However, the rain god Niangniang, she still felt that she couldn't bear it, but the people of the demon clan had already become a habit, and the persuasion was fruitless, so she had no choice but to accept it!

Big hands cover small hands, fingertips jump happily on the strings, pleasant piano sounds flutter in the wind, laughter lingers in the ears, Xiao Ruoyu is playing on the street, Ji Nuan feels so satisfied, so happy!

When it was nearly dusk, Xiao Ruoyu walked back listlessly with the colored ball, her well-carved little face was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and her eyebrows and eyes were tired and unhappy.

Song Wangchen was about to put away Yaoqin, and when he saw that Xiao Bu was a little unhappy, he stopped his movements and hurriedly squatted in front of her, "What's wrong, is there any injury?" asked while looking through her little hands to see if they were scratched, and then rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs to check if she had fallen.

Ji Nuan saw that Xiao Ruoyu was not injured and did not answer, and made an aggrieved appearance, judging from countless experiences in the past, it must be a trouble, she tore Song Wangchen away, and asked with a cold face: "Are you in trouble again, did you hit other children, where is he, is he seriously injured?"

"Shi Niang," the immature children's voice was filled with a thick cry, Xiao Ruoyu abandoned the color ball, and the two lotus arms hugged Shi Niang's thighs, and the little head kept shaking and denying it, but he didn't want to say anything.

Ji Nuan was puzzled in her heart, this little clever ghost has always been happy to find the master when she gets into trouble, and she will only look for herself when she takes a bath and sleeps, she is so abnormal today, is she being bullied?

But in the demon clan, no one has ever bullied her, Ji Nuan thought about it, and didn't figure out what kind of trouble she was making now, she squatted down, stroked the tears rolling down the little girl's face, and said softly: "Okay, don't pretend, say it quickly! I promise not to smoke you." ”

Xiao Ruoyu was still shaking her head and denying it, her little body leaned forward, and she grabbed Shi Niang's neck, and the silent tears suddenly turned into wow wow crying, crying while saying: "Shi Niang, Brother Xiaohu They said that Master and you are not Ruoyu's father and mother, and they also said that Ruoyu is a child without a father, you go and tell them that you are Ruoyu's father and mother, you say it, they will definitely believe it." ”

The smile on Ji Nuan's face faded instantly, and when he raised his eyes to look at Song Wangchen, he saw that he was also staring at him blankly, completely at a loss.

The long-buried sorrow was like a rusty blunt knife, mercilessly cutting through the hearts of the two of them, pulling the flesh little by little, but always connected to the veins.

In the past five years, the two of them have taken care of Xiao Ruoyu in all aspects, whether it is love, care or material things, as long as other children can have, Xiao Ruoyu is not lacking, but all of this is never as precious as the love of parents.

In the past, the two of them thought that Ruoyu was still young and ignorant, and they didn't ask who their parents were, so they didn't mention it, but they didn't expect that in her heart, the two of them turned out to be her father and aunt, how can this be explained?

Ji Nuan didn't answer, but stroked the back of the little girl, and after her crying gradually weakened, she slowly pushed her away, took her a pair of tender white hands, forcibly suppressed the sadness in her heart, and said: "Your little tiger brother, they are not wrong, the master is the master, and the master is just the master, not Ruoyu's father and aunt." But Ruoyu is definitely not a child without a father, you look at this concentric knot, Ruoyu has an exact one there. ”

She picked up the concentric knot hanging from Xiao Ruoyu's waist and put it in the palm of her hand, and gently rubbed her fingertips on the jade jade bead in the concentric knot, and then raised her hand to touch the red maple mark on Xiao Ruoyu's forehead, and then said: "This mark is left by Ruoyu's father and mother together, and it is their deep love for our little Ruoyu, so Ruoyu not only has a father, but they also love you very much!"

Xiao Ruoyu immediately wiped away her tears and asked her if it was true? Seeing that the master nodded, she asked again: "Where is Ruoyu's father and aunt, why don't they live with us, is it because Ruoyu is not well-behaved?"

The tears hidden in Ji Nuan's eyes almost fell out of anger, and after adjusting his emotions sideways, he faced Xiao Ruoyu, scratched her cute little nose, and deliberately changed the topic, "Do you still know that you are not well-behaved? If you are not obedient again, Master and Master will not want you." ”

"Master deceives people, Master won't want me, if you don't want me, I'll let Master don't want you. She pouted and hugged her arms coldly, the tears in her eyes hadn't dried yet, and she rolled her eyes at Shi Niang again, and she had already forgotten all about the question just now.

Song Wangchen picked her up, kissed her lightly on the little cheek, and then echoed with a smile: "Don't worry! Master will never want Xiao Ruoyu, she is sweating so much, you must be hungry, what do you want to eat, Master will make it for you!"

As soon as Xiao Bu heard that there was something to eat, she immediately smiled and replied: "Meat, a lot of meat!" She opened her two little hands and circled around, gesturing that she could eat a lot of meat, and then wrapped her neck around the master's neck, squeezed her eyebrows at the master and said provocatively: "Master, the master is bad, don't give her food!"

"Okay!" Song Wangchen deserved it very simply, without the slightest hesitation, but he was not happy anymore, and pouted and regretted: "Senior Lady will not grow tall if she doesn't eat meat, otherwise, let's give her some food, right?"

"Shi Niang is already very tall, and besides, you have to eat more sparse vegetables to grow taller, and Xiao Ruoyu also has to eat more vegetables to grow taller. He smiled, hugged the little one and walked home.

Xiao Ruoyu yawned while casually saying "Don't!" As soon as the words fell, she fell asleep on the master's shoulder again.

Song Wangchen looked back, glanced at the lady holding Yaoqin in one hand and the bow ball in the other, and smiled at her, this matter can be regarded as barely fooled.

The child's troubles are like this, they come and go quickly, but the simple words of question have always lingered in his ears and lingered.

In the past two days, Ji Nuan has been worrying about how Xiao Ruoyu should deal with her parents if she asks her parents again.

Now that all the problems of the Demon Domain have been solved, she actually has no need to stay, after several discussions with Song Wangchen, she finally decided to leave the Demon Clan and take Xiao Ruoyu back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to meet her parents and grandfather, after all, there are some things she will know sooner or later, and it is not a way to hide it from her.

On the day of departure, the people of the demon clan came to see him off, and even the demon lord came, everyone was reluctantly waving goodbye, and at the same time looking forward to the early return of his family.

Xiao Ruoyu's little playmates cried and begged to keep her, but Xiao Ruoyu was not sad at all, but said goodbye to them with a smile.

Shi Niang said that she would take her to see Daddy and Auntie, and Shi Niang also said that she would take her to many places that were more lively and fun than the Demon Domain, Xiao Ruoyu couldn't wait to leave, how could she be unhappy.

But the little girl was still very affectionate, and before leaving, she left her favorite colored bow ball to the little playmates, and told them that she would be back soon.

With the trip from the Demon Domain to Qinzhou, it only takes about half a month to catch the carriage slowly, but this is the first time that Xiao Ruoyu has left the Demon Domain since he can remember, and he is curious about everything he sees, and everything is fresh, so it has been two months since his family returned to Qinzhou.

After Ji Nuan and Song Wangchen tidied up the wooden house, they rested for two more days before taking Xiao Ruoyu to Mingyang Mountain.

Walking under the maple tree that covered the sky and the sun, watching Xianggong walking in front of him with a bouncing little girl, Ji Nuan's mood became heavier and heavier. She has always been reluctant to admit the fact, but at this moment she has to take Xiao Ruoyu to face it, she doesn't even know if Xiao Ruoyu will cry non-stop after knowing that her parents have long since died, and whether she will lose the innocence of a child because of this.

As soon as Xiao Ruoyu heard the sound of the water, she shook off her master's big hand, like a canary that had just come out of the cage, and ran forward with a smile, so happy that she couldn't stop. Less than three feet tall, the little short legs ran like two wheels, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When the two of them caught up, the little one was already crouching by the stream, holding the water and splashing it into the air, and the water sprinkled into the stream from the air, as if it were raining, and there were ripples of stars.

Xiao Ruoyu looked back and shouted in a loud voice: "Master, Master, look, if it rains, it will also resist water, and in the future, Brother Xiaohu will also call me the rain god Niangniang." ”

In order to prove that what she said was true, she held the water again and splashed it in the air towards the master and the master, but because she was too small, she splashed all of it on the teacher's dress. Her big watery eyes were round, her hands were folded to cover her small mouth, and she looked innocent when she had made a mistake and was caught.

Ji Nuan didn't care what Xiao Ruoyu said, her wandering eyes had already drifted to the other side of the stream, on the tomb under the tall maple tree, she bypassed Xiao Ruoyu and stepped on the stone steps in the stream.

The little little girl who was still smiling just now was also a little unhappy because the master ignored herself, and when she raised her little head to look at the master, she realized that the master didn't seem to be happy, she held the master's big hand tightly with a pair of small hands, and asked weakly, "Master, is the master angry with Ruoyu?"

Song Wangchen moved his gaze back from the tomb to Xiao Ruoyu, and after bending down to pick her up, he replied: "Shi Niang is not angry, but she may not be very happy, so Xiao Ruoyu should be obedient for a while, don't make Shi Niang sad!"

Xiao Ruoyu nodded as if she didn't understand, her two little hands were restlessly raised, learning from the master's movements, she pinched the master's cheek, and said with a smile: "The master said, the master has to laugh to look good!"

Song Wangchen really had no way to take her, and after barely pulling out a smile, he followed the footsteps of the lady, stopped in front of the tomb with her, and looked at the two lines of big characters engraved on the tombstone (the tomb of the beloved daughter Yu Man, the tomb of the beloved son-in-law Jiang Yu) and fell into deep thought.

Yu Man didn't want the owner of Yu Island to taste the pain of the white-haired people sending the black-haired people, and thought that she could hide it from everyone by cutting her hair, but she couldn't hide it from anyone after all, this tomb was built by the Lord of Yu Island, and he still endured the pain of losing his daughter after all.

Ji Nuan smiled abruptly: "Yu Man, Jiang Yu, me and Wangchen brought Ruoyu back to see you, we were in too much of a hurry, we didn't bring anything, and we even forgot to prepare wine, I'm really sorry!" She turned sideways and took Xiao Ruoyu from Song Wangchen's arms and put it on the ground, stroked her bun, and said in a low voice: "Ruoyu, this is the tomb of your father and aunt, they died five years ago, come and kowtow to them!"

Xiao Ruoyu looked up at the master, and when he nodded, he straightened his little body in a proper manner, knelt straight on the ground, folded his hands, and when he bowed, his forehead fell on the back of his hand, and he kowtowed three times in a row before standing up.

The master taught her a lot of things, some simple calligraphy, painting and poetry, as well as yaoqin and etiquette, she knew a little bit, but she was greedy for fun on weekdays and didn't want to learn, but the master was not happy, she wanted to make the master happy, so she finished the bow in a decent manner.

But in fact, Xiao Ruoyu didn't know anything about the definition of death, she didn't understand what Shi Niang said, she just asked curiously, "Shi Niang, why is Ruoyu's Daddy and Aunt a stone plaque that can't speak, are they shy and hiding?"

In just one sentence, what is revealed is the most innocent and pure thoughts of children, and it is also the fuse that made Ji Nuan's tears completely out of control. It was she who was wrong, she shouldn't have instilled the definition of death in a five-year-old child, so she squatted in front of Ruoyu again, and said with a smile: "Because you are different from other children, you are the only little Ruoyu in this world, so Ruoyu's father and aunt are also unique, they will always watch you in the sky, love you and protect you, understand?"

She was obviously a smiling face, but the tears in her eyes couldn't stop falling, Xiao Ruoyu reached out to wipe away the tears on Shi Niang's face, and asked with a bitter little face: "Shi Niang, why are you crying?"

"Shi Niang didn't cry, but the sand got into her eyes, it's okay!" Ji Nuan wiped the tears from her face and shrugged her shoulders relaxed.

"I'll blow it for you!" The soft and cute children's voice conveys infinite love, Xiao Ruoyu is like a little adult, two little hands support the eyelids of the teacher, and when she comes forward, she wants to blow the sand for the teacher, and asks "Master, does it still hurt?"

Ji Nuan grabbed her little hand and shook her head and chuckled, but the tears in her eyes couldn't be stopped at all, she was grieving for the death of Yu Man and Jiang Yu, but what made her feel extremely distressed was Xiao Ruoyu. She became a fatherless and motherless orphan just after the full moon, and when she was naughty, she was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, and no one could stop it, but at this moment, she was as sensible as a little adult, and she had learned to feel sorry for people.

Xiao Ruoyu saw that Shi Niang was still crying, and instinctively thought that Shi Niang was still uncomfortable, so her little body leaned forward again, and blew into Shi Niang's eyes, "Shi Niang, I'll blow it on you again!"

Song Wangchen stroked the lady's shoulder, although she didn't say a word, but it gave her great courage, she hugged Xiao Ruoyu, sucked the sour nose, wiped her tears, and then smiled: "For your sake, I won't care about the matter of pouring water on me just now, otherwise I would have beaten your palm." ”

"Shi Niang is so fierce, I don't want you anymore, hum!" Xiao Ruoyu was displeased, but her little hands were stirring Shi Niang's earrings, and she couldn't be idle for a moment.

Because of Ruoyu, a little clever ghost, the depressing atmosphere has gradually eased a lot.

Soon after, Xiao Ruoyu rode on the master's shoulder to pick maple leaves, pinched a large handful of maple leaves in his hand but was not satisfied, and the other hand also grabbed the maple leaves on the branches and pulled hard, asking the master why the maple leaves here are green, and Song Wangchen was very patient to explain to her the changes in the color of the maple leaves in each season.

Xianggong and Xiao Ruoyu were laughing beside him, Ji Nuan was not as sad as before, but stood in front of the tomb, complained about some small things that Xiao Ruoyu was naughty and unruly, and laughed and blamed him for leaving a little trouble for himself.

A burst of footsteps suddenly sounded in his ears, and Ji Nuan looked back, and saw Yu Yuanyang, who was dressed in a blue robe and had white snow, with a little girl about ten years old, standing not far in front of the stream. The years are like a ruthless knife, leaving deep marks on his face, obviously just past the age of confusion, but as if he has reached the age of antiquity, he is as weak and vicissitudes as he is in his prime.

Yu Yuanyang's weather-beaten old eyes stared at Xiao Ruoyu in a daze, tears intertwined in them, and even the big skinny hands trembled with too much excitement.

Since the day Xiao Ruoyu left Changyu, Yu Yuanyang inquired about Yu Man's whereabouts, and after a long time, he learned that Man'er had buried himself in Mingyang Mountain.

After he built a tomb for Man'er and Jiang Yu, he adopted another girl and gave her the name Manfeng.

This is a poem that Man'er said when he named Xiao Ruoyu, Manfeng's name is the same as Ruoyu, and it also comes from this, which is Yu Yuanyang's deep love for Man'er and Xiao Ruoyu.

Ji Nuan hugged Xiao Ruoyu from Song Wangchen's shoulder, whispered a few words to her, the little girl nodded like pounding garlic, and after abandoning the maple leaf in her hand, she opened her arms and ran in the direction of Yu Yuanyang, a pleasant laugh like a silver bell fluttered in the wind, she grabbed his big hand and called "Grandpa!"

The simple two words, like a clear mountain spring, poured into Yu Yuanyang's long-dried heart, he squatted down, stroked Xiao Ruoyu's palm, nodded and smiled with satisfaction, so excited that he burst into tears, and even forgot how to talk to Ruoyu.

"Grandpa, why are you crying, is it the sand that gets into your eyes? As she spoke, she approached her grandfather and wanted to blow sand for him.

Yu Yuanyang shook his head and nodded, looking at her extremely serious small movements, moved and sad were intertwined in his heart, and the tears that could barely be restrained were mercilessly gushing out at this moment.

Xiao Ruoyu hugged her grandfather's neck tightly as she comforted her mother before, grabbed his white hair with her little hand, and said with a smile: "My mother said that Xiao Ruoyu is unique, so Xiao Ruoyu's father and mother are also different from Xiaohu's brother and their father, and now even my grandfather is different from others, my grandfather's hair is white, which is the purest color!"

The long tail note shows the most innocent side of the child, Yu Yuanyang wiped away the tears on his face, and then got up with Xiao Ruoyu in his arms, gently pulled her earlobe, and asked with a smile: "Where has Xiao Ruoyu gone all these years, and who is Brother Xiaohu?"

Xiao Ruoyu told her grandfather that she and her master and mother had been living in the Demon Domain, and that Brother Xiaohu was her little playmate, she was like a chatter, breaking her little fingers and telling the names of all her playmates, and even told her about leaving the ball with her little playmate when she left, and then asked mysteriously: "Grandpa, have you ever seen the colored ball?"

After grandpa shook his head, she stuck out her tongue mischievously and said, "Grandpa is so stupid, the colored ball is a bow ball wrapped with colored ribbons!"

"Yes, it turns out that Ruoyu likes to juju, so can grandpa buy you another one?"

"Okay, then I want to be colorful, and I'm going to play with my sister." Xiao Ruoyu looked at Manfeng and smiled very happily, but Manfeng withdrew his gaze from her, and even turned his back to look at her.

Only then did Yu Yuanyang turn around and look at Manfeng, and explained to Song Wangchen and Ji Nuan, who came forward: "Her name is Manfeng, and she is an orphan left behind by the great disaster of Changyu. Man Feng is very well-behaved, and his cultivation is also very diligent and hardworking, but he doesn't like to talk much, maybe he has experienced too much suffering since he was a child!"

He shook his head and sighed, but the little man in his arms asked with an ignorant expression: "Grandpa, what is an orphan?"
