Chapter 44 Returning Young Man

Jiaxing, Purple Bamboo Villa.

Zizhu Villa is built halfway up the mountain, with a long stone steps from the mountain path to the villa.

The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, and there are also messy yellow leaves on the stone steps.

Yi Hui, accompanied by his elder brother Su Mingxin and younger sister Shen Qingmei, picked up the steps.

Since the age of 12, Yi Hui has spent seven years here. Once again, when he returned to the place where he had left for more than half a year, Yi Hui was slightly touched.

"Fourth brother, how's it going? Do you miss us? Don't you want to come back after playing wild outside?

Sister Shen Qingmei was dressed in pink and purple, jumping and walking on the stone steps like a butterfly. Qingmei is only 17 years old, with a standard melon seed face, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, small cherry mouth, delicate and sweet.

Qingmei has always been fangulous, unforgiving, likes to play some pranks, and often makes Yi Hui laugh and cry.

"Of course I will miss you. Why don't I want to come back? Look, didn't I come back?"

"Hee... Don't be so serious. Even if you tell me that you just have to pay my master's birthday before coming back, I won't tell my father. Humph... He ran outside and had a lot of experience outside the south of the Yangtze River. The eldest son of the Yi family was also strong in martial arts, chivalrous and righteous, and famous. The Purple Bamboo Villa temple is small, and I'm afraid it can't accommodate the big Buddha..."

Qingmei mocked.

"Qingmei, just laugh at Yi Hui's words. If the master listens, I'm afraid Yi Hui will be punished."

Su Mingxin is two years older than Yi Hui. He is gentle, elegant, calm and thick, and he can't see his little sister bullying Yi Hui.

Yi Hui smiled faintly:

"The time here is hard, but there is not much worry. Life is stable, with no worries about food and clothing. Master and brothers are all relatives. No matter how wrong they are, no matter how many punishments they are, they will pass. We are still a family, but this is not the case in the world. The disaster of life and death, if you don't pay attention, you will be doomed..."

A pair of slender hands grabbed Yi Hui's sleeves, and Qingmei stood in front of her and smiled:

"I probably know your experience, and my sister also said something. It's over, and you don't care... She is afraid that you will feel uncomfortable, and she also writes a trust to persuade you..."

Yi Hui nodded.

"Yes, it's a coincidence. In the past, there were few relatives, and you haven't seen your sister. Why did you fall in love at first sight and get engaged so soon? In the days of your engagement, it happened that your mother was not in good health, so we didn't rush there. Later, you went to the battlefield again, and it was delayed. I also thought, what does the fourth brother look like when he is with his sister..."

Qingmei smiled lightly at the corners of her mouth, with a pair of bright eyes, looking forward to her posture.

Yi Hui also has a shallow smile:

What will it look like? What's so special..."

"Love, it's naturally different..." Qingmei raised her eyebrows: "I really want to see what the fourth brother put away this indifferent face and what the affectionate style looks like..."

Yi Hui's unnatural smile.

"You don't know Xiao Liuzi, someone who likes this..." Qingmei said bluntly and found something wrong in half of it and closed her mouth. A pair of deer looked at Su Mingxin with trembling eyes.

"What's wrong with Little Six? He has someone he likes. What happened?

Yi Hui stopped and asked doubtfully.

"Yi Hui, you have become a teacher, and the matter of the sixth brother has nothing to do with you. You don't have to ask. Master is still waiting for you to come. Let's go quickly.

Su Mingxindao.

"Big brother, I brought the sixth brother back. I swore to him at that time that I was responsible for everything that happened to the sixth brother. Even if I become a teacher, I will be a disciple of Zizhu Villa wherever I go. How can the matter of my brother have nothing to do with me..." Yi Hui stood up and insisted.

At the age of 14, Yi Hui and his eldest brother went to the foot of the mountain for the first time and met Han Er, who was hungry. At that time, Han Er was as thin as a kitten. Yi Hui is pitiful. He must take him with him and refuse to be adopted by others. Han Er was brought back to Zizhu Villa, but his physique was very weak and not suitable for martial arts practice. Shen Zixing did not accept Han Er. Yi Hui knelt in front of his master's knee and said that he would teach Han, but Han was worse than other brothers. In the first two years, no matter how hard Yi Hui was, he personally guided Han Er to practice. Han Er has a weak personality and a weak foundation, which is not an excellent seed to practice martial arts. His master punished Han Er, and Yi Hui also suffered a lot. Later, two years later, Shen Zixing separated dozens of children under the family. Su Mingxin, Yi Hui and others taught martial arts by themselves, and ordinary disciples were taught by the second disciple Wang Junning. Yi Hui and Han Er were separated, and their feelings were not as hot as before.

"I told you... I was going to hide it from you. Xiao Liuzi went to work at the foot of the mountain and fell in love with a girl from Meihua Embroidery Village. You know, Meihuaxiuzhuang is from the Cold Flower Palace. They do not allow their disciples to fall in love with each other. If they are found, they will be executed. Xiao Liuzi was on a whim and was very bold, but later, he found that he could not afford to provoke Lenghua Palace, so he told my father. My father was so angry that he was so bold that he locked him up and thought about it. He said he would close him for a year. It's on the cliff... You can't control it. My mother and I have persuaded my father for a long time, but my father won't let him go.

Qingmei explained.

"Where's the woman?"

"Who knows... Xiao Liuzi has been locked up, and Mingxin Cliff is not allowed to go up casually. In a year, it will be over."

Qingmei said, "This guy, who is not enough to make trouble for the fourth brother before. Now that he has grown up, he has a beautiful face, and he still can't change the problem of asking for trouble... Dad ordered him to bring hundreds of books to Mingxin Cliff, where pots and pans of firewood, rice, oil and salt are all available, and he is also good there to nourish his heart. ."

I can't say whether I'm angry or regretful.

Mingxin Cliff is a lonely cliff behind Zizhu Villa. There is only a difficult and dangerous road that can lead to the foot of the mountain. There is a thatched hut there, and the lively Han Er can only live by himself.

What about the Cold Flower Palace again? Lin Han's sad face still floated in front of him. Unexpectedly, Han Er, who had always been careful, also got into such trouble.

The good mood of several people reunited after a long separation also became a little sad.

"Don't be rigid, make me feel like bullying you..." Qingmei said dissatisfiedly.

"No..." Yi Hui thought away and slowed down: "I'm fine..."

Several people have walked to the villa in their words.

The door of the villa opened, and Yi Hui and several people quickly walked to the hall. The master and mother sat in the middle of the hall and gossiped, as if they were waiting for themselves.

Yi Hui gave a regular salute and sent his salute to his master and mother.

Master Shen Zixing was dressed in blue, slightly thin, his face was clear, his sword eyebrows were in his temples, and his eyes were still slightly arrogant and cold. Master Xu Xin's light purple clothes are elegant and calm, smiling at the corners of her eyes, and affectionate. Xu Xin is smaller than Xu Ci and still looks elegant and beautiful.

"Good boy, get up... The teacher looked at Huier darker than when she was in the mountain..."

Xu Xin waved her hand and pulled Yi Hui to her.

Yi Hui nodded:

"Training in the army, it may be darker in the wind and sun."

"It's better for boys to be darker..." Shen Zixing said lightly.

Looking at the beloved disciple in front of him, although Shen Zixing still looked serious, he was a little proud.

In early summer, he fought bravely and well in the army; in autumn, when he went to southern Xinjiang, he met several strong martial arts hands, and he could advance and retreat with his whole body, and he was also a little prestige in the world.

"I'll go out later, but I'll run wild... This caged bird feels good."

looked up and down at his beloved disciple and asked slowly.

"Master... Yi Hui follows his teachings and never dares to be presumptuous." Yi Hui thought about his words and dealt with it carefully.

Since I was a child, I was extremely afraid of the whip that the master would throw on his body at any time. In any person, it hurts the same with a whip on the body.

"Come on, the child will come back even less in the future. It's rare to meet him, so don't scare him..." Xu Xin said slowly, "Hui'er is honest enough to be a child. If you don't come back, you will hesitate."

Shen Zixing said no more and waved his hand:

"You just remember, it's not comparable to this mountain outside... Your mother recited the meal and let's eat together."

Yi Hui nodded.

Because of the reunion after a long separation, it is rare for the brothers to sit together, which is particularly lively.

"Actually, when you are outside, Master and his mother are also worried. When you go outside, your mother has also been in contact with Brother Xu of Mingjian Villa. In case of any need, we are also ready to help you. Su Mingxin said.

Yi Hui respectfully gave the master and mother's cloth dish:

"Disciples are not talented, which disturbs Master and Master..."

Xu Xin shook her head slightly with a loving face:

"Stupid children, disciples of Zizhu Villa, we all treat them as our own children. How can a parent think that their son is troublesome... You are an honest child, don't make trouble, and be obedient. Sometimes when I think about it, I really neglect you. A few days ago, I said that you came back and wanted to make some of your favorite food, but I just couldn't remember..."

Yi Hui was flattered.

He is used to being the silent person, getting used to watching everyone's noise in a corner, and getting used to restraining his desire, which even his grandmother taught him since he was a child. If he wants to eat, he can't remember it himself. Rarely, the master noticed it and apologized for this.

"These are all very good... Huier's mouth is not tricky, I love these very much..."

"Haha, mother, what did I say..." Qingmei coughed everything in her mouth on the table and leaned her head on her mother's shoulder: "Mom, I said he would love to eat, but you still don't believe it, and you said that I was greedy..."

Xu Xin also has a crying face.

She asked Qingmei to choose a few things that Yi Hui likes to eat. Qingmei wrote a random one, all of which were her favorite food. Xu Xin scolded her for being greedy, and Qingmei said that Yi Hui also loved to eat...

Shen Zixing also shook his head with a smile.

"Crazy girl, you still laugh... How can you make so much noise at the dinner table... Don't look like a girl at all."

Qingmei held back her smile and sat down.

"I finally know that it's really difficult for this person to have a true temperament... Like Ling Xiao, you can look at her, generous and elegant. However, she is also greedy, careful and crying..."

Xu Xin patted Qingmei's head:

"This crazy girl, what are you talking about? The brothers are still there, choreographing your sister..." He glanced at Yi Hui and said slowly, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Ling Xiao is a good girl. Don't fail her..."

Yi Hui nodded:

"Yi Hui knows. Ling Xiao is my fiancee, and I will treat her well.

"That's right..." Qingmei said.

"I'm also engaged, and my mother didn't have time to go. Tell me if there is anything you want? You haven't asked us anything since you were a child, and you have never bothered people. Although we are relieved, we also feel a little sorry. If you have any wishes, tell your master, it's a small gift for you..." Xu Xin's face was kind.

Yi Hui raised his eyes, his face turned slightly, and suddenly left the table and knelt on the ground:

"Master, mother, Yi Hui knows about the sixth brother. Would you please let me see him? The six brothers are wrong, and the master and mother have their own judgment, but after a brother, Yi Hui also rarely comes back. If he can't see him, the disciple is uneasy..."
