set of flowers

When Le Yang was a beggar when he was young, there was a rare female beggar in the Earth Temple where he stayed.She is very young, much younger than all the female beggars Le Yang has ever seen.

Le Yang asked her name, but she had a withdrawn personality, and she didn't seem to like being known by her name, so he called her sister.

My sister would occasionally take the initiative to talk to Le Yang, but she always said very little.My sister would silently sew torn clothes for him, and give him some food from time to time.Le Yang would give half of it to his grandfather, but his grandfather always told Le Yang that he didn't like it with gestures without even trying it.

Le Yang felt it was very strange, he opened his arms and emphasized to his grandpa: "It's delicious, grandpa, super-delicious!"

Grandpa thumped his back, pointed to his tongue, frowned and waved his hands, to the effect that he was old and didn't like to eat these things anymore.

Xiao Leyang felt sorry, and sighed pretending to be old-fashioned, but when grandpa put the piece of caramel in his hand in front of him, he subconsciously smiled.

Regarding the food, Le Yang was impressed once more.On that day, my sister begged for a piece of pastry from somewhere. The pastry was round on the outside, not like steamed buns or cakes. The top surface was covered with a golden luster. Carefully bit off the crispy outer skin, and the black and red fillings appeared inside. Touching the figure with the tip of his tongue, the taste of happiness quickly climbed into his eyes.

Looking at the excited Le Yang, she rarely showed a smile, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!" He swayed happily.

He wanted to hide it and only tasted a little every day, but his sister told him that the pastry would go bad and it would not taste good after a long time.

"I'll bring it to you next time." My sister said.

That night, it rained heavily in Luojing, and there were a few more strange beggars in the Earth Temple who came to shelter from the rain.Le Yang was not afraid of life, but those few beggars who were swearing at every turn made him feel scared, so he hid beside his grandfather and rubbed his knees with his small hands.

Grandpa lovingly hugged Xiao Leyang on his crossed legs, and Xiao Leyang still relieved Grandpa's pain by pressing and rubbing.

I don't know what happened, the beggars approached my sister, and after the dispute, they began to take off her clothes.

The people in the temple turned a blind eye to it, and Le Yang, who was too young to know where he was, was about to go forward when he was hugged tightly by his grandfather.Grandpa sighed, took his hand, and motioned him to plug his ears.Le Yang hesitated, and the grandfather who couldn't speak anxiously patted his leg, urging him.When he did so, Grandpa covered his eyes.

The ears were covered by the palms, but the cries of the sister and the man's insults covered the sound of the rain, and leaked into the ears from the junction of the palms and the pinnae.After the night rain gradually subsided, other strange sounds also slipped in. Accompanied by buzzing tinnitus, Le Yang felt uncomfortable listening to it, but he was unable to isolate the sound from the outside world.

Le Yang asked: "Grandpa, I can hear you even with my ears plugged. Can I put my hands down? My hands are sore."

Grandpa sighed, allowed him to put down his hand, and put down his hand himself, then picked up Le Yang and put it down again so that Le Yang's forehead could rest on his chest.

Before turning around, Le Yang saw a naked man grabbing his sister's waist and ramming him... He also saw his sister giving up struggling, like a broken puppet, her eyes were blank.

Le Yang held back his vomit, and was forced to turn around and obediently bury his head in Grandpa's arms.

He was afraid, not only of those bad guys, but also of looking at his sister with that look.

Before he knew it, Le Yang fell asleep, and when he woke up, he was lying on the thatch beside his grandfather.

It was not yet dawn, but the beggars had already left. Le Yang sat up, and in the dim light of dawn, saw her sister lying in front of the land father, curled up in a ball, naked.

The desperation emanating from her sister lingered in this dilapidated small temple. Le Yang observed her, and after a while, she tiptoed to pick up her torn clothes, and then carefully covered her with them.But the older sister, who was motionless, patted his hand away after he approached.

Le Yang still covered her with clothes.

He is sad.

The moment he turned around, he saw his grandfather who had woken up at some point and opened his arms to him.Le Yang ran to his grandfather, threw himself into his arms and wept softly, while his grandfather gently stroked his back and patted him...

My sister blamed me for not saving her—Le Yang thought.

Le Yang hesitated at the door of the dim sum shop, and when he saw an old lady with a kind face stepping out of the shop, he mustered up the courage to go up and asked nervously: "Ma'am, how much is the cheapest dim sum in the shop... "

The old woman didn't answer the question, but bent down and asked kindly, "Do you want to buy it?"

Le Yang looked at the two pennies in the pottery bowl, and raised his head: "Can I buy one for two pennies?"

The old woman smiled: "I bought chestnut cakes, but I don't want them any more, so you can take them." She handed the snacks wrapped in oiled paper and straw rope to Le Yang.

Le Yang took the snack in a daze, and before he had time to thank him, the old lady left slowly.

Le Yang turned around and looked at his grandfather standing across the street staring at him. He carefully carried the dim sum into his arms and ran towards his grandfather.

"grandfather!"

His smile gradually faded away, and joy spread all over his body - he thought he would be scolded again, but the old lady not only treated him kindly, but also gave him a big bag of chestnut cakes.

That's great, for the sake of so many snacks, my sister will definitely forgive him-he will tell my sister that he will go to practice kung fu, and will definitely protect my sister and grandpa in the future!He wants to tell his sister that today he is different from yesterday, and he will please his sister to eat from now on...

But my sister couldn't wait for the future, so she committed suicide—using the rusty scissors, she sewed the torn clothes back on before committing suicide, probably because she wanted to walk decently.Grandpa dug a hole behind the temple with another beggar, and carried his sister to bury her.Everyone is illiterate, so they can only pick up a piece of wood and insert it as a tombstone.

Le Yang didn't help, he just sat on the thatch, opened the oil paper, and stared at the pool of blood in the temple for a long time.

... My sister hated him, and she hated everyone in the temple, so she chose to die in front of their eyes.

After thinking about the result, Le Yang picked up a piece of golden chestnut cake and put it in his mouth, but this time, he couldn't taste it.

When grandpa came back, he took the oil paper and brought the chestnut cake to grandpa.This time, grandpa took a rare piece to eat, but he only ate one piece.

Grandpa raised his right hand, opened and closed the right hand with five fingers, opened and closed again, Le Yang knew that grandpa was saying thank you to him.

Le Yang rewrapped the chestnut cake, he thought, maybe grandpa would want to eat it tomorrow.

He hid the chestnut cake under the thatch, and when he remembered to eat it the next day, the chestnut cake smelled different.Le Yang tasted a bit, and swallowed it as he tasted sour, and asked, "Grandpa, is the chestnut cake broken?"

Even in midsummer, the steamed buns can last for three days. How could the chestnut cake, which is more expensive than steamed buns, go bad the next day?Don't say that Le Yang couldn't think of it, and neither did Grandpa.

But his sister had warned him.

Thinking of her sister, Le Yang couldn't help crying.

Grandpa shook his head, stuffed the remaining three chestnut cakes into his mouth in one gulp, then nodded with a smile, and told Le Yang: Delicious.

"Really?" Le Yang didn't quite believe it.

But grandpa still used the same rhetoric: getting old, the taste is different.

Le Yang threw himself into Grandpa's arms, and Grandpa patted his head.

... He liked his grandpa the most, but that year, just before winter came, his grandpa died of a cold.

He failed to protect anyone, but lost all protection.

Long-term memories are buried with the passage of time. When I grow up, I don't know if the pictures that occasionally flashed in my mind are dreams or real.

When someone asked about his past before the age of five, he could only say one thing——

"I have a grandpa who is dumb and treats me well."

……

Hua Qianyu followed An Mingxi carefully, looking at An Mingxi's back, not knowing whether he was angry or sad.Hua Qianyu couldn't figure it out, and was afraid that if she stepped forward rashly, it would make her unhappy.

Earlier, I thought that An Mingxi's angry appearance was really cute, but when An Mingxi was really angry, Hua Qianyu was about to panic, and he didn't know what to do now.The crime was confessed, the oath was sworn, and everything that could be said was exhausted, but An Mingxi still ignored him, and Hua Qianyu was a little frustrated.

In the afternoon, although today's sky was not as clear as yesterday's, it was still bright. Unexpectedly, it rained without warning, and the wispy rain gradually turned into raindrops, which wet the dirt road and hit Hua Qianyu. overhead.Taking this opportunity, Hua Qianyu ran forward, pulled the sleeve of his left hand with his right hand, used it as an umbrella, and blocked An Mingxi's head.

"Brother, let's find a place to hide from the rain?" Hua Qianyu pretended to look around, and then set his eyes on An Mingxi's face, only to realize that An Mingxi was also looking at him—this look The expression doesn't look like he's angry.

Hua Qianyu opened his mouth, seeing that An Mingxi didn't avoid his gaze, he said, "Brother isn't angry with Yu?"

An Mingxi asked leisurely: "Why are you angry?"

"Since you're not angry, why did my brother ignore me?"

An Mingxi didn't reply, but asked instead: "Do you still dare to talk nonsense in the future?"

"Don't dare, don't dare," Hua Qianyu smiled, and regardless of the rain, he hugged An Mingxi into his arms, "It's just as long as my brother can trust me."

An Mingxi had no choice but to say, "How decent is it in public."

Hua Qianyu refused: "How can the mountains, forests and wild roads be regarded as a big crowd? What's more, Yu likes his brother so much. If he can't even have a hug during the long road, Yu will die of loneliness?"

Hearing this confession, An Mingxi lowered his hot face, raised his hand, and when he was about to hug back, he stopped, raised his hand instead, and coughed before his mouth, as a warning to Hua Qian Yu is also warning himself not to be led astray.

"Have you hugged enough?" An Mingxi asked.

"Not enough," Hua Qianyu hugged him even tighter, "Just now I really thought that my brother didn't want me anymore... If my brother looked back, he might still see Yu crying."

If An Mingxi looked back, he would find that the word "uncertain" meant that this matter did not happen.But what Hua Qianyu said was true, An Mingxi felt guilty, thinking that it was really too much for him to ignore others, so after hesitating, he still hugged Hua Qianyu back.

Feeling An Mingxi's movements, Hua Qianyu sniffed the fragrance of An Mingxi's neck contentedly, raised his hand, and put his palm on the back of An Mingxi's head, so as to block some rain for An Mingxi.He looked ahead, his eyes turned from Liu Huo who was walking with an umbrella to the two strangers caught between the servants.He remembered their faces, the two tea drinkers in the tea shed.The young man looked up at Hua Qianyu generously, while the old man stood obsequiously behind the young man, not looking like a grandparent, but like a master and servant.

When Liu Huo held the apricot-yellow oil-paper umbrella on top of their heads, Hua Qianyu let go of An Mingxi, took the umbrella, and supported An Mingxi together.

"they are?"

An Mingxi turned around following Hua Qianyu's gaze, and also saw the two of them.

"They came to inquire about people. They asked if we had heard of a young man named Qian Wenjing."

"What do you say?"

Liu Huo replied: "I said I never heard of it, but it happened suddenly, and I was worried that the visitor was not good, so I didn't let him go."

"it is good."

After finishing speaking, Hua Qianyu smiled slightly at An Mingxi, and the two walked towards the two strangers side by side, while the pedestrian on the opposite side also walked towards them.

The rain didn't get any bigger, it even got smaller, so apart from Hua Qianyu and An Mingxi, no one held an umbrella.

Hua Qianyu asked the two of them: "You and I have never faced each other before, how did you come to ask us?"

The young man bowed to him, and said: "I heard that the accents of the gentlemen are from the Luohe area, and it is more likely that they are from Luojing."

"Oh? Confirm with your accent?"

"Haiyi has been in business with my father since childhood, and has come into contact with many business gangs from Luojing."

"What are you looking for, Mr. Qian?"

Hearing this, Lan Haiyi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Do you know each other?"

Hua Qianyu did not respond to this, but instead asked, "You came to us only because we came from Luojing?"

Lan Haiyi nodded: "Qian Lang participated in this year's scientific examination. If you are in high school, if you are from Luojing, you may have heard of it."

"Are you his family?"

"No...that's okay," Lan Haiyi could only tell in detail, seeing their guard against him, "My sister, Lan Yuxi, accompanied Qian Lang to Beijing for the exam a few years ago, and there has been no news so far. Haiyi is planning to go to Beijing to find her." film."

He is the younger brother of Miss Yuer.

What a coincidence... Do you want to reveal the truth?If he knew that his sister was dead...

After hesitating again and again, Hua Qianyu still chose to announce the news of his death, because he believed that people should not be given illusory hopes, making them spend their lives looking for or waiting for someone who does not exist.

Hearing the news of his sister's death, Lan Haiyi was shocked, and after repeating Hua Qianyu's words in his mind, he reconfirmed: "Dead?"

"Yes."

"How? You lied to..."

Lan Haiyi stopped talking because he knew that Hua Qianyu had no need to lie to him.He turned and said, "Maybe it's just the same name, how do you know—"

Hua Qianyu interrupted him: "Just because the one who killed her was Mr. Qian Wenjing Qian."

Lan Haiyi lowered his head, unable to see his expression.

Hua Qianyu continued: "The person who buried Miss Yu'er is Miss Xian'er from Changxiyuan. If you want to worship, you can ask Miss Xian'er whereabouts."

Hua Qianyu was also unable to say words of comfort, so he said to Dong Taiyuan and the others: "Let's go." But before the group took two steps, Lan Haiyi asked, "I want to go to Beijing to sue the Lin'an county magistrate. With the governor of Hangzhou, what should I do?"

Judging from other people's attitudes towards Hua Qianyu and An Mingxi, they would not be ordinary people, and Hua Qianyu called Lan Yuxi "Yu'er girl", Lan Haiyi thought he was not a bad person.

Hua Qianyu turned around and asked, "Why?"

"Lu Bixing, the magistrate of Lin'an County, colluded with the bandits and allowed the bandits to kill my family and take away my property. My eldest brother filed a pleading against Hangzhou Governor Jin Jing, but he was imprisoned for defamation, and his life and death are still uncertain." Lan Haiyi red-eyed, every time Every word came out of his mouth with resentment.

In order to save his elder brother, he could only put his faith in the person he met for the first time.

"Is there any evidence?"

Lan Haiyi clenched his fists: "None."

"Are there any charges?"

Lan Haiyi came over, took out a paper of complaint from his skirt, and handed it to Hua Qianyu.Hua Qianyu opened it, and on the paper were crimes written in blood.

An Mingxi asked, "Going to Hangzhou?"

Hua Qianyu put away the blood book and said, "Go, but not now."

The author has something to say:

The memories of before the age of five are blurred in Le Yang's mind, but Le Yang has come to this day under the influence of it.

Even though life is difficult and he suffers from many stares, Le Yang grew up loved, so he loves the world, and he wants to be a good person; he doesn't want to lose his "grandpa" and "sister" again, so he made up his mind To protect the son and Liyou; he has witnessed the misery of his sister, so even though he did not have too much bond with Liyou in the past, the almost suffocating pain still weighed on his head, so he subconsciously thought that he had to save, Protecting Li You, excessive compassion also made him regress and even obey Li You.

Both he and Le Liyou were a little abnormal.Fortunately, Le Yang's abnormality coincides with Le Liyou's abnormality, otherwise their story would probably be very sadistic.
