————————
After passing through a large flat field, the master and the apprentice came to the manor house. They were faced with a tall house. ""(.) There were two young men in smart clothes standing in front of the door. When they saw a visitor coming, they wanted to ask questions. Unexpectedly, Tianfu, who was walking in front, glared and cursed: "Get away from me - —”
Tianfu's aura was extraordinary, and he clearly looked like an expert from outside the world. Under the angry scolding, the two young men did not dare to answer. However, Tianfu stood up and stood in front of the door, shouting loudly: "Sister Cui'er, your eldest brother and my master are back..." This voice used 10% of his real power, and echoed within two or three miles. Continuously.
Apart from the two young men guarding the gate, there were a few people watching the excitement in front of the house. Some people who had seen the world were surprised and asked: "Could this be the old Taoist priest...?" Some people were confused and asked: "Is this the master's aunt and the eldest brother...?" Others shook their heads and sighed: " Time is not forgiving. We haven’t seen each other for a few years. The old Taoist priest is really old. It’s hard to talk anymore..."
These are two courtyards of similar size. The door in front of you has the plaque of "Lin Mansion", and the adjacent one is the Tu family's mansion. Tianfu called the door loudly one day, while Lin Yi stood at the foot of the steps with his hands behind his back, watching everything in front of him quietly.
Xiaotian'ao is no longer what it used to be, the dilapidated mountain village has become a magnificent village... But my uncle and aunt are no longer there, Mr. Su is no more... deep in my memory, there are shocking shadows, coming and going like a mess. Some become clearer and clearer, while others gradually fade away...
"If you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles! How dare you shout in front of my Lin Mansion, Tianfu, you are such a coward..." An old woman's voice rang out in the courtyard, and then an old man walked out angrily. Here comes the white-haired woman. Before she finished speaking, she feigned anger and raised the mulberry crutch in her hand, as if to hit someone. Following him came a middle-aged man with a smile on his face.
"Haha! I have been bullied by you for decades! Today I brought my master to take revenge..." Tianfu laughed loudly and turned away from Dao'er, looking extremely proud. Hearing the sound, the woman's heart suddenly moved, and she followed it and looked out the door. In an instant, the crutch dropped and she was stunned.
At the foot of the steps, the young Taoist priest in gray robe was standing quietly with his hands behind his back. His eyes are filled with warmth and a faint smile. His proud figure and his noble demeanor. This familiar person has a familiar smile. Could this... be a dream?
"Brother...?" After losing her voice, her throat became choked. The woman stretched out her hand and pointed. Her body suddenly started to shake with a mixture of sadness and joy. But that familiar figure came to her side in an instant, grabbed her hand, and said gently: "Tui'er, big brother is back..."
A warm current flowed from the wrist veins through the whole body, and the woman's mind was refreshed, and she stood firm. Her voice trembled as she said: "This is not a dream...it's really the big brother who is back..." As she spoke, she raised her head and tried her best to see the big brother's appearance, but her eyes could not stop being blurred by tears.
She has silver hair, and her face is covered with fine wrinkles. She looks old, but her brows have the look of Tweety back then. She changed less than Tianfu, but Lin Yi recognized his girl at a glance. This octogenarian was the little girl with big twinkling eyes who held her brother's hand to collect herbs from the mountains and wanted to listen to the fairy's story...
For many years, the long-awaited figure of Cui'er has been left at the entrance of the village and on the western hilltop of Xiaotian'ao. Today, I finally came home! She smiled, letting her tears fall, holding Lin Yi's hands and saying, "I thought I would never see my brother again while I was alive. When my father was dying, he was still thinking about your house and wanted to arrange a marriage for you... …”
Lin Yi also smiled, tears welling up in his eyes and disappearing before reaching his cheeks. Someone on the side said: "Haha, it is a great joy for the family to reunite..." Someone else said: "Grandma, your old crutch!"
After the sudden change of mood, Cui'er calmed down a lot, but she held Lin Yi firmly with one hand and waved the other hand. Her expression was filled with joy and she said: "My eldest brother is here, what kind of crutches do you need? Not yet." Want to pay homage to your grandfather? ...Tianfu, I thought you were dead after not seeing you for so many years. Why don’t you come forward and pay homage to your senior sister?”
Tianfu laughed loudly, stepped forward to meet his master and said proudly, "Master, if you don't come back to the mountain, how dare I leave alone!"
At this time, the middle-aged man holding a cane in his hand, who was probably a descendant of Cui'er, also looked surprised and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying that he was meeting his grandfather. Lin Yi smiled and nodded, indicating that there was no need to be polite. But Cui'er chuckled, pulled him towards the main hall, and signaled the middle-aged man to quickly summon the people from the Lin Mansion. She didn't forget to turn around and said: "Tianfu, don't think that you dare to act arrogantly with Master protecting you, Master." I’ll teach you the same lesson! Don’t forget, your master is my elder brother!”
In front of Tianfu, Cui'er behaved like an elder, but the two of them spoke freely and knew each other very well.
The three of them came to the main hall, and Lin Yi was pulled by Cui'er to sit on a chair in the middle. She herself sat beside Tianfu and smiled quite comfortably: "Brother! This is your home! It was built by Cui'er for you..."
Sitting on the main seat, Lin Yi noticed something different when he heard what Cui'er said. He smiled slightly, waited for the next step, and looked at the place in front of him. The main hall is tall and spacious, with exquisite jade items placed on the high table behind a row of wooden chairs. The floor beneath the feet is paved with bricks, and the windows are bright and clean.
After a while, a group of people rushed into the yard. The middle-aged men in the lead walked into the house, all with solemn expressions.
In front of these people was the man with the cane. He bowed and said, "Grandson Lin Ping, with three generations and thirty-six people of my Lin family, pay homage to Grandfather!" After that, he and the three people behind him knelt down and kowtowed. There were more than thirty men, women, old and young in the yard, all kneeling down to pay homage!
Although he had some guesses in his heart, he was still surprised. Looking at the dozens of people kneeling, and then looking at Cui'er, Lin Yi, who was sitting in the main seat, still showed a puzzled look.
The kneeling younger generations all looked respectful. Cui'er smiled with relief and said, "These are all the direct descendants of my eldest brother!" Tianfu, who was standing aside, should know the reason behind this, and said, "I will help Master solve the doubts..."
It turned out that when Cui'er was fifteen years old, she was thinking about her eldest brother, so she went to Xuanyuan Temple alone and met the father and son. Tianfu was young and full of vigor. He ignored the sudden appearance of the master aunt and instead ridiculed her. This caused trouble!
Both of them were strong-willed and started fighting when they disagreed. Cui'er's martial arts were taught by Lin Yi, and she was one or two years older than Tianfu. Compared with the two, the former was naturally superior. After the fight, she beat the other party severely until her identity as the master aunt was confirmed. From then on, Xiaotianao and Xuanyuan Temple had exchanges.
After Yuanfeng and others came to Xuanyuan Temple, they treated Cui'er with courtesy when they saw her. In the past three to five years, she has made several heroic deeds of eliminating violence and protecting the good, and acting chivalrously. With the help of Taiping Escort Agency and Tianlong Sect, and the praise of many people in the world, Lin Cui'er, a female master, has become famous. The Lin family in Xiaotianao has risen with the tide and become a famous place, and has also attracted many people to learn from her.
Among the group of people who came to learn from the master, there was a young man named Tu. He had a wealthy family, but he loved martial arts since he was young. When he came to Xiaotian'ao, he didn't learn martial arts, but he fell in love with the chivalrous woman, and begged his family to bring generous gifts to propose marriage. Cui'er's parents thought of her handsome appearance and her straightforward and kind character, so they agreed to the marriage. But Lin Cui'er was reluctant to let her parents marry far away, so the Tu family spent a lot of money to settle down a home for the newlyweds in Xiaotian'ao.
Lin Cui'er gave birth to three sons and two daughters for the Tu family. At her insistence, the second son was adopted by the eldest brother Lin Yi as a son, and changed his surname to Lin, and entered the Lin family ancestral hall to pass on the Lin family incense.
Decades later, Lin Cui'er's husband passed away, and her second son also died of illness. She stayed in the Lin Mansion to take care of the descendants of this line for her eldest brother...
