You have to drink medicine before three meals, and Li Jiangchi carefully boils and serves medicine to Ye Yang every day. Seeing that Ye Yang emptied the bowl every time he took two or three bites, Li Yueliang couldn't help but take a sip when he served him medicine. It was so bitter that she almost shook the bowl with her hands, and kept rubbing her tongue with her teeth. She is also familiar with walking in the yard of her home, and can sometimes trot a few steps.

When Li Yueliang entered the room with the decoction, he heard his grandfather talking to Ye Yang about going to the academy. Now she is not only bitter in her mouth, but also bitter in her heart.

On the grounds of hearing and dyeing, even if she can't watch it, Li Jiangchi will send her and Ye Yang to study.

Li Jiangchi said that he was going to pull Li Yueliang's hand. Li Yueliang shook it off and shouted: "I don't want to go to study, I don't want Grandpa to lead me." ”

Seeing that Li Yueliang looked like she had been greatly wronged, Ye Yang pulled her hand up: "Grandpa, let's go today." ”

"Okay." Li Jiangchi smiled and stepped out of the door, "Let's go." ”

Ye Yang took a few steps forward, and when he saw Li Yueliang standing still, he turned around and approached her and said four words.

Li Yue was so angry that he squeezed his hands tightly and raised his legs reluctantly. She swore that she must learn hundreds of idioms and scold Ye Yang bloody.

Ye Yang took Li Yueliang and followed Li Jiangchi to the only academy in the town.

The place is so small that there is not even a plaque. Everyone sat in the courtyard and listened to the lectures and reads.

Looking at the three people standing at the door, Gongsun Fu raised his eyes and greeted them.

"Sir, I've brought all the children." Li Jiangchi lowered his usual loud voice and pushed Ye Yang and Li Yueliang forward: "Call Master." ”

Ye Yang bowed his head slightly and called Master, and Li Yueliang, who looked reluctant, also shouted behind him.

"Okay." Gongsun Fu nodded, "Leave it to me." ”

Li Jiangchi smiled, turned around and went home.

Gongsun Fu's beard was slightly curled, and he handed the book in his hand to Ye Yang: "Lead your sister to sit on the vacant seat." ”

Ye Yang looked at the book in his hand and handed it back to him: "I can memorize this book." ”

Gongsun Fu looked at the child in front of him, who was only eight or nine years old, reached out and patted Ye Yang's shoulder, and pushed the book to Ye Yang: "You teach her." Ye Yang didn't say anything more, and led Li Yueliang to sit cross-legged at the empty table in the courtyard.

Gongsun Fu, who was in a blue and ink-robed robe, walked and lectured in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. Ye Yang found that the students holding the books looked back at them from time to time.

When it was time to break, the students surrounded the two of them three layers inside and three layers outside, most of them were girls.

The students began to ask Ye Yang about his origins, names, and preferences.

He is quite special, unlike other little boys in the town who run bare-bottomed in the sun, Ye Yang's skin is very white, and although his facial features have not yet grown, he is quite heroic.

The friends all told Li Yueliang that Ye Yang was very good-looking. As for how good-looking, in short, Li Yueliang didn't know.

Ye Yang has become the best and most savvy child in the academy. Gongsun Fu liked him very much. In contrast, the Four Books and Five Classics are very difficult for Li Yueliang, and even more difficult for her who can't see them. In order to let a **** be able to see and read, Ye Yang held Li Yueliang's hand and taught her to read.

Li Jiangchi also loves Ye Yang so much, and sometimes he goes to the Qingshui River to fish, and he will also take him with him. The first time he went to the upper reaches of the Qingshui River, his appearance without saying a word made Li Yueliang laugh for a long time. He didn't expect to be rescued from such a terrible place.

She drew several strokes on the palm of his hand, and in the dark, Ye Yang laughed and said four words in her ear: "The frog at the bottom of the well." ”

She scratched at his hand again: shameless and indecent.

"That's not an idiom."

When he returned home that day, Ye Yang noticed the trees in the forest outside the town, and there were not many leaves left on them.

Li Yueliang felt that it was very cold tonight. She shrunk into the covers, then said to the other end of the room, "The sky is coming." After not hearing Ye Yang's squeak for a long time, she asked again, "Are you dead?" You have something to say. ”

"Hmm." Ye Yang responded to her. Li Yueliang sat up and felt that something was not right: "What's wrong with your voice......" as if she was holding back something. She touched the black and leaned towards Ye Yang's side. The moment she touched his body, the coldness through her fingertips made her shiver. Li Yueliang couldn't help but remember that when Ye Yang was rescued a few months ago, his body was also so cold.

Just like then, she lifted Ye Yang's quilt without hesitation and lay in.

Although she was just a child, Ye Yang still consciously wanted to push her away.

"It's probably the root of the disease that the doctor said." Li Yueliang clinged to him.

There was the sound of gargling outside the window.

It's probably snowing, Ye Yang thought.

The next day, Li Yueliang discussed with her grandfather to buy a stove. Ye Yang was dressed thickly, and he couldn't say a word on the side. He stared blankly at the snow falling from the sky, frowning tightly.

The door to the courtyard was pushed open by a group of frolicking children.

"The moon is cool! Ye Yang! The leader was Chen San next door, "Let's go!" The rich man in the village marries, let's go eat candy together! ”

Li Yueliang looked at Li Jiangchi, and Li Jiangchi waved his hand: "Hey, go and go, I'll go and get the stove." ”

Li Yueliang laughed happily, and in a blink of an eye, she thought of Ye Yang, who was sick, hesitated for a while, and just wanted to refuse Chen San, her hand was wrapped in coldness.

"Let's go." Ye Yang took her hand and followed Chen San in addition to the courtyard.

While walking, Li Yueliang questioned him: "You are obviously not feeling well!" I'm not ready to go, why should I come? ”

"I'm sitting at home and I'm almost an ice sculpture."

"You're a moving ice sculpture at most." Li Yueliang said.

Ye Yang raised his eyebrows and ignored her. The sound of firecrackers was faintly heard. They ran all the way over, and Ye Yang dragged Li Yueliang to follow behind with difficulty.

It was a wealthy merchant in the town who married. Although the groom is not very good-looking, he is married to a big beauty. They crowded into the crowd, and a few little girls spoke: "If it were me, I would marry a man like Ye Yang in the future." ”

"Return the man, come on, won't Ye Yang grow a little whiter?" The boy on the side of Fu and Dao. The girl who spoke gave him a few rolls: "It's not like you, you're ugly, and you can't read well." ”

Hearing this, Li Yueliang sneered and laughed, she turned her head and asked Ye Yang, "How is it?" Is the bride sitting in a sedan chair? ”

Ye Yang nodded: "It's red." ”

"Is it pretty?"

"Inside, I can't see it, I heard that it's a big beauty."

Li Yueliang listened to the sound of firecrackers while making up all kinds of festive scenes in her mind. She clenched Ye Yang's hand tightly, and her own hand was frozen red.

They followed the sedan chair through the crowd, and finally, the groom's horse stopped in front of his house. The sedan chair also stopped, and the bride was helped out, I don't know what kind of expression the choice will have under the red hijab embroidered lace.

The witness was Gongsun Fu.

The children crowded in the doorway, stretched their necks and leaned in, watching the bride and groom prostrate three times.

A hint of joy flashed across Ye Yang's face. He said to Li Yueliang: "The bride has been sent to the wedding room. ”

"Do you want a cave room?" She asked.

"No, the bridegroom has to make a toast."

Li Yueliang nodded: "Getting married is really a troublesome thing. ”

The servants of the rich family came out with candy and eggs and distributed them to each child. Li Yueliang opened his hand to the maximum, grabbed a handful of it in his arms, and then peeled one off and stuffed it into Ye Yang's hand.

"It's sweet."

Tonight's Hesang Town is particularly lively. White snow, red lanterns. The sound of cannon fire.

Li Jiangchi also drank a little wine out of the ordinary. Around the newly placed stove, Li Yueliang was eating sugar, and Ye Yang was also holding a small wine glass in his hand.

"At that time, the doctor also said that if it was a little late, it would not be able to survive." Li Jiangchi took a sip of wine: "Ye Yang, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing in the future!" ”

Ye Yang's face was not bloody: "I hope so." ”

Every night in the east day, he carried a chair, sat by the fire, and said, looking at the red wood burning in the stove, and rubbing his cold hands. Li Yueliang spread a mat on the side of the stove, put a futon on it, and slept on it.

Ye Yang looked at her face covered with black cloth, which was illuminated red in the burning sparks.

At first glance, it is six winters.

The white snow dissipated in the spring warmth, and the sun pierced the clear air. The ice in the lower reaches of the Qingshui River melted, and Li Jiangchi was ready to catch the first fish of spring.

Ye Yang opened his eyes, and between his eyebrows was the coldness of the people accumulated last winter. With his thin lips pursed tightly, he walked up to Li Yueliang's side, and his slender fingers touched her face. She paused for a moment on the black cloth that was clinging to her skin.

The lying girl spoke: "Clothed beasts." ”

Ye Yang laughed and pinched her face: "Winter is coming, get up quickly." ”

After Li Yueliang washed up with him, he sat in the courtyard and listened to Ye Yang chopping wood.

The little child who was dying in her arms back then has now grown much taller than her. The hand that was small in her palm six years ago is now big enough to easily wrap her hand completely. The face she traced with her fingertips already had edges, contours, and undulations. Ye Yang will no longer agree to her getting into his bed, and he will no longer let her snatch food from his bowl, but he still holds her and supports her when he goes out. Li Jiangchi was often worried about Li Yueliang's eyes, and he covered it for six years but didn't see any miracles. Li Yueliang hoped that it would last a little longer, and she hoped that Ye Yang would always be by her side.

Every time I go out, I can hear the neighbors praising Ye Yang for being good-looking, and Li Yueliang is very happy at this time. Even if she can't see, even if she doesn't know when she'll see it. But touching it always reassures people's hearts.

Li Yueliang knew that after two years, when Ye Yang went to Andu to gain fame and become the champion, the most handsome boy in the town would definitely ride a horse and tie a big red flower to marry her. Such a thought had been deeply rooted in her thirteen-year-old head for six years. Li Yueliang firmly believed that if Ye Yang suddenly left her one day, she would definitely die of grief.

Listen to the sound of wood being cracked. Li Yueliang sat on the low chair at the four corners and suddenly asked, "Am I ugly?" ”

Ye Yang stopped what he was doing: "It's not ugly." ”

"Is that pretty?"

"For me." He said, "It's beautiful." ”

Li Yueliang felt that the peach blossoms in the entire Hesang Town were blooming at this moment. She smiled happily. Just as he was about to say something, a person suddenly walked into the courtyard, shouting Ye Yang's name. Li Yueliang heard Ye Yang talking to others, and then the courtyard fell silent again. She couldn't wait to break the silence: "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Yang said: "It's not a thing, it's just that someone else asked me to read the letter." ”

"Oh!" Li Yueliang nodded, it is common for someone to come to Ye Yang to read poems and letters, after all, he is the most proud son of Gongsun Fu, and he is also the future champion recognized in the town. If you can't afford to disturb the master, you have to come and disturb the apprentice.

The sun warms up.

The swallows are coming back, back to where they belong.
