Chapter 50: Chinese New Year's Eve
Zi Xuan looked at Lin Fan and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you are wrong, this is not a trick, but you are familiar with the characteristics of the weapon in your hand, take this shovel as an example, it is powerful and heavy to wield, the moves are flexible, the upper and lower eyes are slashed, and the combination of spear and knife techniques is more ferocious." There are three major moves that are the most practical, shoveling, picking, shooting, and you can also borrow objects to throw remotely in the sand and gravel. ”
It took Lin Fan a long time to clean up the sand in his eyes, and asked with a disgraced face, "Senior brother, how did you come up with this?" ”
"Master once said that kung fu still comes from life, every bit of life can comprehend martial arts, and every grass and tree has a place to learn and understand, so let's come and work with my senior brother." Zi Xuan said that he was about to hand the shovel to Lin Fan.
"Senior brother, the chicken soup is ready, go back to the room and drink it while it's hot."
At this moment, Su Rong came over, Lin Fan smiled at Zixuan embarrassedly, and cheered him up with an extremely strange expression: "Senior brother, senior sister's kindness is difficult, I'll go back first, you dig here slowly, come on, I will support you spiritually!" ”
..............
Bang! A loud bang echoed in the valley, fireworks bloomed in the sky, and in the fireworks in the sky, the firecrackers on the ground also began to crackle, after the fireworks, Lin Fan rubbed his face that was red from the cold, and came to the master's room with his senior brothers and sisters.
"The eldest disciple Zixuan, hand in hand with the second junior brother Jiang Yun and the fourth junior sister Su Rong, greet the master for the New Year, and wish the master a happy new year and all the best." As soon as they entered the door, Zixuan and the others bowed their hands to Xiaoyaozi to greet the New Year.
"Master, Master, on this day of removing the old and welcoming the new, the disciple wishes you to attract wealth and treasure, make money every day, live more and more young, smile and have good luck, please send down a lot of red envelopes." Lin Fan sneered and unceremoniously begged for the red envelope.
"Hahaha, good, good, you are all good apprentices for the teacher." On this special day, Xiaoyaozi rarely showed a kind smile, praised several disciples amiably, and took out the red envelopes that had been prepared from his arms.
"Hey, where's Cheng Pu?" Xiaoyaozi was about to distribute red envelopes, but found that Cheng Pu didn't seem to be there, and looked around and asked.
"Master, have you forgotten? This year..."Zixuan was just about to explain, Xiaoyaozi's door was pushed open, and Cheng Pu walked in with a picture scroll in his hand and a tired face.
"Isn't it my turn to clean up this year?" Cheng Pu walked in and said, and then arched his hand and said: "Master, disciple Cheng Pu wishes you every year to have today, years to have today, blessings like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity is better than the immortal pine of Nanshan." ”
Jiang Yun glared at Cheng Pu and scolded: "What are you doing, today is the New Year and not Master's birthday." ”
"Second Senior Brother, don't care about so many details, guess what I found when I cleaned the warehouse?" Cheng Pu smiled evilly and unfolded the scroll, and an ink painting was displayed in front of everyone.
In the painting, a naked baby boy is lying in a cradle and drifting down the river.
"What is this?" Lin Fan was a little puzzled, and before he could ask, Jiang Yun on the side suddenly changed his complexion, his face flushed and shouted angrily: "Isn't this the painting I secretly hid when I cleaned up last year?" Cheng Pu, you brute, who let you find out! ”
Jiang Yun angrily went straight to Cheng Pu, wanting to snatch the scroll, Cheng Pu had already guessed that he would be like this, and at the same time as Jiang Yun pounced, he casually threw the painting to Lin Fan.
"Second Senior Brother, you blushed and ran a bubble teapot, could it be that this is a portrait of you when you were a child?" Lin Fan took the portrait and looked at it carefully, and suddenly laughed and said: "This painting is really realistic, even your little brother has drawn it, but why, only a small dot pointed out with a brush?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yun exuded an incomparable murderous aura around his body, he stared at Lin Fan fiercely, gritted his teeth and said slowly: "Lin Fan give me the painting, or I will kill you!" ”
Lin Fan was a little timid, the second senior brother went crazy, although he didn't really kill himself, but it was still very possible to beat him violently, seeing Jiang Yun slowly approaching, he hurriedly hid behind Xiaoyaozi, pretending to be a pitiful and muttering: "Master, look at the second senior brother, he bullied me again." ”
"Stinky old man, get out of the way!" Jiang Yun came to Xiaoyaozi, swallowed his saliva, and didn't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi after all, and roared in a low voice.
"Hide from your mother! The stinky old man is also called by you? Xiaoyaozi slapped it over, slapped Jiang Yun's head fiercely, and rebuked angrily: "I still wonder why such a monumental painting suddenly disappeared, it turned out that you stinky boy hid it." ”
Xiaoyaozi took the scroll from Lin Fan's hand, turned around and walked to the bedroom with a snort, Lin Fan looked at Xiaoyaozi's back with a blank eye, and shouted softly: "Master, the red envelope hasn't been sent yet!" ”
As soon as Lin Fan's words came out, Cheng Pu grabbed the collar at the back of his neck, grabbed him and rushed towards the door desperately, and then ran and explained: "I also want a fart red envelope, money is a small matter, life is a big matter, and escape is important!" ”
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them made a move, Jiang Yun saw that Master Xiaoyaozi had returned to the room, so he had scarlet eyes, and couldn't wait to rush straight to the two, seeing this situation, Lin Fan hurriedly broke free from Cheng Pu's hands, transported the light power to the extreme, and ran out in a panic.
Along the way, Cheng Pu and Lin Fan hugged their heads and scurried, and the back of their heads were chased by Jiang Yun while grabbing a snowball, smashed all over their heads, Lin Fan felt that he seemed to have broken through the limit again, and when he was chased by the flowers raised by Ten Thousand Beasts Villa and Ji Xiaolan with Lingsha, he didn't run so fast.
"Whew! Call! Senior Brother Cheng Pu, did you say that the second senior brother is gone? Lin Fan gasped and asked in a low voice.
In a remote snow cave, Lin Fan and Cheng Pu squatted on the ground side by side, shivering from the cold. Messing with the frozen body, in the end, I couldn't help but hug each other and keep warm.
"I don't know, when he's tired of looking for it, or when he's angry, he should go back." Cheng Pu replied stupidly.
Lin Fan glanced at Cheng Pu complainingly, and complained, "Why do you say you have nothing to provoke him?" Master once said that in the rivers and lakes, the most unprovoked thing is not the court and the heroes who kill people without blinking, but women, and now it seems that in addition to women, there are also masters and second senior brothers who cannot be provoked. ”
"Fuck you, I just found the painting, who told you to taunt him? What little brother is a point, don't take me with you if you die! Cheng Pu retorted.
"Okay, okay, this time, is there any point in arguing about who annoyed him?" Lin Fan argued with a smile, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and changed the topic: "Speaking of which, Senior Brother Cheng Pu, is the second senior brother Jiang Yun an abandoned baby who was picked up?" ”
"That's right, it was Senior Brother Zixuan who found him by the river and brought him back, and together with Master, raised the Second Senior Brother and adopted him as a disciple. Speaking of which, the name Jiang Yun was given by the senior brother, because he was picked up by the riverside, and the senior brother hoped that he would not be obsessed with his life experience in the future, but be as free and carefree as the clouds in the sky, so he named the second senior brother Jiang Yun. Cheng Pu told Lin Fan about the past he knew.
"It turns out that the name of the second senior brother was given by the senior brother, and the one picked up by the river is called Jiang Yun? If you pick it up in the vegetable patch or the thatched toilet..."Lin Fan said with a smile.
Cheng Pu glanced at Lin Fan and solemnly admonished: "Don't say this in the future, if the second senior brother hears it, I'm afraid you don't really want to die." ”
"Got it, got it!" With the fierce and vicious face of the second senior brother Jiang Yun in his mind, Lin Fan subconsciously shrunk his neck and hurriedly agreed.
"I heard that the fourth senior sister Su Rong is also an orphan, is it possible for the senior brother Zixuan to be too?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
Cheng Pu's expression was a little gloomy, and he pondered for a moment as if he remembered a lot of past events, and then nodded slowly. "That's right, the senior brother and the second senior brother seem to be abandoned babies, Senior Sister Su Rong is also very pitiful, the whole family has been killed, as our favorite little junior sister, several of our senior brothers have always wanted to help her take revenge, and have been secretly investigating, but they have been pursuing for many years, and they have not found any clues about those enemies, Senior Sister refuses to say, and Master also said that everything should not be forced."
"What about you?" Lin Fan continued to ask.
"I'm the only one in the mountains who has a home." Cheng Pu showed a nostalgic look on his face, smiled proudly, and then pursed his lips again, and said with emotion: "It's a pity that my mother went early, not long after my mother left, I came out alone, met the senior brother and the second senior brother, and joined Xiaoyao Valley." I haven't been back much since then, and I don't know my dad and brother, and... How's the little lady? ”
"Senior brother, don't think about it so much, if you miss home, junior brother will accompany you in the next year, let's go back and have a look." Lin Fan proposed.
Cheng Pu looked at Lin Fan again and again, and finally didn't say anything more, only spit out a word after a while: "Okay." ”
............
The sun shines on the snow with a golden light, and the snow begins to melt at the morning sun on the hillside, slowly revealing the yellow-black ground, and the snow moistens the soil, soaking the hawthorn of last year, and is covered by snow, and the grass roots that have been dormant awaken and come back to life.
As the saying goes, the snow is not cold and the snow is cold, and the snow will finally stop covering the mountains after the year, Lin Fan wrapped himself in thick cotton clothes and went down the mountain with Cheng Pu, ready to accompany him home to have a look, but the strange thing is that Cheng Pu's face did not show the slightest joy.
Half a month later, the two came to Cheng Pu's hometown, outside the town at the foot of Wutai Mountain, in a scenic wilderness, Cheng Pu seemed to be searching for something.
"It's another year of spring flowers." Looking at the scene of the recovery of everything around him, Lin Fan sighed with emotion, and then he noticed Cheng Pu standing in front of a grave, standing expressionlessly.
Lin Fan leaned over curiously, and asked casually, "What's the matter, Senior Brother, what are you looking at?" ”
