Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword

Lin Rufei's yard is large and surrounded by wooden fences. The yard is planted with lush and neat vegetation. At this time, it was Shengchun. The black soil was covered with a layer of green grass and stepped on it, as if on a soft carpet. In the center of the yard, there are various trees blooming with stamens, including pears and cherry blossoms, all of which are beautiful flowers, which is a lively scene. There is only a thin peach tree in the corner, which is incompatible with the surroundings. The peach flower is not much taller than people. The branches are slender and dry. On the whole tree, there is a peach flower bud that has not yet bloomed.

Lin Bianyu just put Lin Rufei on the ground, and Lin Rufei took a step towards the peach tree. When he reached the tree, he looked at the thin peach tree and sighed sighing, "How can it not grow up? … ”He stretched out his hand, stroking the rough trunk a few times, and sighed in a coaxing tone,“ Well, it does n’t grow up when it grows up, but it ’s better than last year. A lot. "

The tree species of this peach tree was picked up by Lin Rufei many years ago. At that time, he was still a young man, but it was only a short time. He had reached the weak crown. The peach tree was still thin and small, and the wind could shake it. Poor looks. After saying this, Lin Rufei thought of something, and quickly looked at Lin Fanyu, who was standing beside him, and said, "Second brother, don't change my peach tree."

Lin Bianyu was immediately amazed by his brother's thoughts, and he was not surprised: "This peach tree is not big, isn't it good to change one?"

Lin Rufei said: "Not everything can be changed."

Lin Bianyu laughed: "I only know that what makes you unhappy is not a good thing."

Lin Rufei showed helplessness, knowing that there was something wrong with his second brother. Lin Bianyu's personality seemed to be mild. In fact, it was the most stubborn one among them. Lin Rufei had to reiterate repeatedly, saying I like this peach tree very much, so that my second brother must not touch it.

Lin Fanyu bowed his head slightly, which was the answer to Lin Rufei's words. Lin Rufei was relieved when he saw the situation.

The yard and the attic here have been cleaned for a long time. Even if Lin Rufei hasn't moved in for a long time, he still keeps clean when he leaves.

Lin Rufei entered the attic and asked the second brother to do his own work. Lin Bianyu said before he left that some outsiders had come. If Lin Rufei didn't like it, he would let those people go down the mountain.

Lin Rufei was busy.

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be false, Lin Bianyu didn't say much any more, and turned around, but there was a little shame in the eyebrows, which looked rather uneasy.

He just came out of the yard, as if to say to himself: "You are so petting?"

As soon as his words fell, a breeze blew past his cheek, and the surrounding scenery was twisted for a moment as if burned by flames. A man in a black uniform appeared suddenly beside the road. From his eyebrows, He is somewhat similar to Lin Bianyu, except that the lines are stiffer and frost is in the black eyes.

"That's the nature of Xiao Chi." The man said, "Who doesn't want him to be a stubborn, arrogant little ancestor?" Lin Rufei's nickname is Xiao Chi, which is taken from the meaning of Changsheng Chi.

Lin Bianyu said coldly, "Why isn't he?"

They are the Lin family's most vulnerable, and Lin Rufei, the Lin family's sister-in-law, is the most favored of the Lin family. Even if he is a waste person who cannot raise the sword, what he sees should be the best. It should be the disregard of the little overlord's temperament, and now he is so embarrassed that it makes him really distressed to see it, but then he has some inexplicable anger.

The man raised an eyebrow: "Longsheng nine sons are all different. You are overbearing. You can't think that Xiao Chi is the same as you."

Lin Bianyu hummed coldly, stopped talking, and walked away.

The man didn't stop him, just glanced in the direction of Lin Rufei's yard and sighed again.

Lin Rufei did not know that his two brothers had a quarrel because of himself. He was the youngest of the Lin family. He had two brothers and an older sister on it, but he was different from his leisurely one. They were all the arrogant sons of a thousand .

The road of sword repair is a hundred times more sinister than the ordinary path of the immortal, and what they have experienced is ten million times more difficult.

On the attic, Yu Rui heard that Lin Rufei was back, and hurriedly took a long skirt and ran to the front hall with a broken step.

"Master, master!" When the 13-year-old girl was the most lively, her voice was crisp and euphemistic like Huang Huang, and the listener's mood improved, she screamed and rushed towards Lin Rufei. "Master, you're finally back!"

"Well, come back." Lin Rufei said, he caught his maid, "It's so big-I can't catch you."

"Master!" Yu Rui was coquettish.

Lin Rufei said, "Go and make hot tea for me, my master is thirsty."

"Oh!" Yu Rui is the child's heart, and when he heard Lin Rufei's words, he jumped to make tea. Lin Rufei's personal servants were only these two maids, named floating flower Yu Rui. Fuhua came early, was older, and acted more steadily. Yu Rui was less than fourteen this year. From a temperament perspective, she was just a half-old child. Lin Rufei's temperament is mild, and they have separate courtyards, so the temperament of the two maids is more detached than the other servants.

After a while, Yu Rui came over with a pot of hot tea, she carefully poured tea for Lin Rufei, and raised her eyes to carefully look at the young master in front of her, narrowing her mouth: " Master, you are cut. "

"Are you there?" Lin Rufei didn't feel it.

"Naturally!" Yu Rui said unhappy. "It was so easy to fatten you up a little bit. After living in the mountains for a month, I lost weight."

Lin Rufei just laughed and shouldn't say a word.

Yu Rui gazed at the side, but it also made the courtyard look less lonely. Lin Rufei took a sip of tea from the cup, and her eyes fell on the grass and trees in the courtyard, but her eyes seemed to pass through the grass and trees and saw other scenes.

"Yu Rui." Lin Rufei said suddenly, his nose twitched slightly. "Did you smell anything?"

Yu Rui sniffed her small nose, her eyes blanked: "What smell?"

"It seems to be peach blossom ..." Lin Rufei discerned carefully.

"Peach blossom?" Yu Rui said, "How can there be the fragrance of peach blossoms, the peach tree in the yard gave birth to a flower bud, cricket, so unconvinced, you can water it every day, thanks to the young master." Lame, as if how much bullying his own son has been bullied, "Even if it's poured on my head, how can I drive two?"

Lin Rufei laughed abruptly: "What do you take away?"

Yu Rui shook her head and shook her head: "If you can't, look for the second son. There is always a way."

This is a bit of a truth. Lin Linyu's temperament. If Lin Rufei really wants to see a peach blossom on his head, I am afraid he can find a way.

"Go and get busy." The sunshine of spring day is sprinkled on the body, there is always a warm taste, Lin Rufei was exposed to some drowsiness, he squinted his eyes, and said lazily, "I take a short break."

"Ah!" Yu Rui saw her son was tired, and then he breathed out and quietly retreated.

So the attic calmed down.

Lin Rufei half-closed his eyes, for a while, the fragrance of peach blossoms became more and more intense. In the vision of hesitant, he saw the endless peach forest in a shadowy shadow. Deep in the forest, stood a man in a red suit. This illusion flashed by. When Lin Rufei opened his eyes again, there was only the pitiful tree standing in the courtyard in the eyes, and I didn't know if I could live to the next spring peach tree.

Lin Rufei made a decision, and he will go to the peach forest next to the hill to see the peach blossom in Banpo tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Rufei wore fox fur, led a white horse, and drove out of the house under a drizzle. The maidservant floating flowers stood behind him, holding a landscape-patterned oil-paper umbrella. The young master of her family said that she could not get wet with apricot blossom rain, and refused to hide under her umbrella. So the fine spring rain, A fine layer of light on the black hair.

The Kunlun Sword is approaching, and there are many strangers near Kunlun Mountain, which is very lively.

On the mountain road, a humble boy led a horse, he was wrapped in thick fox fur, slightly thin, handsome, pale, and looked more cowardly than ordinary people, but the most striking, but His light-colored eyes, which were supposed to be black pupils, were like smudged ink paintings. Although the colors were light, they were bright and vivid, and a little drizzle fell on the lash-like eyelashes. Light colored light. Behind the man was a beautiful maid. She held an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and she looked resentful. She seemed to want to give the boy an umbrella, but she was rejected again. The dirt on the mountain road that has been raining is slightly wet, but on the mountain road, only the footprints of the son-in-law are left, and when you look closely, you find that the foot of the maid is floating in the air, about half an inch from the ground. .

The farther down the mountain, the more people, waiting out of the gate of Kunlun Mountain, the surrounding area suddenly became lively. Although it was raining, the surrounding bazaars were not affected at all. The practitioners who came to visit the sword club but could not enter the infield took the opportunity to sell all kinds of things, including magic weapons, weapons, and even There are all kinds of Taoism.

Lin Rufei has been weak since childhood, and has rarely been to crowded places. At this time, she is even more interested.

"Oh, this master, do you want to look at my awesome rune paper? It's cheap and easy to use, so you can't buy it at a loss, you can't buy it." The hawker looked at Lin Rufei up and down, facing him Lin Rufei drank enthusiastically, but Lin Rufei was a rich man in this dress, but he was not wearing a sabre.

"How powerful?" Lin Rufei asked with a smile.

"Just this rune, you can use it to sneak away to other places! Help you escape!" The hawker gushed, "And no mana is needed, anyone can use it!"

"So good?" Lin Rufei asked, "how do you sell?"

The hawker said: "It's cheap, it's cheap." He turned his eyes and smiled, "Five spirit stones are enough!"

"Five spirit stones, why don't you grab it." Floating flowers are not as polite as her son-in-law. When he heard the hawker clamoring, he stared. "This painting is not complete, who dares to use it? After passing your head away, staying where you are, can you take responsibility? "

The hawker wanted to refute, but Yu Guang noticed the saber floating on his waist. When he got to his mouth, he immediately swallowed it, and his expression was a lot more honest. He sneered and said, "Hey ... what about this business, always pay attention In the process, if the girl thinks that it is not appropriate, she will make a counter-offer, and we can discuss it. "

"Half." Fuhua said politely. "No more."

The hawker yelled twice, then made a painful expression, and said, "Okay, okay, I haven't opened yet today, I will lose a little, half a stone is half a stone." He finished I added, "If there are any sequelae, I will not be responsible."

Fu Hua glanced at him, took out the Lingshi from the purse to pay the bill, and took the rune paper from the hawker, carefully checked it, and confirmed that there was no problem before handing it to his son.

Lin Rufei also bought and played with it. After taking it, he put a hand in his cuff and headed for other places.

Starting from outside the gate of Kunlun Mountain, and reaching the foot of the mountain, there are tourists and vendors everywhere. Today the weather is not too good, so there are not too many people, but in terms of Lin Rufei, it is lively enough.

Lin Rufei watched and walked down the mountain, but her mood was not affected by the gloomy weather, but she was a lot better.

When he got to the town, he was not far from Taohua Forest. Lin Rufei stopped and pointed to the other side of the town: "Floating flowers, I want to eat white rice cake."

Floating Road: "That boy is waiting for me right now, I'll buy it immediately."

Lin Rufei said, "Go ahead, I'll go ahead, and come and look for me when you get it."

Fuhua handed Lin Rufei the umbrella in her hand, frowning: "Son, put the umbrella on, be careful of the cold."

Lin Rufei did not speak, but just took the umbrella, raised his chin slightly, and signaled that the floating flower was about to go. The floating flower turned around and tapped on its toes, like a swift swallow. After a moment, it disappeared at the end of the street.

Lin Rufei did not support the umbrella, but put the umbrella on the horse's back and walked slowly toward the direction of the peach forest.

Although it rains, the town is still lively, and pedestrians are walking on the street made of bluestone with umbrellas. The town was born on the Kunlun sword school and has been flourishing for hundreds of years.

The biggest wish of the people in the town is to pass the examination of the Kunlun Sword School. Even being the most inferior outside student, it is something to be envied. If I can't do it, I look forward to my son, grandson, and generation after generation, there is always hope.

Lin Rufei saw Peach Blossom Forest from afar.

The mountain is empty, the peach blossoms are flowing, the breeze is blowing, the peach petals are rolled up by the breeze, and they fall on the head of the human hair.

Seeing this scene, Lin Rufei smiled, and walked briskly toward the depths of Taolin.

Probably because it was raining and the peach blossom forest was not as lively as in the past. The petals fell to the ground and turned into spring mud with the black soil. The ground was slippery, and Lin Rufei followed the trail and gradually entered the depths of Taolin.

The surroundings are quiet. Only the sound of rustle falling from the drizzle. Lin Rufei is indulging in the quiet beauty, but he heard a cry from the distance. Lin Rufei heard the sound of a monkey's voice, his face suddenly changed, and he ran away.

But he was alone, where there were monkeys running fast, and they were surrounded by monkeys within a short while. These monkeys did not know what kind of monkeys. They were very different from ordinary monkeys. It is very dense and supple, and there is no dirt on wild animals.

The monkeys quickly moved Lin Rufei around, blocking behind every exit behind him. Lin Rufei smiled bitterly, and quickly spread out her hand, signaled that she had nothing on her body, and sighed helplessly: "Do you know me, every time I come I will be blocked once-"

The lead monkey was very beautiful, and it was larger than the other monkeys. His eyes were still pretty golden. Now he was squatting on a peach tree nearest to Lin Rufei, blinking his eyes. Lin Rufei also saw his delicate and delicate son, and one monkey and one monkey stared so small. I don't know if it was Lin Rufei's illusion. He always felt that after he said this, a smile appeared in the monkey's eyes.

"I really didn't bring anything." Lin Rufei and Monkey King reasoned, "you didn't have time to buy the snacks you like, yes, this time I'm not alone, and Fuhua went to buy rice cakes- "

The monkey king heard the name of floating flowers, but he reacted. The beautiful eyes of Jin Chanchan turned smartly, but finally stopped on Lin Rufei. At this moment, floating flowers came from outside Taoyuan. A distant cry: "Master-"

Lin Rufei laughed: "Look, I didn't lie to you."

The monkey king waved his hand, and the monkeys began to recede into the depths of Taolin, but it did not move, squatting on the branches, waiting for the monkeys to dissipate, until the last monkey disappeared into the dense forest. The monkey king suddenly stood up from the squatting branches and flew towards Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei was startled by the monkey's movements, and took a few steps back from the conditioned reflex, but the monkey passed over his head and disappeared quickly into the peach forest. Lin Rufei felt that he patted his horns with his hands, and suddenly he couldn't help crying and laughing. He felt that the monkeys were really bullies, and it would be better if they didn't talk about them.

"Master." Floating flowers did not know when Lin Rufei was behind him, holding a few pieces of rice cakes wrapped in paper in his hands, the rice cakes were still steaming, exuding a seductive sweet fragrance.

"Floating flowers." Lin Rufei turned back, "so fast."

The floating flower saw Lin Rufei's face slightly stunned, and saw Lin Rufei's horns interspersed with a gorgeous peach flower, looking at her with a smile, in the hazy rain and mist, Lin Rufei was like a beauty coming out of the painting The whole body is light black and white. Only the peach blossoms at the ears are like the finishing touch.

"Floating flowers?" Lin Rufei called again when he saw the floating flowers look lost.

The floating flower returned to her mind, and she looked away unnaturally. She took a few steps forward and carefully handed the rice cake in her hand to Lin Rufei. She said lowly, "Master always doesn't use umbrellas and clothes. It's soaking wet ... "

Lin Rufei just laughed and didn't say a word. He opened the oil paper, took a bite of hot rice cakes, and his eyes happily curved: "It's delicious."

Fuhua gently looked at his master, took off the umbrella from the horse, and propped it on Lin Rufei's head.

The rice cake was very fragrant, and it was sticky and soft in the mouth. It was a childhood taste. Lin Rufei was not healthy since he was a child. Before ten years old, he never even went to Kunlun Mountain until his sister ’s birthday. Mother, quietly stuffed the little Lin Rufei into a bamboo basket, sneaking back on his back, and took him off Kunlun.

On that day, Lin Rufei tasted all the snacks in the town. The candy gourds in Zhang family and the white rice cakes in Chen family were all children's favorite things. Lin Rufei was very happy to eat, but the night when he was happy, A high fever was launched, and this incident was also tragically revealed.

Because of this, her sister Lin Ying was punished to the top of the mountain for three months, and Lin Rufei's plea was useless.

Since that time, Lin Rufei knows that her brothers and sisters are different. If their lives are burning flames, then they are shaky candlesticks. When a gust of wind blows, the flames will burn even more. It just goes out.

The rain was a little bit heavy, and the ground was getting more and more muddy. Floating flowers euphemistically asked if Lin Rufei was alone here. Lin Rufei was very confused about her question and asked why Floating Flowers asked this.

Fuhua smiled and pointed at Lin Rufei's horns.

Lin Rufei raised his hand and touched it, but actually felt a bunch of wet peach blossoms. He immediately remembered something, angry and funny; "This group of monkeys-is there such a bully!"

"The monkeys are here again?" Fuhua frowned, and she was very aggressive.

Lin Rufei likes to enjoy the flowers. She comes to this peach forest every spring, but she does n’t know when it started, but was caught by the monkeys in Taolin. Once Lin Rufei secretly went down the mountain, she did n’t follow her, the monkeys Not only did he rob Lin Rufei for food, but he was also very messy. When he returned, the Lin family thought he was robbed. Fuhua gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that she had also lost the second master, who didn't know about it, otherwise the group of monkeys might have lost their lives long ago.

How could Lin Rufei not know what her maid was thinking, and sighed with a smile: "It's just a group of naughty monkeys, why be so serious?"

"But they bully Master." Fuhua was unhappy. "Unfortunately, there is no rice cake in Master's hand, otherwise the animals are cheaper."

Lin Rufei just laughed and threw the peach blossom in her hand aside.

The ticking raindrops made a crackling noise on the oil paper umbrella. Lin Rufei walked in front, and the floating flowers supported the umbrella behind him. I don't know how long it has been, Lin Rufei looked at the dark sky, knowing that it will not clear up today, so he said with some regret that he would go back first.

Fuhua was happy to hear this. After all, Lin Rufei's head was wet at this time. She was afraid that her young master would catch the cold, and she was worried that she would say too much, and annoyed Lin Rufei.

Now that Lin Rufei has proposed to go back, that is naturally the best.

"Master, let's get started," Fuhua said warmly.

Lin Rufei was not stubborn, and stepped on a stable to a tame white horse. The floating flower gave Lin Rufei the umbrella, and he took the horse in front and went up to Kunlun Mountain.

When passing by the town, Lin Rufei heard the melodious flute coming from the town. He looked for the flute, but saw a small bridge and a swordsman wearing a bucket on the side of the bridge. The swordsman leaned obliquely. On the bluestone by the bridge, the sound of flute came from his mouth, but strangely, only the sound of the flute disappeared. Lin Rufei happened to bypass him, and the swordsman reached out and held up Fudouyu. From the gap, a narrow blue eye was exposed.

There was some vigilance in the eyes of Fuhua looking at the swordsman, but Lin Rufei's eyes smiled slightly at him, saying hello.

The swordsman didn't respond, and put down the bucket again, as if he didn't see Lin Rufei, and when the floating flowers appeared, he was about to provoke, but Lin Rufei called her name gently and shook his head.

The floating flower grunted, but secretly remembered the person's appearance.

Judging from this person's eyes, it should not be the race on their continent, maybe from other continents to come here for fun, but no matter where they are, as long as they come to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, who dare not give them the Lin family? face?

Lin Rufei listened to the sound of the flute, but groaned a poem of the ancients in a good mood: "Spring is quiet, night owl. The blue sky is a total of Chu Gongyao, and the dream soul is accustomed to uncussed. Xie Qiao ... "

Fuhua asked: "Master, what does this poem mean?"

Lin Rufei said with a smile: "A foolish man has a spring dream."

Floating flowers seem to understand.

The sound of the flute gradually went away, and Lin Rufei returned to Kunlun Mountain.

When it arrived in the yard, it was already dark, and Lin Rufei was a little tired. The floating flower was afraid that Lin Rufei would catch the cold, and hurried to burn the hot water, urging Lin Rufei to take a bath to remove the chill. Lin Rufei grinded, and it took a while to get into the tub.

The bath tub was very large. Lin Rufei sat down, and the water just didn't pass his chin. The floating flower closed the bathroom window deliberately before leaving. Lin Rufei felt a little dizzy for a while, but stood up again, holding the window with his body supported Pull away.

Outside the window is his flowery courtyard, set off by the surrounding scenery, the thin peach tree is even more lonely. Lin Rufei soaked in hot water, but it was found that the only bud on the peach tree was unknown at some time. It turned out to be a soft little flower.

The floret has only five petals and is pale pink. It is not as lively as the peach blossom under the mountain. It was beaten by the rain and it looked pitiful. When Lin Rufei saw the flowers blooming, he felt a little anxious. The rain was getting heavier. The peach tree in his family managed to bloom such a lonely seedling. What to do if he was hit by the rain again and again.

Really afraid of what came, Lin Rufei had just thought of it, and a gust of wind was blowing, and the petals of the floret fell off, shaking, and when she saw it, it would fall on the muddy ground.

Lin Rufei's eyes narrowed, and she was about to call the maid's name, but another gust of wind came, and the petals were swirled by the wind. It came to Lin Rufei's side. Must not be undressed, hurriedly stood up and reached out to catch the falling petals.

The petals swayed and flickered, and when they saw that they would fall on the palm of Lin Rufei, but an unknown wind rose, the petals were blown directly onto Lin Rufei's cheek, and Lin Rufei felt too late to react, and felt A pink shadow broke into his eyes with the breeze.

Lin Rufei covered his eyes conditionedly with his hands. He felt that something was attached to his right eye. First, it was cold, and then there was a burning temperature.

"Ah ..." The cry was squeezed in the throat, Lin Rufei was taken away by the sudden pain, he collapsed into a tub filled with hot water, and was immediately pulled into a weird Dream.

In a dream.

For the first time, Lin Rufei saw a fire-red peach forest, which was different from ordinary pink. The peach forest in front of her eyes was rich in color as if fused by fire. Inside Taolin, a shadowy figure stood deep in Taolin. Lin Rufei could only see his back. The man was wearing a red coat, a black hair, and a long sword slung across his waist.

Heaven and earth began to shake, Peach blossoms filled the sky, Lin Rufei looked up, saw the blood-colored sky, and heard a sound, but that sound was not as seductive as the scenery in front of him, but with a taste of anxiety and corruption, the voice said: " I can't compare to those vulgar fans at the foot of the mountain-you actually went to see them-"

The next moment, Lin Rufei suddenly awakened from her dream and heard that her maid was knocking on the door outside, and seemed to be coming in.

"Master-master-you should stop talking, I really came in." Fuhua didn't hear Lin Rufei's voice for a long time. The first reaction was that his own master had fainted and wanted to come in and see the situation.

Lin Rufei quickly said: "I'm fine, don't come in."

"Master! Why shouldn't you say a word, it scares me." Fuhua heard Lin Rufei's voice, and then she was relieved and complained, "But you need to soak for a while?"

"No need." Lin Rufei felt a little dizzy. "I'll get up."

The floating flower was silent, still a little uneasy, still guarding at the door, from time to time and Lin Ru Fei took a few words. Lin Rufei knows the mind of her maid, and she is not bored. He took a towel and wiped off the water on his body, but felt that his right eye was a little uncomfortable. He raised his hand and touched his right eye, thinking of something, got up and walked towards the glass mirror next to him.

This glazed mirror is a gift from his elder sister. Unlike ordinary bronze mirrors, the human figure can be clearly seen. Lin Rufei approached the mirror by candlelight. When he saw his face in the mirror clearly, the whole person stunned. I saw that in his right eye, which was much lighter than ordinary people's pupils, there was actually a floating peach blossom. The peach blossom was pale in color, as if it was just a petal falling inadvertently into the eyes.

Lin Rufei rubbed his right eye heavily and determined that it was not his illusion. He turned hurriedly, changed his clothes, and then faced the waiting floating road outside the door: "Floating flower, where is my second brother?"

Fuhua wondered, "Today, the Gu family in Yunan just arrived in Kunlun. The second master seems to be picking up, young master, what's wrong?"

Lin Rufei took a deep breath: "It's okay, you go down first." He paused for a moment, "You go and inform the second brother, let him be empty, come over immediately."

Although the floating flower was unknown, he obeyed Lin Rufei's instructions and left the yard to find Lin Fanyu. Lin Rufei smiled bitterly and covered her right eye, hoping that things would not be as bad as they thought.
