CHAPTER XV
Time is the most important thing for people, but it is also often the most overlooked. Unknowingly, Ah Fei has been living in Li Yuan for six years, and he didn't even dare to think about it before the comfortable days in the past few years, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas every day, but he didn't have to be busy as before in order to eat a full stomach. The people here are very nice to him, and he has long regarded this as his home. It's a pity that my mother's illness is too severe, and even if my sister has been nourishing with expensive medicinal herbs all these years, she has only survived for two years. Even so, he was still grateful to his sister, because he knew that if his sister hadn't found them, his mother would not have lived two more years, and she would not have been so peaceful when she left.
The sister in his mouth is Lin Yiyi, before Bai Feifei died, he forced Lin Yiyi to admit Ah Fei as a younger brother, in fact, it is not persecution, after all, Lin Yiyi has always liked Ah Fei very much and has always treated him as a younger brother, but now it is just one more name, if she can reassure Bai Feifei, she will be happy to do so.
Over the years, Ah Fei has been studying "The Treasure of Mercy Flowers" and the speed can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, for example, when Ah Fei was just practicing, Lin Yiyi and he could still rely on the advantage of internal strength to slightly out, and gradually a lazy person was left far behind, so that later Ah Fei was no longer willing to play with Lin Yiyi, but entangled Sun Er, after all, no one was interested in a competition without suspense.
may be because of her different personalities, Lin Yiyi prefers things like light skills and disguise, which are not time-consuming and laborious to learn, and more interesting, and of course, medicine, poison and other life-saving things, she naturally will not let go. As for Ah Fei, perhaps it was fate, Ah Fei still chose to use a sword among the many weapons. It's just that Ah Fei's swordsmanship, which has grown up under the guidance of everyone, is even more outstanding, not to mention that under Lin Yiyi's compulsion, Ah Fei also has a lot of knowledge in "The Treasure of Mercy", although he is not proficient in everything, but he can be regarded as an all-rounder in today's rivers and lakes.
The current situation A Fei's reputation in the rivers and lakes is not small, because he was thrown out of the house by Lin Yiyi in the name of exercise at a young age, so even if Ah Fei is still very young, he can be regarded as an old man. Under Lin Yiyi's various teachings, Ah Fei is still an upright and good young man, which is really gratifying! It's just that under someone's subtle influence, Ah Fei is still a little black, especially Lin Yiyi often tells Ah Fei the trick of framing each other between women in the inner house as a story, but he didn't tell Ah Fei like Zhang Wuji and his mother, 'The more beautiful a woman is, the more she will deceive people!' βγ After all these years of devastation, although Ah Fei did not avoid women like snakes and scorpions, he had an extra eye when facing women. Lin Yiyi is 120,000 satisfied with this result, and she has done so much in the hope that Ah Fei will not be deceived too badly when he sees Lin Xian'er in the future.
In fact, Lin Yiyi is also concerned about chaos, in the original book, Ah Fei likes Lin Xian'er mostly because he thinks Lin Xian'er is like his mother who died early, he is wholeheartedly good to Lin Xian'er, and there is no debt to his mother. Now that Bai Feifei has passed away, he is very peaceful, Ah Fei's current obsession is not deep, and he himself is a little slow to deal with feelings, even if he sees Lin Xian'er, how can he be confused.
What's more, Ah Fei became famous as a young man, a talent, and likes to act chivalrous and righteous when he walks in the rivers and lakes, he is really a good candidate for a son-in-law in most people's hearts, since the day he became an adult, the matchmaker almost broke the threshold of Li Yuan, so Ah Fei prefers to wander outside, and there is almost no time to go home every year. So every time Ah Fei comes back, he will be warmly welcomed by everyone, of course, there are exceptions, for example, now...
Ah Fei sat in the living room and looked helplessly at the chattering old man opposite, he had already reviewed all the knowledge he had learned in his life, and an hour or two had passed, but the man had no intention of keeping his mouth shut. Picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed over the clear tea in his hand that he didn't know how many cups it was.
"Uncle butler, aren't you tired?" Ah Fei didn't mean to dislike it, he was really curious, after all, people said more in two hours than he said in two years.
The sound in the room stopped abruptly, and it was obvious that Ah Fei's unintentional words had hurt the fragile little liver of our old butler. Glancing at Ah Fei sadly, the housekeeper complained: "I'm really miserable!" There is such a group of unconscious masters on the stall, and they all want to run out, and they can't remember that they still have a home. The young master has been away from home for ten years, and there has been news from time to time in the past few years, but there has been no news in the past few years, and I don't know whether it is life or death. "In the end, it is a child who has grown up watching himself, even if he doesn't say it, how can he not worry in his heart. In the past few years, Li Xunhuan seems to have disappeared, and there is not a word coming, although the housekeeper has also sent people out to look for it in private, but there is no news. "And Miss, other women are trying their best to beautify themselves, she is good, she is obviously a natural beauty, she has to make herself a person not a person, a ghost or a ghost. It's okay to scare your family on weekdays, but you always like to run out when you have nothing to do, so that the whole city knows that Miss Li has been disfigured. Look at how long the matchmakers who came once every three or five days haven't come to the door before, even if the young lady doesn't want to get married, there is no need to ruin her reputation so much! β
Although Ah Fei couldn't understand his sister's strange thoughts, he was very glad about his sister's decision at this time, who was more well-informed outside. "Uncle housekeeper, don't you know, now there are rumors outside that plum blossom thieves have reappeared, and many daughters have been killed. My sister is recognized as the number one beauty in the rivers and lakes, if it weren't for the news of her disfigurement that has been widely publicized in recent years, Li Yuan today is afraid that she would not be so peaceful. β
"And such a thing? Then are you afraid that something will happen to Miss when you come back this time? "Although I don't know about the plum blossom thief, but I can let Ah Fei rush back from thousands of miles away, it seems that this plum blossom thief's ability should not be weak, and he is now a little grateful for Miss's nonsense.
"Well, my sister wrote to me that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and she asked Grandpa Sun to go back to her hometown for the New Year. I thought that if the plum blossom stole it, I would not be able to compete with my sister alone, so I hurried back. β
"Miss Yi's appearance when she is out now shouldn't be able to attract plum blossom thieves!" Thinking of the ghost appearance of his young lady every time he goes out, the corners of the housekeeper's mouth twitched slightly, if this look can attract plum blossom thieves, then this thief is inevitably too hungry to eat!
"That being said, I'm still not reassured. After all, most of the people in this garden knew that it was just my sister's disguise. Although I don't want to suspect anyone casually, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and if someone betrays the Lord, it will be troublesome! β
"What Young Master Fei said is reasonable, then Miss will trouble you!" The steward of the royal man naturally understands more than Ah Fei, anyone can betray in the face of sufficient interests, even if he is a brother who works together for the New Year, he can't guarantee that the person is innocent.
After listening to the housekeeper's words, Ah Fei nodded slightly, looked around, and was sure that his sister was not in Li Yuanzhong. You must know that although Lin Yiyi is most afraid of the housekeeper's broken thoughts, every time Ah Fei comes back, she will appear as soon as possible, even if she wants to be trained with Ah Fei, she can't stop her determination to see her younger brother. But today, the housekeeper has been collecting troops for a long time, and Lin Yiyi has not appeared, so it seems that he must have slipped out to play again.
"Uncle housekeeper, where is my sister?"
"Hmph, where else can I go! I took Ziyu to the Drunken Immortal Building to listen to the book again! Ziyu, this girl is also used to being big or small by Miss all day long, and Miss sneaks out of the door and she doesn't know where to stop it! β
Seeing that the housekeeper was about to start bombing tiredly, Ah Fei picked up the sword on the table and rushed out with a brisk step, leaving only the housekeeper behind him and jumping angrily.
The New Year is approaching, and today's streets are more lively than usual, with people selling, buying, and people coming and going, and everyone has a happy smile on their faces. Seeing this scene, Ah Fei smiled heartily, he liked this peaceful atmosphere very much, different from the nervousness of being on guard at any time when walking the rivers and lakes, and now such a calm environment made him feel comfortable from beginning to end. Gradually, the sky began to fall with crystal white snowflakes, and at first people were excited on their faces, after all, every college in the winter means a good harvest for the coming year. Later, the snow became heavier and harder, almost obscuring the view, and the people began to disperse slowly.
Ah Fei still walked slowly like a walk, not caring if there was anyone around him. He didn't hold an umbrella or dodge, as if the melted snow that had crept into his collar didn't exist. In fact, he was lonely until he met his sister, and at that time he was lying quietly on the ground after the heavy snowfall, just to be able to catch a prey, and the snow seemed to be so heavy at that time. Ah Fei, who was trapped in his memories, exuded an aura of loneliness, and this aura happened to attract another lonely person.
A carriage crossed Ah Fei and stopped in front, and then a pair of slender and powerful hands pushed open the door, behind the door was a man with gray temples, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes told the man's vicissitudes and misfortunes. Even so, the man had a pair of miraculous eyes, which were gentle eyes, as deep as the water of a lake but flexible. It's just that this qiΔ has nothing to do with Ah Fei, he neither stopped nor spoke, just walked forward step by step firmly, walking so upright.
"Get in the car, I'll give you a ride!" Such a sentence is really warm in such a snowy day, most people will not refuse this mention, obviously the boy is not among them, he still walks forward without stopping at all.
"You're deaf"
Ah Fei still didn't say anything but looked up and down at the people in the car, the man smiled and said, "It turns out that you are not deaf, then come up and drink in a bar, a drink will not be harmful to anyone!" β
Ah Fei touched the shriveled money bag, if he hadn't been in a hurry to escape from the housekeeper's chatter, he wouldn't have gone out without money, "I can't afford to drink", but there was a faint grievance in his flat tone, I'm afraid he didn't even notice it.
It's just that obviously the people in the car heard it, and saw that the smile in the corner of his eyes was more obvious, and he said softly like looking at a child who was making trouble: "I invite you to drink, I don't need you to spend money to buy it." β
Ah Fei turned his head when he heard this and said, "I don't want something that is not mine!" β
"And where are you going? Shall I give you a ride and then invite me to drink when you have the money? The person in the car was silent for a moment, and continued to laugh and say that he really liked the stubborn teenager in front of him.
Take the carriage = go to the drunken fairy building early = find my sister = have the money to invite him to drink! Thinking of this, Ah Fei nodded, and climbed into the carriage under the man's smiling eyes. The performance of the carriage is really good, but walking on such snow is not bumpy at all.
"You like to laugh?" Ah Fei asked curiously, it seemed that this person had been smiling since they met.
"Huh?" The man obviously didn't expect Ah Fei to ask such a question, and no one seemed to have asked him, even though he had always been a gentle person in the eyes of everyone, it seemed that he was always in a particularly good mood in front of this young man.
"My name is Li Xunhuan, what's your name?"
"You are Li Xunhuan? Xiao Li Feidao, Li Xunhuan? Ah Fei looked at the person in front of him again, this is the fiancΓ© who will grit her teeth every time my sister mentions it, and the young master who ran away from home that Uncle Housekeeper missed?
"Well, what's the problem? Why did the little brother look at him like this...... Well, weird! Li Xunhuan asked in some surprise.
"Nothing! My name is Ah Fei! Avoiding Li Xunhuan's question, Ah Fei briefly introduced himself.
"Flying Swordsman, Ah Fei?"
"En," Ah Fei nodded.
"Then Ah Fei, where are you going?"
"Go to the Drunken Immortal Building, I'm going to find my sister! When I find my sister, I'll have the money to invite you to drink. "As long as you can drink it then, he is very much looking forward to seeing his sister and Xiao Li Feidao. I have to say that after being nurtured by Lin Yiyi for many years, Ah Fei also has a sullen heart under his calm appearance.
Along the way, Ah Fei has been chatting with Li Xunhuan all over the world, and gradually Ah Fei has to admire Li Xunhuan's erudition. People say that Xiao Li Feidao is a genius who can be a man of literature and peace and a martial arts to set the country, and he really deserves his reputation when he sees it today. Faintly, Ah Fei has regarded Li Xunhuan as a confidant, and it is really a great fortune to be a brother with such a person.
Just when the two were chatting proudly, the carriage had quietly stopped at the door of the Drunken Immortal Tower. Ah Fei opened the car door and jumped out of the car, thought for a moment and turned his head to Li Xunhuan, who was about to get out of the car, and said, "Big brother, if you don't forget it today, I'll invite you to drink another day!" "Someone really can't bear to let the eldest brother he just recognized be too miserable by his sister.
"No, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I think it's good today! What's more, I also want to see what kind of strange woman Ah Fei's sister is! β
Ah Fei glanced at Li Xunhuan sympathetically, and looked at Li Xunhuan inexplicably. The two walked in the door one after the other, but found that today's Drunken Immortal Building was a little strange. As the most famous restaurant in Taiyuan, Zuixian Lou has always been overcrowded, and it is not that there are not many people today to say that it is weird. It's just that the hall that was usually very lively was surprisingly quiet today, and the people present were either whispering to three or five people, or secretly looking at the woman sitting by the window.
Li Xunhuan followed everyone's line of sight and found that there was a woman in a long white dress sitting on the seat with the window facing away from the door, her long black hair draped behind her like a waterfall, and her slender waist was full of hands. Of course, Li Xunhuan is no exception, but it seems that the reaction of everyone present is not so simple.
Just when Li Xunhuan was thinking to himself, Ah Fei had already walked towards the woman, and Li Xunhuan followed behind Ah Fei when he saw it. When he walked in front of the woman, Li Xunhuan understood what everyone's reaction was, this woman was really a peerless beauty, but it was a pity that there was a long scar on the woman's fair face on the right side, and the hideous scar covered the woman's entire right face, and the upper end was directly submerged into the sideburns, ruining this beautiful appearance.
If it were someone else, Li Xunhuan would feel sorry for this person at most, but now he feels that his heart hurts as if he was rubbed with his hands, just because the person in front of him is his cousin who he has missed for ten years, Lin Shiyin.
Li Xunhuan trembled and tried to brush the scar on the woman's face, but in the end, he hung down weakly, and could only ask in a dry voice: "Shiyin, what's going on?" How did your face become like this? β
Moved the refreshments before the full time to Ah Fei, who had become a good baby since he saw Lin Yiyi, Lin Yiyi only then raised his head to look at the person in front of him who had disappeared for ten years. I saw that there were many fine lines in the corners of his eyes, compared with the high-spirited Tanhualang ten years ago, Li Xunhuan's eyes now have a little more vicissitudes and a little loneliness.
"Cousin, long time no see!"
"Shiyin, how are you doing all these years?" Even though he knew the answer, Li Xunhuan still asked unconsciously.
"Isn't it obvious!" Lin Yiyi laughed self-deprecatingly, "At least it's much cleaner now!" β
"Shiyin, how did you get hurt? I entrusted my eldest brother to take care of you......" Li Xunhuan was forcefully interrupted by Lin Yiyi before he finished speaking.
"Take care of me? Thanks to his care, I wouldn't have become like this! If he hadn't planned to force me, why would I have disfigured myself to protect myself. Lin Yiyi said resentfully, when she first picked up Ah Fei and them back to Li Yuan, Long Xiaoyun did come here and did plan to use force against Lin Yiyi, but unfortunately Lin Yiyi was not Lin Shiyin. The poison technique for such a long time was not learned in vain, and a dose of the drug was sprinkled, and Long Xiaoyun, who fell to the ground, was thrown out by Ah Fei and Sun Er together. As for throwing it out, before Sun Er said that he would teach Ah Fei to recognize the acupoints or something, it didn't matter to her. Although he was not taken advantage of by Long Xiaoyun, since the matter had happened, Lin Yiyi splashed Long Xiaoyun black water without mercy.
"Big brother won't do that! Shiyin, is there some misunderstanding! Li Xunhuan's face turned pale and he defended weakly.
"Misunderstanding? Misunderstood fart! Li Xunhuan, I tell you, if you say a good word for Long Xiaoyun in front of me, you will never appear in front of me! Lin Yiyi slapped the table and said loudly: "Ah Fei, Ziyu, let's go!" After saying that, he left without looking back.
Ah Fei looked at Li Xunhuan, who was sitting on the side in a daze, worriedly, and whispered to him: "The injury on my sister's face is disfigured!" After finishing speaking, he hurriedly chased after Lin Yiyi.
Li Xunhuan sat alone at the table and suddenly laughed, and the more he laughed, the louder he became, even if he knew that the injury was fake, he knew that Shiyin would never joke about this kind of thing. Big brother, did you really do this? Could it be that I, Li Xunhuan, really don't know people clearly, and actually hurt my relatives, Li Xunhuan has never been so cold as at this moment.
