Volume 1 The Four Doors Prequel Chapter 1 Prologue
In the third year of Emperor Wu, the Chiyan Dynasty moved its capital to Changqing. The princes annexed each other, wars broke out everywhere, and even more so pretended to show the people by chance, the general trend of the world was surging, and the dark waters of various forces were surging......
The strong wind blows up the fallen leaves and makes a rustling sound. In the dark night, the ancient road led leisurely into the depths of the woods, an old man staggered forward with a cane, and not far away, a young man of seven or eight years old bowed his head and followed closely, his shabby clothes were mended again and again, his shoes that did not reach his ankles were trimmed with shabby cloth, and his long messy hair hung down at will to cover the child's face. The old man walked and stopped, looking back at the children behind him from time to time, his dirty eyes full of indescribable bitterness......
The old man suddenly stopped, glanced out of the corner of his eye, slowly turned around and hugged the child next to him, and stroked the child's head with one hand: "The child is not afraid."
There was a rumbling sound in the woods, and soon a group of men in black appeared in front of an old man and a young man, and the old man could not remember how many times this was the first time he had been pursued. The pursuit over and over again is like a straw added to the camel's body, which will eventually overwhelm the last strength of the old and the young. The man in black didn't say much, he got up and went straight to the child, the silver-white blade reflecting a chilling light, approaching the old man's side at a speed visible to the naked eye. The old man must have wanted to dodge, but he lost the opportunity in fear, in a hurry, the old man stomped on the crutches in his hand, the crutches with a vague momentum and the dirt scraped along the way slowly fell with the wind, the man in black also stagnated in this empty wind, gradually lost the breath of life, fell beside the old and the young, the nearest is only one step away, the old man looked around, silently breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly took the child's hand and walked forward.
At the end of the road, a bamboo house appeared, surrounded by a bamboo garden surrounded by a fence, a small table in the garden, a bowl of dishes and a pot of wine on the table, and a small dog chasing butterflies in front of the bamboo house. The old man walked in with the child step by step, and the puppy looked up and wagged his tail and ran away.
The old man's footsteps did not stop, and as soon as he stepped into the bamboo door, there was a voice in the room: "You are back."
The old man looked up at the wooden house, like an old man with white hair and temples standing in front of the door waiting for him, his gray hair seemed to be engraved with many indescribable vicissitudes, and the white-haired old man reached out to invite inside. The child followed closely behind him, his little hands grasping the corners of the old man's clothes, and watched all this timidly.
The white-haired old man said, "Lin Yu, you brought him back after all." When you said goodbye four years ago, we guess it would be so, and everyone is waiting for you to come back."
The old man on crutches looked at the white-haired old man in front of him and said hoarsely: Everyone has worked hard, come back this time, perhaps, our lives will come to an end, he can bring us fulfillment, are you all okay?
"Of course we're fine" At this moment, a huge hug came with a strong enthusiasm, "You want to kill us, let me see, no one bullies my little four" A middle-aged strong man appeared in front of him, his exposed chest muscles bulged, and a scar abruptly penetrated the entire chest, and his resolute face appeared in the bamboo room with an unbeatable determination.
On his left heel stood a girl in green clothes with a graceful figure, looking directly at the old man in front of him with gentle eyes, as if there was a crystal in the corner of his eye: "It's good to come back." ”
The old man smiled slightly, turned around and touched the child's head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't be afraid, child, these are not bad people, we will take care of you in the future."
Despite this, the child still looked at the four people in the room timidly, and his body couldn't help but hide in the corner.
The white-haired old man shook his head when he saw it: "Xiaoyu, you take him back to rest first, you still live there four years ago, and things haven't changed the same as when you left, he lives next door to you, and Mo Ran is also waiting for you." The old man named Lin Yu was silent, but his body slowed down for a moment. "Yes, Xiaosi, Mo Ran is still waiting for you, go back and see her, and when you have time in the future, talk about what you have experienced, why is it like this" The strong man patted the old man's shoulder and said. After that, Lin Yu took the child out of the bamboo garden.
Soon, in another bamboo house, a silver bell-like voice sounded: "Brother Lin Yu, you are back, you are finally back, I just heard them say that you are back, it's good to come back," As he spoke, the girl-like person flew over, with tears in the corners of his eyes, but his words were a little more shy.
"It's hard work" Lin Yu hugged the girl quietly, the twilight figure hugging the girl looked particularly warm, and the child next to him looked at it, but he was not as nervous as that. "Brother, this is the child you said you were looking for, he, what's wrong with you, are you hurt?" the girl caressed the old man's face worriedly. "It's okay, it's just a little disguise," and the old man fainted, leaving a panicked child and worried silence......
The next morning, a young man full of elegance walked out of the house, his light blue robe hanging on the ground, and gently glanced at the silence who was looking at the bamboo slips, and slowly walked to the house where the child lived. When he was about to push the door and enter, a big hand grabbed him, Lin Yu looked back, and gestured to him with a shhhing expression: "Fourth, you still look much better like this, the second brother has prepared a dust banquet for you today, you must come in the evening, bring Mo Ran and the young master."
"Okay, second brother, have you been here for a long time?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
"No, I just passed by, I heard Mo Ran say that you passed out yesterday, I came to see you, and by the way, take a look at the young master"
"Let's go in together, he has suffered a lot of blows, and he may have to recover for a while" Lin Yu pushed open the door, walked to the bed with light steps, looked at the child's young cheeks, and his plain face seemed to have a little more affection.
"The young master and the head of the family are really alike," Mancheng said in a low voice.
The child was lying quietly on the bed, the protracted rush made the child's thin body too tired, the white cheeks had already been washed off the stains, and the clothes had been replaced with a set of beige shirts and shorts, Lin Yu looked at it, took out a bottle of concentration from his pocket and gave it to the young man, and was about to leave quietly, when he found that Mancheng slowly stretched out his hand and immediately stopped:" Second brother, his meridians are very weak now, and he can't bear your Xuan Qi, I have already tried, only Hong Shi'an's Xuan Qi is more suitable for him, and Hong Shi'an should have sealed him, outsiders can't enter the Xuan Qi, and there is no way to warm up the meridians for him."
"Hong Shi'an, which Hong Shi'an?" was saying that his eyes suddenly froze, and then he said: "It turns out that he is not dead, but I have inquired about them, and it is said that the brothers were not all killed that night." ”
"Second brother Mancheng, it's not like this, I've already seen Hong Shi'an, the blade department actually knew what happened back then, the blade department received a notice from the head of the family that year, it was originally with the eldest prince to resist foreign enemies in the south, and the decisive battle of the Qingya was fought by the eldest prince, the eldest prince led the light cavalry brigade of the blazing armor army to attack the enemy camp from behind but was suddenly attacked by the enemy's tiger brigade, and the eldest prince ordered the blade department to quickly transmit the message to the main camp, Hong Shi'an was one of the messenger teams at that time"
"So that's the case, then why did he appear next to the young master later, could it be that the head of the family had already expected what would happen?"
"It should be so, later the eldest prince led the crowd to break through, and finally died because of the danger of the terrain, it is rumored that when the head of the family led the army to arrive, the eldest prince was resisting to the death with his personal guards, and the whole army was angered by it and rushed into the camp, after all, it was a step behind, and saw the eldest prince die in the country. ”
"Alas" burst into a long sigh, "My Dongmen family is wise, the head of the family is brave, if it weren't for that mediocrity, I wouldn't have ended up so miserable"
"In order to commemorate the blade, and also to protect the young master, the head of the family ordered Hong Shi'an to take the young master to hide in the border Acheng, Hong Shi'an also mixed up and formed the An Hong family, after all, the young family rose too violently, and was framed by the Qingwu family in the same city, and the Qingwu family colluded with the government to destroy the door overnight" Lin Yu continued.
"That's the case, Hong Shi'an is also a man, waiting for my life to die, these are all our good brothers" Lin Yu nodded silently.
