Liu Xuzhu saw that Xi Bo walked out of the cold house in despair, so he flew up to the wall and jumped into the courtyard.
He looked at the white silk tied on the beams of the house, and a desolation rose in his heart.
This courtyard has not been inhabited for ten years, and after being washed by the wind and rain, everything looks dilapidated and dilapidated, but the delicate patterns on the windows, tables and chairs still vaguely reveal the wealth of the owner of the hospital during his lifetime.
Liu Xuzhu walked around the front hall, but he didn't find what he was looking for, so he walked towards the backyard.
He stopped in front of the largest room in the backyard, folded his hands and bowed before pushing the door open and entering.
This room is the bedroom of Master Leng, and every furnishing and utensils in it are extremely exquisite, but now, they have fallen a thick layer of dust, vaguely revealing a lonely color.
The shrine and the bone altar were placed on the cabinet at the head of Master Leng's bed, and they were wiped clean by Xi Bo, in stark contrast to the rest of the room.
"It turns out that you were put here by Uncle Xi."
Liu Xujiao found what he was looking for, so he walked towards it, "But why didn't he put you in the front hall, or simply put you in your boudoir, and placed you here with Master Leng?"
He opened the cabinet door and took out a wooden box from inside, the box was unlocked, and opened it with a light pull, Liu Xujiao squinted his eyes and found that it was full of children's favorite things, including rattles, tortoiseshell plates, small spinning tops, and the little girl's favorite clay dolls.
"Yes, I think you are extremely close to Master Leng, playing at his bedside all day long, so Uncle Xi put the bone altar here, which can be regarded as a heart."
Liu Xuzhu stuffed the wooden box back into the cabinet, looked at the bone altar again, and muttered: "It's just, can the father-daughter relationship pull you back?"
You have been walking in the dark for too long, can you still feel the warmth of the world?
” He was suddenly stunned, and the two sword eyebrows slowly frowned together, "Why does Uncle Xi know so clearly about the affairs of the Leng family?"
If the friendship is really not deep, shouldn't the bone altar be placed in the front hall?
Why is it located here?
And the shrine, why did he take it with him, shouldn't the shrine be his own thing?
How can it be put in someone else's house?
” Liu Xuzhu was so shocked by his own thought that he opened his mouth slightly: there is only one possibility here, that is, Xi Bo and the Leng family are by no means as he said, just nodding friends, he is at least a close friend of the Leng family, so he knows so much about their family affairs.
Liu Xujiao stood up, shook his head and sneered, "I was really deceived by you, but, why did you lie to me, is the secret you tried to hide so unbearable?"
” He glanced at the bone altar again, turned his head and walked out of Master Leng's bedroom, and came to the side room next to him, the decoration of that room was fresh and elegant, it should belong to Miss Leng.
As soon as Liu Xuzhu walked in, he was attracted by a painting on the bookcase, the paper had become a few pieces of mutilated pieces, and some places were completely invisible because of the rain that drifted in through the window.
Liu Xuzhu picked up the remaining pieces of paper and put them together, trying to distinguish what was on the painting.
Because it should have been painted by Miss Leng in the last period of her life, it is very likely that she can express her heart directly by painting.
He looked at it for a long time, and suddenly gasped, and he finally recognized that the painting was a bridge, a bridge that connected the Jade River at one end and the village at the other.
"Come to the Far Bridge."
Liu Xujiao whispered these three words.
Xi Cheng walked all the way along the Laiyuan Bridge, and he was laughed at by Er Niuzi this morning, saying that he was a landlubber, a landlubber who lived by the water, or more precisely, a timid landlubber who lived by the water's edge.
Er Niuzi also made a bet with him that if he swam in the Jade River this afternoon, then he would call him brother when he saw Xi Cheng in the future, and he would call him brother for the rest of his life, and he would never break his word.
Xi Cheng was stimulated by his words, so while there was no one at home, he sneaked out alone, preparing to go to Yuhe to fulfill his oath.
He was a little weak and a little nervous, after all, this was the first time he had violated his grandfather's ban and the first time he had gone down to the river to swim.
He looked left and right, and saw that there was no one on either side of the bridge, so he quickened his pace and ran towards the other end of the bridge.
The fog floating by the river yesterday is gone, and you can see the green river at a glance, Xi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, stood at the end of the bridge and breathed deeply, pouring the moist and fresh breath of the river into his heart and lungs.
The smell made him feel calm and down-to-earth, and it also dispelled the nervousness just now.
He took off his shoes and put his feet in the cold water of the river and tried it, and it was fine, as he thought, the river was so soft and clear that it should be very comfortable if he got into it.
He looked behind him, Erniuzi and a few of them hadn't come yet, so it was better to take advantage of this time to try to swim in the river first, and save yourself from being ugly when the time comes, and they will be laughed at again.
Thinking of this, Xi Cheng took off his clothes, took another deep breath, bent his legs and kicked straight again, and a fierce man plunged into the Jade River.
His body sank into the river, and the cold feeling covered every inch of his body, and he gently waved his hands and feet, and with a little force, he surfaced.
The sparkling water in the distance shone with a silver light, and Xi Cheng shook the water droplets on his head, swam towards the waves, and swam to the center of the river in less than a quarter of an hour.
He went up and down on the surface of the river, and his body seemed to turn into a silver fish in the sunlight, gradually merging with the waves.
It turns out that the water is so simple and so enjoyable, no wonder the two cows always like to come to this jade river in the summer.
Thinking like this, Xi Cheng pedaled the water faster, and he even got to the bottom of the water and frolicked with the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, completely ignoring his grandfather's advice.
When he was swimming happily, his feet suddenly cramped, and the instep jumped straight, painful and numb, and he couldn't stretch out.
Xi Cheng was nervous for a while, and suddenly swallowed a few mouthfuls of water in his mouth, he fluttered desperately a few times, his body leaned to the side, and he sank into the water without obeying the call.
Xi Cheng secretly screamed in his heart, above his head, the light was getting farther and farther away, and under him, there was endless darkness, waiting to swallow him.

He spit out the water in his mouth, and swam up with both hands to the river, but the instep of his foot was so numb that every time he swam it hurt, he grinned.
At the last moment, a pair of big hands firmly supported his waist and lifted him out of the water, Xi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was full of happiness for the rest of his life.
He turned around and saw that it was Yu Can'er who saved him, he hooked Xi Cheng's chest and abdomen with one hand, paddled hard with the other, and swam towards the shore.
Finally rowed to the shore, Xi Cheng lay on the grass, calming down the exhausted physical strength.
After a long time, he clutched his chest and gasped, "Uncle Yu, thank you." ”
