In winter, it was early under the sun, and it was late at night after chatting with the third sister after dinner, Lin Xiao put on a third sister's robe for Xue Yao, and walked home with her sleeping, and the third sister saw her off all the way.

On the streets, the night market has arrived, as the most prosperous capital cities in various countries, the south city is still prosperous at night, the shops are still open, the bell of Jingyun Temple is ringing, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha is endless, the high-end appliance stores in the West Market are endless, the joy in the sweet water lane is continuous, the rich and noble people are full of dogs and horses, Lin Xiao and the third sister walked and looked all the way, chatting casually, until Lin Xiao suddenly asked:

"Sister, how much do you know about the eldest brother?"

Lin Yuxie was startled at first, and then asked rhetorically: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"Yesterday my mother reminded me of the time when I burned incense and prayed for him. ”

"Actually...... I've been looking into this all these years. ”

"Then ......" Lin Xiao was speechless for a while, "Three years ago, you quarreled with your father, refused to join the Imperial Southern Sect and wanted to enter the Divine Capture Camp, just for this?"

"Hmm...... Not exactly. Lin Yuxi said, thought for a moment, and said again: "The Divine Capture Camp is directly under the emperor, inspecting hundreds of officials and prisons, and I joined the first to investigate the matter of the eldest brother, and secondly, to sweep away the evil in the world, only to find out ......"

"Hmph~" Lin Yuxi chuckled helplessly, "If you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again." ”

"The language of the mentally ill is often rhyming. Lin Xiao muttered quietly.

"What?"

"No, no, nothing. Lin Xiao hurriedly prevaricated, "Later, how did the eldest brother find out?"

Lin Yuxie shook his head: "It stands to reason that even if an ordinary person disappears, the Divine Capture Camp and the official office will file a case, but in these years, I have never even seen the file." ”

"Or is it some special file that the average person doesn't have the right to see?"

Lin Xiao said a word, Lin Yu was enlightened, and his eyes lit up.

"You must keep the matter of my eldest brother privately investigated, and no one is allowed to say it. ”

"Okay, but you have to tell me if there's any news. ”

Lin Yuxi smiled, stretched out the little finger of his right hand, and hooked with Lin Xiao.

On the corner of the tall building on the roof of the street business, a white and red silk-robed cultivator saw everything in his eyes and listened to it in detail.

Walking with Lin Xiao to the gate of the Lin Mansion, Lin Yuxi stood still.

"Laba today, why don't you really go in and finish the porridge?"

Lin Yuxie shook his head.

Lin Xiao still refused to give up: "It's been three years, and the relationship with my father and mother has eased a little, right?"

"I'll tell you something later. ”

"There's something in your words. ”

"Come in, Xue Yao is going to freeze. ”

"Hey~" Lin Xiao sighed, "Okay, you will always go home for the Chinese New Year this year, right?"

Going home, Lin Yuxi hadn't heard anyone say this for a long time, nodded immediately, and quickly said: "Look, look at the case of the camp and the government office, if there is an activity at that time, maybe you will have to be on duty." ”

"Okay, then try to go home for a reunion when the time comes, and I'll go first with Xue Yao in my arms. ”

Lin Yu nodded, kissed Xue Yao's white and tender little face, and gave Lin Xiao a big hug, and then reluctantly left.

——————

"Dad, this is going to retire. ”

In the front yard of the lobby, Lin Xiao looked at his father Lin Dong from a distance and was playing chess with Lin Xiaoliu again, and complained unconsciously.

"The young master is back. Yingdong shouted, and Zhao Mei and Lin Xiao, who were pacing anxiously, looked at each other and hurried over.

"I said it's okay, what's the hurry. Lin Dong said casually and continued to focus on chess.

When Zhao Mei approached, it was a storm of words, accusing Lin Xiao of not going home directly after picking up the little sister and not saying anything, and so on, Xue Yao was also woken up in a daze at this time, and was taken away by the old lady, and said while walking: "Yaoyao, how did you sleep, Mom will give you a bath." ”

"I want my brother to wash me. ”

"Dead girl, how can there be a reason for my brother to wash you, I'm ashamed to die. Zhao Mei roared softly, Xue Yao was already silent, just pouted, with a look of loss and grievance, looked at Lin Xiao farther and farther, and waved her hand.

Outside the wing room, Lin Xiao saw that the little junior sister's room was still lit with candles, and at this time she brought three bowls of laba porridge, and entered the house after answering the door.

"Senior brother, where have you been all day, and why did you come back?"

Listening to Yudie casually asking, Lin Xiao glanced at Xixi first, her expression was better, not as sad as yesterday, and both of them were reading some ancient poetry books at the table.

"I went to pick up my sister in the country, and then went to sit with my sister for a while. Lin Xiao said, put the wooden plate on the table, and handed the porridge to the two little sisters.

"Do you still have a sister and a sister?" Xixi was surprised, as for Yudie, she was not so surprised, Lin Xiao often mentioned family matters to her on weekdays.

"Uh-huh. ”

"I want to see your sister. ”

"I'm going to take a shower, I'll see you tomorrow. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xixi pouted: "It's not interesting." ”

The winter nights are a little cold, and even though there is a stove in the wing, the wooden floor is still a little chilly, and a bowl of hot porridge is much better.

After all, the two little junior sisters were guests at home, Lin Xiao wanted to take care of them more, and before the two of them finished drinking the hot laba porridge, they first called two buckets of hot water, brought some flower soap from Jiangnan, and gave the two little junior sisters bubble Jio, such a good senior brother, even if they queue up to get the number, they have to grab it.

Accompanied by the two little sisters, they chatted briefly again, until Yudie yawned, Lin Xiao said goodnight to the two, took a shower after leaving the room, and went back to the room to lie down and fall asleep.

I didn't know how long I slept when I suddenly heard a sound of the door opening, Lin Xiao half-got up and looked at the door, it turned out to be Xue Yao, who was wearing pajamas in the middle of the night, holding the white stuffed teddy bear, and actually ran over from her room alone.

"What's the matter, little sister?" Lin Xiao looked at in a daze, her voice a little hoarse because of her dry throat.

"I want my brother to accompany me. As she spoke, Xue Yao dragged a pair of floral cloth shoes, trotted to Lin Xiao's bedside, climbed into the bed, directly hugged the bear in her arms, lay on Lin Xiao's chest and asked softly:

"Are you going back to the mountains tomorrow? ”

"The day after tomorrow. ”

"Then you'll have to stay with me tomorrow. ”

"Okay~ Who made Xue Yao Lin Xiao's little sister. ”

As soon as Lin Xiao said this, Xue Yao already laughed.

Hearing Xue Yao's long sigh of relief, she seemed to be relieved a lot, hugged the little bear, and gradually fell asleep on Lin Xiao's chest.

Lin Xiao squinted half-awake until Xue Yao was breathing steadily and had been asleep for a long time, then she lit the lantern, picked her up, and walked towards her own room.

After coming to Xue Yao's room, Lin Xiao slowly put Xue Yao on the bed, put the white plush bear next to her pillow, and carefully covered the quilt for her.

When I took a closer look with a lantern, I found that the walls were full of watercolors, red, green, blue, and all kinds of colors, and they were all portraits of big heads, big eyes, big noses, and big mouths.

All watercolors have the same name - brother.
