The two supported each other all the way to Komatsu's house, saying that they were supporting each other, Komatsu froze in the cold river, and his whole body was wet, and at this moment the wind blew, his hands and feet were a little frozen, and he couldn't move. Thanks to Ye Jianan, who looked wrong in the back, he hurriedly helped him with his only remaining right hand. The two walked all the way to Komatsu's house, Ye Jianan saw that Komatsu's lips were purple and pale, so he hurriedly went to the stove to make a fire, the two sat around the stove, Komatsu's hands and feet were frozen and couldn't bend, Ye Jianan helped Komatsu take off his clothes, and other clothes in his house were either too short or too thin, Ye Jianan sighed secretly, and simply brought a quilt and wrapped it around Komatsu.

After such a toss, the two of them were also hungry and growled, Ye Jianan found a few sweet potatoes from the stove room and threw them into the fire, the two sat around the stove, the fire flickered, Zhao Xiaosong drank a few sips of the soju handed over by Ye Jianan, only to feel a burst of warmth spread from the stomach.

He looked up at Ye Jianan, only to see Ye Jianan's calm face, expressionless, his right hand pinched his left hand, and he turned and pulled, only to hear a few clicks, the position of the dislocation of his left hand had been reset, and then Ye Jianan picked two relatively flat wooden blocks, and tore a few cloth belts from the hem of his underwear, fixed his left hand, and wrapped it around a few times. Ye Jianan saw Zhao Xiaosong staring at him intently, he smiled, "What? Is your body still cold? ”

Zhao Xiaosong shook his head, and then seemed to remember something, with a hint of doubt, he asked softly, "Ye, Brother Ye, why did you come back to save me, aren't you already gone?" At that time, Ye Jianan had indeed gone away, at that time Ye Jianan also left a thought, after walking away, he turned back, he stood quietly in the woods, wanted to see if Xiao Song would take revenge on Zhao Fugui, saw Xiao Song pick up the wooden stick, and hit Zhao Fugui, he smiled slightly in his heart, was about to leave, but suddenly heard Zhao Fugui scream, when he turned his head to look, but it was a change of life, Zhao Xiaosong suddenly fell into the river, Zhao Fugui took the wooden stick and beat it down.

He was secretly anxious in his heart, and he didn't make a move, just watched Zhao Xiaosong struggling in the river, in the midst of the tribulation, he saw his heart, he sighed slightly, and then saw that Zhao Fugui had been making a dead hand, and seeing that Zhao Xiaosong couldn't hold on, he hurriedly ran out, pushed Zhao Fugui away, sank his wrist, and immediately grabbed Zhao Xiaosong's arm. This saved Zhao Xiaosong's life at an urgent moment.

Hearing Zhao Xiaosong ask this, Ye Jianan smiled lightly, didn't answer, and asked, "Didn't you say that revenge needs to be avenged with your own hands, and taking advantage of people's danger is not what the eldest husband did?" That being the case, why did you go to fight Zhao Fugui again? Xiao Song heard Ye Jianan ask, he raised his head and looked at Ye Jianan, his eyes were blazing, "I used to think that I was too ideal, a scoundrel like Zhao Fugui, if you talk to him about a gentleman's demeanor, you will not only harm yourself, but also others, such as Sister Yuyin, and your brother Ye." ”

He looked at Ye Jianan, his eyes didn't blink, and he said firmly, "In the future, I don't want to pay attention to any manly husband, if I can't even protect myself, and even harm others, what's the use of such a manly husband." Humph, phew! ”

Ye Jianan was stunned, he mentioned this, his original intention was nothing more than to remind Xiao Song that he couldn't blindly treat everyone as a gentleman, like a villain, such as a ruffian like Zhao Fugui, he should be treated in other ways, just look at Xiao Song's resolute expression at this moment, and there was a great deal of resentment and pain in his eyebrows, Ye Jianan sighed secretly in his heart, and he didn't want to argue with Zhao Xiaosong on this issue, he picked up a piece of firewood, took out a few sweet potatoes from the fire, picked one, and handed it to Zhao Xiaosong. The two were silent for a while, and in the firelight, Zhao Xiaosong's eyes kept flickering, and suddenly, he said softly, "Brother Ye, can you teach me martial arts?" Ye Jianan looked up at Zhao Xiaosong, and seeing that he had been looking at him without blinking his eyes, he asked, "Why do you want to practice martial arts?" ”

Zhao Xiaosonghuo threw away the sweet potato he was eating, stood up, and the quilt that was originally wrapped around his body also slipped down, he was only wearing a thin undershirt, and his expression was fierce in the warm and broken stove reflected by the firelight, "I want to be stronger, I want to be strong, so that they don't dare to bully me again." ”

Ye Jianan looked up at Zhao Xiaosong, and he smiled, "Is this the only reason?" Xiao Song was stunned, frowned, did not speak, obviously fell into contemplation, Ye Jianan did not make a sound, just looked at him quietly, for a while, the room was silent, only the firewood burning in the fire from time to time made the sound of "peeling", for a long time, only to hear Ye Jianan's faint voice sounded, "Once, or not long ago, I was also like Zhao Fugui, bullying and looting, there is nothing not to do." ”

Ye Jianan looked at Xiao Song's suddenly widened eyes, smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued, "At that time, I had a good background and high martial arts, so I was often the only one who bullied others, and those who were bullied by me didn't dare to sue and expose me because of the power of my family, so year after year, I just came over." Until later, "Zhao Xiaosong had been listening to Ye Jianan quietly, and suddenly found that Ye Jianan's voice seemed to tremble slightly, he looked up at Ye Jianan, but saw Ye Jianan continue expressionlessly, "Until later, someone couldn't stand it anymore, so he set a trap for me and let me be kicked out of the family." ”

Ye Jianan paused slightly, reached out and picked up the branch on the side, stirred the sweet potato in the fire a few times, and continued, "After I came out, I didn't know where to go, so I wandered around, and then by mistake, I didn't know each other, and I met a group of brothers. In those days, a group of us brothers were together all day and night, eating together, sleeping together, practicing martial arts together, and fighting and grabbing territory together. It wasn't until later that one of them, for the sake of his position, betrayed me, and took pity on my good brothers, and in order to protect me, they died tragically under the knife of their own brothers. ”

Ye Jianan was expressionless, and said flatly, as if he was not talking about his own business. "And I, too, was seriously injured because of this, at that time, with a hope of one in 10,000, I finally escaped and came to Peach Blossom Village. Therefore, I met Granny Gu, and fortunately I was able to survive because of Granny Gu's life-saving grace. ”

Ye Jianan said lightly, his calm face was more like saying something that had nothing to do with himself in the flickering light of the fire, Xiao Song listened to Ye Jianan's words, looked at the man in front of him who was holding a wooden board in his left hand and teasing sweet potatoes in the fire with his right hand, his heart suddenly surged like a wave, looking at the calm that Ye Jianan said, in fact, there are many unknown thrilling and bloody crying songs, first framed by his peers, and then betrayed by his brothers, and his life is dying and on the verge of a line. Zhao Xiaosong looked at the man with a flat face in front of him, and was suddenly a little speechless.

But I heard Ye Jianan continue, "I used to live a chaotic life, I had whatever I wanted, money, power, magic weapons, for ordinary people, it may be something that I want to fight for all my life, but for me, I don't care about these at all, and I don't care." Even if it is framed and betrayed, what does it matter if it is easily available, no matter how sad it is. The corners of Ye Jianan's mouth glanced slightly, and said disdainfully.

In the midst of the fire, a cluster of sparks burst out. Ye Jianan's voice also suddenly became low, "However, until my brother died under his brother's knife in order to save me, until Yuyin fell into the river and his life was in danger, I knew that in our lives, there are always some people or things that we need to protect even if we use our lives." He raised his head, his eyes shining brightly, "This is my answer." He looked at Zhao Xiaosong and asked softly, "What about you?" ”

When Ye Jianan left, Xiao Song still didn't answer, he just sat like that, without making a sound, and didn't add firewood, until the firewood burned out, he sat next to a pile of ashes, and never moved a minute, for a long time, he could only whisper in a voice that he could hear, "I also want to protect the people I want to protect and not be hurt again, and I also want to use my life to protect them from being hurt at all." ”

The next morning, Ye Jianan got up as usual to practice martial arts, and when he opened the door, he found that Zhao Xiaosong was already standing in the courtyard, and when he saw Ye Jianan, Xiao Song knelt down, "Brother Ye, can you teach me martial arts?" Ye Jianan stared at Komatsu for a long time before saying, "Okay, as long as you remember why you want to practice martial arts!" ”

From that day on, Zhao Xiaosong followed Ye Jianan to practice martial arts every morning when it was bright, and everyone in Peach Blossom Village was surprised to find that Zhao Xiaosong's lonely and cold eyes seemed to have a trace of sunshine-like warmth.

Zhao Xiaosong went out every morning before dawn and waited in front of Ye Jianan's door, and at the same time, since Granny Gu knew that Xiaosong came to practice martial arts every day, she tried her best to keep Zhao Xiaosong to eat, Zhao Xiaosong couldn't refuse, but also for the convenience of practicing martial arts, in addition to sleeping at night, three meals a day at other times were also eaten and lived at Granny Gu's house, Granny Gu had to take care of Yuyin, and Ye Jianan herself was not familiar with this farm work, but fortunately, as soon as Zhao Xiaosong came, he immediately took over most of the work, which made Ye Jianan a lot easier. In addition, Qin Yuyin is also getting better day by day, and she can get out of bed and walk. Although Zhao Xiaosong said that he was lonely and cold, he did not resist Qin Yuyin and Ye Jianan, who connected to save him, so that it was rare for Granny Gu's originally deserted home to have a lively scene.

"Hands higher! The waist is straight! Yes, punch hard! Early in the morning of this day, Ye Jianan and Zhao Xiaosong were practicing one by one, when suddenly Qin Yuyin ran in from outside with red eyes, threw herself into Ye Jianan's arms, and cried loudly. Ye Jianan was defenseless for a while, looking at Qin Yuyin, who was crying in his arms, he was a little at a loss for a while, and he didn't know how to put his two hands.

Qin Yuyin cried for a while, and gradually stopped crying, she lowered her head, and hugged Ye Jianan like this, without saying a word. Ye Jianan asked softly, "Yuyin, what's wrong, is someone bullying you, you tell me, I'll beat him." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Jianan's voice fell, Qin Yuyin was "Wow!" again. With a cry, Ye Jianan suddenly panicked, and when he was at a loss, he heard Qin Yuyin's sobbing voice faintly, "I don't want to marry Brother Rushan!" Ye Jianan was taken aback and asked, "Has his family come to propose?" Qin Yuyin nodded lightly, looked up at Ye Jianan, two clear tears slid down his face, and his thin fragrant shoulders shrugged, "I only found out when I went back last night, my mother, she agreed." After that, he began to sobble again, and Zhao Xiaosong shouted loudly on the side, "How is it possible, Zhao Rushan, he, he, how can he match, Sister Yuyin, you can't marry Zhao Rushan." ”

Qin Yuyin's beautiful eyes lit up, and she asked softly, "Xiao Song, why do you think I can't marry him?" Xiao Song wiped the sweat stains that were faintly oozing from his forehead and said, "Sister Yuyin, have you forgotten that you met Zhao Fugui by the river that day?" Zhao Rushan saw Zhao Fugui, just like a mouse seeing a cat, he could watch you being bullied by Zhao Fugui and couldn't hold back a sound, he could watch you fall into the river and do nothing, if it wasn't for Brother Ye, he would go to Huangquan to propose to you at this moment. Such a timid and cowardly person, Sister Yin, you can't marry him. ”

Qin Yuyin heard Zhao Xiaosong's words, and for some reason, her originally white face turned slightly pink, and she glanced at Ye Jianan quickly, "But, but my mother agreed." "The people in Peach Blossom Village are simple, but all men and women are engaged, all obey the orders of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker are as long as the orders of the parents are decided, the children can not have objections. Xiao Song was silent for a long time, but he couldn't speak, and suddenly he said, "Otherwise, you will talk to your mother again?" ”

Qin Yuyin shook her head sadly and said, "It's useless, I told her many times last night, but she just didn't agree." The three of them were silent for a while, and suddenly Xiao Song said loudly, "Sister Yuyin, then talk to your mother-in-law, your mother-in-law loves you so much, if you don't want to, she will definitely help you, let your mother-in-law tell your mother, so your mother can't help it." Qin Yuyin smiled, "Yes, how did I forget grandma, I told grandma, grandma will definitely help me." She smiled and clapped her hands, and then suddenly realized that she was still in Ye Jianan's arms, and the little girl's fair face was like a boiled red crab in an instant.

Qin Yuyin quickly ran into the door to find Granny Gu, Ye Jianan and Zhao Xiaosong began to practice martial arts again, but not long after, they heard a cry in the room, Ye Jianan walked a few steps quickly, but saw Qin Yuyin covering his mouth with his right hand, and rushed out with tears in his eyes. When she saw Ye Jianan and Zhao Xiaosong, she cried loudly, "Grandma doesn't hurt me anymore, she doesn't love me anymore, she also wants me to marry Brother Rushan." I don't want it, I hate grandma. Seeing that Ye Jianan and Zhao Xiaosong didn't speak, Qin Yuyin stomped his feet again and again, and said angrily, "I hate you too!" With that, he turned around and rushed into her boudoir again, only to hear "Bang! The door slammed shut.

Even in the evening, Qin Yuyin refused to eat, no matter how many people knocked on the door, they still wouldn't open the door, Granny Gu, Ye Jianan, Zhao Xiaosong, when the three of them were at a loss, Ye Jianan suddenly said, "Yuyin likes to eat grilled fish, go, Xiaosong, let's go catch fish." When Ye Jianan came back, Xiao Song went home by himself because he wanted to go back to his own house, and Ye Jianan came back with a few carp and was about to walk into the door when a strange woman's voice suddenly sounded in the room. Mother, you have to listen to me this time, we can't always get used to the sound of rain, you see that she is now more and more without me as a mother. ”

Ye Jianan nodded in his heart, it turned out that Yuyin's mother was here. He stretched out his hand and was about to knock on the door, but he heard Granny Gu say, "Here are the two of us, and we don't speak any foreign words, do you agree to this family affair, is it just to prevent Yuyin and Canaan from being together?" Ye Jianan was startled, and the hand he was stretching out slowly put down, he held his breath and listened quietly.

"Yes!" Qin's mother said, "Mother, you don't know, since the people from the other village came, this wild girl ran to you whenever she was free, and in the past, it was at most three or four days to come to you once, but now you see, you have to come three or four times a day." ”

Granny Gu let out a long sigh and said softly, "Pity Yuyin, this kid, it's a pity." Qin's mother didn't follow the way, "Mother, what do you say, is it not pitiful and pity to let Yuyin be with that stranger?" Mother, don't you know that the person you took in is a person in the rivers and lakes, living that kind of life of licking blood from the knife and fighting and killing all day long, did you let Yuyin follow that person to live that kind of life? Although Rushan is a little honest, but honest is also honest, I think, he doesn't dare to bully our family Yuyin. Ye Jianan held his breath quietly, for fear that a gentle exhalation would surprise the two people in the house, he was carrying a fish in his left hand, and his right hand was caressing the shocking scar on his body, and slowly retreated step by step.

That night, Qin Yuyin was pulled home from Granny Gu's house by Qin's mother, Ye Jianan sat quietly on the roof of the house, looking at Qin Yuyin, who was crying like pear blossoms with rain, he lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and the miserable white moonlight shone on his silent shadow, bringing a burst of desolation. As the days passed, the weather gradually warmed up, and the snow on the mountains that surrounded Peach Blossom Village was blocked by heavy snow, and the snow on the mountains gradually melted. And from that day on, Qin Yuyin rarely came to her grandmother's house again.
