Linluo sunset

After Lin Haofeng sent Lin Haoyang away, he walked towards the gate of the city alone, wanting to see if there were any suspicious people, and when he reached the downtown area, he saw a circle of people in front of him.

"Stinky boy, you dare to steal my things!" A middle-aged man dragged a little boy to prevent him from leaving.

"It's not yours!" The little boy held a jade pendant tightly in his hand: "This is Xiaoxu's! You are a bad guy!"

"Bastard!" The middle-aged boss was annoyed, he raised his foot and kicked at the little boy, but felt a pain in his leg, and when he looked up, he saw a man in black standing beside the little boy and looking at him.

"Who... are you?!" The boss was terrified by Lin Haofeng's eyes, and he couldn't bear to admit defeat, so he poked his neck and shouted: "This little thief in broad daylight stole things from my store. I can't come back!"

"You are talking nonsense! This jade pendant was obviously left to him by Xiaoxu's mother, and Xiaoxu even said that you cheated him! You are the bad guy!" No.

Lin Haofeng frowned, squatted down and looked at the little boy: "Can you show me your jade pendant?"

The little boy hesitated and nodded.

Lin Haofeng took it over and saw that it was a very ordinary jade pendant, but the workmanship was quite fine, with a small word 'square' on it.

"What evidence do you have to say it's yours!" Seeing Lin Haofeng's strange eyes, the boss took courage for himself: "The four words Tongsouwuyu in our store were written by the magistrate himself!" Lin Haofeng looked at the sign on the boss's head. Sweating and dodging eyes, seeing the eyes of the people around me, I already understood the general idea, so I turned my head and asked the little boy in a friendly voice: "What evidence do you have to say it's yours?"

"It's not mine." The little boy tugged at the corner of his clothes. There are two, there is one in Xiaoxu's place, I have seen it, it is exactly the same as this one."

"There are so many identical things in the world!" The boss snorted.

Lin Haofeng ignored him and continued to ask the little boy: "Xiao Xu is your friend? What's his last name?"

"Fang." The little boy looked at Lin Haofeng: "Xiaoxu said that this jade pendant was left to her by his mother. A few days ago, he and his grandfather just lived here. They were unfamiliar with the place and had no money, so they entered the pawn shop. I want to pawn off the things I don’t need urgently for some money, but who knows that the boss took the jade pendant but refused to accept it, and kicked him and grandpa out.”

"Little thief, you are talking nonsense!" The boss became furious. Just as he was about to scold, he felt his neck go cold, and his legs felt weak: "You...what are you doing!"

"I think you're too noisy." Lin Haofeng put away his sword, glanced at the plaque hanging at the door of the pawnshop: "Li He?"

"Yes, Master Li often comes to our store." Hearing Li He's name, the boss regained some courage: "Are you afraid?"

Lin Haofeng was too lazy to entangle with him any longer, originally wanted to meet the prefect Li immediately, but was afraid that the profiteer would send someone to bully the little boy halfway, so he simply reached out and hugged the little boy and went out.

"Hello...!!" The boss bluffed a few times, shook his head and walked in, thinking that he should take it as a bad luck. This young man looks troublesome and doesn't know the details, so it's better not to provoke him.

"Uncle." The little boy struggled uncomfortably: "Let me go by myself."

"Where is your home?" Lin Haofeng ignored him, and walked forward on his own: "I have something urgent to send you back."

Frightened by Lin Haofeng's cold tone, the little boy stuck out his tongue secretly: "My home is in Qingxi Village, right outside the city gate."

Lin Haofeng walked quickly all the way with the child in his arms, and the little boy was extremely envious. He usually took two hours to walk this distance, but Lin Haofeng arrived at the entrance of the village almost in the blink of an eye. The little boy looked at Lin Haofeng with admiration in his eyes.

"Are you there?" Lin Haofeng put down the child and patted the dirt on his body: "Be careful next time, go back."

"Uncle." The little boy grabbed Lin Haofeng's sleeve: "My name is Maverick, thank you for saving me today."

Lin Haofeng smiled, turned around and was about to leave, but was stunned.

Under the willow tree not far behind, a familiar person was standing there quietly, with unconcealable panic in his amber eyes... and a hint of surprise.

"Brother Zining!" Xiao Niu cheerfully rushed over, "Why are you standing here?"

Yeluqing came back to his senses, and lowered his head to hide a smile: "I was bored in the house, so I came out, you go back first, I will go to your house tomorrow morning, okay?"

"En." Xiao Niu nodded, and bowed to Lin Haofeng respectfully: "Thank you uncle."

Lin Haofeng was a little helpless, why did he call Yeluqing brother and his uncle?

"...Why are you here?" Yeluqing didn't dare to look him directly.

"I saw him being bullied on the way, so I sent him back." Lin Haofeng calmed down his emotions: "Do you live here?"

"Well, I met Axiu and his grandfather a few days ago, they live here, so I will stay here." Yeluqing glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, hesitated, and said: "Do you want to... Go home and sit? It's raining."

"...Nope." Lin Haofeng wiped off a drop of rainwater that fell on his face: "It's raining, you should go back quickly."

Yeluqing froze for a moment, nodded, and walked back silently.

Summer thunderstorms come as soon as they are said, and it seems that they have changed from falling raindrops to pouring rain in an instant. In the misty rain and mist, seeing Yeluqing's slow footsteps in front of him, Lin Haofeng sighed in his heart, and stepped forward a few steps. Holding her in her arms, she ran forward: "Where do you live?"

Being held in his arms, Yeluqing felt that there was too much emotion in his heart, and it was difficult to breathe.

The two entered a small courtyard together, and saw a little girl holding an umbrella and preparing to go out. Seeing Lin Haofeng carrying Yeluqing into the courtyard, they were surprised at first, but then said happily, "My lord, why are you here?"

"I'll take a look at him." Lin Haofeng carried Yeluqing into the bedroom, and said, "You change your wet clothes first, and I'll boil some water for you to take a bath, is there any medicinal wine?"

"I'll do it myself." Yeluqing looked at Lin Haofeng: "Your clothes are wet, change first—"

"I'm fine." Lin Haofeng was in a hurry, turned his head and walked out: "Hurry up and change your clothes, or it will hurt again later."

"Brother Zining, he is so kind to you." Axiu blinked her eyes: "Hurry up and change your clothes, I'm going to the kitchen."

Yeluqing nodded, he couldn't tell what it was like. He didn't want to drag him down at the beginning, so he should have completely given up on him just now, but why couldn't he say a word of cruelty once he met his eyes?

Lin Haofeng squatted in front of the stove to light the fire, and Axiu came and squatted aside: "My lord, I'll boil the water, you go talk to brother Zining."

Lin Haofeng smiled and looked at her: "Don't call me an adult, call me Brother Lin, why are you here?"

"This is my hometown." Axiu fanned the fire with her fan: "Since we were rescued by adults, my grandfather and I have come back. Grandpa can do some carpentry work. We have a good life. Grandpa said that adults are ours." Great benefactor.

"You told me to call me Big Brother Lin." Lin Haofeng poured water into the pot: "What about Zining?"

"Brother Zining just came here a few days ago. Grandpa met him in the town and asked him to live in the village as well. Tell outsiders that he is a distant relative of my family. Brother Zining can study, and he promised to teach There are a few children in the village who are studying, everyone likes him, and someone even tried to match him yesterday, but Brother Zining didn’t agree.” Axiu pursed her lips, “I also want to grow up and marry Brother Zining.”

Lin Haofeng couldn't help laughing at the little girl's sulking, stood up and brought the bath water to Yeluqing's room, then asked Axiu to bring the medicinal wine, and didn't say much, just turned around and gently Closed the door for him.

Inside the house, Yeluqing soaked in the bathtub and felt his heart was in a mess.

Outside, Axiu patted Lin Haofeng: "Brother Lin, go sit inside, it's raining."

Lin Haofeng nodded, followed Axiu all the way to the front hall, and when he entered the room, he saw an old man wiping the rain off his face with a handkerchief.

"This is...?" The old man was beaten unconscious that day, so he didn't know Lin Haofeng.

"Brother Lin is our savior." Axiu said, "He was the one who saved us that day."

"It turned out to be a great benefactor." The old man hurriedly thanked him when he heard the words, and was supported by Lin Haofeng, and said with a bitter face: "Old man, I am most afraid of others saying thank you to me in my life. Besides, I also want to thank you for taking in your son." What about Ning?"

The old man waved his hands again and again: "Your Excellency, Mr. Qi is also our savior, why don't we keep it for dinner at night?"

"Okay." Lin Haofeng nodded: "My surname is Lin, don't call me an adult, it sounds awkward."

"Hero Lin, sit down first, and I'll cook with Axiu right now." The old man was a simple person, and he couldn't say much thank you. After making tea for Lin Haofeng, he hurried out to cook.

Lin Haofeng was bored alone in the room. He saw that there was a small door next to him. He went in and took a look out of curiosity. He saw some books inside and a pen, ink, paper and inkstone spread out on the table. He walked up to him and was stunned. The person drawn on the paper...is he himself or Hao Yang?

Axiu came in with the washed fruit and saw Lin Haofeng standing in front of the table in a daze, so she smiled and said, "Brother Zining drew, there are many more."

"You said before that you and your grandfather were exiled because your mother was from Mobei, so do you know this word?" Lin Haofeng asked Axiu, pointing to a small Mobei character on the painting.

Axiu nodded: "I know, my mother taught me something, this... Feng."

Axiu's voice was not loud, but Lin Haofeng was shocked for a long time, and felt that the softest part of his heart became very warm little by little.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?" Axiu pushed Lin Haofeng.

"It's nothing." Lin Haofeng smiled, squatted down and looked at Axiu seriously: "Did he ever say why he wandered alone? Also, what is his reason for rejecting those who propose marriage?"

"My grandfather asked Brother Zining before, and he said that he didn't want to drag others down, and he told the matchmakers that he would never get married in his life." Axiu recalled seriously.

Lin Haofeng stood up, shook his head with a smile, and rushed into the rain.

"Brother Lin, where are you going!" Axiu was anxious.

At dinner in the evening, the old man complained about why his granddaughter didn’t stop Lin Haofeng, Axiu pouted with an expression of grievance, Yeluqing sat aside, he had no appetite at all, he left, this is what he wanted, but why, My heart hurts so much.

The next day, Yeluqing woke up groggy and wanted to go to Mavericks' house to teach some children to read, but she was stunned when she went out.

Lin Haofeng leaned against the door of a small courtyard nearby with his sword in his arms, with an unconcealable smile on his face: "Good morning."

"You..." Yeluqing felt a little dizzy again.

"I bought this house." Lin Haofeng raised his eyebrows: "I think the scenery is good."

Yeluqing looked at him for a long time, dumbfounded, and then said, "I'm going to Xiaoniu's house."

"I'll go too." Lin Haofeng followed.

Yeluqing didn't speak or express his refusal, but Lin Haofeng was guilty, and he took the initiative to explain: "Did I save him, go and ask his parents to thank me."

……

When I arrived at the village entrance, I saw Maverick talking with a white and clean little boy.

"Brother Zining, uncle, you are here." Xiao Niu looked at the two of them with a smile.

Lin Haofeng coughed, squatted down and said seriously: "Well, little devil, don't call me uncle from now on, call me Brother Lin."

Yeluqing couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Well, Brother Lin." Xiao Niu nodded, turned around and pulled another little boy: "Xiaoxu, your jade pendant was found by Brother Lin for you."

Lin Haofeng raised his eyes to look at the little boy, and felt that the look was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The little boy and Lin Haofeng looked at each other, then turned to the Maverick and said, "Then you go to study, I'll go back first."

"Aren't you going to study with us? Brother Zining is very good. It's boring for you to study at home alone." Xiao Niu was a little reluctant.

The little boy smiled at him, but turned and ran away.

Lin Haofeng frowned, feeling a little strange when he stood up.

"What's wrong?" Yeluqing asked beside him.

"Do you recognize this little boy?" Lin Haofeng asked Yeluqing.

"I don't know him. I heard that he came from outside with his grandfather a few days ago. The people in this village are simple. Seeing that his grandfather was seriously ill at the time, he found an empty house for them to live in, and returned it to them. I sent some food and medicine, and then the old man stayed here after he recovered, earning some money by writing letters for others, and rarely going out on weekdays." Yeluqing turned to look at Lin Haofeng: "What's the problem? ?”

"That little boy looks familiar. Judging from his running figure, he seems to be good at martial arts." Lin Haofeng raised his eyebrows: "But it's nothing to do with me, you go teach the children to read, I have something to do in the city .”

Yeluqing nodded, and led the calf inside.

"Zining!" Lin Haofeng took two steps, then turned around and shouted.

"What's wrong?" Yeluqing turned around.

"You...won't leave again?" Lin Haofeng felt a little uneasy: "I bought that house without discussing with you, don't be angry." Yeluqing was stunned, and said: "You buy your house, Why should I be angry?"

"Then you won't sneak away again, will you?" Lin Haofeng was still worried.

Yeluqing shook his head, and dragged the calf into the yard.

Lin Haofeng smiled, turned around and strode towards the city.
