Chapter 3 No More Youth
Flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young.
Zhong Chuhong groped for the Tenacious Sword, and then shook his skills, the Tenacious Sword that was still in Huo Xiaofan's hand just now was still as lifeless as a piece of scrap iron.
Zhong Chuhong said: "Strange, I didn't find its magic back then and put it aside, it should be the reason why your internal strength path can figure it out, do you know the origin of this sword?"
Huo Xiaofan shook his head and said, "I don't know... ”
Zhong Chuhong said: "When the old man of our family was young, he made a bet with the Sword Saint of the Heavenly Wolf Clan, that is, the peerless swordsman who was as famous as your Heavenly Sword Sect Master Ancestor, and won a lot, and the Sword Saint lost this sword to him, I don't know how he won, but this sword is indeed from the hand of the Sword Saint, it must not be ordinary, I didn't expect it to be cheap for you kid." “
Huo Xiaofan was afraid that she would regret it and take it back again, so he said: "Grandma Zhong, this is fate, but it can shine again with me, and all the invincibility is better than putting it in your place." ”
Zhong Chuhong snorted and asked, "Mei'er is in Zhongzhou now, do you want to go there to see her?"
Huo Xiaofan said in embarrassment: "My master still has important things to do, and the direction is far away, so let's talk about it when I complete the task." ”
Zhong Chuhong said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Zhongzhou is located in Jiangbei, close to Suzhou and Hangzhou, the sons of the family over there are all strong martial arts, smart and well-behaved and supported by wealthy families, if you go late, maybe Mei'er is someone else's, the girl's age is the most unfirm willpower, when you want to find our family Mei'er such a good girl, there will be no time, you can't cry." ”
Huo Xiaofan smiled and said, "Grandma Zhong, didn't you say that you would help me, but my matter is really important, and it is a little dangerous, and the future depends on fate." ”
Zhong Chuhong sighed and said, "Fate, fate, unreliable, young man, is still man-made." Pack up and go, I won't send you. ”
Huo Xiaofan didn't care when he saw that she had given the eviction order, he still knelt down and kowtowed to Zhong Chuhong three times, and then rode away from Fuxiang Valley to continue to set off. Because he and Qi Yuanshan broke up with Fengyun Fort in Xiangnan City, he decided to go to Fengyun Fort to inquire about the situation before making a decision. Because he came out of Fuxiang Valley very late, he didn't arrive at the place where he stayed, so he had to be in the wilderness. He found an old tree near the military tent that he bought in Tianxian Town before departure, and was lucky to catch a pheasant nearby, roasted it on a fire, and went to the horse to get salt and seasonings, and roasted it while sprinkling, and then suddenly remembered what the three fat men said, and must not wronged themselves, alas, I don't know how they mixed for several years, and my brother really misses you.
At this time, there was a flute sound from afar, and the sound of the flute was desolate and miserable, which made people shudder when they heard it. Huo Xiaofan heard that it was the movement of the blood demon, and said in his heart: "Is it possible that this demon is narrow-minded and wants to take revenge on me as Grandma Zhong said, he looked around, and felt that if he turned around now and ran too bearishly, he would also lose the face of the Heavenly Sword Gate, so he held on and wanted to see what he was doing." ”
Chu Yulou slowly walked out of the darkness without any expression on his face. Huo Xiaofan stood up and saluted him: "Senior Chu is really coincidental, let's meet again, it's really fateful, my freshly grilled chicken, let's eat it together." ”
Chu Yulou sat in front of the fire, sniffed his nose and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite good at cooking when you were young." ”
Huo Xiaofan hurriedly tore off a big chicken leg and gave it to him, and Chu Yulou asked if you had any wine. Huo Xiaofan replied: "Yes, if you don't say it, I forgot it, I put some punch before leaving, but it's not a good wine, just don't dislike it, seniors." ”
Chu Yulou laughed at this time and said, "It's good to have wine and meat in the wilderness." He took a bite of the meat and took Huo Xiaofan's wine bag but didn't drink it immediately, he sniffed it carefully with his nose before taking a sip, which is also his habit of crawling and rolling on the rivers and lakes all year round.
Huo Xiaofan didn't know what to say to him for a while, so he waited for him to talk. Chu Yulou suddenly asked, "Is Xiaohong's granddaughter called Mei'er, how did you know each other?"
Huo Xiaofan didn't hide it, so he told Chu Yulou about the process of his acquaintance with Liu Mei'er, and Chu Yulou nodded thoughtfully and said, "The red bead around your neck was given to you by Mei'er." ”
Huo Xiaofan was a little taken aback and said, "How do you know, senior. ”
Chu Yulou smiled slightly and said, "This is the gift I gave to Xiaohong back then, and it has not been transferred to you. He added: "Back then, the two of us could be said to be childhood sweethearts, but she was the eldest lady of the Zhong family, and I was just a fatherless and motherless orphan adopted by the Zhong family. Although I had the opportunity to elope with her, she was willing to go with me, but at the last moment I was still afraid that I would not be able to give her happiness and give up, I thought of going out for a few years to mix up my identity and then come back to marry her, but I didn't expect that when I came back, she was already the mother of someone else's child. ”
Chu Yulou said while drinking, he didn't care whether Huo Xiaofan liked to listen to it or not, it seemed like telling it to Xiaofan and recalling the past. He added: "After so many years, I thought that his husband was dead, and she could go with me, but I didn't expect to shirk again. ”
Huo Xiaofan saw that Chu Yulou was not as vicious as the legend, and then he would look like an infatuated lover. He couldn't help but ask: "Senior, why don't you look for other women like you who are so handsome and dashing, you should be able to find anything if you are so strong in martial arts." ”
Chu Yulou smiled bitterly: "Once the sea was difficult to turn into water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud, you are still a little smaller. I heard Xiaohong say that others don't agree with you and Mei'er, what are you going to do?"
Huo Xiaofan couldn't say that Zhong Chuhong lied to him, so he replied: "If you don't agree, you won't agree, I don't have any ideas." ”
How do you know that Chu Yulou was very excited and said: "Then how can it work, if the two of you are in love, and others don't agree with you, you want to grab it, I see that your martial arts are already quite good at a young age, the only thing that is lacking is that they are famous and decent and shouting, what is right, you must be responsible in this matter, don't learn from me, I regret it for the rest of my life." ”
Huo Xiaofan could only nod desperately, and the two of them drank after a while chatting, and finally Chu Yulou asked one last question: "What does Xiaohong look like now, can you tell me?"
Huo Xiaofan said: "It's nothing special, it's just an ordinary old lady. ”
Chu Yulou said in surprise: "Impossible, Xiaohong was a famous beauty in the rivers and lakes back then, and now no matter how she is, she will still have charm." '
Huo Xiaofan drank a little wine, was a little dizzy, and said without scruples: "Senior, you haven't seen Grandma Zhong for many years, I see that Grandma Zhong will not wear a mask every day." ”
Chu Yulou pondered: "It's been more than 20 years, and she has been avoiding me for a long time, okay, the young man has nothing to give you after drinking your wine today, give you a, and in the future, if you need my help with Mei'er, I will definitely help you support you."
After speaking, he disappeared into the night while blowing the flute, leaving Huo Xiaofan alone to listen to the soul-stirring sound of the flute and look at the bright moon in the sky in a daze.
