The next morning, the sky was still hazy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the wide alley where Xu's mansion was located, a sudden sound of galloping horses shattered the silence of the morning dawn.

But a man rode a fast horse, and after a few crisp sounds, he swept through the alley, stepped onto the street, and galloped in the direction of the port.

At this moment, the open door of the Xu Mansion has not yet been closed.

Lin Xinyin stood in the front yard, looked at the fast horse that disappeared without a trace in an instant, and turned back to Ah Hai and thanked him: "Brother Hai, I'm really tired of you......" After she and Su Ruoyun swam through the garden last night, she asked the other party to help write a letter to be sent to Ouyang's house in Fuzhou, mentioning the general situation. And in the early morning, she got up early for the first time because of her heavy heart, and walked around half a circle to the front yard with nothing to do, and happened to see Ah Hai who was pruning flowers and trees. As soon as she mentioned her idea, she immediately summoned a sturdy man to act as she wished, and she was really grateful for the speed with which it was implemented.

"It's okay, it's okay." Ah Hai waved his hand and reminded: "However, it will take time for this message to go back and forth, and Ah Mei has to be a little patient." ”

"Oh, as long as there's news over there. Maybe we'll be leaving for Fuzhou soon. Lin Xinyin didn't have the heart to wait for good news here. Because she was thinking that she might be able to move forward with Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun in the next two days, she only needed Ling Yueyuan to know that she was waiting for her in Fuzhou.

"Is Brother Ryo going too?" Ah Hai asked.

"A Thousand Miles...... Should not go. I remember he said he was going back to Guanzhong. Lin Xinyin replied.

"yes. After all, you have to go back to your hometown no matter what. Ah Hai sighed very emotionally: "It's a pity that Brother Dong is still in Qingyuan, and if he comes back in a few days, there will be fewer days to get together." I think they got together like an adventure back then, and they were quite sad when they parted! And this reunion after a few years is only a few days, and I don't know when the next goodbye will be. ”

Lin Xinyin's mood also rippled a little when she heard it. Think about it, isn't it an adventure between himself and Liu Qianli? If it weren't for the other party to protect each other all the way, maybe it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to reunite with Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun here. However, this relationship may be broken in a few days. As for the next goodbye? She was not hopeful.

……

After thanking Ah Hai repeatedly, Lin Xinyin returned to Xiyuan.

After walking around the winding path, she found that she had actually gone back to the guest room where Ye Youyou was staying. She remembered that after saying goodbye to Su Ruoyun last night, she went directly back to her residence, and she didn't return to say goodbye to Ye Youyou. It's true that I wasn't in a good mood last night, and I seem to be a little too angry, so it's better to apologize?

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xinyin approached the guest room and knocked on the door a few times.

Faintly, it seemed that a rhythmic voice was heard from the room: "Hey...... Yo...... Hey ......"

However, the voice seemed to be interrupted by an unexpected knock on the door, and Ye Youyou's question came.

"Who?"

"It's my ......," Lin Xinyin responded.

"Oh, Xiaoyin. Come in, the door is not closed. ”

Lin Xinyin pushed open the door and stepped into the house, and saw Ye Youyou lying on his back on the bed, his raised left leg bending and stretching and shaking.

Is this doing rehab training? Lin Xinyin heard Ye Youyou's rhythmic "hehe" again, which matched the movements of his left leg.

It seems that this demon girl has really been hurt quite a bit. Lin Xinyin asked a little guiltily, "Do you want me to help do something...... ”

"Conscience has been found." Ye Youyou's eyes were still staring at the ceiling, but the movement of his left leg stopped.

"You name it." Lin Xinyin didn't defend it anymore.

"Okay, then you come over ......" Ye Youyou changed his posture and looked at Lin Xinyin with a smile.

Lin Xinyin shivered. She looked around, but she didn't see Su Ruoyun, so she asked, "What about Ruoyun?" ”

She waited a little longer to arrive. How did Xiaoyin get up so early? It seems like I've gotten you up several times before. Ye Youyou barely half-propped himself up and smiled: "Okay, come here, I won't make it ...... bad."

Lin Xinyin didn't feel the slightest sense of relief. But she still approached: "What should I do?" ”

"Well, let's sit on the edge of the bed first." Ye Youyou watched Lin Xinyin reluctantly sit down according to her words, then moved the injured left leg towards Lin Xinyin, and then said: "I'll teach you the technique of dredging the meridians, you can help me hurt my leg." ”

"Well, you say." Lin Xinyin listened to the technique that seemed to be very famous, and suddenly became interested.

"Ah, first hold down the acupuncture points on this side with two fingers and rub them, and then draw downward...... At this point, it's the key, you have to beat it hard......" Ye Youyou taught Lin Xinyin by hand.

"So?" Lin Xinyin thrashed gently, but she always felt like it was just an ordinary massage......?

"No, keep ...... hard"

"So?!"

"Push harder!"

"That's !!???"

"Wow!"

"Huh? Overexerted? ”

"No, it's much more comfortable......"

“…… You're a masochist......"

It seemed that after beating for a long time, Lin Xinyin felt a little tired, but seeing that Ye Youyou didn't mean to stop, she couldn't help asking, "How long will it take?" ”

"At least three or four days, one hour in the morning, noon and evening......," Ye Youyou's expression was very enjoyable.

"What? Three or four days in a row? Lin Xinyin was shocked: Wouldn't it be a few days before she left?

"Don't want to? Hmph...... Ye Youyou immediately changed into a pitiful crying tone: "Just now, I obviously said that I wanted to help me...... I am so badly injured for you...... You just let down my sister and me......"

"How many days is it really going to get better? Does this really work? Didn't lie to me? Lin Xinyin couldn't bear it, but she couldn't believe Ye Youyou.

"The conscience of heaven and earth! Also, I wanted to leave early. Ye Youyou said very seriously.

"Okay......" Lin Xinyin sighed.

Isn't it just three or four days? I'm thrashing and pounding!

……

The fourth day of April, today, the first day.

“…… It's very tiring. ”

"Hold on! Little Tone! I'll fan you! Whew......huhu"

“…… It's cold! ”

"Then I'll help you deliver water! Thirsty, right? Hey...... Fiber Cord! ”

"Ahh You've splashed me all over the water! Hey? When did Ruoyun come? What the? Do you want to help me? That's great...... Yes? After only a few pounds, you don't have the strength? Forget it, I'll do it......"

……

The fifth day of the first month of April, the next day.

"Xiaoyin, why are you getting softer and softer?"

"I don't have the strength! I pounded all day yesterday! My waist is sore! Hands hurt again! I can't sleep when I go back! ”

"Then don't leave tonight, just stay, come, I'll lay you a quilt first......"

"No!!!!"

……

The sixth day of the fourth month, the third day.

"Oh, Xiaoyin, your haggard face like a blank sheet of paper......"

"You're looking, I'm gone......"

"Xiaoyin."

"What? Don't be so scary all of a sudden! ”

"Tell me something, don't you be angry?"

“…… You speak first. ”

"I think I'm hurting my right leg."

"You're playing with me!"

……

The seventh day of the fourth month of April.

"Xiaoyin, are you still alive?"

"Ok! What do you think?! Now whether it is the left leg, the right leg, or the left hand and the right hand, is it much better?! ”

"It's so much better, maybe I'll be able to fly tomorrow night! Xiaoyin is really a miracle doctor, come, kiss one as a reward......"

"It's dead!"

"Hey!"

“…… Wait a minute. When did you get better? ”

"Oh? I want to think about it...... It looks like it was last night. ”

"Then you still let me beat me for a long time today!"

"Aren't you addicted to thrashing?"

……

Lin Xinyin floated out of Ye Youyou's room like a ghost, and Fang Jue was already in the prime of daylight at this moment. She has seriously overdrawn her physical strength in the past few days, and now that Ye Youyou's body has recovered ninety percent, she herself has become a person who urgently needs to recuperate. She staggered away a few steps, and seemed to hear the words of "gratitude" from the room slowly, but she only felt a secret tremble.

This enchantress is a beautiful snake! I shouldn't be the sympathetic farmer!

She only wanted to hurry back to her room and rest so that she could recuperate, but when she stepped into the vaulted corridor that meandered past the unnamed lake, she saw a young girl hurrying across the opposite side.

Who? She was slightly stunned, but soon recognized that it was Cuiying. The girl walked like a leaping bird, and in a moment she ran from the end of the long winding corridor to the front of her.

"Sister!" After Cuiying shouted at Lin Xinyin very happily, she came to her side and naturally grabbed her arm with both hands: "Great, I've been looking for my sister for a long time!" ”

"Huh? Emerald Oriole looking for me? Can I help you? Lin Xinyin was not used to being so close to Cuiying, she wondered if it would be better to withdraw her hand, but the other party seemed to be extremely tight, making it difficult for her to get out. Could it be that this girl is afraid that she will not be able to fly?

"That's the case, my wife wants to go out for a walk with my sister today, so that my wife can fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and second, I can relieve my sister's boredom, okay?" Cui Ying said what she meant, but she laughed and picked up Lin Xinyin and wanted to go to the front yard, her inquiry seemed to be more of an invitation that could not be refused.

"Ah...... Okay, good ......" Lin Xinyin wanted to go back to the room to make up for sleep, but she couldn't get rid of the enthusiastic Cuiying in front of her. However, she remembered that she might soon be leaving for Fuzhou, so it would be good to take this opportunity to go to the streets to buy some travel supplies.

After walking for a while, perhaps sensing Lin Xinyin's intentional or unintentional withdrawal of her hands, and having achieved the purpose of inviting people, Cuiying quietly let go of Lin Xinyin and turned to another question: "By the way, sister these days...... Why are they all there, in other people's rooms? ”

"Oh, that's actually someone I know, I never thought we'd meet here, it's a miracle." Lin Xinyin kept a short distance from Cuiying slightly, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"Huh?!? Is it?! Cui Ying's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief: "It's really a coincidence, what a coincidence!" Then, as if she understood something, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that they are all friends of my sister...... I thought it was some kind of weirdo, I'm sorry. ”

"Well, in fact, they are all good people, and they can talk and laugh." Lin Xinyin remembered that when she first came to Xu's Mansion, Cuiying mentioned that there was a mysterious guest living in a certain wing, and she suddenly felt a little funny.

"Oh ......! It's no wonder that when I pass by the neighborhood once in a while, I still hear the sound of laughter coming from inside! Cui Ying remembered the different sounds she heard when she passed there for a few days, and thought that something strange was going on inside, so she just wanted to run away quickly, and now she suddenly realized: "It turns out that they didn't talk much at first, and their faces were very ugly, probably because they were not feeling well......

"Well, that's a lot better now. Maybe it will soon be alive again......" Lin Xinyin thought that since Ye Youyou had almost recovered, the day of leaving the Xu Mansion was also approaching, so she said to Cuiying, who had been quite thoughtful in her manners for several days: "We should also leave Yuepu soon, Cuiying, thank you for taking care of them for the past few days." ”

"Huh? Is my sister going away too? It's really fast......" Cui Ying pouted, looking very reluctant: "Then, then you should have a good tour of Yuepu City today!" Otherwise, there will be no chance! ”

"Good. Good. Lin Xinyin smiled.

"By the way, sister, do you know......" Cuiying suddenly whispered very mysteriously, "Actually...... A few days ago, I saw Brother Ryo walking around the house, maybe looking for you...... Another day, he even stood in front of your friend's guest room door for a while before walking away......"

"Huh? Is it...... Then he ......" Lin Xinyin then remembered that she had been staying in Ye Youyou's room for the past few days to massage the demon girl, and she had completely forgotten the character of Liu Qianli, which was really embarrassing. But what is the matter with him looking for himself?

"However, it seems that Brother Rygo went out very early today, and it seems that he has not come back now." The Oriole suddenly imagined: "Hmm! However, if we go out too, we might be able to meet him on the street! That's interesting. ”

"Uh......" Lin Xinyin felt a little embarrassed, she had been hanging for several days, what should she say when she really met?

……

After a while, he came to the front yard of Xu's house. Lin Xinyin saw that there was a woman who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, the woman was wearing a white straight-necked cardigan with a jacket than a armor, and a pure white ripe silk skirt without any embroidery patterns.

That's Wen Qiu. Lin Xinyin saw that her dress seemed to be more simple than when she was in Xiyuan, and she didn't even wear the eight-fold Luo skirt of ordinary people, maybe it was to avoid the embarrassment caused by the difference in dress level when she went out with her, right? But Wen Qiu's simple and elegant appearance does give people a sense of intimacy. So, Lin Xinyin approached and said, "Mrs. Xu......"

"It's good for Xinyin to call me sister, if you don't feel used to it, you can also call me Wen Qiu's ......" Wen Qiu smiled and stretched out her hands to hold Lin Xinyin, her movements were a bit similar to Cuiying, but there was a warmth like autumn sunshine, which made people unable to refuse: "If you call me Mrs., I always feel old......"

"Well, then...... Sister Wen. Looking at Wen Qiu's smile and feeling the temperature on the other party's hands, Lin Xinyin had a feeling like being held by the big sister next door when she was a child, natural and warm, so that she would not have any uncomfortable feelings.

Speaking of which, Wen Qiu seems to have been in the mansion for a few days. Lin Xinyin remembered that Wen Qiu seemed to catch a cold when she was watching the thousand-year-old ginkgo biloba in Xiyuan, so she asked with concern: "By the way, Sister Wen has been feeling better these days?" ”

"It's not good yet. I couldn't take any medicine, so I thought that I might be fine in a few days, but the longer I stayed at home, the worse it would be. Wen Qiu smiled and said, "So, it's better to go out and bask in the sun." ”

"Gang Master Xu won't object, right?" Lin Xinyin asked with a smile. She remembered Xu Zhuoshu's nervous appearance when she was in Xiyuan.

"He can't keep an eye on me all day. Hmph~" Wen Qiu said playfully: "What's more, this will be just the three of us, and it will be fine." Okay, let's go quickly......" With that, she pulled Lin Xinyin out of the door.

The green warbler around him also hurried to follow.

……

on Golden Sands Street. Two plainly dressed women walked side by side, one was a young and beautiful girl, the other was an elegant and generous young woman, and they were followed by a lively and lovely maid; This combination constantly attracts the attention of passers-by.

Lin Xinyin noticed that Wen Qiu coughed a few times from time to time, so she said with concern: "Sister Wen, you seem to have had a cold for a few days, why don't you take some medicine?" She also remembered that Wen Qiu had said that it was inconvenient to use medicine, but she couldn't figure out what to do.

"Later, I'll ask Cuiying to help get some perilla leaves, and Mai Dong will come back to soak in water." Wen Qiu shook his head lightly, stroked his lower abdomen with both hands, and said with a smile: "At this time, you really can't take medicine casually." ”

"Why?" Lin Xinyin couldn't help but ask.

"Heh......" Wen Qiu looked at Lin Xinyin, who had been ignorant many times, but was embarrassed to explain the reason for a while.

"Sister......" The cuiying behind didn't know when to follow, and leaned closer to Lin Xinyin's ear and said happily: "That's because our wife is happy......"

"Huh? Yes! That...... That's congratulations...... I really don't understand! Lin Xinyin reacted at this time. But it was too far away and too strange for her to know how to respond.

"Huh. Women, there will always be a day when they understand. Wen Qiu looked at Lin Xinyin meaningfully.

"It's okay if you don't understand......" Lin Xinyin avoided Wen Qiu's eyes in a little panic, thinking about how to change the topic, but her head went blank for a moment.

"It doesn't matter now. As the saying goes, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and Xinyin will naturally understand it one day...... The young man Lin Xinyin is looking for is in Fuzhou, right? Maybe he'll help you understand someday...... Burst. Wen Qiu actually laughed out loud as he spoke.

"No, no, no...... You don't need his help......" Lin Xinyin was dumbfounded: This Wen Qiu is talking on such a big scale?

"Why?" Wen Qiu pretended to be surprised: "Is it better to let Liu Qianli help you understand?" ”

"That's even more impossible!" Lin Xinyin was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

"Isn't it appropriate......" Wen Qiu pretended to think for a while, and then said with a smile: "Otherwise, Xinyin will simply stay in Yuepu, and I will carefully select a young talent from the local family clan, so that Xinyin can help make Xinyin clear and clear......"

"Sister Wen, don't laugh anymore......" Lin Xinyin felt as if she had entered a set, so she hurriedly looked around to find something that could be used as a topic, and this would seem to be a stroll on the commercial street specializing in dim sum, so she casually expanded and said regardless of whether it was suitable or not: "Huh...... What are these snacks, white and round and smooth, so cute......"

"Oh? That's glutinous rice balls. Wen Qiu temporarily put aside the mentality of teasing Lin Xinyin, and instead introduced Yuepu's pastry specialties: "Speaking of which, Yuepu's local pastries are also quite famous in eastern Guangdong, such as money cakes, mung bean cakes, water chestnut cakes, and soup money...... As the Buddha Bathing Festival is approaching, there are more types of pastries. By the way, does Xinyin have a sweet tooth? Chef Li in the house is very good at making pastries, especially glutinous rice balls. It just so happens that the kitchen is preparing some seasonal pastries these days, and after going back, Xinyin can taste it, and you will have an endless aftertaste. ”

"Oh, that's good. I'm looking forward to it! Lin Xinyin listened to Wen Qiu's many varieties of pastries, so she asked curiously: "Then Sister Wen, do you also like sweets?" ”

"It's okay, I don't particularly like it." Wen Qiu coughed again and said, "It's just that this throat is a little sore, and the pastries that are sticky and a little hot like glutinous rice balls have become taboo recently." ”

"Yes, you have to pay attention to your diet." It is indeed not easy for Lin Xinyin to think that it is not easy for a woman to get pregnant, and it is also taboo to pay attention to it...... Suddenly, she shuddered unconsciously.

Have a baby? It's too far away, it's too scary to think about it.

Lin Xinyin hurriedly dissipated the association about giving birth to a baby in her mind.

Well, speaking of sweets...... She remembered Liu Qianli, who seemed to like sweets very much. Where is he?

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Changping Street in the south of Yuepu City is slightly deserted.

In a small teahouse somewhere, there were a few tables and a few long wooden chairs scattered around the sparsely decorated shop, and at one of the tables was the only customer of the afternoon.

That person was none other than Liu Qianli. He sipped his tea leisurely, looking at the long empty street outside the store from time to time.

After a while, pedestrians passed by in twos and threes.

When the light of day was fading, a sturdy man suddenly stepped into the store, which finally added more popularity to this small shop.

The man noticed Liu Qianli's existence, so he casually found another table nearby, pulled over the chair and sat down.

The owner of the teahouse wasted no time in selling tea, but he was soon disappointed, and the man just asked for a pot of the cheapest Tieguanyin.

It took a while. The two customers in the restaurant were drinking tea by themselves, as quiet as before.

However, this silence was finally broken by the man's call.

“…… Son. ”

"Hmm. Don't you call me now, aren't you used to it? Liu Qianli didn't speak to the man, but continued to taste his tea.

"I'm not used to it."

"That's it. When did you come to Wolpo? ”

"It's been a few days."

"What about them?"

"I think it's two or three days later than me."

"What did you find?"

"Near Xu's mansion, there are many secret sentinels, and they don't look like a gang."

"......" Liu Qianli put down the teacup, looked at the man and said, "You say, did I do that, did it affect Zhuo Shu?" ”

"It's hard to say."

"......" Liu Qianli pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Tomorrow, Wen Qiu will leave for the Great Buddha Temple, and you will secretly follow her convoy." ”

"If there is an abnormality, will you take action immediately?"

"Let's do what we need to do." Liu Qianli said.

"Is it appropriate? Are you sure you're in control? ”

"As long as the information of the Aotian Pavilion is correct." Liu Qianli held the teacup tightly, but unconsciously added a few points: "Moreover, I also want to figure out something." ”

"Good. If this matter is over, will the son return to Guanzhong? ”

"Yes. The ninth day of April at the latest. Liu Qianli put down the teacup, got up and passed the man and said, "In short, human life is important, and you make your own decisions." Tomorrow night, maybe we'll meet again. ”

Soon, Liu Qianli walked out of the tea house.

In the small shop, there was only one customer left.

……

……

When Liu Qianli returned to Xu's mansion, the sky was already dark.

He walked past the front yard when he heard a small click.

Who is building the flowers? Liu Qianli followed the sound and saw that under a tall and lush mulberry tree near the wall, there was a wooden triangular folding ladder at some point, and a man was standing on top of it. The man's shoulders were barely submerged in the lush foliage, and his back was dyed golden by the afterglow of the setting sun, and although his expression could not be seen at this time, it must have been extremely focused. He searched among the branches and leaves for a while, and then he raised an iron scissor in his right hand to pick the best mulberry leaves, and with his left hand threw the leaves into the rattan basket hanging from the edge of the ladder.

Liu Qianli looked at the man's back for a while, and after matching with an acquaintance in his mind, he approached and said hello: "Severe winter, long time no see." ”

The man stopped his movements when he heard the sound, turned around and looked down at Liu Qianli, but he looked at it for a while before responding: "...... That's going to call you a thousand miles, isn't it? ”

"Of course it's a thousand miles. Didn't you see me for a few years and forgot about me? Liu Qianli said with a smile: "I heard Ah Hai say that you may come back yesterday, but I didn't expect to meet until today." ”

"There were some things that delayed the trip, but it was finally taken care of." Yan Dong looked at Liu Qianli's expression, as if he was carefully identifying the traces of the previous years: "I really haven't seen you for several years." You seem to have changed...... Maybe in a few years, I really won't recognize you. ”

"It's okay, I just recognize your old-fashioned look."

"Huh." Bitter Winter turned around and hid that expression in the mulberry leaves again.

"Chisato, when are you leaving?" The tone of the harsh winter suddenly took on some grim meaning.

"It's probably just a few days." Liu Qianli faintly heard the other party's tone as if he was a bit evicted, so he asked, "Why, I'm not welcome?" ”

"If it weren't for this time, it would be like that year, and you would not be drunk and would not return." "It's a little different," says Winter. ”

"It's really cold. I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've treated old friends like this? Liu Qianli looked sad: "Fortunately, Brother Zhuo Shu treats me as before." ”

"If you come in another capacity, maybe he will be better for you......" Yan Dong seemed to snicker, but then changed to a serious tone: "But now Guangdong is not peaceful, you also know." But I heard Ah Hai say that there are still some special guests in the house now. ”

"Are you blaming me? Winter. Liu Qianli asked.

"No, I don't blame you." The harsh winter seemed to be looking for a good mulberry leaf again, so he cut it off: "Zhuo Shu is kind and benevolent, and righteous and cloudy, but I always try to keep him away from the disputes in the rivers and lakes. At the end of the day, it's more about my own thoughts. So, I have no right to blame you. ”

"So why bother? Wouldn't it be better if you got out of here? Liu Qianli shook his head, raised his hand and stretched out his fingers, and a burst of energy instantly swept through the branches and leaves, and suddenly a mulberry leaf slowly fell. He took the leaf steadily, threw it into the wooden basket next to the ladder, and then said to the harsh winter that was still using iron scissors: "The great husband is alive, and he should go to the world and make a name for himself." Why are you in the prime of life, but you are willing to live incognito, abandon military forces to engage in business, and even collect mulberry and raise silkworms, and live a dull life? It's just a pity that you have talent. ”

"No matter how brilliant it is, it's only been decades, and in the end, it's not to return to the roots? If you are born in Sri Lanka, why not die here? Yan Dong replied: "What's more, there are brothers here who treat me sincerely and deserve my protection, as well as ...... Others. ”

"Well, everyone has their own aspirations. I knew you were a lump of iron that didn't conspire with each other. Liu Qianli said with a smile. He should also be very aware of the character of the harsh winter, so he has no intention of continuing this topic.

"Huh." Yan Dong turned to say: "Your mulberry picking finger is getting more and more handsome, and it is making rapid progress." I remember that a few years ago you could only tear through the cloth, but now you can volley off leaves. ”

"You can't stand still." Liu Qianli asked, "Then what about your boxing skills?" Can you still knock down the wall in front of you? ”

"I should be able to make a hole. Why don't we compare and compare? ”

"Gestures? Are you willing to hit me? ”

"Willing, willing."

"It's too much."

"Hehe......"

……

After Liu Qianli chatted with Yan Dong a few more words, he vaguely heard a gentle footstep behind him. When he turned around and saw the person clearly, he greeted with a smile: "Yo, Wen Qiu, Xinyin...... Oh, and the little Oriole is there too? ”

As soon as the words fell, the harsh winter, which was still half-hidden in the mulberry leaves, seemed to stop moving. But he was still standing on the ladder, not even turning around.

"Thousands of miles." Lin Xinyin responded with a smile, but seemed a little embarrassed.

Wen Qiu, who was next to him, also greeted Liu Qianli, walked closer to the mulberry tree, raised his head, looked at the people in the forest and said, "Hey, stone." Arrived this afternoon? ”

There was a small clattering sound again. Severe Winter continued to wield the iron scissors in his hand, but his movements seemed to be faster.

"Well, it wasn't long ago. If you are idle, you can pick some mulberry leaves. ”

"Ah Hai has already picked it this morning." Wen Qiu smiled: "How many days can you stop this time?" ”

"Really?" Yan Dong didn't stop his movements, but slowed down slightly: "Maybe I'll leave tomorrow afternoon, and I'll go to Huadu with the Chamber of Commerce to do something." ”

"Heh, I'm going to the Big Buddha Temple tomorrow morning. When I return, you won't be there. Wen Qiu said.

"Perhaps." Yan Dong replied.

"That's fine. Then you can continue to pick, and it is good to collect an extra half a month's amount. Wen Qiu glanced at the harvest in the basket, then turned around, picked up Lin Xinyin beside him and walked to the inner courtyard: "Okay, Xinyin, do you remember what I said about Master Li just now?" This will take you to taste his craft. ”

"Huh? Good......? Before Lin Xinyin could react, she had been dragged a few steps away by Wen Qiu, and Cuiying hurriedly followed their footsteps.

Lin Xinyin really didn't expect that this gentle Mrs. Xu could have so much strength, but she didn't have time to say anything to Liu Qianli before she could say anything. In a moment, she turned around and looked back after being pulled by Wen Qiu for a while, and the figures of Liu Qianli and Yan Dong had already been left behind the stone wall screen.

……

Click, click......

Liu Qianli noticed that something seemed to have fallen. He bent down to pick it up, and Zou raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Brother Yan Dong." ”

"What?" The sound of harsh winter is still buried in the echo of collecting mulberry leaves.

"You cut off the whole branch." Liu Qianli looked at a large string of mulberry branches in his hand with pity: he saw that the blue and white juice stains at the fracture had not dried, like a drop of blood, which was really pitiful......

"Oh......" Yan Dong stopped his movements and sighed: "It's out of shape." ”

"Picking so many leaves...... Are you thinking of going out tomorrow to serve as dry food? Liu Qianli threw the branch into the basket, clapped his hands, and noticed that someone was coming this way.

"Ah Hai is here too."

"Ah Hai?" As soon as Yan Dong turned around to look at the person, he shouted from afar: "Ah Hai, come and pick up the scissors." ”

"Good! Brother Dong! Ah Hai hurriedly ran over, trying to raise his hand to catch the scissors handed by Winter, but he was already short, and Winter's would be standing on the top of the ladder again, causing him to almost stand on tiptoe, but he still had something out of reach of Winter's hand when he raised his hand.

Yan Dong walked down the two-hurdle ladder slightly, and then lowered his arm, which allowed Ah Hai to take the scissors smoothly.

"Ah Hai, put away the scissors and baskets, and wait for me in the front yard later." Waiting for the handover of the tools, Yan Dong commanded.

Ah Hai answered, holding the scissors in his left hand, and holding the basket that was about to overflow in his right hand, and walked away with considerable difficulty.

I couldn't see Ah Hai's figure anymore, and only then did I start to go down the ladder in the harsh winter. I don't know if it was because I stood for too long and my steps were unsteady or what the reason was, but suddenly he stumbled, his body tilted suddenly, and something fell from his arms to the ground.

"Huh?" Liu Qianli saw some bright light and fell, and was thinking about whether he could pick up any treasure, but when he looked at it, it was just an ordinary small dagger. He picked up the dagger and looked at it carefully, and could still see the rust on it, so he smiled and said, "If you use this thing to cut letter paper or something, you are not afraid of staining the paper?" But it's good to use it to hurt people, and maybe it can kill people by poison. With that, he returned the worthless little iron sword to Winter.

"It's been used for a long time, and the feelings are deep, so I can't bear to throw it away." Yan Dong smiled and took the dagger.

"At least more than ten years, right?"

"Pretty much."

"Tut-tut, if I give you a stone on a whim, will you also collect it for decades?"

"Maybe. I'm used to collecting rags. ”

"Oops." Liu Qianli shook his head regretfully, his eyes were full of sympathy for the harsh winter: "How can such an infatuated man not be able to get a wife?" ”

"Nobody wants it." Yan Dong laughed at himself, and joked with a smile: "How can such a handsome son still be alone?" ”

"I can't meet anyone." Liu Qianli looked helpless.

"It's the same end of the world." Yan Dong thought seriously for a while, and suggested: "Why don't we two poor people get together, but we will be left alive?" ”

"Such acts that go against the humanity of heaven will be spurned by the world."

"I don't mind."

"I don't mind. And you're not my thing. ”

"You can treat me as food."

"Is that one more dish missing?"

"Eat first, then find vegetables."

"But I like sweet, but you're salty."

"Hahaha!" Yan Dong laughed a few times, seemed to be in a lot of mood, and said loudly: "Go!" Drink and go! Tonight, don't get drunk and don't go home! ”

"Didn't you say that this moment is different and you don't want to drink with me?" Liu Qianli said with a smile.

"Lao Tzu changed his mind today, go!" With a wave of his hand, Severe Winter walked towards the front yard.

"First of all, I won't go crazy with you tonight. You're the only one who wants to get drunk. Liu Qianli kept up with the pace of the harsh winter and left enough room for himself first.

"!" Yan Dong laughed: "That's it! Lao Tzu is looking for Ah Hai to drink! Anyway, you can drag me back tonight! ”

"Boss!" Liu Qianli scolded with a smile: "I'm already eight points drunk before I drink!" ”

"Hahaha......!"

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Tonight, the sky is cloudy, and there is not a trace of moonlight.

Ah Hai walked alone in the dark and silent alley, his steps a little unsteady.

He was poured several bowls of wine by the harsh winter tonight, although it was difficult to get drunk with rice wine, but he was also dizzy after a few rounds of drinking. Fortunately, Liu Qianli heard that he was going to travel with Wen Qiu's convoy tomorrow, so he tried his best to help him block a lot of wine, and also found an opportunity for him to go back to rest first.

What a nice guy Richer is! Ah Hai was very grateful in his heart. Although Liu Qianli said that one person couldn't drag the two drunken cats back, so he persuaded Yan Dong to let one horse go, but anyway, he still saved his life, otherwise he might really be drunk and faint in the tavern, and it would be a mistake for tomorrow's big event!

It's just that why is Brother Dong's interest so high today? Could it be that it is rare to see Ricore once, so he is so indulgent? Ah Hai couldn't figure it out either. However, he is also quite worried about Liu Qianli and Yan Dong, these two are still spending time in the tavern!

Turning a corner, it is the wide alley where Xu's mansion is located.

Ah Hai walked a few more steps, and suddenly saw a figure that seemed to be in front of him.

This place, at this time? Ah Hai rubbed his eyes vigorously, wondering if he had drunk too much to see the phantom.

The night was too dark. But if you look closely, you can see that it is a man, and he seems to be half a head taller than himself.

Ah Hai unconsciously slowed down. He remembered that when he left the tavern, Liu Qianli had specially instructed him to be careful on the road. At that time, he thought that Liu Qianli was afraid that he would accidentally get drunk on the road, but it would be the time of day, and in this familiar place where it is usually difficult to see half a figure, he suddenly saw a strange man walking towards him, but it also made him suddenly vigilant.

The person in front of him is not in a hurry or slow, and he looks so ordinary that he can't be more ordinary, is he thinking too much?

Ah Hai was a little nervous at the moment, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

The stranger is getting closer.

At this moment, the other party who was originally coming towards him leaned and seemed to give way to the passage.

Ah Hai can almost see the other party's face clearly, but he doesn't seem to feel anything abnormal, is he thinking too much?

So, he walked into the gap that the other had given up.

Passing by.

The man, just like that, was a few steps behind him.

Call. Ah Hai only felt as if he was too nervous.

The big stone in my heart is waiting to land steadily.

A strong wind suddenly attacked from behind!

Ah Hai reacted immediately! His martial arts talent is not good, but he is also from a practicing family, and when he jumps, he has to avoid the enemy attack behind him!

However, the opponent is faster!

Ah Hai only felt that his neck was hit hard by a heavy object, and his eyeballs were almost protruded by the opponent's great force. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, his steps were chaotic, his body was crooked, as if all his strength had been forced out of his body.

He could still feel himself slamming to the ground.

In a few moments, the winner was decided. The other party is actually a master far above himself!

Ah Hai couldn't move. He gritted his teeth, trying to cheer up and use his ears to hear clearly whether the other party would say something, so that he could find an opportunity to go back and report the news!

However, it was another blow, heavier than the front hand, and it hit him directly on the back of the head!

……

……

Half an hour later, in the Xu Mansion.

Carrying a bamboo basket full of clothes, the green warbler walked briskly on the stone path of the atrium; Behind her, the light in the guest room faded into darkness.

Tonight, the moon has been hidden behind heavy clouds, and the light is getting fainter and fainter; She was the only one on the fast path, surrounded by flowers and trees that were colorful during the day but a little ghostly at night, which made her heart unnaturally pimple.

Xu's mansion is too big, coupled with three generations of single transmission, the old man and the old man passed away a few years ago, and Xu Zhuoshu singled himself to pick up the heavy beam; By now, the popularity of the Xu Mansion is very insufficient. Cui Ying couldn't help but pray in her heart, hoping that Mrs. Xu could add a few more pieces to the Xu family, so as to add some laughter to this usually quiet mansion.

After walking a few more steps, the green warbler suddenly noticed that a figure seemed to be emerging in the shade of a tree in front of her. Unprepared, her heart tightened, and she almost screamed in fright.

"Girl." The man snorted softly and took a few steps closer.

Cuiying looked at the person intently, and then relieved her heart.

"Brother Hai...... I almost scared you to death. Suddenly it popped up. ”

"I'm so sorry." Ah Hai looked at the things Cui Ying was carrying in her hand, then looked at the path leading to the guest room behind her, and asked, "Is it the guests?" ”

"Some of them are." Cuiying replied, "I heard that Sister Yin and they may be leaving Yuepu in the next two days, so Mrs. Xu asked me to help clean the guests' clothes in case of emergency. ”

"They?"

"Hmm. Sister Yin actually knows the two sisters who came before! After Cuiying explained, she smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, isn't it?" ”

"It's a coincidence. The two guests before ...... Can you go? ”

"I don't know. Sister Tingyin said that they recovered quickly, and since they said that they would leave in the next two days, it should be fine, right? Cui Ying remembered that when the two female guests were sent to Xu's Mansion by a carriage, they did look like they were in poor health, and Ah Hai was also one of the people who contacted the groom at that time, so it was understandable for him to ask so. She remembered that Lin Xinyin had said that the two female guests were much better now, and then remembered what she had seen and heard when she was tidying up in their room recently, so she added: "Yes, I also saw the older sister trying to walk in the room tonight...... It's still a bit limping, but it's much better than the days before when you could only lie in bed. ”

"Oh...... Then you can really get off to a good start. ”

"Brother Hai, are you uncomfortable in your throat? It seems to be a little hoarse. Cuiying vaguely felt that Ah Hai's voice was a little gloomy, so she asked with concern.

"Ahem. There may be some colds. Very uncomfortable indeed......"

"Well, then you need to rest early. I heard that you were dragged out for a drink tonight by Brother Dong? You're going out tomorrow with your wife's convoy!" Cuiying heard the other family members talk about Ah Hai being dragged to drink tonight, and remembered that Ah Hai had a limited amount of alcohol, so she kindly reminded the other party.

"Ahem. Maybe it's just that I've drunk wine and the wind is blowing, and I'm a little cold. Ah Hai bowed his head and turned around and left: "I'm also tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest." ”

"Be careful." Cuiying looked at the figure of Ah Hai who gradually disappeared into the darkness in front of her, and shouted with concern.

"Got it." Ah Hai's voice was already weak.

After a while, Ah Hai couldn't be seen, and he couldn't even hear the sound of footsteps.

The warbler, but still standing in place.

I always feel that there is a faint worry in my heart.

It seems that I have never felt like this. Why?

The green warbler looked up at the still dark sky, and the melancholy was even worse.
