It was already late at night when the two arrived in the capital, and the winter in the capital was much warmer and wetter than in the northern city, and the rain in winter mixed with fine snow and ice rustled on the dead leaves on the ground.

It was very late, and out of politeness, Xia Ko planned to take her sister to Yin's house tomorrow to recognize her relatives.

After the two booked a hotel to stay, Xia Xiao looked at the sleet falling outside the window, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Do you have the contact information of Old Man Yin?" ”

Xia Ko took a bite of the chocolate sandwich bread she had just bought downstairs and shook her head, "No." ”

“……”

"Then how are you going to go to Yin's house tomorrow?"

As far as Xia Xiao knows, if a big family like the Yin family visits the door without making an appointment in advance, there is a 99.9 percent chance that they will be closed.

Obviously, Xia Ko didn't understand this truth.

"Can't you just go there?"

"Of course not......"

She took a bite of bread and thought about the plot of the original book, "It's okay, I'll have a way tomorrow." ”

Seeing that her sister was so confident, Xia Xiao thought that she had already formulated a series of perfect plans, so she didn't ask any more.

Until, the two of them stood at the foot of a barren mountain in the suburbs.

Xia Xiao: "......"

"Mr. Yin has three sons and a daughter, and his sons are not in the country all the year round, but several grandchildren have been raised by Mr. Yin's side.

Therefore, we will suffer if we venture forward.

I have secretly investigated, and the old man has a habit of having afternoon tea in the garden at the back of the manor, as long as we can go around the perimeter of this mountain and reach the rear of the manor before one o'clock.

Let's have an unexpected encounter with the old man! At that time, he must be impressed by you, and we will talk about funding, and it will be much smoother! ”

Xia Ko drew a map and showed it to Xia Xiao.

Xia Xiao: "......"

These are all episodes that Xia Ko recalled from the original book, and she vaguely remembered that there was a trail specially reserved by the old man in this back mountain.

But what this road was used for, she couldn't remember a little.

"Are you sure this can pass?" She pointed to the snow ahead.

Fortunately, it was not summer, it was winter, and the leaves that blocked the view and direction of the trees were all gone, and the trees were bare, allowing the light to shine directly into the mountains, and the front was spacious.

"That's right, sister, believe me, let's go, otherwise it will be too late for a while~" She pulled her sister and went to the mountains and forests.

Although it looks like a small hill here, only a slight slope can be felt on the outer side of the mountain, and the two sisters walked smoothly all the way, walking steadily for nearly an hour.

The two got up early and went out in a hurry, not even eating breakfast.

Walking on an empty stomach for more than an hour on the mountain road, I was so tired that I gasped for breath into the snow, and the mist melted between the two.

Xia Xiao: "How long will it take?" ”

Xia Ko looked around, a vast white snowfield, and from the north direction, he could see a corner of the Yin family's manor, "Oh, it's there." ”

With a goal, the two of them rushed forward for another half an hour.

Because of his fast pace, Xia Ko stared straight in the direction of the manor, not paying attention to his feet.

One stumbled, almost having an intimate encounter with the snow.

"Ouch, I'll go!"

Fortunately, Xia Xiao's eyes quickly helped the person up, "Pay attention to the road." ”

"What tripped me?" Xia Ko looked back and saw a huge marble faintly under the snow, the texture was very delicate, and the gorgeous color reflected the snow light even more dazzling.

Xia Xiao followed her line of sight, brushed the snow on the marble with her hand, and the whole marble was completely exposed in front of her.

It's actually a tombstone.

"I didn't expect someone to be buried here." Xia Xiao paused.

Xia Ko also recovered from the pain at this time, and the moment she saw the tombstone, the forgotten plot suddenly began to attack her.

！

Is this ...... Could it be ......!

She pointed to the tombstone, and then pointed to Xia Xiao, and just wanted to say something, when she suddenly heard the sound of snow treading in front of her.

"Someone's coming!" Xia Xiao shouted vigilantly.

"No, I said this tombstone is ......" Before she could finish her words, she was pulled by her sister to hide behind the tombstone.

The footsteps in front of me were getting closer and closer, and the lightning was already in front of the tombstone.

The two hid on a small back slope behind the tombstone, and they were next to each other to barely be able to hide their bodies with the help of the back slope.

But......

The snow was slightly thin under their feet, and the two of them stepped on the slope on top of each other, their feet sliding down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The two sisters looked at each other, and Xia Xiao still covered Xia Ko's mouth, signaling her not to make a sound.

At this time, an old man's calm voice came from in front of the tombstone, "You go and sweep the snow in front of the young lady's tomb, and the flowers that were just airlifted this morning will also be paid to her." ”

"Yes, sir."

A few pairs of footsteps quickly approached the monument, so frightened that both of them held their breath.

Fortunately, they just did a simple snow ploughing job in front of the slope.

"The master has arranged it, it's windy in the mountains, let's go back quickly."

"No, you guys go first, I want to stay with Jiajia alone."

After a pause, I heard a simple response.

A few neat footsteps faded away, and there was a long silence in front of the tomb.

Xia Xiao felt that his feet were about to be unable to hold on, and he was sliding down little by little.

Xia Ko also barely maintained her stillness at this time in a posture of half-pouting butt and half-saddle step.

Both of them prayed in their hearts that the old man in front of them would leave quickly.

What I waited for was a long sigh.

"Jiajia, you said you are a ruthless girl, why don't you come to meet me in your dreams......

Do you still hold a grudge against me after all these years? ”

"I really regret it, I should not have stopped you from being with that poor boy today.

Even if I see that his character is not good early, but if you can continue to stay at home, I can always take care of you, but it won't be that if that kid bullies you, it won't be ......."

The old voice was choked with a trembling voice.

"It won't make you think about it so much......"

No, this old man talks a lot, her legs are numb!

Xia Ko gritted her teeth and tried to hold on to her body.

But Xia Xiao's feet were still sliding uncontrollably.

Finally.

"Brush the ......"

The sound of snow falling is especially striking in the calm mountains.

The old man, who was still immersed in talking to himself, was startled, "Who is there?!" ”

Oops!!

The footsteps of exploration were approaching, and Xia Xiao's heart was down, rather than both of them being arrested, it was better to go out and stand up to it first, so that one person could be left to continue to complete the task.

Without thinking about it, she walked out from behind the hill and smiled awkwardly, "That'...... Grandpa, I'm so sorry to ......."

"Ah!!!h

Before Xia Xiao finished apologizing, he heard the old man who was still weak just now suddenly shouted, as if he was several years younger all of a sudden.

Thank you, squid roll baby, and ing baby's monthly pass~
