Speaking of this, tears had already flowed out of Li Lin's eyes.

"I looked at my mother's face, and my mind went blank at that moment, and I didn't know how to answer her. yes, what am I doing when I come back? ”

"I later learned that my grandfather had fallen and injured himself. All eyes were on me to go back.

I said, "I miss you, I'll leave after a few days!" ”

In those days, Li Lin lived in the guest room, and every night she would open the window to look at the scenery outside, and she asked herself: Should I come back?

Li Lin's eyes were very red, tears flowed down, she didn't want to think of this memory, but she didn't know why her mind was full of this uncomfortable memory at this moment.

She stood up and walked to the window, wiped her cheek with her hand, and forced the great discomfort to turn into a self-deprecating laugh.

Yuanshu still wrapped his head in the quilt, motionless, I don't know if he heard this clearly.

"A few days later, my mother found me a better carriage, and I sat in the carriage and watched them get farther and farther away from me, and watched the scenery of the capital get farther and farther away from me, as if there was a bag of sand in my heart, and the sand was originally full, and then all the grains leaked down until I emptied my body......"

On that day, the cold wind was bitter, and the road to the border pass became wider and more empty, and Li Lin sat in the carriage and walked away

The smell of yellow sand in the air is becoming more and more familiar.

At that time, she looked at the scenery on the road, and suddenly let go of all her worries, she knew: only hard work can live better, and no one will be her dependence.

She thought a lot along the way,

Countless myriad of things have turned into a kind of power, a force that can make people strong.

Back in the barracks, Li Lin got out of the carriage, and the teacher Sun Chengxian came out of the big tent, and when he saw Li Lin coming back with something, the teacher's peaceful eyes were filled with surprise and distress.

He didn't ask her what was going on at home, he just patted her on the shoulder affectionately and said, "I'm back." ”

Li Lin, who wanted to pretend to be strong, still cried.

What kind of thing can restrain one's fear? I guess it's getting hard...... His best destination is probably to die on the battlefield.

Walking out of the memories, Li Lin looked at Yuan Shu on the bed again.

She approached him and put her hand on his quilt as if she were a young child.

"What are you? It was only one experience, and those soldiers at the border gate threw themselves into a new war before their old wounds were healed, and so on in an infinite loop. There every night he slept with his sword in his arms, and any disturbance was a battle at any time.

If all the men were like you, we would have perished a long time ago....."

Li Lin gently patted his back with his hand, and finally got up to leave.

After she left, Yuanshu finally showed his head and looked in the direction of the doorway, thoughtfully

The moment he came out of King Rong's Mansion, Li Lin regretted it.

She didn't know why she had just told Yuanshu so much, and how much could she understand these things based on his experience? Li Lin turned around, looked up at the plaque on the top of King Rong's Mansion, and immediately felt a trace of loneliness in his heart.

What if you say more?

He won't understand.

Zheng Guofuzhong,

Zhao Zhen saw that Li Qi was lost, asked the reason, and heard that Li Lin had moved to the teacher's mansion, but he thought it was a good thing.

Li Qi sighed again and again:

"Li Lin rarely tells us what she thinks, and over the years I have watched her and her family relationship become more and more alienated, and if it continues like this, it will become a stranger sooner or later."

Zhao Zhen patted his buddy and comforted: "Her relationship with your family is already like this, let her be...... People are not plants and trees, Zheng Guogong's approach is indeed inappropriate. ”

To be honest, Li Lin has such a strong personality, Zhao Zhen admires it a little in his heart.

"She's already an adult who can tell right from wrong, so let her go, and live there by herself!"

At this point, Li Qi had no choice but to think so.

Then the two got down to business.

Li Qi asked Zhao Zhen: "The case is ....."

Speaking of the case, both of them felt a headache at the same time.

Zhao Zhen rubbed his head with a fan and said: "This person behind the scenes is not easy to investigate, since the other party dares to do such a thing, there must be strict preparations."

The third prince specially recommended Di Yinjie to the emperor, praising him for his quick thinking and observation.

Facts have proved that this young Di Yinjie is indeed doing practical things, and he has sorted out the direction with great efficiency.

The troupe itself is a well-known team in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, and later performed for the royal family in the capital, but after the emperor issued an order a month ago, the class owner was injured and temporarily replaced by a newcomer.

For a while, the contradictions were focused on the new class master. Coincidentally, after Yuanshu's accident, the new class master has disappeared!

This obvious conspiracy flavor made Dali Temple investigate it in one go.

Li Qi said: "Now our people are similar to the things found in Dali Temple. That Di Yinjie...... Very capable. ”

"I didn't expect that there were still ...... people doing practical things in the DPRK," Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head.

Li Lin repacked the teacher's mansion, and she made the decorations in the courtyard look like a big tent in the barracks.

For a while, it was as if I had returned to the border.

The courtyard was full of weapons, and a large topographic map was made, but unfortunately, no one else was there.

Li Lin finished cleaning up and sat in front of the desk, looking at everything in the yard.

At this time, in the dead of night, Li Lin couldn't help but think back to what had happened before. None of the messy things have yet to be answered, and new questions are popping up all the time.

Regarding the matter of Miss Dong family before, she guessed: her brother Li Qi and Zhao Zhen must be the ones who know the real layout, they are actually clear about everything, Miss Dong and the six princes have a close relationship, and this matter is inseparable from him.

However, after all the previous experiences, this thing seems to be in the past, and it seems that the page is being turned.

Compared with this, she wanted to know who wanted to harm Yuan Shu and actually created such a terrifying Taibai Lou incident.

Li Lin carefully recalled the previous things, especially the time in Dongcheng, he thought of the man in black who followed them, at this time, it seemed that it was indeed not King Rong's deployment.

Who's printing the album? Messing things up like this?

Did you do all this alone? And what is the purpose?

One mystery after another made Li Lin feel that many things were beyond the scope of his imagination.

A few days later, Li Lin suddenly received an invitation from Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen suddenly wanted to set up a banquet and invited her.

This confused Li Lin.

Li Qi forcibly pulled her to the door of the restaurant, saying that Zhao Zhen felt guilty about what happened before, so he set a table of food to apologize to Li Lin.

For Li Lin, Zhao Zhen did feel a little guilty, because of her own cleverness, she almost lost her life, almost causing a big mistake.

No matter how your own mistakes are, you can't wash them away.

Li Lin didn't take Zhao Zhen to heart, the previous misunderstandings overlapped and were difficult to explain, and at the beginning, his brother and Zhao Zhen didn't foresee that things would develop like that, in the final analysis, neither intended to harm the other.

Li Lin stood at the door of the restaurant and didn't want to go in.

Zhao Zhen walked out of it, walked all the way to Li Lin, and said in a rare sincere tone: "Li Lin, I did something wrong before, and I almost hurt you, I apologize to you." ”

Seeing that he was so humble and rare, Li Lin was also a little surprised and very unaccustomed.

said: "The previous things are all in the past, and I have nothing in the first place. ”

"Today's meal is specially made to make amends to you in Ji'an!"

"No need to invite you to dinner, we don't have these particulars like you."

"How's that going to work!"

Zhao Zhen was a little serious and said, "How can you show your heart if you are not solemn." ”

Li Qi kept pushing Li Lin to go to the restaurant.

said with a smile: "Zhao Zhen has not invited a guest once in eight hundred years, you have to cherish the opportunity......

Li Lin was a little helpless about the approach of the two people: "I don't like to eat out in the first place. ”

Li Qi was afraid that his sister would run away: "The tables upstairs are all set." ”

Zhao Zhen continued: "Not only me, but Yuan Shu should thank you, you are his savior!" ”

Li Lin smiled faintly: "Let him recuperate well, if something so big happens, I don't know how long it will take to slow down." ”

As soon as the words fell, her eyes suddenly saw the black figure standing at the top of the stairs, and at this time, Yuanshu was standing there wearing a black satin and blue coat, looking a little taller.

Yuanshu was standing there motionless.

Li Lin was stunned, thinking that he had seen his senior brother Yuan Yu, who had never worn such mature clothes before, and seemed to have grown into an adult overnight.

Li Lin didn't expect him to recover so quickly, and he was also surprised, only to see Yuan Shu walking in front of her. As soon as he spoke, he still showed his tiger teeth: "Sister Lin....."

Although he was still a little childish, he suddenly felt a little more steady between his eyebrows, and seemed to suddenly come out of the shadows.

Four people sat at the table.

The atmosphere was a little weird.

Zhao Zhen coughed a few times, reached out and poured a cup of tea, and said, "I'll do it first." ”

He said: "In the future, everyone will release their previous suspicions, and it will be the same as before!"

Li Qi hurriedly cooperated: "Yes, yes! ”

After saying that, I also had a drink.

Li Qi was just accompanying him this time, and he wanted the relationship between the few of them to ease up a little through this meal.

In fact, to put it mildly, Li Lin and Zhao Zhen didn't have a deep friendship in the first place, but they had a good relationship with Yuanshu, and this incident had the greatest impact on the relationship between the two of them.

Zhao Zhen secretly gave Yuan Shu a look, only to see that Yuan Shu had been sitting up straight, looking a little nervous, he saw his uncle's eyes, and quickly mustered up the courage to pick up the cup, and said, "Sister.... I was wrong before..."

Li Lin looked at him, his expression was still calm, and he even showed a little politeness: "It's okay, it's all over." ”

Yuan Shu wanted to say something, but he was a little hesitant.

Li Qi saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and said: "Yuanshu is young, and it is inevitable that he will be immature in doing things, and it is still quite rare to change his mistakes now." ”

"yes, yes, sometimes it's wayward." Zhao Zhen agreed.

Yuan Shu lowered his head, took out a small wooden box from his pocket and put it on the table, and said to Li Lin; "This is the gift I prepared, and I want to give it to Sister Lin."

Zhao Zhen hurriedly quipped: "Yo, there are also gifts!" Open it up and let's all see. ”

Yuan Shu pushed the small wooden box in front of Li Lin.

Li Lin didn't expect that he still had a gift to receive, and smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, I understand it." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "How can you open your heart and see what it is?" ”

Li Lin hesitated for a while, she didn't plan to ask for any gifts, let alone Yuanshu.

Seeing that everyone at the table was staring at him, he stiffened out his hand and picked up the wooden box and opened it.

When I opened it, I saw that inside was a pair of bronze earrings, polished into the shape of a weapon. One is like a sword, the other is like a shield, very delicate and small, full of creativity.

"This is ......," Li Lin was puzzled.

"These are earrings." Yuanshu's face suddenly turned red.

This pair of earrings was specially ordered by him to be made urgently, and even the pattern was designed by himself, he thought it was quite beautiful, Li Lin should be able to like it.

Zhao Zhen and Li Qi gasped when they saw this gift, and said in their hearts: "It's ugly!"

Both of them secretly felt sorry for Yuanshu's aesthetics.

Li Lin saw that it was a pair of earrings, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "It's very good-looking!" Pity.... I don't have pierced ears and don't wear earrings. ”

"Huh?"

Yuan Shu was stunned.

After Li Lin finished speaking, he closed the box and gently pushed it back to Yuanshu.

Only then did Li Qi realize that Li Lin had never had his ears pierced like a man for so many years, which was incredible!

And he never found out.

Zhao Zhen and Yuan Shu also didn't find that Li Lin didn't have pierced ears, this was the first woman they had seen without pierced ears since they were children.

Zhao Zhen thought to herself: I just said that I always felt that something was weird, and I always felt that there was something missing on her face, it turned out that there was no ear piercing.

Li Qi thought to himself: I have to get her ear pierced quickly when I turn around! Otherwise, how to bring earrings when you get married in the future.

Yuan Shu was a little disappointed. "Even if you don't wear it on your ears, you can collect it."

"I've always been very aggressive, in case I lose it."

It was clear that Li Lin was refusing.

She pushes the gift back to Yuanshu.

"A la carte!"

Zhao Zhen hurriedly changed the topic, turned his head and said to Li Lin: "When you have your ears pierced, let Yuanshu send a new one!" ”

"Yes! At that time, I am afraid that Yuanshu's pocket money will not be enough to spend. Li Qi also said.

This dinner is destined to be spent in embarrassment.

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Zhen's entourage came upstairs to say a few words to him, and Zhao Zhen's face became slightly serious.

He covered his mouth with a fan and said in Li Qi's ear: "New clues have come out." ”

Li Qi put down his chopsticks, and the two glanced at each other.

They all stood up. Said: "We still have business to leave, you can eat." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said to Yuan Shu: "King Rong's Mansion and General Sun's Mansion are exactly in the same direction, and it just so happens that you will take Sister Li Lin for a ride when you go back." ”

After saying that, the two walked away.

As soon as the two left, the atmosphere on the table instantly reached the freezing point, and no one warmed up the scene

Li Lin put down the cup and said to Yuanshu: "Actually, I've eaten enough, so I'll go back too." ”

Yuanshu kept looking at her quietly, "But you didn't eat a few bites of food......"

Li Lin said: "I am not hungry. ”

Saying that, she had already stood up, "Let's leave first, go back and rest." ”

Yuanshu was reluctant to take this rare opportunity to eat, and originally wanted to say a few more words to her, but now it seems that the opportunity is slim.

Coming out of the restaurant, Yuan Shu looked indescribably ashamed and said, "Then I'...... The carriage is over there, give you a ride! ”

Li Lin looked at the lively street, "No. You go back first, I'm just going to buy something. ”

When she said this, Yuanshu felt a clear resistance.

"Sister!"

He mustered up the courage to ask, "You still haven't forgiven me, have you?" ”
