"Didn't the second brother say that there was something, why haven't you left yet?"

The list didn't look back, looking up at the few leaves scattered on the fallen branches.

"Don't you have something to ask me?"

After speaking, he turned his head sideways to look at him, "The second brother knows that you are not in good health, and I can't bear you chasing too far, so I am waiting for you here." ”

"Where are you hiding the kids?" Shan Jingyan asked straight to the point.

Shan Zi's posture of tilting his head slightly remained unchanged, but he suddenly laughed, and the laughter was very soft and broken.

"Jing Yan, I haven't always understood, who is the brother born to your mother?"

Shan Jingyan frowned slightly, as if he was a little sad, "Second brother, I was born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other?" ”

Shan Ziyin's face sank suddenly, and he looked at him sharply, "You shouldn't say this to me, you should go and say to your third brother, is he forcing me, or am I forcing him?" ”

Shan Jingyan found that the second brother in front of him was unfamiliar.

"The third brother has never wanted to compete with you for the world."

Shan Zi smiled faintly, "You really know him very well, it seems that he is your own brother, right?" ”

Shan Jingyan frowned lightly, "Second brother, Yun'er, she is just a child, she is not wrong." ”

Shan Ziyin looked at him, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, and then a strange smile appeared.

"Do you feel sorry for the child or do you feel sorry for the child?"

This sentence blocked Shan Jingyan speechless.

He felt sorry for the child, and naturally he felt even more sorry for Yun Qixi, seeing that she was getting haggard and haggard in order to find the child, his heart hurt.

"Jing Yan, I know what you think about Qixi Festival, the second brother promised you, if I win this world in the future, I will let you get her, how about it?"

In Shan Jingyan's complicated eyes, Shan Ziyin laughed a few times and strode away.

Zhang Qinxue walked behind Shan Jingyan and said guiltily, "It's all my fault, I should have stayed by the child's side day and night, otherwise, how could I make Qixi so painful now?" ”

Shan Jingyan turned his head, stretched out his hand and gently put it on her shoulder, and said softly after half a sound, "It's none of your business." ”

Hearing that Zhang Qinxue had new news, Yun Qixi rushed to Jinxiufang as soon as possible.

However, before I arrived, I found that there were many people around the gate of the Splendid Fang.

She finally squeezed in and found that the old beggar in the City God Temple was holding Ah Lan and not letting go.

"Lan Qi, I've been looking for you for so many years, and I've never forgotten you, and I don't believe you've forgotten me."

Ah Lan saw that there were more and more onlookers, and she covered her face and tried to shake off his hand, and kept saying, "You recognized the wrong person." ”

The old beggar shook his head stubbornly, "No, the person who shares the bed with me, how can I admit my mistake, Lan Qi, why don't you recognize me?" Why is that? ”

The old beggar's words drew laughter from the crowd of onlookers.

"Asking for food, you want to be crazy about women, right?"

The old beggar was dressed in rags and unkempt, but Ah Lan was neat and clean, and no one would believe that they were a family.

What's more, Ah Lan kept pushing him, and kept saying that he admitted his mistake, and everyone thought that the old beggar was crazy, and he just caught a woman and said it was his own woman.

Yun Qixi has been standing in the crowd, watching this scene.

In the end, Ah Lan broke free from the old beggar and hurriedly ran into the Splendid Workshop. The old beggar wanted to follow up, but was thrown out by two tall men.

"Get away, there are girls in the Splendid Workshop, is this a place where beggars like you who are looking for women all over the street can come and go at will? Don't tarnish the reputation of Fairfairplace. ”

It wasn't until the crowd of onlookers dispersed that the old beggar got up from the ground lonely and slowly left.

Yun Qixi walked over and pulled the old beggar into the alley.

"Are you sure she's the Lan Qi you're looking for?"

There was no trace of brilliance in the old beggar's cloudy eyes, if he said that he still had a glimmer of hope before he found Lan Qi, and now he found it, but Lan Qi did not recognize him, which made him desperate more than not being able to find it. If he can't find it, he can still hope to keep looking for it, but now, there is only despair.

Although he didn't answer, Yun Qixi basically knew the answer when he saw him like this.

"Don't be discouraged, she may not recognize you because of some hardship, after all, sixteen years ago, the emperor was looking for her, if she admitted that she was Lan Qi, would it bring her any trouble? So, she may have her own considerations. ”

Hearing her say this, the old beggar moved his eyes sluggishly, as if he had realized something, reached into his arms, touched the missing person notice, and quickly hid it deeper, a little nervous.

"Yes, you can't let people know that she is here, and the emperor will arrest her."

The old beggar turned and walked out of the alley, his back desolate.

When Yun Qixi walked into the Splendid Fang, Zhang Qinxue hadn't come yet, she raised her eyes and looked around for Ah Lan, and walked towards the kitchen.

Outside the kitchen, she heard faint cries.

The cry was extremely suppressive, as if I was afraid that people would hear it, but I really couldn't bear the sadness in my heart.

And this cry, Yun Qixi is vaguely familiar.

In the past, every time my mother quarreled with my father, and even after my father was drunk and crazy, she would cry silently, but she didn't dare to cry loudly. Later, when she grew older and knew what was going on, sometimes she wanted to comfort her, but her mother would quickly wipe away her tears, smile at her reluctantly, and pretend that she was not crying, but how could her red and swollen eyes deceive people?

Yun Qixi walked into the kitchen and saw Ah Lan squatting in the corner at a glance.

She crouched in a corner, hugged her knees, buried her head in her lap and sobbed.

Yun Qixi walked over and squatted in front of her, in fact, she wanted to hug her, just like she hugged her mother when she wanted to comfort her mother before, but in the end she just put her hand lightly on her shoulder.

Ah Lan raised her head, and the moment she saw her, surprise flashed in her eyes, as if she didn't expect her to suddenly appear here, so she quickly wiped away her tears and stood up in a hurry.

This action is too much like how my mother deliberately concealed her sadness in front of her in the past.

"I'll cook right away, and I'll be fine in a while." Ah Lan walked to the board in a panic and began to chop vegetables, the clanging sound was messy and panicked.

Suddenly, hearing her hissing and taking a breath of cold air, Yun Qixi saw that the cabbage on the board was dyed red, and hurriedly strode over, picked up her hand, and found that there was a big cut on her finger.

"It's okay, it's just a little bruise."

Ah Lan tried to break away from her, but Yun Qixi didn't let go.

"Come out, I'll help you bandage it."

She pulled Ah Lan out of the kitchen, asked Aunt Yun to find the medicine box, sat face to face with Ah Lan, and bandaged her to stop the bleeding.

Aunt Yun cared a few words, and went to teach the girls embroidery. For a moment there were only the two of them in the room.

Ah Lan was very uneasy and looked at her expression from time to time, but Yun Qixi's attention was focused on her wound from beginning to end, and her movements were also very gentle, so she slowly relaxed.

In the process of bandaging, Yun Qixi didn't know what to think, and suddenly chuckled, "In the past, my mother also cut it several times when she was cooking, and I bandaged her like this. ”

Ah Lan only let out a soft "oh".

"My mother, she is a person who likes to hide something in her heart, and she doesn't like to say anything when she is wronged, for fear that I will worry, in fact, she doesn't know, and she doesn't say anything that worries me the most."

"She, she often thinks she is a superman, thinking that she can carry everything, so she carries everything for me, even my father scolds me, she also carries it for me."

From beginning to end, it was Yun Qixi who was talking alone, Ah Lan listened silently, but Yun Qixi could feel that Ah Lan's originally nervous fingers gradually relaxed.

"One time the gas stove in the house was broken, and she used a lighter to light it, but the lighter suddenly exploded, injuring a piece of her hand, and she refused to tell me, and it was a long time before she told me about it, and this is it."

She suddenly lifted the sleeve of Ah Lan's shirt, and there was a visible scar on her wrist.

Yun Qixi stared at the scar, his eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, "What a coincidence, Aunt Lan, you also have a scar here." ”

Ah Lan quickly withdrew her hand and pulled down her sleeve to cover the scar.

"Thank you, miss, it's time for me to get to work."

Yun Qixi grabbed her and smiled faintly, "Aunt Lan, your hand is injured, what else can you do?" I'll do it. ”

With that, she walked towards the kitchen.

"No, no." Ah Lan chased after her, Yun Qixi had already picked up the kitchen knife, and then cut the dish that Ah Lan hadn't finished cutting just now, and continued to say what she hadn't finished just now.

"Later, when she told me about the lighter explosion, I always blamed her, and if she had told me earlier, the scar wouldn't have been so deep."

"But now that I'm a mother myself, I can understand that feeling."

The hand she was holding the kitchen knife suddenly lost the strength to cut it, and her big eyes suddenly formed a mist, and then large tears began to drip down.

"Probably because I used to be too disobedient, always make her angry, and do things she didn't like, so now she doesn't want to recognize me. Actually, I'm quite miserable, my child, I want to hold her by my side and raise her well, but I can't find her, is this God's punishment for digging someone else's ancestral grave? ”

It was as if all the sadness was pouring out in an instant, and her tears kept dripping down, dripping on the cabbage, dripping on the kitchen knife, but her tone was extremely calm.

"But I think she may have a hard time denying me."

At first, she also persuaded the old beggar in this way, and now, she can only persuade herself in this way.

After talking for a long time, it seemed that she was the only one in the kitchen, and no one heard back to her.

She put down the half-cut dish, wiped away her tears, sniffled, and turned and walked out of the kitchen.

She didn't look for Alan, but she believed she had heard everything she had just said.

Zhang Qinxue rushed to the Splendid Workshop and told her what the list said in Fengyang Palace that day.

Yun Qixi frowned, "Then he means that Yun Lanyue and Lily of the Valley have already left the capital." ”
