Before the age of twelve, he was already a child, and he had to raise young little bean sprouts and little swallows. When he was twelve years old, he was just saving a refugee, but he never thought that three children would be sent to the door from then on. I can't believe it, Xiaokui was still an infant that year, how did he bring her up by himself? A promise made four years ago was said, and he kept it to this day, even if Xiaokui is seriously ill, he will never give up. The family was already overcrowded, and a year ago, they adopted a small sweet potato. On his own, he supported a family of eight, and in addition, he had to be busy catching the flower thief and saving her......

Li Xiangfeng, how did he do it?

Sitting there, Bai Bait was suddenly speechless, and at that moment, looking at Li Xiangyu in front of her, she seemed to know him again.

Looking around the scattered bamboo fence courtyard, she could imagine his daily life with the children in the past few years, as well as the construction of this minutiae.

She began to admire him a little, and it can be said that his greatness was better than everyone's, and she herself seemed even more insignificant, even a little ridiculous.

What's even more ridiculous is that when he said these words seriously, when he first told people the words that had been pressed in his heart for four years, she actually questioned him, and then rounded the scene with jokes.

At that moment, she could almost ignore all his imperfections, because he was perfect.

The first time she looked at him so soberly and seriously, she found that his clear eyes were soaked with all the beauty of the world, longing, and expectation, giving people a kind of hope and making people willing to believe in all the beauty of this world......

Seeing her staring at herself and almost crying, Li Xiangfeng couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it?" There's no need to worship me so much, right? Although I also think that what I have done before, and what I am doing now, is indeed great! But I'm a person who has always been a low-key person. ”

He was shy, and he looked like he wanted to talk, "Well, so, low-key, low-key......"

I saw her eyes hidden, and her bright eyes then smiled, as gorgeous as a mountain flower, "Li Xiang, you are less narcissistic." ”

"I'm not narcissistic, I'm just low-key, not obvious!"

The long eyelashes were lightly hidden, she buried her head, calmed down her inner emotions, and then raised her head and asked him seriously: "So, the children call you Fifth Brother because of ......"

"At first, it was the little lotus who called it that, and later, the other children followed suit. At that time, she was still young, and for a period of time after her fifth brother died, she always regarded me as his fifth brother, and in order to comfort her, I told her that I was her fifth brother. Later, she grew up a little more, and since then, she has become much more sensible. Me, her fifth brother, she can tell the difference. It's just that the fifth brother is used to calling her and doesn't want to change it. What's more, in her heart, she originally regarded me as a brother, so what does it matter what she calls me. ”

Since he talked about children, he continued to explain: "So, in order to respect and miss the fifth brother of the little lotus, the position of the eldest is the fifth brother in the real sense." Below the eldest is the second, followed by the third sister Little Lotus, the fourth little sweet potato, the sixth little bean sprouts, the seventh little swallow, the old eight big ears, and the eighth little Kui. ”

"The most disobedient one here is the second child, this child is very hard, but fortunately, the two girls of Little Lotus and Little Swallow are more worry-free. Usually I take the little lotus to the city to make money, because of the long distance, so we go out in the morning generally have to go back very late, if there are special circumstances, do not go back, the south of the city is the place where we temporarily settled. When I was away, the house was guarded by the second child and the little swallow, although the second child didn't listen to me much, but it was no problem to manage these children, and when I was away, the children were willing to listen to him. Little Swallow can cook, and I'm not afraid of children going hungry in the city. ”

Bai Bait could see that when he talked about these children, although there was helplessness in his words, there was a smile in his eyes when he spoke.

"So, it's not that I, Li Xiangyu, have a big heart and don't care about these children. In fact, our special family is sometimes quite helpless. Li Xiangyu suddenly raised his head, looked at the night sky, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, "Although they are still young, they have to learn to grow up." Who knows, one day I will suddenly stop mixing in this world, rely less on me, they will learn to take care of themselves earlier......"

"What are you talking about," Bai Bait couldn't help but push his hand, then lowered his head guiltily, and said: "Hey, Li Xiangyu, I didn't do it right to count you down in front of the children, and besides, I misunderstood you before, and it was also my fault." But you can't blame me for not being guilty......"

"How could I blame you, I'm grateful that you're too late." Li Xiangfeng smiled at her, couldn't help but take her hand, and said, "Sister,"

When that touch of temperature quietly touches ......

She raised her eyebrows in shock, looking at the scene on the wooden table, her heartbeat suddenly skipped, and the hand seemed not to be her own, so she was stunned twice before she unconsciously moved away from the wooden table and withdrew it under her body......

It seems that he has gone through a big dream, and when he first wakes up from the big dream, his mind is messed up, and he doesn't dare to look up at him at all.

Li Xiangyu suddenly realized something, and hurriedly stood up and explained, "I'm sorry!" I didn't mean to! I'm just-"

He was stunned, not knowing for a moment what he was.

couldn't help but bury his face and curse himself secretly in his heart: Li Xiangyu, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? This time, she has to be regarded as a disciple again......

Unexpectedly, she raised her head again, looked at him calmly, and asked, "What were you going to say just now?" ”

Li Xiangfeng was stunned, he didn't find anything to do with the bento, he was busy twice, and began to sit down, saying: "Just thank you for not worrying about the children, but also cooking for them, washing clothes, and tidying up the yard......"

Both of them unconsciously tied their hands under them.

She said: "It's just a gesture, anyway, I've been used to doing these things since I was a child, and it doesn't take much effort." ”

"Since childhood?" Isn't she the eldest lady, Li Xiangfeng couldn't help asking: "Why don't you do this yourself?" What about your family's servants? ”

"Servant? What servant? Bai Bait looked puzzled.

"Aren't you from the eldest lady?"

"Who told you that I was born as a young lady?" Is he really doing a whole drama in his head by himself? Bai Bait explained: "I am also a child from a poor family, how can I be as graceful and luxurious as you think." "Let's look for books

"Actually! I saw it early in the morning! Li Xiangyu didn't want to admit it, and said with a smile: "It used to be fun for you, hehe." ”

"By the way, Li Xiangfeng, I have one thing to ask you, this place is called Wanhua Forest, why did I walk here all afternoon and didn't see a single flower, and ah, you here, there is no normal road in and out?" Thinking of what happened to her in the evening, she wanted to doubt her life, and she tried all means to get out of this forest.

Li Xiangyu couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't help asking: "The Ten Thousand Flowers Forest is called the Ten Thousand Flowers Forest, does it have to be the whole forest full of flowers?" ”

"......" Bai Bait was suddenly dumbfounded, there is no flower called the Ten Thousand Flowers Forest, if she wants to see it, it is simply called the Flowerless Forest.

"Actually, Wanhua Forest also has a name, called Ghost Forest! The reason why you can't get around is normal, after all, people who enter here for the first time will be trapped here if they are not careful, and every year there are so many people who go missing in the woods and can't even find their bodies. Therefore, the people outside are afraid of this forest, and few people dare to approach, which is the origin of the ghost forest. As for the name Wanhualin, it should be deliberately chosen by the previous generations of Jianghu people. Li Xiangfeng explained.

She asked, "Aren't the children afraid of living in such a forest?" ”

"This forest is so scared of people outside, but there is nothing to be afraid of us living in the forest, I have lived here since I was a child, if there is a ghost or something, I can still live until now? As for the children, I usually teach them to fight monsters or something, and they are so brave that they are afraid of these. Li Xiangfeng said with a smile.

"No wonder they arrested me as a monster as soon as they saw me......," she thought in pieces, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "I guess, this is what you taught them." The child is so naughty, he must have learned from you! ”

Li Xiangfeng paused, and suddenly remembered the past when he took his children to run around in the woods......

She said it well, as if there was a reason for him......

He couldn't help but smile ashamedly, and continued: "Actually, people outside are afraid of here, so they don't dare to approach here, which is a good thing for us who live in the forest, no one disturbs, no one destroys here, here!" It's our paradise! ”

The evening breeze was blowing slowly, and she couldn't help but smile when she looked up at his child-like face.

Inadvertently, I glanced at the small bamboo house around me, everything was so beautiful, like the window flowers pasted on the window, like the snoring sound floating out of the window......

As the night deepened, Bai Bait said that he wanted to rush back to the Jinlong Inn, Li Xiangfeng offered to give her a ride, and before leaving, the two of them tiptoed into the children's room, covered them with quilts, and placed the dolls in their hands......

When leaving, Li Xiangyu had to pinch the face of the little bean sprouts, which almost woke up the child, and the two of them slipped away quickly with a grunt, and went out of the window together, and saw that the children were sleeping peacefully, so they left with confidence.

Along the way, dressed in the rich night and stepping on the rustling bamboo leaves, the two walked side by side and chatted a lot.

She asked, "If you say, I mean what if Little Lotus and the second child also have the same disease as Xiao Kui one day." ”

He said: "Actually, I have always kept the cause of their fifth brother's death from them, and they didn't know that their original relatives had this disease, so what they know is that Xiaokui was only sick by accident." I don't tell them, on the one hand, I can't be sure of their future happiness or misfortune, and on the other hand, I am afraid that if they know the truth, they will fear death. ”

"It's good that you chose not to tell them!" She stopped, looked at him suddenly, and said to him, "I believe that they must be lucky to meet you!" ”

He met her eyes, and there was determination in his eyes, "Let's believe together!" ”

When the needles in the sky fell slowly like petals, she also inadvertently asked: "Li Xiangyu, why are you so kind, didn't you say that people should be selfish." ”

He replied with a smile: "Before Lao Hualang died, he taught me a truth, in the face of an unkind world, you must be kind, because kind people will be lucky, for example, I met Lao Hualang, and the children met me." But you must not be kind to people who are not kind! ”

"No, you said so much, but I still think that this is completely contrary to what you said, people should be selfish!"

"Where? Blame yourself for not understanding well? ”

"I don't care! Say ......"

Xu is the evening breeze is too drunk, the night is too charming, just a little contamination, it teaches people to fall into it, she is like drinking a glass of spirits, half drunk and half awake, let it be absurd.

It's like going through a big dream, the people in the dream, the words in the dream, like fog around the flowers, so hazy.

"Li Xiangyu, explain it clearly, if you don't explain it clearly, I won't help you intercede in front of Boss Mei tomorrow, and you will be absent from work for two days without reason, and you will wait to be fired!"

"Ahh Don't, sister, you can't do this......"

She just chased and shouted and kept pestering him to ask, Li Xiangyu didn't understand why she was so obsessed with such a question, maybe only she knew that it was something she couldn't break free from since she left Qin Huai......

Bai Bait will always remember that bright moon night, that was the first time she really relaxed after a series of joys and sorrows and life and death parting.

Li Xiangyu will never forget that on that starry night and breezy night, he suddenly understood such a truth.

People should be selfish, but when you meet someone who is good to you, you should not hesitate.

The bright moon is in the sky, and in the forest of thousands of flowers, there is a dark fragrance, quietly floating......
