Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword - Chapter 64
When Lin Rufei returned, Fuhua was discussing with Yu Rui what to eat for breakfast tomorrow morning. When they saw Lin Rufei coming in from the door, before they could say hello, they saw the people behind him, and they both froze.
“Aren’t you surprised?” Lin Rufei joked. “I just went out to eat a loaf of bread, so I picked up someone and returned.”
“I don’t know the names of the two girls in the He Family or Vientiane.” He Vientiane made a ceremony at the floating flower Yu Rui, and asked with a smile.
Fuhua said: “My name is Fuhua, and her name is Yu Rui. I am the maid of the young master.” As soon as she heard the name He Vientiane, she guessed that he had something to do with the He family. “This son, what family Who is it? “
“I am the third child of He’s family,” said He Wanxiang. “He is free, my brother.”
He Jiawei is well-known, and the most famous of them is the freehand that has been cultivated by the Eight Realms. It is said that in the year he was born, He’s iron-gold walnut tree produced three iron-gold walnuts, and each of them was picked by his own hands. After eating the walnuts, He freehand increased his skills greatly. From Liujing Break through eight realms.
When it comes to He Family, one person and one thing must be mentioned, what freehand is that person, and the iron-gold walnut tree is that item.
It is rumored that this iron-gold walnut tree was planted by Tianjun hundreds of years ago, and it was a fruit of several decades, and the fruit that was produced each time was only two or three, each of which was extremely precious. These iron-gold walnuts are great for spiritual practice, but only those who are valued by the walnut tree can remove them. Counting over the centuries of the He family, the iron-gold walnuts did not bear any more than three fruits, which were the three fruits that made He Yiyi this timeless material.
Lin Rufei told Fuhua Yurui that He Vientiane was on their way, and the next trip would be four together. Fuhua smiled and said yes, Yu Rui looked a little embarrassed, probably still thinking about the misunderstanding a few days ago. He Wanxiang didn’t force Yu Rui to speak. His words were not too much. In addition, with his strong and tall figure, sitting there always seemed to be a little difficult to get along with. But after the little things before, Lin Rufei felt that He Wanxiang was an interesting person.
On the third day, He Wanxiang went to the post and returned his horse. He sat in the carriage with Lin Rufei. The carriage was very spacious. The three of them sat in it and did not look crowded. It was Yu Rui’s intense tension. Neither dare to move or talk in the corner, like a little mouse who meets a big cat, and glanced at He Vientiane from time to time, the expression was cute and funny.
Lin Rufei knew that Yu Rui was a nerd in nature, so she did not embarrass his little maid, and talked about He’s family with He Wanxiang.
It was just that He Wanxiang mentioned He’s family, but he seemed hesitant and hesitated in his words.
Lin Rufei was a little weird, so she asked directly: “Is there anything inconceivable about He Gongzi?”
He Vientiane said: “Lin Gongzi is really a smart man. Actually … we have a strange family style.”
strange? Xuan Qing mentioned this before, but Lin Rufei didn’t take it seriously. When he saw He Wanxiang, he felt that he was very thoughtful in life, so he couldn’t think of any strange place in any house.
Who knew what Vientiane was talking about, it was a little embarrassing, and said, “Our family, because it was moved from the far southwest of the country, so the family is very tough, and it highly respects the use of force.”
Lin Rufei said: “It’s also … not surprising, right?”
He Wanxiang touched his nose and said, “Well, in fact, this thing is not easy to say, and he will know when he goes.”
He said this way, but Lin Rufei was curious about what the He family would look like in order to let He Wanxiang show such a look.
The carriage went for two days, and finally reached He’s territory, Qiongcheng.
However, the children of He’s family are not in the city, but on a mountain soaring into the cloud with a stone name outside the city.
It stands to reason that this area of southern Henan is a plain area, at most there are hills. This mountain peak stands there, and it looks out of place with the surrounding low terrain.
“This mountain is so strange.” Yu Rui walked in the carriage for a few days, and finally dared to speak, and raised the curtain and blinked, “Only a lone peak …”
“Weird is normal,” He Wanxiang answered, “because the mountain was moved over.”
“Come here?” Yu Rui stared. “Who moved here?”
“Tianjun.” He Wanxiang smiled and told Yu Rui their family history. “At that time, the ancestor of the He family was a friend of Tianjun. On the day of the wedding, Tianjun moved a mountain from the southwest as a gift. Ancestors, the most powerful on this mountain is an iron-gold walnut tree with a life span of 10,000 years … My ancestors loved the gift so much that they ordered all the children of the He family to move to the mountain. Since then, the He family has taken It’s a pride to live on a stone blade. “
“Sent a mountain?” Yu Rui listened, “Tianjun is too great.”
He Wanxiang also showed his fascination: “Yeah, if you can have one-tenth the style of Tianjun, this life is worth it.”
Several people chatted, and the carriage finally reached the foot of the Stone Blade Mountain. Lin Rufei wanted to go to the dome for repairs and then officially visit tomorrow, but He Wanxiang waved his hand, saying that his family never pays attention to these, directly When I came to the door, I was talking about letting the floating flower go in directly from the gate, saying that he was there, and no one dared to embarrass Lin Rufei.
Lin Rufei said: “Then he troubles him.”
He Wanxiang nodded: “Lin Gongzi is sitting in the carriage. I will take care of everything.”
Lin Rufei said well.
The carriage hovered along the mountain road and circled up, and soon reached the gate. The guard at the gate reached out and stopped the carriage. He asked who Vientiane lifted the curtain and said, “It’s me.”
“It turned out that the three sons came back!” The guard asked at a glance when he saw He Vientiane, “how come back in a carriage?”
He Vientiane hummed, without elaborating.
The vigil made a gesture, and someone opened the wooden door and put them in.
Through the car curtain, Lin Rufei also saw the appearance of He’s family, and he was surprised that He did not look like a wealthy family at first glance. At first glance, he looked like a primitive tribal village, without a decent one. Building, the house is either wood or bamboo, not even a stone house. What makes Lin Rufei feel the most strange is the He family, who is walking in the village. They are tall, with broad eyebrows and deep eyes. Almost everyone has swords on their waists. They are murderous, even women. in this way. If you don’t know that you have entered this place by mistake, I’m afraid you will accidentally enter a robber’s den.
Lin Rufei’s head is not too short, but he’s pale and weak. If he walks in this group, I’m afraid it’s a bit weak Liu Fufeng, not to mention the jade of Lin Rufei’s chest. It really looks like a cute doll.
Seeing the outside scene, the three masters and servants fell silent in silence.
He Wanxiang seemed to have expected all this, and coughed, saying, “Lin Gongzi need not be too nervous. Our family is actually more fierce.”
Lin Rufei just wanted to talk, and the carriage suddenly stopped, and a rough voice came from outside: “He Vientiane, where did your mother go to cheat such a beautiful girl to be a groom for you, you also Excuse me! “
He Wanxiang broke his head and scolded him back politely: “Put your mother’s dog smelly fart, I just invited a fairy to come back, and it has nothing to do with your scam. Don’t talk, there are VIPs in the car, I am disturbed Beware Brother will beat you up again. “
Lin Rufei saw the look of the man across the gap. The man’s eyebrows were a bit similar to He Wanxiang, but his head was even higher than He Vientiane. The muscles on his arms were bulging, like a hard stone. He said, “Noble guest, what noble guest? I haven’t seen the noble guest for a long time, and you should let me open your eyes.” Then he wanted to raise the curtain, but was struck by the palm of his hand.
There was a loud bang, and He Wanxiang’s palm seemed to hit a hard rock, and the man screamed, and slammed his hand back. “You are really hitting!”
He Vientiane said, “Do you think I’m kidding?”
The man said: “I don’t agree! You roll down, I want to fight you!”
He Vientiane said, “I have no time to ignore you, and come to see me at night in a fight.” He winked at Fu Hua, signaled that she didn’t need to care about this person anymore.
The floating flower sounded, and the carriage drove out again.
The man watched the carriage go away, narrowed his eyes while standing in place, and then murmured, “Noble guest, who can be counted as a noble in any hand. It is Kunlun. The head is coming? Hey … He Wanxiang is so lucky that he was met by him. “
Under the guidance of He Vientiane, the floating flower drove the carriage to a wooden house. The wooden house also looked just repaired, and it was wider than the house next to it. He Vientiane said, “Lin Gongzi, this house is where I live. If you don’t dislike these days, stay here, I’ll just make up with my brother. “
Lin Rufei: “How is this good?” The guest came and drove the owner out of his own home, which was a bit ridiculous.
He Wanxiang waved his hands indifferently, and smiled, “Lin Gongzi, you don’t know. In the house, the least important thing is the house.”
Lin Rufei said, “Why is this statement?”
He Wanxiang sold a key and said, “You’ll know when you live.” After he said this, he hesitated for a moment. Let me be together, no accident. “
Lin Rufei laughed and said, “Is there such an exaggeration?”
He Wanxiang said seriously: “It’s more exaggerated than you think.”
After that, He Wanxiang and the servant in the house told him to leave after a few words, and let Lin Rufei rest first. He went to inform the owner Lin Rufei about the visit.
Lin Rufei nodded and said yes.
He Wanxiang’s residence is very consistent with his own style, simple and rude, there are only a few practical furniture in the room, without any decorations, it is simpler than the inn. What Lin Rufei didn’t want to understand was that the servants who served He Wanxiang were taller than him. Although they were not as strong as Vientiane, they were also powerful men.
Yu Rui has been obscured by these strong men, and she huddled in a chair, muttering where the He family came from, all of them so big.
Fuhua touched Yu Rui’s head, and said, “Yeah, who made you so small, one person is almost three of you.”
“I’m not small.” Yu Rui immediately raised her head and raised her chest, and revealed the sabre on her waist. “I’m terrible.”
“Yes, yes, my house is awesome.” Lin Rufei laughed.
Yu Rui said: “My son, you laugh at me again.”
Lin Rufei spread his hands innocently.
Fuhua couldn’t help laughing.
After getting on the carriage for ten days, Lin Rufei was a little lacking, so the troubled servant of He Wanxiang burned some hot water and wanted to take a bath to relieve his fatigue.
The weather was hot and the water temperature didn’t have to be too high. The tub filled with water was moved to the house. Lin Rufei lowered his head and unbuttoned his clothes. Who knew that just after taking off his coat, he heard a loud noise from outside, as if something had collapsed, even the ground was shaking.
Lin Rufei was startled, walked to the window a few steps, opened the curtains and looked up. I saw the dust outside the house, accompanied by fierce fighting and cursing, the two figures entangled back and forth in the sky and the sky, each time and time, but each impact was accompanied by a huge sound.
“I ’m a bear in my mother, I stabbed you, my grandma.” A series of swear words with accents shook the earth. Between the sword and the fire, the two did not forget to use words to each other. The attack, Lin Rufei heard it straight, and although he didn’t understand it, he knew that it was definitely not a good word. What he admired most was that the two men scolded a series of bad words, but did not repeat them.
“It’s amazing,” Lin Rufei admired.
“Well, I haven’t seen it for hundreds of years, why is this look like this?” Gu Xuan didn’t know when he appeared beside Lin Rufei, looking sad, he glanced at Lin Rufei, but noticed his little boy’s face It was a look of longing, and he immediately became vigilant, saying, “Little leek, stop listening, dirty ears.”
“Really?” Lin Rufei didn’t even realize it. He felt that this style of play was quite interesting. Although rude, it had a unique taste of rivers and lakes. “I don’t seem to say bad words …”
Gu Xuandu immediately said, “What swear words are there to learn!”
Lin Rufei said, “What if someone scolds me?”
Gu Xuandu gritted his teeth and said, “He pulled his sword and chopped his head.”
Lin Rufei thought for a while: “So too.”
Gu Xuandu just let out a sigh of relief, and there was a little more gloom in his expression, but what he was thinking was watching hundreds of years ago someone swearing from He’s family, and said with relish, although only Learned a sentence, but it was enough to give him a headache. This history can never be repeated, Gu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
It was still dark outside, and it seemed that it couldn’t stop for a while. Lin Rufei wanted to continue watching, but was urged by Gu Xuan to take a bath, saying that it would be cold without washing water, and it would be easy to catch the cold.
Lin Rufei had to put down the curtains and reluctantly went to take a bath. During this period, Gu Xuandu deliberately chatted with Lin Rufei to delay time. After Lin Rufei finished washing, he had finished the outside.
When Lin Rufei opened the curtains again, he finally understood why He’s all wooden houses. I saw that the neatly arranged wooden houses just before my eyes were involved in the aftermath of the fight. At this time, it had become a ruin. . And the people around me have already seen such a scene, and they are still doing their own things, without even giving an extra look. The two who were still fighting just now are sitting on the ground panting, and do not do anything. They just open their mouths to ruthlessly abuse the other side, and from time to time they pick up broken stones from the ground and throw them over, watching them. They are not very young, and they look like young people, but they seem to be very skilled in fighting and quarreling.
After a while, a tall woman came outside, holding a teenager’s ear in one hand, and stabbed the two of them back. She did not forget to scold her, but the dark teenager who was just hit was held by the woman. He didn’t dare to resist like a chicken.
Lin Rufei looked with interest.
Gu Xuandu gave a long sigh, showing a very headache expression. He found that it was not a good thing that time passed too long. The old people were all remembered to wear a beautiful gauze, and they actually forgot the vice of the He family. ……Ugh……
After Lin Rufei came out of the bathroom, he saw both Fuhua and Yu Rui sitting by the window in shock, apparently shocked by the scene just now. Seeing him come out, he retracted his eyes.
“What the **** are they scolding, why can’t I understand?” Yu Rui murmured, “It’s as if every word is known, and together, I don’t know what it means …”
Fuhua calmly said: “It’s definitely not a good word, good boys don’t learn it.”
Yu Rui said: “But it’s quite imposing.”
Floating for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
All three were very interested in this, and they just discussed it. When they were discussing the fierce point, He Wanxiang suddenly appeared outside the door, but his expression looked slightly strange, and said, “What are you talking about?”
“Oh, talking about what they said.” Lin Rufei said with a smile, “This is your local language, right? Funny.”
He Wanxiang faced helplessly, saying that he should not be surprised, they are so used to it. When I was in the West Xinjiang, swear words were not so rich. Later, I came to the Central Plains and learned a lot from the locals. The content of this abuse was even richer. The owner also wanted to manage it, but No success.
Lin Rufei waved his hand to signal that he didn’t mind.
“I have talked to my eldest brother and father about Lin Gongzi,” said He Wanxiang. “They also blame me for not telling the family earlier, and said that they invited Lin Gongzi to host a banquet at night.”
“Okay.” Lin Rufei nodded. “Trouble you.”
“Lin Gongzi is polite.” He Vientiane said.
It was still early in the evening, and when He Wanxiang saw that Lin Rufei was okay, he took the three of them out and looked around, but the three of them walked inside Hejiabao, and they were all incompatible with each other. Lin Rufei didn’t feel it when he came in the carriage. He walked outside and looked at the strong men who were eight feet long. Lin Rufei seemed to have entered the giant country. The most amazing thing is that the women are not short, and they are physically fit, almost as tall as Lin Rufei. He Wanxiang saw Lin Rufei’s expression in amazement and explained with a smile that the family of the He family was inherited and the second was related to the exercises they practiced. If they practiced from an early age, their physique would be much larger than ordinary people. All the disciples in Hejiabao lived here, so almost all of them practiced this kind of practice, and then they had the sight.
Yu Rui listened very fascinated, saying that there are still such powerful exercises in the world, she is fifteen, she hasn’t grown up …
He Wanxiang listened to the corner of his mouth, reached out and gently pressed Yu Rui’s head, and waited for Yu Rui to look at it blankly before he said seriously: “If you want to practice, I can teach you.”
“Really?” Yu Rui was surprised. “But I’m not a family …”
“It’s okay,” said He Wanxiang. “This is just the basic exercises, but you’re already fifteen. I’m afraid it won’t work well at this time.”
Yu Rui compared her hands to the top of her head, and found that she had to lift her toes to reach Vientiane’s chest. She was so discouraged that she drew her head and said, “Why am I so short?”
Fuhua laughed: “Who told you to pick and choose something, even more picky than young master.”
Yu Rui said, “But, but …”
Lin Rufei saw her aggrieved look, and could not help but reach out and slap her face, and said, “Okay, let Fuhua make more bone soup for you next time, but don’t be afraid to get tired and drink more. “
When several people spoke, Lin Rufei noticed a special building in the middle of Hejiabao. The building was incompatible with the surrounding wooden houses. It was a brick and tile structure. From the appearance, it seemed to be a shrine. Only a lot of heavy armored guards stood near the shrine, the atmosphere was very different from the surrounding.
“That’s He’s shrine.” He Wanxiang explained with Lin Rufei. “He’s iron-gold walnut book is planted in the shrine. Anyway, it’s all right now, would you like to see him?”
Lin Rufei said: “Can it? Is it not convenient?” Through He Wanxiang’s description, he also heard the place of this iron-gold walnut tree, although he was also curious about what the walnut tree produced. It looks like, but I always feel that it is not appropriate to see this precious exotic treasure.
“It’s okay.” He Wanxiang raised his chin slightly, and said, “There is no one in the world who can take away the walnut tree from which family. Besides, Lin is a noble guest of our family. Your brother is my elder brother when he travels. He also saw the iron-gold walnut tree at the reception. “His tone was faint, but the strong self-confidence contained in it, Lin Rufei naturally listened to it clearly, also, this generation of He family was particularly enthusiastic and came out of the Eight Realms. Why do you carelessly, not many people dare to mess with their family.
At the entrance of the shrine, the guards saw what they were, and they put them in directly.
After entering the ancestral hall, Lin Rufei saw the neatly arranged Hejia tablets and the incense burner that was neatly maintained. He Wanxiang asked Lin Rufei to wait for a while, then he took out three incense sticks and lit a worship to his ancestors. Then stood up and Tong Lin Rufei explained that this was their rule. To see the iron and gold walnut tree, they must worship the ancestors first, and thank the ancestors for their shelter.
After the worship, He Wanxiang led Lin Rufei to the backyard of the shrine. He said that the iron and gold walnut tree was growing inside.
Lin Rufei followed He Vientiane, passed through a few doors, and finally reached the backyard. This backyard is very wide and surrounded by gray brick walls. The entire yard is empty. Only the most central part of the yard is full of trees. Look at the mediocre green trees. This green tree is not too tall, and the trunk is only the thickness of an adult arm. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary walnut tree. However, if you look closely, you will find a faint layer of gold on the trunk. The roots stretched upwards and covered every branch, as if glowing.
He Wanxiang said: “This iron-gold walnut tree is also called a sassafras tree, because it takes decades to produce each result. For it, it only takes a moment, but for us, it is a lifetime. This year is a good year. This walnut tree gave birth to six iron-gold walnuts. When the ancestor sacrifice comes next year, our generation of disciples will be able to try to remove it. My elder brother said that if we are lucky, our family will be the second one. What a freehand. “
Lin Rufei saw the iron-gold walnuts that He Wanxiang said in the hidden bushes. The walnuts were not big, but the color was very beautiful. Under the sunlight, it showed a pure golden color, just like in the sky. The golden sun.
I just don’t know why. When I saw this walnut tree, Lin Rufei developed a familiar feeling, as if … where I was, I saw this tree.
Immediately, Lin Rufei felt that he had thought too much. He had been on Kunlun for more than 20 years. How could he see a sap tree thousands of miles away?
