing to him in his previous life, he sighed, and answered the same as his previous life, he said being famous is not a good thing.

A Fei still wanted to ask more questions, but Li Xunhuan changed the subject and asked A Fei to buy wine for him, and A Fei went.

After the family situation got better, Li Xun Huan fell into alcohol addiction again. He felt sorry for A Fei's difficulty in earning money, but Li Xun Huan was not as unrestrained as before. Besides, with A Fei watching, it was impossible for Li Xun Huan to get drunk.The 20-year-old Zhuyeqing in the wine shop in the east of the town was bought by A Fei for Li Xunhuan to drink. Not only that wine shop, but the whole town's good wine was almost drunk by Li Xunhuan.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it doesn't matter if there are not all the New Year's goods nearby, only things like wine are indispensable.Li Xunhuan sent A Fei to buy wine. If there is no good wine in the town, go to the county to buy it. If there is no good wine in the county, go to the state capital. In short, buy as much as possible.

Ah Fei has improved his skills over the past few years, he has saved some silver taels from hunting, which can barely afford Li Xunhuan's drinking.

With one month left until the end of the year, the wine jars that Ah Fei bought at Li Xunhuan's request filled one wall.

Ah Fei thought that this amount of wine would be enough for Li Xun Huan to drink.

Li Xunhuan thought that he should drink sparingly with such a small amount of wine, and it would be best if he could last until the first day of the new year.

A Fei calculated how much Li Xun Huan drank in a day, thinking that he should drink half a jar a day at most, any more would hurt his body, so he could drink the wine until the spring of next year.

Li Xun Huan calculated that he drank at least three altars a day, at the most until the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, he reluctantly reduced the three altars to two and a half altars.

Ten days before the end of the year, Li Xunhuan and A Fei went to the market together.

This was the first time the two went shopping together. A Fei wanted to hold Li Xun Huan's hand for a walk, but he was too embarrassed to follow Li Xun Huan along the way, looking for opportunities secretly.Li Xun Huan occasionally thinks that A Fei walks slowly, and pulling his lapel can make A Fei secretly laugh for a long time.If Li Xun Huan patted him on the shoulder, it would make Ah Fei so happy that he wanted to jump high.

Li Xunhuan interpreted this as a child's heart, and felt that it was good that A Fei was always so lively, and he became more determined to take A Fei out more in the future.He didn't know that Ah Fei was not happy because he went shopping, but because he went out with Li Xun Huan.

There are vendors on both sides of the street, and the goods are dazzling, which makes people dizzy.The two walked in tandem, Li Xunhuan was in front, and A Fei was quietly protecting him from behind, lest he be bumped by the crowd.

Talking and laughing all the way, unaware of the passage of time.

Li Xun Huan saw everything new, when he was young, his servants would buy new year's goods, and he had a veteran to help him outside the customs for ten years, so he didn't need to do everything by himself, it was the first time for him to do things by himself, and he didn't know what to buy.Ah Fei told him to buy it, he was afraid of spending money, so he just looked at it with curious eyes and let it go.

Ah Fei also looked at everything new, he didn't know all the toys for children, he didn't have all the toys that teenagers should use, Li Xunhuan saw his eyes shining, asked him to buy them, he didn't buy them, and left after looking at them.

So the two of them were curious about everything they saw, but walked around all morning without buying anything.

Strolling from the beginning to the end of a street, the two people were very interested, looking here and there, walking back empty-handed.At first, the stall owners would sell their goods to them, but when they saw them coming back from their second visit, the stall owners didn't even bother to greet them.

Li Xunhuan and A Fei wandered around until the afternoon, they were hungry, so they went to eat wontons at a roadside stall.

Ah Fei saw someone eating longevity noodles at the table next to him, and asked Li Xunhuan what it was. Sometimes you can also buy it for Ah Fei.

A Fei thought for a while before answering that his birthday was the 25th of the first lunar month. Li Xunhuan made a note and agreed to celebrate A Fei's birthday.Li Xun Huan apologized to A Fei for not celebrating A Fei's birthday in the three years since he came here.Ah Fei said it's okay, anyway, he didn't celebrate Li Xunhuan's birthday.It caused Li Xunhuan to laugh out loud.A Fei saw Li Xun Huan smiling, so he also lowered his head and laughed, hiding the hint of sadness in his eyes.

Li Xunhuan didn't know that in the past 15 years, no one had celebrated Ah Fei's birthday, so that when Li Xunhuan asked him about his birthday, he had to think about it before he remembered it.

Li Xun Huan never knew that his small, seemingly insignificant act of kindness would cause such a storm in A Fei's heart.

Li Xun Huan is kind-hearted by nature, generous and refined, he has always been gentle in his dealings with others, he likes to help others, and he doesn't feel that he is too good to A Fei.But for A Fei, who grew up in the wild with his mother, what Li Xunhuan gave was already bigger than the sky.

A Fei is a lone wolf who grows up in the boundless night. He believes that the strong are respected and the fittest survive. What his mother taught him is also the law of the jungle.His mother didn't really dote on him, and later even this mother who didn't dote on him died, so A Fei had no relatives and lived alone in the world.

He lived in the dark, and he may have felt uncomfortable at first, but his strong self-control made him adapt to the darkness quickly, and he didn't feel that it was darkness.

Until Li Xunhuan appeared.

He could have adapted to the darkness if he had never seen the light of day.

When he met Li Xunhuan at the beginning, he hated Li Xunhuan so much, he didn't want to talk to him, didn't want to see him, didn't want to talk to him, it was because he intuitively felt that Li Xunhuan had too much influence on him. He put his heart on anyone, because anyone would leave him, and he didn't want to suffer such a blow again.

It's a pity that Ah Fei still fell in love with Li Xunhuan in the end.

Just like a person suffering from eye disease is cured, when he sees the sun for the first time, it is impossible for him not to fall in love with the sun.

People naturally like things that can bring them warmth, and A Fei is no exception.

A Fei tried his best to catch the only ray of sunshine in his life.

He treated Li Xun Huan well in his own clumsy way.He hunted desperately, and he didn't hesitate to get injured, just to make money to buy wine for Li Xunhuan.He is much younger than Li Xunhuan, but he is the one who takes care of Li Xunhuan in his life.He still doesn't know Li Xun Huan's origin and past, he doesn't even know why Li Xun Huan appeared, but he is still willing to support Li Xun Huan.

He thought, when he arrived, he would bring Li Xunhuan into the customs, go to the bustling city, roam the rivers and lakes, and make a name for himself.He wants Li Xunhuan to witness his fame with his own eyes. When he climbs to the top and becomes a great hero admired by everyone, he can confidently say to Li Xunhuan, stay by my side forever. After meeting you, I don't want to, and I can't , and back into the darkness.

He is so eagerly looking forward to the new year, after this year he will be 16 years old, one step closer to becoming an adult, he will grow from a young grass to a strong tree little by little, sheltering Li Xunhuan from the wind and rain .

Oh, maybe Li Xunhuan himself is another big tree and doesn't need him to shelter him from the wind and rain.

Then the two trees should grow together and stand side by side to meet all the ups and downs of this sad and cruel world.

Ah Fei is looking forward to that day, he thinks, that day——

Will come!
