Difficult to live with a sword

Cold comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter hides.There are only four seasons in a year. After summer, autumn will pass in a flash.On the day when the first snowflakes fell in the mountains, Fang Yigu ushered in his No.11 birthday.

That day he dragged Ouyang Du and ran all over the mountain, from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, and then from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, he asked Ouyang Du to lift him up, and he raised his hands above his head and shouted towards the valley: "Fang Yigu will definitely become a hero—" The voice was too long.

Ouyang Du asked him with a smile: "What do you want to be a hero?"

Fang Yigu said loudly: "I want to avenge my father and protect you."

Ouyang Du smiled, noncommittal, took Fang's remains to climb trees in the mountains to play.

The square bone monkey ran up the tree like a monkey, stood on the top, and, hunting in the wind, lifted the corner of his clothes.

Ouyang Du joked: "Okay, climbing trees is so smooth, you often lazy to climb trees on weekdays. I heard from Mr. Shen that you didn't go to several classes."

Fang Yigu yelled that he was wronged, and even found an excuse for himself: "It's not for nothing that you practice light work on weekdays."

Ouyang Du smiled, jumped up the tree, and jumped off the ground with Fang's bone in his arms, Fang's bone lost his mind immediately, hugged Ouyang Du and yelled, and did not dare to let go when he got off the ground.

Just listening to the top of his head, Ouyang Du smiled and said: "Just your three-legged cat's lightness kung fu? It's really a waste of practice."

Fang Yigu was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl down, his little face flushed, and he didn't know how to explain.

After raising Fang Yigu for half a year, Fang Yigu's face became more fleshy and became much whiter. His eyes were bright and his teeth looked like lacquer spots. Ouyang Du liked it when he saw it, so he stopped teasing him and patted his head. "Let's go down the mountain. It's your birthday today, I asked Feihua to cook noodles for you."

Fang Yigu pouted, and said softly: "Your legs are weak, you carry me on your back!"

Ouyang Du shook his head helplessly, saying that the child didn't recognize his birth, no, after only half a year of raising him, he has changed from a dark and skinny boy to this sunny, cheerful, silly boy who can act like a baby.He put Fang Yigu on his back, Fang Yigu put his arms around his shoulders, leaned his head on his shoulders, and shook his calf once and for all.

Suddenly, Fang Yigu asked, "When is your birthday?"

Ouyang Du smiled, "Forgot. It's not my birthday."

Fang Yigu frowned, "How can it not be my birthday?" He sighed suddenly, as if he understood something: "Your parents have passed away too. After my mother passed away, no one celebrated my birthday."

Ouyang Du nodded, and suddenly, Fang Yigu jumped off his back, ran to him, and said, "But I still have to pass! When I was still in the fishing village, I would do it by myself, go to the sea to catch a fish." , grilled and eaten on the beach.”

He paused, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "So, tell me."

Ouyang Du was stunned, the child's spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end was really similar to his father.He was abandoned in the mountains when he was young, and was later picked up by the Holy Cult. No one ever told him his birthday, and no one told him that it was a day worth celebrating.

Until he met that person, the man said: "How can people not have a birthday? Well, you are my brother. We swear to live and die together. You will be born with me. Remember it on the seventh day of the seventh month. It's your birthday."

He murmured: "The seventh day of July."

"Huh?" Fang Yigu said, "Mother said, my father was born on the seventh day of the seventh month."

Ouyang Du nodded, "Yes. I will live with him forever."

"Oh." Fang Yigu didn't know why, feeling a little depressed, he bowed his head and walked ahead, and said to himself: "It's only the beginning of November, July [-]th next year, it's still a long time away. Hey..."

Ouyang Du was amused by him, patted the back of his head, and said: "Hurry up, your face will turn into a paste after a while."

"Ah! That's not acceptable." After finishing speaking, the child ran down the mountain.

Ouyang Du inadvertently bent his brows and eyes with a smile.

Soon after the birthday, it is the New Year.Half a month ago, Feihua led people to hang up lanterns inside and outside Feihua Xiaozhu. At night, the house was brightly lit and glowing red. He even ordered a red robe for Fang Yigu and Ouyang Du.

Ouyang Du thought it was ugly and refused to wear it, so Feihua threatened Fang's bones to be replaced, otherwise he would report him for blackmailing Mr. Shen.

Fang remains helpless, that's what Mr. Shen himself said!As long as he listens carefully to the class, he will be given one tael of silver every month.How could it be blackmail?

Feihua stretched out her middle finger, shook it, and said in a secret way: "Mr. Shen contributed both money and effort. Who would believe you say that! Come on, put it on."

"Don't wear it!"

"You go out and climb a tree once a month!"

"Don't wear it!"

"You steal chicken legs in the middle of the night!"

"Don't wear it!"

"Wear it. Little ancestor, little baby, kiss the young master..."

"I wear!"

Seeing Feihua pouted and getting closer and closer, Fang Yigu compromised.

Feihua put on a victory pose and quickly changed his clothes.

At night, Fang's remains wore a red padded jacket to attend the New Year's Eve banquet.At the round table, Ouyang Du in white was the main seat, and on both sides sat the old man Shen Sui and Wang Xing who hadn't seen him for half a year. Both of them were wearing red clothes. Looking at the needlework, it might be similar to the one on Fang Yigu's body. .

Feihua was also seated at the same place, but she herself was wearing a delicate red dress, which was completely different from the three of them!

Ouyang Du saw the clothes of Fang's bones, suppressed a smile, and waved to him, motioning for the bones to sit beside him.On the round table, there are all glutinous rice balls, still steaming.

But no one moved their chopsticks, they were all listening to Ouyang Du's instruction.Fang Yigu only dared to sit still, swallowing uncontrollably.

In the past six months, he gradually understood that whether it was Old Man Shen, the literati teacher, or Wang Xing, the martial artist, they were Ouyang Du's subordinates.

As for Ouyang Du's suitability, he didn't know, and no one told him.

Ouyang Du cleared his throat, Fei Hua, Shen Sui, and Wang Xing sat up straight, and Fang Yi Gu also raised his back, making Fei Hua chuckle.

Ouyang Du looked down at him, and picked up a purple potato dumpling for him, "You eat first, after you finish eating, let Fei Hua take you to play, you don't need to practice swords and read sword manuals tonight."

"Yeah!" Fang Yigu yelled in surprise, after wolfing down a bowl of glutinous rice balls, he was about to eat a second bowl when Ouyang Du stopped him unexpectedly.

Fang Yigu sighed, "I thought I could eat more during the Chinese New Year." After speaking, he remembered something again, stood up excitedly, bowed to Feihua, Shen Sui, and Wang Xing respectfully, and said, "May Feihua My sister has a similar beauty every year, Mr. Shen is always strong, and Master Wang will marry a wife as soon as possible. May everyone have a good life every year and have more than every year."

Everyone was busy praising the child, and even Shen Sui gave Fang Yi Gu a good look.Fang Yigu rolled his eyes and said, "So what about the New Year's money?"

The three of them were taken aback for a moment, and they all gave up their money.

Ouyang Du said with a smile: "Bone, you haven't paid New Year's greetings to me yet."

Fang Yigu walked over with a smile, hugged him, and said softly: "Ouyangdu, happy new year. Come, I'll give you the lucky money."

Ouyang Du felt his legs sink, it was Fang Yigu who gave him all the money he got just now.

Ouyang Du was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, Fang Yigu had already run away with Feihua.

Running out of the front hall, Feihua said: "Young master, don't run away, no one will come after you."

Fang Yigu stopped and laughed. "Sister Feihua, I'm so happy."

"What's there to be happy about?" Feihua asked, "Why did you give all the money to the young master?"

Fang Yi said solemnly: "The New Year's money should be handed over to parents and loved ones."

Fei Hua smiled, "Who is that young master?"

Fang Yigu stuck out his tongue, "Guess."

Feihua couldn't help laughing, she was still a child after all.

Many years later, Feihua told Ouyang Du about this, and a cluster of sparks ignited in Ouyang Du's eyes, which disappeared instantly.

In the hall, the round table was removed.

Ouyang Du stood at the door with his hands behind his back, watching Feihua and Fang's bone fight in a snowball fight, while Shen Sui and Wang Xing were still pleading for orders inside the room, "Young master, the Holy Master is critically ill, and the palace master is calling you back to the helm. The four palace masters are all coveting this position Well. I hope you set off quickly."

Ouyang Du pondered for a while, and said: "Do you think there will be a holy leader?"

The two of Shen Wang were stunned, and only listened to Ouyang Du said: "Five years ago, the holy religion won a great victory in Luoyang, and its power became stronger and stronger, but the leader was seriously injured because of this, and he was unable to manage the holy religion, so all the educational affairs were handed over to the master of the fourth palace. .To this day, the leader has long been unable to control the four palaces. The four palace masters are in charge of their own affairs, who would hand over their own courtyard to others? Be someone else's servant?"

Shen Sui thought for a while, and said: "Although it is so, the holy religion has lasted for a hundred years, and there has never been a split."

Ouyang Du sneered, and asked back: "Didn't the Holy Cult also separate from the Guangming Cult in the past, and was unified by the leader Axisha?"

Wang Xing said: "Then... shall we go back?"

Ouyang Du nodded, brushed his fingers over the three thousand leaves, the mechanical sound clicked, and there was a happy smile on his face. "Go back naturally. However, I have to ask the opinions of the two of you..."

King Shen and the two knelt down and said in unison: "But according to the son's order! If you are so heartbroken, you will never regret it!"

Ouyang Du suppressed his smile, a stern look flashed in his eyes.

"I want the Poison Palace to change hands, and the Holy Church will be divided into four parts. And you will guard this small building from the past for me. Do you understand?"

The two said: "Understood!"

Ouyang Du helped the two of them up, patted their shoulders, and said: "I have sent someone to pick up your wives and children, and they will be here tomorrow. You go down the mountain to pick them up."

The two turned pale, nodded, and left with a heavy expression.

Ouyang Du stepped out of the front hall to search for Fang's remains, and then turned out of a corridor, a snowball flew towards him and landed on his head.

"Hahaha!" Following the prestige, he saw Fang's remains lying on the ground, pounding the ground and laughing loudly.

Ouyang Du shook his head, stepped on the snow and walked over, squatted down, and said softly: "Bones, it's cold in the ground, get up quickly."

"Oh." Fang Yigu stood up, Ouyang Du patted the snow on his body, and asked, "Where's Feihua?"

The bone thief Fang left said with a smile: "She threw that snowball just now, and she has already run away."

Ouyang Du said: "Really?"

At this time, Fei Hua turned around, holding a cloak in his hands, "Young Master, put it on quickly, don't catch a cold."

Seeing Ouyang Du, she said in shock, "My lord? Why are your clothes wet?"

Ouyang Du smiled and shook his head, "It's okay. Is the hot water ready?"

Feihua put a cloak on Fang's remains and said, "It's already prepared."

Ouyang Du said: "Go and pack your things, I will take the remains to take a bath."

"Yes."

Fei Hua turned around and went in the opposite direction from them.

Fang Yigu held Ouyang Du by his arm and shook, "I lied, aren't you angry?"

Ouyang Du stared at him tenderly: "I will forgive you for whatever you do."

Fang Yigu stared at him blankly, and suddenly said: "I won't lie to you again."

Ouyang Du smiled, knelt down and touched Fang's forehead with his forehead.

"Bones, Happy New Year."

Ouyang Du put a silver ring on him, Fang Yigu raised his hand and exclaimed, "Three thousand leaves?"
