Tong Ruo rode a horse and galloped, all the way south, passing through Changping and Pingguo County, and traveled for a day and a night before arriving at Li Yan's house.

knocked on the door to see, and after a while, the door "squeaked" opened, and the person who opened the door was indeed Tian Zhe, Tian Zhe saw Tong Ruo and frowned, his eyes were full of disdain, and said, "What are you doing here!" ”

Tong Ruo was not surprised, and said, "Is my sister better?" ”

At this time, Rong Jian also came over and said sharply: "You still dare to ask junior sister!" I thought you were drowning in the arms of a witch and couldn't extricate yourself! ”

When Tong Ruo heard this, he bowed his head and was silent, his embarrassment was fully revealed, and he thought: "Since the day when the heroes won the treasure, I have often missed Li Zijie in my heart, but there is no news, and Huo Qianning treats herself well, and she really has failed her heart." ”

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel angry, this anger was not for myself, but for Huo Qianning, so he said: "What does this matter have to do with Miss Huo!" If I do something wrong, speak of me, and do anything to her! ”

Rong Jian was even more angry when he heard this, and when he remembered that his junior sister didn't want to eat for him, he actually fell ill with lovesickness, but he still defended Huo Qianning, so he said sharply: "I'm afraid that you will be fascinated by that demon girl, go back and accompany your 'Huo girl'!" ”

At the moment, the three of them are incompatible, and there is a great tendency to be tense.

"Hugh no more nonsense!" A loud shout came from the courtyard, the voice was high-pitched and bright, full of energy, which made Tong Ruo couldn't help but be stunned, obviously this person must be a practitioner with extremely high martial arts.

When Rong Jian and Tian Zhe heard this, they didn't dare to say any more, turned around and bent down and bowed their heads: "Master! ”

Tong Ruo saw Li Yan at this time, and saw that he was tall, although his sideburns were hidden with white threads, his face was ruddy, his lips were like a fierce pill, he was old and strong, but he looked haggard, obviously he had been worried about his daughter's affairs recently.

When Tong Ruo saw him, he exclaimed, "Ah, uncle! ”

When the words fell, the corners of Tong Ruo's eyes were already red, he was now alone, unrelated, although he had never met Li Yan, but he had a close feeling from his heart, where did he care about the gossip of others.

"You are Tong Ruo?" Li Yan looked at Tong Ruo, his expression was quite moved, and he was stunned for a moment and continued: "It's already so big, alas." ”

Tong Ruo led the horse and followed Li Yan into the mansion, only to see that the courtyard in the mansion was quite large, there were wooden people, wooden stakes, all kinds of weapons in the courtyard, seven or eight houses were arranged side by side, and there were several servants washing and cooking, it seemed that it was also a wealthy family.

Tong Ruo took off the various supplements he brought from the horse and presented them to Li Yan, Li Yan was polite, and then asked the servant to put them away.

Tong Ruo told Li Yan about the disappearance of his father Tong Yuan, but Li Yan's expression flashed a trace of strangeness after hearing this, and he dispersed, and then said after a long silence: "Let's go see Zijie first, this child is not lightly ill, alas! ”

When Tong Ruoyan heard this, the haze in his heart was swept away, and he was finally able to see the junior sister he was missing, and his joy was beyond words.

Everyone came to Li Zijie's incense couch together, the pine bed was paved with red lacquer, and the plum blossoms were carved on it, accompanied by the light fragrance in the room, which looked quite elegant, and the curtains on both sides of the bed were coiled.

On the bed lay a beautiful woman, with a haggard face, a pale face, and a faint breath, as if her time was short.

Tong Ruo's heart was shocked when she saw Li Zijie, recalling the appearance of her fighting and laughing that day, and when she saw the person in front of her, she was actually judging two people, and she felt like a world away.

When I thought that this was all because of myself, I felt even more guilty, and said in my heart: "Senior sister has come to this point for me, I must wait for her to recover, and then talk about returning to the county government." ”

"Zijie, who do you see coming?" Li Yan's words exuded a little tenderness and a little heartache, thinking that he, as a generation of celebrities, has always been majestic and solemn, but now he has shown such a tender side, which is embarrassing.

Li Zijie was lying on the bed, as if she hadn't heard it, she was stunned for a long time before she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were blurred, and she saw the young man who was haunted by her dreams for nearly a month standing in front of the bed, and for a while she thought it was her hallucination, closed her eyes hard, and then opened them and saw Tong Ruo's figure, and then she was sure in her heart.

Although Li Zijie was seriously ill, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart, the corners of her pale mouth raised slightly, and said, "Brother Tong!" Brother Tong, you're here! ”

Tong Ruo listened to this faint voice, leaned down, and said tenderly on the side of the bed: "Senior sister, blame me, blame me for not being able to come to see you earlier!" If I had come early, I would not have ......," he sighed as he said this, and tears were already soaking his cheeks.

Li Zijie shook her head slightly, and said, "I don't blame you, Brother Tong, it's me who didn't let my father go to you, you and Gongsun are in a hurry, how can I distract you." Although we are sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, we also know that national affairs are more important than Mount Tai, Brother Tong, I ......" Speaking of this, he couldn't stop coughing.

"Little junior sister, you are weak, don't say too much, I understand your thoughts, it's just my ......"

Tong Ruo said this, and there was a person in the room with a sudden change in expression, and beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead flowed down.

Tian Zhe immediately knelt on the ground and said, "It's all my fault!" It's because I didn't take good care of my sister that she became like this! Master! Brother Tong! If you want to blame me, blame me. ”

Li Yan and Tong Ruo were stunned when they heard these words.

Tong Ruoxin said: "Senior Brother Tian has always taken good care of his junior sister, and today his junior sister is sick in bed because of himself, but he dares to take this responsibility, which is really worthy of being born in a famous family!" My sister treats me like this, and I don't even have as much heart as Tian Zhe. ”

Li Yan was also quite moved, and hurriedly pulled Tian Zhe up, and said: "Silly boy, what does this matter have to do with you, Ziling and Zijie reunite after a long absence, let them talk more, let's go out first!" ”

After Li Yan finished speaking, he led Rong Jian and Tian Zhe to the door.

Seeing them leaving, Tong Ruo thought: "It must be because my sister has something unspeakable that she didn't reply to my letter, and if I ask again now, wouldn't it be right in her arms, which will make her sad and sad, and today she has ended up like this, why should I mention these sad things again." ”

Tong Ruo changed his words and said: "Senior sister, when you are well, I will take you to Xiangping City for two days, there are really a lot of fun things in Xiangping City, and I will buy you whatever you want when the time comes." ”

Tian Zhe looked back in front of the door several times for fear that the two of them would talk about the letter again, and when he saw them talking about other things, he left.

When Li Zijie heard what Tong Ruo said, she smiled brightly and said, "You have to talk and count, I want too many things, I'm afraid you won't be willing to do it then." ”

"How so? What my sister wants is to go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, and I will find it for you, and I will give you my life, what else is there that I can't reluctant? ”

Li Zijie smiled again, tears kept rolling in her eyes, and her hand slowly stretched out from the quilt to hold Tong Ruo's hand: "No, no, I don't want your life, your life can be worth a few dollars, I want my senior brother to live well, otherwise who will buy me something." ”

Both hands were clenched, and the faces of the two were flushed, but neither of them let go of each other's hands.

"Okay, I promise you everything, I live well, you have to live well."

Li Zijie's words changed sharply, and then said, "Are you the same for Miss Huo?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Tong Ruo's heart was like a galloping horse, his mind was full of Huo Qianning's shadow, and his hand was suddenly withdrawn from Li Zijie's hand.

Li Zijie had no smile on her face and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Tong Ruo himself couldn't understand why he finally met Li Zijie, who was thinking about it for a long time, why did Huo Qianning react so violently when he mentioned it, and said in his heart: "Senior sister is in danger, why do I still think of other women at this time, I must be afraid that Li Zijie will misunderstand, so I will have such a reaction!" ”

Thinking of this, he held Li Zijie's hand again, and said, "It must be only for junior sisters!" ”

Having said that, Huo Qianning's figure in his mind always lingered.

The two talked very happily, Tong Ruo stayed at Li's house for another two days, and saw that Li Zijie's condition was gradually improving, and she was able to get out of bed and move a little, and her face was more ruddy than before.

After dinner on this day, Li Zijie said to Tong Ruo: "Tomorrow evening, my father wants you to go to the back mountains and forests, saying that there is something he wants to tell you." ”

After saying that, he ran away.

Tong Ruo saw Li Zijie's cheeks flushed and her demeanor cowardly, and thought, "Something? Looking at my junior sister like this, does the master want to marry my junior sister to me? ”

Thinking of this section, my heart kept pounding, my ears and cheeks were hot, and I was so unhappy, but after a while, my face was full of sadness, and I was still a little heartbroken, and I wandered in the courtyard for a while, and I couldn't help but spit out a person's name: "Huo Qianning." ”
