Song Nineteen pursed his lips and gave him a deep look, then lay back, put his lips to Ayin's ear, and whispered, "Youngest Tu said you're getting fatter."

A Yin was excited and had no time to speak to him, so he just twitched his lips and cursed inwardly, "His uncle!"

Song Nineteen retracted his body with satisfaction, sat back with drooping eyelids, and said to Mr. Tu with his name and surname, "Young Mr. Tu, I am your uncle."

Xian Xue Xian sells vividly, even the accent and soft voice are exactly the same as A Yin, but Mr. Tu has never seen a girl who scolds swear words so innocently. She is both angry and funny. She put her legs up and knocked two melon seeds. Er, he pointed his head up, "your mother is here."

Little girl, we don't dare to speak loudly with Eleventh sister, we can't cure you.

Song Nineteen was angry, and the youngest Tu spit out the melon seed skin and sneered at her: "Hey, I only lived for more than ten days, and I learned to talk about love."

so funny.

Li Shiyi sat down at the table and changed into bright colored clothes. Seeing Mr. Tu's right ankle swaying back and forth on his left thigh, Song Shijiu bit his lip and was full of resentment. I really want to see her, the atmosphere is very subtle.

"When are you going back to Peiping?" Li Shiyi asked Mr. Tu.

When Tu Lao Yao thought about it, he had entered the Jiaodong Road. According to the agreement, it was time for the troops to split up. It's just that Li Shiyi has always been an informal person. Anyone who follows her or leaves, never asks a single question. Now that he asks, it seems that there is something to follow.

Youngest Tu realized that he was smart and replied, "What are your plans?"

Li Shiyi said, "I want to take a look at the tomb that Atang mentioned earlier."

"It's icy and snowy!" Mr. Tu raised his voice. Seeing Li Shiyi's firm attitude, he slowly chased after him, "Are you really going?"

Li Shiyi nodded, and the youngest Tu pondered for a while, and said, "Since I'm here, I'll go down to this tomb with you before leaving."

Li Shiyi hesitated: "I didn't intend to keep you."

She glanced at Song Nineteen, the tomb sounded a bit dangerous, she just turned the book, but she had no clue. She originally wanted Tu Laoyao to bring Song Nineteen back to Peiping first, and look at Song Nineteen's watery eyes. , the words were stuck in the mouth, but softened back.

The arm that looked like the lotus root wrapped around her neck again, and there was a small sound like a cat meowing in her ear: "No."

When Tu Laoyao saw it, he sneered meaningfully: "Girl is getting old, I can't help it."

After he finished speaking, he shook his shoulders and went to find A Yin not far away to tell a joke.

Song Nineteen pursed his lips and watched Youngest Tu leave. He was annoyed by his brisk back again, and then he looked back and looked at Li Shiyi's thoughtful eyes.

Li Shiyi took a sip of tea and looked at her, but he didn't mean to speak, but he seemed to have made up his mind to wait for her to speak.

Song Nineteen also imitated her to take a sip of tea, and then looked at her, and suddenly felt that sitting like this would be very good.

Li Shiyi clenched his fist against his lips, coughed lowly, Song Shijiu moved his lips away from the teacup, suddenly remembered something important, and asked Li Shiyi: "I ask you, we are mothers and daughters. no?"

Li Shiyi's surprised expression suddenly came, staring at her for three or two seconds before shaking his head: "Of course not."

Song Nineteen was overjoyed, his heart fell to the ground, he smiled and rested his head on his arm, looking at her with peach-like eyes.

However, Li Shiyi frowned, and rarely hesitated. After deliberating for a while, he said, "If you want my money, you don't have to find any excuse."

She thought about it, and seemed to understand why Song Nineteen was so worried today. Most of the time, he had no father or mother, and he didn't know where he came from or where he was going.

That's why I want to meet a girl.

She remembered Song Jiujiu crying and saying, "My father doesn't care for my mother, but I don't love her", and her brain was aching again.

Song Nineteen was stunned: "Money?"

Li Shiyi said: "If you want anything, just spend it on flowers."

She thought for a while, and added: "Since I took you out of the tomb, I will never leave you alone."

Song Nineteen looked at her serious expression, and said "I will never leave you alone" twice in her mouth. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She looked at Li Shiyi who was not firmly closed. Lips, but their color is fresh and beautiful, and what they say makes people feel beautiful.

She sighed and buried her head in her arms.

After another night at A Tang's store, he packed up and set out early the next morning. Song Nineteen didn't sleep well. He woke up very early. He didn't tie his braids. He only tied a head of blue silk with a headband. .

She walked down while leaning on the railing, but she heard the suppressed quarrel between A Yin and Li Shiyi first.

Mr. Tu sat aside, as usual, with his bones shriveled, and big and small bags piled on the table. A-Tang opened the door early, turned over the table and chairs, wiped the floor, and sat in a daze at the door of the shop holding a cup of tea.

Li Shiyi put his hands in his trouser pockets and leaned against the wall below the stairs without saying a word, only to hear A Yin sneer: "Gold, silver, more than anything else, it's in the eyes of our Eleventh sister, so I just heard a sentence or two. , and then we shall burrow into that tomb."

Yesterday, she was just chatting, but it was only this morning that Youngest Tu said that Li Shiyi was going to go to the tomb.

The youngest Tu rounded up the game: "Hey!"

A Yin turned around and glared at him, her eyebrows raised high, her arms crossed and her chest held out, she cut off his words: "What? Did I say wrong about her? I agreed to come to see Master, but I didn't forget it halfway through. If you touch the coffin, it can be seen that you are a good apprentice of Master, and he never forgets about eating.

Li Shiyi pressed his tongue against his teeth and swept around slowly, but still did not speak. He looked up to see Song Shijiu coming downstairs and called her, "Nineteen."

A Yin glanced at Song Nineteen, took his anger back, and only turned around and sneered, "Go! Get into the money eyes!" Then he sat down and put up Erlang's legs.

Seeing her angry, Song Nineteen went over to hold her hand. Listening to Li Shiyi: "If you don't want to, it's fine if you don't go."

"Bullshit!" A Yin scolded, hooked Song Nineteen's palm with a cold face and stopped talking.

Li Shiyi's strategy of retreating to advance is not a good one, and it will kill her alive and kill her.

Should. She scolded herself.

Li Shiyi came over and asked her, "Then are you going?"

Ayin pointed at Song Nineteen and the youngest Tu, and sneered, "Auntie won't go, who will collect your corpse? Is this old, weak, sick, or disabled?"

There were two people in front of her, but she said four things word by word, and Tu Laoyao understood in her eyes that the "weak" was Song Nineteen, and he was next to him.

Li Shiyi smiled secretly, and buried his head to pack his luggage.

After finishing the tidying up, A-Tang was still sitting at the door, motionless as usual. She didn't comb her hair today, her jet-black hair was pushed aside, the ends of her hair were soaked with water, and the cold wind blew them into ice slag. She didn't care either. I felt that I only reached out and stroked it one by one.

"We're leaving." Li Shiyi walked behind her.

A Tang said warmly: "The road is slippery in the snowy days, slow down."

However, Li Shiyi sat next to him and said, "Yesterday's story is not finished yet."

A Tang's eyes overflowing with surprise, turned to look at her, and asked with a smile, "What?"

Li Shiyi looked around, finally set his eyes on the somewhat leaky door face, and asked her, "How many oceans do you earn in a month?"

A Tang thought for a while: "This place is biased, the more is fifty, the less is twenty."

"You said yesterday that it cost a few hundred dollars to buy that merman." Li Shiyi pursed his lips, "What is the reason for you to spend so much money just to light a few lamps?"

A-Tang looked at her deeply, and when the cold wind picked up again, she turned her head and smiled, "The tide is about to rise."

When A Yin and the others saw Li Shiyi and A Tang sitting at the door, they were puzzled, so they picked up their luggage and came over to listen. A-Tang greeted them, leaned her head against the door, and said, "You are the first to ask me."

"I'm waiting for someone," she said.

"I was born without a parent and no mother. I grew up in a pirate's den since I was a child. The sea is the same as the land. I rely on the sky to eat, hungry and full, and my face is yellow and thin like a big radish." I don't know who named her. It's called Tangyu, and it seems like a teacher who was caught. The tang is the tang of the begonia, and the jade is the jade of the jade.

"In the past few years, the sea was tight. We hid in Tibet, were bombarded, and accidentally fell into the sea. It was my fate, and I was washed to the shore of these cities. A white-faced boy rescued me."

The boy was born beautiful, white and tender, as if he rarely saw the sun, but he was very sick and had some problems with his eyes.

"He took care of me for six or seven days, and then he wanted to go home. I asked him if he could come back? He said that his eyes are not very good, and he doesn't know the way well, so I'm afraid he won't be able to find it."

"I said, I am building a hut on the edge of the sea, and if I light the brightest light, he will be able to find it. He smiled and said that it would be fine, and he could see it at a glance."

"I worked on the shore for two years. With some money, the hut was turned into an inn. The wind was blowing by the sea, and the lights were always off at night. I was afraid that he would not be able to find me, so I spent a lot of money on the merman. Oil makes lamps."

A-Tang spoke intermittently, and the mermaid light was just as bright and dark as her words, but it never went out.

A Tang finally smiled, looked outside the house and said, "I don't know, when will he come back?"

The hope in her eyes was so obvious that she looked like a girl of thirteen or fourteen.

After listening to Li Shiyi, he looked at the distance and blew the wind quietly for a while, smiled lightly, and said, "I heard that the homeland of the merman is in the South China Sea, which is very far from here. You are lucky to have met."

A-Tang raised her eyebrows in surprise, then rolled her eyes and smiled.

"If you are lucky, you can probably wait."

Li Shiyi was noncommittal, stood up and packed his things, nodded to Song Shijiu and the others, and said goodbye to A Tang and her small hotel in the cold wind.

A Yin took a breath of cold air, and coughed slightly while wrapped in his coat, still thinking about the lamp in the store: "I don't know, is the merman like a fish or a human?"

Li Shiyi looked at the fog-filled road ahead and said, "My master said that she had seen a merman once."

"The merman can transform once in his life. When he transforms into a human, there is fog in his eyes, and his vision is unclear. After seven days, he will no longer be human."
