One night in the depths of winter, the temperature in Dading Mansion was extremely low, the sky was covered with goose feather snow, the cold wind was howling, and the streets and rooftops were full of thick snow. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info quietly, everyone closed the doors and windows, and fell asleep.

It was such a cold day.

Suddenly, the sound of a hurried horse's drive broke the silence of the night, accompanied by the hoofs of the galloping horses. The horse's hooves flew slowly in the white snow like a butterfly, the cold wind blew recklessly, the snow had blurred the vision, and the galloping horses and the black shadow disappeared into the vast night and snow. The night was quiet again, and I listened carefully - the distant sound of horses' hooves mingled with the cold wind, adding a touch of desolation to the disciples.

The night was so dark that there was not a single light in the imperial city.

The man in black drove the horse to the manor and galloped away, "Huh-" He grabbed the horse rope and stopped, and cautiously jumped off the horse's back, there is a horizontal plaque on the top of the gate of the manor, and the horizontal plaque is impressively inlaid with the four big characters of "Lufu Manor", and the font is strong and strong, like walking the dragon and flying the phoenix. The man in black walked quickly to the door of the mansion, as if he was a little hesitant, but his face was obviously so nervous and helpless, there was no extra time for him to think about it, sighed slightly, and knocked on the door.

After a while, with a "squeak~", the door was opened, and a guard poked out from the inside, he seemed to recognize the man in black, a little surprised, and hurriedly closed the door and left, from the door can clearly hear the distant and hurried footsteps.

The face of the man in black was even more anxious, the cold sky made him shiver, his arms bulged, as if there was something, a gust of cold wind passed, and he subconsciously tightened the placket of his chest.

After a long time, the door was opened, and with it came the king steward of the Lu Mansion, a maidservant, a housekeeper, who held a paper lamp in his hand, and of course the master of the Lu Mansion - Lu Yaozong.

Lu Yaozong and the man in black glanced at each other, but they were surprised, and after a moment of silence, they asked suspiciously, "You, why are you here?" ”

The man in black turned his head away, his eyes suddenly reddened, he took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile: "Bad fate... It's all bad fate! ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Yaozong didn't understand the meaning of his words at all, "What happened?" ”

The man in black looked so helpless in pain, tears began to roll in his eyes, he turned to look at him, and pleaded: "Brother Lu, I... I really don't know how to talk to you, but if I don't have an urgent matter, I really don't want to bother late at night, but it happened suddenly, and I hope that Brother Lu will promise me one thing no matter what. ”

Lu Yaozong looked at him, a little surprised, and also a little hesitant.

The wind was very strong, it was biting, blowing snowflakes flying all over the sky, and it was silent... The silence continues... It seems that even the air has frozen at this moment. The snowflakes dancing in the wind showed no sign of abating, but in half an hour, the clothes of the five of them were almost dyed white.

"Okay, I promise you!" Lu Yaozong looked at him and nodded lightly.

The tense atmosphere at that moment seemed to melt in an instant. The man in black finally smiled, and the heart that was half hanging in the air finally fell to the ground. Looking at Lu Yaozong, his eyes showed incomparable gratitude, he was silent for a moment, unbuttoned the placket on his chest, and carefully took out the child...

Child?!

It's a child!! Everyone seemed to understand what the man in black was referring to, but it was still a little sudden, and the people present were still surprised. Lu Yaozong looked at the child, his mind was blank, and after staring for a moment, he came back to his senses, his gaze returned to the man in black, and asked in surprise: "This... Who is this kid? His voice suddenly became a little shaky.

The man in black looked down at the child in his arms and shook his head, "Brother Lu, this matter is difficult to explain, I will definitely find an opportunity to tell you the truth in the future." With that, he stepped forward and handed the child in his arms in front of Lu Yaozong, don't look over his head and don't want to look at him again, tears also couldn't help it, and slowly slipped out of the corners of his eyes.

Lu Yaozong took the child and hugged it to his chest, looked down at the little man in his arms, and suddenly fell in love. The child's delicate and handsome face was slightly red, his upturned nose, and his perfect mouth all revealed his arrogant temperament, and a smile on the corner of his lips seemed to add a touch of warmth to this extremely cold temperature.

The child's eyes were closed lightly, his breathing was steady, and he was obviously asleep, but Lu Yaozong saw that there was a sense of disgrace between his eyebrows, and he would definitely be a pillar in the future.

After the man in black relieved for a while, he took out a small piece of paper that had been folded from his arms, looked at Lu Yaozong again, and continued: "Brother Lu, I wrote the child's birthday, name, parents, and clan all on it. After saying that he was a little late, he also handed it into his hands.

Lu Yaozong couldn't spare his hands to look at the pieces of paper because he was holding the child, so he could only hold it tightly in his hand.

"Oh, yes." The man in black seemed to think of something again, unloaded a small black package from his waist, looked at him and said softly, "I pawned all the valuable items on my body before I came to Zhongjing, but I am afraid that no matter how much money I have, I really can't take it out, and I hope my brother will not dislike it." ”

"This..."Lu Yaozong was very surprised, he didn't know what to do, and said softly to the maid beside him, "Come, Ling'er, it's cold outside the house, take the child in first." ”

"Yes, sir." The maidservant answered, stepped forward to take the baby from Lu Yaozong's arms, hugged it steadily, and then turned around and walked towards the house.

The man in black was a little reluctant to see the servant girl disappear into the darkness, but he quickly came back to his senses and handed the package to Lu Yaozong, but he was directly rejected, and whispered: "You can rest assured that you will hand over the child to me, no matter what, I will never accept this money." Lu Yaozong took his hand as he spoke, patted it gently as if comforting, and then let go.

I saw that there was an extra silver ticket in the palm of the man in black, and he was immediately shocked, "Brother Lu, this ......"

"Since it's a valuable thing, it must be very important to you, go and redeem the thing first, as for the remaining silver taels, you... Just leave it on the road to be a pester. Lu Yaozong looked at him with a smile on his face.

As soon as the words fell, the tears that the man in black had endured for a long time had gushed out like broken threads, "Brother Lu's great kindness, no teeth are unforgettable, if there is an afterlife, he will be a cow and a horse for his brother to hold kindness." The man in black clasped his hands into fists, bowed deeply, lowered his head, and wept silently.

is the so-called: Looking back at the West Mountain and the sun is slanting, it is really difficult to be a lonely guest at the end of the world, and the husband does not flick when he has tears, but he has not reached the sad place!

After hearing this, Lu Yaozong's heart tightened and helped him up. Everyone has hardships, everyone has unspeakable secrets, he can understand, "Okay, don't stay any longer, go back quickly." ”

The man in black wiped the tears on his cheeks, mumbled, nodded and turned back to the horse, patted off the snow on the saddle, jumped up, and said, "Brother Lu, I will definitely find an opportunity to visit him in the future, thank you for suffering and taking him in, thank you very much." "Let's do a big salute.

Lu Yaozong looked at him, nodded, and did not answer.

The man in black suddenly fell silent, he felt so light in his chest... It's so light... As if he had lost something, what did he think of, and what did he seem to be recalling? Looking up at the snowflakes in the sky, it's so beautiful and so desolate! I don't know when we will see each other today, or maybe we will never see each other again.

When you close your eyes, you can see snowflakes drift into your chest with the cold wind and fall closest to your heart. opened his eyes, took a deep breath, straightened the horse rope, looked at Lu Yaozong again, and hugged his fists and saluted: "Brother Lu, I have taken my leave." With that, he drove the whip away.

As soon as the cold wind passed, the quiet and beautiful snowflakes began to dance again.

Quiescence... Deathly silence.

Only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. Lu Yaozong watched the man in black disappear into the night, pondering, a little dazed, and a little overwhelmed, as if nothing had happened in a dream.

The nights in the depths of winter are still so cold, still so dark.

Suddenly, he remembered the small piece of paper in his hand, turned around quickly, walked to the side of the housekeeper, and looked at it through the faint light of the candle lamp in his hand, and suddenly his face changed, and he was shocked!!

The butler standing aside also seemed to see the strangeness of the master, approached him and asked, "What is written?" Master. "I want to be curious to take a look.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yaozong quickly withdrew his hand and blocked in front of him. The housekeeper was stunned and didn't see anything.

At this time, Lu Yaozong didn't know what he was thinking, and even his hands trembled unconsciously, looking at the flickering candle in front of him, his brows furrowed, and a thought flashed in his mind, so he immediately stepped forward and lit the paper with the candle, he was a little distracted, the flames actually burned his fingers, a piercing pain woke him up, and he subconsciously let go of his hand, and the piece of paper that was smiling fell into the lamp along the hole above the candlelight, because the candle was wrapped in a thin layer of lamp paper, and the paper helped the fire and quickly ignited.

The sudden fire stunned the family, and in the panic, the candle fell off from his hand and fell to the ground, and he hurriedly said: "Master-master-fire!" As he spoke, he was busy catching snow and extinguishing the fire with the housekeeper on the side.

Lu Yaozong was startled, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately stopped them, and he didn't know what he was thinking, just silently stared at the flame on the ground. The fire burned the wooden lampstand to the ground. Syllable! The firelight reflected the pale face of his face, and his expression was full of great nervousness and consternation, and he smiled bitterly, "That's it, let it be extinguished with the cold wind!" After speaking, he sighed slightly in his heart, shook his head helplessly, and turned around and walked towards the house.

The housekeeper and the housekeeper looked at each other suspiciously, and there was nothing they could do, they were silent for a moment, and they returned one after another, and the housekeeper walked away and gently closed the door of the house.

The night was quiet again, the wind was blowing, the snow was falling, and it seemed that the temperature at this time was lower than before. Although the flame in front of the gate of the Lu Mansion was fierce, it could not be presumptuous in the cold wind, and it was extinguished by the heavy snow in just a moment.

In the early morning, the wind and snow stopped, and although there was a little sunshine, it was not warm at all. When the family came to the door of the house and cleaned the ashes of the candles last night, they swept out a small piece of unburned paper in the thick snow, but unfortunately it had already been unrecognizable, so it was helpless to sweep away with the ashes.
