It's still warm in the bed.

Before going to bed, I put a few soup women on the table, and kept the quilt covering, and the heat was all in it.

On the contrary, it was the one that Lin Yunyan took out to cover Xu Jian's leg before, and now there is only a little residual warmth.

She simply carried it at the end of the bed, untied her coat and went to sleep.

Bang Yue put down the veil.

The dim light shines through the thick curtain, leaving only a glimmer of light.

Lin Yunyan turned over and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's the fourth watch," Bang Yue said softly, "County Lord, the slave has blown out the lantern."

"Blow it."

The room was completely dark.

Lin Yunyan lay quietly, and when she heard the sound of Suosuo, she knew that Bang Yue had also rested.

The girl seemed to be guarding the door, and it didn't take long for her breathing to be smooth and long.

Lin Yunyan couldn't sleep.

There was a lot of choking and emotion in the middle of the sentence just now, so that when she couldn't speak, her heart was always messy, and she didn't have time and opportunity to sort out her thoughts.

At this moment, everything around her was quiet, and she could comb it from the beginning.

The experience of two lifetimes passed in front of her one by one, joy and grief were mixed together, and for a moment, Lin Yunyan almost couldn't tell when and where a certain fragment was.

It made her breath tighten.

Compared with Xu Jian, her "memory" is actually very clean and concise.

In the previous life, it was completely from birth to death, and no matter how much changes have been made in this life, in the end, it has only been more than a year.

That's all.

If she really wants to distinguish carefully, she can certainly separate the two worlds and not mix them together, but she can't stand the moment of trance when her mind is uncertain and her mind is chaotic.

What about Xu Jian?

How much can he tell?

How can he tell the difference?

So much time, so much intersection and repetition, in Xu Jian's words, in that period of experience when he opened his eyes and didn't know what day it was, how could he sort out a truth and nothingness?

No, it shouldn't be said that.

There is no nothingness.

For Xu Jian, those are all real, and they are all things he has personally experienced.

All the "truths" are mixed together, but we must always understand which part of the truth is it.

Lin Yunyan took a deep breath.

"She's going crazy sooner or later."

This is what Xu Jian said about Mrs. Xu, but it is not strange for Lin Yunyan to say that Xu Jian is crazy.

However, Xu Jian is not crazy, he is still persistent, combing, trying his best to use so many of his "wrong" experiences to fight for a "correct" future.

Because she's here, she's on the "real" this time.

Xu Jian can't afford to lose.

Maybe it was because she had been holding her breath for a long time, and there was a dull pain in her chest, Lin Yunyan spit out this breath, but she didn't ease it much, so uncomfortable that she could only press her heart with the palm of her hand.

No wonder Xu Jian refused to say it before.

With so much "past", how could he open his mouth so easily......

Lin Yunyan subconsciously turned over.

She thought of Mrs. Xu, without Mrs. Xu's words, she would not have been able to piece together so many fragments, there was no painting that was almost the finishing touch to Xu Jian, and Xu Jian could not have taken the pen and pressed that point.

Mrs. Xu was concerned about Xu Jian's injuries, and she kept thinking about them, so much so that she dreamed of them.

Lin Yunyan clenched her fingers.

And what about her?

She, the person who once accompanied Xu Jian to death, what did she dream of?

For more than a year, she ......

Lin Yunyan's eyes tightened.

If there is any dream that is her real nightmare, it is something that she will never forget for many years, only "fire".

Lin Yunyan

In fact, I can't remember the dream at that time, but when I grew up, I heard Mama Wang mention it.

When she lived in Cining Palace when she was a child, she had a dream crying in the middle of the night, and the queen mother hugged and coaxed to fall asleep again, and when she lived in Bofu, she woke up crying three or four times in a dream in January, and she was so worried that the queen mother sent Mama Ma to take care of her.

All she dreamed about at that time was a fire, no matter how specific she was, she couldn't tell it when she was young, and the Queen Mother didn't let people ask more.

Everyone thought it was a mother-daughter connection.

When the Dingguo Temple fired, Lin Yunyan was only one and a half years old, and she was not present, she stayed in the capital to be taken care of by the elders, and she had not experienced the fire in other places.

Later, as she got older, she didn't have those dreams anymore.

But today, Lin Yunyan can't eat it if she thinks about it again.

Was it really the fire of Dingguo Temple that she dreamed of?

The fire she really experienced was with Xu Jian.

Those frightening dreams in her childhood may all come from her memories of facing death......

In terms of time, her childhood should be outside the chaos, but time is too chaotic, and maybe in the impossible and undesirable corners, she has been buried in fragments.

Can she and Xu Jian build a way out of these fragments?

The ...... that the fragments brought to them

A thought rushed into her mind, Lin Yunyan sat up suddenly, grabbed the quilt with her fingers, and looked ahead in a daze.

It was so dark that even if her eyes adjusted to it for a while, she couldn't actually see anything clearly.

All she could hear was her own heartbeat, one after the other, like a drum.

Bang Yue was also awakened: "County Lord?"

"Is it dawn?" Lin Yunyan's voice trembled a little, and she tried to calm down, "When will it dawn?"

Bang Yue turned her head to look at the direction of the window, and it was dark outside: "It's not bright, you ......."

"I'm looking for my eldest sister, I have something to ask her." Lin Yunyan said.

Bang Yue hurriedly said, "Then we have to wait for dawn, the eldest girl is still asleep at this time."

"You've worked hard, you can help me bring a message to her......

Bang Yue put on her clothes and lit the lamp, and her heart was up and down.

The county lord of her family has always been very thoughtful in doing things, but she is also methodical, and it is really rare to ignore it like this today.

She was about to lift the curtain, but saw Lin Yunyan get up by herself.

"Or I'll go over and ask her face to face."

Bang Yue looked at her expression and saw that she was anxious, and knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she could only say, "It's cold outside, you change your clothes first."

Lin Yunyan hurriedly changed her clothes, and her long hair was simply pulled up and wrapped in a thick snow coat.

Bang Yue picked up a lantern and opened the door.

This movement, that Ma Ma also woke up, and when she saw the master and servant coming out, she panicked for a while.

"What's going on?" She picked up a coat and rushed out, her head still looking into the house, and asked Bang Yue in a suppressed voice, "Didn't you leave?"

Bang Yue knew that she was referring to the Fu Guo Gong, so she said, "It's been a while, and it's the county lord who suddenly wants to find the eldest girl."

Mama Ma was puzzled.

What is it that matters, that you have to find someone before dawn?

Lin Yunyan saw that Mama Ma was in a hurry, so she said, "A little thing, it's just that I'm too worried about it, and I can't sleep if I don't understand it."

Mama Ma: ......

There's no reason to ask at this hour!

But she couldn't persuade her, so she could only signal Bang Yue to be more careful, and then didn't wake up the mother-in-law who was guarding the courtyard door, and opened the door for Lin Yunyan herself.

Bang Yue walked ahead with a lantern, and Lin Yunyan followed quickly.

In the dead of night, footsteps echoed.

Lin Yunyan remembered the night road she had walked when she first woke up, and felt that something was missing in a trance, and then she figured out that there was no sound of a wheelchair pressing against the floor tiles.

She was too used to Xu Jian by her side.

At that time, when I heard the movement of a wheelchair, I would feel heartbroken, even if I was in danger

Ann many.

She's not alone.

The night wind blew the lanterns around, and Lin Yunyan stepped up her pace and rushed to the outside of Qingpu Courtyard.

Bang Yue stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the woman asked wistfully, "Who?"

"It's the county lord, the county lord has something urgent to find the eldest girl."

When the mother-in-law heard this, she didn't dare to delay, let alone complain, so she hurriedly came and opened the door.

Lin Yunyan went in and explained in a low voice, "Don't wake up the second uncle, I'll talk to the eldest sister for a few words."

The mother-in-law should go down by herself.

Lin Yunyan walked around the courtyard and knocked on Lin Yunjing's door.

Lin Yunjing was still sleeping deeply, and when she heard that Lin Yunyan was coming, she was stunned for a while.

The maid lit the lamp and lifted the curtain, Lin Yunjing looked at Lin Yunyan, who was blown red by the cold wind, and rubbed her eyes twice.

The drowsiness receded for the most part, and she didn't get off the bed, but only patted the futon: "Leng is like this, come here quickly."

Looking at Lin Yunjing, who was urging her, Lin Yunyan's eagerness fell all the way, and her shoulders were loosened.

Untied her snow coat, took off her coat, kicked her shoes, and without saying a word, she got into the quilt that Lin Yunjing lifted for her, and as soon as she lay down, she was wrapped tightly.

Lin Yunjing tucked the corners of the quilt and touched her hand: "Cold."

Not only cold, but also crazy.

If it's summer, it may not be possible to show the white belly of the fish at this time, not to mention that the night is long in winter, and it is still dark, but Lin Yunyan knocked on the door regardless of sleeping.

It's not crazy, but what?

Motioning to the maid to blow out the lamp and put down the tent, there were only two sisters in the tent, the same as when they were children.

"Let's talk," Lin Yunjing asked softly next to her, "What a big deal is it that Yun Yan doesn't even care about the hour."

Lin Yunyan smiled: "Come and ask the eldest sister for the answer."

"Those two questions?" Lin Yunjing smiled, "I didn't figure it out, otherwise, I would have to knock on the door of Bao'an Garden in the middle of the night."

Lin Yunyan said: "I remember that the eldest sister said that at that time, you always heard a voice telling you over and over again not to marry Su Ke, do you remember that voice?"

Lin Yunjing's smile froze at the corner of her lips.

She blinked, and didn't speak for a long time.

If there was no previous sentence of "asking for answers", she might not be able to match it, but when she put it together, her memory would be clearer.

"I've only seen Fu Guogong once, right in the sedan hall, I didn't even see him clearly, but I did hear him speak," Lin Yunjing held Lin Yunyan's hand, closed her eyes and recalled again, "It's very similar, it's very similar to that voice."

She was seventy percent sure, but at the same time she was more puzzled.

When she had a marriage contract with Su Ke, they had no contact with the Sincerity Bo Mansion and the Fuguo Mansion.

Where did she go and why did she hear that voice?

And the voice was still preventing her from marrying Su Ke.

It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense at all.

Of course, Lin Yunjing is more worried about Lin Yunyan.

"I don't know him," she said, "and I don't know ......why."

Lin Yunyan smiled: "I know, don't worry."

What's the reason, it's just that I've traveled too many roads and gone through too many repetitions, and I've buried a fragment in this process.

I don't know where it came from, I don't know the details, but it has also been deepened, and before they know it, they are under the bluestone slab floor tiles that are old and I don't know how many times they have walked over and over again, so that when they step on it again, they will not be splashed wet by mud and water.

Gave them enough luck.

It is also this luck that allows Lin Yunyan to insist on believing what Xu Jian said and can get through.

The quilt was too warm.

Those who have not slept all night have finally come to sleepiness.

Lin Yunyan wanted to hold on a little longer, so she pursed her lips hard, and there was a wound on her lower lip that she bit open, and she couldn't help but gasp in pain.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yun

Jing asked.

"It's fine."

Fingertips poked out of the quilt and pressed it on his lips.

Gently and gently, Lin Yunyan couldn't help but think of the kiss not long ago, a restrained, gentle, and blood-smelling kiss.

She thought of Xu Jian's "giving up", of the years he had walked alone, and of his fear and persistence......

What a grasshopper on a rope.

What kind of good grasshopper is she?

She didn't even know that only Xu Jian was jumping.

The tip of her tongue crossed her lower lip, she could clearly recall his breathing and temperature, and she could hear her own heart beating through the ground.

"Eldest sister," Lin Yunyan smiled, closed her eyes, and said softly, "There are still ten days left, and I really want to marry him."

Lin Yunjing laughed.

"That's good," she said, "that's good."

When the sky showed the white of the fish's belly, Lin Yunyan finally fell asleep.

Lin Yunjing didn't get up, so she accompanied her.

In the Fuguo Mansion, Xu Jian changed into court clothes and prepared to go to the court.

Doctor Yue packed up the medicine box and muttered, "I don't know what I can do, if it weren't for the old man's plaster, I would be able to stand up straight at this time." Relying on the youth to hold on, take care of the injured leg, I can't stand a few tosses."

Xu Jian listened to it funny.

He knew the severity, and he also knew that Dr. Yue was capable.

"Don't worry," he said, "there's no next toss."

He dared to climb the wall of the Sincerity Bofu again, and the little county lord was not so easy to speak.

Besides, there are still ten days left, and the person is married, so there is no need for him to turn it over.

Still, tonight's conversation was more or less unexpected for him.

Xu Jian knew that Lin Yunyan was keen and intelligent, and sooner or later she would string out a result of those things, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.

In that situation, it's useless to hide it, so you can only say it all.

He actually doesn't care about himself, as far as he is concerned, it is all things that have happened and the past, and he doesn't want Lin Yunyan to think about it too much.

The little county lord has a soft heart, and he doesn't know when he will be able to sleep soundly this night.

It's almost dawn.

The lanterns that had been lit overnight under the porch were much darker.

Cheng Xi walked through the corridor, pushed the door in, and saw the master arranging the sleeves and neckline in the mirror.

"Yesterday afternoon, Fu Guogong and the little son of the Xia family had tea and wine, and they were sent to the outside of Enrongbo's Mansion at the third watch, and then," Cheng Xi quietly looked up, and lowered his eyes again, "Fuguo Gong climbed over the wall and entered the Chengyi Uncle's Mansion, and stayed for almost an hour before leaving."

Jin Guiren turned his head, and his gaze swept over Cheng Xi: "Over the wall? Xu Jian?"
