Brother You rode back on an ox cart and didn't take Ah Niu with him, Ah Niu seemed to live here.

"Sir. Ling Miao looked at the female young lake, and called Ze Huo softly, Ze Huo had been silently following behind him, and when he heard Ling Miao calling him, he said "um" softly.

"Can you do me another favor one last time?" It seemed that she had been begging Ze Huo for help, the first time they met, she asked him to confess for her brother, and later asked him to take her to see Ling Xiao, and he never refused.

Ling Miao remembered something, and suddenly turned around to look at Ze Huo's body, before she could faintly see the wound wrapped in gauze, but now it is gone, Ling Miao touched Ze Huo's chest, as if the wounds were gone, so the wounds that looked very serious before were just fake.

Ze Huo let Ling Miao touch herself, her face was a little embarrassed, and she coughed twice: "Help... Ahem, help with this?"

Ling Miao reacted, Ze Huo's clothes were almost ripped off by her, her face suddenly turned slightly red, and she became embarrassed, and hurriedly looked away to change the topic: "I... I mean, when I die, Mr. Trouble will bury me at the bottom of the lake. ”

"Does this have anything to do with my clothes?" Zehuo asked, pretending to be confused.

Ling Miao's face turned even redder and said, "It's nothing." He turned around and ran towards the bamboo house, leaving Ze Huo standing in the pavilion by himself, Ze Huo touched his chest, and the corners of his mouth curled.

The bamboo house has three floors, Ling Miao walked directly to the second floor, there are two rooms on the second floor, and there are words engraved on the door of the room, the one on the left is engraved with "wind", the one on the right is engraved with "Xiao", and the one on the right should be her brother's, but who is this wind on the left?

Ling Miao pushed it curiously and didn't push it away, and then walked to the third floor, there was a place for people to rest on the third floor, and there was a swing next to it, and there was a bird cage hanging next to the swing frame, and in the cage was Ling Miao's favorite lark, which was chirping.

Ling Miao rarely showed the smile that a girl should have, walked over and teased the lark, and then walked to the only room on the third floor, sure enough, there was a word "wonderful" engraved on the door, Ling Miao stared at the word, did not push the door open for a long time, and finally turned around and went down to the second floor.

The door engraved with the word "wind" was hidden, Ling Miao walked over curiously, it was still closed just now, and it opened after a while, indicating that there were people inside.

The door was pushed open, and sure enough, I saw Ah Niu sitting on the ground with his back against the corner of the bed, and faintly heard sobbing.

Ling Miao gently closed the door, walked over and sat quietly next to him, the room was very large, the furniture was complete and clean, Ah Niu should live in this room.

The sky was a little dark, Ling Miao had been squatting aside without speaking, Ah Niu had been sobbing until now, slowly stopping, sobbing intermittently.

Ah Niu looked at Ling Miao with tears on her face, Ling Miao closed her eyes, but Ah Niu knew that she was not asleep.

"You... You're the second person to see me cry. Ah Niu said with a slow sob.

Ling Miao closed her eyes and replied, "Let me guess, is the first one my brother?"

Ah Niu nodded, Ling Miao closed her eyes and didn't see it, but she could feel the young man around her move.

"Can I know how you met my brother?" Ling Miao still had her eyes closed.

After waiting for a long time, Ah Niu began to whisper: "Although my mother is the original match, but my father has not been liked, once my father was drunk and accidentally had me, I am the youngest son in the family and the most unfavored, my mother died because of her age, gave birth to me." ”

Ah Niu's life experience aroused Ling Miao's pity, Ling Miao opened her eyes and looked at Ah Niu's side face, Ah Niu had stopped sobbing, although he looked only twelve or thirteen years old, but the handsomeness presented on the side face was destined to grow up to be an extraordinary person.

"My stepmother hated me very much, and I used all kinds of means to kill me since I was a child, but Daddy, that is, Yuli, he has always protected me until the year when Ling Xiao fought against the enemy, my father died of illness, and the stepmother's son took charge of the family, and the stepmother began to blatantly chase and kill me, and in desperation, Yuli fled here with me. Ah Niu swallowed his saliva, and his expression was very flat when he said these things, not like the look of a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.

"My brother fought the enemy four years ago, and you were no more than eight or nine years old at that time. "More than surprised, Ling Miao is distressed, distressed by the child in front of him who has survived from hell.

"Nine years old. Ah Niu said affirmatively.

"At that time, I was besieged by the enemy, Yuli and Aunt Hua and I accidentally ran to the territory of those thieves, Ling Xiao had a chance to solve the trap, but in order to save us, he was voluntarily captured. ”

Ling Miao remembered that in the middle of that year, it was said that Ling Xiao did not know the height of the sky, and he dared to take over the Shuai Yin to pacify the frontier at the age of fourteen, and the battle report said that everyone was watching the Ling family's jokes when Ling Xiao was arrested, and she was about to turn twelve years old at that time, and no one came to the birthday banquet except He Gongzi.

Ah Niu's voice sounded again: "Later, the enemy wanted to take us hostage, and to Ling Xiao we were just strangers, but he found an opportunity to take the enemy's generals hostage in front of hundreds of people and saved us, and then brought us here to hide." ”

Ling Miao was a little drowsy, her energy had been getting worse and worse recently, and she often suddenly became sleepy, Ah Niu noticed it, turned to look at Ling Miao and asked, "Are you poisoned?"

Ling Miao nodded in bad spirits, and then looked at Ah Niu with some confusion, wanting to ask how he saw it?

Ah Niu saw Ling Miao's doubts, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a trace of mockery: "I grew up eating poison." ”

Yes, his stepmother will not let go of the slightest opportunity to kill him, and it is a miracle that he can grow up.

"I... Can I know how he died?" asked Ah Niu at last.

Ling Miao barely lifted her spirits, and did not answer Ah Niu's question, but changed the question: "There is a wind word engraved on the door, aren't you called Ah Niu?"

Ah Niu's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't answer, both of them were silent for a long time, and when Ah Niu wanted to explain, he looked back at Ling Miao, who had already squatted on the ground and fell asleep.

Ling Miao slept in Ah Niu's room until noon the next day, and was woken up by the sound of talking outside, and there was a basin of water next to the bed, which should have been put by Ah Niu, and she opened the door after tidying up herself a little.

Although Ling Miao said yesterday that she would leave immediately, Big Brother You still brought a few people from the town to move all the furniture.

Brother You saw that Ling Miao was awake, put down the furniture in his hand and walked over: "Benefactor is awake?

Ling Miao shook her head: "Brother You just calls me Ling Miao." A benefactor shouted, but in fact, it was Ling Xiao who gave grace and not her.

"Didn't I tell you you didn't have to move here?" She will leave with Zehui today, and in the future... Maybe not later.

Brother You smiled and said, "It was Cousin Ling who asked us to move." ”

"Who?"

"Cousin Ling Zeling. Brother You shouted too smoothly, so that Ling Miao didn't react, and it was Ze Hui who said.

Ling Miao didn't say anything more, Brother You continued to go back and move one after another, Ling Miao looked around and didn't see Ze Huo and Ah Niu, so she walked to the first floor and saw them in the kitchen, Ah Niu was stir-frying, Ze Huo was sitting in front of the stove with a frown.

Seeing that Ling Miao seemed to see a rescuer, he hurriedly stood up and walked towards Ling Miao: "You slept well this night, this kid is very torturous, you can go and get it done." ”

Poof~ I didn't expect that Ze Hui, who is usually calm and composed, would not be able to handle a teenager, Ling Miao was pranked, and she turned around and was about to go outside, but Ze Huo instantly grabbed her hand, as if she knew that she would run away.

"This kid said he was going to make you a good meal at the last moment of your life, and you just left? Ze Huo said, last night Ah Niu pestered him to ask about Ling Xiao's death and Ling Miao's poisoning, he told Ah Niu what he saw, and then Ah Niu said with an excited face that he wanted to make a delicious meal to send Ling Miao on his last journey.

Ling Miao turned to look at Ah Niu, who was busy, and seemed to be quite good at cooking.

"What did you tell him?" Ling Miao asked.

Ze Huo shook the sleeve of his coat stained with black charcoal: "I have said everything I know." ”

"Speaking of which, I still have a question. "After getting along in the past few days, the two have spoken more and more naturally, and they really look like cousins and cousins.

Ling Miao retracted her gaze and looked at Ze Huo, motioning for Ze Huo to ask.

"Your poison... Who ordered it?" When the little Ah Niu asked him last night, he looked confused, he really didn't seem to have asked Ling Miao who gave this poison.

Ling Miao looked at the busy Ah Niu again, lifted the skirt and was about to walk over, Ze Huo thought that Ling Miao would not answer, and then heard Ling Miao say indifferently: "Probably the eldest prince and the second prince, or, the emperor who is high." ”

It doesn't matter who it is, she didn't think about revenge, she only blamed herself for being born in a dynasty where fate was not up to her, if her brother was still there, she still had the idea of fighting, and now that her life is short, it doesn't make much sense to think so much.

Ah Niu's busy figure stiffened visibly when he heard Ling Miao's words, and then returned to normal.

"I'll help you, I'm better at making fires than he is. Ling Miao said.

Zehuo smiled helplessly, turned around and walked out, waiting for the finished product.

After a while, Ah Niu put a bowl of black things on the table, Ze Huo looked at the things on the table for two seconds, if he hadn't tasted the food of the human world, he would really think that the black things in front of him were delicious food to taste two bites.

When the last bowl of slightly less black cabbage was served by Ling Miao, Ze Huo was no longer sitting at the table.

"What about people?" Ling Miao looked at the empty place, Brother You and they didn't seem to be there, only Ah Niu and her were left, Ah Niu sat on the stool and looked at the dishes in front of him.

This can't be blamed on him, Ah Niu looked up at Ling Miao, Ling Miao's hair was still a little smoking, this person who said that he was good at making fires almost blew up the kitchen.

Ling Miao wiped the sweat on her face in embarrassment, and said, "Yes... You can still eat and watch the wine, haha. ”

Ah Niu got up and left, and Ling Miao sat alone on a stool with chopsticks and picked up the dishes in the bowl to see if there was anything else to eat.

After a while, Ah Niu came over with two large jars of wine, put them on the table and said, "Ling Xiao hid, said that you like to drink, and the wine cellar behind is full of them." ”

Ling Miao thought that Ah Niu was gone, but she didn't expect that she really went to get the wine, so she took a piece of cabbage in her mouth, opened the wine jar and poured wine into the bowl, which was her favorite fruit wine.

She likes to drink very much, but the amount of alcohol has not been very good, and she began to get confused after a few big bowls, and said nonsense: "Immortals? hehe~ I'm not me, so who am I?"

Ah Niu saw that Ling Miao had already started to talk nonsense, so he carefully covered the wine and carried it back to the wine cellar.

Ling Miao woke up again after this drunkenness was dusk, Ze Huo walked back from outside leisurely, Ling Miao sat on the swing on the third floor, looking at Ze Huo's appearance was obviously full of meals, Ah Niu said that he followed Brother You to eat in the Prancing Horse City.

Ze Huo flashed directly in front of Ling Miao, Ling Miao was no longer surprised or surprised, but said lightly: "Let's go." ”

It's time to see, there are no regrets, this is indeed the place she wants to live, if she is not about to die, she will probably always live here.

Ze Huo didn't say anything, nodded slightly, and was about to go to Yunling Mountain with Ling Miao, Ling Miao pulled his hand to stop him: "Wait for me first, there is something I forgot." ”

I saw Ling Miao take out the letter taken out of Ling Xiao's arms from his arms, walked to the second floor and inserted the letter on Ah Niu's door.

"It hasn't been opened yet, don't you read it?" Ze Huo asked Ling Miao, although the letter was not signed, it was written to Ling Miao nine times out of ten, except for her Ling Xiao, there should be no one who couldn't let go, why Ling Miao didn't read it but gave it to Ah Niu, he didn't understand.

Ling Miao just shook her head and didn't explain too much, Ze Huo didn't understand but as Ling Xiao's younger sister, when she first saw this letter, she might have just guessed, but when she got here, after knowing Ah Niu, she understood.

Ling Xiao thought that she was gone, so she wouldn't write any more letters, and besides, there was no need to say anything between their brothers and sisters, and when they came here, they heard Ah Niu talk about his life experience, so this unsigned letter must have been given to him, and he didn't sign it because he was afraid of suspicion.

If she didn't guess wrong, the content of the letter would never mention who it was addressed to, after all, he didn't know if it would go to Ah Niu's hands, and the person who wanted to gamble his luck to check the corpse knew who it was for, but they were just one step ahead of that person.

Ah Niu came back from herding the cattle and didn't see Ling Miao, and when he saw the envelope on the door, he knew that Ling Miao had left, so he put down the wooden stick and took the letter from the door.

After tearing the envelope outside, there was an envelope inside, Ah Niu's eyes changed after seeing the envelope inside, and then he quickly took out the letter paper inside, the letter paper has two pages, and it is densely filled with words, all of which are some unimportant household words, but these household words are different for A Niu, this is the way he writes letters between him and Ling Xiao, because he is afraid that someone will misread it, so he uses some skills to integrate the information into some household words, as long as you read the letter according to a certain rule, you can know the content of the letter.
