It was slightly cool at night, and Yin Tianqi went up to the balcony alone, looking out from the balcony. The sound of rain was like the melancholy of a broken string.
He took a deep breath and slowly played a sad and distant song on the harmonica, which reflected the sadness of the rainy night. This diatonic harmonica, like the two swords, is his most cherished possession. Because, they all come from the same person.
The sound of the piano passes by and disperses into the wind, a song that reminds me of my youth.
…
Last winter, when he was a child, his family was brutally wiped out overnight, but he also met a family that he would be grateful for for the rest of his life.
The heavy snow is flying like goose feathers, and everything you look up is covered in silver. Yin Tianqi looked at the adults who were talking not far away, and suddenly realized that this was also the winter of life, how desperate it was. He was so scared that he was helpless from now on... Involuntarily, he shrank into a corner.
"...It's a rare annual holiday. I'm here to visit relatives and come to see you, Brother Xu. I happened to encounter a dragon on the road that hurt someone. Fortunately, it was seriously injured before I repelled it. I rescued the child, and as for his followers... ...It's still a step too late." Wu Haoyuan said and lit a cigarette. Amidst the smoke, the sporadic fire reflected in his eyes dimmed.
"What a pitiful child..." Xu Shiqian closed his eyes and sighed softly. "However, Brother Yuan, you are a bit addicted to smoking."
Wu Haoyuan didn't intend to put out the cigarette, but instead blew out a few smoke rings: "There is no way. People who are often on night watch need to refresh themselves, and over time..."
Suddenly, I heard children's laughter and laughter, and then I saw Xu Xuxuan running out of the house jumping. "Dad, Dad! I have finished my winter vacation homework! You promised me that as long as you finish it before the New Year, you will give me a set of extracurricular books. Don't go back on it!"
"Be good, let's play. I have something to tell you, Uncle Yuan. If you have anything else, we can talk about it later." Xu Shiqian reached out to catch Xu Xingxuan who threw himself into his arms, smiled and patted his face, and then Let go.
"Why am I playing alone! I can't believe that Uncle Yuan is more important than my own son!" Xu Xuanxuan put his hands on his hips and puffed up his cheeks angrily, about to start the unreasonable making trouble mode.
In desperation, Xu Shiqian could only use his special skill - to send the child away with a lollipop.
Xu Xuanxuan was in a very happy mood after getting the candy. When he accidentally looked around the corner, he discovered that there was a child about the same age as himself. But why can't I see the liveliness and vitality that this age group should have in the other person?
Xu Xuxuan thought for a moment and moved closer. The other party seemed to be deliberately avoiding him and kept retreating inward. "Don't be afraid, I...I just want to make friends with you!"
Yin Tianqi stared at the other person, silent. It could be seen that he never let down his guard. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way out...he wouldn't have stopped there.
Xu Xuanxuan was not discouraged and instead of retreating, he moved forward and joined in. "Here, here is Cantang, don't ignore me~" As he said that, he put the lollipop into the other person's hand.
Yin Tianqi's little hands were already red from the cold, and he was so cold that he couldn't hold it steady. The lollipop simply fell to the ground and shattered into a pile of sugar residue.
Although Xu Xingxuan looked a little distressed, he noticed that the other party's body was shaking like chaff. No wonder, the weather is freezing, and this man is still wearing such thin clothes... "How dare you wear so little in this cold weather?! It's easy to catch a cold, it's so messy!" He quickly took off his clothes He put his coat on Yin Tianqi, trying to warm his cold and weak body.
"Don't worry about me..." Yin Tianqi said softly. Out of resistance to strangers, he turned his head away.
"That kid... isn't very humane." Although he was a little far away, Xu Shiqian could still tell what was going on.
"No wonder he." Wu Haoyuan took another puff of cigarette and then put it out, "After all, it is inevitable to lose a sense of security when encountering such a disaster."
Xu Shiqian was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "What is this son's name?"
Wu Haoyuan did not explain in words, but just handed over a jade pendant with exquisite carving and smooth texture. Xu Shiqian took it and took a look, slightly surprised: "The Yin family?! Isn't this the powerful and powerful family that has lasted for hundreds of years..."
"It's a pity... we can't escape the fate of decline after all. He is the last descendant of the Yin family."
Xu Shiqian took a good look at the jade pendant and found two Chinese characters in the form of small seal script - Tianqi on the back. He shook his head and carefully wrapped the jade pendant in clean silk cloth. "You tell me this because you want to...?"
"He is homeless. It's not that I don't want to take him with me, it's just that where I work...you know, children are not allowed to go there. So, please, Brother Xu."
