The wind and snow gradually subsided, and a few pieces fluttered and sprinkled, and the young man upstairs carried the light, and the snowflakes gently brushed his cheeks, and his voice was so joyful, but no one could see how resentful his eyes were. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was not the first time Ah Fei had seen Long Xiaoyun, but he was still amazed by the strength of his face-changing skills, he had never seen a scheming child like him.

No one could have imagined that a teenager could be so vicious, that human life was as light as a feather in his eyes, that he could stick the blade into the chest of the moment with a smile and laugh and feast.

This house has experienced a hundred years of wind and frost, this house has had countless glory, and now it is indeed old. Li Xunhuan and Ah Fei stepped on the wooden stairs, and the sound of squeaking was so clear and cold in the snowy night.

Long Xiaoyun watched the two go upstairs, the corners of his lips hooked up a meaningful smile, and when he turned around, his eyebrows and eyes were surprisingly pure, like children who don't know the world.

He took two steps forward, raised his head and asked Gu Xiaoxiao curiously: "Aunt Xian'er, where have you been in the past year, and why are you with Uncle Li and them?" ”

The lights were crumbling by the wind, Lin Shiyin's shadow was shaking on the wall, and the expression on her pale face was so complicated at the moment, as if it was not her shadow that was shaking violently but her heart.

Hearing Long Xiaoyun affectionately call Uncle Li, she felt a little relieved in her heart, Xiaoyun was finally sensible, and she was extremely happy that he could reconcile with his cousin.

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled at Long Xiaoyun, but her gaze turned to Lin Shiyin, she took two steps forward, her eyes were full of eagerness and apology: "Sister Shiyin, I shouldn't have said goodbye in the first place, you suffered." “

Lin Shiyin also took two steps forward, she reached out and held Gu Xiaoxiao's hand, and said softly: "You have lost weight, I have been worried about you in the past year." ”

She was obviously sitting in a warm room, but when Gu Xiaoxiao touched her thin fingers, she found that her hands were even colder than hers.

"It's okay, just come back." Lin Shiyin's beautiful eyes finally regained their vitality, and she held Lin Xian'er's hand and trembled slightly, whether it was for the joy of reuniting with her, or for another person.

Long Xiaoyun stood behind Lin Xian'er, lowered her head slightly, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, she avoided his topic, and directly reminisced with his kind and deceitful mother, which made him indignant.

"Ahem."

Before Li Xunhuan arrived at the door, the cough came first, Lin Shiyin subconsciously clenched Gu Xiaoxiao's hand, and relaxed again after a while.

Gu Xiaoxiao's other hand also put on the back of Lin Xian'er's hand to appease, turned her body to the door and said with a smile: "Ah Fei, Brother Li, bring the door, Sister Shiyin is weak, don't let her blow the cold wind." ”

As soon as her words landed, Long Xiaoyun had already put an old red velvet cloak on Lin Shiyin's shoulder with a smile, and blamed herself: "The child should be beaten, but he is not as careful as Aunt Xian'er, and he almost made his mother froze." ”

Lin Shiyin wrapped the cloak tightly with her hand and looked at Long Xiaoyun lovingly, her eyes were full of love and pity.

She is such a child, the hope of her life, and the concern she can't let go.

Obviously, Li Xunhuan walked in the front, but when he entered the house, Ah Fei stepped in first, and Li Xunhuan fell behind in hesitation and hesitation.

He suppressed the coughing sound in his chest, slowly raised his head, and when he looked up downstairs, he saw that there were nearly a hundred cracks in the window lattice, and every day there were traces of time, and even the light was so lonely.

A cottage full of lights in winter should be warm and beautiful.

The furnishings in the room were outdated, lacking warmth and luster, and no one took care of the paint on the corners and chair legs, Li Xunhuan's gaze slowly moved up, and finally met Lin Shiyin's gaze.

When he saw the red velvet cloak she wore behind him, Li Xunhuan's calm eyes finally revealed a hint of pain, even though he quickly concealed his mood.

Lin Shiyin's eyes flashed with resentment, the eyes of the two were so similar, she looked at him fixedly as if she was complaining.

The moment Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin looked at each other, he remembered that winter, when the plum blossoms were blooming and the snowflakes were flying, he was building a snowman under the plum tree.

His mother, who was sick and rarely appeared in the courtyard, suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a girl dressed in red in her hand.

That was the first time he saw Lin Shiyin, the scarlet wind was more vivid than plum blossoms, her face was pale and transparent in the bleak wind and snow, she was so immature and innocent at that time.

Li Xunhuan resisted the urge to cough, his eyes fell on Lin Shiyin's shoulder, and the color of the old cloak was a little dull, as if the vivid memories of his teenage years had faded.

"Sister-in-law," Li Xunhuan paused, but still called out such a title, even if he called her name countless times in his heart, even if he called "sister-in-law" painfully and bitterly.

He remembered that when he had just come back from Guanwai, Lin Shiyin had stared at him full of resentment.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the resentment in Lin Shiyin's eyes is much less, but her whole person has a lifeless aura, even if she holds Lin Xian'er's hand, the little half of her face is still smiling.

Who can smile on half a face?

Unless, she's just smirking. The innocent and lovely little girl in her memory, wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, the years have really not treated her favorably, and how much of her sorrow is caused by him, Li Xunhuan felt sorry in his heart.

A sister-in-law made Lin Shiyin's heart suddenly fall under the cliff, she smiled coldly and the corners of her lips were raised, but there was no smile in her beautiful eyes: "Long time no see, cousin is doing well." ”

Ah Fei stood beside him holding the sword, and whenever he was confused, he often unconsciously held the sword in his arms.

He could feel the undercurrent between the two, but he couldn't figure out why, what else in this world could not be said directly?

Ah Fei looked at Lin Xian'er, who was standing silently next to Lin Shiyin, and a burst of heat surged in his chest, compared to Brother Li, how lucky he was.

"Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, a calm day should be good."

Long Xiaoyun watched the interaction between the two, saw the pain and struggle in the depths of their eyes, and the hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist and asked Li Xunhuan innocently with a biased face: "Uncle Li, do you know where Daddy has gone, he has not heard from him for more than a year." You are a famous hero in the rivers and lakes, and you will definitely know his news. ”

His eyes widened, the black and white were very smart, Long Xiaoyun was very satisfied with his little cleverness, which made Li Xunhuan's body stiffen there.

He wanted to see how Li Xunhuan responded.

"Xiaoyun, don't be rude, your mother didn't know when your father left, and what did your Uncle Li know."

Even though he saw that Long Xiaoyun was squeezing Li Xunhuan, Lin Shiyin was still reluctant to scold him, but slightly aggravated his tone.

Li Xunhuan's gaze moved from Lin Shiyin to Long Xiaoyun, he shook his head and said very simply: "For more than a year, I have stayed away from the rivers and lakes, and I really forgot about the rivers and lakes, and I don't know the whereabouts of my eldest brother." ”

He is indeed far away from the rivers and lakes, but he has never left Chang'an, he is the closest place to Xingyunzhuang, and has been silently guarding their mother and son.

But Li Xunhuan can't say this, even if he can't let go of everything in his heart, there is no identity that he can't let go, and only one identity forces him to stay away.

Hearing that Li Xunhuan was still called Brother Long Xiaoyun, Lin Shiyin was even more disappointed than he called his sister-in-law, and her heart was even more bitter.

She knew that a person like him, as long as he was saved by the other party once, would be soft-hearted no matter how many times he was let down. Long Xiaoyun designed to frame him, and he could still call him big brother regardless of his previous suspicions.

Long Xiaoyun's eyes blinked and he was about to speak, Gu Xiaoxiao really couldn't stand this cunning and ruthless bear child, so he deliberately sprinkled salt on the wounds of the two, and took the initiative to play a round and said: "Sister Shiyin, it's getting late, and there will be a lot of time to catch up in the future." Now that the Money Gang is rampant, Ah Fei and I have gotten into trouble thanks to Brother Li, but they are acting rampantly. Xian'er was afraid that Sister Shiyin would be affected, so she asked Ah Fei and Brother Li to come back to help, so as not to help the money help. ”

Gu Xiaoxiao said almost more alone than what he and Lin Shiyin said after Li Xunhuan entered the door. She deliberately avoided topics that were easy for the two of them to avoid sensitively, and took all the money gang matters on herself, although it was indeed because of her at first.

Hearing that the three of them were going to stay in Xingyunzhuang temporarily, Lin Shiyin subconsciously looked at Li Xunhuan, his eyes were still calm, and he did not refute Lin Xian'er's words.

"Aunt Xian'er, Uncle Li and Uncle Ah Fei are going to live in Zhuangzi, it's good, my mother and I depend on each other, and now I finally have something to rely on."

Lin Shiyin clenched Lin Xian'er's hand again, and said calmly and kindly: "It's okay, it's just that Zhuangzi is cold, and the servants were sent away by me again, don't dislike the poor conditions when you live." ”

Long Xiaoyun hung an oil bottle at the corner of his mouth, and held Li Xunhuan's sleeve sullenly: "Uncle Li, what my mother said is right, after my father left, we cut off the family, and now we all rely on my mother to sell jewelry and clothes, plus some embroidery work that I usually do to make a living." ”

He looked very pitiful, and Lin Xian'er showed a gloomy look on her face and rarely reprimanded: "Xiaoyun, have you forgotten the truth that your mother usually teaches you." ”

Long Xiaoyun loosened the corner of Li Xunhuan's clothes, showed an unhappy look, and said with grievances: "Uncle Li is not an outsider, why can't he know about the situation at home." ”

No matter how hard life is, Lin Shiyin doesn't want Li Xunhuan to know that her life is no longer fun, so why should she be ridiculed again.

"Shut up." Lin Shiyin was a little anxious, she was already angry.

Li Xunhuan felt self-blame in his heart, he should have thought about how Lin Shiyin's orphans and widows could support the great family business when Long Xiaoyun left. He lived in a daze, but he ignored that Xingyunzhuang had long been difficult enough to dismiss his subordinates.

"Xiaoyun is right, sister-in-law don't want to see outside, tomorrow I will find a craftsman to repair the garden house, and I should be the one to disturb the family here."

Li Xunhuan smiled warmly, Long Xiaoyun turned his anger into joy, and pounced on Lin Shiyin and grabbed her arm and coquettishly: "Mother, Uncle Li is so good to us, when Daddy comes back, I must let Daddy thank him well." ”

Hearing Long Xiaoyun mention Long Xiaoyun, Lin Shiyin's mood could hardly get better, but how could she stop a child from missing his father.

Li Xunhuan's expression was gloomy, they were only a family of three, and his concern could only be hidden in the dark, so unsightly.

A person doesn't like a person, even if that person breathes is wrong, existence is even more of a mistake, Lin Shiyin suddenly felt tired, and her spirit was also a little tired, her eyelids drooped: "Xian'er, you came in a hurry, you can only settle tonight, I haven't sent anyone to move Leng Xiang Xiaozhu, you three might as well settle down in Leng Xiang Xiaozhu tonight." Hey, I'm so incompetent as a master. “

Lin Shiyin would occasionally take a walk to the cold fragrance building to sit, she would clean up the spiders who were busy building webs, and occasionally brush off the dust of the books on the shelves, which was spacious enough, and the three of them were not cramped to stay.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, revealing a bright smile: "Sister, don't blame yourself, if you want to blame us, we came too hastyly, tonight, we will come to talk to my sister tomorrow." ”

Long Xiaoyun clapped his hand, gave a crisp high-five, and said with a smile: "It's really good, mother, it's dark and the road is slippery outside, can I carry the wind lantern to send Uncle Li and them to Lengxiang Xiaozhu?" ”

Lin Shiyin saw that he took the initiative to take on the errand of sending people away, and his expression softened: "Go, you must be careful on the road, walk slowly." ”

"Don't be so troublesome, Xiaoyun is still young, I'll just take Ah Fei and Xian'er over, so I won't get lost."

Li Xunhuan's voice was soft and low, Lin Shiyin glanced at him, walked to the door with a hum, picked up the lantern, lit it with his own hands and handed it over: "Be careful on the road." ”

"Sister Shiyin and Xiaoyun also rest early, and we'll say hello tomorrow."

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and pushed Ah Fei, Ah Fei came to his senses and thanked him: "Ah Fei has thanked Mrs. for taking him in, and he will thank him in the future." ”

The door opened, and Lin Shiyin led Xiaoyun's people, watching Li Xunhuan carry the lantern and send Ah Fei and Lin Xian'er to Lengxiang Xiaozhu.

Li Xunhuan walked less than five steps, turned around and said: "You are thin, Xiaoyun is still young, don't stand at the tuyere for a long time, go back." ”

The wind and snow have completely stopped, and the sky and the earth are silver and white, Xingyunzhuang is covered in silver, and those old and decaying small buildings are also decorated like a crystal palace.

The three of them quickly went downstairs and appeared on the winding path, Long Xiaoyun took Lin Shiyin's hand: "Mother, go to bed early, the child will also sleep, and I will catch up with Uncle Li tomorrow." ”

Lin Shiyin looked at Long Xiaoyun with some emotion, stretched out her hand to stroke his hair, and sighed: "Mother knows that you still hate your Uncle Li, but you don't understand the affairs of adults, your father and him - in short, you don't have to hate your Uncle Li anymore." ”

After all, she didn't say anything bad about Long Xiaoyun in front of Long Xiaoyun, maybe as a man and a brother, Long Xiaoyun was incompetent, but as a husband and father, he was more competent than most men in this world.

Long Xiaoyun raised his head with a blank expression, and said obediently: "Mother, you are wrong to blame the child, I have grown up and become sensible, Uncle Li is really good for us, how can I hate him?" ”
