Suddenly being woken up, there was a hint of displeasure in the proprietress eyes. But when she saw that the person standing in front of her was Chen Yijian, her eyes were immediately replaced by a look of joy. With a worried look on his face, he hurriedly got up from the bench. grabbed Chen Yijian's arm and twisted him back and forth to look at him carefully. It wasn't until he was finally sure that there was not a trace of scars on his body that he was obviously relieved and said to him, "It's good that you weren't injured." ”

Chen Yijian smiled brightly, and before he could speak, the weasel that came out of nowhere had already taken a step ahead of him. Standing on the square table with a short figure, he said to the proprietress with a serious face: "I told you a long time ago that our boss will be fine, and you still don't believe it." Now that I saw it with my own eyes, I can rest assured! Who is our boss, how can he be injured, just kidding!"

Regarding the weasel's words, Chen Yijian's face was a little helpless. Raised his hand and patted it on its little head, looking at the proprietress who was amused by the weasel, and then said: "Don't worry, I'm not hurt... I'm leaving, can you give me a ride?"

The smiling proprietress suddenly stiffened her face. Even the joy in his eyes gradually dimmed a little after hearing Chen Yijian say this. But soon, she regained her old look. It's just that there is still a trace of loss in the tone. said, "Okay!"

Then, she walked in front of him and walked first towards the outside of the restaurant. And he, slowly, followed behind her.

Although it has experienced a sudden change, the streets of Qucheng are still full of people coming and going, and it is very lively. Perhaps, as far as the war does not continue in the city, they will not panic and still do what they are doing! Actually, it is also true, as ordinary people, what can they do except try to make their lives better? Is it possible that they should raise their farm tools and go to the battlefield to fight to the death like the soldiers?

In the long river of history, there has indeed been such a picture. But are they really willing? Not forced out! If they had a choice, would they do it? For most people in the world, there are still many people who are afraid of death. People like Qian Yongjun are, after all, in the minority. More people will still choose to hide. This has nothing to do with righteousness, it is purely human.

The two walked in the crowd, and Chen Yijian followed behind her. She didn't turn to talk to him, so he didn't speak first. The two of them were like strangers, walking towards the outside of the city.

The rubble and blood stains at the city gate are no longer known to be cleaned by rain or artificially cleaned up. On the city wall, the corpses all over the ground have long disappeared, and they have been guarded by a soldier again.

The proprietress who walked in front did not mean to stop even when she passed through the city gate. Seeing this, Chen Yijian, who was behind him, could only continue to follow her and walk forward.

In the gloomy sky, lingering drizzle continued. The clothes of the two who had never held an umbrella gradually became soaked. After about a stick of incense, the proprietress who had been completely drenched by the rain stopped in a no-man's area. He turned around leisurely, raised his slender fingers like white jade, and brushed a strand of long hair from his forehead behind his ear. looked at Chen Yijian, smiled and said softly, "I'll send you here!"

Chen Yijian nodded and said, "Okay!"

After speaking, there was a silence between the two for a while. But whether it was Chen Yijian or the proprietress either, they never stepped away and left, and the two looked at each other like this. This made the weasel standing on the side, and the crested starling inevitably murmur in their hearts. I heard the weasel whisper to the cocktailed starling, "What's the matter, big brother? It's not too early to see that it's getting dark, so why do you have to stay for dinner?"

The crested starling first thought about it very seriously, and then said with a serious expression on his face: "Look at this posture, it is very possible!"

Although the voices of the two were deliberately suppressed, in this open place where no one was around, their voices still clearly reached the ears of the proprietress and Chen Yijian. In this regard, Chen Yijian naturally didn't say much. But the proprietress couldn't help but laugh after listening to it. At the same time, it also broke the awkward atmosphere between the two.

The fingers of mutton fat and jade pointed at the weasel and the crested starling. On her glamorous face, she seemed to be smiling. But he opened his mouth and said to Chen Yijian: "My name is Yang Jinxiu, Yang of Yangliu, and Jinxiu of mountains and rivers." What about you, what's your name?"

Chen Yijian was a little embarrassed, but he still smiled and said: "My name is Chen Yijian, Chen of Erdong Chen, one sword, two swords, three swords, one sword!"

The woman was happy, but she was very happy in her heart. Then he asked, "Do you like me?"

This time, Chen Yijian couldn't laugh. Looking at the beautiful smile on the woman's face, Chen Yijian actually blushed a little. After a long time, he said to her, "Actually... I think you're my sister!"

The woman was stunned, a little lost, but more curious. I can't help but ask, "Why?"

Chen Yijian said: "Because you and my sister look very similar, really very similar." It's just ......" Speaking of this, Chen Yijian stopped talking. In a pair of bright eyes, a trace of sadness was evidently emerging. But he didn't deliberately hide it, as if after some contemplation, he continued to speak: "She has left this world and gone to another world. Although she has been gone for two years, she is still clearly engraved in my mind. I remember her smile and every movement, every word she said to me. My sister is very beautiful and as beautiful as you. And she also likes to laugh, but whenever she encounters a little bit of happiness, she can laugh there for a long time. She has a pair of small tiger teeth, and she is really good-looking when she laughs. The two sweet dimples seem to be the most mellow wine in the world, which makes people intoxicated. It's the same as when you laugh!"

When the woman heard this, she didn't know why, she deliberately smiled at Chen Yijian.

She didn't interrupt Chen Yijian's words, but just smiled at him, and continued to listen to his whispers that were more like reminiscences.

Chen Yijian naturally saw her smile, and the trace of sadness in his eyes couldn't help but fade a little, and continued: "But just two years ago, my sister got married, from Dongsheng Divine Continent, to your Middle Earth Divine Continent. thought that she had found a good man who loved her and loved her, and she would never suffer again in her life. However, it didn't take long for us to receive a letter from Middle-earth. The letter was sent from my sister's house, and I had read the contents of the letter, it was very long, and it was a dozen pages long. But I only remember one passage, which is the one written at the end of the letter: 'The relentless war has ravaged our homeland. In order to protect the child in her womb, she unfortunately died!' Especially the four words of the last unfortunate death, it was like a sharp sword, which crushed my heart.

For as long as I was sensible, I have been carried by my sister. I rarely saw my parents, even my sister, and I didn't see them a few times. Later, I learned from my grandmother that they had left home and traveled around not long after I was born in pursuit of more exquisite swordsmanship. So, in my memory, apart from my grandmother, the closest person is my sister. I thought that what happened two years ago would make it impossible for me to see my sister again in my life. I didn't expect that passing through Qucheng by chance this time would make me meet you, sister!"

Someone once said that no matter how sad it is, it will eventually dissipate in the long river of time, until it finally turns into smoke. Chen Yijian didn't know if this statement was true, but he was always afraid in his heart that there would really come one day. Therefore, he always reminds himself that he must not forget his sister who is both kind and beautiful. Because he had also heard a rumor that after death, the soul would enter reincarnation and be reincarnated as a human again.

He had been waiting, waiting for another day to be able to recognize his sister again. Even if she doesn't know herself anymore by then, that's okay. As long as you can recognize her and protect her, that's enough!

When Chen Yijian saw the proprietress in the restaurant for the first time, he didn't actually think of anything. It's just that there is a strange feeling of indescribable and inexplicable for her in my heart. It wasn't until he stayed at the ruined temple at night and met a weasel and a crested starling that he suddenly remembered his sister. Because of this, after seeing the five hundred cavalry troops with a bloody smell all over their bodies, rushing in the direction of Qucheng, why did he rush back so nervously.

Perhaps it is because women themselves have an innate sorrow for unfortunate things. So when the proprietress listened to Chen Yijian's words, her eyes were already slightly red. Especially when she heard the last sound of her sister, she finally couldn't hold back the crystal tears in her eyes anymore. Just like that, it flowed down her beautiful cheeks and silently. Even she didn't notice it.

Chen Yijian's hand was gently raised, wiping away the two lines of tears for her, and there was no sadness in his eyes. looked at her and said tenderly, "Are you willing to be my sister?"

The woman didn't speak, just kept nodding her head vigorously.

Chen Yijian, who seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief, laughed completely at this moment. I laughed happily, just like that child, innocent!

Next, Chen Yijian said a lot to the woman. Most of them are interesting stories about what he has seen and heard when he has traveled around the world over the years. Although there are many women who can't understand, this does not prevent her from smiling happily like Chen Yijian.

Perhaps intentionally, the two did not mention Chen Yijian's sister again.

The cold autumn rain enveloped the two. The overcast sky became darker as night fell. When the two of them came back to their senses, the earth was completely covered with a black cloth. Chen Yijian was a little reluctant to stop the words in his mouth, and said to Yang Jinxiu: "Sister, it's dark, I'll send you back first!"

Yang Jinxiu did not refuse, and in the small talk, she already knew Chen Yijian's identity as a monk. Although I still didn't know the meaning of the word monk in my heart, I also vaguely knew some general information. For example, as a monk, you will have some mysterious skills that many ordinary people do not have. What shrinks the ground into inches, what moves mountains and seas.

So, even though it was dark now, she no longer had to worry about delaying his journey.

Chen Yijian smiled and said, be careful. The next moment, he and Yang Jinxiu had already returned to the restaurant. Looking at the familiar restaurant, Yang Jinxiu's face suddenly showed a trace of reluctance. opened his mouth and said to Chen Yijian, "When will you come back?"

Chen Yijian thought for a while and replied, "Go to Longchuan and come back." If it's fast, I think I'll be back in a year!"

Yang Jinxiu was stunned, but asked with some shock: "You want to go to Longchuan?"

Chen Yijian was also a little puzzled, nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Yang Jinxiu said wait a minute, and the figure quickly ran towards the second floor of the restaurant. In Chen Yijian's confused face, he quickly walked down from the second floor again. In his hands, there is an extra burden. When he came to Chen Yijian's side again, he said to him: "My husband and junior brother are both members of the Meng family's army. I heard that they followed the army to Longchuan to fight this time, if you go to Longchuan, help me hand over this burden to them. There's a letter I just wrote, and they'll know something when they read it. ”

Chen Yijian nodded, stretched out his hand to take the burden from Yang Jinxiu's hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, it just so happens that I can also see my brother-in-law's demeanor in the army." If I feel that it is not possible at that time, I will replace the letter in the baggage, find someone to write a book of resignation, and directly give my brother-in-law a pension. Hey, hey!"

Yang Jinxiu rolled her eyes, and said with some coquettishness: "How can there be a person like you!"

Chen Yijian laughed out loud in disbelief.

Then, Yang Jinxiu saw Chen Yijian, who was smiling and smiling, and suddenly in his eyes, his figure gradually dissipated, and finally disappeared completely.

"You and my brother look alike!"

"Perhaps, this is the fate that God gave us!"

Yang Jinxiu's voice was very light, so light that she could only hear it alone.

Inside the restaurant, the lights are brilliant. Standing in the bright lobby, looking at the restaurant that was gradually getting busy, Yang Jinxiu's face was a little stunned. Even the guy who stepped forward to ask was only pulled back to reality after shouting at her several times.

Mr. Chen, who was wearing a Qinghui gown, came to Qingshui Building so late for the first time. All the guests present at the dinner stood up at the same time and greeted the old man respectfully. And the old man also greeted them with a smile one by one.

Soon, Yang Jinxiu, who was busy, saw Mr. Chen walking into the restaurant. Although there was curiosity in his heart, there was no unusual expression on his face. Walk a few steps quickly to the front and back of the old man, fluttering to give ten thousand blessings, and said to the old man: "It's rare that Mr. Chen still comes to the shop so late, what do you want to eat, you tell me, I'll invite the old man." ”

Mr. Chen smiled and waved his hand, but said: "It seems that the boss lady is in a good mood today, I am infected by you, and my old man's mood doesn't know why, and he is getting better." No, no, I need to have some wine and celebrate today. ”

Yang Jinxiu was stunned, in his impression, Mr. Chen was a person who didn't drink a drop of alcohol. Curious, he opened his mouth and asked Mr. Chen, "Mr. Chen, what makes you so happy today?"

Mr. Chen laughed, suddenly raised a hand, pointed at Yang Jinxiu, and said, "You!"

Yang Jinxiu was even more puzzled.

Mr. Chen smiled more and more happily, and no longer played dumb riddles with her, and said directly: "Then did Chen Shaoxia recognize you as a sister?"

Yang Jinxiu understands a little, but still not completely understands. opened his mouth and asked, "Yes, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the old gentleman's happiness, right?"

Mr. Chen waved his hand, still laughing, shook his head and said, "Why is it okay? Anyway, I'm just having fun. ”

Yang Jinxiu was completely confused by the old man, but it was nothing. Since the old gentleman is happy, let him go.

Smiling and bringing the old man to a free table, Yang Jinxiu turned around and shouted to the guy personally: "Man, get a jar of the best clear water wine for Mr. Chen!"

A fellow immediately answered:

"Howler!"
