Luo Lie raised his wrist and looked at the time: "After dawn, the snow is falling heavily, I think they won't be able to find this place for a while." ”

A cold wind blew, Ye Qinghong couldn't help but sneeze, Luo Lie stretched out his arms, hugged her shoulders and said, "Go in and talk." ”

Back in the wooden house, Luo Lie took off his hat, first looked at his daughter who was sleeping on the bed, and then said to Ye Qinghong: "You go to sleep, I will keep it, there will be no problem." ”

Ye Qinghong walked over, blew out the candlelight, came to the bed and sat down, and whispered: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, isn't it a year according to the old rules?" ”

Luo Lie looked out through the crack in the door and said, "Ming'er is still in a hurry, you can rest, don't be too tired." ”

In the dark, Ye Qinghong came over and took his hand, Luo Lie's body trembled, he didn't refuse, Ye Qinghong took his hand and came to the side of the bed to sit down, snuggling on his shoulder.

Neither of them spoke, and was silent in the dark for a long time, Ye Qinghong took the lead in breaking the silence: "Will you let me leave?"

Luo Lie didn't speak, took Ye Qinghong's hand and put it on her daughter's little hand, Ye Qinghong understood what he meant, she whispered: "Even if you let me go, I won't go." ”

Luo Lie said: "Little Rainbow likes you." ”

"What about you?"

Luo Lie fell silent again.

Ye Qinghong regretted her question just now, sometimes she can't be too demanding, Luo Lie needs time, she will wait, even if it takes a lifetime for this.

Luo Lie said: "I thought about death, but ...... I can't ......."

Ye Qinghong stretched out his hand and touched Luo Lie's face in the dark, but accidentally touched his tears, Ye Qinghong stretched out his arm and put his arm around Luo Lie's much thinner shoulder, letting him bury his head in his arms, looking for a peaceful harbor for his trembling heart.

In the early morning, when Luo Hunt went to the firewood room, Yue Guangqing and the two of them had already left, and a line of words was written on the ground in the firewood room with charcoal, "This favor will be repaid!" The snow was still falling, and the heavy snow covered up the corpses in the forest, and also covered up many traces.

Although he knew that it was impossible for the people from the Wolf Tooth Village to chase after him so quickly, Luo Lie did not dare to take it lightly, he and Ye Qinghong took their luggage, took their daughter, and left the small cabin that once carried their pain and joy.

After three hours of walking in the snow, they arrived at a suitable place for skiing, Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong, both good skiers, propped up their skis and swooped down the slopes.

Ye Qinghong was full of loss when she just left, but when she saw the little rainbow in her arms, and then saw Luo Lie beside her, the little loss in her heart was suddenly swept away, as long as they were together everywhere they were home.

Zhang Changgong will come to Pale Mountain for the New Year every Spring Festival, this is his hometown, but also where his mother's grave is, Tiewa follows every time, but their hometown has long become a scorched earth, because Pale Mountain has been bandits for many years, the villages in the mountains have basically been looted, the people really have no way to live, one by one out of the mountain, the nearest village from Pale Mountain is in Niutouling Majiatun.

There is an inn in Majiatun, but because of the Chinese New Year, few people will come to stay, Zhang Changgong and Tiewa will come over in recent years, and there are no other guests except the two of them.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Changgong and Tiewa were ready to leave, and every time they came here, they would always feel a little sad, and they couldn't help but think of their departed relatives and friends who suddenly disappeared.

The owner of the inn accompanied his mother-in-law back to her mother's house today, and there was only one old man left in the store who was responsible for lighting the fire and watching the store, Zhang Changgong and Tiewa packed up their things, and when they were ready to leave in the morning, it snowed heavily again, and it was obviously unwise to rush away in the wind and snow on such a snowy day. The two dispelled the idea of leaving as soon as possible, Tiewa wanted to go out to hunt a few birds to satisfy her hunger, as soon as she went out, she saw two figures walking towards the Tianfu Inn against the wind and snow.

In such weather, everyone wrapped themselves tightly, Tiewa couldn't see who the other party was, and heard a female voice from a distance: "The front is the Tianfu Inn." ”

This accent is by no means a local, according to Tiewa, this voice has a foreign atmosphere, and he has always had excellent ear power, and he almost immediately judged that he might know someone, and it was likely to be Ye Qinghong.

Ye Qinghong didn't recognize that the man standing outside the iron tower outside the door was Tiewa, she waved her hand to Tiewa and said, "Shopkeeper, is there still a room?"

Tiewa was stunned, he was sure that the person who came was Ye Qinghong, and suddenly Tiewa took off her thick fur hat and shouted: "It's me! It's me! I'm Tiewa!" The thunderous voice woke up Little Rainbow, and her big black eyes widened.

Luo Lie also took off his hat at this time.

When Tiewa saw Luo Lie, he first opened his mouth wide, and then the tears the size of soybeans rolled down, he turned around and ran inside, because he ran too fast, his feet slipped, and he fell hard, crying and shouting: "Master...... Master...... My uncle is back...... It's my uncle......"

Zhang Changgong just picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth, heard the cry of the iron baby, his hand slipped, and the teacup fell to the ground and fell to the ground with a bang, he rushed to the door desperately, but forgot to open the door, the burly body hit the door panel hard, he didn't care about the head that was hurt, and opened the door with both hands. Seeing that Tiewa had just gotten up from the snow, her face was full of tears and she was pointing behind her.

Zhang Changgong ran two steps, then stopped, shaking his head as he went.

The bag in Luo Lie's hand was thrown on the ground, and his eyes were moist. The two old friends looked at each other, Zhang Changgong stretched out his fist, and wanted to punch him in the shoulder, but he changed his mind halfway, gently brushed the snowflakes on Luo Lie's shoulder, and said softly: "It's good to be back!"

"Brother Zhang!" Ye Qinghong said, her heart was full of joy, she knew that Luo Lie had not forgotten these friends, and these friends would not forget him.

Zhang Changgong agreed, and when he saw the little rainbow in Ye Qinghong's arms, he looked at Luo Lie and then at Ye Qinghong, because he had heard about Ye Qinghong's return to China not long ago, and this girl could not be her daughter.

Luo Lie smiled: "Our daughter, Little Rainbow. ”

Ye Qinghong was warmed by Luo Lie's words, her efforts were not in vain, and in the face of Luo Lie's words, she was willing to give her future life completely to their daughter and their home.

Zhang Changgong looked at the little rainbow happily: "What a delicate girl." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "Little rainbow, this is your Uncle Zhang." ”

Little Rainbow said timidly: "Uncle Zhang!"

Luo Lie smiled: "Dad mentioned to you that a person can beat the big tiger with his bare hands." ”

Little Rainbow's eyes burned.

Tiewa wiped her tears and came up: "I'm your brother Tiewa." ”

Unexpectedly, when Little Rainbow saw his black and strong appearance, she actually cried out loud.

Zhang Changgong was so angry that he wanted to beat him, Luo Lie smiled and said: "The child recognizes life, just wait until you are familiar with it." ”

Zhang Changgong said: "Sit in the house quickly, don't forget to freeze the child, Tiewa, what are you doing in a daze? Go, find me in the village, get a pig over, let's kill the pig for the New Year." ”

"Hey!" Tiewa agreed.

Luo Lie smiled: "What are you doing to make such a big move? Tiewa can just get some food." ”

Zhang Changgong stepped forward to help carry the luggage: "Walk into the house, the big kang in the house is warm, Luo Lie, we have to drink enough today." ”

Ye Qinghong fed milk powder to Xiao Caihong, coaxed her to sleep, and then came outside, seeing that Tiewa had really gotten a big fat pig at this time, and had already killed it, and was boiling water and shaving in the yard, Tiewa smiled at Ye Qinghong: "Miss Ye, it's cold outside, don't you go into the house to rest?"

Ye Qinghong said: "Don't you want to be so exaggerated, is it enough to eat such a big pig?"

Tiewa said: "My master said, let's eat some and share some with the villagers in Majiatun." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "I'll cook later." ”

Tiewa was suspicious: "Miss Ye, you are the eldest lady, will you?"

Ye Qinghong glared at him and said, "You underestimate me?"

Tiewa smiled: "Who dares to underestimate you, there are so many of us, we can't find my Uncle Luo everywhere for so many years, as soon as your Miss Ye comes out, you will find him." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "You kid, I haven't seen you for a few years, not only is you tall, but your mouth has also become powerful." ”

Tiewa said: "I'm telling the truth. ”

Zhang Changgong and Luo Lie sat on the kang, Zhang Changgong looked at Luo Lie, his beard looked even rougher than himself, this old friend lost a lot of weight, since they met at the funeral of the blind grandmother, they didn't meet until today, Zhang Changgong knew that Luo Hunt must have happened a lot over the years, he wanted to ask but didn't know where to start.

Zhang Changgong said: "A few months ago, the blind man wrote a letter to me, and I only knew that Ye Qinghong had returned to China, and I was thinking at that time that she must have come back to find you." ”

Luo Lie said: "Ximei imitated my handwriting and wrote a letter to her, asking her to return to China to meet. ”

Zhang Changgong nodded: "Why didn't you see her?" He didn't have a good impression of Lan Ximei, but since Luo Lie chose her, he would respect her.

Luo Lie said: "She is gone, and she will never come back." ”

Zhang Changgong was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Luo Lie's words, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Poor rainbow this child." ”

Luo Lie smiled: "She is still young, I hope she can ......forget soon" Luo Lie's heart is extremely conflicted, he hopes that his daughter will forget, but he doesn't want her to forget, if his daughter forgets her mother, then his wife's spirit in the sky will not feel regret.

Zhang Changgong said: "Fortunately, there is Ye Qinghong." ”

Luo Lie is grateful to Ye Qinghong, and even more grateful to his wife for her hard work, since the day they got married, they already knew that their happiness was short-lived, even if he agreed to Feng Jiuqing's request, Feng Jiuqing could only give Lan Ximei three years of life with all his might.
