After the avatar is reborn

In the third year, Ji Xuerong took Nianqiao out of the palace.

They went to many places, such as the water villages in the south of the Yangtze River, the border of the desert, the dream sea in South Vietnam, and the cliff city by the sea in the east.

Finally went to the edge of Yincheng.

There is a small town on the border with the Hu people. The rolling grassland stretches as far as the eye can see. Nianqiao has been dressed in local costumes.

He wore bright red earrings that hung down slightly, and the sleeves of the Hu people's clothes were very narrow, which made his waist show off.

He and Ji Xuerong lived in the same family.

Nianqiao is pulling fresh grass to feed the dumplings.

Tuanzi road has been depressed, and now it seems to be having a good time, running around in the grass, if it is not holding the rope, maybe it will get in and disappear.

Nianqiao was feeding the dumplings, Ji Xuerong was communicating with the master in the front yard, and there were guards following him.

He once again noticed that his eyes were on him, and turned his head to meet a pair of dark eyes. The masked man collided with his eyes, and quickly looked away, continuing to help the host with the horse.

The host's wife noticed it, and said to Nianqiao: "He is dumb and can't speak. We rescued him in the border town three years ago. He was blind in one eye, half of his appearance was ruined, and he didn't even know who he was. remembered."

"The handkerchief I carry with me has blue characters on it. My husband's family is kind-hearted, so they took him in and let him work under him."

"Don't look at him like this, he does things very neatly, and he can finish the horse hay needed by the racecourse in one day."

"Lan?" Nian Qiao didn't think too much, not to mention that there are so many words for "Lan".

Originally, Lan was taciturn, and his eyes looked very deep, and he had been staring at him since he came over.

Nianqiao was a little uncomfortable being stared at, he called the other person's name, there was emotion in the man's eyes, he seemed a little embarrassed, he closed his eyes and continued to tidy up the mess.

His attention was only divided for a moment, and soon Ji Xuerong came back after talking about the matter.

Ji Xuerong looks better in the clothes of the Hu tribe, anyway he likes it very much, especially when Rongrong wears earrings, she looks like a fairy.

"Third brother!" Nianqiao was not presumptuous in front of outsiders, he only tugged on Ji Xuerong's sleeve, his eyes were slightly bright, and he said happily, "Can we go ride a horse?"

He can't ride, but Ji Xuerong can take him.

Ji Xuerong nodded slightly and asked him, "Then shall we go to town tomorrow?"

Nianqiao said yes, and his wife gave him goat milk cake, the taste here is extraordinarily pure.He gave two pieces to Ji Xuerong, and went to pick horses with Ji Xuerong.

Her gaze followed that figure until she could no longer see anyone, but Lan still hadn't looked back.

When Nianqiao came back from riding the horse, he limped when he walked down, his leg hurt from the horse's back, and it was very uncomfortable through the clothes. He pursed his mouth, a little unhappy.

"I'll carry you?" Ji Xuerong asked him.

Nianqiao didn't want to talk to others, he glanced at Ji Xuerong, and chose to walk back by himself.

When I returned to the yard, I ran into Lan. Lan had just put the horses in place. He stayed with the horses all day, and it was rare that he didn't have those bad smells on his body.

Lan's eyes paused slightly on his neck and walking posture, and passed him by with the horse straw in his arms.

At night, someone outside his room brought him something.

Nianqiao opened the door, and there was a bottle of wound medicine and a plate of milk cakes.

Only Ji Xuerong gave him something, maybe Fang Dingrong sent it over, why put it directly at the door for him?

Ask Fang Dingrong again tomorrow.

Nianqiao brought in the milk cake and ointment, applied the medicine on himself, and the milk cake was eaten clean.

He fell asleep with the quilt in his arms, and vaguely realized that his ankle was being held, and Ji Xuerong's voice rang in his ears.

"Have you taken any medicine?"

When Nianqiao heard the familiar breath, he subconsciously got into Ji Xuerong's arms, answered vaguely, and rubbed Ji Xuerong with the corner of his lips.

Ji Xuerong checked again, wiped off the mess on the Nian Bridge with a handkerchief, and helped Nian Bridge go up again.

Nian Qiao slept soundly in his arms, hugging his waist and refused to let go, his fingers moved slightly, Nian Qiao pressed his fingers.

A soft ball, Ji Xuerong leaned over slightly, and kissed the little sticky man's forehead.

They were going to stay here for a while, when Nianqiao woke up the next day, Ji Xuerong disappeared again.

He rubbed his eyes and went out, and saw Ji Xuerong milking goats in the courtyard, he likes to eat food made of goat milk on weekdays.

The master was teaching Ji Xuerong, and Ji Xuerong helped break the leg of the goat behind him. He was not very skilled, so he was kicked by the goat baa.

When Ji Xuerong turned his head, he met Nianqiao who was looking at him. Nianqiao had done this kind of work before, and when he came to Ji Xuerong's side, he looked at Ji Xuerong again.

"Third brother, don't talk like that, she will get angry."

Nianqiao squatted down, touched the goat's head, and showed Ji Xuerong a demonstration, successfully milked half a bucket of goat milk.

After learning for a while, Ji Xuerong was kicked several times, and that pretty face was swept by the tail, stained with some wool.

Nianqiao patted Ji Xuerong on the side, and patted off the sheep's hoof prints on it.

"Third brother is not suitable for this kind of thing, so don't learn it." Nian Qiao touched Ji Xuerong's face, don't kick him in the face, Ji Xuerong's face is so pretty.

The line of Ji Xuerong's lips was slightly stretched, and she finished milking the goat's milk consistently, but it took a little longer.

While Ji Xuerong was milking the goat, Nianqiao went to see Tuanzi, Tuanzi was next to the pony, and when he passed by, he ran into Lan again.

Lan's daily work is very boring, mainly in charge of the horse farm. When Nianqiao came over, Lan was tying horse hay and had just finished the morning work.

He was wearing coarse clothes, which were stained with a lot of grass clippings and mud, and his hands were tied with grass. One finger was broken, so he could only wear finger protectors every day.

After Nianqiao came over, he subconsciously hid the broken finger, the dust on the back of his hand rubbed against his clothes, his eyes averted slightly, and he froze in place.

His image is really not very good.

Nianqiao just glanced at Lan, he knelt down and touched the dumpling's head, there is no need to prepare fresh grass for the dumpling here, just tie a rope, the dumpling can eat any grass.

He noticed grass clippings on the dumpling, and wiped the dumpling clean with a handkerchief.

After wiping Tuanzi, Fang Dingrong came over to call him, but he threw away his handkerchief.

"Fang Dingrong, what did you do yesterday?" The gift was placed directly at the door, and he wanted to grab Fang Dingrong's ear.

Fang Dingrong replied: "I was with my third brother yesterday."

Of course he knew that Fang Dingrong and Ji Xuerong were together, and this guy was talking nonsense every day.

Nian Qiao didn't say anything, just snatched Fang Dingrong's milk cake on the way back to make Fang Dingrong hungry.

"We've been out for so long, we don't know what's going on with Ji Yan."

Ji Yao was very sensible. He bought a lot of things for Ji Yao on Nianqiao Road and planned to bring them back to Ji Yao.

Ji Xuerong said: "With Xu Nongying and the two Taifu watching him, he should not be able to finish his homework."

Nianqiao was a little unhappy, as Ji Xuerong was a father, and he was so strict with the child, he didn't consider Ji Yan was just a child at all.

He couldn't make any sense with Ji Xuerong, so he stopped talking. Today, he had two servings of milk cakes, and Fang Dingrong would not complain if he bullied Fang Dingrong. Nianqiao stuffed the milk cakes into his mouth.

He was very happy to be able to go to town in a while.

"Lan, do you want to pay your wages in advance?"

Lambi gestured for the amount to be paid in advance.He used to earn less wages, and he ate and drank here on weekdays, so he didn't need any money.

The other party was also very generous to Lan, and the money was given to Lan.

"The silver should be hidden well, so as not to be targeted by pickpockets."

Nianqiao and Ji Xuerong went to the street in the town. Most of the products sold here were dairy products, which were very sweet, such as milk skin milk wine toffee, and powder made from goat milk.

He likes goat's milk, and Ji Yan also likes it very much. Nianqiao bought a lot, and Fang Dingrong held all the things in his hands.

"Third brother, I'm tired from walking, you carry me on your back."

Ji Xuerong also took a lot of things in her hands, and handed them to the guard beside her when she heard this.

Nian Qiao lay on Ji Xuerong's back, he swayed his legs slightly, took the toffee from Fang Dingrong's hand, filled it into his mouth, and there was a milky smell between his lips and teeth.

From his angle, he could see Ji Xuerong's side face, and he kissed Ji Xuerong's cheek.

After going back in the evening, Nianqiao found some things outside his room, those he had bought during the day, the amount was very large.

This time he guessed that maybe it wasn't sent by Fang Dingrong.

Nianqiao thought for a while, and a human face appeared in his mind. He inquired with his servants, and went outside Lan's room.

He knocked on the door, and the door of the room opened, facing a face tightly covered by a mask.

"Did you send these over?"

Nianqiao could see the furnishings in the room, which were very simple, only a bed and a table.

Lan seemed a little at a loss, looked down at him slightly, and the fingers on his side were slightly tensed.

"Don't give them away in the future, I don't lack these things." Nianqiao thought for a while and said, "You should save the money to buy things for yourself."

He saw that Lan himself seemed to be living very poorly. They just met once, and it was really not worth spending money on him.

Lan stood there for quite a while, he couldn't speak, it must be because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was a little dry, and the hoarse voice was struggling to squeeze out of his throat.

"...Don't go."

The voice was too soft, the people in front didn't hear it, and the figure quickly disappeared from sight.

Something happened that night, they were targeted by rogues, and many robbing rogues broke into the merchant's house at night.

In the chaos, Nianqiao hid behind Fang Dingrong with his tuanzi in his arms.

The rogues had already set their sights on this horse dealer, and there were a lot of people who came, Nianqiao saw that he was not good at kung fu, and several rogues specifically targeted him.

When a sword shadow fell, Fang Dingrong was about to turn around when a figure flashed out from the side, and the sword pierced Lan's heart.

Nianqiao was slightly stunned, he also saw many things along the way, when he met those eyes, some inexplicable emotions welled up in his heart.

Blood spurted out, Lan's fingers twitched slightly, and something splashed on Nianqiao's hand.

With warm tears, Nianqiao stood there for a long time without recovering.

"Qiaoqiao...Qiaoqiao."

Nianqiao came back to his senses, he had fallen to the ground, he was still wearing a mask when he died, his severed finger was covering the position of his heart, his clothes were splashed with dark blood.

Hidden under the heart is a handkerchief embroidered with the word Lanyou.

……

Nianqiao got on the carriage for the return journey, they were far away from the endless desert, the long sky clouds and smoke dissipated by the window, he was fascinated by the scenery outside the window.

"Your Highness, why did he save me?"

Ji Xuerong said to him, "Maybe it's because Qiaoqiao is like his old friend."

His head was patted, someone would feel guilty for dying for himself, his life was saved, he would be more careful in the future, and thank that benefactor in his heart.

Nianqiao's attention was diverted after returning to the palace. In the new year, the daughter of the palace opened.

He picked a few plants on the road, holding the thousand golden branches, his eyebrows and eyes shining brightly against the red medicinal flowers.

"Ji Yao, I want to test your homework, what is the next line when you read the red medicine by the bridge?"

"Empress mother, sons and servants know... who gave birth every year."

After the end, there will be an episode of the previous life IF line, if Nianqiao has not been reborn, and the love affair with His Highness the Prince.
