Li Li

Xiao Yanjin had quite a few farm shops, among which he bought a piece of hill after Li Li left, planted cypresses, and found someone to take care of them carefully.

Li Li got off the carriage and already realized where this place is, no matter how strange this place becomes, the road under his feet is still clearly imprinted in his mind.In an instant, Li Li's face paled, and he felt a great panic in his heart. He couldn't move his feet at all, and he didn't even have the strength to turn around and run away.

"Don't be afraid." Xiao Yanjin noticed that Li Li's face was pale, and took his hand: "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you there."

Li Li pursed her lips, and took a step back in resistance, with obvious fear on her face.

At the end of this road is a grave, where Li Li buried Li's father and mother after they committed suicide.He has come to worship once in so many years, and has never been here again.

If Li Li knew that Xiao Yanjin brought him here, he would definitely not obediently follow Xiao Yanjin.He's been back for so long, and Yan Gongwang has told him several times, but Li Li didn't come to worship after all, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare.

Never before has Li Li been so timid and resisted like this time, standing on this road, he couldn't move his feet and raise his head to face his parents.He still remembered that his parents were poked and scolded at the spine, and they also beat and scolded Li Liyi to serve others, coveting glory and wealth.They were also ashamed of Li Li, and finally committed suicide.

Li Li was afraid, if he hadn't followed Xiao Yanjin back then, then his parents would be spoiling their grandchildren now, instead of being buried in the loess ground, with maggots crawling all over their bodies, and turning into bones with age.

Now that he was asked to burn a stick of incense to worship, Li Li had no face to face them.Under the nine springs, did they forgive him or did they deny him?Do you think he is dirty?

Li Li took a few steps back, one foot away from Xiao Yanjin.

"Lili." Xiao Yanjin wanted to hold him.

"Don't come here." Li Li screamed, her voice was desolate, her whole body was tense and on guard, and her eyes showed desperate and uncontrollable fear without any concealment.

"Lili, don't be afraid." Xiao Yanjin's heart ached so badly that her heart was broken.The first time he heard Li Li's voice was when he broke his tendons.

Xiao Yanjin ordered someone to press his wrist, and did it herself.Li Li's eyes were filled with fear and despair, and she asked him why he was so cruel

At that time, there were people who begged him for mercy, but Xiao Yanjin never softened his heart.At that time, he didn't have the pain that his heart would be gouged out and bloody like now.

Fearing that Xiao Yanjin would come over, Li Li bluffed and showed his fangs: "Why did you bring me here? What are you? Are you able to come here?"

Li Li kept backing away, Xiao Yanjin was afraid that he would fall and did not dare to push him too much: "We won't go, there is a Zhuangzi here, let's go there first."

"I want to go back."

"It's getting late." Xiao Yanjin looked at the setting sun and said, "Hey, let's stay one night first and go back tomorrow. Bandits have been looting everywhere recently, so if you run into danger when it's dark..."

Li Li still couldn't relax his guard, he was still very vigilant towards Xiao Yanjin, but it was obvious that he no longer resisted.

There is a Zhuangzi on the mountain. Xiao Yanjin would come here every Qingming and Chongyang, and the anniversary of death, to bathe and fast for three days.

Li Li silently followed Xiao Yanjin along the way, and arrived at Zhuangzi after walking for a long while. This place was different from Xiao Yanjin's other Zhuangzi in that everything was extremely simple.

From the gate of Zhuangzi to the lobby is a pond covered with asphalt stone bricks, and several koi are raised in the pond.There are several lanterns hanging on the porch opposite, and the servant who guards Zhuangzi stands aside and waits.

Xiao Yanjin took Li Li's hand and stepped on the stone bricks to the corridor: "Have a good rest here tonight."

There are only four servants in Zhuangzi, and this time Jixiang did not follow, and stayed in the mansion to take care of Li Yuan.Li Li didn't dare to walk around casually, she sat on the porch and looked at the yard.

Xiao Yanjin came over with a plate of water chestnuts, and sat down next to Li Li to peel the water chestnuts.

"I come here every year." Xiao Yanjin handed the white meat to Li Li's mouth: "If you are not here, I will always come here for you."

There was bitterness in Li Li's mouth, and even eating water chestnut had no taste.

Pa... Xiao Yanjin peeled off the water chestnut shell: "I don't want to forgive, but to repent."

"Repent for what?" Li Li smiled: "You are not wrong!" Li Li's almond eyes were full, and the water shone brightly: "I have always been wishful thinking, and my parents are also mine, and it is me who caused them to be scolded, unfilial I am the one who does not come to worship, I am the one who did wrong, and I am the one who should repent." Li Li said: "My lord, what did you do wrong? I need you to repent."

Every word was accurate, the needle hit the blood, and Xiao Yanjin's flesh and blood were badly pierced.

It is impossible to get the slightest forgiveness for what he has done one by one.

Back then, Xiao Yanjin didn't think about Li Li. In his eyes, everything Li Li did was just wishful thinking. Li's father and mother, Li and Li, worked in the mansion according to their duties. Accumulate and burn bones.

This incident has always been an unhealed wound in Li Li's heart.

Xiao Yanjin made up her own mind and didn't want Li Li to forgive him, but she never thought that she would touch his untouchable scar.

Xiao Yanjin opened his mouth, he wanted to yell that this was not the case, but was interrupted by Li Li.

"You are the master, and my parents are slaves. If you are like this, my parents will not be at peace."

Xiao Yanjin's heart was full of blood, the plate in his hand was not stable and fell to the ground, the peeled water chestnut rolled to the ground, and the flesh was stained with mud.

Xiao Yanjin didn't bother to pick it up: "Lili, do you want to divide us so clearly?"

Li Li looked at him: "Don't dare not ignore your duty."

There is an insurmountable hurdle between them, even if they are intimate, this invisible abyss still lies between them.

It's not someone else, it's the past.

Li Li was taught a lesson by Xiao Yanjin, and I am afraid it will take her whole life to get over this hurdle.Even if Xiao Yanjin is willing to pull him out now, he is still cautious in every step and cannot trust him wholeheartedly.

Xiao Yanjin went to pick up water chestnuts, but her hands twitched. She picked up two water chestnuts and fell, rolling under the blooming flowers.

"What should I do?" Xiao Yanjin grabbed her wrist violently, shivering from the cold.He murmured, his expression almost collapsed.

For the past 20 years, even though his life in the first ten years was unsatisfactory, it has been smooth and smooth, and after he has achieved success, what he wants will be delivered to him without asking.Along the way, Xiao Yanjin has never changed her goal, nor wavered by it.But apart from Li Li, now he can't ask for anything he wants.

"You tell me, what should I do?"

Xiao Yanjin's eyelashes were trembling, and her whole body was so fragile that it could shatter if touched.

It's not the first time Li Li saw his frail appearance, his heart was broken, and he softened: "You bought me back, my life is in your hands, I won't leave without your words. "

Li Li said so more than once, clearly telling Xiao Yanjin that the relationship between them is just business, master and servant.

Xiao Yanjin's heart hurt badly, her throat was filled with fishy sweetness, her mouth was filled with the smell of blood, and a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth...
