After the death of Du Hong and Fan Qingyan, all the property in their names was confiscated, but after Chi Feng passed away, the share he left to Tongtong was not moved, and the original one was temporarily kept by Du Hong.

Tang Jingcheng looked at the little girl in the photo, her thin figure, immature face, her timid expression at Chi Feng's memorial service still Tang Jingcheng remembers.

"A very sensible child, but unfortunately his parents had an accident."

"Accident?" Guan Luo snorted, "The deaths of Chi Feng and Fan Lili are not accidents. ”

"What did you say?" Tang was shocked.

If Chi Feng was not an accident, Tang Jingcheng could understand a little, after all, he was from Jiurongtai, there were so many things happening at that time, and he had kidnapped himself and Lou Qingxiao, saying that he had an "accident" and fell from the roof of the building when the police raided him, and probably few people believed it.

But why is Fan Lili not an accident?

Tang Jingcheng looked at Guan Luo in disbelief, and the latter had sadness and indifference in his eyes.

The moonlight is cold. It seems to be able to see those ugly truths through people's eyes.

"Do you want to hear why Fan Lili died?"

"I don't listen, I don't want to listen, and I don't need to listen." Tang Jingcheng resolutely covered her ears, she felt that she had buried too many sad things in her heart, and she didn't want to add another one.

If you don't listen, you don't know, and if you don't know, you don't know if nothing happened.

"I'd rather believe it was an accident."

Tang Jingcheng was sure that the car Fan Lili was sitting in really accidentally overturned on the mountain road, and was not persecuted because of some ulterior motives.

Seeing her like this, Guan Xiao smiled bitterly and took away the hand covering her ear.

"Okay, do whatever you say!"

"So what's not? She's just a woman who has no power to resist, she hasn't hurt anyone, and she hasn't thought about anyone's life, but she accidentally met Chi Feng and became his woman, why did anyone have to take her life? And the unborn child, the child is not guilty, why don't you leave him a chance at all? ”

Tang Jingcheng's emotions suddenly became a little excited.

Guan Luo took her hand, took her into his arms and sat down, and hugged her tightly.

"This world is like this, many people don't like to follow the rules, people's hearts are different, and it's useless for you to complain."

Tang Jingcheng listened to the slightly low voice in his ear, and buried his face in his chest.

Guan Luo touched the top of her smooth head with his hand, took a breath, and asked, "Then are you afraid?" ”

Tang Jingcheng was silent for a while, and after a long while, she used her newly recovered right hand to tightly grasp Guan Luo's fingers.

"Are you afraid it will work?"

“… Probably. Useless! ”

"Then there's nothing to be afraid of, it's useless to be afraid anyway!"

Guan Xiao smiled bitterly, this girl has her own set of logic in her heart.

"By the way, you plan to leave Tongtong alone in Yunnan?"

"How else?"

"You can take it, it's okay to bring the house, it's more reassuring to keep it around, anyway, it's a big place here, and you can be a companion with Axi."

Guan slightly kissed the top of her hair and shook her head: "Not good." After all, this is the place of Jiurongtai. Ah Xi has no choice, if he is able-bodied, I won't keep him by his side, but Tongtong is different, she is still young, and she is a girl, so it is better to go anywhere than to stay in Jiurongtai. ”

All the arrangements made by Guan Luo had his own considerations, who said that this man was rough, he just had too many things pressed on his shoulders.

Tang Jingcheng glanced up at him, hugged his neck and rubbed it into his arms.

"I see."

She should understand his good intentions. Some places can be avoided, Tongtong left here to live alone, and it will be the life of an ordinary girl in the future.

Ya Yu stayed in Yunnan for more than half a month, and spent the first week doing the things that Guan Luo told him to do, and the rest of the time he stayed at home.

The stockade hidden in the mountains at the junction of China and Myanmar is simple, industrious, and peaceful.

At the end of June, Ya Lan returned to Yunling from Yunnan, and as soon as he came back, he went to the house to see Tang Jingcheng, and brought special products from his own village.

Tang Jingcheng was very happy and touched his head: "I know that my sister didn't hurt you in vain!" ”

Ya Yu was still the same, and he blushed when he was made by Tang Jingcheng, and he leaned back.

Tang Jingcheng teased him even more.

"Show my sister, why is it so dark?"

Ya Yu smiled and rubbed his face with his hand: "The mountains are windy and wild." ”

I went back and blew for most of the month, and there seemed to be several folds on my face, but my spirit looked good, especially the big eyes, which were black and bright, and energetic, and there seemed to be joy in them that couldn't be hidden.

Tang Jingcheng saw him like this, and knew that there must be something good going back.

"Yayu, tell Sister Tang how it feels to go back this time?"

"It's good."

"Who did you go back to see?"

"My Abba and my mother, and a few brothers from the village."

"Oh, that's it?" Tang Jingcheng frowned and looked at it, "I haven't seen anyone else?" ”

Ya Yuan bowed his head for a moment, refusing to speak again.

Tang Jingcheng liked to see him suffocated and ashamed the most, and raised his leg and kicked him: "Speak, who else have you seen?" ”

"No... I didn't see it..."

"The daughter-in-law who lies has to run away with others,"

“……”

"Come, let's talk!" Tang Jingcheng was very curious about what kind of girl Yalan would look for, and stared at it vigorously and asked, but Yalan refused to say anything.

The two of them knocked in the house for a while, but in the end, Ya Yuan couldn't stand it, so he took out something from his pocket and handed it to Tang Jingcheng.

"Aga said it was for you."

Tang Jingcheng pursed his lips and smiled, but he didn't take what he was holding, and only asked, "Who is Ajia?" ”

Ya Yu sulked her head and stopped talking, holding back her strength to stuff the things in her hand into Tang Jingcheng's arms.

"Take it out and take a look!"

Tang Jingcheng couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw his suffocation.

What Ya Cheng stuffed over was a crimson burlap bag, tied with a drawstring at the closure, Tang Jingcheng tore the drawstring open, and poured out a string of beads from it, with all kinds of small shells, carved silver sheets and small beads, which looked rough, but Ding Zero was strung together to look quite distinctive.

"You did it?"

Ya Yu immediately scratched her head and smiled: "I'm not so coincidental." It was made by Aga, she asked me to bring it to you, and the shells on it were all picked up by Aga himself and drilled holes, saying that it was a doll that could bless you and Brother Jiu. ”

"Is it really so smart? Then I'm going to wear it. ”

Tang Jingcheng hung the bead string around his neck and asked Yayu, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Ya Yuan nodded vigorously: "Good-looking!" ”

"Is Sister Tang good-looking or Ajia good-looking?"

As a result, Ya Yu stopped talking again, her face was flushed, half paid, and scratched the top of her head: "... Still Aga is good-looking! ”

Tang Jingcheng: "......"

As soon as Guan Luo entered the door, he heard Tang Jingcheng's sharp voice from the back hall: "Get out!" ”

Ya ran out of the courtyard with a roar, just in time to collide with Guan Luo.

"Ninth Brother ......"

"What are you running?"

Ya Lan blushed. Panting, hehe, he ran around the switch and disappeared slightly.

Guan Luo was inexplicable, stood in place for a while and walked to the back hall, and before he entered the door, an orange flew out of the living room, thanks to his agility and fastness.

"What's going on?"

Guan Luo entered, Tang Jingcheng sat on the sofa with his stomach in his arms, and glared at him: "It's nothing!" ”

Is this called nothing?

The girl wants to crush her teeth, is this called nothing?

Guan Luo walked around to the front of the sofa: "Ya Yu provoked you?" ”

"Nope!" Make matters worse by attempting a coverup.

Guan slightly hooked his lips and laughed, raised his hand and swept Tang Jingcheng's hair: "Ability, Ya Yu actually had the audacity to make you angry when he went home?" ”

When he said this, Tang Jingcheng was even more angry, and it was a little difficult to get up on his stomach for almost four months, but his legs were quite flexible, and he kicked Guan Luo's knee when he raised his leg.

"I want to die, I think differently, and I talk flatteringly! You men are all virtuous! ”

Guan Luo: "......"

It seems that the kid has provoked Tang Jingcheng a lot this time, Guan slightly bent down to cover his aching knees, and he has to go to Ya Yu tomorrow to settle accounts!

In July, Yunling is in the middle of summer. The hundreds of ginkgo trees at the gate of Guan's house have grown luxuriantly, and every day after dinner, Guan Luo will accompany Tang Jingcheng to walk on that road, and sometimes push Ah Xi to go with him, listen to the birds, and smell the smell of the leaves blown by the wind.

The days passed like a fully stretched breath.

In mid-July, Guan Luo and Tang Jingcheng officially set off for Myanmar.

At that time, the child in Tang Jingcheng's womb was exactly seventeen weeks old, with a big belly, but his movements were still very flexible.

The two flew from Yunling to Yunnan first, and arrived in Kunming in the afternoon of the same day, very boring tricks, and actually went to the train station to eat KFC at the first meal in Kunming.

Tang Jingcheng hadn't eaten these junk foods for a long time, and ordered Coke, chicken wings, burgers, and egg tarts, plus a family bucket.

Guan Luo couldn't stop it, and in the end she could only condone it, her appetite that night was so good that she ate almost a whole family bucket by herself.

On the second day, we went to Tengchong as planned. In order to satisfy Tang Jingcheng's desire to take a minibus, and at the same time to take care of the child in her belly, Guan Luo first drove her to Baoshan, and then took a bus from Baoshan to Tengchong.

In the past two years, Tengchong's tourism industry has developed better and better, there are more tourists, the government has spent money to repair all the mountain roads, and the bus is not as bumpy as a few years ago, but the scenery outside the window still seems to be the same.

Mountains, forests, hills, exposed soil layers and cliffs, but the wind blowing in from outside is very hot, carrying the humidity that is customary in the mountains.

The bus turned a corner on the mountain road and saw a blue warning sign erected on the edge of the cliff in front of it - "Accident-prone area, please slow down!" ”。

Tang Jingcheng leaned on Guan Luo's shoulder and asked with a smile, "Do you remember where you were in front?" ”

The corners of Guan Luo's lips hooked: "Remember!" ”

"Did that person come back to life?"

"Hmm."

"That's good, I tore off a scarf for you at the time!"

Guan Luo: "......"

This girl really remembers everything, how many years ago this happened, and she still has to keep the account of a scarf with him.

In the evening, the two stayed in Tengchong.

The Hidden Red Dust Inn many years ago has long been missing, but the original site of the Hidden Red Dust Inn has built a Qing bar, connecting the bars and small cafes that used to exist next to it to become a bustling commercial street.

That night, Tang Jingcheng and Guan Luo stayed in an inn opposite the original hidden red dust, the inn was very distinctively decorated, and the hardware facilities were also good, at least each room had air conditioning and a separate bathroom.

After checking in, Tang Jingcheng immediately took a shower, washed away all the sticky stinky sweat and dust, changed into a loose skirt and went out to forage for food.

It was nearly night, and the sky was getting dark, so the two of them found a special local restaurant on the street in front of the inn.

Guan Xiao ordered a few light dishes, and threw the menu to Tang Jingcheng: "Look at it again, add what you want to add yourself, save yourself from saying I'm stingy in the future!" ”

Tang Jingcheng bit his chopsticks and snorted, in fact, this man is really cautious.

She took the menu and scanned it: "That's it, enough for two people." ”

"Is that enough?"

"Well, that's enough!"

In the past few years, she has not only restrained her temper, but also her mouth has improved a lot.

Guan Xiao glanced at her with some disbelief, added another soup by himself, and then said, "It seems that you are not as particular as before?" ”

Tang Jingcheng put down the chopsticks in his mouth. took a sip of water: "Well, if I was still as particular as before, it is estimated that I would have starved to death when I was recuperating in Myanmar." ”

Guan Luo: "......"

After dinner, the two walked back to the inn from the restaurant along the road, and some small bars on both sides of the street were open, and the colorful neon lights were lit up.

"It looks more lively than it was four years ago."

"In recent years, Tengchong tourism has become a hot spot."

The Chinese also like to join in the fun, once a place is on fire, all push and run there.

Guan Luo took off his shirt and draped it on Tang Jingcheng's shoulders, and suddenly asked a question: "Did you enter the bar on this street that time?" ”

Tang Jingcheng nodded: "It seems to be in front, why don't you go and take a look?" ”

The two of them walked to the door of the bar, a very small storefront, the lights inside were dimmed, and it didn't look like a serious place.

Guan slightly grinded his teeth: "Did you take the initiative at that time, or did the man come to you?" ”

"Looks like he came looking for me." Tang Jingcheng probably recalled, "Yes, he accosted me first, probably knowing that I don't have much alcohol on me, so he came over and took the initiative to invite me to drink."

"As a result, I drank and went to your room?"

Tang Jingcheng glared: "It's not that you were too stingy to give me that little money, otherwise I wouldn't have talked to strangers for two glasses of wine!" ”

When she turns around, she always has an excuse to rely on Guan Liu.

Guan glanced at her: "You're blind." That kind of man is clearly hunting in the night market! ”

Every time she thought of her being alone in the room with a man with her bare legs, Guan Luo hated itchy, thanks to her putting Qiu Qiguan's urn on the bedside table at that time, probably Qiu Qiguan didn't want to see her so willing to fall.

"Okay, okay, I'm looking for you blindly!" Tang Jingcheng hurriedly grabbed Guan Luo's arm, and the two walked side by side, casting a tall and a short figure on the stone road of the old street.

On the second day, Guan Luo was woken up by the sound of footsteps in the hallway of the inn, and he rolled over on the bed, only to throw his arm in the air.

There was no one on the pillow next to him.

"Tang Jingcheng?"

He got out of bed with a clean vest and pants, grabbed his mobile phone and was about to make a call, when the doorbell rang outside.

He ran over and opened the door.

"Is it pretty?"

The girl outside the door turned around in the aisle, the scene seemed to be a few years ago, she also appeared at the door of Guan Luo's room in such a hurry early in the morning, circled, and asked him, "Is it good-looking?" ”

The only difference is that the girl in front of her now has a stomach, while the girl back then had a cigarette in her mouth.

Guan slightly raised his hand to support his forehead: "It's good-looking." ”

"Thank you!"

"Rented from the photo studio across the street?"

"Of course not!" Tang Jingcheng put his hand in his skirt pocket, "I have enough money with me this time, let's go, go out with me!" ”

“……”

The two finished breakfast at a nearby restaurant, each with a bean flour and a snack, and then went to visit the old street after they were full.

The old street seems to be the same as it was four years ago, there are not many tourists in the morning, the morning mist is scattered with the thin light of a midsummer morning, and the bluestone slabs on the ground are covered with a layer of dew from last night, becoming dark and shiny.

Tang Jingcheng shuttled through the crowd in that "strange costume", and Guan Luo sometimes wondered if her belly for more than four months was real, and why she was still so energetic.

"Hi. Remember the store in front of you? Tang Jingcheng pointed to the store not far away, the door seemed to have changed, but the furnishings inside were still the same.

Guan Luo immediately remembered that it was the small shop that sold local crafts.

"Let's go inside!"

Tang Jingcheng walked in first, and Guan Luo followed behind.

The shop is still very messy, and there are all kinds of colorful handicrafts on the walls, cabinets, and ropes hanging from above. However, it may be because it is still early, there are only two or three customers in the store, and the two little girl-like clerks have no intention of entertaining them, and are sitting behind the cash register fiddling with their mobile phones.

It was good that no one entertained him, Tang Jingcheng walked freely through the crowded small shop, wearing this for a while, and trying that for a while.

Guan didn't move, and followed her behind, but saw her stop in front of a row of pendant cabinets.

Guan Luo walked over.

Inside the cabinet are colorful beads, and on the side are small pieces of paper written what nouns such as "beeswax", "agarwood", "coral" and so on.

"Like these?"

Tang Jingcheng nodded, picked a string from it and hung it around his neck, maybe he didn't think it looked good, so he changed another string, and when he changed to the third string, a clerk finally came over.

"Miss, do you want to buy beads?"

Tang Jingcheng responded: "I don't know which one is suitable?" ”

"Then let me introduce you." The clerk took a string of yellow beads in his hand, "This string is beeswax, one of the varieties of amber, one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, which has the effect of driving away evil spirits and keeping peace, and long-term wear can also refresh and calm the nerves..."

"There is also this string of small-leaved red sandalwood, the texture is hard, but there is a perennial fragrance on it, and now girls wear red sandalwood a lot."

"Then there is the string on your right, that is the thousand-eyed Bodhi, there is ......"

The clerk enthusiastically introduced Tang Jingcheng, Tang Jingcheng twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, and carried the string around his neck.

"What is this?"

"Pink quartz, but it doesn't seem like a good fit for you to wear."

"Why?"

The clerk glanced at Guan Luo, and then at Tang Jingcheng's obviously bulging belly: "You think you should be pregnant, right?" ”

"Well, is there any way to say it?"

"Yes, pink quartz is also called love stone, which is generally bought by single girls to attract peach blossoms."

"Really?"

"Yes, that's true!"

Tang Jingcheng immediately bit his finger, and the clerk smiled: "So this pink quartz is not suitable for you." Why don't you take a look at the beeswax, and if you don't think the color of this skewer is good, I'll get you a better one. ”

Guan Luo didn't say anything for a while, he didn't understand this, he just casually carried the various colored beads in the cabinet, and also felt that the beeswax was the most suitable, mainly because the beeswax has the effect of calming the mind and keeping peace.

"Then you go get a better skewer."

"Great!" The clerk touched the key and was about to get it, but was called back by Tang Jingcheng.

"You don't need to take it, just this skewer. How much? ”

The clerk was stunned for a moment: "Do you really want to?" ”

"If you really want to, just tell me how much, right?"

"That's... Cheap for you, nine hundred! ”

"Six hundred, it's auspicious!" Tang Jingcheng patted Guan Luo next to him: "Ask him to collect money!" Then he happily wore the string of pink diamonds that could attract peach blossoms and left, and Guan Luo stood in place with a dark face.

"Come back!"

Tang Jingcheng didn't care about him, and he had already walked out of the store in a blink of an eye.

Guan Luo wanted to chase after him, but the two clerks behind him grabbed him: "Eh! Sir, you haven't paid yet! ”

Guan slightly grinded his teeth in anger, what is this called!

When Guan Luo finished paying the money and went out, Tang Jingcheng had already run away.

Guan was so anxious that he ran around, took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call, when he heard someone shouting behind him: "Hey, I'm here!" ”

He turned.

At dawn, Tang Jingcheng stood in front of a small shop, behind him was a mottled white wall and a wooden door with a few cracks.

She was dressed in a white dress and a numb red dress, her half-length hair was braided into many whips, and a small piece of silver fell from the top of her forehead, and she leaned against the wooden door. With his hands behind his back, the string of pink quartz he had just bought hung on his chest, and there was something hanging under the pink quartz.

In that trance, there was light and shadow in an instant.

Many years ago, Tang Jingcheng seemed to be wearing such clothes and wandering around this quaint old street, leaning against the old wall and door, calling him through the morning light.

"Hey, I'm here!"

Guan Luo walked over.

Tang Jingcheng was half-squinted by the light, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Guan Luo directly: "How is it?" ”

Guan Luo's eyes were in a trance, and he reached over and picked up the dagger she hung under the pink quartz, and the knife sleeve was inlaid with these many broken jade.

"Still kept?"

"Keep it all the time!"

Guan Luo smiled, raised his other hand, and gently pinched Tang Jingcheng's chin: "Good girl! ”

The two stayed in Tengchong for three days, two days to wander around, and the last day to stay at the inn to repair, after all, Tang Jingcheng was more than four months pregnant, and she was afraid that she would not be able to bear it for days.

It's just that the morning before leaving, Guan Luo accompanied Tang Jingcheng to Ginkgo Village.

The village is still the same, and there are many tourists, but it does not affect the peace and tranquility of the local villagers.

also went to the courtyard that Su Zhan gave Tang Jingcheng before, but the courtyard was no longer able to enter, and a seal was posted at the door.

The river behind the courtyard is still there, and a small wooden bridge has been built over the river for tourists to cross, probably because of the bridge, and the originally undeveloped village on the other side of the river has become a tourist attraction.

In less than a year, every minute and every second, the world does not stop.
