Chapter 57: Finally Seeing Zining
"Old man, is there a fishing village nearby, or near the river."
On the street of Xishui Town, a handsome man in red stretched out his hand to stop a septuagenarian, his smile was very gentle, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, and the old man's originally angry face immediately became gentle.
"You're talking about Xishui Village, and we're the only one near Xishui Town who makes a living from fishing and is close to the river, No! You can get there soon from here," the old man thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction.
The man in red looked overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, old man, farewell!"
Looking at the back of the man in red gradually moving away, the smile on the old man's face became brighter and brighter, and he only heard him mutter: "What a good young man!, if my granddaughter can marry him, my old bones will die without regrets! Alas!
"Old man Du, what kind of sigh in broad daylight, look, your granddaughter is still waiting for you!" The proprietress of the rouge stall on the street smiled and pointed in one direction and said to the old man.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, sure enough, there was a young woman in white who was slowly walking towards him, the white woman was none other than his own granddaughter, who looked very standard, but unfortunately, her father was beaten to death by a bully while performing on the street not long ago.
With a deep sigh, the old man said to the woman who had already walked in front of him, "Yunling, why are you here, didn't you stay at home and not run around?
The woman in white's face was a little pale, and she looked at the direction of the man in red and said, "Grandpa, I didn't dare to stay at home alone, so I followed you out, by the way, grandpa, who is that person?
Looking at the direction of his granddaughter's indication, the old man suddenly understood, shook his head and said: "How can grandpa recognize him, seeing that he is dressed up, he should be a man in the rivers and lakes, maybe he is still a master!"
"Jianghu people?" the woman in white nodded thoughtfully
The man in red was none other than Yan Lin, who came to look for Yan Lin who had met Zining by chance in the past, and according to the guidance of the old man in Xishui Town, Yan Lin flew all the way up and down, and it almost only took dozens of breaths for him to find the Xishui Village in the old man's mouth.
As soon as he came to Xishui Village, Yan Lin's heart suddenly became excited, not for anything else, because he clearly remembered that the village in front of him was the village where Zining was located in the TV series, and after just a few glances, Yan Lin found that the environment was almost exactly the same as the environment on TV.
With the impression on TV, Yan Lin can be said to be like a fish in water, he doesn't need to ask others for directions at all, just like going to his own home, Yan Lin turned a blind eye to the curious eyes of the surrounding villagers, and soon, Yan Lin came to a simple rubble house.
Although the rubble house is much better than the thatched house for the common people, but the house in front of him is really not flattering, in one sentence, it is too old, and the old one makes people wonder if it will collapse at any time, thinking that his beloved Zining is living in this kind of family, Yan Lin's heart can't help but tingle a little.
Suddenly, a young woman walked out cautiously step by step with a bamboo pole in her hand, and did not stop until she came to a pile of wood, she slowly sat down on a small stool that had already existed, reached out and touched a thick wood, picked up a wood splitting knife at her feet, aimed at it, and carefully chopped it up one by one.
"Zining!"
Yan Lin was very excited, the woman in front of him was the woman he had been thinking about for a long time, he didn't dare to make a sound, he was afraid of disturbing her, he was afraid of what he should say after she found out, calm down! Calm down! Must be calm, in his heart, he kept convincing himself.
The young woman chopping wood was very moving, she was wearing a pink dress, her complexion was so pale, and her beautiful face made people feel care, and suddenly, again, and again, the young woman finally split the third piece of wood in her hand.
At this moment, Yan Lin moved, he slowly walked to the young woman's side, he walked very lightly, the woman did not notice his existence, and continued to touch a piece of wood and split it.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Lin summoned all his courage and called softly, "Zining! I'm back."
The woman was shocked, and the kitchen knife in her hand was frozen in the air, familiar, too familiar, this voice would echo for a long time before she went to bed every day, and the sound of "bell", the wood knife fell to the ground but she didn't know it.
The woman's face became a little excited, and she said in disbelief, "Is it you?"
"It's me, I'm Yan Lin back, Zining, your eyes?" After Yan Lin squatted down, he gently took the young woman's hand, his eyes were full of tears, at this moment, he didn't act, besides, in the face of a person who has no light, why act?
As soon as she heard Yan Lin's words, the young woman's originally excited look immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a tear-jerking desperate face, she silently lowered her head, and was speechless for a long time, and a line of unwilling tears continued to flow out from under the wooden eyes.
Seeing his beloved woman like this, Yan Lin really wanted to cut off his tongue, and hurriedly explained: "Zining, don't be like this, what I care about is you, it doesn't matter if you can't see it, I came back this time to marry you, believe me, I really love you, from the day you gave me steamed buns, I swear, in my life, except for you, I will not like anyone again, even if it is a country and a city, it can't compare to your status in my heart."
"Really, you don't care I'm blind?"
Zi Ning raised her head, her white and tender face was filled with a hint of surprise, and her tone was also mixed with a hint of anticipation.
"Hmm!"
Yan Lin said heavily, and then said firmly: "I swear, if you marry me, I will treat you with all my heart and never fail you, if you violate this oath, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth."
"Don't!"
Zi Ning hurriedly reached out to cover Yan Lin's lips and said with a smile: "I believe in you."
However, at this moment, a septuagenarian came over with a fish basket on his back, looked at Zi Ning and Yan Lin and said in disbelief: "You Zi Ning! What the hell is going on?Who is he?".
"Ahh
Zi Ning hurriedly pulled out the hand held by Yan Lin, and said with a blushing face: "Grandpa, he is Yan Lin."
"Yan Lin?"
The septuagenarian's face was shocked, and he stared at Yan Lin in disbelief, how could he not have imagined that the man that his granddaughter had been thinking about day and night had really come back, Yan Lin was also slightly stunned, and after reacting, he quickly got up and saluted respectfully to the old man and said, "Junior Yan Lin, I have seen grandpa."
"You are Yan Lin, Ha Luha, I still remember when I first saw you ten years ago, you ran so fast, I can't catch up with this old bone, okay, they have grown so big, come on, come on, come into the house and rest, Zi Ning, this girl, I am looking forward to your coming back every day, now it's okay, God finally opened his eyes and looked forward to you back" The old man smiled and beckoned Yan Lin into the house, and walked to Zi Ning's side to support her.
Yan Lin smiled and didn't speak, seeing that the old man was carrying a fish basket and still had to support Zining, he hurriedly went over to help, and said to the old man: "I'll come!
It's funny to say, I don't know if Zi Ning is intentional or unintentional, in the face of the support of the two, she leaned tightly towards Yan Lin's side, and the old man who looked at it was dumbfounded, standing in place and shouting: I forgot my master with a lover!
The three of them entered the house, sat down around the table, the old man first poured a cup of tea for a few people, then sat down and looked at Yan Lin with a smile, and said, "Childe is here today, but there is something wrong?
"Grandpa!" Hearing the old man's words, Zi Ning's face suddenly turned red.
Of course Yan Lin understood the meaning of the old man's words, he didn't come here today just to see Zi Ning, his idea was to give the relationship with Zi Ning first, so as not to have long nights and dreams, take a sip of tea, Yan Lin smiled slightly, and said sincerely: "Yes! The younger generation is here today, it is a special trip for Zi Ning, I want to marry Zi Ning as a wife, and I hope that my grandfather can fulfill it!"
The old man's face was happy at first, and suddenly as if he had thought of something, he asked cautiously: "Childe came this time, did you bring a token?" If you don't bring it, Zi Ning is afraid that she can't entrust it to Childe! Please forgive Childe!"
Yan Lin was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly took off the dragon lock from his neck and put it in front of the old man, and said with a smile: "This is the longevity lock that my family customized for me, it can be divided into two halves, a dragon and a phoenix, this dragon lock has always been carried by the younger generations, and the phoenix lock has been handed over to Zining as a token of recognition as early as ten years ago."
The old man carefully picked up the dragon lock and looked at it carefully, and finally showed a satisfied look, handed the dragon lock back to Yan Lin, and said with a smile: "Since the identity has been confirmed, as long as Zi Ning agrees, my old bone naturally has no opinion."
"Xie Lu, Grandpa Xie!"
Yan Lin was overjoyed, and hurriedly took Zi Ning's hand on the side, and said, "Zi Ning, are you willing to marry me?"
"I do!" Zi Ning called softly, although she smiled, her tears couldn't stop dripping.
"Hahaha! Okay, I'm finally relieved."
The old man nodded as if he had sworn a solemn oath, and said to Yan Lin: "In the future, I will call you Lin'er directly, Lin'er, where is your family?
"As it should be"
Nodding with a smile, Yan Lin showed a sad look on his face and said, " Grandpa didn't know, I was the only son of Yan Bufan, the owner of Yanjiazhuang thirty miles away, but, ten years ago, a disaster befell my family out of thin air, hundreds of people in Yanjiazhuang, including my father were killed, only me and a housekeeper and a sister who escaped survived, when I was exiled to Xishui Town, fortunately I met Zining, otherwise I would have starved to death on the streets, and later I would not have been fortunate enough to join the Tianxia Society, and finally became the second disciple of the Tianxia Association to help the master Xiongba.
"So that's the case" The old man was a little embarrassed, mentioning other people's sad pasts, and he couldn't say anything more, so he had to be silent.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Zi Ning on the side said to Yan Lin, "Lin, do you have a senior brother named Qin Shuang?"
"Senior brother, have you met senior brother?"
Yan Lin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Zi Ning, it was really unexpected, he could get the news of the senior brother here, although he knew that the senior brother was not dead, but he didn't see the real person of the senior brother for a day, he couldn't let go of his heart for a day.
"Hmm!"
Zi Ning nodded, and said: "Some time ago, when my grandfather and I spent the night on the fishing boat, a mysterious man in white suddenly came, he was holding a silver sword, he was very elegant, and he accidentally saw Feng Suo, after talking, he realized that he was originally a big disciple of the world's leading tyrant, called Qin Shuang, and after the last time, he also knew about my relationship with you, Lin!
"No, I didn't meet the senior brother in the world."
Shaking his head, Yan Lin said: "Tell you a bad news, a few of our senior brothers and Xiongba have turned against each other, and you must not tell outsiders anything about me in the future, otherwise, it will definitely bring you unexpected disasters."
"Ah, you guys turned against the hero, why?" The old man looked panicked, and just married his granddaughter to him, this kind of thing happened.
Clenched his fist fiercely, Yan Lin gritted his teeth and said: " You don't know, my father-killing enemy is behind the mastermind is the Xiongba, he saw that my father has some reputation in the rivers and lakes, and wanted to recruit my father to do things for him, but how could my father be decent and surrender to him, and he was killed by Xiongba after the most decisive battle, and my third junior brother, his situation is similar to mine, his stepfather is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, and the most reluctant is also because he is unwilling to serve, and was killed by the Xiongba, my fourth junior brother and I are cousins, his father was a famous generation of sword kings in the martial arts, the king of the North Drinking Crazy Dao Nieren, but also because of the decisive battle with the Xiongba, he was accidentally dragged into the cave by the unicorn beast that ran out of the Lingyun Cave and finally died”。
"There is such a thing, Lin! You won't leave me, right! I don't want you to have an accident, I can't live without you" After Zi Ning listened, she suddenly thought of something, and then looked at Yan Lin with a nervous face.
Smiled and patted Zi Ning's palm, Yan Lin hurriedly comforted: "How could it be! To tell you the truth, my martial arts cultivation can kill me in the rivers and lakes, there are only a handful, don't worry about me, it's okay."
Hearing Yan Lin's words, the old man's hand swayed slightly, swallowed a sip of tea, and said to Yan Lin: "Lin'er, do you have plans in the future?" Xishui Village is a suitable place to live although it is poor but also has an elegant environment, if you live here in the future, the three of us can stay together, Zi Ning's eyes are not good, you can't walk around casually, you have to think about her."
"This Nature"
Yan Lin nodded and said, "I plan to marry Zi Ning tomorrow, and then, let's go to Yanjiazhuang together, where I have already instructed the housekeeper to renovate, and then ask some thugs to take care of the home and nursing home, and I will become another person to live with you again."
"Become someone else?" the old man asked, somewhat confused.
"Not bad!"
Yan Lin smiled slightly, and in the old man's half-believing gaze, he took out a white item from his arms, which was a magical character mask, Yan Lin lowered his head, put the human skin mask on his face, and then rubbed his hands violently.
After a moment, Yan Lin raised his head to look at the two of them and said with a smile: "How!
"Ahh
Zi Ning also noticed something, and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"Hahaha!"
Smiling, Yan Lin hurriedly explained: "Zi Ning! It's okay, I'm just wearing a human skin mask, this mask is magical, it can imitate anyone's appearance, and now my appearance is exactly the face of my biological father."
