Early morning.

[Huanshu City] is as quiet as ever, this tranquility does not mean that the city is less crowded or not prosperous, the tranquility of [Huanshu City] is more of a sense of peace that brings people to their hearts.

Peace of mind is often better than anything else.

Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Although Ouyang Cheng experienced the absurd things of last night, he still slept peacefully, and it was not until noon that the second son of [Huanshu City] had just woken up. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked aimlessly at the delicate carvings of the roof.

What the hell happened last night, and how did I end up in the family's forbidden land?

Ouyang Cheng shook his head, he really couldn't think of a reason. He rested his head on his arm and closed his eyes.

Be prepared to think carefully about what the hell is going on.

There was a sudden knock on the door, "Young Master, it's time to eat." A crisp voice rang out. It was the maid of the second son who came to ask him to eat, but he didn't eat breakfast, and if he didn't eat lunch, the lord and his wife blamed him, but he couldn't bear this responsibility.

The maid outside the door frowned, a little nervous, and a little apprehensive.

What if the young master says that he won't eat lunch?

When Ouyang Cheng heard this, he was stunned for a while, until the maid outside the door shouted again: "Young Master", he suddenly opened his eyes, hummed, and said that he would go to eat later.

The maid outside the door left with peace of mind, her steps were not as heavy as they had been before, but more brisk, and she walked faster.

Ouyang Cheng sat up from the bed and suddenly thought: Father and mother should have known that they had been to the forbidden land last night, right......? I'm really done. Ouyang Cheng sighed and lay down on the bed weakly, covering his face with his hands.

After a while.

Ouyang Cheng sat up again, touched his stomach, and then licked his lips with a complicated expression.

I'm really hungry.

So Ouyang Cheng had no choice but to suppress the fear and uneasiness in his heart, washed up and walked out of the house, ready to go to dinner.

Arrived at the dinner table.

Ouyang Cheng's legs suddenly weakened, and his voice trembled and greeted, "Father...... Mother, good afternoon. ”

At the dinner table, the two people who spoke the most in [Huan Shucheng] sat there. Ouyang City Lord said solemnly: "Hmph, I know how to sleep in one day, and I don't know how to do some serious things, is it that there are too many good names for you in the city, so you are so slack?"

Ouyang Cheng sat down with a complicated mood, looked at the bowl in front of him, and said slowly, "No." ”

Ouyang City Lord is a man with great ambitions, but due to his current age, there are many things that he is now powerless, so he hopes that his son will become a dragon. Needless to say, although he does have the potential to be his successor, he is outside all day long, and his mind is not on [Huanshu City] at all. After communicating with each other several times to no avail, Ouyang City Lord also gave up, because he really couldn't resist that stubborn child, and he didn't know whose temperament he followed?

Therefore, as the second son, Ouyang Cheng naturally became the candidate for the next city lord of [Huanshu City], but now he is the only candidate.

Seeing that the Ouyang City Lord wanted to say something more, Mrs. Ouyang immediately stopped the Ouyang City Lord, then glanced at Ouyang Cheng with a slight reproach, smiled and motioned for him to eat, and then said, "Okay, don't say anything more, are you still eating?"

Although the Ouyang City Lord is beautiful and majestic outside, only the people around him know: this Ouyang City Lord is a person who is extremely afraid of his wife. This is not because of how terrible Mrs. Ouyang is, but because when the city lord Ouyang married Mrs. Ouyang, there was a related little story, which was really like that, and I don't know if it was true or not, but the two parties have never denied it, so this matter is destined to be a thing full of imagination.

It is said that when Ouyang City Lord was young, there was a time when [Huanshu City] suddenly encountered a storm that was rare in a hundred years, and it swept the entire city overwhelmingly, and at this time, the young Ouyang City Lord walked alone towards the menacing storm. No one knew what was going on behind the scenes, but then the storm suddenly disappeared, and then the city lord Ouyang brought back a beautiful woman from the wilderness outside the city, which was now Mrs. Ouyang.

I don't know why, this woman who was brought back by the lord of Ouyang City didn't like this handsome man very much, but wanted to leave the city. Ouyang City Lord fell in love with this fairy-like woman at first sight, and instantly fell in love with this beautiful woman.

What happened in the storm that day was known only to the two young men. As for why the woman appeared there, no one knows to this day.

Later, a lot of time passed, and then the woman changed from the title of "fairy" to the "Mrs. Ouyang" in people's mouths now. Ouyang City Lord had finally chased Mrs. Ouyang into his hands, but he had to cherish it, and he was afraid that it would be too heavy to say a word, which was not appropriate. So now the actual city lord should be this Mrs. Ouyang.

Ouyang Cheng secretly laughed to himself, and then ate by himself. The more he ate, the more confused he became, and said in his heart: "Don't they know that I accidentally went to the forbidden land yesterday?" Then Ouyang Cheng ate with a smile, looked at his father's expression from time to time, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he became a little comfortable.

As it was before, it is now.

Ouyang Cheng was eating happily, suddenly stopped his chopsticks, and remembered his eldest brother.

I wonder where he's happy now?

Ouyang Cheng looked out the door and thought to himself.

Inside the inn.

Lin Futian and Luo Mei packed their bags and prepared to set off.

The old man surnamed Tao and the scholar surnamed Li smiled and said goodbye to these young people, the old man was holding a gold vessel containing tea, looking a little funny, and the scholar surnamed Li stood beside the old man, as if he had already been accustomed to the old man like this

There is no word about "li". Otherwise, it is estimated that Lomé will begin to dislike this extremely amiable reader.

The old man smiled: "Lin Gongzi, this farewell, I don't know if I will have a chance to see each other again in the future, I hope Lin Gongzi's next journey will be smooth sailing." ”

Lin Futian nodded, smiled, and said, "Senior, we will have a chance to meet in the future, isn't it that we will never see each other again." ”

The old man laughed and said, "I know, that's what I said." I'll still look for you when I have a chance, you're in that northwest, right? I'll miss you in the future, I'll go there to find you. ”

Lin Futian said with a smile: "I hope that the old-timers will not look in the wrong place when the time comes." ”

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Northwest Lin family, I guess I can't think of any other place, don't worry, I'll go." ”

The scholar surnamed Li put his hand into his wide sleeve, fumbled for a while, and then took out a book and handed it to Lin Futian. "Lin Gongzi, I hope this book can bring you some good insights, and when I go to the house in the future, I hope I can listen to your views and feelings about this book. ”

Lin Futian accepted the book handed to him by the reader with a warm face like the warm sun, and looked down at the book, there was no name on the cover of the book, but it had been yellowed, and it seemed to have been read many times, and it was estimated that it was some years. Lin Futian thanked him, and then solemnly put away the books.

The scholar surnamed Li saw it in his eyes and nodded silently. There was a look of appreciation in his eyes.

The "Forest Burial Heaven" of the Northwest Lin family, he still heard of it. And the reason why he gave the book to Lin Futian was not all because he was the son of the Lin family in the northwest, but the main reason was: this young man is comfortable to look at, he has a good impression of this young man, and he also has an "eye edge".

That's all there is to it.

Luo Mei and the others said goodbye to the old man and the middle-aged scholar, and several people walked out of the inn and turned around and waved their hands slightly.

Lin Futian looked at the old man holding the gold artifact, and quipped: "Senior, if you don't mind, you can give me that gold artifact, it will be our farewell gift, and we can also help you relieve some of the burdens on your body, what do you think?" Lin Futian looked at the gold artifact in the old man's arms with a smile.

The old man hugged the gold in his arms tightly and scolded with a smile: "You bad boy, hurry up." I haven't settled accounts with you about that book, but I still remember the gold in my arms?"

Lin Futian laughed, then waved his hand, "Farewell, seniors." ”

The old man and the scholar surnamed Li smiled and waved their hands to bid farewell to these young people.

The sun was just right, shining on the backs of Lin Futian and his party, shining with golden light.

The old man squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You say, he should be the "Lin Futian", right?"

The scholar surnamed Li nodded and said, "It should be." ”

The old man suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect this kid from the Lin family to be so interesting, it seems that we have gained a lot from this trip." The old man laid down the gold, laid it near his feet, and stood up

Suddenly, he asked, "How did you think of handing over that book to that kid surnamed Lin? Could it be that you, the elm pimple, figured it out and decided to find another way out?" The old man looked at the side face of the scholar surnamed Li, waiting for his answer.

The reader was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "I think he has a good chance of solving the puzzle I have been perturbating. The old man snorted, and seeing that the scholar, who was much younger than himself, had not finished speaking, so he waited quietly for the following.

The scholar surnamed Li suddenly said happily: "I don't know why, since I saw this young man, I have an indescribable sense of closeness." ”

The old man smiled: "This kid can't be your illegitimate child, right?"

The scholar surnamed Li was rarely a little shy, and said, "Senior, don't talk nonsense. ”

The old man laughed, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked cautiously: "Brother Li, I take the liberty of asking, ...... Isn't it still a chick?"

The scholar surnamed Li was speechless, his face turned red, and then he threw off his sleeves and left, kicked over the gold at the old man's feet when he left, and then began to go upstairs.

The old man was a little surprised, and he also had an indescribable desire to laugh, it seemed that he had guessed correctly. The old man bent down to pick up the gold object on the ground that was kicked over by the scholar surnamed Li, and then followed the young man upstairs with a smile.

Outside the room for two.

The old man was locked out of the door, and the old man surnamed Tao said helplessly: "Brother Li, I know you...... That one...... You just let me in, I was wrong. ”

"No, you're not wrong, I'm wrong. Inside the room, a faint voice came out.

"Oh, then you let me in?" said the old man happily.

"......" There was no sound coming from the room.

The old man nudged them, and then squatted on the ground in despair, holding the gold object in his arms.

The door was still locked.

The old man didn't feel any anger, so he leaned against the door and took a nap.

Inside the room, a scholar surnamed Li was lying on the table with a red face.

————

In front of a small hut by the lake.

An old man caught a fish with great interest, but no fish was hooked, so the old man took a jug of wine from the house, sat down on a chair, and drank it.

The old man's name is "Song Xianmao", and people say that he is a "medical saint", but he actually doesn't like this name very much, but since others call it so, he accepts it calmly.

After all, his medical skills are really unmatched.

He was holding the flask, a little melancholy, and there was no one to drink with him. Some time ago, there was a kid surnamed "Lin" who still had a very good appetite for himself, and he could always drink a few sips of wine with him. But the kid walked too fast, and left before he could drink a few sips of wine with him.

The old man sighed, suddenly remembered a sentence, and then the old man raised his hand, raised the wine jug, and said slowly: "I always hold the wine jug in one hand, and watch the twists and turns of life at the same time. ”

Who said that?

The old man thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he finally remembered who said it. This sentence is yourself

The anonymous disciple read to himself, and he didn't know what books he read every day, and he always felt a little inexplicably melancholy and emotion.

The old man smiled, and he didn't know where the kid surnamed "Li" was now? When I used to drink with myself, I always poured a glass, and I was bored. It's not like the Nalin kid, who can't get drunk or not, and it's a bit challenging.

Song Xianmao sighed, took a sip of wine, and looked at the calm lake. I don't think this wine tastes good.

Far away in the middle of a mountain forest.

A stubble-faced man named "Ouyang" was sitting on a huge rock, holding a large loaf in his left hand and a huge chicken leg in his right. At this moment, the man was gulping down this hard-won lunch.

Not far in front of the young man, a huge chicken demon was gathering momentum, and a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on this hateful human.

As if sensing the eyes of the chicken demon, the young man raised his head slightly, looked at the chicken demon indifferently, and then lowered his head and continued to eat. He said vaguely: "You wait a while, I'll solve you right away, don't worry." ”

The chicken demon let out a long roar, spread its huge wings, its sharp claws embedded in the ground, and then instantly ran with all its strength, rushing towards the hateful human.

The ground was dusty.

The man who was eating frowned, and then put away his lunch with a curse, "Stinky chicken, so anxious to send him to death?" The man raised his head, his eyes sharp.

The next moment, the man disappeared in place, and then instantly appeared in front of the chicken demon who was running in his direction, "You're welcome." The man clenched his right hand into a fist and said calmly.

The man's left hand was palmed, and he "gently" pushed it on the raised paws of the chicken demon, and the chicken demon was lifted up by a huge force and leaned back, with an unstable center of gravity. The man's right fist came in an instant and landed on the chicken demon's jaw.

With a bang, the chicken demon landed on the broken stone in the distance, and then smashed the entire broken stone and rolled down into the distance.

The man landed gently, blew into his right fist, and looked that way.

Could it be that he shot too hard?

The stubble-covered man took out the flatbread and chicken leg that had just been placed in his sleeve, blew the dust on them, then squatted on the ground and continued to eat lunch.

What my father and mother said, when you go out, you must eat enough breakfast, lunch and dinner!

The man's mouth was stuffed with food, he looked into the distance, and then smiled happily.

A few days later.

Lin Futian and his party passed through a small village, there were not many people in the village, but they were very welcoming. At the entrance of the village sat a middle-aged man who looked honest, resting here after his work, but who seemed to be a little worried.

In their conversations with the villagers, they learned: "That man, a man with a hard life, finally married him a beautiful woman who has never been seen in the village. But somehow I came to this small village, and after I came, I stayed here ever since. Because she's in love with one

a man. That is, the sad man at the entrance of the village. ”

"Then why is he so unhappy?" asked Lomé.

The villagers replied, "Girl, don't you know, that woman had a serious illness for no apparent reason shortly after marrying him, and as a result, she has been bedridden ever since. A few years ago, there was a strong wind, and the man and the woman happened to go out, and I heard that the woman begged the man for a long time, saying that she had stayed in the house all day and was about to suffocate to death, so the man finally agreed to take her out. The result is ...... Alas. Everyone in the village shook their heads and sighed.

Luo Mei and Zhao Jingzhi were a little silent after listening to the words of the villagers.

In their eyes, they are not used to seeing so many unfulfilled love stories. Most of the stories in the book must have happy endings, so they didn't easily accept the sudden sadness.

Lin Futian sighed, thinking that he should buy them more sad books to read in the future.

When you are sad, you will gradually accept the fact that sadness exists.

Mo Yunfu couldn't quite understand this feeling, but he was still a little inexplicably depressed.

He rubbed the coins in his hands, over and over again, until his palms were sweaty.

Lin Futian has been looking through the book that Senior Li handed over to him recently, and after opening the book, after seeing the contents inside. Lin Futian couldn't put it down.

There's a lot to ponder.

The group slowly passed through the village, and by chance, they met the man from before. The man holds a hairpin in his hand. It seems that it should be a relic of his wife.

The man's eyes were a little hollow, as if he had lost everything that warranted his hope.

Lin Futian and the others looked at the man deeply, and then left silently.

Walking to the edge of the village, they looked back.

The man was looking at the hairpin in his hand, his face full of tears.

The reason why many ownerless things in the world become ownerless things is that firstly they have lost their owners, and secondly, because some people have lost their memories.

The middle-aged man looked like he still had memories.

So she's and it, still there.
