It is said that Coriander came to the old city street with great hardship but found her father to no avail, and she didn't know which door she had gone to be chased and killed, and she didn't dare to go back to the world and the hospital directly after escaping from danger - she didn't want Coriander to see her miserable and embarrassed appearance and worry about it.

Cilantro wanted to go back, but Ake dragged her all the way and didn't let go. She could clearly feel Aker's fear in his trembling little hands.

The little guy has been trembling, turning back in three steps to see if there are any suspicious characters behind him, full of vigilance. He was afraid that the gang he met in the old town street would catch up.

It seems that what happened in the old town street really scared him out.

I don't know if it was because he was frightened or because he was afraid of cold, Ake's teeth chattered up and down, and his little face was slightly blue. The clothes on his body, which had not fitted in the first place, seemed to shrink when exposed to water, clinging to his body, and looked even smaller than usual. The adult shoes on his feet were gone when he fell into the water.

At this moment, he walked barefoot, his little feet and bare calves were muddy, as if he were wearing a pair of muddy little boots.

Coriander is no better, her face is pale and slightly transparent, her lips are blue and tight, and her whole person is as weak as a fluttering piece of paper. Because of her physique, she couldn't stand the slightest chill. In order to save people, she went into the water twice, soaking wet, and now it is a slightly cold and cold weather in March, at this moment, she feels like she is in an ice cellar, and she can't even feel the slightest warmth when she exhales out.

She gritted her teeth so that she wouldn't make herself tremble.

"Master," Ake looked up at the silent coriander, his eyes full of fear, "those people won't catch up, will they?" ”

After speaking, he turned back and looked around.

Cilantro couldn't help but squeeze his little hand, but her hand was cold and didn't help comforting her.

"Don't worry, those people aren't here for us. Besides, they didn't look at your face and couldn't find you. ”

Hearing her words affirm, Ake breathed a sigh of relief, but still had palpitations.

His gaze wandered around Cilantro's expressionless face, as if to explore something.

"Master, aren't you afraid?" Ake asked quietly.

Hearing this, Coriander smiled lightly.

This smile did not add a touch of vividness or grace to her pale face, but made her look like a sculpture without heart and desire, and the lines of the whole person seemed numb and cold.

"I've experienced something more terrible than this."

Death has been experienced, what else can make her afraid? In the previous life, in order to compete for family property, brothers and sisters could be embarrassed, and brothers could kill each other, are there fewer disgusting and outrageous dramas like this around her?

Ake's home is in a remote place to the west of Longcheng Street, entering from an old alley, and then passing through a narrow alley, seeing the old house that Ake told her along the way, Coriander suddenly has a feeling of "the mountains and rivers are doubtful, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village".

This alley alley turns a thousand times, making people have the illusion that they can't go to the end, but in fact, the deeper they go, the more suddenly they open, and they are even more unique.

A unique red-roofed house sits in the heart of a garden that is exquisitely designed, but the landscape is withered, with dry pools, dead trees, and overgrown weeds, not only because of the season, but also because it has not been tended for a long time. In the southeast corner of the garden, there is also an octagonal pavilion with Chinese characteristics, and I don't know how long no one cares, the pavilion is depressed and clear, and the stone table and stone bench are covered with a thick layer of dust.

This is Yihong Garden, which is said to have been the private garden of a dignitary more than 100 years ago, and was once very prestigious.

Today, more than 100 years later, there is no longer the appearance of the former scenery here.

On the south side of the house there are five beautiful arched windows, together with a fan-shaped roof structure, under which are the unseated arches, and the doors and windows are hollowed out to block the cold wind. There is also a patio to the north that leads to the sky, and standing at the bottom of the patio and looking up, you can not only see the flow of clouds in the sky, but also see the corners of the heavy eaves on all sides.

Entering through the archway in the middle of the house, Cilantro realizes how dilapidated the interior of the house is.

The space on the first floor is not large, but it seems very empty, from the simple and dangerous wooden spiral staircase to the second floor, the first thing that catches your eye is a corridor, there are some miscellaneous items piled up on both sides of the corridor, but it is still clean, standing near the window of the corridor, you can overlook half of the garden, and a few old alleys nearby.

Yihong Garden is less popular, the environment is quiet, and there are not many residents, because the rent here is not low, and not ordinary people can afford it. Ake and his sister are among the few residents here.

Ake's footsteps stopped in front of a hidden door, and before he could push it open, he heard a voice from within—

"Is Ark back?"

"Sister, I'm back."

Cilantro listened to the hoarse voice and heard Ake call the man in the house, and she was thinking about how big Ake's sister was.

When she entered the door, she couldn't help but be shocked. Quite unlike what she thought, Ake's sister was not an old woman, but a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Probably because she was sick in bed, her voice didn't sound so out of her flowering age.

The room is very small, but more than ten square meters, with an unobstructed view, only a large bed, a wardrobe and some daily necessities. In the room, near the door, there was a muddy stove, and on the stove sat a kettle that had been cold for a long time.

Ake's sister Ah Yun had a pale face and chapped lips, and when she saw a stranger coming in, her eyes immediately became like a frightened fawn, vigilant and afraid, but these two emotions could not hide the kind and supple brilliance in those eyes.

Seeing that Ake was soaking wet and his legs and feet were muddy, A-Yun was anxious and distressed, so she immediately lifted the shabby quilt and got off the bed, and didn't care about putting on her shoes, so she ran to Ake, squatted down, grabbed his shoulders and checked his whole body.

"How did this happen?" Ah Yun's face was full of concern, and there was no hint of reproach in her eyes.

Seeing her feel so sorry for her brother, Coriander's chest clenched, as if the softest part of her heart was deeply touched, and her whole heart was slowly melting.

Ake's eyes dodged, he didn't dare to look directly at Ayun, rubbed his nose and said vaguely: "I accidentally fell into the river, and it was this sister who rescued me."

Ah Yun looked at the coriander who was soaked all over her body gratefully, and showed a little reproach in Ah Ke's concerned eyes, "How could you fall into the river?" ”

Ark lowered his little head and stared at his restless, dirty toes, "You know my shoes are not good. ”

Ake secretly glanced at the coriander that was slightly raised at the corner of his lips, and saw that she didn't mean to expose his lie, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Coriander knew it, in fact, she was in the same mood as Ake, she didn't tell the truth, she just didn't want her relatives to bear the unnecessary heart.

learned from Ake's mouth that coriander was his life-saving benefactor, and Ayun expressed her gratitude to coriander.

Ake was even more attentive, lighting a fire and filling the coal to burn the stove, carrying the empty pot downstairs to the well outside, and putting a pot of water outside, boiling it and pouring it into the basin, and bringing it to the empty room next door.

He stuffed a clean cloth towel into Cilantro's hand, and pulled out a set of Ah Yun's clothes from the empty closet.

"Master, go and wipe your body, and quickly change your wet clothes."

When he returned, Ark took Cilantro's hand and walked all the way, knowing how cold her body was.

Ah Yun was dumbfounded, a little distressed by the clothes that Ake handed over to Cilantro. The outfit was a yellow shirt and white pants, although thin, it was the one she could wear the most.

Also, although she knows that her brother is very caring, when did she start to become so caring?

Looking at what Ark made for her, Cilantro was really moved.

"You go wash first, I'll wash it later." Cilantro handed him the cloth towel.

Ake held his little hands behind his back and twisted and pinched, "I'm dirty, so you should wash it first." He urged, "Go quickly, the water will be cold later!" ”

A warm current surged all over the body, and the coriander was also warm in his heart.
