Chinese New Year's Eve, in the grass house of Jianmen Mountain, Shao Mingjian sat on a chair, Shao Mingliang sat on the kang, Lu Chuan put his hands around his knees in the kang, and the old and young sat like this. It's not that there is nothing to say, it's just that Lu Chuan is a little distracted, and he naturally stays stunned when he talks about it. Seeing that the sky is getting dark, and the New Year is coming, there is no way to do it, the second elder is anxious, but there is no way.

People's hearts are like the sea, they are always not satisfied, and it is the norm to have Longwang Shu, and how many people are there when it is enough? Yesterday I only hoped that Lu Chuan would not die, and today I hope he can be happy.

The snow outside was still drifting, and it had rained for a day and a night, and the entire Jianmen Mountain was white.

Lu Chuan suddenly frowned and said, "Grandpa, second grandpa, listen, is there someone going up the mountain outside?"

The second elder was stunned, not to mention, their minds were on Lu Chuan, and they really didn't pay attention to any movement outside, listening to Lu Chuan's words, they quickly listened to it, indeed, there was a subtle sound of people's wheezing in the wind. After hearing this, the second elder couldn't help but be taken aback, they never expected Lu Chuan's internal strength to reach such a skillful level. Where is this twenty-year-old young man, not much better than an ordinary sect master.

"Yes, there are people who do go up the mountain. ”

"Jianmen Mountain is inaccessible, how can anyone go up the mountain at this time? It doesn't sound like a friend of the two of you. ”

Shao Ming was happy, "Child, after your grandfather died, our brothers had no friends in this world, where can we have friends?"

Lu Chuan thought for a moment, "Grandpa, second grandfather, sit down for a while, I'll go out and have a look." ”

With that, he got up and got off the ground, pushed the door and walked out. The two saints of Shushan sat fine, but they were worried that Lu Chuan was not familiar with the geography on the mountain, and they were afraid that if something went wrong, they also went out.

But said Lu Chuan, when he came to the mountain road and looked down, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and he was stunned at that time.

I saw a woman panting up along the mountain road, wearing a peach-colored chiseled cotton jacket, lined with a plain long skirt, draped in a black satin mink tail, and carrying a civil and military lyre on her back. The person who came was not someone else, it was Li Mojun, who Lu Chuan hadn't seen for two years and missed all the time.

Li Mojun has no martial arts, it is very difficult to climb the mountain, and Jianmen Mountain is very steep, saying that there is a mountain road, that is, a reluctant foothold, and he will fall down if he is not careful. It was inconvenient for her to wear a long dress, so she had to pay more attention, so she didn't notice anyone watching her on the top of the mountain.

Crawling and crawling, I suddenly felt the black shadow in front of me, and I couldn't help but be taken aback, I didn't stand firmly, my body lost my balance, and I fell down the mountain.

But at this moment, a hand grabbed her wrist, and then she only felt that her body was light, and the wind was whistling in her ears, which frightened her and quickly closed her eyes.

After a while, I felt my feet touch the ground again, and then I opened my eyes carefully, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Chuan.

There was no expression on Lu Chuan's face, surprise or heat. But those eyes were full of warmth, seriousness, and blame.

"You...... Why are you here?"

Li Mojun smiled, "I heard that Mr. Lu played a child's temper and didn't go home for the New Year, so I had to go up the mountain." ”

When Lu Chuan heard this, his eyebrows rose at that time, "They asked you to come? They let you climb up from the bottom of the mountain alone!"

Li Mojun hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, they didn't ask me to come, I came myself." And originally the owner of the village said that he wanted to send me up the mountain, but I refused. ”

Lu Chuan was still angry, and reproached: "Your courage is too great! Do you know that as long as this Jianmen Mountain is stepped on the air, it will fall to pieces?"

Li Mojun shook Lu Chuan's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, don't blame me, I'm not good." ”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly and was speechless.

At this time, the second sage of Shushan came over, and Shao Erye smiled and said, "Xiaochuan, who is this female doll?"

She ...... She's my ...... She's ......" Lu Chuan blushed.

Seeing this, Li Mojun also blushed and lowered his head, and the second elder laughed, who hasn't come from a young place?

Lu Chuan said with some embarrassment: "Mo Jun, these two are my grandfather's confidants and friends before his death, and now that my grandfather is not here, they are my grandfather, hurry up and give gifts to the eldest grandfather and the second grandfather." ”

Li Mojun is fluttering and blessed, calling him grandfather, and he makes the two old men so happy that they can't even find the north.

Hurriedly let him into the house, Shao Mingliang began to prepare the meal, Shao Mingjian was cooking fish on the fire outside, he really took Li Mojun as his granddaughter-in-law. Lu Chuan wanted to help, but was driven back by the second elder.

At this time, the enthusiasm of the first meeting passed a little, and the second child was a little indelible, and they all lowered their heads, as if they were going to worship and get married.

After a long time, Li Mojun said: "In the past two years, you have become thinner than before. ”

Lu Chuan smiled slightly, "It's normal to be a little thinner." What about you? How have you been doing for the past two years?"

"After you leave, the owner of the four villages takes good care of the crescent moon nunnery, the annual firewood, the monthly noodles, I don't have to worry about anything, I read books and play the piano every day. ”

"And how did you get here?"

"A month ago, the lord of the village took me to the mountain and built a separate courtyard for me on the mountain. A few days ago, the lord of the big village and the lord of the second village went down the mountain and said that they were going to see you, so I followed. I was going to wait for you to surprise you on your birthday, but you know......"

Lu Chuan listened quietly and did not speak.

Li Mojun paused and said, "Yesterday, you just left the three village masters and came to me, and the second village master also regretted it. ”

Lu Chuan sneered, "They don't think they can speak, so they let you come?" Mojun, don't be used as a sword like this in the future." They beat and scolded, and when they came back, they wanted me to go back, how could it be, then I couldn't become a dog. Alas...... Don't talk about this, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, since you are here, stay with me for a few days, let's have a good New Year. ”

Li Mojun sighed, "It's good for us to celebrate the New Year together, but I'm afraid that you will regret it when the New Year is over." ”

"Regret? I won't do it if I regret it, and I won't regret it. ”

"You're saying that now, it's too late to regret it. Lu Lang, do you know where the three village masters are now?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. ”

"They're down the mountain, they've been down the mountain since I went up, and it's been almost an hour now. ”

Lu Chuan chuckled in his heart, but on the surface he was still calm, "...... What are you doing down the hill?"

"The three village owners felt that they didn't have the face to see you, and they didn't dare to come up the mountain, so they set up snow under the mountain and wanted to ask for your forgiveness. ”

Lu Chuan held his forehead with his hand and closed his eyes, and for a moment his mind was full of pictures of the Yuedi Inn and Leng Longling.

After a long time, he suddenly stood up, "Mojun, you sit down for a while, and I'll take a look." With that, a gust of wind left the grass hut and ran straight down the mountain.

The closer you look, the clearer you see, and you can see that there are indeed three people standing under the mountain, who else can it be if it is not Yang Mu, Ding Yu, and Qu Shili?

But after standing in the snow for more than an hour, the faces of the three men were frozen blue, their lips were chapped, and their hair, eyebrows, and clothes were covered with snow. Even so, standing there motionless, it was almost like a wood carved clay sculpture.

Lu Chuan ran to the front in one breath, knelt on the ground with a puff, hugged Yang Mu's legs tightly, and tears fell, "Big brother, what are you doing?"

Yang Mu smiled reluctantly, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother also gave a big order, leaving the city and leaving in a bad mood, he was wronged." When the elder brother does not take good care of the brother, he should be punished. ”

Ding Yu also said, "Sixth, don't be angry with the second brother, the second brother was confused for a while, and now his intestines are green with regret." You can beat and scold, and if you don't get angry, you can stab your brother twice, no matter what, my brother just begs you to go home. ”

"Sixth brother, the six of us brothers slammed their heads on the ground, but we can't just disperse. ”

looked at Lu Chuan again, he didn't say a word, he cried loudly, crying heartbreakingly, as if he wanted to cry all his grievances.

Yang Mu and the three of them also cried when they saw this scene, and then the four brothers hugged their heads and cried, and they cried so badly.

After crying for a long time, he lost his strength to cry, and then Lu Chuan gradually stopped his sad voice and said, "Three brothers, our brothers have nothing to say. Little brother, I just couldn't turn around for a while, which made the child lose his temper. But now, I can go back, and the three brothers have to give the brothers a full face. ”

Ding Erxia patted his chest, "I didn't say it, as long as the sixth brother can come back, even if you want the second brother to kowtow to you in front of the brothers to make amends." ”

Lu Chuan was happy, "Second brother, look at what you said, the younger brother is no longer a thing, and he can't make such a request." The younger brother is saying that the two saints of Shushan, the two old people are brought by me, and then the two old people left, and they were not happy when they left, and now I live in the house of the second elder, if the second elder does not agree, the younger brother can not go. So trouble the three elder brothers to go to the mountain in person, as long as the second elder nods, the clouds will disperse in one day. What do the three brothers think?"

Yang Mu nodded repeatedly, "That's why." The three of us are here today, one is to make amends to the sixth brother, and the other is to compensate the second elder, so let's go up the mountain? ”

How to discuss it here, but said that the two saints of Shushan, the two old men knew what was going on as soon as they saw Lu Chuan running down the mountain in a hurry. The second elder was very unhappy about this, and spoke in his heart, "Child, why are you so spineless? Just give a sweet date with a stick? Do you really treat yourself as a donkey? Are you still the grandson of Lao Lu?

Therefore, the two of them did not cook either, nor did they grill the fish, washed their hands, made a bowl of tea, and sat in the hall and waited. Look at what the three little rabbit cubs in Leng Longling say, but no matter what they say, they don't agree, and if they don't agree, they don't agree.

There wasn't much time, so I heard footsteps outside, and then Lu Chuan pushed the door and came in.

Shao Mingliang sank his face and asked with a phlegm, "Xiaochuan, what did you do?"

Lu Chuan smiled, "The child heard that there were guests at the foot of the mountain, so he went down to take a look." ”

Shao Mingliang pretended not to know, "Oh, there are guests, what guests?"

"Uh...... It's the three brothers you met yesterday, and they said that there was some rudeness yesterday, and they wanted to excuse your second elder in person......"

As soon as he said this, he saw the old swordsman Shao slap the table and shouted: "Don't say it! Who is your brother? Who are you? Who are you? Do you know their surname Shao?" Don't say what kind of village master of Lenglongling is, even if the emperor Xiao'er and the master of the martial arts alliance drive to me, I won't see it!

"Grandpa......"

Lu Chuan just wanted to go over and be coquettish, and as soon as his knees left the ground, he saw Shao Mingliang glaring at him, "Kneel! ”

Lu Chuan didn't dare to speak, but if he didn't speak, he secretly pulled Li Mojun's skirt with his hand, and motioned for Li Mojun to intercede.

How smart is Li Mojun, if it weren't for Lu Chuan's kung fu, it would be Lu Chuan, the second in the rivers and lakes. Suddenly realized, took two steps forward and bowed down, "Grandpa, second grandfather, you can spare Lu Chuan for the sake of Mojun." ”

In a word, the two saints of Shushan are happy, don't look at the two angry words they can say to Lu Chuan, they really can't be angry at all about this "future granddaughter-in-law", the two elders looked at each other and smiled, "Okay, for Mojun's sake, let's forgive this time." Get up. ”

Lu Chuan jumped up from the ground with a rub, "Thank you two grandfathers for your kindness." ”

"Hey! It's not for the two of us to be gracious, it's really for the sake of Mojun's daughter-in-law's face that I will spare you once. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Mojun blushed suddenly, lowered his head and couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Lu Chuan's face was also very unnatural, "Grandpa, why are you disrespectful to the old......"

"Little brute, what is the disrespect of the old? Isn't Mojun your daughter-in-law?"

The second master also scolded, "There are things with eyes and no beads, take waste as a baby, and you don't know the baby in front of you." How good is this kid Mojun, where are you looking for it with a lantern?"

"We ...... We haven't ...... yet."

"It's a shame that you're still a man in the rivers and lakes, how can you be as pedantic as Mr. Teach? What does it matter if you don't worship the church? ”

Speaking of which, we have to make it clear, why did the two old men rush to let Lu Chuan and Li Mojun determine the relationship between husband and wife? First of all, the two elders knew Li Mojun, and knew that Lu Chuan made a big fuss in Chaotianling and killed the swordsman with one sword, for the sake of Li Mojun, and Lu Chuan liked Li Mojun. Don't look at the second elder who has never met a lover in his life, has no wife and no children, and knows that the most important thing to get married is to like it. Secondly, the second elder thinks of himself as a grandfather, and he is indeed worried about what he should worry about as a grandfather, after Lu Chuan came out of the sword gate, the second elder has learned about Li Mojun's style and character from many aspects, yes, the reputation of the rivers and lakes of the Crescent Moon Nunnery is not very good, but Li Mojun is clean and self-conscious, walks properly, and is a good girl. Finally, and most importantly, the second elder found that Lu Chuan came this time to have something on his mind, saying that it was a matter of his heart, but in fact it was not only a matter of his mind, he always felt that Lu Chuan seemed to be walking on the road to death, as if he was ready to die, as if he was going to do something that he knew he could not do. The second elder was very worried about this, so he wanted to use Li Mojun to keep Lu Chuan's hope, as long as there were people or things that he couldn't let go, he would spare his life. This is the idea of the second elder.

But the old man said that Lu Chuan was in a hurry, don't look at him as if he seems to be debauched, in fact, he is the most polite, the most reasonable, there is no three media and six hires, there is no happy dress, how to worship the hall to get married?

If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Li Mojun, so Lu Chuan hurriedly made a gesture to Li Mojun and said, "Mrs. Xie intercedes for me." ”

Li Mojun's face turned even redder, but there was a smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Seeing this, the second elder stroked his palms and laughed, and the matter was over. Lu Chuan took advantage of the second elder's happiness and asked, "Grandpa, then ...... them?"

Shao Mingliang nodded slightly, "Let them come in." ”

Lu Chuan hurriedly went out to spread the word, and Yang Mu and the three of them would also come to the matter, kowtowing step by step from outside the door, and entering step by step, until they reached the knees of the second elder.

As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, what else is there to say?

At this point, half of the second elder's anger was gone, and Shao Mingliang asked, "Lord Yang Dazhai, I don't know what to do when you come to the cold house for no reason?"

Yang Muyan said, "The younger generation has no form, there were many rudeness and inconsiderate places yesterday, and I came here today to apologize for the ceremony, and I ask the two old people to be a lot, and forgive me." ”

Shao Mingliang shook his head, "No, the lord of Yang Zhai is not the slightest rude to our brothers, and we left yesterday not because of the poor manners of the lord of Yang Zhai or any of the brothers in Leng Longling, but the actions of the masters of the village, the old man is a little unaccustomed to it, that's all." ”

"Yes, the father is kind and the son is filial, the brother is respectful, the brother is not respectful, the sin is not in the brother, and the brother is not in the ear. It's my fault, Ding Yu shouldn't have hit Luchuan. ”

Shao Mingliang still shook his head, "No, the eldest brother is like a father, it is natural to be an elder brother's education brother, there is nothing wrong with it, Lord Yang Zhai should go back and think about it." ”

"The younger generation is dull, and he begs the old man for guidance. ”

Shao Mingliang closed his eyes and didn't speak.

Shao Mingjian couldn't bear it, and said: "Master Yang Dazhai, the old man asked you, what is Xiaochuan's surname?"

Yang Mu didn't understand what he meant, so he had to answer truthfully, "Xiaochuan's surname is Lu." ”

"Yes, his name is Lu Chuan, so which road is his road word?"

"The road of the road. ”

"No, it's a quiet road, a road that is far away. Lu Youyou is good at killing, the world only knows that he kills people like demons, named the name of the North Devil, but I don't know that although he kills a lot, he kills a traitor, and has never killed a good person in his life. Lu Xiuyuan is both civil and military, the world only knows that it is famous on the Qinhuai River, and the sword is folded in front of the Shaolin Temple, but he does not know that he understands the martial arts of various sects, and the knowledge of Boshi is rare, and he is not stingy, as long as someone asks for advice, he will know that everything is endless, and every time he finds a flaw in the martial arts, he will also write to the sect. Although Lu Chuan is young, his martial arts and status are far inferior to the elders in the family, but he has done things that no number of sect masters and martial arts masters and martial arts masters can not do with this person and one sword? How many wicked people have he killed? How many sects have he saved? The three generations of the Lu family can be said to have immortal achievements in the Central Plains martial arts, and others are not qualified to beat him. Do you understand?"

"The juniors understand. Second brother, do you understand?"

Ding Yu knelt beside Yang Mu, heard it clearly, and couldn't help lowering his head, "I understand." ”

Second Master Shao laughed, "It's good to understand." You children's affairs have to be handled by yourself, Xiaochuan is a sensible child, and he will ...... in the future Anyway, let him do some. ”

The three brothers responded in unison: "The younger generation must follow the teachings. ”

At this time, everyone felt that this matter should be over, but Shao Mingliang reopened his eyes and sneered: "Let it, just let it go?" Yang Mu, if you really have the heart to repent, the three of you brothers swear here that you will never hurt Lu Chuan at any time and on any occasion from now on." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ding Yu and Qu Shili knelt straight at that time, and they were very unhappy. In fact, it's not that they have the heart to hurt Lu Chuan, there is nothing in themselves about making this oath, what makes them dissatisfied is Shao Mingliang's attitude. The six village owners of Lenglongling are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and the pride of the sky. is capable, and naturally has pride from the inside out, regardless of whether it is exposed or not.

In the final analysis, they don't accept the two sages of Shushan, and they speak in their hearts, what's so great about the two sages of Shushan? I can afford to call you the two sages of Shushan, and you're welcome to say that they are two bad old men, a pair of old coffins. If it weren't for Lu Chuan's sake, if it weren't for the eldest brother Yang Mu's bitter persuasion when he was at the Jianmen Pass, would we be able to go to Jianmen Mountain to kowtow to you with our brother's identity?

I had the heart to stand up and turn my face on the spot with the second sage of Shushan, but the eldest brother didn't say anything and they didn't dare, so they all looked at Yang Mu.

I saw that Yang Mu's body was also slightly straightened, but he pointed to the sky, but he was going to swear by the Eight Classics, "The emperor is above, the earth is below, Shaolin disciple Yang Mu swears, from now on, at any time and on any occasion, if I Yang Mu do something to hurt my brother Lu Chuan, I will be called to add a sword, and I will not die well in danger." ”

Ding Yu and Qu Shi did not lose hope, but the eldest brother had already taken the lead, so they had to do it, and then they also swore an oath.

At this point, this turmoil was over, and a smile finally appeared on Shao Mingliang's face.

Yang Mu took advantage of the heat and hurriedly invited the second elder to Jianmen Pass for the New Year, but he didn't want Lu Chuan to smile and said: "Big brother, the two old men have already cooked the meal, I think it's better to eat it on the mountain." If it's early, let's go down the mountain, and if it's late, it's not too late to go down the mountain tomorrow morning, right?" The second elder also said, and Yang Mu had no choice but to agree.

The meal was not sumptuous, but it was very delicious, and there was a feeling of home inexplicably, everyone was very satisfied, and Lu Chuan even ate three bowls of Yangchun noodles before stopping. After that, the dishes and chopsticks are removed, and the soju cold dish is put on the table, and it is time to drink.

Yang Mu complained with a wine glass: "Sixth brother, originally I invited Miss Li to surprise you on your birthday, but you didn't know that your second brother spoiled a good thing, and the eldest brother has no more gifts, don't complain about the eldest brother." ”

Lu Chuan was happy, "Big brother, look at what you said, what kind of birthday do I have at such a young age." ”

"It's a normal birthday, but you still have to spend the whole year. ”

Lu Chuan blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Big brother, you remember wrong, I am a person born in the year of Gengxu, and by tomorrow in the year of Gengwu, it will be twenty-one, and it will be twenty-two after the fourth year of the first month." ”

"Huh, second brother, how do you calculate?"

Ding Yu scratched his head, "I obviously remember that the sixth brother was born in Xinhai, did I remember it wrong?"

Yang Mu gritted his teeth in anger, and the others laughed, and in the laughter, there was gradually no cold winter.
