I, the orphan of a traitor, is in demand

Chapter 29 The Country Life of Four Big Men

The sound of horseshoes can be heard endlessly. In my memory, this is the first time I have ridden a horse.Yi Xuan and Li Cixiao followed closely behind me on horseback. Li Cixiao still had a slight smile on his face, as if he was born with a smiling face.

When I arrived at Mahe Village, I asked the old woman where the cemetery of Dai Changshan was.Looking at the three piles of graves next to each other, the word "Autumn" is the most eye-catching.Yi'an decided not to take me when he went back to his hometown to sweep the grave, and this was the reason.Ah!That's right, if he told me to see this pile of graves, how would he explain it?Nature can't explain it.There is a dead silence around, only the sound of wind blowing and grass moving.Li Cixiao stopped not far away, and Yi Xuan stepped forward, but did not make a sound.

It was too late to go back to the city.Wen Lan and Li Cixiao cleaned up Yi'an's house a bit.The house is not big, and there are only some simple objects in the house. There are a few medicine racks piled up in the corner of the yard, and there is a well beside it.

Tossing and turning at night, I put on my clothes and left the bedroom.When I went to the hall, it turned out that I wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep.Yi Xuan and Li Cixiao were playing chess with candles in the hall, while Wen Lan was waiting at the door with his sword in his arms.

"Yiqiu." Li Cixiao called me first, and Yi Xuan loosened the pawn on his fingertips, "But you are not feeling well?"

"Nothing." I wandered out of the main room, it was very dark outside, and there was no moon in the sky, so the stars were extraordinarily dazzling.Yi Xuan took off his coat and put it on me, "It's dewy at night, don't get cold." Similar words, similar movements, but no longer similar mood.

I said: "Yi Xuan, when you and I met on Tongzi Street for the first time, you looked at me in amazement. At that time, I just thought you were frightened by my face. But you said that my qin is similar to your old friend's qin , You misunderstood someone. Later, outside Wanzhou City, I thanked you for giving me clothes to shelter from the cold. You said that I have not changed, and I am as polite as before. I remember I asked you twice if we knew each other before. The first time you denied You said you didn’t know me; the second time, you avoided answering.” The night wind was bitingly cold, and I couldn’t help pulling the clothes on my body, “I don’t know what purpose you have to approach me, I only know that it was your appearance that disrupted my original life. Now that I have come to this point, don't you plan to explain it? "

"Come here, I'll tell you everything." Yi Xuan pulled me into the bedroom, "Do you still remember the Ling Dan I told you about?" My heart tightened, and the name became more and more familiar .

"We have known each other since we were young. We went to school together and played together. You are smarter than me, because you and I have been scolded by the Taifu a lot. Your name is not Dai Yiqiu, your name is Ling Dan, and your name is Yuqian. You are the general Ling Qian. Xi’s son.” Something deep in my memory began to stir, and Yi Xuan continued: “I admit, I recognized you when we first met. At that time, I wanted to identify you, but your The change is too big, which makes me very at a loss. In a moment of anxiety, I had to say that you are similar to my old friend. Later, when I approached you, I just wanted to clarify the doubts in my heart, and when the time is ripe, I will identify with you. Yuqian , from beginning to end, I have no intention of harming you."

Ling Dan, Ling Yuqian, Ling Qianxi, Miemen... My mind was in a mess, "You go out first, get out." The two hundred and eight piles of graves that Xia Nianzhen said were buzzing in my ears.I'm Ling Yuqian, the only survivor of the Ling family extermination case.But why did I leave without saying a word?Why do you get this scar?Why did you meet Yi'an again?

Without seeing Yi'an, all this is still unclear!

When things became clear, they all called out their titles.Exchange Qiu for Yuqian, and exchange Mr. Qiu for Mr. Yuqian.I'm used to the word Yiqiu, but now I hear Yuqian, it's very unpleasant.

"Yuqian, now that the matter has been clarified, we will set off to return home today." Explaining the reason and unloading the burden, Yi Xuan had a lot of lightness on his face.

"I still won't go back." Although I can't remember why I left without saying a word, I still believe in my decision.There is a need to leave, and I will definitely not go back until I have clarified these things: "I still have a lot of questions, I want to wait here for peace, and after I ask them clearly, I will go back if necessary."

"Look, I told you last night that he won't go back with you, and you still don't believe me." Li Cixiao was playing with other children, leisurely: "Seventh brother, although you are with Yuqian It's been longer than me, but you don't understand him like I do."

Yi Xuan ignored Li Cixiao, and just asked Wen Lan to go to Yao Town to prepare some medicines for me according to the prescription, and buy some vegetables and food on the way back.If Yi Xuan doesn't leave, Li Cixiao will be left behind.

The weather was fine, and the children from the neighboring families gathered in the yard to play with Li Cixiao.Li Cixiao hugged the youngest boy and played cuju with other children outside the yard. They said it was cuju, but it was actually a straw ball that Li Cixiao temporarily wrapped.I didn't expect that the king of Thailand would be so popular with children, and I didn't expect him to put down his figure and have such fun with a group of Qinggouzi dolls.

Wen Lan came back with a large bundle of firewood, and Yi Xuan also rushed out of the forest with a pile of wild game.Li Cixiao haha ​​praised: "Seventh brother, your archery skills are getting better and better." Yi Xuan didn't pay much attention to him, but when he came to me, he told him to pay attention to his body, don't stand for a long time and so on.

Yi Xuan put the hunted game in the corner of the yard, and took three of them into the kitchen, "Wen Lan, you can take these and share them with them later." Wen Lan put down the dry firewood and responded.After staying here for seven or eight days, Yi Xuan went into the forest every day to hunt prey, and every time he would give some to the neighbors around him. After going back and forth, everyone in Mahe Village knew them well.

"Hey, Uncle Zhang, it's time to go to work so early."

"Yeah, time waits for no one. If you miss the season, things like this will not grow." The old man who carried the hoe smiled at Li Cixiao, and did not forget to tell his grandson Zhang Gen: "Gen Er, You have to listen to brother Li, don't bully others." Li Cixiao's word is Run, and after he lived here, he changed "Li" to "Li", and his name was Li Run, and I changed from Dai Yiqiu to Ling Yuqian.Li Cixiao said, I entered the palace as a companion of Yi Xuan since I was a child, and the common people knew very little about the young prince of the Ling family, so I didn't need to change my name.

My voice is ugly, I seldom speak, and Wen Lan is a stuffy mushroom again, maybe because Li Cixiao is here, Yi Xuan is not as talkative as before.Among the four of us, Li Cixiao is the one who can let go, and he is the only one who is a talker, and he is very popular with the neighbors.A few old women around came to deliver rice and vegetables every day, inquiring about Li Cixiao's marriage, and wanted to ration their daughter to him.Every time he came here, Li Cixiao always prevaricated in a haha.

Yi Xuan brought out a chair and pulled me to sit down: "Don't stand for too long, sit down for a while." I thanked and continued to look at the group of little dolls.Yi Xuan seemed to sneer at Li Cixiao, then turned around and fetched a bucket of water into the kitchen.

"Slow down, don't fall." Li Cixiao repeatedly told him that the child was naughty, and these words played a big role.The warm sun shines on the body, the time is quiet, if there is peace and spring...

"Brother Yuqian!" The little dolls were all startled, and I woke up to see that round Cuju coming straight towards me.A kitchen knife appeared and directly nailed the Cuju to the gate of the courtyard.All the dolls breathed a sigh of relief, I turned around and saw Yi Xuan walking quickly with the skinned rabbit in his hands, his brows were tightly frowned, his expression was bad, and he seemed to be nodding his head to the ground.

"It's over, Brother Yi Xuan is angry." All the children hid behind Li Cixiao, Yi Xuan took off the kitchen knife from the door frame, and stared at Li Cixiao.Li Cixiao unhurriedly put down the little boy in his hand, turned around and said, "Who kicked it just now, come out and apologize to Brother Yuqian."

Uncle Zhang's grandson, Zhang Gen, rolled his eyes, glanced at Yi Xuan, and hurriedly ran to me: "Brother Yuqian, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it just now." Nice, just a little bit darker.I picked up the Cuju and stuffed it into his hand: "It's okay, let's go play."

"Thank you brother Yuqian." After thanking him, he ran away.Li Cixiao Xu lost his interest and sent them all to play elsewhere. "These children are very naughty and have no sense of danger. Next time, stay away from them a little bit." Yi Xuan held a knife in one hand and a rabbit in the other, looking more and more like a cook.

"Understood." Hearing my answer, Yi Xuan returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.Li Cixiao looked at Yi Xuan's back, and a slight smile flashed across his lips, "Yuqian, I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully, but luckily you are fine, if not, I would die of guilt."

I said: "King Tai is serious, it's just a grass ball, even if it gets hit, it won't cause any problems."

"Yuqian thinks it's okay, but Ziyi doesn't think so." The smile on Li Cixiao's face rippled again, "Yuqian forgot, so you were hit by this kick when you were young Yes. I’m ashamed to say it, but I was the one who kicked you, and it hit the bridge of your nose, causing you to bleed a lot.”

In the past few days, Li Cixiao has consciously or unintentionally mentioned things about his childhood to me. He said that we used to go to school together.Among the three of us, Taifu likes me the most, I am a fast learner, and all these things are no different from what Yi Xuan said before.

"After school that day, we played cuju outside the school, and I accidentally kicked you. You fell to the ground with a lot of nosebleeds. In order to avenge you, Ziyi even fought with me. He threw My jade pendant was broken, and when you went to school, you gave me your own jade pendant." Li Cixiao took out the jade pendant and gave me a look, this jade pendant was the one that fell in the rain that day.

"After that, Ziyi never wanted to play cuju with me again." Li Cixiao laughed to himself with a bitter look on his face. "What happened when I was a child is in the past, so I don't need to mention it. The King of Thailand doesn't need to care about it so much." Li Cixiao said it emotionally, but I still can't recall it.It used to be that when I listened to other people's stories, I would still have emotional fluctuations, but now when I listen to my own stories, I don't feel much.

What kind of memory is that?Now the further I go, the more panic I feel in my heart.I wanted to make sense of the past, but I was afraid of it.Why did I leave at that time, and where did my scars come from?

Li Cixiao told me many interesting stories about my childhood.Said that Yi Xuan was not serious in class, and was always punished by the Taifu to stand and copy books.It is said that the three of us stole imperial wine, got drunk, and received a lot of punishment after waking up...

"Yuqian, it's time to eat." Yi Xuan entered the main room with a large bowl of hot dishes, and Li Cixiao brought the bowls and chopsticks.Yi Xuan filled a bowl of chicken soup and put it in front of me after blowing it to cool down. "Wen Lan hasn't come back yet, why don't you wait for him?" A square table happened to be full of four people, and there was one missing party today, like that beautiful jade with flaws, always a little unsatisfactory.

Li Cixiao was not polite, and wiped his chopsticks: "Maybe some family stayed here for dinner, so there is no need to wait." Yi Xuan took a piece of meat and put it in my bowl: "Eat, I won't be hungry, Li Jiahe The Zhao family should have prepared his meals."

If I remember correctly, the Li family and the Zhao family should have planned to marry their daughter to Li Cixiao.It seems that Li Cixiao's many prevarications and evasions made the two families turn their hopes to Wen Lan.The girls from those two families are very iconic, and they can be regarded as beauties. No matter what, if Wen Lan really likes them, it will be a beautiful thing.

Li Cixiao praised Yi Xuan's craftsmanship while eating, but Yi Xuan didn't react much, but just talked about the embarrassing things that Li Cixiao said about him when he was a child. "It turned out that when I was in school, although I didn't pay attention to the lectures, I still listened to some. King Tai was lucky and went to sleep. The four books and five classics were copied roughly three hundred times."

"Only a hundred times, Seventh Brother, have you forgotten? You and Yuqian also helped me copy a lot." Li Cixiao was quite pleased.Yi Xuan scoffed, feeling disgusted.If his brothers don't have any suspicions, it would be very interesting to fight like this.
