"Mei'er, don't scare your father-in-law. Your stepfather will take care of you and love you like your father and mother in the future. The stepfather promised that he would never break his promise this time. Yan Shizhen looked at Yun Shu's stunned appearance, and couldn't help but reach out to grab Yun Shu's wrist to probe the pulse.

Yun Shu collected her tears and said lightly: "Father-in-law, I'm fine, you can go and rest too, I want to go see my mother." ”

"Mei'er?" Looking at this stubborn little girl, Yan Shizhen felt bitter in his heart.

After the warm bitter medicine was put into her stomach, Yun Shu felt better, but she just lifted her feet to bed but felt that every step was like being stuck in a mire, she couldn't lift it heavily, and she couldn't lift her strength at all.

Yun Shu held on to the edge of the bed and exclaimed, "Father-in-law, why can't I use my strength in my legs and feet?" ”

"Mei'er, don't get out of bed yet." Yan Shizhen hurriedly put down the candied fruit, carefully carried her back to the bed, and covered the quilt. "You're so sad that you haven't eaten for another day, and now it's so late, if you don't eat something, your body will not be able to bear it. I'll ask Ziyun to bring you something to eat, and then I'll go see your mother, okay?" ”

The body really didn't have the strength, so Yun Shu nodded.

"Ziyun, Ziyun, bring dinner quickly, Mei'er wants to eat." Yan Shizhen shouted for the first time, with joy and something else in his voice. But Yun Shu didn't have the heart to think about this at that time, and when she thought of her mother, she felt heartache.

The kitchen was also prepared, and soon three dishes and one soup were placed on the small table and moved to the bed.

Yun Shu came back to her senses, looking at Yan Shizhen under the candlelight, her face was sad, she had long since lost the freedom of the hanging pot under the overpass a few days ago, but she still tried to comfort her with a smile. I couldn't bear to say in my heart: "Father-in-law, Mei'er made a mistake in his words just now, and he offended his father-in-law, don't take it to heart." ”

Yun Shu's appeasement made Yan Shizhen even more ashamed. Once this little girl is in a normal state, she will fall into a state of little adult that is difficult to reassure. "Mei'er, you didn't say anything wrong, you blame your father-in-law for his poor medical skills."

"In fact, before my father-in-law, several doctors told me that my mother's time was short, and I refused to give up, thinking that my father-in-law's name as a miracle doctor could give me more hope. After my father-in-law came, my mother's mental state was indeed better, which made me feel more hopeful. It's just that I can't accept this fact for a while, so I do that and say that. Yun Shu grabbed Yan Shizhen's big hand and said, "Please be relieved by my father-in-law, I don't blame you." ”

"Mei'er, it's even more distressing that you are so sensible. The future will be handed over to the father-in-law, you are young... Yan Shizhen couldn't speak, almost choked.

Yun Shu hugged his arm and said, "Mei'er will rely on his father-in-law in the future." My father-in-law has been busy all day, and he hasn't had time to eat yet, right? Just use some with me, okay? ”

Yan Shizhen hurriedly collected his emotions. "My father-in-law is out of shape, let's eat something quickly." said that he would pick up vegetables for Yun Shu.

Yun Shu said: "My father-in-law has also been busy for a day, so use more." As he spoke, he also wanted to raise his chopsticks to help Yan Shizhen pick up the dishes, but his hands trembled so much that the dishes were scattered on the table. I smiled bitterly in my heart, what's wrong with me?

Yan Shizhen saw that she couldn't hold the dishes, so she put the vegetables into Yun Shu's bowl, "What Mei'er wants to eat, my father-in-law will clip it for you." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law, I want to pick up vegetables for my father-in-law, but I don't know what's wrong, my hands are shaking badly."

Yan Shizhen put down his chopsticks, picked up Yun Shu's wrist and pressed it for a moment. "I've eaten, and I'll be fine in a while." Scanning the food on the table, "Why don't you use some chicken soup first?" With that, he handed Yun Shu a bowl and put it in front of her.

The chicken soup that has been stewed for a long time is slightly white, the greasy gas has also been reduced, and the flesh and bones have been peeled off, so it is not troublesome to use.

"Thank you, Father."

Yun Shu lowered her head and drank the soup silently, ate the vegetables, stopped talking, and felt her strength come back after using some food. He withdrew his meal and got up again. "Ziyun, help me dress, I'm going to the mourning hall."

"Mei'er, my father-in-law will accompany you, okay?"

"Okay." Yun Shu took his big hand, only to feel the warmth of his palm, "My father-in-law's hand is very warm." Yun Shu raised her head and smiled at Yan Shizhen, making people feel that she needed this warmth very much.

Yan Shizhen held Yun Shu's slightly cool little hand tightly in the palm of her hand, wanting to warm her little hand.

"Let's go."

"Hmm."

Two lonely people, one tall and one short, walked to the front yard in the dim twilight.

A few months ago, Yun Shu took her mother's hand and walked through the courtyard like this. At that time, the autumn wind was cold, and the courtyard was full of white, and they went to see their father together. A few months later, Yun Shu took her father-in-law's hand and walked through the courtyard, but she wanted to see her mother. The same mourning hall, offerings, and lanterns.

Li Ge never expected that Aunt Yun, who was still talking to him the day before, would die. He didn't have to go to school in the first month, he almost lived in the cloud house again, accompanied Yun Shu, and took care of him as considerate as possible.

Three days ago, Yun Shu cried and fainted again and again, and then she told Steward Meng that everything in the family would be as usual, and if there was anyone who couldn't make up his mind to discuss with his father-in-law, she would lock herself in Yun Jintong's study.

As soon as the New Year passes, the shallow spring breeze begins to fade the cold clothes, stirring in the south and north of the city, and everything gradually grows.

The cloud house was completely lonely, and everything was gorgeous, but it made this courtyard feel desolate.

Yun Shu rummaged through Yun Jintong's letter and the letterhead left by her mother, and began to look through the shelves full of books, trying to find an answer in them. What should she do? What to do? Her heart was full of ashes, and she was trying to find a support or she would go crazy.

When Yun Shu cried bitterly, Li Ge accompanied her beside her; After she cried and fainted, Li Ge guarded her in front of the bed; When Yun Shu locked herself in the study, Li Ge patiently persuaded her to eat some food under the porch; Yun Shu was reading those books in the study almost day and night, and he silently accompanied her outside the door.

Yan Shizhen persuaded Li Ge to take a rest, but Li Ge resolutely disagreed; persuaded Yunshu, but she didn't listen. Yan Shizhen saw that these two children were more crazy than the other, and he was helpless, why were children so stubborn? He was a father-in-law who was a monk halfway through, and he really didn't know how to relieve the child. Many times I can only go out and borrow wine to drown my sorrows.

One day, Yan Shizhen went out to drink again, and only got up late to go back, and he was already stumbling after drinking. At the corner of the alley, he bumped into a man in black clothes, who was carrying a big burden on his shoulders and walked so fast that he almost knocked Yan Shizhen, who was walking with his eyes closed, to the ground. He took a few steps back, leaning against the wall before he stood still, and couldn't help but raise his drunken eyes to glance at the man. I saw that the man was full of fierce faces, and he didn't want to apologize to him, so he bypassed him and continued to hurry.

Yan Shizhen finished drinking, he didn't play drunk, but his temper became better and better, and he didn't care, he lowered his head and teased his robe, and was about to take a step, but he caught a glimpse of a white velvet flower on the ground a few steps away. So familiar! These days, Yun Shu's head has been pinned, stimulating his nerves and making him feel ashamed of his poor medical skills all the time.

Yan Shizhen raised his head again, where is this? Isn't this the alley outside the Cloud House! Yun Shu locks herself in the study every day, how can Bai Velvet Flower be here? He was agitated and immediately sobered up. When I turned around and looked at the man in black, he was about to walk to the middle of the alley, and the huge burden was on his shoulders, strange and suspicious.

A gut told him that no matter what was in the man's baggage, he had to stop it or he would regret it. Vaguely remembering that he had just walked in from the other side of the alley, and there seemed to be a carriage parked next to him, he wondered how there could be a carriage parked in that corner at such a late hour. While thinking, I exerted strength under my feet and chased after him.

After all, the man in black carried an unstructured burden on his shoulders, and his speed of movement was limited. After a few columns, Yan Shizhen turned over and stood in front of the man in black.

When the man saw that the drunken ghost just now suddenly jumped out to block the way, he didn't know it well. Before Yan Shizhen could speak, the man slammed his fist straight into the door without mercy.

Yan Shizhen wanted to take the man's wrist and drag it back and fly up again, but the man was still carrying the burden and was reluctant to let it go. He had to change his moves, he grabbed the man's veins with precision, twisted the man's arm behind his back with a turn, raised his foot and kicked his knee socket, and snatched the huge burden from the man's shoulder when the man's center of gravity was unstable and he leaned forward.

The man knew that he was invincible, so he got up, scolded viciously, turned over and fled.

Yan Shizhen didn't chase it, and hurriedly opened the baggage, it was not another one inside, it was a small head, and then the burden was removed, he almost felt that an arrow had been shot in his heart, who was it not Yun Shu?

Yun Shu in the burden seemed to have fallen asleep, grabbed her wrist, probed her pulse, and brushed the hair on the back of her neck, a purple palm print. Such a heavy hand on a child! Yan Shizhen stripped off the burden and held it in his hand, hugged Yun Shu in his arms, and hurried towards the Yun family.

Yan Shizhen hugged Yun Shu and didn't go to the main gate, one jumped over, climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, seeing that the courtyard was dark, and everyone in the Yun Mansion had already slept, only the light in the study was still on, and he stepped under the corridor, but saw Li Ge lying on the ground.

Yan Shizhen introspected: Isn't he really a reliable person? Brother Qiyun has always believed in himself, in terms of medical skills, he can't save his wife, and in terms of care, he let his daughter be kidnapped, and he only cares about drinking to relieve boredom. If it weren't for the white velvet flower, I would be afraid that I would die and I would not have the shame to see Brother Yun again.

He hugged Yun Shu and kicked the housekeeper's door, and said coldly: "There are thieves in the house, why do you sleep so dead?" ”

Steward Meng is also tired these days, he sleeps deeply, and after being woken up, he didn't have time to put on his clothes neatly, so he hurriedly rushed into the yard, and saw Yan Shizhen holding a person in his arms, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Li Ge. Yan Shizhen had already put Yun Shu on the couch in the study, and came out to carry Li Ge who had fallen under the porch inside.

Steward Meng hurriedly approached and smelled Yan Shizhen's drunken body. "Mr. Yan, what's wrong?"

Yan Shizhen was angry, angry with himself and these people, but he was not the owner of the Yun Mansion after all, and Yun Shu had to rely on these people to deal with family affairs, so he had to restrain his temper and said coldly: "I came back from drinking, and I was hit by a man in black with a big burden on my shoulders in the alley, because I felt that the white velvet flower that fell to the ground was abnormal, I moved with the man, and grabbed the burden but saw that it was Mei'er!" When I came back, I saw that the door of the study was wide open, and Li Gongzi fell under the porch. Is there no one keeping vigil at home? Why do you sleep so deeply? ”
