"The fishermen of Xinsu are wide, and the swallows return in autumn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"The bamboo forest dances in the wind, and the ancient pines rain down. ”

Before he could reach the door of the small house, there was a burst of singing.

It was an old woman's voice, with a brisk voice, which should be a folk song singing the beautiful autumn harvest in this Xijiang city.

When Nan Yuan heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

He walked briskly to the door, stretched out his hand, and knocked softly.

"Who's coming? The singing in the house stopped abruptly, and the voice of an old woman rang out. Then there was a sound of footsteps, presumably the people of the house who had come to greet them.

The three Bai Fengyin behind Nanyuan glanced at each other, and their faces showed a sudden look. Secretly, it turned out that the senior master was an old woman.

This is a little different from the peerless swordsman they thought in their hearts, but they also know that this person is not to be seen, so their hearts are only accidents, but they are not disappointed. At that time, he had what he thought to be the brightest smile on his face, and decided to make the best impression on the master he had met for the first time.

At that moment, the low door made a hoarse noise, and it was slowly pulled open from the inside.

What caught the eyes of Bai Fengyin and the three of them was an old woman with a rickety figure, a furrow on her face, and a white frost on her head.

Although I have seen it from various strange novels, most of the masters in this world are raunchy and have quirky temperaments. But when they saw the old woman, the three of them, who had already been mentally prepared, couldn't help but be stunned for a while. This master was really too ordinary, and they couldn't even feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power from her.

"Hey, General Nan?" The old woman was slightly stunned at first when she saw the appearance of the person who came, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Why are you here?" she said, and she stepped away to make way for everyone. "Please inside, please inside!"

Her steps were extremely slow, as if due to her age, and her legs and feet were inconvenient.

Nan Yuan nodded respectfully, and then led Bai Fengyin and the three of them into the house.

The furnishings in this room can be regarded as extremely simple, a dining table that has not been used for an unknown period of time, and a few mottled wooden chairs and bamboo stools almost constitute the main furnishings in this room.

The expressions on the faces of Bai Fengyin and the others became more and more strange, and they secretly felt that they seemed to have misunderstood the identity of the elder in Nanyuan's mouth. After all, judging from the behavior of this old woman, she is more like an ordinary old man than the so-called worldly master.

It's just that what they can't understand is why such an old woman deserves so much attention from Nanyuan.

The old woman poured a cup of tea for Nan Yuan, who was already sitting at the table, and only then did she realize that Nan Yuan was still followed by Bai Fengyin and the three of them.

"Who are these three little brothers?" she asked, hesitantly.

At this time, Nan Yuan put down the gifts in his hand and on his back one by one, and replied: "These three are the disciples of my deceased, and they met by chance on the way and accompanied them together. Now, when they heard that the old woman was here, they also came to visit with some gifts. As he spoke, he also gave Bai Fengyin a look to the three of them.

The three of them came to their senses at this time, hurriedly stepped forward to put down the gift in their hands, and then said to the old woman very obediently: "Hello mother-in-law." Only then did he carefully sit beside Nanyuan.

It's not that they are cowardly and afraid, but they remember that Nan Yuan asked them not to talk nonsense, and they didn't understand the concern between the two for a while, for fear that they would say something wrong and cause some unnecessary trouble. That's why it's so cautious.

"Oooh. The old woman obviously trusted Nan Yuan very much, and she nodded, the expression on her face eager. "General Nan, you said that you are really, you come to see the old body every year, and you bring so many things with you every time, I am old, how can I use it up?"

Her words were not polite, but there was really a hint of blame.

Bai Fengyin and the three of them secretly wondered when they heard this, with the cultivation of this Nan senior, in their opinion, there are probably few people in the world today who dare to talk to him like this.

And Nanyuan's blame for the old woman is also accepted in full. He smiled and said: "Old woman, I can't blame me, this is all what Brother Liu asked me to sell to you, he is now in charge of guarding the northern land, and he is so busy that he can't be idle." You can only ask me to buy you something. ”

As soon as these words came out, the old woman who was still smiling suddenly had a dark look on her face.

"Hey... Since he followed General Nan to guard Xiliang, I haven't seen my family for seven or eight years. The old woman sighed, her voice indescribably lonely.

Bai Fengyin and the three of them naturally felt the dull atmosphere in the room at this moment.

But they also got some information from the few words they had in their conversation.

For example, Nan Yuan seems to have participated in the Battle of Xiliang against Tuoba Yuanwu before, which explains why he knows so clearly about the deeds of Bei Tongxuan, Xu Rang, and even that Guan Canghai. However, with his cultivation, even if he went back seven or eight years, he was still outstanding, but why, they had never heard anyone say a word about this Nanyuan?

This can't help but make the three of them more and more curious about Nanyuan's identity.

Who was he, why was he so powerful, and what role did he play in the riots five years ago?

"Mother-in-law doesn't need to be like this, Changyu is now a great Wei god general, and the garrison at the border is also for the sake of the saint, didn't he promise me to send you letters every day? Nan Yuan's face changed slightly, but he quickly retracted and said pretending to be annoyed.

"Where is the general, my family Yu has never sent less letters and silver every day, but..." "It's just that I'm getting older, and my body is getting worse day by day, I'm afraid..."

The old woman's words were not finished, but the meaning behind them was clear.

Nanyuan groaned slightly, and finally said: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, go back to Chang'an this time... I will meet with the Holy One and let him... Give Changyu some vacation..."For some reason, he said this a little intermittently, and seemed to have some concerns.

As if she had not heard such a question, the old woman hastily ended the conversation.

"Good. Good. Good. Then there is General Law, you can sit down for a while, and I will go and get you some food. With that, he hurriedly turned around, as if he didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer.

Having said that, Bai Fengyin and the three of them also heard some clues.

The old woman seemed to be the mother of a general of the imperial court, who had not been home to visit her for several years because of military affairs. And the southern seniors, how can they be the old acquaintances of that general, so they will come to visit on behalf of that general every year.

This is different from the worldly masters they thought in their hearts before.

However, everyone was not disappointed, they were kind-hearted, and they wanted to meet the so-called masters of the world, but they were only curious.

It's just that there is one point, Bai Fengyin is somewhat confused.

Great Wei has 36 god generals, because of the war five years ago, many god generals died in battle, and now there are 36 god generals, only 25 of them are in office, and the remaining 11 have not yet been canonized.

But Bai Fengyin thought about it, and he never remembered that one of the twenty-five gods of Great Wei today was named Liu Changyu.

Again.

In the war of that year, although there was a king of Jin in the north who took refuge in Sima Xu, but after his death, his grandson Xing Gu Xianjun inherited the throne of the king of Jin, and with her sitting in the north, why did he need any gods to be stationed? That Gu Xianjun heard that he was Dean Su's confidante, the master of Emperor Xiahou Ming of Wei, and the north was in her hands, and the court could not be more relieved, and did not send any gods to garrison there at all. So where did Liu Changyu start with what Nan's predecessors said?

Thinking of this, Bai Fengyin's brows furrowed, and his face became more and more puzzled when he looked at Nanyuan.

However, Li Geting and Nomad Gu were young, and their minds were much simpler, so they didn't think about it, but followed the old woman to the back kitchen very diligently and helped her cook the meal.

Listening to the chatting of the three people from time to time from the back kitchen, Bai Fengyin's heart was even more uneasy.

Nanyuan doesn't seem to be a good liar.

I don't know if he felt Bai Fengyin's gaze, or if he was already at a loss in his heart, at this moment he lowered his head, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what to think.

"Minami-senpai. Bai Fengyin called tentatively.

When Nan Yuan heard this, his body was excited, and he turned his head to look at Bai Fengyin as if he had just woken up from a dream.

It wasn't until this moment that Bai Fengyin suddenly discovered that this man, who had always been respected by them as a senior, actually looked like he was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, and even after all, all the masters in Tianlan Academy were much younger.

This discovery made him slightly stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses, and he asked: "Senior Nan, that Liu Changyu God will be the old acquaintance of the senior?" Perhaps for the sake of temptation, he deliberately bit the accent on the word Shenjiang.

This hero, who has always been calm and calm in his heart, rarely flashed a trace of panic on his face at this moment.

"Ahh Well. He was slightly surprised, and then replied in a low voice. But Bai Fengyin keenly noticed that the tip of his nose had been stained with some beads of sweat at some point.

"But as far as I know, there is no god general named Liu Changyu in the imperial court..."Bai Fengyin stared at Nanyuan's eyes and asked.

Nan Yuan, who had seen through the lie of "......", had a dark look on his face, but before he could say anything, there was a sound of footsteps in the back kitchen.

I saw the old woman walking out with a bowl of inexpensive but fragrant dishes, smiling.

"General Nan has been waiting for a long time. As she said this, she hurriedly put the dishes on the table, beckoned Bai Fengyin and Nanyuan to taste them, and hurried back to the back kitchen to take care of the rest of the meals.

Nan Yuan handed Bai Fengyin a slightly calm look at this time, and dealt with the old woman here.

By the time the old woman left again, a heavy anger had already appeared on Bai Fengyin's face.

Nan Yuan is a bright and upright man in his heart, and what such a person says and does should naturally be upright.

But now, such a so-called hero actually deceived an old woman who was almost old, which made Bai Fengyin unable to accept it.

"What about Liu Changyu?" he tried his best to suppress the anger surging in his body, and asked again.

"......" Nan Yuan's head lowered even deeper when he heard this, and after a while, he replied in a dull voice: "It's dead." ”

"Dead?" Bai Fengyin's body paused, and an incredible look suddenly appeared on his face, but soon this incredulity was replaced by an emotion called anger.

"Then you still tell people that he became a god general in the Northland, and why don't you petition the Holy Lord in the future and transfer him back to Xijiang City?" Bai Fengyin asked, his voice becoming more and more high-pitched.

Young people are like this, they always can't tolerate a little sand in their eyes, and they always think that the rights and wrongs in this world are as clear as black and white.

He asked loudly, venting his frustration.

"Can't bear to deceive a woman like this, and she doesn't even have the right to know whether her son is alive or dead?"

Bang!

As soon as these words fell, a crisp sound suddenly sounded in the direction of the back kitchen.

Bai Fengyin and Nan Yuan were startled, turned their heads to look, but saw that the old woman was standing at the door with a sluggish expression at the moment, the dishes in her hands had fallen to the ground, the porcelain bowl was torn apart, and the dishes contained in it were scattered all over the ground.

Obviously, the quarrel between the two had been heard by her, and the true situation of her son could no longer be hidden from her.

"Mother-in-law!" Nan Yuan was in a hurry, he hurriedly stepped forward, but the old woman obviously couldn't withstand such a blow, and her body was stunned, and she fell straight to the ground. Fortunately, Nanyuan was skilled, and with a dodge, he came behind the woman and held her fallen body violently.

At this moment, the old woman's brows were tightly locked, and the expression in her eyes was sloppy, such a blow was too big for a person of her age after all.

Li Geting and the others, who rushed to hear the sound in the back kitchen, watched from a distance, they didn't expect such a change, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

And Bai Fengyin, who was still indignant, was even more caught off guard and stood in place.

Nan Yuan was even more interested in caring about them at the moment, he hurriedly took charge of the old woman to sit down, and the spiritual power in his body swayed, and a majestic vitality was stimulated from his body, and one after another surged into the old woman's body.

Bai Fengyin's face changed, and this majestic vitality shook his heart, the only thing in this world that can inspire such vitality is the ancient god Ruomu. And if he remembered correctly, this Ruomu should be in the hands of that Tianlan Dean Su Changan at this moment.

So...

He jerked his head to look at the man named Nan Yuan.

Carrying a sword, he is young, and he is full of wood, and his cultivation is amazing.

Thinking of this, his pupils dilated, and a guess came to his mind at this moment...

Ruomu is a sacred object that is claimed to be able to reverse yin and yang and live white bones. Under its nourishment, the complexion on the old woman's face finally gradually improved.

"General Nan, the old man is fine. She said slowly, but the look on her face was still very lonely.

"Mother-in-law... This matter is me..."Nan Yuan was naturally ashamed when he saw her like this, he lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"The general doesn't need to say much, the old body knows. The old woman had experienced the previous blow, and now she seemed to have recovered, stood up, and looked at Nanyuan.

"My family jade—" She opened her mouth, her upper and lower lips trembling, but she tried to suppress it as hard as she could, trying to make herself look calm enough. "It should have been after the battle of Xiliang, and he left..."

These words shook Nanyuan's body, and he looked at the old woman incredulously, "Mother-in-law." How do you know?"

"Hey, I've probably guessed something since the day you started writing to me on his behalf, it's my son after all, how can I, as a mother, not know the tone of my voice? The old woman trembled as she walked to the wooden chair beside the table.

The three Bai Fengyin beside him hurriedly stepped forward to support her, for fear that she would fall to the ground if she was not careful.

"Little brother, don't blame General Nan either. The old woman pointed at Bai Fengyin and said slowly: "How many generals in the world can write to his mother every month for the sake of a dead soldier, but just to let me, an old bone who is about to go to the ground, not be sad?"

When Bai Fengyin heard this, he didn't speak, but his head lowered deeply.

He suddenly understood why Nanyuan did this, he only thought that everything should be above board, but he never knew that sometimes truth is more life-threatening than lies.

"Mother-in-law, it's me who can't stand you, Changyu was trying to protect me back then, just because..." and Nan Yuan walked quickly in front of the old woman at this time, and knelt down in front of her with a plop, her eyes were suddenly full of tears. "I feel shameless to see you, but I'm afraid that you will be too sad to know this, so I think about it and make this decision. ”

Bai Fengyin and the three of them never thought that Nanyuan, who was like a god in their hearts, would have such a side, they lowered their heads one after another, although they didn't know what was going on, but just from Nanyuan's appearance, they could probably guess something.

"General Nan, please hurry up, this can't be helped, this can't be helped. Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Nanyuan up. There was a long sigh in his mouth, "My son, who can be loyal to the country and protect a benevolent and righteous general like you, will die unjustly, unjustly." ”

She sighed like this, and her eyes couldn't help but be full of old tears.

The guilt in Nanyuan's heart was even worse, he lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, silent.

"General Nan, the old man still has something to ask, I don't know if I can tell me. Then the old woman asked again.

"Mother-in-law, please speak, I must know everything, and I will say everything. Nan Yuan hurriedly said, with a sincere attitude.

"Changyu is still brave when he fights under the general?"

"Every time I took the lead, I never flinched. ”

"That's good, this is my good son. A smile of relief appeared on the old woman's face.

"Mother-in-law didn't blame me?" Nan Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"What's so strange? Changyu is blessed to be loyal to the general. The old woman smiled bitterly. "Although I am a woman, I also know the truth that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, since Changyu chose to follow the general, I believe in his vision, and I also believe that he sacrificed his life to protect the person, and there is a reason for him to sacrifice his life to protect each other. ”

Saying that, the old woman stood up again, and the three Bai Fengyin beside her hurriedly reached out to support her when they saw this.

"It's okay, the dishes haven't been prepared yet, the general will wait for a while, and the old man will go to cook. Please don't excuse yourself. The old woman turned her head and said.

Nan Yuan wanted to say something, but with the expectant gaze of the old woman, he still couldn't get the words out of his mouth after all. Therefore, he could only respond in silence.

......

The meal was not an easy one.

Even though Liu Changyu's mother tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened, everyone could still feel the pain in her heart.

In the end, when they saw her like this, everyone did not stay longer.

When Nanyuan left, he also vigorously warned her to take good care of her body, and he would definitely come to visit her often in the future. Although the old woman agreed one by one, Nanyuan was still quite uneasy.

The group walked out of the room in silence, and the atmosphere between them was quite dull.

And then the same song they had come from behind them sounded again.

"The fishermen of Xinsu are wide, and the swallows return in autumn. ”

"The bamboo forest dances in the wind, and the ancient pines rain down. ”

At this point, the originally cheerful singing voice suddenly turned and became muffled.

"When the candle was sewn under the clothes, you said that you will return in the autumn next year. ”

"It's another year of autumn rain. ”

"Rice floral aroma, malt yellow. ”

"The son will not return, the son will not return. ”

"Mother's head is full of frost. ”

"Son, son. ”

"To return or not to return?"
