At this time, Lu Manchen also finished practicing, ran over and said, "Dad, Uncle Wang, why are you here?"

Lu Qingshan said: "Your Uncle Wang came to our house to play, I took you Uncle Wang to see Xue Qing practicing martial arts, but I didn't expect you to practice swords." ”

Lu Manchen hurriedly said: "Tell you something, Dad, you don't know, just now I only practiced our family heirloom swordsmanship once, but I didn't expect this kid Xueluo to learn it after only watching it once." ”

Lu Qingshan pretended to be surprised and said, "Is the Snow Falling Boy so good?"

Lu Manchen complained: "Yes, my swordsmanship is much worse than him! Pointing to Wang Sihai and saying, "This is my Uncle Wang, known as a knife that breaks the four seas, Wang Sihai, my Uncle Wang is also very powerful?"

Xueluo looked at Wang Sihai and suddenly remembered the old man that night, and hurriedly smiled and saluted.."Uncle Wang, I've admired my name for a long time." ”

Wang Sihai smiled awkwardly.." Xue Luo Gongzi smiled. He winked at the snowfall as he spoke.

Snow falls and smiles knowingly.

Lu Qingshan looked at Xueluo and said, "Xueluo Gongzi is really a good talent, I learned my family's swordsmanship after watching it, I admire and admire." ”

Xueluo smiled.."Where is it, my uncle has won the award, it's just a little bit of fur, Brother Manchen is not bad, but the internal strength is a little weaker, if Brother Manchen practices his internal skills diligently, he will become an adult one day." ”

Lu Qingshan laughed.."Childe is really good at talking." ”

Lu Xueqing couldn't stand it anymore, and everyone praised Xueluo for making her very unhappy, and said: "Dad, it's almost noon, are we going to eat later?"

Lu Qingshan smiled: "It's time for lunch, the snow is falling and the dust is all tired, right, go wash your face first, and have lunch later?"

Xueluo nodded and followed Lu Manchen back to the courtyard. Lu Xueqing also went back to the room.

Watching the young man leave, Wang Sihai sighed: "Maybe this is fate, and it is unknown that his future road may be very exciting." ”

Lu Qingshan nodded with satisfaction.

In the wing, Lu Manchen said with a smile: "After dinner, let's go buy some firecrackers and put them back at night." ”

Xueluo wiped her face with a towel and nodded, "Okay, I haven't let it go yet! ”

Lu Manchen said: "I know a firecracker shop, and my family will go to that store at this time of year to ask for a lot, and the firecrackers in that store look more brilliant and beautiful." ”

Xueluo put down the towel.."My face is washed, have you changed your clothes?"

Lu Manchen said: "Okay, let's go, go to dinner." ”

There are still those people in the side hall, but there is one more Wang Sihai.

Xueluo smiled and nodded hello to everyone and sat down at the table. At this time, Lu Xueqing and the others were already eating, Lu Qingshan beckoned Xueluo to sit down and eat, and the people had already prepared the dishes and chopsticks.

Lu Qingshan said to Lu Manchen: "Manchen, you go to buy firecrackers and fireworks for a while, and come back and release them at night." ”

Lu Manchen nodded and said: "I'll fall with the snow in a while." “

Lu Qingshan laughed and said: Then you can go with Xueluo, and take Xueluo to go shopping by the way, just remember to come back on time for dinner. ”

Dad, we know it, you can rest assured.

Xueluo looked around at everyone, but saw that Lu Xueqing was also looking over, and hurriedly smiled and continued to bow his head to eat.

Lu Qingshan looked at Wang Sihai and said, "By the way, what about Li Xiong and the three brothers, why didn't they come with you?"

Wang Sihai said: "They had already gone to their relatives' house yesterday, saying that they were spending the New Year with their relatives. ”

Lu Qingshan nodded and didn't ask again.

Ouyang Hua looked at Xueluo and said with a smile, "Do you want to eat more?"

Xueluo hurriedly smiled and nodded.

This is how the lunch is eaten. Xueluo and Lu Manchen came out of the front yard, and they were about to go out,

Lu Xueqing ran out and shouted, "Brother, I'll go with me." ”

Lu Manchen and the two looked back at Lu Xueqing in surprise.

Lu Xueqing snorted, "What?

The two hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes." ”

It's just that both of them have a hello in their hearts! Lu Xueqing didn't all disgusted and unwilling to deal with Xue Luo? Why are they going out shopping together now?

The two were puzzled, and they agreed without asking too much. The three of them went to the street market in the west of the city to look left and right, and they didn't know what to buy!

I didn't stop until I got to a shop.

Lu Manchen said: "This is it, let's go in and have a look." ”

Jingsheng firecracker shop, the façade is very large, and the customers who buy firecrackers are endless.

Seeing a slightly blessed woman, Lu Manchen shouted: "Boss, what kind of firecrackers are there this year?"

The proprietress saw Lu Manchen and said, "It's Lu Gongzi, come and come, come and take a look with me, we have a lot of tricks this year." ”

Walking to a high shelf with all kinds of firecrackers of different sizes, the proprietress explained: "This year, we have launched these kinds of firecrackers, and they look like flowers in full bloom when they are released. ”

Lu Manchen was surprised: "There are new tricks? He picked up a firecracker as thin as his fingers and said, "This kind of one costs one or two hundred." As he spoke, he looked at Lu Xueqing and smiled, "Sister, which one do you like?"

Lu Xueqing looked at the surrounding firecrackers and said, "You can pick it out." ”

Lu Manchen looked at the snow again.

Xueluo smiled and said, "I don't understand, you can just get an idea." ”

"Well, then I'll pick them all, well, a hundred of each of these things. Lu Manchen almost lit the firecrackers in the store.

The proprietress was smiling, and most people only wanted a few tubes, but it was really rare to ask for so many like Lu Manchen.

The firecrackers Lu Manchen bought were piled up with five horse-drawn carts.

Xueluo's eyes straightened: "How long will it take to put this out! Rich people are different!"

Lu Manchen smiled and pulled the snow and said, "Come on, come on?"

Xueluo said: "What are you doing?"

Lu Manchen glared and said, "Of course it's paid, is it difficult for me to pay?"

Xueluo looked at Lu Manchen with a black line on his face and said, "Aren't you? Feelings, you just wanted me to pay for it from the beginning? ”

Lu Xueqing couldn't help but smile when she looked at it, that smile was like a lot of delicate peony flowers.

Xueluo's eyes couldn't help but light up. But when Lu Xueqing glared, Xueluo immediately looked at the proprietress seriously and said, "How much is it?"

The proprietress smiled and said, "It's a total of 18,300 taels, and our store will give you a discount and charge 18,000 for the son." ”

Xueluo couldn't help but take out the silver ticket and pay the silver to the proprietress with emotion, and glared at Lu Manchen fiercely.

Lu Manchen pretended not to see it, and pulled Lu Xueqing with a smile to buy other things.

The snow fell and had to keep up,

The firecrackers asked the proprietress of Jingsheng Store to send someone to the Moon Lake Villa.

"Brother, I like this hairpin, I'm going to buy it. Lu Xueqing held a white hosta in front of a stall and tried it on.

Lu Manchen nodded and said, "It's very good-looking, so buy it." Then he asked, "How much does the boss cost?"

The stall owner smiled: "Five taels of silver, this hosta is the best in my stall." ”

Lu Manchen nodded and said, "It's fair." He shouted to Xueluo again: "Brother Xueluo, where do you pay? I don't have a penny on me, oh hehe..." ”

When the snow falls, you have to pay the bill.

Who wants Lu Xueqing to say: "I don't want him to pay, since you don't have money, brother, then I don't want it." After speaking, he put down the hosta and walked away.

I don't know what to say when the snow falls on my forehead!

Lu Manchen shook his head and said helplessly: "My sister still hates you so much!"

The snow is also helpless!

Lu Manchen chased after him, as if to comfort Lu Xueqing.

Xueluo picked up the hosta and said, "I bought it." ”

The three of them continued to stroll, and saw that there were three people singing in front of them, and they also watched with great interest the folk drama of Guan Yu passing five levels and killing six generals, the early years of Tianshun in the Ming Dynasty, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Hangzhou was prosperous and tight, and it was not until dusk that the three returned to the Moon Lake Villa.

Tonight Moon Lake Villa was very lively, and after the snow had fallen, after they had dinner, as soon as it was dark, they let the people move the fireworks to an open space in front of the front hall. Lu Qingshan and his wife, Wang Sihai and others all gathered, each holding a lit incense stick and preparing to set off firecrackers.

Even the servants have a share. After all, Lu Manchen asked for five big cars. If it's just a few people, it won't be finished in one night.

Xueluo also held a stick of incense, and after Lu Qingshan spoke, they each lit one or two blaster fuses in front of them.

Bang bang......

The firecrackers in the courtyard shot into the sky, as if a meteor shower exploded, the colorful is very beautiful, and the firecrackers and fireworks of the Moon Lake Villa suddenly became the landscape of the west of the city, and the colorful colors reflected half of the sky.

But Lu Xueqing looked at the fireworks, but there was a rare smile on her face, like a little girl.

Xueluo looked at the sky, stunned, this is the first time in his life to set off firecrackers, and it is also the first time that someone has accompanied him to be happy, and he has spent a year lively.

The fireworks reflected the eyes of the falling snow, and the eyes twinkled like stars in the sky. Xueluo was very happy, very happy, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up to reveal a happy smile.

Tubes and tubes were put for more than an hour, and the big firecrackers were finished, and it was the turn of the fireworks that the fine roots played with in their hands. "It would be nice if every year could be like this!" Xue Luo thought to herself.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the weather seemed to know that spring was coming. Xueluo got up early, and posed in all kinds of strange postures in the martial arts training ground of the West Courtyard, sometimes like a tiger, sometimes like a bear, and occasionally jumping, moving slowly and quickly, but he was practicing a unique fitness technique.

After practicing for a while, the snow fell on his body, as if he was shrouded in a faint white mist. At this time, the owner of the village, Lu Qingshan, wearing a yellow robe, also came to the martial arts training ground. Seeing Xueluo, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Xueluo little brother so early?"

When Xue Luo saw that it was Lu Qingshan, he stopped his movements and saluted with a smile: "Uncle, you are also early?"

Lu Qingshan said with a smile: "I'm old! I have to get up in the morning and walk around for activities, or little brother, you are diligent, look at that kid in the dust! Eighty percent hasn't woken up yet!"

Xueluo said with a smile: "What's the matter, I'm just used to getting up early and have nothing to do, so I came to exercise for a while." ”

Lu Qingshan looked at Xue Luo and said, "You're still living in the inn, right?" Why don't you move to our house, you and Manchen happen to have a companion?"

Xueluo scratched her hair and smiled.."Then how embarrassing is it, hehe." ”

Lu Qingshan pretended to be unhappy and said, "What's so embarrassing? Qing'er told me that Manchen had defrauded you of nearly 20,000 taels of firecracker money yesterday, right?

"That's nothing" Xueluo smiled: "Then I might as well be respectful, and thank my uncle first." ”

Lu Qingshan shook his hand and smiled: "Thank you, you can treat this place as your own home in the future, and come back whenever you want." ”

Xueluo couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, how good it would be if this was the case. Well, Xueluo nodded and responded.

Lu Qingshan looked at the martial arts training ground and said with a smile: "I'm old! Watching you practice, I feel a little overwhelmed!"

Xue Luo said: "Uncle said it was funny, I think my uncle's swordsmanship should be in the top few positions in the martial arts, not to mention that my uncle's physique is still better than that of his prime." ”

Lu Qingshan laughed and said, "You praised your uncle, how can it be as good as you say!"

Then he looked at Xueluo and said: "Xueluo, if, I said if, the martial arts suddenly ushered in a catastrophe, would you help the martial arts people?"

Xueluo was silent! When asked this question, he didn't know how to answer, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not a righteous knight, I just sometimes watch others being bullied or something, maybe I only occasionally take action! Uncle, this question is really a little difficult to answer!"

Lu Qingshan said in a loud voice: "Why?"

Xueluo smiled bitterly: "Because it doesn't matter who the martial arts are, the important thing is whether it is based on martial arts orthodoxy, if you just blindly conquer by force, then it can only be done by the evil faction." If others blindly slaughter when they attack the Central Plains Martial Arts, then I will help the Martial Arts. ”

Lu Qingshan looked at Xueluo and smiled: "With your words, then I will be relieved." ”

Lu Qingshan left the martial arts training ground.

Snow fell and a person stood quietly in the field. At this time, a white figure came to Xue Luo, who came back to his senses, and looked at Lu Xueqing, who had a cold face, walking with a long sword, and Xue Luo realized that he had just lost his mind.

smiled at Lu Xueqing and said, "Miss Lu is early?"

Lu Xueqing said lightly: "It's not as early as you, I'm going to practice swords, you go, I don't like to be watched by others." ”

Xueluo looked at Lu Xueqing's expression of rejection thousands of miles away, and she felt a little unspeakably bitter in her heart.

Xueluo said helplessly: "I don't know why the girl is so disgusted with me! I have always lowered my posture! Why should the girl refuse to be thousands of miles away?"

Lu Xueqing squinted her eyes indifferently and said, "I just don't like to say a word to some womanizers who are looking for flowers and willows." ”

Xueluo smiled bitterly: "I see! Actually, girl, you misunderstood, things are not as your brother said that day." ”

Lu Xueqing said in disgust: "You don't need to explain anything to me, and I'm not interested in knowing." ”

"Alright then, I'll go first, don't disturb the girl. Xueluo shook her head helplessly and left.

Xue Luo returned to the wing room and wiped his face, stood in front of the window and looked at the plum blossoms blooming in the courtyard in front of him, quietly thinking about the topic of Lu Qingshan, if the martial arts are really turbulent, how should I choose to deal with it?

I didn't want to be involved in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, I just wanted to wander the world and do what I should do and what I wanted to do! But I came here again and met my first friend (Lu Manchen) What if Lu Manchen was also involved in the dispute one day? How should I deal with myself!

Xueluo thought about it for a long time and still didn't know how to deal with this problem.

Bang bang bang....

There was a knock on the door, and Lu Manchen shouted outside the door: "The snow has fallen, have you gotten up? Have breakfast." ”

Xueluo shook her head and didn't think about anything else for the time being, and took one step at a time. hurriedly responded: "It's coming, it's coming." ”

.........

Xueluo moved the black donkey and Xing Li to the Moon Lake Villa and lived. Had a lively New Year. The spring flowers are blooming, and the earth is shrouded in a vast white mist, which adds a veil of mystery to the spring scenery, and the birds are chirping and singing in the branches.

The scenery of West Lake is even more charming, and tender teeth sprout on the willow branches by the lake. The peach trees are also full of pink flowers. Xueluo and Lu Manchen, brother and sister, rowed a boat along the lake and played slowly, enjoying the spring at this moment.

The cold frost on Lu Xueqing's face thawed a lot, and sometimes her eyebrows showed a smile.

Lu Manchen said with a smile while rowing: "My sister likes to come to the West Lake to row and play in the spring." ”

Xueluo looked at Lu Xueqing, who was on the bow of the boat, and nodded: "Actually, I also like spring, I like the scenery of white mist, especially when the mountain peaks are strange, and the hazy place under my feet seems to be in the clouds." ”

Lu Xueqing turned around and said: "Your liking is different from my liking, what you like is the ethereal feeling of stepping on the clouds, what I like is the warm spring in the world, everything is full of vitality and joy, poetry, picturesque..."

Xueluo looked at Lu Xueqing in surprise, this was the first time Lu Xueqing had spoken to Xueluo, and she didn't show her original disgust and coldness.

Lu Manchen smiled and said: "Why don't I feel this way! I've been like this since I was a child, if it weren't for my sister, you always let me take you out to play, I wouldn't have any feelings about this place! I still like lively places." ”

Lu Xueqing looked back and glared, "Isn't it as lively as in Wanhualou?"

Lu Manchen nodded intoxicated and said, "Yes, yes." Then he came to his senses, and immediately shook his head and denied it like a wave drum: "No, no, how can I go to that kind of place, sister, your mind is too impure!"

Xue Luo looked into the distance without a face.

Lu Xueqing glared at the two fiercely and said, "Shameless." ”

Xueluo blushed and smiled and couldn't speak! What does this have to do with me! I really sit at home, and I also suffer!

Xueluo glared at Lu Manchen and whispered: "Which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, what dirty things are you thinking about in your head!"

Hey... Lu Manchen smiled tremblingly: "Didn't I say it as soon as I slipped my mouth! I didn't mean to make my sister angry!"

The three of them played until noon before turning home. But I saw some fresh faces in twos and threes, and entered the Moon Lake Villa.

The trio couldn't help but be surprised. followed in, but there were more than a dozen people sitting on both sides of the main hall at this time, shouting and discussing something.

There are Taoist priests, monks, and some are dressed up in the rivers and lakes, and the three of them also entered the hall and stood next to them to listen.

I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest: "What do you say we should do?"

Someone immediately replied: "What can I do, fuck, I don't believe how strong these bastard cults are." ”

And then again the respective opinions. Lu Qingshan, who was on the throne, waved his hand and said quietly: "Some time ago, there were a lot of faces in the martial arts, and there were also many bloody cases in a row, and Zhang Shishi, the elder of the Qingcheng faction, was also killed. ”
