Country shop.
There were a few customers sitting sparsely in the store.
He was sitting at the table by the window.
There is wine on the table and wine glasses.
But he didn't even touch it.
But when he sees the pot of wine, his cold eyes will reveal a trace of warmth, reverence, hatred and other countless different emotions, and then disappear, returning to a calmness like water.
He was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, which were washed very clean.
There was a short stick stuck casually on the belt of the same color as the clothes, and he was dressed in a very ordinary outfit.
But he is anything but ordinary.
Not only is he handsome, he looks very young.
And the eyes are also very bright, very bright, brighter than anyone else. No matter who is caught by these eyes, all the dark secrets in his heart seem to be revealed.
The waiter brought over two bowls of noodles.
He had begun to eat the noodles, eating very slowly and chewing carefully, as if this bowl of noodles was the most delicious bowl of noodles he had ever eaten in his life, and as if it was the last bowl of noodles he would ever eat.
He was not sitting at the table alone, there was a little girl next to him.
So another bowl of noodles was delivered to the little girl.
The little girl is only eight or nine years old. Her skin is white and rosy, her eyes are bright and round, and her eyelashes are as thick as a fan and fluttering. She looks indescribably innocent and cute.
She was holding a rag doll in her arms, sitting on the bench, shaking her calves, humming a children's song in her mouth, her voice was crisp, cute and charming.
Looking at the Yangchun noodles that were served, the little girl pouted very high: "The baby doesn't want to eat noodles, the baby wants to eat candied haws."
The man in rough clothes frowned, but he still said patiently: "After eating the noodles, I will buy you candied haws in the afternoon."
"Uncle, don't go back on your word." The little girl stretched out her hand and looked at the man with bright eyes.
"Well, I won't regret it." As expected, the man in rough clothes stretched out his hand and pulled a hook with the little girl.
If anyone who knew this man in rough clothes saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop in shock.
Because this man was Ah Fei, the fastest and most ruthless 'Flying Swordsman' in the world in the past.
A cold-hearted man like Ah Fei could actually hook up with a little girl? !
With A Fei's promise, the little girl reluctantly started eating noodles.
After a while, a man in black walked in outside the door.
"A bowl of Yangchun noodles."
The man said hello to the waiter, then took three steps and two steps at a time and sat at the table by the window. Sharing the same table with Ah Fei and the little girl.
"A Fei, long time no see."
The man in black looked at A Fei who was eating noodles and grinned.
His smile was mysterious and warm, like a spring breeze blowing in the cold and melting the ice and snow.
Ah Fei's hand that was eating noodles suddenly paused, and then he slowly raised his head and saw this man in black with a smile on his face.
So, he also laughed.
His smile was still as charming as before.
The little girl tilted her head.
She knew that Uncle A Fei rarely smiled.
His smile is more rare than the first plum blossom that blooms in winter.
Ah Fei looked at the man in black, face to face, and after a long while he said: "You are back after all."
The man in black said: "I'm back after all."
Ah Fei said: "I know you will definitely come back."
The man in black smiled and said: "No matter what, I still want to come back to see my friends."
A Fei lowered his head, chewing on the word friend, as if he was crazy.
He had been this man's shadow.
No matter where the master is, the shadow will follow him.
Sometimes, he thought that their relationship during that time was not so much that of master and shadow, but that of a hunter and his most loyal hunting dog.
But after all, they are not hounds and hunters, nor masters and shadows.
They are friends.
The man in black looked at the wooden stick on A Fei's waist and suddenly said: "Where is your sword?"
Ah Fei said: "I no longer use the sword."
The man in black said: "Oh? Why?"
Ah Fei said: "The sword is a murderous weapon, and it kills people as soon as it is used. Killing is not interesting, and being killed is even more boring."
The man in black smiled and said: "What's more, for you, there is not much difference between a stick and a sword."
Ah Fei didn't answer, but there was a smile on his lips again.
There is absolute confidence in this smile.
The man in black turned his attention to the little girl.
The little girl was secretly looking at the man in black.
When the man in black looked at him, the little girl still looked at him blankly. A smile suddenly appeared on her young and cute face, a very bright smile, and she giggled: "Uncle, you look good. look."
"What an honest kid."
Yu Liancheng rubbed the little girl's head and looked at A Fei: "Is this your child?"
Ah Fei asked an unexpected question: "Her name is Shangguan Xian'er."
"Shangguan Xian'er, Shangguan Xian'er." After Yu Liancheng lowered his head and read the name twice, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Is she the daughter of Lin Xian'er and Shangguan Jinhong?"
A Fei nodded.
Yu Liancheng added: "If I am not wrong, Lin Xian'er has completely left. And there is only one person she trusts most in her life, and that is you, so she left the little girl to your care."
A Fei nodded again.
A Fei looked at Shangguan Xian'er with pity in his expression.
He was not afraid that Shangguan Xian'er would hear this, because Shangguan Xian'er had a brain problem and could only have the wisdom of a three-year-old at most.
Sure enough, Shangguan Xian'er was still chuckling, dumbfounded and silly.
A Fei sighed softly and suddenly looked at Yu Liancheng: "I want to ask you something."
Yuliancheng said: "About Shangguan Xian'er."
"Yes." Ah Fei said: "I have been wandering all my life, a prodigal who can't even take care of myself. So..."
"So you want to entrust her to me and let me take care of her."
"good."
Yu Liancheng sighed: "She may not need others to take care of her, and you may not need to entrust her to me."
A Fei laughed again.
Only this time it was a wry smile.
"She inherited her mother's appearance, and when she was sixteen or seventeen years old..."
"I know what you mean." Yu Liancheng suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "But she not only inherited Lin Xian'er's appearance, but also inherited her mother's vicious heart and father's decisive domineering. If you want to worry about her, why not Worried about the martial arts heroes of her generation in the future. Gee, I can already imagine a group of people being played around like dogs by her."
A Fei was shocked: "What do you mean?"
Black Jade Liancheng looked at Shangguan Xian'er with a smile: "I suddenly have the idea of accepting a disciple. This disciple should be smarter and more beautiful... Of course, the most important thing is, don't try to be smart in front of me."
Shangguan Xianer held the doll in her arms and bowed Yingying: "Shangguan Xianer has met the master."
