"Fifth uncle, why are you telling me this?" My gauze was wet again, but the tears didn't feel felt for me anymore.

"They know the general thing, but I want you to know what they don't. Yan Cuo is not as bad as you think, what they give you is just a factual answer, but I want you to see the real each other clearly, don't be blinded by a moment of hatred, Yanzi, all resentment accumulates for a reason and a process, before he is completely devoured by the demons in his heart, only you can save him-" Meng Wu gently played with the concentric Yinyu in my hand, gurgling, it couldn't find another sound of Ying He.

"Save him? I don't know anything, how can I save him? "I think it's ridiculous, I almost want to say that he has always wanted me to die, but I have to take the responsibility of saving him, why? But I can't say that, how disappointed I would be if I said such selfish things.

"Because there is no place in this world that can tolerate Yan Wrong, only if you tolerate him, can he regain his value. I guess that's why your dad asked him to come to you with a suicide note, he knows that the process of melting blood into water will be hard, but you will not disappoint his expectations. ”

I felt that Meng Wu had something in his words: "Why? The world is so big, he can go anywhere, and what value can he find when he comes to me? Can you help me embroider with me? "Do I laugh, or let him find the value of life, and keep thinking about tossing me?

Meng Wu patted my head with a smile and said, "Silly swallow, do you really think that God has eyes to let the fifth uncle come here so early?" ”

I was puzzled: "What do you mean?" "Could it be that there was something that made him come early?

Meng Wu sighed, touched my tear-stained face under my gauze, and said, "Sometimes when I look at you, I will regret for a moment, regretting that I didn't make Meng Yu a simple person like you." But all simplicity has to be created with a lot of complexity, and only you are entitled to enjoy such a life. ”

I'm even more puzzled, isn't Xiaoyu also very simple and happy? Glory and wealth, thousands of favors, how can Meng Wu still think that she is not good enough?

"Who killed the golden lady? Yan mistakenly took this crime, he should just want to self-destruct, not to help the real culprit, right? ”

Meng Wu stood up and said, "This, I don't know." ”

He stood abruptly, and I felt like he was running away from the question—

"If what the fifth uncle just said is really my father's true last wish, then how can I save him?" I'm curious.

"I don't know about this, it's always a fate. Maybe you don't understand it now, but in a few years, you will know that blood will always be thicker than water. ”

"Fifth Uncle has been hiding from me for so long, is it because of Yan's mistake that he is willing to reveal your relationship with my father?"

Meng Wuen pondered for a while and said, "I didn't want to hide it, you never asked." ”

We really didn't ask, because no one would think of Meng Wu and my father together.

"Okay, it's late at night, the answer to you is much gentler than what they gave, relax, sleep well, and you'll be tired next." Remember, you are never alone. ”

"Fifth Uncle—"

I stretched out my hand and grabbed it, but I didn't catch anyone, the sounds around me were empty, and there was no more Meng Wu.

When I got up in the morning, I was stunned for a long time and didn't know what I should do, and yesterday I was so distracted that I went to sleep, and my dreams were full of chaotic crying.

There was an old smell of blood on the gauze, and I don't know if it was my own blood or if I cried again in my sleep.

The courtyard was quiet, Xia Xia didn't get up, and there was no sound of Zheng Jewel moving, usually at this time, she should have gotten up-

Maybe I blamed me for not believing her, so I went home silently.

I got up and freshened up, and when I touched the gauze, it was already hard, maybe because the blood was dry, I took off the veil of my eyes, and repeatedly remembered in my heart that I couldn't open my eyes casually, let alone cry.

Walking to the door of Xia Xiafang, I originally wanted to show her goodwill and let her accompany me to the street, but after hesitating for a while, I still didn't knock on the door, these days are really enough for her to be tired, let her rest more.

I slowly figured out the yard and walked to the street that I hadn't been to for a long time, the street was very large, but there were often vendors in the middle, and people came and went, so I picked a small alley to walk.

As soon as I walked down the alley, I easily met someone, because she also liked to walk the alley, and sure enough, I ran into her in the alley.

"Hey, Yan Fei, are your eyes better? Went out early in the morning? "Li Bei'er's voice is crisp and slightly sharp, and she always feels very energetic.

I looked in that direction and heard two kinds of footsteps, and there was a person standing next to her, man, Ah Niu?

I smiled and said, "It's not all good, I'll go out for a walk in the morning when there are few people." ”

Li Bei'er immediately came over and held me: "If it's not all good, you dare to touch it yourself, and you're not afraid of stepping on shit." Then she laughed, as if my eye disease was not a bad thing for her, and even made a prank joke on me.

Brother Niu, who was honest, gently reproached and said, "Bottle, people have eye diseases, and you are still laughing." ”

Li Bei'er smiled: "If you don't laugh, are you still crying?" As soon as I cried, didn't Yan Fei, who loves to cry, cry even more? She turned her head to me, wiped my eyes lightly and said, "Yan Cuo, that kid is really bad, let's not cry for that bad boy, next time when Lord Shangguan starts to try him, I will prepare a few more rotten eggs to throw him!" ”

I said bitterly: "You all know about Yan's mistake?" ”

Li Bei'er said, "I know, no matter what his background is," she paused, skimmed over the awkward topic, and continued, "But after all, you are also her sister, and I don't know which crooked family is not used to your good business, and set fire to your gold thread—has you lost a lot of silver?" Now that Jin Niang is dead again, where do you go to replenish the stock? ”

"Burn my gold thread? Says who? "Why don't I understand what Li Bei'er said.

"What Meng Wu said, early in the morning, he and Zhou Fatzi had a tea party in the toast building, and they talked energetically, and the neighbors were listening, I said why did he come to confess his relatives for no reason, it turned out that he didn't care about it-Meng Wu also said, the silver of those rotten eggs was reported to his account-" Li Bei'er chuckled, "Fortunately, the fire was extinguished early, otherwise, you would really have taken a white-eyed wolf when it burned to the house, and I don't know what crime Lord Shangguan wants to sentence him." ”

I silently thanked Meng Wu in my heart, after all, the matter of Yan Cuo being brought to the yamen could not be hidden, he made a good excuse for this matter, it was harmless, but it was enough to explain everything that happened in front of him.

Brother Niu reminded softly: "Bottle, this is Boss Yan's family matter, outsiders are less talkative." ”

Li Bei'er said: "Why is it an outsider, I have always regarded Yan Fei as my own sister, how can I see her being bullied - Yan Fei, you are just too good-natured, sometimes, you should really be hard-hearted, this Xia Xia is better than you." ”

I smiled wryly and nodded: "Thank you, bottle, with you here, how could I be bullied?" ”

Li Bei'er giggled and said, "Look, who said that Yan Fei is stupid, she is smarter than any of us, and she knows that someone will be better for her, so she doesn't have to be anxious, isn't Yan Fei?" ”

My heart was cold - am I really such a person?

Brother Niu said: "Bottle, don't bully Boss Yan." ”

Li Bei'er said: "Where did I bully her, why do you always think that I am bullying others, am I so fierce?" ”

As soon as I heard Li Bei'er's words with some displeasure, I immediately picked up the topic and said, "Where are you going to fight?" Brother Niu hasn't gotten off the ground early in the morning? ”

Li Bei'er said: "I've been a little uncomfortable lately, and I can't eat anything, this stupid cow said to take me to see a doctor, for fear that the silver won't be able to spend - are you alone in this business?" Why don't you come with me? ”

I pretended to be relaxed and said: "I was going to come to this alley to ask for a leisure, so that the neighbors will worry about me again, you go by yourself, I am afraid to smell medicine." ”

Li Bei'er said: "Then you walk here alone, don't wander into any alleys where no one is, the town is not as peaceful as before-"

Li Bei'er's words seemed to be suddenly cut off, and I heard the sound of my clothes suddenly moving, as if Niu Ge pulled Li Bei'er.

I smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, I'll shout loudly if something happens—if you don't leave, I'll be blind and small, and my ears will be loud again." ”

Li Bei'er laughed crisply and loudly again: "Okay, okay, let's go, you be careful alone." ”

I nodded, didn't "look" at others, and walked slowly by myself holding on to the alley wall.

I fumbled and walked to the side alley of Li Xue's cloth shop, and I heard the tapping of her abacus and the soft sound of her ordering. I have hardly been on the street since my eye disease, and I can touch Li Xue's shop because when I was a child, we used to play a game of blindfolded walking, one person was blindfolded, and the other was carrying it, so I have always been familiar with the road.

Li Xue is shy and shy by nature, she is the same as me, she doesn't know anything about arithmetic and accounting, she used to always secretly take my account book and ask Lian Xiao to help me calculate the accounts, she said that Lian Xiao looked very good with her wrinkled head when she calculated the accounts, and she always looked at it with her chin on the side. She also promised me that she would learn from Lian Xiao in the future, so that she could help me take care of the embroidery business.

But even filial piety died, everything changed, and no one taught her to settle accounts and help her hold up a bright sky. Li Xue still insisted on marrying into the Lian family, becoming Lian Xiao's surviving person, helping Lian Xiao's mother take care of Lian Xiao and Lian's father's afterlife, and then took over the cloth shop to support and take care of Lian's mother who was sick in bed.

Everything, everything has changed.

My eyes were hot, and there were tears or blood coming out of me.
