Sheng Ling'er was originally going to wait for Zixi to figure it out by herself, but it took seven or eight days in a row. , Zixi's side didn't move, but Aunt Yu stopped talking a few times, and Sheng Ling'er finally couldn't help it.

After washing up this day, I came to Zixi's house, Yumei got up early in the morning, and was moving the quilt out of the house at this time, and when she saw Sheng Ling'er coming, she beckoned: "You are here." ”

"You're up pretty early today." She was quick with her hands and feet, and said as she did something: "I cooked red bean porridge in the house, do you want a bowl?" ”

"Auntie, I've eaten, where is Zixi?"

Yu Meihua said: "He, he went to Mr. Xie early in the morning." ”

Sheng Ling'er nodded, and Yu Meihua said, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? ”

"Oh, it's fine, I'll just ask."

Sheng Ling'er said: "Then I'll go back first." ”

······················

On the way, she thought about this Mr. Xie, who had come here a year ago, and had heard that the village had suffered a great calamity, and that all his family had died, and that he had come here after escaping from the village. In his own mouth, Mr. Xie is just a scholar who has failed to make the list.

But the people in the village respect him very much, and there are only those two people who have studied in Shengjia Village, and even the scholars who fail to make the list are much more knowledgeable than them. Not to mention that Mr. Xie has other 'professions'. He often helped the villagers write some letters in the village, and this calligraphy was much better than the few people in the village who had read books.

In addition, he is also quite proficient in people and feng shui, and Shengjia Village is the same as many villages outside, and special people will be invited to ask when the family moves graves and builds houses. This is good, but it is a matter of accumulating virtue for the ancestors, and blessings can bless the next generation. It didn't take long. The village sent several children to him to study. At first, it was only two or three children, but within two weeks, the villagers realized that their children had changed drastically. Even the way he spoke and behaved was different, which made the other families in the village also think, and the scale of the original three or four people quickly expanded to about twenty people.

The younger ones are only in their teens, and the older ones are in their twenties, and they were taught by Mr. Xie separately, and the Lin Anxie, who had divorced him before, was under Mr.

Sheng Ling'er has been in Shengjia Village for so many days, and the road is already familiar, so she walked through Zixi's house to the front of the village.

After walking for a while, I arrived, and the place where Mr. Xie taught was a small courtyard. Mr. Xie stood in the middle of the courtyard. He was not holding a book in his hand, and he was wearing a white robe, but he looked bookish.

At first glance, you can see that he is a scholar, and he is also gentle and elegant, which is too different from the five big and three rough men in the village, no wonder the people in the village respect Mr. Xie very much, Sheng Ling'er thought so.

When she got to the place, she frowned slightly.

----- there was no one in the yard, and suddenly her ears moved, and she walked quickly.

Sure enough, it was Zixi.

He was hiding behind the courtyard, Sheng Ling'er walked over and said directly: "You come with me, I have something to tell you." ”

The boy looked at her with a little hope in his eyes, and then retreated again.

Sheng Ling'er held Zixi's hand: "Let's go." ”

When passing by the courtyard gate, Mr. Xie saw the two of them, stopped teaching and smiled at the two, looked at Zixi and said, "This is the child of the Yumei Blossom family." Zixi immediately saluted him: "Hello, sir." ”

Mr. Xie also smiled when he saw that he was polite: "If you want to hear it in the future, come in and sit down, I don't have you alone here." You're out there every day. It's like a quick patrol on the street. ”

He made a small joke, nodded at the two of them kindly, and turned to speak to the students under him.

Sheng Ling'er glanced at Zixi: "What's the shock, let's go." ”

She took the lead in moving forward, and Zixi hesitated for a moment and followed. Sheng Ling'er kept walking forward and didn't stop until she reached the river.

The freezing of the river has long been finished, and the warm sun of early spring shines on it, and the reflected river surface is sparkling, which is very beautiful. Sheng Ling'er sat on a large rock by the river. Seeing that Zixi was still standing in a daze: "Do it!" ”

She waited for Zi Xi'an to sit down firmly before she said, "You were a little wrong a few days ago?" Are you worried about it? What's ······ You don't have to hide it from your heart. ”

Zixi's breath leaked for two moments, and after a while, Zixi snorted, "I······ Sister Ling'er, I was wrong, were you angry a few days ago? ”

He was a little apprehensive.

Sheng Ling'er nodded directly, and without waiting for the young man to be a little panicked, he said: "I'm angry not because you are too close to my family. She looked at the water on the river and said, "Do you remember the first time I took you up to the mountains to hunt?" ”

Zixi said: "Remember." ”

Sheng Ling'er smiled faintly: "I like Zixi very much at that time." ”

Because of the straightforwardness of his words, Zixi's body stiffened for a moment······

When he spoke again, he didn't dwell on the matter, but raised his eyelashes and said tentatively, "Will you get out of here?" ”

Sheng Ling'er was a little overwhelmed by his idea of running a horse, but still replied to him: "I live here, where can I go?" ”

Zixi didn't stop, and his breathing became a little short unconsciously: "What about after that?" Will you always be in Shengjia Village? ”

Zixi looked at her eyes, not only a little stubborn, but also that desperate attitude, for fear that she would be abandoned outside the world······ He stared at Sheng Ling'er tightly, and for a moment his eyes actually had a little bit of possession and coercion.

Look closely, but it's unprovoked and a little sad.

Sheng Ling'er looked at his eyes for a while, as if she understood the reason why he was nervous these days.

The two looked at each other for a while, and the kind of fierceness in Zixi's eyes gradually retreated, replaced by a deep dazed and frightened.

"Right······ I'm sorry. ”

Sheng Ling'er could look at him coldly: "What are you sorry for me?" ”

Zixi felt like she had been pricked by a needle, and her whole body was leaking, but she bit her lip to avoid Sheng Ling'er's compelling gaze.

The golden light sprinkled on the surface of the river, reflecting the warmth and beauty of this place, but the silence quietly spread by the river······

For a long time, Zixi's mouth like a mussel shell quietly opened a slit, and the voice came from there.

"Originally, I had been at home for so many years, and I didn't think it was any better here. But here you are...... How do you look at the life that was still passable now, how uncomfortable? The man······ That is, my father, he died, but I was not a little sad and sad, do you think I am terrible? I've thought about it before, too. It would be nice if Sheng Laosan was not there, but now that he is gone, it doesn't seem to be any better, I think of him every time I have something, and I ······"

There was a thin tremor in his voice.

He was clearly sensitive and afraid.

Sheng Ling'er hesitated, put her hand on his shoulder, and patted her shoulder, which was a little thicker than before due to martial arts training.

Sheng Ling'er, who had never comforted anyone, heard her own voice: "Anyway, Sheng Laosan's people are no longer there, and no matter how scared you are in the past, this matter can be regarded as the past." ”

"From now on, no one will beat you for no reason, you are not the same as before, even if there is another person like Sheng Laosan in front of you, you will not let him bully you again, right?"

Zixi nodded: "Yes, but these are all given to me by you, if you leave one day, I don't even have a way to find you, and I'm not like Sheng Yun, she is your own sister." Either way, you'll take her with you, and I'll be different. ”

···························

Sheng Ling'er finally understood, this is what he meant.

This little cub was a little sensitive after Sheng Ling'er died, and this matter had too much impact on him. Coupled with some other gossip, Zixi clearly wanted to curry favor there and let himself be taken seriously. In fact, it's fun to say this, and the general comfort is two sentences, and this matter is over. It's a pity that Zixi doesn't know how to express it, and Sheng Linger has never gotten along with a teenager, where can she understand this?

Small things made a big battle, Zixi was still talking, as if he was giving up on himself: "You are different from people like us, I am cowardly, I don't even have the courage to resist with Sheng Laosan, one day you don't want me." I'm rolling into a mess again. ”

He can not say that he has endured it in the village for so many years, if he doesn't want to mention it, no one can force him to tell the truth, and now in front of Sheng Ling'er, he just wants to vent his panic and years of dissatisfaction.

Sheng Ling'er was already on fire in her heart at this time, and now she couldn't help it, the hand that was originally on his shoulder was a push----- her hand strength was not like an ordinary little girl who was coquettish, and almost pushed Zixi into the river.

Zixi was pushed by him. There was also some embarrassment on his face, he was over sixteen years old this year, and Sheng Ling'er was only seventeen, but Sheng Ling'er was malnourished in the past, and he looked like he was clearly the same age, and he was made like this by a girl who seemed to be the same year. He also felt a little embarrassed.

Sheng Ling'er looked at him, and the pupils of her eyes burned very brightly with anger, and blood appeared on her face.

Sheng Ling'er looked at her coldly, only to hear her say coldly: "Others don't look down on you, you are a mess, others say that you are a big hero, can you really make a contribution?" You are who you are. What do you care what other people want to do?! ”

Zixi didn't give up, and then asked, as if he had to figure it out: "······ What about you? So what do you think of me?! ”
