Back in the room Ye Xuan was still asleep, the little person shrunk in the quilt, sleeping not very peacefully, from time to time popped out two incomprehensible dream words, he was used to living in Qingyang City since he was a child, he didn't suffer anything, he has not been very accustomed to it when he came back here, and he always has no spirit, probably because he is not adaptable, and he thinks that the pillow quilt here is not soft enough, and he always refuses to sleep at night, but he can't stay up at a young age, and he falls asleep with the pillow after not holding it for a while.

Ye Jin sat on the edge of the bed, touching his soft little face with some guilt, how much I hope this is just a dream, how much I hope that when I wake up, my mother is still there, my father is still there, my sister is still there, and the home is still intact.

Ye Xuan's small body rolled in the quilt, got out and threw herself into her arms, and opened her eyes: "Mother, I'm hungry." ”

She hugged him, leaned down and kissed him on the face: "Get up when you're hungry, and take you to meet someone after dinner." ”

The site of Ye's mother's grave was personally selected by Ying Shangrong, and on the day of the accident, Ye Jin lay on his mother, who was already silent, and cried and almost fainted, and he handled the aftermath single-handedly.

The road to the cemetery is not often walked, it has long been so barren with weeds that it is impossible to see the original appearance, Ye Jin walked forward by feeling, exploring the road while walking, walking very slowly and difficultly, the waist-deep wild grass almost submerged Ye Xuan's small body, he held Ye Jin's clothes with a bitter face, and asked pitifully: "Mother, how far is it to arrive?" ”

After walking for nearly an hour, a dilapidated grave bag finally appeared in front of her, no one swept the grave all year round, her grave was overgrown with wild grass, and the grave was cold and lonely, without half a cent of incense.

"Mother, my daughter is not filial, and I haven't come to see you." Ye Jin choked up as soon as she opened her mouth, and tears fell, she took out the offerings in the basket, sake, incense, and paper money, and placed them in front of the grave one by one: "Mother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I have a lot of things to say to you." ”

She pulled Ye Xuan to kneel: "This is Xuan'er, my son, your grandson, you haven't seen it yet, you can see it." ”

There was silence in front of the grave, and occasionally a lonely mountain wind responded.

Ye Xuan obediently put on a stick of incense, knelt down and kowtowed.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the grass not far away, Ye Xuan was startled, and drilled into Ye Jin's arms: "Mother, I'm afraid." ”

Ye Jin remembered what Qi Han said before, there are wild people in the mountains, and he couldn't help but panic a little, wouldn't he be so unlucky, he met a wild man when he went up the mountain for the first time? She took out the dagger on her waist for self-defense, hugged Ye Xuan tightly, and while comforting him, she stared closely at the moving grass, there was a black figure scurrying around in the grass, and looked at this side from time to time, making a low whimper, but she didn't dare to come out, Ye Jin guessed that this was probably some kind of wild thing, smelling the fragrance of the sacrifice, it seemed that she was also afraid of humans, so she didn't dare to come out. She sliced off a piece of meat and threw it far away, and the black shadow sprang out, greedily picking up the piece of meat on the ground, lying on the ground and gobbling it up.

Taking advantage of the aroma of its food, Ye Jin quickly picked up Ye Xuan and got up to leave, before he could run away, the black shadow had already swallowed the meat she threw over in three or two strokes, raised a pair of glowing eyes and stared at the intact chicken in front of the grave, and then rushed over quickly, picked it up and gnawed.

Ye Jin took a few steps back, and when he looked closely, he realized that this black figure turned out to be a person. He couldn't find a clean place all over his body, his unkempt hair was knotted, covering most of his face, and his clothes were in tatters, hanging like strips of cloth.

"You...... Who is it? Ye Jin put the child down, protected him, raised his dagger to defend himself, looked at the man's face, and asked vigilantly.

The man's gobbling action suddenly stopped, the hand holding the chicken trembled, slowly raised his head to look at Ye Jin, suddenly threw down the half-gnawed chicken in his hand, brushed away the messy hair in front of him with his greasy hand, stared at her blankly, and then let out a miserable long howl, as if he was choked by the throat, and whimpered hoarsely, sounding like the cry of a lonely soul who died unjustly at midnight.

Ye Jin was stunned after seeing the man's facial features clearly, her hand shook, the dagger fell to the ground, and she shouted softly in disbelief: "...... Father?! ”

Father Ye stared at her as if he was about to drip blood, he stared at her like that, nodded desperately, and let out a miserable scream, as if he burst out from the depths of his bone marrow and roared, but there was only gasping and no sound, as if a hand had choked his heart-rending scream in his throat. He crawled in front of Ye Jin in a few steps, clutching the corners of her skirt tightly, wailing like a beast that had been injured, trembling violently.

Ye Jin squatted down and helped him up, "Dad, you are still alive, it turns out that you are really still alive, why are you hiding in the mountains and not going home?" What about Ye Xiang? Where is she? Is she with you? ”

Hearing Ye Xiang's name, his father, who had been crying bitterly, was suddenly stunned, his face became frightened, and he pushed Ye Jin to the ground like crazy, and quickly ran back into the grass and hid tremblingly. Ye Jin's heart sank, and an ominous premonition floated. Ye Xiang won't be ......

Without thinking too much, Ye Jin appeased him for a long time before coaxing Father Ye out of the grass and bringing him home, letting him take a bath, change into clean clothes, and personally cut his dirty messy hair clean. Only then did I see his appearance clearly, I haven't seen him for a few years, he has aged too much, even if he washes the dirt on his face, but the ravines left by the years are uneven, and the father in his memory is actually not kind, always scolding and scolding, but he has never had this submissive like a frightened bird.

As if he was eating now, there was a sudden sound in the courtyard, and he trembled, and immediately threw down the bowl and quickly got under the table, holding his head and trembling. Ye Jin didn't know what he had experienced, every time he hid as long as he asked, she was anxious to ask him about Ye Xiang's whereabouts, but he went crazy when he heard Ye Xiang's name, she thought that he was too stimulated and caused him to be delirious now, until she squatted down and wanted to pull him out from under the table, when she suddenly found that his frightened open mouth was like a pitch-black hole, and his tongue was cut out.

Ye Jin endured the anger and distress in his heart, carefully comforted Daddy Ye from under the table, led him to the room, closed the door, helped him sit down, and then grabbed his old hands, blinked his reddened eyes, hot tears fell on the back of the hands held by the two people, he looked at her in a daze, and his eyes were a little confused.

Ye Jin's expression was very solemn, and she said word by word: "Dad, I know that you have suffered a lot, but there are some things I have to ask you, you can nod or shake your head to answer me, but you have to promise me that you can't go crazy anymore, Dad, can you do it?" ”

Father Ye looked at her blankly, and stretched out his hand tremblingly while awkwardly wiping her tears while nodding hurriedly. She smiled, took his rough hand and held it in her hand, took a deep breath, and began to question.

"Is someone chasing you and Ye Xiang?"

Father Ye nodded lightly.

"Are you hiding in the mountains and not daring to go home because your pursuers have not left?"

Keep nodding.

"That Ye Xiang...... Is she still alive? Ye Jin asked cautiously, nervously waiting for Daddy Ye's reaction.

Daddy Ye's face changed immediately, his originally relaxed hands were clenched into fists, his joints made a soft sound, his rickety body bent in pain, and his eyes burst out with intense fear, but he tried hard to control himself and nodded with difficulty.

Ye Jin's tense heart relaxed in an instant, she was really alive! At this moment, I couldn't wait to find her immediately and take her home, so I eagerly continued to ask, "Where is Ye Xiang?" Was she taken to Qingyang City? ”

This topic seemed to make Father Ye particularly painful, tormenting his facial features together, he covered his face with his hands, but nodded clearly. Ye Jin was so surprised that he almost cried, took his hand down excitedly, looked at his face and confirmed again: "Is she really alive?" In Qingyang City? ”

Dad suddenly quieted down, slowly raised his face, old tears on his face, he closed his eyes, a cloudy tear slipped from his eyes, he nodded, and gave her an affirmative answer.

Ye Jin smiled with tears in her eyes, looked at Daddy Ye and said firmly: "I'll take you to Qingyang City to find her, Dad, don't worry, I will definitely get my sister back!" ”

Hearing her words, Dad suddenly became excited again, grabbed her hand tightly, shook his head desperately, opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say another word, he could only wave his hands like crazy, his face turned red, and a faint roar came out of his throat.

Ye Jin knew that he was worried and didn't want her to go into danger, she comforted him: "I have to go to her, don't worry, I will protect you, protect myself, and get Ye Xiang back safely, we are a family, no one can lose it!" Don't worry, trust me, okay? ”

Father Ye paused all his movements as if he was deflated, his face was gray, and his cloudy eyes were full of despair.

This one is also a poor and hateful person.

Since he was a child, his parents died early, leaving one acre and three points of land and two dilapidated and leaky grass houses, he himself is not angry, he is addicted to alcohol and gambling, that bit of land was also rented out by him, and the rent collected was all taken by him to gamble, but he was a little worse than his gambling luck, and he would lose every gamble, so that a person in his early forties was still an old bachelor, not only did he achieve nothing, but even the little land left to him by his parents was taken to pay off the gambling debts, and there were only these two broken grass houses left, and there was originally a brother Ye Boss who depended on him for his life, but Ye Boss was drunk one day, I don't know why I ran to the river, I fell into the river and drowned, and I floated up the next day, if it wasn't entangled in aquatic weeds, the corpse didn't know where to float, and since then Ye Lao Er has become a lonely man.

Who would have thought that in the year when Ye Lao was forty years old, the time came to run, and God sent him a woman.

Yun Sanniang, who was in her early twenties, was covered with sword wounds, her clothes were almost all drawn into blood-drenched strips of cloth, and she was lying on a broken boat, the broken boat floated down the Yudai River to the village, and the blood under her body almost filled the entire boatboard, and the people in the village thought that there was a dead man, and no one wanted to care about it, only Ye Lao Er saw Yun Sanniang's beautiful face, and she was born better than all the women he had ever seen, so she suddenly couldn't move, and took the half-dead Yun Sanniang home. Together with the baby girl in the cabin, she was also brought home, maybe Yun Sanniang's life should not be extinguished, and a month later, she miraculously came back to life under the care of Father Ye.

Ye Lao Er has never touched a woman in his life, he took Yun Sanniang home, originally just coveted her beauty, wanted to ask for a cheap wife, did not think that Yun Sanniang was grateful to him for saving his life, and really followed him to live a life, she took all her jewelry and clothes to change money, redeemed Ye Lao Er's land, renovated the house again, cleaned up the house inside and out, asked someone to build a fence wall outside the house, surrounded a courtyard, and planted a peach tree in the yard, A vegetable garden was carved out under the tree, and even a small yellow dog was brought and raised in the yard.

For the first time in his life, Ye Lao Er knew what it was like to be at home and saw what home should look like. What surprised him even more was that Yun Sanniang was still a clean virgin, he felt that God had finally favored him and let him pick up such a big bargain, he vowed to live a good life, and it hurt to hold Yun Sanniang in the palm of his hand.

Yun Sanniang is indeed a serious life, has the ability to pick herbs and medicines, and when she goes into the mountains for two days in her spare time, she can always pick a basket of rare herbs and sell them to the pharmacy, in exchange for a lot of money, and after a long time, she has become the main source of income for the family. She gave birth to a daughter to Ye Lao Er in the second year, named Ye Xiang, and the baby girl she brought herself also followed Ye Lao Er's surname, named Ye Jin, Yun Sanniang has a gentle personality, and she always has to ask Ye Lao Er's opinion when she encounters things, and listens to him in most things, but about her and the life experience of the baby girl she brought, she refuses to mention a word, no matter how she asks, she doesn't say a word, but Ye Lao Er is too lazy to ask after a long time.

The days passed unhurriedly, and the comfortable days were too long, and the lazy nature of Ye Laoer's nature began to move again. At that time, Yun Sanniang was too seriously injured, fell into the root of the disease, and her body was not very good, she was bedridden for a long time, and she could no longer go up the mountain to collect medicine, and her body had to rely on the decoction to continue, Ye Lao Er took care of it for a few days and lost her patience, and began to return to her old business, following a group of wine and meat friends to mix in taverns and casinos all day long, and it was difficult to come back once in three or five days.
