Rebirth of Tao Yao

When Yan Li came to find him, the first thing he saw was not the pup who was having fun with Xiao Bai, but Wen Ziran who was guarding the bamboo basket at the entrance of the restaurant.

I haven't seen her for more than half a month, but the little girl still looks calm and gentle.She guarded the bamboo basket, and occasionally a girl who came in and out of the restaurant or passed by would stop and ask a few questions when she saw the beautifully woven knots in her bamboo basket.Wen Ziran chatted with people naturally, talking about the meaning of blessings contained in each of these knots. Some girls like it, so they will pay for one or two, and then leave happily.

Wen Ziran's demeanor was very natural, and some customers didn't realize that she couldn't see at all until they finished shopping and left.

Yan Li watched her sell the knot, and then carefully put the copper coins she got into the purse, with a rare smile on her face full of satisfaction.It is undeniable that Wen Ziran smiled very nicely, but Yan Li still couldn't help frowning slightly—the little girl couldn't see it, but the market in the west of the city was busy, and there were so many people that it would inevitably be chaotic, and she was born like this Okay, what if you come out alone and meet someone bad? !

In his heart, he couldn't help feeling dissatisfied with Scholar Qin Yun again. When Yan Li walked over, he realized that his dog was flopping around with a white dog.The cheerful appearance obviously forgot that he was the master long ago, and also forgot about going home.

Sure enough, this is a stupid dog!

Yan Li once again came to a conclusion in his heart, but seeing that the dog had found Wen Ziran by himself, he had to sigh with emotion.Then he walked over, his slender body blocked the projected sunlight, leaving a small shadow in front of Wen Ziran.

Wen Ziran had noticed it before.Although the street was very lively, people's talking, street vendors' yelling, and dog cubs' barking were all mixed together, but she was still keenly aware of the most familiar footsteps.So when Yan Li just approached, she raised her head, smiled at Yan Li, and then said affirmatively: "Brother."

Before Yan Li could speak, she looked at her in surprise and asked, "How do you know it's me?"

Wen Ziran answered him very calmly: "I heard your footsteps." After a pause, he explained: "Everyone has different walking habits and body shapes, and the sound of footsteps when walking is different."

Yan Li's hearing is also sharper than that of ordinary people, and he can naturally distinguish these subtle differences. However, it is not a matter of one day for him to distinguish a person's footsteps.What's more, there were so many people coming and going on the street at this time, so many footsteps accompanied the noise on the street, it was really not easy for Wen Ziran to recognize his footsteps all at once.

Maybe in Wen Ziran's heart, they are already familiar with each other, so she will remember his footsteps?

For some reason, Yan Li was inexplicably a little happy thinking about it like this.But after he was happy, he didn't forget what he cared about before. Since the little girl called him brother, don't blame him for meddling in his own business: "You promised me last time that I wouldn't come out alone again, Today's Dragon Boat Festival, there are so many people on the street, what if you come out alone in case?!"

When the taciturn little general met Miss Wen, his image was ruined in the blink of an eye, and he became fond of naughty thoughts.

In fact, when the two got along in the previous life, Yan Li was always reticent, let alone reminding these "little things" over and over again.Wen Ziran was somewhat not used to this, but in Yan Li's repeated exhortations, there was obvious concern, which made people feel heart-warming.

Wen Ziran likes the elder brother in the previous life, and also likes the elder brother in front of him, even though they are not so similar.After listening to Yan Li's accusation, she explained: "Brother, don't worry, I didn't come alone." She pointed to the restaurant behind her and said, "My mother is working in this restaurant now. I came with her this morning, I was selling knots at the restaurant, and she also asked the second brother to help watch."

Yan Li probed into the restaurant, but there were quite a lot of customers in the not-so-big restaurant, and the shop waiter was running around with a tray, busy all the time.However, Yan Li noticed that the waiter in the shop glanced outside the door when he was serving the food, and when he saw him standing beside Wen Ziran, he took a second look, and when he came back after serving the food, he looked at him again, presumably he was really helpful.

This time Wen Ziran was wronged, Yan Lizheng was a little embarrassed, and it happened that another girl came to see Wen Ziran's knot at this time, so he consciously stepped aside.It wasn't until Wen Ziran successfully sold two more knots and harvested ten copper coins that Yan Li said, "You came out to sell these today, is it because your family is short of money?"

The little general has always been straightforward, this is really not polite at all, another girl might be annoyed on the spot if she hears his words like this, but Wen Ziran has experienced a lot in his previous life, obviously he doesn't care about these small things anymore.

Without waiting for Yan Li to repent, she nodded frankly and said: "My late father has passed away, A Niang and I will continue to live. We have no foundation in this city, we can only rely on A Niang to work in a restaurant to support our family. I can't help much, and I can only think of these ways to subsidize the family."

Yan Li has never been short of money—before he was found by Yan Qing, he had no need for money, and after being found by Yan Qing, the General’s Mansion would naturally not be short of money—but he is not insensible , and only money is important, and immediately gave a self-conscious and reliable suggestion: "Actually, your mother's pastries are excellent, and they are rare in border towns. Instead of helping restaurants, you might as well open a pastry shop yourself."

Speaking of Wen's pastries, Yan Li can almost recall the sweetness of the pastries back then.It's a pity that those pastries were not bought, but made by Qin Yunshu himself.Yan Li felt that he was not very familiar with the Wen family's mother and daughter, so he was naturally embarrassed to always go to other people's homes to buy pastries, not to mention avoiding suspicion... If Qin Yunshu really opened a pastry shop, it would be good for him to buy and eat !

The little general had a good idea, but Wen Ziran didn't immediately agree. After all, opening a shop is not a trivial matter, and it can't be decided by the two of them in a few words.And the most important question, I don't know how much money is left in the family, and can't afford to open a pastry shop?

Yan Li was a little disappointed by this, but his temperament would not persuade him too much, so he didn't say any more.

Wen Ziran suddenly asked: "Brother, did you come out to play today, did staying here for a long time delay you?"

Yan Li hurriedly waved his hands, then remembered the purpose of this trip, pointed to the black puppy who seemed to have not noticed his arrival at all, and said: "No, I'm here to look for a dog." After a pause, he said: " I said I wanted to find you a pup before, but I delayed it for a long time. I don’t think it came to look for you by itself. It’s just here... do you want this pup?”

Seeing the white dog having fun with the black dog, Yan Li frowned slightly, feeling a little displeased in his heart.But he also understood that he had delayed for too long, no wonder Wen Ziran raised another one, so he could only ask this question.

Wen Ziran obviously couldn't see it, but she seemed to be able to understand Yan Li's concern and entanglement, she said with a smile: "Of course I want it, I dare not disappoint my brother's kindness." ran over together.

Now the black pup didn't pretend he didn't see his master anymore, it simply pretended that he couldn't see his master, ignoring Yan Li, and kept leaning close to Wen Ziran's feet to please him.The small-eyed look obviously wanted to follow the little sister, and he didn't want to talk to the owner who didn't care about it and ravaged it from time to time on weekdays.

Seeing this, Yan Li secretly ground her teeth, suddenly she didn't want to give the pup to Wen Ziran.It's not that he is reluctant, but that the pup is so stupid that he feels it's a bit embarrassing to give it away.And the pup doesn't recognize its owner, what if Wen Ziran develops feelings for him after raising him for a long time, what if he turns around and is hooked up by other people or dogs and runs away? !

But before Yan Li could repent, Wen Ziran bent down and petted the two dogs, then hugged Xiaobai, handed it to Yan Li and said, "Brother, I also know that my family can't afford two dogs now." I don’t know if brother can raise Xiaobai for me first?”

The Wen family is actually not so poor that they can't even afford a dog, but Yan Li doesn't know.He was so happy to see Wen Ziran earning a few pennies, and thought that the Wen family was so poor that it was almost impossible to get rid of it. Although he was slightly startled when he heard this, he did not refuse Wen Ziran's proposal, and took over the new one who wags its tail when it sees him. Puppy—this pup was as unafraid of him as his master.

Yan Li casually stroked Xiao Bai's hair, for some reason, he liked him a little more than his own pup.

Although Wen Ziran couldn't see this scene, he could also sense that Yan Li didn't resist Xiaobai.There seemed to be another connection between the two, which made her feel a little joyful.Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Wen Ziran took out another item from his sleeve and handed it over, "Brother, this is for you."

Yan Li looked up, but saw Wen Ziran holding a knot.This knot is complicated but also exquisite and beautiful, and it is different from those in the bamboo basket that are made of colored rope. This knot is only made of red rope, and it can be seen that it is specially prepared.

Yan Li heard a few words when Wen Ziran was selling knots before, and he knew that these knots are the characteristics of Wen Ziran's hometown, and each knot made with different techniques has different meanings.So when he took the knot, he asked, "What is the meaning of this knot?"

Wen Ziran saw that he took it, and immediately smiled with eyebrows crooked: "It's just for blessing, I wish brother good health and everything goes smoothly."

This is the most common blessing, after Yan Li listened to it, he was no doubt there, and he would put it away after thanking him.But I heard Wen Ziran say: "This knot can be worn on the waist or on the hands. I will put it on for brother."

Yan Li had nothing to do but handed back the knot, and let Wen Ziran tie it on his wrist for him.
