Synopsis: In the fifth world, the two searched all the way south in order to find Yang Ming's sweetheart, and temporarily lived in the Wulin League.

————————————————————————————————————————

The peaceful town, the people talking, and the slanting sun on the horizon are warm and cool at night. Yang Ming looked at Li Yao's face that was reflected in orange, the apple muscles that appeared because of laughter were particularly good-looking, the laughter of the people around him seemed to fade away, and the picture was like flowers and ink scattered in the water, only that Li Yao looked particularly clear in the chaos.

What should this feeling be called?

The woman named Chengyue they saw before seemed to be very lively, and half of the gossip they heard revolved around her, from the mess she made when she was a child to the time she couldn't get married when she grew up, and it was obvious that she was a child who grew up by the townspeople, and she was very popular. Li Yao was listening, turned his head and saw Yang Ming looking at him, so he smiled at him, and happened to see a gentleman with a good bearing coming from a distance, still holding a rope in his hand, and a little monkey was led at the end of the rope, the little monkey was wearing very conspicuous clothes, red background and green flowers, and he was festive when he looked at it.

The aunts who were chatting had sharp eyes, and when they saw the little monkey, they walked up with a smile and teased: "Isn't what Aunt Zhang is wearing today, it looks good!

The aunt, who was called Aunt Zhang, looked proud: "I just said it looks good." You still don't believe it, and you don't know how good I was when I was young. ”

"Next time, wear that little crimson dress I made!

A few people, you say a word, the little monkey is not afraid of people at all, the expression on a small face is very humane, the eyes are big, the others are blocked by the crowd, and Li Yao can't see it very clearly.

The owner of the little monkey, that is, the son with extraordinary bearing, directly untied the rope tied to the monkey, so that the aunts could carry it around, and said: "I ate it early, and my stomach is round, so I brought it out to eat." ”

"So thin, you won't get fat if you eat, it's better to eat more... By the way, Qi Chu, when will the matter between you and the girl be decided?——"

The boy named Qi Chu smiled very shyly: "We mean childhood sweethearts, please stop making jokes." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone else was excited, and an uncle took two mouthfuls of rice and said vaguely: "Let's laugh?

"Yes, yes, you always let the little girl take the initiative, what kind of man is it!"

An aunt smiled: "We haven't mentioned you two baby kisses yet!"

The more the topic was talked, the more he deviated, and in the end, he was basically persuading this Qi Chu prince and Cheng Yue, but Qi Chu didn't seem to have any other thoughts about Cheng Yue, only saying that he was a sister.

Everyone sighed, and the little monkey lowered his head to cover his face very humanely, and Qi Chu looked sorry: "Besides, I already have a place in my heart, so don't match me and Yue'er in the future." ”

"Yo, that girl do you have a crush on?"

The interest of a group of people was quickly attracted to a new direction, and Li Yao watched the excitement for a while, and felt that it was nothing, so he returned to the house with Yang Ming.

Light the lamp and put away the pestle of the window. Yang Ming took off his robe: "Do you have any relatives?"

Why do you ask this? "My parents are probably dead, so I don't think I have any siblings... Actually, I don't remember much, I just remember that I was in Pucheng for a long time, and then I was picked up by our shopkeeper... Until now. Why did Brother Yang ask about this?"

Yang Ming replied very bluntly: "I want to know about you." ”

Li Yao thought for a while: "I don't have anything to talk about, unlike those chivalrous warriors, who are burdened with martial arts and can run as they please, I can't, I don't have martial arts... This time, I was stained with the light of Brother Yang, so I could come out and see the world. ”

"If you want to break through, you can run it, I will protect you. ”

"Thank you. But I don't want to be protected, and I don't want to go out. ”

"You don't have a place you want to go?"

"No, I don't have big ambitions, so I just want to live a dull life..."Li Yao fiddled with the edge of the lacquer bowl on the table, and one of them was broken, grinding his hands. "I just live in a small town, do whatever I want, and live day in and day out. ”

"Then why do you want to be stronger?"

Oh, yes. If you plan to live like that, why do you want to become stronger?

He rubbed his fingertips back and forth in that gap: "I don't know, maybe I had a hard life when I was a child, and I was always scared." “

Thinking about it, there is only this reason, and he really wants to become powerful in his heart, because it seems to be able to protect... Who to protect?

Yang Ming said: "I am also similar to you, I have an obsession, I can't explain it, and I can't let it go." ”

"It's the one you came to ask for in Gao Laozhuang... Found your sweetheart?"

"Yes, it always feels like there's someone waiting for me to find it. ”

Li Yao smiled: "Speaking of this, I remembered it, when I first saw Brother Yang, I felt very close in my heart, as if I had seen it, this is also a kind of fate." ”

Yang Ming's heart palpitated.

Li Yao didn't see his expression, and continued: "But I don't know what kind of demeanor that girl should be, Brother Yang's talent... It's not that I mean to brag about it, if it's those ordinary women, I really don't think it's up to you. ”

He had never said such a thing before, and for a while he felt a little blushing, so he added:

"I'm really not polite, I think, Brother Yang... Brother Yang..."

The more he explained, the more he felt unrefreshed, hoping that Yang Ming could say something to let him come to the stage, but after waiting for a while, Yang Ming didn't speak, he looked up and saw that Yang Ming was lowering his head and didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't pay attention to what he was saying.

He sighed, a little inexplicably lost.

"You're not something ordinary people can deserve. Yang Ming said suddenly.

"Ahh

Yang Ming's tone of speech has always been very serious, his mouth is full of heart, and he is very serious no matter what he says. In the face of such praise, Li Yao didn't know how to answer, so he had to change the topic bluntly:

"I'm so ordinary, it's satisfying to find someone to live with... By the way, if I can have brothers and sisters like Brother Yang, I wish I could have a brother, after all—"

"Not really. Yang Ming interrupted him.

"Not really...... What?"

"You are not ordinary at all, and it is a great blessing to be your partner. ”

The topic that I wanted to understate before, was solemnly placed on the table by the other party.

Li Yao's heart thumped unobediently.

"A lot of things are easier said than done. Maintaining one's heart is very difficult to become stronger. Although you are mild-natured, you do not follow the crowd, nor are you weak, but only out of good intentions. If you haven't suffered, you're just immature and defenseless, but you're different. ”

The twilight had dissipated, the sky outside had completely settled, and the small voices of gossip had dissipated imperceptibly, and only the indistinguishable shrill insect chirp was faintly undulating outside.

"There are too many people who are good by nature and are the most selfish. Not only that, ungratefuls and others like to laugh at others for being stupid, not understanding the so-called way of survival, and talking about people who don't kill for themselves. You can't easily make a conclusion about which is right and which is not natural, but you have been deceived and hurt, and you know that the world is ugly, but you can still treat people with kindness, and you are as clean as ever, this is exactly what I-"

He looked at him steadily: "—a place to admire you." ”

Li Yao's fingers were unconsciously tangled together, and when he wanted to clench them, he found that he had no strength and was trembling gently.

Actually, I'm not such a good person, and I've been angry and complaining, and I remember that I once made up my mind to close myself off and never treat anyone else well, but then somehow it became the same.

I always thought it was because I was cowardly. It turns out that that is also a very good quality?

Even the things that I didn't realize were recognized by others.

At that moment, Li Yao was a little full-eyed, and it took him half a day to open his mouth, and his voice was a little hoarse:

"Thank you. ”

Yang Ming didn't say anything more, stood up, and walked into the back room.

Although this town is not big, it is peaceful and peaceful, living here until now, Li Yao has not seen anyone who hates each other, basically everyone is harmonious, even if it is a guest from the rivers and lakes, when he arrives here, he will be washed away a little bit of killing and smiling. The merchant shouted enthusiastically, the blacksmith sang unintelligible folk songs in dialect with the sound of percussion, and the young man who came out of the rivers and lakes deliberately pretended to be old with a straight face and crossed his arms, but a pair of eyes betrayed the curiosity in his heart... These are all very common sights in small towns.

And the evening meal is the most lively time in the town, as if the hard work of the day is just for this pleasure moment and the existence of the foil, adults and children all come out with rice bowls to stroll, some good squatting stones, or the superior position, is for the older generation to sit, if the ignorant children rashly occupy, will be reprimanded by their own adults.

In addition to these residents, several people in the Wulin League Mansion also often come out to hang out, the most lively is Chengyue, who should be at the age of marriage, but he is crazy and loves to chase his brother's childhood sweetheart Qi Chu, no wonder the people in the town love to talk about her- This is not a malicious talk, everyone is watching Cheng Yue grow up, Cheng Yue usually likes to mess with cats and dogs and play children, if she can have a good home, everyone will be happy for her, but it is a pity that the flowers are intentional, Qi Chu as a flowing water is ruthless, but being pestered by such a good girl all day long, it is really impossible to say whether she will be tempted.

On the day Cheng Che informed them that they had returned from Frost Flower, Li Yao realized that he had stopped here for a while, and the serene scene of day after day made him almost forget the original purpose of his departure.

Before leaving, the old lady next door took the basket full of preserved fruits and asked him to bring it, Li Yao wanted to leave some money for the old man, but the old lady turned it out and chased after the back of the carriage and shouted under the pillow, saying that he was already old, and he had no children by his side, so there was no need to accept it.

If your son comes back... He wanted to use this reason to persuade him, but in the end he stopped talking. The old man repeatedly asked them to come here to play when they were free, and then they stood on the side of the road and watched their carriage go away, it had been a long time, and Li Yao could still see the old man when he opened the curtain.

It wasn't until it was so big that it slowly became a grain of sand and could no longer be seen, that the old man turned his back, lifted his blue cloth apron, and wiped his eyes. 166 Reading Network
