Chapter 144: Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived

It has been a while since the last time they went to the primeval forest reserve to rescue the fat man, and more than half of the winter vacation has passed, and the last festival in China has arrived.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the small town, every household is happily preparing New Year's goods, pasting Spring Festival couplets, hanging lanterns, and is full of joy.

The orphanage is the same today, it is unusually hilarious, the director Lin Wanxin is standing in the courtyard, directing Lin Jinghan to post couplets.

"This way, this way, yes, yes, that's it, okay." Lin Wanxin's body bones are very tough now, and half of her sideburns are green silk, which grew later, making Lin Wanxin look much younger.

Lin Jinghan pasted the couplet according to Lin Wanxin's command, and then quickly hung the red lantern high, the bright red looked different hot and beautiful in this depressed winter.

Looking at the dazzling red patches in the simple courtyard, Lin Jinghan couldn't stop sighing in her heart, hey, it would be nice if Xiao Yi was here, these things have always been what he has done.

I don't know what happened to Xiaoyi after she went back? Looking at the direction of Shuzhong, Lin Jinghan was stunned.

While Lin Jinghan was thinking about Lin Tianyi, Lin Tianyi was also doing the same thing.

It has been almost a month since Lin Tianyi returned to Tangmen, and he has already adapted to the environment here.

The Tang Gate is hidden in a mountain peak in Shuzhong, because of the blessing of the formation, the mountain peak is foggy from the outside, and it is impossible to see the appearance of human habitation at all.

Lin Tianyi's return to the Tang Gate was a big event, which made the entire Tang Gate boil for a while.

Of course, some people are boiling, and some people are just upside down.

Because Lin Tianyi is the outcast child of Tang Junyi, the master of the contemporary Tang Sect, and he is the only child.

Lin Tianyi's return has directly hindered some people's ambitions and hegemony, even if Lin Tianyi has not yet been declared as the heir, some people will also regard Lin Tianyi as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and they can't wait to get rid of him quickly.

It's just that now is not the time, so after Lin Tianyi returned to the Tang Gate, he seemed to be happy, but how many people knew about the undercurrent under this harmony?

Tang Junyi is very sorry for the child who has been looking for more than ten years, Tang Junyi's wife died of dystocia, and Lin Tianyi was stolen by thieves when he was a child, Tang Junyi has not given up looking for more than ten years, he believes that his child must still be in the world, waiting for him to find it.

Sure enough, it lived up to expectations, although it took more than ten years, the child was finally recovered.

Tang Junyi is a very strict person, after all, as a large sect like the Tang Sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, it is not possible without majesty, and it cannot be suppressed, Tang Junyi has been making things difficult for more than ten years on the grounds that he has no successor, and Tang Junyi's identity as the master of the door has not been affected a little, it can be seen that Tang Junyi is also quite not simple.

However, this man who is quite majestic is so cautious when facing Lin Tianyi.

For this child born to his wife with all his might, the crystallization of the love between the two of them, he really loves it to the bones, and now he is adding guilt for Lin Tianyi, so that he is obedient to Lin Tianyi, without the slightest shelf, he really wants to pour all the love that has not been given for more than ten years into Lin Tianyi, but Lin Tianyi's cold attitude makes Tang Junyi a little constrained and at a loss.

That's it.

"Xiaoyi, this is the dish for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, you see if there is anything you don't like to eat, or if there is anything you like to eat that is not written here, you sue sù dad, dad immediately changed." The dishes of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner have been fixed by the Tang Sect since ancient times, and they cannot be changed without authorization, but now Tang Junyi does not take these ancestral systems into account at all.

"It's okay, I'm not a picky eater." Lin Tianyi still had a paralyzed face, he didn't even glance at the menu handed over by Tang Junyi, his eyes were still fixed in the direction of the town, and he seemed to feel Han's thoughts about him.

Yes, that's Han, Lin Tianyi doesn't want to call her sister anymore, he has always been ignorant and depressed in his heart, because this parting has burst out.

Han, you wait for me, I will definitely go back in the shortest time, and at that time, I will accompany you and never give up.

Tang Junyi is used to Lin Tianyi's coldness, but his face is still a little gloomy, this child has been back for so long, he has never taken the initiative to talk to him, he has directly ordered Uncle Tang for everything, and so far this child has not called him father.

Lin Tianyi caught a glimpse of Tang Junyi's gloomy expression out of the corner of his eyes, his heart was a little uncomfortable, he pursed the corners of his lips, weirdly awkward, he didn't know how good the man in front of him was, just because he was used to not being accompanied by his loved ones in the orphanage, besides, in the orphanage, he never felt wronged, as long as he was with Han, even if it was hard, he felt happy.

He was grateful to this man as a father, but to let him accept this man who had never appeared in his life at once, he had a hurdle in his heart, and he couldn't jump over it for the time being.

"Oh, okay, Xiaoyi, although the temperature in the mountains is not low, but you still have to pay attention to keeping warm, look at you, you wear two thin shirts, it is easy to catch a cold." Tang Junyi put away the gloomy expression on his face, now that he is fine, the child has returned to his side, it is better than only looking at the portrait of him when he was a child.

Tang Junyi took off his robe and walked towards Lin Tianyi's shoulder, Lin Tianyi reflexively wanted to dodge, but when he saw Tang Junyi's stiff face, he stopped moving, froze there, and acquiesced to Tang Junyi's actions, which made Tang Junyi's heart happy, and a face that had been strict all the year round showed a big smile at this time, just such a trivial matter made the Tang Sect master so happy and angry.

Wearing the long gown that was still warm, Lin Tianyi pursed the corners of his mouth again, looking at Tang Junyi's smiling face, moved to his heart, an impulse struck, Lin Tianyi opened his mouth, and the word father was about to be called, but at this moment, someone came in and made Lin Tianyi shut his mouth again.

Tang Junyi didn't see this scene, otherwise, he would definitely slaughter the person who came in, and the opportunity he had so hard to look forward to was missed.

"Door master, did you write this year's couplet?" The next person came in to ask for instructions, in previous years, the family did not post these couplets, except for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner that must be eaten at night, the place where Tang Junyi lived did not have any Spring Festival joy, and this year is different, the young master has gone home, and the next person believes that this time it should be different.

The Tang Gate has always been in a semi-closed state, and it is rare to go down the mountain under normal circumstances, so these couplets are written by their own families.

"Write, of course." Tang Junyi restrained the smile on his face, but his voice was still a little difficult to suppress, and he shouted with excitement, which startled the next person, he had never seen the door master look so out of shape.

In the eyes of these subordinates, Tang Junyi is a god-like existence, strict and rigorous, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, but now he has a chest that cannot be controlled, which makes the subordinates know more clearly how much Lin Tianyi, the young master who has just returned, is valued by Tang Junyi, and his heart is even more awe-inspiring.

"Yes, the little one goes down and prepares." The subordinates retreated in a regular manner and went to prepare the red paper for writing couplets, as for the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Tang Junyi's study is commonly used, so there is no need to prepare it specially.

Hearing the word Spring Festival couplets, Lin Tianyi's eyes lit up, when he was in the orphanage, every time he pasted the Spring Festival couplets, Lin Jinghan would deliberately blindly command, asking him to go to the right for a while, to the left for a while, and toss him hard, and he was still happy and willing.

"Xiaoyi, do you want to go along?" Tang Junyi asked cautiously, not daring to have the slightest compulsion.

"Hmm." Lin Tianyi nodded, which made Tang Junyi happy again, and a smile appeared on his face again, but this time he converged quickly, not as out of control as before.

With Lin Tianyi, Tang Junyi came to his study in a good mood.

Tang Junyi's study Lin Tianyi came in for the first time, he came to the Tang Sect for so long, after a little understanding, he asked Tang Bo to take a secret book and start cultivating, Lin Jinghan gave him the marrow washing pill he had already taken, after washing the marrow and cutting the marrow, he was even more demonic, and his cultivation speed was fast, and when everyone didn't know it, Lin Tianyi had already cultivated to the second order.

Lin Tianyi is an out-and-out genius, not Lin Jinghan was promoted from behind, if there is no rebirth, if there is no ability, Lin Jinghan may have to do nothing for the rest of his life, just like the previous life, and Lin Tianyi has been a genius since he was a child, before Lin Jinghan was reborn and came back, the life of the orphanage was sad, and at that time, the little Lin Tianyi learned to hide clumsy, just because his identity as an orphan made some people look down on him, so he has always belonged to the kind of taciturn and unsociable existence in the impression of others. It wasn't until Lin Jinghan came back from rebirth and rose strongly that he began to slowly take off his disguise and shine.

Therefore, Lin Tianyi's cultivation speed is only faster than Lin Jinghan at the beginning, and Lin Tianyi wants to get stronger quickly and return to Lin Jinghan's side, that strong will has given birth to Lin Tianyi's cultivation speed.

Tang Junyi's study is an important place in the Tang Gate, not just anyone can enter, there are many secrets of the Tang Gate, but Tang Junyi does not fortify Lin Tianyi at all.

This is his son, the next head of the Tang Sect, what is the problem of entering the study, if it weren't for the fact that Lin Tianyi is still young now, and many things have not yet been learned and mastered, he will definitely hand over the entire Tang Sect to him.

In Tang Junyi's heart, the Tang Sect belongs to Lin Tianyi 100%, this is his only heir, who will he not give it to?

It's just that he didn't think about whether Lin Tianyi wanted it or not.

The antique study is very similar to the one in TV, the big bookcases on both sides are full of books, a big desk is placed in the center, a big Taishi chair behind the desk, there are two rows of chairs in front of the desk, it seems to be for people to sit in when discussing things, there are two potted plants in the corner of the room, adding a touch of vitality to this old-fashioned study, a strong bookish atmosphere mixed with a faint ink fragrance wafting in this study, there is a feeling of historical precipitation.

There is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, neatly placed, a bunch of study rooms on one side, and an open account book in the middle, which should be the owner reading the accounts before.

"Xiaoyi, you sit first, are you hungry? In the mood for some pastry? I called for someone to bring it in. Tang Junyi eagerly asked Lin Tianyi to sit down on the chair, and asked with concern, as if he had forgotten that he couldn't eat at will in this study.

"No, you don't." Lin Tianyi really wanted to say that you don't have to please me like this, but seeing the doting look in Tang Junyi's eyes, as if he was going to bring the whole world to him, Lin Tianyi held back again.

"Door master, something has been delivered." The voice of the subordinate sounded outside the door, Tang Junyi personally went out and brought the red paper in, the study, the subordinate cannot enter at will.

Tang Junyi was in a good mood, took the red paper and laid it out on the desk, grinded it, and then picked up the wolf and dipped it in ink, and wrote the couplet on the red paper freely.

Lin Tianyi walked up to him, looked at Tang Junyi's righteous and awe-inspiring hand, his eyes lit up, this character is really well written!

Majestic, majestic, with a majesty, that kind of arrogance and demeanor are fully displayed in a pair of words.

It is said that reading words is like looking at people, as soon as Tang Junyi's couplet came out, Tang Junyi's upright and righteous personality was highlighted, making Lin Tianyi realize his father so intuitively for the first time.

Tang Junyi wrote the couplet in one go, and then turned around and saw Lin Tianyi standing beside him, and his heart was very happy, this was the first time his son took the initiative to walk to his side.

"Xiaoyi, how is Dad's handwriting?" Tang Junyi asked with some pride, the kind of appearance that seemed to show off and begged for praise to be seen by outsiders, and his jaw did not fall to the ground.

"Good, good!" Lin Tianyi raised his head, his eyes were shining, and he did not hide his love for this character, "Father, I want to learn words from you!" ”

When Tang Junyi was extremely happy because of Lin Tianyi's praise, he suddenly heard the latter sentence, his expression was stunned, his eyes widened suddenly, in disbelief, it seemed that he was hallucinating, and he said tremblingly: "Xiaoyi, you, what did you say just now?"

Lin Tianyi didn't expect that the words he blurted out would bring such a big shock to Tang Junyi, but why didn't he feel the shock in his heart, it turned out that calling his father was not as difficult as he imagined!

Looking at Tang Junyi's look of disbelief and longing, Lin Tianyi's heart swelled with warmth, and he said lightly, "Father, please teach me how to learn words!" The voice was steady, with an emotion that had never appeared before, a feeling of admiration, this man was his father.

"Smack!" The brush horn held in Tang Junyi's hand fell on the desk with a click, destroying the freshly written couplet, but Tang Junyi didn't look at it at all, his eyes looked straight at Lin Tianyi, stretched out his trembling hands, and hugged Lin Tianyi's thin-looking body tightly into his arms, his eyes were red, and there was a crystal liquid gathering under his eyes.

"Child, child, call 'Father' again!"

"Father!" Lin Tianyi was embraced by a broad chest, and a feeling of being able to rely on rose in his heart, which was as thick as a mountain and made Lin Tianyi feel at ease.

"Hey!" Tang Junyi replied loudly, the joy in his voice was thick, and the liquid under his eyes that had been forcibly suppressed slipped down at this moment, falling on the back of Lin Tianyi's neck, but the cold liquid was ironed in Lin Tianyi's heart.

Suddenly, a pulse of warmth rose in the ancient and old-fashioned study.

Lin Jinghan retracted her gaze, she seemed to feel Lin Tianyi's mood, and a reassuring smile rose on the corner of her mouth, Xiaoyi should be doing well there!

It's just, Xu Shengrui, where are you now? It's been half a year now, why haven't you come to me yet? Are you stuck in something? Are you okay now?

Lin Jinghan never doubted that Xu Shengrui would abandon her, she only knew that Xu Shengrui had not come yet, and she didn't know if he was in danger, and she couldn't stop worrying in her heart, but she didn't know where Xu Shengrui was, and there was no direction to find it.

Next time, even if it will make Xu Shengrui feel unhappy, Lin Jinghan doesn't care, she must know how to contact him, this feeling of not being able to find a direction if she wants to miss, she doesn't want to have it anymore.

It's just that what Lin Jinghan didn't know was that the next time she saw Xu Shengrui would be a few years later.

And now Xu Shengrui, who is so missed by Lin Jinghan, is immersed in the dark cave at this time, sitting motionless on a jet-black lotus platform, the black qi waves on his body are rolling, and a dark and powerful aura slowly rises from Xu Shengrui's body, like a sleeping beast that is gradually waking up, showing hideousness.

And outside the cave where Xu Shengrui was located, there were two guards, two old men, with crane hair and childish faces, wearing a white shirt, quite a bit of fairy wind and bones, but the evil aura in their eyes destroyed the temperament of the two.

"Fourth, that kid has been in for a few months, why hasn't he come out yet, and I don't know if he died inside?" One of the old men said to another who was taller than him.

"Wait a little longer, before we are sure, let's not do it lightly, this kid is very evil, he has even completed the task that no one has ever completed, his position as the young master has already been decided, the thing that the second brother wants to do is too big, the impact is far-reaching, and a carelessness may wipe out our pulses, so let's wait, we have been planning for so many years, and I don't care about more than a year and a half." The tall old man stared at the closed door, and felt carefully, trying to sense a little bit of breath from it, so as to judge whether the people inside were still alive, but the closed stone door completely isolated the breath inside, and it was impossible to explore it at all.

"Hey, okay, I'm just so unwilling, I've been preparing for so many years, and I'm ready to do it, but I didn't expect this kid to really complete the impossible task, and this cave that has never been opened was actually opened because of him, what if that kid really got the inheritance?" The short old man was a little annoyed and hammered the mountain stone on the side, and the hard mountain stone was actually broken into pieces by the old man, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Third child, you can't restrain your irritable temperament! It's really, they're all a lot older, and their tempers are still like this. The tall old man waved his sleeves and waved away the stones that fell to the ground, a little impatient, looking at the short old man who was glaring at him, and finally said: "You think the inheritance is so easy to get, according to ancient records, entering this cave is a life of nine deaths, I don't believe that kid will be so lucky, and it is also recorded in ancient books that before entering this cave, you must get an artifact, which artifact is so easy to get, if you don't get an artifact, if you don't get an artifact, there is only one result when you go in, that is, death!"

The short old man didn't know about these secrets, because his temper was too short-tempered to keep the secrets, and he might tell them if he wasn't careful.

"What? Artifact? What kind of artifact the hell is it?" The short old man jumped up and yelled, making the tall old man want to cover his mouth.

"Third child, do you dare to yell louder again? Do you want everyone to know?" The tall old man roared, making the short old man's face red, and he knew that he had made a mistake, so he covered his mouth and looked around, and after finding that there were no other people, he said with some sophistry: "How can people come here in this place where birds don't?" Okay, okay, I see, can't I be quiet? Tell me, tell me, what the hell is going on with this artifact?"

The tall old man looked at the short old man speechlessly, quite hated that iron could not be made of steel, but in the end he could only sigh, this brother has been together for decades, doesn't he know him?

Anyway, this secret doesn't make much sense now, and it doesn't hurt to sue him, otherwise it will be bad if he keeps talking about it.

"I also know this from the second brother, the ancient book of the eldest is incomplete, the second child tore off a page from there, and it recorded the artifact, which is said to be a powerful magic weapon used by our ancestors, but it seems to have been lost, and there is no news until now, and this artifact is an indispensable thing for inheritance, hum, so, that kid went in to accept the inheritance is simply a mortal ending, and there is no life for nine deaths." In the end, the expression on the face of the tall old man was very vicious.

"Hehe, that's good, that's good, then what are we doing here? Isn't that kid going to die?" The short old man laughed twice, very hesitant, but in the end, he came to such a sentence very brainlessly.

The tall old man really wanted to scold him: no brains! It's just that thinking that this is his brother, scolding him also lowered his IQ, forget it, I already knew that he had no brains, and I didn't bother to bother with him!

"Third brother, second brother, this is seeking stability, do you know about stability? If anything happens to the boss, we won't be able to do that, you know what it means?" The tall old man glared at the short old man, causing the short old man to shrink his neck.

"Alright, alright, just keep it again." The short old man muttered, a look of reluctance.

The conversation between the two, Xu Shengrui in the cave didn't know, he didn't know the time at this time, the whole person's consciousness was immersed in the mysterious changes and couldn't extricate himself, and he didn't know that outside, the people who were about to move had already begun to move.

All over the country is immersed in family fun, celebrating the perfect end of the year and welcoming a wonderful new year, but there is one exception.

Lin family in Beijing City.

The spacious old mansion of the Lin family was empty, compared with the unloading atmosphere next door, it looked particularly deserted, without conspicuous red, unchanged from usual, and even more bleak.

The Lin family has not had a Chinese New Year's Eve for more than ten years, because the Lin family's baby Lin Jinghan was kidnapped on this day, and when they went out to buy New Year's goods, since that year, the Lin family has not had a Chinese New Year's Eve, which is not a family reunion festival for the Lin family, but a sad anniversary.

On this day, the people of the Lin family will put off all activities, no matter how much face the invited person has, because they don't have any extra love to entertain those people on this day.

Of course, those people also know, so on Chinese New Year's Eve, a humerus family like the Lin family in Beijing was absent from all large-scale activities for more than ten years.

In the study of the Lin family's old house, the old man Lin held a black and white photo and rubbed it gently, the corners of this photo have become sleek, and it can be seen that it is often taken out, the photo has a pink carved filial son, wearing a fluffy princess dress, a pair of amber-like big eyes, sitting on the swing, the baby fat little face is a cheerful smile, which makes people want to hold her in their arms at first sight.

"Hanhan, grandpa's precious granddaughter, where are you?" Old man Lin rubbed the little face of the cute baby in the photo, the rough fingers were careful, as if he was afraid of hurting the baby's delicate skin, and the voice that was always full of energy seemed incomparably vicissitudes at this moment, and the old face carved by time carried incomparable pain, and the pain went deep into the bone marrow.

"Han Han, Han Han, Han Han ・・・・・・" one after another, with endless grief, Old Man Lin was afraid, he was afraid that he would not be able to wait for his precious granddaughter to come back, although his body was still very tough, but he didn't know how many years he could wait!

The cute little princess in her memory, running and calling herself grandpa, that sweet smile, that crisp voice, the little princess who asked him to hold the child who made the plane, the little princess who asked him to buy her candy to eat, the intimate baby who said "Grandpa, when I grow up, take you to see the sea", his baby Hanhan, a qiē, her voice and smile are all in his memory, even if as he gets older, some things begin to be forgotten, but the only thing he will not forget is the bits and pieces of his baby Hanhan.

In the dim light, the old man Lin wore reading glasses, sat on the chair, stroked the photo, called one by one, the suppressed voice, hoarse, dark, sad, the figure of the old man fell on the heavy floor, looking thin and desolate.

There is a swing in the courtyard of the Lin family's old house, the seat of the swing is wiped clean, and the rope is wrapped with vines, which looks vibrant.

At this time, Zheng Huilan was sitting on the swing, swaying gently, grabbing the ropes on both sides with both hands, her head gently resting on her hands, her face was silent, and her expression seemed to be in a daze.

Behind her, Lin Chengye was wearing casual clothes, but he was still tall and handsome, but now his handsome face was full of sadness, and his hand was gently holding the swing, as if he was protecting Zheng Huilan sitting on the swing, but only he knew that his actions at this time were just actions in memory, and in his memory, there was a silver bell-like voice calling happily, "Dad, hurry up, Dad, go higher, fly higher, Dad, Hanhan wants to fly to the sky!" ”

"Chengye, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, if I hadn't taken Han'er and Hui'er out at the beginning, I wouldn't have encountered such a thing, our baby will grow up happily around us, and really want to live like a princess, instead of ・・・・・・" Zheng Huilan said faintly, her tone was light, and there was still no expression on her face, numb.

"Lan'er, it's none of your business, if I hadn't suddenly left that day, and I wouldn't have let you go outside alone with two children, I can only be blamed for this." Lin Chengye's mellow voice sounded low, blaming himself for guilt and sadness.

There was another silence, and every year the conversation was like this, and for more than ten years, to this day, it had to be repeated.

"That day, Han'er was wearing a pink winter coat, she looked like an elf, I led her down the street, Han'er smiled sweetly at everyone, so that everyone loved her, I still remember, she pointed to a doll, said that the doll was very beautiful, she wanted it, I told her to buy it for her when I came back, but I didn't wait for her to come back."

"You say, how can they be so ruthless, Han'er is so well-behaved and cute, how can they bear ・・・・・・" Saying this, Zheng Huilan's numb expression was finally broken, and she roared a little hysterically, as long as she thought that their baby might be hurt by those vicious gangsters, her heart was dripping blood.

"Lan'er, they have been punished, they are all dead." Lin Chengye stroked Zheng Huilan's fragrant shoulders and comforted softly, this has become his wife's nightmare, usually it doesn't look like Zheng Huilan is similar to usual, but as long as it is Chinese New Year's Eve, Zheng Huilan will become like this, immersed in the scene all day, tormenting herself over and over again.

"Yes, they're dead, they're dead, but they're dying so happily that they should be better off dead." On Zheng Huilan's beautiful face, the person who has always been dignified and virtuous has become extremely hideous at this time, and the vicious eyes are like two people who usually speak softly.

"Lan'er, our baby must still be in the world, let's not think about those who died, what we need to think about now is, when our baby comes back, what should we prepare for the baby?" Lin Chengye stood behind Zheng Huilan, even if he didn't see it, he could think of his wife's expression at this time, he was equally sad and resentful in his heart, but he was a man, he was the pillar of the Lin family's generation, and he couldn't immerse himself in the grief of the past.

"Yes, our baby must still be in the world, she must be very beautiful, I want to prepare beautiful clothes for her, as well as the baby's favorite dolls, the baby likes to eat the pastries I made the most, mung bean cake, plum blossom cake, osmanthus cake, ・・・・・・" Zheng Huilan had a demure expression on her face, and counted softly, what to prepare for her baby, food, clothing, housing and transportation, the same as not.

Lin Chengye stood behind her, listening carefully to her plan, there was a forbearant smile on his handsome face, that smile, how sad it was, this general, known as the iron-blooded general, seemed so fragile at this time.

Today seems to others to be a day of celebration, but in the Lin family, only the stagnant grief is slowly flowing-

Off topic -

Hehe, dear, the male protagonist came out for a walk, dad and grandpa came out, dear, glutinous rice wood has broken its promise!

Due to the change of the update system, the glutinous rice was originally ready for 10,000 more, but because of the time relationship, it can only be updated 8,000, I'm sorry!
