Time travel without cheats

After that night, Ran Xiaole really never saw Xiao An again.

He didn't play tricks, because he knew that Fang Jin was absolutely serious this time, and there was no room for accommodation.

It's just that I miss it so much, I still can't help but want to find that little figure who has been following behind me all the time.

After all, after 20 years of muddling around, no one has ever been as unwilling to give up as this child.

"elder brother…"

"Xiao An!"

Ran Xiaole turned her head abruptly and rubbed her eyes vigorously. Apart from the whirling bamboo shadows, there was no sound at all?He laughed at himself, "Is it a hallucination again?"

He sighed and returned to the room listlessly.

Fang Jin didn't treat him badly, it could even be said that he was more respectful. Ran Xiaole had never enjoyed this kind of presidential treatment in his life.The huge mountain view house is warm in winter and cool in summer, with bamboo forests curling up outside and clear water in the courtyard, he can move around at will, and there are special people to watch... No, in the words of Pavilion Master Fang, it is guarding.All the servants in Tianxiang Pavilion respected him, and even Ling Qi, who only served Fang Jin, was sent to take care of him and chat with him for a while, so as not to suffocate this chatterbox to death.

Although Ran Xiaole was almost the only one talking from the beginning to the end.

"Brother Ran."

Ran Xiaole raised his head from his arms, and saw that paralyzed face walking in with a food box, he hummed casually, "I said Ling Qi, did I ask you to talk to Fang Jin last time?" , get someone else to deliver my meal?"

"Brother Ran, don't call the Pavilion Master by his name directly."

"I..." Ran Xiaole grinned with a hideous smile, "Okay, I see, did you say it?"

"said."

"And then? Why are you here again?"

"The pavilion master said that my temper is too boring, I need to annoy Brother Ran, maybe it will change."

Ran Xiaole slapped the table, pointed at her nose and glared at him, "I'm bothering you? Talking to you rotten wood is better than playing with the sparrows in the yard! At least they know how to squeak!"

"Brother Ran said so." Ling Qi arranged the food in the food box expressionlessly, and handed him chopsticks with both hands, "Don't be angry, it's Ling Qi's fault, let's eat first."

Ran Xiaole was too lazy to confront him, and grabbed the chopsticks from his hand, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet."

"Let's eat together then."

Ling Qi nodded slightly, "Brother Ran is a distinguished guest of the pavilion master, Ling Qi is just a servant, he can't..."

"Stop it, stop it! I'm about to recite it!" Ran Xiaole curled her lips, pointing the tip of her chopsticks at the chair, "Then I order you to sit down for me and eat with me, or I'll find Fang Jin...uh , Pavilion Master Fang sued, saying that you were disobedient and asked him to spank your ass!"

Ling Qi hesitated for a moment, then sat down awkwardly, picked up a bowl of rice, and started eating.

"Don't just eat, it's so tasteless!" Ran Xiaole picked up a big chopsticks for Ling Qi's sweet and sour fish, "Eat this, this is delicious."

"Brother Ran, I will come by myself..."

"Shut up, spank!" Ran Xiaole waved her arms, "You can eat as soon as I tell you, why are there so many nonsense!"

Ling Qi was stunned for a moment, and obediently ate up the fish in the bowl, "Many, thank you."

"You're welcome." Ran Xiaole smiled, and brought another bowl full of vegetables for him, and didn't stop until he pushed a small hill, "Eat it, you and my Xiaoan have the same problem, you have to be served."

"Ling Qi dare not!"

"Yo Yo Yo! I'm joking!" Seeing him pleading guilty tremblingly, perhaps because he hadn't seen the child for a long time, it was inevitable that he would feel empathy, Ran Xiaole felt a pain in his heart, "Ling Qi, how old are you?"

"eighteen."

"What? For example... the Pavilion Master is two years older! Why are you so afraid of him?"

Ling Qi put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said respectfully, "It's not fear, it's respect."

"Respectfully?"

Ling Qi nodded, "The pavilion master treats me with kindness and kindness."

Ran Xiaole's eighth mother-in-law suddenly became fit, moved the chair to his side, and tugged at his sleeves excitedly, "Tell me, tell me."

"say what?"

Ran Xiaole turned his eyelids to the sky, and shouted to the man in blue at the door: "I said Fang Jin, why do you always come at such a good time? I just developed a little relationship with this stupid lump, what are you messing around with?" !"

"That's weird." Fang Jin glanced at Ling Qi with a smile, "Why doesn't the master of this pavilion know who else my family Ling Qi can cultivate any relationship with?"

Ling Qi was startled, and quickly knelt down, "Pavilion Lord, forgive me!"

"Don't bully honest people!" Ran Xiaole hurried over to pull Ling Qi up, but after pulling Ling Qi for a long time, the man didn't move at all. He had no choice but to poke Fang Jin's head, "You should say something!"

Fang Jin has long been accustomed to this man's disrespect, but he really has no temper. He waved his hand, "Forget it, the pavilion master is just joking, Qi, you go, remember to come over at night."

"Yes."

"Hey, let's go after dinner..."

Ling Qi ignored Ran Xiaole's persuasion, without saying a word, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"You..."

"What about me?" Fang Jin casually grabbed the apple on the table, reached into the veil and ate it, "Xiao Le, abandon him and live in loneliness. I don't want to force him to deal with the past."

Ran Xiaole scratched her chin, sat back unhappily, and picked up her chopsticks again, "Okay, I'll just stop talking."

Fang Jin smiled, "Xiao An..."

Ran Xiaole paused and looked at Fang Jin eagerly.

Fang Jin picked up the discarded chopsticks and added some food to his bowl, then said softly and slowly: "He is more talented than I imagined, if he continues like this, within six years, he will surely achieve great success."

"Oh." The child is fine, Ran Xiaole breathed a sigh of relief, "He... he doesn't blame me, does he?"

Fang Jin lowered her eyes, "In the first few months, I was arguing to see you every day, but I stopped talking after that."

"Stop talking?" Ran Xiaole had a sore nose, and said in a hoarse voice, "Forgot about me? Or... are you angry with me?"

"No."

"How do you know? This child has a small mind...and, he has no temperament..."

Fang Jin laughed, "Xiao Le, you didn't tell me, Xiao An will never forget you?"

"I..." Ran Xiaole bit her lips, "That's all words of comfort."

Fang Jin patted him on the shoulder, "Did you give him a... some plate?"

"Pan..." Ran Xiaole suddenly said, "Well, why?"

"That's it." Fang Jin held his fan and smiled, "He hangs that thing around his neck, clutching it every night to fall asleep, do you think he has forgotten you?"

Tears welled up in my eyes, and my heart seemed to be slowly being ground by a blunt knife, oozing with stinging pain.

Ran Xiaole covered her face and sobbed silently.

"Ah Jin, I... I wonder if he... can..." After a long time, Ran Xiaole finally raised his head, his red and swollen eyes looked at Fang Jin pleadingly, "Just, just take a look, don't let him see me... Please ...I kneel down for you..."

"Don't mess around!" Fang Jin pulled him up with a wave of his sleeve, "Xiao Le, you can blame me for being hard-hearted, but I will never allow my success to fall short, even if it is even the slightest possibility, do you understand?"

"Ah Jin, I..." Ran Xiaole grabbed Fang Jin's sleeve, "Then you...can you promise me...don't take away his thought?"

Fang Jin took out her shirt, turned her back to him, and said softly, "Don't worry."

"Many...thanks..."

Ran Xiaole covered her face with her hands, and couldn't restrain herself anymore, sobbing uncontrollably.

Three years later.

Ran Xiaole cried for a long time, and stopped when she was sleepy. Fang Jin stared at the muddy person in front of her, and sighed, "Xiao Le, it's been three years, I thought you should be more or less promising."

"It's not your brother! How do you know that your heart hurts?" Ran Xiaole wiped her tears with the hem of her clothes, and complained, "It's all you! We agreed to learn from each other, why do you want to be cruel!"

"I...I just confiscated it, what are you doing!" Fang Jin rolled up his trouser leg, pointed to his swollen ankle and said, "It's your good brother. We agreed that it was just a swordsmanship competition. You can't fight back at your request, look at my foot, it's been swollen for three days! How can this 13-year-old boy be so vicious!"

"You deserve it! Who told you not to let me see him! Our child is so beautiful, what if he loses his appearance and affects his marriage?"

Fang Jin twitched the corner of her mouth, curled up her little finger and gestured: "Don't worry, really, it's just a little bit of skin scratches. Don't say it's time to marry a wife. I used good white jade ointment to serve him. I guess there is no need for him now." There are traces."

"That's about the same, I forgive you." Ran Xiaole then remembered to show concern for Pavilion Master Fang's bruised white and tender calf. While gloating at others' misfortune, he felt a little pitiful at the same time, and couldn't help laughing through his tears, "I said Pavilion Master Fang Ah, do you think this is called 'the wicked will be punished by the wicked'? Think about it when you were 13 years old, is it retribution, huh?"

"When I was 13 years old, I became a public enemy of martial arts. Although I hadn't mastered kung fu yet, my ability to spread poison had reached its peak. People in the world called 'Poison Boy', a little devil who could be punished by everyone." Fang Jin smiled triumphantly. , "Your brother is still far behind!"

"Blow it and go!" Ran Xiaole snorted softly, "I don't want him to become like you! I just want him to be a good boy, don't be bullied, and don't bully others."

"It's a pity that in this world, if you want not to be bullied, you can only bully others."

Ran Xiaole stared at Fang Jin, "You, living with hatred, aren't you tired?"

Fang Jin was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "I'm tired, but I can't, I can't get rid of it."

"Then you can't use Xiao An!"

Fang Jin was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "Xiao Le, I didn't use him. I only taught him swordsmanship, and I didn't let him touch this sinister skill of extracting poison and making poison."

Ran Xiaole nodded, "Okay, I get it, there's no need to talk about it."

"Well, let's not talk about it." Fang Jin smiled, and suddenly remembered something, and whispered, "In a few days, it will be Xiao An's birthday."

"Birthdate?" Ran Xiaole's smile faltered, "How do you know Xiaoan's real birthday? Even he himself doesn't know!"

Fang Jin was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Xiao Le, I know more than both of you brothers, don't you know this very well?"

"Forget it." Ran Xiaole took a sip of wine and sighed, "When?"

"The eighth day of the winter month."

"The eighth day of the eleventh lunar month?"

Fang Jin frowned, "Xiao Le, why do I always feel that your words are a bit..."

"Ajin, I think it's our tacit understanding that we don't look for each other."

Fang Jin laughed, "Yes, I overstepped the rules. Then, what do you want to say to Xiao An?"

Ran Xiaole supported the chair with both arms, shaking her body aimlessly, "Don't let me see him?"

"Xiao Le, it's been three years, and you still don't give up?"

"I just want to see if you will find out with conscience." Ran Xiaole rolled his eyes at him, "Give him a candied haws."

"Candied haws? That's it?"

"Well. He loves to eat, and he was reluctant to buy it before. Now that he can enjoy himself in Tianxiang Pavilion, let's buy him a bunch. By the way, just buy one bunch is enough. Too much will make him tired, and I'm afraid he won't like it in the future. It's gone." Ran Xiaole slowly looked at Fang Jin, "Ah Jin, it was you who said, you have to look forward to it, you have to look forward to it."

"Okay." Fang Jin smiled and raised his glass to him.

The two are always like this, every time they meet, it starts with enthusiasm and ends silently.

After Fang Jin left, Ran Xiaole drank a large pot of wine by himself, and wept until he was so drunk. He didn't know where Xiao An was hidden by Fang Jin, so he could only touch two glasses by himself, and said with a smirk: "Xiao An, happy birthday."

Fang Jin later told him that when Ran Xiaoan saw the bunch of candied haws, for three years, this proud and stubborn little game cock finally laughed and rarely cried, but he didn't ask or say anything.

Just holding the "plate" with a red string around his neck in his hand, he stared at the moon all night longingly.

The author has something to say:

Xiao An’s real birthday is the eighth day of the winter month that Fang Jin said, and when they met in Chapter 2, the birthday that grandpa said was the day he picked up Xiao An, no contradiction~
