Duan Ruran was originally the supervisor of the capital superintendent, and his family was well-off, and the Duan family was also one of the best families in Hejia Lane in the south of the city.

Since he met Xia Chengyi in Yanweitang on the first day of March, he bought a farmhouse nearby and lived with two servants.

From that day on, as if he had lost his soul, he went back and forth to the plank road on the embankment of the river all day long, and never went to the superintendent again.

"Such a stunning beauty is really rare in a hundred years. When Ru Ran saw each other, he had exhausted the luck of three lives. If we can meet again, it will punish me for ten lifetimes to fall into the path of beasts and evil ghosts, and I will not hesitate to do so..."

However, the end of the world is far away, and he doesn't know where the beauty is going, so Duan Ruran has to linger here day and night, looking for and looking left and right.

"Childe, I'm here to deliver food. A boy dressed in a green coat and a small hat caught up with him, panting and saying to Duan Ruran.

In the past four months, he got up early every day and washed up, changed into a decent costume and came to the willow bamboo forest, and returned at night. During this period, the little maid will bring him meals twice at noon and unitary hour.

Seeing that the person who came was his follower, Duan Ruran was a little depressed, and sighed softly: "Is it noon?

Almost every time the servant came to deliver food, he would say this sentence unconsciously.

"How did time pass so quickly, why didn't the girl come here yet..."

The little maid looked at his son's sad and lost appearance, nodded sadly, and replied in a low voice: "Well, it's noon, it's time for the son." ”

After finishing speaking, he spread out the folding table and chairs in his hand, and then took out two cups of food from the food box and placed them on the small desk.

... ...

"A few masters, just let me go alone. You're keeping up, and I'm not interested. Xia Chengyi chuckled and begged.

Hua Fang and Gluttony looked at each other's expressions, and they all nodded, and they all thought: "The horizon is wide here, and it is not easy for thieves to hide, we will follow from a hundred and ten zhang, if there is a situation, we can rush up with a few breaths, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"Okay. Hua Fang replied with a smile, "However, the county lord can promise us, and at most we will have to go back to the house when we apply." ”

The jaw palace is powerful, some people like it, some people don't like it, and there are not a few people who want to get in the way. Xia Chengxuan is in the palace, and the villains naturally can't take him, Xia Chengyi is different...

Right now, who in the court doesn't know that Xia Chengxuan's closest relative is only this one sister! It can be said that Xia Chengyi is his only weakness.

From this point of view, although she has more than 300 people to protect her on this trip, it is not necessarily foolproof, so it is naturally better to go back early.

Without the attendant by his side, Xia Chengyi finally relaxed a little, crossed his hands behind his back, and walked in a roundabout way.

Although it is only autumn, the willow trees on the embankment have faded yellow, far less beautiful than the scenery when the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

"The last time I came, the peach and willow were green, and the swallows were also crying briskly, as if they were singing and joking, and there were many more tourists. This time, the peach blossoms have fallen, the green willows have turned yellow, and there is no vitality in the slump? Isn't this like the Jaw King's Mansion?" she moved lightly all the way, thinking about it in her heart.

Thinking that less than half a year has passed, he has been separated from his father and mother, and tears have fallen.

"The seasons go back and forth, and when autumn and winter are unpredictable, spring always comes. At that time, the peach blossoms will bloom again, the willow branches will be green again, and the return of Beiyan will be another lively and lively scene, what about the Jaw Palace? Can the father and mother come back?"

At this time, it was a meal, and there were not a few pedestrians in the entire swallowtail pond, and her cry was heard far away on the embankment of the quiet river.

Duan Ruran was chewing his meal, and when he heard the faint sound of sobbing, he was suddenly stunned, and he pushed the dishes and chopsticks on the table and hurriedly ran to the sound.

He ran in such a hurry that he accidentally stepped on the hem of his clothes and fell to the ground. Although the little guy didn't know why Duan Ruran suddenly ran wildly, however, he saw it clearly when he fell to the ground, and was about to step forward to help, but he saw that he was struggling to get up, holding the hem of his clothes and continuing to run forward.

In a groove about a hundred zhang away from Xia Chengyi, Hua Fang leaned over and stared at the movement on the plank road.

"Master Hua Fang, do you want to stop that scholar?" The guards of the One Jaw Palace's Mansion stepped forward and asked Hua Fang respectfully.

"No, I don't have to. This person has vain steps, not a person who practices martial arts. Look at the way his clothes are swinging, and there will never be a blade on his body, so it's okay. It was difficult for the county lord to come out, and he must have been very bitter these days, so let her cry there for a while. If the scholar has done something inappropriate, I will naturally take action to restrain him. Hua Fang's eyes did not squint, and replied in a deep voice.

Xia Chengyi was crying sadly, and a trembling voice of a strange man suddenly sounded next to him: "Girl, if you encounter anything embarrassing, you can tell me that Duan Ruran will definitely do it for you." ”

The closer he got, the more convinced Duan Ruran was that the girl in purple in front of him was the beautiful woman of his dreams that he had been waiting for months. At this time, he stood three feet away from Xia Chengyi and asked respectfully. Although he tried his best to calm his state of mind, his teeth still trembled, and the words he said trembled and became a little unclear.

Hearing someone ask herself, Xia Chengyi gradually stopped crying, buried her head in wiping away her tears, raised her head, and replied softly: "I don't care, you..."

In front of him was a young man dressed as a scholar, bowing slightly to himself. I saw that his robe was stained with a lot of mud and withered grass, and his forehead and face were bleeding, as if he had fallen and fallen.

"You're bleeding, wipe it. Xia Chengyi handed over the silk silk in his hand and whispered to him.

Although she didn't recognize the scholar in front of her, she could feel his full kindness, and when she saw him so embarrassed, she naturally felt compassion.

Duan Ruran's body was shocked, he slowly raised his head, looked at Xia Chengyi in a daze, and muttered, "The girl finally talked to me... The girl finally spoke to me... I...... Am I not dreaming?"

"You're bleeding from your forehead, so let's wipe it off quickly. Xia Chengyi suddenly remembered that there was also a scholar who stopped him here last time, and after thinking about it, wasn't it the person in front of him?

Duan Ruran's eyes widened, and he said happily: "Girl! Do you remember Xiao Sheng?" he said, his hands still shaking, obviously very happy.

Xia Chengyi smiled, didn't answer him, handed the silk in his hand closer, and said to him: "Hurry up and wipe the blood stains, it's quite disgusting." ”
