Chapter Forty-Nine: The Old Snow in the Mountains is a Furnace of Spring

The first floor of the wine is full of spring.

The door upstairs had long since been closed, leaving only a little ventilation, and the fire was vigorous, and the hot pot was boiling, so that the faint greenery of the wine became like the color of spring.

A group of brothers and sisters sat by the fireside, probably with some lights to sit idly, and the family was amiable.

Le Chaotian escaped from the five little ones, so Nandao was squeezed next to the five little ones, Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan looked at Nandao who was drinking wine, his eyes were shining, and he licked his lips.

"Uncle Shi, I want to drink too."

Nandao wanted to say what kind of alcohol the child drank, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he seemed to have started drinking a long time ago, but he forgot why he drank.

So he hesitated for a while, took a cup, and said, "Drink less, otherwise your master will definitely beat me tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, we'll drink it secretly, quietly, and we will never let her know."

Lu Xiaosan said with a grin.

"......" Nandao poured a glass for each of them.

There was not much wine left in the jug, so Nandao took the jug and went to the side to fill the jar with wine, and put it back by the fireside to heat it.

The five little ones only held the wine glass, drank it in small sips, and stretched out their heads on the other hand, holding the food in the hot pot.

A look of contentment.

The glass of green pepper wine had already been drunk when it was poured, so naturally there was no need to talk about any rules, looking at the five little teenagers who were hungry for wine and hot pot over there, the woman in red stood up, tied up her long hair, and then helped a few people add food to it.

Le Chaotian looked at it with a smile, and then took a sip of wine like the five little ones.

When you get to the outside with such a gesture, even if you are not told that you are at the same table with the dog, it is probably not far off.

It's just that this smiling junior brother naturally didn't care about this, took two sips, put the wine glass aside, put the little cabbage with snow into the pot, and then stirred a little in it with chopsticks, and then picked it up.

There are also a few vermicelli sticks that have been boiled for a long time on the cabbage leaves - this is probably the most satisfying appearance in Le Chaotian's heart.

Nandao clearly saw that after Le Chaotian picked up the chopsticks, his eyes lit up with a sparkling light.

It seems that many years ago, when he was a teenager, he also picked up such a chopstick of cabbage vermicelli.

Le Chaotian was very satisfied and ate the whole cabbage in one bite.

Even if there are some chili peppers that Zhang Xiaoyu put in on it, it is still delicious to eat, and the world is satisfied.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Le Chaotian put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine and took another sip.

Everyone looked over, and saw this young man who was keen on making music, sighing with great satisfaction.

"The most proud place in the world, the deep mountains and old snow are a furnace of spring."

In the light red hot pot of the soup in front of me, there are gurgling blisters, floating and rolling shiitake mushrooms, swaying and scalding cabbage, and a pair of chopsticks interlaced in it like the oars of a boat.

And outside the unclosed door, the mountains were intoxicated by the wind and snow.

Probably there is indeed some meaning of spring in the deep mountains and old snow.

Lu Xiaosan said with a smile: "Is Uncle Shi drunk, why are there only these two sentences today?" ”

Le Chaotian was probably a little drunk, while holding the cabbage in the steaming pot, while wiping the hot sweat on his forehead, he smiled proudly: "Lao Tzu is idle, naturally he is willing to say a few words." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the green peppers, who were accustomed to being cold, couldn't help but laugh softly.

Its practicality is accustomed to being cold, and for this woman in red, who has changed a lot, it is a bit mean.

It's just that she herself may not be able to be enthusiastic, so she is a little indifferent over there.

Le Chaotian smiled slightly with drunkenness and said, "I probably have two sentences." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu and Nandao turned their heads to see that before the wine was halfway through, there were already some drunk youths.

"The young man holds a lamp with a smile, how drunk is the red mud and wild mash? It is the most proud place in the world, and the old snow in the deep mountains is a furnace of spring. ”

Le Chaotian finished reading it to himself, clapped his hands and smiled, and said, "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”

Nan Dao looked at Le Chaotian and asked, "Is there a name?" ”

Le Chaotian tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Let's ask Chaotian to travel south to watch the five children eat hot pot." ”

“.....”

Nandao was silent.

Zhang Xiaoyu laughed softly and said, "Senior brother is very interested. ”

Le Chaotian said with a smile while eating hot pot: "Le Chaotian is happy to be in the sky, if you are not interested, you will not be called by this name." ”

A group of people happily ate hot pot.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Nandao put down his chopsticks and stood up.

Le Chaotian looked at Nandao in a daze and asked, "What is the junior brother going to do?" ”

Nan Dao walked downstairs and said softly, "I'll go and see my senior sister." ”

Lu Xiaoer also put down his chopsticks, followed, and said, "I'll go with Uncle Shi." ”

Nandao glanced back at Lu Xiaoer, was silent for a while, and said, "Okay." ”

......

Two teenagers, one older and one younger, left the small building.

The wind and snow on the mountains are still unstoppable, and the world is already invisible.

Looking back at the small building with the warm lights of the hot pot, as Le Chaotian said, this is a wonderful thing in the world.

Although there is an umbrella in Nandao, Lu Xiaoer did not go under the umbrella, but just carried a hat of wind and snow, and stepped on the snow deeply and shallowly.

Nandao glanced back at the young man and said, "Let's get under the umbrella." ”

Lu Xiaoer shook his head, but said seriously: "There are many stories under Uncle Shi's umbrella, this is what the grass is said by the predecessors, I may not be able to afford it, it is better to be drenched in wind and snow." ”

Nandao chuckled softly and said, "Actually, it's not that serious. But what are you doing with me? ”

Lu Xiaoer carried the Xiwu sword on his back and said softly: "Someone must always follow Uncle Shi, Qing.... If the woman doesn't come, then I'll come. ”

Qingjiao stayed in the canyon because she heard the wind say that there were uninvited guests in the mountains and asked her to protect the South Island.

Lu Xiaoer naturally knew about this.

Nandao was silent for a while, and on the mountain road, said, "Is that all?" ”

Lu Xiaoer seemed to be a little hesitant, but looking at the young uncle holding a black umbrella who stopped in front of him, he still said slowly: "Uncle Shi should have a good relationship with Cao Weiying's seniors, I can guess what he taught me about the sword, no one will teach others such a sword for no reason, since I have already learned, I naturally have to protect my uncle." ”

Minamijima chuckled softly and walked forward with an umbrella.

"But this is unfair to you, you can learn that sword, but it doesn't matter what grass means for fireflies, what it is. Since you called me uncle, then I have to tell you, Lu Xiaoer, you are learning swords, just for yourself. ”

Lu Xiaoer didn't say anything more, just followed Nandao quietly in the snow with his sword on his back.

After a long time, Lu Xiaoer said softly: "Isn't learning swords to take care of the world?" ”

Nandao pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Maybe this is indeed the case, but Lingnan can't take care of the world now, can only take care of Lingnan, you and I are the same, we can't take care of the people in the world, so we can only take care of ourselves first, maybe it will be in the future, but that's later." ”

Lu Xiaoer thought for a long time in the wind and snow all the way, and then said softly: "Okay, uncle." ”

But the boy still followed the South Island.

Nandao didn't say anything more, walked all the way down the mountain road, and first went to the Tianya Sword Sect to take a look, those small cyan buildings were deserted, and Wu Dalong should still be on the side of the Little White Sword Sect.

So the two of them walked along the path covered with snow that was almost indistinguishable, towards the side of the Little White Sword Sect.

Lu Xiaoer was familiar with the road, so he walked to the front of Nandao, holding the Xiwu sword, and identified the direction of those trails in the wind and snow.

After walking for a while, Lu Xiaoer said softly, "Uncle Shi." ”

"Huh?"

"What's that story?"

Nandao was silent for a moment and said, "What story?" ”

"It's the big sword cultivator who came today, and you all call him Senior Brother."

Nandao just said calmly: "Some stories that can't help themselves. ”

Lu Xiaoer was silent for a long time, and then said: "When Uncle Shi was brought back from Nanyi City by his master, he was wounded by a sword and fell into a deep sleep, I don't know if he did it or not. ”

Nandao said calmly, "Yes. ”

Lu Xiaoer looked back at Nandao and said slowly, "Why doesn't Uncle Shi hate him?" ”

Nandao was silent for a long time, looked up at the vast wind and snow in the world, and then said slowly: "Because I have seen his pain and his hesitation - this is a very complicated story. ”

Nandao whispered, he didn't know if Lu Xiaoer could understand.

It's just that when he was talking about these things, he was thinking about the person named Liu March.

Also on the tomb mountain, I heard a lot of things that Chen Huaifeng said.

So probably because of all this, Nandao didn't have such a deep hatred, and he could calmly continue to face that white-clothed sword cultivator.

Of course, people's current choices will include all the winds that have been blown by the roads they have traveled in the past.

All the initial choices, even if it takes tens of millions of years, will determine the final choice.

Just like the wisp of wind that blows through the tip of his nose when the hunter stands on the top of the mountain and opens his bow.

So the trajectory of that arrow and life will carry the will of that wisp of wind.

The little boy Lu Xiaoer naturally couldn't understand Nandao's emotions, and just said seriously: "If it were me, I wouldn't forgive." ”

Nandao looked at the little boy walking in front, Lu Xiaoer in the winter snow was wearing the same big-eared hat as Lu Xiaosan.

When he walked briskly, the hem of the boy's hat would jump up and down.

It seems to be the same.

But again, it is different.

Lu Xiaoer is far more calm than Lu Xiaosan, and he thinks more - probably because he has some more expectations.

"That's why your name is Lu Xiaoer, and my name is Nandao." Nandao said softly.

Of course, the name has no special meaning, and the biggest meaning is to distinguish each other.

It's like you're you and I'm me.

And it won't be you me, I'll be you.

That's what Peach Blossom likes to say.

The small white waterfall in the heavy snow is still flowing, and a layer of extremely peculiar waterfall hanging ice has been condensed on the surface, but below, there is still gurgling water.

In the midst of such a large number of days of mountain snow, this clear stream from the high cliff still did not freeze, which is obviously an extremely rare thing.

But it seems to make sense.

Because the stream came from a young man's great lake.

The two of them passed under the waterfall, and then passed through the red leaves covered with snow, and the red leaves fell all over the ground, and the snow in the forest was not much thinner, and occasionally a few leaves or broken branches were inserted in the snow.

There was a light in one of the courtyards of the Little White Sword Sect.

In the red and white, it looks quite warm.

There were also some whispering voices, but the two teenagers in the wind and snow couldn't hear them.

So the two of them waded through the river of snow and walked towards the courtyard.

"Division....."

Lu Xiaoer walked through the big flat of the Sword Sect and ran to the outside of the courtyard, and was about to shout Lu Xiao, but he saw the young uncle on the side shaking his head very strangely and making a silent gesture.

The little boy hurriedly shut up and looked at the young uncle puzzled.

The young uncle tiptoed forward a few steps, and then secretly opened the first-line courtyard door.

A warm light shone through the courtyard and shone on the boy's face.

The little boy didn't see anything because he was standing behind the young uncle, so when he saw the extremely strange expression on his uncle's face under the warm light, he only felt extremely puzzled.

What did Uncle Shi see?

The young man tiptoed over with his sword.

And then I was stunned there.

I don't know how deep the snow is in the courtyard.

There is a small stove under the eaves, and two figures are sitting cross-legged under the eaves, eating a small hot pot very happily.

Lu Xiaoer probably knew why Nandao's expression was so weird.

It is the most proud place in the world.

The old snow in the deep mountains is a furnace of spring.

It turned out that there was not only a spring in the small red building outside the canyon.

There are also here.

......

"Qingjiao should also go to eat hot pot with his junior brother."

Lu Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of fried tofu soaked in red oil from the pot, looked at Wu Dalong and asked while eating.

"I went, I specially asked her to help take the things over, otherwise they will have to worry about how to call her when the time comes." Wu Dalong laughed.

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, and poured water tofu into it, the white and tender tofu was cut into cubes, and fell into the pot with the boiling red soup floating up and down, very tempting, Lu Xiaoxiao swallowed saliva while watching.

"Do you say that Le Chaotian's vermicelli and cabbage hot pot is delicious, or is the red oil tofu hot pot delicious?"

"......." Wu Dalong refused to answer, just took a bite of the fried tofu that was bubbling with oil soup, and ate it in a big gulp.

Then he was hit on the head by Lu Xiaoxiao with chopsticks.

"Say it quickly."

"Tofu tofu." Wu Dalong smiled.

Of course, the tofu was made by Wu Dalong himself.

When I went to the bottom of the mountain to buy some soybeans and salt brine. As a thirty-five-year-old man who has carried the Tianya Sword Sect forward for so many years, he naturally knows how to make tofu, and when he used to do it, he would also make some to sell down the mountain.

The two lit the fire in the deep mountains and snowed at night, eating hot pot and gossiping.

It's just that I didn't mention Zhang Xiaoyu.

When Wu Dalong came, Lu Xiaoxiao sat alone in the courtyard, watching the wind and snow in a daze.

Although Lu Xiaoxiao has also missed Le Chaotian's hot pot for a long time, since Zhang Xiaoyu is here, she obviously won't go.

Wu Dalong didn't persuade her, just sat with her under the eaves for a while, and then asked her if you eat hot pot?

Land snacks.

So the old man went back to the Tianya Sword Sect, took a small hot pot, and brought some ingredients, and Lu Xiaoxiao ate the hot pot of the two in the Little White Sword Sect together.

This hot pot is far less lively than the one above the wind and snow, but it is quiet and has a quiet warmth.

The two of them ate slowly, but found that the courtyard door opened at some point.

Wu Dalong was still stretching his neck in the pot, and Lu Xiaoxiao kicked him.

"Did you not close the door?"

Wu Dalong turned his head to take a look, and found that the door was indeed open, scratched his head and thought about it, and said, "It's closed, it may be blown open by the wind, I'll close it." ”

As he spoke, the old man put down the chopsticks in his hand, wrapped his clothes, walked through the path in the courtyard, walked to the door and looked around, but did not see anyone.

It's just that there are some footprints in the wind and snow.

Wu Dalong looked down twice, didn't say anything, closed the door and walked back.

"What were you just looking at?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked while fishing the boiled water tofu from the pot while looking at Wu Dalong.

"It's nothing, there are two rabbits that just ran into the Sword Sect."

Wu Dalong laughed and sat down opposite the hot pot again.

Just after finishing speaking, he was knocked on the head by Lu Xiaoxiao again.

"Then why are you stunned, catch it and get it back to the hot pot!"

Wu Dalong rubbed his head and smiled, and said, "It's already gone, forget it." ”

"Then why didn't you want to think about it when you stole my rabbit and ate it before?"

“...... The heroes don't mention the courage of the year.... Oops, wrong, wrong, it's less and more young and ignorant, oops, oops. ”

......

The little boy and his young uncle hid under a certain osmanthus tree in the Little White Sword Sect.

Through the wind and snow, Wu Dalong's screams could be vaguely heard inside.

Lu Xiaoer was very puzzled and asked, "Uncle Shi, why do you say that Master likes to beat Uncle Wu so much?" ”

Nan Dao was silent for a while, and said, "Probably your Uncle Wu is more underwhelmed." ”

Lu Xiaoer: "......."

Naturally, the young boy didn't believe this kind of nonsense.

The two stayed under the wind and snow tree for a while, thought about it, and decided to go back to the small building.

So he stepped on the heavy snow all over the mountain and headed towards Luofeng Canyon.

The two teenagers ran down quietly in the middle of the night wind and snow, but like innocent dogs on the side of the road, they were inexplicably beaten with a stick, so they crossed the mountain road and returned to the canyon with a sad face.

It was only when they had just finished walking the mountain road and stopped on the snowy flat outside the canyon that the two of them knew that someone might be more sad - the cabin of the green pepper was finally crushed tonight, in the vast mountain snow, after several days of heavy snow.

From the 'box' type, it has changed to the 'benefit' type.

It's very lonely and lonely outside the snowy canyon.

The two teenagers stared wide-eyed.

The mountains are silent.

There was still a lot of laughter in the small building not far away.
