Lin Ye Xiaoji

The little girl's cheerful child's voice was mixed with crisp exclamations, echoing in Liu's house.

"Daddy, look, its eyes are blue!"

The snow-white kitten was placed in a bamboo basket on the table and rolled into a small fur ball.After being woken up, he stretched out his two little front paws, arched his back into a hill, and stretched comfortably.

"Oh, it's washed, it's washed! Daddy, may I touch it?"

The little girl put her hand gently on the kitten's head, and stroked it carefully twice. The cat is not afraid of people, and its voice is soft and delicate, "meow meow".

"It's so soft, can sister Qiao sew a small mattress for it? Put it in the basket where he sleeps."

The man smiled heartily, "What Yue'er says is what she says, and Daddy even brought you a face mask. Do you like it?"

"I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it.

The man took the little girl into his arms, patted her head affectionately, and said, "Haha, I will buy whatever Yue'er likes, and put them in the dowry so that Yue'er can take her with her when she is married."

The woman leaned against the door, watching the father and daughter enjoying themselves in the courtyard.Ten fingers do not touch the spring water, the husband is considerate and cares about the family, and there is a daughter Chenghuan at his knees, living a prosperous and peaceful life.The memory of more than ten years ago is almost blurred. She almost forgot that she once poured wine for a person and watched him dance sword in the moonlight in the Pengmen.She almost forgot that in the twelfth lunar month of winter, someone carefully pressed her hands that were slightly frozen when she was grinding ink into her chest.Almost forgot, she once hummed a ditty softly, shaking the baby in swaddling.

The sound of broken porcelain, broken wood, mixed cries for help from men, women and children, the sound of knives piercing into the flesh and being pulled out immediately, the disorderly footsteps and grinning laughter of the thugs all stimulated the woman.She put the sleepy boy into the wooden barrel hanging half-empty in the dry well, covered the well with wooden planks and piled dry firewood on it, and then stumbled and ran to the front yard.

The road leading to the front yard became long and long, and no matter how hard the woman ran, she could not reach the end. In the darkness, she could only hear her own rapid panting.There was a faint light in the distance, and the woman was rushing in which direction. Lin Er, in dark clothes, was standing under the tree with a lantern in his hand, with a calm face and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if asking, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

The woman threw herself into Lin Er's arms and cried loudly: "Second brother, why are you here? Xiaocui and the others are all dead, and those people are in the front yard. Let's go quickly..." Unbearable, but the smell of blood in the air is getting heavier and heavier.

The woman who cried for a long time did not get a response, she raised her head tremblingly, Lin Er's expression was still the same as before, but thick blood slowly flowed out from the five sense organs, flowing down the neck, and she just leaned over A hole suddenly appeared in his chest, and blood was bubbling out.

The woman was so frightened that she suddenly pushed Lin Er away. The moment Lin Er fell down, a red gash opened on his neck, and his head rolled a few times before returning to the woman's feet, with his mouth opening and closing strangely.The woman only felt that her temples were tightening, and she turned around to run away, but the ground under her feet suddenly turned into an abyss, and she stepped into the air...

"Ah..." The woman woke up from her sleep with a layer of cold sweat on her back.The man beside him was also woken up, and asked sideways, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" The woman's face was pale, her lips trembled, her throat was tight, and she was speechless for a while.

The man got out of bed and poured her a cup of hot tea, and after helping her to drink it, the woman's face calmed down a little, and she said a little tiredly, "I just dreamed about the day when the Lin family had an accident."

The man's hand holding the teacup shook, and then he said calmly, "Why did Hao Duanduan dream of that? It's been so many years, so don't think about it."

The woman sighed and said: "The head of the house, Lin Er's senior brother came to look for me yesterday."

The man properly pulled the quilt towards the woman's shoulders without speaking.

"It is said that Lin Er has already gone in that case." The woman stared at the man, trying to observe a slight change in his face.

The man's expression was in disbelief, and he asked blankly: "That means, it wasn't Lin Er that I saw that day?"

"I was passing by that day, and I suddenly saw a man covered in blood in Qinxue Alley, holding a child in his arms. I was shocked. How dare I look at it?" The man continued, with a look of regret on his face. , "Hey, if I knew it earlier, I would have taken a second look."

The woman lowered her eyes and said, "How can I blame you? You said you were wearing dark clothes, but it's probably Lin Er. I'm afraid that after he sent Shao'er away, he came back to find someone and was murdered."

"Then they found the murderer?"

"No, I happened to meet me in Xijing City, and I want to ask some clues about the year."

The man put his arm around the woman's shoulders and comforted him, "If madam doesn't want to bring up this matter again, I, Liu Qi, will act as madam's face. This matter has passed for so long, and I don't want madam to get involved in trouble again. Let's A family is complete only with you and Yue'er, and I don't want to lose any of you."

"I just hope that our whole family will be safe and sound, free from disasters and difficulties." After finishing speaking, the woman urged the man to sleep again, fearing that he might miss the time to go to the shop tomorrow.

The two closed their eyes, but each had their own thoughts.

Ye Yun got up early, and when she was greeting Mrs. Ye, she mentioned the matter of Lin Shao's injury. She said a word with twists and turns, and she wanted Lin Shao to recuperate for a day.On the one hand, Mrs. Ye laughed at her son's clumsy pleading; on the other hand, although she was grateful to Lin Shao for saving them from danger, she also had some doubts about Lin Shao's purpose in approaching them.

Instruct the little girl to find the doctor to get the medicine, let Ye Yun sit down, and said earnestly: "The kindness of dripping water should be repaid by the spring. In order to save us from being injured, it is the duty of Mr. Lin to take care of him. It is not a problem to rest for another day. It's just that our family is no longer what it used to be, and we need more minds at all times. Mr. Lin is so good at martial arts, if he knows the basics, it's not too much to be a close friend."

"Follow my mother's instruction." Ye Yun replied obediently, knowing her mother's suspicion in her heart, if it coincided with the situation, but the friendship of hitchhiking is naturally not worth it for Lin Shao to lead the gangsters away alone and keep them safe.Immediately, he made up his mind to ask Lin Shao about his background.

Lin Shao has always been a lazy person. He got up early to practice swords in Lushan. As long as the master didn't come to check, he would find a gentle tree branch, lie down on it, put his hands on the pillow, and then fell into a deep sleep.Sometimes the senior brothers and sisters couldn't see it, and they pushed him to wake him up. He lazily hugged the sword and fell asleep standing up.As time passed, his master found out and ordered him to go to his courtyard to practice swords every day. He held a pot of fragrant tea and watched by himself, and only let him go to eat when he was satisfied with the practice. Lin Shao was miserable.When the master is not around, I have to stay in bed all morning.

When Ye Yun left, Lin Shao was still sleeping unconscious with the quilt in his arms.After the medicine was ready, I added a bowl of hot white porridge and a small dish of pickles for the porridge. I didn't ask the servant to help me, and I went to the guest room after serving it myself.

The guest room is at the deepest part of the corridor. When Ye Yun walked to the door, he heard a young woman's voice inside, so he couldn't help but stop.The door of the guest room was not closed tightly, and the palm-sized gap was facing the inner room. A pot of spider plants was hanging in the partition, and the bed could be vaguely seen. A woman in a goose-yellow dress was sitting beside the bed. The plain hands beat and twisted the quilt, and the person on the bed was wrapped in the quilt like a clumsy big bug, never dodging.

Ye Yun was dumbfounded, and was about to open his mouth to speak.

Someone already took the first step, and a male voice with a smile sounded: "Okay, Wanwan, don't make trouble with Xiao Shao." Lin Shao poked his head out from under the quilt and said, "Senior brother, the bigger this little girl is, the more innocent she becomes." Let's see who dares to marry her in the future."

The woman in the goose-yellow dress was not annoyed, instead she sat upright by the bed, straightened the hem of her skirt pretendingly, and said, "Brother Xiao Shao, don't forget, who ran to tell Master eagerly back then that he must marry Shall I pass? It's a pity that this girl is as beautiful as a flower, with a rich dowry, and the suitor..."

"Ahem..." The man interrupted Qi Wanwan, got up and walked towards the door, "Young Master Ye has been outside the door for a long time, I'm sorry."

Ye Yun suddenly felt the blood all over his body pouring into his face, don't listen to indecent words, not only did he listen to the corner of the wall, but also someone found out, now he wished he could pour a bowl of hot porridge all over his face, so as not to be recognized by others.

A man in a brown robe came over, opened the door, and said sincerely: "Ning Feiyu is Xiao Shao's senior brother. Xiao Shao is naughty and bothered Mr. Ye."

"Mr. Ning is polite. Lin Shao is the savior of our Ye family. Why bother?" Now, is Lin Shao going to go with them too, and what's the matter with this girl?Junior sister?

Lin Shao, who was still tightly wrapped in the quilt, motioned to Ye Yun: "Master Ye, this is my junior sister, Qi Wanwan."

Qi Wanwan's boldness just now was gone, her face was a little red at this time, annoyed that her words and deeds were seen by outsiders, she acted with a rare bit of shyness, saluted Ye Yun, and hid behind Ning Feiyu.

Ning Feiyu concealed his smile, turned around and said to Ye Yun: "Xiao Shao was ordered by his family teacher to escort Mr. Ye back to his hometown. If there is anything not thoughtful, I will hope Mr. Ye is happy."

Then he told Lin Shao a few words, declined Ye Yun's intention to keep them for dinner, and left with Qi Wanwan.

The room that was still bustling just now immediately became deserted. Lin Shao seemed to be in a good mood, showing his head from under the quilt with a smile, and said, "Young Master Ye, did you just bring medicine? It smells so bitter. Hey, find me some clothes to wear, I can't even get up."

A nameless anger stuck in Ye Yun's chest, and she turned over a plain robe from her luggage, threw it into Lin Shao's hands, and said coldly, "Since you find it bitter, don't drink it, just pour it out!"

After speaking, he sat down in front of the case and read a book without saying a word.
