C8 Wuyi

Located at the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi, there is a beautiful scenery, picturesque mountains. This was Wu Yi Mountain.

About thirty miles away from the foot of the mountain, there was a small town. It was called Nanping Town.

The town wasn't big, but it was lively. This place was surrounded by mountains, and the mountains were clean and beautiful. The land was fertile, and the people were well-dressed.

The weather in the interior had begun to turn cold in October. However, it was still very hot on the Fujian coast. Coupled with the strong wind, the air was humid all day long.

At noon. The blazing sun was like fire. The people of the town would not go out now. It was a lively scene, where men, women, and children gathered at teahouses, drinking tea and listening to books, or guessing and drinking wine at their three or five good friends restaurants. Life was carefree and unfettered.

"Ta ta ta ta …"

The sound of horses galloping could be heard through the bamboo forest at the intersection to the south of the town. A carriage was approaching the town.

The carriage passed through the center of the town without stopping until it reached the north side. Then, it entered an alley from the left. They arrived in front of a large manor.

The courtyard was extremely large. Two guards with sabers were standing outside the door.

On the door, there was a large signboard with the words "Zhen Yuan Escort Office" written on it. The words were especially eye-catching.

"Phew …"

The coachman stopped the carriage. The person was in his fifties. He was dressed in black, had a crown on his head, and had a long beard that fluttered in the wind. It was indeed Lin Xuanzi.

Lin Xuanzi got off the carriage, walked up to the shed and lifted the curtain.

"Nan Nan …" "Come, we're here …"

Then, a boy around nine or ten years old walked out.

"..." Where is this? "Grandpa …"

the boy asked, head tilted back as he rubbed his eyes.

"Haha …" "En, let's go in. You'll know soon enough …" Then he took the child by the hand and led him to the door.

Arriving at the door, he cupped his fists towards the two guards. "May I trouble the two brothers to report to Chief Escort Yang that an old friend has come to visit."

"Excuse me …" What was his name? How do you recognize my escort? " One of the guards on the right also clasped his hands in greeting and asked politely.

"Hahahaha …" Lin Xuanzi stroked his long beard. "Mm. My surname is Lin. Just say that my childhood friend came to visit, and your escort will know …"

"Mm …" The guard hesitated. "Very well, please wait a moment, sir, while the little one goes to report." Then he turned and entered the door.

With one hand on his waist, Lin Xuanzi stroked his beard and looked up at the courtyard. His eyes were brimming with joy as he muttered to himself, "Ai, I didn't want to part after ten years. What a big change …" "It's really big …" His words were filled with the vicissitudes of life and emotion.

The sound of chaotic footsteps came from inside the door. Lin Xuanzi immediately looked into the door and stepped onto the stairs. He cupped his fists and laughed loudly, "Oh, how are you, Yang Dazhang!"

A middle-aged man walked out from the door. Thirty-four or so. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, the sky was filled with vigor, and there was a spirit in each of his eyes. He was giving off an imposing aura. He stood there without a hint of anger. It was the "Zhen Yuan Escort Office", Yang Zhentian.

Yang Chentian was at a loss when he saw a green robed elder greeting him. He stretched out his right hand and touched his forehead with his left hand, seemingly thinking about something.

The old man was slightly startled, but then he suddenly acted like a child, clapping his hands and laughing at the same time, while singing a little song that others would find hard to understand. "Tsai Hua, headless, lice growing, lice dropping, crawling all over …"

"You … "You are..."

Hearing this song, Yang Chentian's eyes lit up as his hands trembled and pointed at the old man in the green robe. He was so excited that he could not speak. He took a step forward and tightly grabbed the old man's hands.

"You are... Are you a knife? "Are you a knife?" He swallowed, tears in his eyes.

"Hahahaha …" Fortunately, you still remember the knife... Rod... "Haha …" Lin Xuanzi was also overjoyed. Xiang Nan, who was on the side, looked at the two of them in a daze.

Yang Chentian sized up Lin Xuanzi's entire body, and suddenly stared at him for a long time. He seemed to remember something.

"Eh? That's not right! " Yang Chentian scratched the back of his head, "Logically speaking, if you are a knife …" En, I should be about the same age as him … "I'm not this old as you …"

Lin Xuanzi was slightly startled, but he immediately laughed out loud. He stroked his long beard and moved his face closer to Yang Zhentian, using his index finger to point at his ear. "Come, look here, look here, look carefully …"

Yang Chentian seemed to be a little curious, as he went over to take a closer look. After looking for a while, he then looked at the elder's eyes and laughed out loud. "It's really, really, I almost couldn't recognize it …" The two hugged each other tightly, slapping and hitting each other.

"Who is this child?" Only now did Yang Chentian notice that there was also a child.

"Nannan, come, call Uncle Yang …" Lin Xuanzi pulled Little Xiang Nan over, "Haha, look at how excited I am. I forgot about him …"

"Uncle Yang!" Little Xiang Nan called out sweetly.

"Aiyo, this guy is so obedient …" It's yours … " Yang Chentian squatted down to touch the little guy's head, he was clearly unwilling to let go.

Lin Xuanzi whispered into Yang Chentian's ear, "It's elder brother's orphan."

"Ah …" Yang Chentian stood up, his eyes shining, "Okay! "Great!" He was extremely excited.

Finally, Yang Chentian suddenly slapped his own forehead, "Ai, look, look at what we're doing … …" Come in! "Come in!"

"Haha, even I was so excited …"

After that, he grabbed Little Xiang Nan with one hand and pushed Lin Xuanzi with the other as they walked towards the door. Tonight, the two brothers would have to talk for ten years! To be able to reunite today was a joyous occasion for the escort company. "Haha …"

"Sigh …" The prince sighed. "Yinzi …" The moment they entered the courtyard, they heard Yang Chentian shouting loudly towards the house.

"Sigh …" As the house answered, a woman in her thirties came out. She was also extremely charming, and it was obvious that she was a virtuous person.

"Hahahaha, look, look, who's here? "Who's here?" Seeing his wife coming out, Yang Chentian pointed at Lin Xuanzi and shouted to her.

He saw Ying Zi staring at Lin Xuanzi, and for a long time, he couldn't remember who it was.

"It's brother Dao!" "Knife Bro, don't you remember?!"

"Ah?" "Is it brother Dao?!" When Yinzi heard her husband say that it was Knife Bro, she was also very excited. However, she was also a bit puzzled.

"Hahahaha …" "Let's talk inside first. We'll talk inside." Yang Chentian also reacted in an instant, and laughed out loud.

He saw Lin Xuanzi bow towards Yinzi. "Sister-in-law, sorry to interrupt!"

"Of course not!" Yang Chentian pulled Lin Xuanzi into the living room.

"Yinzi, hurry up and prepare some food and wine. I have to wash up for second brother today." Before they even sat down, Yang Chentian ordered his wife to prepare dinner.

"Alright." He saw Yinzi turn around and leave.

So it turned out that Yang Chentian and Lin Xuanzi were playmates who grew up together. Lin Xuanzi had just grown up. They were like brothers. When they were young and practicing martial arts together, Yang Chentian liked sticks, while Lin Xuanzi liked swords and sabers. Since childhood, the two of them had called each other by a nickname, a knife and a stick, they were calling each other 'Big' till the end of time. The song at the entrance just now was made up by the brothers for a lazy guy called Cai Hua Tou who lived in the village at that time. After growing up, when he was twenty years old, Lin Xuanzi lived with his brother at Green Edge Castle, and Yang Zhentian set up this escort office. When he had nothing to do, Yang Chentian would go to Green Edge Castle to play with the Lin brothers.

However, no one would have thought that the heavens would have such an ominous situation. Ten years ago, a sudden disaster had caused Green Edge Castle to be reduced to ruins. Ten days before the tragedy happened, Yang Chentian had just gone to Yunnan with a dart. When he returned, he heard about the blood case and rushed to Green Edge Castle. However, he saw that it was full of wounds. Other than the blackened stone wall and ruins, the only other thing was the black blood stains that almost dyed the entire mountain. At that time, Yang Chentian felt as if his liver and guts were splitting apart as he cried silently. He searched everywhere to find any survivors, yet he didn't even find a single corpse for half a month. In the end, he could only return in despair. Afterwards, he set up a tablet for the Lin Clan brothers and wives at the top of the mountain, and would pay respects to them every day.

Never would he have thought that ten years later, a brother who was thought to be dead would suddenly appear in front of him. It was truly like a dream. Yang Chentian was overjoyed. If not for the fact that he had just seen Lin Xuanzi's ears, he would not have believed that he was his brother. It turned out that Lin Xuanzi's right ear had a scar of about three inches under it. It was a memento from when Yang Zhentian was practicing martial arts. Furthermore, he had noticed that Lin Xuanzi's beard was obviously fake just now. He said that there must be a reason behind his actions, so he did not point it out. In any case, he was certain that it was his brother.

It had been ten years since the two brothers had met by accident, so they didn't finish their conversation. The only reason they stopped was because the two of them drank from the afternoon until the roosters began to crow. When they reached the point where they were having fun, the two laughed heartily. Even when they encountered a sad part, they unexpectedly couldn't hide the fact that they were crying.

The righteous path is, the human world has its true meaning, a thousand glasses of wine with few emotions.
