Before meeting Cai Taoyao, Li Yundao had some doubts about the sunken fish and geese and the shy flowers that were often mentioned in the book, and did not deny it, but at least he also thought that the book was always a little exaggerated, and the beauties who were like Bao Xi would only float the fragrance of books and ink on the paper. This can't be blamed, after all, the most beautiful person of the opposite sex that this pervert who has read the book of life is nothing more than the aura girl in Liushui Village. But the appearance of the woman of the Cai family can't help but say that this man who has been tossing in the mountains for more than 20 years knows why the king of Zhou You will play the beacon fire opera princes just for Bo Yi to smile, the so-called red face and disaster are just like this.

The women of the Cai family are not smoky and flattering, on the contrary, under the cultivation of the old man of the Cai family, the whole body always exudes the smell of a great bodhisattva that is not stained with dust and smoke, which can only be viewed from a distance, and must not be close to obscenity.

Li Yundao thought that it would be surprising enough for tens of millions of people to have such an amazing appearance like the woman of the Cai family, but Li Yundao never expected that there would be a beauty billet in front of him who was equal to the woman of the Cai family.

Diagonally tied ponytail, loose white long-sleeved sweater, black stilettos, white canvas shoes, when this fresh figure jumped down from the Land Rover, the Li family was stunned with no grace.

"Why did you think of this big demon Huiyou for no reason when you saw this girl?" Li Yundao couldn't help muttering in his heart, and suddenly thought of something, and when he watched the beautiful woman pass by, this thing actually smirked to himself.

If it is said that such two women would definitely cause a world scene full of floating corpses in ancient times, Li Yundao felt that it was not an exaggeration at all, at least these two women who were laughing and hugging each other on the street had a return rate of nearly 100%.

Cai Taoyao, who rarely showed a comfortable smile, took the hand of the other person and walked to Li Yundao, who was smirking: "Xiaoxiao, let me introduce you, this is my friend, he is Li Yundao." This is my sister Qin Xiaoxiao, although she is not her own sister, but she is closer than her own sister, I will not be in Suzhou in the future, you have something to do, you can call her. ”

The girl who had completely ignored Li Yundao looked at Li Yundao, who had been silent, in slight surprise, and scored it, her first impression, not good, not bad, barely passing.

"Hello, my name is Qin Xiaoxiao, and I am my sister. The five fingers on the hand like onion jade were delicate, which made Li Yundao involuntarily think of the best white jade in the legend.

"Even my fingers have a fight with Hui You's guy, it's all fate!" someone was already shouting the scene of the little beauty "second sister-in-law" in his heart, "I just don't know if Hui You's ladyboy likes this type of thing." ”

"Hello, I'm Li Yundao. Before stretching out his hand, Li Da Diaomin wiped the hand that was just hidden behind him on the back placket, as if he was about to touch the most sacred thing in the world, but the two women opposite him had no idea that Da Diaomin was thinking about how to trick this girl who seemed to be a perfect match for Hui You everywhere into the door of the Li family.

Five fingers touched, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly found that the strange man opposite actually had a pair of quite good-looking black eyes, in an instant

It was just a momentary loss of consciousness, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly came back to her senses, smiled very politely at Li Yundao, turned her head again, and took the hand of the woman of the Cai family: "Sister Xiaoxiao, don't call people a big man, how rude." ”

Cai Taoyao smiled and said, "This is my affectionate name for him." It's just that as soon as the words came out, Cai Taoyao also felt a little inappropriate, and added: "Didn't I give my Doudou a nickname?"

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, as if she was amused, but she glanced at Li Yundao apologetically, and said to Cai Taoyao beside her: "Sister Xiaoxiao, can people be the same as dogs?"

"Little girl, what do you know, this guy is not a good person!" Cai Taoyao said in a low voice, and at the same time pretended to look at Li Yundao sternly, as if looking at some wrongdoer.

Qin Xiaoxiao laughed softly: "Sister Xiaoxiao, you are really, I am seventeen years old, you still treat me as a child? You have been so cautious in doing things since you were a child, how can you be friends with bad people? Besides, you also know, even if he is a bad person, in this place in Jiangnan, grandpa doesn't speak......" Qin Xiaoxiao was very careful to stop, obviously talking about some taboo topic.

The woman of the Cai family was very careful not to continue the topic, but sighed slightly and said: "It's a pity that the trip to Jiangnan this time is too intense, and you are a busy person, but fortunately, there is this big Diao Min as a guide." As he spoke, he glanced up at Li Yundao, who slowly walked across the street, "Overall, he's a good guide...... Well, it's a pretty interesting guy too. ”

"Is it interesting?" Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the man in a khaki tunic not far away, and shook her head: "It seems to be a little wooden, it's the twenty-first century, and it's like a revolutionary war." ”

"For some people, every day he lives is war. The women of the Cai family have always liked to speak like a Buddha, and Qin Xiaoxiao was not surprised by a sudden obscure sentence.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the figure walking on the opposite street, and said slowly, "Is it necessary?

A pun, a layer of transparent paper, for these sisters who are more than sisters, there is no need to pierce it at all.

"There was already a living lesson of failure in front of me, and there was no reason for me to look at the fire pit in front of me and jump into it. Everyone understands the truth that twisted melons are not sweet, but when this kind of thing happens to others, there is often only the mercy of bystanders. My life is given by the Cai family, but the freedom of my soul is my own Cai Taoyao. ”

Qin Xiaoxiao's innocent face suddenly turned a little pale, she bit her lower lip and didn't speak, and it took a long time before she said slowly: "No matter what, sister, I support you." After finishing speaking, he was silent for a moment, and then added: "Support until the last moment." ”

After another moment of silence, Qin Xiaoxiao raised her head and said slowly: "I'm afraid that the Jiang family will not forgive......"

The point is stopped, but the words are like stones, breaking the lake.

Cai Taoyao was silent for a long time before she let out a long sigh, and the whole person leaned on the Land Rover, as if she had lost the strength of her whole body: "Sometimes, I think that if I was not born in such a family, but just a child of an ordinary family, what should I ...... Forget it, this kind of whimsical thing, it's better to think less in the future, otherwise you won't even have the least fighting spirit. After finishing speaking, the woman of the Cai family, who was as inviolable as Qinglian, reappeared, as if it was another person who had just leaned softly on the car.

"Hey, where did that Li Yundao go?"

Qin Xiaoxiao realized that Li Yundao, who was still across the street just now, had actually disappeared at this moment.

Cai Taoyao seemed to be exhausted at the moment: "If you want to go, you still have to go." Let's go too, I'm afraid it's going to be blocked on the highway again. ”

As the car started, the familiar navy blue tunic reappeared in front of the car.

"Give!"

Cai Taoyao was slightly shocked and took two things from Li Yundao's hand, one was a long bamboo stick, and the other was actually a piece of jade with excellent color and mellowness.

"The sign is just to go to the Xuan Miao Guan to ask, it is said to be very spiritual, on the sign, although not everything goes well, but this time back, at least you should be able to do your heart. This jade is the ten forces that I asked me to pass on to you, saying that it is a blessing of what scriptures, whether it is useful I dare not say, take it, and try to calm your mind. ”

Holding the bamboo skewers and puyu that still carried the temperature and moisture in his hands, Cai Taoyao first lost his mind slightly, and then smiled sweetly at the big Diao Min outside the car window, and beckoned to Li Yundao, signaling him to lean over.

"Da Diaomin, if I can escape this catastrophe this time, I will marry you, okay?"

The fresh blue breeze wafting in his ears made Li Yundao's whole body feel like a spring breeze, but the content made this young man who had been waiting on the mountain for more than 20 years a little dumbfounded.

It wasn't until Li Yundao slowly came back to his senses that he smiled bitterly, but the last sweet smile of the Cai family woman who was like a great bodhisattva planted a seed in the brain of this great man, just waiting for it to sprout slowly.

In the car, Cai Taoyao, who was holding a bamboo stick and a jade, closed his eyes and recuperated, but the sweet smile on his face did not disappear for a long time, at this moment, Cai Tao's woman was finally freed from the pressure of political marriage, and the rest was only full of warmth: "Da Diao Min, I see that you are not stupid, you want to give away your amulet but you don't know how to find a better excuse, you think I don't see you put this piece of jade in the palm of your hand every day, you are really a guy who doesn't know how to express." ”

After a long time, Cai Taoyao opened her eyes and smiled even more: "Girl, promise me one thing." ”

"Huh?"

"When I'm not in Suzhou, don't go behind my back and secretly get along with the people. ”

"What?"

"Anyway, without my consent, you are not allowed to be good with Da Diao Min. ”

"Cut, it's like a baby, it's just that antique-like guy, it's inconspicuous anywhere, don't worry, not only will I not rob you, but if any woman dares to approach him, I'll ...... Huh"

The woman of the Cai family, who was slowly rubbing the piece of jade in the palm of her hand, smiled and said slowly: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be made." What you see now is just a piece of jade that has not been carved, and one day, you will see a modern version of He's Bi. ”

Sometimes, life is like watching a tragedy that has already come to an end, no matter how much you stay up late and toss, you are destined to not be able to change the final tragic ending.

Sometimes, life is different from tragedy, because you can refuse to watch the tragic plot, but you can never refuse the tragic ending of real life, because life always has to go on slowly.

Yes, life still has to go on, just like after Cai Taoyao left, Li Yundao's life re-entered the turbulent waves when he first arrived. It's because of the appearance of the Cai family's woman, the builder surnamed Zhu really seems to have given enough face, and I don't know if he got any promises, anyway, as long as it's dirty work, it's almost all about Li Da Diaomin, and in the future, there is really nothing suitable for Li Yundao to arrange, and the builder who is comparable to a human spirit finally arranged Li Yundao to count the materials. The materials on the construction site do not arrive every day, according to the hard work of the big Diao people, nothing happened, on the contrary, as long as the materials from the supplier's side are flawed, they are all picked out one by one by the sharp-eyed Li family Da Diao Min. At first, Zhu Zhishan was not at ease, and often let his nephew come to take a look, and later observed Li Yundao on the spot a few times to count the materials, and then completely left it alone.

It's just that this errand can be described as very idle, and many times it is empty for most of the day, and when this gap is drawn, Li Yundao began to give lessons to Shili Gyatso. No one dared to imagine that such a child, who often had to be held in his hands by adults, could actually read the curriculum of the first year of junior high school, except for English, of course, because his Mr. Li Da seemed to be a mountain man who didn't know anything about English.

After lunch, Li Yundao spread out a newspaper on the simple desk, although the grade was a little worse, but it was still complete with pen, ink and paper. Shili is too small to reach the table, so he simply moved a stool and leaned against the table, the same newspaper, pen and ink, but the paper was specially cut small by Li Yundao, and the pen was also bought by Li Yundao in a stationery store near a nearby school.

The words are vigorous and powerful, angular and round, and they really match the temperament of the young man in a Mao suit sitting at the table. Words are like people.

One big and one small, almost at the same time, Li Yundao wrote about the Huaisu monk, and the little guy half-squatted in front of the stool to copy Li Dajia's own creation.

The outdoor construction site machine roared, and the indoor two people were engrossed in the pen, unaware of the harsh metal friction sound outside.

Ten minutes later, Li Yundao put down his pen and sleeves, and in one go, the cursive script of Monk Huaisu was like a natural one. Li Yundao didn't squeak, just walked behind Shili safely, looking at the little guy who meticulously copied the "word sticker" word by word.

Serious people are the loveliest, not to mention this little lama who is unusually pink and lovable. Every stroke is taken seriously, and there are already faint traces of Li Yundao in the words formed by the pen.

Half an hour later, a neat small block script appeared on the paper, Li Yundao picked up the paper, read it from beginning to end without pulling a word, and then slowly put down the paper: "The shape is like eight points, but Shen Yun is still missing eight points." ”

The little guy who heard this comment was not annoyed but happy, you must know that Li Yundao's usual comments are often only four words, such as "bullshit", "no charm", "walking dead" and the like. Such a comment that looks like eight points but lacks eight points of verve is the highest evaluation Shili Gyatso has received since he learned calligraphy with Li Yundao at the age of three.

Praised by the Li family's Da Diao family, the little lama touched his head and smiled very happily, with a mouthful of white teeth, just looking at Li Yundao's eyes flickering.

"Say, what's the matter?" is the so-called raising birds and knowing the hearts of birds, the little lama who has been following Li Yundao since he was an infant pouts his buttocks, and the Li family's big Diao people know what this little guy is going to shit, even in the eyes of others, the little guy is a godlike little lama.

After squeaking for a long time, Shili finally made his words clear, and a noble person visited today.

Li Yundao just glared at the little guy, and didn't continue to say anything, the little guy's starting point is actually good, everyone wants to have this kind of prophetic ability, but Li Yundao doesn't like it, and even hates this kind of fatalism, hates this kind of tragic life that has a good ending at the beginning.

Li Yundao can't remember exactly when it began, Shili Gyatso began to show a different way of thinking from ordinary people, as if he could foresee many things, and it was precisely because of this that the bow horn was repeatedly saved from danger in the siege of the wolves. Others don't know, but Li Yundao is clear, everything has a price, and what is paid by ten efforts is what Li Da Diaomin is most afraid of losing. For Li Yundao, who treats Shili as a relative, the life of the little guy is more important than a qiē, even if he is trapped in the mountain for another thirty years, he is not willing to exchange Shili for his life for the glory of his life.

This time, Li Yundao didn't get angry, but just instructed Shili to repeat the post just now, and then opened the door and went out.

Shili didn't have any complaints, just watched Li Yundao with a gloomy face walk out, and after the door was closed, the little guy smiled very satisfied, revealing two unusually cute little tiger teeth, picked up the brush, re-laid a layer of newspaper that had been cut a long time ago, and put the pen down again, meticulously, and with a good pen.

Ten minutes later, Li Yundao pushed the door in, smelled his fragrance first, and then saw his person. The girl of the Qin family watched with admiration Shili writing in the newspaper one by one, her expression was serious and solemn, as if she was in the morning and evening classes in the lama temple.

Seeing Li Yundao coming in, Qin Xiaoxiao put her index finger to her pink lips and made a silent motion, signaling Li Yundao not to make a sound, affecting the Ten Forces Pro sticker.

Li Yundao nodded, walked to the table with a smile, and put down a small plastic bag, like a few apples that looked very attractive.

Li Yundao was about to take out an apple and peel it for the guest, but was stopped by Qin Xiaoxiao, signaling him that it would not be too late to eat it after the little guy finished practicing calligraphy.

So the two of them invariably looked at each other and focused on the paper that was quite neatly cut, and Shili didn't seem to notice that there were two more people around him, and all the essence, energy, and spirit were concentrated on the tip of the brush in his hand.

Twenty minutes later, another one finally landed for the final stroke.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the waste newspaper, her eyes flickering faintly.

"Little guy, who taught you how to write well?" Qin Xiaoxiao held the newspaper in her hand, reluctant to put it down for a long time, obviously she had received a very good education, so she could appreciate the true charm between the lines.

Shili didn't speak, and his two small eyes stared at Li Yundao.

Li Yundao just took out an apple from the bag, and then took out a strangely shaped knife like a trick, and peeled the apple by himself for a long time before he said slowly: "Just one word difference, breaking the charm of the whole text, alas, it's a pity." ”

"What a pity, obviously this word has reached a certain level, how old is he, don't be so harsh. Qin Xiaoxiao frowned and argued for the little guy, in fact, she also saw that it was indeed one of the words that ruined the charm of the whole text, but she knew that it was when she pushed the door in just now that it affected the little guy's writing.

Li Yundao didn't refute, but continued to seriously peel the good-looking apple in his hand.

The next scene made Qin Xiaoxiao stunned.

The little guy didn't say a word, just spread out another waste newspaper, and his pink little hands spread out the newspaper, and then wrote it.

"Alright, let's get here today, rest for a while, and eat an apple. ”

A peeled apple in one hand, handed to Qin Xiaoxiao and Shili respectively, at this time Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned to find that the man in front of him was actually a one-handed apple cut, the technique was very strange, and the knife was also strange, but the action was done in one go, and after it was over, even the skin was completely glued to the pulp, gently lifted, and spread out a string, and the long look was very artistic.

"Can you cut another one for me to see?"

It was a very peculiar-looking blade, but the little thumb was as long as a little finger, the whole body was jet black, as thin as a cicada's wings, and the three-sided blade was sandwiched between Li Da Diaomin's slender fingers, turning strangely and dazzling.

Li Yundao sandwiched the blade between the middle finger and the ring finger, surprisingly the blade was facing inward, the thumb was pressed on the top of the apple, and the little finger on the lower side gently turned the apple, the movement was gentle, but the speed was extremely fast, just the blink of an eye, and the apple skin was peeled, but because the force was just right, the peeled apple skin was all close to the flesh, and at first glance, it seemed to be an intact apple.

Seeing that the two of them took the apple, Li Yundao did not agree to Qin Xiaoxiao's request to show his hand again. It is true that Li Da Diaomin is very stingy, but he is not stingy with his unique skills, but he feels sorry for the apples that are not cheap for him, five pieces of eighty-one pounds of apples, if he doesn't want to buy them for Shili to eat, he himself is absolutely reluctant to spend this money. Although he has made a small amount of money on the construction site now, plus the "tour guide fee" given by Cai Taoyao before leaving, it is also a few thousand, if you add the jade that has been sold for many years and some money from Gao Pang, Li Yundao can be regarded as having some savings. It's just that he is struggling to survive in this strange city with a child who is less than ten years old, who can predict what will happen one day, plus Li Yundao is already thinking about whether to send Shili to school to study, this cost is to be saved.

Qin Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't guess Li Yundao's unique "stinginess", and thought that he was reluctant to let others learn his unique skills, so he didn't ask much, but he couldn't help but glance at the newspaper on the simple desk that hadn't had time to put away: "Who wrote this cursive script?"

Li Yundao stretched out and picked up the two apple peels that looked artistic, and put them on the newspaper where the words were written: "That is, just write casually, it's nothing." After that, he picked up the newspaper and threw it away as a garbage containing apple peels.

At this time, Qin Xiaoxiao, who was eating apples in small bites, was in a hurry: "Don't don't, if you don't want it, give it to me." ”

"Huh?" This time it was Li Yundao's turn to be stunned, to be honest, he really couldn't figure out why the fresh little beauty in front of him was interested in that old newspaper, and it was also a discarded newspaper that had been scribbled by himself, which had already been regarded as waste. "Okay! This time, Li Yundao was really generous, just watching the newspaper that was crumpled into a ball by himself being picked up by the other party, he always felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't give others any big gifts, some garbage for himself, and he pretended to be so generous. Thinking of this, Li Da Diaomin couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment.

It's not that Qin Xiaoxiao hasn't seen strange people since she was a child, on the contrary, there is an endless stream of talented people who come to visit the old man of the Qin family, but today, this inconspicuous Li family master still surprised her.

Not only because of this hand like an acrobatic national art of peeling apples, but also because the one on the table has not had time to put away. Ordinary people may not be able to see what is painted on an abandoned newspaper, but Qin Xiaoxiao has been influenced by Qin Guhe since she was a child, and she naturally knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Having carried home countless calligraphy trophies since kindergarten, it is impossible for her not to see how valuable the graffiti of confidence is on this discarded newspaper. She can not exaggerate the slightest affirmation that if the president of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy sees this newspaper, he will definitely not say a word, and will give it to an honorary academician first. Monk Huaisu has been writing for thousands of years, how many can inherit his mantle? How many can inherit the mantle and can be in their own vein?

Taking over the crumpled newspaper, Qin Xiaoxiao first took out a piece of face cloth paper with a faint fragrance from her LV satchel, wrapped the two apple skins, and then carefully flattened the crumpled newspaper on the table, and gently flattened those folds with her white and slender fingers. Li Yundao, who was on the side, was a little embarrassed, as if he had just rubbed the newspaper and become an unforgivable sin.

Li Yundao was not a very expressive person, so he didn't say a word to Qin Xiaoxiao for a long time, but he heard the sound of a little lama eating an apple in the room, and the subtle sound of Qin Xiaoxiao gently rubbing the newspaper with her good-looking and mellow fingers.

It seemed that he was silent for a long time before he heard Shili holding most of the apples and sending them to Li Yundao: "Brother Yundao, I can't eat it, you can eat it for me!"

Qin Xiaoxiao glanced back inadvertently, but saw Li Yundao smiling and touching Shili's head: "Shili eats by himself, Brother Yundao has eaten lunch, and he can't eat it at this time." ”

Shili Gyatso didn't listen to him, but just sent most of the grass fruit to Li Yundao's mouth very sensibly: "Brother Yundao, you can eat some too, you love apples the most." ”

"Ten forces eat by themselves, I'm really not hungry!"

However, Qin Xiaoxiao really saw that after the little lama retracted his little hand, Li Yundao's Adam's apple shook up and down obviously. Obviously she really wanted to eat, why didn't she eat it? But how could she, who was quick-witted, not figure out the key to this, and immediately understood Li Da Diaomin's concerns, and this time, she finally understood why Li Yundao refused her request just now.

"Oops!" The apple that Qin Xiaoxiao had just nibbled on in her hand suddenly fell to the ground and rolled several times before stopping. Wherever there would be any clean place on this construction site, the white apples were immediately covered with dust.

Li Yundao shook his head helplessly, first bent down to pick up the apple, put it in his hand, and then took out an apple from the bag, rinsed it on the water tap on the side, and once again tricked it, the black blade appeared between Li Yundao's fingers again.

Qin Xiaoxiao immediately stopped what she was doing and watched Li Yundao's performance with interest. This time, she really saw it and didn't let go of a single detail.

But this time, Da Diao Min used two hand-peeled apples, but the method was very different from ordinary methods. It's two hands, but the other hand is only using one index finger. I saw Li Yundao fixing the apple and the blade with his right hand, and gently swiping the index finger of his left hand against the apple, the rather large apple immediately turned rapidly, and it could be judged from the sound of the apple rubbing against the blade that the apple was turning quite fast, so fast that the naked eye didn't seem to be able to see it clearly.

Qin Xiaoxiao just blinked, and another peeled apple was sent to her. Qin Xiaoxiao was almost a little excited at this moment, as if she had seen a little girl with a star puppet, and looked at Li Yundao in front of her very curiously.

But Li Yundao didn't pay much attention to her, and then picked up the apple that had just fallen to the ground and was covered with dust, and rinsed it clean on the water tap, except for two small bites by Qin Xiaoxiao, the apple was still intact.

"Click!" The sound of biting the apple was sweet and crisp, and Li Yundao believed that the money was not spent unjustly.

But then when he raised his head, he found that Qin Xiaoxiao, who was standing opposite, had red eyes and watery eyes staring at the apple in his hand.

"Hmm, could it be that this apple is better than yours?" Li Yundao said curiously.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't speak, just glared at Li Yundao fiercely, and said with a red cheek: "My grandfather asked me to pick you up and take you to him." ”

"Your grandfather?" Li Yundao then remembered, her surname was Qin, and the old man that day was also surnamed Qin, and it was estimated that the grandfather in her mouth should be the one who met the old man in white who was playing Tai Chi in the pavilion of the Humble Administrator's Garden.

"Yes, haven't you met my grandfather with my sister? I don't know where you are, he is full of praise for you, Da Diaomin!"

Li Yundao was stunned. He just played chess with the old man for a while, chatted for a while, and he was not even a general friend, at most it was called a one-sided relationship, why did the old man look for him?
