Chapter 6: Hometown Chang'an

Lin Maolin walked on the streets of Chang'an, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar hometown, and slowly fell into contemplation.

Ten years ago, the Central Plains turmoil in Chang'an was not very peaceful, and open and secret strife and intrigue became the biggest hidden danger in the city.

My parents still have childhood playmates, are you okay now, the land of your hometown can't contain your body but leaves your soul, may you be peaceful and happy in the land of your hometown, I don't know if you will go to heaven and hell after death, as Catholicism says, and I don't know if you are comfortable in heaven? Are you satisfied with the food in Heaven, can you sleep comfortably in the rooms of Heaven, and are you satisfied with everything in Heaven?

Ten years ago, I was powerless to resist all this, and ten years later, I will not let the tragedy happen again, and I will always love you to the people I want to protect and the people who protect me. Now I have achieved a little under the careful care of the teacher, this land and the people here, you will not forget me, or have never heard of it, but what does it matter, I am free to come, free to go, thousands of things in the world, nothing more, that's all, that's all.

Ten years ago on the streets of Chang'an, the emperor was assassinated, the hundred officials were frightened, Taiwei defeated the assassin with the power of one person in the court, and the weapon held by the assassin was the unique dragon thorn of the Li family, according to legend, the patriarch of the Li family got a small piece of thousand-year-old Xuantie, which was extremely heavy and very hard, but it was this ancestor of the Li family who was unable to refine the Xuantie when he got the previous Xuantie, and the Xuantie had been left at home and no one cared about it, until his father's generation, Lin Maolin's father became the patriarch of the family and got the emperor's seal, in this Chang'an mansion, he can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face.

The Lin family rose from the ground and became a legend that everyone in Chang'an City liked, and Lin Maolin's master found the Lin family, hoping to change the thousand-year-old Xuantie, and promised to use the previous Xuantie to help the Lin family practice a Xuantie sword, also known as the Dragon Thorn.

Just when the Lin family was in full swing, but unexpectedly, the eldest son of the Lin family took this dragon-seeking thorn to assassinate the emperor, causing the emperor to order the raid, and the Lin family was so prosperous for less than half a year, so it was calculated by the traitor, and almost ended up in a situation full of beheadings, if it wasn't for Uncle Zhou Huang and his current master to intercede, presumably the Lin family would have been a foregone conclusion, but just when there was a slight relaxation, the Lin family suddenly ushered in the next catastrophe......

"I don't know if anyone still remembers this half a year? Does anyone still mention the glorious days of my Lin family? ”

Lin Maolin thought so.

I still heard the things from the teacher's mouth, and the master said, "The Lin family was killed by traitors, you go back to find out what happened back then, and you are the only one who can do it!" ”

When I asked the master countless times, but the master still refused to reveal a thing or two, no matter how I tried to induce, eat and drink, and so on, I used all the means, but in the past ten years, there has been one.

It's just that now Lin Maolin vaguely remembers that the entire Lin family was killed, and only he survived, and was taken by the teacher to a paradise to teach me to read and write, self-cultivation and martial arts, and now I am deeply loved by the teacher.

"Now that I'm back, I must find out the truth, give justice to my Lin family, and let the murderer pay for the lives of 108 people in my Lin family."

Lin Maolin is too familiar with this place, walking the streets of Chang'an.

Suddenly, a Manli figure sprang by

"Get out of the way."

I saw that the woman pushed Lin Maolin to the side, how did Lin Maolin know that there would be this? Suddenly, he fell to the side, and where he fell there was a little girl with candy in her mouth, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Lin Maolin jumped up sideways, rolled up and down for two and a half weeks, and successfully landed.

came to the little girl and said, "Child, are you okay, where are your parents?" ”

Lin Maolin touched the little girl's forehead.

"Here, daughter, are you alright?"

At this time, a woman ran out, and the woman ran over and hugged her daughter, and said affectionately.

Lin Maolin looked at the mother and daughter, the sadness on his face instantly turned into joy, looking at the happy life of others, he no longer has too many waves, after all, it is normal for the world to be cold and warm, no matter how cold it is, there is also warmth to accompany it, life is like this, and only after success do you know that the original bland happiness is the most worth cherishing.

"Don't run, grab the woman in front of me for me."

A group of people who looked like social gangsters in the back had sticks in their hands, it seemed that they had a grudge against this woman, but none of the onlookers dared to step forward to stop them, only to see them watching the excitement, and a few wanted to go up, but their steps did not allow them to do so, after all, none of them could afford to provoke them.

Lin Maolin waited for them to rush to the side, one stretched out his foot, and followed the little brother who was chasing behind the female captain was bound by Lin Maolin like this and fell directly to the ground.

The little brother crawled and stood up and said angrily: "Who did it, I, you dare to move, you are caught, you have to pick your fucking skin." ”

Lin Maolin didn't want to entangle with this little brother, so he flew straight to catch up with the group of people in front, and at this time, the girl was also surrounded in the corner.

"What do you want to do? I shouted. Someone, help. ”

"You dare to mix into the Taiwei Mansion banquet to eat and drink, the Taiwei Mansion is also you can enter if you want to, see if we don't arrest you back, you must also know how powerful the Taiwei is, the courage is really not small, don't look at it is still a girl, there is an explanation when you go back with us, and the Taiwei should not be too embarrassed for you."

The woman refused and said, "No, you just want to pay the errand early, your words are useless, I might as well be happy to go back with you." ”

As she spoke, the woman had already taken out a dagger and hung it around her neck.

Lin Maolin saw that the situation was not optimistic, so he stood up and said: "Let this woman go today, what kind of hero are so many of you bullying a little woman?" ”

said that Lin Maolin was directly in front of the woman, heroic and heroic, showing his true character as a hero.

A soldier in front of him held a knife and said impatiently: "What are you, you dare to block the people of Taiwei Mansion, it seems that you don't want to live." ”

It was the leader of them who spoke, a real soldier.

"Brothers, give it to me."

I saw the group of rural villagers hired by the Taiwei Mansion wielding the swords in their hands, looking invincible.

"It seems that it is true, the wilderness is reckless, not only do you not have the slightest mercy, but you are also so unsightly, it seems that I am going to let you know what respect is."

After Lin Maolin finished speaking, one flew forward, and dozens of people fell to the ground in the clouds and rain, wailing in their mouths, and the sound of pain was endless.

"You, you, you dare to beat the people of the Taiwei Mansion, it seems that you can't get out of the imperial city today."

Just as the soldier was talking, Lin Maolin slapped him over, only to see that the man's face was red.

The soldier covered his face with one hand and said in a choked voice: "You are strong, brothers, let's withdraw." ”

After speaking, everyone ran away without a trace.

Lin Maolin looked at the woman behind him, only to see the woman hiding on a wall in the distance, sticking her head out and leaning over, "Thank you." ”。

When Lin Maolin walked over, the woman fled in the opposite direction of Lin Maolin.

"Girl, stay here, this is a hundred taels of silver, you take it as a plate, and Hugh will do this worrying thing again, and you can live a more peaceful and comfortable life."

After the young woman took the silver, she hurriedly put it back into Lin Maolin's hand, folded her hands, and said: "Thank you Gongzi for saving your life, I can't repay it, how dare I ask for Gongzi's silver taels again, it doesn't seem that I am a villain, I can't do such things, and you don't force me." ”

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Lin Maolin saw that the young woman was full of anger, and her face was a little sad, so she followed.

The woman walked to the door of an ancient temple, opened the door and walked in.

Lin Maolin saw through the gap in the door that the young woman was taking care of a little boy, and the little boy had a shocking scar on his face.

"Who's at the door"

The young woman said, pointing out the room.

Lin Maolin pushed open the door and walked straight in.

"I haven't asked the girl's name yet, but now I came here to ask the girl's name."

Lin Maolin said jokingly, in order to alleviate this embarrassing scene.

After receiving his rescue, the woman also had a good impression of Lin Maolin, so when she saw the visitor, the vigilance on the young woman's face instantly relaxed.

"My name is Zhao Wei, what's your name, thank you just now."

"My name is Lin Maolin, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

When I saw Lin Maolin walking over, Zhao Wei looked at Lin Maolin blankly.

"Little brother, what's wrong with your face, can you show my brother?"

Lin Maolin stroked the little boy's head, the little boy was a little scared at first, and then regained his composure.

"Brother, I'm fine, it's all because my sister has been taking care of me, don't beat my sister, okay."

Lin Maolin glanced at the young woman.

Then he picked up the little boy and said, "Brother will take you to see the sun outside and eat the food on Chang'an Street." ”

Just as Lin Maolin was talking, Zhao Wei looked at her, as if threatening and intimidating.

"You give me a little care, don't beat my brother's idea."

While the three of them were chatting, a group of social thugs who kicked in the door appeared outside the door.

"I heard that a pair of sisters and brothers are here, and they occupy our temple and don't pay protection fees, it seems that I have to clean you up myself."

The person who spoke was obviously the boss of the group.

Looking at this posture and looking at the tattoos on their arms, Lin Maolin concluded that this was a group of ruffians and hooligans, and the tattoos were at most to scare passers-by.

Lin Maolin saw that the people who came were all menacing, and he stood directly in front of the two sisters and brothers.

"You want money, I have it, it's in this burden, if you have the guts, just come and get it."

As he spoke, Lin Maolin put a burden at his feet.

The eldest brother pulled a younger brother next to him and said, "You go up." ”

A little brother was pushed more than three steps at once, and came to Lin Maolin's side tremblingly, only to see Lin Maolin kick his leg, and the man flew out.

I saw Lin Maolin get up one by one, and before the group of ruffians could react, Lin Maolin had already arrived beside them, one person and one slap, and in an instant everyone who was beaten turned on their backs, and tears couldn't help but flow down their red faces.

"Big brother spare my life, let's leave now, and never bother you."

If it was a knife just now, then now they have gone down to the Yellow Spring, how dare they make a mistake.

"Roll"

As soon as Lin Maolin's words fell, everyone fled in a hurry like frightened deer.

"Are you alright, little brother?"

After speaking, Lin Maolin walked out of the broken temple with his little brother in his arms, and Zhao Wei followed out.

"When did you come here? What has brought you to such a point? ”

Lin Maolin asked.

Zhao Wei looked at Lin Maolin and said timidly: "My father and mother died many years ago, and my younger brother was picked up by me, when I came to this broken temple, a little boy and some shabby clothes were in this broken temple, probably because there were people living here, so no one came to bother us again, I didn't know who it was before, but I saw that this little boy was pitiful and took him in, and the scars on his face also knew how they were formed, which was really heartbreaking." ”

"There's a noodle shop in front, let's go there for a meal and go into town."

Lin Maolin looked at the hungry two, and laughed inwardly, Zhao Wei came over with a look, and Lin Maolin returned to his serious demeanor.

"My sister is smart and smart, you must listen to your sister in the future, and you must not do anything to make your sister angry."

Lin Maolin said to his younger brother, but it was Zhao Wei who looked at him.

"Mmmm, I will definitely take care of my sister when I grow up, so that my sister will not be bullied by that bad person."

"Hmph"

Zhao Wei said and went straight to the table, shopkeeper, bring me ten bowls of noodles, this big brother please.

The shopkeeper didn't recognize him, and just two days ago, he stole a chicken and a little rice from the store, causing himself to be scolded by the boss and deducted five coins of silver.

"You, you, you, you dare to come, see if I don't catch you, you thief!"

Lin Maolin said: "Shopkeeper, this is two taels of silver, you take it, you don't need to look for it, the meal money is calculated separately, and good wine and meat are served." ”

The shopkeeper didn't dare to make a mistake when he looked at the person in front of him, after all, he couldn't offend the guests by doing his own business, not to mention that sometimes there were some great big people.

"Okay"

The shopkeeper hurriedly retreated after saying this.

Zhao Wei said with a sideways face: "It's not that I want to eat you, it's that you want to slap my brother, so this meal is considered to be your invitation to us." ”

Lin Maolin said: "Okay, okay, little brother, you are older, you sit in front." ”

Zhao Wei also smiled slightly.

After a while, the shopkeeper and an errand boy brought the food up.

The errand guy recognized Zhao Wei at a glance, he was fierce, and when he was about to go up, he was stopped by the shopkeeper next to him, and the two went down after taking a look.

The shopkeeper said, "Guest officer, please use it slowly." ”

Lin Maolin watched the sister and brother gobble up the food, and felt more pity in his heart.

"The shopkeeper will have ten more bowls and more meat."

Lin Maolin knows that they are not easy, my sister is a strong person, I don't want my brother to endure hardships, and I don't want to be that maid or the like like that, she is tired and tired of being popular, and now she still has the ambition to hide her heart and be worthy of being said.

After the three of them had a full meal and tea, they went back to the Chang'an Yongxing Inn.

"Shopkeeper, open me a house near room 201."

The shopkeeper looked at the room book and said, "Sorry sir, our room 202 is already occupied, and now only 203 is still empty, do you need it?" ”。

Lin Maolin looked at the two of them and said: "Then 203, clean it up for me, if their sister and brother have any needs, just call the account book on my head, if there is any neglect, I will ask you for the guilt." ”

After saying that, the three of them took the key handed by the shopkeeper and went upstairs.
