I saw at a glance that the one who walked in front was Xue Qian on horseback.

At her age, she actually came on horseback.

The moment I saw her, I couldn't help but gasp in my heart, fortunately those words were not completely said just now, if she heard it, I was afraid that this Xichuan would not need anyone to provoke provocation, and he would be in a mess first.

I couldn't help but raise my hand and wipe the cold sweat from the corner of my forehead.

She was followed by a large group of people, naturally also her attendants and maids, all of them rode out of the grove slowly, and when I saw this battle, I also understood that as soon as my departure was discovered by them, they should have decided to come here immediately, but after all, I was traveling lightly, and a large group of them did not travel faster than my feet.

Xue Qian was riding on horseback, with a face that was turned up and lost her temper, when she saw me, she seemed to be relieved, but immediately her eyebrows were twisted up, and she glared at me angrily.

Looking at this posture, this scolding can't be escaped.

I took a deep breath, then raised my head and said to Xue Qian, "Old lady." ”

Her face was gloomy, she glared at me fiercely, and then said, "Hmph, you are so bold!"

I said calmly: "I knew that the head of the family and the old lady were going to come to the ancestral hall to deal with affairs, so I specially rushed over in advance to prepare for the elders. ”

"Prepare, you think I don't know what you're here for?"

She rode up to me, and I hardly doubt that the next moment she might be going to teach me a lesson as an "unfilial girl." But just as she came up to me and looked at me condescendingly, all of a sudden, her gaze fell on my face—there were some tiny scars.

It was made when he fell off his horse on the river beach that day and was dragged by the reins and rolled on the ground, which was not too strict, but from his cheeks to his chin, there were several small scars, which were still a little ugly.

Her face froze, and her gaze fell on my hand again.

I still have a cane in my hand.

She said, "You, you're hurt?"

My heart moved slightly, and I hurriedly and quietly stuffed the cane into Aunt Hong's hand, and then said, "I'm not injured, it's Aunt Hong-it's been raining for the past two days, and Aunt Hong's leg hurts." ”

“……”

Xue Qian raised her eyebrows and looked me up and down again. Although I did suffer a lot that day, but fortunately, except for the ankle injury, nothing else hurt the muscles and bones, only some abrasions on the cheeks were exposed, and even if the arrow wound on the ankle was treated with good gold sore medicine, and it was treated properly, except for a little inconvenience, there was no major problem, so outsiders could not see anything from this view.

She let out a long breath, as if she was still a little angry, and looked at Aunt Hong beside me: "You, what are you doing here again?"

Aunt Hong said: "Like the eldest lady, I came in advance to prepare for the old lady and the head of the family. ”

"Humph!"

Xue Qian glanced at us coldly, didn't bother to say anything to us, straightened up, and rode into the village.

Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, and before Aunt Hong could ask me, I heard another sound of horses' hooves in front of me, and the sound of people's footsteps, and more people came out of the woods, and I saw at a glance that Yan Qingchen was sitting on a rattan chair, carried high by several people, and walked along the main road.

I hurried over.

"Light Dust!"

He sat on it with a pale face, a thin blanket on his lap, and his spirit looked a little worse than when he was at Yan's house two days ago, I suddenly felt heartache, and looked at him with my hand on the armrest of the rattan chair: "What's wrong with you?"

He turned his head to look at me, gritted his teeth, and reluctantly smiled: "Sister." ”

"Light dust. ”

"Sister, are you injured?"

As soon as he saw my face, he immediately reached out to touch it, but as soon as he raised his wrist, he couldn't move, and his hand drooped limply.

He frowned himself, as if he wanted to be angry, but this time he didn't even have the strength to be angry, so he could only sigh and say to me, "I'm really useless." ”

"Qingchen, don't say that. ”

At this time, an attendant beside him stepped forward and whispered: "Miss, I have been on the road yesterday, and the head of the family has not been able to take medicine on time, so my spirit and body will be worse." We must hurry into the village and let the head of the house rest at once, or else—"

"Okay, okay, go!"

As I spoke, I asked Aunt Hong to go in and ask someone to say goodbye, Aunt Hong also agreed, grabbed my crutch and hurriedly walked over to guide them into the village, at this time, the people in the village already knew that the head of the Yan family and the old lady had arrived, and they came out one after another, and I immediately saw the thin and tall figure of the old man Ma appearing at the entrance of the village.

Just then, I heard another sound of horses' hooves behind me.

This time, before I could look back, I felt a tightness in my chest, and the sound of horses' hooves seemed to trample on my heart, breaking my breath step by step.

I stood quietly, took a deep breath, and slowly turned back.

A group of men and horses came out of the woods.

Not surprisingly, I saw the familiar figure, dressed in white, riding on a snow-white high-headed horse, blown by the wind, his clothes fluttering, his horse's mane flying, and it looked like he was one and shining in the sun.

Probably, it was also because of the sunlight that I could only see his silhouette, but not the expression on his face at the moment.

But beside him, a horse slowly came out, and I could see it clearly.

It was an old man in a fancy suit.

I almost didn't carefully identify his facial features, nor did I look at Yan Zicong and Yan Ruoyu who came out from behind him, I had already decided that the person in front of me was my fifth uncle - Yan Gang!

Seeing several of them riding horses in unison, standing in front of me, for a moment gave people the illusion that there was a high wall blocking in front of me, but after a while I realized that it was not my illusion, they were carrying a large number of men and horses behind them, filling all the gaps in the woods, no wonder it looked like a wall.

The comers are not good.

These four words floated in my heart, and a warm smile appeared on my face, and I said to the old man, "Uncle!"

The old man was also squinting at me, but when he heard me call him, he also smiled on his face, and said affectionately: "Come and let me see, let me see!"

As soon as I took a step, I felt a tingling pain in my ankle.

There were no crutches, and sure enough, I was a little reluctant to walk.

But I didn't say anything, gritted my teeth and kept smiling until I walked in front of Yan Gang, he bent down from the horse, reached out and grabbed my hand, and patted affectionately: "Look, this is the eldest lady of our Yan family, my niece and granddaughter!"

"Uncle," I shouted affectionately again, "I haven't seen you for so long, but my uncle still remembers me." ”

"How can you not remember. ”

As he spoke, he looked at me, and I saw that the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles with a smile, and every wrinkle seemed to overflow with a smile: "Tsk, you and your father are really carved out of the same mold, especially this nose and this mouth, I see you just like I see your father." ”

"Really, uncle?"

"Of course it's true, when you were just born, my uncle hugged you, and you were so big at that time, so big," he said, gesturing with both hands, and then looked at me with a smile: "At that time, I knew that when you grew up in the future, you would definitely be a great beauty, so let your grandfather treat you well, and don't marry you casually." ”

"Uncle is really ......"

I was laughing with him as I felt a chill in my back, like a cold wind blowing from my heart.

Compared with other people, in fact, the one I am most afraid of when I go back to Yan's house is Xue Qian, although she is cold every time she meets, and even moves on me, but she is simple-minded, like a child, all the joys, sorrows and sorrows are written on her face, and I see it in my eyes, but the old man in front of me is different, I clearly know the purpose of his coming this time, but when I meet, he is affectionate and emotional, completely like a kind look of an elder who has not been seen for many years, if you don't pay attention to it, you will probably really be blinded and enveloped by his appearance。

It's just that no matter how affectionate he is to me, he is standing next to Pei Yuanxiu.

Although I couldn't see his expression, I couldn't be more sensitive to the calm aura on his body.

I cheered up and smiled at Yan Gang: "Fifth uncle, don't mention what happened when you were a child." ”

"How can I not mention it," he smiled kindly, looking down at me, this time I finally saw his appearance clearly, this person is the youngest brother of his generation, nearly ten years younger than my grandfather, probably less than seventy this year, because of proper maintenance, it seems to be in good spirits, a spirit in the prime of life, he smiled and said: "People say that three years old is set to be eighty, since childhood, I can see that you are a girl, and you will be blessed in the future, so those young masters of Tusi came to propose to you, I asked your grandfather to push it off." ”

“……”

"Now, girl, shouldn't you be grateful to your uncle? ”

“……”

I still had a smile on my face, and I didn't say a word, but my heart throbbed.

He said this at this time - what did he mean?

As if sensing my eyes flickering, and my heart was a little palpitating, Yan Gang rode on the horse and laughed, and said: "Girl, if you married those young masters of the Tusi family, where do you have today's scenery, how can you look forward to being able to be a mother in the future-"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sound of footsteps behind me.

Old Man Ma's voice sounded: "Fifth Master, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
