On the last day of September, at night, in Qingcha Town.

It was the time when late autumn was about to enter winter, and Leng Yujin was afraid that the warbler would catch the cold, so he not only added a brazier with a hollow cover indoors, but also asked him to add a cloak whenever he was outdoors.

Tiying was worried that Leng Yujin would feel uncomfortable seeing the fire for a long time. She didn't want to use charcoal fire at first, but Leng Yujin would do it herself when she saw that he didn't light a fire.Tiying couldn't, so she had to make a fire by herself, and then put the brazier close to herself but far away from Leng Yujin, taking care to block Leng Yujin's sight from time to time, at least so that he would not come into close contact with the fire.

Tomorrow is the Cold Clothes Festival, and it is customary to go home to worship the ancestors. Chen Yu took leave of absence after finishing his homework today and went home to visit his parents. Only Tiying and Leng Yujin were left in the courtyard.The autumn night was cold, and Leng Yujin didn't let the warblers move around in the courtyard, so the two drank tea and chatted in the main room to kill time.

"Tomorrow is your birthday." Leng Yujin asked, "I haven't asked before, how old are you this year?"

"Tomorrow will be 21 years old." Tiying replied, and then asked Leng Yujin, "Where is Master?"

"I'm 28 years old this year."

According to Yuan State's practice, age is divided into real years and false years. The year of birth is recorded as zero years old. After a new year, one false year will be added, and after a birthday, one actual year will be raised. However, general regulations and rules are based on false years.Therefore, when asked about age, the false age will be reported before the birthday of the year, and the real age will be reported only after the birthday.

As soon as Tiying heard it, she knew that Leng Yujin's birthday had not yet passed, so she asked again: "When is Master's birthday? I have to think about what gift to give in advance."

"Birthday..." Leng Yujin repeated, with a slightly dull tone.

Before the accident at home, his birthday was indeed an important day, and his parents would arrange dishes for him to celebrate and give him gifts.But after the night of the fire, he never celebrated his birthday again.It's not that the sword fairy in white didn't care about him, but that his birthday was the day when Leng's family was wiped out, and it was also the memorial day for his father and mother.

Seeing that he was silent, Tiying called him cautiously: "Master?"

Leng Yujin came back to her senses, saw Tiying's slightly uneasy expression, and thought to herself, it was a good intention for Tuer to celebrate her birthday, and he didn't need to know about these things, even if he didn't mention them.

So he replied: "The fifth day of November. The day I was born happened to be the winter solstice of that year."

"Winter solstice..." Tiying thought for a while and said, "Master is from Lanzhou, so the winter solstice should be for eating glutinous rice balls, right?"

The customs of the festivals in each state of Yuan State may be slightly different. Most areas in Zhangzhou and the south eat glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice, while in the north they mostly eat dumplings.

"Yes. I remember my mother would use red dates paste to make stuffing for glutinous rice balls." Leng Yujin recalled her childhood.

He remembers things very early, and remembers them clearly. He still remembers his parents' voices and smiles, but he can't forget the bloody fire that night.I don't know whether this wonderful memory is good or bad for him.

And the brisk voice of Tiying Ying sounded: "It's decided! On Master's birthday, I will make glutinous rice balls stuffed with red dates. Then I will boil mutton soup to make a bowl of longevity noodles and bury two eggs." He also added two eggs on purpose pronunciation.

Leng Yujin looked at him and said with a smile, "Okay, as you like." It was completely like a good master who spoils his apprentice.

After falling asleep that night, Leng Yujin had a rare dream again, dreaming about her childhood.

In the dream, the young him was sitting on a chair, looking at the sky without saying a word.Suddenly, he moved, climbed down from the chair, walked up to the sword fairy in white, and called him: "Master."

The white-clothed sword fairy was cleaning the Fengming Kongguqin, and was startled when he heard the sound, turned to look at him, and called him in a low voice: "Jin'er?"

"Yes."

The white-clothed sword fairy was overjoyed, knelt down and hugged him, looked left and right, saw that his expression was clear, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "You finally spoke, I have been really worried for the past two years."

"I seem to have had a very long dream."

The white-clothed sword fairy was silent for a moment before replying: "Now that you wake up, let's live well. When I took you as a disciple, you were still young, and... now I will ask you again, would you like to practice with me?" kendo?"

"Tu'er is willing. It's just that my family has practiced medicine for generations, and I don't want to forget this."

The sword fairy in white nodded and said: "I understand. Although I can't teach you personally as a teacher, I will collect medical books for you and take you to visit famous doctors, okay?"

"Thank you Master."

The sword fairy in white touched his head, and said in a low voice: "The Wuming Taoist made a fortune for you before, saying that you are a ghost, and you entered the world for obsession, and this obsession is related to the Cold Clothes Festival. Disciple, you Do you know what month and day it is today?"

"...Is today the Winter Clothes Festival?"

"Exactly. The Cold Clothes Festival is a day to pay respects to the ancestors. It seems that your obsession really has something to do with your parents." The white-clothed sword fairy said, and picked him up. "Let's go, I'll take you to visit the grave."

Leng Yujin woke up when he saw the tomb where his parents were buried together in his dream.Opening his eyes, he felt a little bored in his heart, so he turned to look at the person beside him.

Tiying was lying on her side facing him, fast asleep.Because Leng Yujin insisted on covering him with a thick quilt, and he felt a little hot, so he secretly stretched out his hands and feet under the quilt.

disobedient.Thinking secretly, Leng Yujin sat up, gently stuffed Tiying's hand back into the quilt, and pulled his quilt at the end of the bed to cover his feet.

Disturbed by the dream just now, Leng Yujin didn't feel like going back to sleep now, so she got out of bed, put on her coat, and went out with her sword.He stood in the yard and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, but his thoughts were brought back to the time in his dream.

On that Cold Clothes Festival, he accompanied the sword fairy in white to sweep his parents' tombs. After returning to his residence, he offered tea to his master and formally started learning swords.The second month is November, and the fifth day is his birthday and the memorial day of his parents.The white-clothed sword fairy did not celebrate his birthday, but accompanied him, burning paper and incense, and recited scriptures on rebirth.

On the day of his fourth birthday, Leng's family was wiped out, and his father died. He and his mother were rescued by luck, and were later taken in by the sword fairy in white.When he was five years old, several members of Qiu's family were assassinated, perhaps because the enemy was dead, and his mother followed him on the day of his father's funeral, leaving him alone.On the Cold Clothes Festival when he was seven years old, he woke up from two years of autism, and his life continued.

In a blink of an eye, 21 years have passed since the day in the dream, and he also bid farewell to his master Baiyi Sword Immortal ten years ago, traveled around Yuanguo Kyushu for several years, and became a well-known cold-faced Hades in the world.He is really the apprentice of the sword fairy in white. After becoming famous, he also chose to live in seclusion in the mountains, avoiding the world.

21 years is really a long time, as long as Tiying's age...

Thinking of this, Leng Yujin opened his eyes wide, and then turned around to look at his dormitory. From the slightly open window, the dim light of the night pearl was reflected in his eyes, making him feel dazed for a while.

He has long recognized that Crying Eagle is his obsession, and the Hanyi Festival mentioned in the hexagrams refers to Crying Eagle's birthday.And just at that moment, he realized that the day Tiying was born was the day he woke up from his autism.Such a coincidence...

Leng Yujin walked back to the dormitory quickly, and when she pushed the door, she lightened her movements and quietly walked back to the bedside.He put down his sword, and looked at the warblers by the dim light of the night pearl beside the bed.This person still maintained the previous sleeping position, but stretched out his hands and feet again.

Sighing, Leng Yujin took off her coat, climbed onto the bed, and put Tiying's hands and feet back under the quilt again.After thinking for a while, he simply lay down facing Tiying, and after pulling off his quilt, he hugged Tiying directly, pressing down on her with his hands and feet to prevent him from moving around again.

Tiaoying felt a little uncomfortable in her sleep, but she didn't wake up in a daze, and continued to sleep.In his dream, he felt as if he had arrived in the desert to the west of Yuan Country. The continuous sand dunes were beautiful, but it was too hot.

When she woke up the next day, Tiu Ying unexpectedly found that Leng Yujin was still sleeping.What surprised him even more was that he was hugged by Leng Yujin with the quilt in his arms.

what's the situation?The crowing warbler was blinded.

After a while, he came back to his senses and tried to move, trying to sneak out of Leng Yujin's arms.But unfortunately, when he moved, Leng Yujin woke up.

"Good morning, apprentice."

Leng Yujin's voice was a little hoarse from just waking up, and it immediately got into the ears of Tiying who was very close, and Tiying's hands and feet went limp.He felt hot when he was wrapped in a thick quilt, but now he was so hot that he was about to sweat.

"Are you so hot?" Leng Yujin looked at the beads of sweat on his forehead and compromised, "Then I'd better change the quilt back for you, and we'll talk about it when winter comes."

"...Okay." Tiying replied hesitantly, and then whispered, "Master, I can't move you like this."

It was only then that Leng Yujin noticed that she was hugging Tiying tightly, and quickly let go of her hands and feet, explaining: "Last night you always let your hands and feet out restlessly, so I had to hold you down."

"Oh." Ti Ying responded, secretly looking at Leng Yujin's face.What catches the eye is still the other party's usual upright and serious expression. Tiu Ying knew that he was telling the truth and was not hiding anything, so she couldn't help being a little disappointed.

Leng Yujin had already sat up. He patted the quilt on Tiying's body and said, "It's your birthday today, so take a day off. I'll cook noodles and medicine for you, so you can sleep for a while."

Although the crowing bird agreed, how could she sleep.After Leng Yujin went out for a while, he got up and dressed and combed his hair. After washing, he found an open space in the main room and practiced Wu Qin Xi.While practicing, he still recalled the voice of Leng Yujin saying that sentence when he just woke up.

Why does Master even have such a beautiful voice that is so touching?Are the reincarnations of gods so powerful?

Because I was thinking wildly in my mind, the movements of my hands and feet were not in place.When Leng Yujin came into the main room with her face in her face, she saw that he was practicing in a mess, and just frowned and wanted to say something about him, but remembering that today was his birthday, she decided to forget it in the end.

"Teacher, come and eat noodles." As he spoke, Leng Yujin put two bowls of noodles on the table and told Tiying, "There is no mutton soup, but I buried two eggs for you."

"Ok?"

Tiying didn't understand. He came over and sat down, picked up the chopsticks to sandwich the noodles, and then remembered that he and Leng Yujin said last night that he wanted to make a bowl of longevity noodles with mutton soup for the other party's birthday, so the smile spread across the face. Lips bloom.

"Thank you, Master. Reciprocate, and I will bury four eggs for Master when the time comes."

"No, two are enough." Leng Yujin quickly stopped, "Eggs are not poisonous, but they are the same as medicinal herbs, too much is always bad."

Tiying suppressed her smile and just ate the noodles silently.He was just joking with Leng Yujin, and he knew that the other party would take it seriously.It is even more interesting to hear such a serious teaching now.

Seeing him move his chopsticks, Leng Yujin said, "My cooking skills are average. After morning practice, I'll go to the county town to buy you pastries."

Tiying shook her head and said, "This noodles are delicious." Then he looked at Leng Yujin and said, "Compared with cakes, I want Master to be with me all the time today."

Leng Yujin suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, and he responded, "Okay." Then he secretly felt his pulse with his hand under the table.However, the pulse condition was normal, not the palpitations he thought.

When he was wondering, he heard Tiying urging: "Master, you should eat quickly, or the noodles will be lumpy."

After the two of them ate the noodles, Leng Yujin packed up the bowls and chopsticks, went to the kitchen to put the medicinal materials that had been soaked just now into the medicine pot, and then returned to the main room with a pot of hot water.

Tiying took the hot water, picked up the tea leaves she just took out, and started making tea.His movements of making tea are very smooth, ironing the cup, washing the tea, brewing, and dividing the tea. His flipping fingers drew round arcs in the air, and then he held a cup of hot tea in front of Leng Yujin.

Leng Yujin took the teacup, first smelled the aroma of the tea, and then took a sip of the tea soup. The slightly hot temperature slipped from the tip of the tongue to the body, which is indeed a great enjoyment in the cold weather of autumn and winter.After drinking tea, he put down the teacup, went to the study to pick up the things he ordered in the county half a month ago, and brought them back to the main room.

"This is your birthday present." Leng Yujin said, pushing the brocade box in front of Tiying.

Tiying thanked her, opened the lid of the brocade box, and saw a cowhide bag inside.Take it out, unfold it, and there are neatly arranged silver needles for acupuncture.It was indeed a gift in Leng Yujin's style.

"I'm going to learn acupuncture after that, so I ordered a set. Do you like it?"

Tiying smiled and replied, "I like it very much."

As long as it is a gift from Leng Yujin, he will like it.And this set of silver needles and this leather case are exactly the same as the one that Leng Yujin carried with her.Such a gift that can be made into a pair, of course, you have to add a word of "very good" before you like it.

The author has something to say:

I also said before that Leng Yujin came to this world for the sake of Tiao Ying, and I really like this feeling of being destined and born as a couple.

Tiaoying teased her unintentionally, and Leng Yujin was tempted!But he didn't know it was tempting, he thought he had palpitations and went to check his pulse, hehehe...

It's a new week again.Thanks to all the little angels who collected and commented, I will continue to work hard to code!
