But the visitor did not respond to her, only approached slowly.

didn't speak, but continued to walk towards where he was, Qiao Yumian, who couldn't see, became nervous, and stood up by touching the stone.

Soon, the footsteps were almost in front of her, and judging by the hearing experience she had accumulated over many years of living in the dark, the two were only five or six paces apart.

“…… Who are you? She asked again, a little wary in her voice.

At first, she heard the footsteps like Cui Lang, but Cui Lang said that he would not fail to respond to her.

He likes to play tricks on people, but he probably knows that she is timid and will never play tricks on her.

Even if the person who came here was not Cui Lang, the footsteps were obviously a man, could it be which prisoner?

“…… Little lady Joe? ”

The person who came finally spoke, and his voice was slightly surprised when he had just come back to his senses.

After Qiao Yumian was stunned, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be you." ”

The tension in her body dissipated, and she even sat down on the stone very naturally, the life of a blind person was very different from that of ordinary people, a state of relaxation that she rarely had in front of outsiders, and perhaps she herself did not realize it at this moment.

She asked a little puzzled: "I called you just now, why didn't you speak?" ”

"Did you call me?" Cui Lang smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't seem to listen." ”

And because he kept his head down and walked, he couldn't see her.

So he hurriedly asked her, "Didn't scare you, did you?" ”

"A little." Qiao Yumian said honestly: "It's just a little bit." ”

In the end, it is not in an unfamiliar environment, but in the courtyard of one's own house, and there will be no dangerous people who can touch it.

"I didn't expect you to be here, I'll pay more attention next time!" Cui Lang seriously assured her.

"Choi Rok-roo...... Why are you here alone? Qiao Yumian couldn't help asking: "The banquet should have just ended, right?" Why don't you stay in the front hall and talk to Song Huiyuan and them? ”

Hasn't he always liked to be the most lively?

"I'll come out and take some breath." Although she still can't see it, Cui Lang is always used to laughing when he talks to her, even if he doesn't want to laugh so much at the moment: "I somehow came here." ”

Qiao Yumian inexplicably thought that day last year, she came here crying and running alone, he chased after her to comfort her, and he also said that this pool of green lotus was different from what he had seen in his life.

She asked what was different, and he said to her mysteriously that when her eyes were healed, he would only need to see them with his own eyes.

She was just smiling and not thinking she had this opportunity.

But now...... In the near future, she may be able to see for herself the difference in this pool of green lotus.

But at this time, her attention was on Cui Lang in front of her, and she first asked, "Did Cui Liulang drink a lot?" ”

"Not much, just two or three!" Cui Lang subconsciously took two steps back, and hurriedly waved his sleeves back: "But the smell of wine has smoked you?" ”

Qiao Yumian shook her head lightly: "No." ”

She "looked" at him, and asked softly, "Have you had anything on your mind lately?" ”

Cui Lang was stunned by her question.

Without hearing his answer, Qiao Yumian said softly: "If you don't want to say it, it's okay." ”

She was not a nosyman, on the contrary, she had developed a habit of closing herself in a small room due to her blindness for many years, and she hardly interacted with outsiders except for her own family.

The reason why she took the initiative to ask Cui Lang at this moment was because in her eyes, he was already different from those outsiders.

He is a well-known gentleman, and he is very arrogant on weekdays, but when he tries to make her happy, he always pays attention to proportion, never disturbs her, and never makes her feel at a loss.

She also knew that there were many times when he would sneak behind her, protect her, and block the clutter of the crowd for her.

Such patience and meticulousness, she has only felt it in Brother An, Brother Sui'an, and Ning Ning.

However, Cui Lang gave her a very different feeling.

All in all, except for the first time in Dayun Temple and the goodbye to Guozijian, the two of them got along very happily.

So, she also wanted to care about his feelings, if he was willing to share it with her.

"Little lady Qiao is...... How can you see it? Cui Lang didn't answer the first question, and Ai Ai was a little low between his eyebrows and eyes, like a dog who had been wronged.

He looked at the girl sitting on the stone, she was wearing a lilac-colored skirt, covered with a moon-white light veil, her complexion was fair, and her body was slender, cleaner than the green lotus leaves that had begun to unfold behind her.

Although she couldn't see her eyes, her face still gave a serious look: "Although my eyes can't see, my heart can see it." ”

Cui Lang looked at her, his mouth moved, and then slowly deflated.

"I noticed it some time ago, and at that time, I just thought that we were all worried about Ningning's affairs, so I didn't ask you specifically." Qiao Yumian said: "Until the news of Ning Ning came back yesterday, everything has been settled, but your heart still doesn't seem to be fully unloaded......

She knew his heart, and ordinary things would not be kept in his heart for so long, and she expected that this matter must be somewhat important.

Cui Lang, who had a pouted mouth, gradually turned red with red eyes.

After a while, he walked towards Qiao Yumian, sat down on his knees on the grass next to the boulder where she was sitting, hung his head, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "It's my eldest brother......"

His voice was low: "It's highly likely that something happened to him." ”

Qiao Yumian was slightly surprised: "Governor Cui? ”

Cui Lang's voice was hoarse.

"Is it in the North?" Qiao Yumian tugged at the handkerchief in his hand: "There is also a war in the north?" ”

"No, the eldest brother rushed to Luoyang to lead troops to resist Xu Zhengye on a secret order, but he was assassinated halfway...... The news came back from everywhere that the eldest brother had an accident......"

The news from the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is the most detailed, saying that the eldest brother was seriously injured and fell into the ice lake, and it is difficult to turn around in that situation......

Thinking of this, Cui Lang grabbed the hair on the back of his head hard, put his head on his knees, and tears came out.

Although Qiao Yumian couldn't bear it, she still asked him for details.

Knowing that it was "dead and no body visible", she said: "Even if this is the case, it is uncertain what the outcome will be...... Cui Dadu Governor is already very comparable, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune. ”

"I'm looking forward to ...... like this," Cui Lang almost cried, "But if the eldest brother is fine, he will definitely send a message home." ”

"Maybe they haven't gotten out of danger yet, and they don't dare to act rashly? Or maybe the letter is already on its way and will soon be delivered to Beijing? ”

The girl's tone was not empty comfort, but she was seriously analyzing this possibility.

"It's like no one believed that Ning Ning could kill Xu Zhengye at the beginning...... Qiao Yumian said in a tone of conviction: "In my opinion, Governor Cui is the same as Ning Ning, there are many things that we can't think of, but they can always do it, and this time, it must be the same." ”

Cui Lang was really moved by what she said, and raised his head to look at her: "Is it serious?" ”

Qiao Yumian rarely made a look of confidence and nodded affirmatively with him.

Cui Lang pulled out a not-so-good-looking smile: "Then borrow the auspicious words of Little Lady Qiao." ”

Qiao Yumian smiled and handed him a handkerchief.

Cui Lang hesitated for a moment before daring to take it.

The two of them sat on the rock, the other on the grass, and talked.

Cui Lang's tears had just dried up when they came out again.

“…… Since I was a child, I wanted to be close to my eldest brother, but my father didn't allow it, and I didn't dare to ...... I think my eldest brother should not like me and look down on me. ”

"When I was not yet growing up, my eldest brother secretly left home and went to the barracks...... Whenever he came back, I only dared to look at him secretly. ”

In my memory, the eldest brother spent most of the time at home, as if he was kneeling in the ancestral hall...... At first, I was puzzled why the eldest brother had to rebel against his grandfather and father in the clan, and insisted on fighting on the battlefield......

"Until one time later, I overheard my father asking the eldest brother in the ancestral hall what he was planning, and the eldest brother replied, for himself and for all the people."

"My father was even more angry, he accused his eldest brother of being full of hypocrisy, but in fact he was disloyal and unfilial, ashamed of the ancestors of the Cui family, and unworthy of being the son of the Cui family." Cui Lang said unevenly: "I said, my father is clearly full of selfish interests and prejudices, and he is not worthy of being the father of the eldest brother at all." ”

Qiao Yumian was a little surprised: "You really rushed forward and said that?" ”

"Got it." Cui Lang's voice paused, "I said it in my heart." ”

After that, don't forget to justify your name: "If I say it on the spot, I won't be able to sit here at this moment, is it a good man who knows the times......?"

Qiao Yumian smiled and sighed unexpectedly and nodded.

Cui Lang continued: "Actually, I know that no matter how dissatisfied those clansmen treat their eldest brother on weekdays, they still value their eldest brother the most......

"Part of the reason why the eldest brother was able to successfully take charge of the Xuan Ce Army was because of the identity of the Cui family, but this identity also caused a lot of trouble to the eldest brother, and even ...... The saint did not trust the eldest brother as much as he seemed on the surface, and it was also because of the eldest brother's surname Cui. ”

"Father's words don't make sense, the eldest brother has never owed anything to the Cui family, especially not to his father." Cui Lang looked at the other side of the lotus pond, and then at the blue and clear sky: "In the eyes of the clansmen, the eldest brother will always be out of place, and he will be a backbone...... But in my opinion, that's because the eldest brother was born and should not belong to the Cui family, the Cui family tried to imprison him, and his father even used family rules and family rules to trap him with filial piety, but the eldest brother never compromised. ”

The eldest brother's insistence has always been silent but unshakable.

"A character like the eldest brother was born not to belong to the Cui family, but to the world."

"It is a blessing for the eldest brother to break free from that cage." Cui Lang's eyes were slightly red, and his expression was rarely serious: "My brother is really amazing." ”

Such a great eldest brother, such an eldest brother who has hidden his identity and entered the military camp since he was twelve years old, should never have an accident like this.

"I have to burn incense every morning and evening recently...... Cui Lang choked up: "If I can exchange one life for another, I would rather exchange my eldest brother's life and I die." ”

As he spoke, he said in frustration: "But a waster like me, who has no merit, is not enough to exchange it for my eldest brother, and God will not agree to this bloody business." ”

He stopped calling God God, because he found that God didn't treat him as a grandson at all—if something really happened to his eldest brother!

Cui Lang looked at the sky and secretly threatened to unilaterally sever the relationship with God "grandson".

"What are you talking about, Governor Cui will be safe, and you don't need to exchange your life." Qiao Yumian said disapprovingly: "Besides, who said that you have no merit?" ”

She said seriously: "I don't know how Cui Liulang was in the past, and I don't recognize it, so I won't judge it." But the Cui Liulang I know, he is warm-hearted and sincere, open-minded and generous, informal, but knows how to take care of other people's feelings, and he is really a very good person. ”

Cui Lang was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he asked expectantly: "...... Anything else? ”

Qiao Yumian thought for a while before saying, "He's also very good at scolding people......"

Cui Lang: "Huh? "Well, is that a good thing?

"I've never heard of those scolding tricks." Qiao Yumian sighed lightly: "I'm not good at it, and then I'm annoyed, but I can't speak, so I can only be anxious in my heart." ”

Cui Lang immediately straightened his chest: "Then I'll teach you from now on!" ”

Qiao Yumian didn't have much confidence: "But I'm afraid I won't be able to learn ......."

Cui Lang said again: "Then whoever bullied you and made you unhappy, I will help you scold back!" ”

Qiao Yumian pursed her lips and smiled, nodding.

Cui Lang smiled at this time, couldn't help but move closer in her direction, looked up at her, and asked without giving up: "Then apart from these, do I have any other advantages?" ”

Or it was a little closer, Qiao Yumian's cheeks were slightly hot, and she looked at the lotus pond a little uncomfortably, and after a while, she whispered: "I...... I heard Xiaoqiu say that you like to wear light red, and few men can suppress light red...... They all said, "You're good-looking." ”

Cui Lang heard this, raised his hand and touched his face, and coughed lightly: "It's not bad......

The corners of his mouth turned up, and it was rare to be modest: "But in our Cui family's generation, the best-looking one is still the eldest brother." ”

It's just that the eldest brother doesn't love to pamper himself more than he does.

Qiao Yumian bent the corners of her mouth, how good-looking Cui Dadudu, who belongs to the world, is not curious, she is only most curious about the appearance of the person beside her.

The spring breeze swept around, with the sweetness of flowers, the bitterness of grass, and the moisture of pond water, mixed in the air, making spring fresh and vigorous.

After a while, Qiao Yumian spoke again: "Actually, you don't have to remind yourself that you are not as good as Cui Dadudu. ”

"Just as I can't compare to Ning Ning everywhere, this is a fact, but not as good as Ning Ning doesn't mean that I'm bad."

She said: "In this world, there is the light of the sun and the moon, and there is also the light of fireflies, as long as you want, everyone can shine their own light." ”

Cui Lang looked at the girl who was clearly glowing in his eyes at this moment.

"I have also given up on myself, and a long time ago, I had thoughts of suicide...... Even some time ago, I also thought, Ning Ning is so powerful, but I am mediocre all day long, what is the meaning of people like me walking in this world? If my eyes are truly healed, what will I do next? Do you get married and have children? But this answer did not make me feel happy and satisfied. ”

Cui Lang was just about to answer, but she said on her own: "If that's the case, I always feel that I have failed these lost eyes......"

"These days, I know what I want." She said: "No matter what happens in the future, where and what you do, I think at least one skill can emit fireworks." ”

"Even if you can't be like Ning Ning, you can at least be self-reliant, and no longer live like a drag and only depend on others for the rest of your life."

"You're never a drag." Cui Lang looked at her very seriously: "But it's amazing that you have such an idea." ”

Qiao Yumian: "It's good if you don't laugh at me." ”

"Idiots would laugh at such a great idea!" Cui Lang seemed to suddenly get excited, he stood up, clenched his fists and said, "I also want to be like you, I have a skill, the light of a candle!" ”

He is so stupid, all along, he only knows that he is not as good as his eldest brother, he will only look up to his eldest brother from afar, and yearn for everything that his eldest brother has, but why doesn't he choose to do something?

But......

“…… What can I do? Cui Lang was quickly stumped at the first step, he scratched his head, and couldn't think of a decent and serious skill.

"Don't worry, we can think slowly together." Qiao Yumian smiled and said, "I haven't really thought about it either." ”

But she has a rough idea, but she doesn't know if she's this material.

"Yes, think slowly!" Cui Lang smiled, looking at the person in front of him, he suddenly felt lucky and upward, he could feel that he was on the way to go up.

He never imagined that he would meet such a person.

Cui Lang's heart was surging, and her fingers were clenched again, and one of them was still holding her handkerchief.

His face turned red nervously, and he mustered up the courage to speak: "Mianmian, in fact, I ......"

Qiao Yumian was stunned by his title, and sat there motionless, his breathing stagnant for a while: "What...... What? ”

"I ......" Cui Lang had never said so, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a pot of shouts.

"Lang Jun!"

A pot was quickly found, with a smile on his face.

Cui Lang wanted to give him a kick.

But the next words of a pot made him lose his anger immediately.

“…… Lang Jun, Da Lang Jun, he is safe and sound! Madame, tell you to go home and read the letter quickly! ”

The news of Cui Jing's accident has been concealed, and at this moment, a pot is talking close to Cui Lang's ear.

Cui Lang jumped up: "Really? The eldest brother is really fine! ”

A pot nodded again and again: "A letter from Da Langjun in person!" ”

"Great!" Cui Lang was so happy that he got carried away, suddenly turned around, and grabbed Qiao Yumian's shoulder: "Mianmian, your words are really effective, you are really my lucky star!" ”

Qiao Yumian's face turned red for a while: "Cui Dadu is safe, it's good to ......"

"Then I'll go back to the house first!"

Qiao Yumian nodded.

Cui Lang left happily.

After making sure that he was far away, Qiao Yumian raised his hand, lightly fanned the wind in front of his hot cheeks, and exhaled a hot breath.

At this time, Xiaoqiu turned back, saw that her face was hot, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly went to check her forehead temperature, and she was not allowed to eat the wine she brought, nagging to help people back.

Qiao Yumian was like a puppet, being led by Xiaoqiu, and her mind was in a mess.

Cui Lang didn't finish speaking, she seemed to ...... You can guess.

……

When Cui Lang returned home, he went to look for his mother, and his feet seemed to fly.

Halfway through, the yellow dog raised at home wagged his tail to meet him, he bent down, picked up the dog's head, and kissed him fiercely: "...... What a rhubarb! ”

The yellow dog was flattered and wagged his tail and followed Cui Lang, who walked in front, selecting the dog hair on his mouth as he walked.

"Mother, what about the letter from the eldest brother!"

As soon as Cui Lang walked up the stone steps, he shouted at the hall.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, but facing a slightly frowning cold face in the upper hall, Cui Lang immediately shrunk his neck, restrained his demeanor, and saluted in a proper manner: "The son has seen his father and mother. ”

Guess what is the skill that Mianmian wants to have?
