When it was just dark, Cheng Zheng and his party passed by an ancient town and found an inn to rest. Yishan was also in good spirits at this time because she had slept all afternoon, and she was not honest when she ate, "Where are we here?" "When are you leaving?" "When will I get there, I've been suffocated like this all the way." "Let's go to the town to play, I heard that the ancient town is very lively at night."

Cheng Zheng stopped, "Miss has a tired journey, let's rest early." ”

"Hmph, it's boring." Yishan shook his face.

I couldn't sleep at night and came out of the room. Suddenly, she saw a figure flying down from the roof, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated.

Come: "Disturb Miss." ”

Yishan saw that it was Cheng Zheng who dared to approach: "Why didn't you go to rest?" ”

"I'll come out and take a look."

Yishan said embarrassedly, "I may have slept too much in the afternoon, but now I can't sleep, you can talk to me for a while." ”

Cheng Zheng readily agreed, "Okay." ”

Yishan said, "It's okay for you to take me to the roof, look at how powerful you look on it." ”

"Okay." Cheng Zheng grabbed Shangshan's shoulder, took her to the roof, and carefully helped her sit down.

Yishan looked at the moon and thoughtfully said, "Do you think that the moon on the roof is relatively round?" ”

For this kind of strange question, Cheng Zheng really doesn't know how to answer.

Yishan sighed, "This is the first time I have been away from home so far, so long, so long that I don't know when I will be able to come back." Looking at the moon this time, I really have a different feeling, I feel bigger and rounder. Yishan's words are still mostly sad.

"At the end of the next month, you will go to a new home, where your father and sister are waiting for you, and they will love you very much." Cheng Zheng tried not to let her miss the Min house in Jiangnan. After tonight, there will be no Min house in Jiangnan Town. Since then, there has been no more smoke in the world.

"But that home was completely foreign to me, I didn't know anyone, and I was a little scared."

Cheng Zheng said with relief: "Don't be afraid, today's saint is kind, your sister is gentle and generous, not to mention that you are twin sisters, you look exactly the same, you will not feel born when you see it." ”

Yishan suddenly became excited, "Really? My sister and I are twin sisters? ”

"Yes."

"Does it look alike?"

"It's exactly the same."

"What would it be like to see a face that looks exactly like you? We have a family in town that is also twins, and I often can't tell them apart, and sometimes I make jokes. When I was a child in the school, someone told Mr. Sù that Lin Hai had stolen their fruit, but Mr. Lin He grabbed him and beat him. Lin He said aggrievedly, I am Lin He. As a result, Lin Hai also said, I am Lin He. Then the gentleman was also dumbfounded. Hahahaha! Yishan laughed happily as she remembered the past, which made Cheng Zheng feel distressed. I hope you will be so happy in the future, and I hope that Jiangnan will leave you only happy memories.

Yishan asked again, "How similar do you think I look like my sister?" Can you tell the difference? ”

"You'll find out when you go and see it."

Yishan was quite interested, "Okay, when the time comes, the two of us will tease you to see if you can tell the difference." ”

Cheng Zheng responded gently, "Okay." ”

"My name is Yishan, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"I'm not used to it. It's a name I've never heard before. When the time comes, everyone calls me that, but I thought it wasn't me, and I forgot to agree, but what should I do? It's fun. "Yishan really loves fantasy.

Cheng Zheng reminded: "There will be a palace maid to return to you." ”

"There is suddenly an extra princess in the palace, and the palace maid should not be used to it. By the way, I don't know anything about the palace, do you have to learn a lot of things when you arrive, I heard that the palace is very troublesome, and you have to salute when you eat and walk. If you don't say the right word, you will be killed, it's terrifying. It's still good in Jiangnan, I can go what I want, and I can go out if I want to. How comfortable it is. Yishan sighed.

Cheng Zheng said good words to comfort her, "No, you are a princess, no one will kill you." It's too late for the emperor to love you, how can he kill you. ”

"Will the emperor love me like my father? My dad was kind to me, and once again I teased my husband in the school, and my dad didn't beat me, but just said with a straight face, next time, don't do this. Another time I quietly smeared ink on the chair in the study, and the guest came, hahaha, that time my father really reprimanded me, but he still didn't hit me. Yishan was full of pride, as if she was the only one in the world who had this honor.

Cheng Zheng said: "Miss." ”

"Huh?"

"In the future, you can't call Master Min Daddy anymore. The only person in the world who can be your father is the current emperor, and you have to call him your father. ”

"But," Yishan was a little reluctant, meeting Cheng Zheng's determined gaze, "Okay, got it." Sure enough, there are so many rules in the palace. ”

Cheng Zheng said earnestly: "It's good that you get used to it slowly, and your sister will help you." Although you are a princess, you must also be cautious in your words and deeds, and you can't just say anything. ”

Yishan was impatient: "Okay, got it." Don't teach me so many rules, it's a headache. Tell us about your family, I want to hear your story. ”

"Me?" Cheng Zheng questioned, it was the first time to tell his story to others.

"Yes, yes, I'll listen. How many people are in your family? Did you tease Mr. Teacher like I did when you were a kid? ”

Cheng Zheng pondered for a moment, "I have a younger brother and a younger sister. My younger brother Yuanxin was very naughty when he was a child, and he didn't need to study hard, and he invited more than ten teaching gentlemen one after another, but he was angry with him. Sometimes Yuanxin put a packet of flour on the door of the study, and when Mr. opened the door, his face was sprinkled all over his body. Sometimes I put something in Mr.'s tea, and after Mr. finished drinking the tea, he saw that there was something strange under the tea leaves, and when he took it out, he saw that it was a cricket, and then he was angry and didn't come again. There were also times when Yuanxin sawed off a leg of Mr.'s chair and put it away, and when Mr. sat down, he would fall down. ”

Yishan saw that he spoke vividly and interestingly, and said, "Your brother is really interesting, he doesn't look like you at all, you are very strict." ”

"I'm probably used to life in the military. We Yun people have been practicing martial arts since childhood, at first he was willing to learn, but then he felt tired and boring, and it was very boring to practice every day, so he didn't learn, and when he grew up, he wandered around alone. I don't know where he's doing it now. Cheng Zheng rarely said so much, looking at the round moon in the sky, he couldn't help but start to miss his family. The moon on the roof of the house is indeed relatively round.

Yishan, beside him, didn't know when he had fallen asleep leaning on Cheng Zheng's shoulder. Cheng Zheng untied the cloak on his body, afraid of waking up Yishan, but was kept as steady as possible by Yishan's shoulder, and the other hand tossed back and forth a few times and finally put it on her.

Besides, Yuanxin here, the old man passed on the Yuanxin technique and formation, and it took a lot of effort to let him practice a few times, and at this time it was the second day, and the old man's body was obviously weak, and he coughed even more.

Yuanxin was worried about the old man, and said anxiously, "Senior, I'll go out of the cave to find you something to eat, there is still my dry food outside the cave." ”

The old man shook his head slightly, and said weakly, "No need." ”

Yuanxin thought that the old man was afraid that he would never return, and seriously promised, "Senior, I won't take the opportunity to slip away." ”

But the old man said, "I know, you gave me the water bag, and I know that you are kind." In a game of chess, although you play a little trick, your nature is not bad. ”

Yuanxin asked, "Since my predecessors can trust me, why don't you let me out?" ”

"I'm dying, I know it. If you memorize this recipe and formation, you will be successful in reading this book in the future. The old man was out of breath and very weak when he spoke.

"Senior, senior, drink some water." Yuanxin picked up the water bag and poured the little water left on the old man's lips.

The old man took out a book from under his body and handed it to Yuanxin, "There is also this book of swordsmanship, you don't like martial arts, and you don't force you to learn it." In the future, when you meet someone with a heart, give it to him. There is only one thing that you should keep in mind. ”

"Senior, please speak."

"This formation and sword technique should not be passed on to the wicked villain, and these kung fu should not be used to harm the virtuous and loyal in the future."

"Okay, I remember." The old man's words really made Yuanxin embarrassed, he had such a heart and courage, thinking that he must have been a figure in the rivers and lakes when he was young.

"Let's go." The old man wished, as if he had exhausted his strength, his voice also lowered, "In the place where you fell, dig two feet down, and you can open the stone slab at the entrance of the cave." I used to go in and out of the cave, and it was right here. ”

Yuanxin hesitated, "What about you?" ”

The old man waved him away, "Go, go." Mark my words. ”

This moment was originally what Yuanxin hoped to come the most, but now that it came, it was full of mixed feelings in my heart. He deeply admired this old man who did not know his origin and name, and even felt a little ashamed of him. Just one day of getting along, it made him reluctant to give up, what's the matter, he has never been so sentimental. Yuanxin shook his head and sobered himself up, this kind of little woman's procrastination should not appear on him, he is a person who is willing to even give up his family, how can he be so grinding. Hurry up and get out, this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.

The stone and sand at the burial place are loose and easy to dig, and it doesn't take much effort, so the old man used to go in and out. It didn't take long for Yuanxin to touch a hard iron ball, turn the iron ball, and the stone slab above it opened.

"The juniors have said goodbye, and the seniors should take care." It's a bit reluctant. Hearing no answer, Yuanxin looked at the old man, found that he was unusually calm, and went to test that the old man was no longer breathing. Far away faith is cold, and you have gone like this. Are you so relieved of me, aren't you afraid that your life's learning will fall into the hands of bad people, aren't you afraid that you will see the wrong person? Did you walk so simply without the slightest concern? What is it like to die? Is it liberation?

The first time he had a concept of death was because of his father, and he will never forget how he felt when he saw his father's body, lying there, cold and motionless, leaving his mother crying and falling to his side. This is the woman you love the most, this is the woman who gave up being the princess of a country for you, this is the woman who gave up a lifetime of glory and was willing to be mediocre for you to have children, this is the woman you promised to accompany her for the rest of her life, how can you just leave, how can you bear to see her crying so heartbreakingly. Didn't you teach me that a manly man has to say everything, why can't you even keep your promise to your woman? Are you willing to go?

Yuanxin kowtowed to the old man three times, "Master, let's go." Then he took the broken stones on the ground and buried the old man, and wanted to set up a monument but didn't know what to write, and he didn't know the old man's origin and identity, so he simply didn't write it. Yuanxin bowed again before leaving the cave.
