Chapter 3 Cai'er
Waiting for a few people to go out, Han Yan spoke: "Uncle Wang, what's going on?"
"Hey, don't be so impulsive next time, kid. He said so, but the shopkeeper Wang was very moved in his heart.
"Blame me, I took your spirit plant to the town today, but I didn't expect to be targeted, I hurriedly walked back, but I was still a step slower, and I was chased by these people and found here. Hey, don't worry, your Spirit Plant King will pay you back. Shopkeeper Wang felt very sorry for Han Yan and said ashamedly.
"Uncle Wang's words are serious, it's good if people are fine. Who are these people? Are they cultivators?" Han Yan didn't pay attention to the matter of the spirit plant, it was a big deal to pick more herbs by himself.
"It's just a group of rogues, the lowest-level cultivators, but they're also a lot stronger than ordinary people. The shopkeeper said.
"Oh. Han Yan nodded: "By the way, Uncle Wang, exchange food." Han Yan took out today's herbs and put them on the table, "Today is more, I picked a hundred plants, and I can exchange them for a pound of grain." ”
"Xiao Yanzi, after eating, I can take it here from Uncle Wang, and I can still supply this food. "Shopkeeper Wang always feels that he owes Han Yan and wants to make up for it as much as possible.
"Uncle Wang, you don't have to take this matter to heart, I have hands and feet, and I can support me and my grandfather. Without waiting for the shopkeeper to reply, Han Yan took the food himself and walked out.
"Stinky boy, wait. Shopkeeper Wang didn't pretend anymore, but he took out a blue sign from his bosom and threw it to Han Yan.
"What is this?" asked Han Yan, taking the sign.
"It's useless and broken, it's useless to put me here, you can take it and study it. Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll take it, and I'll take it to that spirit plant, and then it's clear, haha. Han Yan took the sign in his arms and walked out.
"This kid. The shopkeeper Wang knew that Han Yan was to make him feel at ease, shook his head, glanced at Han Yan complicatedly, and then returned to the grain shop.
It was already dusk, Han Yan did not rush back, and came to a dilapidated courtyard, took out two fruits from his arms, turned upside down, and walked towards the house.
Han Yan knocked on the door of the courtyard.
"Who?" said a voice from inside the room.
"Mother, it's the voice of the big brother. Not long after the words fell, a teenage girl opened the courtyard door and threw herself into Han Yan's arms.
"Why hasn't my big brother come to play with me for so long, isn't it painful? As he spoke, he kept his head into Han Yan's arms.
"How can it be, Xiao Cai'er, I've been busy going up the mountain to collect medicine recently. Han Yan picked up the little girl and touched her little head lovingly.
The little girl wore two ponytails, her big eyes looked very cute on her porcelain doll-like face, and the somewhat old blue dress looked extraordinarily simple on her, but the slightest bit of this could not stop the beauty.
The little girl's name is Lin Cai'er, and the reason why she is so close to Han Yan is because Lin Cai'er has had no father since she was a child, and Lin's mother has to go up the mountain to collect medicine to maintain her life, so she has to put her at Old Man Mo to help take care of her.
Since then, there has been a little heel behind Han Yan, and she will go wherever Han Yan goes, until she is older, Lin Mu took her up the mountain to collect medicine, and then they separated.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Cai'er was brought up by Han Yan, although Cai'er returned home, but Han Yan often came to take a look, and treated Cai'er like his own sister.
"What do you see I brought you?" Han Yan handed the fruit in his hand to Cai'er.
"Qingmeiguo? hehe, I know that the big brother is the most painful. Cai'er looked at the two fruits in her hand and asked, "Big brother, where did you pick them?"
"On the mountain, eat quickly. Han Yan urged.
"Has the big brother eaten it?" asked Cai'er.
"Of course I've eaten it, and I've eaten several. It's sweet. Han Yan smiled and touched Cai'er's head.
"Big brother, you lie. Cai'er hugged Han Yan, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and choked up. Although Cai'er is small, but more sensible than the average girl, there is a green plum fruit tree on the mountain, dozens of zhang high, although the tree is very large, but the fruit is very few.
A few days ago, I went to pick medicine with my mother, and I also saw this fruit tree, only the top three remained, although the green plum fruit is delicious, but people will not risk climbing to such a high place to pick, so the three are lucky to stay.
Cai'er knew that Han Yan would definitely leave one for her grandfather, and the remaining two were all given to herself. And Cai'er once ate a green plum fruit, the taste is sour, not sweet at all.
Han Yan knew that this little girl was clever, so she couldn't hide it, so she didn't say anything.
"Xiao Yanzi is here, come in, come in. Mother Lin walked out of the yard and was very enthusiastic about Han Yan. Mother Lin knocked Cai'er's head and reprimanded: "You didn't know when your big brother came, you didn't know to call in and sit, I hurt you since I was a child." ”
"Mother, give. Cai'er handed the green plum fruit to Mother Lin.
"Qingmeiguo, where did this come from?" Lin Mu wondered.
"Big brother gave it. Cai'er obediently put the two green plum fruits in her mother's hands.
"Xiao Yanzi, did you pick it from that fruit tree on the mountain?" asked Lin Mu.
Han Yan nodded, and before she could say anything, Lin Mu said: "No, no, I also saw Cai'er and I go up the mountain to collect medicine a few days ago, there are only three in total, it is too high to pick, so how can you go up so dangerous, don't take risks next time." ”
There were only three fruits in total, and Han Yan gave Cai'er two at once, and Mother Lin really couldn't help it, so she had to return the fruit to Han Yan when she picked it up.
"Stinky girl, you took the fruit that your eldest brother risked his life to pick, and you just took it without saying a word, how do I usually teach you. Mother Lin scolded.
Cai'er's face was full of grievances, and tears were about to fall, Han Yan saw this and hurriedly said to Mother Lin: "Auntie, I picked a few a few a few days ago, and I can't get used to eating them with my grandfather, Cai'er likes to eat them, so I gave them to her, it's not in the way." ”
Hearing Han Yan say this, Mother Lin understood in her heart, and it was not easy to say anything, knowing that Han Yan had been hurting Cai'er since she was a child, Mother Lin even thought that when Cai'er was older, she would be relieved to hand it over to Han Yan.
"Okay, Cai'er, my mother shouldn't scold you, you and Hanyan have one for each of these two fruits. After speaking, Lin Mu looked at Han Yan again: "Just one fruit, don't shirk it anymore." ”
Han Yan smiled, knowing her mother's character, she had no choice but to respond. After a few words of greeting, Han Yan was about to leave, but Cai'er grabbed the corner of Han Yan's clothes and didn't let go, wanting him to stay and play for a while.
Han Yan understood Cai'er's thoughts, thought for a while, turned to Mother Lin and said, "Aunt Zhao, can I take Cai'er to play for a few days, and I'll send you back in a few days." ”
Mother Lin glanced at Han Yan, then at the nervous Cai'er, and said with a smile: "Okay, it just so happens that I can clean up for a few days, but Cai'er has to listen to Xiao Yanzi's words when she goes, otherwise don't want to leave the house in the future." ”
"Well, well, Cai'er is obedient, Cai'er is very obedient. Cai'er nodded hurriedly and said coquettishly. Looking at Cai'er's appearance, Han Yan and Lin Mu laughed in unison.
The two were at a distance from each other, and Han Yan walked towards home with Cai'er on his back, and before leaving, Han Yan secretly left the green plum fruit at Cai'er's house.
"Big brother..."Cai'er on Han Yan's back snorted softly.
"What's wrong, Cai'er?" asked Han Yan.
"Big brother has changed, not as happy as before, Cai'er can feel it. Cai'er leaned her head on Han Yan's shoulder, and for some reason, she felt Han Yan's troubles.
Han Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Don't guess, little girl, I'm still the same as before." ”
"Hmm~" Cai'er didn't say anything more, closed her eyes and rested.
Back at home, Han Yan put the sleeping Cai'er on his bed, covered it with a quilt, and then closed the door and walked out to start working on dinner. When I saw that Cai'er was still sleeping, I didn't wake her up, and put her share away.
After dinner, chatting with his grandfather for a few words, Han Yan sat down on the stone pier at the door, took out the piece of jade and the letter that his parents gave him, put it in his hand, and watched it quietly.
When he is free, Han Yan can't help but think of these, his parents, his life experience, and his future. He never wanted to pass, but he felt he should make a decision.
"Big brother, what are you doing!" Just as Han Yan was about to put things away, Cai'er appeared in front of Han Yan. It's been a few times, because I can't notice the people around me because I want to do things.
"Nothing. Han Yan touched Cai'er's head.
Cai'er sat next to Han Yan, saw what he was holding in his hand, and asked, "Big brother, what is this." ”
"This..."Han Yan thought for a while and smiled, "Then let's talk to you." ”
Han Yan stated his life experience and Cai'er word by word, except for the dream, everything else told Cai'er, he was not looking for answers from Cai'er, but sometimes it would be much more comfortable to say it.
Cai'er listened very seriously, and the expression on her face changed with the change, and after listening, Cai'er knew that the eldest brother had so many things on her mind.
"Big brother, although Cai'er is small, Cai'er understands that everything goes according to her heart, just do your best. Although Grandpa Mo is not the eldest brother's own grandfather, Cai'er feels that Grandpa Mo loves the eldest brother very much, but the biological parents of the eldest brother are also looking for it, so Cai'er doesn't have a good idea. Cai'er said seriously.
"Go with the flow..."Han Yan kept pondering these words, it seemed that he was thinking too much. Now Han Yan understands what he really wants.
"Cai'er, thank you, if it weren't for your words, I don't know how long I would have been confused. Han Yan said to Cai'er.
"Cai'er is already very happy to be able to help her big brother. Although she said so, Cai'er was not happy at all, she knew that if Han Yan was going to find her biological parents, it meant that she would most likely never see Han Yan again.
