Barren meadows, starry nights.

A ride over the scarred land, dusty to the south.

At the same time, somewhere thousands of miles away, a dusty young man was about to paint the scene of desolation and life in front of him on a scroll in his sleeve, sometimes smiling, sometimes laughing a little maniacally, which was unpredictable.

He raised his head and looked at the wind and smoke that was about to disperse, the sunset shining on his side, and his face was half-clouded. Qi Xiangqi clapped his hands gently, and under the glow, he raised dense golden light dust, he put his hands behind his back, and said to himself: "Ahead, is that Snow Field Erth?"

"Almost, we're going to be there after a walk. ”

"Good. ”

"What do you want to do when you get there?"

The corners of Qi Xiangqi's mouth were hooked, he smiled slightly, one hand was on his eyebrows, and the sunlight spread out, reflecting on his eyes through the cracks of his fingers.

The young man's eyes were full of coldness, and the vicissitudes of life that did not match his age.

"Draw. The young man said with a smile.

"Heh......" sighed.

The young man rubbed his face, restrained his smile, rolled up his wide sleeves, and began to walk towards the place called Snowfield Erth.

A crack cracked in the ground behind Qi Xiang, and a lizard sprang out nimbly, looking at it from its perspective, it only saw the barren sand that covered its eyes, and there were no footprints behind the young man.

————

The road was wide and empty, and when the soldiers on patrol saw it, they quickly knelt on the ground and watched him go away.

The only one who dares to have no scruples in the realm of the Lin family is the old man Lin Yan.

The old man's eyes were sharp, and he still had the bloody aura on the battlefield, and his invisible power was overwhelming, and he rushed into the hearts of every soldier who passed by unscrupulously, causing a huge shock.

What kind of invisible oppression is this......

After the old man put on his armor and sword, he jumped off the horse, raised his eyes and looked at the door of the Lin Mansion, and finally had a smile on his face. The old man took off the armor he wore on his head, his white hair was a little messy, and there was a fine bead of sweat on his forehead.

Lin Futian, who was sitting on the steps, smiled, stood up, and saluted the old man. The old man smiled and narrowed his eyes, standing not far away, carefully looking at this grandson who he hadn't seen for a long time.

Well, I've lost some weight, but it's all right, I'll have to make up for my days at home!, the old man thought to himself.

After Lin Futian stood up straight, he lifted the wine jug in his hand, raised it towards the old man, and then smiled.

The meaning is self-explanatory: the wine that you haven't drunk for many years will be made up for today!

The old man casually placed the unloaded armor on the horse's back, and walked forward laughing.

Tonight, let's get drunk first!

————

In the morning, the smell of wine dissipates and daily life descends on this land.

Lin Futian pushed open the door with one hand, the sun was dazzling, he frowned, rubbed his face, and then looked down at the ground blankly, his eyes half-open, and his face tired. Thinking of last night, Rao is forest burial day, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, shook his head, leaned on the stone table in the courtyard, sat down slowly, supported his chin, and looked at the surrounding trees, and the golden sunlight through the leaves

The veins of the machine are exquisite. Lin Futian thought of something, breathed a long sigh of relief, then stood up and returned to the house, making himself a pot of tea.

remembered that last night, the whole family was at the wine table, and even Meng Xueli, who usually doesn't drink much, drank a few glasses with Lin Yan, and then left early, went to the kitchen by himself, didn't let anyone help, estimated the time, and prepared to make some sobering soup for these people who were destined to be very drunk.

She smiled, pulled the hair from her ear, looked sideways at the bustle, then shook her head with a smile and rolled up her sleeves.

At the wine table, the old man Xue with a scar on his face has not been back for many years. Old Man Lin, Lin Yan, and Lin Futian are three. Four people in total. It's all drinkers tonight.

The chips were staggered, and only the sound of the wine glasses bumping together could be heard.

Until late at night.

Lin Futian shook his sleeves and walked out of the door, and before he took a few steps, he saw that in the morning light at the gate of the courtyard, Xinghua was holding a cup of sobering soup, and Twilight was standing behind her.

"What's wrong?" Twilight asked.

Lin Futian was stunned, and then smiled: "It's okay." ”

Xinghua pursed her lips, walked up to Lin Futian with the sobering soup, and said to herself: "I really don't know why you humans love to drink so much?

"Hey, who said it wasn't?" Lin Futian sat down.

Twilight stood aside, her eyes narrowed, and she thought it was a little funny. She didn't notice that she had been smiling a little more lately, and her whole person was more real and flesh-and-blood. And what does this mean for a demon who may be the only one? Now, I just saw a woman with a good smile, who seemed to be shining in the morning light.

"Drink it, it's ...... Your mother has worked hard. Xinghua said.

Lin Futian nodded, looking at the steaming bowl of decanting soup in front of him, his eyes were inexplicably sour, and he couldn't speak. Lin Futian took a few deep breaths, grinned, picked up the decanting soup, looked at it, and then blew it carefully.

Xinghua watched Lin Futian drink the decanting soup, a little satisfied, clasped his hands, and sat up straight on the stool.

Twilight smiled, sir. Though...... She is actually estimated to be bigger than everyone else, of course, this is calculated on a human basis.

Twilight looked at Lin Futian, a little worried. She felt a heart-touching emotion in him, lingering.

Lin Futian put down the bowl, and after a moment of silence, he smiled at the two of them: "I may have to go to the Snow Plains next to Us, I seem to have told you before, right?" Lin Futian paused, "You guys...... Do you want to come with me?"

"Yes!" Starflower agreed without hesitation. Twilight nodded.

The eyes of the two were serious, and even if they didn't speak, Lin Futian could clearly read their thoughts. So Lin Futian was very happy.

In a few days, since you have something to do, you can't just go in a hurry.

--————

Lin House.

After listening to the forest

It was late at night after the funeral day was to go to Snowfield Us, and after some of his plans.

In the huge Lin Mansion meeting hall, there were many people sitting, all of whom were sitting in the first place, and the old man who didn't say a word at this time called over. There are also some people who are not there because they have important things to do, and they really can't come back. Even so, the person sitting in the Lin Mansion Council at this moment also represents a huge part of the Lin family's strength, from the time Lin Futian came in, and then people continued to come in, Lin Futian could gradually feel the general outline of such a huge family, and then looked at the old man with a serious expression, and there was more admiration in his heart.

It is extremely difficult for such a huge group composed of most soldiers to manage in an orderly manner!

Inside the Council Chamber. After Lin Futian roughly explained his plan, there were still most people who disagreed, and most of them would persuade Lin Futian to suggest that he go to other battlefields to experience, at least it was safer than the unpredictable ghost of Snow Plains Uss, and the old people of the Lin family had great hopes for this young man, because they believed early on that the young man in front of him with a calm expression would inevitably be a successful leader in the future, representing the Lin family and facing the entire empire.

Even if Lin Futian is not too clear, but in the early years, he also realized the difference in his current identity, and now he is no longer the child who had no father and no mother before, in this life, his family is there, as a member of this family, he must bear something.

Lin Futian's gaze swept over the faces in the council hall, most of which he had seen when he was young, and they were familiar. After listening to everyone's persuasion, Lin Futian's face did not change, and he put his hands on the table and said: "Everyone grew up watching me grow up, have you ever seen me do something that I am not sure of?"

There was a moment of silence in the chamber.

Indeed, as Lin Futian said, when he was a child, he was actually taken to the battlefield by his father who looked out of tune on the surface, because something happened there, so Lin Yan was reprimanded by everyone afterwards, Xiao Lin Futian, who was standing on the side at the time, was indifferent, looked at the father who was always smiling with his hands behind his back, was expressionless for the first time, looked at him apologetically, and then said, "I'm sorry." At that time, Lin Futian seemed to be aware of what was contained in that sentence, and he didn't seem to feel anything, sitting next to Lin Yan, who was punished, he made a pot of tea by himself, poured two cups, and then naturally turned to Lin Yan and asked him if he wanted to taste it......

Lin Yan and Lin Futian, who were briefly surrounded by the enemy, were ambushed by more than 5,000 enemy troops, and Lin Yan, who was holding Lin Futian, could only block the arrows and various attacks with one hand, while looking for a gap and preparing to escape. Lin Futian, who couldn't stand it, asked Lin Yan to put him down, but Lin Yan disagreed, and then Lin Futian jumped to the ground by himself, frowning: "Don't be long-winded, now only in this way can we ensure our safety to the greatest extent." The two stayed in this encirclement for nearly a stick of incense, and finally ...... According to Lin Yan, it was Lin Futian who found an opportunity and pointed him in the direction, and then the two escaped from the encirclement together, and then the two of them been

met the black rider of the Lin family who just arrived.

Among the thrilling, not enough for outsiders also. Afterwards, Lin Yan also paid the price for his arrogance, and after that, even if Lin Futian proposed to go to the battlefield to see, Lin Yan would definitely not agree. The appearance of Lin Futian, the young master of the Lin family, was just an unexpected joy, and the most important thing was that it also made many forces on the mainland clear that Lin Yan, as a great general, was terrifying and could still escape from the encirclement of 5,000 people! It also made many people realize that Lin Yan was indeed the man's son. Lao Tzu was able to ride alone on the snowfield, and now his son can stand out from the encirclement of 5,000 people.

As the parties, Lin Yan and Lin Futian were just punished by the family law to kneel, drinking tea and chatting at the same time.

"How did you find that gap? Even I, who was so red-eyed, couldn't see that there was any gap. Lin Yan finally asked the doubts in his heart.

Lin Futian, who was still full of childishness, just drank tea quietly, glanced at Lin Yan, and then said indifferently: "Secret." ”

"Ha......" Lin Yan shook his head with a smile. He drank all the tea in one gulp, and then spat out the tea residue, drinking and drinking tea are the same. Lin Yan looked beyond the high walls of the Lin Mansion, thinking that when his son grew up in the future, assassinations like that would be more than that, right? Thinking about it, Lin Yan sighed, and then reached out and touched Xiao Lin's head with a gentle smile.

This time, Lin Futian did not dodge the hand that reached out to the top of his head.

Quietly, the wind blows the grass and sprouts, year after year, and the childish children of the year are now about to grow up.

Lin Yan smiled and looked at the child who seemed to be able to take charge on his own, his eyes narrowed with a smile.

Meng Xueli sat aside, holding Lin Yan's left hand with both hands. She was also worried. Mother, after all. Lin Yan smiled and patted the back of Meng Xueli's hand, "Don't worry, the child has also grown up, and what he wants to do should be much clearer than us." Those of us who are parents should also stand behind our child and watch him grow up......"

The sound of discussion continued, and finally, the old man sitting in the first place gently knocked on the table.

There was a sudden silence in the council room, and a pin drop could be heard.

The old man's gaze swept over the people in the council hall, and he closed the coffin and concluded: "Just do what Tian'er said, what to do around Snow Field Us, you should know in your hearts! Okay, let's stop here today, adjourn the meeting!"

The old man's words were holy decrees in the Lin family, and no one dared to say that they were not, so when the old man said "the meeting was dismissed", the people in the council hall except for Lin Yan and Meng Xueli quickly left.

Lin Futian slowly leaned back in his chair, and it was quite difficult to talk to these "old men". Lin Futian stood up, poured a glass of water for the family members who were still sitting in the council room, and then returned to his position and sat down, looking at the old man. Because he still has something to say.

The old man rubbed his forehead with a little headache and looked at Lin Futian: "Tian'er, have you really thought about it? Are you sure you want to go to the Snow Plains Usna?"

You should know that too," the old man tapped his fingers on the tabletop, "Not a good place. In that place, life is the least valuable thing, even if behind you is the entire Lin Family Army!"

Lin Futian nodded: "I've thought about it, don't worry, I've learned a lot of life-saving skills in the academy over the years." Lin Futian looked at the old man with a smile.

When the old man saw this, he couldn't say anything more. In fact, he also knew in his heart that this child was measured in everything he did, and it was difficult to change. So the old man said: "In this case, on the side of Snow Plains, I will tell them that when you go, you will go as my Lin Jiajun, and Mingli is also there now, if you have anything to tell him." The old man thought about it more carefully, and saw if there was anything he had left out.

Lin Futian sat beside the old man with a smile and said, "Since you are back now, Snow Plains Ace is not in a hurry to go first, I am here." ”

The old man raised his eyebrows: "Heh, I'm not old, and my tone is not small." ”

Lin Futian smiled and shook his head: "You should also rest for a while, you can't always stay on the front line, it's not good for your body." The current Lin family, we are here. ”

The old man glanced at the young man beside him and said with a smile, "Okay...... Good, good. ”

The old man said a few "good" words in a row. Lin Yan smiled, then frowned, rubbed his eyes, and felt a little sad.

Because...... The old man who has always seemed invincible ...... for the first time I'm old.

Lin Yan, I can't see the twilight of the hero.

Lin Futian should have noticed the change in the old man's mood, and quietly took the old man's hand, "Wait until the next time I go to Snow Field, I'll be with you." ”

The old man smiled, "And what about the next time?"

Lin Futian nodded, and said undoubtedly: "Next time, I will take you...... Take back Snow Fields. ”

Lin Yan's eyes suddenly widened, and Meng Xueli was also slightly shocked. Although similar voices have always appeared in the empire, everyone understands how difficult it is to reclaim that place.

This...... It is also a heart disease that the old man has always had.

The old man's eyes glowed with a strange brilliance, as if he had some kind of thought, and the young man who had given him similar hope had all failed, and his heart was drowsy, so the old man no longer had any hope, and the seemingly distant thought had to be buried, and if he didn't think about it, he wouldn't be disappointed more. Now when I hear such words again, I don't know why, but I always feel that it is possible!

The young man's words are relaxed, but they have an inexplicable power.

How many years?

The old man breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the moonlight, the clear light is sprinkled on the courtyard, the moon is a little round in the sky, and there are no clouds around, tomorrow, it should be a good weather.

Lin Futian put his hands behind his shoulders and quietly looked at the bright moon and clear light, unable to see the boundless night sky, and the desolate place he was about to go.

The old man and the others stood beside Lin Futian, thinking that Lin Futian would be on the road tomorrow, but there was actually something wrong in their hearts. After all, he didn't stay for a few days before leaving.

"On the road......

Stay safe. Meng Xueli said softly. She knows what he wants to do, and as a mother, it is inevitable that she wants her child to stay by her side, which is human nature. When I was young, I had those "big" dreams, but after becoming a mother, my biggest dream always seemed to be related to children. "Bring more thick clothes, there is heavy snow all year round, and the weather is freezing ......"

Lin Futian nodded and smiled, "Okay." Mother...... You should also pay attention to your clothes, so as not to catch a cold, it will be autumn soon. ”

Meng Xueli laughed softly and squeezed Lin Yan's hand. Lin Yan patted her hand comfortingly and looked at her with a smile.

The old man also looked at the night sky, and in that desolate place where the war would not know when, he would always forget to look up at the starry sky. Just like Tian'er said, now it's time for me to rest for a while, alas, it's not okay to be old, and now I feel a little hard to go to the battlefield in armor, and if I can, it will cause them trouble......

The old man smiled and shook his head, his hands behind his back, a little tired.

Finally, Lin Futian said goodbye and went back to the house, ready to rest for the night, and will be on the road tomorrow.

Before leaving, the old man and the others were still standing at the door of the council hall, so when Lin Futian left, his steps were a little unnatural.

Watching Lin Futian disappear into the courtyard, the three of them sighed.

"I don't know if there will be any accidents when Tian'er arrives in the snowfield. Meng Xueli worried.

Lin Yan smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, it won't." ”

The old man looked at the direction of Lin Futian's departure, sighed, and smiled: "I hope that the day I live, I can really see the recovery of Snow Field Ers......"

Lin Yan smiled: "Yes." ”

No one could have imagined that in the near future, with the arrival of the Burial Heaven in the snowfield, the rapidly changing battlefield would be turned upside down!

And the young man with that seemingly absurd idea is in the house at the moment, slowly wiping the Moon Pot Sword.
