After leaving the caravan, Kai spread his arms like a bird and felt the breeze blow, as if he were about to fly. He took a deep breath to calm his excitement. By the time he opened his eyes, his expression had regained his composure. As usual, he entered the city and went to the Kufu.

At this time, Madame had already gone out, and Qi stood outside the door, waiting meticulously and quietly, waiting for Madame's return like a stone man. He watched the tired birds return to the forest, the sunset Tang Valley, and the carriage of the bitter ginger clan slowly arrived. When Ku Jiang got out of the carriage, he looked at Qi and reproached the people around him and said, "Qi wants to see me, why don't you come to tell me?" ”

"Madam, I'm here too."

Qi respectfully stood behind the Ku Jiang clan, followed the Ku Jiang clan into the mansion, and when he entered the mansion, the Ku Jiang clan asked, "Qi have you asked me for something?" ”

"Madam, Qi is going to marry a girl."

Qi knelt on the ground and said respectfully to the bitter Jiang clan.

Ku Jiang smiled and said: "This is a good thing, you should also get married, I don't know which girl it is?" ”

"Mrs. Qiyu, she is a slave."

"Oh, it must be the merchant of the Black Tooth Country who brought that named Bai Lan, we also talked about it today, it is said that redemption requires a blinding leaf, Qi, you are here today for this."

"Please also ask Madame to fulfill it."

Ku Jiang looked at Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and thought of Qi's loyalty to him, so he said to the maid: "You go and ask the housekeeper to bring the obstacle leaves in the warehouse." Kai, after you get married, you must love your wife well, and you must not insult her at will because she is a slave. ”

"Madame's kindness is as deep as the sea, and it is difficult for Qi to repay Madame even if she is broken."

When Ku Jiang heard Qi's crying, he was greatly moved in his heart, it was really hard to find such a good servant.

Soon the maid took the obscuring leaf over, and Qi respectfully took the box. After listening to the teachings of the Kujiang clan, he left the Kufu. Walking down the street, he wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, regained his calm again, and the gratitude on his face disappeared without a trace.

The next day, he went to the merchant of the Black Tooth Country as promised, and took out the palm-sized obscuring leaf. When the Blacktooth Merchant put the blindfold in front of his eyes, he disappeared in front of Kai. The Blacktooth merchant was overwhelmed with emotion, made a contract, and then let Bai Lan and Fang come here together.

Bai Lan looked at Qi in surprise, not expecting that this civilian would really be able to take out a blinding leaf. With Fang's support, she followed behind Qi, and when she entered the city gate, she was keenly aware that the guards saluted Qi slightly. She stared at Qi's back and secretly guessed, "He shouldn't be a civilian, but why is he hiding his identity from me?" ”

Qi took Bai Lan to the civilian street, and the children around him instantly surrounded him and cheered.

"Kai, your room is ready, I bought you a new bed early in the morning."

"Kai, the rouge gouache you told me to buy has also been bought."

"Kai, the piano and the incense burner are also ready."

……

Under the guidance of the child, Kai took Bai Lan to a decent room, on the left side of the house was placed a couch, on which a rare embroidered tent was hung, and in the center of the room was a small incense burner, in which incense had been lit. Qi asked Bai Lan to stay here, and then took Fang to Song San's place.

Song San was overjoyed when he saw Fang, he even said good brother, and took Fang home.

When he invited Qi to his house, Qi smiled and refused, and the two showed a smile that only a man understands, and then separated.

When he returned home, he sat down on the floor and said to Bai Lan: "Miss Bai Lan, if there is anything missing, you can tell them, and they will help you buy it." ”

"Your Excellency, you're not an ordinary person, are you?"

"I said, I'm just an ordinary civilian, and please don't call me an adult, I only have five shells left this month, you will use it."

Qi said and put Wubei on the desk, and then said to Bai Lan: "Miss Bai Lan, for your safety, it is better for you to move less, I will go back to the City Lord's Mansion on an errand." ”

Qi said and left here, he filled Bai Lan with doubts, this person redeemed himself, didn't he want to possess himself?

She thought of the greedy eyes of those men before, and smiled bitterly, even if this man wanted to possess herself, what else could she do? She finally didn't want to do anything in her heart, but she could only acquiesce.

To her surprise, although Kai came back every day, he just listened to her play that tune, and then left in a hurry.

In the past half a month, the two have spoken no more than twenty words. In the past half a month, she also learned about Qi's deeds from the children around her, and she was even more puzzled in her heart.

On the twentieth day of coming here, Bai Lan saw the first outsider, an old man with gray hair and almost no teeth falling out, and the old man introduced: "Old man Shijia, I heard that the girl is exquisite in the piano, and I have come to listen, I hope the girl can play a song for the sake of enlightenment." ”

Bai Lan nodded, and played one of her own songs for the old man. She still remembered that day when she was playing this song in the wild, the lovely man sat quietly on the dragon horse and listened, his eyes were so sincere, and his gestures showed grace.

That night, he chatted about the stars in the sky, what Qinglongsu, what Liu Kangjin, and what Yingfu she didn't remember, only remembered his jade-like face, and his budding girl's heart, the summer wind blowing, making the girl's heart fly.

After the end of the song, Shi Jia still reminisced in the beautiful music, and said after a long time: "The old man is really old, in the past, the sound of the flute in this Taoze City was better, and after you arrived, it seems that now it is your piano sound that is the best." ”

Bai Lan looked at Shi Jia in disbelief, she once asked Qi why she wanted to listen to herself play the piano, Qi just told her that she didn't understand music, but she was comfortable listening to the sound of the piano, so she was allowed to play, and the children around her also said that they had never seen Qi play any instrument.

"You mean, Qi will blow the flute, and he has a high attainment."

"Yes, I remember that winter five years ago, he was a disciple of the school, and I didn't want to take him as an apprentice. But he knelt in the snow for three days, and it was so cold that I felt cold even when I was roasting on the fire, let alone kneeling outside the door. I was so touched by his sincerity that when he took him as an apprentice, he didn't even know the instrument, let alone music theory, and he chose the flute, which I was not familiar with, but I taught it to him with all my heart. His qualifications are not high, it took ten days to understand the method of ventilation, and I don't have much hope for him, I didn't expect that three years later, when he played again, I was already inferior to him. ”

Bai Lan had mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't see through the slightest bit of Qi. After sending Shi Jia away, she played a song in a distraught, and before the song was over, Qi came back, still sitting on the ground, listening quietly.
