The three words of Fo'an Hall, to this day, Si Jixia still remembers it very clearly.

He even remembered that there was an old woman sitting in that room who was completely different from Mo Ah Po, Mo Ah Po was kind and kind, every time she saw him, she would smile and touch his head, and give him the snacks she hid or one or two candied fruits, or some loose sesame candy, although they were all worthless little things, but for them poor people, this was already the top delicious thing, so every time he saw Mo Ah Po, he would be very happy and happy.

But the old woman in the Fo'an Hall is the same, she looks obviously not much older than Ah Niang, but she just let people call her Mrs. Tai Grandma, sitting upright on the wide couch covered with satin, there is no trace of kindness and smile on her face, cold like the Buddha statue in her room, when he first saw her, he thought that she was also like a Buddha statue without temperature, unable to speak or laugh, but how to look at how to make people feel terrible old man When he saw him, The expression on his cold face changed so much that she even called him to her, touched his head, asked his name, and asked him how old he was.

However, he also noticed that the old woman was shocked when she saw his right shoulder, and ...... Sympathy and pity?

Then he was taken out of the house, and the old woman left only Ah Niang inside, and they talked for a long, long time, and he stood outside the house from morning to noon, because no one paid attention to him, and even if there were people in the yard, they were far away from him, just like every time he went down the mountain with Daddy and Auntie, almost everyone would avoid him when they saw him, like he was some kind of plague poison, he was very sad, but he was used to it.

He still remembered that the sun was very big that day, and there was nowhere for him to shade outside the house, and he didn't dare to go into the corridor not far ahead, so he kept standing under the sun outside the house, standing and standing, he felt dizzy and weak, standing and standing, he heard the mother in the house crying, standing and standing, he fainted, unconscious.

When he woke up again, in front of him, in addition to his crying mother, there was also a beautiful young woman he had never seen before.

Later, he learned that the lady in the Fo'an Hall was the most prestigious person in this big mansion called the Hou Mansion, and even the owner of this mansion had to listen to her, and the beautiful young woman who appeared at his bedside was the one who came back to visit the lady, what Princess Yi was, called Duan Wanqing.

At that time, he wondered if the people in this big mansion didn't like to laugh, and the lady was like this, and so was this beautiful young man.

In fact, what he didn't know was that they didn't like to laugh, they just didn't like to smile at him.

Later, Ah Niang asked him to call the beautiful young woman Niang, saying that she was his own mother, he didn't believe it, and then Ah Niang said a lot of things to him, and he believed it, and after that, Ah Niang wanted to leave, but did not take him away, but asked him to go home with his own mother first, and then come to pick him up after a while.

What Ah Niang said, he believed, although he was reluctant to leave Ah Niang, although he wanted to go back to their small home on the mountain with Ah Niang, but Ah Niang said that she was going to a far, far away place, and it was inconvenient to take him there, so let him obediently wait for her to come back to pick him up, if he was disobedient, Ah Niang would be sick and sad.

He didn't want A-Niang to be sick or sad, so he was obedient, "went home" with his mother-in-law, and went back to wait for his A-Niang to pick him up.

It's just that he waited for a long, long time, year after year, day after day......

There were many, many times when he wondered if he hadn't been to the Duan Clan's Marquis's Mansion back then, hadn't followed Ah Niang into the Buddha Anthall, hadn't seen Na Tai Lady, or if he cried and begged Ah Niang to take him away, would he not have to go through all the pain after that.

He even thought that if he hadn't left his home on the mountain with A-Niang back then, even if he died early at home on the mountain, it would be better than him living alone in the medicine for years and years.

But there is no such thing as a false in this world.

This Tanglin Duan Clan's Marquis Mansion has his most painful memories, he left when he left, and he never thought of coming back.

But now he had to come back because of one thing.

Because he wanted to know who he was, whether it was a monster or a wild seed, he just wanted to know who he was, whether the answer was good or bad.

Even if Ah Nuan doesn't care who he is, he still wants to know, he doesn't even know why he was born in this world, he feels that he can't be by Ah Nuan's side at all, if his life experience will bring disaster to Ah Nuan, how should he deal with himself, how to face Ah Nuan?

Duan Wanqing died, and Prince Yi was detained in Beijing with no freedom, and they didn't want to tell him who he was, so what he wanted to know could only be found out from the Duan Clan's Marquis's Mansion.

The Mo Yupei left by Duan Wanqing had the answers he wanted to know, but he couldn't read it, and he needed someone to help him answer it.

And this person, except for the lady in the Fo'an Hall he had met once thirteen years ago, maybe there was no one in the world who could help him solve his doubts, he had thought that maybe this lady was no longer in this world, but now it seems that her old man is still alive.

Fo'an Hall is still in the original place, from the side gate to Fo'an Hall Lu Si Jixia only walked once when he was seven years old, but he still remembers how this road went, this road and the past he didn't want to look back on, deeply engraved in his heart, not that he wanted to forget, he could forget.

This way from the side door direction to Fo'an Hall, Si Jixia avoided the eyes and ears of the people in the house, and entered the courtyard where Fo'an Hall was located silently with Dong Nuan.

At this time, the courtyard was quiet, there was no figure, only a wind lamp was gently swaying under the porch in front of Fo'an Hall, as for the figures, they were all piled up outside the moon gate of the courtyard, and they all looked at the direction of the courtyard uneasily, but no one dared to step into the moon gate without permission.

It can be seen that everyone is afraid of Mrs. Tai's words, and they are afraid that if they dare to enter this courtyard, they will provoke Mrs. Tai to die in the Fo'an Hall, so they can only wait anxiously for the arrival of the people who can persuade Mrs. Tai to leave this Fo'an Hall and leave this Hou Mansion.

Because of this, when Si Jixia came into this courtyard with Dong Nuan, no one noticed it, so they walked to the door of Fo'an Hall with the door open.

It's just that Si Jixia's steps are very slow, very slow, so slow that it seems that every step of him carries an extreme heaviness, and when he walked to the open door of Fo'an Hall, he stopped going inside, and stopped outside the door.

He stopped, Dong Nuan also stopped, he didn't speak, Dong Nuan was silent, because at this moment, it was not her time to speak, there were some things that she could help if she wanted to help him.

Just like this knot in his heart, without her when he tied this knot, when he needed to untie it, she couldn't help him, all she could do was to stand beside him and give him the courage to face everything.

"Who! Who's out there!? Just when Si Jixia stopped outside the Fo'an Hall, a woman's cold questioning voice suddenly came from inside the room, and then I saw a forty-five or sixteen-year-old woman suddenly appear on the inside of the threshold, the speed is quite fast, it can be seen that there are some fists and feet, this woman was originally a fierce face to scare people, but when she saw Si Jixia standing outside the door, just one glance, she was stunned.

This woman, Si Jixia, still remembers that she had been serving by Mrs. Tai's side thirteen years ago, and he didn't remember her name, although she was much older, her hairstyle remained the same, that is, even the clothes on her body remained the same, and it was not difficult to recognize her.

Si Jixia was not surprised or stunned when he saw the woman who suddenly appeared, but only bowed slightly at the woman, and said politely: "In Xia Jixia, I ask to see Mrs. Tai." ”

"You, you...... Are you—" The woman stared at Si Jixia's face, so shocked that she couldn't even speak, as if she remembered Si Jixia.

The woman couldn't say the next words in a trembling voice for a long time, so Si Jixia said again: "In Xia Jixia, I asked to see Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Lao reported it on my behalf." ”

At this moment, the old woman's slow voice came from inside the house, although it was slow, but with a faint majesty, "Qinggu, who is outside?" The old man said that he would not see anyone and let them go. ”

Qinggu didn't answer the words of Mrs. Tai in the house, but just looked Si Jixia up and down with wide eyes, and then hurriedly turned around and returned to the Fo'an Hall behind her.

Dong Nuan was still holding Si Jixia's hand, his five fingers were trembling slightly, which showed that his heart was not as calm as his complexion.

I don't know what Qinggu said to Mrs. Na in the Fo'an Hall, but after a while, I heard the sound of tuk tuk coming from the house when a cane hit the ground, Si Jixia's hand trembled a little, and Dong Nuan grabbed his hand tightly.

The wind lamp under the corridor shook suddenly, and Qinggu appeared in Si Jixia's sight with an old woman with a slight back and white hair.

I saw that the old woman's eyes were trembling all the time, staring straight at Si Jixia's face for a long time, and then staring straight at his right shoulder, and then said in a trembling old voice: "It's you...... It's you back......"

"This is the retribution of the Duan clan, retribution......"

Si Jixia's shoulders trembled, and he looked at Mrs. Tai in front of him fixedly, and at the same time grabbed Dong Nuan's hand, so that he could feel the temperature of her palm more deeply.

The furnishings in the Fo'an Hall are exactly the same as thirteen years ago, and the Buddha shrine is still in its original position, that is, the pot of flowers placed by the door, which is still the same Guanyin lotus, which has not changed.

The only thing that has changed is the people in this Buddha Temple.

Si Jixia remembered that the old woman known as Mrs. Tai originally looked no more than forty-one or twelve, but now it was only thirteen years later, and she was as old as if thirty years had passed, her hair was pale, her face was full of wrinkles, and even her back was rickety, if it were not for the crutches in her hand as support, I was afraid that she would not even be able to walk steadily.

Si Jixia couldn't say how he felt when he saw this lady again, he only felt that time was a strange thing, making life, making people live, making people old, and making people die.

Mrs. Tai was still sitting on her wide couch covered with soft silk as before, Si Jixia and Dong Nuan sat on the Taishi chair placed against the wall in front of the wide couch, and Qinggu stood next to the wide couch, looking at Si Jixia who was still a little unable to come back to her senses, and her face was full of disbelief.

Because the chair was separated from the chair by a few small points, Dong Nuan's hand could not hold Si Jixia's hand, so Si Jixia's hand could only be put on his lap, gently clenched into a fist, looked at the serious Mrs. Tai, and said slowly: "Mrs. Tai...... Remember me. ”

The person in this high gate still remembered him, which made Si Jixia a little shocked, and it was not only Mrs. Tai who remembered him, but the Qinggu also seemed to remember him, and remembered it very clearly, otherwise she would not have shown such a shocked look when she saw him.

They...... Why do you remember him so much?

"You look so much like your mother, how can the old body not remember you?" Mrs. Tai said with a sigh, Si Jixia felt that her eyes when she looked at him were still the same as before, there was sympathy, and pity, and there seemed to be ...... at this moment Remorse?

"My ...... Mother? Hearing the word "mother", Si Jixia's hand clenched into a fist shook suddenly, and his face turned slightly pale.

"Yes, your mother." Mrs. Tai was talking slowly, but she suddenly raised her voice, and Si Jixia's eyes suddenly became sharp, and her tone became a little calm, "The old body knows that you will come back, and one day you will come back, come back to take revenge on the Hou Mansion, and now that your goal has been achieved, you are back to see the fate of the Hou Mansion, right!?" ”

"The Hou Mansion has become what it is now, is it because of you!?" Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai's eyes suddenly became hideous, and she had the urge to rush forward and pinch her boss Ji Xia's throat.

The statue of the Buddha in the shrine sat there quietly, looking at everything in front of him with charitable eyes, but he never spoke, and he never cared about the suffering of the people in the world.

Si Jixia was stunned, he thought ...... I thought that in this mansion, at least this lady who had touched the top of his head and asked his name would not be disgusted to see him, but he thought wrong, thought wrong......

Dong Nuan's eyes were cold, and he felt that his heart was burning with anger, and when he was about to stand up, Si Jixia raised his hand and grabbed her hand on the small table.

Dong Nuan was slightly stunned, only to see Si Jixia smile softly at her, without saying a word, but just holding her hand tightly.

Dong Nuan felt that her heart hurt very much, because she saw the sadness in Si Jixia's eyes, which made her feel that it was a wrong decision for her to accompany him to this Hou Mansion.

The words of the lady were still ringing harshly, like a desperate person attributing all the misfortunes that happened to him to others and this unfair world, with resentment and anger, "You shouldn't have been born in this world, you were born in this world to bring disasters to people, you killed your adoptive parents, killed Qing'er, killed Kun'er, and now you have caused the Hou Mansion to go home!" ”

Si Jixia's face turned pale in an instant, his pupils widened slightly, and his hands trembled violently.

Dong Nuan was shocked, she wanted to stand up, she wanted to fight back at this lady who was like a needle, she wanted to hug his peace, but she couldn't do this, it wasn't that she didn't want to, it was that she couldn't, because Si Jixia grabbed her hand so hard that she could feel the pain, he didn't want her to stand up at this time, he didn't want her to conflict with anyone in the Hou Mansion at such a time.

He seemed to just want to hold her hand so tightly that it was enough, and that was enough to give him the courage to sit here.

"You-" Mrs. Tai's eyes were full of hideousness, and she was going to say something that made Si Jixia even more painful, Si Jixia bit her lower lip tightly and closed her eyes slightly, Dong Nuan stared at Mrs. Tai coldly, and her hands trembled terribly, if it weren't for Si Jixia stopping her, such a person, she would definitely let her be played to death by poisonous snakes!

"Grandma." At the moment when Mrs. Tai was about to say something more ugly and vicious, a man's warm but hoarse and weak voice came from outside the house, just such an ordinary voice, which immediately made Mrs. Tai's face fade from her hideousness, replaced by nervousness, pity and concern, hurriedly got off the couch, did not look at Si Jixia, and walked hurriedly outside the house by Qinggu.

However, before she could take a few steps, she saw someone step into the threshold and enter the sight of Si Jixia and Dongnuan.

I saw that the person who came was about six feet tall, looked like he was thirty-one or twelve years old, wearing a green jade crown, covered with a light gray silk robe, his face was pale, and there was a thick blue ash under his eyes, which seemed to have accumulated for many years, and he couldn't dissolve at all, and his body was thin, as if a gust of wind would blow it down, and at first glance it felt a little similar to Si Jixia.

"Li'er, you're not well, why did you come here!?" Mrs. Tai reacted when she saw the visitor's expression, as if the person was a treasure in her palm, and her eyes were full of love and pity.

Si Jixia smiled faintly, all day long, except for Ah Nuan, no one would show him a look of pity, in their eyes, it turned out to be not only a wild seed, but also a disaster.

"My grandson has seen my grandmother." The man coughed lightly, and after politely saluting Mrs. Tai, he raised his eyes to look at Si Jixia, who was looking at him and Mrs. Tai with a mournful smile, and his eyes met.

At this time, Dong Nuan also saw the man's face clearly, and her eyes sank a little.

Because she saw in the person who came, the gray color of her life was not long.

"My grandson has seen my grandmother." The man coughed lightly, greeted Mrs. Tai politely, looked at Si Jixia and Dong Nuan, who were sitting in the room, and said softly, "It turns out that Grandma Tai has guests, has your grandson disturbed Grandma?" ”

"You kid, what are you talking about, how can you come to grandma to disturb or not disturb?" Mrs. Tai stepped forward to help the person who came while talking, looked behind him again, and suddenly became a little stern and said, "What about Amin?" Why aren't you waiting by your side? No one came with you!? ”

"Ahem...... Grandma don't worry, at this time, everyone in the house is busy, I can't help, it's just that, how can I let them pay attention to me, I came by myself, Ah Min, I asked him to help me pack my things. The person who came looked at Mrs. Tai's face with a stern anger, and she was not afraid, and her tone was still gentle and unhurried, "I just felt that Grandma Tai might need my help here, so I came here to take a look." ”

"Grandma doesn't need Li'er's help here, just take a break." Mrs. Tai said with pity, and turned her head to call Qinggu, "Qinggu, you-"

However, before her order could be spoken, she was interrupted by someone who came, "Grandma, I'm fine, I don't need anyone to take care of me, I don't need to bother Aunt Qing, but Grandma, it's getting dark, and everyone is waiting for Grandma." ”

Mrs. Tai's eyebrows twisted, stared at the man and said, "Li'er also wants to persuade the old man to leave this mansion!?" ”

"It's not." The man shook his head slightly, "Grandma just came to ask grandma and grandchild to go with him to see the scenery outside Dongba Town, grandchildren are so big, they haven't been out of this Dongba Town, and grandma has not seen the scenery outside Dongba Town for a long time, although it is dark now, there is no shortage of good times to start." ”

Mrs. Tai frowned tightly, and looked at the man with a pale face and a sick appearance, as if she was thinking about the truth of his words, and then listened to the man and said: "My grandson doesn't know how long I can live this life, I just want to go out for a walk, if my grandmother thinks that my grandson is a burden......"

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Tai immediately reprimanded the man, and said distressedly, "Grandma's body is not as good as before, and I don't know when I can accompany my son." ”

"Grandma Tai's body is still strong, and in the eyes of her grandson, Grandma is not old at all." The man spoke gently, his pale face made him smile and look quite difficult, only to hear Mrs. Tai sigh heavily, and patted the back of the man's hand three times, "Let's go, since even Li'er came to persuade the old body to go, then the old body will go!" ”

"Aunt Qing, Mrs. Futai go out, the second cousin and sister-in-law are waiting outside." The man bowed slightly to Mrs. Chao as if she was grateful, and gave an order to Qinggu, and before Mrs. Tai asked him what to say, she continued, "Grandma's guests will be sent out of the house by her grandson, and you can't let people add another piece of inconsiderate gossip to our Hou Mansion at such a time." ”

Mrs. Tai's eyes were uneasy, and she glanced at Si Jixia and Dong Nuan, who had already stood up and were about to leave, her eyes were full of hatred, but she heard the man cough lightly at this time, and only heard him say: "Does Grandma Tai think that grandma can't even handle such a trivial matter?" ”

"Stop, stop! It's up to you. Mrs. Tai sighed heavily, waved her hand, and said, "The old man went out to meet those girls first, so that they don't have to say that my old woman is the most troublesome." ”

Mrs. Tai seemed to know what the man really wanted in his heart, and she didn't plan to say anything more, because she knew that no matter how much she said, there was no way to change the man's decision to stay and "send off" for her.

"The second cousin-in-law, they must be happy to see their grandmother." The man gave the way to Mrs. Tai slightly, "The grandson will go out later." ”

Qinggu helped Mrs. Tai away, and before going out, she didn't forget to look back at the man, sighed silently, shook her head slightly, and stepped out of the threshold.

Dong Nuan's eyes looked coldly at the man who was covering his mouth and coughing gently, Si Jixia also looked at him, his eyes were heavy, his face was pale, he had no intention of leaving immediately, but he didn't plan to sit down again, he was just waiting for this strange man to speak, he could see that the man had something to say, if it weren't for that, he would leave Fo'an Hall with Mrs. Tai, instead of deliberately leaving to "send" the two of them uninvited guests.

After the man finished coughing, he raised his feet and walked in front of Si Jixia, and before he could get closer, Dong Nuan stood in front of Si Jixia with a cold face, reflexively wanting to protect Si Jixia.

Seeing that Dong Nuan was so nervous and cared about Si Jixia, the man couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "Little lady doesn't have to be so nervous, I look like I have a hard time lifting a thing, even if I really have bad intentions, I can't hurt your father-in-law." ”

Dong Nuan smiled coldly, "What the people in this mansion say, can you believe it?" ”

These so-called "elders" seem to only say anything to hurt her safety, who else can trust these people?

They hated to come to this world safely, but she was glad she had met him.

They regarded him as a scourge of the wild seed, but she regarded him her heaven, and her everything.

In this world, there is only one kind of person she can't forgive, and that is the person who bullies and hurts peace!

But she couldn't do anything for him, he wouldn't let her do anything for him!

"It doesn't seem to be." The man didn't mind the sneer and ridicule of Dong Nuan, but said very politely, "Don't worry, little lady, I won't hurt your father-in-law, I just want to talk to him." ”

Dong Nuan was about to say something, but Si Jixia shook her hand gently, even if it was painful in her heart, she still smiled gently at her to reassure her, and said softly: "It's okay Ah Nuan, I'm fine, it's okay." ”

"You've grown so big, and I'm really happy for you to find a girl who knows how to cherish you." The man looked at Dong Nuan, so Si Jixia was nervous, distressed for him, and uneasy for him, but he smiled with relief, and said very relieved, "If I'm not mistaken, you call Ping'an, right?" ”

Si Jixia was slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look at the man, there was no resentment and disgust in the man's eyes, there was only gentleness and kindness, while sitting down on the edge of the wide couch where Mrs. Fang Caitai was sitting, and said: "Sit down for a while, let me say something before sending you out of the house, how about it?" ”

"You...... How do you know me? Si Jixia did not sit.

"Me?" The man asked rhetorically, pointed to the chair behind Si Jixia, and said with a light smile, "I'll tell you when you sit first." ”

Si Jixia was silent for a while, and then sat down on the Taishi chair behind him again, and this time Dong Nuan did not sit, but stood behind him, put his hands lightly on his shoulders, and looked coldly at the sick man on the wide couch, which made the man cough lightly and smiled: "It seems that your little wife is really nervous about you." ”

Si Jixia knew that he couldn't persuade Dong Nuan to sit down with him, so she stood behind him, her hand was very warm, lightly on his shoulder, through the cloak and clothes, he could still feel the warmth of her palm.

As the man said, his Ah Nuan is very nervous about him and cares about him very much.

This time, Si Jixia was not ashamed or denied, but slightly tightened his left hand on his lap, looked at the man, and said nothing.

The man didn't seem to care about Si Jixia and Dong Nuan's eyes at all, he always had a kind smile on his sickly face, and when he looked at Si Jixia, there would be a little more love in his eyes, just like the loving eyes of the elders looking at the juniors, that is, even the tone of his speech was like talking to a junior who hadn't seen him for many years, "I, I saw you thirteen years ago, you were seven years old at the time, I still remember you at that time, um......"

"So high." The man smiled and raised his right hand, and gestured a short height in front of him, Si Jixia looked at the man's hand in mid-air, his body stiffened, his eyes were fixed and unmovable, Dong Nuan frowned slightly, and tightened the hand on Si Jixia's shoulder slightly.

"Your reaction tells me that I remember correctly." The man smiled, withdrew his hand and covered his mouth lightly, and coughed again, "It's just that I saw you, but you didn't see me, because ......"

When the man said this, his eyes suddenly became a little sad and regretful, and there was a gentle sigh in his tone, "Because when I saw you, the second sister was taking you away, and I went to chase it, but I couldn't catch up with the carriage that had already run, and that was the first time I hated myself so much." ”

At this, the man's face seemed to become more and more pale, and his eyes were filled with deep self-blame and remorse, mocking and regretting his incompetence.

"II...... Elder sister? The man's words were not long, but they made Si Jixia's hands tremble and tremble, his eyes were stunned, and he looked at the gentle man in front of him in disbelief, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why are you chasing ......?"

Si Jixia's words are not finished, who are you chasing? chasing the second sister in his mouth, chasing the carriage, or ...... Chasing him?

"You want to ask me why I'm chasing the carriage?" The man quickly regained his gentle complexion, "Silly boy, naturally I went after you, I don't want you to be taken away by my second sister, that kind of place is not suitable for you." ”

"But I'm still a step too late." The man shook his head slightly in self-reproach, "Actually, even if I caught up with the carriage back then, what could I do, I couldn't even save myself, how could I save you." ”

"I just don't want our Duan family to hurt you for the first time, and then hurt you a second time."

"But I still want to work hard for you, but the facts tell me that I can't do anything after all." The man said, spread out his thin hands to look at it, and sighed lightly, "I don't even know how long I can live, and I still want to save others, do you think I'm ridiculous?" ”

"Let's go, it's all in the past, it's enough to see you now, I've always wondered over the years, will your child be the same as me, I don't even know how many years I can live, fortunately not, look at your current complexion is better than mine, I don't know if it's because you have someone around you?" The man was originally saying heavy words, but suddenly changed the topic and changed his tone, and the corners of his mouth raised lightly with a smile, "I really didn't expect that I would see you again, I didn't expect you to return to the Hou Mansion again, I haven't heard anything about you in these years, and I thought that you would leave this world one step ahead of me, the sick seedling medicine jar." ”

"It's good that you're alive." The man sighed happily, "According to the second sister's temperament, it is not easy for the child to grow up to such a big age, he must have suffered a lot, hey......"

"Although you are dragging a sick seedling body like me, I am luckier than you, I have never suffered any hardships since I was a child, but you are different from me."

The man had been talking to himself, regardless of whether Si Jixia was listening or not, after talking for a long time, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something important, and then gently tapped his forehead with his hand, and shook his head slightly self-deprecatingly: "Look at me, seeing that you are only happy, I forgot to introduce myself to you and my wife." ”

"My surname is Duan, a single name is a rational character, the third in the family, and people in the house are used to calling me 'Third Master'." When the man said this, he smiled very gently and kindly, so kind that Si Jixia felt that he had seen his father and aunt again, only to hear the man still smile kindly, "It's a pleasure to see little brother Ping An again." ”

"The little brother of Ping An can call me 'third master' like others, and if the little brother does not give up, he can also call me 'uncle'." Although Duan Li was smiling kindly when he said this, there was still deep self-reproach in the depths of that smile.

Uncle......!?

In this world, in addition to Ah Nuan, there are relatives who are willing to admit his existence?

Kiss...... Person?

Sometimes, it's better to forget than to remember.

Si Jixia has always been a very smart person, he knows that he has forgotten many, many things, he only remembers that this is his home, remembers that he was born without a right arm, and remembers that his name is "Ping'an", and the rest, he doesn't remember.

But he is not sad, he is not in a hurry, he knows that there will be a day when he will remember what he has forgotten, even if there is no such day, he does not mind, because now, there is nothing bad.

He has no relatives, no wife and children, he only has himself, for the past, forgetting and forgetting, for him, there is no difference.

The only difference is that there is one more person in his family, a girl and a girl with a big belly.

The girl said that he was her benefactor, that he had fallen down the mountain for her and had been seriously injured in the back of the head, and that he had asked the girl's husband and family, but the girl did not say much, only that she had no relatives but herself.

Si Jixia felt that he was quite similar to her, only himself, but he was better than her, because he still had a home, and he was a man, although he was incomplete, but in this world, men always had to survive better than women.

In fact, even if the girl didn't say much, Si Jixia probably guessed why he saved her, thinking that she should be looking for a short time, and when he saw it, he saved it.

It's also true, a woman with no relatives and a big belly is always difficult to live, but I don't know how a girl who looks so good can have no home and no relatives?

Si Jixia naturally didn't ask this question, because no one was willing to answer such a question.

Although Si Jixia felt that there was a lot of chaos in his mind, and he knew that he had forgotten a lot of things, he didn't ask much, just like he didn't care if he had memories of the past.

One of the questions Si Jixia asked Dong Nuan was, "This is my home, right?" ”。

Dong Nuan nodded.

The second question he asked Dong Nuan was, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

Dong Nuan replied with a smile: "My surname is Dong, my name is Nuan, Nuan, Nuan, and the story." ”

Dong Nuan wanted to hide everything, but she didn't want to hide her name, because even if he no longer knew her, she still wanted him to call her "Ah Nuan" again, just a sound.

Si Jixia had already sat down to eat at this time, he was holding the bowl and drinking a big mouthful of sticky white porridge, as if he was very hungry, but he didn't care at all that his appearance of eating was seen by a stranger, this was a situation he never had in the past, he never wanted to eat in front of people in the past, because he only had one hand, he picked up the bowl, and he didn't use chopsticks anymore.

But now, he is still him, but it doesn't seem to be him anymore.

"My name is Ping'an." Si Jixia put down the bowl and glanced at Dong Nuan, who was sitting opposite him, smiled at Dong Nuan, and hurriedly lowered his eyelids, not daring to look at her more, the roots of his ears were a little red, and said, "If the girl doesn't mind, you can call my name directly, the title of 'Childe', the people of the mountains always feel a little ...... when they listen to it Odd. ”

He still didn't dare to look at Dong Nuan anymore, as if he would defile her by looking at her more.

When Dong Nuan heard Si Jixia say the word "peace", her hand on her lap trembled, her eyes were a little hot, and she nodded slightly, and said softly: "I know, Gongzi once told me." ”

"That's right." Si Jixia smiled slightly, "That's good." ”

Dong Nuan didn't speak anymore, Si Jixia just drank and ate vegetables quietly, although he said that he was a mountain and wild person, but he moved his chopsticks but it was Sven Wen, this is a behavior that is impossible for a real mountain and wild person, but he didn't notice it, it seems that he has always been like this, and he didn't feel anything wrong.

The omelette is very salty, and the sauce radish is also very salty, and the taste is a little choking, but Si Jixia has eaten it all, and drank three bowls of sticky white porridge, when he scooped the clay pot containing porridge that Dong Nuangu took from the kitchen, he was suddenly stunned, and looked at Dong Nuangu very ashamedly, and said: "I accidentally drank the porridge, I can't help it, I ...... I'll boil a pot for the girl and give it back to the girl. ”

After Si Jixia finished speaking, he stood up and hurriedly cleaned up the table, and Dong Nuan also hurriedly stood up to stop him and said, "Don't worry, Prince Ping'an, I've eaten, don't worry." ”

"But I'm ......" Si Jixia glanced up at Dong Nuan, and quickly lowered his head, his heart beating a little fast.

Because he happened to look at the warm eyes of the winter, he happened to look directly at her dark and shiny eyes, her eyes were very beautiful, black and bright like shining stars in the sky, just a casual glance can make people's hearts beat faster.

With such a pair of beautiful eyes, Si Jixia had a sense of déjà vu in his heart, but he couldn't remember when and where he had seen them.

Thinking like this, Si Jixia despised himself in his heart, although he was the savior of this girl, but this girl was already someone else's wife, although she was only herself now, he couldn't have inappropriate thoughts.

Although he is a vulgar mountain man, he still knows some gentleman's ways, and he must not be a shameless villain, he must not.

"Ping'an Gongzi was injured to save me, I stayed to take care of Gongzi, now Gongzi has woken up, I am inconvenient to stay here for a long time, it is not appropriate to disturb Gongzi too much, Gongzi saves his life, I remember it in my heart, and I will repay Gongzi's life-saving grace in the future." Dong Nuan looked at Si Jixia's flustered actions and expression, familiar as if he was so uneasy in front of her yesterday, but now it was unfamiliar.

It was because of Dong Nuan that he did not dare to stay by his side for a long time, she was afraid that she could not help it, she was afraid that she could not help but tell him about her existence, but if he remembered her, he would remember all his misfortunes.

She didn't want her peace to be burdened with any more pain, she couldn't bear it.

She couldn't help it, then she could only go, only when she left Ping'an's side and couldn't see him, she could hold back.

After Dong Nuan finished speaking, she stood up and was about to walk to the east side of the hall, but Si Jixia hurriedly called her at this time, "Girl, please wait a moment." ”

"Childe, but you have something to say to me?" Dong Nuan stopped and looked at Si Jixia, who still glanced at her and lowered her eyelids.

"Girl...... Where to go? Si Jixia asked.

"Not yet." Dong Nuan smiled lightly, and there was only a deep sadness in the depths of his eyes, "But there will always be something to look for." ”

"The place on the mountain is rough, if the girl doesn't dislike it, the girl might as well stay with me for a few more days." Si Jixia's voice was very gentle, as if he was very concerned about the warmth of winter, "As for the girl's whereabouts, I can help the girl find it, the girl is inconvenient now, and it is not suitable to work." ”

After Si Jixia finished speaking, he hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, girl, I don't have bad intentions to ask the girl to stay, it's just that the girl's current situation is really inconvenient, my house here is empty and empty, if I can help the girl, I am willing." ”

Si Jixia hurriedly finished speaking, and became a little red-faced.

"If I stay here, won't I disturb Childe?" Winter Nuan's hands hung down at his side, and he grabbed his cloth clothes tightly.

"Life in the mountains is simple, and it's good to have more people to talk to you." Si Jixia smiled a little uncomfortably, "If the girl can stay, I welcome it." ”

"Then I'll thank you Childe." Ji Xia, the old court of Dong Nuan, bowed slightly, "In this way, the little woman owes her son one more grace to take her in." ”

"The girl doesn't have to be so polite, if it were someone else, seeing the girl like this, she would also help the girl." The warm winter made Si Jixia a little at a loss.

Dong Nuan only smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.

"I have another question for the girl."

"Childe, excuse me."

"The girl said I was asleep...... How long have I been asleep? "It made him sleep with all his memories of the past.

Dong Nuan was silent before replying: "Childe slept for half a month." ”

"Half a month ......" Si Jixia had no doubts about Dong Nuan's words, just like he didn't feel too surprised that there was a woman with a big belly suddenly in his family, he believed Dong Nuan's words, "It's the girl who has been taking care of me for half a month?" ”

"Childe was injured to save me, I can't abandon Childe, even if Childe sleeps for a year and a half and doesn't wake up, I will take care of Childe."

Dong Nuan's voice was soft, and Ji Xia's heart began to pound again, he felt that his feeling was too shameful, so he hurriedly took the clay pot with the dishes and chopsticks and hurriedly went out of the house, and said nervously: "I'll take the dishes and chopsticks to wash, girl, you sit." ”

Dong Nuan did not sit in the hall, she went back to her room, locked herself in the room, and did not come out for a long time.

Dong Nuan thought that she was not a crying person, and before marrying Si Jixia, she had even forgotten the taste of tears and the feeling of tears.

But she didn't know what was wrong with her, she didn't know when she began to like to cry, and the bitter taste of tears flowed into her mouth, making her feel that her whole heart was bitter.

Dong Nuan stood by the window in the cottage, the window opened to the yard, and standing by the window, she could see Si Jixia squatting outside the kitchen door washing pots and dishes.

As before, he habitually tied a knot in his empty right sleeve to prevent the cuff from sweeping to the ground when he squatted down to do things.

In addition to losing a lot of weight, he is still the same as before, his eyes are still dark to deep, his lips are still thin, and there are still two cute little pear vortices on the corners of his mouth when he laughs.

He is still the same as before, he will be habitually nervous, and he will not dare to look at her more when he is nervous.

He's obviously the same as before, he's obviously not changed anything.

But he was no longer her peace.

He's not her peace anymore, he's not ......

She couldn't kiss him, she couldn't hold him, she couldn't caress his cheek, she couldn't take his hand and caress her belly, she couldn't even tell him what was in her heart......

The tears flowed into his mouth again, bitter to the extreme.

Dong Nuan didn't raise her hand to wipe the tears in her eyes, because no matter how she wiped them, she couldn't stop her tears.

The sunlight outside the window was good, but it didn't shine through the window, and there was only the chill of late autumn in the room.

Dong Nuangu stood outside the window and looked at Si Jixia in the courtyard for a moment, while raising his hand to caress her lower abdomen, his voice was so low that he almost choked up: "Good children, your father doesn't remember you and your mother, what should my mother do, what should I do......

Si Jixia, who was squatting outside the kitchen door to wash dishes, always felt that someone was looking at him from the house, but when he turned his head to look at the open door of the hall and the windows of the rooms on both sides, there was no one in sight, he felt that it should be his illusion, there was only one person in the room, and that person would not look at him so secretly.

He's just a cripple with nothing, nothing to look at.

At this time, Dong Nuan had already hid by the window, closed his eyes, and burst into tears.

When Si Jixia washed the pots and dishes and took them into the kitchen to put them, he found that this kitchen was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, familiar was that this was indeed his home, and unfamiliar was that the utensils inside were all brand new.

When did he buy these new appliances and new homes? He really ...... Only slept for half a month?

That's it, what do you want to do with this, he is still alive, and he is still alone, and he has not changed from before, so why should the rest be bothered.

Si Jixia saw the shoes in front of the hall that he kicked away before he could pick them up, so he bent down and picked up the shoes that he kicked away and put them in front of the house, and then took a wooden basin from the corner of the wall, put the cloth shoes, soaphorn and brush into the basin together, picked up the wooden basin and returned to the hall, originally to say something to Dong Nuan, but found that the door of her room was closed, he wanted to knock on the door, but he didn't knock, but took the wooden basin and left, out of the yard.

The direction he was going was in the direction of a mountain stream, and he was going to wash his shoes.

Si Jixia went out for a long time this time, because he had been sitting by the stream for a long, long time.

When he returned, the sun had set, and there was no daylight in the small courtyard in the mountains.

The sky on the mountain darkened quickly, but in a moment, the small fenced courtyard in the deep mountain forest was shrouded in a dark night.

The yard is very quiet, the house is also very quiet, there are no lights, it is as quiet as if there is no one in this yard, but the winter clothes and winter quilts that have not been put away in the yard to dry show that this yard is not actually uninhabited.

Si Jixia put the wooden basin in the courtyard, strode into the hall, and saw that the door of the house on the east side of the hall was still closed, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

The door of the house was closed when he left during the day, and now the door is still closed, which means that the girl in the house has not come out in this time?

It's been a long time, and she hasn't come out?

"Girl." Si Jixia was a little uneasy, because she had never come out, which meant that she hadn't eaten in the past half a day, and with her current situation, how could she stand it if she didn't eat, it was Si Jixia who lit the oil lamp on the rattan cabinet in the corner of the hall, knocked on the door of Dong Nuan's hometown, and called her slightly, "Girl? ”

No one answered in the house, and Si Jixia couldn't help knocking on the door again, saying, "The girl is in the house?" ”

Still no one answered, Si Jixia felt more uneasy in his heart, and wanted to bang on the door to go in, but he felt that it was not appropriate, thinking that the window seemed to be still open, Si Jixia couldn't help but take the oil lamp out of the hall and walked to the window of the house where Dong Nuan lived.

The window really wasn't closed, just slightly hidden, Si Jixia said softly, "I'm sorry", and then gently pushed the slightly hidden window open, and poked the oil lamp in his hand into the house.

The lights were dim and hazy, and the situation in the house was not clear, Si Jixia only vaguely saw a person lying on the side of the bed, thinking that he was sleeping soundly, so he didn't hear him knock on the door.

Si Jixia was relieved, but when he was about to close the window he pushed open, he felt that something was wrong, so he pushed the window open again and poked the oil lamp in his hand again.

There was indeed a man lying on his side on the bed, but there were no shoes on the floor in front of the bed, and the shoes were still worn on the feet of the warm winter.

Si Jixia felt that something was wrong, if she really wanted to sleep, why didn't she take off her shoes?

"Girl?" Si Jixia stood in front of the window and couldn't help but call out for winter warmth again.

This time, his voice was raised a lot, but the person on the bed didn't say anything in response to him, he didn't move, and Si Jixia didn't care about anything else for a while, put the oil lamp on the windowsill, turned around and strode into the hall, and then pushed the closed door hard.

The wooden door was already old and could not withstand vigorous pushing, Si Jixia had slept for five months, and his body should not have much strength, but now he didn't know where he came from, and he pushed the old wooden door that was still latched from the inside, and even shook the latch off the door frame.

I saw him hurriedly walk to the edge of the bed, stand there very helplessly, and once again call Dong Nuan and say, "Girl, girl? Can you hear me? ”

Si Jixia still couldn't get any answer from the winter warmth.

He was in a hurry, so anxious that he couldn't take care of etiquette and morality, he stretched out his hand and put on Dong Nuan's shoulder, Si Jixia wanted to shake Dong Nuan's so to wake her up, but when his palm touched the hot temperature, his hand couldn't take it away, but moved his hand to Dong Nuan's forehead, and the temperature of the tentacle was even hotter, so hot that his heart suddenly twisted.

In fact, it was not that the body temperature was hot in winter, but that Si Jixia's hands were too cold and cold, and he was a little restless now, so that he felt that the temperature of his palms was very hot.

"Why is it so hot...... Girl? Si Jixia muttered, and then Huo Di stood up and took the oil lamp that had just been placed on the windowsill and put it on a wooden bench placed at the head of the bed, and then in the dim yellow light of the fire, he looked at Qingdong's warm face.

I saw that her cheeks were extremely crimson, and she was a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be filled with stars in the sky were tightly closed at the moment, her eyebrows were frowning, her forehead was full of fine beads of sweat, her body was slightly curled up, her hands were holding her own belly, her black hair was scattered, a wooden hairpin carved in the style of tea plum fell on the pillow, and most of her face was buried in the pillow.

Si Jixia stretched out his hand again to probe the forehead of the winter warmth, it was indeed very hot, infected with the wind cold?

Isn't it okay during the day? Why did you suddenly get caught a cold and fell unconscious?

Si Jixia didn't have time to think about it, on this mountain, and when it was still about to fall at night, it was impossible to take her down the mountain to find a doctor, even in the daytime, it was impossible.

Because she was asleep with a fever, he could not carry her down the mountain, because she had a big belly, and he could not pick him up, because he only had one hand.

No, no, he seems to know some medical science, and he shouldn't be helpless.

It was Si Jixia who sat down on the edge of the bed, first called for Dong Nuan's death, and after a while, he went out of the house, brought a basin of cold water, hesitated for a moment in front of Dong Nuan's old bed, and then reached out to pluck away the long hair that fell on her face and neck, and wiped the fine sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose with a handkerchief wet with cold water.

And when Si Jixia pinned the long hair that was scattered on her face, he found that there seemed to be a large water stain on the pillow, and he reached out to touch it, and it was moist and cool.

Si Jixia was a little puzzled, where did the water come from?

But when the cotton towel in his hand wiped the temporal cheeks of the winter warmth, he found that the long eyelashes of the winter warmth were wet, there were tears in the corners of the eyes, and the face was full of tear stains.

Si Jixia was stunned, looking at Dong Nuan in a daze.

She...... Crying?

Si Jixia suddenly thought of the appearance when she came out of the kitchen in the warm winter during the day, and thought of her red eyes at that time, it turned out that she had really cried in the kitchen, and she should have cried for a long time, otherwise her eyes would not be so red.

She...... Why are you crying? Why do you cry so much?
