"Oh—oh—come home!"

"Let's sue, little man!"

"Go home and tell people to go!"

Xiao Suo got rid of the group of Zhao Xiaoxi and Zhao Xiaofu who were chasing after him, escaped from the school, ran home staggeringly, stumbled over a stone inadvertently, rolled out with his buttocks pouted, and hit his head on the trampled dirt ground. Dropped a bag.

A burst of laughter erupted behind him, and all the urchins shouted: "Oh - I fell and eat shit! Little dog, bark, little dog!"

Xiao Suo squinted his mouth, got up in embarrassment, picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that fell on the floor, wiped the overturned inkstone with straw paper, and continued to run forward.

Returning home like a gust of wind, she put down her things and heard her mother say, "Dubao, why are you running like crazy? Hit the inkstone carefully!"

"It's not broken." He said loudly, "It's just spilled with ink, just wipe it off."

The mother noticed the abnormality, dropped the medicine hoe and went to the yard, saw Xiao Suo was holding the well platform, shaking the pulley with great effort. "What are you doing? Come down quickly, and be careful not to fall into the well!"

"Mother... I, I wash my hands." Xiao Suo stretched out his black ink-stained little hand, and opened five fingers that were not as big as his mother's fist. "The ink is spilled... wash your hands."

"Come here, come over here, I'll fetch water." His mother took him aside, shook the pulley and asked, "Why is it that school is over early today? Is there something going on at Master's house?"

Xiao Suo shook his head: "No, I have an exam today, I won't go to school tomorrow, and I'll go to the next day."

Fortunately, there is no need to go tomorrow, and we will think about the day after tomorrow.

The mother dragged the last piece of rope to lift the wooden bucket, poured water into the basin, sat him down on her lap, washed his little hands, and asked, "How did you do in the exam, can you still pass the exam? "

"I can do it, mother." Xiao Suo smiled and said, "I must be A-class, does mother know what A-class is?"

"Isn't it the first name and the best, why don't you know?" The mother wiped his hands for him, touched his forehead, frowned and said, "Why is there a lump here, does it hurt?"

Xiao Suo nodded, then shook his head again.

"Does it hurt?" Mother asked, "What did you do? Did you fight with your classmates?"

"Not really." Xiao Suo muttered. "Accidentally... fell down."

You can tell at a glance whether your mother is a mother: "You still tell lies, and your face turns red. It's been like this since I was a child, and I blush when I lie. Say, who did you fight with? You never cause trouble, why are you fighting today?"

"Really not." Xiao Suo lowered his head, staring at his white and tender toes, with a scratched red mark on it, "I won't fight."

"Don't tell me, when your father comes back, I will tell him?" The mother's unique skill in walking the rivers and lakes is "telling father".

Xiao Suo fiddled with his fingers and hesitated for a long time, then flattened his mouth and said: "Mother, don't tell Dad, there really wasn't a fight...I'm sorry."

"Why did you say sorry if you didn't fight?" The mother picked him up, went into the house and put him on the kang, rummaged through the box to find a bottle of Diada wine to wipe him, "roll up your trouser legs, and show me."

Xiao Suo lifted up his clothes obediently, there were sporadic scars, bruises, and scratched red marks on his childish skin like snow lotus roots.

"Why did you fall like this, don't you care about the road?" The mother felt distressed, wiped the wound with medicinal wine, put some white medicine on him, and wrapped him up in expensive white silk.

"It was really accidental, and I fell." Xiao Suo tried his best to explain, his black eyes dodged, "I'm sorry mother, my body is hairy and skinny, I received it from my parents, so don't hurt it, Dubao didn't do it on purpose."

"Fool, how could anyone throw himself on purpose?" His mother smiled and changed him into clean bamboo clothes, and took out his broken old clothes to wash and mend.

Xiao Suo dragged the small white porcelain pillow on the kang and lay down, hugged the big Ah Fu who was originally placed by the window, and said to himself: "Ah Fu, when will I grow up? I'm a little scared, Zhao Xiaoxi and Zhao Xiaofu will definitely beat me... I don't want to be beaten. The master said, you can't give the students to copy the article, I... I don't know. It is wrong to copy for them, if you don't copy for them, you will be beaten... I what to do?"

(two)

Zhao Xiaoxi and Zhao Xiaofu are a pair of twin brothers from the Zhao family in the east of the village. Both of them are as strong as cattle.It was heard that their father worked as a clerk in the shop of Shen's family, a big family in the village, and no one nearby dared to offend him.

Xiao Suo didn't dare either, his father saw a doctor for the old man in the government last year and offended the doctor who was supported by the government, so he has no business to do until now.

The patients would never come to his father unless they had to.If someone came to see a doctor, his father always exempted the consultation fee.The mother said that the family is getting more and more difficult now, and there is nothing wrong with it.

If I had known it earlier, I would have copied it for them, but the master might not be able to see it.But Xiao Suo didn't dare, in case of being discovered, the master would hit their palms with a stack of rulers in the school cabinet.

Last year, Liang Xing played truant from school and went out to play with the older children in the village. When he came back, he was beaten up by his parents, and when he was sent to school, he was beaten up by his master again.

Xiao Suo didn't want to become like him, his hands were smaller than Liang Xing's, and his flesh was also tenderer than Liang Xing's, so it would definitely hurt more when he hit him.

"Dubao——" his mother called him, and the voice came from Chaifang, "Help me bring the tofu here, it's on the chopping board in the Westinghouse!"

Xiao Suo put down Ah Fu steadily, and hurriedly said: "I'm busy first, I'll talk to you tonight."

"Here we come." He replied, and ran to the west room, tiptoed to take down the small bamboo basket on the table, and ran to the firewood room, "Mom, the tofu smells sour."

"I know, that half is a bit broken, and it can't be kept in the hot weather." Mother put the unspoiled tofu into the vegetable soup, and the big black pot was bubbling and fragrant.

Xiao Suo moved the small scorpion placed by the door to the side of the cupboard, stepped on it and then tiptoed to reach the pottery bowl placed on the upper floor.

"Your father went to the mountain to collect herbs. If he can't come back tonight, he will eat on the mountain." Mother said, "Two bowls are enough, don't beat me."

"Mother, what kind of medicine does daddy go to gather again?" His dad has always been picking medicine recently, and he often goes out for a few days and nights, but when he comes back, there are only Tianqi, perilla, and other herbs that are also grown at home.

"Your father is looking for a very rare medicinal material. If he can find it, he can earn a lot of money by selling it in the medicine shop opened by the Shen family. When the time comes, you will go to the school in the county and you won't have to worry about the expenses." Teng Teng shoveled the vegetables into the bowl, and told him to bring the small basin behind him, "Don't touch this, it's hot. Help mother get the porridge, it's already cold."

Xiao Suo followed his mother with a basin in his arms, and asked with his blushing face up, "Mom, can I go to school in the county next year?"

"Then you have to pass the Tongsheng examination first." The mother arranged the dishes and slid him onto the bench, "Your father said that you will grow up next year, and then you won't need your mother to carry you to the table for dinner."

"Daddy says that every year," Xiao Suo was a little frustrated, "Dubao doesn't grow up every year."

His mother smiled, gave him half of a white-flour steamed bun, put away the other half, took a bite of the bean dregs cake and said, "I will grow up, your father is tall and your mother is not short, how can Dubao not grow taller? Everyone grows at different speeds, some people grow early, but they don't grow long. Although Dubao grows late, he may be taller than them in the future."

"Really?" Even if it was true, Xiao Suo still wanted to grow taller now, so that he would no longer be afraid of being bullied by the Zhao family brothers.

"Of course it's true. Eat some of this and grow faster." His mother gave him a piece of white and tender tofu. "This bowl is not sour. My mother saved the good ones."

Xiao Suo swallowed obediently, held the bowl and puffed his cheeks and said, "Mom, I've finished eating."

"Let's go play after eating." My mother cleaned up the dishes and said, "Remember to rinse your mouth, or your teeth will get worms."

Xiao Suo seldom really went out to play, unless someone came to him - which was almost never.The master said that he had the talent of Zhong Yong, but his father was afraid that he would "disappear from everyone" in the future, so he never took him around to show off, but only read with peace of mind.

No one in ten miles and eight towns knows that there is Xiao Dubao in Songxi Village, who is young and handsome, so his peers are reluctant to get close to him, and for some reason, they just feel that he is different from everyone else.

The way is different, do not conspire with each other.

Children do not understand reason, but they have natural instincts.

Xiao Suo climbed onto the kang again and was in a daze. When he grows up, he will take the exams for Juren, Jinshi, and become an official.

When can I grow up?

He couldn't wait.

At noon the next day, his father hadn't come back yet, his mother was anxious, and Xiao Suo was also anxious.Yushan is very big, but there are only two roads.Walking east leads to Yunzhong County, walking west leads to Houshan Col, and Daddy mostly walks west.

Xiao Suo walked to the door with a food basket bigger than his head, waved his hand and said, "Mom, go back, Grandpa Zhang said, wait for me at the entrance of the village. We found Daddy, and we'll be back soon."

"Look for the road, don't fall. If you find your father, come back quickly, and send me a letter if you can't find it, don't delay." Mother stretched her neck and urged her, but her voice disappeared before she could reach her.

Xiao Suo was afraid of meeting the Zhao family brothers, so he trotted all the way against the wall, saw the one-armed Grandpa Zhang with a gray beard from a distance, beckoned and ran to him and said: "Grandpa, my mother said, this is for you." He said and handed over the basket.

"Astragalus membranaceus again. The old man took all the medicines that your family couldn't sell." Grandpa Zhang squeezed his tender little face, "Oh, I was born like a baby girl, how will I ask for a wife in the future!"

Xiao Suo burst into two dimples, and said with a smile: "Du Bao doesn't want to marry a wife, just stay with his parents."

"Stupid." Old man Zhang snorted, "I'll wait until you touch my little lady's hand. At that time, it's up to you to talk like that. In the future, I will marry a daughter-in-law and go home to take care of your parents , isn't it better?"

"I don't want it." Xiao Suo muttered stubbornly.

(three)

Soon they went up the mountain, old man Zhang and him divided into two groups, one went to the direction of Yunzhong County, and the other went to the back of the mountain. No matter what the result was, they would meet at the intersection when the sun went down.

Xiao Suo kept in mind Grandpa Zhang's words, he only took official roads, not small paths, so as not to get lost or meet bad guys.

It was midsummer, and the roadsides were lush and lush with grass and trees.Xiao Suo picked a piece of foxtail, tied it around his finger, and dotted it with a small purple flower, like the emerald green ring worn by the proprietress of a cloth shop in the county.

Go back and give it to your mother, she will be happy.

After walking for a long time, his feet became sore.There is a hole in the shoe, and the big toe sticks out, looking fat.

"Master, I can swim, and my waist is softer than his!" A voice suddenly came from the grass.

I don't know if it's a bad person, Xiao Suo secretly glanced at it from behind - it was two big kids who were naked, playing by the pond, as if they were about to compete in the water.

Next to them was an older brother who was extraordinarily tall, with his back turned to him, he couldn't see his face clearly, and his figure was unusually tall and straight, like the general mentioned in the book.

"Whoever swims gracefully will sleep with my grandfather tonight!" The man's voice was also nice, deep and clear.

Little Xiao Suo watched silently for a while, then remembered the business, turned around and continued to walk forward.Soon, a piece of coarse cloth clothes came into view in the distance. It belonged to his father, and his mother just put on the second patch the day before yesterday.

He ran under the tree and pulled off the clothes hanging on the branch. Qingyue's childish voice shouted loudly: "Daddy——I'm Dubao! Daddy——"

"Here." Someone patted on the shoulder suddenly, his father stood behind him at some point, bent over and hugged him. "My only baby, why did you come here?"

"Mother told me to come to find Daddy." Xiao Suo leaned on his arms and said, "Grandpa Zhang brought me here, I didn't run around alone."

Daddy touched him and said with a smile: "I guess, our Dubao is so obedient, he will definitely not run around. Let's go, Daddy will take you to see a baby."

"Baby?" Xiao Suo blinked his big eyes and asked: "Did Daddy find the baby? Mother said you came out to gather medicine, so is that medicine the treasure?"

Dad took two steps forward with him in his arms, and slipped sideways through the mountain wall, "This is a black cave, is Dubao afraid?"

"I'm... afraid." Xiao Suo never boasted, but told the truth, "Daddy lights the lamp, it's so dark here."

"Just light it, I brought the candle." Xiao Suo was put down by his father, and he covered his eyes with his small hand for a long time, and then he opened his eyes when he felt a light flash between his fingers.

Daddy led him, went around to the tunnel deep in the cave, pointed to the vines on the mountain wall and said, "Have you seen Dubao? That is the treasure. The folks call it 'life-saving grass', and it has another name." It's called 'Thousand Tails'. This tree is worth twelve taels of gold."

"It's so valuable..." Xiao Suo asked, "Dad, have you picked it?"

"I picked two flowers, but I can't pick them both, or they won't grow any more." Dad said, "Keep the small ones and pick them when they grow up."

Xiao Suo nodded and said: "Well, the master said, you can't go all out to fish."

"Really smart." Xiao Suo was praised and said happily: "Daddy let me down, Dubao can go by himself."

It was already evening at the entrance of the cave, the twilight merged, the glow was endless, and a round of red sun entered the sky.

Xiao Suo remembered the agreement with old man Zhang and hurried back with his father.His steps were small, he held his father high with his right hand, and his body was twisted.

"Eldest young master is really capable of everything, even the roasted rabbit is so delicious!" The man who was swimming just now was clamoring again, "I won, I should sleep with young master tonight, young master give me a hug!"

An arm was draped over his shoulder, and the owner of the arm was looking at him.Xiao Suo met his eyes, and hurriedly dodged away, his heart was beating wildly, there is such a handsome and handsome person in the world, maybe it is not a fairy who came out of the painting!

"Dubao," Daddy asked softly, "Do you want Daddy to hug her?"

Xiao Suo was startled, shook his head and said: "I want to go by myself... I don't want anyone to hug me."

(four)

When I went to school the next day, all three desks in the room were empty.Xiao Suo was worried all the way, and when he saw that Zhao Xiaoxi and Zhao Xiaofu were not there, he immediately felt relieved.

As soon as he entered the door in the morning, he saw Liang Xing and a group of half-grown urchins bragging together, and said mysteriously: "Hey, do you know why the big and small Zhao Jin'er didn't come?"

"Why?" Everyone asked.

"You don't know about that!" Liang Xing was triumphant, "My uncle works as a tent in the Shen family. He said that the Shen family made an engagement for his young master yesterday. The young master was not happy and ran away from home."

The little boy next to him asked, "Which young master?"

"Why don't you even know this?" Another boy with a snotty nose said, "There are only two young masters in the Shen family, and the one who looks particularly good-looking is the eldest young master. The desk in our school that is always vacant is also reserved for him. It was originally said that he was sent to school, but later it seemed that Mr. Shen said that he was afraid that the master would not be able to control him, so he asked his family to teach him. Their family invited seven or eight gentlemen to teach him in turn, and our master was among them. "

"That's right, that's right, that's him." Liang Xing continued, "Big and young Zhao ran to Shen's mansion twice in three days, and his father was eager to let them go in as servants too. Eldest Young Master Shen ran away from home yesterday, Madam Shen can rest assured He didn't want to stop, so he asked Big and Big Zhao to follow him. Who knew that when he reached the entrance of the village, he found him, and then he gave him a fat beating! This man learned kung fu from whom he usually learned, and he was so powerful. Zhao Xiaofu's head gave He's swollen from the beating, and he's still lying on the kang and can't get up!"

One word made all the urchins burst into laughter.

Xiao Suo let out a long sigh of relief, if this is true, he can finally go to school with peace of mind.

Just as he was talking, the old master walked in with his gray beard.With a cough, there was no one in the room.The master walked to the table, opened the register, and said sharply: "Dubao!"

"...husband, master." Xiao Suo was startled, stood up quickly and lowered his head.

Although he didn't know why, he didn't dare to disobey.

"Hold out your hand!" The master was very serious, bent over to search in the cabinet, and muttered, "It's strange, there are no more!"

Xiao Suo was scared out of his wits, Liang Xing's red and swollen palms from last year appeared in his mind, and he heard the chattering discussions of his classmates, he stretched out his hands tremblingly.

"Cheating in the examination room is a big taboo." The master held up a scroll and walked up to him, "In the past, there was a case of cheating in the examination room in Zhangzhou Prefecture, and the first emperor was so angry that he sent all the local students who participated in the imperial examination to prison. After investigation, in the end, dozens of people were sentenced to be permanently ineligible for employment. Many of them died because of this. Even the future imperial examinations in Zhangzhou Prefecture were affected. , It’s all because of this. You have always been an honest child, smart and talented, and my master has high hopes for you. How could you make such a big mistake? If you don’t want your reputation and conduct in this lifetime!”

With tears in his mouth, Xiao Suo said in a low voice, "Master, the lesson is clear, the student... really didn't cheat."

"Still lying!" The scroll hit the palm of his hand, not feeling pain, but extremely ashamed.Xiao Suo's teardrops trickled down, soaking the yellow paper in front of him, "Student...the student didn't lie, yesterday the student...the student didn't lie."

The master was so angry that he slammed down two pieces of paper full of handwriting, "Look, your article is exactly the same as the one written by your ancestors, and you still deny it! A gentleman builds the world with trust, you are really... …I'm furious!"

Xiao Suo picked it up and took a look, it was indeed the article he had copied from the book, but it was used for private calligraphy practice, and it had been kept in the cloth bag untouched.I handed in another copy yesterday, but now I don't know where to fly.

"Master, I..."

"This is your handwriting, isn't it?" The old master said angrily, "You're still lying, can't you say anything? You are a child who is diligent and eager to learn, but you never thought that you would be so confused. How will you behave in the future? On the contrary It's Zhao Xiaoxi—"

The master glanced at him, paused, and said: "Ah, yes, his two brothers are sick today. They usually look lazy, but when it comes to the exam, the article written is so good that even the scholar in the county said It's amazing. You learn from others, this is how people should not be judged by appearances." He said and handed the rice paper in his hand to Liang Xing, "Come on, read it to everyone."

"Yes, Master." Liang Xing took the article and began to recite it aloud.

Xiao Suo suddenly realized when he heard it—it was clearly the article he wrote yesterday—then he appealed extremely aggrieved: "Master, that is not Zhao Xiaoxi's article, it is my article, I did not cheat, nor did I lie."

The old master gasped for breath, with a goatee fluttering under his chin, and said angrily: "It's already at this time, how dare you slander your classmates? You said it was your article, why did it say Zhao Xiaoxi's?" Name? You said you didn’t cheat. Is this plagiarized text your handwriting? Did you hand it over to my master? If you didn’t break the ruler at Shen’s house, I will teach you today. You child, really ——Master really misjudged you! Call your parents tomorrow, this wind will never be taken lightly!"

Xiao Suo had nothing to complain about, and the nine-year-old boy suddenly understood what "June Feixue" was.

After school, he cried all the way home, explained the ins and outs to his mother, rubbed his eyes and twitched and said, "I... I will never... never go to... school again! Mother, I really... really I'm not lying, really not!"

The mother sighed, hugged him and comforted him and said, "Dubao doesn't cry, he's too old to cry. It's not a big deal. Let daddy go to the wife's house to explain clearly at night, and then everything will be fine."

Little Xiao Suo cried until he was dark, and grabbed his mother's skirt to wipe away tears: "No... I don't want to go, Master won't listen, he is Zhao Xiaoxi's uncle... They all bully Dubao!"

Just as the mother was about to speak, his father said, "We won't be able to go to this school. Today we sold medicine and got ten taels of gold, which happened to be used to make up a child student in the county. Let's not wait for the county exam, and go directly to the scholar exam. I Still don't believe it, without them, our unique treasure will not take the exam?"

"Butongsheng..." the mother hesitated, "It will cost a lot of money, and you have to go out of the way to give gifts. Is ten taels of gold enough?"

"enough."

Hearing what his parents said, Xiao Suo wiped his tears and said, "Daddy...I'll go back, I won't cry anymore."

Daddy rubbed his face and said with a smile: "If you don't go back, Dubao will become a great weapon in the future. The chick knows the ambitions of the great, we don't have the same knowledge as them. You can study at ease, as long as you are willing to take the exam, your parents will go bankrupt for you .”

"I must study hard." Xiao Suo threw himself into his father's arms, "Thank you, father and mother."

Thank you, Young Master Shen.he thought secretly.

Thank you for saving me from disaster.

"Girls here, just one word - Shui Ling!"

"Is that a word?" Shen Yan patted Qin Chuan's head and snorted, "I don't like that, don't you know?"

"It's not good?" Qin Chuan stared wide-eyed, his index finger stayed in mid-air for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh--I understand, I understand. You are the one in the Haosiqian building, right?"

"Siqian Building?" Shen Yan has been away from home for six years. From being a third-class military household to a fifth-rank guerrilla general, he has gone through various battles and has almost no time to wander around the capital. places of interest.

Qin Chuan smiled meaningfully and said, "You'll know when you're gone, let's go now. Anyway, I can take whatever I want, and I'll accompany you for a fresh one today."

Shen Yan and him left Chunfeng Building, crossed Cuihua Garden, walked to Lianhua Street, and saw a beautiful hexagonal building ahead, brightly lit in the night, like a lantern.

Qin Chuan took him in with ease, threw a piece of gold to the bustard, and she led him with a smile on his face, through layers of beaded gauze curtains, and sat in the upstairs "Yunshan" private room.

"Choose a few good boys for our general, gentle and beautiful." Qin Chuan said in a playful manner, "General Shen is my savior, without him I would have died in the battle of Yuntai, how can you Greet him well. Those who are talkative, jealous, and winking, don't send any of them. Be careful to anger the general!"

The bustard covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Look at what you said, Mr. Qin, how can there be such a thing in our building? Everyone is lovely, but everyone is attracted to each other. Besides, your Mr. Qin is here, who would dare Neglect, I will pick the best one without asking. I heard that General Ling Shu Qin Huan has been promoted again, so congratulations."

"My fourth uncle's letter of appointment was sent out from the Ministry of Officials yesterday, and even Zuo Yiwei has not received the news yet. You guys are so good, you know it so soon." Qin Chuan curled his lips, "Isn't this general a good man?" Yes, you don’t need to congratulate. It’s okay, just call up my young master’s little snacks, and they’ve all neglected our General Shen.”

The bustard went out in response to the sound, and soon brought seven or eight boys, some gentle and fair, some gentle and obedient, some delicate and tactful, some romantic and coquettish, all kinds of styles, all kinds of flavors, let you choose.

Qin Chuan inspected enthusiastically, pointed to a man in blue satin clothes and asked with a smile: "What's this called? He looks really handsome, not bad at all compared to the sisters in Chunfeng Tower and the sisters in Cuihuayuan."

"Young Master has a good eye. His name is Qi Feng, and he is the one with high social status here." No matter who he is referring to, it is probably the same set of rhetoric.

Qin Chuan knew it well, and asked Qi Feng in a warm voice: "Have you read the book, can you play the piano?"

"Young Master Hui, I can read a few words, my piano skills are not good, and I have the eyes of dirty Fang's family." Qi Feng said softly.

"Well, you can't go wrong if you listen to the words." Qin Chuan took out two ingots of gold in satisfaction, threw one ingot to the bustard, and put the other in Qifeng's hand, regardless of his struggle and refusal to accept it, he patted his wrist and said : "Take it, I gave this to you, your wife dare not take it."

The bustard echoed: "Young master, what are you trying to do to you? It hurts you, so hurry up and put it away."

Qi Feng nodded and said, "Thank you, Young Master."

Qin Chuan smiled, and turned back to ask Shen Yan who was leaning against the window: "Hurry up, pick one. Look, all of them stand out, don't they satisfy you?"

Shen Yan withdrew his gaze and asked Bustard: "What's outside here?"

"Uh..." Bustard explained awkwardly, "That's South Street, and people from the south go there to enter the city."

"Then go north along that road, where is it?" he asked again.

Qin Chuan walked over with frowning eyebrows, glanced around, and saw a group of people on South Street walking northward, too far apart to see their faces clearly, but because of the bustling place, under the light of the lights, they could see their general figures—— There is one person in the middle, with a blue cloth robe, like a chrysanthemum and a bamboo, which is particularly conspicuous.

"Your eyes are too sneaky, you can see it." Qin Chuan sincerely admired, "Going north from South Street at this point, it should be a test for the exam. It looks like that dress, They are the only ones who are so poor that they can’t afford to live in a store, and they have to rush to Beicheng where the land is cheap.”

Shen Yan pulled his lips, closed the window and said, "I won't pick any more, you all go out."

Bustard looked disappointed, turned around and led a few people out.Finally, followed by a man in white, who said something to the person in front of him, and smiled suddenly, with two dimples on his dimples.

"Wait." Shen Yan walked closer, "What's your name?"

"I..." The man froze, "Return to the general, my name is Ling Guaner."

Qin Chuan leaned over with great interest, and heard Shen Yan say in a low voice: "Lingguan... just show me a smile."

The bustard gave a "puchi" laugh, which made everyone laugh.Ling Guan'er's face turned red, and she also bent her thin lips.The dimples are looming, like two puddles of water in them.

"It's a pity...it's too big." Shen Yan snorted, "It's not as small and cute as Liwo. Forget it, you can keep it."

The bustard got his gold and left happily.

Qi Feng and Qin Chuan went to tune the piano by themselves, Ling Guan'er slowly sat beside Shen Yan, and poured him a glass of wine: "General, do you have worries in your heart?"

"How do you know I'm worried?" Shen Yan took the wine glass and drank it down.

Lingguan'er pursed her lips: "You have sorrow in your brow and eyes, too thick to melt away."

"You are my confidant." Shen Yan poured another cup to feed him, and took a new cup to drink by himself, "Then take a guess, where can I make up for the piece that I lack in my heart? "

"...in a dream." Lingguan'er smiled, "In the dream, I don't know that I am a guest, and I am greedy all day long."

Shen Yan said lightly: "You are very good at talking, but it's a pity..."

"The general has already said two 'pity's for a cup of tea." The Lingguan said, "You have to tell me where the pity is, otherwise how can you make people reconciled?"

"It's a pity..." Shen Yan was thoughtful, "It's almost that interesting."

"What do you mean, where is the difference?" He asked.

Shen Yan poured in another cup, and said with a smile: "If I knew, I wouldn't be sitting here, and I wouldn't be sighing three 'pity's."

"Then why doesn't the general take pity on the person in front of him?" He made a pun.

"Not today." Tonight, the strings in his heart that had been silent for a long time suddenly moved, and there was a slight sound, which was fleeting.

what is it then?

Or, who?

Shen Yan shook his head, laughed mockingly: "I probably... have a nightmare."
