Until I entered the house, Qian Wu took me to take a hot shower and took off all the mud and changed into a new set of clothes. I was so energetic, but Liu Saner was still a little at a loss and walked in the manor with my sleeves at a loss. After entering my house, he stood in the middle of the house and kept looking at me, so nervous that I would disappear in the next moment.

Looking at his slightly dark circles, I also said with some pain: "You - have you been finding here?"

"Um."

"You've been looking for me?"

"Yes." He nodded heavily and smiled at me: "You're fine, that's fine."

"You've been looking for me?"

I repeated this sentence, my throat choked. Liu San'er looked at my red eyes and felt a little embarrassed. She was helpless, as if she wanted to reach out and pull my hand. But as soon as she touched my fingertips, she shrank back as if she was burned by fire. She whispered: "I don't know where you will go, so I looked for it all the way. I thought you would go to Yangzhou City, but halfway through, I asked about the people on the way that they had never seen you, so I turned it back."

“…”

"I walked a few more directions, but none of them were right. Later, I walked here and I heard someone say that I saw you going up the mountain. I originally planned to follow me-"

When he said this, his dark face turned red and he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

I tried my best to swallow the bitterness in my heart and said, "Then, what should Aunt Liu do if you have been out for so long?"

"I ask Aunt Zhao and Yunxiang to help me take care of her for a while," Liu Saner said, "She also wants me to come out to find you. She said that you are a girl's house and are pregnant, so it is not safe to be outside. I must find you. Even if I don't take you back, I must find out about you and only go back to tell her if you know you are safe."

When I heard him say the last sentence, my eyes suddenly filled with tears.

Seeing that I was almost about to cry, Liu Saner suddenly became anxious and said at a loss: "Qingying, you - don't cry, don't cry!"

I bit my lower lip and lowered my head to prevent him from seeing it, but I couldn't stop my eyes from getting hotter and hotter, and tears seemed to fall down at any time.

But he still stammered in anxiety: "Don't cry, don't cry!"

Although he tried hard to hold it, tears still dripped like beads with broken threads. It seemed that it was the first time that Liu San'er saw a girl crying. She was so panicked that she didn't know what to do. She reached out to comfort me, but she couldn't touch me. Finally, she reached out to me at a loss.

A click.

My tears fell on the palm of his hand, and a crystal tears bloomed.

"Stop crying..."

His rapid voice slowly calmed down, with a strange hoarseness, as if the rocks were grinding in his heart, a little painful, but also with rough tenderness.

I raised my head and looked at his gentle and concerned eyes. Somehow, even though my face was covered in tears, I suddenly started to laugh.

Liu Saner still held the tears in her palm, and looked at me smiling, and smiled.

.

Just after I finally stopped crying, the servant at home brought a table of food. I said apologetically: "I'll thank you for your hard work. I'll tell Mr. Huang about this later."

I was still a guest here. I came in without telling the owner, and I was a little uneasy and asked the servant to deliver the meal. However, Huang Tianba and Mu Hua were still not out of the house, and the two of them had just made a reconciliation. It was really not necessary to go in and disturb them at this time.

The servant smiled and said, "Miss, don't say polite words. We can still do this."

"Thank you."

"Thank you." Liu San'er also thanked me next to us. The servant looked at us and turned around and retreated as if he was relieved.

The meals on this table were not very rich, but there were fish and meat. Just looking at them made people's index fingers move. I also knew that Liu San'er must have not been full these days, so she pulled his sleeve and sat down: "Come on, have a meal first."

"Um."

He smiled a little crampedly, sat down and held the bowl and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Looking at his appearance, it was a lie to say that he didn't feel sorry for him. Especially when he just opened the door, he came to ask for water and didn't know how much hardship he had suffered along the way. I picked up some shredded pork with chopsticks and put it into his bowl, and said softly: "Eat more."

He looked at me with a smile, picked up the meat I had picked up and stuffed it into his mouth, and looked satisfied with eating. I looked at him with a smile, and served him another bowl of soup. I was handing it to him when I saw him suddenly as if he had remembered something, looked down at the food on the table, and said to me, "Qingying, can I keep two steamed buns?"

"Huh? You'll just eat it, there's still on the table."

"Oh no, no," he said, "Actually, I had dry food on me, but when I passed by a dilapidated temple in front, I saw a crazy woman inside that was about to starve to death. I gave her all the dry food so I didn't have enough food. I saw that the woman couldn't find anything to eat, so she wanted to bring her two more steamed buns, she was very pitiful."

After hearing his words, a warm current surged in my heart.

He was still as enthusiastic and loved to help others as he was when he was a waiter in Yangzhou City. Even if he was just a passerby, he was concerned about the other party and spared no effort to help.

The person in front of me is obviously the poorest among the people I know, but he is so rich!

And in my heart, I felt even more faintly-

Such a person can do great things!

Looking at his inquiring gaze, I smiled faintly, brought the soup bowl in my hand to his hand, and said, "Just eat it, I will ask them to prepare the steamed buns. I will go with you later."

"Yeah, OK!"

He nodded vigorously with joy, then took a few more mouthfuls of food into his mouth, but his movements suddenly slowed down. He looked up at me, and his careful eyes moved my heart: "What's wrong?"

"Qingying, then you-will you go back with me?"

I was stunned for a moment, and the chopsticks that were about to pick up food for him froze.

go back?

He looked up at him, and he was also looking at me. Although he was a little cautious, his eyes were so serious and solemn. He was silent for a moment and said with a little shyness: "I-I hope you can go back with me."

“…”

"Light, I will take good care of you."

“…”

I wanted to open my mouth and say something, but my throat choked up and I reluctantly said, "But, I--"

"I will take good care of this child," Liu Saner hurriedly said, "I will treat him well, just like my biological child. Really!"

"I'm not afraid that you will be bad to your child, but—"

The words came to my mouth, but I couldn't say them.

What can I say? I have long lost the qualification to get married and be happy, since the first time that man abused me. And how can I impose my broken life in the life of such a simple man?

Especially, after I knew what he wanted.

Seeing that I was halfway through, Liu San'er waited for a while but didn't hear the second half. He hesitated for a while and said softly: "Qingying, I, I don't have much money, and I can't even give you such a life now. But - I will work hard. Don't worry that our lives are not easy. You probably don't know yet. After you left for two days, the government's approval was released, and our taxes were reduced by 30%.

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.

Taxes have been reduced by 30%?

Although it was not as good as before, this decision was a total change for the entire Celestial Empire. No wonder the war in the north is so tight now.

He has made this decision!

Will this world change because of him, and what about the people in this world? How many people change because of him?

I raised my head in a daze, and Liu Saner smiled and said, "My injuries have been healed. I plan to go to the foot of Niangniang Mountain to get a few acres of land and live a good life. This way, you don't have to go out for a long time, and you can take good care of you - and the children in your belly."

“…”

"Of course, if you like to eat fish, I can still go down the river!"

“…”

His eyes were light, and his face was full of hope when he looked at me, "Our life will be better!"

At this moment, I looked at him foolishly, but my eyes seemed to be colorful. In an instant, many people's shadows flashed through my eyes - Pei Yuanxiu, Nangong Lizhu, the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager, Yang Yunhui, Yang Jinqiao... and Huang Tianba, and Xue Muhua.

There is also the man's face, faintly in front of him, whether he is happy or angry, his frown and smile, in front of him.

It turns out that I have experienced these in half of my life...

Many people think that an ordinary couple who work hard to make a living while sunrises may have no fun and work hard every day to make a living. But what if they love each other vigorously? Are these the right ones crying, crying, and struggling?

I looked at the haggard face in front of me and said softly: "Don't you really dislike me?"

When he heard this, he hurriedly wanted to say something, but I interrupted him and said, "You have to think clearly that this child is not yours, but I will give him a baby and raise him well. You really won't mind? And I... have this child, you should also know that my past... I am not worthy of you."

This time, Liu Saner did not answer, but just slowly lowered her head.

The room fell silent.

In such silence, time passed by bit by bit. Even though everything was silent, it seemed that something was stinging my heart bit by bit. Looking at his drooping face and the thick black eyelashes covering his eyes, I couldn't see anything clearly.

Is he going to regret it?

My hands were retracted and placed on my knees, trying to find support, but I felt that I couldn't hold on to anything, and even myself was shaking.

At this time, he slowly raised his head.

The dark eyes looked at me solemnly, and his eyes were as firm as when he reached out to grab the five copper coins in the knife box: "Light, you were not good when I first met you, but I-I still fell in love with you."

“…”

"It doesn't matter if you have children or your past is not good."

“…”

"I'm with you, and we will be very good in the future."

This time, he firmly reached out his hand and held my hand. The warm and rough palm came up, bringing an indescribable warmth, which hit my heart directly.

Looking at his serious eyes, my eyes were burning again. In order to hide my embarrassment, I could only lower my head.

He looked at me quietly, waited for a long time, and hesitated: "You...have you promised me?"

I finally calmed down a little, looked up at his expectant eyes, but suddenly felt a little cunning, smiled, and said, "I don't want to promise you yet."

"ah?"

"When I go back and ask Aunt Liu, I will promise you when she speaks."

"Huh?" Liu San'er looked at me and said blankly: "My mother, she will definitely agree. She likes you very much!"

Looking at the cunning smile on my face, I suddenly seemed to understand something, and I laughed, happily picked up the bowl and ate a big bite of rice, and thought about it and asked me again: "What are you going to ask my mother?"

I just smiled and didn't say anything, picked up a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

.

Soon, Huang Tianba and Mu Hua also knew that Liu San'er was coming.

Although Huang Tianba was surprised by his arrival, he was not too surprised. When Liu Saner saw him, she was still as excited and respectful as she did back then. It seemed that the one in front of her was the seventy-two waters in the southern three provinces that responded to Yangzhou City, and the uncrowned king in the hearts of the people of Jiangnan.

What surprised me was Mu Hua.

She was very happy to see Liu Saner and me. After greeting him enthusiastically, she heard that Liu Saner wanted to go and help others. She personally ordered the servants. After a while, the servant brought a food box, which not only contained a stack of steaming steamed buns, but also a bowl of stewed chicken with ham underneath, which was fragrant.

"Take it all, do you want someone to drive there?"

Liu San'er didn't expect to get such good food. She thanked her gratefully and said, "No, no, just in the dilapidated temple not far ahead."

I also smiled and said, "I'll go over with him and come back later."

After saying that, I subconsciously glanced at Huang Tianba. Although his face was still a little tired, he had already calmed down a lot. He looked at me and nodded lightly.

Liu San'er took the box and went out with me.

I haven't been out for the past few days when I arrived at the Huang family. I have used dinner to go out for a walk, but it's also a good thing. The air in the mountains is very good, and I can still hear the birds singing in the forest. The orange light of the setting sun shines down through the leaves. The mottled light and shadow make people feel like they are in a dream.

Liu San'er held my sleeve and said, "Be careful, don't fall."

I looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "I'm not a child."

"But you have children in your stomach."

"..." I gave him a blank look. He just smiled, but grabbed my hand without putting it. He looked up and looked forward: "It's here."

In front is a dilapidated temple that is almost invisible, surrounded by weeds, and a thick layer of gray soil fell on the Buddha statue inside, full of spider webs.

In the corner below the Buddha statue, it was pitch black, and there was a man curled up, trembling.

As soon as Liu Saner saw her, she hurriedly walked over and squatted down and said carefully: "Hey, aunt, I'm bringing you some food."

The man had fallen to the ground with his head covered, but he heard his voice slowly squirming. He raised his head and showed a pair of shivering eyes of a small animal that seemed to be frightened, looking at us tremblingly. When he saw clearly that it was Liu Saner, he immediately stretched out a hand that was dry as if it was a branch, grabbed his arm, and said hoarsely: "Son, you are here!"

When I heard this voice, my heart moved slightly.
