The two of them stopped in the alley at the corner of the street. Su Ye let go of his wrist, raised his head and walked out of the alley. No one was following him. He looked back and saw that he was patting his sleeves and tutted: " Why didn't you fly by yourself if you thought I was holding you back just now?"
He walked out of the alley and walked into the street. Beside the street was a small river. There were several small boats floating in the middle of the river. There were people on the boats holding poles, pulling out the water and moving forward slowly.
"Thank you." The man behind him followed and said.
Su Ye squatted beside the river, looking at the river water under the short embankment. He picked up stones and threw them in, causing ripples: "I'm not sincere." He stood up: "Forget it, just think that this young master is unlucky to meet you. Nothing good happened every time, I even forgot to bring the wine I bought.”
He walked towards the street and passed him: "Goodbye!"
"Master Su, don't you ask me what my name is?" the man turned around and asked.
Su Ye raised his eyebrows and turned around: "What's your name?"
"My surname is Yan, my given name is Yuan, and I have the courtesy name Tingshen." Yan Tingshen cupped his hands and said. Su Ye ignored him and walked away. A voice came from behind and called him: "Su Ye, you didn't drink it this time. You can drink it next time."
Su Ye continued walking. Yan Ting thought he didn't want to pay attention, but he heard him say from a distance: "Okay. I'll fight next time."
Yan Ting frowned slightly and walked along the river to the other end with long strides.

With a rare free day, the residence was settled, and the ghost affairs were settled. Qiong also thought of the thin and frail girl she met in the small village bordering the west of the town. When she thought about the shabby earth house , she couldn't help but worry, so taking advantage of her free time today, she bought some cakes and headed to the village.
Qiong Yi originally wanted to ask Yang Xiaosi to accompany her, but this little junior sister who was usually lazy and fun actually said that she should practice hard today!
Qiong Yi thought his ear was broken.
Since Yang Xiaosi said so, she had to do it alone.
Following the route in his memory, Qiong also came to the earth-walled house from last time. Before he entered the fenced yard, he heard someone talking in the house:
"Xin Mei'er, these are the pancakes baked by grandma. You can eat them first. If you don't want to go back, you can come to our house."
The owner of the voice sounded young, a boy of about ten years old.
When Qiong Yi wanted to continue listening, the person in the room said, "I heard something moving outside. Let's go out and have a look." After that, the boy ran out of the house and met Qiong Yi, who was standing not far away. relatively.
Qiong was also wearing a turquoise knee-length skirt, standing there alone, like a slender wicker in spring.
The boy froze when he saw her. There were faint footsteps behind him, and the girl exclaimed: "Yes, it's the sister who helped me drive away the vicious dog that day..."
Qiong Yi waved and said with a smile: "It's me, come here to see you." After saying that, he raised the pastry in his hand and showed it. Seeing that they knew each other, the boy just stood silent and kept his eyes open. He looked at Qiong Yi.
The female doll invited Qiong into the house.
This time, Qiong Yi still didn't see the sister she mentioned.
Qiong also opened the pastry wrapped in thick paper in her hand and spread it flat on the narrow table. She smiled kindly and said, "This is a sweet rice cake. Do you want to try it?"
After saying that, the girl stretched out her thin little hand to get it, but the boy grabbed her hand and shook his head. Seeing that he actually knew how to be vigilant, Qiong was inexplicably relieved. She picked up a piece of rice cake and bit it in her mouth, saying, "Look, there's nothing wrong with this cake."
Seeing that she was eating, the two children stopped, holding the rice cakes and stuffing them into their mouths. Qiong also sat aside and listened to them mumbling and talking while eating, and learned a lot.
It turns out that this village is called Wa Village, named after the mountains and valleys all over the place. The population in the village is not large. The younger girl in front of her is named Wei, Xinxin, and the older boy has no surname, named Xiaoyu.
Hearing that Qiong was also a student at a school in Qingfeng Town, Xiaoyu put down his guard. He swallowed the rice cakes wholeheartedly and said, "My grandma said that Xin Mei'er was alone at home and had nothing to eat, so she asked me to give some to her." Here comes the pasta.”
"Alone?" Qiong was also a little confused: "I remember that she said she had a sister."
Xiaoyu looked troubled: "Sister Ying is no longer in the village."
Qiong also frowned.
He changed his words again: "Sister Aying is making a living in the town and cannot come back to live in the village every day, so grandma asked me to come and help her more."
Xinxin nodded.
He spoke vaguely, and Qiong Yi didn't understand it either. After coming out of the room, Xiaoyu quietly explained the matter to her. A month ago, Xinxin's father was crushed by a horse-drawn carriage on the road and his legs were broken. He died shortly after he was picked up. Her mother took the money and ran away secretly at night. She has not found it yet. In order to put her father's body to rest, my sister had to sell herself to bury him and entered Yunliang Pavilion in the east of the town.
Qiong Yi hated such sad things, it gave her a headache.
"But don't worry, my grandma said that as long as my family has food to eat, Xinmei'er will not be hungry."
"I guess you saw how pitiful Xin Meier was that day, so you thought of bringing something to see her."
"She is under my care now, don't worry."
When Qiong Yi and Zhu Yunluo were in their most difficult days when they were young, the neighbors would give them a piece of food and cut a piece of cloth for them to wear. When Xiaoyu said this, she was deeply moved.
"Didn't the person who broke Xinxin's father's leg pay compensation?" Qiong Yi asked. In her opinion, it was this sudden misfortune that destroyed their family.
"No." Xiaoyu shook his head, "I heard that the carriage knocked down someone and ran him over. The carriage was very gorgeous. I guess it belonged to a wealthy family."
"How can this be true?" Qiong Yi's apricot eyes were wrinkled into semi-circles, with only the eyelashes remaining upturned. "The Su family's residence is so close. You can get there in one day as long as you ask someone to use a car. No matter what, it won't work." , I have to walk for two days at most, and I have to ask for an explanation!"
Xiaoyu sighed: "No one is here anymore, what's the use of asking for an explanation."
Hearing these words, Qiong Yi felt like he couldn't breathe, so he took a deep breath.
How could it be useless?
Otherwise, wouldn't it be necessary to swallow it in the stomach if someone broke the tooth? !
Qiong also prides herself on not being a nosy person, but after knowing this, if she ignores it, she will always feel a sense of guilt that comes from nowhere, so she thought, she might as well help if she can, and do something. .
She thought again: This kind of malicious and hurtful thing should be reported to the people guarding the Su family.
By coincidence, I can also take this opportunity to go to Shoutai to check Yize's household registration and see if I can find some clues about my life experience, killing two birds with one stone.
So Qiong Yi asked: "Do you know where the nearest guard tower is around here?"
As a result, the child in front of me didn't even know what guarding was.
Asked him if he knew the governor's office in charge of this place, he replied, "I don't know."
Asked him if he knew about the Su Family Mansion in Jiaxi, he replied, "I don't know."
He simply answered every question and didn’t know anything!
Qiong Yi suddenly thought about the classmate Su Ye she had met. He was the young master of the Su family and a well-known local connection. Even if he could not help them get compensation worth a life, he could always redress their grievances. Arrived.
Then please ask Su Ye!
At this time, Su Ye, who had just finished fighting with Yan Tingshen, sneezed loudly: "Ah - ah, sneeze! -"
*
That night.
Su Ye returned to his dormitory and saw Sheng Xuanyuan quietly reading a book in the inner room. He leaned over and took a quick look: "What are you reading?"
Seeing a page full of densely packed scriptures, his eyes suddenly darkened: "What is this? The South China Sutra! Why are you reading this? Don't you get a headache?" Ignoring Sheng Xuanyuan's look of disgust, he put the book Pull out: "Don't look, don't look, I want to see something nice for you to see."
Sheng Xuanyuan spread his hands: "What? Newsletter?"
Su Ye threw the scripture in his hand and said with a smile: "With pictures."
Sheng Xuanyuan was dumbfounded and understood what he meant: "Don't read it. Return the scripture to me." Seeing that Su Yesi had no intention of returning the book, he reached out to grab it and slapped him on the arm. He didn't use much force, but he Wailing out, he couldn't help but ask: "A fight?"
"We had a fight with the boy named Yan and it was a draw." Su Ye pulled up a chair and sat down, shaking his arm: "He is quite accomplished."
Sheng Xuanyuan didn't care much about Yan Tingshen's affairs. He took back the scriptures, sat at the table and looked at the dancing candlelight, and said coldly: "I met Miss Su today, and she..."
"Breaking up on bad terms?" Su Ye didn't wait for him to finish his words: "I knew you were very clumsy and would definitely make my sister angry."
"She told me..."
"She must have asked about Brother Zijing! What did you tell her?" Su Ye's voice completely covered his voice.
"Let you..."
"She also mentioned me? What happened? What did she say?"
Sheng Xuanyuan was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth. He was so angry that he didn't want to say any more. He closed the book tightly. Su Ye pretended to be shocked and asked, "What's wrong?"
"..." Sheng Xuanyuan could tell that Su Ye knew what he wanted to say, he was just escaping. In the stupidest way possible.
He is not the eldest son, so he cannot understand, but he can choose not to say it.
"Tail." Sheng Xuanyuan threw the scriptures on the table and called to Fuzzy on the ground: "Tail, come here."
The puppy, already familiar with its new name, waggled its tail and ran quickly. Su Ye shouted to him: "Tail, come to me! This way, this way!"
Su Ye's voice was even better, so the puppy turned around and ran towards him again.
Touching the dog's head with one hand, Su Ye said: "I've been practicing swordplay on the side of the school field these days. There are so many people there that I can't use it. Where are you practicing? Can you make room for me?"
Speaking of this, Sheng Xuanyuan remembered what he had asked Qiong Yi today. Although Qiong Yi did not say that she would come to Nanshan to practice in the future, she did not say that she would not.
So, Sheng Xuan complained: "There is no time left."
"Huh?" Su Ye raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
"right."
Sheng Xuanyuan said it seriously, but Su Ye was surprised when he heard it: "Isn't it right? If there is no open space for one person to practice swordsmanship, how full would it be? How could you, a person who likes purity, still be there? What about practicing swordsmanship?”
"Are you trying to trick me into something?" Su Ye asked in pursuit of victory.
"No." Sheng Xuanyuan said, "Don't think too much about it."
"It's weird." Su Ye stared at Sheng Xuanyuan, hugged his tail, and let his tail stare at Sheng Xuanyuan with him, and moved it forward closer and closer, so that Sheng Xuanyuan was almost close to him. The tail on his face said: "Su Ye, you are so childish."
"Tch." Su Ye snorted disdainfully and put his tail on the ground, "Then let me guess, is there someone on the end where you are practicing your sword? Who is it?"
Su Ye said: "It's Yue Huan! He's competing with you over there, and you two are secretly making progress behind my back!"
Sheng Xuanyuan was speechless: "I've never seen him."
"Who is that?" Su Ye was startled: "No, it's Lu Xiyan, right?"
A knowing blow.
This time, Sheng Xuanyuan really stopped talking.
