The carriage shuttled through the lively streets, Ling Miao pushed the window to look at the noise outside, and finally a slight smile finally appeared on her face that had been silent for the past few days.

Ze Huo sat in the front, the side plug that could only be reached in two or three months, but it took three days to arrive, although these people spoke a language that Ling Miao couldn't understand, but they could feel how carefree they were, away from the hustle and bustle. This kind of life is indeed the life she and Ling Xiao have been looking forward to.

She had never been to Biansai, she remembered that Ling Xiao once came to Biansai to do business, and specially begged her to come to Biansai with him, saying how good the scenery here was and how enthusiastic the people were, but she just didn't come.

It's not that Ling Miao doesn't want to come, she has traveled everywhere, walked a lot, seen a lot of scenery and seen all kinds of people, but Biansai is the only place she doesn't dare to come, because Ling Xiao said it was too beautiful, she was afraid, afraid that if she came, she didn't want to go back to the place surrounded by high-rise buildings.

But she had never told Ling Xiao about this, she knew that she couldn't help herself in Zhongjing City, and she also knew the responsibilities she had to bear as the only son of General Ling, Ling Xiao had too many things to take care of, and she couldn't add trouble to him.

Walking through the noisy streets, they came to a farmhouse where a dark-skinned woman stood, and when she saw them, she was visibly alert, and asked through the fence, "Who are you?"

Ling Miao hadn't been to Biansai and naturally didn't know anyone here, but since Ling Xiao asked her to come here, it meant that Ling Xiao must have known her, so Ling Miao asked, "Do you know Ling Xiao?"

The woman did not let her guard down, but just observed Ling Miao and said, "Who in the Tiansheng Dynasty does not know General Ling? Who are you? What is your relationship with General Ling. ”

Then a young man with the same dark skin came out of the back room, came out with a large knife, and called the woman into the back room.

The hostility of the prime of life was very deep, Ze Huo remembered what Ling Xiao had asked him to say before, but at that time he didn't want to come over to Biansai, and he couldn't remember the code words anymore, but he vaguely remembered what Ling Miao brought about it.

There was a stalemate for a while, Ling Miao was also a little helpless, guessing that it might be someone Ling Xiao had saved, thinking that others would remember to take her in, but seeing this situation, people didn't remember it at all, Ling Miao's eyes darkened, and she turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute. The prime man stopped Ling Miao.

Ling Miao looked back at the prime of life suspiciously, and the prime of life's eyes wandered between Ze Huo and Ling Miao, and then he hesitated and asked, "Do you want me to take someone to Nushao Lake?"

Ling Miao had a question mark on her head, but Ze Hui next to her suddenly realized with a look on her face: "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered, it was the trouble for Brother You to take Ling Miao to Nushao Lake." ”

Brother You, who was holding the big knife, put the knife aside, stepped forward and opened the fence, and a silly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Quick, come in." ”

"Old flower woman, pick-up, benefactor. Brother You shouted loudly, and politely took the two of them into the house.

The sand and dust in the side plug were very large, and the weather was not very good, Ling Miao's face was pale, and she was a little vain when she walked, so she walked into the house for a short time, and there was a lot of sweat on her head.

There was nothing special in the house, it was just an ordinary farmhouse, the two of them were sitting at a small table, and the old flower woman who had just been called into the room by Brother You came over with a pot of tea.

"Hua Pozi has offended her benefactor and made amends to her benefactor. While talking, he poured tea, Ze Huo loved to drink tea, and he could see at a glance that the tea in Hua Pozi's hand was exactly the same as the one in General Ling's mansion.

Ze Huo could see it, of course Ling Miao also found it at a glance, holding the tea and drinking it while observing the things in the room, this closer look found that there were many things in this room that were given to Ling Xiao by the palace.

Ling Miao's attention was attracted by a bow placed on the wall, she remembered that the bow was given to her brother by the second prince, Ling Xiao was happy for a long time, and then she never saw it again, Ling Miao also wondered why her brother liked it so much why he didn't see it and use it, it turned out that he came here.

Big Brother You saw Ling Miao staring at the bow in a daze, and said on the side, "That was sent by the general last year. Then he pointed to the glass dresser in one of the rooms inside: "It was sent last month, and I wonder why it didn't come this month, it turns out that you are coming." ”

Ling Miao glanced at the glass dresser, which she had seen in a store last month, and at that time, a Miss Liu family also took a fancy to it, and the two fought for a long time, and then Miss Liu called a group of people to move away directly, for which Ling Miao also sulked for a long time, but she didn't know why she appeared here.

Listening to what Brother You meant, her brother would ask someone to send things over every month, Ling Miao didn't understand, even if she wanted to help them, there was no need to send these, wouldn't it be better to give money directly?

"Let's go, I'll take you to Nushao Lake. Brother You said.

Nushao Lake, the name of this lake is very special, isn't the two words connected to be a "wonderful" word?

Ling Miao was already weak, and she had been trying her best to digest the fact that Ling Xiao was dead for the past three days, and when she saw these things with her brother's memories again, she couldn't help it in an instant.

Ze Huo gently helped Ling Miao up, and the two followed Brother You out again, Brother You brought an ox cart and said to the two: "That road is not easy to walk, let's take this over." ”

Ling Miao nodded, and supported Ze Huo's hand to get into the ox cart, and then Ze Huo also followed into the ox cart.

The ox cart was very slow, and they walked through a shallow water road through the back door of the farmhouse, and then walked for about half an hour, and passed through a cliff pass, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a few big cows in the distance, and then they saw a lake, which should be the Nushao Lake, which was not too big, but the water was blue and very deep.

There is a gazebo on the lake, which stretches all the way to a bamboo house by the lake, and the first feeling of entering from the harsh environment outside is like entering a paradise.

Even though Ze Huo has seen a lot of strange scenery, he also feels that his eyes are bright.

"Benefactor, benefactor?" Brother You kept walking with them until he walked to the pavilion before turning back and calling Ling Miao, only to find that Ling Miao's face was full of tears.

When Brother You was on the road, he found that Ling Miao's expression was too sad, and he guessed a result in his heart and didn't dare to ask, but now that he has come here, and then sees the tears on Ling Miao's face, it doesn't make much sense to ask or not, General Ling must have had an accident.

"These are... Is it all my brother's fault?" Ling Miao asked with tears in her eyes.

Brother You nodded and replied: "In the war that year, the general led the enemy here, thinking that he would die, but he accidentally discovered this place when he was in danger, and took advantage of the narrow terrain at the mouth of the cliff to wait for reinforcements for four hours, and then the general sent someone to repair it." ”

With a poof, Ling Miao spit out a mouthful of blood into the lake, Ze Huo reached out to give her some breath, Ling Miao raised her hand and refused, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.

Brother You also frowned worriedly, and then said: "The general said that his Miao'er must like it here, so he has to send something over almost every month after he goes back, and it has not been broken until now. ”

"But today is the last day of this month, seeing the benefactor's reaction, is there something wrong with the general? Are you still alive?" asked Brother You cautiously.

Although it has been three days since Ling Xiao's death, it will be too far away to receive the news from Biansai, and they will arrive at Biansai in three days, and they obviously don't know the reaction of Brother You.

Ling Miao just looked at the lake and didn't answer Big Brother You's question, Big Brother You looked at Ze Huo again, and Ze Huo shook his head slightly, indicating that he was dead.

Brother You's pupils were shocked for a moment, and then he held the railing behind him with his right hand, not knowing how to react for a while.

"The name of the lake?" Zehuo asked softly.

Brother You clenched his fists, tried his best to hold back his sad emotions, and explained: "The name of the lake was taken by the general, he always put Miao'er on his lips, and even the name of the lake was named after her, we always joked about the general in private, saying that the general is an infatuated lover, and the general's wife is blessed." ”

It seems that Brother You doesn't know who Miao'er is in Ling Xiao's mouth, Ling Miao stabilized her mind and smiled at Brother You: "Hello Brother You, my name is Ling Miao." ”

Brother You knew that the woman in front of him was Miao'er in the general's mouth, and he also knew that her name was Ling Miao, but every time the general talked about it, he had a happy face, so they naturally felt that it was the general's wife.

"I'm his sister, my own sister. Ling Miao explained.

Brother You nodded ashamedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know that the general had a sister, and I thought it was ......"

Ling Miao shook her head and said that she didn't blame him, in order to protect her, Ling Xiao really never talked about her to outsiders, except for the people in Zhongjing City, if someone hadn't deliberately inquired, probably no one would have known that Ling Xiao had a sister.

"Daddy~Daddy~" A little boy ran from the place where the cattle were grazing in the distance, and ran into Brother You's arms and hugged Brother You.

Brother You touched the young man's head: "Didn't you say don't call me like that, this is the general's sister Miao'er." He bit the word Miao'er a little hard, as if to tell the young man that Miao'er was Ling Xiao's sister.

I saw that the young man instantly looked up at Ling Miao and said in surprise, "Sister?"

The young man's complexion is not as dark as Brother You's, on the contrary, it is very white, compared to Ling Miao's miserable white, at least the white is red.

The young man observed Ling Miao carefully, and then turned his eyes to look at Ze Huo, his eyes were arrogant, and he had a faint aristocratic temperament.

"Daddy, who is he?" the young man asked Brother You, but his eyes were looking at Zehuo, and his eyes were very guarded.

Ze Huo felt ridiculous, a little kid, I don't know where the arrogance came from, I still felt a little strange in my heart, they are just ordinary people, why are they so wary of strangers, is the folk customs like this? But from the people in the market, it doesn't look like it, I can't help but be a little curious.

Brother You didn't know who Ze Huo was, he shook his head and looked at Ze Huo, Ze Huo was about to speak, Ling Miao stopped him: "He is my cousin, his name is Ling Ze." ”

Only then did the young man let down his guard, pulled Brother You to talk, and chatted about what he usually eats alone, etc., it seems that the two do not live together.

Ze Huo looked at Ling Miao with interest, why didn't he know when he changed his name?

Ling Miao also looked back at Ze Huo, with a warning in her eyes, she was afraid of hearing Ze Huo say anything about him from ancient times, she didn't want to be regarded as a brain disease, Ze Huo seemed to see Ling Miao's thoughts, and smiled helplessly.

Even if Ling Miao didn't stop him, he wouldn't casually tell people about his identity, after all, he had only told Ling Miao his full name.

"Brother You, can I stay here for one night. Ling Miao asked, interrupting Big Brother You and the young man's chatter.

Brother You nodded heavily: "This is originally your place, of course, in a few days I will ask the brothers in the town to move those furniture and everything, because no one lives, so the big guy will move the things to his own house, and then move here when you come, so as not to eat ashes." ”

Probably Big Brother You thought she was going to stay here for a long time, Ling Miao shook her head: "Don't bother, you can use those furniture yourself, I'll stay for one night and leave." ”

"Let's go, this was originally the residence that the general was going to give you to live in the future, but now that the general is gone, where else can you go?" Brother You's voice was a little loud, and he seemed to be a little angry.

Without waiting for Ling Miao to explain, the young man next to him jumped up, his face flushed, looked at Ling Miao and then looked back at Brother You: "What does it mean to go? Where did he go? He said that he would come to teach me how to ride a horse and shoot arrows." ”

Brother You didn't speak, as if he didn't know how to explain to the young man in front of him, Ling Miao saw that the two were deadlocked, and felt that the two in front of him did not look like father and son, obviously Brother You had some respect for the young man, how could a father respect his son.

"Daddy, why don't you speak, I'm asking you, where has Ling Xiao gone?" the young man asked.

"He's dead. It was Ling Miao who spoke, and no one knew better than her that Ling Xiao was dead, on her sixteenth birthday.

The young man turned his head to look at Ling Miao with a look of disbelief, and then looked back at Brother You's lonely expression, suddenly threw away the wooden stick in his hand to drive the cow, turned around and ran out.

"Little... Ah Niu!Ah Niu!" The young Ah Niu had already disappeared from their sight, and Big Brother You looked at the place where Ah Niu disappeared worriedly, and then explained to Ling Miao: "His temper is a little stubborn, please bear with the benefactor." ”

Ling Miao also looked at the place where Ah Niu disappeared thoughtfully, this young man seemed to have a good relationship with her brother, and her brother would not casually promise to teach people to ride horses and shoot arrows.
