Rebirth of Tao Yao

Wen Ziran's Jiji ceremony was very ordinary. Although Qin Yunshu did not forget this important day, for ordinary people, he did not have the habit of making a fuss about it.So on this day, Wen Ziran only received two gifts from Yan Li and her mother, and then enjoyed a big meal in the evening, and her 15th birthday passed by so unsaltedly.

Early the next morning, Wen Ziran waited in the courtyard as usual, waiting for Xiaobai and the letter to arrive.

Yes, Wen Ziran didn't wait for the new wooden hairpin anymore, because she suddenly realized that the wooden hairpin that had been sent for many days before was probably just for yesterday's one as a birthday present.Now that her birthday has passed, the wooden hairpin given by Yan Li yesterday has been made exquisite enough, and there is really no need to continue giving it today.

As for why the wooden hairpin was given every day before the birthday ceremony, so there was no surprise when I received the hairpin yesterday... Wen Ziran raised his hand and touched the wooden hairpin on the bun, thinking that it was probably because Yan Li didn't want his efforts to be in vain. Everyone knows how much effort she has put in, how many hairpins she has carved, and she wants Wen Ziran to know every bit of progress—sometimes this person is straightforward, but sometimes he is also scheming.

Thinking of this, Wen Ziran pursed her lips and couldn't help showing a little smile, dimples appeared on her cheeks.

In early autumn, the bright sun is still scorching the earth, and the warm sun in the morning gradually becomes hotter.Sitting in the shade of the pear tree, Wen Ziran can also feel the temperature of the sun gradually rising from the sunlight falling from the branches and leaves.

For the blind, time is difficult to judge, but even in darkness, the gradually rising temperature around is enough to prove the passage of time.Wen Ziran stretched out her hand, and spread her white and delicate palm upwards, receiving the bright sunshine that fell on the sky and the earth——she quickly judged from the hot temperature felt in her palm that it should be at least noon by now.

Unknowingly, Wen Ziran waited all morning, but Xiao Bai, who used to come and scratch the door on time, didn't come today.She inevitably felt lost, but she was not the only one who was lost. Xiao Hei, who was lying at her feet at some point, was also staring at the courtyard door, obviously waiting for something.

There is no need to give gifts, so even Xiaobai won't come over?

Wen Ziran couldn't help thinking this way, feeling lost and at the same time feeling a little bit at a loss, but what was more at a loss was panic——Yan Li hadn't visited the door for a long time, if even Xiaobai didn't come, would the connection between them be true? Are you going to cut it off? !

Before Wen Ziran could think more wildly, there was another sound of dog paws scratching the door from the direction of the courtyard door.She was slightly taken aback, but Xiao Hei was the one who reacted faster than her, and saw a black shadow jumping out from her feet, running to the back of the courtyard door and yelling "Wow, woof" outside the door. Standing up to pull the door panel, the whole person looked desperate.

Of course, the underage Xiao Hei's stature is obviously not enough, and no matter how hard he pulls on the door panel, he can't open the latch to let the dog in.In the end, Wen Ziran got up and walked over, opened the courtyard door and let in a frisky puppy.

Xiaobai was warmly welcomed by Xiaohei because he was late. The two dogs fluttered together, but they were a little closer than before, and they had already forgotten the owner next to them.

However, after Wen Ziran closed the courtyard door, he asked the pup seriously, "Xiaobai, why are you here so late today?"

The pup can't speak human words, so of course he can't answer.After Xiaobai heard Wen Ziran calling him, he just wagged his tail, and obediently moved to her lap as usual, and let Wen Ziran fumble to get the things on its collar.

Sure enough, there was no wooden hairpin on the collar, but Wen Ziran accidentally touched a kit that was not too big or too small.After taking some effort to untie it, I opened it and saw that besides the letter paper, there was a palm-sized wood carving inside, which could be easily grasped with closed palms.

Wen Ziran was puzzled, he didn't know what this wood carving was for a while, why did Yan Li change this wood carving to send her?However, just like when she received the wooden hairpin before, she didn't rush to read the letter, but carefully groped for the small wood carving in her hand, and soon found out that the small wood carving, which was only the size of a palm, was actually a small wood carving. portrait.It's just that she couldn't tell who it was, the wood carving was too small for a while.

But why did Hao Duan Duan carve a portrait for her?

Wen Ziran was a little puzzled, and what made her even more puzzled was that this portrait was not like the wooden hairpin before. From the beginning, it was simple to gradually refined, and it took more than ten or twenty hairpins to usher in the final exquisite finished product.This portrait seems to be very delicate, if she can see it, maybe she can recognize who it is at a glance!

Putting away the exquisite portrait with doubts, Wen Ziran took out the letter that came with her, and she fumbled carefully to identify the handwriting on the paper.The four words were written in the same thick ink as yesterday on the paper, and it didn't take much time to recognize them, but after reading it yesterday, it suddenly dawned on me, but today's four words made Wen Ziran completely stunned.

After a long time, Wen Ziran picked up the little statue and touched it again. This time she felt a small "Li" character under the right foot of the little statue.

****************************************************************************

Yan Li has been obsessed with woodcarving lately, and even his martial arts are a bit neglected.The general's mansion would send some wood to her yard every day, and the amount of wood obviously couldn't be used up with a single hairpin.Therefore, although Miss Wen can receive a wooden hairpin every day, Yan Li carves far more than that. She just picks out the best one she makes every day and sends it to Xiaobai.

Of course, in addition to the wooden hairpin, Yan Li also did some "private work" to practice, the most attentive of which was carving herself in front of the bronze mirror - the little general felt that maybe one day she would be able to send this wooden "self" away!

Wen Ziran is considered an adult once the ceremony of Jiji is over, it is too early for a 15-year-old girl to discuss marriage, Yan Li always remembers Yan Qing's good plan that day.Thinking about Aunt Wen's misunderstanding and rejection of him, and thinking about the little girl's behavior of hiding in the room when she heard him yesterday, when Li was defeated, a strong sense of crisis and urgency rose in her heart.

So she hesitated again and again, she wrote a note and gave it to the woodcarving, choosing to put all her eggs in one basket before her own father did it...

Xiaobai's late arrival this morning is precisely because Yan Li hesitated too much time, but when a desperate decision is made, the little general will never choose to back down.She went out after the puppy, because these days are too quiet, General Yan's ban has already passed.Yan Li went out from the gate of the General's Mansion smoothly, and just as he went out, he happened to see the courtyard door of the Wen's next door open, and Xiao Bai ran in.

Yan Li didn't stop Wen Ziran who opened the door, but waited until the other side closed the courtyard door, and then walked lightly towards Wen's small courtyard.She knew that Wen Ziran had good hearing, and was inexplicably always able to detect her arrival at the first time, but today Yan Li didn't want to be discovered by the other party so quickly, so she approached on tiptoe through the courtyard wall.

Finally, without disturbing Wen Ziran, Yan Li secretly climbed onto the wall of Wen's house.

People are often the most real when they are alone, so Yan Li climbed the wall to see Wen Ziran's most real reaction after reading the letter, but when she really climbed on the wall of the little girl's house, she would have a tendency to do bad things unexplainable shame.

Shame is real shame, nervousness is real nervous, but excitement is real excitement.

Yan Li stared at Wen Ziran's every move with burning eyes.She watched her take out the portrait, watched her groping for her little portrait, and watched her take out the letter paper with her own heart on it, and read it carefully, until finally she was so shocked that she froze.

The snow-white white teeth bit his lower lip tightly, and the little general's fingers on the wall unconsciously tightened and then tightened, leaving a few not deep and not shallow marks on the dirt wall.At the same time, her heartbeat became faster in an instant, as if she was about to fly out of her chest with a "plop" and "plop" - she stared at Wen Ziran, not wanting to see the disgust on the face of the girl she liked.

Fortunately, no.

The shock on Wen Ziran's face was obvious, but other than that, she didn't seem to have any disgust. She didn't even frown.It was just that he was stunned for a long time after he understood what was written in the letter, and finally picked up the small portrait and began to fumble.

Yan Li's eyes gradually lit up, and there was an urge to climb over the wall and enter in her heart - she didn't know whether Wen Ziran would accept her, but on the premise that she knew her identity, her letter did not let her Show disgust, and it proves that everything is still up for grabs.And as long as there is hope, the little general is never afraid of challenges!

It seemed that even God had noticed Yan Li's impulsiveness and hesitation, when the two puppies who were playing and biting looked up, they happened to see Yan Li who was leaning half of his body against the wall.Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, but Xiao Bai saw his master by accident, but immediately ran over, yelling "Wow, woof".

The two puppies are usually very well-behaved, and they don't bark loudly when they have nothing to do, let alone such excited barks.Therefore, Wen Ziran noticed something different when she heard it, she frowned subconsciously, and turned her head nervously to "look" in the direction where Yan Li was.

Once again peeping exposed and being caught, the little general was not as flustered as yesterday.Her black eyes were shining brightly, and she pressed and supported the wall with both hands, and she flipped up the wall lightly, and then jumped into the small courtyard neatly.

Wen Ziran had already heard the sound of footsteps falling over the wall, but he didn't recognize anyone under the flustered state, so he asked Yan Li for the first time, "Who's there?"

Yan Li felt a little disappointed when she heard this, but after she realized this, she felt that she was hypocritical.Quickly clearing up her mood, she replied: "It's me." After she finished speaking, she walked towards Wen Ziran and walked up to an arm's length in front of the girl, then stopped, and said: "I miss you, come and see look at you."

The little general was always outspoken, but Wen Ziran couldn't help being startled when he heard her words, then stood up abruptly and took half a step back.The girl kicked the chair with her heel and dragged it backward with a soft sound. At the same time, the white letter paper that was originally on her lap fell from her body and fluttered to the ground.

There were four words written on the paper flying and dancing, and at this moment, Yan Li mustered up the courage to say it softly: "I am happy with you."
