"By the way, my father asked me to tell you by the way, if you have nothing to do tonight, go to your father's room, and my father said that he has something to look for you. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing face to face with him, Lin Lanfeng pursed his lips and smiled lightly, his voice was as warm as the wind.

When Lin Xiaoyang heard this, he immediately withdrew the palm he slapped on Lin Lanfeng's shoulder, nodded heavily at Lin Lanfeng, and replied, "Okay, second brother, I'll go over now." ”

With that, Lin Xiaoyang reflexively grabbed the Long Xiao Sword resting on the stone table behind him, raised his foot and walked in the direction of the courtyard gate.

It's just that Lin Xiaoyang only walked out a few steps, and behind him, there was another warm voice like the wind: "Third brother, ......"

When Lin Xiaoyang heard this, he suddenly stopped, then turned around and looked at Lin Lanfeng, who was still standing on the other side of the stone table, bathed in the cold moonlight, and wondered: "I don't know what else is going on with the second brother?" ”

Lin Lanfeng, who was standing on the other side of the stone table, didn't move, just looked at Lin Xiaoyang from afar, and said slowly as if he was a little hesitant: "Third brother, you were suddenly sent out by your father when you were young, and since then, ...... I haven't been home for nearly 20 years, and the third brother doesn't know or participate in everything that has happened in the family over the years, so it's no wonder that the family doesn't have a deep memory of the third brother. ”

At this point, Lin Lanfeng suddenly stopped talking. After a moment, but seeing Lin Lanfeng pursed his lips, he looked a little uncomfortable and said: "Regarding this, the second brother hopes that the third brother can see a little more." ”

When Lin Xiaoyang heard this, he suddenly grinned at Lin Lanfeng, as if he had returned to the simple and cheerful Lin Xiaoyang he used to be.

I could only hear Lin Xiaoyang smile at Lin Lanfeng with his special clear and sunny voice: "Second brother, don't worry, I have never cared about these things, so it doesn't matter if I can't see it or not." ”

Anyway...... He had never intended to stay in this strange home for long, waiting for his father...... Cough...... Anyway, when everything is over, he will leave the house immediately. It's just that......

Looking at Lin Lanfeng, who was standing under the cold moonlight and his figure looked a little illusory, Lin Xiaoyang sighed in his heart: It's just that after he leaves, his second brother will return to the old days of being lonely and isolated openly and secretly.

Lin Lanfeng didn't know what Lin Xiaoyang was thinking, but he just followed Lin Xiaoyang's words just now, and continued: "Third brother, you also know that the second brother and I have been weak since I was a child, except for useless things such as being able to recite poems, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, for more than 20 years, the second brother has really contributed nothing to this family......

Speaking of this, Lin Lanfeng paused his voice, then took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, as if sighing.

Looking up at the round of lonely moon in the sky, Lin Lanfeng's voice seemed a little ethereal when he spoke again: "Over the years, the eldest brother has indeed worked hard and painstakingly for this family. Especially after his father fell ill, the eldest brother became the pillar of the family, and everything in the family was handled by the eldest brother.

In the past year, if it weren't for the support of the eldest brother, our Lin family would have ...... from the five major martial arts families long ago Delisted. Therefore, the eldest brother is the most capable and capable of our three children for our mother, and he is the one who has been with my mother for the longest time and is also the most loved by my mother......"

The words gradually stopped, Lin Lanfeng withdrew his gaze from looking up at the lonely moon in the sky, and turned to look at Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing not far from him in front of him.

Lin Lanfeng slowly opened his mouth, although there was no smile on his face, but his voice was as warm as the wind as always: "Third brother, don't misunderstand, the second brother has no other meaning to say these words to you, the second brother just thinks ...... If my mother said anything too much tonight, third brother, you ...... Don't take it to heart. ”

As soon as he heard Lin Lanfeng's last sentence, Lin Xiaoyang was already mentally prepared when Lin Lanfeng's words first started, but after Lin Lanfeng really said this, Lin Xiaoyang was still stunned: It turns out that ...... What happened tonight, his second brother knows......

Now that Lin Lanfeng already knows, Lin Xiaoyang will no longer hide it.

Nodding generously at Lin Lanfeng, Lin Xiaoyang pursed his lips and replied with a smile: "I know, second brother." After a pause, Lin Xiaoyang said again: "Second brother, if there is nothing else, I will go to my father's place." ”

Nodding, Lin Lanfeng responded softly: "Well, go ahead!" But third brother, don't talk to your father for too long, you know, your father's body ...... Not so good. Also, my father's sleep is not good, I can't hear the sound when I fall asleep, so the third brother will come back after talking to his father, don't stay at my father's place and disturb my father's rest. ”

In the end, he was still not at ease, and at the end, Lin Lanfeng told Lin Xiaoyang so carefully.

Hearing Lin Lanfeng's meticulous instructions, Lin Xiaoyang only felt funny in his heart, but he couldn't laugh because Lin Lanfeng said all the truth.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoyang had no choice but to nod at Lin Lanfeng with a calm face, and replied helplessly: "Yes, second brother, I know." ”

After saying this, Lin Xiaoyang turned around again, carried the Long Xiao Sword, and walked in the direction of the courtyard gate.

"Second brother, go back to the house and rest early, don't stand outside for a long time, you'll catch a cold." Before he was about to walk out of the courtyard gate that had been built into a full moon shape, Lin Xiaoyang suddenly stopped and reminded Lin Lanfeng without looking back.

This time, Lin Xiaoyang didn't linger any longer, raised his feet and walked out of this courtyard in three or two steps.

On this side, Lin Lanfeng, who was still standing upright at the stone table in the courtyard, quietly watched Lin Xiaoyang's figure disappear outside the courtyard gate built into a full moon shape, Lin Lanfeng couldn't help but think of the scene he saw when he returned to this small courtyard in the cold moonlight just now-

In the sky, a miserable white solitary moon hangs on the deep night, dotted with a few cold stars, and the moonlight tonight is clear and cold.

On the ground, one side was clear and cold, there were no plants, and in the bare courtyard, a long sword rested on a miserable white white jade table illuminated by the cold moonlight. The inky hilt of the long sword was hollowed out to carve into the shape of a dragon's head, and the dragon's eye was also inlaid with golden gemstones.

The long sword that looked a little flashy from the outside he knew, it was the Dragon Xiao Sword that his third brother carried with him.

At that time, his third brother, who was not much in appearance and in much shape, was wearing only a thin navy blue robe...... He was sitting on a stone bench with his back to the white jade table.

And because his third brother craned his neck and looked at the cold moon in the sky, the high bundle of black hair on the back of his third brother's head hung down on the table top of the white jade table, and the long end of the ink-colored hair spread out on the table top of the white jade table, which was lined with a soft halo by the white moonlight and the white white jade tabletop.

The moon is bright, the stars are scarce, the son is like jade, and he is accompanied by a long sword...... Such a scene should have been a beautiful scenery under the moon, but when he saw it in his eyes at the time, how did he think of his third brother...... Lonely and desolate......

Speaking of which, since the end of last month, when his third brother returned to the Lin family's main village, the Long Xiao Sword and his third brother have almost always been inseparable.

Where there is his third brother, there must be a dragon roaring sword. And where there is the Long Xiao Sword, you will definitely be able to see his third brother!

Since eighteen years ago, after the family of the "Howling Shadow Twins" suddenly disappeared inexplicably and quietly, the rumors about Long Xiaojian in the rivers and lakes of the Nine Kingdoms have disappeared together for eighteen years.

However, at the end of last month, his third brother, who had been away from home for 18 years, not only suddenly returned to the Lin family's main village, but also came back with Long Xiaojian, who had disappeared for more than 18 years......

Such earth-shattering news means that he didn't care about things in the rivers and lakes in the past, and he should know it.

What's more, although he was born unable to practice martial arts, although he has never been liked by the Lin family and the Lin family, but because he was born as the son of the Lin family, even if his body is weak, he is still half a Jianghu person.

Since he is in the rivers and lakes, there are many things, even if he doesn't want to know, he can't do it.

It is true that his third brother has been away from home for eighteen years, and now he is not only home, but also with Long Xiaojian, who has disappeared for more than eighteen years, he is naturally happy as an elder brother.

It's just that some people may not be happy for his third brother.

Because after that, why did his third brother hold the Dragon Xiao Sword? Why did the last owner of the Long Xiao Sword suddenly disappear without a trace? Does the disappearance of the "Howling Shadow Twins" have anything to do with his third brother...... Questions like this quietly spread in the Lin family's main village.

In just a few days, he heard many versions of these nonsense questions -- rumors.

That's right, it's a rumor, because the truth is far from what those people have spread.

Others didn't know, but he knew, their mother knew why his third brother held the Dragon Xiao Sword. However, their mother chose to stand by and watch as the unfavorable remarks against his third brother spread more and more, and the more and more difficult it became to hear.

He knew very well what their mother was planning. It's just that as a son of man, even if some of his parents' behaviors are wrong, he can't criticize them, otherwise it will be unfilial!

What's more, their mother is not actually bad in nature, but she is too partial......

In fact, there is another person who also knows the truth of the matter, and that is their father!

But neither he nor his third brother would take such a thing to bother their father, who was bedridden and had few days left......

Although this kind of thinking is a bit rebellious, he and his third brother really just want their father to leave in peace, and not to leave a lot of worries when they leave......

As a result, the gossip that permeated the Lin family's main village spread more and more and intensified.

Fortunately at first, those who made the speech still knew what "restraint" was, but after a few days, those who made the speech saw that no one cared about them, and the rumors that came out later became more and more unbearable.

He thought that even he had inevitably heard so many gossips, and his third brother, who had ears that were many times better than him, must have heard a lot of messy and unpleasant gossip.

In fact, he knew most of the rumors about Long Xiaojian's past, as well as the slight relationship between his third brother and the last master of Long Xiaojian.

After all, he is more than two years older than his third brother, and his relationship with his third brother when he was a child can be considered good, especially his third brother was very willing to share his heart with him when he was a child, so he will know those "insiders".

It's just that those pasts, as early as that year, when his third brother left home to learn art, their father had strictly ordered him not to mention it in the future, no matter what happened in the future. And the other subordinates in the family who know the "inside story" are all ......

Before that incident, he never felt that he was the Lin family, and the Lin family's sister-in-law had nothing to show off, but he felt that the identity of the "Lin family" and "Lin family's son-in-law" was an invisible shackle that locked him firmly in the small world of the Lin family's main village.

When he was a child, he even hated his identity as a "Lin family" and "son of the Lin family", if it weren't for this, he would not have been disliked by his biological parents and disliked by his relatives because he was born weak and unable to practice martial arts.

But at that time, he was really very lucky, glad that he was the Lin family, glad that he was the son of the Lin family, and glad that he was one of their father's bloodlines, otherwise his fate would not be as simple as being banned!

Since then, he has silently accepted his identity as the "Lin family" and "son of the Lin family".

Then again, because the rumors that came out later were too bad, he also thought about comforting his third brother and asking him not to care about those gossips, after all, the pure ones are self-purifying.

However, when his third brother came back after eighteen years away from home, he seemed to be a different person, and he didn't want to talk to him about anything. In particular, since returning to the Lin family's main village, his third brother has never mentioned anything related to Long Xiaojian to anyone, and he has never taken the initiative to ask......

Although he knew the past and knew that his third brother was actually very innocent, since he pretended not to know from the beginning, he could only pretend to keep pretending.

Not only could he not defend his third brother, but he even ...... In the end, he didn't try to comfort his third brother......

Until tonight, when he saw his third brother sitting alone in the courtyard, he suddenly felt extremely sad for his third brother.

After more than 18 years away from home, he finally returned home, only to find that there was no place for him in this home. Not only did he not have a foothold, but even he only held a sword that disappeared and reappeared, and his family members had to make up so many messy gossip...... Alas...... These days, it's really hard for his third brother...... (To be continued.) )
