from the crane

Jiang Yin was woken up early in the morning by Mr. Lin's voice. He covered his left eye, and his eyes were completely dark. He heard Mr. Lin calling him, so he got up and came to Mr. Lin in a hurry.

Mr. Lin threw the sachet to Jiang Yin, Jiang Yin was stunned for a long time, not understanding what was going on.

"Miss Liu Jia gave it to you." Mr. Lin frowned, as if he hated this thing very much, "Tell them to remember, if they break into the bamboo garden again next time, I will really chase them away."

"Why do you give me this, we are not familiar with each other." Jiang Yin looked at the sachet suspiciously, and hung it on his waist casually. Mr. Lin didn't bother to care when he saw it, and waved him out.

Just after Jiang Yin left the bamboo garden, he met a girl. She was wearing an apricot-yellow dress, velvet flowers on her head, and flowers on her face. When she saw Jiang Yin, she blushed and bowed. She said cautiously, " Jiang, where are Mr. Jiang going?"

"I'm going to talk to Wu Cuo about business. You are..." Jiang Yin looked at her for a long time but couldn't remember her name. The girl smiled nervously and replied, "I'm the second young lady of the Liu family. , you can call me Yuan Niang."

"Hey, Yuan Niang." Jiang Yinchong smiled and said politely, "Let's have a good chat when we have time. I have something to do, so it's not convenient to stay here with you."

After speaking, she ran out, Yuanniang was a little disappointed, but she couldn't help but blush when she thought of the sachet she made by herself on his waist.

Jiang Yin came to Yu's house with big strides. Before entering the door, he bumped into Yu Wucuo who was about to go out. On, I asked three or four times, and he drove me out."

"I'll tell you, no mistake, did Liu Yi'an tell you about Jinzhou?" Jiang Yin made way for him, and Yu Wucuo went out of the gate and responded, "He told me everything, I've already sent someone to Thoroughly checked."

"No, no, I'm here to confirm something with you. How much do you know about your guest?"

Jiang Yin frowned and looked at him with a serious look, but Yu Wucuo was a little surprised. This Jiang Yin rarely had such a serious look, so he said patiently, "Keqing is managed by my father. Still young, nothing else."

"Is that so..."

Jiang Yin turned and walked out, Yu Wucuo called him a few times but he didn't answer, looking at his dazed back, Yu Wucuo couldn't help clicking his tongue, maybe he was suffering from dementia again.

Jiang Yin's mind was in a mess, and within a few steps, he collided with a man. The calligraphy and paintings in the man's hands were scattered on the ground. Jiang Yin hurriedly helped him pick them up, but when he handed the paintings to him, he was stunned. Living.

"Lu Li?"

Lu Li rolled his eyes and whispered to him, "Hush your voice, don't hurt me."

"Where have you been these past few years? Your academy has been managed by your students all the time, and they have been looking forward to your return." Jiang Yin gave him the whole picture, and said, "Are you coming back to live here or just passing by? "

"I happened to pass by here." Lu Li strode forward, and Jiang Yin followed him when he saw this, and heard him say, "When I go back to the academy, I will leave after staying for a few days."

Jiang Yin asked: "Why didn't you stay?"

Lu Li shook his head and said, "Chang Huan has too much eyeliner, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble again."

Jiang Yin was at a loss for words for a while, so he simply had nothing to say, "Where have you been these few years?"

"I've been to many places." Lu Li looked up at Jiang Yin for a while, and said in surprise, "I haven't seen you in a few years, but I think you've changed a lot."

"How have I changed?" Jiang Yin was a little surprised when he heard this, and Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "I always feel that you are not the same as before, but I can't tell where you have changed."

"I've always been me." Jiang Yin muttered a few words, seemingly displeased, "Tell me the story of your travels."

"I don't have any good stories. I eat and sleep every day. When I open my eyes, I am drawing. When I close my eyes, I am still drawing." Lu Li rubbed his temples, feeling a little annoyed, "I miss the days in the academy, happy and leisurely. .”

After entering Lin Han Academy, Lu Li went straight to the studio. He put the scroll in his hand on the table. Jiang Yin stepped forward to look it up, and saw an interesting portrait.

The painting depicts a princess of the Qiang Dynasty, who is not very old, with a smile on her face. Jiang Yin looked at it for a while and couldn't help asking, "Who is this girl?"

Lu Li was busy arranging calligraphy and painting at this time, and came forward when he heard Jiang Yin's words, and when he saw her, he patted his forehead, "Damn it, I forgot to tell you."

Jiang Yin blinked and listened to his words. Lu Li unfolded the scroll and said softly, "This is the princess of Qiang Qi. When I happened to pass by Qiang Qi, she invited me to paint. I entered their camp But I saw an old acquaintance."

Jiang Yin's eyelids twitched, feeling a bad premonition, but as expected, Lu Li's words stunned him.

"Your elder brother was put under house arrest in that big camp. I dared to ask why he was imprisoned, but the princess laughed and said that he was her son-in-law. He was imprisoned because he refused to accept discipline."

"It's just, it's just!"

Jiang Yin clenched his fists, obviously angry, Lu Li tried to persuade him when he saw it, "Don't be annoyed, and don't be impulsive no matter what, the Qiang Qi camp doesn't just come in as soon as you say it."

"These barbarians are simply lawless. How can this be? It's just..." Jiang Yin was at a loss for words, Lu Li patted him on the shoulder when he saw this, and comforted him, "At least your elder brother is well now and has not been tortured by the Qiang relatives. lethal."

"No, I must bring elder brother out of that place." Jiang Yin was about to go out as he said that, but Lu Li tugged at the corners of his mouth and hurriedly held him back, "How do you bring him out? The imperial court sent troops to fight them After ten years of fighting, it has only been a few years of peace."

"But my elder brother..." Jiang Yin looked at him with a frown, anxious and angry, but there was nothing he could do. He flicked his sleeves and sat down angrily, "I can't just watch my elder brother suffer."

"You have no official position and no military power, so what are you going to do to save him?" Lu Li put the writing brush on the case away, and said to Jiang Yin, "Come here and help me sharpen the ink."

Jiang Yin got up and looked at him, but still did as he said, Lu Li spread out the new drawing paper, held the tip of the brush in his mouth, and the wet ink stained his lips red.

"Why didn't you see the person next to you, where did he go?"

Lu Li's words made Jiang Yin's hand stop, but soon Jiang Yin returned to normal, and said in a low voice, "Outside Changhuan City, he fell into the Xuan River...and died."

"Dead?" Lu Li was a little surprised, but a little regretful, "I want to draw a small portrait of a man with many signs, what a pity."

"Gold and jade are outside, and nothing is inside."

Jiang Yin's voice of gnashing his teeth was too sad, Lu Li raised his eyes to look at him, but found that the other party's face was full of sadness, and asked with some doubts, "What's going on with you, what are you doing scolding so well?"

"It's nothing, I'm dizzy." Jiang Yin stopped talking in a muffled voice, Lu Li shrugged, and continued, "You won't quarrel with him, but the man has gone, so what's wrong that can't be forgiven?"

"Yeah, everyone is dead..." Jiang Yin murmured, a little lost in thought, Lu Li stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "The soul is back——"

"I'm fine." Jiang Yin frowned at him, but Lu Li stepped forward and stared into his eyes. Jiang Yin asked him what he was doing, and he shook his head, "I'm afraid you have dementia."

"What are you crazy about? I'm not sick." Jiang Yin sat down angrily, and Lu Li filled his pen before saying unhurriedly, "People who are sick say they are not sick, Jiang Yin, you It's not a light illness."

"I haven't seen you in a few years, but when you saw me today, each of you was sick. If you do this again, I'll be annoyed!"

"Don't be angry, I'm just worried about you."

"Go and care about others." Jiang Yin snorted, Lu Li clicked his tongue twice, and said, "I still don't care about others, so don't be upset. If you let your illness die, I'm afraid you will hurt yourself."

Jiang Yin twitched the corner of his mouth, and asked Lu Li, "When did you become a doctor?"

"I have traveled the world, and I can see it clearly." Bending down to write, Lu Li said, "Ask yourself, have you let him go?"

"I have nothing to talk to him about. When we meet again, we will face each other with swords."

"So, it's an evil fate." Lu Li suddenly raised his head and asked Jiang Yin to give him his hand. Jiang Yin looked at him suspiciously, but saw that he had drawn a line on his ring finger with a brush.

The red paint looks like a red thread. Jiang Yin looked at it for a long time before listening to Lu Li, "The old man Yuexia was confused for a while, and tied it to his ring finger when he pulled the thread."

"What the hell." Jiang Yin got up and wiped off the marks on his hands, "I'm going back."

"Love never lasts long, remember it."
