a ruthless swordsman

184.

All year round, my favorite is winter.

Parents and senior brothers celebrate my birthday every year. It wasn't long before I beat Xie Ling last time, and my 16th birthday is approaching.

Somehow, my heart was a little hairy.

Maybe it's because of my past life experience, I always worry that this is my last birthday.

Death is not terrible, if you stab the heart, you will die instantly, and the pain will not last long.

The living are the hardest.

The third brother is still retreating in Jianya, getting thinner day by day, I was anxious, and brought a box full of chicken, duck and fish to him, he ate it, but he didn't swallow much.

When I came out of Jianya, there was a thin snowfall outside.

Xie Ling came to pick me up with an umbrella, stuffed a copper pot into my hand, and said with a smile: "Master is also cooking today, and he told us not to tell you anything."

"Then you still tell me?"

Xie Ling looked at my pale face from the cold, smiled and did not answer.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it is time to eat Baxia offering in the days of ice and snow.My father really cooked a few small dishes and put them one by one next to the copper stove, just waiting for Xie Ling and me to come back.

Mrs. Yun seldom showed a smile, and she didn't stop the senior brother from pouring wine, she covered her sleeves and took small sips of vegetables.

The candles flickered, the lanterns fell, and the warm yellow light reflected under your feet.The elder brother and my father toasted and drank, I saw him looking back from time to time, and raised his hand to stop the sister-in-law's chopsticks, preventing her from picking up the cold water shield in the plate.

My mother smiled and said: "Mu'er doesn't have to be so nervous, it's not a cold thing, it won't hurt to eat less."

I looked back and forth at the few people at the table with my eyes, wondering if I missed something during the half hour I went to Jianya.

Xie Ling suddenly reached out and patted my lower abdomen.

I raised my foot and counterattacked back. Naturally, such a small gesture could not be hidden from my father's eyes. He scolded in a deep voice, "You two, be safe!"

"Oh—" I elongated my voice and muttered to Xie Ling, "Why did you hit me?"

Xie Ling hesitated to speak, hesitated for a long time, but the senior brother smiled and said: "Junior brother, in more than half a year, your seniority will rise!"

I reacted.

...It turned out that he was going to be a father.

185.

Good thing, it's a good thing.

Double happiness in the eyes of others is a good thing, I shouldn't break the happy atmosphere.

I finished my meal with a smile on my face, and walked back to the backyard with Xie Ling.

It has been snowing for two hours, and there are thin snowdrifts piled up on the bluestone road, and one foot deep and one shallow foot stepped on the snow, leaving shoe prints all the way.

Originally, our senior brothers lived in the same courtyard, but the first senior brother moved out before getting married, the second senior brother's room has been vacant, and the third senior brother also went to Jianya for the time being, now only me and Xie Ling are left.

The melted snow was dripping from the eaves, I went into the house and got a broom, and as soon as I stepped out the door, Xie Ling grabbed my wrist.

"The snow won't stop for a while, let's sweep it tomorrow." He snatched the broom from my hand, dragged me into his room, murmured under the bed, and brought out an unopened jar of wine.

Xie Ling proudly said: "How can you not drink alcohol while eating Baxia offerings? It's fine if you can't drink it on weekdays, but today is your birthday, so it's okay for us to drink a little secretly."

The two reasons he gave didn't convince me, but I still opened the seal of the wine jar.

There needs to be a reason to want to get drunk.

186.

The wine is still plum wine, and the drinkers are the same two people at that time. The only thing that has changed is that it is snowing heavily today, and the moonlight cannot be enjoyed, so I have to nest in the room and light a charcoal fire.

I stretched out my hand to warm the fire on the charcoal basin, and said lazily: "Just now my father talked to you about something, and you rejected it without even thinking about it?"

As soon as today is over, I'm going to be seventeen. Xie Ling has been my elder for three years, and I will be twenty next spring.

Ordinary people start to worry about marriage when they are fifteen or sixteen, what's more, they can't decide the marriage by themselves, and the marriage is settled when they are still in the mother's womb.

Although the Ruthless Sword Sect has the name of the Monk Temple, it is not dedicated to the Buddha, and dare not pollute the clear hearing of the Bodhisattva Buddha.

The girl who fell in love with the third brother at the first sight at the Qunhao Association was married and had two children, a boy and a girl, which happened to be perfect.

The third senior brother is still alone, standing alone.

There are many sects in the Jianghu who are willing to marry Wuqing Jianzong. In comparison, Xie Ling has become a sweet pastry that everyone pays attention to.

Xie Ling has no father and no mother, so it makes sense for my father to take care of the marriage.

That cheap brother doesn't count.

My father has received many olive branches from old friends overtly and covertly, and it would be too unkind to refuse, so I had to check Xie Ling's tone again.

Unexpectedly, Xie Ling is like a clam shell with its mouth closed, no matter how beautiful a girl is, he can't get into his eyes.He seems determined to follow the third senior brother, and he also wants to compete in the matter of beating the bachelor.

Xie Ling became furious when he heard that, he took a hasty sip of wine, covered his face with the rim of the cup, and said stiffly: "The master married his wife when he was young, and the elder brother also married his wife in his early twenties. The elders are all in front. What am I in a hurry for?"

I thought for a while and asked: "Last time in the capital, you asked me what kind of girl I like, what about you, brother?"

Xie Ling's eyes flickered a little: "Why are you asking this?"

"Isn't this a small chat between our seniors?" I picked up the wine jar and poured half a glass, and moved to Xie Ling's side, "I just don't understand, Brother Ling, you said that a person's mind can change Is it? For example, if you like a gentle and virtuous woman before, will you fall in love with a domineering and savage woman?"

Xie Ling looked at me, hesitating slightly: "...Axue, do you have a sweetheart?"

"No, no, how could it be me, talking about someone else."

I tapped Xie Ling's knee: "Don't guess, if it were me, I would have told you directly, I wouldn't beat around the bush like this."

He was confused for a moment, as if he was searching for the relevant person in his mind, but he couldn't find the corresponding person, so he had to give up.

"It's also possible. Some men are attracted to girls of the same age when they are in their teens, but they will only be attracted to young girls when they are skinny and gray-haired. Temperament is not important to some people, but appearance is."

Xie Ling honestly criticized the common faults of men, as if he had just realized it, he quickly disregarded the relationship and defended himself: "But I am not. If I like someone, I will never only care about appearance."

I was wandering in the sky at the moment, dialing the charcoal in the charcoal basin.Thinking that it might be due to fate, the eldest brother is not a person who faces Qin Muchu, and he is just destined to have no relationship with Sister Cheng.

Hearing Xie Ling's words, he replied casually: "Well, appearance is really not that important, it's good to have a compatible temperament. Brother Ling, from now on, you have to find a sister-in-law with a softer temperament, otherwise the girl will give you the same. mad."

Xie Ling frowned and said, "Am I having a bad temper?"

"It's not that you have a bad temper, it's that you are impatient and noisy." I shook the wine jar, there was not much left in it, presumably I had too much to drink, so I told Xie Ling what I would not normally reveal.

The room is filled with the fragrance of plum wine, and the crisp sound of sparkling seeds.

The cloak on my body was not removed, and it was warm by the charcoal fire.As soon as one gets drunk, one feels sleepy. I put down my wine glass, leaned sideways on Xie Ling's lap, and babbled. There was some logic at first, but the more I said, the more confused I became. In the end, I might not even understand it.

"I don't know what you did after that, did you come to Jianzong to see me again, did you secretly dig out the peach wine we buried together, do you often remember me..."

Oh, why are you talking about things from your previous life again.

I muttered, but Xie Ling couldn't hear clearly, only heard the word peach wine, leaned down and said: "A Xue, you are drunk, drink the peach wine some other day."

"Brother Ling, I really hate you."

Xie Ling's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Why?"

"You obviously lied to me so badly... But I still forgive you."
