Yu Baisuo said, "I came back this time, in fact, mainly for Ding Qin. Now that he's recovered, I don't have anything to worry about. I wanted to visit our Yu family's old house and leave. ”

Yu Sheng said, "It's okay." It's just that the Yu family's old mansion is now controlled by Huangfengmen, and if Mr. wants to go, I will send some people to follow him, so as not to encounter any danger. ”

"I'll go. I followed Senior Yu. Ding Qin took the initiative to ask, "The hall master only needs to deal with the mobilization of personnel wholeheartedly." Oh yes. ”

He took out a small cloth bag from the Lingna Stone belt, "This is the Qingxin Orchid I picked after I went to Irland Island. I've taken three doses and it doesn't work. Come to think of it, this amnesia is not directly caused by the disease, and the drug does not have much effect. At present, there is still one and a half trees, I think, one to earn for the Yu seniors, and half for the sect leader. I hope that the sect leader will not have an opinion, after all, Senior Yu is an expert in medicine. ”

Yu Sheng smiled, "Where do I have an opinion." This legend of Qingxin Orchid is a treasure in medicine, and I want to open my eyes today. ”

After he took it, he looked at it and handed it to Zhan Qing. After Zhan Qing saw it, he put it away and said, "The next time I go to see my mother, I'll give this to her, she will be very happy." ”

Yu Baisuo was also surprised after seeing it, and then put it away by himself. Several people dispersed, and Ding Qin and Zhanqing accompanied Yu Baisuo to the Yu family's old house.

Along the way, Yu Baisuo seemed to have both expectation and loss. He told Ding Qin that he hadn't been here for more than ten years, and he had mixed feelings when he returned to his former home.

Although Ding Qin can't remember where his home used to be, he can understand Yu Baisuo's feelings. The three of them said very little later, took the nearest distance, and walked outside the courtyard of the Yu family's old mansion.

From a distance, the Yu family's old mansion is full of broken appearances. The paint in the courtyard has already begun to fall off, and many places look mottled, and even if the paint has not fallen, it has lost its luster, which is no different from floating soil. And on some of the brick and stone walls, there is a lot of grass, some withered and some green, and even on the roof, a small tree is already three or four meters high.

Yu Baisuo's expression on his face was very painful. Obviously, the Yu family, which was prominent for a while, was nominally taken away by Huangfengmen after losing power, and the operation and management were actually not taken care of at all, let alone used. It is possible that this mansion is just a sign that Huangfengmen has won the battle, and after the Yu family disappeared from Baifeng City, it did not even play a basic accommodation function.

Approaching the house, Yu Baisuo stood for a while. He wasn't looking to see if there were any guards from the Yellow Wind Gate, but he was a little afraid to approach. Eventually, though, he sighed and walked up the steps.

Partially decaying doors are closed. Yu Baisuo thought about it, and actually reached out and knocked on the door.

No one inside responded.

He hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open with his hand. With a shrill creak, the door opened, revealing the decay inside.

Ding Qin can imagine how green this place was before. In the middle of the courtyard is a pond with a rockery surrounded by pines and cypresses. However, this so-called evergreen tree species is now dead and alive, and there are only a few lonely green trees. Elsewhere in the courtyard, fallen dead trees can be seen everywhere.

Yu Baisuo took a deep breath, not knowing when it was already old tears. He walked straight to a dead tree on the right side of the pool, touched the trunk with one hand, and said to Ding Qin for a long time, "This tree was planted when I was a child. I didn't expect that twenty years later, it would be so high, and I didn't expect that it was dead. ”

Ding Qin was speechless. But Zhan Qingdao, "After all, plants are inferior to people, and they can't hide from natural and man-made disasters." However, as long as the people are still there, we can plant them again. ”

Yu Baisuo did not respond. He walked slowly down a cobblestone path, constantly looking left and right. After bypassing the first row of houses behind the pool, the three of them entered the backyard, which was the main place to live.

Yu Baisuo was about to take a good look at these places again, when a regular swishing sound came from a corner on the right side of the three people.

Suddenly hearing this sound in the silence, the three of them immediately went into a state of alert. Yu Baisuo was affected by emotions and was relatively slow, but Ding Qin and Zhan Qing had already moved directly to both sides of the corner, making a posture ready to meet at any time.

Yu Baisuo was stunned for a while, not knowing whether it was unintentional or deliberate, and actually asked, "Who is there?"

No one responded. It's just that the sound is still there, and it's getting closer.

Ding Qin jumped out first. He jumped onto a low wall, then to the nearest roof.

As a result, at first glance, he froze.

The sound was nothing else, but an old woman, holding a broom that was almost bald, sweeping the dead leaves that fell in the courtyard one by one.

The old woman was dressed in shabby, her hair was white and disheveled, and she was hunched over, and every step seemed difficult. She swept it unquickly, but every time she swept it, it was so difficult that she seemed to be defending something.

Seeing that Ding Qin didn't react, Zhan Qing also stepped forward and took a careful look around the corner.

After reading it, she was also stunned.

She and Ding Qin had similar thoughts: In such an almost abandoned mansion, there are still old people cleaning up, could it be that this is of course the loyal servant of the Yu family?

If any servant can persist so for more than twenty years, then his faithfulness can be felt without saying.

Yu Baisuo came after two people. He walked straight to the obvious place and asked in a master's tone, "Who are you, and what are you doing?"

The man didn't seem to have a good ear, but he still lowered his head and swept the leaves one by one. Yu Baisuo took a few steps forward and raised his voice, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The broom in the man's hand finally stopped. She raised her head, but her waist did not rise half a minute, and she seemed to be hunched.

Her face was full of wrinkles and her eyes were empty. From the face to the neck, there is no flesh color on the skin, but more like the color of earth.

Seeing Yu Baisuo, she tilted her head in surprise and looked slowly. Suddenly, her body trembled, and the broom fell to the ground.

Her lips began to tremble, and tears welled up in her eyes. After standing in place for a moment, she actually stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Yu Baisuo's shoulders with both hands, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Xing, Xingqi?

Although the voice is not too normal, it is still a little charming. Ding Qin can imagine how soft she would have been when she was young.

Yu Baisuo was stunned for a moment, and then showed an extremely complicated expression. "You, you're ......"

The old woman instantly hugged him into her arms, "I'm Pingyan!

Pingyan!

Hearing this name, Ding Qin also trembled slightly in his heart.

At the beginning, Pingyan who used to make Yu Baisuo fall into the trap by mistake!

Huang Xiahuang didn't know how many of the first wife, and Yu Baisuo was poisoned at the same time, so that the two of them couldn't extinguish their love when they met, and Huang Fengmen found an excuse to kill the Yu family!

She's actually in this yard!

Ding Qin couldn't believe it, not even believe it.

Yu Baisuo may have the same psychology now. His hand was placed behind Ping Yan, and he stretched it out so straight, and he didn't hug her for a long time. Until Ping Yan left Yu Baisuo's chest, his hands still maintained this position.

"You're really back, you're finally back. Ping Yan's voice was even more hoarse, "It's been more than twenty years, and I know that you must still be alive." ”

"Why are you waiting for me here?" Yu Baisuo stared at Ping Yan's face, but his gaze did not make contact with it.

Ping Yan hadn't answered yet, but she heard Ding Qin shouting loudly on the roof, "What person!"

Before the voice fell, he had already rushed out directly to the southeast and chased out.

Zhan Qing immediately went on the defensive. She didn't chase because her position was not convenient for chasing, and of course she also needed to stay here to help protect Yu Baisuo and Ping Yan's safety.

Soon, Ding Qin returned. He whispered to Yu Baisuo, "Someone just peeped here to observe, but he didn't catch up. I think it's probably not safe here, and we should leave right away. ”

Yu Baisuo looked at Ping Yan. Obviously, he had a lot of doubts in his heart, and of course, he was reluctant to give up on this courtyard.

Ding Qin said, "Senior Pingyan, if you have something to say to Senior Yu, you can also leave with us." ”

"I can't escape. Ping Yan smiled bitterly, "After so many years, I haven't escaped, and it is impossible to escape now." I know who it is, the one who is spying on me. Because of the existence of these people, I can't leave here for half a step. ”

"Who? Who is spying on you?" Ding Qin didn't understand too much, and urgently needed to know what was going on.

"It's the Yellow Wind Gate. People from the Huang Emperor's faction. After he drove away your Yu family, he said that I was a disgrace to Huangfengmen, so he put me here to sweep the floor, and secretly sent people to monitor me. Ping Yan sighed when she said this, "Actually, I also know that I was just a pawn of him at that time. It's just that, as a woman, you can only accept your fate. ”

"Why should a woman accept her fate?" Zhan Qing obviously disagreed with this sentence very much, "Women should also be self-reliant!"

Ping Yan smiled bitterly, "I don't know you girl, so I don't know anything about it." But, when I was your age, I had similar thoughts. But later, the world smoothed my edges and corners, and all I could do was resign myself to my fate. I have always felt guilty about harming the Yu family, but what can I do? I can't leave it, and I can't leave. Even if I leave, I can't find Xingqi, and even if I do, I can't change the fait accompli. Could it be that the Yu family can come back? Can they rebuild the glory of the past? The chances are slim. Even if the Yu family really rises again in Baifeng City, I,"

She paused for a moment at this point, "I'm just the prodigal in the eyes of the world." This hat will always be on my head. Moreover, here in Xingqi, I am still nameless and shareless, and I am not even a second room. ”

Ding Qin heard that there was a lot of regret in her words, and even a vague grievance. This kind of tone often only appears in women who are moved by true feelings. A little doubt appeared in his heart, "Senior, how do I feel, you also have true feelings for Senior Yu?"
