The night was getting dark, the Lin Mansion was still brightly lit, and the yard was very quiet, except for a few suppressed coughs occasionally, Daiyu was nestling in Jia Min's arms listening to her grandmother's house, seeing her coughing, she quickly patted her back with her little hand , bouncing down to the ground again, took the thick concoction from the girl's hand, sent it tremblingly to Jia Min, and said, "Mother, drink the medicine first."

Jia Min took it with a smile and drank it slowly. Daiyu held the small white tray and turned her head, looking at the hazy and dark night, lost in thought.

"Is Yu'er worried?" The subtle movements did not escape Jia Min's eyes.

Daiyu nodded and said, "Elder brother and father are not coming back." Suddenly she stared again, "How did Mother know?"

After rinsing and wiping her mouth, Jia Min smiled leisurely, and gently pinched Daiyu's pink cheeks with her fingers: "You are Mother's daughter, how can Mother not know what is in your heart? I was talking to you just now, and you were only absent-minded. Got it, you just need to rest assured, your elder brother is naturally sensible and calm, he has been going out by himself since he was six years old, and he didn't even ask someone to pick him up to and from school, Kuang Niang has already asked someone to meet him, wait for a while, he will come back Yes, if your father has something to do, he will also send a message."

Jia Min knew that although Daiyu was young, she was very preoccupied. These words were just to ease her heart. Even though she said so, she couldn't help worrying about Nanchuan. After all, she was just a nine-year-old child. Su Cheng is so big, and he didn't ask anyone to follow him before he left, how could he not make her worry?

At this time, Zhengfang saw the little girl Lusuo coming in, and said: "The master told Shiren to bring a message. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back tonight. Tell my wife, girl, go to bed."

Jia Min nodded. When Lin Ruhai used to be delayed by foreign affairs, he would ask someone to send Daiyu back. Here, he told the girl, "If Nanchuan comes back, let her know." Because he was really tired, he washed and lay down first. up.

But Xiao Daiyu couldn't fall asleep, she would get up every time and go to the door to have a look, until the girls and women urged Fang to go back and rest.

Just in the middle of a twilight, when I was about to fall asleep, I heard human voices vaguely. The nuns laughed outside and said, "Young lady just fell asleep, bro come early tomorrow morning."

Xiao Daiyu scrambled to her feet and hurriedly said, "Yu'er hasn't slept, Yu'er hasn't slept!"

Nan Chuan hurriedly rushed in, the nuns had no choice but to ask the little girl to light the lamp, and told Nan Chuan: "After talking with my sister, it's better to rest earlier", Fang all went out.

Nan Chuan was covered in dust, panting slightly, and his clothes were a little messed up, not the same as when Fang went out, Dai Yu hurriedly asked, "Brother, where have you been? Yu'er has been waiting for you for most of the night."

The corners of Nan Chuan's mouth were smiling, and his white-toothed eyes showed a different kind of beauty under the dim yellow light. He didn't answer where he went, but took out the jade pendant that Daiyu had lost from his bosom, and dangled it in front of her eyes. .

Seeing that the jade pendant was lost and found again, Daiyu clapped her hands and laughed happily. Nanchuan hissed softly, put the jade pendant back on Daiyu carefully, and told her: "This time, you must keep wearing it carefully. If you lose it again, brother But I can’t get it back.” It was half an order, half affection.

Xiao Daiyu nodded quickly, but couldn't help asking: "Why are my brother's hands shaking?"

Nan Chuan tried his best to suppress it, and said with a smile, "Perhaps it's cold in the sky." After putting it on for a while, he looked at it carefully.

If it was normal, Nanchuan must have been settled by Daiyu, and after repeated instructions, the two brothers and sisters must say goodbye to each other and make an appointment to meet each other tomorrow morning. For the past five years, it has happened almost every night. This time, Nanchuan made arrangements for Daiyu, saw her lying down, but didn't leave, just squatted down along the side of the small bed, with the same smile on her face as before, warm, and didn't speak, just smiled, with a sense of loss in her eyes Daiyu couldn't understand the weird mood.

Then he asked: "Brother, do you have something on your mind?" What a clever little thing.

Nan Chuan shook his head, touched Daiyu's soft temples, and whispered, "Yu'er, you must wear this jade pendant for life, don't lose it."

Daiyu tilted her head suspiciously: "My brother just said that."

Nan Chuan was startled, nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly asked a rather strange question: "Yu'er, if one day in the future, someone asks about your brother and asks if he treats you well, what would you say?"

Daiyu thought for a while: "My brother is kind to Yu'er. He teaches Yu'er to read and write, tells stories to Yu'er, plays clay figurines with Yu'er, hides and seeks, and tells stories to Yu'er. In short, brother is the best." After finishing, I felt strange again: "Brother, who would ask these questions?"

"That." The little boy's eyes seemed to rise from a watery mist, he blinked quickly, and asked with a smile: "If brother leaves, will you miss him?"

Daiyu's bewildered eyes suddenly widened, and soon, the little guy relaxed again, and smiled: "Yes, but it's okay, I can see my brother tomorrow, and I can play with him."

The little boy caught Daiyu's expression in his eyes for a moment, and he didn't know what was thinking in his head. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and smiled: "Yu'er, brother will play peek-a-boo with you tomorrow, okay?"

Daiyu liked the words the most, clapped her hands and laughed and said, "Okay, Yu'er has hidden it, you can find it."

Nan Chuan hissed, shook his head and smiled, and said slowly and seriously: "No, every time it is Yu'er hiding, this time brother hiding, brother found a new good place, tomorrow morning, brother will hide, just It's not so easy to find this time, Yu'er will take some time."

Daiyu's eyes were bright, and she began to ponder quietly: "Anyway, whenever Yu'er is in a hurry, brother will come out, so I am not afraid." With a bright smile, she stretched out her tender little hand and said with a delicate smile:

"Okay, tomorrow I want to find my brother, and my brother must tell Yu'er a story and pull the hook to testify."

Nan Chuan smiled: "Okay, pull the hook."

Two fists collided, one big and one small thumb pressed down, this moment was quiet, the pendulum clock on the wall creaked and shook, the sparse branches were shaken by the wind, and unknown sounds came from farther away. Is it the sound of the cloud board or the fireworks blooming, the sound that I am used to, suddenly it is so different at this moment, even the dancing candles are embedded with a sense of melancholy.

Yu'er giggled, and Nan Chuan laughed too.

At the door, the old mother laughed and urged for the first time: "It's getting late, brother and sister, why don't you go to sleep?"

The boy had no choice but to get up and stand in front of the bed for a while, until Daiyu gradually closed his eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and was about to fall asleep, then turned his head and walked away.

Like every day, the girl sent Nanchuan back with a lantern, yawned, and went back to the house to sleep, it was late at night.

At this moment, the sky is clear and the moon is cold, the night wind is long and windy, the lights have been turned off and the sound of Lin's mansion has been dimmed, and there is silence all around.

Not long after, in the dark night, the door panel opened silently, and a small figure came out quietly, with a burden on his shoulders.

He stood in the hazy night for a while, his eyes finally swept around the familiar plants, trees, corridors and eaves, engraved all what he saw deeply in his heart, and then gently lifted a ladder Put it on the wall, climbed out of the mansion, the dark clouds were thick, slowly covering the stars and the moon, the little boy tightened his jacket, finally took small steps, and left resolutely.

Just this night, among the noisy crowd, Yinhu just took out the jade and showed it to Yinzhen Tieer in a low voice, and saw a flash of cold light, and the sapphire suddenly flew away from the sky, and the next second, It fell into the hands of a man wearing a hideous mask.

This bit of knife light seemed to be thrown into a huge boulder on a calm lake. Those attendants who were only looking at the lights and neglected for a while suddenly felt cold, their hair stood on end, and countless hands and feet came towards Nan Chuan. Nan Chuan felt that the sky seemed to suddenly cover him. A big net, in an instant, he became a fish in the net, a turtle in the urn, all the tricks he had learned before suddenly looked so ridiculous in front of these big insiders, in a panic, in order to protect himself, he only Able to hack and slash, the crowd seemed to explode suddenly, the lamp city swayed in the turmoil, and a black figure suddenly groaned vaguely, and the dazzling lights illuminated the twisted and deformed face of the other party.

Did he hurt someone? !

Nan Chuan's eyes widened, and he suddenly let go of the handle of the knife.

"Catch the assassin! Protect elder brother!" A snarl pierced into the ears and hearts, and the waves of reckless arrests rushed in. Before he had time to think, he quickly rolled off the horse and rushed into the huge and panicked sea of ​​people relying on his short stature. In the crowd, people shouted, fled, and crowded together, his small body was perfectly covered by waves of crowds, the boy was trembling all over, his lips were tightly pressed, his hand was tightly clutching the jade pendant, his five fingers were almost It's all going to get into the meat.

Brother!Brother!Brother!

Are they brothers? !

He remembered the advice that had always been engraved in his heart: the water in the palace is as deep as the sea, and the royal people should not be touched.

There were so many people in chaos tonight, it was luck and a miracle that he escaped.

But he forcibly snatched something from Elder Brother, maybe the one who was injured was the guard of the palace, disaster is over!

Although he is wearing a mask, those elder brothers can quickly guess that he is one of his brothers and sisters through his body shape and behavior. His identity and his residence, as far as their abilities are concerned, the truth will be revealed within three days .

Maybe this was a wrong decision, maybe Nanchuan shouldn't take risks for a mere jade pendant, but he didn't regret it, even if he did it all over again, he believed that he would do it again.

In his little heart, some things are more important than life.

A nine-year-old child really can't think things through perfectly. He did the things. As long as he stays away, he will divert the troubles to other places. He only knows that one person should do things and one should be responsible, and he must not implicate his parents and sister.

He thought it would be all right.

The night wind was cold, and on the lonely mountain top, nine-year-old Nan Chuan looked at the warm lanterns in the Lin Mansion under the night, and burst into tears.

He was not their own, yet they treated him as their own.

He couldn't forget that his father brought him into the house on a snowy day, invited him the best private school teacher, invited the best master to teach him martial arts, and taught him the principles of life. Very soft-hearted, my heart hurts him.

He can't forget that his gentle and loving mother put his and Yu'er's two little hands together, and she can't forget her always soft and soft voice. On the front line, after painstaking efforts, the cotton padded coat was too small to wear, but he still treasured it in the box like a treasure, so as not to cause any dust.

Father, mother, the child is gone, I wish you a long and happy life.

He knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times reverently.

Standing up, looking at a warm corner to the west, Nanchuan's nose suddenly felt sore again.

Yuer, good sister, my brother is going to hide it. In the past, every time I played games, my brother was worried that you would not find it, so he always let you find it on purpose. But this time is different. My brother will hide it for a long, long time. When you grow up Lah, don't cry anymore, even if you don't have a brother, there will be someone to protect you in the future.

The sky is vast, the mountains are dense, and the small figure stands alone under the night sky. The night wind is suddenly cold, and it beats this slightly thin body violently, looking a little at a loss.

It was at this moment that the boy suddenly remembered the motto given by Miaoyu that day, those confusing lines. At that time, it was difficult to understand the meaning in detail after thinking hard, but this time it seemed to be verified suddenly, and the young him seemed to suddenly sense Some kind of strange sound that surpassed the mortal life, just stood there in a daze, letting the night wind blow, without feeling cold at all.

The note was still in Nanchuan's pocket, it was crumpled long ago, he took it out and read it again and again, no doubt, these words are like a guiding light, at this moment, it seems to be deliberately given to the ignorant boy. Guidance, prompting him to move his steps, doubtful, hesitant, and walk slowly towards the west.
