Lie Junhou [Rebirth]

When Nie Yanli asked this question, her nostrils fluttered slightly, her eyes were half drunk, half watery, with a complex expression.

"I have a lot of grievances and grievances with the Shao family." Shao Chongyou gently took the empty wine glass from Nie Yanli's hand and put it on the table, "But when I finally did it... I really thought of her."

In fact, many years later, Shao Chongyou may not even remember the appearance of Xiao Moli clearly. The little girl who threw candy to him on the small window of the dim woodshed, and the scene of the dim twilight that day, are the thoughts that are imprinted in his mind. .

In his dark life of being bullied for a long time, Xiao Moli was the first ray of light, shining in through the small window, shining on his wounds all over his body, making him leave Shao's house and wandering in the rivers and lakes. Keep looking.

It is the vague sense of direction in the heart of the migratory bird, the cycle of the four seasons, he followed the memory of that day to the ends of the world, and to the current situation.

Lin Yi suddenly felt a little subtle, as if something was about to come out, but Xiao Huan gently took his hand: "Go for a walk?"

Lin Yi didn't object, Xiao Huan took him out of the yard, and strolled along the winding stone alley to the water's edge.

Nie Yanli got up and wandered towards the backyard. Shao Chong still saw that he was drunk again, so he followed him as usual, and planned to take him to the room to rest.

"Is it this piece of jade?" Nie Yanli turned around suddenly, and under the wisteria flower stand in the backyard, the gorgeous twilight was dotted. He lowered his head and reached out, twisting the Lishan jade on the hilt of Shao Chongyou's sword.

Shao Chongyou nodded, intending to help him back to the room, lest this person sleep directly under the flower trellis again.

"Clean and elegant, born in ink moss, Lishan jade." Nie Yanli held the piece of jade, raised his eyes to look at Shao Chongyou, his eyes curled up with a smile, and the two got very close at once.

"She... didn't die, and she didn't suffer much."

"What did you say?" Shao Chongyou frowned slightly, staring at Nie Yanli's slightly provocative drunken eyes.

"Mo Li, she's home." Nie Yanli tilted her head slightly, "Look, isn't this all right?"

Nie Yanli pointed at herself, and the aura in her eyes was actually somewhat similar to that of the girl outside the small window back then, making one feel dazed.

Shao Chongyou's eyes were very calm and clear, looking at him with some puzzled eyes, as if he felt that Nie Yanli was very drunk.

"Sold by the Shao family, before Ren Yazi could change hands, the Ruan family had already found her, and all the insiders who planned to 'deliver' were killed."

Nie Yanli was a little unsteady, leaning against the wisteria flowers on the back, trying to remember, "I have been wanting to find you since I got home, but the Ruan family has strict rules, so they won't let me."

Shao Chongyou's expression was slightly stagnant, his brows furrowed and then calmed down, and he looked at the man in front of him again.

"you……"

"My grandmother liked girls, and she always dressed me up as a girl." Nie Yanli shook her head helplessly, but when she shook her head, she became even more dizzy and stopped immediately.

Shao Chong still looked at Nie Yanli and remained silent, Nie Yanli muttered to himself.

When the most honored young master returned to the Ruan family in Jiangzhou, everyone in the Ruan family went crazy, and Ren Yazi and the next family who took over were disposed of at that time.

However, due to various reasons, the Ruan family did not take action against the Shao family, which nearly ruined the second half of Nie Yanli's life, and since then, no one in the Ruan family was allowed to mention this matter again.

Nie Yanli was always thinking about what she promised, and clamored to go back to find Xiao Chongyou, and was beaten and put in confinement for this.

The master and wife of the Ruan family had no choice but to lie to him that the child no longer remembered him, and told him not to make trouble anymore.

Nie Yanli was dubious and depressed, and never talked about it again. The child grew up fast, and this matter was gradually suppressed in his memory.

After growing up, Nie Yanli always disliked the countless rules of the family, so she simply left home to wander the rivers and lakes.

"I also looked for you, worried that the family would beat you." Nie Yanli lowered her voice, "But they didn't reveal anything."

At that time, Nie Yanli was too young to know where the Shao family was located. Everyone in the Ruan family was warned not to mention this matter again, so he had no way of finding out.

The memory will only become more and more blurred, he can't even remember what that piece of jade looked like, just like Shao Chongyou, the face of the person in his memory fades away, leaving behind the idea of ​​looking for it.

After Nie Yanli finished speaking, she was silent for a moment.

Shao Chongyou understood everything, and his heart turned back and forth: "Ruan Mo."

This was his real name, Nie Yanli was a little drunk, and nodded in response after a while.

Ruan Mo, Nie Yanli.

Mo Li, Mo Li.

Nie Yanli asked: "Are you disappointed?" After all, Shao Chongyou has been worrying about him all the time, even drifting in the rivers and lakes since then, but he has already returned home.

Shao Chongyou laughed lightly when he heard the words, and his stern eyebrows melted: "It's good that you are safe and well."

The two children are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River and northern Xinjiang, and separated by the unpredictable and changeable life, they have tried their best to find each other.

The cold and damp woodshed, the accidental acquaintance inside and outside the small window, and the slanting light in half an afternoon changed the rest of their lives unknowingly.

Shao Chongyou looked at him carefully, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Nie Yanli also smiled, her suave brows were flawless, and asked him, "What are you looking at?"

"See if she looks like my little girl." Shao Chongyou rarely joked.

Nie Yanli's jade-like face was reflected beautifully by the wisteria flowers, and he lowered his eyes to catch a glimpse of the jade adorned on the hilt of his sword. He smiled, and in the chaos of drunkenness in his heart, a strange expression suddenly appeared.

"What's the matter?" Shao Chongyou was a little puzzled, raised his hand to his face, and gently wiped away the tears rolling down from the corner of his eyes with his thumb.

"Drunk." Nie Yanli tilted her head slightly, and put her cheek against Shao Chongyou's palm, closing her dizzy eyes slightly because of drunkenness.

He thought of a young boy who was covered in wounds, wandering through the busy streets and alleys, eating and sleeping in the open, wandering thousands of miles, in order to find himself.

After so many years, I finally found it.

In the lifetime, those who should meet will meet again in the rivers and lakes.

Lin Yi was sitting on a stone platform by the river, with a clay pot in his hand, his calf dangling slightly, with a look of astonishment on his face: "Are you serious? Nie Yanli, he..."

Xiao Huan nodded, and stood beside him with his hands behind his back. The stone platform was half the height of a person. Sitting there, Lin Yi could just look at each other with Xiao Huan.

"Why are you so sure?" Lin Yi was still a little puzzled.

"The first time I saw him when I was a child, he also said his nickname, Mo Li." Xiao Huan said, "After he left home, he simply changed his name."

"Then you've seen him dressed up as a little girl?" Lin Yi was interested, thought for a while, and said, "It should be pretty."

"His grandmother always raised him as a granddaughter, and she was dressed like that when she was a child, and she was also a pretty little girl." Xiao Huan also smiled when he thought about it, "But it will no longer be like this when he grows up."

The Huai River meanders by, the twilight rays of light burn among the water waves, and the fisherman returns home at night.

Lin Yi joked: "If he pretends to be a woman now, he will have a first-class appearance."

Nie Yanli's appearance is a bit girly, elegant and elegant, but her manners can't be more chic, so that appearance has the meaning of romantic.

Shao Chongyou's incident was beyond Lin Yi's expectation. His past was too complicated, and his silence and sternness seemed reasonable. A person was burdened with too many mysteries of the past, as if wrapped in layers of fog, making it gradually difficult to approach.

"How did King Jingyang Xiao Fang follow him?" Lin Yi looked back and calculated the time, "They should have known each other very early."

"It is inseparable from the Shao family." Xiao Huan said, "The woman you brought back this time is the former servant of the Shao family. Because of the decline of the Shao family, many servants were dismissed, and that woman escaped the disaster of destroying the family."

Lin Yi opened the clay pot at hand and tasted a kidney bean inside: "Green plum and honey pickled kidney beans? Your cooking is better than all the restaurants in Jinling."

The sweetness of osmanthus honey and various herbs is rich and lingering, but also fragrant and slightly cool.

"There are many kinds of sweetness." Lin Yi tasted it carefully.

Xiao Huan chuckled lightly: "Guess what kind of sweets it is?"

Lin Yi roughly guessed a few things, guessed, but was in a trance, and asked, "Am I..."

Fragments of lightning and flint flashed in my mind, just like those strange dreams, invisible and inaudible, the sense of touch and taste is still there, and the same complex and sweet taste in the mouth.

He once guessed, if there was an intersection with Xiao Huan before rebirth, when would it be.

But there is no gap in every stage of his life. Either Xiao Huan was erased from his memory, or he only knew Xiao Huan after he was shot by an arrow.

Lin Yi thought it was unlikely, the pain of that arrow was too clear, and it was impossible to survive if his heart was hurt to that extent.

Lin Yi suddenly recovered from his complicated thoughts, took Xiao Huan's hand, wrote a few words in his palm, and asked him with a smile: "Do you know what I 'said'?"

At the end of the alley in the water town with white walls in Daiwa, Lin Yi was dressed in red, his smile overlapped with his previous life, and the words he wrote were the same as before.

Xiao Huan understood that Lin Yi's memory was gradually getting rid of the dust.

He was silent for a moment, looked at Lin Yi intently, and replied softly word by word: "Taste this bitterness, get this sweetness."

Lin Yi is a northerner. Whenever he speaks softly, his words are always soft and sticky in Jiangnan Wu dialect. He leaned over, tapped the tip of Xiao Huan's nose, and joked: "Did you make this snack for me in your previous life?"

Xiao Huan raised his arms to hug him, and kissed him lightly: "En."

"You were so kind to me, I must have had a good time." Lin Yi sat on the stone platform, put his arms around his neck, leaned against his shoulder, and took a deep breath of Xiao Huan's pleasant breath.

"Maybe." Xiao Huan said, he was actually not sure whether the happiness he brought Lin Yi was too limited in Lin Yi's physical condition.

Lin Yi raised his head, carefully traced the outline of Xiao Huan's face, and said with a light smile, "I think, even if I do it a hundred times, no matter how we know each other, it will still be like this..."

He paused, Xiao Huan asked: "What?"

Lin Yi smiled brilliantly, and leaned over to kiss her, his voice was a little vague, but clear: "...I will like you so much."
