Southern Anhui has been short of water in recent years, and Luomei Villa has been paying for water conservancy and waterwheels at the foot of the mountain.Jiang Wanzhou was generous, gave a lot of money, and handed over the matter to the housekeeper in the village, without asking much.Unexpectedly, this matter was done very well, and the people benefited a lot. The local gentry were full of praise for Luomei Villa.After the news of Jiang Wanzhou's return to the villa was known by the local magistrate, he came to invite Jiang Wanzhou to the city of Luzhou several times, and wanted to thank him on behalf of the common people. Now the celebrities in Luzhou city also want to get acquainted he.

Luomei Villa has a great reputation in the world, who wouldn't want to compete to get acquainted with Jiang Wanzhou?It's just the celebrities and dignitaries in Luzhou City, Jiang Wanzhou doesn't pay much attention to them, and he is not interested in these things, so he doesn't really want to go, but he can't help Gu Qingrou to persuade him: "Go, just go Have fun, they won't give up if they don't go, they think our villa is putting on airs." Jiang Wanzhou always listened to Gu Qingrou's words very much, so she agreed to go.

Just when I said I was going, a small head came out from behind Gu Qingrou and said loudly, "I want to go too, uncle, take me!" The owner of the head is Jiang Wanzhou's nephew, named Qiao Zhiyu is six years old.A nephew looks like an uncle, Qiao Zhiyu looks a lot like Jiang Wanzhou when he was young, but his temperament is different, he is still a naughty boy, playful and active, not as mature as Jiang Wanzhou when he was young.From the age of five, he lived in Luomei Villa for five months every year, learning swords from Gu Qingrou.At this moment Zongdie came back and heard Gu Qingrou's conversation with Jiang Wanzhou. He was so excited that he immediately asked Jiang Wanzhou to take him to play in Luzhou City.

"Zhiyu, uncle didn't go to play in Luzhou City." Jiang Wanzhou lowered her head to drink tea, and said seriously, "How is the sword technique that Granny Qing taught you?"

"It's not good, I haven't practiced yet." Qiao Zhiyu heard that he didn't want to take him there, tilted his head and looked at Gu Qingrou, hoping that she could intercede for him, but it was a pity that Gu Qingrou patted her. He patted his shoulder and said softly: "Xiao Yuyu, we have something to discuss, you can go and play by yourself for a while."

Qiao Zhiyu knew that it was useless to go out to play, so she left Xueyuwu dejectedly and went all the way to the back mountain.

At this time, Yao Ximu was lying under the pine tree in the back mountain with his hand as a pillow, watching two young men practicing sword not far away.After Jiang Wanzhou left that day, he didn't take Dusk with him, and Yao Ximu didn't mention returning the sword again.Occasionally, I will go up to the back mountain with dusk to practice swordsmanship, and it seems that I am regaining my confidence.

The two teenagers who practiced swords were dead soldiers sent by Heju Valley not long ago, they were only thirteen or fourteen years old, one of them had lively eyebrows, nimble hands and feet, and knocked down his opponent in two or three strokes.

Yao Ximu couldn't help applauding: "That's right, Ning Xiao." He stood up, walked to the boy named Ning Xiao, helped him up the boy who fell on the ground, and said to Ning Xiao: "I Seeing that your martial arts methods are very familiar, your swordsmanship was taught by Qin Laoliu of Crane Valley, right?"

Ning Xiao nodded: "Yes." He looked at Yao Ximu and said with admiration on his face: "I heard about it in Heju Valley, you are Mr. Yao, and Mr. Qin's swordsmanship was taught by you. Back then You are in Crane Valley, and your swordsmanship is unrivaled."

"Really? That's what you said about me after I left?"

"That's right, who among the children in Crane Valley doesn't know Mr. Yao?"

Yao Ximu didn't expect him to have such a reputation in Heju Valley, so he smiled and said, "It's really great that I can get the name of a gentleman."

"Mr. Yao, can you give me some advice?" Ning Xiao looked up at Yao Ximu.

"No problem." Yao Ximu smiled at Ning Xiao: "My swordsmanship is not amazing, it is far behind the young master, but I can teach you a few tricks."

"Thank you, Mr. Yao!" Ning Xiao was surprised and delighted, extremely excited.

Yao Ximu pulled out Twilight and demonstrated for him in person.His right hand hadn't fully returned to normal, and he was a little sluggish in using the sword, not as smooth as before, and it was indeed enough to demonstrate to others.

Ning Xiao's eyes straightened, and Yao Ximu slowed down again to demonstrate this set of sword skills, asking him to make gestures with him while giving instructions.

A pine branch came through the air, blocking Ning Xiao's sword aggressively.Yao Ximu turned his head and saw a child who looked a lot like Jiang Wanzhou when he was young, his lips were tightly pressed, and he was about to challenge Ning Xiao.

"Hey." Yao Ximu knelt down, pinched Qiao Zhiyu's pink cheeks, and teased, "You are Xiao Zhiyu, right? I heard you were in the villa, but we have never seen it before."

"Who are you?" Qiao Zhiyu was only staring at the sword move before, and didn't see Yao Ximu clearly, so he saw him clearly now.The pine branch in his hand fell to the ground, and Qiao Zhiyu let out an "ah", but was suddenly speechless.

I don't know if Yao Ximu made the sun more dazzling, or the sun made Yao Ximu more dazzling.

Qiao Zhiyu stammered and asked, "Are you...a god? Or a monster?"

"Monster!" Yao Ximu laughed loudly, and stretched out his hands to grab him: "The kind that wants to eat children!"

"Don't lie to me." Qiao Zhiyu raised his head, "I saw your sword, you are a swordsman like me!"

Yao Ximu picked up the pine branch that fell on the ground, and made a few gestures casually, thinking he was very interesting, "You don't even have a sword, what kind of swordsman are you?"

"Grandma Qing said that I am still young, so I will use pine branches instead of swords for the time being." He put his hands on his hips, shaking his head, his face full of pride: "When I get a little older, I can use a sword. Grandma Qing has a room full of swords for me to choose from. Whichever one you want."

"Oh~ that's really amazing."

"You touched my sword, can you let me touch yours?" Qiao Zhiyu stared at Dusk in Yao Ximu's hand.

"Yes." Yao Ximu was not stingy, and handed him the evening.

The moment Qiao Zhiyu drew his sword out of its sheath, dusk sang, and the invisible sword energy cut his hand. He raised his bleeding hand to Yao Ximu's eyes in a daze: "It bit me, I obviously didn't touch the sword." blade."

"This sword is yours now." Yao Ximu said to him very calmly: "Bleeding out of the sheath, Dusk has chosen you to be his master."

"You mean, your sword chose me?"

Yao Ximu looked at the dusk, as if he saw the dawn he had lost, and it was the same way that the dawn chose him when he was young.With nostalgic eyes, he gently stroked the scabbard of Dusk, remembering that it was forged in the same furnace as Daybreak, and they were originally together.He recalled what Gu Qingrou had said to him back then, and told Qiao Zhiyu: "The sword has a sword spirit. When you choose the sword, the sword also chooses you. How many swordsmen have spent their lives pursuing the combination of human and sword The realm of oneness has never been found. It is because although he chose the sword, the sword did not choose him as its master."

Qiao Zhiyu was still young, so he didn't understand what he said, but he still couldn't help being overjoyed because he wanted to get a real sword, and asked three times: "Is it really for me?"

Yao Ximu pinched his face and jokingly said: "If you don't want it, give it back to me!"

Of course Qiao Zhiyu refused, holding onto the dusk without letting go, and solemnly bowed to Yao Ximu: "Qiao Zhiyu, thank you sir for giving me the sword!"

Jiang Wanzhou, who was walking up the back hill, happened to see this scene, and felt an inexplicable sour feeling in her heart.

With a good temper, he waited until Yao Ximu sent away Qiao Zhiyu, who was still full of feelings, before he came forward to ask Xingshi for his crime.

"Did you give the sword I gave you to someone else?"

"Isn't he your nephew? How can you say it's someone else?" Yao Ximu was stunned, "What's more, this child has aura, and it was Dusk who chose him. If you don't want to give it, I'll help you get it back." Yao Ximu Ximu lowered his voice as if he was seeing a ghost, and turned to hide uncomfortably.

"That's your sword, of course you can give it to him. I have no reason to want it back, and it won't save him from accusing me of bullying." Jiang Wanzhou pulled his shoulders and pulled him towards her.

Yao Ximu was a little embarrassed and struggled slightly, but he didn't dare to struggle too much, which annoyed Jiang Wanzhou, and he became a half-pushing and half-giving gesture.Jiang Wanzhou hugged him halfway, feeling a little better, and didn't want to worry about the sword any more, so she said softly, "I'm going to stay in Luzhou City for a few days, and I want to take you there with me."

Yao Ximu was startled, looked up at him, and said subconsciously: "What are you taking me for? I don't want to go." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he refused too quickly, and slowly explained: "Although I'm fine now Some, but it’s still not completely healed, my mind is still confused, and I want to be stupid from time to time. I’m like this, it’s fine in the villa, if I go out with you, I’ll make a fool of myself and embarrass you. It’s ugly, so I don’t want it. "

"Really not going?"

"Don't go."

Jiang Wanzhou looked at him with piercing eyes, leaned over and kissed his lips tenderly, and sighed: "I miss you very much now, as long as I don't take you with me, you will quarrel with me, You must come with me. I remember that in Jinling, you made a fuss in order to enter my house."

Yao Ximu turned his head to avoid his kiss, and replied as if sleepwalking: "I used to be the one who didn't know the depth, and always blasphemed to annoy you."

Jiang Wanzhou stared at his expression of refusal, and said to herself: I'd rather you quarrel with me than you are ignoring me now.

He missed the time when Yao Ximu was kind to him, and fell into extreme remorse: There is really regret medicine in the world, if you take it, you can make up for everything.

"I'll be back as soon as possible, I still have something to give you." Jiang Wanzhou glanced at Yao Ximu's face, and asked tentatively, "You are waiting for me at home, okay?"

Yao Ximu was afraid that he would be angry, so he didn't dare to refuse directly.Just pretending to be stupid and stunned, wandering around without answering.He refused to go to Luzhou with Jiang Wanzhou, so Jiang Wanzhou had no choice but to let it go and took Anxiang Liuhe with him.

April is here, this is the most beautiful time of the year, everything in the world is thriving, the wild flowers on the grass are blooming everywhere, like stars.

Yao Ximu's slump was wiped away, and he looked like he could turn over a new leaf and start a new life.

Lin Shuyu felt his pulse this day, but he hasn't said anything yet.Yao Ximu couldn't help but poked his head and asked him: "Senior brother, how are you doing?"

Lin Shuyu laughed before saying anything, grabbed his hand and shook it. Yao Ximu's hand was warm and slender, with thin palm and soft knuckles. It was beautiful, but it didn't look like a blessed one.

Most of the things that are too beautiful have a bad fate.

Lin Shuyu hoped that Yao Ximu would be well, and tried his best to heal his injuries, and was also willing to heal his heart.
