In the cemetery next to Lijia Village, not far from the inn, Yu'er knelt on a grave and cried loudly. When the baby heard the cry, he also cried, Lan Yi patted him, did not stop Yu'er, and let him cry happily.

The white flags on the poor grave are still swaying in the wind, the soil on the grave has not yet grown new grass, and his child is about to be sold by his brother for silver.

Lan Yi looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and her heart was uneasy.

Originally, she thought that Yu'er would only have one closest relative, Li Erlame, to suffer so much mistreatment and be sold, but the news from the sixth son was not the case.

Yu'er's mother Wang really went after giving birth to him as Li Er's cripple said, Yu'er's father Li Fugui entrusted the child to his mother, that is, Yu'er's grandmother, and he himself went to the city to work to earn a living. Although Yu'er's grandparents didn't like his life, they also took care of him for a bite to eat, but Li Fugui's situation changed after he became seriously ill last winter.

After Li Fugui was seriously ill, he spent all the savings he had earned in the past few years, and the Fang Shi from the village said that Yu'er's life was hard, and Yu'er's situation became more difficult. After Li Fugui's death, his grandparents blamed Yu'er for everything, and the whole family beat and scolded him, which led to the scene where Li Er's lame son sold him to pay off his gambling debts.

"Ridiculous, hateful! Because of Fang Shi's words, he will kill his own grandson and nephew, and these people's brains make the donkey kick! Lan Yi gritted her teeth and scolded.

Liuzi sneered, "Madam, the fields and real estate left by Li Fugui are all used to pay off debts, Yu'er is a burden in their eyes, and the words of the Taoist priest are just an excuse." ”

Lan Yi patted the sobbing baby in her arms, these two poor children who had no father and mother would come to her side by fate, and she would definitely protect them and let them grow up safely.

When Yu'er's crying gradually stopped, Lan Yi squatted beside him and said to the tombstone, "Brother Li, sister-in-law Li, I am Lan Yi, Yu'er I took away, and he will be my Lan Yi's son in the future." I hereby assure you that you will treat Yu'er as if it were your own. ”

Lan Yi's words, Liuzi and Chuncao all heard it, and complicated feelings flashed on their faces. They are in awe of ghosts and gods, and they know that oaths are not something that can be said casually, and Lan Yi said this so solemnly, which shows her sincerity. "Treat it as your own", instead of just letting him eat and cover his body, Chuncao felt that his nose was sour and his eyes were red.

Yu'er heard Lan Yi's words, and her tears fell even more, since her father went, the family only beat and scolded him, and the children in the village also bullied him, Yu'er knew that she was a mourning star, and no one liked her, but now this good-looking and good-smelling lady said that she was her son, and she would have a mother in the future?

Lan Yi didn't know about their psychological changes, so she asked Yu'er to kowtow to her parents three times, so she pulled him into the carriage and went to Lizheng's house in Lijia Village. The sixth son had already said hello, and Li Zheng helped Yu'er sign the household registration and transfer it to Lan Yi's name for support.

This Li Li, who has a white beard, is very kind to Yu'er, and Yu'er also shouted when he saw him, and took the initiative to call grandpa.

Li Li leaned down and said to Yu'er, "Yu'er has something to go home and take away, grandpa will accompany you." ”

Yu'er looked at Lan Yi and found that she was only smiling at herself, so she nodded, took Li Lizheng's hand and walked out, and Lan Yi and the others followed. Li Li was holding Yu'er's hand and walking in the village with his head up, and when he saw the people in the village coming to say hello, he just waved his hand, looking like he had done something great. Lan Yi thought that Li Li Zhengding knew about Yu'er's situation, but he didn't interfere, and let Yu'er be bullied, was it not good to interfere, it was inconvenient to interfere, or did he not want to interfere?

Walking in front of a half-new blue brick house with a courtyard wall, Yu'er didn't dare to knock on the door, and Li Lizheng stepped forward to knock hard. After a while, a woman with a sour face opened the door, and when she saw Li Lizheng and a few others, she hurriedly laughed, but she ignored Yu'er. Her eyes turned around Lan Yi twice, and when she found that Lan Yi saw her, she quickly dodged away, thinking that it was the second lame man who came back and told Lan Yi the identities of the others, and she was also afraid.

Li Lizheng said, "Tian Fu's family, what about your family?" ”

The second lame man is named Li Tianfu, and this bitter woman is his fierce mother-in-law.

"Yo, Uncle Li Zheng, look at what you asked, of course they went to work in the field, this big family still raises a person who eats white food, and doesn't work to eat the wind!" After speaking, the woman took a hard look at Yu'er, and Yu'er quickly leaned back when she saw it.

Li Lizheng heard that the men in the family were not there, so he stopped talking nonsense, pulled Yu'er's door, and asked him to pick up his things.

Yu'er entered the small firewood room on the south side, and after a while, she took out a small dress from the inside, and wrapped something in it. When the woman saw this, she immediately raised her eyebrows, "It turns out that you are a little mourner who stole my things, and you still don't take them!" ”

Yu'er's little body trembled, and she ran to hide behind Lan Yi. Lan Yi patted his little shoulder and didn't speak.

Li Lizheng glared at the woman, turned back to Yu'er and said, "Yu'er's things can be shown to the master." ”

Yu'er nodded, opened her small clothes, and there were several small puppets and a slingshot inside, and the woman's eyes showed disappointment. Li Lizheng didn't say much, and walked out of the courtyard with Yu'er.

Lan Yi held the baby, Chuncao took Yu'er to Beigou Village in a carriage, the baby was still young, and he fell asleep again while dangling in the car, Yu'er hugged his little burden and bit his lip and sat in the carriage, Chuncao teased him to talk, he just nodded or shook his head, and rarely spoke. It's just that he raised his head from time to time and glanced at Lan Yi quickly, and his deer-like clear eyes carried a trace of uneasiness and dependence.

Lan Yi took his water bag and let him take a few sips, moistening his hoarse throat.

"Yu'er, let's go home. Our family is in Beigou Village, Yu'er will be the baby's brother in the future, Yu'er and the baby are both good children, don't be afraid. ”

When Yu'er heard the word "mother", her eyes were full of water, the corners of her small mouth trembled twice, she didn't cry, and nodded her head vigorously. Lan Yi stopped talking to him, Yu'er was sensitive, and it would take some time to accept such changes.

Beigou Village is not far away, and it will take less than an hour to arrive. It's just that the morning was delayed by Yu'er's matter, and it was ten o'clock at noon.

Beigou Village is located in a half-basin, a stream four or five meters wide is passing through the edge of the village, and the words "green mountains and green waters" flashed in Lan Yi's mind. Surrounded by green wheat fields and golden cauliflowers, the green hills on three sides are undulating, and among the flowers is a blue-gray jagged village. The sixth son rode a horse to lead the way, and the carriage slowly entered Beigou Village, attracting the attention of the villagers, and Lan Yi also opened the curtain of the car and looked at the mountain village where he wanted to live.

Courtyard walls made of stones of different sizes, low bamboo fences, roofs covered with thatch or thin stone flakes, dogs barking one after another, and villagers looking curiously by the car, Lan Yi felt at peace, as if she had really arrived home.

The carriage stopped at the door of a family's house, and the six sons dismounted and knocked on the mottled wooden door.

A young woman wearing a silver hairpin opened the door and opened a crack in the door, and Liuzi asked, "Zhao Li is there?" ”

The woman nodded, opened the door, walked briskly to the hall, and shouted, "Father-in-law, a guest has arrived." ”

A man in his fifties dressed in khaki cotton clothes walked out. He was of medium height, with a square face, a mustache, and a pair of piercing eyes under two thick eyebrows, and walked quickly to the door.

Liuzi stepped forward and said, "Zhao Lizheng, we are here to find relatives." Is there a talent named Wang Linshan in Beigou Village, who entered Beijing to take the exam the year before last? ”

Zhao Lizheng nodded and replied calmly: "Wang Linshan is from our village, and he went to Beijing to take the exam the year before last, and he has not returned yet. ”

"That's it. In the car were Wang Xiucai's wife and children, who are now going back to the countryside to live. Mrs. Wang is the wife and sister of Lord Chengmi in Meixian County, this is my handwritten letter from the adults of my family, and I forget you to take care of one or two. ”

Lan Yi was stunned for a moment, she didn't know that Xia Wan had prepared her husband's handwritten book for her, although she didn't know the specific content of this handwritten book, but this intention was already very rare. I can keep this love in my heart, and it is her blessing to make such a good sister, and God treats her well.

Lan Yi asked Chuncao to open the door curtain, got out of the carriage with the baby in her arms, and saluted Zhao Lizheng, "The little woman Wang Lan has seen Zhao Lizheng. ”

That Zhao Li Zheng didn't even dare to say that the little woman in front of him was Mi Xiancheng's wife and sister, and he naturally didn't dare to slack off. Zhao Li was looking at her clothes and small white flowers on her sideburns and Lin Shan did not come back with her, so he chuckled in his heart, knowing that Lin Shan was afraid that something had happened.
