Shen Yuchen opened his eyes and saw the person next to him, and his heart fell suddenly. He rushed out the door barefoot like crazy, wearing only a white satin tunic and drowning in the mist and snow of the courtyard.

"Tao Yan! Tao Yan! He panicked, his voice was like a knife and axe, and he split all the ways.

He was annoyed that he had suddenly slept so deeply, why he hadn't hugged her tighter, why he couldn't take care of her?

He couldn't imagine what irreparable things would he do with her fierce and unyielding character?

Half of his calf joints were stepped into the snow nest, and the thick layer of snow was like soft cotton wool, and in it were hidden the tiny needles, which were densely turned, and pierced into his ankles. The pain of the scar vertebrae bitten by the poisonous snake was like taking flesh, as if the snake had come back to life, and the fangs were embedded in his flesh and grinded deeply......

He dragged his numb right legs, his steps were of different depths, and his back was soaked in just a few steps.

"Tao Yan, you can't have an accident! I won't let anything happen to you! He muttered, and his mind was full of thunderbolts.

"Why did you get out?"

He heard a clear voice outside the chaos of Hongmeng, beating at his nerves that were about to break.

After a while, she ran over, her little face was frozen white and red, and she gently reprimanded, "Go back quickly!" On such a cold day, you don't want your legs! ”

The white mist was like weaving, and the water vapor condensed in her hair and eyebrows, like piles of crystal beads. She blinked, lifted a few red plums folded in her hand, and her curved eyes were like a pool of water, "Look, is it good-looking?" ”

Shen Yuchen couldn't see her face clearly, but he knew that it was her. The hot breath she exhaled was white, steaming straight to his face, and he was like a bun in a cage drawer.

He gritted his teeth, he didn't know whether he was afraid or overjoyed, his whole face was twitching, he just stared at Ping Yan fiercely, and grabbed her whole body with a gaze like a net.

She was a little scared, and subconsciously took the plum branch to block, but he didn't allow it, pulled away the plum stick, and slammed it to the ground with awe, and locked her shoulders with both hands, and the hand bones were like claw chains, almost pinching her shoulder blades.

She couldn't help but hum bitterly, the delicate voice, thin, with the cold fragrance of plum blossoms, was a real existence. He kissed her on the lips, rough as a torrential rain, pouring down the sky, gnawing and biting, conquering the city, without mercy......

Ping Yan almost wanted to suffocate, and there were already bitten blood stains on her lips, she pushed and resisted, he simply locked her hands, but he was still not satisfied, his tongue and teeth were entangled, and he was greedy for joy.

She gradually stopped resisting, and let him fill it like a bottomless pit. It's not that she doesn't have strength, it's just that she clearly feels that there are tears on her face one after another, like breaking ice and snow. This is Shen Yuchen's tears, this is his endless sadness.

Ping Yan hugged his back tightly and slowly closed his eyes, feeling his gentleness, his irritability, his sadness, and his ...... Affectionate.

I won't seek death, you have saved me so many times regardless of your life, how can I be willing to die.

The tip of the pen is dipped in inkstone a little, and the pen is attentive, and the snow-white shengxuan is outlined with a few strokes, and it is already a few skinny plum branches.

Shen Yuchen sat on the side, looking at Ping Yan, who was writing and painting behind the bookcase, and felt a little stunned.

The wind rose outside the window, and only the rustle of snow falling in the pine forest could be heard, and it was also the rustle between her strokes. His heartbeat also seemed to rustle...... Quiet and serene, leisurely and stable, nothing misfortune happens, and nothing luck appears, some are just the safety of the two sides in the years.

He remembered what Yi Fengjun said. After the peace between the north and the south, he can take her abroad, and it doesn't necessarily have to be abroad, anywhere, as long as she likes it, as long as there is no war...... He shouldn't be a person who asks for the lives of the people, he is a lover from the bones, and he is fascinated by her. Those beliefs in the righteousness of the family and country, he suddenly felt a little tired if he persevered - his lover is on his side, who doesn't want to seek stability in this world and grow old together?

He was in a daze, Xiao Ma came over with a food box and pushed the door, called Miss Young Master one by one, and put the food on the table.

Shen Yuchen personally led Ping Yan over and helped her sit down, like a virtuous man who took good care of her.

Xiao Ma has always been unrestrained in front of him, and said with a smile: "The second young master and the young lady are very affectionate, and they envy others." ”

Shen Yuchen glanced at him with a smile, and was embarrassed, "It's a pity that no girl has taken a fancy to you, or I'll let you go home to get married." ”

Xiao Ma was so choked that he couldn't speak, and he snorted his mouth a few times.

Ping Yan said: "What did Yi Fengjun say? ”

Xiao Ma immediately looked at him, and as soon as he straightened up, it seemed that Ping Yan was the good master he loved and loyal.

"He arranged it, saying that in another hour, he would send a car to pick up the young lady and the second young master."

These two people asked and answered, and they treated him as a lump of air. Shen Yuchen shouted a few times in his heart, dare to love Xiao Ma, this kid is really fast, just hugging the gold owner? Thinking like this, looking at Ping Yan's pointing appearance, he still reacted very honestly, and only dared to hum angrily, and sandwiched a piece of fish with good spines into her bowl.

After eating, the car arrived. The three of them got into the car and traveled all the way north, and they arrived at Granny Wang's house where they stayed that night.

The driver hunched over and led them inside. In a reception room on the second floor, Yi Fengjun and Granny Wang were already waiting.

Ping Yan was a little surprised, what did Yi Fengjun do when he took them here? She couldn't figure out what the bronze box could have to do with this mother-in-law.

Granny Wang looked at Shen Yuji, and stretched her eyebrows, "Miss begs for kindness, this young master is your husband, it's finally a reunion, and it's not in vain for you to come." ”

Ping Yan saluted slightly, thinking of Shen Yuchen beside her, her face turned red first, and when Shen Yuchen heard the word husband in her mouth, it was like drinking honey, and she was happy and didn't know the north and the south. He scratched Ping Yan's palm a few times with starry eyes, as if to say: Hey, if someone wants to call their husband, they can call it openly, why only call it to others, not to me.

Ping Yan gritted her teeth viciously and pinched the back of his hand.

He was timid but didn't dare to make a sound, only gasping for air in pain.

Yi Fengjun saw the small actions they made silently, and took the lead in speaking: "Sit down first, and Granny Wang will explain the ins and outs of the matter later." ”

After a few teas, Ping Yan finally learned a truth that her father had never mentioned.

All this has to start with Xu Beiye's resignation. He was originally a military attaché, the most heroic and upright, but such a character in the Qing Dynasty will be the most difficult to stand on his feet, officialdom frustrated and excluded, he can't do anything, and he doesn't want to watch the people suffer, the invaders' strong ships and cannons are raging in this land, so he resigned and returned to his hometown with his family.

Later, the revolutionary tide rolled in, rolling out the rapid changes of history, and the country no longer had an emperor, it was the Republic of China.

Xu Beiye's mentor was originally a former minister of the Qing Dynasty, who died in the revolution, and believed in two proud protégés in his life, one was him, and the other was Wang Quan, who was a few years older than him. Wang Quan took the bronze box that the teacher swore to protect for nine deaths, and then escaped, and found Xu Beiye's house according to the teacher's deathbed entrustment.

Wang Quan brought the teacher's words one by one. It was a group of British people who were greedy for heavy rainy days, and they were not satisfied with the search for and robbery of rare treasures, and somehow they heard about the secret of the bronze box, and they had to get it in their hands by all means. At that time, the bronze box only had a set of keys, and if you could find a skilled craftsman to study it day by day, it would be a matter of time before you opened it. And the teacher meant that this box must not be allowed to fall into the hands of foreigners.

Wang Quan knew that Xu Beiye was working on locks and smelting iron before he became an official, so he worked with him to reinforce the bronze box with a layer of organs that could not be opened by non-specific things. And the premise of designing the secret lock is that it is necessary to open the bronze box, and once it is opened, none of them can guarantee that they can be pure and have few desires, and they will not have the slightest idea of the treasure map.

In order to fulfill the teacher's last words, they agreed that there would be two layers of secret locks, and each of them would have a key, and if the two keys were not combined, no one could open them. At that time, the bronze box was a hot potato, and Wang Quan wanted to hand it over to Xu Beiye for safekeeping, but he was afraid that Xu Beiye was a veteran of unlocking the mechanism, for fear that he would open the lock without permission one day, so he ordered him to design the most critical two-layer secret lock so that he could never move his thoughts.

Xu Beiye had no other way, so in order to fulfill the teacher's last wish, he opened up his daughter's fingerprint path as the key to the dark layer.

Wang Quan also agreed with Xu Beiye that if the bronze box disappeared, once Xu Beiye had any wrong thoughts about the contents of the box, he would confidentially publicize the key to the bronze box, and then his daughter would be the first to test the waters.

Later, the Xu family died and became ruins under the fire.

The father never mentioned the box, and he didn't know when it fell into the hands of Huo Sanye......

When Granny Wang finished speaking, her old tears were cloudy, "Wang Quan, he is my husband." ”
