Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword

It is time for Da Jing to leave.

Early the next morning, Xuan Qing came to say goodbye to Lin Rufei. Lin Rufei asked where he was going, and he replied that there was no specific place to go, and he would walk about everywhere. After all, the Yaoguang continent is so wide, and there are many scenery he has never seen.

Although I really like this monk, but the banquets everywhere, Lin Ru Fei did not force it, but when Xuan Qing was going to leave, he pulled out a piece of gold from his pocket and handed it to Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing saw the gold, and took a step back, as if she had seen a beast of flood, saying, "What does Lin Gongzi mean?"

Lin Rufei laughed: "I remember on the Xiliang Mountain, the monk gave me a bead, so ... this gold is also considered to owe the monk?"

Xuan Qing still wants to say something.

Lin Rufei waved his hand and interrupted what he wanted to say: "If the monk does not accept it, I will not force it, but this kind of politeness may seem a little rusty before you and me. Accept it. "

Having said that, Xuan Qing's resignation seemed rather unfriendly, and he sighed and reached for the gold. When Lin Rufei saw this scene, he felt relieved. No matter how powerful Xuan Qing is, he is also an individual. Although he lives in a temple and can spend his life, he is always a place with money. Lin Rufei hopes that at least the monk will occasionally have two spare money to buy a candy person.

Speaking of the sugar man, Lin Rufei remembered last night's situation, and his expression could not help but feel uncomfortable. Xuan Qing did not understand what Lin Rufei's expression meant, only thinking that he was reluctant to leave. So his hands were crossed and he gave a gift to Lin Rufei, saying that if there was a fate, the two would see each other again.

Lin Rufei sent Xuan Qing to the doorstep of the inn. He wanted to send him out of the city, but Xuan Qing refused, so Lin Rufei stood on the spot and watched Xuan Qing turned away. The back was like Lin Rufei when he first saw him. Free and easy.

What an interesting monk, Lin Rufei thought so.

As for Lin Rufei, after asking about Floating Flowers, he decided to leave for lunch, and Floating Flowers took advantage of this effort to take care of the carriage.

For lunch on weekdays, there is Su Zhai who belongs to Xuanqing. Today, there is no. Lin Rufei is not used to it. He picked up a piece of tofu and was about to put it in his mouth, but there was a rush of horseshoe noise at the door, and then he broke into a panic figure from the door.

"Where's Xuanqing Monk?" There was a rush of breath, and a layer of sweat was floating on his forehead. It was another protagonist Lin Rufei saw in the alley yesterday, Prince Dajing Daylight.

"Leave." Lin Rufei replied, "I left in the morning."

"Let's go?" Rui believes a little during the day, "He didn't go to the palace to say goodbye to my brother?"

"I don't know." Lin Rufei shook his head.

During the day, Rui cursed bad words, turned around and left, and Lin Rufei could see some embarrassing smell from his back. Yu Rui, they didn't know the situation of the two, and whispered whether the prince had resentment with the monk Xuanqing, or else how he looked like this.

"Probably hate it," Lin Rufei persevered.

"The monk should be careful," Yu Rui said, "this prince looks so fierce ..."

Lin Rufei also showed some smiles. This daytime Rui, known as the smiling tiger, encountered Xuanqing, which was just a matter of judgment. But looking at it this way is quite interesting.

After having lunch, Lin Rufei stepped onto the carriage and walked along the official road, heading south.

The further south, the more the core area of ​​the Yaoguang continent, the more developed the economy, and even the official roads at the foot are much wider. Wealthy merchants carrying goods and tourists traveling by horse can be seen everywhere.

Lin Rufei originally wanted to ride a horse, but opened the curtain and looked at the dazzling sun above her head, and then quietly retracted into the carriage. Seeing his own resentful expression, Fuhua was very funny. He handed the frozen plum soup in his hand to Lin Rufei and coaxed: "Master, don't worry, in a few months, the weather should be cool, and master It's just as chic to put on my cape and go horseback. "

Lin Rufei drank plum soup without a ride, and asked how many days he had to go to Henan.

Floating flower counts the days and says that if it is a day and night journey, it may take seven or eight days, but if you stop on the road, it will take more than ten days.

Lin Rufei made a sigh, saying that it was not in a hurry, and he went out to travel anyway, and there were more days and more days, and he could look around the scenery.

After walking for so few days, the local customs and feelings gradually changed. South Henan is not as open as the Dajing people, but agriculture is very developed and it likes pasta. Lin Rufei came all the way along with rice, but when he came to the south of Henan, he found that many inns have become the staple food. Most of them are cakes or pasta, but fortunately, they all taste good. Lin Ru Fei was pretty happy.

Even Yu Rui is not used to it, muttering that if she doesn't eat rice, she always feels empty in her stomach. Fuhua smiled and nodded her head, saying that you would come to take care of the son, or to enjoy the blessing. Yu Rui hummed, saying that the son must also want to eat rice, and asked Lin Rufei if he was.

"Yes, yes," Lin Rufei coaxed his maid, and said, "Let's find a rice shop in the evening."

"OK." Fuhua agreed.

After entering the city, I asked the past all the way, and finally found an inn with rice. The three went in to order some food and planned to spend the night here.

When Lin Rufei was sitting in the inn waiting, when he heard that a hawker was sipping and drinking watermelons for sale, he asked Yu Rui to go out to buy one and eat it as a summer fruit at night.

Yu Rui went out happily, but she didn't see her for a while, but she became noisy outside, as if someone had a dispute. Fuhua felt that the situation was not right, so she wanted to get up and take a look. Lin Rufei also stood up and said, "Let's go together."

Floating nodded.

The two walked outside the door and saw that it was Yu Rui who had an argument with them. They were raising their heads to argue with them. It was probably noisy, a fair white face flushed red, and their hands had held the sword at the waist. Handle-It seems that I want to draw a sword. And Yu Rui argued, but it was a tall man. The man had an eyebrow, a tall and mighty figure, and a large sword on his back. At this time, his muscular hands were holding his chest and bowing his head. Angry straight crested jade. Yu Rui was just a teenage girl with a petite figure. She was standing in front of a man like a baby.

"Why are you so unreasonable?" Yu Rui gritted her teeth. "You bought them all, what others eat!"

"I'm here first," the man said.

"Just don't share me!" Yu Rui said.

"I'm here first," the man said again.

"You--" Yu Rui was mad.

Floating flowers called out: "Yu Rui, what's wrong?"

"Sister Fuhua." Yu Rui saw that Fuhua came with her master, and rushed to the side of Fuhua immediately, saying angrily, "I didn't just say that I want to eat watermelon, I just came out immediately, who knows This person is about to take one step from me ... and said that I want to buy all the watermelons. I want to ask him to keep one for me, and he won't. "The hawker pushed a small cart of watermelons, weighing hundreds of pounds. Yu Rui just wanted one, but he didn't agree with anything, and talking, Yu Rui quarreled with him. The man said nothing else, just four words: I came first.

Almost did not pass Yu Ruiqi past.

Lin Rufei listened to the whole thing, but it didn't matter, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay. If he wants to buy it, just buy it. After we have dinner, we will go shopping on the street to see if there is any other place to sell."

Yu Rui bit her lower lip: "So many watermelons, is he finished eating, and the weather is hot, and this watermelon will be kept for at least two days."

The man next to him heard Fuhua's words and said, "Of course I finished eating."

Yu Rui said, "How many of you eat?"

The man pointed at himself.

Yu Rui stared: "You eat alone? You can have so much alone? I don't believe--"

The man spread his hands and made a gesture that you could not believe me.

Yu Rui gritted her teeth and said, "I know that you intentionally straightened me, hum, so many watermelons, if you finish eating, I will help you pay!"

The man said, "Take it seriously?"

Yu Rui said, "Naturally take it seriously!"

After listening to the man, he rolled up his sleeves and actually planned to eat. The hawker selling melon smiled. He was also seductive. He could see that these people were dressed well, and he had sabers on his waist. It won't be bad. So he simply helped the man cut up the watermelon next to him and sipped, "How about a visitor, my watermelon is sweet enough!"

The man said, "Yes, sweet."

The watermelon broke the green melon skin, exposing the water-red melon, with crystal sand in it, looking crisp and sweet. Yu Rui sniffed the sweet aroma in the air, and swallowed the water, I couldn't move my eyes on the watermelon. The man had a big mouth, and a few mouthfuls were half a melon. However, he didn't seem to be very rude, but showed a bit of wild taste.

Fuhua frowned, always felt that the man was teasing Yu Rui, frowning and frowning to say something, but was stopped by Lin Rufei, Lin Rufei shook his head with a smile and said, "Look It doesn't matter if he eats. "

Floating flowers had to be.

The man was eating melon extremely fast, and soon a pile of melon skins piled up next to him. Those water-melon watermelons entered his belly, but it seemed as if he had entered a black hole without an abyss, without any shadow. The speed of the man has not changed from beginning to end, and the people around him are stunned. After a while, a lot of people watching the crowd gathered near this watermelon stand. When the man finished eating one, the crowd would cheer loudly, it was really lively.

Floating flowers are almost going to look silly. She has never seen a person with such an appetite. A few hundred pounds of watermelon has entered his mouth, but it seems like a mouthpiece of a teething sacrifice. One after another, even the breathing effort . In a blink of an eye, the watermelon stand bottomed out, with only a few left.

Is he really finished? Yu Rui dumbfounded this sweet potato skin and looked at the man with the eyes of a monster.

Lin Rufei saw the appearance of Yu Rui, but was very unkind to think it was a little funny.

"You ... Why are you so powerful." Yu Rui looked at the man, "So many melons, don't you support it?" She was full with two teeth every day, and the three of the master floating flowers together, I barely managed to eat half ...

The man seemed to be amused by the question of floating flowers, a little smile appeared in his eyes, and shook his head.

"Oh, okay." Yu Rui gave up, raising her eyebrows and downcast, "I was short-sighted. Someone really can eat this ... I thought you were deliberately asking me for trouble." She has given up Now, I plan to buy money from the purse to buy this stall of watermelons.

Who knew that when the man ate the last one, he patted his belly and said seriously: "I'm full, I can't eat anymore."

Seeing the roar of the crowd, the man didn't care, turned and asked the hawker how much the watermelon he ate.

The hawker said with a smile, and the man began to happily pay.

"Wait, wait." Yu Rui said, "This is the only one left, can't you finish it?"

The man said, "I can't finish it."

Yu Rui apparently didn't believe it. She bit her lower lip and tangled, "You ... you can't finish eating?"

The man laughed, "I can't finish it."

Although Yu Rui is young, but she is not a fool. Where can I not see that the man intentionally left one, she felt a little dazed for a while and felt embarrassed. After all, she just used a villain's heart to think of a gentleman's belly. This man is a deliberate finder.

The man paid the money, turned and walked away. Yu Rui looked at the watermelon and a sweet potato peel left in the end, and stayed for a while, but finally Lin Rufei patted her head with a smile and asked her to hold the watermelon back. .

The impact of this incident on Yu Rui was really great. The little girl was depressed all night and remembered the appearance of the man in the day when she ate watermelon. She sighed and said that there are so many strange people in this world.

"Yeah." Lin Rufei laughed. "People treat you as a kid."

Yu Rui said, "I'm not a kid! I'm fifteen!"

Ordinary people, a 15-year-old girl should be worthy of the family, but Yu Rui is a five-state sword repair, so the marriage is not in a hurry.

"Yeah, fifteen." Fuhua sighed. "You also know that you are fifteen. Will you be more stable in your future work? If you meet someone who doesn't give you face today, wouldn't you take the face of the young master? Lost it? "

Yu Rui bowed her head and confessed that she was too reckless.

Lin Rufei didn't care. He smiled and said, "It's okay, they don't know me anyway, and occasionally lose face, and they won't lose a lot of meat. Moreover, who can think that this person can eat hundreds of pounds of watermelon in one breath? "

Fuhua shook her head and said that the person would not be a simple person, and the giant sword carried behind him was not ordinary. Such an epee is rare in the world. The only one I've seen so far is Gu Feiyu's heavy front.

"Oh?" Lin Rufei became interested, "He is also a great swordsman?"

"Should be," said Fuhua. "I don't see the depth of his cultivation, then his cultivation has at least seven realms, or he is full of treasure ... In short, he will not be a provocative character."

Lin Rufei appeared thoughtful.

That night, Lin Rufei, who was back in the room, casually talked to Gu Xuan about the incident. Gu Xuandu, while listening to Lin Rufei, ate freshly cut watermelon and smiled and said, "This watermelon is so sweet."

"Really." Lin Rufei said, "I'll try it, too." He said, and then went over, took a bite of the watermelon in Gu Xuandu's hand, chewed and nodded, "It's really good."

Gu Xuandu lowered his head and looked at the tooth marks on his watermelon, his expression was unknown.

"What did you say about that person?" Lin Rufei said.

Gu Xuandu thought for a moment: "Although I don't know that person, the sword has some impression."

"Oh? Do you know his sword?" Lin Rufei became interested.

"Um." Gu Xuandu said, "The name of the sword should be Qian Jun. It has a history of hundreds of years. I have also seen the swordsman who made the sword. He is a lecherous old man, but although the name of the sword is Qianjun, It's not the style of an epee. "

Lin Rufei said: "Not an epee?"

Gu Xuandu shook his head: "Qian Jun has something special."

After Lin Rufei's inquiries, I learned that although this junior is only an epee in the hands of an ordinary swordsman, if it is recognized by the swordsman, it will be turned into thousands of small blades and turned into a sword array to defeat the enemy Strangling. According to Gu Xuandu, Qianjun is a clever sword, which is very different from its bulky appearance.

Listening to Gu Xuandu's description of Qian Jun, Lin Rufei felt that this Qian Jun was somewhat similar to the man he saw in the day. They all seem rough, but they are as careful as dust.

Chatting with the sky, Lin Rufei fell asleep in the company of Gu Xuandu, and fell asleep until the next day, before they were stunned by floating flowers and ate breakfast.

Today is also a hurry, so after eating, Lin Rufei got on the carriage.

The floating flower waved the whip, went out of the town and continued to move forward, but the carriage woke for a while, but heard the sound of a hoof hoof coming from the side, Lin Rufei thought that someone was passing by them, and did not take it to heart. Who knew that the sound of the horseshoe followed them.

"Who's following us?" Yu Rui wondered, "I'll go and see." She lifted the curtains and went out for a moment, and soon came back again, with a doubtful expression on her face when she returned.

"Who is it?" Lin Rufei asked.

"It was the man who ate watermelon we met yesterday." Yu Rui said, "... He was following us, and would he stop and ask what he was going to do?"

Lin Rufei thought about it and said, "Ask me."

So Fuhua stopped the car, and as expected, the man stopped as soon as their car stopped.

Fuhua approached him and asked him what he meant, and he smiled: "You may not believe it, I just happen to be with you."

"Just the way?" Of course, Fuhua wouldn't believe it. There is no such thing as a coincidence in the world. "You should ride a single horse faster."

The man shook his head: "Although it is true that a single horse is faster under normal circumstances, the sword on my back is too heavy, and the horse cannot run fast."

The floating flower was speechless, and I didn't know what to do. When looking at Lin Rufei for help, Lin Rufei heard the conversation between the two, beckoning at Floating, and signaled her to return.

"That being the case, he wants to follow along." Lin Rufei said, "in case he is really on the way."

Fuhua sighed: "This is too far-fetched."

Lin Rufei said: "It's okay, he should have nothing to do with us."

Fuhua had no choice but to care about him.

They went all the way, nothing happened on either side, nothing happened, and they were getting closer and closer to southern Henan. After passing through a very desolate official road, he finally reached his destination, and Lin Rufei planned to rest for half a day before continuing on his way.

It was only after they entered the city that the man who had been following them disappeared.

Lin Rufei arrived at the rest inn and asked for a pot of herbal tea. He planned to cool down and asked what happened to Xiao Er's mouth.

Xiao Er heard that they were coming from the north, but she was surprised, and said, "Guest, did you come from the official north?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Lin Rufei thought Xiao Er looked different.

Xiao Er said: "His ... you didn't meet anything along the way, what happened?"

When Lin Rufei heard the words, all of them looked blank, and they didn't know what Xiao Er meant.

Xiao Er didn't understand a few people, so he had to explain, saying that some demon had emerged somehow on the official road on the north side recently, and had eaten a lot of businessmen, and it was strange to say that they were nothing to other places Interest, just run rampant in that official way. For this reason, the locals are afraid to go that way. Only outsiders who don't know will take the risk.

"The luck of several guest officers is really good." Xiao Er was still sighing. "A few days ago, I heard that those demon from other places were eaten by the demon, and no bones were found."

Fuhua said strangely, "Is such a thing nobody cares about?"

Xiao Er smiled bitterly: "It was supposed to be, but the demons seemed particularly powerful. He sent a few disciples to the past, but was seriously injured."

Lin Rufei said: "So it is."

"Yeah." Xiao Er shook his head and sighed. "The world is not very peaceful. Every guest officer should be careful when walking in rivers and lakes."

"Thank you." Lin Rufei handed a piece of broken silver to Xiao Er. Xiao Er took it with joy and turned away.

After Xiao Er's remarks, Lin Rufei remembered the man who had to follow behind their carriage in the past few days. It seemed that his mind was really delicate, even to strangers who had only one side.

The rest was almost finished. Lin Rufei explained a few words about the floating flower Yurui, and went shopping alone on the street outside. This small town is not big, but the street is quite lively. I can see what I have never seen before. A lot of rare things. Lin Rufei's footsteps stopped in front of a stall selling fried pancakes. The fried pancakes looked very delicious. The dough was filled with green onions and meat fillings. They were fried in a pan and swelled. Open up, exuding a strong aroma. Remove it with chopsticks, filter the oil and eat.

Lin Rufei bought one and was about to put it in his mouth, but Yu Guang noticed a familiar figure, the man who had followed them for a few days.

The man was still carrying the epee and was watching him with interest ... the scallion cake in his hand.

"Eat?" Lin Rufei looked at him like this, and asked conditionedly.

"It's not suitable, you just bought it." Even so, the man has stepped forward to Lin Rufei's face, his eyes looking at the oil cake are even more scorching.

Lin Rufei laughed: "It's okay, I'll buy another one." He handed the oil cake to the man, and the man took it without mind, and bit his mouth open. He was swallowed by his two mouthfuls of pancakes, and after eating it, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He came to the boss and said, "Boss, wrap it all for me." After saying this, I seemed to think something was wrong, and after thinking about it, I remembered the side Standing Lin Rufei pointed to him, "Leave one for him."

This situation was so familiar, Lin Rufei couldn't help laughing, and said, "Thank you." Remember to leave one for him.

"Don't mind, that's what I eat," said the man. "You have to eat in one breath, or you are always upset if you owe it."

Lin Rufei said, "Yes, you haven't asked your name?"

The man replied, "Ho Vientiane."

When Lin Rufei heard the name, she said, "What is your family?"

He Vientiane said, "Forget it? What's the matter with my family?"

Lin Rufei arched his hand and gave a gift, saying: "In the lower Kunlun sword school, Lin Jialin Rufei."

He Vientiane froze for a moment, it seemed that Lin Rufei was actually the Lin family, and he suddenly hesitated in his tone: "Lin Gongzi ... was here to send Kunlun Sword invitation?"

"Yes," Lin Rufei laughed.

"That's a coincidence," said He Wanxiang. "Looks like we're on the way, so why not go together next?"

Lin Rufei said: "Of course you can."

It's probably a day or two from here to He's house. It is naturally good to be with He's family.
