The south of the Yangtze River in May every year is very beautiful, the flowers are fragrant, the flowing water in front of the door is crystal clear, and the people on the bridge come and go, a peaceful and vigorous scene. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A teenager dressed in a short shirt and trousers, with a burly body and smart eyes, made people feel like a smart body, walking leisurely in this narrow street.

He was born in this beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, his parents are people who have retired to the rivers and lakes, and they have been dancing knives and guns since they were children.

It is the day of the meeting, and every year on this day, people from the surrounding areas will come, including people watching the bustle and vendors selling things.

He secretly ran out while his parents were away, although he liked to practice martial arts, but over time he was a little bored, and happened to come out to see the excitement. So I walked around the river, it was the morning, the air was clean, the people were dense, and the excitement was lively.

Every time his parents told him that in the rivers and lakes, it is complex and changeable, don't be impulsive in everything, you must observe words and looks, and don't grudge with others, and make money with harmony. ”

Lin Xiaotian was also tired from walking, so he went to the inn on the side of the road, first, to rest, and second, to fill his stomach and think about where to go for a while?

Outside the inn, a bright sign hangs high on the top of the door, and the word "welcome" yellow is particularly glaring, and it looks wide and clean from the outside. But when I saw a slanting light shining in, the shadows of the people were heavy, and the noise could be heard at the door of the street.

Lin Xiaotian walked into the inn slowly, asked for a pot of wine and half a catty of beef, and sat on the stool on the table next to the door. At this time, a loud foreign accent came into the house, "May I ask where Lin Yao lives", Lin Xiaotian said with a straight face, isn't Lin Yao looking for my father?, but this pair of men and women with a big age difference, and they have foreign accents, and they don't know each other, so they have a little more heart at the moment and pay attention to the two of them.

The man looked to be about forty years old, tall, sturdy, carrying a sword in his hand, and the woman next to him was about twenty years old, with long hair fluttering, big eyes, although not very beautiful, but also delicate and dignified, wearing a pale white palace dress, but a little more dusty temperament. The wide skirt is elegant and luxurious. The black jade-like green silk is simply rolled into a flying fairy bun, and a few full and round pearls are embellished in the hair at will, making the cloud-like hair more soft and moisturized. The beautiful eyes are full of brilliance, and there is a light smile between the red lips.

The second shopkeeper in the hotel should receive a message: "Lin Yao, I haven't heard of it, you two might as well come in and rest and inquire again." The woman said softly: "Father, according to what Senior Brother Zhou said, Uncle Lin is around here, yes, let's rest for the time being, there are many people here, and they should find it." ”

The man, who was called "Father," said in a sigh of grace, "Okay." At that moment, the two sat down opposite Lin Xiaotian, the man's eyes swept over, looked at Lin Xiaotian for a moment, it was true, and then shook his head again. The woman then asked, what's wrong?, the man said casually, nothing, Fei'er, what do you want to eat?

The woman pouted and said, although the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, it is not as vast as the north, and it is also a side of the water and soil and a side of the customs, I am not used to eating the food here, you eat, I will not eat it. ”

The man was kind and asked Xiao Er to serve a pot of wine and half a catty of meat. ”

At this time, Lin Xiaotian was also extra vigilant because of the man's observation just now, and heard the woman say, the north, could it be that they are from the north, and there is also a question in his heart at the moment, and he has not heard his parents say that there are any relatives and friends in the north. He didn't dare to look at the two of them at this time, for fear that the other party would be suspicious of him, so he pretended to drink, but in fact, the wine was almost finished, just to see what the two people came from.

Just when Lin Xiaotian was puzzled, it was a second middle-aged man with a foreign accent, one high and one low, the accent was similar to that of the man and woman, and one said: "Little Er, come to two pots of wine and a pound of meat." ”

The man who was called his father was shocked, and when he looked at these two, his face sank, and he said: "It turned out to be the "Double Shock Flood Slaughter" of the Guangtu School, but I don't know that the wind from that side blew the two to the south of the Yangtze River. ”

The taller one smiled and said, "Master Su is smiling, have your father and daughter found Lin Yao?" Haha, after a burst of laughter, he said: "Even if Lin Yao appears, your Guangxiao faction may not be our opponent, and your trip is in vain." Haha, the short man laughed too.

Su Fei said in a stiff tone: "Let's talk about winning or losing now, it's still too early, but the two of you came to Jiangnan in person, it can't be too much of a fuss, it seems that the two of you are also here to inquire about the news of my Uncle Lin, so it seems that the two of you also take the eighth day of the eighth month of August, and the dispute between the sects is also a top priority, so how can you just guarantee that the Guangtu faction can win, it's all self-deception." The "Double Shock Flood Tu" was said to blush, and at the same time said: "What a little woman, but she has sharp teeth and sharp mouth." ”

Su Fei rolled his eyes, smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but you don't need to be polite to those dogs who fight people." "Shuang was shocked by Hong Tu, both thought, this little woman scolded us again, they were all angry, but seeing that the other party was a junior, and knowing that Lin Yao was around, it was more than enough to deal with this father and daughter, but if Lin Yao was alarmed, it would be difficult, so thinking about it, both of them swallowed their anger.

The taller one said: "You can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and the battle between sects is a victory or a defeat, and you can see when you do, but some people go to ask their junior disciples who have retired for many years, which is a joke." ”

Lin Xiaotian was listening carefully to the words of both sides at this time, and also figured out the general situation, and was about to reveal his identity to Master Su, but hesitated again, Lin Xiaotian had never been far away, and he had never encountered trouble alone, so he was in a dilemma at the moment, and he didn't know what to do.

Master Su sneered and said: "Hong Renfang, I invited my junior brother to be my own sect's business, and I am not an outsider, what are you doing, you are afraid that my junior brother will make a move." Haha, since you're afraid, then just admit defeat, and save yourself from losing your wife and breaking your soldiers. ”

Hong Renfang smiled evilly, if it was true that he was afraid back then, now I sent the head of the West Gate to practice behind closed doors, and it is not the head of the West Gate back then, and I am afraid that it is you Su The head should be afraid. After that, he laughed again.

The shorter one whispered: "You better admit defeat as soon as possible" The two laughed again, and the laughter of the two echoed throughout the inn, and there was a hint of ridicule in this laughter.

At this time, there are more and more people in the inn, some of them eat by themselves, and some of them see these two outsiders arguing just that they don't dare to slander each other when they see the sword in each other's hands, they just watch quietly, and there are also some people with experience in the rivers and lakes who quietly discuss, "It seems that these two teams are all masters, and I don't know what the scene of the battle between the eight sects in early August they are talking about will be, there must be a good show to watch." ”

At this time, Lin Xiaotian was secretly angry, and this pair of shocking Hong Tu was too conceited. Also, since Lin Xiaotian was sensible, he realized that his father was superb in martial arts, and he had seen his father wield a sword against several court guards, but that was a long time ago. At that moment, he said to himself: "Laugh, when you cry, I'll see if this Su Zhangmen is really my father's senior brother." ”

Su Fei slowed down, and said softly: "Father doesn't have to pay attention to them, let them laugh." I just think about how they know that my Uncle Lin is in the Jiangnan area this time, and they are following them closely, this matter must not be so simple, I think there must be something strange about this matter. ”

Su Zhangmen's thoughts slowed down, thought about it, and said: "Fei'er reminds me that this matter is not so simple after all, and now I can only find your uncle first and then discuss, but I saw Jiangnan but couldn't find you Uncle Lin for a while, it was really anxious, and he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, the handkerchief was beautiful and shiny, and the surface was neatly sewn, presumably made of high-quality materials, and a big "Lin" word was stitched in the middle of the handkerchief.

Lin Xiaotian was first shocked when he saw the handkerchief, although he couldn't see what words were printed, but he also thought that he had seen his father have the same handkerchief before, but the handkerchief was printed with the word "Su".

Just when Lin Xiaotian was suspicious, he heard Master Su say affectionately: " This handkerchief is sewn by my sister herself, and another piece is in the hands of your Uncle Lin, his piece is printed with my surname, and I am your uncle's surname, when my master gave it to the two of us, it was said that in the future, you two should take care of each other, and you should strive to carry forward my Guangxiao faction, everything should be discussed together, not to quarrel, however, your Uncle Lin is carefree by nature, does not like to pay attention to the affairs of the sect, does not like to provoke right and wrong, after a few years after my master, after the death of the master, he gave me the position of the head of the family, originally according to the martial arts is your Uncle Lin to high demand, but he does not like to take care of the sect, I had to take over, a few years later, he retired from the rivers and lakes, I do not know where to go, and now they can only kill themselves. "Su Fei, listen with a serious face, thank you.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian was also shocked, so it was so, I couldn't complain that my father would find an excuse to postpone it as soon as I asked about the past. The previous doubts also disappeared, and he immediately walked to Su Fei's table and said affectionately, "Uncle Su, in Xia Lin Xiaotian, the Lin Yao you are looking for is the father." ”

As soon as these words came out, Hong Tu and the father and daughter surnamed Su were both shocked, this is Lin Yao's biological son in front of them, neither side spoke, but after a closer look, it does look a little similar.

At this time, the inn was silent, the Su father and daughter were also half-convinced, Hong Tu and the two were full of sadness, and secretly said, "Could it be that Lin Yao really lives nearby", and some other spectators walked away when they saw that there was no more excitement.

Hong Ren made a face at Tu Jinrong, and Tu Jinrong left in a hurry. And here the Su father and daughter eased their breath, and Su Fei also whispered in his father's ear: "Since he said yes, then you might as well let him take them to see if it's true, and secondly, why don't you also stand up, be careful of fraud, if there is fraud, he can't run away alone."

。 Master Su nodded.

So, the three of them left the inn, Lin Xiaotian walked in front to lead the way, and the Su father and daughter followed closely behind, and they didn't pay attention to Hong Renfang.

Na Hong Renfang was stunned for a long time, looking anxious, as if he was waiting for Tu Jinrong to arrive, seeing the three of them get up and leave, he thought: "It seems that this kid is really Lin Yao's son, and I don't know if the guy surnamed Tu told Ximen about this situation, and he is afraid that the other party is too afraid to act." He sat quietly in the same place.

When the three of them walked out of the hotel, it was almost evening, and it was the setting sun, and the rows of low houses under the afterglow were imprinted in the water. The crowd on the old bridge was heavy, and it was not less than noon, noisy and shouting, with the cries of children and the scolding of partners, and the main street was buzzed with excitement by this atmosphere.

In the shop on the side of the road, the boss was smiling and busy, introducing items while digging out broken silver. Pretty much the same from store to store.

After Su Fei read it, he asked: "Why does it seem that everyone has no plans to go home." Lin Xiaotian smiled and said: "Today is a rally, there will be a lantern festival at night, on the road, on the lake, the lanterns are lit together, it is very beautiful, many people are here to enjoy the lanterns." "Sophie, oh sound.

At that moment, Lin Xiaotian led the Su father and daughter across the street, crossed the bridge, turned right and walked towards a remote low house, and said at the same time: "This is home." ”

Master Su took a closer look around the Lin family, but saw that there was only one road leading to it, the door was not very big, but it was decorated with a different appearance, it seemed that the yard was not big, and there were rows of low houses around it.

It doesn't seem to make much difference, if it weren't for his own family, it would be difficult to tell which village it was, Su Zhangmen sighed secretly, it seems that Senior Brother Lin has also lived an idyllic life in his heart over the years, but when he asks about the sect, he doesn't have anything to do with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so he should be very happy. ”

Immediately, Lin Xiaotian opened the door and shouted, "Father, mother, look who is coming." Then Lin Yao and his wife came back early, and found that Lin Xiaotian was no longer in the house or yard to practice martial arts, and he had no intention of reproaching, Lin Xiaotian's mother Ning Lingxi said: "When the child is older, it is time to go outside to break in, and it is not a matter if he stays at home all day." At the moment, the two of them were busy with their work, and the others were not thinking about Lin Xiaotian.

After hearing their son's words, the couple looked confused and said secretly: "For more than 20 years, few people know that they live here, and they are both surprised and frightened at the moment." The surprise is that I haven't seen my relatives for more than 20 years, and the horror is that it was the people in the rivers and lakes who looked here, and when the two walked out of the house, Lin Yao was startled at first, and there was also a trace of joy and surprise in his expression, and he said casually: "Senior Brother Jianhao." Ning Lingxi was also taken aback, and said secretly, could it be that the person in front of her was Senior Brother Su Jianhao, whom her husband often mentioned.

When Lin Yao retired, he was not married, so Su Jianhao didn't know Ning Lingxi, but he also guessed probably, but he saw her wrapped in a pale pink dress, covered with a white gauze robe, revealing a beautiful neck and clearly visible collarbones, and the pleats of the skirt were like snow and moonlight, flowing lightly on the ground, more than three feet long, making the gait more graceful and soft, three thousand green silk tied up with a hairband, a butterfly hairpin on the head, a wisp of green silk hanging on the chest, thin powder, only adding color, the faint red feeling on the cheeks created a kind of pure skin like petals as delicate and lovely, the whole person is like a butterfly flying with the wind, and like a clear and transparent ice and snow。

At this time, he said with a face full of joy, junior brother, I can be regarded as finding you, this is my brother-in-law. Lin Yao responded, Senior Brother Su, sit in the house, and instructed Ning Lingxi to prepare food and wine, and continue with Senior Brother Su tonight. ”

Ning Lingxi looked at her husband with a happy face, thinking that her husband had not been happy today for twenty years, and the joy in her heart was indescribable, so she went to prepare a meal.

After a while, the food was brought out, Su Fei looked at the food, many of them were northern cuisines, and he didn't care about others, he picked up the chopsticks and ate them first, and said: "It's all southern cuisine all the way to Jiangnan, I'm not used to eating, I've been hungry for a few days, don't laugh." ”

Su Jianhao scolded, and Lin Yao laughed, "It doesn't matter if it's all my own family, this northern cuisine is also learned by Lingxi herself, she knows that I am from the north, so she learned to do it herself." ”

After the meal, Su Fei said noisily that he was going to see the Lantern Festival, so Ning Lingxi asked Lin Xiaotian to accompany him, and he and her husband, as well as Su Jianhao, chatted in the house about what Su Jianhao came to find them this time.

Su Jianhao put how he carried forward the sect over the years, how to deal with the battles with the people of the rivers and lakes, and focused on the sect battles held by the imperial court on the eighth day of August, and if anyone wins, other sects will obey this sect, and they will get a lot of material resources every year.
