His eyes suddenly began to dry inexplicably, Ye Xiaoyu reached out and rubbed it, the water vapor was unexpectedly diffused in front of his eyes, and tears began to flow out of the corners of his eyes inexplicably.

I was full of sadness, as if I had lost something most important.

But that person was lost a few years ago? Why is she so sad now?

The resoluteness of the past, under the polishing of time, has become today's obsession.

If it weren't for him......

Boom.

Just as he was in a trance, the horse hit a person, or rather, a person who suddenly rushed out of the alley, and hit the horse's belly in a panic.

The man, dressed in black, staggered a few steps and sat down on the ground after hitting him.

"You, are you alright?"

Ye Xiaoyu asked a little nervously.

The shop is still in preparation, and she doesn't want to cause more trouble for no reason. If it's really a fraud, then it's good to give a little money.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little funny.

When did you become so generous?

The man bowed his head and did not speak.

Ye Xiaoyu was a little scared, but she didn't dare to get off the horse.

"Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

Poking his head out, Ye Xiaoyu asked again.

Fortunately, Xiaobai is well-behaved, otherwise he would have been frightened and ran away if he was suddenly hit like this.

"No, you don't."

The man looked up to himself, and there was no trace of emotion in his tone.

“！”

Facing his eyes, Ye Xiaoyu was so frightened that he grabbed the reins.

- His face was covered with wounds, and he was bleeding near his neck. And in those eyes, there was a hollow, and there was no love.

This...... With so many injuries, just such a light bump, how could there be so many injuries?

"You ......"

"Where did you get this horse?"

The man stared at Ye Xiaoyu for a while, then stood up from the ground.

Ye Xiaoyu was so frightened that she pulled the reins tighter, not only did this person have injuries on his face, but his clothes were also full of bloodstains, as if he had just been fished out of the sea of blood.

Aware of the danger, Xiaobai kept raising his front hooves. Started to get restless.

"Horses? I bought it......"

Ye Xiaoyu tried hard to restrain her fear. Try to answer as straightforwardly as possible.

"Where did you buy it?"

The man came closer, his eyes fixed on her as if he were searching for prey.

"I bought it from a red-haired stranger at the fair."

Ye Xiaoyu said while thinking about how to get rid of this person quickly.

"What's your name?"

The man asked again.

What is your name?

It's your business.

Ye Xiaoyu cursed in her heart.

"I call you Mom!!"

“？”

The man frowned. I didn't hear it as an insult.

"My name is Li Ma."

Seeing that the man did not react. Ye Xiaoyu couldn't hold back a smile. Repeated.

"This brother, don't you really need me to take you to the hospital?"

"No, you don't."

The man replied lightly, and his gaze did not leave Ye Xiaoyu's body.

"That. Since it's okay, I'll go first. ”

Ye Xiaoyu said in a weak tone.

She didn't know who this person was, but since she asked such a strange question, it would be better for her to keep an eye on it.

Could it be that the horse was stolen by Sunny and now touched by its owner?

This possibility is so low that Ye Xiaoyu doesn't plan to think about it anymore.

"You live here?"

The man asked.

"This brother, if you ask so much because you are afraid that I will run away without paying for your medicine, then you don't need to ...... at all."

Ye Xiaoyu was a little irritable, as soon as people were irritable, they became bolder.

"Huh. Let's go......"

The man smiled, and the wound on his face looked even more shocking.

"Don't you really need me to take you to the hospital?"

Ye Xiaoyu confirmed again.

"No, you don't."

Anyway, the injuries on his body were not caused by himself, and since he didn't use it, Ye Xiaoyu also ended up relaxed. As if granted amnesty, she rode Xiaobai and quickly disappeared into the dark streets.

The man stood still, staring at the distant figure, a smile on his lips.

In the depths of the alley behind him, there were seven or eight corpses lying horizontally.

The so-called "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to get it takes no effort" is almost what it means, right?

*

Qingzhou is not too far from Rongzhou, but it takes four or five days to go back and forth. So when Ye Xiaoyu returned to Rongzhou, it happened to be the hottest time of the year.

The noisy chirping of cicadas, the endless sunshine, and the sweat that constantly overflows.

Ye Xiaoyu leaned on the bamboo chair on the second floor, the nanmu pane was wide open, and the pu fan was constantly shaking in her hand, without a trace of wind, she was so hot that she wanted to stick out her tongue like a dog.

In a trance, it seems to have returned to the summer in Quanxiu Village that year, hot and windless, and I was so anxious that I couldn't do it. Liu Yu slipped into the river, and after Qing Lang fished him up, he was covered with leeches.

After so many years, Lu Qian and him, two happy enemies, if nothing else, it is estimated that even the child already has it, right?

Clear...... Perhaps, he has become a father too.

The timer drip pot on the wooden table is dripping water little by little, and the rhythmic sound of water is like a hammer, hitting Ye Xiaoyu's heart moment by moment.

It's been a long time since I've dreamed of sunshine again, and it's been so old that I guess I can't even distinguish his appearance from memory. But for some reason, in recent times, every time I think of this name, I am full of sadness and can't help myself. So she can't be too harsh on Wang Huaiqing, because even she herself hasn't completely let go of the past.

Now that I think about it, two people who can't completely forget the past, even if they become relatives and are reluctantly tied together, they are also in the same bed and have different dreams, forever with the memories of the past. It's better to be like now, separated, and it can be regarded as a relief for each other.

"Is Boss Ye here?"

There was a voice from the shop ahead.

"Officials, do you have anything to do?"

The guy asked respectfully.

"The prefect has something to explain, you hurry up and call Boss Ye to come out......"

"This ......"

Dude is a little hesitant.

Ye Xiaoyu was resting upstairs. He's a man, and it doesn't seem good to go up and bother.

"I don't know how many officials came to the shop today, what important things do you have to order?"

Ye Xiaoyu's timely appearance alleviated the man's worries.

"Boss Ye......"

When the leading official saw Ye Xiaoyu, his tone was a little polite.

Today is not what it used to be, although she still lives a simple life, but the industry under her name should not be underestimated.

This person Ye Xiaoyu knows that he is Zou Yu's right-hand man, Tie Yi.

"Lord Zou recommended Ye Ji pastry to the saint as a special food of our Rongzhou. After eating, the saint was full of praise. Now the decree has come down and summoned you to your audience......"

Tie Yi said, handing the holy decree in his hand to Ye Xiaoyu.

"Originally, Lord Zou was going to come to announce the decree in person, but he has recently been entangled in official business. Can't spare time. I'll do it for me. ”

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu's stunned look. Tie Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"Boss Ye, don't be stunned, hurry up and get ready to go......"

*

"Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu ......"

Ye Xiaoyu stood in place for a long time. It wasn't until the guy couldn't stand it anymore and called several times in a row that she reacted.

Going to Yuejing?

Did Tie Yi let her go to Yuejing just now?

So after going around in circles, she still has to go back to that place.

The old people and things that have been sealed for a long time began to emerge in one after another. Suddenly, she started to get nervous for no apparent reason.

*

Zou Youheng didn't find Qianyi, nor did he go back to Rongzhou, he found a job running in Yuejing City, anxiously waiting for the letter from the Zou family, while living a tight life.

When he got his first salary for the teahouse, he sent a letter to Rongzhou in a hurry, but now three months have passed, and the letter seems to have sunk into the sea, and there is no news.

The dark horse left by Qinglang was able to sell it for some money, but Zou Youheng was reluctant to sell it. Especially after knowing that that person is no longer alive.

Although the funeral was simple, Zou Youheng was in Yuejing, and he was in a teahouse with fish and dragons, and he kept his ears open every day to collect news, and he heard the news one day.

Zou Youheng forgot how he survived the days when he first got the news.

He couldn't see the last side of Qingliang, and he couldn't go to the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs to see him, remembering the scene when he saved himself that day, Zou Youheng collapsed in addition to collapsing, and the whole person was groggy and lay in the big house in the suburbs for three days.

Because of this, he lost the first job he finally found to run the hall.

Pingshui meets, and they don't know each other in their lives.

But this man repeatedly saved himself despite the danger. Even, those Zhou Ming who came out of the cave later were all rescued by Qinglang.

No matter what his reason is or what his purpose is, if he doesn't care about his own safety and takes risks to come to the rescue, he will not be a bad person.

It's a pity that this world has always been a scourge for thousands of years, so such a good person like Qinglang passed away prematurely.

The weather was too hot, and there were almost no customers at noon in the teahouse, Zou Youheng leaned on a chair, his legs staggered on the table in front of him, and there was a mismatch in his mind.

Something that came to mind so suddenly almost made him fall off his chair.

Clear...... In front of Xuanwu Gate that day, Qinglang seemed to give him a word.

"Don't let Ye Xiaoyu come to Yuejing."

A sentence without a beginning or an end, but almost with his life. It's a pity that after Zou Youheng escaped, he either thought about finding Qianyi, or thinking about how to live, and even collapsed for Qinglang's death, but he just missed this sentence.

What should I do now?

Three months have passed since that day, and he himself has not yet figured out whether the "Ye Xiaoyu" in Qinglang's words is the one he knows.

Zou Youheng was suddenly a little flustered.

If it's the one I know, it's okay, that person is now estimated to be busy making money in Rongzhou, busy with Wang Huaiqing, and I should have no mind and nothing to do to come to Yuejing.

But what if it's not her?

Zou Youheng's anxious facial expression began to distort a little.

He's really fucking useless, and there's no way to help him do just that.

If it weren't for the Ye Xiaoyu he knew, then in this vast sea of people, where would he start? (To be continued......)
