Leaning on the old locust tree, Shao Siyu covered his face and didn't turn over the two pages of anecdotes from the rivers and lakes, closed his eyes and rested his mind, because Qiao Yunxi and Miao Yue went out to collect medicine together, so today the whole small bamboo building is empty. Only Shao Siyu was there.

The early summer sun hits the body warmly through the dense forest, making people feel drowsy. Shao Siyu simply didn't resist his own physiological reaction, and used the book that was originally used to pass the time as a sun hat Just lying comfortably on the big tree and preparing to take a nap for a while.The sound of gurgling water in the mountains and forests, mixed with crisp birdsong, composed an elegant and sweet lullaby, so that Shao Siyu, who originally just wanted to rest for a while, soon fell asleep.

The breeze is blowing slightly, the nose is full of bamboo fragrance, bypassing the calm and wide lake, passing through the lush woods, and from a distance, you can see the small two-story bamboo building half hidden among the ancient trees.The design of the bamboo building is exquisite, and the shape is elegant and elegant without a little free and easy momentum.

Covering his lips lightly with his hand, the majestic old man made a silent gesture to the people around him, and then walked slowly towards the small bamboo building.A group of young people behind him also nodded to each other, carefully lowering the sound of their footsteps and followed.

A swing entwined with flowers and vines hangs quietly under the old locust tree in front of the building. The east corner of the small courtyard is separated by a bamboo fence into a palm-sized area. There are black, white and gray rabbits in captivity. The small ones are no more than two fists in size, and the largest The only one that weighs only three to five catties, and at the moment they are pushing and huddling together, basking leisurely in the sun.

"Why is there no one, Xiao Jiu doesn't seem to be here?"

"Look around!"

Shaoqiulan pulled the eighth sister beside her, and was about to rush into the bamboo building to find someone, but the fourth brother behind him suddenly covered her mouth, "Hush down, it's on the tree!"

After listening to Shao Qiuxiang's words, everyone looked up at the old pagoda tree, and saw a light purple slender figure leaning dangerously on the branch of the tree at a height of three to four meters. , crossed his hands on the nape of his neck with a laid-back look.

"God, so high? Why does she always do such dangerous things?" whispering, Shao Yuran quickly covered his lips, for fear of frightening the people on the tree, then turned to look at his father nervously, " Dad, let them get rid of their smiles, it's too dangerous there!"

"Qiu Yu, Qiu Xiang!" Shao Jingyan frowned, staring at the small lavender figure on the tree branch and beckoning to the two grandchildren beside him, Shao Qiuyu and Shao Qiuxiang looked at each other One glance, and then tacitly jumped up the old locust tree several meters high.

Shao Siyu, who was still dreaming sweet dreams, suddenly felt his head go black, and immediately pinched the book vigilantly and threw it at the opponent as a weapon.Holding the tree trunk with his left hand, Shao Siyu instinctively fought a few tricks with the opponent on the tree before even opening his eyes.Damn it, these guys who want money and life are endless, which one said that she got the wealth that is invincible?When she finds the person who spread the rumors, she must not let it go easily!

Jumping down from the locust tree like a whirlwind, Shao Siyu was firmly grabbed by his right wrist before he could see his opponent clearly, but the strange thing was that she didn't feel the slightest hostility from him.

"The vigilance is not bad!" A familiar voice came from the opposite side, Shao Siyu rubbed his eyes and tried hard to look at the other person's face, his pretty face that was originally full of anger was suddenly tinged with joy.

"Fourth brother!! Why are you here?" The handsome man in front of me is full of joy, who else is not her fourth brother with a natural ice face?

"It seems that it is really not easy to sneak attack on you!" Shao Qiuyu smiled lightly and reached out to rub her black and white hair. "Young girl's skills seem to be getting better and better?"

"Brother, you're here too?" Shouted joyfully, Shao Siyu realized that there were so many more people in his small courtyard?She didn't even notice that there were so many people, this is also called high vigilance?It seems that I have lived a peaceful life for too long, and all my senses have degenerated to a certain extent.

"Not only us, who do you think it is?"

Following the direction of her elder brother's finger, Shao Siyu saw the old man who used to be a god-like existence to her.The same majestic and unsmiling, he is standing only four or five meters away from her with his back to the sun, staring at him for a moment, and there is some warmth in his usual stern eyes that she can't understand And soft, is she dazzled?

"Old... old man..." Shao Siyu murmured, seeing Shaojing slowly walking towards her, she actually had the urge to run away.Is it a dream? Such a dream is too weird, right?

Suddenly thinking of something, he stretched out his hand and touched his bare cheek, Shao Siyu's expression changed slightly, he suddenly turned his back to the oncoming old man and said hastily, "Old man... Qiu Hen didn't know that the old man would come, so Don’t be angry if you don’t have a mask... Qiu Hen... that... there seems to be a towel in the room... that, I..."

Anxiously speaking incoherently, she bit the corner of her lips angrily and bowed her head in silence. Well, she really didn't know what she was talking about...every time she faced the old man, her incomparably clever tongue was useless , all the gorgeous rhetoric became worthless under the oppression of the old man's powerful aura.

The shoulder was lightly pressed by a broad palm, and Shao Siyu couldn't help trembling all over.She swears that she has absolutely no intention of being afraid, it's just a conditional launch.The old man's faint sigh came from his ear, and Shao Siyu was suddenly stunned.Although the old man didn't speak, she could feel his extremely complicated mood at the moment.The big palm on her shoulder was warm, thick and inexplicably made her feel at ease.But there was a sudden urge to cry.

"Go home, how can it be warmer outside than at home?" Shao Jingyan sighed, but his tone was full of concern and pity.Looking at the child who had been away for more than a year, his heart still throbbed.The child has lost weight, and his face, which was not very round before, is now even thinner, which makes people feel distressed.But in more than a year, she turned out to be so pale.

"go home?"

"Yes Xiaojiu, grandpa is here to pick you up, let's go home!" Shao Wushuang cheered and rushed over to hug Shao Siyu, "We have traveled for more than ten days to get to Hangzhou, it was very hard Oh."

"Smile..." Shao Yuran stepped forward with tears in his eyes, holding Shao Siyu's thin melon-seeded face back and forth in distress, "Look, I've lost a lot of weight, and my complexion is not good. Why are you outside?" I don’t even know how to take care of myself, my little aunt will definitely make up for you when I go back!”

"Little aunt, old man, Qiu Hen..." Looking flattered at the caring crowd around him, Shao Siyu stuttered and didn't know what to say. When he glanced at Shaojing Yanshi, he became Awe, cowardice, "I..."

"Stop talking... let's go home..." Feeling distressed, Shao Jingyan awkwardly withdrew the big hand that was about to touch her head, and then looked away in embarrassment and said lightly, "The peach blossoms at home are blooming, Nobody cares about…”

"Grandpa, your excuse is so lame, isn't Bo Lin always taking care of the garden at home, and Xiao Jiu is not a gardener!" Shao Wushuang pouted with a smile, "You don't want Xiao Jiu to just say it, why are you so awkward! "

"Wushuang!" Shao Jingyan blushed slightly, and the children and grandchildren around him hurriedly turned their heads to cover their mouths and sniggered, but they only dared to shake their shoulders desperately so as not to let out any laughter.

"Go home?" Looking at the rare and kind old man with wide eyes in disbelief, Shao Siyu's voice trembled, "Old man, you..."

"Xiao'er, these years... you have worked hard, come home with us!" Shao Yuran nodded distressedly, "Go back to our home!"

"Yeah Xiaojiu, grandpa said it all, no one will dare to stop you from doing whatever you want..."

"As long as it's what you like, you can do whatever you want!"

All the brothers and sisters talked to each other, and Shao Siyu couldn't help but looked at them with choked eyes, his eyes were red, and after a long time, he smiled lightly and said, "Thank you brothers and sisters for your kindness, but I'm used to the life in Jiangnan. I feel very comfortable and at ease, I think... I still prefer to live this kind of life. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, people with small bridges, and company with flowers, plants and birds every day, it will be happier."

"You don't want to go back, or are you blaming me?" Shao Jingyan frowned slightly, looked at his youngest granddaughter with some anxiety and asked in a low voice, "Are you unwilling to forgive grandpa for being selfish all these years?"

"It's not like that!" Shaking his head quickly, Shao Siyu denied it. "Xiao Jiu has never resented..."

Sighing softly, she turned around and walked to the side of the rabbit pen, carefully stretched out her hand to pick up the white rabbit she called Little Tofu, and gently stroked it, "Actually, I never resented anyone. Hate or not...Because resentment is also a very tiring thing, life is already very tiring, if you spend your time on resentment... Hehe, why should I do such thankless things? After reading so many scriptures, I have already seen through it... The setbacks experienced by all things in the world are the tests arranged by God. In fact, I am luckier than many people. The protection of Wuzheng Villa for many years has kept me from being displaced and sleeping on the streets I have been bullied by others. The prestige of Wuzheng Villa allows me not to endure the oppression and humiliation of others, and I don’t need to look at people’s faces. I am better than others in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and my reputation and power are much higher than ordinary people. God is fair, while he gave me disasters and twists and turns, he also gave me the wealth and glory that ordinary people may not be able to obtain in their lifetime, so what do I have to resent?"

The young family was shocked by her words, they couldn't say anything, they could only stare blankly at the extraordinary wisdom and calm reflection on the face of the still childish girl in front of them.If they switched lives with this child, how would they deal with it?It was silent for a long time, but still couldn't think of an answer.

"I am very satisfied with the days like this now. I only hope that in my lifetime, I can be so peaceful and quiet. I don't need too much wealth, I don't need tiring fame, just like this, simple, breathing every day Breathing the fresh air that cannot be bought with gold and silver, watching the sun rise and set, the flowers fade and the flowers bloom... If my mother had a spirit in the sky and saw that I am so calm now, would she feel at ease?!"

"Xiao Jiu, you really don't want to go back with us?" Shao Qiulan anxiously stepped forward and grabbed her arm, then pointed around, "Although the environment here is good, it can't compare to the infinite scenery of Baiyun Mountain , if you like to live in a bamboo house, how about I help you build a bamboo house ten times bigger than this when we go back to Seventh Brother?"

"Yeah Xiaojiu, let's go home, there might be wild beasts here in the deserted night, and there are wolves, tigers... oh, it's so scary..."

Shao Wushuang patted his chest with a frightening expression, "So you should go home with us, the house is safe!"

"Eighth Sister..." Shao Siyu laughed, this kind of thing was used by her to scare Qiao Yunxi, okay?Besides, even if there were wolves and tigers, they would not have the ability to climb into the house. Even if they did go in, she had never heard of tigers and wolves climbing trees. At that time, they would just need to hide in the big trees Wouldn't it be fine to wait until dawn?

"Really don't want to go home?" Shao Jingyan sighed, after hating for so many years, he couldn't even match the mind of a little girl.Fortunately, among the Jianghu people, they respected him as Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world, Shao Jingyan suddenly felt very ashamed in front of his little granddaughter.

"Old man, Xiao Jiu has made up his mind, but don't worry, as long as I have time, I will go home to see you!" Taking a deep breath, she rarely boldly stuck out her tongue at her old man, "Go home and see grandpa... But good?"

"Hey..." Shao Jingyan sighed, and helplessly reached out to caress the top of Shao Siyu's head, "It really looks like your mother. If your mother was half as strong as you back then, she wouldn't be..."

"The past is over, old man don't think about it anymore, isn't everything all right now?" After clapping his old man's hand, Shao Siyu still trembled slightly because he couldn't believe it.Old man, that high-ranking young man in power actually accepted himself so easily?What have you been doing for the past ten years?

"Your three uncles and Wuhui are taking care of everything in the city. Since you don't want to go back to Mobei, I won't make things difficult for you!" With a heavy sigh, Shao Jingyan reluctantly curled the corners of his lips, "At least, our family also Should we sit down and have a good meal?"

"Yes, our family hasn't had dinner together for a long time!" Shao Qiulan excitedly rushed forward to embrace Shao Siyu, and hooked Shao Jingyan's neck with the other hand, as close as the grandparents of ordinary people.

Shao Siyu's whole body was stiff and the corners of his mouth twitched. Seventh Brother and Eighth Sister were always the most favored in the family. It's not a big deal for them to have a fight with the old man, but today... perhaps sensing her nervousness, Shao Jingyan sighed silently Angrily, he stretched out his hand to hold her cool little hand as if to encourage, and his always strict eyes were full of the grandfather's love for his granddaughter, as well as a little apology.
