On the way here, Mu Xun not only imagined the scene in the "Ten Thousand Books Tower", but also imagined Lin Zongbian's appearance countless times, and at this time, the real person was close in front of him, but he felt a little disappointed again.

At this time, Lin Zong's beard in front of him was white, his face was deeply sunken, his eyes were deep, and his eyes were deep, faintly revealing the color of vicissitudes; although his body was not described as thin and rugged, he was indeed thin and thin, and he was wearing a wide and old gray and white clothes, which gave people an inexplicable sense of disappearance at a glance.

And such an image is really very different from the majestic and upright Lin Zongbian that Mu Xun imagined.

But the thought of disappointment was fleeting in his heart, for he suddenly made another discovery, and exclaimed, "Ah! How could he be so similar to you!" After speaking, he suddenly remembered that when his father first saw Xu Che that day, he was also so amazed that day, and he was also narrow-minded about it at that time, but now that he saw Lin Zongbian, his heart suddenly became clear, and he said secretly: "No wonder my father treats Xu Che with blue eyes, so it is!"

Lin Zongyan showed a surprised look in his eyes, obviously a little confused by Mu Xun's words, so he asked, "What is the similarity?"

Mu Xun regained his senses and replied, "That person's name is Xu Che, and his appearance is very similar to you. He glanced up and down again at Lin Zongbian, and added, "Oh, the body shape is also very similar." ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Zongyan's pale face suddenly gave birth to a tide, he seemed to be very excited, and he seemed to be very happy, his figure appeared in front of Xu Che in a flash, and then his hands came out, grabbed Mu Xun's shoulders tightly, and asked urgently: "How old is that person? Where is it now? Do you know who his parents are?"

Mu Xun was surprised when he saw him so excited, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded: "Xu Che's age is about the same as me, but if you want to talk about his life experience, it will be very miserable." He was born in a family of eunuchs, but he was pitiful that his mother died in childbirth when he gave birth to him, but this is not the end, his experience can be said to be a disaster, only half a year later, his father was demoted to Kunming, so the father and son settled down in the city of Kunming. As for where he is now—" As he said this, the scene in the cave that day instantly resurfaced in front of him, and his heart instantly became sour, and it was difficult to tell any more.

Lin Zongyan hurriedly asked, "Where is he?" As he spoke, he grabbed Mu Xun's hands and unconsciously used his strength.

Mu Xun's shoulder hurt, and the whole person suddenly trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "He... He's dead!"

Lin Zongyan's eyes widened, and there was a faint fierce light, and he asked, "How did you die?"

Mu Xun struggled with the pain coming from his shoulder, but he didn't dare to resist the true qi, so he had to grin and beg: "Ah! Uncle, you... Push it lightly..."

As if he had been woken up, Lin Zongbian immediately let go of his hands, then turned around again and said, "Go over and sit down." ”

Mu Xun crossed his hands and rubbed the sore parts of his shoulders, followed Lin Zongbian to the table and sat down.

Lin Zongbian grinned when he saw him in pain, but he was unapologetic, and just asked: "If you tell me the details of Xu Che's person, I am very interested in him." ”

Mu Xun secretly wondered in his heart: "Doesn't he just look like you?

However, although he was muttering in his heart, he didn't dare to show the color on his face, and then he told Lin Zongbian in detail everything he knew about Xu Che's life and everything that happened when he and Xu Che were together.

Lin Zongbian listened quietly, slowly closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, and after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes again and muttered to himself: "No, it's not right at all..."

Mu Xun was curious to ask, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Lin Zongbian ask, "What happened to your father?"

Mu Xun thought secretly, finally got to the point, and hurriedly responded: "My father was trapped in Pingguan Town, Guizhou, although his life is worry-free, but he can't find his people, I went north to here, just to ask you to help find my father." ”

Lin Zongqi said: "Guizhou, what is he doing there, how do you know that he is not worrying about his life?"

Mu Xun smiled bitterly: "You don't know the ins and outs of this matter, and it's really not conducive to making judgments, but this matter is a long story, and you have to sit for a while." ”

Lin Zongbian bowed his head lightly, and said with a straight face: "Your father is my eldest brother, and his affairs are all big things for me." I have searched for your father and son for many years, but I have never found them, so that I often sigh to myself, lest I will never see you again in this life. Fortunately, I saw you today, and finally gave me some comfort, and you told me everything, including how you have lived over the years, and what experiences you have encountered, and don't leave anything behind. ”

In fact, on the way here, Mu Xun has always been uneasy, although he knows that his father and Lin Zongbian had an extraordinary friendship in the past, but he doesn't know how deep and thick this relationship is, not to mention that the two have not been in touch for nearly 20 years, and it is not known whether the relationship is as before.

But after hearing Lin Zongbian's sincere words at this time, the doubts and apprehensions in his heart disappeared instantly, and at the same time, he suddenly felt close to this uncle he met for the first time, and immediately nodded again and again, and said busily: "Thank you uncle, as long as you are willing to listen, I will talk carefully." ”

But just then, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and then the door was opened. I saw Zhang He walk in with a tray, and then went straight to the table, and moved all the dishes and chopsticks on the plate to the table.

Mu Xun looked at the five dishes that were still steaming, and suddenly his tongue was full of joy, and his stomach made a sound of "grunt, grunt".

After Zhang He finished putting the dishes, he didn't say a word, picked up the tray and went out, looking at this skillful appearance, it was obvious that it was necessary to make several trips back and forth every day.

Facing the dishes on the table, Lin Zongbian didn't move the dishes and chopsticks, but just reached out and picked up the white porcelain wine bottle and asked, "Can I drink?"

Mu Xun has always been good at drinking, and his mind is relaxed at the moment, so he smiled and said: "Such a small bottle, I'm afraid that I won't be able to drink it." ”。

Lin Zongbian broke the stopper, poured two glasses of wine, handed one cup in front of Mu Xun first, and said, "Just to be happy, not to be happy." Come, have a drink first. ”

Mu Xun hurriedly raised his glass to meet him, and then drank it all in one gulp. The sweet wine entered his throat, gentle and smooth, but after a few flicks of his fingers, he felt that the clear incense gradually rose in his mouth, and he said happily in his heart: "This kind of peerless wine, no wonder it can't be enjoyed, it really has to be tasted slowly." Just thinking about it, a thought suddenly arose in his heart, and he suddenly scolded himself: "Mu Xun, Mu Xun, my father's safety is unknown, but you are greedy for appetite here, but you are really heartless!"
