Rebirth alone

Ye Tao didn't say goodbye to the people around him before leaving, and even Luo Dong didn't come to see him off.The night before his departure, Hai Yu asked Ye Tao why Luo Dong didn't come to see him off.Ye Tao said that people are happy to meet each other and hate to part, and Luo Dong is no exception. He has given all the instructions that should be given, and seeing him off again will only add to the sadness.

It was only then that Hai Yu realized that the drink on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month was Luo Dong's farewell wine for Ye Tao, and that's why Luo Dong kept nagging and exhorting him, and that's why he got drunk.

At night, after people fell asleep, Hai Yu helped Ye Tao put the suitcase in the car.The next day was the day when Ye Tao went to the hospital for regular checkups, and the bodyguards sent him to the city hospital as usual.Two brothers, Haiyu and Baobao, were also in the car, saying that they were taking the opportunity of Ye Tao to go out to go shopping in the city.

Zhou Ziqian's people follow him as always, they are like another group of bodyguards for Ye Tao, they can see which department Ye Tao enters and which doctor sees him, and naturally they also see Ye Tao who has finished the examination I got in the car when I came and went back to my residence in the suburbs.It's just that they were the only ones who saw Ye Tao go back. The car that took Ye Tao to the hospital was empty when he returned.

The bodyguard who went back alone said to the people in the house: "Mr. Ye is bored at home and is upset. He wants to stay in the city for a few days to relax. Mr. Luo's friends will take care of him and send him back when the time comes."

Although people were surprised that Ye Tao, who had always lived reclusively, suddenly lived out, but no one was talkative.Because the weather was slightly cooler, Ye Tao seldom went outside the house, so the people next door didn't notice anything unusual, and everything went on as usual for the next few days.Zhou Ziqian didn't receive the call until Luo Dong sent someone to Ludao to arrange a place for the people here and settle their salaries.

Luo Dong deliberately concealed Ye Tao's departure for a few more days, just to prevent Zhou Ziqian from making trouble in time.Of course, even if he got the news at the time, it would not be of much use. With a napkin in his pocket, he can be used as an identity. Xiao Haiyu, who has confirmed the ticket, escorted him.

When Zhou Ziqian hurriedly arrived at Ludao, Ye Tao had already arrived in Greentown by the train heading south.Haiyu didn't have an ID card, so this time he picked up a ticket from a meal order card from the trash can.A good boy is a good boy. The falsification of the certificates is out of helplessness. The money for the ticket is real RMB, which is not bad for a dime.

While waiting for the transfer in Greentown, Ye Tao took Haiyu to the restaurant, first ordered two simple meals for Haiyu and himself, and packed a steamed fish.While waiting for the food to be served, Ye Tao studied the route.Since Xiao Haiyu obeyed his master's teachings and refused to disclose the final destination until now, Ye Tao only knew that the next stop was Liuzhou after he got the ticket.

Ye Tao and Haiyu said that when they transfer from Yangcheng, they can buy Liuzhou tickets directly, instead of going around in Greentown.

"Master told me to go this way." Haiyu pondered for a while, and came up with a plausible explanation, "Maybe the old man didn't have the route you mentioned when he traveled far last time."

Haiyu is an obedient child, especially listening to his master, he respects every word the master says as a standard.

The master told him not to let outsiders know where their home was, so he kept his mouth shut to everyone and concealed his whereabouts. Before leaving Ludao, he dumped the person Luo Dong arranged to send them, and did not give Luo Dong a chance to find out.

The master also told him not to be greedy for pleasure and avoid unnecessary expenses. Before boarding the car, he bought a bag of steamed buns as dry food. When choosing a means of transportation, because the air ticket was too expensive and he was afraid of flying, he still ignored Luo Dong. I told you to take the train earlier, and I bought a regular fast hard seat ticket, but I only booked a luxury sleeper ticket for Ye Tao.

Ye Tao couldn't bear it, so he paid him a fare after getting on the bus, and the child half-pushed and went to the sleeper berth, with a "wasteful" expression on his face.Fortunately, Luo Dong's people didn't follow, if the rich and powerful Lord Luo knew that Hai Yu was going all this way to save money, he would come here with murderous intent and beat his ass.

After the food was served, Ye Tao asked Haiyu to eat first, and he took the backpack that was not stored with the luggage in one hand and the box of steamed fish in the other and went outside.

Under the cover of Hai Yu, the cat brothers who got through the security check several times crawled out of the backpack and gnawed on the fish head to head.The restaurants near the station are full or good, and the steamed fish is salty.The two greedy cats who are accustomed to eating delicious food are very picky, and one fish will not eat half of it.Baiwei licked his paws to wash his face, and the baby stretched his neck to let Uncle Ye wipe his mouth, then rubbed his small head against his palm, and said softly: "Meow~~"

Knowing that the little guy was saying thank you, Ye Tao smiled a little, and opened the pockets on his shoulders: "Go in."

The two brothers were all wilted, the bag was stuffy and crowded, and the two brothers were almost crushed into two pieces of very boring dried tofu.

Liuzhou is not the final destination, but when he arrived in Liuzhou, the sickly Ye Tao couldn't hold on anymore.Haiyu wanted to stop and rest for the night, but Ruan Nang was shy, so he had to ask Ye Tao to discuss: "Mr. Ye, can I get some money to stay in the hotel?"

The money he mentioned refers to the money sponsored by Luo Dong. In addition to the cash enough for the two of them to travel around the country, there is also some gold.Luo Dong was thoughtful, fearing that RMB would not be circulated in Hai Yu's hometown, so he exchanged some hard currency for Ye Tao.

Ye Tao, who had already handed over the travel expenses, nodded, and said weakly: "Use it whatever you want, it's all yours...it's all yours."

Haiyu used Ye Tao's ID card to open a double room. The two of them, plus two cats, spent the night in Liuzhou to recuperate, and the next morning they boarded the train bound for Sanjiang.When Ye Tao was working in the newspaper office, he once visited Sanjiang. Although he was there to collect folk songs, he was exhausted at that time. Even though he was full of beautiful mountains and rivers, he couldn't let go of his work and go sightseeing without distraction.Now that I have time to revisit my old place, I have been ill for a long time, and no matter how good the landscape is, I can't get up the energy to see it.

"Haiyu... is it coming soon?" Ye Tao was in a slump, every step he took felt like he was stepping on cotton, feeling that his legs and feet couldn't be grounded.Coming out of the train station, being hit by the bright sunlight, I felt even more top-heavy, like a handful of yellow grass that was about to die.

"We'll be there in half a day. Hold on, I'll go find a car." Seeing Ye Tao's poor condition, fearing that he wouldn't be able to reach his destination, the frugal Xiao Haiyu gave up on the bus and found a car. taxi.

After thousands of kilometers of travel and exhausted travel, Ye Tao feels that it is a miracle that he has not passed out.Thinking of this, he leaned back in the back seat drowsily, and almost lost consciousness as soon as he closed his eyes.

When Ye Tao woke up, he was no longer in the taxi. He sat up in a daze, and all the utensils and furnishings he saw were quaint and delicate --- the canopy bed with the moon hole door cover that hides the wind and gathers energy, and the silver hooks and purple ears hanging on the two sides. The brocade curtain on the side, the simple and elegant wooden table embroidered pier, the exquisitely carved mirror stand and basin frame, the rare copper basin and bronze mirror, a flower table by the door, and a pot of flowers on top of the flower table. Slim orchids... a bit clear and light, a bit thick, and they complement each other naturally. Looking around, this place is like a corner that has been forgotten in the long river of time.

This is the residence of Hai Yu and his master?Did I fall asleep too deeply or passed out?He didn't even realize he was being carried out of the car and moved into the room.

Ye Tao rubbed his forehead, put on his coat and came to the table, and poured himself a glass of water.The tea in the pot was a little cold, and Ye Tao's mind woke up after drinking less than half a cup.Just about to wash and tidy up, go to meet the master's house for a ceremony, and then bring back the baby and Baiwei who had gone somewhere, when they heard footsteps outside the door.

Holding hot tea and snacks, Hai Yu asked outside the door, "Mr. Ye, are you up yet?"

Ye Tao in the room responded, and Hai Yu opened the door to go in. When he came in, he looked at Ye Tao's expression first, and then put the tray on the table.

"You slept for a day and a night, the master said you should wake up, let me come and have a look." Hai Yu poured a cup of hot tea for Ye Tao, and then said, "You passed out on the way, the master gave me a good meal Blame me for not taking good care of you."

"It's my poor health... don't blame you." Ye Tao touched the child's small head to show comfort, "I'll wash my face first, and then... I'll go see your master."

Haiyu hurriedly went to wash Ye Tao's face, and took out the clean clothes put in the closet for Ye Tao to replace, running back and forth like a small spinning top.

After tidying up, Ye Tao followed Haiyu out the door, only then did he realize that he was living in an east wing room.It was noon, the sun was warm and bright, and the air was cleaner than in a small town in Yunnan.The courtyard is well-organized with red flowers and green trees, and Ji Qingyou lives in the main house through the carved and painted veranda.

Although Ji Qingyou called himself a younger brother in his letter to Ye Tao, every time Haiyu mentioned his master, he always said "his old man", which made Ye Tao always wonder how old this legendary old man was.It wasn't until the man in white who was standing with his hands behind his back in the flower hall turned around and gave Ye Tao a gentle and gentle smile, that Ye Tao could see clearly that the so-called old man was a handsome young man with a face like a crown of jade and lips like vermilion.

From then on, Ji Meiren and Uncle Ye lived a peaceful and happy life---End.
