After breakfast, Xiao Ran bought joss sticks and paper money and went to the north of the city, and Bai Ye naturally followed.Huanxi was sent by him to take care of Xiao Tang and Brother Li in the name of taking care of him.

Bai Ye wanted to call for a carriage, but Xiao Ran didn't want to, saying that the north of the city is not far away, and it's just a walk away, so why waste the money.

Bai Ye thought, I'm fine, but I'm afraid you won't be able to walk when the time comes.But then I thought again, this is also a good time for the two of them to be alone, the time in the carriage is too short, so it is not bad to go for a walk.If Xiao Ran really can't walk, I'll just recite it.

So Le Diandian agreed, took some heavy incense candles for Xiao Ran, let him take the paper money himself, and the two went to the north of the city like shopping.

It is said that it is to worship the ancestors, but in fact there is only the tomb of Qionghua's mother.

Qionghua's mother, Aunt Ping, came to Jiankang City when all her family members died due to the plague. She originally wanted to join her cousin, but her cousin was a powerful character. He Fu is a maidservant.After Ping'er died, the concubine's room could not enter the ancestral grave, and no one came to collect the body from her cousin, so Qionghua paid for her own money and asked someone to bury her mother in a peach blossom forest in the north of the city.

Back then, when Qionghua and Xiao Ran left Jiankang City, they had come to worship.Qionghua said at the time that she didn't know when she would be able to come back to see her mother again, but she also died of illness in a foreign country.

No matter what the reason is, Xiao Ran always misses Qionghua deeply. This time when he returned to Jiankang City, he always wanted to find a time to pay homage, but it was not possible until now because of many trivial matters.

The two walked for a while in silence, when Bai Ye suddenly spoke. "If I had known that Master He would do this yesterday, I would not have asked you to go with me that day. I just thought he was a philistine, how could I have known that he would be so heartless."

Hearing this, Xiao Ran raised his head and gave him a comforting smile. "Don't think so. Father-in-law is father-in-law after all. That's his temperament. It's fine if you get used to it."

"It's fine if you just get used to this kind of thing. Hey, Qionghua has been dead for so long anyway, and the two of you really have nothing to do with each other. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, don't say I won't call you, it's you If I know about it, I shouldn't come here again." In the end, Bai Ye was still annoyed.

At that time, he only thought that Master He's birthday banquet would prevent Xiao Ran from leaving immediately. He had thought that Master He would not treat Xiao Ran very much, but he never expected that Master He would be so disrespectful to Xiao Ran in front of so many outsiders.

Xiao Ran should be better protected than him, how could he hurt Xiao Ran?In the future, don't say that Xiao Ran will go to the He Mansion again, even if the He Mansion wants to have anything to do with Xiao Ran, he will not agree!

Xiao Ran didn't seem to care much, just smiled and changed the subject. "It's such a hot day, I want you to accompany me to pay homage to my mother-in-law and go back to Wuzhou City to look at the shops. I really trouble you."

"It's okay. Anyway, my affairs are over. Even if it's not because I want to go back to Wuzhou City with you, I have to leave in the next two days." Bai Ye took a piece of incense, and put a candle on top of the incense, like playing Jugglers generally have a good time.

"Accompanying me to Wuzhou City will affect you? If not, I will go there by myself, so I don't need to trouble you."

Bai Ye was upset when he heard that, he put away the stuff with a shake of his hand and glanced at Xiao Ran. "Why, you don't want to go with me?"

"No, I'm just afraid of delaying your trip. If that's the case, I'll pack up when I get back later."

"En." Bai Ye's expression softened a little. "Actually, I'm not in a hurry. I need to tidy up my personal clothes, big items or your books. Anyway, Xiao Tang and that Li Yunfei are leaving after us. You should take care of them first. Is it okay to pack it and send it back to Wuzhou in a carriage with Xiaotang and the others?"

Xiao Ran thought about it and nodded. "good."

When offering incense to Ping'er, Bai Ye also snatched three sticks to worship. "Actually, I should have married Aunt Ping's child. According to age, it must be Qionghua's sister. If I married Qionghua's sister, our brother-in-law should have been closer."

Xiao Ran threw the last handful of paper money into the air, bowed again, stood up and said with a smile: "Where are the brothers-in-law and relatives?" Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage, and Aunt Ping's health has not improved since then. But even if Qionghua has a younger sister, the father-in-law will not betroth the child of the concubine's room to you. If you want me to say, it will be Ruhui Bar."

"Oh, sure enough, you still know Mr. He. Well, just leave it alone, and I'll clean it up later." Bai Ye inserted the incense into the soil and got up, pulling away Xiao Ran who wanted to clean up the grave. "Speaking of which, Qionghua's grave is on the mountain outside your village, right? Haven't you been back in the past two years?"

"When I returned to Wuzhou City at the beginning of the year, I went to tidy it up. Besides, Qionghua's tablet has always been with me. I think Qionghua will understand me." Ye took two sips of the water bottle that he handed over, before answering.

"...Then, you've traveled so many places over the years, but is there anyone you paid special attention to?" Bai Ye asked casually, looking far away.

Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head, while putting back the lid of the kettle. "How can there be such an easy thing. I am a down-and-out scholar who wanders around, whose parents are willing to marry off the daughter? Besides... I don't want to feel sorry for Qionghua anymore. I promised her that three lives and three lives will not be separated. .”

Bai Ye stared at Xiao Ran, not knowing what he wanted to know the most.According to Xiao Ran's words, he seemed to have felt sorry for Qionghua or changed his mind before. Is that person himself?

If it's me, then, are you still willing to start over with him?

This time it will definitely not make him sad, this time it will definitely be good to him.

Even... Xiao Ran, as long as you are willing, as long as you are willing to follow me, I love you. Are you willing?

Don't be with Qionghua for three lives and three generations, stay with me, and I will accompany you, okay?

After all, dare not speak.

After returning home, Xiao Ran packed up his clothes and other items first, and when Yunfei and Xiao Tang came back, Bai Ye took the lead and took Xiao Tang, Li Yunfei and Xiao Ran to Fumanlou again. After that, Xiao Ran and Li Yunfei Separated from Tang Mubai temporarily, and left Jiankang City with Bai Ye in a carriage.

Because he wanted to be alone with Xiao Ran, Bai Ye didn't ask Laifu to drive his carriage, but rented one in Jiankang City.Naturally, the quality of the carriage couldn't be compared with Bai Ye's, but Bai Ye was very satisfied, because the carriage was very small, and he thought that if he was in a hurry and missed the inn, the two of them could just sleep in the carriage together.

But it was too hot, Bai Ye began to worry about whether Xiao Ran would suffer from heat stroke after walking for a while.It's so hot that even if you put down the sunshade curtains on all sides of the car, it's still stuffy, and the wind blows on your body and it's sticky.

Xiao Ran kept wiping his sweat with a sweat towel all the time, his whole face was so hot that it was extremely pink and tender, causing Bai Ye to turn his head to peek at it from time to time.

Walking halfway, Bai Ye followed the sound of water to find the creek, and called Xiao Ran to come out.After washing his face and body, he filled the kettle with water again, and when Xiao Ran looked refreshed and clean again, Bai Ye drove the carriage and started on the road again.

Repeated several times along the way, Xiao Ran made a fuss even if he wanted to pretend not to know Bai Ye's intentions. "I'm fine. I've been to the hottest places in the past two years. It's really fine. You'd better hurry up, or you'll miss the place to stay."

It's really good to miss it, the two of us sleep in the carriage together, and I'll accompany you to count the stars at night--Bai Ye can only move his mind for a few years, so he responded depressedly, and whipped his horsewhip fiercely.

The first day passed like this, and the second night Bai Ye came up with a new trick, insisting that he was in a hurry to hurry, and refused to stay at night since the evening, until he ran to a desolate place in the middle of the night without a village or a shop.

Xiao Ran became anxious when he saw it, but Bai Ye was delighted when he saw it.

No way, they parked the car by the side of the forest road, and the two of them got out of the car and looked around first. It was not like a place where wild animals haunted, but it was considered safe.Xiao Ran made a bonfire, and Bai Ye caught two roe deer, peeled the skins and skewered them on the branches to roast.

"Xiao Ran, let you have a taste of my cooking skills today. Heh, we run around all year round. I don't know how to do other things. It's also a must to grill some wild game by yourself. One for each person. You can't steal my food!" Bai Ye turned the roe over skillfully, and smiled smugly.

"It's so big, I can't finish one of them, how could I come to snatch you." Xiao Ran spat, the night wind was much cooler, he leaned against the tree trunk behind him and watched Bai Ye diligently roasting the roe deer , suddenly felt a little weak in my heart, I was taken aback, and hurriedly turned my head and stopped looking.

"Why do you eat so little? No wonder you don't gain weight! I heard that you have been to the desert, so I was curious. Why didn't the strong wind over there blow you away?" Bai Ye took a knife and cut it open. Looking at the back of the roe deer, I saw that the flesh was cooked, and took out a small white porcelain bottle from my pocket, and evenly sprinkled the powder inside on the two roe deer that were dripping with oil. "Okay, let's eat and have a look."

In fact, Xiao Ran was greedy when he smelled the smell of meat, and moved over as soon as he heard Bai Ye's agreement.Bai Ye handed over the smaller one first, and after Xiao Ran tried to take a bite, he turned his head and asked him, is it delicious?

Xiao Ran nodded, it was really delicious, with crispy skin and fragrant meat.

Bai Ye chuckled, took the bigger one and handed it over. "How about this, you eat the big one, and give me the ones you can't eat. The big legs are delicious, why don't you give it a try?"

Xiao Ran didn't want to, the one in his hand had been eaten twice, he didn't feel that he and Bai Ye were close enough to share like this.

Then shook his head.

Bai Ye snorted, pulled off the big roe's leg and handed it to Xiao Ran. "Here."

After all, Xiao Ran was a thin-skinned person, Bai Ye handed it over and couldn't justify not picking it up, so he reached out to take it and thanked him.Bai Ye smiled, took the two-bitten little deer in his hand and gnawed it himself.

I don't know whether it was Bai Ye's intention or Xiao Ran's carelessness, the place where Bai Ye lowered his mouth happened to be the place where Xiao Ran bit.

Xiao Ran glanced at it twice, felt his heart beating a little faster, so he simply turned his head to look at the fire and ignored him.

"By the way, there's something I haven't told you all this time." Bai Ye couldn't see Xiao Ran ignoring him the most, and when he saw Xiao Ran looking away again, he said.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Actually, the person who occupied your room was me..."

"What?" Xiao Ran was shocked, looking at Bai Ye, he didn't understand why.

Bai Ye scratched his head with one finger, and instead of looking at Xiao Ran, he lowered his head and said softly: "Back then, didn't you just leave like that? I don't have a place to stay in Wuzhou, right? I Knowing that you will go back, it is your home, and I will guard your home. It doesn’t matter whether it’s compensation or living by myself, it’s all okay, so I’ve lived in your home. These two years If I go back to Wuzhou City, I won’t live in the city, I will still live in your house as before... So this time you go back, don’t be afraid of having no place to live, your house is cleaned up for you every day.”

Xiao Ran looked at Bai Ye, opened and closed his lips several times, but couldn't make a sound.

He didn't know what kind of depression he felt in his heart. For two years, this man fell asleep on his bed and helped him guard the house, but he blocked himself out of the door like an outsider...

"Then why, Canxing didn't tell me? When I talked to him, he still asked me to report to the police?"

"There are a lot of things that Canxing hides from you. He always says that I left you in anger. How can he give me a good face?" Yes, go back this time and see if he demolishes the Deyi Building!

Hearing Bai Ye's talk about those years, Xiao Ran's face immediately turned pale, he lowered his head and silently bit the roe's leg, obviously unwilling to speak again.

Bai Ye sighed helplessly, it doesn't matter, after all, at least Xiao Ran didn't show a cold face to him, he should also be smiling, and for the rest, just take your time.

Xiao Ran, let's grind slowly!
