lotus in troubled times

When he arrived in Chang'an, Guo Yan sent people to follow Liansheng and act accordingly.On the other hand, he and Lin Cheng went to Shen's house to inquire about the news.

Liansheng asked several people, and gradually began to feel that something was wrong. Someone was following him all the time, and the words of those people he asked were also somewhat strange.He turned around Benluyuan a few times and finally got rid of him.

He can't remember the original location of Zeng's house very clearly. Because of the war, most of the people in Chang'an also left.Liansheng searched for half a day, but found nothing.As the evening approached, I saw people rushing back from the outskirts of the city one after another.With the idea of ​​giving it a try, he stopped a woman and asked a few words.

The woman was frightened by him and thought he was a bad person, so she made it clear after a while.

In the year when Liansheng left, a great plague broke out in Chang'an, and almost half of the people died.The residences of Zeng's and Mu's residences were larger, and people died so thoroughly that the imperial court sent people to gather the people suffering from the disease in Zeng's and Mu's residences, and burned them all down.

The woman was still trembling and said: "The fire burned for four or five days and never went out. Finally, it was extinguished after heavy rain. Now it is full of ashes and bones. No one dares to approach it after nightfall."

Liansheng followed the woman's guidance and finally found the location of the Zeng family.

Looking at the Zeng Mansion with only the frame left, he could imagine how long the fire had been burning.A plague destroyed his family, a fire reduced Zeng's mansion to ashes, and a heavy rain made him unable to find even a single ashes.

Everyone in the beggar gang called him Lian Sheng, but he always remembered that he was Zeng Lian.Now, after all, no one in the world knows that there is another Zeng Lian. In his dream, it is impossible for his parents to come and pick him up to come true.

There is only one lonely Liansheng left in the world.

It was already late at night when Guo Yan came back from Shen Yuan.There was no moon at night, and the place where they lived was pitch black.There was no light in Liansheng's room, Guo Yan asked, and sure enough, the person he sent was lost.Guo Yan sighed and returned to his room.

As soon as he opened the door, Guo Yan felt the breath of Liansheng.The candle he lit was extinguished by Liansheng's palm.Liansheng is not in his room, he is in Guo Yan's room.Guo Yan took two steps towards him and was hugged again.Deeper and heavier, Liansheng was wearing thin clothes, and Guo Yan could feel a chill when holding him.

"Going out today?"

"Ah."

Liansheng came back early and sat quietly in Guo Yan's room for a long time. He felt uncomfortable and wanted to say a lot of things, but he searched and searched but didn't know who to talk to, except Guo Yan.He originally wanted to sit in Guo Yan's room for a while and then leave, but he didn't want to sit for a whole night. Finally, when Guo Yan came back, he couldn't help but hugged him and sobbed.

"Master, did you already know?"

"Well... Liansheng, let the past go." Guo Yan thought, Liansheng finally found out, he held Liansheng in his arms, and said slowly and solemnly: "Liansheng, in my life For the rest of my life, I will definitely protect you."

Liansheng cried even harder, tears and snot all over Guo Yan's body, trembling all over, almost dying of breath.Liansheng relied on his family and the people who helped him in Lijia Village, and now those people have left permanently.

"Master, you are the only one left by my side. I will be obedient in the future, and I will do better than now. I will not cry in the future, so let me always be by your side."

Guo Yan hugged him even tighter, and made a silent promise.

For men, it is not a good thing to be too dependent on others.From a rational point of view, Guo Yan should let go of Liansheng now and teach him well, but he still chose to indulge and become Liansheng's dependence.

For him, Liansheng may be more than special, special enough to be called unique.
