Fengluo listens to the sound of snow

Qin Shuang lived in Qijiazhuang, and Qi Chen came to her every day to practice swords. They practiced together, and they improved very quickly.After about [-] days, I have understood seven or eight points of the change of moves.

After Li Muxue and Qi Yun got married, the husband and wife were very affectionate and affectionate. They took good care of Qin Shuang and Quan Yulu, and they were even more affectionate than Qi Chen.

Quan Yulu also often chats with Qin Shuang. The two have completely different personalities, but they talk very speculatively.In short, the life in Qijiazhuang is still happy.

In a blink of an eye, it was already June seventeenth.

The breath of summer is strong, and it is hot inside and outside the house, which makes people unable to sit still.

Although Qijiazhuang has ice-cold watermelon, various refreshments to cool off the summer heat, and an arbor specially used for martial arts in summer, Qin Shuang still misses the dense cypress trees in the north of Qinjiazhuang, the shade of the Shuangyuan, and the green plum wine brewed by himself. .

From March to now, she has lived at home for less than a month.

Except for getting lost once when she was a child, she had never been away from home for that long.Now that her swordsmanship is gradually improving, it's time to go home, she thought.

But at this time, she was thinking about how to say goodbye to her aunt, uncle, Qi Chen, and Quan Yulu, when someone suddenly came from Qin Family Village.

That morning, when Qin Shuang was eating breakfast, a servant girl rushed in and said to Qin Shuang, "Miss Qin, the owner and wife of the villa invite you to the front hall. Someone is coming from your house."

"Now?"

"Yes, right now, very urgent." The maid's voice was also anxious.

Qin Shuang felt that something must have happened at home, so she immediately put down her chopsticks, wiped her hands, got up and walked with her, asking, "Who is here? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's a young girl, wearing a bodyguard outfit, she seems to be in a hurry." The servant girl replied.

Qin Shuang secretly wondered, could it be Sister Xing?What happened at home?But she didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly followed her.

Walking to the hall, she saw her uncle and aunt standing in the middle, and Luo Xing standing aside, as if they were all waiting for her.

"Shuang'er, you're here." Qi Yun said.

"Mm, uncle." Qin Shuang saluted him, then turned to look at Luo Xing beside him.

Her eyes were red, she must have cried besides traveling long distances.What's going on here?She had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Shuang'er," the aunt's expression was not quite right, she came over to hold Qin Shuang back, "No matter what you hear next, you must be strong."

Qin Shuang looked at her aunt, then at Luo Xing, and suddenly panicked: "What's wrong? Could it be Daddy..."

She didn't dare to go on.The last time I went back, my father was not in good health, I don't know how it is now.

"Girl," Luo Xing cried, "Girl, come back with me. These days, the landlord's health is not very good, and he keeps coughing up blood. Just yesterday, he suddenly coughed up blood and went to invite Dr. He. , the doctor said, said..."

"say what?"

"The owner said he won't live for two months." Luo Xing replied in a low voice, and wept softly again.

Qin Shuang was taken aback, "Why?"

When she went back last time, although she knew that her father was not in good health, but it's been too long, how could it be like this?

She always felt that her father would recover, and she planned to go to Luobi Mountain together in a sedan chair when he recovered.Go with him to see the maple leaves all over the mountain, especially in late autumn, when the leaves all turn fiery red, dyeing the whole mountain, brilliant and breathtaking.

As usual, they can drink spring water in the middle of the mountain, make a pot of tea, watch the scenery, and chat with each other slowly.

But this year's Hongfeng, won't dad be able to see it?Will I not be able to drink tea with him in the future?

Scenes that might never happen again flashed in her mind, tears shed unconsciously, "Sister Xing," she asked tremblingly, "what's going on? Why is this happening? I always feel that Daddy Your illness can be cured, but why is it like this now?"

"Miss," Luo Xing supported her, "Miss, you need to be stronger, many people in the village are still looking at you, so don't get too flustered at this time."

"Luo Xing," Qin Shuang wiped away tears, "I'll go home with you, I'm leaving now!" She turned to Qi Yun and his wife and said, "Uncle and Aunt, you have also seen the current situation, Shuang'er can't I have lived here. During this time, thank you for your care, Shuang'er is very grateful, and I will definitely repay you in the future. I will leave now!" After finishing speaking, she saluted them.

"Since that's the case," Qi Yun said, "We won't keep you here, be careful on the way, your sister-in-law and I will also go to Qinjiazhuang to visit our senior brother."

Li Muxue nodded, "Shuang'er, don't be too sad, what the girl said just now is right, everyone in the Qin Family Village is watching you!"

Qin Shuang nodded yes, saluted them again, and then left Qijiazhuang with Luo Xing.

From Qijiazhuang to Qinjiazhuang, it took three and a half hours to rush back without stopping.

She has never felt that three and a half hours is so long, it is so long that it makes people anxious, heartbroken, and makes people wish to fly there immediately.

She thought about everything from childhood to adulthood, and suddenly felt that she was so ignorant that she almost obeyed her father's arrangement completely.

That Lantern Festival watching lanterns, if she hadn't wanted the gadgets from the vendors, she wouldn't have gotten lost; Dad couldn't abandon Qinjiazhuang, he strongly opposed his brother and Mr. Su, but he strongly supported him; Dad was old I wanted to find a good home for myself, but I ran away from Qinjiazhuang...

If I can be more obedient and sensible, will my father not cause heart disease?Is it possible to cure the disease even if it is born?

She couldn't help but feel uncomfortable thinking about so many things.

When she was about fifty miles away from Qinjiazhuang, she suddenly dismounted, ran to the side of the road and began to cry.

"Girl," Luo Xing also dismounted, and led the two horses to the side of the road, "Girl, don't do this, you have to go back to the manor to see the owner!" She tied the horse to the tree trunk next to her. , and then patted Qin Shuang from behind.

"Sister Xing, I don't want to go back," Qin Shuang cried, "I don't want to go back..."

Luo Xing frowned and looked at her, and waited for her to cry for a while before saying, "Girl, haven't you been in a hurry to go back? You're almost home, you..."

"Let her cry," a voice came from behind, "Just cry."

Luo Xing turned around, was stunned for a moment, and then saluted: "Master Qi."

Qi Chen chased him all the way.In the morning, when he heard that someone had come to Qin's Village, he felt bad. Something must have happened to Qin's Village, so he followed Qin Shuang all the way, and heard the whole story outside. He was worried about her, so he followed her.

"Why are you here?" Qin Shuang wiped her hazy eyes and asked Qi Chen.

"It's nothing," Qi Chen said, "I just happened to pass by."

"This place is hundreds of miles away from Qijiazhuang, you said you happened to pass by?"

"Can't you?" Qi Chen looked at her and said in a different voice: "Are you still crying? If you don't cry, go home quickly, your father is still waiting for you at home!"

"You!" Qin Shuang glared at him, then led the horse out, got on the horse and left without saying goodbye.Luo Xing was shocked, and hurriedly saluted Qi Chen, said "Farewell", and then chased Qin Shuang.

Qi Chen sighed, but was not in a hurry, got on the horse slowly, and walked in that direction.

Qinjiazhuang.Qin Muming was playing chess with his son. He knew that such a day would happen to him, but he remained calm.On the contrary, Qin Feng's eyes were red, flustered and nervous, and he couldn't calm down at all.

"What's the matter?" Qin Muming looked at him and said, "Feng'er, you only beat me once last time, so you're proud?"

"No, dad," Qin Feng said in a low voice, "I'll accompany you well."

"That's right, it's nothing serious, why are you panicking?" Qin Muming smiled and dropped his head.

"Father," Qin Feng's eyes filled with tears, "You..."

He can't speak, it's no big deal, daddy's life, isn't it a big deal?

"Why are you crying?!" Qin Muming was a little angry, "It's your turn!"

"Okay." Qin Feng didn't let the tears fall, and then lowered his head for a moment.

"It's decent," Qin Muming also gave birth to a son, "Who hasn't been born, aged, sick and died in this world, a man, there's no need to cry and cry about it. It's nothing, nothing!"

Qin Feng nodded, calmed down slowly, and tried his best to concentrate on playing chess.

Finally a game of chess was over, Qin Muming smiled and said to his son: "Feng'er, you have regressed this time, you lost."

"It's dad's great chess skills." Qin Feng said.

"Do you remember what you promised Dad?" Qin Muming asked.

"Remember," Qin Feng exhaled, "go to Qijiazhuang to propose marriage to Miss Quan."

"I won't force you to do this. If you want to go back on your word, I agree," Qin Muming said, "I'm getting old, and I do worry more about you, but I understand that some things can't be forced. I also know , you don't want to marry a wife in your heart, and this matter is difficult for you. Who made this Qinjiazhuang need a mistress? You have to think about the way forward, and don't let the Qinjiazhuang down because of a moment of anger. Don't let yourself down completely because of this Zhuangzi."

His voice was full of vicissitudes and helplessness.

He was most worried about Qin Feng.He is 24 years old, so it's fine if he doesn't want to marry a wife, but Mr. Nasu, whom he likes, is seriously ill and won't live long.Moreover, the identity and origin of that person are still a mystery...

"Father," Qin Feng smiled, but his eyes were red: "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. You have no regrets, didn't you teach me this? I still remember it."

"Okay," Qin Muming's eyes turned red, "Father is very pleased that you can think so. But since you decide to marry someone, you have to treat her well in the future. You must not deliberately neglect her just because of your own wishes."

"Don't worry, Dad, I know." Qin Feng nodded.

"Villa Master," Liu Shao came over and saluted, "Young lady is back."

"Shuang'er is back!" Qin Muming was overjoyed. Although Qin Feng didn't speak, he was also happy in his heart.Qin Shuang came out from behind Liu Shao, and asked with concern, "Daddy, how are you?"

As soon as she entered Zhuangzi, she didn't go back to Shuangyuan, she went directly to Mingyuan to see her father.

"It's fine!" Qin Muming laughed loudly, "When you come back, you will be cured of all illnesses!"

Qin Shuang looked at her father. It has only been more than 20 days since the marriage between the uncle and the aunt, but her father has lost a lot of weight. Although he was also in a wheelchair, he still has the edge and majesty. Now he is sitting in a wheelchair, but he looks like A very sick old man.Has Daddy's condition been deteriorating these days?

"Daddy," she walked over and grabbed her father's hand, "you've lost weight!"

"My Shuang'er isn't thin, but it's okay," Qin Muming smiled, "This shows that my junior and junior sisters didn't treat you badly!"

"Daddy, they treated me very well. But, what's going on? Why do you..." She anxiously asked about her father's condition.

"Shuang'er!" Qin Muming interrupted her, "You just came back, you have worked hard all the way, haven't you had dinner yet? In this yard today, our family of three will have a reunion dinner!"

Seeing that he didn't want her to ask, Qin Shuang stopped and nodded, "Yeah."

It was still bright at this time, but it was already time for dinner.The summer days are long, and the unknown bugs in the courtyard have begun to sing.Qin Shuang and Qin Feng talked with their father, the three of them sometimes laughed, sometimes whispered, and sometimes sighed endlessly.It's been a long time since they sat together and talked about family matters.

Not long after, Liu Shao began to serve dishes.The dishes are all cooked according to the tastes of the three masters. Today, the owner, son, and girl are all eating in this courtyard. Liu Shao also specially called the cooks from Fengyuan and Shuangyuan to cook something that the master and the girl like. dishes.

The three of them sat together, and there was a table of favorite dishes in front of them, but none of them had much appetite.

Qin Muming first took a mouthful of food, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and said while eating: "When did you two become so disciplined in private? If I don't eat, you don't dare to eat? I remember that you were not like this before You used to start eating before I served the table."

That's what happened when they were kids.At that time, they were young and did not have an independent courtyard.Children are always hungry, clamoring for food before it’s time for meals, and their father always prepares snacks, but they don’t like to eat them. They like some dishes made by the yard cook, such as three silk skins, braised in soy sauce Fish, stir-fried pork... Before the father came to the table, the two brothers and sisters began to rush to eat.

Qin Feng and Qin Shuang couldn't help being silent when they thought of what happened back then.Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, I became that old, and in a blink of an eye, my father...

"Why don't you eat or talk?" Qin Muming smiled, "I was fine just now, come on, let's eat first!" As he said, he handed chopsticks to his son and daughter one by one, and picked them up one by one. Dish, "Now that I'm grown up, I don't rush to eat it like when I was a child. Hey, it's better when you were young..."

Qin Shuang's tears fell into the bowl.

Qin Muming saw it and said, "Shuang'er, what's wrong with you? I remember that you are not a girl who loves to cry."

Qin Shuang wiped away her tears, "Daddy, I didn't cry, I just haven't eaten our food for a long time, and I thought about it very much." After speaking, she ate the food her father had just brought.

"That's right," Qin Muming smiled, and turned to look at Qin Feng. He wasn't crying, but his eyes were red.

"Feng'er, why don't you move your chopsticks?" Qin Muming asked.

"Ah?" Qin Feng came back from his thoughts and said, "Father, I want to drink Luo Biyin Dew, let's open a small altar."

"Okay!" Qin Muming laughed loudly, and then called Liu Shao, "Open a pot of Luobi Yinlu, and bring a small pot of green plum wine to Shuang'er." Liu Shao responded, and after a while, there were two more wines on the table .

Qin Feng poured wine for his father and poured it for himself, then raised the wine glass: "Father, I respect you." After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.Qin Muming smiled, and immediately drank his own cup.

"Come on, don't patronize drinking, eat more food." Qin Muming said to his son.Qin Feng let out a "hmm", then lowered his head and began to eat.

Qin Feng and Qin Shuang surrounded their father, eating and talking like this, as if they were back when they were young.

Qin Feng was six years older than Qin Shuang, so he was considered a big brother, but he never let her be at the dinner table.The two had to quarrel and fight every day for eating, either for a piece of ribs or for a piece of meat, which made Qin Muming really have a headache.He tried to let them eat at separate tables, but this way, the two of them ate less lively.So he gave up, and gradually enjoyed watching them quarrel.

But later, Qin Shuang got lost. She was lost for several years. During this time, Qin Feng had his own yard. When he got her back, she became much more reticent. After a while in the village, she became back.

All three of them tried their best to eat more, and they all tried their best not to be sad.But the three of them knew in their hearts, how many times can they eat together like this?

After the meal, Qin Feng got up to say goodbye, saying that he would go to Qijiazhuang to propose marriage in a few days, and hoped that his father would feel at ease.Qin Shuang was startled when he heard this: brother is going to marry a wife?Is it because of father?

After Qin Feng left, Qin Shuang stayed behind.She wanted to have a private conversation with her father.

"Shuang'er," Qin Muming smiled, "if you have something to say, speak quickly."

"Daddy, how is your health?" Qin Shuang asked him, "What did the doctor say?"

"Didn't Luo Xing tell you?" Qin Muming said, "Your father and I have at most two months to live." He said it very cheerfully, as if death is not a painful thing.

"Daddy, you," Qin Shuang listened to his father's tone, "what are you talking about?"

"Shuang'er," Qin Muming held his daughter's hand, "birth, old age, sickness and death, reincarnation of heaven and earth. It's all a matter of letting nature take its course, don't be sad."

"But Daddy..."

"Okay, don't talk about this," Qin Muming said, "You were shocked when you heard that your brother was going to propose marriage just now. What's the matter? Remember Mr. Su?"

"Daddy," Qin Shuang asked, "Did brother do this voluntarily?"

The author has something to say: Qin Feng is going to propose marriage...

Alas, a minute of silence for Mr. Su.
