In front of the gate of Linyuan City, people come and go, so lively.

Ji Yan looked at the sign hanging on the city gate very familiarly, he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

"Lady, I seem to have been to this place."

"Yan, this is your home." With that, she led him into the city gate.

"I ...... My home? ”

Looking at the familiar street market, Ji Yan's mind flashed many vague memory fragments, and his heart seemed to be crushed by a boulder, so that he couldn't breathe.

Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes were confused, and he took Yun Yue's hand and said, "Lady, I don't like it here, shall we leave?" ”

She took his hand and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid. ”

Yun Yue originally wanted to go to Fuxu Mountain to find his brother's whereabouts after sending Ji Yan home, but now it seems that there are unpleasant memories of him here, maybe his family is also full of intrigues, just pushing him back like this, will it hurt him instead?

Thinking about it like this, she had to inquire about Ji Yan's identity in the Ji family first.

In the past few days, Yun Yue and Ji Yan have been drinking tea in the teahouse, often sitting all day, and they have also heard a lot about the five mysterious families in the rivers and lakes.

The five mysterious families of the rivers and lakes are the Linyuan Chengji family, the Meng family of Qihanzhou in the north, the Jiang family of Liyashan in the west, the Su family of Changshanmen in the east, and the Fujia in southern Xinjiang in the south.

The head of these five great families is the Ji family of Linyuan City, the current city lord of Linyuan City, Ji Jin, has only one son under his knees, and that person is the white-clothed young man in front of Yun Yue who is content to eat sugar gourds.

If the Ji family only has one son, Ji Yan, then there should be no brother and brother killing each other to fight for power and profit, but why is he unwilling to go back?

Anyway, he should go back to his place, and if he can't think of something, he won't want to think about it, which is actually quite good.

"Ayan."

When the young man heard this, he raised his head, the sugar residue hung on his lips, and he smiled extremely happily: "Lady, this sugar gourd in Linyuan City is really good." ”

"Are you still eating?"

"Eat!"

Out of the teahouse, Yun Yue bought two more strings of sugar gourds for Ji Yan.

"Ladies eat too!" As he spoke, the young man smiled and handed the sugar gourd to Yun Yue's mouth.

She took a bite lightly and said with a smile: "Sticky teeth, you can eat." ”

At this time, the sky has darkened, the streets and alleys are gradually hung with colorful lanterns, and the lake next to the long bridge is full of river lanterns full of red candles, like stars in the night sky falling to the bottom of the river.

Ji Yan had never seen a river lantern, and he said happily: "What is on the water of the lady?" ”

"That's a river lantern."

"River lanterns? What for? ”

"Give ...... to your deceased relatives" Halfway through the words, Yun Yue thought of her mother and Sister Jing...... The tears flowed uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Ji Yan hurriedly said, "Lady, why are you crying?" ”

She wiped her tears and said, "It's okay, I'm just homesick." ”

"Then let's buy one too!"

"Okay."

After picking out the river lantern and paying, Yun Yue realized that the money in her purse was not enough, so she put down the river lantern and pulled Ji Yan to leave.

"What's wrong with the lady?"

"Don't let it go."

"Why don't you let it go? Isn't the lady homesick? ”

"Money...... Inadequate. ”

"Then I'll see if there's a gambling house around here!"

"Slow, the river lantern may not work, and it will be successful if you don't let it go."

"Lady come with me." Ji Yan pulled Yun Yue to the stone steps at the head of the bridge: "The lady is standing here and don't go away, I'll go back when I go." ”

"Ayan, where are you going?"

I saw Ji Yan squeeze into the crowd and disappeared, Yun Yue could only stand in place and wait.

It was a long time before he returned.

"Lady, lady! Look what this is! Ji Yan ran panting, holding a colorful river lantern in her hand.

Yun Yue exclaimed, "Where did it come from?" ”

"Guess the lantern riddle at the stall over there, come on, let's put the river lantern!"

Yun Yue took the river lamp in a daze, and the tip of her heart seemed to have a tingling sensation like an electric shock, as if she had been calm for a long time and finally set off ripples.

She looked up at him, and he smiled at her.

The smile was extremely clean and sincere, there seemed to be a warm current swimming in her heart, her nose was sore, and she shed tears without fighting.

"Lady, why are you crying again? Don't like this lantern? He panicked when he saw her crying, and reached out to wipe the tears from her face.

"No, I like it."

I'm sorry Yan, you treated me so well, but I had to send you back.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yun Yue used the remaining money to buy a string of sugar gourds and led Ji Yan to the gate of Ji Mansion.

"Ah Yan, how about we play a game?"

"What game lady?"

"Hide and seek, I'll hide, you come to me, you take this sugar gourd, you can eat it if you find me."

Ji Yan didn't take the sugar gourd, but said, "But what if I can't find the lady?" ”

"If so...... If you can't find me, then stand on the stone lion over there, and I'll come out, and the sugar gourd will be mine. ”

"Good! I'm sure I'll find my wife. ”

"Then you turn around, don't peek, count to a hundred, and turn around."

"Good!"

Yan, I'm sorry.

On that day, Ji Yan searched all over Linyuan City, but did not find the lady.

He remembered the agreement with the lady, so he climbed on the stone lion in front of the gate of Jifu, he was afraid that the lady would not see him, so he raised the sugar gourd that had melted in his hand.

"What people! What a bold man! How dare you go wild in front of Jifu? ”

The guard in front of the Ji Mansion reached out and pulled Ji Yan.

He slammed on the stone lion, and said vigorously: "I can't go down!" The lady will not see me! ”

He was dragged off the stone lion by the guards, and the fall was extremely painful, but he still had to climb the stone lion.

Even he couldn't count how many times he climbed.

Yun Yue didn't go far, at this moment she was standing around the corner not far away, witnessing everything that had happened.

She tried her best to restrain herself, once she went out at this moment, it would only be more difficult to send him home again.

But why didn't the guards recognize Ji Yan?

At this time, the wind suddenly rose and the heavy rain was coming, and those guards only thought that Ji Yan was a fool, and no longer cared about him, and let him climb the stone lion.

Suddenly the rain poured down, and he was still standing high on the stone lion.

Yun Yue could only watch from the sidelines and was anxious, why didn't this fool go find a place to shelter from the rain!

Fortunately, the heavy rain came and went quickly, and after a while, after the rain had passed, he was still standing there, not moving.

Why hasn't anyone in the Ji family come out to recognize him?

After a while, three people came from the side of the street and walked in the direction of Ji Yan, swearing in their mouths.

"Big brother, it's this kid who stole my river lantern yesterday!"

"Brothers, call me! Dare to rob the river lantern of the Lao Tzu brothers! ”

The three of them came up with a fat beating, and Ji Yan never fought back, holding the sugar gourd tightly in his arms and curled up on the ground.

"Stop!"

Ji Yan heard this voice, opened his eyes and saw that his lady was back.

He knew that the lady would never abandon herself!

The lady won, he has to give the sugar gourd to the lady...... To the lady.

With a dazzle in his eyes, he fainted.
