Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

On the second day, it was sunny.

Lin Rufei entered Liu's mansion with the guests, and saw Liu Rugong in a bright red wedding dress from a distance.Sitting next to him was a graceful and luxurious woman, who was talking to him with a smile on her face, this person was supposed to be the mistress of the Liu residence, Liu Rugong's biological mother.

My son suddenly wants to marry a sword. It stands to reason that Mother Liu's attitude should be to try her best to prevent it, but judging by her attitude at this time, she has accepted this fact. laughing.

Liu Rugong was also laughing, he was dressed in a red dress, he was impeccably handsome, with black hair tied into a crown, his gaze was radiant.Lin Rufei's eyes fell on the Luoshen at his waist, and a piece of bright red silk was tied to the cyan Luoshen sword hilt, which was being held by Liu Rugong at this moment.

As if feeling Lin Rufei's gaze, Liu Rugong stopped talking with his mother, turned his head, smiled at Lin Rufei, and called out to Mr. Lin again.

Lin Rufei responded.

"Take this as your own home." Mr. Liu walked up to Lin Rufei and said with a smile, "Today is busy, so please bear with me if the reception is not good enough."

Lin Rufei said politely.

Liu Rugong led Lin Rufei to the honored guest's seat and seated him, then went to entertain other guests.With nothing else to do, Lin Rufei slowly ate the nuts on the table, and handed them to Gu Xuandu by the way.For this wedding banquet, those who can be invited by the Liu Manor are naturally distinguished guests, and all of them are the ones who have a good relationship with the Liu Manor.These people know Liu Rugong's temper. Although the fact that he wants to marry a sword is indeed incomprehensible to many people, but those who dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of Liu Rugong are really a person who can't understand it with one hand. Count it.

The wedding went smoothly. Liu Rugong prayed to the heaven and earth alone and entered the bridal chamber alone. At first glance, it seemed a little funny, but his serious expression made it impossible to laugh at all.

The atmosphere among the guests was not relaxed. After watching Liu Rugong leave the venue, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to toast to celebrate.Someone made a toast to Lin Rufei, and was very surprised when he learned that he was the fourth son of the Lin family. He said that he had won a sword fight with Mr. Liu a few days ago, and he admired him very much.

Lin Rufei didn't expect that the news had already spread, so she had no choice but to raise a glass to socialize, but he didn't drink very well, and soon became a little tipsy, and a faint blush appeared on his pale cheeks.Knowing that she couldn't drink any more, Lin Rufei excused herself and left the banquet.He didn't know much about Liu's mansion, so he walked along the road and found a quiet corner in Liu's mansion to rest.

Today, the young master is getting married, so the Liu family is naturally very lively.

Lin Rufei was a little drunk, she sat on the stone bench and closed her eyes to meditate.

Gu Xuandu said: "Go back to sleep when you're sleepy."

Lin Rufei said, "I don't seem to have seen Luoshen today."

Gu Xuandu said, "Yes."

Luoshen can appear by Liu Rugong's side at any time, but today until Li Cheng, she did not appear for a moment. Lin Rufei was still thinking about what happened yesterday, and murmured that she should not make her own decisions, she should ask first. Liu Rugong's opinion.Seeing that his expression was downcast, Gu Xuandu thought for a while, and disappeared for a moment. When he came back again, he had two more rice cakes exuding cool air, and there was a layer of rich brown sugar on top, which looked extraordinarily special. tempting.Lin Rufei took it and began to chew on it.

The rice cake is made of glutinous rice, and there is a thin layer of ice slag sprinkled on it, which dissolves the dry smell of alcohol in the mouth.Lin Rufei was full after eating half a piece, and was worrying about the remaining half piece, but Gu Xuandu took it naturally and began to chew it.

Lin Rufei looked at Gu Xuandu in a daze, and said, "You..."

Gu Xuandu didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with his actions, and said, "What's wrong?"

Lin Rufei was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "It's nothing."

The two ate ice-cold rice cakes, and Lin Rufei sobered up a bit. He returned to the banquet, but Liu Rugong was still nowhere to be seen. According to the normal wedding banquet process, as the groom, Liu Rugong would naturally come out. To receive guests, but this was an unusual wedding, since Liu Rugong was invisible, the rest seemed not so important.

Lin Rufei didn't like this kind of occasion, so she found an excuse and left Liu's mansion.It was only when I went out that I remembered that I hadn't handed over the invitation to Master Liu, but judging from his gloomy expression at today's wedding banquet, it was obviously not the right time.

With the big wedding in the Liu Mansion, Gusu City will be full of excitement for a day.

Lin Rufei fell asleep when she returned to the inn, and didn't wake up until midnight.He was a little thirsty, so he got up in a daze to drink some tea.Seeing his confused appearance, Gu Xuan laughed lightly, raised his hand and handed over the teacup.

Lin Rufei took it, swallowed it a few mouthfuls, his lips were stained with water, and his expression gradually cleared up. He coughed twice and said, "What time is it?"

Gu Xuandu responded: "It's just passed."

Lin Rufei hummed, and said, "It's a bit hot..." As he spoke, he tugged at his already loose neckline, revealing a section of snow-white collarbone.Gu Xuandu and Lin Rufei were looking at each other, but suddenly looked away uncomfortably, got up, walked to the window, and opened the window.

There was a soft creak, and the breeze flowed into the house accompanied by the moonlight. Lin Rufei raised her eyes to look out the window, and said, "The moonlight is so beautiful."

"En." Gu Xuandu responded softly.

Lin Rufei slept for too long, so she wasn't too sleepy. She simply sat up from the bed, walked to the window, and looked into the distance: "Eh...why is he there..."

Gu Xuandu said: "Maybe it's because I can't sleep."

On the top of the tallest attic in Gusu City, sat a person who should not have appeared. It was the protagonist of today's wedding, Liu Rugong.He was still wearing the gorgeous wedding dress, the tidy crown on his hair was ripped apart, and the black hair was scattered on his shoulders in a mess, but he had returned to his previous unruly appearance.He was holding a jug of wine in his hand, and was pouring it into his mouth, as if he was not afraid of getting drunk, without stopping for a moment.

This was supposed to be a sad scene, but when Lin Rufei saw clearly the person standing behind him, she couldn't feel sad at all.

It was a strong man with a height of eight feet, with red cheeks and a long beard on his chin. If he was holding a big knife in his hand, Lin Rufei would probably think that Second Master Guan was reborn.

At first Lin Rufei even thought that the scene in front of him was a hallucination caused by drinking too much, he rubbed his eyes heavily, and then rubbed his eyes again until his eyes turned red, then he hissed to Gu Xuandu: "Who is behind Liu Rugong?"

Gu Xuandu calmly said: "Judging from his clothes, he is probably the one we know."

Lin Rufei: "..."

Probably his expression was too collapsed, Gu Xuan stretched out his hands from behind to cover his eyes, his hands were a little cold, covering Lin Rufei's eyes to block all the light: "Don't look, it's time to sleep .”

Lin Rufei didn't speak, and silently pulled Gu Xuandu's hand from her eyes.

That long-bearded man was dressed in green, standing behind Liu Rugong like a Dharma-guarding door god. He didn't have the demeanor of a fairy a few days ago. At this moment, he stood behind Liu Rugong with his hands folded and his face gloomy. What should have been a lonely scene now has an indescribable sense of humor and horror...

It's as if if you look at him a few more times, he will come to chop you with a knife.

Lin Rufei didn't say anything in the end, she closed the window silently, and lay back on the bed with a look of hopelessness.

Gu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought that this Luoshen was worthy of being Liu Rugong's sword, he really had a bad temper, after Liu Rugong said a few words, today he let his temper change into a long-bearded man, if it seems possible, He probably would carry a long knife on his back, and simply stand behind Liu Rugong as a murderous door god.

The sword spirits had no form in the first place, and Lin Rufei was able to see them, which was purely accidental, so what they wanted to look like was almost entirely based on their own intentions, but luckily Liu Rugong couldn't see them.

Lin Rufei, who was hit hard, didn't sleep much in the middle of the night. The next day, she went to Liu's mansion early to deliver the invitation, and then found Liu Rugong to say goodbye, saying that she planned to leave Gusu City in a few days.

Seeing that he was going to leave, Liu Rugong persuaded him a few words without forcing him, but there was a slight hesitation in his expression, as if he wanted to say something.

Lin Rufei knew that she was going to say goodbye to Liu Rugong now, and she didn't know when she would meet again, so she said calmly, "Mr. Liu, what do you want to say?"

Liu Rugong hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Young Master Lin, I have a heartless request..."

Lin Rufei said, "Tell me first?"

Liu Rugong coughed lightly: "I don't know Mr. Lin, can you draw me a portrait of Luoshen?"

Lin Rufei asked strangely, "What do you want this portrait for?"

Liu Rugong smiled and said: "I just want to keep something in mind." He took what happened that night as a story in a storybook, but the story is easy to forget after a long time, if he doesn't keep something, he is worried that one day he will Will really forget, it will inevitably have some regrets.

Lin Rufei thought for a moment, and agreed to Liu Rugong's request, saying that he would send the portrait to Liu Rugong in a few days.

Liu Rugong was very happy to see that Lin Rufei agreed so readily, and said that he would never bring up the matter of Lin Rufei picking up his clothes again.Lin Rufei said sincerely that it's okay to mention it, after all, it's not her who is ashamed.Liu Rugong was immediately speechless, his face turned ashen.

After leaving the Liu Mansion, Lin Rufei stopped by to buy painting materials, planning to spend some time drawing Luoshen's appearance.

Although he didn't practice swordsmanship, he is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his works of painting are even more commendable.Lin Rufei didn't find it troublesome to be able to put such a distinctive beauty like Luoshen on paper.

However, when he returned to the inn and laid out the drawing paper, he didn't write for a long time.

Seeing his frowning expression, Gu Xuandu wondered, "Why don't you draw?"

Lin Rufei raised her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Whenever I recall Luoshen, what comes to mind is the appearance of that big bearded man—"

Gu Xuan laughed directly.

Lin Rufei was very unhappy with his gloat, sighed and pinched the corners of her eyes, with a sad face: "What should I do?"

Gu Xuandu turned his eyes and said, "Do you really want to draw?"

Lin Rufei said: "I have agreed to Liu Rugong."

Gu Xuandu said: "Then let me help you." After he finished speaking, he shook his long sleeves, and his figure changed suddenly, turning into the appearance of Luoshen.

Lin Rufei was stunned: "Senior..."

"What's your name, senior?" Gu Xuan, who had turned into the appearance of Luoshen, smiled coquettishly, his charm was a bit more enchanting than the real Luoshen, as he spoke, he walked up to Lin Rufei and moved his face closer, "But To remember."

Lin Rufei: "..." Senior, you really know how to play.

Seeing Lin Rufei's frightened appearance, Gu Xuan laughed out loud, and then changed back, pointing to the drawing paper on the table: "Do you remember?"

Lin Rufei obediently said: "Remember."

He just draws with a pen.

This painting was painted for five days, during which Lin Rufei didn't even leave the door of the inn, Fuhua Yurui and Fuhua Yurui began to lose their hair, and even asked the innkeeper privately if there were any reliable temples nearby You can say goodbye and see if your young master has been fascinated by some glamorous goblin.Fortunately, Liu Rugong came over halfway and said that Lin Rufei's painting was a friend he knew, so Fuhua Yurui was relieved.

After the scroll was finished, Lin Rufei personally sent it to the Liu Mansion.

Liu Rugong was very happy to see the scroll, but just as he took it, he felt a little strange, and asked, "Young master Lin, why are there two scrolls?"

Lin Rufei calmly explained: "I saw Luoshen again a few days ago."

Liu Rugong didn't understand: "So?"

Lin Rufei said: "Her appearance has changed a little bit, so I drew both...all of them."

Liu Rugong's eyes lit up, and he was very pleasantly surprised: "So that's how it is!"

Lin Rufei let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Rugong's shoulder heavily, and said in a heavy voice that Liu Rugong couldn't understand: "Brother, happy wedding." This picture scroll was taken as his wedding gift to Liu Rugong Bar.

Liu Rugong didn't realize it, thinking that Lin Rufei was just joking with him, so he smiled and said thank you.Then Lin Rufei got up and left without hesitation, without even waiting for Liu Rugong to open the two paintings.

Liu Rugong was not in a hurry, so he sent Lin Rufei away first, then returned to the house, and carefully unfolded the picture scroll that Lin Rufei gave him.A stunningly beautiful woman dressed in Tsing Yi jumped out of the paper, her bright eyes and white teeth were really shining like a flower out of Lubo, just like the Luoshen described in ancient poems.

When Liu Rugong saw the picture scroll, a faint smile appeared on his eyebrows, and then he opened the second picture.However, after seeing the characters on the second scroll, the smile on his face froze and turned into confusion, doubt, and finally stunned...

On the second picture scroll is a long-bearded man in green clothes, with a red complexion, burning eyes, murderous intent, standing with a knife, which is very shocking.

Liu Rugong was indeed shocked, but what shocked him was not the appearance of the painting, but what Lin Rufei said.

Lin Rufei said: "I saw Luoshen again a few days ago, and her appearance has changed a little bit." - The meaning of this sentence is so obvious, even if Liu Rugong wants to pretend not to understand.

This is what Luoshen looks like now.

Liu Rugong lowered his head expressionlessly, looking at the sword at his waist.

The saber buzzed, not giving Liu Rugong any face.

As expected of his sword, Liu Rugong thought, it really has personality... Thinking of this, Liu Rugong put away the two scrolls with a smile.

Many years later, when his descendants of the Liu family inherited Liu Rugong's private property and learned that these were Liu Rugong's two favorite people, he carefully took out a pair and opened it.

Then, they saw the big man on the picture scroll who was glaring at him, as if he was going to kill someone with a knife in the next moment.The members of the Liu clan were shocked, thinking that their ancestor's hobbies were really special, and in the end they didn't dare to open the second one, but carefully sealed them all up.

Lin Rufei left Liu's mansion quickly, afraid that Liu Rugong, who had reacted, would make trouble for him.

Gu Xuan was beside him laughing uncontrollably, and said, little leek, oh little leek, what on earth are you thinking.

Lin Rufei coughed and packed her luggage, and she still didn't forget to explain to Gu Xuandu, but said helplessly that he didn't want to do it, but the appearance of a big man with a long beard was really lingering in his mind. After hesitating, In the end, he picked up a pen and drew Luoshen's appearance.As for Liu Rugong's reaction when he saw the painting, it was out of his consideration.

Lin Rufei packed her luggage and got into the carriage together with Fuhua Yurui. Amidst the sound of hoofbeats, several people drove out of Gusu City together.

The next destination is another small town thousands of miles away from Gusu City. There is a powerful swordsman in that small town. He is not a member of a family, but he is quite famous in the world.This time Kunlun's invitation card also has his share.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, Fuhua specially put a lot of ice cubes in the carriage to cool down, Lin Rufei ate the iced lotus seed soup made by Yurui, and watched the scorching sun outside the carriage.

Now that Yurui was staring at him, Lin Rufei couldn't feed Gu Xuandu, and Gu Xuandu stared at Lin Rufei with a resentful expression, which made Lin Rufei feel embarrassed.

I have no choice but to watch my nose and my heart, pretending not to see

After leaving the city of Gusu, and walking a hundred miles further, the scenery gradually became desolate. After walking for more than ten days, the neat buildings around gradually became low and dilapidated mud houses, and the roads were lined with green wheat waves. The figures of merchants on the road gradually decreased a lot.

The summer wind was hot and dry, blowing away the coolness left in the shade of the trees.But the barefooted child didn't care at all, his skin was already tanned, but he was still running and playing on both sides of the road under the scorching sun.Their carriage happened to drive to a fork in the road, Fuhua stopped the carriage, trying to find a random child to ask for directions.

Unexpectedly, when the children saw the carriage, they all showed panic and fled in all directions. Only one thin child stayed where he was.Seeing this, Fuhua hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and stopped him.

The child was born thin and small, but his eyes were surprisingly large, staring blankly at Fuhua.

"Little friend, which way is going to Fujiazhuang?" Fuhua asked.

The child's expression was a little dazed, as if he didn't understand Fuhua's words, until Fuhua asked three times impatiently, then hesitatingly stretched out his hand and pointed out a way.

Seeing this, Fu Hua was a little worried that the child was pointing at random, so she wanted to ask a few more questions, but the child stuttered a little, and couldn't speak clearly.

Fuhua had no choice but to take a piece of candy and stuff it into the child's hand, planning to find another one to ask.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the candy in her hand was handed out, other children surrounded her. Seeing this, the thin child hurriedly stuffed the candy in her hand into her mouth, and swallowed it whole without even daring to chew it.The candy was too big, and it got stuck in his throat. Seeing that his cheeks were starting to bruise due to lack of oxygen, Fu Hua let out an exclamation, quickly picked up the child, and patted his cheek vigorously. On the back, the child coughed twice before coughing the candy out of his throat.

There were tears in his eyes, but he didn't dare to cry. His next move was to reach out to pick up the candy that fell on the ground.However, the other children moved one step faster than him. After snatching the candy, they didn't care about the dirt on it, and hurriedly ate it into their mouths. This kid is exactly the same.

Fuhua was quite frightened by this situation, pinched the child's face and said angrily: "How can you eat like this, what should you do if you are choked?"

The child didn't cry when his face was pinched by the floating flower, but his eyes fell on the crowd scrambling for the candy. It wasn't until he saw that the candy was shared by the older children that tears began to accumulate in his eyes. The floating flower was the most important thing. The child cried, and suddenly became more flustered.

Lin Rufei also noticed the situation outside in the car, he lifted the curtain and saw Fuhua and the child, he hesitated for a moment, then waved to Fuhua, motioning her to bring the child into the carriage.Fuhua picked up the child, turned around and got into the carriage. The child was very thin, with bones all over his body, and he was motionless in her arms, like a poor doll made of straw.

"What happened?" Lin Rufei asked.

Fuhua hurriedly told the story of asking for directions and the child's throat stuck in sugar. After hearing this, Lin Rufei looked at the tearful child in her arms, and said softly, "Little friend, is there something wrong?" The child is small, and the candy is very likely to hurt his throat.

The child's reaction was very slow, and it took a while to shake his head.

Lin Rufei didn't urge her, but asked Yurui to take out a wet towel and wipe the child's embarrassed face carefully.

The child gradually calmed down, and hid in Fuhua's arms without moving. Lin Rufei asked him a few questions, but he answered them in a blur.

"What should I do?" Fu Hua frowned, "If the parents saw this, they might blame us." Although she gave the candy with good intentions, she didn't take into account the child's small throat. Fortunately, nothing happened...

Lin Rufei said, "Has the child outside left?"

Fuhua went out to have a look, and said helplessly: "They all ran away." The group of children ate the candy and then dispersed, and they didn't know where they went now.

Lin Rufei thought for a while, then turned his attention to the child in front of him. He stretched out his hand and motioned for Fuhua to hand the child to him.

The child was obviously a little scared, but he didn't dare to struggle. He fell into Lin Rufei's arms, as stiff as a rock. Lin Rufei didn't expect the child to be so light, it was almost a layer of skin wrapped around the bones. The pair of dark eyes were terrifyingly big, and they were drooping shyly at this moment, not daring to look at Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei said: "Little friend, where are your parents?"

The child does not speak.

Lin Rufei asked again: "Do you know how to get to Fujiazhuang?"

The kid nodded.

Lin Rufei said: "To the left or to the right?"

"Left..." the child said vaguely.

According to this method, Lin Rufei asked patiently for a long time, and finally managed to figure out the situation of the child. His home is in Fujiazhuang, and the situation of his parents is unknown. For some reason, he appeared on this official road. Lin Rufei Fei asked him if he wanted to go back to Fu's Village, and he nodded vigorously. Seeing this, Lin Rufei hesitated and said, "Why don't we take him back? He should be from Fu's Village."

Fuhua nodded in agreement.

So the carriage drove out again, only this time, there was a little dazed doll in the carriage.

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: I have every look you like

Lin Rufei: Senior, you are so coquettish

Gu Xuandu: Since you want to pursue excitement, then pursue it to the end
