In the late autumn night, the moon is as cool as water, even if it is a slight wind, it also goes deep into the bone marrow with a seemingly irresistible coolness, the lonely moon, the lonely wind, the yard of no one, the deciduous trees, is this the gloom that belongs to autumn?

Nie Yan was dressed in a short black robe, and walked lightly in the garden of the Nie family's mansion, with his skills, it was impossible for the night watchmen to find his existence, but this general cover was not sad.

If Yiqiē's layout hadn't changed, and the younger brothers and sisters were all living around this huge garden, Nie Yan's irrepressible urge was to go and see them.

During the walk, he had already walked to the courtyard where Mei Han lived, and lightly climbed over the courtyard wall, but found that Mei Han's house was still lit.

He gently approached the room where Mei Han was, at this time Mei Han was still sitting at the table, sewing a blue short robe by the light, her belly was already visibly bulging, presumably pregnant again.

Speaking of which, Mei Han's first child, that cute little girl, is already four years old, and he has not seen him once as an uncle, he has quietly seen that little girl, five or six points like Mei Han when he was a child, Nie Yan was sad at that time, and always remembered Mei Han when he first met at that time, and sighed that so much time had passed in a blink of an eye.

I pity myself that I was obviously in the Nie family's mansion at that time, but I couldn't come out to see each other, but I had to entrust Liu Hesheng to send a small gift.

Unexpectedly, now, Mei Han is pregnant again, and he, the eldest brother, still can't stay by his side.

At this moment, a man who looked gentle and honest walked into the room, holding a thick cloak in his hand, and gently draped it on Mei Han's body: "Lady, are you making clothes for your eldest brother again?" But the eldest brother has been running around all these years, and he doesn't know when he will really return home? You're pregnant, can't you save that for tomorrow? ”

Looking at the gentle man beside him, Mei Han smiled lightly, he is also a child of the Nie family, his down-to-earth character has won his own appreciation, he has been a partner for many years, he treats himself very considerately, presumably the eldest brother is also relieved outside, but a wisp of sadness gradually floated between Mei Han's eyebrows, she gently held the hands of the people around her, and said: "It's okay to do it again tomorrow, but tonight for some reason, I always feel that the eldest brother seems to be in this Nie family's mansion, and even always feels that he is looking at me, thinking about it, I can't help but want to make clothes for him." Over the years, I have always had no time to give him the clothes I have made for him, and I don't know if he is dressed well outside? ”

As he spoke, Mei Han put away the clothes he was sewing in front of him, moved to a large cabinet, and solemnly put the clothes in, while Nie Yan's eyes fell on the big cabinet, where there were no less than twenty sets of clothes, and all kinds of colors were short robes that he liked to wear.

A warmth spread rapidly in Nie Yan's eyes in an instant, he lowered his head slightly, trying to stop the tears, but saw Mei Han's husband striding towards the window, and suddenly pushed the window open, Nie Yan quickly dodged.

But I heard Mei Han's husband say: "Lady, you are probably pregnant, so you can't help but feel sad, you see that there is no one in this courtyard, how can it be that the eldest brother is watching you?" Sleep. ”

How could Nie Yan still hold back the tears in his eyes at this time? Hiding in the corner, he let two lines of tears flow out of his eyes, he rarely shed tears, and even forgot what tears tasted like? It turns out that the feeling of tears is really bad, it is because the heartache is so painful that it can't be suppressed, and the tears will be forced out of the eyes, right?

Quietly leaving the courtyard where Mei Han was, Nie Yan came to the courtyard where Lan Shi was, and like Mei Han, Lan Shi had already married in the early years.

In this courtyard, there was no light on, but the long breathing proved that the people in this room slept very soundly, and Nie Yan went to Lan Shi's child's room first.

In the moonlight, this eight-year-old kid looks like a tiger, almost printed out of a mold with Lan Shi when he was a child, I think back then, when he met Lan Shi, he was also this age, right? It's just that Lan Shi at that time, with a dirty face, was much thinner than this child.

The years cannot be traced, but Nie Yan couldn't help but smile softly when he saw this little face, and reached out to pinch the face of the sleeping child, but at this moment, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

This made Nie Yan feel strange, and he couldn't help but crouch by the window and look quietly, but it was a tall and sturdy figure standing in the courtyard looking around a little dazedly, his eyes full of confused and sad feelings.

After a while, a woman who looked very virtuous walked out of the room and gently grabbed the figure's hand: "Xianggong, you can't sleep well at night, what are you doing in this courtyard?" ”

"I don't know." A confused expression appeared on the man's face, under the moonlight, who was it not Lan Shi? A lot of years have passed, and his once childish and impulsive face has become mature and stable, and even Nie Yan, who is the eldest brother, has no beard, but he has a thick beard on his lips.

The years may have changed everyone's appearance, but Nie Yan knew at this moment that their hearts for him were unchanged.

Hearing Lan Shi's answer, the woman couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "Xianggong, is this sleepwalking?" ”

This was a joke, but Lan Shi's expression became solemn, he looked at his wife a little sadly and said, "I always feel that my eldest brother is back, so I can't help but run out and want to find him." ”

Hearing this, Lan Shi couldn't help but gently hugged her husband: "You must miss your eldest brother too much, he hasn't come back for some years after all." You always tell me about your eldest brother's past these days, and you must have been fascinated in your dreams like this. It's okay, big brother will always come back, let's go back to sleep first. ”

The night became deeper and deeper, and after the Lan Shi couple fell asleep, Nie Yan didn't dare to stay longer, and came to Su Zhan's courtyard with undried tears, just like Mei Han's courtyard, at this time Su Zhan's courtyard was still brightly lit, and Su Zhan was holding a medical book and reading it carefully in front of the case.

It's just that judging from his expression, he doesn't read it very much, but he will put down his medical skills from time to time, and look around a little earlier.

At this moment, a handsome boy with eyebrows like Su Zhan walked into Su Zhan's room, consciously climbed on Su Zhan's lap, and snuggled in Su Zhan's arms: "Dad, what are you cooking?" It's so fragrant, Ping'er can't sleep. ”

This is a little girl, and there is a kind of cuteness in her words, which makes Nie Yan want to hold her in her arms and love her fiercely, but unfortunately, he has missed these opportunities to get together with his nephews and nieces over the years.

Facing the little girl's question, Su Zhan smiled lightly and said, "Dad will boil another pot of medicinal food, Ping'er will sleep first, and when Daddy has boiled this pot of medicinal food, will I go to sleep with you and my mother, okay?" ”

"What kind of medicinal food is so fragrant, Ping'er has to eat it too." As she spoke, Xiao Ping'er's face showed a look of longing, and she kept swallowing her saliva, looking very innocent and cute.

Only then did Nie Yan notice that this Su Zhan had actually put a stove in his study, and wasn't that pot of medicinal food boiling on the stove?

Xiao Ping'er didn't say it, Nie Yan hadn't noticed it yet, and when he said it, he realized that it was really fragrant.

Faced with Xiao Ping'er's request, imagine who could bear to refuse, but didn't want Su Zhan to just shake his head lightly, and coaxed: "Ping'er is good, Ping'er doesn't eat this medicinal diet, this is what my father boiled for my uncle, the medicinal materials in it are precious, and my uncle needs to replenish his body, because my uncle is very tired outside." ”

Ping'er pursed her lips a little aggrieved when she heard this, but finally pinched her little fist and said, "Then Ping'er is good, Ping'er doesn't eat it, leave it to the uncle to eat." But when will Uncle come back? I haven't even met my uncle. Tomorrow? Is it coming back tomorrow? That's great. ”

Maybe it was the cheers of the child that disturbed Su Zhan's wife, she also walked into the room, looked at Su Zhan with a gentle smile, took the child from Su Zhan's arms and said: "Xianggong always talks about boiling medicinal food for the eldest brother, but this will have to wait until the day of the eldest brother's return, why is Xianggong so restless today, why did he start boiling this medicinal diet in the middle of the night?" Didn't you waste those herbs? ”

Hearing the lady's inquiry, Su Zhan's face couldn't help but show a confused look, he looked at the lady a little apologetically and said: "I don't know why, I always feel that the eldest brother has come back, I don't rush to cook this pot of medicinal food for him, I'm afraid that he won't have time to take a sip and leave again." ”

At this moment, Nie Yan almost choked up, but he still turned his head and left ruthlessly, and finally came to the courtyard of Zhufeng.

Zhu Feng is the only one among all the younger brothers and sisters who has not married, perhaps because he is in charge of the entire dark department, collecting intelligence, etc., and is the busiest one in the Nie family's house, so he can't take care of his marriage, and because of this, Zhu Feng has become the one that Nie Yan is most concerned about, and he is already in his twenties, how can he not be married?

With this in mind, Nie Yan came to Zhufeng's room, but was surprised to find that all the rooms were neat and tidy, revealing a sense of coldness, but there was no Zhufeng's figure.

"Where is this kid going in the middle of the night?" Nie Yan was secretly pondering, but heard the sound of Si Si Suo coming from the roof.

Nie Yan was curious, and gently climbed onto the roof, with his kung fu, even if there was really someone on the roof, he would not notice his arrival.

Walking lightly on the roof tiles, Nie Yan didn't make a sound, and finally found the bamboo wind sitting on the roof in a corner of the roof, fiddling with something in his hand by the moonlight.

"This kid has learned to do light work, and instead of sleeping well in the room, he runs to this roof and stays, what is he doing?" Nie Yan thought secretly.

Looking closely, he found that there was a brocade box next to Zhu Feng, and something was carved on his hand.
