Chapter 2 Old Man

Jiangfu Bangyue Building, the time has just arrived, the whole yard is alive, one by one the little maids perform their duties, hands and feet neatly clean up the entire courtyard.

Compared with the joyful little maids outside, the few maids outside the boudoir were cautious, and several little heads were together and whispered.

"Sister Qingzhi, Mama Gui is not here, how can you tell the county lord to get up!" The maid with two small balls on her head said, and secretly glanced at the room, frowning and looking sad, with a slightly baby fat face that is still childish, it can always make people happy, even if you have any troubles, you can put it aside.

Sure enough, the next moment there was a "poof" laughter. "Mama Gui is not here, of course you are on top, and our little Bailu is also capable!"

"Sister Yingchun, don't make fun of me, today is a rare rest for the county lord!" The girl named Bai Lu was in a hurry, her cheeks were red with excitement, the two red apples were delicate and bright, and she didn't forget to hug her master.

"Who says it's not, it's hard to rest, and it's bad luck......"

"Be careful!" A pair of eyes swept over, and the two little girls took a step back at the same time, looking timidly at the woman in Tsing Yi in front of them.

"It's because the master treats you too well on weekdays."

"Sister......" Yingchun reflected, and the blood on her face completely faded, and she cried with one mouth. No matter how generous the master is on weekdays, the maid can't arrange the master's no, even if the master is reluctant to live today's day, it's not something that a little maid can say.

"Okay, I'll go and tell the county lord to get up, and I'll go and ask for guilt in a while" Seeing Yingchun's face turned pale with fright, a pair of eyes looked at himself blankly, Qingzhi's tone softened a little, they are all sisters who grew up together, and they can bear to watch each other be punished. But among the four big girls, she is the oldest, and she can't watch her sisters make mistakes, and the master must abide by his duty even more if he is generous and a subordinate.

Ignoring a few annoying little girls behind him, Qingzhi entered the cabinet lightly, looking at the pearl red soft tent in front of him, he couldn't help but take a light breath, and the seven days of getting up were piled together, and the baby couldn't stand it! Thinking that Mama Gui is not there, Mama Qian is no longer there, and then look at a few timid girls behind her, gritted her teeth, and got on.

"The county... Princess! Surprise was written on his face that had just tried to smile. The girl lying flat on the collapse looked calm, looking blankly ahead and didn't know what she was thinking, she turned her head and glanced at it when she heard the voice, and then withdrew her gaze, just one glance, Qingzhi's heart gushed out of endless distress, the girl's calm eyes were about to overflow with sadness, and the rich can pull people's hearts out of the darkness......

"What's wrong with the county lord, Qingzhi, you are talking!" The next moment, Qingzhi was pushed aside, and there were three more small heads of yarn in front of the bed.

"County Lord, you're awake, it's great, the slave maid is waiting for you to change your clothes" This was Bai Lu's joyful voice.

"The county lord's face is a little pale, his hands are too cold, he should eat the No. 3 medicinal diet today" This is Yingchun, and the ration for another day has been decided.

"I'll go." This is an autumn evening that is not good at words, and when I turn around, I go to order the people below, who are like an invisible person all day long, and they are not cute at all.

Feeling the twitter in her ears, Jiang Yanlin also cooperated and let them fiddle, although Xiao Bailu looked unreliable, her eyes were good, and she always dressed up to her heart.

Qingzhi, who was pushed aside, was not annoyed, and watched Yingchun Bailu help the county lord to make up, and silently stepped forward to make the bed. The hand only paused when it touched the damp pillow, and quietly looked at the girl who was quietly grooming.

Jiang Yanlin, who was arbitrarily played, didn't know that there was a little beauty secretly crying at herself early in the morning, and her mind had long been lost.

——

"Let's go over there, you guys, come with me!"

"Hurry up, let's go this way, we can't find the county lord, everyone has to die......"

It wasn't until the messy footsteps faded away that a small figure emerged from the mess of grass, who would have thought that the pampered county lord could nest in the mess of grass.

Jiang Yanlin, who was only three years old, was finally able to run on her own short legs, how could she not come out to see the outside world. It's just that after all, it's not a little girl who doesn't know the world, so let's go and see what the so-called forbidden land is!

There is no end to a winding path, but Jiang Yanlin is walking like a bright road.

"Old man, who are you?"

"Hey, where did the little doll come from, the thin skin and tender meat must be delicious"

That was the first meeting between Jiang Yanlin and the old man.

That year, the three-year-old girl had been shaved all the way to the brocade and satin, hanging on her body in strings, and her face had long been wiped like a little beggar.

The old man on the opposite side couldn't see his age, but his gray beard was on the big flower's face, and what he could vaguely see was that his black clothes were washed white, and he was an old madman who jumped up and down in front of the holes.

The old madman grinned at the little beggar, and the little beggar laughed too. Well, the little beggar became a little madman, just to be the companion of the old madman.

"Old man, why are you staying here!"

"I can't get out!" The old man shook his head with a melancholy expression.

"Didn't they all say there was a way?" Jiang Yanlin said this seriously for the third time.

"No, I'm going to fly out," the old man said firmly.

"Well, let it be, you've rested enough, it's time to go." The little adult shook his head and sighed, and turned around with his little hand behind his back.

"Hey, I'll tell you quietly, there's a path that's much closer, and I'll go out in a while" The old man with a breezy face looked at the white clouds in the sky, but his only hand pointed to a path and didn't let go.

"Well, it's better to eat meat than to be vegetarian." The little face with a big palm pretended to be pensive, but the little black eyes kept turning.

Half a sound, the small figure was almost out of sight, but a leisurely "meat" came out of the valley.

……

For nine years, every day, an acquaintance will usher in the valley, who has grown from a small ball to a fair girl.

The birthday gift of the three-year-old was taken away at the age of twelve, and the joy of stealing nine years was not returned.

There will never be a chicken, a dog jumping, a medicated bath that hurts to the marrow, no more stabbing a damn horse......

Only when she went to see the old man did Jiang Yanlin feel like a girl, a twelve-year-old girl.

The girl who should have been awake at the end of the day tossed and turned over and over again and couldn't sleep. On today's birthday, Jiang Yanlin didn't look forward to how luxurious the boxes of jewelry from the palace were, nor did she expect the gifts prepared by the elders in the family to be enviable, as far as the brothers should be able to find some strange gadgets, but the most anticipated thing is what the old man said, he will believe her a special birthday gift.

You must know that in the nine years since we met, I have always given my birthday to the old man, and I have prepared eight birthday gifts for the old man. The old man said that at the age of twelve, he would get a very special birthday gift, hey, yes, I look forward to it.

Finally, I got up and dressed, thanks to Ru Liang for being very smart, there is no grain to be divided, the four bodies are not diligent, fortunately I didn't reach out by the clothes, and the days when I opened my mouth for food were crippled.

With an inexplicable sense of pride, Jiang Yanlin secretly avoided the defenses all the way and came to the small valley without any danger.

The only exception was that the old man seemed to know that she would arrive early, and was waiting for her in full dress.

"Old man, you look good in white!" Jiang Yanlin, who was in an excellent mood, praised casually.

"yes, someone said that." Strangely, the old man talked about the past for the first time. Xu is old man's expression was too serious, or the reminiscence in the old man's eyes touched a certain string in the little girl's heart, Jiang Yanlin also uncharacteristically did not laugh and play, and obediently followed the old man to measure every inch of the valley.

It's a pity that there are no outsiders in the valley, and no one can see the ghosts of an old man and a young man, who seem to walk down step by step, and the scenery around them is running fast as if it is upside down.

"Come, let's soak in the old man's medicinal bath again" Youyou's voice came from far and near. Before Jiang Yanlin could understand this sudden profundity, a huge force came from her shoulder, grabbed it, mentioned it, and appeared in the bucket in the form of a soup chicken the next moment.

"That's the case again, old man, you're full, I won't bring you braised pork next time......"

The muttering voice was not finished, and the old man opened his mouth to say nothing. The familiar and sour pain rolled in, still the familiar formula, or the taste of love and hate.

The green tendons burst on the white face, and the grinning appearance was nothing at all, and the only one who could appreciate this thrilling beauty was a mess, hey no, there was a neat old man.

Drunk and dreaming of death, floating dreams back, after experiencing the competition between light and darkness again and again, Jiang Yanlin, who was in pain like a dog, finally crawled out with her hands and feet, looked down at the wet robe, and the only trace of internal force with a movement of her fingers was also used to dry the clothes.

The comfortable clothes made Jiang Yanlin feel a little uncomfortable, thinking that she had been thrown out again and again, and she couldn't climb out again and again, and she was not proud to be like this.

But then the appearance of the old man dispelled her only pride. The old man wouldn't hurt her, this was more intuition than real gold, but at this moment, the old man's strange expression still scared her.

Until a trace of internal force appeared unconsciously, warming every inch of her bones, and she could no longer maintain her self-confidence, and her tears were pouring out.

"Old man, old man, what are you doing?" "Old man, stop it!" "Old man, old man, please" Jiang Yanlin, who was in a panic, couldn't find where her voice was, and she didn't know what the old man was saying when she called out one by one.

"Girl, the old man is old and is going to die, the girl will help the old man fulfill his last wish! Don't look back, fly up, don't come again......"

"Old man!"

"Don't look back! Ahem..."The old man's voice was still a little more stern and weak than usual.

The figure froze in place stood on its side, not up or down, not looking back, nor moving half a step.

"Old man, why don't you believe me, I work so hard to practice martial arts

As I said, when I arrived, I would fulfill your wishes

Old man, I'm going to steal the chicken and roast it for you, and the method you taught me is very useful

I've saved enough 100,000 taels, let's go and charter Jufu Building to make trouble with you, and see who dares to turn you away from the door

Old man ,......"

"Girl, good, the old man is old, I can't accompany you anymore, can you listen to it once?" Peaceful words, soaked in weakness, always make people sad.

Jiang Yanlin couldn't go on, recalling that she always complained about the old man's skinning, and the school still had a seven-day break, but she let her report on time every day, rain or shine.

But! His Royal Highness, the lawless county lord of the Jiang family, can he really let an old man who doesn't know his identity dictate?

With a light touch on her toes, the bright moon was in the sky, and the girl finally stepped on the once towering cliff under her feet in the posture of a wild goose.

Behind him, there was the serene smiling face of the old man.
