"There is a hard-working girl, these times the danger of Xiuyuan is the rescue of the unswerving girl, Xiuyuan really feels that I don't know how to thank you. ”

Busung's cheeks were crimson, looking at Xiu Yuan flattered, she shook her head stiffly, "I just want you to be safe." ”

"Thank you, my life was saved by you, and Xiuyuan's kindness to the unswerving girl is in my heart. Bu Shi didn't speak, his eyes drifted to the entrance of the cave, and a touch of orange light from the morning came out of the mountain stream, Xiu Yuan noticed that Bu Shao's expression was unnatural, and changed the topic, "It's already morning." ”

Unswerving nodded, "Yes, after the heavy rain, the sky is clear again. The sun soon jumped up from the mountain stream, and the mountains and forests became greener after the rain, and the sunlight shone into the cave and hit the unswerving face, and the snow-white and crystalline skin shone with the colorful light of gems in the sun.

"I am also fortunate to be able to see the morning sun this morning, the valley full of life," Xiu Yuan couldn't help but smile, looking at the unswerving, the unswerving side face was indescribably beautiful in the sun, the smile on Xiu Yuan's face stopped because of the unswerving beauty, and he himself didn't realize that he was looking at the unswerving and forgot to look away.

Bu Yuan's cheeks turned even redder when she was looked at by Xiu Yuan, she turned her head and diverted the topic, "Xiu Yuan, this woman is very likely to have something to do with your family, and the Maolian she screamed in her mouth should be your uncle, Li Maolian, who disappeared twenty years ago." ”

Xiu Yuan didn't have the surprised expression he imagined, he nodded, "I also just learned from my father, I have an uncle named Li Maolian, who disappeared twenty years ago. ”

"Do you know where he's gone?" asked Forever.

Xiu Yuan shook his head, "My father never mentioned this matter, and I don't know, the woman kept saying that she had waited for me for twenty years, and kept asking me why she was responsible for her, I think she did have something to do with my uncle's disappearance." ”

The two of them fell silent, and Xiu Yuan suddenly seemed to think of something, "Let's go find someone, I think only he knows what happened to our family twenty years ago." ”

Unswerving looked at Xiu Yuan with his eyes sheared, and Xiu Yuan smiled at her, "Let's go." ”

That smile made Unswerving's heart tremble, and she nodded and followed Xiu Yuan out of the cave and back to the town.

Unswerving and Xiu Yuan appeared on the street, and there were frequent people looking sideways, Xiu Yuan looked at Unswerving, dressed in white, with long hair scattered, and her face and refined temperament didn't look like a mortal woman.

The sideways glance of the pedestrian made Xiu Yuan turn her head to look at Unsuck, and Unsung also noticed the abnormality, and she whispered next to Xiu Yuan, "Wait for me." Then a sideways figure flashed into a nearby alley.

Xiu Yuan didn't have time to react, and after a while, Yu jumped out of the alley dressed in a blue cloth man's dress, and the high bun completely exposed the delicate face that was usually hidden under the black hair, and the graceful curved jaw to the neck was even more fascinating against the background of the snow-white complexion.

Xiu Yuan couldn't help but smile, "You look like a young man, it's clear whose young lady is naughty and dressed as a man." ”

Unswerving blinked cutely, "So what, is it a little like this?" The index finger slid over his lips, and two funny mustaches immediately popped up where he swiped it.

"This child looks more like a naughty boy," Xiu Yuan looked at her with a smile and a smile, this fox demon who has lived for hundreds of years really has the same mind as a teenage woman, maybe she is simple and ignorant of the world, maybe she lives in the world and rarely lives in the world, Xiu Yuan thought, this is okay, since the demon is an animal, there will always be animal characteristics on the body, that is, it has a simple and simple heart.

Unswerving smiled and blew the two whiskers on her mouth, she was very satisfied with her dress, her apricot eyes bent up because of laughter, Unsuck really wanted to laugh, from the bottom of her heart, because this was the first time she walked on the street with Xiu Yuan, just like seeing Xiu Yuan and Mo Chou on weekdays, walking so close.

The two of them returned to Li's house like this, "We're home." ”

Looking at the Li family from the main entrance, the two red doors opened dignifiedly, "Who are you talking about in the know?"

"Steward Li," Xiu Yuan pursed his lips, "Father said that Steward Li's father was my family's housekeeper when my grandfather was still there, and Steward Li grew up with my father, I believe he must know what happened to the Li family twenty years ago." ”

Unswerving nodded, feeling that Xiu Yuan made sense.

"I'll ask him what happened, and you can wait for me in my room first. ”

"But I want to go with you. Unswerving paused and looked at Xiu Yuan.

"Yes, I'm afraid that Steward Li won't tell the truth when he sees outsiders. ”

"It's simple, I'll change it, change it into an object, and you can just take me with you. ”

Xiu Yuan nodded, turned around and turned into a Luo Pa, slowly falling, Xiu Yuan didn't have time to react, as soon as he stretched out his hand to catch this Luo Pa, the soft silk exuded a fragrance, Xiu Yuan carefully put it into his arms and walked towards Steward Li's room.

Xiu Yuan came to Steward Li's room and knocked on the door, "Steward Li, are you there? I'm Xiu Yuan." ”

It happened that Steward Li was there, opened the door, and saw Xiu Yuan outside the door, "It's the young master, why are you here?"

"Excuse me to rest," Xiu Yuan walked in directly.

Steward Li waved his hand again and again, pulled out a chair and beckoned Xiu Yuan to sit down, "The young master said this, I just came back from the kitchen, and I ordered the noon meal to be prepared, do you have anything to do with me?"

Xiu Yuan nodded and sat down, Steward Li has a very high status in the Li family, has his own independent room, and the facilities of the house are not like those of the next people, the furniture in the house is of high quality, and his father treats Steward Li very well.

"You have been in the Li family for so many years and you have watched me grow up, just like half of my father. "Xiu Yuan has a lot of respect for Steward Li on weekdays, and Steward Li is also quite close to Xiu Yuan, although it is not strange for Xiu Yuan to visit like this today, but he suddenly spoke like this, so that Steward Li guessed a rough idea.

Steward Li smiled and stroked the gray mustache on his chin, "The young master has something to ask me." ”

Xiu Yuan scratched his head embarrassedly, "Let you see it, then I won't go around the corner, I want to ask you something, and I hope you and I will tell the truth." ”

Steward Li saw Xiu Yuan's serious expression, and felt very much like laughing, he watched Xiu Yuan grow up and never married in his life, and he had already regarded Xiu Yuan as his own child, although he knew that he should not be in the Li family for decades, and in private, these etiquette Mao Chun never paid attention to him. "Ask, I can tell you everything. ”

Xiu Yuan rolled his eyes and walked in front of Steward Li, "You have to talk and don't lie to me." ”

"Absolutely not lying to you. Steward Li smiled, his eyes narrowed into a line.

Xiu Yuan took a serious breath, as if he was ready, "I want to know about my uncle Li Maolian." ”

When it was the rainy season, there were thunderstorms in Yongning Town, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, when Xiu Yuan said Maolian's name, there was a thunder in the sky, and the clear sky was suddenly gone, and this loud noise made Steward Li's smile freeze on his face.

"Where did you hear that?"

Xiu Yuan looked at Steward Li seriously again, "Just tell me, you promised me." ”

Steward Li sighed, "You didn't say that we all had to forget him, of course, it may not really be forgotten, but buried in our hearts." ”

"Why? Did he make any mistakes? How did he leave the Li family?"

"Your uncle Maolian is a few years younger than your father, it is your grandfather who is old, he likes this little son very much, but your uncle is handsome and smart, when he was in the school, Mr. said to your grandfather, this child has a bright future and must be cultivated well, your grandfather does have high hopes for your uncle in his heart," Steward Li paused, picked up the water on the table and took a sip, moistened his throat and continued, " By the time your uncle was eighteen or nineteen years old, he was already very famous in the town, and his talents and appearances were very outstanding, and your grandfather always wanted him to take the township examination to gain fame, but at that time your uncle was contaminated with some bad habits, and your grandfather knew about it, and he was very angry. ”

"What bad habits?" Xiu Yuan's curiosity was completely hooked by Steward Li.

"Linger in the land of fireworks. Steward Li swallowed his saliva, the Li family's style has always been quaint, so he naturally sees this kind of thing as a corrupt style.

Xiu Yuan's eyes widened, "And then?"

Steward Li sighed, "At the beginning, your grandfather knew that he was punished for kneeling in front of the ancestral archway for three days and three nights, and your uncle knelt down for a serious illness. ”

Xiu Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Does my uncle only go to one place at a time?"

Steward Li nodded, "At that time, there was a very famous prostitute in the town, named Luo Lingxiao, in the best brothel in the town, Yanyulou, your uncle and her were very good and later made a fuss about marrying her, of course your grandfather couldn't allow it, so he locked up your uncle and didn't let the two meet." ”

"What happened later?" Steward Li wanted to speak and stopped, Xiu Yuan suddenly remembered the poem, the light spirit stone steps were invaded by the sunset, and the clouds and cliffs were windy and moon-walking. This poem really hides Luo Lingxiao's name, the deep and profound words on the stone bridge, the cultivation edge touches the cold stone, and the concave and convex handwriting still exists there after 20 years of wind and rain, even if the handwriting is blurred, it is difficult to erase the heart of the woman who was there at that time waiting infatuatedly.

Steward Li shook his head, "Young Master Xiuyuan, don't ask, there are many things that your father and I swear to your grandfather not to say, I can't lie to you, but don't embarrass me anymore, I really have a hard time." ”

Xiu Yuan looked at Steward Li's vicissitudes of face, deep wrinkles on his forehead, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were carved by the years, he confirmed the past of the Li family, the history of the Li family, they hid those past secrets, but they couldn't say it, Xiu Yuan felt that he really couldn't force it, he nodded, and held Steward Li's old hand, "Thank you." ”

Xiu Yuan stood up, "You have a good rest, I won't tell my father about today's incident, it's hard for you, Xiu Yuan is here to apologize to you." He bent down and saluted.

The moment he was about to go out, he suddenly turned around, "Steward Li." ”

Steward Li sat there and didn't move, and Xiu Yuan's call made him raise his head.

"Do I look like my uncle?"

Steward Li's eyes flashed with an indescribable look at that moment, he hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "It's exactly the same as when he was young." ”

Xiu Yuan smiled, a wisp of green silk hung down in his ears, and his thin lips hooked, "I understand." ”

The infatuated woman must have thought of herself as her uncle Maolian.

"Young Master Xiuyuan," Steward Li stopped him at the moment when Xiuyuan walked out.

Xiu Yuan turned around, and Steward Li's expression was a little ethereal as if he had made a lot of determination, "You wait for me." ”

He slowly moved under the cabinet, opened the bottom drawer, and took out a cloth bag, which was tightly wrapped in many layers.

Steward Li brought it to Xiu Yuan, "This is your uncle's thing, he gave it to me when he left, I don't know why he gave me this, maybe he thinks I'm the only person he can trust in the end." ”

Xiu Yuan took the burden, "Have you opened it and seen it?"

"Yes," Steward Li nodded, "so I think it's better to keep this thing hidden in my cabinet all the time, you can take it, I know you will continue to inquire about your uncle, you are an unwilling child." ”

Xiu Yuan nodded, "Steward Li, thank you." ”

Steward Li shook his head, turned around, closed the door, and slowed down the whole person's pace, Xiu Yuan waited for him to close the door before leaving.
