after rebirth

The garden of Pingnan Palace has the beauty and delicacy of the south, and the boldness and vastness of the north. It is a very contradictory combination, but it is just right.Zhao Ningzhang saw his father approaching from a distance, and cheered happily. The large amount of fish food he was holding in his hand was poured into the water without paying attention. It swallows water and eats food while opening thin lips.The tumbling red fish splashed water by the lake and wet the shore. When Zhao Ningzhang was running, he accidentally stepped on the slippery ground, and his small body fell into the water uncontrollably. Jiang Minzhi by his side quickly pushed Zhao Ningzhang away, but because of his unstable center of gravity, he fell into the lake, frightening the fish that were eating and running away.

Jiang Minzhi's water skills are very good. After falling into the water, he quickly mastered his balance and even swam in the water. He grabbed a fish with a long forearm beside him and threw it to the shore with all his strength, "haha, I’ll eat this tonight, I’ll come down, and I’ll touch some snails and mussels, I want to eat them all.” In the water, I took off the clothes that got in the way, rolled them up and threw them to the shore, and took them with me. The water clothes threw a lot of water droplets in the air, splashing the heads and faces of the people on the shore.

"Oh, I made Hou Ye laugh." Jiang Haozhi frowned helplessly. With such a fellow brother, he had nothing to say.

"Hehe." Du Jinrong stood aside holding Xiaozhang, and smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth pulled, "Your younger brother is also really temperamental."

Jiang Minzhi in the water is flexible and flexible, disappearing from the surface of the water for a while and diving into the water, and then coming out from the bottom of the water and appearing on the shore. There are already attendants waiting on the shore to meet him. Of course, some people jumped into the water according to Jiang Minzhi's request.The seemingly calm lake suddenly lost its tranquility, the red carp slapped the water anxiously, and the family of black swans in the distance also spread their wings and flew further, lifting their graceful curved necks to watch the big noise in the water from a distance. Motionless human beings.

"When this lake was first built, it was used as a fish pond. There were many things in it, such as shrimps, crabs, snails, mussels, and many more. Hou Ye will try the special food of Yuezhou later, which is no better than that of the capital. Poor." The food in Yuezhou is a little bit sweet, and it is mainly light and refreshing, which should be suitable for most people.

Du Jinrong turned to look at Jiang Haozhi beside him, "Aren't you in a hurry to let me see daddy?"

"I've been waiting for so many years, this is not too late." Jiang Haozhi smiled lightly, "Master Hou just woke up and his body is not recovering very well, he should take a rest."

"Maybe it's because you still have a lot of preparations to make, such as me." Du Jinrong raised his hands up, telling Zhao Ningzhang, who was twisting on his body and about to go down, to be more honest, "That's my father, I It will be saved, you don't need to worry about this, and you don't need to use your brain to persuade me, then, after all, he is my father. But I have the right to know, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Master Hou." Jiang Haozhi yelled, and then stopped talking, his eyes followed Jiang Minzhi's figure in the lake, his Adam's apple slipped, and he heard his own voice saying: "Master Hou, do you still remember Diansha?"

"Yeah." Du Jinrong frowned, not understanding why Jiang Haozhi suddenly mentioned this.

"It's like this. Diansha is highly poisonous to outsiders, but it is a good medicine for the bereaved. Compared with ordinary people, the body of bereaved people is not only different in that men can give birth, but also in physical fitness. Yes, whether it is a pure-blood survivor or a half-blood survivor, their health is very poor. Of course, the half-blood survivors are much better. The survivors have defects in their physical talents. After the research of the ancestors, they found some Sha, implanted in the body in early childhood, will gradually improve the body of the survivors, and at the same time, if close relatives, especially parents and children, are seriously ill, each other's blood is the best medicine."

The sound of the splashing water suddenly became extremely loud, and even the sound of the light wind blowing past the ears was extremely clear. Because of the silence, the senses became very sensitive, and it was easy to capture the movement of external objects, but this quietness It was short-lived, and the wonderful feeling disappeared quickly. Du Jinrong's eyes regained their focus, but they seemed empty, overflowing with a trace of sadness and inexplicable complexity, "I'm a little bit mad, it was arranged by you."

"No, no..." The first negation, Jiang Haozhi said very straightforwardly, but then the second negation became muddy, hesitant, and his voice was much, much softer.Jiang Haozhi lowered his head, his head was spinning for a while, it wasn't dizziness, but the emotion of confession made him tense, and his breathing became slightly short of breath, "Master Hou, Jinrong, listen to me, things are not what you think , Yes, the king of Beiding got some evil spirits, and we didn't expect him..."

"Hmph." Du Jinrong smiled coldly, and suddenly felt the child hugging his neck. The soft feeling made him not want to talk about it anymore, so he said indifferently: "Let's not talk about it, I don't want to talk about it with the child." Say this in front of you."

"...Okay." Zhao Ningzhang's curious eyes were very clean. Under his gaze, Jiang Haozhi felt ashamed and ashamed.

The itinerary was not as planned at the beginning, eat dinner early, and leave after dinner, otherwise you can rush to the bereaved family's land in less than two hours.The weather was unpredictable, and the afternoon sun was still so bright. In the evening, a thick cloud floated over, and fine rain began to float. In less than half an hour, the rain became heavier and torrential. It is not wise to travel in this kind of weather, and the road is slippery in rainy days, so it is very unsafe to go to the bereaved family's land.

The dinner is very sumptuous, mainly Yuezhou cuisine, which is light but delicious. Steamed meat with glutinous rice, steamed sea bass, sweet and sour pork ribs, fried shredded eel, braised crucian carp, etc., make people happy just looking at them.In addition, there are dishes with strong flavors, such as spicy fried snails, fermented bean curd and pig's trotters, etc. The dishes with their own merits are slowly placed on the table, and Zhao Ningzhang is the happiest among the people sitting together.

While eating, he asked Du Jinrong suspiciously, "Daddy, why did they arrest us for nothing? Why haven't father and younger brother found us yet?"

"Father and younger brother will come to look for us." Du Jinrong picked up a piece of pig's trotter, which is from the sole of the pig's foot. The skin is thick and elastic, and there is a layer of tender meat inside, and the piece that sticks to the bone is still crispy For the rotten tendons, he took out the two thin bones in the middle, divided the meat into small pieces with chopsticks, dipped them in the rich sauce and put them on Zhao Ningzhang's bone plate.Touching the child's hair, Du Jinrong said softly, "Xiaozhang, we will go home soon, and we can see father and younger brother."

"Yeah." Zhao Ningzhang nodded vigorously, "Daddy, the dishes are delicious, and I will let my father and younger brother eat them, okay?"

"Of course."

Zhao Ningzhang put a piece of pork trotter that Du Jinrong gave him into a spoon, raised his arm and stretched it to Du Jinrong's mouth, looked at Du Jinrong expectantly, "Daddy will eat it too."

Du Jinrong's brows and eyes were full of smiles, it was the first sincere smile she woke up after coming to Yuezhou, "Ahhh." He swallowed the meat that Zhao Ningzhang brought to his mouth in one gulp, made exaggerated noises and moved his cheeks, " The meat that Xiaozhang gave was really delicious."

"Hehe." Zhao Ningzhang smiled happily, narrowed his eyes, and had two bulges of blush on his cheeks, very cute.

Except for the children, several other adults were unable to taste the delicious food on the table, like chewing wax, especially Jiang Yuzhi, who sat opposite Du Jinrong and the children, who were the closest people in his life, but now they have become The person farthest away, whenever Zhao Ningzhang looked at him with curious and doubtful eyes, his heart would twitch. Jiang Yuzhi really wanted to get closer, but he knew it was impossible. Du Jinrong's vigilant gaze was like a sharp knife The knife pierced his heart.

After finishing the meal with no appetite and settling down the children, Du Jinrong stood in front of the window. The window was wide open. It was windy and windy outside. The small part of his body near the window was already drenched by the rain. wet and cool.

Outside the window, it was dark, and the outlines of some objects could be vaguely seen. Against the backdrop of the darkness, the outlines could be imagined as anything, very hideous.Du Jinrong was in a daze for a moment, wondering where Zhao Hengxu was now?Did he know that he was brought to Yuezhou by Jiang Haozhi?How is Xiaoyu?He misses his family members far away very much. This kind of miss is stronger than knowing that his father has returned from the dead, and it occupies most of his heart.As for his father, Du Jinrong's eyes flickered. For many years, he had already confirmed his father's death. From being forced to admit it at the beginning to accepting it calmly later, this fact has been firmly rooted in his heart.

But now, someone suddenly popped up and said that his father is still alive!It was too illusory, Du Jinrong thought it was a dream, an unreal dream, everything would go back to the far point when he woke up.

Will it be like this?

Du Jinrong felt a headache, so she raised her hand and kneaded her temples. Her fingers felt the rainwater on her face, which was wet, slippery, and cold. Suddenly, she felt a hard object with body temperature on her cheek.Du Jinrong lowered his head, and his eyes touched the beige beeswax bracelet on his wrist. Since Zhao Hengxu put it on for him, he never took it off. Zhao Hengxu personally put it on for him, like a testimony.When they are old and passed away, the bracelet will be a witness to everything that happened. It records the little things between the two of them, which makes Du Jinrong feel cherished.

"Your Majesty, where are you?"

On the Lian Mian River, a boat leaned against the shore in the wind and rain, and Zhao Hengxu also looked at the torrential rain outside the window with his hands behind his back, getting closer and closer.

————————————————————————

"Kukou—" Amidst the sound of wind and rain, the knock on the door was not obvious, but it woke Du Jinrong who was in deep thought.Wiping off the rain on his face, he walked over to open the door. Outside the door, Jiang Haozhi was holding a wind lantern, wearing a bamboo hat, coir raincoat, and wooden clogs.

"Master Hou, let's talk, I brought you rain gear." Jiang Haozhi was followed by someone, carrying a full set of rain gear.

Du Jinrong's eyes darkened, and she shook her head, "No, I don't worry about the child."

Jiang Haozhi's smile became a little stiff, and he wanted to say something more, but under Du Jinrong's calm gaze, he no longer insisted on his initial decision, "Then let's chat in the side room? It's next door to the main room, Lord Hou You can take care of your kids anytime."
