This is such a quiet and simple rural scenery. There are lush branches and trees sandwiched between two roads. It is late spring, the gentle breeze blows, and the fragrance of locust flowers fills the heart and spleen, which is very pleasant. The sweet sounds of birds singing and chirping float into the ears, making people feel relaxed and happy.

On this winding path, a carriage drove slowly. The car was covered with a tarpaulin, and it was obvious that there were family members inside.

In addition to the driver, sitting in the front of the car was a handsome and handsome young man in white.

The young man was enjoying the beautiful scenery of this simple countryside with great interest while chatting with the coachman with great interest.

After a while, the car stopped. The young man got out of the car and said to the middle of the car: "Mom, we're here." While raising the car curtain.

An old woman about sixty years old, with half-white hair but energetic, slowly got out of the car.

The young man gave the driver some silver, and the driver turned around and left. The young man helped the old woman into a courtyard.

These are several thatched huts with earthen walls and earthen ridges, and pots and pans in the courtyard, but they are neatly furnished. A few young boys were playing tops in the yard, while the hostess was standing next to the chicken fence, clucking and feeding the chickens.

The young man helped his mother into the yard.

The hostess heard the sound and turned around. When she saw the two people who came in, they were dressed in luxurious clothes and had extraordinary appearances. She couldn't help but be startled: "Who are you looking for?"

The young man smiled slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, is this Ying Chuanlin's brother Ying's house?"

The hostess said: "Yes, may I ask you..."

At this time, footsteps sounded in the room, and a tall and sturdy man came out and asked, "What's wrong?"

The young man raised his head, looked at the big man and shouted: "Senior brother——"

The big man was stunned for a moment. He stared at the young man for a long time, and then said after a while: "Are you...Junior Brother Ling?..."

It turns out that this young man is Ling Yun. He looked at the big man and said excitedly: "It's me, senior brother, I've finally found you!"

"Ah! Junior Brother Ling!" The big man was surprised and happy. He grabbed Ling Yun's hand and shouted excitedly: "Junior Brother, is it really you? Am I not dreaming?"

The two were excited to meet again after a long absence. After being intimate for a long time, the big man said: "Junior brother, you just arrived. You didn't even say hello to me beforehand. It really caught me off guard."

Ling Yun smiled and said, "I just want to give senior brother a surprise!"

"Look at you, you still haven't changed your temper. When I was in Tianshan, I received many reprimands from my master for this. Why don't you have a long memory?" The big man scolded.

Ling Yun just laughed. The big man looked back at the old woman and said, "Excuse me, is this——"

"This is my mother." Ling Yun said to Mrs. Ruan again: "Mom, this is my best senior brother Ying Chuanlin who I often mention to you."

Ying Chuanlin and Mrs. Ruan met.

Ying Chuanlin said to Ling Yun again: "Here, let me also introduce you. This is your sister-in-law, Mrs. Yu."

He also called some children playing next to him and introduced them one by one: "These are your three nephews, Da Mao, Er Mao and Xiao Mao. This is your niece Ziyan. Come on, I have seen your grandma. More than your master uncle."

Zi Yan was timid and silent, while Er Mao and San Mao went straight to Ling Yun and winked. Only Da Mao called out politely: "Uncle Master."

Ying Chuanlin asked his wife to prepare meals; he also asked Mrs. Ruan to rest in the room.

Mrs. Yu was having a great time directing her four children to go about their business.

Ling Yun said: "Looking at your family full of children and grandchildren, enjoying family happiness, senior brother, I am really jealous of you."

Ying Chuanlin said: "Why, haven't my younger siblings given birth to a son for my junior brother?"

Ling Yun smiled and shook his head: "What younger siblings? Your junior brother is still alone!"

"What? Junior brother, are you still free now? Look at your senior brother, you have already been a father four times!"

Ling Yun smiled and said nothing.

Ying Chuanlin said: "Junior brother, I'm not talking about you, but don't set your sights too high!

"By the way, there is a girl in our Yujiaji. Her surname is Mo and her name is Shui Ling. She is a famous beauty. She is knowledgeable and courteous, and she is also smart and virtuous. Junior brother, if you are interested, senior brother will come to negotiate for you. How about a moment?"

Ling Yun smiled and shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Ying Chuanlin smiled and said, "What's wrong? How old are you? If I remember correctly, you are already twenty-three this year. Why aren't you thinking about your life-long events?"

Ling Yun smiled and said: "Senior brother, let's not talk about this for now, okay?"

Ying Chuanlin said: "What's wrong?"

Ling Yun smiled and said, "Nothing, I just don't want to get married too early."

Ying Chuanlin knocked his head with his hand and said, "Don't I know your kid's evil thoughts? You think you are old, but you still can't change your playful and unrestrained temperament since childhood?

"Are you afraid that after you get married, you will drag men and women around and worry about your wife and children all the time, so you can't do your thing freely and uninhibitedly?"

Ling Yun smiled and said, "Senior brother still understands me!"

"You!..." Ying Chuanlin said: "By the way, why did junior brother suddenly think of coming all the way here to see me?"

Ling Yun smiled and said: "What, senior brother, have you forgotten our ten-year agreement when we were studying in Tianshan?"

Ying Chuanlin was startled for a moment, then he patted his forehead and said, "Hey, look at my memory! Why did I forget such an important thing? I deserve to be punished! I deserve to be punished!"

Ling Yun laughed and said: "Senior brother, now that he has children and grandchildren, and enjoys a family life, of course he is too happy to miss Shu. I am afraid he has long forgotten my junior brother, right?"

Ying Chuanlin said in embarrassment: "What the hell, junior brother made fun of me!"

It turns out that this happened ten years ago. At that time, Ying Chuanlin was sixteen years old and Ling Yun was thirteen years old. Ying Chuanlin Yicheng came down the mountain and said goodbye to Ling Yun who was still studying in Tianshan Mountain.

The brothers had a deep relationship and parted with each other. At that time, Ying Chuanlin made a ten-year agreement with Ling Yun. After ten years, they agreed that no matter where they were, they would find ways to meet each other to express their feelings and say goodbye to each other. Feelings.

Now ten years have passed, and Ling Yun has traveled hundreds of miles from the capital to fulfill his promise, but Ying Chuanlin has forgotten about it. No wonder he was scolded by Ling Yun.

At this time, Mrs. Yu had prepared food and wine. The two started drinking happily. Ying Chuanlin said: "Junior brother, please don't laugh at the simple tea and rice, the farmer's wax wine."

Ling Yun said: "Brother, why did you say this? Remember when we practiced literature and martial arts together, didn't we eat like this? I think about how carefree you and I were at that time. Even though practicing martial arts was hard and tiring, now that I think about it It’s also very fascinating.”

At this time, Ms. Yu came over and said, "You two, don't just talk. Look, the food is getting cold."

Ling Yun smiled and said: "Yes, let's talk less and just talk about the present. We haven't seen each other for many years, and it's been a long time since we can learn martial arts together as before. Senior brother, today is a rare and good opportunity. How about we do it again? Let's talk about wine and sword, and compete with each other?"

Ying Chuanlin said: "Well, I don't think it's necessary! My martial arts has been neglected for many years, and I think I won't be as good as you."

Ling Yun said: "Senior brother, you are humble again."

Ying Chuanlin added: "But junior brother, you have been quite prosperous in these years. Your martial arts skills are unparalleled and you are famous all over the world. I am talking about your famous Commander Ling, right? Now junior brother has achieved both fame and fortune. How do you feel?"

Ling Yun said: "Senior brother, why are you trying to ridicule me? Others don't know my ability as a three-legged cat. Senior brother, don't you know it? If compared to senior brother, I have no choice but to be inferior."

"Actually, with Senior Brother's talents, if he can put in a little effort in front of Mr. Lu, he will definitely be a hundred times better than me. When I have the opportunity to recommend him to Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu has a keen eye for people, and Senior Brother will definitely be reused—— I wonder what senior brother thinks?"

Ying Chuanlin said vaguely: "I have no intention of becoming an official. Let's talk about this... later."

At this time, Mrs. Yu came up and said, "The rice is ready!"

Ying Chuanlin said: "I haven't had enough wine yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Ling Yun said: "We've almost finished the wine. Let's invite our nephews to eat together!"

With a greeting, four children had already swarmed up. At first, he was timid and embarrassed, but it didn't take long for him to show his true colors, wolfing down the food like a wolf, wanting to swallow all the food in his belly. Ying Chuanlin said angrily: "These little things, they really have no rules!"

Ling Yun just smiled.

At this time, Mrs. Ruan had been helped out by Mrs. Yu. Seeing this scene, she suddenly lost her appetite. She barely ate a few mouthfuls and then returned to her room.

In the evening, before Mrs. Ruan went to bed, Ling Yun came in to say hello. Mrs. Ruan asked, "Zhichao, when are we leaving?"

Ling Yun said: "Let's go in two days! Tomorrow I have an appointment with my senior brother to go for a walk in the mountains and forests. What's the matter, mother?"

Mrs. Ruan said silently: "Nothing."

The next day, Ling Yun happily followed Ying Chuanlin to see the mountains and forests.

Clouds and mist envelope the peaks, gurgling slowly flows out of the mountains, the roads are filled with fragrance of flowers, and thousands of trees are densely clustered. Forest birds chirped and sang, and butterflies flew from time to time. What a beautiful mountain scenery.

The two of them were talking and moving forward. At this time, a country girl came towards me on the mountain road.

Although the girl was dressed as a village girl, her simple clothes could not hide her natural beauty. Seventeen or eighteen years old, the age of dreams. She is graceful and graceful, with a pink face with melon seeds and a pair of black and white almond eyes twinkling under the curved willow eyebrows, which is particularly moving.

She is indeed an impeccable beauty. Among the women Ling Yun had seen, Lu Qiuyue was probably the most beautiful. It's just that he hates her arrogance and willfulness and has always avoided her.

But the girl I saw today was pure, beautiful, and extremely pleasant, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

The girl was also sizing up Ling Yun. She couldn't help but be shocked when she saw that the other party was dressed in white, tall, with a handsome face, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, like a jade tree facing the wind.

Perhaps it was because she lived in the mountains and had not seen much of the world, but she had never seen such a handsome and majestic handsome man. The other party's elegant temperament and refined appearance captured her for a moment.

The two just looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

Finally, Ying Chuanlin broke the awkward situation, "Ah, isn't this a girl from the Mo family? Where are you going?"

The girl calmed down and said, "Oh, my father found a Ganoderma lucidum on the cliff, and he asked me to come back and get the rope."

Ying Chuanlin said: "Is your mother's condition getting better?"

The girl said: "It's much better. If this Ganoderma can be used as medicine again, it will be great. Brother Ying, I..." She bit her lips and stopped talking.

Ying Chuanlin said: "I think your father is already waiting impatiently, so we won't delay you anymore, go quickly!"

The girl looked at him silently, and finally left without saying anything, carrying the basket.

Ling Yun said: "I heard that Ganoderma lucidum mostly grows on cliffs. It is not easy for an ordinary person to get it. Senior brother, from the tone of the girl just now, it seems that she wants to ask for your help! "

Ying Chuanlin said: "With her father here, does she still need me? Aren't we going to go sightseeing today? Look, it's getting late. Let's go!"

The two of them continued walking forward. Ying Chuanlin saw that Ling Yun had been silent, so he called him. Ling Yun was startled for a moment, then regained consciousness.

Ying Chuanlin smiled and said: "Looking at your distracted look, could it be that you have fallen in love with someone else?"

Ling Yun's face turned slightly red and he said, "Senior brother, you are talking nonsense again. Isn't it okay for me to ask?"

Ying Chuanlin said: "Of course. Let me tell you, she is the girl named Mo that I told you."

Ling Yun snorted and said, "No wonder, this woman is truly extraordinary and extraordinary."

Ying Chuanlin said: "It's a pity that there is a fly in the ointment. The conditions for her marriage are not satisfactory."

"What conditions?"

"If she gets married, she must bring her parents with her."

"Why?"

"She has no brothers, only one sister Qiuling, but she married into a family in Zhongmu County; her mother is frail and sick, her father is also suffering from hardships, and her family is poor. She really can't bear to leave her elderly parents and fly away, so she Make this condition."

Ling Yun couldn't help but praise: "What a filial daughter."

"What can a filial daughter do? In a remote mountainous area like ours, it is difficult to support the family. Who wants to add such a burden? It is precisely because of this that she has not married.

"Oh, by the way, junior brother, if you are interested, how about I be a matchmaker and help you find a match? I think you two are a perfect match, a man and a woman. If we can get married for a hundred years, wouldn't it be a story for the ages?"

Ling Yun said: "Senior brother, you are going astray again. Didn't you say you wanted to accompany me to see the waterfall?"

Ying Chuanlin smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."

The two of them were walking forward in high spirits, when suddenly they saw a figure flash in front of them, and Mo Shuiling panted and staggered towards them.

As soon as she saw the two of them, she no longer cared about her original reserve and shyness, and shouted as if she were a savior: "Quick, hurry up and save my dad..." After saying that, she fell to the ground with a thump and cried loudly. got up.

Ying Chuanlin asked hurriedly: "Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what's wrong?"

Mo Shuiling said intermittently: "My father, when he was picking that Ganoderma lucidum, he accidentally slipped and fell down, and was... hung up by a branch... Brother Ying, please go and save him quickly. !..."

"where?"

"Over there!..." Mo Shuiling pointed with a trembling hand.

Without saying a word, Ling Yun and Ying Chuanlin rushed straight to where Mo Shuiling pointed.

Mo Shuiling's father grabbed an elm tree branch on the steep cliff with both hands and leaned on the cliff desperately. The branch was about the thickness of a thumb, and it was bent down by the weight of a man weighing more than 100 kilograms. Its bearing capacity had almost reached its limit; and Old Man Mo was exhausted and in danger at this time.

A tragedy could happen at any time. Old Man Mo was almost desperate. Only his survival instinct was still struggling to support his will, making him unwilling to let go of the life-saving branch he was holding.

Ying Chuanlin hesitated in front of the cliff. Old Man Mo is about four or five feet away from the top of the cliff. The cliff is unfathomable, and the cliff wall is so steep. His martial arts has been neglected for many years. Could it be...

Seeing that his senior brother was hesitant, Ling Yun said, "I'll do it!" He turned back to find the rope.

At this time, Mo Shuiling ran up staggeringly.

Ying Chuanlin asked: "Where is the rope?"

Mo Shuiling said in a trembling voice: "I fell to the bottom of the cliff with Ganoderma..."

Ying Chuanlin spread his hands and said, "What, what can we do?"

Ling Yun said: "You can also use a sword." As soon as he said this, he remembered that he came for a sightseeing trip and did not bring a sword.

Mo Shuiling said: "There is a shovel here for digging herbs, is that okay?"

Ling Yun saw the rusty shovel, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's okay!" He reached out and took it.

Ying Chuanlin said worriedly: "Junior brother, it's very dangerous."

Ling Yun smiled and said: "Brother, take a look."

He walked towards the edge of the cliff, looked down, leaned over and thrust the shovel into the cliff. The force was so strong that the handle of the shovel was gone. Holding the handle of the shovel with his right hand, he floated and climbed down.

Mo Shuiling's face turned pale, her eyes followed Ling Yun's every move closely, and she was almost suffocated with nervousness.

She just met the other person by chance, but he acted bravely and risked his life to save her father. She felt very excited and uneasy. She thought about stopping him, but seeing that her father's life was hanging by a thread, she felt at a loss for a moment.

To know whether Ling Yun can rescue Old Man Mo from the cliff safely, let’s listen to the explanation below.
