The wind is rustling and the river is cold. When the strong men leave...

It's early morning.

The river breeze at night is particularly cold.

The lantern hanging in the corridor, with a weak light, was swaying under the cold wind and dying.

The snow in the mountains has not yet melted.

However, in the night sky, a few more snowflakes fell down.

That night, the Qin family stayed awake all night.

After Luo Qingzhou went to pay his respects to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he returned to his small courtyard with Miss Qin Er.

After the couple played a few games of chess on the couch, they washed up and went to bed.

The two hugged each other and whispered under the quilt.

They talked about the first time they met, the embarrassing things that happened between the sister-in-law and her brother-in-law, and the details of how the family worked together in Mocheng.

Of course, we also talked about Miss Qin.

Neither of them mentioned a word about tomorrow's events.

Miss Qin didn't seem to be sleepy at all tonight. She chatted until the fourth watch and was still in high spirits.

"Brother Qingzhou, do you want to take a nap?"

"No, I'm in good spirits."

Second Miss Qin pressed close to him, buried her cheek in his neck, and said softly: "Weimo believes that everything will be fine."

"Well, everything will be fine."

Luo Qingzhou stroked her silky hair, with a gentle look on his face and murmured.

The two hugged each other tightly and said nothing.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Luo Qingzhou said softly: "Weimo, you go to sleep for a while, it's time for me to get up."

The girl in his arms trembled slightly and hugged him tightly. After a moment, Fang slowly let go and said softly: "Yes."

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and kissed her forehead. He didn't miss her anymore and got up immediately.

When he got dressed and was about to leave the room, the girl on the bed sat up, with tears in her eyes, looking at him dreamily and said: "Brother Qingzhou, Weimo is waiting for you."

After a pause, he added: "Xiaodie, Qiu'er, Bailing, and sister are all waiting for you at home."

Luo Qingzhou paused for a moment, said nothing, opened the door and walked out.

Qiu'er didn't know when she had gotten up and was standing at the door waiting for him. When she saw him coming out, she immediately came over and knelt down, lowered her head, and gently helped him put on his shoes.

"Uncle, come back soon. I will serve you with Xiaodie and Pearl."

Qiu'er stood up with a gentle smile on her face.

Luo Qingzhou was startled, then reached out and touched her delicate face, and said softly: "Take good care of the second young lady."

Qiu'er nodded and said, "I will do it."

Luo Qingzhou said no more and walked out the door.

"Snapped!"

In the courtyard, the flying knife thrown by Pearl just hit the bullseye in the corner.

Luo Qingzhou walked down the corridor and stopped next to her.

Pearl glanced at him, immediately lowered her head nervously, and said in a trembling voice: "Aunt... uncle."

Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything. He took out three flying knives from her hand and threw them lightly towards the corner.

"Snapped!"

Three flying knives flew out at the same time and hit the bull's-eye in the corner at the same time. The entire hilt of the knife did not enter the bull's-eye!

"Remember to let her teach you the meaning of the sword."

After Luo Qingzhou finished speaking, he rubbed her head and left quickly.

Pearl stared at his back blankly.

"Click!"

At this moment, the target in the corner suddenly fell into pieces and fell to the ground.

And the three flying knives pierced into the wall behind. There happened to be a knife mark left on the wall. At this time, the tips of the three flying knives were all pierced in, exactly.

!

Pearl stood in the small courtyard, dumbfounded.

Luo Qingzhou went out and saw a thin figure standing under a big tree not far away, looking at him silently.

The cold wind blew by, causing the clothes to flutter slightly.

She held the sword, like a sculpture in the night, standing there, motionless.

She must have been waiting here all night.

"Silly girl."

Luo Qingzhou scolded softly, turned away, and said: "Let's go."

The girl under the tree immediately followed him.

The two of them walked one behind the other, stepping on the snow, towards the back door.

Snowflakes were falling again in the night sky.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, it snowed again.

At the same time, a figure climbed out of the courtyard wall quietly and soon arrived at the riverside.

When he was about to untie the boat on the shore, a voice suddenly came from under the big tree behind him: "Where are you going?"

Qin Chuan suddenly froze and turned around to look.

Under the big tree, a tall and majestic figure stood there with hands behind his back, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Dad...Dad...I..."

Qin Chuan stammered and couldn't speak.

Qin Wenzheng looked at him majestically for a moment, sighed and said, "Go back, your mother didn't sleep all night and was crying all the time. If you are really filial, you should go back and spend more time with her."

Qin Chuan lowered his head, slowly clenched his fists, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Dad, I want to..."

"wanna die?"

Qin Wenzheng looked at him coldly and said, "Do you want me and the Qin family to be extinct? Do you want your mother to shed tears for the rest of her life?"

Qin Chuan said with red eyes: "Child..."

"Let's go back."

Qin Wenzheng softened his tone, lowered his head slightly, and said slowly: "At this time, no one can save your eldest brother. It is very likely that your eldest brother has been killed."

As he said that, he raised his head, looked at him lovingly and said: "Chuan'er, if you go, you will only leave one more head. Your mother, your sister, and our Qin family all need you. Your talent

Yes, one can advance to the level of a great martial artist by practicing alone. Only with you in the future can our Qin family continue to live on. Your mother is stupid and always likes to do stupid things. Wei Mo is sick and needs help every month.

Take medicine, take medicine... there are also diseases. The people at home need your protection. If something happens to you, who will protect them in the future? Not to mention the people from the court, even a few mountain bandits, they can't deal with it..."

Qin Chuan cried and said: "Dad, but eldest brother... I at least have to go and bring eldest brother's body back, otherwise, I will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life..."

Qin Wenzheng walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. You go home and guard them. Daddy will just go."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Chuan suddenly trembled and looked up at him.

Qin Wenzheng looked ahead in the direction of Kyoto and said: "Dad knows a lot of people in Kyoto, and he is also a man of merit. He just went to get a corpse. He wanted a white-haired person to give a black-haired person. It should be fine.

.Even if something happens, it doesn’t matter. With you at home, daddy and eldest brother will feel relieved."

Qin Chuan made a "pop" sound, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Dad! Don't go, let the child go, let the child go..."

Qin Wenzheng stroked his head lovingly and said: "Stop crying, get up, a real man, don't cry, don't kneel, stand upright, don't cry like a girl. Look at your mother, you are all

What else can Tian do besides cry? From now on, the Qin family will rely on you, and of course, Qingzhou. You two brothers must protect the people in your family. If that doesn't work, leave Dayan and go live elsewhere. Heaven and Earth

Big, as long as your family is here, you can put down roots anywhere and make it your home.”

"Daddy..."

Qin Chuan hugged his legs, his face full of tears.

Qin Wenzheng helped him up and said: "Okay, go back and practice hard and don't slack off."

"Daddy..."

"go back!"
