Until I entered the house, I was taken by Qian Wu to take a hot shower to get rid of the mud, and I also put on a new set of clothes, people are in spirit, but Liu San'er has always been a little overwhelmed, and I was at a loss to walk in the manor with my sleeves. When he entered my room, he stood in the middle of the room and watched me, nervous as if I would disappear the next moment.

Looking at his slightly darkened eyes, I also said with some distress: "You-you have always found here?" ”

"Hmm."

"You've been looking for me?"

"Hmm." He nodded heavily and smiled at me, "You're fine, it's fine." ”

"You've been looking for me?"

I still repeated this sentence, my throat was choked, Liu San'er looked at my red eyes, people were also a little embarrassed, helpless, as if they wanted to reach over and pull my hand, but as soon as they touched my fingertips, they retracted as if they were burned by fire, and whispered: "I don't know where you will go, so I asked all the way, I thought you would go to Yangzhou City, but halfway through, the people on the road said that they had never seen you, so I turned back again." ”

“……”

"I went in a few more directions, but nothing was right. Later, when I was walking this way, I heard someone say that he seemed to see you going up the mountain, and I was going to follow you—"

When he said this, his dark face could also be seen to be red, and he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

I swallowed the sourness in my heart desperately and said, "Then, you have been out for so long, what should Aunt Liu do?" ”

"I asked Aunt Zhao and Rue Xiang to help me take care of her for a while," Liu San'er said: "She also asked me to come out to find you, she said that you are a girl's family, and you are pregnant, so it is not safe outside." Let me find you, even if I don't take you back, I must inquire about you, and know that you are safe, so I will go back to tell her. ”

When he said that last sentence, tears filled my eyes.

Seeing that I was almost about to cry, Liu San'er was also anxious all of a sudden, and said helplessly: "Light, you-don't cry, don't cry!" ”

I bit my lower lip and lowered my head to prevent him from seeing, but I couldn't stop my eyes from getting hotter and hotter, and tears seemed to be about to fall at any moment.

But he was still so anxious that he stammered: "Don't cry, don't cry!" ”

Although she tried her best to endure it, tears still fell like beads with broken threads, Liu San'er seemed to be the first time to see a girl crying, she was already panicked and didn't know what to do, she stretched out her hand to comfort me, but it was not easy to touch me, and finally she stretched out her hand in front of me at a loss.

Click.

My tears fell on the palm of his hand, and a crystal tear bloomed.

"Don't cry......"

His hurried voice slowly calmed down, with a strange hoarseness, as if the rock was sharpened in his heart, a little painful, but with a rough tenderness.

I looked up at his gentle and concerned eyes, and somehow, my face was stained with tears, but I laughed all at once.

Liu San'er was still holding that tear in her palm, looking at my smiling appearance, and smiled.

Just after I finally stopped crying, the servant woman at home brought a table of food, and I said apologetically: "I have made you work hard, and I will tell Huang Ye about this later." ”

I'm still a guest here, I brought Liu San'er in and didn't tell the master, I was already a little inconsiderate, and asked the servant to bring food, but now Huang Tianba and Mu Hua are still in the house and haven't come out, and the two of them have just reconciled, so it is really not appropriate to go in and disturb them at this time.

The servant woman smiled: "Girl, don't say kind words. Lord, we still did it. ”

"Thank you."

"Thank you." Liu San'er also thanked us, and the servant woman glanced at us, as if relieved, and turned around and retreated.

The food on this table is not rich, but there are fish and meat, just looking at it makes people appetizing, and I also know that Liu San'er must not have eaten enough these days, so I pulled his sleeve and sat down: "Come, eat first." ”

"Hmm."

He smiled a little awkwardly, sat down and took a bowl and took a big gulp.

Looking at his appearance, it would be a lie to say that he was not distressed, especially when he remembered that when he just opened the door, he came to beg for water to drink, and I didn't know how much suffering he had suffered along the way, so I took some chopsticks and put some shredded meat into his bowl, and said softly: "Eat more." ”

He looked at me with a smile, picked up the meat I gave him and stuffed it into his mouth, eating with a satisfied look, I looked at him with a smile, and served him another bowl of soup, and was handing it to him, when I saw that he suddenly seemed to remember something, looked down at the food on the table, and said to me: "Light, can I keep two steamed buns." ”

"Huh? You can just eat, and it's still on the table. ”

"Oh no, it's not." He said: "Actually, I originally brought dry food with me, but when I passed by a ruined temple in front of me, I saw that there was a crazy woman who was dying of hunger, so I gave her all the dry food, and I didn't have anything to eat." I saw that the woman couldn't find anything to eat, and wanted to bring her two more steamed buns, but she was pitiful. ”

Listening to his words, a warm current surged in my heart again.

He is still the same as when he was a shopkeeper in Yangzhou City, so enthusiastic and loves to help people, even if it is just a passerby, he also cares about the other party and spares no effort to help.

The person in front of me is obviously the poorest person I know, but he is so rich!

And in my heart, I have a faint feeling -

Such a person can do great things!

Looking at his inquiring gaze, I smiled faintly, handed the soup bowl in my hand to him, and said, "You just have to eat, I will ask them to prepare the steamed buns, and I will go with you later." ”

"Well, good!"

He nodded vigorously happily, and took two more mouthfuls of food into his mouth, but his movements suddenly slowed down, looked up at me, and some cautious eyes made my heart move: "What's wrong?" ”

"Light, then you- will you go back with me?"

I was stunned for a moment, and the chopsticks that I was about to serve him froze.

Get back?

Looking up at him, he was also looking at me, although a little cautious, but his eyes were so serious and solemn, he was silent for a moment, and said with a little shyness: "I-I hope you can go back with me." ”

“……”

"Light, I'll take good care of you."

“……”

I wanted to open my mouth to say something, but my throat choked up all of a sudden, and I barely said after a while: "But, I-"

"I will also take good care of this child," Liu San'er didn't wait for me to finish, and hurriedly said: "I will treat him well, just like my own." It's true! ”

"I'm not afraid you'll treat the child badly, but—"

The words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.

What can I say? I had long since lost the qualifications to marry and be happy, from the time that man first abused me. And all these years of going around and around, loving, hurting, crying, tired, full of emotion, how can I, who has been ruined, impose my broken life on the life of such a simple man?

Especially, after I knew what he was thinking.

Liu San'er saw that I was halfway through what I said, waited for a long time and didn't hear the second half of the sentence, hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Light, I, I don't have much money, even the current life, I can't give it to you." But—I'll try. Don't worry about our life being difficult, you probably don't know that within two days of your departure, the government's approval came down, and our taxes were reduced by 30%. ”

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.

Taxes have been cut by 30 percent?

Although it was not as good as previously expected, this decision was a drastic change for the entire Celestial Empire, and it was no wonder that the war in the north would be so tense now.

He's already made this decision!

This world will change because of him, but what about the people in this world? And how many have changed because of him?

I raised my head in a trance, and Liu San'er smiled: "My injuries have all healed, and I plan to go to Niangniang Mountain to get a few acres of land and farm well." That way, you don't have to go out for a long time, and you can take good care of you - and the baby in your belly. ”

“……”

"Of course, if you like fish, I can still go down to the river!"

“……”

His eyes lit up, and he looked at me with a hopeful expression on his face, "Our days will be fine!" ”

At this moment, I looked at him stupidly, but my eyes seemed to be full of brilliance, and the shadows of many people flashed in an instant-Pei Yuanxiu, Nangong Lizhu, Emperor Taishang, Empress Dowager, Yang Yunhui, Yang Jinqiao...... There are also Huang Tianba and Xue Muhua.

And the man's face, faintly in front of him, happy or angry, smiling, all in front of him.

It turns out that half of my life has been through these ......

Many people will think that an ordinary couple, sunrise and day by day, may have no fun, and work hard every day to make a living, but what if the love is vigorous? Shouting, crying, struggling, these are the right?

I looked at the haggard face in front of me and said softly, "Do you really, don't you dislike me?" ”

When he heard this, he hurriedly wanted to say something, but I interrupted him and said, "You have to think clearly, this child is not yours, but I will give birth to him and raise him well." You really wouldn't mind? And I'm ...... With this child, you should also know that my past ...... I am not worthy of you. ”

This time, Liu San'er didn't answer, but slowly lowered his head.

There was silence in the room.

In this silence, time passed bit by bit, and it was obviously silent, but something seemed to sting my heart little by little, looking at his lowered face and the thick black eyelashes covering his eyes, I couldn't see anything clearly.

He...... Are you going to regret it?

I retracted my hands on my knees, trying to find a support, but I felt like I couldn't grasp anything, and even my whole body was shaking.

At this time, he slowly raised his head.

Those dark eyes looked at me solemnly, and his gaze was as firm as a rock when he reached for the five copper coins in the knife box: "Light, when I first saw you, you weren't good, but I-I still like you." ”

“……”

"It doesn't matter if you have children, if your past isn't good."

“……”

"I'm with you, and we'll be fine in the future."

This time, he firmly reached out and took my hand, and the warm and rough palm ironed up, bringing an indescribable warmth that hit my heart straight away.

Looking at his serious eyes, my eyes became hot again, and I could only lower my head in order to hide my wolf bèi.

He looked at me quietly, waited for a long time, and said hesitantly, "You...... Did you promise me? ”

I finally calmed down a little, looked up at his expectant eyes, but suddenly gave birth to a hint of cunning, smiled, and said, "I, I don't want to promise you yet." ”

"Huh?"

"Wait until I go back and ask Aunt Liu, and when she opens her mouth, I will promise you."

"Huh?" Liu San'er looked at me and said stunned: "My mother, she will definitely agree." She loves you! ”

Looking at the sly smile on my face, I suddenly seemed to understand something, laughed, happily picked up the bowl and ate a big mouthful of rice, thought about it and asked me, "What do you want to ask my mother?" ”

I just smiled and didn't speak, picking up a large piece of meat and stuffing it into his mouth.

Soon, Huang Tianba and Mu Hua also knew that Liu San'er was coming.

Although Huang Tianba was surprised by his arrival, he was not too surprised, and when Liu San'er saw him, he was still the same as back then, excited and reverent, it seems that the one in front of him is still the seventy-two water and land chief scoops of the three southern provinces that responded to Yangzhou City, and the uncrowned king in the hearts of Jiangnan people.

What surprised me was Mu Hua.

She was very happy to see Liu San'er and me, and after greeting her warmly, she heard that Liu San'er wanted to order food to help others, so she personally instructed her subordinates, and after a while, the servant woman brought a food box, which not only contained a stack of steaming steamed buns, but also a bowl of ham stewed chicken underneath, which was fragrant.

"Take it all, do you want someone to drive it over?"

Liu San'er didn't expect to be able to get such good food, so he thanked him gratefully, and said, "No, no, it's in the broken temple not far ahead." ”

I also smiled and said, "I'll go with him and I'll be back in a while." ”

After speaking, I subconsciously glanced at Huang Tianba, although his face was still a little tired, but it was already a lot calmer, and when he glanced at me, he just nodded lightly.

Liu San'er carried the box and went out with me.

In the past few days at Huang's house, I haven't gone out, and I have gone out for a walk after dinner, but it's also a good thing, the mountain air is very good, and I can hear the birdsong in the forest, and the orange light of the sunset shines through the leaves sieve, and the dappled light and shadow make people feel like they are in a dream.

Liu San'er took my sleeve and said, "Be careful, don't fall." ”

I looked at him and couldn't help but laugh: "I'm not a child. ”

"But you have a baby in your belly."

"......" I gave him a blank look, he only smiled, but grabbed my hand and didn't let go, looking up and looking forward: "It's here." ”

In front of it was a dilapidated temple that was almost unformed, surrounded by weeds, and the Buddha statue inside was covered with a thick layer of ash and cobwebs.

In the corner below the Buddha statue, it was pitch black, and a man was huddled up, shivering.

As soon as Liu San'er saw her, he hurriedly walked over and squatted down, and said carefully: "Hey, auntie, I brought you something to eat." ”

The man had fallen to the ground with his head covered, but when he heard his voice, he slowly squirmed, and when he raised his head, a pair of eyes that shrunk as if frightened were revealed under his long unkempt hair, looking at us tremblingly. As soon as he saw that it was Liu San'er, he immediately stretched out a hand that was as dry as a branch, grabbed his arm, and said hoarsely: "Son, son, you are here!" ”

Hearing this voice, my heart moved slightly.

This voice-
