Snowflakes began to fall silently in the light of the fire.

Shen Shanping stretched out his hand and dusted the snow on the top of her hair, neither embarrassed by her, nor explained, just looking at it like that, smiling impeccably.

"I used to do it a lot for a while, but then I only did it occasionally, and I never did it again after I came out."

It's detailed enough, if you've been tired for a long time, you never thought that there was a fox in the officialdom at home.

Nodding with satisfaction, Shen Shanping rubbed her head, it seemed that Xiao Jiu'er's situation was not what they were optimistic about.

"Living alone, tired? Afraid? ”

Awesome, can the second uncle guess right? How do you see that?

Rujiu's face was shocked, and the feeling he had experienced when he was crushed by Xueba's IQ with an absolute advantage came again. A really smart person is compared to a guy like her who is not often used to using it halfway, it's simply amazing!

"Weird?"

Seeing that she nodded quickly and was a little cute, and finally had some childlike appearance, Shen Shanping laughed out loud, but there was distress and pity in her eyes.

She has always been subconsciously unaccustomed to the proximity of others, and it is not simply a guard against strangers. For example, Fang Cai stretched out his own hand and her reaction, although she was quickly suppressed, but he saw it clearly.

From the cocoons on the ten fingers of her hands, it is not the usual weapon of martial arts practitioners, just the place left by the tiger's mouth.

The furniture created from these, whether it is a bed or a wooden box, or a teacup or a comb, is not as fun as the carving that the little girl is interested in, but only practical and wearable.

"Since when?"

"Huh? Oh, not long after the apprenticeship, the master passed away. ”

Rujiu, who was half a beat slower to react, didn't hide her answer for a long time, and naturally didn't mention it without asking, but there was nothing that could not be said after asking these questions.

That's when she was four years old, four years old.

Shen Shanping's heart ached, the smile on his face couldn't be maintained, and the amplitude of the corners of his mouth looked very weird, "No one else?" ”

"Well, Wuwei Valley only preaches one disciple in his life."

"Tired? Afraid? ”

This problem again? Just about to blurt out the words in time, pinch, yes, although she just came through, although her mental age is in her twenties, Xiao Jiu'er's body is indeed a real four-year-old Lori, so she had to change her words-

"It's a little bit at first, but it's good to get used to it."

The Shen family, who was hidden not far away, heard the conversation between the uncle and nephew clearly.

Jiang Shi covered his mouth, and his whole body trembled so much that he couldn't help himself, as long as he thought of that picture, even if it was just such an imagination, he couldn't bear it.

The treasure she has held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, how has she come over the past few years?

What does she eat? With what? What to wear?

When it's dark and scared to miss your family, you can only hug yourself and cry, and when you're hungry, you can only rely on your own efforts to find food?

Pictures of how pitiful and pitiful the brain is flashed in everyone's minds.

Not to mention the women with tears streaming down their faces, even Shen Jiye couldn't control the wet eyes, let alone a few brothers who have always controlled the attributes.

Rubbing his old face, Shen Jiye waved his hand and motioned for everyone to follow back to the courtyard.

Tian and Quan held one of Jiang's arms and followed the last head into the courtyard gate.

Turning his head and glancing, Rujiu was a little strange why everyone came out together and retreated silently?

and the second uncle in front of her, who gave her a headache, "Second uncle, no wonder they all say that husband and wife will affect each other after a long time, and your assimilation is quite thorough." ”

"Naughty." Turning his head to the side to wipe away his tears, Shen Shanping's hoarse words were harsh, but he couldn't help but be full of pampering inside.

The wind and snow gradually became heavier and stronger, and the wet hair became ice.

"It's almost done, Second Uncle, we..."

"Crunch crunch ~"

The sound of stepping on the snow came from far and near, and there were more than one person.

Without continuing to speak, Rujiu turned to look at the hurried people who were walking towards the courtyard.

Shen Shanping squinted his eyes, getting closer and closer, the wrinkles on his brows were slowly smoothed, and his tone couldn't help but be light and happy, "Xiao Jiu'er, they're back." ”

They? Third uncle, big brother, them?

"Third brother, I'm back."

"Second brother? You, how did you come out, are you getting better? ”

"Second uncle!" "Daddy!"

Shen Shansheng strode over a little anxiously when he heard the voice, is there something going on at home?

The second brother was still ill last time he came back, and everyone was a little burned, and the only doctor Niu in the village was a man with medical skills and no medical ethics, and his heart was black.

"Why are you doing it on such a cold day..."

When he walked to the front, he found that his weak second brother looked no different from ordinary people, without the slightest sickness, this?

When I looked closely, there was a teenage man in a gray robe beside him—

"Hey, why is it you, little boy?"

"Don't be stupid and stand here, let's go, let's go inside." Shen Shanping patted him on the shoulder, "Daddy and mother have been talking about you for the past few days, and you guys should hurry up and help, don't be stupid and move things back to the courtyard." ”

"Okay second uncle." "Got it, Dad."

Seeing that the second uncle didn't introduce himself, Rujiu was also very cooperative and silent, and only quietly looked at the five people who rarely returned home.

The third uncle, Shen Shanshi, is a middle-aged man who had a relationship in Hexian County.

It turned out that the group of people did not kindly let him go, and looked at his empty right hand again, and suddenly understood the sudden discomfort and palpitations at that time.

Turning his gaze to look at the four people who came to help carry things, the clothes were worn in several layers, but they were all shabby, and the effect of trying to keep warm was not very good, and they were all so cold that their faces were chapped and their lips were blue.

One of them also had a scabbed whip mark on his face, and it was not difficult to tell from his movements that there must be other injuries on his body.

While she was looking at them one by one, Shen Ruyi and the others were also secretly observing her and guessing her identity.

When they walked back to the courtyard with different thoughts, the family members were gathered in the hall and talked.

"Daddy, we're back!"

"The third child is back, come in quickly."

"Grandfathers, grandmothers, grandchildren are back."

"Okay, okay."

He stood up excitedly and looked at San'er, who rarely came back in January, and a few grandsons said how they had lost weight again.

Hua greeted her husband with joy, usually the most arrogant person, but also a rare shy and gentle side.

Carefully talk to the worried father and daughter-in-law about their situation in the quarry, and reassure them.

"It's just that a few days ago, I went to the county town to grab some medicine and came back, so that the former ones who were covering were injured." Shen Shansheng glanced at the eldest brother and the second brother apologetically, this time he was impulsive.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

Tian touched the whip marks on his son's face distressedly, and then comforted his uncle who blamed himself, "Third brother, how can I blame you." ”

"That's it, the third brother doesn't want to say that."

First of all, the lost baby came back, and the two sons also returned home today, Jiang Shi smiled between his eyebrows, "The boys are tight, it will be fine in a few days." ”

Shen Shansheng has always been a person, he never hides what he thinks and says, and he feels that he is wrong and apologizes. I know that they won't blame, but I can only be comfortable by saying it.

"Thank you for your help that day."

Turning to the side, he said as he faced Rujiu and prepared to bend down.

"The third uncle is serious."

Shen Shansheng raised his head in shock, "What did you call me?" ”

"Third uncle."

Third uncle? Quickly swept his gaze to the eldest brother and second brother, isn't this the illegitimate son of which elder brother? It's impossible, then it's the only way to be-

"Xiao Jiu'er? Are you Xiao Jiu'er? ”

"What?"

Shen Shansheng, who was so excited that he was about to step forward to take a good look at his little niece, was instantly squeezed away by the nephews who came up behind him.

"Xiao Jiu, are you Xiao Jiu?"

Rujiu, who was surrounded by his brothers again, swallowed his saliva and raised a smile, and called sweetly, "Hello brothers~"

"It's Jiu'er, it's really Xiao Jiu." Shen Rusan saw the beautiful little pear vortex after his sister laughed, and wanted to give her a big hug like when she was a child, but she was bumped away by the eldest brother next to her.

"Jiu'er..."

Shen Ruyi's lips were pursed, the contours of his face were as sharp as a knife, and the emotions of chagrin, remorse, and heartache in his invisible eyes were obviously menacing, but they could be seen closely but there was no trace of them, and they were fleeting.

This familiar look made Rujiu's heart vibrate, followed by heart-rending pain.

A few days before the eldest brother left, he was still awkward with him because of a trivial matter, and he looked at himself like this when he left, but he finally let him go with disappointment, she never thought that it would be the last side, if she knew, if she knew...
