At the end of the day, the back door of the Marquis of Xiaoyao's Mansion creaked open, and a dim lantern swayed out of the door.

It was already late autumn, and in the middle of the night, the wind blew the candles flickering, as if they would be extinguished in the next moment.

"That's it, let's go."

Ying Jiang whispered, obviously the person was around, but the voice seemed to float from the distant void.

Chu Huai'an tightened the lantern in his hand, bowed his head slightly in acquiescence, Yue Yan walked out from behind with a bowl, and sprinkled the blood in the bowl with a wicker branch on the road.

"A pure black dog? Just killed? ”

Ying Jiang asked, her tone was very pleasant, she hadn't smelled like this in many years.

Chu Huai'an didn't answer, and inserted the dagger that flashed with cold light into the scabbard.

When Su Li was away, the most indifferent and ruthless side of his whole person was revealed.

Ying Jiang turned his head to look at him, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved: "Do you really love her?" ”

“……”

Chu Huai'an pursed his lips and didn't answer, stepped forward and grabbed Ying Jiang's waist and carried the lantern forward.

Ying Jiang grabbed a handful of glutinous rice from his sleeve pocket and sprinkled it on the ground.

The rustling sound of rice falling to the ground sounded strange in such a quiet night.

"Let's go."

Ying Jiang said again, and Chu Huaian immediately took her forward.

The steps of the three of them were very light, and after walking like this for ten or so steps, the figures of the three of them were completely hidden in the darkness.

All that was left was the sporadic blood of dogs and the blackened glutinous rice.

……

"Chu Huai'an!"

A crisp female voice exploded in his ears, and Chu Huai'an subconsciously wanted to hold Yingjiang's waist, but he was empty.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a smiling face in my sight.

"A-Li?"

He muttered in his heart, but before he could make a sound, Su Li raised his hand and pushed him, and his consciousness was detached from his body.

He stood aside and saw Su Li, who was only fourteen or fifteen, and sixteen or seventeen.

Things are very strange, he should go to find Ying Jiang immediately, but this kind of picture is so attractive that Chu Huaian was reluctant to leave for a while.

Su Li was dressed in a silver-gray men's dress, with her hair tied up high, dressed as a man, and her face was full of confidence and calmness.

She spoke eloquently in front of him, speaking her own unique opinions, her eyes shining like stars, and when she looked at him, she hid two points of imperceptible shyness.

Ari ......

Chu Huai'an was fascinated, and the tenderness that had been ignored by him was clearly displayed in front of his eyes at this moment.

He reached out and wanted to touch Su Li's cheek, but saw himself yawning many years ago and impatiently pushed Su Li away.

"It's noisy, do you know that the master didn't sleep at all last night to help his sweetheart make lanterns?"

He likes Su Bangyue, this is a secret that cannot be declared, but when he is in front of Su Li, he can express his feelings without scruples.

At that time, he never thought about what this trust meant to him.

"What lantern, is it ready? Can you show me? Su Li asked eagerly, for fear of looking too abnormal, and added a cover-up: "Well, I can help you draw on it, I know what patterns the eldest sister likes." ”

"Of course it's done, otherwise the master would be in a panic if he stayed up so hard?!"

Chu Huai'an saw himself stretching lazily, and gave his subordinates a look, and after a while, the subordinates gave a nearly transparent lamp.

The lampstand is carved from fine yellow rosewood wood, the workmanship is average, and the lantern paste is not particularly perfect, but Su Li stared at the lantern with great joy.

Holding the lantern around, Su Li saw a round little pig in the lower right corner of the lantern, and unconsciously sighed in her mouth.

"How can it be ...... here?"

"This pig doesn't look like you?"

He asked, his eyes full of banter.

Su Li was surprised, and immediately realized that he was scolding her like a pig, her face was annoyed, and her brows were furrowed.

"Chu Huai'an! You even called me a pig! ”

"Aren't you?"

"I'm not!"

"Oh?" He snatched the lantern and held it high, causing her to bounce in front of him like a rabbit.

"The lantern is not for you!"

He said that she threw himself on the ground, and the two bodies were overlapped.

Su Li's face turned red instantly, and she got up from him in a panic and ran away with the lantern.

He was stunned for a moment, and only after sitting up did he chuckle out loud: "Silly girl, what are you running." ”

He also regarded her as a sister at that time, and he was not moved, nor did he have any bad thoughts.

It's only now that I look back and know who the real fool is.

After Chu Huai'an saw Su Li go home with the piggy lantern, he asked the nucleus to change it carefully, and he would always look at the lantern twice when he lit the lantern at night.

It was completely the little daughter's state at the beginning of love, Chu Huai'an had never seen it before, and I am afraid it would be difficult to see it in the future.

Later, Chu Huai'an saw Su Li disguised as a man in high school to explore flowers, and when she tried in the palace in front of the palace, she was full of pen and ink, full of talent and amazing talent.

Going out of the palace, she rode through the city in men's clothes, and I don't know how many women in the boudoir were disturbed.

But soon, her reputation was ruined.

Chu Huai'an saw Su Wanyue imitate his handwriting and write a letter to Su Li, deceiving Su Li to a broken temple outside the city.

Halfway through the mountain bandits, they kidnapped her to a ruined temple outside the city, and when they were about to do her wrong, a woman rushed into the ruined temple.

The woman and Su Li were seven or eight points alike, but her eyes were cowardly, revealing a sense of wind and dust.

She was so scared that she was going to die, but she trembled and raised her hand to take off her clothes and let those people let Su Li go.

The whole process was unsightly, Chu Huai'an tried to stop it, but his body passed through those people, and he couldn't touch them at all.

Stop it! Bastard!

Chu Huai'an shouted in his heart, and suddenly remembered that he had said to Su Li a long time ago that Su Wanyue actually didn't really let people hurt her.

He hadn't experienced these things firsthand, so where did he get the confidence to feel that he was qualified to say such things?

After the matter was over, several mountain bandits took the wine and food they had bought a long time ago and ate them, and after they had eaten and slept to their heart's content, the woman got up from the ground and got dressed, and carried Su Li back to the city with difficulty.

The woman didn't dare to enter the door of Shangshufu, thinking that it would be okay to put Su Li at the door, but she didn't know that this was the beginning of Su Li's nightmare.

Chu Huai'an saw Su Li's confusion and fear after waking up, and saw Su Li being spurned and abused by thousands of people.

She couldn't stay up all night, far less strong than she had been before, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts after crying.

Chu Huaian tried hard to give her a hug, but she would only look at the void through him and cry in vain.

Later, Su Li overheard that Su Liangxing and her grandmother were going to sink her into the pond, and that day, she decided to escape, but that night, she climbed over the wall and entered the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion halfway.

Chu Huai'an's heart hung up, and his heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible big palm.

A-Li, don't go!

He shouted in his heart, and the scene in front of him suddenly blurred into an elusive white mist.

"A-Li!"

Chu Huai'an finally made a sound, searched in the white mist, and saw two Su pears appear in front of him.

One is only fifteen years old, with the last glimmer of hope to seek support, combing the girl's hairstyle Su Li.

One is twenty-three, has married him as his wife, and combs Su Li, who is dressed as a woman.

"Chu Huai'an, why don't you believe me?"

Fifteen-year-old Su Li cried and questioned him, but twenty-three-year-old Su Li only looked at him with a faint smile.

The chaos in Chu Huai'an's mind suddenly became clear.

This illusion is asking him to choose whether or not to turn time back!

If he chooses fifteen-year-old Su Li, it is very likely that he will prevent those things from happening!

She will suffer less and suffer a lot less, and live a carefree life under his wing.

And he just needs to hold her at this time and say 'I believe in you' to her."

It was obviously an easy choice, but Chu Huai'an didn't move.

"What are you hesitating about?"

Ying Jiang's voice came from the void, and Chu Huai'an's face was calm: "I'm thinking, if I choose to go against the flow of time, what will happen to Ah Li, who has gone through so many tribulations now?" ”
