There is a platform on the high slope, which is very quiet in the shade of green trees, and what is even more beautiful is that from here you can see a river coming from a distance, and when you reach the near place, the river flows into the shape of a crescent moon. To the west of the river are houses with white walls and black tiles, and the heights are scattered like a painting. The vegetable furrows on the riverside are green and turquoise, and there are two stone bridges distributed on the river, and after crossing the bridge, there are patches of farmland to the east of the river. It's autumn, and the farmland is a shallow golden color.

"Right here, have you spent more than ten years?" Meng Shenshan looked around, and his heart, which was full of worldly distractions, was suddenly extremely calm.

Xiao Tianxue stood in the wind, and her pale cyan clothes kept flying. Walking up from behind Meng Shenshan and standing side by side with him, she said: "Yes, every day follows the sunrise and rests at sunset, and the spring planting and autumn harvest are carried out step by step, which is very fulfilling and does not take much effort." ”

"Did I do it?" Meng Shenshan squinted.

"Why do you say that?" Xiao Tianxue's eyes were calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Because I married into the Xuanmen and was forced to leave, others don't know the reason inside, but I just thought I drove you away for others. That year," Meng Shenshan said in a deep voice, "Xiao Daxia almost stabbed me to death on the spot, which can be proved." Your family really hates me to death, because I, even you have been burdened, making it difficult for my father-in-law, Uncle Tianyun, and you to face the world again. Turning sideways, facing her, reaching out and touching her face. Xiao Tianxue dodged a little, but he still insisted.

His hands were hard and the skin was rough. The "Master of Xuanmen" is not lying down to achieve the current status quo of "fame shocking the rivers and lakes", he, for so many years, has actually had a very difficult time.

The place where he touched it was numb and crispy, and her face was tender and silky, still in the prime of life sixteen years ago.

One has been in the WTO for 16 years, and the other has lived in seclusion for 16 years, and the bitterness and happiness of their respective days can only be truly felt by each of them.

Xiao Tianxue is reasonable, in such a comparison, there is a lot less resentment and resentment towards him. Looking up, he stared into his eyes focused and determined. Without the slightest hesitation, the affection mixed in it washed away the remaining dissatisfaction at once. Tenderness swelled up, and she finally sighed.

His hand fell on her shoulder, and she didn't hide.

The corners of Meng Shenshan's mouth raised a smile, and his arm was closed, taking her into his arms. She also stretched out her arms and hugged his body, which was still strong after the vicissitudes of life.

Having dispelled all their sorrows and unhappiness, they sat side by side on a large stone that had been cleaned up. After living in seclusion in the mountain village for 16 years, even if her personality has a more quiet feeling, she is still as lively and cheerful as before, and she can't help but complain about her troubles for so many years: "I really can't believe that girl was born by me in October." She's not like me at all, okay? Since childhood, he has been making noise, still in swaddling clothes, and refuses to sleep quietly if he doesn't hold it in his hands every day. Danying and Luo'er were both bullied by her, and before she said she was going to find you, I was worried that no one would dare to marry her when she grew up. Thirty miles away, someone in the town came to propose, and before my brother objected, she threw all the dowries of other families outside, and I was really embarrassed to be a mother. ”

"You haven't taught her much martial arts yet." Meng Shenshan pointed out a little meaningful.

Xiao Tianxue leaned at him: "If she teaches martial arts, how will she end up if she breaks into a big disaster again?" ”

"I just think I'm ......"

"When what?"

Meng Shenshan smiled "hehe" and didn't say any more.

Xiao Tianxue snorted, turned her face to look in the direction of the village, and said quietly: "After I left the Xuanmen, my father sealed the sword. Although my brother inherited the martial arts of the Xiao family, he thinks that no matter how good he is, he can't be your opponent. Rather than being in the rivers and lakes and being compared by others, it will inevitably meet you in the future, and the interests are entangled and the grievances are continuous, so it is better to withdraw early. And I live in seclusion here, martial arts are cloudy, and it is useless to my Xiao family, so I didn't deliberately pass on Qiu Ling kung fu. ”

Meng Shenshan was embarrassed by these words. Meng Shenshan laughed, his face was slightly red, and then he sighed: "My father-in-law retreated bravely, treating fame and fortune as dung; The uncle turned around in a dashing manner and forgot about each other in the rivers and lakes; And you, really live in seclusion, get rid of the covetousness of the world, and get a rare tranquility - your Xiao family is very free and easy, from this point of view, from beginning to end, I am really the only one with a small belly. ”

"In the world, calculating and fighting, he has the title of 'the first person in the Central Plains martial arts', and 'Xiao Jiajian', who can remember it anymore?"

"It's just someone else watching. Whether it's sweet or sour, or bitter, I know what it's really like. ”

This was said so desolate that Xiao Tianxue ** his body, under the thin clothes, he didn't know how many scars and how many potholes were hidden, Xiao Tianxue's hands, fingertips were slightly white, and in her own heart, in the end, only the words "distressed" could be summed up.

"Liu Qian'er" is a topic that must be discussed, Xiao Tianxue said: "I don't want to use my daughter to fight for anything that already belongs to her." Qiu Ling is competitive and strong, and many things are her wishful thinking. I can't stop her from wanting to be Miss Xuanmen, but, for my own part, I won't listen to her. ”

"Qian'er is gone."

"Why?"

"I divorced her!"

"Ahh Xiao Tianxue was very surprised and stood up from the stone.

Meng Shenshan followed and stood up. "It has nothing to do with you," he continued, "I don't want to support her indirectly because of myself, and make her think that she is good enough to call the wind and rain." Fifteen years ago, you were still in Xuanmen, do you remember when she went to Taiyuan to dominate the market? ”

Xiao Tianxue frowned.

"In the past fifteen years, too much has happened in my life with her, which is more serious than the market."

Next, Meng Shenshan briefly explained how Liu Qian'er infiltrated her forces into the Thirteen Paths, and relied on these underworld gangs such as the Black Lords Gang, Changximen, Bliss Gang, Beiyu Gang, and the Blue Sect to listen to and use these things for himself, and briefly explained them one by one.

From noon, until the sky was dark, Meng Shenshankou was dry, Xiao Tianxue melted through, and sighed.

"I really don't know these things." Xiao Tianxue said.

"I persuaded her that in terms of power, I also suppressed it as much as possible. However, the righteousness led by the Black Owl Gang will become more and more rampant, and if you don't start, in the end, black and white will not be able to avoid a head-on conflict. ”

"Didn't Qian'er think about it herself?"

Meng Shenshan looked up at the sky and was silent for a long time, after that, he lowered his head, looked back at Xiao Tianxue and said: "In life, there are all kinds of things I really like. At first, I mistakenly thought that you were because of the 'Xuanmen' who took a fancy to me, but in fact, it is only today that I really understand that only people who have nothing can be very eager to have things that they have never had: fame, power, which are attached to love and even family affection, until they slowly grow stronger, and finally swallow up all feelings, and even if they regret it, they are powerless to themselves. ”

Back to the col where they arrived at the beginning, they held hands and appeared in front of Xiao Tianyun, Xiao Luo and Meng Qiuling.

Meng Qiuling likes to see the harmony of her parents. I haven't seen them for a long time, and now like this, we will talk happily with each other, and the sixteen years of discord will surely disappear. Meng Qiuling happily jumped over, and shouted crisply: "Mother, father!" ”

Xiao Tianxue twisted her nose: "The most stubborn thing is that you are unbearable, all the words that my mother taught you since childhood were in vain!" ”

Xiao Luo said: "Auntie, Qiu Ling never planned to spend her life in this small place. ”

Meng Qiuling crossed her waist and said, "That's natural!" Holding Meng Shenshan's hand and sitting at the dinner table, she couldn't hide her anger and complained: "Dad, you don't know." It's because at that time, everyone thought that you didn't want me and my mother anymore, everyone sympathized with us, and behind our backs, they laughed at me. Don't look at Brother Luo, who often accompanies his uncle to come to see me, in fact, during the New Year's holidays, occasionally my uncle takes me to his house, Brother Luo's mother, as well as those brothers and sisters of my cousins, all whispered that I have a father and no father's pain, saying that I inherited the family property of the Xiao family, but in fact it is still pitiful. ”

Xiao Tianxue's eyes widened when she heard this: "When did you hear these nonsense words?" ”

Xiao Tianyun came over from the kitchen, Meng Qiuling pulled his hand and replied to Xiao Tianxue: "Uncle also knows these things." He turned his face to Xiao Tianyun and said, "Uncle, you tell my mother, did I make up these words to deceive people." ”

"Oh-" At this point, Xiao Tianxue suddenly realized, "No wonder you suddenly have a strong heart to leave." He said to Xiao Tianyun again: "Brother, on the surface, you are doing everything possible to help me stop Qiu Ling, but in fact, Qiu Ling is going to Xuanmen, or you instructed you, right?" ”

Xiao Tianyun made a stinky face: "How come?" ”

"How not?" Xiao Tianxue grimaced, really angry.

Xiao Luo was busy pouring wine for his father, Xiao Tianyun didn't care about Meng Shenshan, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and after a while, put down the wine glass, and said: "I didn't stand in my position and teach Qiu Ling to do anything." What's more, Meng Shenshan is ruthless and unrighteous Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that what kind of treatment Qiu Ling will have if she falls into Xuanmen, I can't predict it at all, and how can she single-handedly promote her to go to Xuanmen to find relatives? ”

"But actually—"

"The truth is that Qiu Ling needs a father!"

Xiao Tianxue pointed to her brother: "Oh, sure enough, you're right." ”

Meng Shenshan pressed her fingers, took the wine jug and poured herself a glass of wine, stood up, and said to Xiao Tianyun: "Tianxue can live a peaceful life here, carefree for so many years, all thanks to my uncle's maintenance." This is a great grace, I respect my uncle, I will do it first as a respect, and my uncle is free. "Drink it all.

Pouring another cup, he continued to say to Xiao Tianyun: "I have a very strong reputation for being unkind, but my uncle still sponsors Qiu Ling to go to Taiyuan, this is a great righteousness, and I will respect my uncle again!" "Keep your neck on your back and drink it all.

The third cup was raised, and he said about the incident: "Uncle is not worried about Qiu Ling, when I go to Xuanmen, I don't ask about the indiscriminate situation, and I do it with my uncle, and I hurt you, this is my fault, this cup is my reparation!" "Drink it dry again.

In the fourth cup, he said to Xiao Tianyun: "Qiu Ling did suffer in Xuanmen, was questioned about her life experience, and was conspired by rumors, she was cut by the poisonous knife of the Lonely Demon Gate, and under the magic power of Xiaolan, a lonely fish who almost lost her life in Changye Town, Mengshan Hanlin Village was surrounded and killed by fifty-four knives of the Black Owl Gang, and she was almost separated from my yin and yang——"

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Tianxue's face turned pale and she couldn't help but shout: "How can there be these things!" ”

Meng Shenshan drank a cup and poured three more cups, making amends for Xiao Zhendong who was not here, Xiao Tianyun who had no intention of forgiving him with a calm face, and finally, he said to Xiao Tianxue: "I am the first person in the Central Plains martial arts, I can't protect you, I can't protect Qiu Ling, I also took a leave of absence, the rivers and lakes are so big, the words 'ruthless and unrighteous' are used to describe me, and the words are really appropriate." I'm sorry for you too! He drank the seventh cup.

Seven taels of wine, a lot of portions. Although his face did not change, Xiao Tianxue's heart was surging, but he still couldn't help but feel distressed. The main daughter is now sitting next to her, and those dangers are rolling on the tip of her tongue, and the past is over.

In addition, Meng Qiuling spoke for her father next to her: "Uncle, mother, I can't blame my father for those things." Actually, I want to go through those, don't I have to go through that from nothing to become the rightful lady of the Genmon Gate? ”

Xiao Tianxue grabbed her hand tightly: "You girl, don't let my heart be broken, it's like a waste of time in this world." He turned around and asked Meng Shenshan: "That lonely sect, as well as the Black Owl Gang, is it so powerful that you can't stop it?" How can you give birth to a daughter by your side, it seems like you have to face life and death every time. ”

"What about this......" Meng Shenshan closed his mouth suddenly.

"Say it quickly!" Xiao Tianxue shouted anxiously.

Xiao Tianyun let out a long sigh and interjected: "I know this." ”

"You know?" Xiao Tianxue turned her face and couldn't help but have a question mark on her face.

"Isn't it just that in such a long paragraph, Shenshan still has one less person to say."

As soon as Xiao Tianyun finished speaking, Meng Qiuling slapped the table: "Uncle, you called!" ”

Xiao Tianyun was yelled: "What's my name?" ”

"You call my daddy's name, not my last name."

Xiao Tianyun looked back and thought about it, it was really.

Meng Qiuling immediately put her arms around his neck and said non-stop: "Since it is such an intimate name, it means that you no longer have my father's anger in your bones, right?" You say, you say, my father apologized for so long, which shows that he is very sincere and sincere. People are still famous figures in the northern martial arts, so it's enough to do this. Do you really want him to lower his status? It's so low that it can't be lower before you let go? Uncle, uncle, uncle......"

Xiao Tianyun was dizzy by her noise, and hurriedly interrupted: "Stop!" ”

Meng Qiuling held his hand and just didn't let go.

Xiao Tianyun pretended to have a tiger face: "You are no longer a little niece that only your uncle can protect, now who in the whole rivers and lakes doesn't know that you'Meng Qiuling' is the favorite daughter of the master of the Xuanmen, and you are also in charge of the most important 'Moyu Ling' of the Xuanmen?" Do it, all the cousins and sisters who used to laugh at you will come to you with a smile, stomp your feet, and your uncle will be afraid of you. What else do you need to care about what your uncle thinks? ”

"Of course." Meng Qiuling pursed her lips, "People grew up with you?" If you don't let go, I recognize my father, but it still won't go well. Twisting his body and shaking Xiao Tianyun's arm, "You agreed, agreed, don't be angry with my father anymore." ”

"Alas, alright, alright." Xiao Tianyun was really afraid of her.

If she could, Xiao Tianxue was really willing to express her admiration for her daughter. There was such a big knot left between Meng Shenshan and Meng Shenling, and Meng Qiuling, the girl, was all untied in three strokes and two strokes. Seeing that Xiao Tianyun's face was softened, Xiao Tianxue hurriedly picked up the cup in front of him, quietly poured some of the wine from Meng Shenshan's cup, returned the cup to Meng Shenshan, and then raised a glass with Meng Shenshan and said to Xiao Tianyun: "Brother, let's respect you together." ”

Meng Qiuling shouted: "I'm coming, I'm coming." ”

Xiao Luo smiled and said, "I want to join too, I can't miss it." ”

A family of five cups, touching together.
