Xue Ling heard the sound of rain in his unconsciousness, but it was not real. There is no rain in Pingcheng all year round, and when it rains, it is a raindrop the size of a bean, which hurts on the face. But at this time, lying in bed, not in Pingcheng, where is it?

She finally opened her eyes.

Looking out of the window according to the light, it was indeed misty smoke and rain outside the window. A willow branch has just sprouted, swaying green, as if it is about to drip down.

After only a few glances, the capital, going south, chasing and killing, the memories of these few days flew in front of him in an instant, and the excited Xue Ling turned over and sat up. The woman outside the door happened to push the door in and saw Xue Ling sitting. Surprised, he asked, "Hey, you're awake." ”

When Xue Ling saw someone coming, the panic of the past few days made her subconsciously want to touch the sword, but her side was empty. Only then did I find out that what I was wearing was a set of my daughter's clothes, which actually fit quite well. Just by looking at it, you can see that the fabric is coarse, and it is worn by ordinary girls.

The woman walked to the bed and asked, "Why did you fall into the river in this good March?" Thanks to my man, you will come up, and after a while, if you don't drown, you will freeze to death. ”

Xue Ling lowered his eyelids: "My father and I are businessmen, and we met bandits on the road, so we fell down in a panic." ”

The woman in front of her widened her eyes: "There is such a thing, ten miles north of here is the town and county government, but if you want your aunt to take you to report to the official, my man only fishes you alone, and I don't see your father." ”

Xue Ling stroked his forehead, it should be a hole in the river that was cut by a stone, thinking that the situation on the road was unknown, and he didn't know if Lu Wen'an could be nearby, so he didn't want to leave immediately, so he asked: "Auntie, can you let me stay for a day or two, I have the heart to wait for news from my father." ”

The woman was distressed: "Yes, yes. It's me who is in too much of a hurry. You are raised in my family, our fishing village is surnamed Li, you can call me Aunt Li. No wonder you want to wear men's clothes, you were doing business with your father, and I thought my man had a son back. ”

It should be okay here for the time being, Xue Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiang Shui washed away all the smells on his body, even if the Huo family has a good hunting dog, it should be difficult to chase after him. Thinking of this, he smiled at the woman: "More aunt's life-saving grace, when I find my father, I will definitely repay Aunt Li." ”

"What do you say to repay or not, what year and month will you not catch people in this river? My daughter is still here, and she's as old as you. The woman paused at this point, and then said, "You have slept for many hours, and you must have been hungry." I'm going to go and get some food, and my man and son are coming back soon. I've dried your clothes and laid them on a stool, along with your belongings. The woman pointed to the stool in the corner of the room, and got up and went out.

Then he muttered: "This blue sky and white sun, peaceful and prosperous." How did this happen? ”

Xue Ling heard it, but he just felt like laughing. In this prosperous world, where is it too peaceful.

I looked at the stool again, and the original clothes were still there. But there was nothing left, only a waist of a ghost craftsman's exquisite ball. This was given to her by Xue Li. At that time, Xue Li was very proud, and told her, "The ghost ball is mostly carved with the teeth or bones of giant beasts, because the jade is hard, and the hollow ghost ball is really difficult to carve." It took him nearly three months to carve this one, and he wanted to give it to his eldest brother."

Xue Ling saw that the layers were very fun, so he simply hung up the pendant and made a carry-on waist to wear it with him every day, never thinking that this time the other items should be gone. This thing is still there.

She tilted her head to look out the window, such a misty and rainy appearance, she had never seen it before. This feeling of tranquility also seems to have existed in previous lives. Simply, he lay down again. Listen to the occasional ticking outside the window. I just thought, if it's a dream, then don't wake up at all.

During this period, Aunt Li brought another bowl of ginger soup, asked Xue Ling what his name was, and coaxed Xue Ling to drink it. only said that the youngest daughter's family was weak and could not withstand the cold.

When it was evening, the one who came to knock on the door of Xue Ling's room was a young man of sixteen or seventeen. Xue Ling could hear the vigor in his tone through the door.

"I heard that my sister is awake and may come out of the house for dinner, can't I ask A-Niang to send it in for you?"

Xue Ling took a strap and tied his hair back and opened the door. On the last boyish smiling face, the skin was a little dark. It's just a big grin, and the teeth set off are extraordinarily white. "If Aunt Li doesn't bother, I've already caused a lot of trouble." Xue Ling said slowly.

At this moment, she thought, she should really look like an ordinary girl.

Li Aniu's smile was fixed on his face, and then he suddenly panicked.

When he was fishing in the river with his father, he caught a net and didn't panic. The river has no view of the other side and feeds the entire village. When can't you pick up a person? As soon as I touched my heart, there was still heat, so I resisted and planned to cover it. took off her clothes, and it was actually a girl, so she had to quickly call A-Niang. But at that time, Xue Ling's face was pale, and his hair was wet and sticking to his face. There was another cut on his forehead. He just thought it was like catching a fish.

At this moment, Xue Ling was standing in front of him, and he suddenly began to stammer: "... Younger sister... Younger sister... You're better... A-Niang asked me to call you to dinner...."When he thought about it, he felt that the word call was not good, so he quickly learned from the private school teacher and changed his words: "Please.. You go to eat."

Xue Ling walked out of the door before he had time to look at the environment. This should be a three-entry courtyard, and most of the furnishings in the house are made of bamboo and willow, but they are clean and tidy. On the table was a bowl of steamed fish maw, a plate of emerald green vegetables I don't know what it was, and a plate of pickles. A bowl of white rice porridge with some egg splashes floating. The other three bowls were mixed grain soup.

Aunt Li was quite happy to see her come out: "Luo'er is up, come on, come on." Then press Xue Ling in front of the bowl of egg drop white rice porridge. Xue Ling was a little stunned. But I saw that the young man had already stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the bowl of fish. It's just that before he got it, he was scolded by Aunt Li: "Let my sister eat first." ”

The young man blushed: "I was going to give it to my sister." ”

The middle-aged man on the other side finally spoke: "Eat quickly, it's not good to get cold for a while." ”

The young man looked at Xue Ling happily again: "Sister eats this, this is the wild vegetables I went to dig in the back mountain, the Malan vegetables have been delicious in the past two days, and I can't eat them after the season." ”

"You cub know what it means to be miserable, people are very hungry, and the wild vegetables, bark, grass and roots in the back mountains are all eaten." As soon as he heard that he was eating wild vegetables, Lu Wen'an's unadjusted appearance shook in front of his eyes, and Xue Ling's eyes were wet again.

Unexpectedly, it was Aunt Li who panicked, and rushed over to wipe Xue Ling's tears: "What's wrong, why are you crying, but I don't like to eat this." ”

Xue Ling forcibly pulled himself out of his memories: "I just don't know what happened to my father." After thinking about it for a while, he added another sentence, "The mother at home should be in a hurry."

Hearing this, it was Aunt Li who cried.

The middle-aged man asked with some guilt and impatience: "What are you crying about?"

"Why can't I cry, if my daughter is still here, she would be so old. I'm like you, so cold-hearted, I've never thought about my daughter. "Aunt Li is quite out of control.

"Alright, alright. It's been so many years. Let's eat."

Xue Ling, who was not used to eating this meal, actually put all the good dishes on the table into her bowl. She lived so long and never had.

At the dinner table, she knew that this was a fishing village. She knew that the middle-aged man's name was Li Dazhuang, and the young man's name was Li Aniu. The two of them caught her while they were fishing. knew that Aunt Li should have had a daughter, who was slightly older than her by age. But he died in a cold illness. Aunt Li injured her body again and couldn't have children. Year after year, he made new clothes for his lost daughter. What Xue Ling was wearing was exactly what Aunt Li made for her daughter.

Actually, it doesn't matter who has the last name or the first name. They're just passers-by.

Xue Ling decided, if there was nothing unusual. Stay for two days and leave.
