Chapter 22: The Youth
I have planted a seed, and at last it has borne fruit, and today is a great day, pluck the stars and give them to you, and pull down the moon to give them to you, and let the sun rise for you every day;
Become a candle and burn yourself just to illuminate you, give everything I have to you, as long as you are happy, you make me every tomorrow meaningful, although life is short, love you will never leave;
You are my little apple, no matter how much I love you, my little red face warms my heart and lights up the fire of my life;
You are my little apple, just like the most beautiful cloud in the sky, spring has come to the hillside full of flowers, plant hope and harvest;
I never think you hate it, you like everything, every day is fresh with you, the sun is brighter with you, the night is not dark with you, you are the white clouds and I am the blue sky;
Walking among the blooming flowers in spring, watching the stars and winking with you at night in summer, wandering in the golden wheat fields at dusk in autumn, and snowflakes flying in winter are warmer for you......"
Setting up a Ferrari-style carriage and humming "Little Apple", Lin Fan's mood was extremely relaxed and happy, his singing voice was not good, but his singing voice was full of joy, the song echoed around the path, those butterflies, dragonflies, and birds seemed to be infected by this joyful atmosphere, and flew more energetically.

Lin Fan hummed "Little Apple", as if this song gave him vitality, sitting in the driver's seat with his hands and feet dancing, the two white horses in front of him felt the movements of the master behind him, thinking that the master was going to speed up his pace, so the two well-behaved white horses ran more and more vigorously.
Under the influence of this light song, the two horses quickly pulled Lin Fan back to Anyang, Lin Fan seemed to be enchanted, got out of the carriage, and was still humming in his mouth, this happy breath was finally blown away by his mother's questioning.
"I haven't seen you all day, where have you gone? Don't say a word when you go out to play. ”
Lin Fan picked up the cold water poured by his mother on the table, took a sip and said with a smile: "Mother, you usually don't care where I go to play, but as soon as I come back today, I will ask like this, hehe, there should be something to tell your son."
Mother laughed and scolded: "You ghost and elf, I really can't hide anything from you."
The mother sat in front of the stove and said while lighting the fire: "Remember the Guo family in Tianli, after Guo Laohan died, the Guo family was left with only Xiaozhu's child, maybe no one cares, this child is so bold that he sold the house left by his father, and now he has no place to live, but he ran to our house, saying that only our family has the ability to take him in."
I guess you didn't open a perfume shop, give him something to do, send him some money every month, so that he can have a life, he is pitiful enough, a family of four is less than three months and he is the only one left, since we have all helped his family before, then good people do it to the end, this time help him again.
Mother has agreed to this for you, you don't say anything to refuse, and when he comes to see you again, don't say anything to stimulate him, he is a stubborn lord, if you can't think about it, you may become a beggar, for the sake of pity, don't worry about him in general. ”
After listening to his mother's verbosity, the cold water in Lin Fan's hand had been drunk, and he agreed to his mother's request with a smile, in fact, if Xiaozhu really came to this kind of time when there was no way back, he would also help enthusiastically without his mother's persuasion.
I poured another glass of cold water, ready to take advantage of the sunset to see how my grandfather and Big Ear were playing against him, quenching his thirst while enjoying the chess game, and letting the warm sunset fall on him...... It's a beautiful life.
It's a pity that Lin Fan was broken before he could enjoy it, and when he saw an expressionless teenager walking towards his house, he already knew in his heart that the comfortable time was gone.
I don't know if Xiaozhu's things in the house have been sold by him or there is nothing at all, he didn't bring anything over, only carrying a burden, in the morning he came empty-handed to talk to the family, this time with the package is determined to stay, I really don't know where this guy's confidence comes from, how can I believe that I will definitely agree to his request, play the sadness card.
Lin Fan didn't say hello to him, with this kind of person, it was a hot face and a cold ass, Lin Fan didn't want to be bored, he just shook his head and motioned for him to enter the house with him, without saying a word.
"Tell me, what is your purpose?" As soon as he entered the room, Lin Fan leaned on the table and asked Xiao Zhu, who was still standing at the door with his baggage, such a question.
Xiaozhu was obviously surprised, glanced at Lin Fan in surprise, then lowered his head, and said nothing.
"You suddenly sold the house, not to make money, not to do something, you don't want to be a poor worm and let me pity you, you are not this kind of person, you and my mother said that you want to take refuge in my family, and you want me to find something for you in the perfume shop to do, I'm afraid it's not your real purpose, what is your intention to put yourself in a desperate situation and ask us to take you in?"
Lin Fan's questioning didn't play a role, Xiaozhu's cold face didn't have any expression, and he still maintained his original posture, as if he didn't want to answer Lin Fan's question.
"Before I really understand your intentions, even if my mother agrees to take you in, I will not agree to any of your requests, I heard my mother say that you are looking for me, obviously you have something to ask me, if you just want to live in my house, or want to do things in the perfume shop, as long as my mother passes, it doesn't matter much, you don't have to look for me again...... Let's say, my patience is limited. ”
After saying this, Lin Fan decided not to talk nonsense anymore, it was tiring to talk to this kind of person, let alone get along, and after waiting for a while, seeing that he still had to keep silent is noble posture, Lin Fan shook his head and left the house.
Walking to the door, the ice finally melted a little.
"I want to apprentice."
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, stepped back and asked with a smile: "What do you want to learn from me, a scholar?"
"Not for you." Xiaozhu still buried his head.
Lin Fan touched his chin and smiled, covering up the embarrassing atmosphere, and then asked Xiaozhu suspiciously: "Then who do you want to worship as a teacher?"
Xiao Zhu didn't speak, he finally raised his head, but instead of looking at Lin Fan, he threw himself at the two old men who were playing outside the house.
Lin Fan seemed to understand something, and said in surprise: "You want to learn martial arts?"
Xiaozhu nodded, and finally glanced at Lin Fan, but Lin Fan smiled and said, "Then you can find him directly, and you can do it through me."
"Not familiar."
Lin Fan looked at the young man in front of him in amazement, he didn't know if this reason was too far-fetched, but seeing that this piece of ice was so hard, he didn't say anything, and sighed secretly and handed over a cup of tea to this piece of ice.
There was no gratitude on his face, he took the tea indifferently, and silently followed behind Lin Fan to the two old men outside the house.
When he got here, Xiaozhu seemed to be a lot smarter, and he didn't need Lin Fan to say anything or hint at anything, so he knelt in front of Da Er with a plop, lowered his head and held the tea high, but he didn't say a word, just knelt stupidly like that.
The two old men were shocked by Xiaozhu's move, looked at Xiaozhu who was kneeling, and then looked at Lin Fan, who was standing beside him with a smile, and understood in their hearts that this scene in front of them must be the ghost of this kid.
Lin Fan didn't think so, and quietly listened to his grandfather laughing and said that Da Er was still accepting apprentices with old bones, and he was not afraid of bending his waist, Da Er sneered, and it was no problem to accept ten more apprentices with his body bones.
The two old men didn't discuss this issue anymore after arguing, and seemed to directly treat Lin Fan and Xiaozhu as air, both of them were focused on the chess game, and they were in a critical period and couldn't be distracted.
I really admire Xiaozhu's perseverance, when the two old men finished playing this game of chess, the last luster of the sunset disappeared, and he still raised his hands like that, isn't his hand sore.
His hands were not sore, but they were trembling, Lin Fan knew that this was a state of extreme sourness, Xiaozhu was fighting to the death, looking at him sweating profusely, he knew how hard he persevered.
There's nothing to pity, you always have to suffer a little bit of hardship, you can't bear this little hardship and learn a fart martial arts.
There was a puddle of tea flowing on the ground, Lin Fan added tea a few times, but Da Er didn't drink it until he got up after playing chess, he didn't even look at Xiaozhu, and went to the back room to eat and drink with his grandfather with a smile, as if he didn't see a little boy kneeling next to him, and a little boy standing.
Lin Fan took the teacup in Xiaozhu's hand and leaned back, and when he looked down, he found that Xiaozhu raised his head, his eyes showed fanaticism, maybe he was a little disappointed to see that the person in front of him was not the person in his mind, and soon that fanaticism disappeared, and he shrugged his head decadently.
Lin Fan drank another cup of tea, patted Xiaozhu on the shoulder and said: "If it is so easy to apprentice like learning martial arts, then there are masters in this world, the most important thing is persistence, the most important thing is that you can endure hardships, I have helped you open this game, and the rest depends on your own creation, whether you can have a perfect result depends on your attitude, come on, come on."
When Lin Fan slept and woke up naturally, the sun had climbed up the high slope, although today was the day to meet Wanhualou with the three brave generals, he was not in a hurry at all, he still washed and ate unhurriedly, and then slowly got into his car and went to Chang'an.
Anyway, Datang doesn't have a long-distance communication tool like a mobile phone, no matter how Lin Fan drags it, no one will urge him.
As soon as the carriage arrived at Wanhua Tower, he heard a big mulberry voice calling his name, Lin Fan got out of the car and looked up, and sure enough, it was the dwarf who poked his head and beckoned down.
Lin Fan waved his hand to greet the dwarf, let the handyman bolt the carriage, and went upstairs under the leadership of **, the singing was curling, Xue Tao in the tent was playing the qin and performing a song, and the brave general sat by the window after that, as soon as Lin Fan came up, they all stood up and signaled Lin Fan to come over quickly, the dwarf wanted to speak but was stopped by Qin Yong, and the roar downstairs just now had annoyed the other people in the hall, and if it came out like this again, I was afraid that it would start a fight here.
I don't know if it's because of the same interests, Lin Fan and these three brave generals seem to get along very well, and they don't feel as strange as when they get along with other people, there is no such thing as estrangement between them, maybe several men are open-minded people, unlike the literati who have an extra layer of artificiality and some more etiquette.
People who march have always been straightforward, Lin Fan likes to get along with this kind of person, there is no pretentiousness, no lies, so after three glasses of wine, there are more words between them......
Men get along so strangely, they don't twist like women, even if the two are still fighting one second, the next moment they will be friends, the easiest to make friends at the wine table, and under the stimulation of alcohol, many worries will disappear.
The more he drank, the more and more people talked, Niu Zhongren was struggling to speak, he just smirked, shaking his big head and glaring around, and he didn't know if he scared the Qinglou woman away.
Lin Fan and Qin Yong are relatively quiet people, although the two talk a lot but not loudly, the two seem to have more common topics, one moment to raise a glass to celebrate having a common opinion on a certain topic, and when talking about women, they are so excited that they can only clink glasses and lean up, in order to vent their hatred of seeing each other.
Cheng Huaimo's voice was as loud as a trumpet, as if he was worried that others would not know about his dirty things, but it was a pity that others didn't want to listen to his old past, even if he showed his strong side of how he killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield, others only felt disgusted.
Most of the people sitting here are pampered literati and artists, they don't have any joy about the battlefield, and you are showing off loudly here at this moment, in fact, you are making a loud noise.
What is this hall on the second floor of Wanhua Building? A place of elegance!
The person who plays the piano and sings the music is a beautiful and gentle woman, the music she sings is also elegant, and the person who listens to the music should also be a gentle and elegant person.
Many people were dissatisfied, but no one dared to stand up to stop Lin Fan's bad behavior of talking freely, because they couldn't beat each other, so they had to swallow their anger, only to scold, and only to vent their dissatisfaction with contempt and resentment.
Lin Fan and the others didn't seem to care, they still drank and chatted in their own way, and the vicious eyes of those literati and ink writers couldn't kill these four big people.
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the music was interrupted, and a pink maid came out of the tent, and she bowed very respectfully to the people in the hall, and then said that the young lady was tired of asking the guests to come back in three days, and flashed into the tent, without giving people any opportunity to inquire.
Yaxing was interrupted without a head or tail, the literati and artists were very angry, and the sound of the piano and music was gone, but the chatter on Lin Fan's side was still the same, and only their laughter was left in the entire hall.
Looking at their faces, someone in the hall was finally angry, the angry person was a young literati, at the age of boiling blood, he stepped forward and was about to overturn Lin Fan's table without saying a word, maybe he lacked exercise, and he didn't lift the table for a long time.
This move angered Cheng Huaimo, he grabbed the man's collar with one hand, lifted him up with one hand, and asked him sharply what he wanted to do, but this literati was also a stubborn master, and he was not afraid to scold Cheng Huaimo and others for their indecent behavior.
