The sun is dim and the city is full of wind.

The old trees on the shore swayed slightly, and the green lake sparkled under the trees.

Yanji stood at the entrance of the alley, and in front of him was the bustling Baima Street in the imperial city, with people coming and going all around, the flags of the roadside wine shops fluttering in the breeze, catkins wafted over them and fell to the houses on the side, outside the house was a home In the teahouse, the storyteller slapped the gavel, and the audience listened mesmerized.

He stared blankly, and suddenly heard an old voice from the side: "Little baby, what are you doing standing here? Where is your adult?"

Little Doll?

Yan Ji was stunned, subconsciously looked down, and saw a pair of white, tender and fleshy hands, which were not at all different from the bony hands he had when he was lingering on the sick bed. Yan Ji paused, stretched out his hands and lifted his sleeves up When I mentioned it, I saw that I was still wearing a longevity lock with a bell on my wrist.

Yan Ji's fingers trembled uncontrollably.

He finally understood why he felt that the scene in front of him was both familiar and strange. It was familiar because this place was indeed the place where he was born and raised, but strange because it was the Baima Street in the capital many years ago.

……

After several lifetimes, he was actually reborn back to his childhood.

His eyes were a little dazed.

Rebirth means death.

What should Xie Wenzhuo, who watched him die helplessly, do?

"Little baby?" Seeing that Yan Ji had been silent, the man waved his hand in front of his eyes, looking worried, "Don't be afraid, I'm the owner of this tavern, can't you find a home?"

Yan Ji came back to his senses: "No, I came out with my father. He asked me to wait here after he went to buy books... Uncle, your wine smells so good. I heard from my father that the wine tastes better with age. Your family's wine should have been there for many years, right?"

Speaking of their own wine, the shopkeeper and You Rongyan didn't care that there was a child standing in front of them, and laughed: "That's not true, my winery has a century-old brand, and everyone in the capital knows that the wine is good."

He glanced back, and his voice was somewhat emotional: "The jar of wine just opened was sealed by Tiancheng in 49. In the blink of an eye, 40 years have passed, and I am old too."

Tiancheng 49 years, 40 years.

Yan Ji silently made the final calculation in her heart, and was taken aback for a moment.

It happened to be the 26th year of Tianning.

Yan Ji nodded subconsciously. The shopkeeper in front of him also had a grandson who was about the same age as Yan Ji. Seeing that he liked him very much, he was just about to say something, when he suddenly heard the storyteller in the nearby teahouse give a slap. The voice is loud.

"This time, what I want to talk about is the battle of Dongjiaguan not long ago. You all know that this battle is difficult and dangerous. General He and his son led the army to the pass. They were invincible with one man, and they were brave. It's a pity that God is jealous of geniuses. Although he succeeded in repelling the enemy, but his soul remained in the territory, and the details of this, let me listen to the old man slowly..."

Yan Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he looked towards the wall behind the shopkeeper. There was a Daqi National Calendar hanging there, and one page stayed on it clearly.

June nineteenth.

The 26th year of Daqi Tianning, June [-]th.

It was the first meeting that Yan Ji didn't know, but He Ji, Xie Wenzhuo and Fu Zhihuai clearly remembered.

Yan Ji had a premonition in his heart, and this premonition made him feel hot all of a sudden.

The shopkeeper in front of him then said: "It's a pity, General He. He is such a good person. Now almost all his family has gone, leaving only the youngest child. He looks calm on the surface on weekdays, but I Several times I saw the child hiding in the alley and crying secretly..."

Yan Ji almost blurted out: "He Ji?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment: "It seems to be such a name. Do you know him? If you do, go and have a look. That child is also very pitiful. He will be the only one left in the future. How can I live this life?"

Hearing what he said, Yan Ji felt uncomfortable: "I'll go and have a look."

After finishing speaking, he thanked the shopkeeper, turned around and ran towards the alley. When he passed the corner, he saw a stall selling jewelry on the side. Yan Ji saw a white jade pendant on it at a glance. The style was ordinary and the texture was rough. , but Yan Ji recognized it at a glance. It was the jade pendant that He Ji carefully placed as a treasure.

Yan Ji stopped and asked the price. The stall owner was a young man who looked like a doll and replied with a smile: "Ten Wen."

The price is very conscientious.

But Yanji didn't even have a penny.

Yan Ji touched his nose, stood silently in front of the stall for a while, and when he walked forward again, the longevity lock on his wrist was gone, but there was a white jade pendant with a warm glow in his hand.

Deep in the alley.

As Yanji approached, he heard a depressing cry from a distance. He could tell that the owner of the sound was suppressing his emotions as much as possible, but even so, the pain and despair in the cry were so strong that they melted not open.

He walked forward following the sound, and soon saw the person hiding in a dark corner. He huddled into a ball, buried his face in his knees with his head down, trembling slightly, and from time to time there was a suppressed and broken cry from his throat, like a A beast trapped only in despair.

Many years later, with a calm and tenacious personality, He Changxin, the leader of the invincible Baihu camp, was once just a child who was so sad and desperate that he only dared to hide and cry secretly, but how much pain would it take to transform a fragile child? Become the indestructible He Ji in the future?

Yan Ji felt distressed.

He lightened his steps and walked towards He Ji in the corner. The latter didn't notice him, buried his head and knees and cried softly, Yan Ji stopped in front of him, took a deep breath, and called him softly , and then put the jade pendant in his hand with a smile when he looked up: "I'm Yan Ji, what's your name?"

Behind was the hustle and bustle of people, and there was a breeze in the catkins, He Ji raised his eyes blankly, and saw a crimson figure standing against the light through his tearful eyes.

This figure gradually became clear in the sunlight, with a pair of soul-stirring peach blossom eyes, and vivid vermilion tear moles at the end of the eyes. At this moment, those eyes looked at him, and the softness and distress inside could be clearly seen, falling into He Ji's eyes, The gentleness is like the dawn, and slowly, it warms into my heart.

He has endured a lot these days. His father and brother were killed in battle, the glory of the General's Mansion was overthrown, tigers and wolves around were spying on the power in an attempt to evade it, and everyone's faces were so hypocritical that it was disgusting. Before he could get over the pain of losing his loved one, he was forced to Dealing with them, the whole person is covered with thin ice, and he is so depressed that he can't breathe every day.

But Yanji appeared in front of his eyes.

This is probably the only kindness he has come into contact with these days.

He Ji watched silently, and clenched the jade pendant in his hand with his fingers, which was still warm and warm.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yan Ji was also very disturbed, and when he was hesitating to continue to say something, he saw a warm smile suddenly appearing on the face of He Ji who had been expressionless in front of him, and it was fleeting. Then he stood up and looked directly at his Yan Ji: "My name is He Ji."

He paused every word: "Thank you."

This kind of He Ji was somewhat similar to the He Ji that Yan Ji was familiar with many years later.

Inexplicably, Yan Ji relaxed, smiled, and simply sat down beside him: he didn't speak, just quietly accompanied him.The two sat in the corner for a long time, and He Ji said first: "I'm in pain, I don't know what to do now."

He really suppressed it for too long, and now he suddenly found someone to confide in, and he couldn't help telling all the complicated things in his heart these days, his eyes were red, Yanji listened to him, and kept silent until he said After finishing, he raised his eyes and looked at the past seriously.

"You can, no one can bear that honor better than you."

"If you want to go to Dongjiaguan, then go. He Jiaerlang is not a coward. If your majesty disagrees, then please beg. Jin Shizhi is sincere and open, and he will always agree to you... From now on, you will gallop behind your father and brother." He grew up in the place of his life, and since then Hengdao has made great achievements in battle, and has supreme glory and respect from the world."

Yan Ji looked at He Ji: "He Ji, no one is better than you."

Seeing Yan Ji's eyes full of trust and seriousness, He Ji was willing to believe in that instant.

He lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly: "I have nothing now...do you really believe me?"

"Natural letter." Yan Ji laughed, with unparalleled eyes, pointing to the jade pendant in He Ji's hand, "When you return to Beijing with glory, bring it to me, I'll wait for you. "

These words came from the bottom of my heart, Yanji finished speaking and remembered He Ji's heinous daily routine of cheating marriages, and added another sentence to prevent misunderstanding: "At that time, this kind of waiting and entrusting him for life were two different things."

He Ji was a little confused.

He is still a child now, and he doesn't think there is any connection between the two, but he still smiled, with firm eyes: "Okay."

His smile was warm and bright, as if all the haze had never appeared in his heart, although the smile stayed for a short time.

Yan Ji was relieved and stood up: "It's too cloudy here, it's not good to stay here and ruin the foundation, let's go, it's very lively outside, I'll take you to have a look, okay?"

He Ji nodded, followed him and stood up, so obedient.

Yan Ji led him out of the dark alley, and smelled the aroma of peach blossom cake as soon as he went out, and couldn't help moving his nose.He Ji noticed it next to him: "Do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."

"……Do you have money?"

He Ji smiled, and took out the purse at his waist. It was heavy at first glance. Yan Ji was indeed very hungry, so he rubbed his belly: "Peach Blossom Cake."

"Okay." He Ji agreed, and quickly went to the pastry shop to buy a peach cake and handed it to Yan Ji. Yan Ji held the paper bag and took out a piece to He Ji, and then took a bite himself, squinting in satisfaction Eye.

A bag of peach blossom cakes soon ran out, and Yanji saw that there was still one piece left, and felt that he was hugging her too, and asked He Ji, "I can't eat any more, do you still want to eat?"

He Ji doesn't like sweets, so he shook his head upon hearing this.

Then a voice was heard behind him.

"Well, if you all don't eat... can you give it to me?"
