Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

Lin Rufei laughed for a while. Seeing the anger on Qi Yansheng's face, she suppressed the smile on her lips. After coughing dryly, she pretended nothing happened, and said, "How could you think of doing such a thing?" thing."

Qi Yansheng said: "I'm not blaming that boy Meng Lanruo—but he doesn't know the art of defeating the enemy, so I hope Mr. Lin will keep it a secret."

Lin Rufei nodded: "It's natural."

The two chatted all night, and the morning light was already shining outside the window. Lin Rufei drank and felt a little sleepy, so she bid farewell to Qi Yansheng and went back to her room to rest.

After sleeping all morning, she was not woken up by Fuhua to eat until noon. Lin Rufei rubbed her head, which was a little bit headache from the hangover, and said, "How is Meng Langruo now?"

Fuhua replied: "Just now I asked the servants of the Meng residence, and they said that Mr. Meng is still in the house and refuses to come out, but he is willing to eat, and even slept last night."

If she is willing to eat and sleep, then there should be no serious problems, Lin Rufei feels at ease upon hearing this.After eating, he went to Meng Lanruo's room where he was resting, and saw the young master of the Meng family slumped on the bed, lying down in big letters, with a face full of lovelessness, but the candied plums beside him always spoiled the atmosphere , especially when he grabbed one from time to time and stuffed it into his mouth angrily.

Seeing Lin Rufei coming in, Meng Lanruo moaned and squirmed, turned her head around like a bug, and called out in a drawn-out voice, "Lin...gong...son..."

Lin Rufei said: "What?"

Meng Lanruo pursed her lips and said, "Eat plums..."

Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Did you eat well? After eating so many plums, be careful of stomach pain."

Meng Lanruo murmured: "Eat early, my sister threatened me that if I don't eat, I will be fed. She can really do it."

Lin Rufei smiled lightly.

Meng Lanruo sat up slowly and said, "Mr. Lin, are you leaving?"

Lin Rufei nodded. In fact, he had planned to leave a long time ago. If Meng Langruo hadn't had an accident, he would have left the Meng Mansion by now.Now knowing that Qi Yansheng has no ill intentions towards Meng Langruo, there is no point in staying here.Besides, this is considered a private matter of the Meng family. It is not good for him to participate too much as an outsider.

Meng Lanruo was listless, and said: "Oh, I really don't want you to go, Xiao Yu is gone, you are gone too, I'm going back to my day..."

Lin Rufei said: "Go back?"

Meng Lanruo said: "Yes." He said that before Xiao Yu came, his life was a pool of stagnant water, very boring, and the greatest joy was sneaking out of Xinzhou City with his family on his back, but it was a pity that he couldn't do it once. no success.Later, he had a knot in his heart, and he was seriously ill because of it. Before he recovered from his illness, he met Xiaoyu, who had just arrived in Xinzhou, in the flower building, and fell in love with her at first sight, and fell in love with her at second sight.

The more Lin Rufei listened, the more strange his expression became. Fortunately, Meng Langruo was still absorbed in his story and didn't notice Lin Rufei's strangeness.

"I've never seen a woman so desirable to Xiao Yu." Meng Langruo recalled her sweet memories, "She has a gentle personality, and she won't be impatient when she listens to me talking about small things, and she's so pretty... All the girls I met before need to be coaxed and pampered, but Xiao Yu is so different!"

Lin Rufei thought that of course it was different, they treat you like a son, so can you be impatient.

Unexpectedly, after Meng Langruo finished speaking, she was caused to be sad again. She began to cry, wiped her tears and said sadly: "But why is she just... why is it that being with me is not as good as it is for her?" Are you happy to die?"

This incident should have been tragic, but Lin Rufei, who knew the truth, had a hard time empathizing with Meng Langruo. After listening to it for a long time, she could only say, "Maybe she has other difficulties?"

"What's the problem?" Meng Lanruo burst into tears.

Lin Rufei: "Just..." He thought for a long time, and then managed to force out a sentence, "It's just that I just don't want to live anymore?"

Meng Lanruo burst into tears.

Lin Rufei was bewildered by his crying and repeatedly comforted her.Meng Langruo cried for a long time before she stopped, but she was still sobbing and aggrieved, like a pitiful little girl who had been bullied.

Lin Rufei had no choice but to pass him a towel beside him, thinking that she must never mention Xiao Yu's name in front of Meng Langruo in the future.

However, although Meng Lanruo was sad, his condition was much better than the previous few days. Lin Rufei guessed that in a few days he would be able to get over the grief of Xiao Yu's death.

The matter was almost over, and Lin Rufei planned to leave the Meng Mansion.

The Meng Mansion held a farewell banquet for him and wished him a smooth journey.

On the last night spent in the Meng Mansion, Lin Rufei was tossing and turning in bed but couldn't fall asleep. Seeing his appearance, Gu Xuan asked, "Why, can't sleep?"

Lin Rufei showed half of her face, looking at Gu Xuandu with piercing eyes.

Gu Xuandu actually understood: "Qi Yansheng is accompanying Meng Langruo at the moment, not in the house."

Lin Rufei said, "Will it be inappropriate?"

Gu Xuandu calmly said: "It is definitely not suitable if it is discovered, but it is suitable if it is not seen."

Lin Rufei immediately sat up from the bed, didn't even put on her coat, put on her shoes in a hurry and went out, Gu Xuan saw that his appearance was really funny, so he took the coat for Lin Rufei, followed him out and put it on his shoulders superior,

Arriving at Qi Yansheng's residence, Gu Xuandu easily helped Lin Rufei unlock the front door, and Lin Rufei walked in and walked into the dormitory.

Qi Yansheng was indeed not at home, but the wardrobe was making slight noises like yesterday, and there seemed to be something alive inside.

Lin Rufei walked to the wardrobe, hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and pushed it, the wardrobe door opened in response to a sound, revealing a black wooden door.There was no lock on the wooden door, Lin Rufei was about to reach out to pull the wooden door open, but was stopped by Gu Xuandu.

"Let me come, this door is attached with the art of disgusting victory, it's not very good for ordinary people to touch it." Gu Xuandu said and held the handle, only to see that as soon as he put his hand on it, a wisp of black smoke emitted from the handle. out, and then quickly dissipated.

Behind the wooden door was a dark passage. Seeing this, Lin Rufei stepped into it.

The passage was very long and tortuous, with a dim light emitting from the end. Lin Rufei walked forward slowly, but was reminded several times by Gu Xuandu, and learned that there were many troublesome traps buried in the passage. Human life, but at least make people lose consciousness.

Lin Rufei finally came to the end. With the dim light, he saw the scene at the end of the tunnel. It was a wide stone room, which contained many tall cabinets and some strange-looking things. Then he knew that this should be the place where Qi Yansheng performed the art of exhaustion.But Lin Rufei's eyes were quickly attracted by the objects in the corner. There was a row of neatly arranged dolls there. The dolls were all carved from wood, and they were neatly arranged from small to large.

And the most amazing thing is that the appearance of these dolls is very similar to that of Meng Langruo, as if they were carved out of the same mold.

But the sound I heard outside just now became more and more clear, it came from a closet next to it, now as I got closer, the abnormal sound became more and more clear, at first it sounded like a drumbeat, the tone was mellow and very rhythmic.The cabinet was very big, painted with vermilion exterior paint, Gu Xuan cast his eyes on Lin Rufei, and Lin Rufei nodded to him.

"It's open." Gu Xuandu raised his hand and pulled the door.

The cabinet door was opened, and Lin Rufei was stunned when he saw what was inside. It turned out to be a doll just like Meng Langruo, but the appearance was much more mature than Meng Langruo, and the cheeks had completely disappeared. The immaturity of the young man was revealed, and the lines became clean and neat. This man was not carved out of wood, and his skin completely had a human touch, but the most eye-catching thing was his chest.

The puppet's chest was opened, revealing the empty lungs, and a beating blood-red heart embedded in the center. The heart looked bloody and hideous at first, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be made of stone. of.

People grow up gradually, but plants and trees do not. However, the dead Meng Langruo has successfully grown from an immature child to a teenager. His years continue to pass, so he needs a more mature body.

Lin Rufei came to a sudden, he clearly noticed that on the stone that turned into a heart on Meng Langruo's chest, there was a clear word Yu engraved on it.

Qi Yansheng... Xiao Yu... Qi Yu.

It's a good name, Lin Rufei laughed.

The doubts that had been in his heart were answered, Lin Rufei closed the cabinet door, turned and left, he said: "This Qi Yansheng is really interesting."

Gu Xuandu said, "Interesting?"

Lin Rufei said: "People who have many secrets and are knowledgeable and interesting are always interesting."

Gu Xuandu said: "Did you feel it?"

Lin Rufei turned her head to look at him, and said with a smile, "So what if you feel it, you won't even hang the bait on the fishing rod, so why should I bite?"

Gu Xuan laughed out loud.

But there is a saying, what Qi Yansheng said is very reasonable, everyone has some secrets, as long as these secrets do not hurt others, keep them all the time, on the contrary, it will make this person more interesting.

No one dislikes interesting people, and so does Lin Rufei.

Qi Yansheng, who was chatting with Meng Langruo, had a feeling in his heart, and thought that this young master of the Lin family really didn't investigate to the end and refused to give up.

That's right, the things he said were all his own words, it's normal for Lin Rufei to be worried.

"Hurry up, it's your turn." Meng Langruo urged, "What are you thinking about?"

Qi Yansheng dropped his piece, and said angrily, "How can there be so much interest in playing backgammon?"

Meng Lanruo patted the table: "I don't know how to play Go!"

Qi Yansheng said: "I can teach you."

Meng Lanruo sneered: "I can't even win backgammon, what's the use of you teaching me Go, don't think I don't know that you want to use Go to bully me!!"

Qi Yansheng covered his face and sighed, thinking in his heart that this young master of the Meng family obviously has three souls and seven souls, so why does he seem to be lacking in insight.

On the third day, Lin Rufei got into the carriage and planned to leave.

But what surprised him was that he didn't see Meng Langruo until he left the Meng Mansion. He originally thought that Meng Langruo would cry again because of the separation from him, but Zhuyin looked embarrassed at Lin Ruo Fei said that Meng Lanruo was afraid of crying again when they met him, so she didn't come out to see him off, and asked Lin Rufei to take care of herself along the way, and remember to send him more letters if she was free.

Although Lin Rufei found it strange when she heard the words, she only thought that Meng Langruo was afraid of seeing the parting Changmian sad, so she turned around and got into the carriage without thinking too much.

Fuhua whipped the carriage, and the carriage drove out of the Meng Mansion and headed all the way to the outside of Xinzhou City.

However, just as he was about to leave the city, Gu Xuandu, who hadn't appeared all this time, suddenly appeared and said, "Don't rush out with the carriage."

Lin Rufei: "Huh?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Wait at the gate of the city."

Lin Rufei was about to ask what he was waiting for, when he heard Qi Yansheng's anxious voice from outside the carriage, from far and near: "Young master Lin—wait a minute—"

Lin Rufei lifted the curtain of the car and saw Qi Yansheng Yujian coming, his face was pale, as if he had been greatly frightened.

Lin Rufei said, "Master Qi?"

Qi Yansheng stopped in front of the carriage, held a sword in one hand, and shouted: "Come out!"

Lin Rufei showed surprise on her face, and she was still thinking that Qi Yansheng had taken the wrong medicine and treated him like this. Then she saw a disheveled man crawling out from under the carriage. It was Meng Langruo who was supposed to be obediently in the Meng Mansion.

Meng Lanruo tied up her hair, changed into casual clothes, and carried a large package on her back. She called out with a shy expression, "Shengsheng, why are you here?"

Hearing the sound of victory, everyone's expressions were a little subtle, Yu Rui was young, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Where are you going?" Qi Yansheng sneered as if he didn't hear.

Meng Lanruo whispered: "Aren't you worried that I might get into trouble if I go alone? I'll be safe if I go with Mr. Lin. You don't have to worry. Mr. Lin and I are good brothers. He will definitely not dislike me as a fool." of."

Lin Rufei: "..." This kid.

Qi Yansheng said angrily: "Tell this to your mother again."

Meng Lanruo covered her ears reflexively, and cried, "Qi Yansheng, do you still have a conscience? After we've been friends for so many years, can't you grant me this little wish? I talked to my little girl the other day. Yu Ding made a promise that she must go to the rivers and lakes to have a look. Now that Xiao Yu is gone, I just want to fulfill her last wish and go out of Xinzhou City to visit her hometown. She has been away from home for so many years and has suffered so much. , Leaving Xinzhou City is her only wish before death!"

These words were so touching that Fuhua Yurui's eyes were filled with a layer of water.

However, Qi Yansheng's expression was slightly distorted, and he said coldly: "You fart." Didn't he know what Xiao Yu said before he died?This kid really came here as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't hit Fangjiewa for three days!

Meng Lanruo said weakly, "How can you swear?"

Qi Yansheng: "I said you fart!"

Meng Lanruo burst into tears immediately.

Seeing that he was crying, Qi Yansheng did not soften his heart at all, and raised his hand to grab his ear like Mrs. Meng did. Meng Lanruo forgot to cry when it hurt, and said anxiously: "How can you grab my ear, only I Only my parents can pull my ears!"

Qi Yansheng gritted his teeth: "I am your reborn parent!"

Meng Lanruo: "Wow, you bastard, it's about this time, you still don't forget to take advantage of me!"

The parting scene, which was supposed to be somewhat sad, was turned into a comedy by Meng Langruo. In the end, Meng Langruo, who bared her teeth and screamed, was dragged back by Qi Yansheng.Before going back, she begged Lin Rufei to help him, but Lin Rufei didn't speak, but smiled and waved to him, signaling to go all the way.

Qi Yansheng also nodded at Lin Rufei, if Lin Rufei's carriage hadn't been delayed for some time at the city gate, Meng Langruo might have been taken out.

The carriage set off again, and Lin Rufei finally left Xinzhou City.

Next, he planned to go down the Canglan River and cross Xiliang Mountain to see the prosperous Central Plains that he had never seen before.

The carriage drove for a few days, and Lin Rufei received a letter from Meng Langruo. The letter was as rambling as his people, and it was full of trivial matters the size of sesame seeds. He seemed to know that he had no point, so he used cinnabar brushes to draw A horizontal line is drawn to indicate that this matter is particularly important.As for the important thing, Lin Rufei laughed out loud after reading it.

It turned out that Meng Langruo, who failed to escape that day, was returned to the Meng Mansion by Qi Yansheng's ears. He was crying and immediately went to his mother and sued Qi Yansheng for his tricks, saying that Qi Yansheng insisted on pulling his ears, which was obviously not the case. Elders, but they bully themselves like this.

After hearing this, Mother Meng thought it made sense, and said she wanted to have a private talk with Qi Yansheng.

Meng Langruo felt that her mother wanted to find a place for her, so she went out arrogantly, but half an hour later, Meng Langruo was called back by the kind-hearted mother Meng.

"Master Qi has been in our house for almost ten years." Mother Meng said, "If you are right, he is indeed disciplining you like your elders."

Meng Lanruo listened happily, thinking that Mother Meng's next sentence was to criticize Qi Yan for being too superior to Meng Lang, but Mother Meng said softly, "In that case, why don't you recognize him as a foster father."

Meng Lanruo's bright smile froze on her face.

Qi Yansheng sat beside him quietly drinking tea, and when he heard this, he smiled at Meng Lanruo with the same kindness as Meng's mother.

"What??? What??? Mom, are you serious?" Meng Lanruo thought he heard it wrong, he pointed at Qi Yansheng in disbelief, and then pointed at himself in disbelief, "He? My adoptive father ?”

Mother Meng nodded.

Meng Lanruo's eyes were about to pop out, and she really wanted to grab her mother's shoulder and shake it heavily, shaking the water out of her mind.But Meng Langruo soon discovered that he was the only one in the Meng Mansion who was still sober, and everyone agreed with Meng's mother's proposal.

"Although Mr. Qi was born young, he is actually older than your father. There is nothing wrong with being your adoptive father." Meng Youyue smiled and persuaded her brother who was about to collapse, "Don't you always think that he cares about your name? It's not going well, it's all right now, he is your adoptive father, so it's normal for him to take care of you."

Meng Lanruo picked up a rock and hit his own foot, not only did he hit it, but almost broke his own foot, he wailed in the mansion for half a day, but no one paid any attention to it, only Qi Yansheng gloated and brought him a cup of tea .

Meng Lanruo said, "What kind of ecstasy did you give my mother and the others!"

Qi Yansheng: "Didn't you ask for it?"

Meng Lanruo was so angry that she almost fainted.

Meng Langruo still wanted to struggle, but the overall situation was settled. The Meng House even invited many guests for a banquet. Everyone didn't mind his objection at all. Even if he deliberately said that he would not be sick, they still expressed their understanding.

"After all, the girl I love just passed away, so I should be sad."

"Yeah, thanks to Mr. Qi for comforting Young Master Meng."

"But how old is this Mr. Qi?"

"I don't know, it's said that he's older than the master of the Meng family, but his appearance hasn't changed after ten years here, so he must have passed the fifth realm long ago... he can be regarded as a successful young man!"

"Then it's good to recognize this adoptive father."

Meng Lanruo was completely in despair, she nestled in the room and scolded Qi Yansheng all night as a bastard.So I didn't know, Qi Yansheng came to his room early in the morning,

Qi Yansheng looked at Meng Langruo's sleeping face, smiled, raised his hand and pulled the quilt up, covering Meng Langruo's body.

This young master always disliked Xinzhou being boring, so he tried every means to find some fun for him, no matter Xiaoyu or Hualou, as long as he could keep him here, he would do it.Lin Rufei is a good companion, if possible, he also wants to keep him, and it won't be too late to let Meng Lanruo get tired of him.

It's just a pity that Lin Rufei's identity is not simple, he is not the frail and sick young master of the Lin family as rumored, Lin Rufei hides a secret that even he can't understand, Qi Yansheng didn't do anything after all.

If Meng Lanruo is his most perfect work, he naturally wants to give him the best.

Apart from leaving, as long as Meng Lanruo wants, he will do his best to help him get it.Meng Lanruo read the story book and talked about the oiran and the scholar in the story book, and a girl named Xiao Yu appeared in the flower building, but unfortunately, he couldn't give him a complete world.

For some people, the Jianghu is where there are people, but in the eyes of the young master of the Meng family, only the place away from Xinzhou City is the Jianghu.

As a human being in one life, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things.

Qi Yansheng looked at the sleeping Meng Langruo, smiled, then got up, and walked out slowly.

The sunshine outside the house is just right, the rain is just beginning to clear, the spring is fading, and the summer is getting stronger. After two seasons, it will be another cycle of four seasons.The little boy in the house has also reached the age of crowning, and it is time to grow up.

Lin Rufei finished reading the letter Meng Langruo had given him, carefully folded it up, and put it in her purse.It's just that after reaching into the purse, there was a hint of hesitation on his face, and then he opened the purse, looked at it carefully, and said, "It seems that something is missing?"

"What's missing?" Fuhua asked.

"I don't know." Lin Rufei thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think about it. She just felt that the purse seemed to be a little loose, but there was no shortage of money.

The purse contained all the things of the world, and Lin Rufei didn't take it with her. Most of the time she threw it in the house, and only used it when she went shopping and needed to buy some things.

Naturally, Fuhua and Yurui didn't know what was missing from Lin Rufei's purse, and Lin Rufei couldn't remember it, but Gu Xuan knew it clearly, and slowly said: "Zhang Qianxing Talisman is missing."

Lin Rufei: "Huh?"

Gu Xuandu: "You bought it for half a piece of Lingshi in the market in Kunlun Mountain."

Lin Rufei: "..." He remembered!

Gu Xuandu said: "It seems that the young master of the Meng family found it."

Lin Rufei didn't expect such a coincidence, and sighed, "Does that mean I indirectly killed Xiao Yu?"

Gu Xuandu said: "If you die, you will die. If Qi Yansheng can make a Xiao Yu, maybe in a few days he will make a Xiao Qi."

Lin Rufei said: "Xiao Qi's name is too obvious."

Gu Xuandu: "What's that called?"

Lin Rufei: "I think Xiaowen is good."

A year later, in the Meng Mansion.

Because of Xiao Yu's death and the "thief" as her father, Meng Lanruo rushed in from outside the house in a hurry, and said to her mother excitedly: "Mom! I saw a beautiful girl outside. What a heroic heroine!"

Qi Yansheng sat next to Meng Mu and drank tea. Hearing this, he showed a loving smile.

Meng Lanruo said: "Everything is good, but the name is a bit ugly, it seems to be called Xiaowen."

Qi Yansheng smiled slightly.

Meng Lanruo: "It's worse than Qi Yansheng."

Qi Yansheng said: "..." Meng Langruo, you wait for me.

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: This is a kind of fun.

Lin Rufei: Interest?

Gu Xuandu: I think you should call me another name, so that our relationship will be one step closer than that of Meng Langruo and the others.

Lin Rufei thought for a long time and tentatively said: Grandson... grandson?

Gu Xuandu: ... (Is the direction you are approaching in the wrong direction???)
