It's just that Jiang Xueyan doesn't believe it a little, just with this little trick, the adults in the yard have never known, and they have never been able to catch Zhou Ziyan who crossed the creek to the other side to steal sweet potatoes, broad beans, corn cobs?

Zhou Ziyan said with a smile: "Of course not, they haven't caught me, in fact, they don't want to arrest me, otherwise, how can I hide my little trick from adults......"

"But I've heard that you've been caught twice, and once you've been beaten so that your nose is bruised and your face is swollen. Jiang Xueyan smiled and revealed Zhou Ziyan's old background.

Zhou Ziyan didn't care, he only smiled and said: "You mean that I was caught by my uncle! Hehe, who made me too greedy, the sweet potato seedlings were only laid down in the field for me not long ago, I still wondered, and said that this year's sweet potatoes are only seen by the vines and no sweet potatoes, as a result, the sweet potatoes of the second uncle's whole field were directly planed clean, and it is strange not to be beaten violently......"

"So that's ......" Jiang Xueyan almost rolled on the ground with laughter,

In the next two days, Zhou Ziyan took Jiang Xueyan to either catch fish in the creek, or went down to the field to help a few old people farm.

Although she is tired, Jiang Xueyan likes more and more this kind of mountain life where the sun rises and rests at sunset, not to mention, the daily meals are almost all mountain delicacies that are rare for Jiang Xueyan.

After three days, Jiang Xueyan felt that she had really gained at least five pounds.

However, Jiang Xueyan didn't pay attention to her slightly fat figure, she was delicious and didn't eat it, it was really a painful torment.

On the morning of the fourth day, Zhou Ziyan got up, had breakfast, and planned to go out, but Jiang Xueyan found that Zhou Ziyan was a little different today, wearing a white suit, which looked particularly solemn.

After a little groaning, Jiang Xueyan remembered that today was Zhou Ziyan's mother's death day, so she quickly changed into a more simple and serious beige formal suit and went out with Zhou Ziyan.

Yu Lei's tomb is actually not far from the courtyard, about a mile away, and it is also a place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, next to Yu Lei's tomb, next to another tomb, is a well-dressed mound, Yang Xiaoting's!

It's just that when Yu Lei died, Zhou Ziyan couldn't come back in time, and the people in the courtyard helped to take care of the aftermath, and there were only the words "Tomb of Mrs. Zhou Lei Yu" on the humble tombstone, and Yang Xiaoting's tomb didn't even have a tombstone.

When he got here, Zhou Ziyan's eyes were red all the time, but not a single tear fell.

just squatted on the edge of the tomb, little by little to pull out the weeds on the grave, although the weeds and thorns cut through Zhou Ziyan's palms and fingers, Zhou Ziyan never said a word, let alone stopped.

Jiang Xueyan knew that in these two tombs, one was Zhou Ziyan's mother, and the other was Yang Xiaoting's clothes who had not even found the bones, so to speak, they were the two most important women in Zhou Ziyan's life.

Seeing that Zhou Ziyan's hands were blurred with flesh and blood, Jiang Xueyan did not dissuade Zhou Ziyan, but with tears in her eyes, she silently accompanied Zhou Ziyan, helped pull out the weeds on the tomb, and went to bleed with Zhou Ziyan.

Zhou Ziyan pulled out the weeds on the two tombs very carefully, picked up the soil, and carefully cultivated the soil to make the two tombs look taller and more rounded.

lit the incense candles and sprinkled the paper money, Zhou Ziyan knelt down and kowtowed, but Zhou Ziyan's every head was knocked very hard, and every head knocked down, and there was a muffled sound.

Mother is like this in front of Lei's grave, Yang Xiaoting is also the same in front of her grave, three bows and nine knocks in front of her mother's grave, and three bows and nine knocks in front of Yang Xiaoting's grave.

In front of the most respected mother and the most beloved girl, Zhou Ziyan was sad in his heart, Jiang Xueyan could understand it, but the grief was so great that Jiang Xueyan was really a little incomprehensible.

It's just that Zhou Ziyan is not only sad that he has lost his two most important women, but also because he has not been able to defeat his biological father Jiang Baige until now, so he hates himself even more, if Jiang Xueyan knows about this, I don't know how he will feel.

It's just that every time Zhou Ziyan kowtows, he feels a little pain in his heart, a point of hatred, but a point of hesitation.

Pain that he lost his two most important women early, every time he kowtowed, his heart hurt a point, he hated himself for not being able to retaliate against Jiang Baige for a long time, every time he kowtowed, he hated himself in his heart, but every time he kowtowed, he hesitated for a point, how to treat his half-sister - Jiang Xueyan!

After kowtowing eighteen heads, Zhou Ziyan couldn't stand up anymore, and he didn't want to stand up, Zhou Ziyan wanted to use the way of lying on the ground to get closer to his mother and his most beloved girl.

Because of his intentions, Zhou Ziyan seemed to hear his mother's loving scolding, and he also seemed to hear Yang Xiaoting's whispering.

Everything has become so clear, yet so blurry.

Jiang Xueyan couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and today, Jiang Xueyan finally saw Zhou Ziyan clearly, in fact, Zhou Ziyan's heart was far less powerful than his appearance.

Jiang Xueyan is even more intelligent, and knows even more that people like Zhou Ziyan are absolutely the same when they are strong on the outside and fragile on the inside, how strong they are on the outside, how fragile they are on the inside, when they are strong on the outside, they can be intimidating or even retreating, and once they touch the fragility of their hearts, they will make people can't help but pity and sympathize.

It can be said that people like Zhou Ziyan are actually a mixture of two extremes, but Zhou Ziyan has a strong ability to restrain himself, and it is not easy for people to touch the fragility of his heart.

"The son is silent, I am silent, and the flowers are separated from ......"

In the blur of tears, Jiang Xueyan heard Zhou Ziyan muttering, her voice was low and weak, if she was chanting or singing, it seemed to be intermittent.

"You have the intention that I have a love for the moon and the alliance will be in the eternal phase......"

After a long time, Zhou Ziyan muttered again: "The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, the silver and the Han are dark, and as soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless ...... in the world."

Jiang Xueyan only said that Zhou Ziyan was telling Yang Xiaoting about her parting feelings, and at the moment, she responded softly: "Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, endure the return of the Queqiao, if the two love for a long time, how can it ......be in the twilight of the dynasty."

It's just that Jiang Xueyan knows that these two or two paragraphs, the first paragraph, was the reconciliation between Jiang Baige and Zhou Ziyan's mother Yu Lei when they met, and the latter song "Queqiao Immortal" was the sustenance of Jiang Baige when Yu Lei missed Jiang Baige after she escaped from Wu Meiyi's persecution, and it was also the favorite and most willing word of Zhou Ziyan and Yang Xiaoting to mention.

Love and hate, love and pain, are intertwined in Zhou Ziyan's heart, making Zhou Ziyan suffer in endless pain.

But the more he suffered, the more tears in Zhou Ziyan's eyes, some were just anger and grief.

Zhou Ziyan lay like this until the afternoon, until it was dark, and he reluctantly returned to Yang Jun's house, and he still lay like this.

This night, Jiang Xueyan did not go to other homes to stay, but guarded Zhou Ziyan until dawn.

At dawn, Jiang Xueyan finally couldn't stay up, and unconsciously, fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Xueyan was awakened by the low sound of quarreling, and when she listened carefully, it turned out that Zhou Ziyan and Yang Jun were outside.

The voices of the two people were very low, for fear that Jiang Xueyan would hear it.

After only a few words, Jiang Xueyan's heart suddenly beat.

"Ziyan, if you still treat me as a brother, forget Xiaoting and start over!"

This is what Yang Jun said.

"It's impossible to ......" Zhou Ziyan's voice was low, but firm and decisive.

"Miss Jiang is a very good girl, you can't miss ......"

"I've said it 10,000 times, and in my heart, except for Xiaoting, I can't accommodate anyone else. ”

"Miss Jiang is so good to you, can you really bear to let her down?"

"......" Zhou Ziyan didn't speak.

"Xiaoting's affairs have passed for so many years, why can't you let go?"

"I owe her so much that I can't compensate her for anything. ”

"Fart......" Yang Jun scolded angrily.

"......" Zhou Ziyan was silent, and he didn't distinguish between them, and he didn't bother to distinguish them with Yang Jun.

After a long pause, Yang Jun said again: "Ziyan, you don't care about anything and always think about Xiaoting in your heart, Xiaoting has been gone for so many years, and nothing has been left, what are you trying to do, can you still remember what she looks like?"

"Let me tell you, even in another fifty years, sixty years, if you ask Xiaoting what she looks like, I will remember it clearly, Brother Jun, can you not keep mentioning Xiaoting to me, I'm afraid, won't you?"

"......" Yang Jun fell silent again.

Jiang Xueyan lay on the small table of the kang bed, and tears poured out at once.

After a long time, I didn't hear Zhou Ziyan and Yang Jun talking again, Jiang Xueyan got out of bed lightly, and was about to go out, when Zhou Ziyan was heard to say in a low voice: "Brother Jun, now I have some small money on hand, if Brother Jun wants to move to the town to live, I can ......"

"Stop ......" Yang Jun categorically stopped Zhou Ziyan's words: "You know, none of the men who came out of us here are cowards, they work their own, whether they are poor or rich, they all live comfortably and calmly, relying on friends and brothers to help, we can't live like that." ”

"I can lend it to you first, and it's not for nothing, at most you can count a little interest......

"Pull you down, I can tell you Ziyan, and then mention this matter to me, I'm in a hurry with you!"

"Okay, I won't tell you about this, and you won't talk to me about Xiaoting, okay?"

"You ......" Yang Jun almost jumped up, but finally held back.

Zhou Ziyan sighed, and said, "I can't stay here for too long, I have to go back tomorrow, Brother Jun, if you have any difficulties......

Yang Jun jumped up all of a sudden: "I'm going back so soon!"

Zhou Ziyan smiled bitterly: "I came back this time, I just want to see my mother and Xiaoting, and I've seen it, but the company is busy, so I can't stay long." ”

Yang Jun sighed: "A good man has ambitions in all directions, you have to be busy with your career, I can't stop you, remember, if you have time to come back twice, perhaps, in a few years, this place will be forgotten." ”

Jiang Xueyan was in the house, she heard it clearly, and she also understood what Yang Jun meant, this place is too remote, perhaps, in a few years, all the people will move out of this place, and when the time comes, this place will soon become a wasteland, a wilderness, a jungle, even if there are still people who can remember, I am afraid they will not be able to enter.

Zhou Ziyan also sighed: "My mother and Xiaoting are here, how can I forget, I plan to take them over when I settle down." ”

"Why bother, Ziyan, I know what you mean, but why bother?" Yang Jun said heavily.

"Alas, I want to go see them again, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back to accompany them?" Zhou Ziyan said slowly.

"Forget it, you just went yesterday, and now you're bothering them...... Forget it, I'll go with you, as long as you don't get closer, it's fine......"

After saying this, I didn't hear the voices of the two people anymore, Jiang Xueyan wandered around the house, it turned out that Jiang Xueyan still felt that she could use her heart to warm and melt the ice in Zhou Ziyan's heart, although it may be difficult, but she can persevere, and now it seems that it is really difficult to reach the sky.
