"Long Ting, I heard that a noodle restaurant on Qiandao Street is not bad, do you want to try it together?" Ouyang Qian entered the hall with wind on the soles of his feet, only to find that several of them were sitting here, and said with a smile, "I said that you are not in the school, nor are you at home, and I thought you went out crazy again, so you are here." ”

Nanfeng nibbled on the apple and crossed Erlang's leg and said leisurely: "You can run around all day long, why do we have to be on time every day, the anti-righteous father wants to punish him together, and you can't run away." ”

"Come on, it's all your reason." Then he looked at Long Ting, "Do you want to go?" ”

"Go, it's just that a pot of vases fell from the beams of my house, and I want to change the pot and go up with a new one, since you're here, then you can change it." Long Ting was holding a pot of fresh green plants, Ouyang Qian took it, and said speechlessly, "I really don't understand, what vase do you put on the beams of the house, if it falls, it will hit your head." ”

"My mother likes it, she always likes to sit in a chair and look at the sky, and she can see the vase at this angle, which can make her feel better."

Ouyang Qian responded: "Hmm." Then let the little servant move the ladder over, carefully put the vase up, Long Ting sat on the seat and watched, commanding from time to time, "A little back, a little forward, a little more exposed, and then ...... back."

Fang Shi sneered: "Forward and backward, inside and out, backward and forward at the same time...... Nanfang also smirked together.

Ouyang Qian moved several times, and Long Ting said that it was almost this position, and Ouyang Qian put the vase steady.

Several people went to the noodle restaurant together, the taste was really good, several of them ate several bowls, and at the end of the meal and ate fruit, Long Ting wiped his mouth and said lightly: "Actually, I am not feeling well today, and I don't have much appetite......

"What's going on?" Ouyang Qian asked, and Long Ting sighed, "My mother is not very well this time, and I can't tell the reason after seeing the doctor." ”

"Do you want the imperial doctor in the palace to show your aunt?"

"Forget it, my mother doesn't like it."

"How about letting Lone come and show her?"

"She's been in retreat again, and she hasn't even seen me."

Ouyang Qian had no choice but to give up: "Then you should always pay attention to her physical condition, if there is really something wrong, it is better to treat it as soon as possible." ”

"Got it." Long Ting knew that she had a heart disease, and it was not a medicine that could be cured, but he didn't know how to help her.

Since her father died, her mother has begun to escape from the world, and many times Long Ting wants to take her out to relax, but she is not very willing, and even the last time she went out was two or three years ago.

Ouyang Qian sat behind the desk, his fingertips fiddling with the brush on the desk for a while, and his thoughts didn't know where to go.

"What's wrong? What struck you? Why is it in such a bad state today? Fang Shi asked curiously.

Ouyang Qian retracted his thoughts, straightened his body, and said lightly: "Today is Uncle Long Lan's death day, and I just went to see him come back." ”

Fang Shi let out an 'oh' and asked a little cautiously, "Did you go with Long Ting?" ”

"No, he went before me, and I saw the flowers and food he left behind." Ouyang Qian nestled deeply in the chair, closed his eyes and gently rubbed his temples.

"Long Ting is a very affectionate person, he misses his uncle very much at this time of year."

Ouyang Qian looked at the door, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What are you thinking?"

Ouyang Qian opened his mouth gently, his voice seemed to drift away, with endless confusion but full of firmness: "Long Ting...... I owe him once, Uncle Long Lan died in front of him because he saved me and my father-in-law, and he cried in the dark, as if it was yesterday. He is my brother who has died, and I can't let him lose any more relatives, so I want to protect him and protect the people he cherishes. ”

"You can." Fang Shi encouraged, "You are also his relative. ”

Ouyang Qian nodded firmly.

Long Ting's family has no laughter all day long, since the death of his father, his mother's health has been worse day by day, chanting in the ancestral hall every day, except for eating and sleeping, he rarely comes out and walks around, and rarely cares about Long Ting. Long Ting looked at the huge Dragon Mansion, and often felt lonely, so he often ran to Yuwang's Mansion to play with a few of them, he wanted his mother to come out to accompany him from time to time, but he couldn't speak, he always felt that since his father passed away, his mother and himself had been separated by an insurmountable chasm.

The knock sounded softly, and Tao Yongxi's chanting voice paused, opened his eyes slightly, and said, "Come in." ”

She knew that no one came to knock on the door of the ancestral hall on weekdays, and once or twice once or twice, only Long Ting.

Long Ting pushed the door in, walked to her and knelt on the futon next to her, first kowtowed to his father's spiritual position, put on the pillar incense, Tao Yongxi saw him finish a series of movements, closed his eyes again, pushed the Buddha beads and began to chant the scriptures.

Long Tingfu knelt on the futon again, looked at his mother's obviously aged face, his heart was sour, he reached out to hold her arm, Tao Yongxi's whole body stiffened, put down the scriptures, turned his head to look at him, and asked, "Long'er, do you have something to say to your mother?" ”

"Mother, the child sees that you are stuck in the ancestral hall all day, and your body is not as good as before, it is better to go out for a walk, and the child will accompany you." Long Ting's eyes were shining, and his voice was extremely quiet, for fear that his mother would refuse.

Tao Yongxi straightened his body, let out a smile lightly, and said: "My mother is already old, and it will be easy to move around in a few days, so I still chant more scriptures and pray for your father in the ancestral hall, hoping that he can live better in heaven." ”

Long Ting was extremely aggrieved in his heart, holding Tao Yongxi's hand and trembling uncontrollably, he bit his lip fiercely, trying to suppress his instinctive twitches, but the amplitude trembled more and more, Tao Yongxi saw his tears like rain, his heart fluctuated after all, and said: "You have grown up, you can't be coquettish like a child, and your mother will not be there in the future, and the entire Dragon Mansion will depend on you for support, understand?" ”

"Understood......" Long Ting looked up at her cautiously, "But, now the child still has a mother, right?" ”

Tao Yongxi lowered his eyes, was silent for a long time, and said, "Okay, where does Long'er want to go?" ”

Long Ting's whole person was happy, and said with a smile: "The child has planned several places suitable for playing, they are all relatively close, your health is not good, you can't do more running, let's go out and choose." ”

"Okay." Long Ting got up with her, and the two went out to look at those places, Tao Yongxi looked at it, as if he was not very interested, just blindly let Long Ting take the idea. Seeing that her interest was not high, Long Ting also began to be depressed, put down a few pages of paper in his hand, he had prepared a plan for several days, and the food and accommodation in each place were well planned, but none of his mother liked it.

At this time, Ouyang Qian was coming to the Dragon Mansion to look for the Dragon Court, and when he saw Tao Yongxi coming out, he was very surprised, and strode forward, arching his hand and saying, "Qian'er has seen Auntie, Auntie, are you in better health?" ”

"It's Qian'er." Tao Yongxi stood up, took his hand, and said with a smile, "You've grown so tall, are you here to find Long'er?" ”

"Yes, my father-in-law said that autumn is the best time for hunting, so let me ask Long Ting if I want to go with you." In fact, this proposal was made by him, and he knew that Long Ting would definitely be in a bad mood for a while, so he wanted to take him out to relax, "Auntie, you must be bored if you meditate and chant in the ancestral hall all day long, right?" Why don't you go hunting with us? The scenery outside the paddock is very good, the air is also very good, and Aunt Yun and Gu Fang are also going, will you go with you? ”

Tao Yongxi glanced at his son who was not interested, instead of choosing and choosing, it would be better to go out and walk around with them, so he said in a low voice: "I have no opinion, what does Long'er think?" ”

Long Ting stood up: "Since my mother is willing, I am naturally willing." ”

Ouyang Qian smiled: "That's great, I've got all the food and clothes ready, you guys pack up and come to Yuwang's Mansion, there is a carriage outside to pick you up." ”

Long Ting frowned slightly: "How do you know that my mother is also going?" Even the carriage was ready. ”

"No, I didn't know that my aunt came out of retreat, thinking that you were the only one who went, didn't you want to serve the Hou Ye better? Now that my aunt has come out, it would be better for you to go together. ”

Long Ting actually understood why he did this, and he was moved in his heart, but he didn't say anything on his face.

"Then aunt, Qian'er will retreat first, you and Long Ting will clean up and come, if they know that you are also going, they must be very happy."

"Okay, be careful on the way back."
