Chapter 12 Red Fruit

The servants of Li's mansion were also terrified by this scene. Some covered their mouths and noses and took a few steps back, while some opened their eyes wide and stared at all this in shock.The tea merchant couldn't stand the excitement, so he glanced at it and passed away.So the servants were crying and shouting again, and they were in a mess up and down.

Shen Huaiyu didn't care much about the tragedy, he went up to check on the child, and wiped some filth on his hands from the side, and found that the child had died long ago, and the black pile on the ground was blood.

Ye Qinqin seemed at a loss in this chaos.She cautiously leaned over and asked Shen Huaiyu who had retreated: "Uncle Huaiyu, what should we do?"

Shen Huaiyu took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands: "What else can I do? Ask Li's family to bury his old lady, and bring this child back to Xu's family. The previous matter has come to an end."

Ye Qinqin let out an "oh" and looked at the Li family in a mess. Although he couldn't bear it, he followed Shen Huaiyu's instructions.

When the Xu family took the child's body from Ye Qinqin, the women's family wept, but they still expressed their gratitude to them for finding the child.After finishing all this, Ye Qinqin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to the sect together with Shen Huaiyu and Lu Huaiyuan.

The results did not last long.

Not half a month later, the tea merchant came to his senses, trembling up the mountain, vowing to ask Qing Yunzong for an explanation.Li Xuan was shocked when he found out what Lu Huaiyuan had done, and Shen Lin was not in the sect at this time, so he hurriedly reported to Zhang Xinglan.

Zhang Xinglan was so angry that he was half dead, so he sent someone to appease Li Tea Merchant first, while he took the rattan sticks and went to Hanyu Garden to question Lu Huaiyuan Xingshi.

Lu Huaiyuan had just practiced sword at this time and was feeding the fish.The reason why Hanlu Garden is called Hanlou Garden is all because of the lotus pond in the garden.There are also lotus ponds in other courtyards of Qingyunzong, with different sizes.Lu Huaiyuan lived in the largest pool in the garden, and every year when the flowers bloomed, the blossoming lotus flowers looked like girls in Huaichun, beautiful and beautiful, forming a landscape of its own, so the courtyard was named Hanyuan Garden.There are many fish in his lotus pond, and the small red fish swim among the lotus leaves, which is very interesting.So Lu Huaiyuan likes to tease the fish in the water when he is free.

As soon as Zhang Xinglan entered the courtyard, he saw Lu Huaiyuan harming the fishes by the pool, and became even angrier: "You're still playing! They've all come to you, the cause of the trouble!"

Lu Huaiyuan was still bending over to fish: "...what are you talking about?"

Zhang Xinglan said: "Don't pretend like you don't know what happened, let me ask you, did you kill the old birthday star of the Li family?"

Lu Huaiyuan straightened his waist: "No."

"You still say no!" Zhang Xinglan said, "More than a dozen people have seen it. You ignored the dissuasion of others and killed that old lady!"

Lu Huaiyuan said lightly: "The old lady died before I touched her. I just took away the opportunity for that evil beast to continue occupying her shell. Blame me?"

Zhang Xinglan was trembling with anger, and shook the rattan whip in his hand: "Did you check carefully before you do it!? Have you ever tried to get rid of the evil thing without hurting the old lady!? Your master is in the sect all year round. I don't have much time, others always say that I am biased, so I will punish you, why don't they see how reassuring your senior brother is!"

Lu Huaiyuan said: "It's okay, don't mention my senior brother. This time I did it alone, so just punish me."

Zhang Xinglan sneered: "When you come to righteousness, you take the matter on yourself. Are you happy to be a hero? They are also responsible for this matter. I will punish them later. You come here first!"

Although it was midsummer, Lu Huaiyuan suddenly felt a chill when the cool wind blew past.

He was naked to the waist, knelt in the yard and stood under the rattan cane.

He was not as obedient as Shen Huaiyu, and he was often punished, but this time Zhang Xinglan was really angry, and he didn't show mercy at all. Every time he smoked, Lu Huaiyuan felt a sharp pain in his back.

Qing Yunzong's face was on top, so he couldn't help being angry.The people at the bottom of the mountain didn't know the truth, they didn't know who Lu Huaiyuan was, they saw and heard only one thing - the disciples of Qingyun Sect were tyrannical and killed innocent people indiscriminately.

Lu Huaiyuan also knew that he was wrong. Shen Huaiyu told him many times to change his temper, but he didn't listen.He didn't say anything else, he just straightened his back and touched Zhang Xinglan's rattan.

Children of this age can no longer play.Children are naughty and ignorant when they are young, and every family uses pain to educate their children—those deep-seated pain senses engrave the concept of right and wrong, honor and disgrace into the souls of children, so that they can be upright people when they grow up .Lu Huaiyuan is seventeen years old, and his mind has matured. It would be outrageous for his elders to beat him like this.Zhang Xinglan thought about his seniority, and many people in the sect wanted to call him Shishu, to save him face, so he beat him in this garden.

Even so, some disciples rushed over when they heard the news, and hid at the base of the courtyard gate and wall to peek and listen.Lu Huaiyuan had a thin skin, his ears were flushed with shame, his hands on his knees were tightly clenched into fists, his nails were digging into his flesh, his forehead was covered with sweat, but he still held on with a calm face.

Zhang Xinglan practiced while pumping. I don't know how long the training lasted. At the end, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't listen to anything. Zhang Xinglan's words turned into a cloud of flying mosquitoes and scattered in the air, while his ears were blank.

He only remembered that Zhang Xinglan had finally finished his lesson, threw the rattan whip and turned to leave.He stood up tremblingly, walked a few steps towards the room, and then fell over.

When Lu Huaiyuan woke up again, he was lying on his bed, with burning pain in his back.He tried to touch it with his backhand, and found that there was hardly a good piece of meat on his back.

Zhang Xinglan is not as good as Shen Lin, but he is the deputy suzerain of Qing Yunzong, and there are a lot of people below who call him master and master. Compared with him, Lu Huaiyuan is still too tender.

He gave up getting up and wanted to sleep again, but the pain in his back made him unable to fall asleep. He was tired and painful, and he was in a daze, and had a dream about his childhood.

In the dream, Shen Huaiyu was his own brother, but he didn't like him like Lu Gaozhuo. They grew up together, studied with the teacher, and ran out to fly kites together. No matter what Lu Huaiyuan did wrong, Shen Huaiyu would comfort him with a smile: " Jun'er, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Then in a blink of an eye, Shen Huaiyu's face gradually overlapped with Lu Gaozhuo's again, and he said very coldly: "Go, I don't want you anymore."

I don't want you anymore...

Lu Huaiyuan fell into an ice cave.

It was already late at night when he woke up again, and a dim oil lamp was burning in the room.There was a coolness on his back, which was very comfortable, so he subconsciously turned his head to see who it was, but when he moved his shoulder, it caused a sharp pain.

"Huaiyuan, don't move." Shen Huaiyu's voice came from behind, "Just lie down for a few days."

He applied a kind of ointment on Lu Huaiyuan's back along the wound.The ointment was a bit cool, and it relieved Lu Huaiyuan's burning pain on his back very well.

Lu Huaiyuan asked: "Brother, why are you here?"

Shen Huaiyu replied: "I heard about Zhang Xinglan's punishment of you, so come over here quickly. When I got here, I happened to see how you fell when you were walking into the house."

Lu Huaiyuan was extremely tired: "This ointment?"

Shen Huaiyu said calmly, "I just went down the mountain to buy it."

Qing Yunzong didn't use such wound medicine very much, so Shen Huaiyu went looking for it, but couldn't find it for a while, so he went down the mountain.After going back and forth for a long time, I only came here in the middle of the night.

The air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, and the cool feeling behind his back made Lu Huaiyuan feel very comfortable. He lay down again and sighed.

"...Don't blame Uncle Xinglan," Shen Huaiyu said, "He was also in a hurry. He was the one who dealt with the tea merchant, and it took him a long time to convince him."

"I know." Lu Huaiyuan said, "This is my fault."

"You said this earlier, why bother to suffer this, he has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted." Shen Huaiyu finished applying the ointment, put it aside, and washed his hands in the basin beside him.

"By the way," he took something as if he just remembered, "I brought you this."

What he was holding in his hand was something wrapped in oiled paper. When the oiled paper was removed, he saw that it was a bunch of candied haws.

In summer, the weather is hot, and the sugar on the candied haws is easy to melt. It doesn't look so good, but it can barely be regarded as a crystal clear layer, wrapped on the hawthorn.It was impossible for Lu Huaiyuan to eat directly, so Shen Huaiyu took a small bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and picked off the hawthorns on the bamboo stick one by one.He moved a stool and sat beside Lu Huaiyuan's bed: "Open your mouth."

Lu Huaiyuan reluctantly turned his head away: "I'm so old, I still eat this."

Shen Huaiyu sighed: "When I was shopping at the market earlier, I saw you peeking at the candied haws."

Lu Huaiyuan no longer refused, opened his mouth and took a hawthorn in his mouth, and chewed it a few times.

Shen Huaiyu asked, "Is it delicious?"

With something in his mouth, Lu Huaiyuan said vaguely, "It's delicious."

He swallowed the sweet and sour red fruit, and decided to ignore the previous chaotic dream. Shen Huaiyu was completely different from Lu Gaozhuo, and Shen Huaiyu was always by his side.
