comeback [rebirth]

The two children not far away finally used up all the candles they were carrying, and when the river lantern gradually went away and disappeared completely, they ran back to the two elder brothers.

Hearing the sound of them stepping on the grass, Cen Yuan turned his gaze towards them and sat up cross-legged.

The older brother raised his head slightly: "Have you finished setting off the river lanterns?"

"Yes." Cen Yuan smiled again and rubbed his hair, "How about you? Have you finished talking with your mother and sister?"

"Yeah!" The children nodded sharply, "It's getting late, and if you don't come home, Dad will tell you."

It has been more than half an hour since Cen Yuan and the others stopped here, the sky was already completely dark, and there was no unnecessary sound in the surroundings except for their voices and Ge Ying's chirping from time to time.

Cen Yuan asked: "Where do you live, is it safe to go back?"

"It's right there." The eldest child turned around and pointed to a village not far away. Cen Yuan followed the direction he pointed and saw a figure just in time.

When the young child saw the figure, he immediately ran away: "Daddy!"

The person who came bent down and picked up the child, and asked in a low voice, "What did you and your mother say?"

While listening to the child counting the words he and his mother had said with his fingers, he walked towards the crowd.

Now in front of his father, the elder brother seemed more calm than before, and obediently went up to explain: "Daddy, we met these two brothers when we set off the river lanterns, so please give them peace with mother." My sister set up a river lantern."

The man immediately understood, looked at Cen Yuan and the two of them and said, "Oh, I'm really sorry, the child is ignorant, and I wasted your time."

——Although he doesn't have much knowledge, compared to ignorant children, he can still see that the two people in front of him have extraordinary temperament, the clothes on their bodies are of high quality, and the swords and accessories on their waists are not cheap. generation.

Cen Yuan quickly waved his hands: "It's not a big deal. I was worried about their safety when they went home, but since you're here, it's okay."

The man immediately thanked him again, feeling more and more sorry. When he saw the horses beside him, he asked, "You two are going to enter Chang'an City? But it's already Haishi, and the city gate has already been closed. I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city. "

Cen Yuan thought to himself: Coincidentally, they left the city at the moment when the city gate was closed.

"We won't enter Chang'an tonight." Cen Yuan said, "Just find a nearby inn and stay overnight."

But the man said: "But the nearest inn is still hundreds of miles away. When you two arrive, it will probably be midnight."

"..." Cen Yuan finally felt a headache at this moment.

He gave Yan Xuan a gouged look, and asked him with his eyes: Why don't you choose the direction when you go out of the city, at least find a place with an inn.

Yan Xuan: "..."

Having said that, how could Ge Ying's speed be comparable to that of ordinary horses? Cen Yuan thought for a while and then politely replied: "It's okay, our horses run fast, it shouldn't take so long."

The young child was held in his father's arms and looked back and forth at them. Now he seemed to understand what they were discussing, so he tugged on his father's sleeve and said cautiously: "Daddy, why don't you let brother Let's stay at our house."

"This..." The man looked down at the child and paused for a moment, then looked up at the two of them again, "The child is right, if it weren't for them, the two of you would not be late to go to the inn. The humble house is simple, but there is just enough space The house is not far from here, if the two of you don't dislike it, come and stay here."

Cen Yuan originally wanted to refuse directly, but the young child slipped from his father's arms after shaking twice, trotted forward and grabbed the hem of Cen Yuan's clothes, looked up at him, and glanced at Yan Xuan from time to time.

Cen Yuan: "..."

This child is really not afraid of strangers, he clung to Cen Yuan tightly, looked at him with blinking eyes, his eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of confusion.

——After all, it is hard to turn down the hospitality.

Cen Yuan smiled and sighed, then looked back at Yan Xuan.

He himself doesn't care much about the size of the house, as long as he can live in it, he is afraid that the little general will not get used to it.But Yan Xuan only said: "Listen to you."

That's right, Cen Yuan immediately felt in his heart, the little general is not afraid of eating sand on the battlefield, how could it be possible that he is not used to living now.

He turned to the man and said, "Then bother you."

·

The children usually don't have much chance to ride a horse. After Yan Xuan untied Ge Ying's rein, they stood not far from the horse, showing yearning and fear at the same time.

Yan Xuan glanced at them, and they flinched at the same time, their heads pressed together, and they were discussing something.

"..." Yan Xuan thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to ride a horse?"

Those two heads immediately stopped avoiding his gaze, and looked at him at the same time: "Think!"

Without further ado, Yan Xuan stopped with Ge Ying and carried the two children onto the horse one after another.

The children were driving the horses and immediately shouted: "Wow!"

"Hey, you two—" the man immediately lectured the two children, and apologized to Yan Xuan, and stepped forward to ask his children to stop being self-willed, but was stopped by Cen Yuan.

"Children play every day, so they go." Cen Yuan smiled, "We don't mind, don't worry about troubling us."

Yan Xuan acquiesced from the side, only Ge Ying exhaled twice from his nose with "Ho Chi Ho Chi" unconvinced.

"This..." The man just wanted to say something, but seeing that the two of them didn't mind, it wasn't a matter of appearances, and he chatted enthusiastically with the child, so he stopped saying no.

The group soon returned to the village. While chatting with the man, Cen Yuan learned that his surname was Xue Mingcheng, and he was a farmer who farmed nearby. He had no time to take care of the two children, so they could only let them go to the river to release the river lanterns by themselves.

The thatched cottage closest to the river is their home, and they can already smell the strong aroma of food outside the yard.

"Haven't you had dinner yet?" Cen Yuan asked.

"Yeah, I just came back from work, and I made food for the two children, but no one came back after I finished it, so I went out to look for it." Xue Cheng took the child off the horse, "You two have eaten No? Would you like to have some food together?"

Cen Yuan looked at Yan Xuan, who looked back at him, and he replied: "We have eaten it all. And Uncle Xue, if you let us eat it all, you will not be enough."

Xue Chengdao: "Some rough tea and light rice, just make some more, you are welcome."

"I'm not being polite, but I've eaten it." Cen Yuan said, "Well then, I'll trouble Uncle Xue for breakfast tomorrow."

"Okay." Xue Cheng readily agreed, "Then I will prepare more breakfast tomorrow, and I will take you to rest first."

He drove the two children to eat first, and then took them to one of the rooms.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw that the room was very clean, and it didn't look like an idle room at all. There was a smoking teapot on the table, and all the cabinets were full, and every place was illuminated by candles. Every place reflects warm colors, and every corner is full of fresh vitality.

only……

Cen Yuan lingered around the door, and found that inside it should be——

There is only one bed.

Cen Yuan: "..."
