Rebirth of the Son Raiders

"The baby is back, mother, look, this is the Yuxiang Furong brew that my father once mentioned."

Qi Wushi and Qi Zhangshi were sitting in the room when they saw four young men walking in with joyful faces.

Qi Wenbo carefully placed two sealed rough clay bottles on the table, motioning for the two elders to watch.

"I thought I was going to return today in vain, but I didn't expect that the mountains and rivers will come back, and the flowers will be bright."

As Qi Wenbo said, the three brothers are not "older" than Lin Yanhong, and they are all of the same generation, so they get along very naturally.

In addition, they had been told by the elders to take good care of their cousin, and they themselves had heard about Lin Yanhong a long time ago and maintained great curiosity. After a few days, the brothers quickly became one.

The second aunt, Qi Zhang, comes from a military officer's family. She has a bright personality, and she hates her husband and son's cold, cold and repulsive appearance of thousands of miles away.

She just likes a boy like her nephew Lin Yanhong, who is good-looking and well-behaved (fog).

When he learned that his two sons got along very well with him, Mrs. Qi and Zhang couldn't help being a little surprised.

——These two boys, who don't even bother to deal with the princes and young masters in Tianjing, are now so enthusiastic about their cousin. Is this a change of temper or is Brother Hong really too likable?

Qi Wu, who saw this situation with her, was also a little surprised.

If the twins of the second uncle's family are cold outside and hot inside, Bo'er in her family has a typical personality of hot outside and cold inside. On the surface, he looks polite to others and has a gentle and harmless personality, but in fact he is just like her husband, easy-going. Not opening up to people.

Qi Guangheng formed this "smiling tiger" temperament because he studied in Shuling Prefecture as a prefect and a doctor of the Five Classics. He had to teach students with different personalities in accordance with their aptitude.

And Qi Wenbo is because the eldest son and grandson have been the eldest brother since childhood. In the Imperial College, where there are many relatives of the emperor, he must be neither humble nor overbearing, and he must take good care of his two cousins. Over time, he has become "generous and funny", " Be nice to people."

But Qi Wu could tell that Qi Wenbo was really close to Lin Yanhong.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have described so vividly how Brother Hong and the old man had a poetic expression; he wouldn't have remembered clearly the "a bit bitter" he blurted out when he drank the first sip of hibiscus brew; Niang, so that the old master Qi and the others can also take a look, this is the "treasure" that Brother Hong got together with them.

Maybe he was kind to Brother Hong at first because of the instructions of his father-in-law and husband, or because he still missed his aunt who died young, but in the end, he really let go of his heart for this person. .

She and Qi Zhang looked at each other, and they both saw comfort and joy in each other's eyes. Listening to Qi Wenbo's story about how they found the legendary "Furong Brew" in the deep alleys of Shuchuan City after several twists and turns. ", can't help but smile.

Mrs. Qi Zhang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "No wonder you came to us because you got good things to show off! It is said that those who see have a share, and those who hear also have a share. Since you don't know how to restrain yourself, then Just consciously let the good things out, let us women in the deep house also taste the hibiscus wine that is hard to buy and is only waiting for someone who is destined for a lifetime."

She intentionally imitated Qi Wenbo's tone and intonation, which seemed very interesting, and immediately made Qi Wushi also cover his mouth and laugh.

Qi Wenbo felt a little embarrassed when his aunt imitated his own words, but he quickly responded: "Brother Hong said that this is dedicated to honoring mother and aunt, and of course he will not hide his secrets."

Mrs. Qi and Zhang acted vigorously, immediately asked the maid to fetch the cup and asked Qi Wenbo how to drink it.

"I heard from the old man that the fresh hibiscus was washed and drained, and then put into a container with rock sugar as the bottom, and then added more than a dozen medicinal materials such as Angelica dahurica, Chiwei, Chuanqiong, etc., and finally poured in high-quality glutinous rice wine. Sealed, the income from brewing for more than half a year, because the time for brewing last year did not come, he was not willing to sell it, and we spent a lot of effort to persuade him to give us two years of aging."

As soon as the two elders heard the names of these medicinal materials, they knew that this lotus wine was probably good for women. It is no wonder that their brothers said that it was specially given to them as a tribute, and they brought it directly to them.

Mrs. Qi and Zhang took a sip from the glazed cup, only felt that it was sweet and bitter, and then returned to sweetness. It contained the fragrance of hibiscus, but also the taste of wine, plus a touch of herbal medicine, which was an indescribably unique feeling.

"It really is bitter," Qi Zhang said deliberately with surprise, "Brother Hong is not lying." She cast her eyes on the handsome young man, causing him to bow his head slightly, as if a little ashamed.

Seeing this, Qi Wushi also smiled, and she gently put down the cup: "But it doesn't taste bitter, and it can't set off the sweetness. It can be seen that bitterness comes first, and then sweetness."

She also looked at Lin Yanhong when she spoke, with kindness and tenderness in her eyes.

——This child has been through bitterness, now, it's time for sweetness...

Lin Yanhong could tell that most of Qi Wu's words were addressed to him, thinking about the deep meaning, he couldn't help being a little moved.

These few days, he lived very happily.

The freedom in Wushan and the warmth in Linfu Dongyuan seem to be integrated at this moment.

This is the first time for him to get along with so many peers, and the feeling of taking care of Jing Cheng and Yansi is quite different.

They are all highly talented students who have read poetry and books, and they are willing to treat others with sincerity.

Several cousins ​​and cousins ​​occasionally do things that they can't do or even imagine by themselves because of their youthful temperament. After finishing, they are stunned for a while, and then they look at each other and smile, even laughing heartily.

This kind of hearty and selfless feeling is fascinating.

If it is said that when Lin Yanhong embarked on this trip to Shuling, he still felt uneasy, but now there is only joy and ecstasy left.

This is also something that he failed to get in his "last life", how lucky he is not to miss it now!

"Although it's dedicated to honoring us, you have to let your uncle learn a lot,"

Qi Zhang drank the rest of the lotus brew in the cup in one gulp, quite heroic and free and easy, she said to Lin Yanhong: "It's a bit of a wild taste to be packed in this rough pottery. Your uncle likes this kind of innocence the most." You can show him the acid, and make sure he picks it up and appreciates it."

Her father is from Shangzhu Kingdom, and she and Qi Guangyan are young couples, and they have a very close relationship, so she is not afraid to make fun of the husband of a third-rank official.

However, Mrs. Qi Zhang did not continue the topic of "sour scholar", but turned to his son and said: "However, no matter how good the thing is, you can't just find it in the alley and pester the old man. If you behave like this carefully, I will report to your grandfather."

"Yes, mother." The twins are not afraid of the serious father, but afraid of the smiling mother on weekdays, and quickly said yes.

——Father's teaching is at most verbal, and breaking the sky is just a few slaps... Mother's teaching is directly with a whip!

……

It's a pity that I promised well in person, and when I turned around and played with high interest, I immediately forgot about it.

Especially after the old man's birthday, a few teenagers began to go to the suburbs for a "spring walk", and even took a swim in the lake, but Qi Wu was frightened, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly told his family.

"Send more people to follow. The more you stop them, the more they will do it secretly. Rather than encounter danger when no one is around, it is better to be safe in full view."

Mrs. Qi expressed understanding for his daughter-in-law's concerns, but he didn't intend to hold back a few grandchildren: "It's not a good thing to study hard, and it's rare to come back. Why don't they open it up and play?"

Men's friendship is different from women's friendship. Embroidering in the house, playing the piano, and exchanging secret things by the way is not their style.

Fighting and making trouble together, causing trouble together, and then making amends together and taking responsibility together, this is the way for their teenagers to make friends.

"However, it's too much to go swimming in the lake... In this case, I will punish them to come to my yard, and learn how to prune flowers and trees with Lao Yu, and cultivate their sentiments by the way."

With the old man's "order", the brothers naturally had to be "punished" honestly.

"Master, if you want this flower and tree to grow luxuriantly, you have to pinch off the buds that are emerging from the top, but if you want it to grow taller, you have to keep it."

"There are different methods for cutting flowers and trees in four seasons. The young master just remembers one thing, be patient, don't be impatient, wait for it to take root and grow leaves, and it will be fine."

"In addition to making wine, hibiscus flowers can also be cooked in soup. When the petals are cooked with chicken, it can be made into magnolia chicken slices; when cooked with bamboo shoots, it can be made into Xuexia soup; it can also be stewed with round-grained rice and pork ribs, which is hibiscus. flower porridge."

……

Originally thought that pruning flowers and trees was a laborious and hard work, but Lin Yanhong saw that this old Yu was actually a wonderful person who knew a lot of things, so he knew that his grandfather was not "punishing" them, but he was changing tricks to let them experience new things. things.

It's a pity that the hibiscus of Qi's family will not bloom until autumn, and Lin Yanhong has probably gone back to Yunshui by then, so he might not be able to see her again.

After dinner, they came out of Mrs. Qi's yard. It was getting late, and the brothers made an appointment the next day to go to the lake boat shop in the city to taste the nectar, and then went back to their own yards.

Lin Yanhong had a smile on his face, which didn't decrease even after entering the Moon Gate.

After entering the house and talking to Amber a few words, he realized that the little thing that he heard would run wildly when he stepped into the yard in the past has disappeared.

He went straight to the inner room, and found the little wolf cub on the bed.

The little guy was leaning against the door, lying on his side on the bed, as if he was sleeping. The little guy looked lonely and pitiful from the back, which made Lin Yanhong feel pain in his heart.

He sat on the edge of the bed, gently touched its back, and then touched its ears: "Is Jing Cheng asleep?" Obviously seeing the little guy's tail sweeping back and forth, he asked knowingly.

The little guy moved his touched ears, but he didn't get up, and fell asleep, as if he wanted to ignore Lin Yanhong.

Lin Yanhong leaned forward and touched its belly carefully, knowing that it had already had dinner, he was relieved.

But seeing that the other party didn't pay attention to him, he was a little concerned, and after thinking about it, he didn't know what went wrong, so he continued to speak softly: "Then you sleep a little longer, I'll go wash up, and play with you later."

Just when Lin Yanhong turned his head and was about to get up, he suddenly felt some movement behind him, and before he could turn his head again, he was hugged from behind.

"Jing Cheng?" Looking at the wheat-colored arm lying across his chest, Lin Yanhong was startled at first, and then he was hugged even tighter by the other party after moving a little, so he didn't care that the people behind him were about to lose their whole body weight. Pressing on him: "What's wrong?"

In fact, Li Jingcheng didn't know what was wrong with him.

When I can't see Lin Yanhong, my mind is full of him, wishing to be by his side all the time;

When he saw Lin Yanhong, he felt a bitter taste coming out of his chest again... It was even bitterer than the lotus brew he tasted for himself that day, and it was not sweet, nor sweet.

When in wolf form, I can roll in his arms at will, lick his chin and cheeks, be touched by his gentle hands over ears, back, hands (claws) and tail, and nest on his neck nest nap.

Li Jingcheng feels that he is the closest person (wolf) to Lin Yanhong in this world, who can see Lin Yanhong that others can't see, sometimes indifferent, sometimes detached, and sometimes extremely gentle.

He thought Lin Yanhong was good, and only he (the wolf) knew about it, but gradually, many people were fascinated by his smile.

The maid beside Lin Yanhong, his father who seemed to have no temper, the little cousin who was picked up from the ancestral house, and these grandparents who are really blood relatives to him...

They are like enemies that can't be beaten, making Li Jingcheng care about and even jealous, but there is nothing he can do about them.

He can let the shadow guard trip over the woman who goes to Lin Yanhong's side all day long, but can he let the shadow guard hurt the person who holds a lot of place in Lin Yanhong's heart?

He has always known that they are actually very similar - because they are both "lone wolves" in the crowd.

Even though Lin Yanhong didn't have the soul of his ancestors back, he often showed some eyes that others couldn't understand, like emptiness and detachment, a little cruel and a little dismissive.

Li Jingcheng is infatuated with the gentle Lin Yanhong, and also falls in love with him who is so mysterious and independent.

He hasn't experienced many people, but he deeply feels that as long as he has this person by his side, it doesn't matter whether he has met or met other people—he has experienced the whole world.

Listening to Master Wu Jue's scriptures all the year round, Li Jingcheng even felt that this was a destiny in the dark. He traded his fate with everyone in his life for his fate with him alone, but in the end, he couldn't fully own him.

Li Jingcheng wanted to break free from this "fate", but he was struggling and at a loss.

He hugged Lin Yanhong tightly and rubbed his lips against the side of his neck—he didn't know why he did it, but he knew his body wanted to do it.

Lin Yanhong felt that the arms wrapped around him were tightened, and there was a constant hot breath behind the ears and the side of the neck. He felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't struggle after all.

It was probably a few months of companionship day and night, "sharing the same bed", and he was already familiar with the smell and body temperature of this person—although on weekdays it was mostly the body temperature of the little wolf cub with the furry touch...so he didn't feel much. Uncomfortable, just a little weird.

He raised his hand and patted Li Jingcheng's arm: "Can I bring you refreshments from Hutai Lane tomorrow?"

Recently, I was taken by a few cousins, and I didn't even forget to eat to comfort others.

Lin Yanhong actually understood what Li Jingcheng was upset about, and felt sorry for his loneliness, but there was nothing he could do.

——Whether he is in the form of a wolf or a human, he cannot go outside with himself now.

Sometimes, Lin Yanhong can understand why King Yu let Li Jingcheng stay by his side.

It is nothing more than wanting to have someone to accompany him, who can teach him to read and write, so that he can be more "popular" in his doomed lonely life.

But Lin Yanhong is not a vassal of Prince Yu's mansion, he can't give his life completely to this young man, even if he is the son of Prince Yu, the unique return of his ancestors.

Now he can only give the tenderness and love that he can give, but in the end they are all independent individuals, and they have to be responsible for their own lives.

……

Li Jingcheng hugged him for a while, then rubbed against him, sniffed him, and found that the smell of other people on him finally faded away, leaving only his own smell, and he finally felt better.

Keenly aware of the mood changes of the people behind him, Lin Yanhong heaved a sigh of relief, and patted Li Jingcheng's hand again: "Let me wash up, you put on your clothes..."

After saying this, the strangeness in his heart flashed again, and even his ears, which were a little hot and dry from the other party's breath, turned red.

He began to break free from the other's arms, and this time he succeeded easily.

"Lie obediently in the quilt, wait for me to come back, and play chess with you."

There are not many games that can be played in the room, among which chess is a good choice. It is not only interesting, but also a method that can be given to Li Jingcheng to plan and plan. It is an activity that both of them like very much.

Of course, the feeling of torturing a little guy is also very interesting... It's just that a guy who has already darkened his mind will not admit this.

The chess pieces they used were brought from Yunyang. There are 32 pieces of round wood, half red and half black.

Two people play chess, the red side uses the commander-in-chief, two ministers, two guns, two guns each, and five pawns;

Lin Yanhong looked at the pensive young man in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart—it's not easy to be so serious, but it's a pity that he saw clearly the next few steps.

Because of his ease, his eyes unconsciously glanced elsewhere.

The boy in front of him was completely different from the one he saw for the first time last summer.

When they met for the first time, the boy who flung himself into his arms was obviously shorter than him, but now, in less than a year, he has gradually caught up with him, and even faintly surpassed him.

The wheat-colored skin looks extremely healthy, and the arms and chest and abdomen have swollen lines—at least the arms that hugged him just now, clinging to his chest, all have a "manly" feeling.

Especially his eyes, which were deep and mysterious, looked carefully under the light, and there was a faint green light.

Probably because he noticed Lin Yanhong's gaze, Li Jingcheng immediately looked over. The sharpness and concentration at that moment made Lin Yanhong startled inexplicably.

——That is the gaze of a beast looking at its prey... People who are targeted can only shudder!

But soon, this palpitating gaze became gentle, as if Lin Yanhong was not a prey, but his treasure.

"Look...what are you looking at?" Lin Yanhong didn't know why his voice was a little unsteady: "You...have you decided where to go?"

"No." The other party said this sentence expressionlessly, frankly and helplessly.

Li Jingcheng suddenly grabbed Lin Yanhong's hand and tugged towards him, almost pulling him into his arms.

"you teach me."

Lin Yanhong finally stabilized his body and did not let him destroy the chess board. In the end, he could only helplessly and dotingly said: "Okay, I will teach you..."
