This is the fourth time Li Minglou has seen Li Mingyu in ten years.

She went to Taiyuan Mansion at the age of thirteen and never left, Li Mingyu was in Jiannan Road, and within ten years, she was dispatched to fight in the north and west, and only came to Taiyuan Mansion to visit her once.

Li Mingyu was seventeen years old that year, seven years have passed since the separation of the sister and brother, the child has grown into a young man, he was on the way to the war, it was raining heavily that day, the rain washed his armor, and the young man broke away the rain and fog and rushed to her face.

The first thing Li Minglou saw when he saw him was not his father, but his mother.

Both of them looked like their mothers.

Because he couldn't stay long in military affairs, Li Mingyu hurried back and forth, and the second goodbye was to get married.

Three years have faded away from the youthful atmosphere, the young man is specially here to see off his relatives, he is not wearing armor and knives, he is wearing brocade clothes, his complexion is like a voice, like a stone polished by the wind and sand, rough and tough.

"Sister, you dress up better, I'll carry you in a while." He grinned with his white teeth bared.

She didn't wait for him to carry herself, but saw his body, and it was the third time they had met.

She didn't expect the fourth meeting to be so soon.

Li Minglou stretched out his hand to hold Li Mingyu's face and looked carefully at it through the lamp under the corridor.

"Xiaobao." She called him by his nickname.

The people of the Li family call Li Mingyu Brother Yuer, but the nickname she gave him is Xiaobao, Li Mingyu has a difficult birth in less than a month, and she is born a big mouse, she is watching this big mouse grow up little by little, in the ten years of separation between the two places, although they can't meet, the letters are exchanged month by month, and each other is the closest person to each other.

It was heart-wrenching for her to watch him grow up and watch him die.

Li Mingyu didn't feel her sister's grief and joy, and after she raised her head with her face in her hands, the childish child showed a surprised look.

"Sister! What happened to you? He shouted.

He knew that Li Minglou was missing halfway and rushed to the road, and the news on the road kept passing, and the situation after Li Minglou stepped into the house had not had time to be delivered to him, and the people had already arrived.

When he looked up and saw the person in front of him, including his head and face, Li Mingyu was frightened.

"I'm fine." Li Minglou hurriedly pressed his shoulder and said softly, "Don't be afraid. ”

How do you call it okay? You can't fool a child.

Li Mingyu stared at her, but did not continue to question, he knew that Li Minglou was lying, but believed that she had a reason to do so.

What a smart child, such a smart child shouldn't have died like that.

Li Minglou held his shoulder: "It's a little something, but it's okay now, I'll find a way to solve it." ”

Li Mingyu nodded, and Li Minglou took his hand into the room and called for kumquats.

Kumquat came in and lit the lamp, took off Li Mingyu's cloak, and brought him warm tea, which Li Mingyu drank in one gulp with both hands.

Although he was well cared for on the road, it was still difficult for a ten-year-old to walk day and night, and he could see his haggard face when he took off his cloak and sat under the lamp, and there was panic in his eyes, like a lamb that had just escaped from a wolf pack.

I have already seen my relatives, the night is dark, and tomorrow will come soon, at this time, he should be allowed to sleep comfortably and comfortably, and if he wakes up tomorrow, he will talk about it.

If it was thirteen-year-old Li Minglou who would do this, twenty-three-year-old Li Minglou would not, because tomorrow would not necessarily come.

Kumquat put the tea on the table and withdrew, closed the door, and stood guard in the courtyard.

"Who sent you back?" Li Minglou asked.

Li Mingyu sat up straight on the chair: "Yuanji told me that my sister had an accident, Uncle Xiang immediately asked me to come back, and the third uncle accompanied me back." ”

Yuan Ji, Li Minglou remembered him, but he didn't have much contact, after all, there was a father who didn't need her to do anything.

Li Minglou was silent for a moment, retracting his thoughts, Yuan Ji was his father's most powerful assistant and confidant, and his father entrusted their siblings to him before his death.

It is a trust, not a command.

It's a pity that he died very early, at the end of this year or the beginning of next year? At that time, Li Mingyu described the incident in detail in the letter, expressing sadness and uneasiness.

The death of a familiar person is always unsettling, and Li Minglou sent his three cronies back to Jiannan Road in order to comfort him.

Then this matter passed, and after experiencing the death of his father, who was the most familiar and dearest, there was nothing unacceptable for Li Minglou to leave others.

But now that I look at it, I feel different, Yuanji is a different person, and his death is not the same.

Li Mingyu's answer was simple and clear, Yuan Ji was the first to know the news, not through the Li family, the soldiers and horses who escorted her obeyed his orders, and his father had soldiers and horses in his hands.

Yuan Ji did not discuss with the third uncle or anyone, and told Li Mingyu the news directly, he only recognized Li Mingyu and only obeyed Li Mingyu's decision.

And he also thinks that Li Minglou is very important, and if something happens to an important person, he must tell another important person.

"Motoyoshi is doing a great job." Li Minglou nodded.

A smile appeared on Li Mingyu's face: "What Yuanji said is right, my sister really won't blame me." ”

Li Minglou stroked his head: "You are worried about my life and death, regardless of your own life and death, you are so good to me, how can I blame you." ”

Li Mingyu's behavior is somewhat dangerous, as a sister, I want to teach him not to take risks, but if he doesn't take risks, he will die.

When the two of them died, they died together, just as when she learned of his death, she refused the persuasion of her subordinates and fled, and ran to the front yard without hesitation.

Now, live together too.

"Uncle Xiang also said that I did this very well." Li Mingyu said happily, "When he heard the news, he asked me to come back, and he also persuaded the third uncle." ”

Li Minglou's face was covered by a black cloth, and his mouth, nose and eyes only showed gaps, Li Mingyu couldn't see her face, didn't know her expression, but the hand on his head was retracted.

"Don't call him uncle." Li Minglou said.

Li Mingyu raised his head and looked at her, his eyes flashing with surprise.

Li Minglou paused: "I want to call Master Xiang." ”

Li Mingyu blinked and whispered, "Sister, don't you want to marry Xiang... Grown-ups? Without waiting for Li Minglou to speak, he straightened up and slapped the armrest with his hand, "If you don't want to marry, you won't marry." ”

The final intonation is elongated, lighthearted and fun.

Li Minglou closed his eyes slightly, and tears slid down the black cloth on his face, Li Mingyu's tone of action was his father.

Of course she doesn't want to marry, and she won't marry, it's just...

It seemed that with a lot of effort, Li Minglou opened his eyes and looked at Li Mingyu who was posing as an adult.

"I don't want to." She said.

Li Mingyu patted the handrail again: "Don't marry..."

Before the tone could be raised this time, Li Minglou, who was sitting next to him, hissed from his mouth, leaned to the side, and raised his hand to press his shoulder.

"Sister." Li Mingyu jumped up, "What's wrong with you?" ”

There was a loud noise, Li Mingyu, who jumped up, hit the table, the teacup placed on it fell to the ground and shattered, and the kumquat outside the door ran in, watching Li Mingyu support Li Minglou, she was also busy holding the other side.

"I'm fine." Li Minglou said, sitting up straight with his hands on his shoulders, and then saw the two people standing next to him with frightened expressions.

Their eyes fell on her raised arm, the sleeves slipping down to reveal her skin, patches of red festering glare on her fair skin in the light.
