Xue Zhao got up early, cooked a meal, fed Dahua and Xiaolu, and put on the clothes that he had made overnight for Yuanzhao, pulling his arm to look left and right, his eyes were reluctant.

Uncle Li fed Lin Xiuyuan and Xuezhao's horses, and sent them all the way out of the forest with Yuanzhao.

When they were about to reach the exit, Uncle Li and Yuanzhao stopped and said to them, "We'll send it here, you two dolls are good children, you must be together well, if you have free time in the future, come back to see my old man and Yuanzhao, we are waiting for you here." ”

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Li was a little choked, and after more than a month of getting along, they formed a family-like affection.

Xue Zhao's eyes were full of reluctance, she stepped forward and took Yuanzhao's hand, and said in an encouraging tone, "Yuanzhao, you have to grow up quickly, listen to grandpa, when you grow up, take care of grandpa, my sister will definitely come back to see you in the future, do you hear?" ”

Yuanzhao seemed to understand, and this time he nodded firmly, and said in vague words, "Sister, sister...... Come back and see me. ”

Xue Zhao nodded, got up again and said to Uncle Li, "Uncle, thank you for taking care of Xue Zhao, take care of your body, when we come back to see you, your body must be as good as now!" ”

Uncle Li smiled at the two of them and said, "Don't worry." It's getting late, so let's go! ”

Xue Zhao listened to the reluctance to endure parting, ruthlessly, and turned her head to leave.

Lin Xiuyuan also said goodbye to Uncle Li, turned around and hugged Xue Zhao's thin shoulders, and helped her get on the horse.

"Drive!" Lin Xiuyuan shouted, and the horse got up on all four hooves and ran towards the avenue to the east.

Behind him, the figures of Uncle Li and Yuanzhao became smaller and smaller, and finally they couldn't see it, and Xuezhao couldn't help but cry like rain.

The two hired a carriage and rushed in the direction of the capital.

After more than ten days, the two arrived in Hang'an City, which was approaching the Qingming Festival, and it was raining on the road.

Lin Xiuyuan and Xue Zhao found an inn to live in, the window of this inn was next to a deep alley, and the sound of rain drifted in their ears all night.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiuyuan and Xue Zhao got up early in the morning to prepare to hurry, walked to the door of the inn, and found that the spring rain was falling more closely, the two discussed, there were still more than ten days before March 15, they decided to stay for another night, and wait for the rain to light up before leaving.

Under the eaves at the entrance of the inn, there was a thin figure sheltering from the rain, it was a girl about ten years old, carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, and the basket was tightly covered with a cloth of white flowers on a blue background.

Lin Xiuyuan and Xue Zhao finished discussing, and were just about to turn back, when they suddenly heard the immature voice of the girl behind him say, "Big brother, buy a bouquet of flowers for my sister!" ”

Her voice was like a spring.

When they heard this, they looked back and saw the girl walking up behind them, holding up an apricot blossom to them, with a look of longing on her face.

Xue Zhao looked at the flower branch in her hand, and saw that there were five or six apricot blossoms blooming on it, each one the size of a copper coin, the pure white petals stretched softly, and the goose-yellow stamens bloomed from the center of the flower to the surroundings, and the petals were stained with a little spring rain, which was delicate.

The girl held the flower branch to them, her hair and shoulders were wet with the spring rain, and even her eyelashes were stained with crystal raindrops, and her big flickering eyes shone with sparkle.

Xue looked at her appearance, and a feeling of pity welled up in her heart, and she asked softly, "It's raining, aren't you going home yet?" ”

The girl said, "Sister, I have to sell the apricot blossoms before I can go home, or tomorrow it won't look good." ”

Xue Zhao frowned slightly when she heard this, Lin Xiuyuan saw her look, and said to the girl with a smile, "That big brother bought all your apricot blossoms and gave them to my sister, so you can go home quickly, right?" ”

The girl nodded excitedly when she heard this, she lifted the bamboo basket and raised it in the direction of Lin Xiuyuan, and said, "Thank you, big brother!" These apricot blossoms are all yours. Big brother, you must like your sister a lot, right? My sister is so happy! ”

Xue Zhao couldn't help laughing when she heard this, scratched her little nose, and said, "You little girl, what do you know about liking or not?" ”

Lin Xiuyuan opened the cloth on the bamboo basket, took out all the apricot blossoms from the bamboo basket, put a large piece of silver into the bamboo basket, covered the cloth again, returned the bamboo basket to the girl, and said with a smile, "You're right, the eldest brother just likes my sister very much!" ”

Xue Zhao heard a burst of surprise and sweetness in her heart, it was the first time that she heard such a straightforward expression from Lin Xiuyuan's mouth.

The girl smiled when she heard this, took the bamboo basket, reached out and touched the silver tael inside, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became overjoyed, and said, "Brother and sister, you are really."

Good man, with this money, I can go home and ask a doctor to see my mother's illness! ”

Xue Zhao listened and asked with some concern, "Your mother, what's wrong with her?" ”

A trace of sadness slowly appeared on the girl's face, and she whispered, "My mother...... My mother has been dizzy and tinnitus for a few days, and she can't get out of bed today, so I have to go back to her doctor as soon as possible. ”

"Where's your daddy?" Xue Zhao asked with some hesitation.

"Daddy? I never met my father, and my mother said he left me from the moment I was born and never came back. The girl said.

Xue Zhao turned around and pulled Lin Xiuyuan's sleeve when she heard this, and asked, "Xiuyuan, you knew medical skills before, can you still remember it now?" ”

Lin Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Nine times out of ten, it's in my head. Zhao'er, do you want me to go and see this child's mother? ”

Xue Zhao knew that he had always understood her thoughts, so he nodded and said, "We can't be in a hurry today, why don't we help them by the way?" ”

Lin Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Okay, I will support whatever Zhao'er wants to do." ”

Xue Zhao turned to the girl and said, "Your eldest brother knows how to heal, how about we go back with you and give your mother a treat?" ”

When the girl heard this, the look on her face turned from sadness to joy, and she couldn't believe her ears, and asked, "Really?" Thank you sister, thank you big brother! ”

Xue Zhao asked her again, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Xiao Chen." The girl laughed, revealing a row of braided shell-like teeth, which was cute.

Xue Zhao smiled, gently stroked her hair with her hand, and said, "Let's go Xiao Chen, it's raining outside, take our carriage over." ”

The girl did not live too far away, and the carriage turned through the deep alley into a small alley in the middle of nowhere, and it was a short walk away.

This alley was very different from the deep alley where the inn was located, it was a low-rise civilian house, inhabited by some of the lowest people.
