Leping Town.

Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing came to an old residential area. Looking at the situation of those houses, I am afraid that it has been thirty or forty years old, and the surrounding environment is not very good.

And this is where Ning Yuejing lived with her mother for several years.

When I came back again, everything didn't seem to have changed much, or the houses were a little more dilapidated than before.

Ning Yuejing walked in front and led Yin Xiu into this residential area, while telling Yin Xiu some trivial and interesting things when she lived here with her mother when she was a child.

With a smile on his face, Yin Xiu quietly listened to Ning Yuejing's somewhat rambling description of her childhood life, describing what was good and bad, happy and sad......

From Ning Yuejing's past chatter, Yin Xiu felt that he seemed to know more about Xiao Jing.

"Master, here it is. My mom and I used to live in this building, and we lived on the third floor. There is only one room and a small living room. ”

Ning Yuejing stopped in front of an old small building, looked up at the dilapidated glass and wooden window on the third floor, and said to Yin Xiu.

"At that time, I was young, and my mother had to go out to work during the day to earn money, so I played at home by myself. I remember that every evening I would find a stool and move it to the window, and then I would stand on the stool and lie on the window and look downstairs, waiting for my mother to come back from work......"

It can be heard in her words that Ning Yuejing deeply misses and cherishes that time in her childhood.

She looked up at the familiar window on the third floor, and her eyes faintly showed a little trance, as if she saw her childhood self lying on the windowsill again, looking down.

"Hmm."

Yin Xiu replied softly, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the old windowsill on the third floor, and said softly: "Do you want to go up and have a look?" The room on the third floor didn't seem to be occupied. ”

"Okay."

Ning Yuejing didn't want to respond.

There are not many people in this old residential area, and most of the houses are unused and abandoned. It is clear that most of the original residents have moved away.

In the six-story building in front of Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing, there are still people living in it, and there are only four or five households. The rest of the rooms have been left unused.

Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing walked up to the third floor. The door of the room was locked, Yin Xiu directly used his spiritual sense to open the lock, and pushed the door in with Ning Yuejing......

The room was a little dim, and the corners were covered with broken cobwebs. The few broken tables and chairs in the living room were covered in dust.

Ning Yuejing looked at the dusty broken tables and chairs and said, "Master." That table, I used to eat at that table when I used to eat with my mother. And the wooden couch on which I used to sit and watch TV with my mom every night when I was a kid. ”

"At that time, my mother would be doing something else on the sidelines. In the winter, I would sit there knitting sweaters for me, and I would often stand on it, lie on my mother's back, and hold my mother and talk......"

Although it was many years ago, Ning Yuejing's memory of these was obviously still very clear and profound. Even after so many years, it has not been forgotten.

Ning Yuejing kept talking to Yin Xiu about the things in this house. Talking about her childhood when she lived here with her mother.

All this seems to be said to Yin Xiu and to herself.

Returning here after many years, Ning Yuejing, who had always been cold and introverted, seemed to talk a lot all of a sudden, as if she had endless words.

When she was talking about those childhood memories, her mood seemed to be more and more relaxed, and her delicate face gradually bloomed with the most innocent, unstained, like a white snow lotus.

This moment of her. It seems to have returned to the innocent childhood, and every smile and smile comes from the heart. It comes from the original self and pure goodness in human nature.

From Ning Yuejing's body at this moment, there is no longer the slightest hint of indifference and coldness that Yin Xiu had when he first met her, full of distance from everything, and even hostile indifference, as if he had returned to the most innocent childhood, everything was positive, everything was so beautiful.

"Master. Come on! I didn't think this wooden bed was still there. I used to sleep in this bed with my mother, and every day before going to bed, my mother would always play with me in bed for a while, or tell me stories and sing songs......"

Ning Yuejing pulled Yin Xiu into the dimly lit room.

Although this room also looks shabby. There were broken cobwebs and thick ashes everywhere, but in Ning Yuejing's eyes, these worn-out traces obviously did not exist.

All she saw in her eyes was the happiness and beauty of her childhood memories with her mother, full of happy times......

When leaving the old building with Xiao Jing, Yin Xiu obviously felt some changes in Xiao Jing. It was as if something had been put down in her heart, and her whole breath became much lighter.

When leaving, Yin Xiu also noticed that Xiao Jing had turned her head and glanced deeply at the windowsill on the third floor, as if she was saying goodbye to the past, or she had deeply engraved all the good things in the past in the depths of her heart, and those bad ones were abandoned by her.

The most significant change was that after Yin Xiu took her out of the old residential area, Yin Xiu found that the expression on Xiao Jing's face was much softer than before.

The first feeling is no longer that kind of 'cold' and unapproachable feeling, but more like a gentle and elegant girl next door.

Yin Xiu was very clearly aware of these subtle changes in Xiao Jing, but he didn't say anything, just hugged Xiao Jing's shoulders lightly, and walked around, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, revealing a faint smile.

This kind of transformation of Xiaojing is exactly what he has always wanted to see, and it is also what he has been working hard for. Xiaojing's ability to step out of the shadow of her past experience is of great benefit to her future.

also made Yin Xiu feel at ease with her in his heart.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when I walked out of the old neighborhood. Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing didn't plan to return to Yinhai in such a hurry, they still planned to stay here for a few days.

However, Leping is only a border town, and there are no high-end hotels in the town to stay. Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing could only find a small inn with a decent environment.

……

Kyoto.

After Xiao Rui returned to the military base with Xu Zhongkang and Xiao Min, he applied for leave under the pretext of a gunshot wound in his shoulder. Immediately after that, he returned to his home in Kyoto.

He couldn't wait to find out what Yin Xiu's origin was and what kind of relationship he had with the Xiao family.

Yes. As soon as he returned to Kyoto, although it was already night, Xiao Rui still ran to the compound where his grandfather Xiao Jianjun lived as soon as possible.

"Grandpa, are you free now? There's something I'd like to ask you. As soon as he entered the house, as soon as he saw his grandfather, Xiao Rui couldn't wait to ask.

Originally sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. Xiao Jianjun, who was drinking tea, was slightly stunned when he heard this, looked up at Xiao Rui in surprise, and asked, "What, what's so important?" As soon as I sat down, I couldn't help but ask me? ”

Xiao Rui hurriedly said: "Grandpa, this matter is very important. If I don't ask clearly, my heart will always be like a cat tickling, and I can't calm down. ”

This made Xiao Jianjun more curious, for his grandson. He still knows a lot.

Although sometimes his temperament is more direct, but on the whole he is still a very calm person, and he can make him say this impatiently, it seems that the thing he wants to ask should be unusual.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jianjun immediately put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Xiao Rui, and said, "Okay, what do you want to ask?" Then you just ask. ”

Xiao Rui didn't speak immediately, but glanced up at the aunt who was still busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Then he said, "Grandpa, this matter is more important, let's go to your room and talk about it." ”

Well?

Xiao Jianjun suddenly became even more curious, what is the confidential and urgent matter, and he is still worried about being heard by others, so he needs to keep it so secret?

Xiao Jianjun nodded lightly before he could think about it. He replied, "Okay." Then go to my room and say. ”

After saying that, he got up and walked upstairs. Xiao Rui also hurriedly followed.

After a while, the two came to Xiao Jianjun's study.

"Okay, what the hell is going on, let's talk about it." Xiao Jianjun asked.

Xiao Rui took a deep breath and spoke slowly. Tentatively asked, "Grandpa, I want to ask...... The person who came back to give you a 'cure' and helped you get rid of the Gu worms that had been dormant in your body for many years has any relationship with our family? ”

When Xiao Jianjun heard this, he was stunned.

Immediately, he looked up at Xiao Rui suddenly, a gleam burst out of his eyes, and his expression suddenly became serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where did you hear about something?" Why did you come to me and ask me about this? ”

Regarding Yin Xiu's identity, it is also a secret in the Xiao family, and only a few second generations of the Xiao family who were in the room that day, as well as Zhou Ting, knew about it.

Regarding Yin Xiu's identity, Xiao Jianjun had already strictly ordered several people who knew about it to prohibit mentioning it to others.

Now Xiao Rui suddenly came to ask him about it, which naturally made Xiao Jianjun react strongly, and even asked Xiao Rui in a stern tone.

And Xiao Rui, seeing his grandfather's reaction, although he was a little confused, he didn't quite understand why his grandfather reacted so strongly, and he directly asked himself.

However, he also understood what the relationship between the person in his feelings and the Xiao family really was. In addition, looking at Grandpa's reaction, I'm afraid this matter will not be so simple.

"Grandpa, in this way, that person really has something to do with our family? Who the hell is he? Xiao Rui couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Jianjun glanced at him, ignored his inquiry, and said coldly: "You tell me immediately, who told you that?" Isn't it your dad? Or did Ting'er tell you something? ”

Xiao Jianjun first suspected Xiao Rui's fathers, Xiao Jinghai and Zhou Ting. Among all the insiders in the entire Xiao family, it is indeed these two people who are the most likely to reveal to Xiao Rui.

After all, Xiao Jinghai is Xiao Rui's father, and Zhou Ting is the only third-generation junior among the Xiao family's insiders. (To be continued......)
