Thunder Scroll Chapter 41: The Lin Clan's Bloodline
To the north of Leihuang Village, above Zhuxi Lake, there is a prosperous town called "Wolongchang", which is famous far and wide, all because there is an ancient family living in this town - the Long family.
The "Fire Dragon Dance" of the Long family attracts visitors from all over the world, especially during the Spring Festival, the "Fire Dragon Dance" of the Long family will be performed more than ten times in a row, which makes the Wolong Field very lively.
The prosperity of the day receded, the tourists who came from all sides gradually dispersed, and Wolongchang gradually quieted down. The merchants counted their earnings with smiles on their faces, but no one paid any attention to the departing tourists one after another.
In the crowd, there was a young man with a haggard face. He stood in the midst of the scattered crowd, looking lonely and helpless.
He seemed to be looking for something, and looked around for a while, apparently unable to find his way. Before he met, a shop was about to close, so he moved over and asked respectfully, "May I ask how to get to the Long family mansion in Wolongchang?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, glanced at the young man with some hesitation, and said in surprise: "What are you doing at the Long family? No one has recommended you, and the people of the Long family are afraid that they will not receive you!"
The young man finally squeezed an ugly smile out of his face, and said, "It's okay, just tell me how to get there!" The boss pointed to a laneway and said, "Go down that lane, go to the end." ”
The young man said thank you, turned and walked out of the store. The boss shouted from behind, "Young man, at least bring some gifts to the Long family!" The young man didn't hear it, opened the cigarette, lit one, took a deep breath, and walked down the alley.
Passing through several houses, the eyes suddenly brightened, a magnificent mansion presented in front of you, this mansion is afraid of a hundred years of history, the tall and brilliant courtyard gate is simple and atmospheric, faintly a royal style. It's just that it's dusk now, and such a magnificent building, but it's so dark that it's reluctant to light a lamp.
There was a knock on the brass ring on the door, and a tall man opened the door. The man was dressed in black, tall and mighty, and upright, which made people feel a sense of security. The man looked the young man in front of him up and down, frowned, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" The young man took a deep breath and said, "Help me report it, my surname is chop." ”
The tall man was shocked, looked at the young man again, and asked in a shocked tone, "You are Chopyu?" Chopyu calmed down and replied firmly: "Yes, I am Chopyu." ”
The tall and mighty man didn't say anything more, opened the door, turned sideways, made a gesture of please to Cho Yu, and said, "Please." Chopping Yu took a deep breath and walked into the Long family's compound.
At this time, it is time to put on the lanterns, but the courtyard is very dim, and there is a big red lantern hanging after walking a few steps, and each lantern has a big character written on it: "Dragon"! The furnishings in the courtyard are extremely simple, rockeries and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, all reveal a strong classical color. Chopping Yu followed the man around a few times, and gradually could smell a strong smell of Chinese medicine. At this time, the man stopped, turned sideways and said to Cho Yu: "Go, the hut in front is the 'Longye Terrace', and they are waiting for you inside." With that, he turned and left.
Chopping Yu was hesitant at the moment, he didn't know what kind of fate was waiting for him in that hut.
When I came to the door of "Longyetai", the strong smell of Chinese medicine was even stronger, and I could hear the heavy wheezing sound in the room. Whether to go in or not, Cho Yu struggled with contradictions in his heart.
"Kid, why don't you come in?" said Chopping Cloud's voice from inside the room. Unexpectedly, his ears were so sensitive. Without thinking about it any more, Cho Yu gently pushed open the wooden door of the "Longye Terrace".
The furnishings in the house are very simple, all wooden furniture. On a dark table in the middle of the room, an oil lamp was lit, and the flame of the oil lamp kept jumping, dividing the whole room into mysteries. On a wooden bed against the wall, Qiyu's mother was sleeping peacefully under a snow-white quilt. On a wooden chair next to the bed, Cho Yun reclined on it, staring at his sleeping wife without blinking, his eyes full of pity and love.
Seeing his mother lying on the bed, Cho Yu was about to say hello, but Cho Yun made a silent gesture and motioned for Cho Yu not to disturb his mother's rest. Unbeknownst to him, this silent action caused Qiyun to cough violently - it seems that these two couples were not lightly injured in the blood-red light of the torture, although they picked up a life.
Seeing that Chopyu was no longer silent, Chopyun said to Chopyu: "Go and push the door shut, the door is open and windy, don't let your mother catch a cold." "This emperor-like man also has such a tender side.
"How is my mother's condition? How do you feel?" Chopping Yu had been paying attention to the injuries of the two from the moment he entered the door, but he was not good at expressing himself, so he could only ask this.
Cho Yun was not angry, and motioned for Cho Yu to sit down, Cho Yu was not polite, sat on a stool and looked at his mother quietly, the concern and heartache were beyond words.
"As long as your mother still has a breath of air, the people of the Long family in this Wolongchang will definitely be able to cure her. Chopping Yun said lightly, "This Long family has a deep relationship with my Chopping family, and thanks to the Long family, we can pick up a life." ”
After saying this, Cho Yun and Cho Yu fell into a deep silence, and the two could no longer find anything to say. The atmosphere was awkward. Cho Yun is not a person who is good at words, Cho Yu has been afraid of Lin Zhan since he was a child, and the two of them are so silent and have reached a stalemate.
After a long time, Cho Yu broke the silence and asked lightly, "What should we do next?" Chop Yun breathed a sigh of relief and paced around the room. While pacing, he said: "Next, the mission of history is on your shoulders, and your mother and I have to find a deserted paradise and live in seclusion." When he said this, the longing and happiness on his face seemed to have been waiting for this day for a long time.
Chopping Yu's lips moved, wanting to say something, but swallowed back stiffly. At this moment, the mother in bed let out a slight cough and woke up. When she saw Cho Yu sitting on the stool next to the bed, tears immediately fell, and she stretched out her hand to hold Cho Yu's hand, and wept vigorously. Chopping Yu held her mother's hand with both hands and kept stroking it, and she also shed tears.
The mother wanted to express her thoughts about Cho Yu, but she couldn't say a word, and Cho Yu also had a thousand words in her heart, and she didn't know how to say it after all. This family of three can be described as the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, so let's cry with joy.
At this moment, the door of Longyetai was pushed open with a creak, and an old man with a white beard came in, who seemed to be a hundred years old, but he was in good spirits, full of red light, steady steps, and a faint pressing momentum.
The old man held a wooden plate in his hand, and a delicate porcelain bowl was still steaming. The old man glanced at the jade, and there was a melancholy look in his eyes, but it flashed immediately.
Seeing the old man coming in, Cho Yun struggled to sit up, bowed, and said to Cho Yu: "This Master Long is the life-saving benefactor of me and your mother, thank you Mrs. Long." For Cho Yu, Cho Yun's words were tantamount to a holy decree, not to mention that knowing that this old man was the life-saving benefactor of his parents, Cho Yu hurriedly bowed to the Dragon Master.
Mrs. Long waved his sleeves, which was considered a waiver. When Mrs. Long saw Mrs. Long come in, she struggled to sit up, but Mrs. Long hurriedly signaled that she didn't need to get up, and hurriedly took down the porcelain bowl in the wooden plate, handed it to Mrs. Chop, and said, "Quickly help your mother, hurry up and drink it." How dare you slack off, she took the medicine bowl and blew it, and when she saw that the medicine was not very hot, she helped her mother to drink it.
Seeing that she had finished drinking the potion, Mrs. Long nodded with satisfaction, took the porcelain bowl, and put it on a wooden plate. The man who greeted the jade cut just now entered the house, took the wooden plate and porcelain bowl away, and quietly closed the door.
"Master Long, thank you for your wonderful rejuvenation. Chopyu's mother lay in Chopyu's arms and thanked Mrs. Long, "If it weren't for you, we might all be ......."
"Don't say that, Madame. Master Long finally spoke, "Since you are married to Qiyun, you are the person who killed the family, and besides, you also gave birth to a son for the Qiyun family, with this merit alone, you are worthy of being saved by old age." ”
"Master Long, you are serious. "My Lin family has always been taken care of by your old man, and I don't know how to thank you." ”
Mrs. Long let out a long sigh, looked back at Cho Yu again, and then said to Cho Yun: "Taking care of your Chop family is a matter within my Long family, if you are polite, I can't afford it." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Long looked at the jade differently, he knew that there must be a secret, so he sat up and bowed to Mrs. Long, and said sincerely: "Master Long, I have been cutting clouds all my life, muddy, living in seclusion, I don't know what etiquette is, but I also understand the gratitude of the people." Your Long family has taken care of my family for so many generations, and I still don't know much about the reasons for it. Today, while the dog is also there, I also ask Mrs. Long for guidance. ”
"Hahaha......" Master Long laughed out loud, "Chopping clouds, my Long family has guarded your Chopping family for several generations, I don't know from which year, my Long family is the most loyal guardian of your Chopping family." ”
Mrs. Long sat down at the table and picked the wick of the oil lamp with his hand, and the flame instantly became a lot stronger. At this time, the man just now walked in with a wooden plate and a few bowls of tea.
"Let's drink a bowl of this 'Hantan Tea', it's good for the injury. Mrs. Long took a sip of a bowl of tea and said with a smile, "In the meantime, where can you explain it clearly in three or two sentences." However, this 'Hantan Tea' is still the taste of the year. ”
Chopping Yu sat down next to Mrs. Long without hesitation, and took a sip of the tea, and sure enough, it was fragrant and sweet, full of relish, and it tasted good.
"You kid, how can you taste the taste of this tea in such a way of drinking. Such a good tea, but let you waste it. Master Long stared at the jade with a smile and said softly, "Child, pick up the bowl and take another sip, remember to only take a small bite, let it stop at the base of your tongue, don't swallow it." As soon as the tea stopped at the base of his tongue, he seemed to have spirituality and drilled into his throat, and at the same time, a refreshing fragrance rose from his throat, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in the rich aroma......
"Good tea, good tea...... Chop Yu said several good teas, then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. Then another bite was taken, and soon the tea bowl was at the bottom. "Grandpa Long, is there anything else?" asked Chopping Yu as he wiped his mouth.
"You kid......" Mrs. Long couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the appearance of the jade, "Do you know how difficult this tea is? If my Long family wants to drink this tea, they have to go to the hinterland of Xiling Snow Mountain to pick it, and they have to beware of the owner of this tea at any time......
It seems that Mrs. Long's tea was stolen.
"Yu'er, if you want to drink, drink mine. Chopyun said softly to Chopyu, "Drink, I haven't moved!" Chopyu picked up the tea bowl, handed it to Chopyun and said respectfully: "Father, drink it, I've already drunk it." Cho Yun didn't shirk, took the tea bowl, and took a sip. Seeing that his father had drunk tea, Cho Yu brought another bowl to his mother.
Mrs. Long looked at the family and said jokingly: "The people who cut the family are all the same when you are young!"
Cho Yun took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and said to Mrs. Long: "Please also ask Mrs. Long to tell me about the origin of my two families, maybe after today, I Cho Yun will leave here permanently and will never come back." ”
Mrs. Long stroked his beard, laughed, and said, "You cut off the family, how can you leave my Long family." The people of my Long family, how can I leave you to kill the family, hey, let's start with the owner of this 'Hantan Qingcha'. ”
Mrs. Long took a sip of tea, condensed, and then said with a smile: "The owner of this 'Hantan Clear Tea', I said my name, I think you all know - even if you don't know each other, you have heard it: she is called Stop War, one of the three guards of imperial power, stop worry, stop injury, stop war, and stop the three guards of imperial power." How's that, have you heard of it?"
