I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]

Yun Wuxin told his junior fellow apprentice about his past.

"My brother Mo Yu and I both lost our parents. We lived together in a mountain village called Daoxiang Village. But one day, the Twelve Linked Docks attacked the village. All the adults died, and we fled there."

"Twelve Linked Docks!?"

"That's not the one we knew."

"Oh." Yun Chuxiu put his hand on the quilt. Yun Wuxin patted him gently, and felt that his eyes were shining when he looked at her, as if he regarded his story as a bedtime story, which made her laugh.

"But you still remember the Kongming Jue, right? It's the secret book that Master found on me when he picked me up."

"I remember, you showed it to me." Yun Chuxiu replied. However, because their master was very knowledgeable and had a lot of secret manuals at home, and he was a lazy person, he was not very enthusiastic about practicing Ningxue Gong and had never learned any of the martial arts.

"I found it in a grave when my brother Mo Yu and I were playing in the village. Later, I realized that everything started from it. We left the village and wandered around. It was only because of my brother Mo Yu's care that I didn't starve to death. But later, someone discovered the existence of the Kongming Jue and tried to hunt us down—"

Yun Chuxiu said that he had just seen a bloody murder caused by Liancheng Jue, and now there was the Kongming Jue. The turmoil in the martial arts world was indeed the same every ten years. Then he heard Yun Wuxin calmly say: "We were forced to the cliff, with a dead end in front and behind. In order to ensure that Brother Mo Yu could survive, I said that the Kongming Jue was with me, and then jumped off the cliff."

"Ah! So that's how it is!" Yun Chuxiu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that his senior brother was picked up on the cliff. "No, we are not in the same world... It must be because there are peach blossoms on the cliff!"

They had all passed through the illusory peach blossom forest now, so there was no need to explain it further, as everyone understood it tacitly. Therefore, Yun Wuxin couldn't help but smile: "Haha, Master said that when he found me, I was hanging on a tree, so I wasn't seriously injured. Now that I think about it, maybe it's because I passed through the peach blossom forest and came to our world at that time... If it hadn't happened, maybe I would have died at the foot of that cliff at that time."

"Brother Yu said... later he found my shoes at the foot of the mountain, but didn't see my body, so he didn't believe I was dead. Over the years, he has been looking for me everywhere. Oh, and by the way, I also have to thank his master, Valley Master Wang, for always supporting him and not treating him as a lunatic. That's why we can meet again today..."

"This must be God's favor to you!" Yun Chuxiu said firmly. "However, those people who were chasing you on the cliff didn't kill him? Is that world so righteous?"

In his heart, he actually felt that his senior brother's action of jumping off the cliff was useless. Even if he did so, he could not save Mo Yu at all. The fact that these two people could survive together was really blessed by God! However, because the other party was his senior brother, of course he could not say it out loud. Yun Wuxin seemed to see through his inner thoughts at a glance, rubbing his face and said: "Are you scolding me in your heart?"

"I didn't!" Yun Chuxiu would not admit it, no matter how much his senior brother rubbed his face, he would not let go. Yun Wuxin laughed and joked with his junior brother, and then told him frankly: "Those who chased us back then were later killed by Brother Yu. I asked you before about the solution to the Fire Poison Curse and the Yin-Yang Compound Poison because Brother Mo Yu has poisonous blood in his body. Sometimes he would suddenly fall into madness, lose his mind, and kill people violently. It was all suppressed by the Red Dust Heart Method on his body. If the poison can be detoxified, I can feel more at ease."

"I see. Tomorrow morning, I'll take his pulse and have him give me some blood to see if I can use medicine to detoxify him." He hadn't taken this matter very seriously before, but now that they were a family, Yun Chuxiu couldn't help but become serious. "But from what you said, the toxin should have completely merged with his blood. I'm afraid that a blood transfusion will be necessary to eradicate the problem."

"Ah, Xiaoyue said the same thing. She is a friend of me and Brother Yu, and she is also a doctor. Now she is trying to help me cure my heart disease." Yun Wuxin casually said something that struck me as a bolt from the blue. "I think, if they can cure the heart, then bones may be able to be cured too. This time when I go back, I want to take Master with me to that world and let Xiaoyue and her elders take a look. If that doesn't work, I can also ask the King of Medicine Sun Simiao to help. It will always be of some help."

"...What did you say? Medicine King Sun Simiao?" Yun Chuxiu opened his mouth wide, grabbed his brother's arm, and asked repeatedly: "Is it true? Is he a living Medicine King?"

"Do you think that Senior Brother is such a deceitful person?" Yun Wuxin joked. "Do you want to come with me? It's one thing to see my hometown, but I know nothing about medicine. I can only feel at ease if you are with me."

"I'm going! I'm going!" Yun Chuxiu agreed immediately, and was extremely happy. He assured his fellow senior brother proudly: "Whether it's Master or Sister-in-law, I'll take care of it! Don't worry."

"Now you call your sister-in-law, why didn't you call her when she was here just now?" Yun Wuxin said unhappily. Yun Chuxiu stuck out his tongue and said coquettishly to his senior brother: "It's because your sister-in-law is fierce and I'm afraid of her..."

After laughing for a while, Yun Wuxin coughed twice and regained his composure, saying, "Okay, I've finished talking about my story. Now it's time to talk about your story. Who is Yuan Suiyun? How did you two meet?"

Of course, others didn't know what the brothers talked about at night, but the next morning, Yun Wuxin got up and practiced sword, then returned to the room, lifted his brother who was sleeping like a pig from the quilt, and woke him up with force. Then he changed his clothes and had breakfast with the others. Before eating, he solemnly toasted a glass of wine to Jellyfish Yin Ji and Yuan Suiyun to thank them for taking care of him during these days.

Then, he asked his junior brother with concern: "You haven't been back for so long, and I can't give you the pocket money I prepared for you. Do you have any money on you?"

Yun Chuxiu didn't think much about it and subconsciously touched his wallet: "Yes, I haven't spent much money recently - oh, by the way, my night pearl is gone."

As long as he was with Yuan Suiyun, Young Master Yuan would take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, so he naturally didn't have to pay. The place where he lost the most money was actually on the snowy mountain - when an avalanche occurred, the snow swept away his purse along with it. After saying that, he opened the only purse left on his body and showed it to Yun Wuxin - it contained more than 20 South China Sea pearls the size of longan, each of which was round and shiny, and of such high quality that it could not be bought with money. The value of this purse alone was incalculable.

After Yun Wuxin looked at it, he took out two purses from his bosom and gave them to him. He also took out a wooden box and placed it in front of him, asking him to keep it. "That's all I have. If I use it up, you can figure it out yourself."

Yun Chuxiu accepted everything without caring what was in the purse - he knew his senior brother's habits very well, and knew that one package contained gold beans and the other contained change, which would be convenient for him to use to buy snacks on the street. Anyway, expensive things could be exchanged for pearls - then he opened the wooden box with a smile, revealing a night-shining pearl the size of a pigeon egg, and happily showed it to Jellyfish Yin Ji.

Jellyfish Yin Ji was different from ordinary women. She didn't like these jewels. Even this rare night-shining pearl was no different from a roadside stone in her eyes. She just felt strange: "You have those pearls, why do you still need to carry this with you?"

"This isn't used as money." Yun Chuxiu answered as a matter of course. "This is used for lighting at night."

Yuan Suiyun smiled reservedly, but secretly complained in his heart: No wonder Yun Chuxiu is so delicate and elegant, he looks more like a young man from a wealthy family than a man of the world, and has no interest in martial arts or treasures. Judging from this doting attitude, it is better to say that he and his master and senior brother are actually a family rather than saying that they are from the same school.

He wanted to kidnap someone else's junior fellow apprentice, so naturally he wanted to have a good relationship with Yun Wuxin. However, before he could make any move, his lover who could never stop causing trouble started to make trouble again - he wanted to go with his senior fellow apprentice to send the master to seek medical treatment.

Yun Chuxiu also knew his temper. He always liked to keep everything under control. Moreover, the incident on Xueshan had just happened and he had a criminal record. He quickly kissed him twice and said coquettishly, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon! If we can cure Master this time, we can accompany Master to see the old man! They will definitely be very happy after not seeing each other for so many years!"

When he mentioned the old man, Yuan Suiyun's heart suddenly calmed down. He reached out and touched his ear affectionately: "Your senior brother is not from the same world as you. Maybe he will choose to return to his hometown in the end. Will you be angry about this?"

Yun Chuxiu tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head in an open-minded manner: "Although Senior Brother hasn't asked me yet, I can see that he also has this intention, because he and Sister-in-law have been separated for too long. In fact, it's nothing! It's already a gift from God that we can meet. Over the years, everyone has lived happily without any regrets. Why should we be so afraid of separation? Anyway, Master has me by his side, and I will always take care of Master in his old age and see him to the end of his life."

"So, you plan to bring Master here as well?"

"It depends on what Master thinks. It's not up to me to decide." When mentioning Master Xiao Donglou, Yun Chuxiu's tone suddenly became serious. No matter what, it was absolutely impossible for him to influence Master's thoughts.

"So, just pray that after more than 30 years, their relationship can still be the same as before!" Although he said so, Yun Chuxiu didn't take it seriously. After all, he grew up so big and Xiao Donglou never mentioned the old man. The senior brother died because of amnesia, but the master would not have this problem, otherwise how could he teach him martial arts?
However, it was precisely because of this that he pondered for a while and said to Yuan Suiyun: "Love in the world is really strange. Take my senior brother, for example. He and my eldest sister-in-law have been separated for so many years that he still can't remember anything about the past. In fact, he heard everything from my eldest sister-in-law. However, he has no doubts or worries at all. The two of them are as close as if they had never been separated!"

"And the old man is the same. It's been almost 30 years, but he still can't forget the past. He didn't take me seriously when we first met, but this time he came to your house to help us. He can't just leave Jiangnan. Brother Sun is not like his father. He is a simple and good person. I like drinking with him."

"And, and, and, and Ding Dian and his wife, in the next life, they will be husband and wife again... It turns out that there really is a deep love that transcends life and death in this world." Yun Chuxiu sighed. "I don't really believe in the afterlife, but I still feel very moved, what do you think, Lao Yuan?"

He looked at Yuan Suiyun expectantly, but the latter had a calm expression, not hiding his indifference: "What does this have to do with me?"

"what?"

"It's not me who made the agreement with others for the next life, so no matter whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, what does it have to do with me?" Yuan Suiyun said calmly, and looked over at him with a pair of eyes - hidden behind those gentle and harmless eyes, was a gaze sharper than a sword.

"However, husband and wife are birds of a feather. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately. This is the norm in the world, right?"

Yun Chuxiu: “…” This is clearly a veiled attack!
What could he do? He could only hug Yuan Suiyun's neck and comfort him: "Who am I? I will definitely come back to you no matter life or death, just like Madam Ding! Although I used to think you were too narrow-minded and difficult to get along with, and if you weren't good-looking, skilled in martial arts, and smart, you would have been beaten up long ago, but I really like you now! You can't fail to see it, right?"

Now it was Yuan Suiyun's turn to be silent.

"...You've been talking to me less and less frankly lately, always insulting me." The former young master narrowed his eyes, half jokingly, half seriously, and reached out to touch his thigh. "Do you still want your leg?"

"That depends on whether you have the heart to do it~" He was not angry, and Yun Chuxiu was not afraid of him. He simply twisted his waist and rolled with him into the deep of the bed.
