The three of Namggyi corrected and rested for a day and a night before leaving here, and as soon as they went downstairs, they saw the group of people sitting around the table chatting and gossiping.

Nanzhi remembered the situation last time, and immediately grabbed Xuan He's arm, pretended to be intimate, and walked down side by side with him.

When those people saw this scene, they smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Nanzhi also greeted them with a slight smile, and then left the inn.

Xuan He looked at her with such a relieved look, as if she was not so cautious in the face of the enemy.

"Let's hurry up, this town is so amazing, I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, I will see people like this in the future."

Xuan He smiled, "That's good, you see they care about us!" "Although it is not a misunderstanding, it is also thanks to them, and I know a lot of secret things that I have never heard of.

Nanzhi said as he walked, "I know they mean well, but it's too scary. Nanzhi shook his shoulders as he spoke, as if he remembered that scene and felt uncomfortable.

Seeing her cute appearance, Xuan He also liked her very much, and especially wanted to hold someone in his arms and rub her round head, but he just thought about it, he didn't dare to do it on the street, for fear of being chased and beaten by Nanzhi.

The weather has gradually become colder, although all the way to the south, but it is still a little cold, Nanzhi pulled Xuanhe to the street to buy a few cloaks and winter clothes, in order to be able to rush back early, a few people set off on the road without much delay, and arrived at the foot of Mount Meru in less than three days.

Mount Meru is at a high altitude and the mountain is already covered with snow, making it look like a little old man with a furry hat.

It was already afternoon when I arrived at Mount Meru, and the time of the mountain was afraid that it would be dark, so Nanzhi simply stopped at the foot of the mountain.

"Xuanhe, I want to find someone, but I'm afraid." Nanzhi took out the urn from the car, and Xuan He understood that she was probably looking for Sang Yu's mother.

"It's okay, I'll go with you, I think it's more important, can you still find where Sang Yu's family is?"

Nanzhi was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes and thought for a while, "You should know, there is a big ginkgo tree in front of her house." ”

"That's good, let's go now, maybe we can spend the night at her house." Xuan He said that he wanted to end the box in Nanzhi's hand, afraid that she would get tired if she held it.

"Give me the box, I'll hold it for you, you come and find your way."

Nanzhi shook his head and changed the box in the crook of his arm, "No need, I'm not tired, I said that if I want to bring Sang Yu back, I will send people back with my own hands." So saying, he turned and went to look for the house.

"Have you figured out what to tell her mother?" Xuan He followed Nanzhi, did she want to tell her mother that Nanzhi killed Sang Yu.

Nanzhi sighed, she had thought of many excuses along the way, but she never knew how to talk to her mother. Four years ago, when she left with someone, Sang Yu's mother was very reluctant, and she still remembers the tearful appearance very clearly, because she has no mother since she was a child, so she is always deeply impressed by this scene.

"I don't know, I'll see when the time comes, I, I don't want to lie to her."

Xuan He took Nanzhi's hand and squeezed it, "It's okay, she will forgive you, after all, it's not all your fault." ”

Nanzhi looked at him and nodded slightly.

Walking through a small road at the entrance of the village, I turned around and saw the ginkgo tree, full of golden, all the colors of late autumn, very dazzling.

Nanzhi remembers that the tree when she was a child was not as stunning as it looks now, but she didn't expect it to be so dazzling in seven years.

Nanzhi paced to the door, took a deep breath, and knocked on the courtyard door.

"Who?"

When Nanzhi heard a woman's voice, his heart suddenly became nervous, and he couldn't help but clench Xuan He's hand tightly.

The courtyard door was opened, and a middle-aged woman dressed plainly and lightly dressed walked out, she looked at the two young people at the door with some confusion, and suddenly exclaimed, "Princess Nanzhi!" ”

Seeing that she recognized herself, Nanzhi hurriedly stepped forward to help the woman who was about to kneel, "A-Niang doesn't need to be like this. "When they didn't know Nanzhi's identity when they were children, Nanzhi followed Sang Yu and called her A-Niang.

"Oops!" The old woman took Nanzhi's hand and looked at the person in front of her in surprise, "How many years have it been, Nanzhi has grown up!" ”

"Yes, A-Niang!" Nanzhi saw that the old woman already had gray hair on her head and a lot of wrinkles on her skin, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour, this has only been seven years, how can she age so fast.

"Where's Sangyu?"

Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and finally asked this question. Nanzhi looked up at the old woman looking at her expectantly, and kept looking for Sangyu's figure behind her.

"Auntie, let's go talk first, okay?"

The old woman looked stunned, looked at Nanzhi's embarrassed look, and saw what Nanzhi was holding in her hand, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Good! Seeing that I forgot with joy, come on, come in and sit. ”

Nanzhi walked into this familiar courtyard again, and all the memories came flooding up for a while, Nanzhi looked at everything in the small courtyard in a daze, as if nothing had changed, and everything was still the same as before.

"Come in and sit, or sit in the yard." The woman hurriedly stepped forward and wiped down a few stone benches under the ginkgo tree.

Nanzhi stepped forward and put the box on the table, "A-Niang, I have something to tell you." ”

The woman stopped what she was doing, got up and looked at Nanzhi gently, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll go pour you a glass of water first, you must be thirsty after walking so far, I ......"

"Auntie!" Nanzhi stepped forward and took the woman's hand, which was rough and cold. "I don't drink water, can you sit here, listen to me first." Namzhi pressed the man on a stool.

"Okay, I'll sit here, Namgyyi."

Nanzhi looked at the old woman still looking at him so gently, and the words were all blocked in his throat, and he couldn't speak anymore.

"It's Sangyu!" Madame looked at Nam Zhi and said suddenly.

Nanzhi looked up at her suddenly, only to see the person in front of him looking at him with a faint expression, and there were no waves or marks on his face.

"I'm sorry I didn't take care of her." Nanzhi held the woman's hand and squatted down, not daring to look at the woman's eyes.

The old woman didn't say a word, for a long time, she raised her hand and touched Nanzhi's head, "It's okay, don't be so sad, it's none of your business, it's this girl's blessing." ”

When Namji looked up, he saw that the woman had closed her eyes, leaving a tear in her eyes.

"Master Xuanci has said a long time ago, Sang Yu, this girl, will not live long, so I have long known that there will be such a day." The old woman patted Nanzhi's hand, "Sang Yu has caused you trouble, it must be yes, I know that this girl, from the day I picked her up, I knew that she would definitely leave me one day." ”

The old woman choked up, raised her hand to her mouth, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

When Nanzhi heard her say this, she didn't expect that the master would already know what would happen later, and seeing the woman's painful appearance, she could only stand up and hug the woman's waist to comfort her.

The old woman buried the urn of Mulberry Elm under the ginkgo tree, and buried it so well that she didn't even stand a monument, and it looked like it was no different from other places, and she didn't want a grave at all.

Namgyg didn't understand why the woman was doing this.

"I know what Sang Yu has done wrong, so I don't erect a monument for her, so only I know where she is buried, and others won't come to trouble her." The woman sprinkled the fallen ginkgo leaves on the place where the bones were buried, then stood up and looked at the place quietly for a long, long time.

When Nanzhi saw her like this, she felt extremely uncomfortable, and she could cry when she was sad, but why didn't A-Niang cry, she was obviously very uncomfortable.

"A-Niang," Nanzhi stepped forward and helped the person to the stool, "Is it okay for you to go with me, come back to the capital with me, and I will take care of you." ”

When he was seven years old, Sang Yu's father was killed by the enemy in debt, and since then, only Sang Yu and his mother have been left to rely on each other. took Sang Yu away by herself, and she was left alone at home, and now that Sang Yu is dead, there is really only A-Niang left.

"Nope." A-Niang patted Nanzhi's hand, still gentle as a spring breeze, "I want to stay here, I've lived here all my life, and I don't want to leave again, besides, now that Sang Yu is back, I'm not alone." I'm going to keep her company. ”

Nanzhi just wanted to persuade again, but A-Niang interrupted her, "Nan-zhi, I also grew up watching you grow up, can you promise A-Niang one thing?" ”

"A-Niang, you said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely complete it."

A-Niang smiled and touched Nanzhi's cheek, "I, I haven't had any children of my own in my life, so I treat Sangyu and you as my own children, and now that Sangyu is gone, I just hope you can be healthy and happy." ”

Nanzhi instantly felt that his eyes were a little hot, this was really the warmest words he had heard in a while.

"Auntie, I know." Nanzhi rested his head on A-Niang's knees, crying silently.

A-Niang stroked Nanzhi's hair, again and again, "Sang Yu followed you, it can be regarded as a happy life, and it is not a vain life, you are like sisters, you have to continue to live for her, live a happy life for two, happy for a lifetime, okay?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Xuan He who was standing aside, and stood quietly aside to accompany Nan Zhi from the beginning, Nan Zhi was also sad when he cried, and the woman had already seen through Xuan He's feelings for Nan Zhi.

"And this kid, I look very good, don't let down the people who have a heart."

Nanzhi raised his head, a little crying and laughing, holding tears while laughing, he could only raise his hand and wipe it indiscriminately, "A-Niang, don't worry, I won't let him down." ”

Xuan He's eyes lit up, and he looked at Nanzhi with a slight smile, the gentleness on his face was even gentler than the moonlight on Mount Meru.

Nanzhi looked up and saw this bright smile, and despite the tears still on his face, he couldn't help but laugh with him.
