Chapter 1 The remnant sun is like blood, and there is no way back in the wind and snow (1)
The snow for three days and three nights has given the bustling Luoyang City a temporary rest!
There were few pedestrians on the road, even if there were three or two people, they were all in a hurry, and the rest of the people, either unclothed beggars or homeless vagabonds, staggered and walked alone in the heavy snow!
Perhaps, in this cold midwinter, only by constantly moving around and begging can we slightly reduce the cold on our bodies and survive in this cold season, right?
Although the wealthy merchants in Luoyang are rich in the world, in this turbulent era, there are a few people who are willing to show some sympathy for this group of wanderers, that is, the first family in Luoyang, the Liujia of Luliu Villa, has only opened a few porridge fields for them to cool off and keep warm.
At this time, Liu Suifeng, the head of the Liu family who was over sixty years old, was sitting in front of the hall, looking at the sky in a daze.
The remnant sun was like blood, and it actually dyed half of the sky red.
The heavy snow did not stop until the evening, and the housekeeper Fu Bo saw that the heavy snow had stopped suddenly, and hurriedly sent someone to clean the snow in the courtyard corridor in order to welcome the arrival of the second lady, Liu Hanyan.
Speaking of these two young ladies, there is really a past, it seems to be related to her marriage, it is said that the second miss of the Liu family fell in love with a scholar ten years ago, and the scholar was also devoted to her, but Liu Suifeng didn't know why?
In the end, Liu Suifeng Qiangang was arbitrary, and married his favorite daughter to Su Yifei, the eldest son of the Suzhou Su family, who was also a martial arts family.
A few days ago, the weather was fine, but unexpectedly, Liu Suifeng had a whim, and wanted to see his grandson who had not yet met, so he sent people to fly pigeons to pass the book, and asked Liu Hanyan to bring Su Chen to Luoyang to live for a few days.
Fu Bo has followed Liu Suifeng for many years and knows his temperament, at this moment, seeing him standing in front of the room, a smile appeared on his slightly old face, and said with concern: "Master, presumably the second lady is almost here at this moment, it is cold outside, you better go back to the house to rest and rest, right?"
Seeing that Fu Bo cared so much about himself, Liu Suifeng smiled knowingly, and said lightly: "As soon as it turns cold this day, the injuries on my body will ache faintly, and it seems that I can't accept old age." ”
Fu Bo understood that Liu had been wandering the rivers and lakes with the wind for many years, and there were countless injuries on his body, and he had a faint pain when it came to a cloudy day.
"Now that the old man is the master of the martial arts alliance, it is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can you say that you are old, in the eyes of the old slave, you can be young!"
"Just you'll say!" Liu Suifeng's slightly old face smiled even more, and he coughed lightly and said, "Fu Bo! I have left several children in your care in the past few years, and you are tired enough, I don't know if the injuries on your body have recurred." ”
Fu Bo smiled, walked behind Liu Suifeng, helped him beat his back, and said with relief: "A few sons are outstanding, how can the old slave take care of them, I am just helping the foil next to me." ”
"As for the injuries on the body, it makes the old man worried, the old slave was chased and killed by the enemy and was seriously injured, if it weren't for the old man who spent his true qi to heal my wounds, I'm afraid there would be no old slave, and the injury has already healed, but the master, you should listen to the nameless advice of the divine doctor, and more cultivation is the key. ”
Liu Suifeng sighed softly, his smile gradually retracted, and said helplessly: "You and I have known each other for many years, you know my temper, not to mention that the surface of the rivers and lakes is calm now, but who can predict what will happen in the future?
Fu Bo sighed softly, the old man's face showed a touch of melancholy, and the strength of his back beating his back slowed down, and after a while, Fu Bo asked softly: "If you let the two sons help the master, won't the burden of the master be lighter?"
Hearing the two sons, Liu Suifeng gradually smiled on his face, and said appreciatively: "If you talk about martial arts cultivation, the two of them can be regarded as masters, but they don't have a concept of what this rivers and lakes are, I'm afraid they can't take it!"
Liu Suifeng stopped speaking, glanced at the sky slightly, and a gloomy memory flashed in his eyes, and he sighed and said: "Feng'er is talented and intelligent, but it is a reckless good thing, as for Qing'er, don't you know him?
Fu Bo listened to Liu Suifeng's words, and after thinking about it, the old man's evaluation of the two of them was also pertinent, sighed slightly, and said: "If it weren't for the second son's deep affection, it would not be impossible to be among the top ten masters now, but it's a pity!"
"Don't talk about this, now I'm worried about nothing but smoke, I don't know if she forgave me if she was willing to come back this time!"
"Ahem, cough, cough!" As soon as Fu Bo heard the old man mention the second miss, he immediately coughed lightly twice, and said comfortingly, "It's been ten years, since the young lady is back, she has forgiven the master, not to mention that there is still a little boy, it shouldn't be embarrassing to the master." ”
"Hehehe!" Liu Suifeng's old face showed a wry smile, glanced at Fu Bo, who had followed him for many years, shook his head slightly, and then looked outside the house, and said to himself: "Why hasn't it arrived yet!"
Seeing that he was a little anxious, Fu Bo hurriedly persuaded and said: "The master will go back to the hall first and wait, the old slave outside will take care of it, the second lady may be delayed on the road, and it will probably take long to arrive." ”
Liu Suifeng waved his hand and signaled that he was waiting here, Fu Bo had no choice but to continue: "Master and relieved, at this time, the eldest prince should be connected to the second lady, and there is a second son behind to respond. ”
Glancing at Fu Bo, who had followed him for many years, a trace of remembrance flashed across Liu Suifeng's face.
Outside Luoyang City!
It snowed heavily for three days and three nights, and the whole world was covered with white, the cold wind blew, the silver light flashed, and the surrounding scenery was suddenly immersed in a silver-white world.
In this world, there is such a bend of the remnant sun, red as blood, reflected in the snow, on the stump, there is more desolation and gloom of winter, as if the snow also seems to have emotions.
In the middle of winter, everything withered, the trees were wrapped in thick cotton clothes, and some dry branches could not support the heavy snow, and they broke with a bang!
The ups and downs of the cold wind accelerated the speed of the broken branches, and the crackling sound of broken branches was heard from time to time in the forest, just like the melody of winter, fast and urgent!
Several birds foraging in the snow were startled by the crackling sound, and they all screamed and flew into the void, and then, hovering left and right in the void, very reluctant, to be sure that it was not a false alarm, then rushed down again, and continued to forage for food!
A straight official road, across the jungle, directly connected to the vast mountains outside Luoyang City, on the official road, a luxury carriage galloped smoothly, a pair of wind chimes hung on both sides of the car, as soon as the wind blows, it rings a pleasant bell.
The carriage was covered with veils, and the left and right windows were sealed with thick cotton silk, and although it was a bitter cold time in the middle of winter, the inside of the carriage was warm.
Behind the carriage, followed by four men in black riding tall horses, they hung scimitars at their waists, looked around from time to time, and were alert to all suspicious things around them.
The carriage galloped steadily, and in the carriage, a young woman wearing a wide mink cape looked lovingly at the sleeping boy.
This woman is Liu Hanyan from Suzhou, I saw her pretty eyebrows and starry eyes, her skin was as fair as clotted fat, and her long hair was casually draped down her waist, which looked outstanding and beautiful.
At this time, Liu Hanyan's eyes were a little gentle, staring straight at the sleeping boy beside him.
Maybe he had been sleeping for a long time, maybe it was because the carriage was jolting! The boy opened his sleepy eyes slowly!
The eyes were as caring as before, and the boy showed a sweet smile on his cheeks, and called out crisply: "Mother!"
Liu Hanyan saw his son wake up, his face was full of concern, and he asked softly: "Chen'er has slept for a long time, are you hungry now, do you want to eat some pastries made by your mother!"
"Hmm!" the boy's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a pastry to eat, and he nodded heavily.
Liu Hanyan touched his round head dotingly, then reached out from the mink cloak, unwrapped the package around him, took out some delicate pastries, and handed them to the boy.
Xu is really hungry, as soon as the boy saw the pastry, he took it, gobbled it up, the woman looked at the little lovely person beside her gently, her face was even more pity, and said softly: "There are many pastries, eat slowly, eat slowly." ”
"Thank you, mother, it's still delicious pastries made by mother!" The boy ate heartlessly, suddenly looked up, and asked, "Mother, why doesn't Daddy go to Grandpa's house with us?" I heard that Luoyang is fun!"
The woman's expression froze, a touch of melancholy flashed across her face, and she sighed and said, "Your father is busy, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”
The boy didn't notice the melancholy on the woman's face, nor could he hear her unpleasantness, he still gobbled up the pastry, and said in a slurred voice: "I know, I know, it's delicious!"
