Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 62: Leisure
The warm autumn sun shines on the courtyard of carriages and horses. The stables and haystacks were enveloped in warmth.
The three of them, Hu and Wan, lay lazily on the haystack, squinting their eyes, like three enjoying piglets, and chirped from time to time, showing their comfort and comfort.
"It's such a boring life!" Wen Lun hummed.
"Eat and sleep every day, and eat after you sleep. How else can it be fun? Just be satisfied!" Hu Wan moved his body and muttered.
"Humph, I was asked to do all the work, and I didn't find it boring, right?" Shen Ding was dissatisfied with Wen Lun's complaints, and he said in a rough voice.
Wen Lun didn't even open his eyes. He curled up the corner of his mouth and said in a long tone: "The tendon meat on your body is used for working. This is called making the best use of it!"
"I'm a human being..." Shen Ding snorted angrily.
"People can't make the best use of their talents, so I, Wen Lun, have been wasted like this!" Wen Lun sighed with emotion, slightly opening his eyes to face the dazzling sunshine. In the haze, the golden light shines brightly in front of my eyes, as if I am in a golden and magnificent place. It makes people obsessed, lingering and moaning!
"Tsk--! Come on, you can't do anything in martial arts, but you smell sour, no, you smell like horse urine."
Hu Wan's sneer was very long, as if he was out of breath. He closed his eyes, stuck out his teeth, and raised his chest, his chest rising and falling.
Wen Lun suddenly sat up and stared. His little eyes were quite round, but he blinked tightly a few times. The sun is still dazzling.
"It is a bad fate that I, Wen Lun, have fallen to this point! If I can learn the advanced martial arts of the sect, and rely on my killing and decisive spirit, and my great wisdom to strategize and win thousands of miles away, I will be proud of the world and be admired by everyone!"
Wen Lun thought that his high voice, solemn tone, and heroic spirit should be respected. But there was no movement around him. He looked back and saw that the corners of Shen Ding's mouth were twitching. He didn't know if he was dreaming about horse sex, or he was laughing at himself. Hu Wan, on the other hand, was baring his teeth in the sky, breathing in the energy of heaven and earth, and didn't take his heroic words seriously at all.
"Okay, I thought I, Wen Lun, sang a song to the horse, and I was so angry! Didn't you, Brother Shen, hear it?" Wen Lun was furious and pushed Shen Ding. The little eyes showed a hint of expectation.
Shen Ding reacted slowly. He opened one eye sideways, stared at Wen Lun for a moment, then quickly closed it and hummed: "Brother Wen's knowledge and ability are certainly good, I admire him very much."
Wen Lun's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "What about what I just said?"
Shen Ding was not in a hurry and muttered again: "I don't understand."
Wen Lun pointed at Shen Ding and then at Hu Wan, gritted his teeth for a while, and sighed: "You are not a kind person when you meet someone——!" He fell heavily on the haystack.
"I miss my mother-in-law and children." Hu Wan ignored Wen Lun and muttered to himself.
"I have time to go home and take a look! My eldest nephew must be quite old!" Shen Ding said.
Hu Wan smacked his lips and said, "My boy will be seven years old this year. Haha! Last time I went home, he ran all over the village and his mother couldn't even control him!"
Hu Wan had a smile on his lips, looking like he was having endless aftertaste.
"It's time for you two to start a family. There is no shortage of money in the house, and you should have saved a lot of money. I can't wait inside the door, but when I go outside, I can still be looked at."
Wen Lun was still angry in his heart. He grinned and hummed: "If your ambition is not fulfilled, why do you care about your family? Hum!"
"My mother told me about my marriage a long time ago and sent a message asking me to go back and get married. Hehe! It will happen next year!" Shen Ding seemed to be more energetic and opened his eyes slightly. The stables in front of me feel so familiar and friendly. It’s a fulfilling and exciting day!
"Time makes us grow old. I think I, Wen Lun, have passed my prime years, but my family doesn't care about me!" Wen Lun's mind was spinning quickly, and he couldn't help but lament when he saw that Shen Ding was also getting married.
"Your father has many wives and concubines, and your Wen family has many heirs. If you are more than you are, there will be no more than if you are less than you!" Shen Ding thought that his guess was reasonable, but he wanted to get married before Wen Lun, so he felt like he was sorry for his friends. , a rare kindness in words.
This Shen Ding usually doesn't speak a word, but when he does speak, he can stifle you to death.
Staring at Shen Ding fiercely, Wen Lun rolled his little eyes and said with a sly smile: "Brother Shen, if you really go back to marry a wife and don't come back for three or two months, I'm afraid I won't agree!"
Shen Ding groaned and suddenly felt something was wrong. He sat up quickly and asked anxiously: "What should we do?"
Hu Wan also bared his teeth and smiled, but said nothing. Wen Lun patted his chest and said generously: "Brother, don't worry, aren't you still a brother? Work more diligently on weekdays, and then I will be a brother... And Brother Hu, I'll talk to you about it, isn't it? It’s a trivial matter!”
Shen Ding scratched his head and couldn't figure out why this butler would listen to these two people. But it’s nice to have someone to help.
But as if he remembered something, he said: "Now that Junior Brother Lin is here, the work in the stables will be much easier. I believe Deacon Pi will not be in trouble, right?"
Wen Lun didn't expect Junior Brother Lin to come, which made Shen Ding's thoughts come alive. He curled his lips and said, "Without my two brothers, you would not be able to marry and start a family..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Ding curled his lips and said, "You can pull her down. My mother told me about my daughter-in-law."
Hu Wan also suddenly thought of Lin Yi and said, "Junior brother Lin is very diligent every day! He went to walk his horse early this morning, and it's time to come back now."
The bickering between Wen Lun and Shen Ding was interrupted. After hearing what Hu Wan said, he couldn't help but look towards the courtyard gate.
…
There was a soft sound of horse hooves, but there was no sign of the horse. Shi Ran, a boy in a gray shirt who was sixteen or seventeen years old, walked in. The young man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a clear spirit and good bones. His figure is slightly thin, but he is still tall and straight, but more elegant.
Seeing the three of them, the young man raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled: "Senior brothers, you are so at ease!"
"Junior brother Lin, I just thought of you and then you arrived. Is it because I was worried about waiting for my brother, so I have a close connection with us!"
Wen Lun jumped down from the haystack and greeted him with a happy face. Hu Wan also laughed, lazily got up, and stood up with Shen Ding.
The visitor was Lin Yi, who was returning from walking his horse. Wen Lun spoke eloquently and his tone was friendly and flattering, which made him feel kind even though he was helpless.
Jiang Fangdi and three others also followed in, helped place the horses properly, and then left. Just when they left, staring at Lin Yi's cheek, the three of them shook their heads and said nothing.
The purple-red whip mark disappeared without a trace in such a short period of time. Lin Yi's martial arts skills are also incredible.
When Xu Yue left, she couldn't help but look back. Seeing Lin Yi's eyes, she couldn't help but panic, leaving behind a frightened back like an elk, which made the latter's relaxed expression stagnant.
"Junior brother, what's wrong? Have fun walking the horse. Doesn't the scenery in the valley make you want to leave?" Wen Lun said with a smile.
Lin Yihui turned around, nodded with a smile and said: "The scenery in the valley is beautiful and it is really a good place to walk horses. You and I can go there together in the future!"
Hu Wan shook his head, sat back on the haystack, and said: "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will still get tired of it after ten years of watching it. Junior brother likes it, so just go." Wen Lun and Shen Ding also nodded in agreement.
"That's true. I think I will get tired of it someday!" Lin Yi and the three of them fell down on the haystack.
"It's good to just bask in the sun like this." Shen Ding said seriously.
Lin Yi looked at the comfortable expressions on the three people's faces and said casually: "There are times when you get tired of basking in the sun!"
"Hehe, then just dream, just like Wen Lun, thinking about the day when you will succeed all day long!" Hu Wan grinned with bared teeth.
Wen Lun turned pale and shouted: "Don't just laugh at me, at least I, Wen Lun, can still dream!"
Hu Wan and Shen Ding laughed and said nothing. Lin Yi was thoughtful and said to the three of them: "There is nothing wrong with dreaming. Who doesn't like to dream? Isn't ambition just like a dream, making people obsessed and persistent?"
Wen Lun jumped up suddenly, hugged Lin Yi, his little eyes were shining brightly, and sighed: "You are the one who knows me, Junior Brother Lin! Junior Brother Lin, I am a close friend!"
Lin Yi hurriedly pushed Wen Lun away, feeling astonished in his heart. It's not like this!
"Junior brother Lin, I have no talent, no famous teachers to guide me, and I cannot learn advanced martial arts. I can only be depressed all day long, buried in this stable. I also have ambitions to reach the sky, and I also have unparalleled pride-"
"The Tianlong Sect is the Holy Land of Jianghu and the number one sect in the world. Is it possible that Senior Brother Wen is not satisfied?" Lin Yi asked.
Wen Lun waved his hands dejectedly and sighed: "The martial arts practiced by these outer disciples are not as good as those of the inner disciples. When will I be able to stand out!"
"The foreign affairs hall's martial arts are not bad, I can beat you!" Shen Ding said.
Wen Lun's face turned red and he argued, "You're not bullying me just by relying on your height and strength!"
"Junior Brother Lin is thin and has only been here for a few days. How does it compare with you?" Shen Ding tilted his head, looking like he was asking for advice.
Wen Lun's face turned pale again, and he quickly moved away from Lin Yi, spread his hands, and said aggrievedly: "Junior brother Lin is stronger than you, so how can I be his opponent!"
"I don't believe it. How can Junior Brother Lin match my strength?" Shen Ding turned around and looked at Lin Yi.
Hu Wan smiled and leaned forward. He looked at Shen Ding and said with ill intentions: "Brother Shen, forget it, you really can't compete with Junior Brother Lin."
Watching the three people bickering, Lin Yi smiled and said nothing.
Shen Ding shook his head and stared at Lin Yi with cow-like eyes. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then got up and walked towards the cart next to the haystack.
Wen Lun and Hu Wan kept laughing behind their backs. The two of them had suffered from Lin Yi, and they happened to have nothing to do at the moment, so naturally they didn't want to leave Shen Ding behind.
Wanting to see Shen Ding make a fool of himself was just for fun.
Lin Yi naturally knew what was going on here, but he didn't point it out and allowed the two of them to mess around.
Shen Ding stood in front of a single-coupled cart, spread his legs and spat into the palms of his hands. After that, he hugged the shaft of the car with both arms, his shoulders sank, his back strained, and he groaned: "Get up -"
The cart's wheels lifted off the ground.
"Okay -" Hu Wan and Wen Lun exclaimed in time, making Shen Ding look proud. After a few breaths, he put down the cart with a 'boom'. Taking a deep breath, he came to Lin Yi with a smile and said complacently: "How is it? Junior Brother Lin can take a fancy to you?"
Lin Yi tapped his palm and praised: "This big cart probably weighs only three to five hundred kilograms. Senior Brother Shen is really strong. I admire you!"
Shen Ding laughed even more proudly, but pointed back and said, "Junior brother Lin, come and try too!"
"Forget it. Isn't it enough for me to accept it?" Lin Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile. But Shen Ding shook his head, waved his big palms, and said innocently: "That's not possible. You know my strength, but I don't know your strength yet!"
Lin Yi's smile froze, and he turned to look at Wen Lun and Hu Wan, hoping that someone would come forward to smooth things over and avoid them. Unexpectedly, the two of them smiled evilly and hid aside. Only then did he realize that he had also been entangled by the two of them. This Shen Ding still looked like he was taking advantage, and he was complacent by himself.
"Senior Brother Shen, I don't want to move the cart." Lin Yi said with a grimace.
Shen Ding nodded and said in a very sympathetic tone: "The big cart next to it is lighter, so just lift that one!"
Lin Yi was not angry at all because of Shen Ding. He looked around and saw that the courtyard was full of water troughs and stone troughs. Knowing that he had fallen into the trap of Wen Lun and the others, he naturally could not move the big cart.
With a helpless look on his face, Lin Yi said to Shen Ding: "I will stand still. If Senior Brother Shen can make me move a little, then my strength is not as good as Senior Brother Shen. How?"
Hearing the method of the competition mentioned by Lin Yi, Wen Lun and Hu Wan looked at each other and naturally did not believe it.
Lin Yi's strength is amazing, but he is not to the point of bragging! How could it be? Shen Ding also has a strength of several hundred kilograms. Even if the stone pillar is standing on the spot, it can shake.
Shen Ding will not think about these things. The simpler the method of strength competition, the better. However, looking at Lin Yi's thin body, he laughed and said, "This method is good. Don't worry, Junior Brother, I won't hurt you." As he said that, he strode towards Lin Yi.
