Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

The Patriarch of the Fu family warmly introduced the black horse, saying that this horse is a top-quality hard-earned horse bought from the west.But today I'm not here to show Lin Rufei a horse, but to let him try something new.

As he was talking, the servant standing beside him picked up a spoon, took a spoonful of hot soup and walked towards the black horse, Lin Rufei immediately frowned when he saw this, and said, "Wait a minute. He turned his head to look at the master of the Fu family, and said, "Are you making donkey meat?"

The master of the Fu family was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said frankly: "Mr. Lin is indeed well-informed, and even knows this!"

Poured donkey meat is a very famous dish, not because of how delicious it tastes, but because of the cruel way of making this dish.The first is to boil a pot of hot soup, and pour the soup directly on the live donkey. After the hot soup has cooked the donkey meat, use a sharp knife to cut the donkey meat alive. Both are still alive.This way of eating can keep the freshness of the ingredients to the greatest extent, so even if it is very cruel, some people still want to try it.

Lin Rufei had also seen it in the book, and when she saw the man's actions, she immediately understood what they wanted to do.

The owner of the Fu family smiled and said: "It's just that the donkey meat is a bit tired, so we want to try something else. I think the horse is handsome, and the taste must be good. Today, there happened to be a distinguished guest, so I let the cook set it up. This dish."

Lin Rufei made a stop gesture and said, "No need."

The Patriarch of the Fu family wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Lin Rufei's expression was indifferent, and even his eyes were full of hesitation, so he had no choice but to say: "Since Mr. Lin doesn't like it, then don't eat it."

"However, animals eat grass and humans eat animals. It's a matter of the cycle of heaven." The head of the family seemed worried that Lin Rufei would mind, so he persuaded, "Mr. Lin, don't mind."

"Yes." Lin Rufei had no expression on his face, and his tone was very light, he said, "It's understandable for horses to eat grass and people to eat horses, but as the leader of all things, people should have some etiquette and moral constraints. That cruel beast without intelligence in the wilderness used such cruel methods to satisfy its appetite."

He didn't save face for the Fu family this time, and he spoke very seriously. The head of the Fu family's smile froze on his face, and he hesitated for a while.

Because of this, Lin Rufei's expression was not very good at the next banquet, and the things on the table were not to his taste, most of them were extravagant and greasy dishes.The Patriarch of the Fu family tried to persuade him a few words at first, but seeing that he didn't show much face, he stopped talking later.

After dinner, Lin Rufei asked when Fu Yu would be back, and got up to leave.When he walked to the main hall, he saw that the man in purple was still there, looking at Lin Rufei with an unpleasant look.

Lin Rufei stared at it expressionlessly.

The man smiled and said, "Mr. Lin is full now?"

Lin Rufei nodded slightly, and was about to leave when she heard a man behind her say indifferently: "I think Mr. Lin's heart is really too good."

"What does it have to do with you?" Lin Rufei said coldly.Although he has a good temper, he is not at the mercy of others, the look in the eyes of the young master of the Fu family made him feel very unhappy when he first met, and now when he speaks, he doesn't hold back any politeness.

The young master of the Fu family said with a smile: "Whether donkeys or horses are born to be eaten, as for how to eat them, that is the freedom of the diners. Whether it is food or Jianghu, it is the same principle."

Lin Rufei understood what the young master of the Fu family meant, and raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile: "Then, young master Fu, what do you mean, as long as you are strong enough, you can do anything?"

The young master of the Fu family said: "That's the case."

Lin Rufei turned around and walked in front of him, said coldly: "Since the young master of the Fu family means that the strong are respected, then even if I cripple you here, you shouldn't complain, right?" After speaking, he raised his hand and pulled out Gu Yu from his waist, and the cold blade landed on Young Master Fu's shoulder the next moment.

The young master of the Fu family looked at Lin Rufei in a daze, as if he didn't expect why the seemingly weak and gentle young master of the Lin family would suddenly do such an extreme thing, without giving him the slightest face for the young master.

"I came here to send invitations to Fu Yu." Lin Rufei was expressionless, with frost in his eyes, and he said, "well water does not violate river water, I don't want to reason with you, and you don't think Tell me your reasoning." After finishing speaking, he put away the blade and sneered, "In case I really listen to it and treat you with your reasoning."

The young master of the Fu family lost that vain smile, but he didn't seem to be afraid either. He sighed and said that Mr. Lin's temper was really surprising.

Lin Rufei was too lazy to talk to him, so she turned and left.

This is probably the first time Lin Rufei has been so angry after leaving Kunlun. There is a weirdness everywhere in the Fu family, whether it is the farmers outside who seem to be starving to death, or the extravagant and exaggerated villa inside. , all give people an uncomfortable feeling, Lin Rufei has been in a bad mood since entering here.

The young master of the Fu family's words set his firecracker on fire, and then he felt a little better.

Seeing Lin Rufei's angry look, Gu Xuandu couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so angry?"

Lin Rufei said, "I'm upset looking at it."

Gu Xuandu looked around, and thoughtfully said: "This place is indeed not suitable for permanent residence." Don't look at the luxurious decorations everywhere, but the whole yard is gaudy, and most of the colors are darker, which makes people look at it. The heart is dry and depressed.

Lin Rufei sighed: "Fu Yu won't come back in more than ten days, I really don't feel relieved to give this invitation to his family." It is more at ease in the hand.

Gu Xuandu said: "That's right, how long will you stay here for a few days?"

Lin Rufei frowned: "It's better to live outside, if you give me such a pass every day..."

Gu Xuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Then draw the sword and cut off their heads!"

The two returned to the residence and saw Fuhua and Yurui playing with Momo. Momo's condition was much better than before. Although she was still hiding in the blanket, she was not shivering anymore.

Fuhua saw Lin Rufei came back with a smile, she got up quickly and said, "The young master is back, why don't you look very happy?"

Lin Rufei shook her head to indicate that she was fine, and said, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, a servant brought in some food just now, and Momo has eaten a lot. If the young master thinks the food over there is not to your taste, why don't I cook some porridge for you?" Fuhua asked, "Do it again. Two side dishes?" She was very experienced, and she could tell at a glance that Lin Rufei didn't move her chopsticks much.

Lin Rufei said: "Alright."

Fuhua and Yurui get up and go out, leaving only Lin Rufei and the well-behaved Momo in the room.Lin Rufei couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch his cheek, Momo didn't struggle when pinched, she just looked at Lin Rufei longingly, blinking his big black eyes innocently.

Lin Rufei felt happy, so she took out candy from her cuff, stuffed it into his mouth, and whispered, "Momo, don't tell sister, brother pinched you."

Momo hummed a little, chewing the candy seriously.

Only then did Lin Rufei smile, and Gu Xuandu saw Lin Rufei bullying the children beside him, so he said sourly, "Is his face comfortable to hold?"

Lin Rufei said, "It's not very comfortable." There was too little meat.

Gu Xuandu cheered up: "Otherwise, you can pinch mine and it will be more comfortable than his." He also brought his pretty face closer to him, signaling Lin Rufei to make a quick move.

Lin Rufei showed helplessness, and said that the seniors are hundreds of years old, so can you stop comparing them with a little doll of a few years old?Gu Xuandu was taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to be shocked by the words of hundreds of years old. He stared at Lin Rufei for a long time and said nothing. Seeing Gu Xuandu, the "steady" senior, stretch out his hand and pinch Momo's face with lightning speed.

Momo was still eating candy with puffy cheeks, a red handprint was pinched by Gu Xuandu on her little face.He was pinched like this, but he didn't cry, but it might hurt a little, and a thin layer of water vapor accumulated in his eyes, but after chewing two mouthfuls of sweet sugar, the water vapor faded away, and he muttered to himself It doesn't hurt or hurt.

It happened that the maid Fuhua came in from the outside, saw the red mark on Momo's face, and said: "Master, you should be gentle, the baby is tender, don't pinch it."

Lin Rufei couldn't argue, she could only stare at the childish senior.

Gu Xuan laughed presumptuously, and said, "Hey, it seems to feel good."

Lin Rufei murmured softly, "Your attack is too dark."

Gu Xuandu shamelessly said: "I'm not using any strength."

Lin Rufei thought to herself, who can bear your strength, he is just a little baby of a few years old, if he really wants to go all out, he must not take his face off directly.

Momo felt sleepy again after eating enough, Fuhua Yurui and the others asked someone for hot water, and gave him a simple bath.After washing it thoroughly, I realized that the child was actually very cute. I don't know what was on his face. If he hadn't washed it for a long time, he wouldn't be able to see his face clearly. However, his body was really thin, and his arms and legs were very thin. They are all like straw, and the people who see them feel distressed.

Because there were no clothes for children, Momo put on a loose coat, was hugged by Fuhua, and said that she would sleep with her at night.

Lin Rufei wanted to sleep with Momo at first, but there was a covetous senior beside her. In order to avoid red marks on Momo's face when she woke up the next morning, Lin Rufei had no choice but to let Momo follow her. spent.But girls' hearts are indeed much more delicate than men's. Although neither of them is married yet, they both look good when taking care of Momo.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, but the Fu family was still very lively, and the sound of laughter and slapstick from outside could be heard through the wall. Lin Rufei walked around the yard where she lived, and always wondered what the yard looked like. How strange, but for a while I couldn't find out what was strange.In the end, it was Gu Xuandu who woke him up, and he said: "There is not a single grass in this yard, so naturally it will not be very comfortable to live in."

Lin Rufei was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that there was really not a single weed in the entire yard, let alone trees.

"This is really strange." Lin Rufei bent down, picked up a little soil, looked carefully, and said doubtfully, "This soil doesn't look right." Some white granular particles were mixed in the black soil. Things, at first glance, look a bit like salt, "What's in the soil...is it salt?"

Gu Xuandu said: "It seems to be."

Lin Rufei wondered, "Why is there salt in the soil?"

Although this salt is not a rare item on their continent, it still needs to be bought with money. Who would deliberately sprinkle salt into the soil.

After thinking for a while, Gu Xuandu said, "I know a kind of soil that contains a lot of salt. After it rains, the salt in the soil will precipitate and float to the ground."

Lin Rufei frowned: "Is there such a place?"

"Yes." Gu Xuandu said, "This kind of land is barren, and even the most tenacious weeds cannot survive on it."

Finding out the reason for the lack of vegetation, Lin Rufei threw the soil in his hand and wondered, "Could it be that the only soil in the Fu family's yard is like this?"

Gu Xuandu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Lin Rufei planned to leave Fu's house sometime tomorrow to have a look around. Anyway, Fu Yu had more than ten days to come back. If he stayed at Fu's house every day, he might go crazy.

In the middle of the night, the noise outside gradually subsided, and Lin Rufei fell asleep on the couch.

After the beginning of summer, the weather has become hotter day by day. As soon as the sun rises in the morning, people can feel its great power. In addition, there is no shade in the yard, so hot people are really upset and irritable.

Lin Rufei lost her appetite due to the weather, and couldn't eat anything, so she drank half a bowl of porridge for breakfast and put down her chopsticks.

But even though he couldn't eat, Momo's appetite was very good. Almost all the leftover food on the dinner table went into his stomach. If Lin Rufei didn't stop him, he might be able to drink up the bottom of the pot. The small belly seems to be connected to something extraordinary. It is already swollen, but it seems to be able to fill in some more.

After Lin Rufei had eaten, she found an excuse to take the maids out of Fu's house. As for the steamed buns, they were put into a small pocket by Fuhua and brought out together.

On the street, the suffocating atmosphere of the Fu family has finally eased a lot. Although the buildings beside the road are still exaggerated, they are much stronger than the Fu family's ancestral house.

Lin Rufei first went to the store to buy a few small clothes that Momo could wear, and found a corner to change into for him, and then wanted to see if there were any interesting snacks around.

But to Lin Rufei's disappointment, the entire Zhuangzi walked down and didn't see any interesting things. The shops either sold jade or silk, almost all of them were valuables, and the places to eat were all formal. Restaurant, not a hawker in sight.To Lin Rufei, these things were really meaningless. He walked around and was very bored, so he found a teahouse and ordered a few cups of tea to cool off.

"What's the matter with this Fujiazhuang, there's not even a snack." Lin Rufei had already begun to miss the maltose in Gusu City.

Gu Xuan agreed.

Fuhua Yurui and the other two were also so hot that they lost energy, and said: "Not only snacks, this Fujiazhuang doesn't even have a tree."

"Not only are there no trees, but there is also no grass." Lin Rufei drank tea in a non-stop manner, "It's like living in a desert."

"That's right." Yu Rui said listlessly, "But looking outside the village, the vegetation is very lush... and the crops are growing well, it's just separated by a wall, why did it become like this."

Lin Rufei shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Looking at Momo, who is a local, she didn’t show any discomfort at all. She was drinking with relish in the tea bowl. The tea taste was not very good. , but it is obvious that Momo is not an ordinary child. After eating enough, he does not feel uncomfortable with this tea at all, and there is no problem in drinking a cup of tea in one go.

Lin Rufei looked at him seriously drinking tea with puffed cheeks, and his fingers suddenly felt a little itchy again, but since there was a senior who liked to join in the fun standing beside him, he didn't dare to stretch out his hand in the end.

"Why, young master, are you sleepy?" Fuhua asked.

"I'm a little tired." Lin Rufei rubbed the corners of her eyes and said wearily, "Is it too hot?"

"It seems to be a little hot." Fuhua said, "I'll go find them for some ice cubes later? Let's cool down the room first?"

Lin Rufei nodded and said yes.

The Fu family's ancestral house was boring, and the Zhuangzi was even more boring. Lin Rufei wandered around for a while, seeing the sun getting bigger and bigger, she went back.

It's just that on the way back, I saw a few chubby children playing in the corner of the Fu family village. Judging from their clothes, they should be from the Fu family, and they have a good family background. They are dressed in gorgeous silk and satin, with exaggerated jade pendants , and several servants followed behind him.

Lin Rufei took a few more glances, and those servants also cast their gazes at him. After seeing Lin Rufei, they smiled flatteringly and called Mr. Lin.

Lin Rufei was a little surprised. He said, "Oh? You know me." He had only been to the Fu family for a day, and he was recognized by others.

"Isn't this a distinguished guest at home, the master told us to cheer up." The servant smiled flatteringly.

"These children also belong to the Fu family?" Lin Rufei asked casually.

"Yes, yes." The servant replied, "It is the child of the young master Fu Yu."

Lin Rufei said, "Fu Yu's child? Which one?"

After hesitating for a moment, the servant replied in a low voice: "It's all..."

Lin Rufei was taken aback. There were five children in this group, and they all looked about the same age. They were all Fu Yu's children. This Fu Yu was really amazing.

Seeing Lin Rufei's surprised expression, the servant had no choice but to explain: "Mr. Lin, you don't know, my young master has a total of more than a dozen wives...so..."

So it seems that there is nothing strange about giving birth to five children at once.

Lin Rufei originally thought that Fu Yu, who had excellent swordsmanship, would be different, but after hearing what the servant said, her expectations for him instantly dropped to the bottom.Most of the powerful swordsmen Lin Rufei knew had the obsessive appearance of his second brother. Few of them would be obsessed with mortal things, but Fu Yu was an outlier among them.

But after all, it was in other people's territory, Lin Rufei couldn't say anything, nodded, then turned and left.

"Having more than a dozen wives...it's amazing." Yurui marveled, "If I have more than a dozen wives, how can I practice swords?" She glanced at Lin Rufei and said with a wink, "Speaking of This, the young master is almost at the age to get married."

Ordinary people, if they are in their 20s and have passed the five realms of cultivation, it is indeed time to start thinking about getting married, but Lin Rufei is in a special situation. He is already in poor health and his family loves him. If he wants a wife, I'm afraid I can find a suitable one right away. If I don't want it, my family will definitely not force it.

"Let's talk about it later." Lin Rufei was not interested in this, "I have that spare time..." It's better to practice sword skills with Gu Xuandu.Of course, Lin Rufei didn't say the last sentence.

Those children looked at Lin Rufei, an outsider, curiously. Their chubby faces were in stark contrast to Momo. They greeted each other and left.

Going back to the house under the scorching sun, Lin Rufei felt that she was sweating all over, and spent all her time asking for ice cubes. By the way, she asked Lin Rufei for a bucket of clean water for bathing, just in time for Lin Rufei to wash it off Body.

Momo crawled out of the bag and sat obediently beside him. Seeing that he was bored, Fuhua took a piece of shortbread from the table and handed it to him for him to eat and play with.With food, Momo can almost stay quietly on that stool for a whole day. He is not hungry now, and he is not so hungry when he eats. He gnaws the shortbread in small bites. After eating half of it, he sees no one around. He quietly stuffed it into his clothes.Fuhua and the others were too busy not to see his movement, if they saw it, they would feel distressed again.

After Lin Rufei took a bath, she changed into fresh clothes, and Yurui and the others wiped off the sweat from Momo's face.He looked at Momo and asked curiously, "Does Momo remember her name?"

Momo looked at Lin Rufei blankly.

Lin Rufei said, "It's a three-letter name."

Momo stammered, "No, I don't remember."

Lin Rufei said: "Then who gave Momo this name?"

Momo thought for a while before seriously saying: "It's... Daddy took it..."

Lin Rufei said, "Daddy? Is your father still there?"

Momo nodded, then shook her head again, her expression was very confused, she tilted her head and said in distress, "Daddy gave Momo... so it's called... Momo."

What he said was strange, but Lin Rufei understood it. It was probably because Momo's father stuffed a piece of bun in his arms when he dropped Momo, and he named it after that. Momo is still so young. It's normal to not remember these things.

He was thinking about this, but he heard Gu Xuandu who was standing next to him sigh softly.

"Senior, what's the matter?" Lin Rufei asked.

"This child probably has something to do with the Fu family." Gu Xuandu said.

"Why did you say that suddenly?" Lin Rufei wondered.

Gu Xuandu said: "Momo was trembling when she saw those children."

Lin Rufei said: "Shaking!?" He didn't notice this, he didn't expect Gu Xuandu to be so careful.

Gu Xuandu said: "If Momo didn't know those children, she shouldn't have reacted like this."

When Lin Rufei heard this, her expression suddenly became serious. If Momo really belonged to the Fu family, then things would become more troublesome.He must have been sent out of Zhuangzi for some reason to let him fend for himself, and he brought Momo in so hastily, if the Fu family sees it, it may cause controversy...

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: I will pinch whoever you pinch

Lin Rufei: Really?

Gu Xuandu: It must be true.

Lin Rufei stretched out her hand and pinched Gu Xuandu's cheek: I told you to bully other children——

Gu Xuandu: ...
