didn't follow Meng Congyi closer, but just bowed to a few people from afar, and said to Meng Congyi, "My brother and I are still going to Ludong City, so we won't be with Miss Meng." ”

Meng Congyi said "ah", "It's better to stay for one night before leaving." ”

Zhao Ning took half a step back, and Qin Keyuan said, "Miss Meng, take your leave." ”

In Qin Keyuan's slightly tough refusal, Meng Congyi was stunned, didn't dare to say more, and waved his hand towards Zhao Ning, "Goodbye!" ”

Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan boarded the carriage, and the horses turned around and went away from the fork in the town.

The third prince and a few young men also walked up.

Xuanyi said politely, "Why did you leave like this?" ”

Another person also said, "But some of them don't give us face." ”

Another person answered, "Look ordinary, it's not a character, let's go." ”

The third prince glanced in the direction where the carriage was leaving, as if he was snooping on something, but he didn't find the answer he wanted, so he didn't pay attention to it.

pinched Meng Congyi's little face again, lowered his head and smiled, "Friends, it's not bad for those one or two." ”

The carriage traveled a long distance, and there was an unexpected silence in the carriage, Qin Keyuan used a branch as a trick to block his eyes, and pinched a groom outside the carriage, and he also entered the carriage.

He sighed lightly and called, "Zhao Ning, what do you want?" ”

Zhao Ning looked up at him, with mixed feelings in his heart, "Uncle Shi knows." ”

She paused and didn't hide it, "Uncle Shi traveled to Wuming back then, and passed by and saw two children who were sacrificed, one was Meng Congyi, and the other was ...... It's condensation, isn't it? ”

"Hmm."

Qin Keyuan said, "Although I don't save that strange child who was favored by the 'Black Dragon', I can't help but save another ordinary child. The child was quiet from an early age, did not cry or make a fuss, and lay down in a wooden basin and went east with the water. I took the child in my arms, went ashore in the lower reaches of the Qingmo River, and saw a fisherman's family and his wife kind, so I entrusted the child to them, and there is a crooked neck tree at the door of their house, do you still have an impression? ”

Zhao Ning pursed her lips tightly, and looked at Qin Keyuan with her eyes unblinking, as if as long as her eyes didn't move, tears wouldn't fall, but her slightly reddened eyes still betrayed her.

In the early winter of that year, the Qingmo River was about to freeze, and the fishermen and his wife sat under the crooked neck tree to mend the fishing nets, hoping that there would be a good harvest before the ice froze, enough for them to survive this winter.

There was a man in a long robe standing on the boat, tall, cold, and independent, but unexpectedly he was still holding a swaddling baby in his arms.

As soon as the fisherman and his wife gave birth to a child, and their eyes were full of children, the woman ran to the river and shouted, "Son, the wind is cold on the river, you can't carry the child like this, you will get sick." ”

The man on the boat lowered his eyes to the sleeping baby in swaddling clothes, then to the couple on the shore, and the next moment appeared on the shore.

The fisherman couple was shocked, and then they knew that they had met an immortal.

Hurriedly knelt down to worship, but the invisible force held them up.

They listened to the immortals, "Qin has a reluctant request, and wants to ask the two of them to take care of this child for a few years." ”

The fisherman and his wife nodded instantly, and the woman said, "My child is also not long born, so we can grow up together." ”

"That's very good." Qin Keyuan handed over the child to a woman, and the child woke up when he just entered the woman's arms, but he didn't cry, just watched with wide eyes, and his two little hands somehow squeezed out of the swaddling clothes, grabbing Qin Keyuan's fingers.

The woman coaxed the child, and when she looked at such a well-behaved appearance, her heart melted.

The fisherman also liked it, so he asked Qin Keyuan softly, "I don't know what the name of this child is?" ”

"'Thirty-six days to return to the road is stable, and the flowers are condensed on the wine (1)', then call Zhao Ning."

Qin Keyuan knew that Xiao Zhaoning had an immortal fate at that time, but he was about to go to the ancient battlefield to build a foundation and cultivate as a battlefield, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, even if he was sure that he could retreat with his whole body, but he couldn't take Xiao Zhaoning with him, so he handed it over to ordinary and kind people to take care of, but he didn't want to enter the ancient battlefield for more than ten years.

When Qin Keyuan returned to the ordinary world, the fisherman couple knelt in front of Qin Keyuan and said in pain, Xiao Zhaoning was taken away by traffickers when he was four years old, and they couldn't find it back.

They knew that they had not taken good care of their children, and they were entrusted by the immortals, and they were willing to make amends with death, and they only begged Qin Keyuan to spare their own children.

Qin Keyuan didn't dispose of them, he disappeared directly in front of them, he remembered a trace of the child's soul mark, it should be still alive.

After searching for several months in Nanjing, in the early winter of that year, Qin Keyuan met Zhao Ning in the view of the Qingxiao Sect's agent.

The little baby who grabbed his hand turned into a delicate little girl, as quiet as she was back then, but in fact her heart was full of guards and spikes.

After Qin Keyuan saw Zhao Ning after the reunion, he knew at first glance that if he recognized each other directly, it would make the little girl even more alienated and guarded.

So, he chose to start everything from scratch and go with the flow.

A tear slipped from her eye socket uncontrollably, and Qin Keyuan sighed lightly and stretched out his hand, trying to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes like last time.

But Zhao Ning threw himself into his arms along his arm at this time.

Qin Keyuan was slightly stunned, stretched out his hand to wrap around her, and almost felt the wetness in his chest, Qin Keyuan patted her back very lightly.

"It's me late."

"Uncle Shi will take Zhao Ning with him in the future, don't entrust Zhao Ning to others, okay?" Zhao Ning raised his head from his arms, a tear still hanging on his cheek, "Practice, discuss the Tao, experience; marrying wives, bearing children, and taking disciples; Conscience, danger, preaching; Zhao Ning will never become a burden to his uncle. ”

Qin Keyuan's hand that wanted to wipe away her tears froze slightly in the air, and after a while, he helplessly continued his unfinished movements.

Tears trickled down the fingertips, a little cool.

Zhao Ning looked up at him and called again, "Uncle Shi." ”

Qin Keyuan responded, "Okay." ”

But he said, "Do you want to go back and see?" ”

Zhao Ning knew that Qin Keyuan was referring to the two places of life and nourishment in Qingmo River.

She nodded, cut the fan, why not be afraid of the past.

A few days later, a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the entrance of Jiangfeng Village.

Looking in from the entrance of the village, you can feel the liveliness of the village, the crowd is happy, and there are more than a dozen tables of flowing water seats in the open space of the village, and the big red word "happiness" is pasted on the table.

Zhao Ning glanced at it, "It seems to be someone's wedding banquet." ”

Look along the red silk tie in the village, you can see the end of the wedding banquet, the long red silk wrapped into a big red flower cluster around the crooked neck tree, even the ground in the courtyard from the courtyard gate to the main house are covered with a layer of festive red paper.

There are also four tables of wine banquets on both sides, which are prepared for relatives.

The wedding feast has not yet begun, and the sedan chair has not been carried out of the village and has not yet been carried back.

Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan hid their figures and stood in the shadow of the wedding banquet.

Seeing that the people in the courtyard were all dressed in festive and auspicious clothes, they were busy coming and going, but Zhao Ning still caught the figure of the host and wife of the wedding banquet.

The two of them looked to be more than half a hundred years old, their hair was gray, and their faces had a lot of wrinkles, but in fact, they were not even in the year of knowing their destiny.

The rare joy made them smile more than ever.

Zhao Ning's eyes followed them all the time, watching them entertain the guests who came to congratulate them, watching them arrange for their relatives to sit down, and watching them stand at the gate of the courtyard in anticipation.

Qin Keyuan asked her, "Do you have an impression of them?" ”

Zhao Ning still shook his head.

After two hours, there was a sound of joy and joy outside the town, and the whole village was blocked to the entrance of the village, but I saw a simple-looking man with a red flower on his chest, leading a sedan chair to the entrance of the village.

The children in the village poked their brains into the sedan chair, wanting to see the appearance of the fresh lady, and the adults blocked the village gate to ask for some joy.

The sound of joy stopped at the door at the time of the small half-pillar of incense.

The fishermen and their wives rushed out of the courtyard and squeezed to the entrance of the village, pushing the crowd away, and finally separating a road for the sedan chair to pass.

Until the bride and groom bowed three times and were sent into the cave with everyone's blessings, the fishermen and their wives wept with joy outside.

The woman wiped her tears from her eyes, "If that child is here, he must be married." ”

The fisherman also said, "That child will definitely live well with the blessing of the immortals, and she will be happier than our family." ”

Listening to the couple's feelings that they are still a little worried, as well as the joy of this room, Zhao Ning seems to have broken a shackle in his heart.

Until the wedding feast lasted until night, sending off relatives, friends, neighbors and guests, and the couple entered their own house.

As soon as the fisherman was about to close the door, he saw a figure in the courtyard in his peripheral vision, and he looked up in amazement to see an immortal whom he had not seen for several years.

"Qin ...... Immortal...... Immortal Master. ”

There was excitement and trepidation in his words, and the woman seemed to hear the voice, and trotted to the door.

In an instant, the woman grabbed her husband's arm.

They didn't know what to say, even if Qin Keyuan wanted to kill them now, they had no regrets.

But I didn't want to think that at this time, a figure came out from behind Qin Keyuan, clear and delicate, clear and clear, and immortal.

Zhao Ning looked at them, and they also looked at Zhao Ning in shock and trembling.

Until the woman cautiously called, "Beckon...... Condensation? ”

Zhao Ning smiled and crossed his hands, "Zhao Ning came to see you, thank you for raising you back then." ”

The woman no longer supported the fisherman, walked out in a few steps, her rough hands clasped Zhao Ning's shoulders, looked Zhao Ning up and down, tears flashed in her eyes, she stretched out her right hand to touch Zhao Ning's cheek, but she trembled and did not dare to approach, Zhao Ning leaned over slightly, and her cheek was on the woman's right hand.

The woman burst into tears, "Yes, yes, it's the child." ”

The fisherman stepped out, not as strong as the woman's, but somewhat overshadowed his emotions.

"Condensation."

Zhao Ning straightened up and smiled at the fisherman.

The fisherman said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The woman choked up, "When the summer solstice entered the river and went to the net, I put you and Wen'er under the tree to play, who wants Wen'er to play and chase the crickets, so I left you alone under the tree, and when we came back, you were gone, the aunt next door said that it was the fake merchant who came to buy fish to take it away, and their men took a few people to chase, but we waited until it was dark, only to see the men come back, and still didn't see you." ”

The fisherman continued, "We went to the government to report the case the next day, and the official told us that the fake merchant was a habitual offender of child abduction and trafficking in Nanjun, and often secretly took the child and sent it to the nearby town of Nanjing City to sell. Later, we rushed to Nanjing City, and happened to meet the new Fu Yin, Fu Yin Renshan, who caught the traffickers who were about to escape again, but found seven or eight girls from their den, but they didn't see you. We really had no choice but to go back to Nanjun. ”

At that time, Zhao Ning fled halfway, Zhao Ning couldn't remember, only the rickety waterway and the bottom of the car full of dust and fog, and the direction that had been going north.

At this moment, Zhao Ning doesn't have much feeling about the past.

"The adoptive father and adoptive mother can do such a thing for Zhao Ning, and Zhao Ning is already very grateful."

She looked at the two of them, who were already old, "When I came back today, it coincided with Brother Wen's wedding banquet, and there was a small gift here to express the meaning of congratulatory congratulations." ”

As soon as the left hand turned over, there was a jade box, and there were two pill bottles in the jade box, "One bottle of pills in the bottle can prolong life, and one bottle can relieve all kinds of diseases and pain, please accept it." ”

Zhao Ning put the jade box on the ground, and the woman took it tremblingly, "This...... This ceremony...... We are ashamed that we have not fulfilled our parenting responsibilities. ”

"Don't say these words to the adoptive mother, the grace of nurturing, ten thousand graces a day, Zhao Ning will remember it in my heart."

"Mother." But at this moment, the bridegroom came out of the house, and saw two strange men and women standing in the courtyard, and he stood there in astonishment.

"Why did you come out, on the wedding night, how could you let Mei Niang be alone in the room." The woman ran a few steps and rebuked the bridegroom.

The groom said, "Mei Niang is hungry, I want to get her something to eat." He looked at the two again, "Mother, who are these two?" ”
