"Che'er, what tricks are you playing today?" Mrs. Xu was blindfolded by him with a cloth, holding his hands and feet while cautiously walking forward tentatively, "My mother is a handful of years old, and you still have to make fun of me." ”

"Watch out for the steps"

Xu Che watched his mother cross the steps step by step, with a smile on his face, and said, "At this time, mother will boldly go forward, I guarantee that you will be shocked when you see it." As he spoke, he led Mrs. Xu to sit down.

"Oh, then I have to be careful, if I am scared to see Hades, you unfilial son will be punished," said her, and the strip of cloth was removed from her eyes.

Lan Xue, who had just hid in the crown of hair, saw that there were thousands of rouge on the tree, and a pink and white mist underground, covering the square inch under Xu Che's feet like a dream.

"Good boy, why am I shaking so much, it turned out to be a swing," she remembered in a trance the happy time when she was a girl, a swing, and a few sisters played with it for an afternoon, "at that time, I also loved this swing, but once I played crazy and threw it out from above, and there was nothing for the person, but the arm was scratched by a branch, and I never touched it again." ”

Mrs. Xu got up and broke an apricot blossom, "You kid, you are clever, you can insert other people's apricot blossoms into your own tree, if you can use this mind to study, it is possible to explore the flowers, and save your father from saying that there is no official in his family." ”

"The beautiful scenery that the child personally arranged was vulgarized by his mother's words."

Mrs. Xu pinched the apricot blossom in her hand, and her heart sank, "That's it, you are used to playing urine recklessly." ”

At this time, Mrs. Xu's personal maid Yuchuan walked over, "Madam, young master, the master came back early today, and dinner has been arranged according to your instructions." ”

Lan Xue climbed from his head to the ground, watched them walk away and turned into a human form, picked up an apricot blossom that Mrs. Xu threw on the ground, and pulled up all the blue hair. He put on the wide hood on his blue coat and sat on the swing looking at the apricot blossoms on the trees in a daze.

As soon as she was born, her parents were gone, and family affection was something that I couldn't experience when I returned to nothingness.

The girl's back fluttered on the swing like a cloud, and the apricot blossoms seemed to be blown into snow by the spring breeze, falling on the back of the white hand. Her swaying toes brought the falling flowers all over the ground, a graceful dance.

Xu Che, who turned back, looked a little stunned, so wonderful, I would rather not know if it was the snow entangled in the flower, or the flower body wrapped around the snow?

"In the shadow of the apricot blossoms, the flute is played until dawn." He accidentally read out the poem she had written in mid-air with a stroke of her finger pen, "The girl is from the house? ”

The arm that fell in mid-air suddenly stiffened, at this hour, ordinary servants were confined by him outside the courtyard, so she turned into a human form to find a clean here, I didn't expect that I missed you, Xu Che.

Is her identity, which she has hidden for years, about to be revealed? No, don't let him see his lake-blue hair, as soon as he finds out he's a youkai, he'll have to start fleeing again. And she doesn't want to leave here so soon.

Xu Che, who had just come behind her, saw the white hand drop the words "Don't come" in the air.

"Then I'll stand here and play a song for the girl, and as it happens, my father gave me a jade flute, and then the girl will write a flute." He looked at the white apricot blossom-like arm with a delicate blue snowflake pattern engraved on it, and suddenly remembered that his blue snow also had the same pattern.

A flute sound, surrounded by the apricot blossom tree, she seemed to have something floating in her heart, just turned her head back to the original place, and the soft flute fell a long mournful tune, which could not help but cause people to think deeply.

"If I come forward, will the girl have to leave?" He turned the jade flute in his hand, but his eyes never left the blue figure, "Meeting is fate, if the girl refuses to show up, can she leave her name?" ”

If you insist on coming, can I stop you half a step? It's just that when you know, I'm afraid it's the moment when you and I break off. It's just that the song is slightly sad, the apricot blossoms are extremely beautiful, her white arms are actually raised, the sleeves slip off, the blue snowflake pattern is extremely dazzling on the arms, and the white jade-like fingertips drop two words in the air.

"Apricot Blossom"

On this day, the sky was a little heavy, Xu Che learned from a small guy in the house that a gambling house had set up an extremely interesting project, called Rolling Tianlun, and took the money and hurriedly took Lan Xue to the excitement.

"I see, it's not about which grade is higher in the round balls dropped, it's just that if you drop three balls in a game, the chance of winning is small." He watched a ball fall out of the rolling hollow rosewood roller, engraved with the word father, and then the dealer shouted, "No. 1, father, buy and leave, next, to roll No. 2 and No. 3." As soon as the family moves, you can count it as ours again. ”

The spectators have already pressed it, and this kind of luck thing can't be determined. Xu Che pressed a silver ingot on the No. 1 father, and one person pressed the No. 2, and said with a smile: "If it is your grandfather who comes out, then you will lose a lot." ”

"It's okay, Sangang Wuchang, if it's my mother who comes out, then I'll win," Xu Che was saying, and the rolling Tianlun over there slipped a round ball, "It seems that today's luck is not too bad." ”

"Oops, I knew I would have pressed the number three"

"It's not, just by seeing the mother-in-law, nine times out of ten you will lose" The other pressed the number three, echoing, but the moment he saw the ball, the calmness on his face instantly turned heavy.

The dealer shouted again: "No. 3, son, No. 1 wins." ”

"Oops, I didn't expect this to be the number one victory," the man who pressed the third flicked his sleeves and left, "Misstep"

Xu Che, who has seen the rolling family, has lost interest in this kind of three outlines and five constants, and when he was leaving the private room, he saw a middle-aged man popping out of the private room next door.

"Brother Xing, you have lost all the money on you, how long do you plan to hold the money you owe us to the gambling house?"

The man in a cloth suit on the ground covered his chest, coughed twice, got up quickly, and ran out, and the two men in the gambling house chased him out with iron rods in their hands.

Xu Che, who was not interested, walked out of the gambling house with the silver. The sky outside was stuffy, Xu Che had just passed the alley outside the gambling house, and took a few steps back, and when he turned his head sideways, he saw two pink-clothed women pressed by strong men looking at him pleadingly.

"I thought I heard it, you were calling me just now," as soon as he passed by, he heard someone shouting Xu Gongzi, but he didn't expect it to be her, "Two brothers, there is something to discuss, and you have to eat prison if you are a traitor." ”

"Debt repayment, her father owes us a hundred taels of gambling debts in our gambling house," he glanced at Brother Xing, who had broken a leg by the wall, and squinted at Xu Che, "We have to arrest her to pay off the debt." ”

"If the son falls in love with this girl, the old man will sell her to the son, and only ask the son to be kind enough to repay my gambling debt."

Brother Xing lay on the ground and didn't forget to kowtow to him, and Xinghua, who was put on the ground, was silent, just looked at Xu Che very sadly, and then hung his head and cried.

"That's how my mother was sold by you, today, is it my turn?" Xinghua said twitching, her shoulders kept shaking, and then she cried while struggling desperately: "Why, why should we bear the wrong things you have committed." If there is a knife in this world that can cut off the bloodline, then I will definitely cut off this ridiculous father-daughter relationship without hesitation. ”

Xu Che's eyes lowered, what did the resentful pink-clothed woman in front of him go through, so that she could say such a rebellious word so categorically, after all, the only thing that can't be changed in this world is blood.

"That's probably enough."

The two who expected to be able to take the money let go of the apricot blossoms in their hands, stepped forward to take Xu Che's money bag and left.

"It's okay," Xu Che stepped forward and looked at the tears on her face with his long sleeves, "He is still your father after all, don't say such angry words in the future." ”

"Thank you Gongzi Xu," she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Such a great kindness, Xinghua can't repay it." ”

"Get up," he put his hand in front of Xinghua's eyes, and when he saw that she was just staring blankly at his palm, he took her hand and placed a silver ingot on her somewhat rough palm, "Take your father to the doctor." ”

She kowtowed heavily, and then Brother Xing, who was on the side of the wall, left step by step.

"Lan Xue, it's time for us to go too."

He lifted the crown of hair on his head, and when he turned around, he saw four strong men with weapons standing by the wall, waving the tip of the knife in his hand, and one of them raised his eyebrows and said, "I just won, and I am in a hurry to leave?" Why, don't plan to go back and ask your little follower to help you win a few more rounds. ”

"What? I didn't actually try to win by luck," he looked at Lan Xue who climbed onto his shoulder in surprise, "Lan Xue, if you know that you still have this hand, I should let you play more." ”

"Give it all the money, and we may be able to spare you, but the spider must stay."

"This, this, I can't beat you big brothers." Xu Che's hand grabbed the blue snow on his shoulder, and just when they thought Xu Che was going to hand it over obediently, he turned around and ran away.

"I'm miserable by you" Xu Che ran while watching the blue snow in his hand quickly climb up to his shoulder, and then he just ran desperately, waiting until he was so tired that he was panting against the wall, only to realize that something was wrong.

"Didn't they swear that they would arrest you?" Xu Che spoke intermittently, turning his head sideways but not seeing the blue figure on his shoulder. "Lan Xue, it's strange, why haven't you even seen a shadow?"

"You come out for me, I dare to hide if I pit Young Master Ben," he lowered his head and shook the crown of hair on his head, but he didn't see her swaying from side to side again, shaking her clothes and saying, "If you don't come out again, I will hang up your little short legs and beat them hard." ”

Xu Che looked around, but still didn't see the little blue figure.

Oops, the people at the gambling house didn't catch up, isn't this stupid spider throwing himself into the net? Lan Xue, Lan Xue, aren't you usually quite clever, why did you become stupid when it came to the critical moment.

It's just that it's easier to come and catch yourself than a little spider? No, what those people planned to catch from the beginning was Lan Xue.

It was raining, and wet raindrops fell in the oppressive and dull air, and Xu Che, who was running back along the road, was startled when he saw four strong men lying on the ground.

"Scared me." With his hand pressed to his heart, his gaze fell on the little blue spider on the ground, but he squatted down to probe the pulse of those people on the ground, beating vigorously, and he just fell asleep.

"You really are, if you had done it earlier, I wouldn't have had to run as desperately as I could, and you wouldn't have to be so embarrassed," he squatted down in front of her, and lifted her wet with a doting face, and landed in the palm of his right hand, protecting his chest. The wide sleeve of the other hand was placed on top to keep the rain falling for her, "We can go home early." ”

Lan Xue leaned on his warm palm, feeling very stable inexplicably. Before, she only felt that she just had a good place to see the outside and hide, but now, has this person become her guardian?

Listening to the sound of the rain falling, the flute sounded inexplicably, and something was surging in my heart.

It's just that she can't hate it anymore on such a rainy day.
