The Ferrari-style carriage drove into the city gate, and became the focus of attention of the people, and the same as the experience along the way, the place where the carriage passed, the surrounding people will cast curious eyes, and the new carriage appeared in Chang'an City, the people are full of curiosity.

When Lin Fan and the others got off the car, everyone's eyes fell on them, no matter where they were, the curiosity of the people was basically the same, they were very curious about the people in the strange carriage, and a pair of strange eyes were on Lin Fan's side.

Everyone was accustomed to this kind of gaze, so they were all very calm, no one bowed their heads shyly, or blushed, everyone stood very calmly in front of the inn.

"That's it." This inn is more decent, the scale is a little large, and it looks a little luxurious, Lin Fan and the others have been shopping for a long time, and this inn is in line with their hearts.

The innkeeper saw this strange carriage early, stared at the carriage curiously, and then stared at the people who got down from the carriage, still curious, actually forgot his duty, and did not greet the guest officer, until a teenager looked at him with a smile, he came to his senses, and immediately smiled on his chubby face, and greeted him with a smile.

"Guest officer, please, what kind of room do you need, we have ・・・・・・ here"

"There are four first-class rooms, and there is a table of good wine and good food." Lin Fan was too lazy to listen to Xiao Er's introduction, and he was tired of listening to it along the way, so he directly asked him to prepare the room and wine and food, which was arranged like this along the way, only providing four rooms.

Lin Fan and Xue Tao naturally had to be in the same room, at first Xue Tao didn't agree very much, but at Lin Fan's insistence, he agreed, because they already had a husband and wife, Xiao Taohong was one person, but she was not very happy, and it was difficult for her to fall asleep every night when she thought about the scene of Miss and that swinger.

Xiaozhu is cold and cold, extremely unsociable, no one wants to live with him, so he also got a single room, but very comfortable, Shan Xiong and Xue Ying can chat very well, the two are the most suitable together, Shan Xiong is the most lacking of drinking friends, although Xue Ying has not reached the realm of alcoholism, but as long as Shan Xiong meets, he will not refuse, which is also the reason why Shan Xiong appreciates him.

After settling down, everyone ate and drank well, and had a good night's rest, and the next day, under the leadership of Xue Tao and Xue Ying, they came to Huatianmen.

Just out of Huatianmen, look around, the first thing that catches your eye is the plane forest in the distance, the forest is not big, but it is the most beautiful scenery outside Qiantang City, the plane forest in late winter looks a little sluggish, the plane leaves have basically withered away, and it looks away, just like a bottle of bare monk statue standing in the wind.

The journey of one mile is not very long, and it will soon be here, Lin Fan and the others got out of the car, looking for the plane tree with Xue Tao's mother's name along the road, while admiring this rare plane forest.

Lin Fan's gaze is basically not whether there is handwriting on the plane tree, his eyes suddenly go up and down, all the way to enjoy the scenery of the plane forest, this is the first time he has seen the plane forest, he remembers that the later generations of Hangzhou did not see the plane forest, even if it is on the Qiantang River, perhaps... The plane forest owned during the Tang Dynasty after thousands of years of evolution, or was destroyed, maybe... such a beautiful plane forest was destroyed in the era of war, it is very likely to be in modern times.

Lin Fan remembered that although the ancient wars were cruel, but those belligerents often yearned for those palaces, and hated those palaces, just like Afang Palace, which made Xiang Yu hate, and was punished by Xiang Yu's fire and became ruins, like an inconspicuous small city like Qiantang, like the not-famous Wutong Forest outside this small city, which hero or hero would have the leisure to take care of it, and would vent his anger on them, these Wutong Forests are not qualified to set off their anger.

The only possibility is the great wars of modern times.

Lin Fan sighed regretfully, and paid attention again, I really want to keep this beauty in my heart, maybe there will be no regrets in the future, although the plane forest at this moment does not have much appreciation value, the bare trunk has no young leaves, only some residual dead leaves are still stubbornly standing, and the red ones are extremely conspicuous.

Around the trunk, the dead leaves are still there, after the madness of the autumn and winter seasons, the sycamore leaves are basically withered, the maple leaves all over the ground are not as beautiful as when they first fell, most of them have festered, not as they were, and the nutrients left on their bodies are gradually absorbed by the trunk, contributing the last force to their descendants.

"Found it, here."

Xue Ying's shout attracted Lin Fan's attention, and he also came back to his senses from nature and walked towards Xue Ying's side, and the other people scattered everywhere also gathered.

Seeing this plane tree, Lin Fan had to sigh at Xue Yong's eyesight, this plane tree is very ordinary, not inconspicuous at all, there is no special place in the ordinary, but, on the other hand, this is also Xue Yong's cleverness, isn't the inconspicuous place more quiet, people die in the grave, isn't it just to be quiet?

The grave was found, the happiest was Xue Tao, and the saddest was also her, she stood in front of the plane tree, her white tender hands gently caressed the three inconspicuous words on it: Yunxiaoxia.

Her lips moved slightly, as if calling her mother, but she didn't make a sound, and tears flowed down her eyes.

Except for Xue Ying and Xiao Taohong, the other three avoided a distance, allowing them to catch up with their relatives, Lin Fan, Shan Xiong, and Xiaozhu waited for about a stick of incense behind the other sycamore trees, Xue Tao and others finished worshipping, when Lin Fan and they came, Xue Tao and they had already buried the sachet given by Li Ying, and the sycamore leaves covered the new soil, and it didn't take long for the new soil to become the old soil again, as if no one had ever touched here.

When Xue Ying carved his father's name, everything was done, Lin Fan and the others bowed slightly to the plane tree, and then left the plane forest, Xue Tao finally stopped in front of the plane tree for a long time before reluctantly leaving, until she got into the carriage, she also looked back, until the carriage drove into Huatianmen, the plane forest disappeared from view, she slowly retracted her gaze.

Several people went back to the inn, each busy with their own things, Lin Fan and Xue Tao did not continue to stay in the inn, they wandered around the street together, this request was made by Lin Fan, he knew Xue Tao's mood at the moment, she couldn't get out of her grief for a while, she needed to go outside to relax, maybe this could open her heart.

Unconsciously, the two walked into an alley and stood in the middle of the alley, Xue Tao's expression was a little confused, a little reminiscing.

"This is where I grew up." Before Lin Fan could ask, Xue Tao lightly revealed the information.

"Where you live, you have to take a good look at it."

Lin Fan smiled slightly, looked around curiously, and admired this quaint fang market while walking, such a fang market is no different from Chang'an, in fact, there is nothing to see, but this is the place where Xue Tao has lived, he naturally wants to take a good look.

A little girl is running and laughing in the alley, and there are some other partners behind her・・・・・・

Little girls are not always full of smiling faces, sometimes, she will walk alone in the alley, with a depressed face, a sad face, a small mouth, burying her head in walking, as soon as she sees a small stone on the road, she will kick hard, it seems that there is a lot of anger to vent on the small stone.

The illusion jumped to another picture, the little girl was surrounded by three or five children as big as her, one by one the children giggled and laughed, pointing to the little girl and laughing at her for not having a father, the wild child who jumped out of the crack in the stone, the little girl was not convinced, rushed up and scuffled with the child who said she was a wild child, and the fight, several children rushed up, the little girl was finally outworn, and sat weakly by the wall, and after the surrounding children were far away, the little girl seemed to think of something, Crying with a headache・・・・・・

Thinking of this, Lin Fan stopped, shook Xue Tao's hand tightly, and said, "Childhood must have been unhappy, but fortunately, all this has been over." ”

Xue Tao smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, although my childhood was not happy, but now I am very satisfied, because ・・・・・・"

She looked at Lin Fan deeply and said her heart: "I met you." ”

Lin Fan smiled slightly, and said softly: "I won't let you look at the wrong person." ”

Lin Fan looked down at Xue Tao's little hand and said with a smile, "There is one thing I forgot to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know why I asked you that night, you must have thought it was a bargaining chip to get my help."

Xue Tao knew what Lin Fan was talking about, she lowered her head slightly and didn't speak, her beautiful face was also flushed with shyness from thinking of what she had done with Lin Fan recently, she really thought that she was dedicating herself to asking for help that night, didn't she?

Lin Fan said: "Because I can't guarantee whether the emperor will let you go, so I can only say that you are already my wife, for the sake of you being my Lin Fan's person, I think the emperor will let you go, and it turns out that this is true." ”

"It turned out to be ・・・・・・"

"You're not going to blame me, are you?"

"How could it be ・・・・・・?"

The two looked at each other and smiled again, and continued to walk forward arm in arm, after this little episode, Xue Tao gradually became cheerful, seeing a certain house, a certain place will tell Lin Fan what she would do here in her childhood, there are interesting things and sad things, at this moment Xue Tao did not escape, will not deliberately avoid those unhappy past, she can face it calmly, Lin Fan will be relieved, at least the trauma of childhood is slowly healing, this is enough.

Lin Fan is a good listener, whether it is known or unknown, he listens with a sense of curiosity, to become more familiar with Xue Tao's past, and will not want to listen to something that has been said from Xue Tao's mouth.

The two chatted a lot and walked a long way, and finally, Xue Tao stopped in front of a house, and Lin Fan also stopped, looking at it, he knew that this should be the place where Xue Tao had lived before.

The house is not high, not big, standing in the community, there is nothing surprising, although Xue Tao has not returned home for many years, but the house is not dilapidated, the rubble is still there, the doors and windows are still the same, and the things are...

The door was slightly open, and there were no sounds of a few children playing inside, and from time to time there were dogs barking and chickens crowing, obviously inhabited, and it was a simple family.

"Why don't you go in and have a look?"

Xue Tao smiled indifferently, shook his head, and sighed slightly: "The house has changed owners, why bother people again, after eight years, I haven't seen it collapse and fall because of the ruthlessness of the years, I am already very satisfied, isn't it better to have someone to take care of it now?" ”

Lin Fan nodded and didn't say anything, his eyes were still on the house, maybe the sound of the two of them talking outside was heard by the people inside, maybe the handsome-looking girl had planned to go out, and when she came out, she happened to see Lin Fan and Xue Tao holding hands and standing not far from the door, staring here.

The girl seemed to be shy, she looked at the two of them curiously and then lowered her head shyly, turned into the alley next to the house and disappeared, she didn't recognize Lin Fan and Xue Tao, but Lin Fan recognized her, and when she saw her, Lin Fan was stunned, and looked at the mouth of the alley where the girl disappeared in a daze.

Lin Fan's heart was shocked, he couldn't imagine that the special little girl he met at the door of the Yilin Inn in Chang'an last year would actually meet here, and it wasn't until this moment that Lin Fan remembered what they heard about Qiantang that day, it turned out that their hometown was in Qiantang, and at first they thought they were going to do business in Qiantang.

However, how could such a little girl with that strange pattern on the soles of her feet live in Xue Tao's house.

"Let's go, let's go look elsewhere."

Xue Tao left, and Lin Fan had no choice but to follow, but the doubts in his heart were still unsolved, maybe Xue Tao knew some information about her.

"Who is the little girl who just came out of the door, she doesn't seem to know you, how can she not know you when she lives in your house? Could it be that a foreigner has taken over your home? ”

Xue Tao shook his head and said: "She doesn't know me, I know her, she is not a foreigner, she used to be my neighbor, I am afraid that it is a pity to let my family live in that barrenness, just now I wanted to say hello to her, but thinking that she was so young before I have changed a lot, she must not remember me, so she will never have this idea." ”

"Oh."

Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully, thought about it and suddenly sighed, "I feel so pitiful." ”

"How do you know?"

Xue Tao looked at Lin Fan with some surprise: "She is indeed pitiful, how do you know?" ”

Lin Fan smiled bitterly: "Actually, I met her by chance in Chang'an last year, when she and an elder, presumably her father, were pushing a trailer and selling. (To be continued.) )
