"What about that?" Tang Ning glanced at her and said dissatisfiedly, "This one has a nose and eyes, where is it not a person?"

Tang Zixi looked at the statue's eyes of different sizes, crooked nose, and large mouth with severe disproportions, although it was ugly, but it was indeed as he said, 'there are noses and eyes', so he nodded and said, "Oh!"

Tang Ning thought she was going to say something, but she didn't expect that there would be no movement after that, staring at her mouth for a long time and finally couldn't help but say, "What else?"

"What?" Tang Zixi turned his head with a blank look on his face.

Tang Ning opened his mouth and was stunned because he didn't know how to answer, and only after a while did he say with interest: "It's nothing, you sit by yourself for a while, I'll go over and take a look." After speaking, he didn't look at her, got up and left.

The fog by the lake grew bigger and bigger, gradually drowning the lonely and delicate back, leaving only a looming back.

Tang Ning returned to the bonfire, casually threw the wooden carving on the ground, and said with a dark face: "Don't look for me next time for this kind of thing." ”

Diao Li raised her head from the book, looked at the young man who was flushed with anger, and couldn't help but laugh.

Tang Ning glared at her and said angrily: "You can still laugh at it, sister, I don't blame you for doing this." After saying that, he walked to the side, tore off a green grass, put it in his mouth, chewed it indiscriminately, and then spit on his bloodstained left hand. In order to make that wood carving, he was not less injured, especially his left hand, I don't know how many times he was cut.

"Are you injured?" Diao Li found his injured left hand, quickly pulled his hand to wipe off the grass residue, poured some medicinal powder again, and then wrapped it with a cloth tape, "This is my newly prepared Jinchuang medicine, which is better than you applying Panax notoginseng grass directly." ”

Tang Ning let her wrap her hands into white zongzi, but the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, pointing to the wood carving that was gradually swallowed by the flames and said: "This girl is a wooden stake that does not enter with oil and salt...... I even told her about falling into a manure pit when I was a child. But you look at her, you look at her, don't say thank you, not even a smile. With a black face all day long, it was as if someone owed her money. I'm not her mother, why should I coax her? Speaking of this, he flicked his sleeves fiercely, sat on the ground, threw the firewood beside him into the fire as if angry, looked at the flames that suddenly soared, and added, "I don't care, I can't care about it." Whoever you like, don't look for me anyway!"

Diao Li saw that Tang Ning was really angry, but she couldn't tell him the inside story, so she had to say vaguely: "Didn't I tell you that this girl is the daughter of your Big Brother Su's benefactor, let's return the favor for your Big Brother Su." I know you've been very aggrieved these days, but can't you be more tolerant and bear more for the sake of me and your big brother Su?"

Tang Ning just looked at the fire, and didn't mean to answer at all. But I muttered in my heart, if it weren't for your face, I wouldn't have been happy to deal with her a long time ago. However, he didn't dare to say these words, for fear of hurting the other party's heart. In the final analysis, he Tang Ning, a helpless orphan, can have today, all of which is Diao Li's loving and caring relationship.

I only heard Diao Li continue: "And her background is very pitiful, and she has suffered a big change recently." You are a man, what kind of strength do you have with a little girl? It would be a shame if this got out. ”

Tang Ning snorted lightly, but still didn't answer, but his face softened a lot.

Diao Li's hand lightly put on his shoulder, sighed and said, "Didn't I teach you how to enlighten her before, didn't you say it?"

"Why didn't I say it?" Tang Ning's body moved slightly and was about to raise his head, but he didn't know why he suddenly turned his head away, and said in a jerky tone, "I said all the words you taught me to say, and I didn't say it word for word, and I don't know if she listened to it." ”

"Are you crying?" Diao Li suddenly realized that something was wrong, patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, she's a smart girl, she will understand your hard work." It's the same as when you understood your sister's hard work. ”

"You're crying!" Tang Ning twisted away from her hand and said in an urn voice, "I just don't understand, why do you have to let me go." You're both women, isn't it easier to communicate?"

Diao Li's hand suddenly froze in mid-air, and after a while, she silently withdrew her jade hand and sighed: "Because she is very wary of people now, that is, you are about the same age as her, and she will say a few more words if she is not so guarded against you." You can also see her attitude towards me in the past few days, although she is polite and thoughtful, but her words are extremely distant. So if you really follow what you said, and replace it with me, I'm afraid she won't say a word. Maybe it backfires. ”

There is another point she didn't say, since she said goodbye to Tang Zixi in Liangzhou City that time, seeing this seemingly ordinary girl again this time actually gave her an extremely strange feeling, like a ...... who has known her for a long time Foe.

She was sure that she didn't know each other before, and even last time she was commissioned by Su Jing, so she really couldn't figure out where this feeling came from.

Tang Ning didn't know what she was thinking, but she felt a little better when she enlightened her, and muttered, "She doesn't have anything to say to me." Then he said, "What the hell happened to her?"

I heard that Diao Li didn't answer immediately, but said faintly after being silent for a long time: "She, just like you." ”

"Same as me?" Tang Ning turned around, tears still on her childish face, "Could it be that her family is also ...... Also...... Gone?"

Diao Li nodded and said, "I didn't want to tell you, but even if I don't say two days, you'll know." And speaking of which, you also know that the Tang general who was beheaded not long ago for treason is her father. ”

"What?" Tang Ning stood up and glared, "She's Uncle Tang's daughter?"

"Someone is coming!" Diao Li nodded and was about to answer, when he suddenly frowned and winked at Tang Ning.

Tang Ning was stunned when he heard this, and before he could react, he heard a sound of small footsteps, which sounded like there were quite a few people. He was about to step forward to check, but was pulled behind by Diao Li.

Immediately after, a few people came out of the mist.

The leader was a handsome young man wearing a green cloth robe, and when he saw the two people next to the fire, his eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said, "Miss Diao, Brother Tang, don't come to harm!" Then with a wave of his hand, the few people behind him retreated far aside.

"Brother Li!"

Tang Ning couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the appearance of the person who came, rushed over and punched the other party's chest, then grabbed his shoulder and laughed: "I thought it was who, the third watch in the middle of the night scared me to death." ”

The person who came was Li Yu, he was beaten by this punch and grinned, inhaled and said: "Tap and tap, I know you are very happy and excited to see me, but men don't have to be so enthusiastic!"

"Sample!" Tang Ning didn't care so much, punched him again, and said angrily: "You guy hasn't appeared for so long, I thought you were dead?"

The faces of several people next to him changed when they heard this, and their eyes looking at Tang Ning were faintly angry.

Diao Li, who was on guard on the side, immediately noticed this change, stepped forward and just caught it in the middle, and said quietly: "Li Gongzi's injury is healed?"

"Almost!" Li Yu gave her a fist salute and said solemnly, "Thanks to Miss Diao's rescue, the so-called great grace is not grateful, and if the girl has any dispatch in the future, she will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire." After saying that, he gave a deep salute.

Diao Li nodded slightly and said, "It's so natural." But Li Gongzi appeared in this wilderness so late, I'm afraid he didn't play in the mountains and rivers, right?"

Li Yu smiled faintly when he heard this, and said, "Appearing in this wilderness so late is naturally not to visit the mountains and rivers. In fact, he was in a greedy hurry and accidentally missed the lodging, and when he saw that there was a fire here, he took the liberty to come over, and hoped that the girl would not be surprised. ”

"It's no wonder. Diao Li nodded in agreement, and then glanced at a few people next to him, intentionally or unintentionally, "Who are these friends?"

Although these people were dressed as entourages and did not have weapons hanging from their waists, their temples were high and protruding, and their eyes were shining, and they were obviously hidden masters.

"These are the retinues below. Li Yu said a little embarrassedly, "No way, since I was injured last time, my mother didn't worry about me walking the rivers and lakes alone, so she had to send these people to protect me." I couldn't resist her, so I had to be a filial son. ”

"Brother Li, where are you going?" Tang Ning on the side interjected.

Li Yu blinked and smiled: "I heard that the capital of Luoyang is extremely prosperous, and there are countless rare treasures. I didn't expect to meet the two, it's a coincidence. ”

is worthy of being good brothers who have experienced life and death together, Tang Ning suddenly understood, and suddenly raised his voice and said: "By the way, I seem to have seen a red light before, I'm afraid that some strange treasure has been born." After speaking, he pointed in a random direction, "It's over there, why don't we go over and have a look?"

Li Yu pretended to be surprised, and said, "Then let's talk about it first, let's add two to five, and no one will take much." ”

Tang Ning squeezed his eyes at him, and said loudly: "You and I are like brothers, your mother is my mother, so why not honor your aunt?" After speaking, the two laughed and walked towards the lake.

A few entourages wanted to follow, but they were blocked by Diao Li, who was dressed in white, and only heard her say lightly: "A few of you might as well wait here with the little girl." After speaking, he raised his hand, "Please!"

The eyes of several people looked at one of the middle-aged men with a beard, and when they saw that he nodded imperceptibly, they sat down around the bonfire, but their eyes did not leave Li Yu's back.
