Time is like an arrow, time passes, and time flies by like a white cloud and a dog.

When Lin Fenghua was three years old, he used internal force to shatter Lin Yan's bones one by one, and then used bone crushing to supplement as the core medicinal material, supplemented with various medicines, boiled into a medicinal pulp, and let the bones recover again, so as to achieve the best flexibility of Lin Yan's body.

During that time, for almost a year, Lin Yan spent it crying. At the beginning, Lin Aotian would persuade a few words, but Lin Fenghua didn't listen at all, and later every time Lin Fenghua made a move, listening to his son's cry, Lin Aotian's heart was like a knife. In fact, as the child's grandfather, Lin Fenghua was also very unbearable in his heart, but he knew that the heavens would descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones, and the hardships of his youth were for better growth in the future. Lin Fenghua is a very decisive person, since he has already decided, he will definitely not show mercy when he makes a move.

Therefore, Lin Yan has been very afraid of his grandfather since he became sensible, and he boxed with his grandfather every day, although he was very tired, he did not dare to be lazy at all. Every time the Lin family's family saw Lin Yan, the gaze in their eyes was either sympathy or fear. Sympathy is because Lin Yan was born without a mother, what I am afraid of is that when Lin Yan was young, except for Lin Aotian and Lin Fenghua, all those who hugged Lin Yan would be infected with a vicious disease, and gradually there was a saying among the family slaves, saying that Lin Yan's life was very dangerous, and the people around him were in danger. All the servants would deliberately stay away from Lin Yan.

Time flies, today is Lin Yan's eighth birthday, this morning Lin Yan followed his grandfather to practice boxing, Lin Yan quickly ran to his nurse's room, because his nurse promised him that on the day of his birthday, he would give him a mysterious gift.

Lin Yan's nurse was personally found by Lin Aotian, because of Lin Yan's change in personality, ordinary people who were close to him would inevitably suffer many disasters.

Lin Yan's mother died early, and the child had not yet been weaned after the full moon, so it was difficult for ordinary domestic slaves to get so close to Lin Yan. After some calculations, Lin Aotian found a little girl who was rescued by a bandit when Lin Fenghua was roaming the rivers and lakes in the early years.

The little girl's village was swept away by bandits, and her family was not spared. After she was rescued by Lin Fenghua, she wanted to repay Lin Fenghua for saving her life, but at that time, Lin Fenghua was traveling around the mainland, so he gave her a sum of money and let her live on her own.

This little girl is very smart, and the tragic experience since she was a child has made her much more mature than her peers, and she lives well alone in troubled times. Lin Aotian deduced that her life grid was also an extremely tenacious life, and theoretically she would not be afraid of Lin Yan's life.

After many calculations, Lin Aotian calculated the approximate location where she is now, walked to a place to occupy a hexagram, and soon found her. The little girl now runs an inn by herself, Lin Aotian came to the door, identified her identity, hoped that she could be the child's nurse, and also told her that there might be danger, and roughly explained the reason to her.

"This life of mine was given by Uncle Feng Hua, and I, Huang Boying, am actually greedy for life and afraid of death, since Uncle Feng Hua has a place where I can help, I am naturally obliged. After that, he simply packed his luggage, took the necessary things, found a wealthy merchant and sold the inn he ran at a low price, and followed Lin Aotian back to Bashu Lin's house.

Lin Yan has no childhood since he was a child, since he can remember, his main task every day is to practice boxing with his grandfather, and his grandfather's strictness has left indelible traces in his heart, so he doesn't dare to be lazy and slippery when he practices boxing. The fun of his childhood, just when he was resting in the room, the nurse would tell him some of her experiences in the rivers and lakes from time to time, Huang Boying had been wandering on the rivers and lakes alone for so many years, and she had her own unique views on the hot and cold world, she regarded Lin Yan as her own child, and she was afraid that Lin Yan would be frustrated when he broke into the rivers and lakes in the future, and would always tell Lin Yan some of her experiences.

"Aunt Ying, I'm back, I'm still practicing those things today, I think I'm completely proficient, but grandpa said that my boxing still has a big loophole, and I have to continue to practice, it's so boring. What are you going to give me as a gift?" Lin Yan shouted at Huang Boying's house as he ran.

Huang Boying was reading a book in the house, when she heard the voice, she smiled slightly, stood up and opened the door, and saw Xiao Lin Yan rushing straight to her house. Huang Boying smiled and hurriedly said, "Slow down, don't fall." ”

Lin Yan entered the house and said with excitement on his face: "Aunt Huang, what kind of gift do you want to give me?" ”

Huang Boying knocked Lin Yan's head and said with a smile: "Look at your urgency, I have already prepared." Say, pick up a box from the table, hand it to Lin Yan, and say, "Open it and take a look." ”

Lin Yan took the box and looked at it carefully, the delicate rosewood box still exuded a faint fragrance. After Lin Yan got the box, his impatient mood gradually calmed down, he slowly opened the lid and found that there was a branch inside, and the aroma was emitted by this branch.

Huang Boying moved a stool for Lin Yan and said, "I'll tell you a story." As soon as Lin Yan heard that there was a story to listen to, he immediately closed the lid of the box and sat on the stool honestly, looking at Huang Boying with his eyes.

"Legend has it that during the Warring States Period, King Song Kang, the monarch of the Song Kingdom, had a sheren named Han Ping. Han Ping's wife He was very beautiful, and in order to take away He, King Song Kang imprisoned Han Ping and convicted him of building a city wall. Han Ping's wife secretly wrote a letter to Han Ping, 'Its rain is very deep, watch out for the sunrise. ’”

Lin Yan asked curiously, "What does this letter mean?"

"Don't worry, later this letter was seen by King Song Kang, and he didn't understand the meaning of the words on the letter, so he went to ask his subordinates. One of the doormen explained, 'The rain is lustful, that is, her sorrow and longing are very deep, the river is so deep that they cannot communicate with each other, and the sunrise beware means that she has the intention of dying.' Soon after, Han Ping committed suicide. ”

Huang Boying paused, and then said: "His wife He made her clothes very tattered, but she couldn't see her appearance, and when He and King Song Kang climbed the high platform together, He took advantage of no one to pay attention to her, broke free from King Song Kang, and jumped down. King Song Kang's subordinates tried to hold her, but her clothes were already rotten, and when she pulled them, they were torn, and she couldn't hold them at all, and she fell to her death. In her clothes there was a suicide note, which read: 'The king benefits his life, and the concubine benefits his death, and he is willing to be buried with bones.' King Song Kang was so angry that he did not do what she wished, and let his men bury them separately, and the two tombs were separated from each other. King Song Kang said angrily, "If the husband and wife are in love with each other, if the two tombs can be brought together, then I will not hinder them." ’”

"Why is this King Song Kang so bad! No one has sanctioned him?" Xiao Lin Yan clenched his fist vigorously.

Huang Boying said helplessly when he heard this: "Because he is in power." Yan'er, you remember, virtue is thin and respectful, strength is small and heavy, and this is the source of all disasters. This is also the reason why we people in the rivers and lakes are reluctant to deal with people in officialdom. It's just that what King Song Kang didn't expect was that it didn't take long for two catalpa trees to grow from the two tombs respectively, and they grew very thick in ten days, the trunks bent and moved closer to each other, the roots of the trees were connected in the ground, the branches were staggered in the sky, and there were two mandarin ducks, one female and one male, always perched on the tree, morning and evening, snuggling together, and the sound of sorrow was very moving. People sympathized with Han Ping and his wife, so they called these two trees acacia trees. And the branch in your hand, is the branch on the acacia tree, I got it by chance in the early years, this branch has been exuding this fragrance, can make people meditate and nourish, today you have a birthday, give it to you as a gift. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Ying, I'll go back and put it away. After listening to the story, Lin Yan happily ran to his room with the box in his arms.

Looking at Lin Yan's departing back, Huang Boying smiled faintly and said, "You said that it was a bit early for me to give Lian Lizhi to him, after all, he was only eight years old." ”

Lin Aotian turned in from outside the house and said with a smile: "I still feel so keen, I was discovered by you again." Anyway, Lian Lizhi is your thing, what is the use of this Lian Lizhi, it can't really be just a rumored love token on the rivers and lakes. ”

"I don't know very well, this branch is not afraid of fire and water, and the knife and axe will not leave a trace, it is extremely hard, not like a mortal thing. But lately, I feel like I'm getting old, and I'm always unsteady in my heart, as if I won't have a chance if I don't explain what happened to me, haha. Huang Boying said half-jokingly.

Lin Aotian frowned, and said: "There are still more than four years to go, you also know the grievances between my father and the Tang Sect, now that Yan'er is older, you can leave if you want, I will prepare enough for you." ”

When Huang Boying heard this, he said angrily: "How many times have I said that my life is Uncle Fenghua's, how can I be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"Okay, I'm going to find Yan'er, you can rest well. Lin Aotian shook his head and turned to leave.

Huang Boying looked at Lin Aotian's departing back and muttered, "Uncle Fenghua, why are you so troubled, alas." ”

She knew that Lin Aotian came to persuade herself, and it was all Lin Fenghua's meaning.
