Chapter 192: Prelude to the Storm
March 14, very early morning.
Outside the window, the rain was turbulent, crackling on the eaves and in the corners.
Disturbed by the sound of rain hitting the rubble, Lin Han simply got up, walked to the window, and gently pushed the window open, a fresh earthy smell unique to spring came to his face, and the raindrops accompanied by the smell of pollen were refreshing.
Estimating the hour, it is already the end of the day, and it will not be long before it is time for the Songshan disciples to order the morning class, but looking at the sky, today's morning class will definitely be canceled.
Confused thoughts, Lin Han suddenly laughed out loud, what does it matter if you don't have morning class?
Shaking his head gently, he took out a dark oil-paper umbrella from the corner, and carefully tossed and turned the wooden door without making the slightest sound, so as not to disturb the sleep of Qiuli and Feiyan.
Standing under the eaves, listening carefully, glad that the two were not woken up, Lin Han was as happy as a child, perhaps, this is where the heart belongs, perhaps, this is the joy of life bred in the ordinary.
Stretching out the oil-paper umbrella, accompanied by the sound of wind, rain, and insects, Lin Han gradually disappeared into the darkness before dawn.
Click, click, click......
Under the dim sky, the shining rain line came to his face, and in the misty smoke and rain, Lin Han, who was open-hearted, paced.
Let this amorous rain frolick inside and outside the paper umbrella, and from time to time there will be naughty rain, through the barrier of the umbrella, kissing the hair and eyes.
Blinking his eyelashes wet with the rain, letting the small condensed raindrops fall on his face, an inexplicable deep longing lingers in his heart, what is that?
Once young, laughing in the rain, it was shy and pretty.
Memories are like a tide, obliterating sight and time, at this moment, Lin Han can't tell whether it is a dream or an illusion?
In the quiet courtyard of Songshan Mountain, the hut in the world of smoke and rain, two women woke up from their sleep.
In a daze, Qu Feiyan rubbed her eyes hard, and suddenly, as if she had discovered something interesting, she suddenly jumped to the window, stretched out her jade arm as tender as a white lotus, and gently pushed it, and the window door opened.
"Ah, sister, it's raining, it's raining, come and see, come and see!"
When I first woke up in the morning, I was as lazy as Qiu Li, and she must be as charming as silk, and her face as if she was waking up like a dream, not contaminated with a little vulgarity, must be extremely beautiful, but unfortunately, no one could see it, and the surging rain was cheap.
Walking to the window, gently squeezing around Feiyan, there is a pair of places, two women chatting in private conversations, while admiring this picture of the early mountain rain in the spring residence.
Walking aimlessly on Guansheng Peak, listening to the birdsong under the white line in the east, listening to the cheers of the morning comrades, and a touch of intoxicating smile overflowed from the corners of Lin Han's mouth, as if it should be in harmony with the great harmony between heaven and earth.
Wheels, wheels, wheels......
The sound of the wheel slide, from far to near, is particularly eye-catching in this smoke and rain.
Lin Han turned his eyes and happened to see Zuo Ming, who was in a wheelchair, slowly coming over to this side under the push of the two unknown senior brothers.
"It's nephew Lin in front?" Far away, before Lin Han stepped forward to say hello, Zuo Ming had already spoken first.
"Oh, it's me." Lin Han hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "On this rainy day, why are you also interested in coming back for a visit?" Then he said to the two people next to him: "Hello two senior brothers!" ”
"Good morning, Senior Brother Lin!" The two hurriedly responded.
Nodding, Zuo Ming smiled: "Hey, uncle's legs are all old problems, and they start to hurt when it rains, no, I didn't sleep well all night, so I simply came out early in the morning to breathe." ”
"Didn't you see the doctor again?" Lin Han asked with concern.
Zuo Ming shook his head gloomily: "It's useless, it's not better." ”
In silence, Lin Han took the wheelchair from the hands of the two senior brothers and said with a smile: "Two senior brothers, it's good for me to come here, you guys are busy." ”
"W-What's so embarrassing?" The two said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, I finally encountered a rainy day, everyone doesn't have to go to the morning class, presumably the two senior brothers also have their own things to be busy with, and I am different, every day is the same." Lin Han explained with a smile.
The two glanced at each other, unable to make up their minds, and looked at Zuo Ming together.
Zuo Ming chuckled lightly and said, "You guys are busy, I've worked hard for you." ”
The two of them were overjoyed when they received Zuo Ming's approval, and hurriedly retired to Zuo Ming and Lin Han.
Looking at the backs of the two, Zuo Ming sighed: "For the sake of me as a wasted person, my father also specially arranged two disciples to take care of me, although it was a good intention, but it also delayed their cultivation. ”
Lin Han shook his head again and again and explained: "Uncle is too self-pitying, besides, this is never an opportunity for the two senior brothers. ”
Hearing Lin Han's argument, Zuo Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, maybe they will be compensated in other aspects, it seems that I thought too much." ”
"Uncle still relaxes his mind and recuperates his body, Uncle Zuo will definitely be very happy." Lin Han pushed the wheelchair and comforted him carefully.
Nodding noncommittally, Zuo Ming pointed to a pavilion at the entrance of the dense forest road in front of him, and said with a smile: "Let's go and sit over there!" ”
Lin Han agreed, pushing a wheelchair with one hand and an umbrella in the other, and slowly approached the pavilion.
This wheelchair is very simple, but it is two wooden axle wheels, erected on top of a carriage, one of the carriages, covered with silk scarves and satin and other soft objects, the front of the carriage is hollowed out, there is a pedal at the bottom, and the back of the carriage is much higher than the sides, and the cotton wool is nailed in a protruding part to facilitate the close of the neck.
Lin Han thought, I don't know which skilled craftsman invented this cross-era thing.
Perhaps, since the world has wheels and chairs, wheelchairs have also been born.
The time of the morning passed quietly in the exchange between Lin Han and Zuo Ming. From Zuo Ming, Lin Han knew a lot of secrets about the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, and Zuo Ming understood the current situation in the rivers and lakes and the situation of the Songshan faction from Lin Han's words.
When Zuo Ming was sent back to the room, he happened to meet Zuo Yiyi, who came to see Zuo Ming, and Xu Zheng, who was glued to Zuo Yiyi's side.
Regarding Xu Zheng's pursuit of Zuo Yiyi, Lin Han has an attitude of resignation, although he occasionally maliciously speculates on the minds of outsiders, but after all, he still convinces himself with the 'heart of a villain'.
Idle and bored, Lin Han went to visit Li Ji again, and then asked him about his cultivation.
When it came to this topic, Li Ji was not polite to Lin Han, and threw out all the problems encountered in his cultivation, asking Lin Han's opinion.
Finding that Li Ji's "Red Flame True Scripture" had been cultivated to the first level of the Great Perfection, and it was not far from the second level, Lin Han was very relieved and very satisfied with him.
In contrast, Xu Zheng's "Cold Ice True Scripture" is still stuck in the first major consummation, and has not even found the opportunity to break through to the second realm, which makes Lin Han a little disappointed.
When it was about to be dinner, Lin Han refused Li Ji's invitation and left alone.
On the way home, Lin Han went to the canteen and ordered breakfast snacks for three people to take away.
The rain is still falling, as if it is endless.
Putting away the umbrella under the eaves, Lin Han shouted into the house: "Non-smoking little lazy worm, it's time for breakfast." ”
Qu Feiyan heard the shout, hurriedly rushed out of the room, saw the food box in Lin Han's hand at a glance, screamed, snatched it away, and shouted at the inner room: "Sister is a big lazy worm, come out quickly, there is breakfast." ”
Eyes touched Qiu Li, who heard the sound, both of them shook their heads with a wry smile, Lin Han said: "This rain is a little heavy, thinking that you won't go out, I went to the canteen and brought some steamed buns, zongzi, fried cakes and other foods back." ”
"Giggles, I said that Brother Lin would bring breakfast back, and I don't believe it yet!" Fei Yan said in a huff.
Qiu Li pulled Fei Yan into the house, Lin Han hung the umbrella upside down under the eaves, and also walked inward.
Spread the food on the table, a strong fragrance came to the face, and the three of them enjoyed an interesting breakfast with relish in the breath of wind and rain.
"Are your injuries healed?" After breakfast, Qiu Li snuggled up to Lin Han and asked softly.
"Well, that's it!" Lin Han enjoyed the non-smoking massage and replied very comfortably.
"Tomorrow is March 15." Qiu Li said again.
"Hmm."
"March 15 is the day of the Songshan Conference."
"Hmm."
"Aren't you worried?" Qiuli couldn't help but ask.
Grabbing Feiyan's little hand that was playing tricks in the armpits, Lin Han stared into Qiu Li's eyes, one hand gently soothed her long soft hair, and said with a smile: "The preparations that should be made have already been prepared, and the rest depends on the will of God, as the so-called 'planning is in people, and success is in heaven'." ”
"Will it go well?" Qiuli asked.
Nodding, Lin Han said categorically: "Definitely, no one can stop us, don't worry." ”
"Hmm."
"As long as the sword is in hand, no one can stop me." Lin Han said as if taking an oath, "Whether it's Yue Buqun, or Fang Zheng, or Chong Xu, it's not good." ”
Qiu Li nodded, as if Lin Han's strong self-confidence had also injected strength into her, and it seemed that she was really not so nervous.
After a long time, Qiu Li said: "You have to be careful, your mind is safe." You're more than just one person anymore. ”
Bowing slightly, Lin Han held the hands of the two of them, pressed them tightly to his chest, and said, "You should also be careful, it is best to be with the elders of Songshan, or Uncle Xu." Because when the time comes, I may not be able to take care of you. ”
"Hmm."
"Got it!"
Lin Han smiled slightly, looked into the distance, and his sharp gaze passed through the misty smoke and rain, all the way forward, all the way out.
On the other side, at the end of the green mountains and green waters, in that town, Lin Han seemed to see a bustling crowd, among them, there were Tianmen Daoren, Yi and Shitai, Mr. Mo Da, and Ning Zhong and Yue Buqun!
