"Is anyone home?" She asked, raising her voice.

Soon, the door creaked open.

The door was opened by a young woman, she poked her head out of the door, and looked Ye Jinyan up and down with a pair of eyes as bright as autumn water, "Girl, who are you looking for?" ”

Ye Jinyan replied politely: "Sister, I want to ask Ye Jinyu if she is here." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the young woman snort and laugh: "I'm not a sister, I'm Qibao's mother, you should be Xiao Yu'er's sister." ”

Ye Jinyan nodded.

Ye Jinyan couldn't believe that she was actually the mother of a nine-year-old child, and she looked like she was only in her twenties, which was too young.

Qibao Niang immediately opened the door and said, "Xiao Yu'er is inside, come in." ”

She took a step to the side and let Ye Jinyan in.

Qibao's house is larger than Zhao Zhengyang's house, divided into the west house and the east house, and as soon as you enter, there is a small corridor leading to the hall.

In such a comparison, Ye Jinyan suddenly felt a little sad, the wood of her house was rotten, and the tiles were rotten because of the perennial wind and rain, and every time it rained, there were always some small droplets leaking down the tiles. And Qibao's house is spacious and bright, so clean that she can't reach it.

Qibao's mother's name is, and she married Qibao's father as a child daughter-in-law at the age of ten, and gave birth to Qibao when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, so she looks young now.

She has a gentle personality and gentle conversation, which is completely different from Qibao, and when she talks about it, Ye Jinyan knows that Qibao's personality is very similar to his father.

"Girl, you sit in the hall first, and I'll go to the back room and call the two of them out."

Ye Jinyan sat on the stool and nodded.

"Sister!" Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

Ye Jinyan looked up at the door, only to see a black shadow rushing into her arms at a very fast speed.

Ye Jinyan looked down and saw that Ye Jinyu was dressed cleanly, her hair was neatly combed, and she suddenly saw that her eyebrows and eyes were a little more heroic.

She touched Ye Jinyu's hair and asked, "You slept at Qibao's house yesterday?" ”

Ye Jinyu lay in Ye Jinyan's arms, not speaking or moving, as if crying.

He rarely cries, he is usually very strong, and no matter how much he is wronged, he will not be like now.

"What's going on?" Ye Jinyan asked in surprise.

Qibao then appeared outside the door, it seemed that he should have been playing with Ye Jinyu just now.

He glanced at Ye Jinyu who was in Ye Jinyan's arms, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Ye Jinyu raise his head, stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, and choked up: "Sister, I'm fine, where did you go last night?" ”

Ye Jinyan was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was difficult to say that he had saved a person, so he casually said nonsense: "I originally wanted to repair the house yesterday, but I just happened to catch up with Carpenter Li who was not at home, so I cut some thatch on the mountain, but I didn't expect it to rain heavily, so I stayed in the cave all night." ”

"Sister, it's really good that you're okay!" Ye Jinyu said nervously, as if she was afraid of losing her.

Ye Jinyan stretched out his hand and touched his head, bent down and whispered in his ear, "What happened last night?" Did you come out to me? ”

"I didn't ...... No, I slept at Qibao's house yesterday, and Qibao's mother was very good. He stammered in rejects.

After speaking, he also pulled Ye Jinyan up: "Sister, since you are here, let's go home." ”

But before Ye Jinyan could speak, Qibao proposed with the appearance of being the master of the house: "You don't have anything to eat when you go back now, why don't you eat at my house before leaving." ”

The who walked in from outside the door also echoed after hearing this: "Yes, you don't have anything to eat when you go back now, so it's better to eat more at my house." ”

The corners of the' mouth raised slightly and smiled very warmly, her temperament was the most in line with those ladies in ancient times, Ye Jinyan didn't see her before, it was hard to believe that there were such knowledgeable women in the countryside, but I didn't expect that there really were, but are also girls from rich families in the countryside.

Ye Jinyan lowered her eyebrows and looked at Ye Jinyu's nervous face and agreed. She wanted to know what happened to Ye Jinyu yesterday.

Qibao seemed to want to say something, but it seemed that Ye Jinyu wouldn't let him say it.

"Then bother." Ye Jinyan smiled softly.

walked up to Ye Jinyan with elegant steps, took her hand and said with a smile: "What's the bother, it's been a long time since there have been guests here." ”

Rural people have a simple personality and are very hospitable, so Ye Jinyan is very comfortable living here.

"Thank you, auntie." She looked at the, and there was a faint glow in her eyes.

After saying a word, Ye Jinyan looked down at Ye Jinyu, who had been holding his legs and refused to move, and said with a smile: "Why did you see me like seeing a tree, you are not a sloth!" You and Shippo go play, me and ...... My aunt still has some things to talk about. ”

are almost the same age as herself in her previous life, and this title makes her a little ashamed.

Looking at this young face, she really can't call her "aunt", but in the countryside, as long as she is married, she will be called "aunt" by her children, regardless of age.

Since Shippo can't say it, then should know it. Ye Jinyan raised her eyes to look at the, only to see the nodding gently, as if she knew what she was going to ask.

Ye Jinyu hesitated for a while before letting go of Ye Jinyan's legs and Qibao to go out to play.

There were only the two of them left in the hall, the wind around them was extremely calm, and the sun couldn't shine in, Ye Jinyan walked to the side of the and asked, "Auntie, I want to know what happened yesterday?" ”

smiled slightly and pulled her into the Westinghouse.

There is a hidden wooden door on the left side of the hall, and behind the wooden door is the West House.

After Ye Jinyan entered, he smelled a faint woody fragrance, the West House did not have only one room, but was built around a small pool, and there were three rooms on the left side. However, there are no people in this house, and many rooms are just used to pile up sundries.

She followed the into the first room. Although there is not much furniture in this room, it is simple and clean, a incense burner is placed on the table, and the white smoke inside slowly rises, which is a fresh and elegant woody fragrance.

She finally knew why she could smell this smell when she opened the door, and it turned out to be the smell of the incense burner.

The lifted her long skirt and sat on the wooden stool, she stretched out her slender jade hand to open the teapot and poured two cups of tea and put them in front of Ye Jinyan.

Ye Jinyan sat opposite her, pondered for a moment, and heard the ask, "You want to know everything that happened yesterday?" ”

She nodded, "I feel that Jinyu is afraid of me leaving, is it that I am not there, what kind of bullying has he been subjected to?" ”

sighed and said, "Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Yu'er and Qibao came over to take a look at the black chicken and left. ”

She paused, and said: "Later, in the middle of the night, I was so shocked by the thunder that I couldn't sleep, and vaguely heard someone knocking on our door, and after opening the door, I knew that it was Xiao Yu'er, who cried heartbreakingly in the rain, saying that you are gone." ”

Ye Jinyan stroked the teacup in her hand and said nothing, her expression was very calm, but her heart was overturned.

"Last night he braved the storm and went from house to house in the village looking for you, but the villagers slept so hard that no one opened the door for him, so he came to me. He still wanted to go up the mountain at that time, and if it hadn't been for Qibao to persuade him, it is estimated that he would not have come back by now. ”

The sighed slightly, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
