"Ning Shu!

Just as Ning Shu walked out of the City Lord's Mansion while pondering. There was a shout behind him, the voice was clear and clear, he looked back, an eight or nine-year-old girl, bright as a spring, with a little baby fat on her face, tied her hair with a red ribbon, and her childishness had not yet faded, wearing a goose yellow long skirt, a white coat on the outside, and embroidery with white flowers and blue, which was the style of a large family.

I saw her holding her skirt in both hands, carefully avoiding the puddles on the ground, and running hurriedly, light and lovely, like a pony tapping a stream, her long hair flying up and down with the pace.

Ning Shu stepped forward and covered the paper umbrella in his hand over the girl's head, with a rare smile on his face.

"I heard my father say that you promised to go to Los Angeles?"

The girl didn't care about wiping the beads of sweat on her forehead, and opened her mouth slightly and gasped.

Before he could reply, the girl asked, "Did you say how long you will be going, and when will you come back?"

Ning Shu didn't know where to start for a while, because he didn't know if he could come back, otherwise he wouldn't have disagreed at first.

It is said that a clan with the surname Chen migrated here a long time ago, settled down, and then intermarried with local residents, and continued to this day, so that there is the current Ping'an City. Ping'an City is a big city with a radius of dozens of miles, according to Qingcheng Mountain, and there are branches of the Jing River flowing through the city, 30,000 people in the city, and they are happy.

The girl's name is Ning Anyi, and she is the daughter of the city lord.

But not biological.

This is an old incident in the early years.

When Ning Shu was six years old, the war continued, and the five southern countries kept harassing the southern frontier of the gods, although Ping'an City was not within the scope of the war, there were still a large number of refugees seeking refuge, and the city did not have enough resources to relieve it for a while, so the refugees continued to go north.

Ning Shu was Ning Anyi who met at that time.

At that time, Chen Shanhai took him to inspect outside the city, and all he saw was the mess and dilapidation after the evacuation of the refugees, and even the corpses that had not had time to be buried, and the smell of decay filled the air.

Chen Shanhai instructed the soldiers to clean up the corpses to prevent the spread of the plague. Ning Shu also helped, in addition to studying in the academy since he was a child, it was with the city defense army to learn some skills to make a living, the psychological quality of the six or seven-year-old child was so good that the soldiers were surprised, and he gradually understood why the city lord always took this child with him.

Ning Shu wasn't afraid, but he just didn't want to show it, Ning Anyi always said that he was stuffy like a gourd.

As he made the inspection, his stomach was so sick that he was rolling, so he put down his work, walked to the stream, picked up the water and splashed it on his face, and suddenly sobered up a lot. But I heard the sound of a baby crying in my ears, and when I looked for it, I saw a baby girl in the grass in the arms of a woman.

The woman had been dead for a long time, but she was still holding the baby girl tightly, very firmly.

The crows in the trees rattled and rattled, and Ning Shu picked up the stone and threw it at the crow, but the crow was not afraid, and the green eyes stared at the baby.

Ning Shu had no choice but to pick up the baby girl from the woman's arms, and the baby girl actually stopped crying, and looked at the little boy in front of her with blood on his face with clear eyes.

The hand with the red ribbon squeaked and grabbed the air in the air.

......

......

"Let's let it, what are a group of big men doing here? What's so nice about the little girl?" Aunt Wu from the Chinese medicine shop in Ping'an City waved her hand, like chasing mosquitoes, driving away a group of tall onlookers.

"Ning Shu, this little kid, picked up a daughter-in-law?"

"Holy, my mother-in-law hasn't landed yet. ”

"Look at your pockmarked face, what kind of mother-in-law are you looking for, which mother-in-law can take a fancy to you?"

“......”

The crowd gradually dispersed after chattering, only Ning Shu and Chen Shanhai looked at the baby in front of them in a daze, strange to say, she only stared at Ning Shu, and Chen Shanhai on the side didn't look at it.

Ning Shu and Chen Shanhai stared at each other.

After a while, Chen Shanhai spoke: "Look at what I do, do you have the conditions to support her? Don't stare at me, don't you just want me to think of a way? You see which of those old men seems to be able to raise children, don't look at it, I'll go back and talk to your aunt, and I will have one more mouth to eat, one more clean girl, and I will raise her at home." ”

Only then did Ning Shu turn his gaze to the baby girl.

Chen Shanhai thought for a while and said, "Do we have to name her?" ”

"Hmm. ”

"The surname is Ning, anyway, you picked it up, so you should pick it up as a sister. ”

"Hmm. ”

"What's good to call Ning? Your name is Ning Shu, otherwise she will be called Ning Qian, Shu Qian, I think it's good to lose money." ”

Ning Shu sighed at Chen Shanhai's incomprehensible rough name.

"It's called Anyi, I just hope that she will grow up safe and victorious......."

......

......

"Sister Anyi, you're here!" There was a little fat man in front of the school who waved warmly when he saw the long-haired girl.

"Qingniu, why don't you go to class, have you finished reviewing the lesson that your husband taught you yesterday?" Ning Anyi pinched the flesh on the little fat man's face and said.

"Mr. went out early in the morning, I heard that the lord of the city was looking for him something, and now he hasn't come back, the endorsement is too boring, so I'll be lazy and come out to breathe.... Fresh...... Go to the toilet. ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Ning Shu stepping into the yard with an umbrella, and swallowed the second half of the sentence into his stomach.

"I'm going back to study, Sister Anyi, we're destined to see you again!" After speaking, he ran into the school.

There is a tributary of the Jing River passing through the city, dividing the whole Ping'an City into two, and this section of the tributary water area is called the Anning River, and the school is built by the river.

In the evening, the two sat by the river after dinner and chatted, the first sunny day after the rain, the evening breeze blowing, bringing up the grass and trees by the river to shake, full of vitality, the afterglow of the sunset hit the two figures by the river, on the river, on the fishing boat, plated with a layer of golden coat.

Ning Anyi took off his shoes and socks, his feet were immersed in the river, fluttering up and down, like two happy fish in the water, with a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, Ning Shu looked at the round of red things that were about to fall off the eaves in a daze, opened his mouth, wanted to say something but stopped talking.

"Uncle Wu, how is today's harvest?" Ning Anyi shouted into the river with his hands on his lips.

"Ah, it's Mr. Xiao Anyi and Mr. Ning, today's harvest is good, I netted a big fish, come to my house tomorrow to eat, I'll let your aunt make steaming." ”

"Okay, I'll go. ”

Then there was a long silence.

"I've heard that L.A. is far away. In the end, Ning Anyi opened his mouth first.

"Well, it's probably going to pass through the whole of Quzhou, much farther than the Qingyang City we went to when we were kids. ”

"I've heard that there are a lot of people in L.A. ”

"Los Angeles had a million people three years ago. ”

"I heard that there are a lot of immortals in Los Angeles. ”

"Big people always like big cities. ”

"I've heard that the shabu-shabu in Los Angeles is delicious. ”

"In the north, beef and mutton are fresher. ”

"I heard..... There are many good-looking sisters in Los Angeles, they all use good fat powder, and their bodies are very white, white like the piece of jade that my father often plays with. Ning Anyi looked at his feet and blushed.

"This ...... I don't know. ”

Ning Shu didn't expect her to ask this, and she didn't know what she heard there, so she was a little cramped for a while, and scratched her head.

"Then will you find them and marry a daughter-in-law? I heard my father say that you should be old enough to start a family, and you should find a daughter-in-law. ”

"It's ..... I really didn't think about it. ”

His face was a little hot, and he didn't seem to have thought about it before, but suddenly remembered the little girl who gave him marshmallows when he was a child.

The atmosphere was so quiet that you could hear the sound of fish coming to the surface.

Ning Anyi took his feet out of the water, used the hair next to his face, held his legs with both hands, rested his chin on his knees, and looked at the river in front of him, the center of the river, reflecting a bright moon, bright and sparkling waves.

"Ning Shu, in fact, I've always wanted to ask, have you ever thought about cultivating? My father said that you are talented and intelligent, and even the old man who passed by in the city when he was a child wanted to take you as an apprentice. ”

"In addition to cultivation, there are many meaningful things in this world. It's just that if you can, of course it's excellent. ”

"And if after practicing, Chen Zixu's kid bullies you again, I'll clean him up. ”

"He doesn't dare to bully me now, or his father will lock him up. ”

Ning Shu understood what his sister, who was regarded as a treasure by the whole city, was thinking. said with a smile: "I read in the book that this world is vast and does not know the borders, although my god dynasty is a human republic, but there are countless small countries outside it, and it is said that there are foreign races in the north. There is also the kingdom of the demon clan in the west, and above the nine heavens, there is the supreme and supreme Lingxiao Treasure Palace. Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't go out and see it, I'm afraid I'll have to tell you these stories as myths?"

Ning Anyi showed a thoughtful expression.

It was already dark, and the moonlight was shining through the gaps in the leaves to her long hair, and her eyes were still as big as they had been when they first saw them, and she was looking forward to life, and she was playing with a wild flower in her hand, which looked extraordinarily dusty, and in the night she shone with a light comparable to the bright moon in the sky.

"It's getting late, I'll send you back, or the city lord will blame me." ”

Ning Shu's eyes were a little doting.

"Good. ”

......

......

Nothing to say all the way.

"I have to leave early tomorrow morning, so you don't have to send me. ”

When he was about to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion, Ning Shu said.

"Then when you go to Los Angeles, remember to make more friends, talk more, participate in more activities of the scholars, and don't always be alone in a daze. ”

"Also, don't go where you shouldn't....."

The sound was inaudible to the end.

"Hmm. ”

After Ning Shu agreed very seriously, he waved goodbye and returned along the road.

As he was walking four or five steps, he suddenly heard Ning Anyi behind him say loudly: "If you find a suitable young lady, you must bring it back to Ping'an City!"

Ning Shu looked up at the sky, and the bright moon was still so bright that it was dazzling.
