When I left Fuxin, I remembered that Li Su was only half a child old. When he looked up at me, his eyes were as clear as water. When I left, his deer had been dead for many days. I dug a hole for him and buried it. At that time, he didn't have the strength to dig a not so deep pit to bury his beloved fawn. Now that I'm back, I actually saw the wall he built by himself. He has really grown up, and even the way he looks at me has changed. The high wall he built separates us, so I don't have the opportunity to look more One look at him, and I'm leaving again.

Liang Yi has accompanied me on this road of no return for many years. He is very good at blowing all kinds of beautiful tunes with leaves. I like listening to him playing tunes while watching the moonlight on the top of Fuxin Mountain the most. But when I left Fuxin, whenever he picked up the leaves, I lost interest at all.

I didn't even open the bag when I came back, so I was about to carry it on the road again. I gnawed on the steamed buns, and walked across the clear stream with Liang Yi to another high mountain.

"Wen Yi, do you want to change your shoes?" Liang Yi would ask me every time.

"A big man doesn't stick to trifles." Every time I would walk far ahead and answer loudly towards the mountain.

After crossing two hills and stepping on the land razed by Li Sha, Liang Yi and I finally arrived at the bustling market in Fuyang City. We came here five years ago and met a lovely girl named Liu Yingying. She has always deeply admired me and Liang Yi, two people in the world. She also has an older sister named Liu Wuyan. In other words, I often feel that she and the Li family belong to the same family.

Yingying was very happy to set up a table in the restaurant to celebrate our safe return. For her, every time we leave is like going to die, and we will encounter many dangers. This time Wu Yan also came over, she sat quietly beside Yingying, and didn't eat much food, occasionally I could feel her looking at me and Liang Yi with an unpredictable look.

I held a bowl full of food and ate silently, while Yingying held her chin in her hand and looked at me with radiance. I glanced at her uncomfortably and then hurriedly looked away. I heard her smile like a silver bell. The sound rang in my ears.

"Wen Yi, I don't think it's good to go on like this." Liang Yi seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, so he approached me and said this sincerely. I heard the words and looked at him innocently, at this moment Wuyan passed by us, a faint voice drifted past my ears like the wind, "Yes, Miss Wen."

"Sister, the guests haven't finished eating yet, how can you leave!" Yingying put down her chopsticks angrily, and shouted at the speechless back.

"It's okay." I quickly suppressed the astonishment in my heart and stepped forward to comfort her. Yingying smiled brightly when she saw me, put a chicken leg in my bowl, and said softly, "Eat more."

After the banquet was over, Liang Yi asked me on the road: "Wen Yi, how did Liu Wuyan know your real identity?" I looked at the people coming and going, sighed and said: "I can see it! It seems My outfit is not majestic enough, I will go to the tailor shop to have another one tomorrow."

After listening to this, Liang Yi looked at me and shook his head, and said helplessly, "You are already impressive enough."

Looking at Liang Yi's helpless smile, I suddenly felt a sense of melancholy, and patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Liang Yi, are you disappointed that you didn't see your mother-in-law this time?"

Hearing this, he smiled wryly and said: "My mother-in-law picked me up from the gate of the city and brought me to Fuxin to raise me up hard, but I only went back to see her once in so many years. She must be very disappointed in me."

"My mother-in-law didn't raise me! It's alright, after we find out about Li Sha's whereabouts, let's go back and see her." I waved my hands, leaving Liang Yi behind, and walked forward resolutely.

We lived in the house that Li Sha left us for more than half a month. We traveled almost everywhere in Fuyang City, and asked countless people, but there was no news about Li Sha. The note he wrote to me when he left three years ago has been crumbled by me. Later, I copied many copies and carried and looked at them every day, hoping to get some information between the lines in his words.

"Wen Yi, is your portrait not good enough? How come no one has seen such a big Fuyang City." Liang Yi held Li Sha's portrait and looked at it carefully for a while. Hearing this, I grabbed his paper, pointed at the portrait excitedly and said, "What's different, is there anyone in this world who understands Lisha better than me? Look at the mole next to his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth when he talks. The radian, which detail I didn't draw!"

"Wen Yi!" Liang Yi and I turned our heads together, only to see Liu Yingying rushing towards us holding her skirt. Liang Yi and I had a tacit understanding and unconsciously took two steps back, Liang Yi whispered in my ear: "Wen Yi, don't be tied down by the affection of your children at this time."

"I've finally found you." Yingying stood in front of us, gasping for breath while leaning on the wall, "Wen Yi, I met a man today, and he said he had met Lisha before."

Liang Yi and I looked at each other and asked at the same time, "Where is he?"

When we arrived at Liu's Mansion, there was no one in the lobby. The servant said that Yingying's father had gone out on business, and the guests he had just entertained were also missing. At this time, I heard the passing maids seem to be talking about the guests, so I rushed over to ask a question or two. I recognized one of them as Wu Yan's personal servant girl. The girl was very clever, she cleared her throat and said to us: "This guest's identity is mysterious, how could we servants know about it."

I pulled Liang Yi aside, frowned and said, "It seems that it's hard to get anything out of their mouths." Liang Yi nodded when he heard that, we looked at each other in silence for a while, and I came up with a plan out of desperation : "You go □□ them!"

Liang Yi rolled his eyes at me and asked back: "Then why don't you go? You are much more personable than me."

"I'll go, I'll go, the rabbit bites people when it's in a hurry!" I lifted the hem of my clothes, rushed forward, and said with a fake smile: "The two girls are so beautiful..."

"Wen Yi!" I turned my head to look, and Liu Yingying ran towards me angrily, and said with her hands on her hips, "No wonder you are running faster than a rabbit, so you are busy hooking up little girls." I heard the words Quickly waved his hands and clarified: "No, it is Liang Yi who has taken a fancy to him and wants me to help talk about it."

"Is that Liang Yi?" Liu Yingying was not someone to be easily provoked, her almond eyes stared straight at Liang Yi, as if she wanted to poke a hole in his face.

"Yes...that's what happened." Liang Yi had no choice but to say reluctantly.

"By the way, where's the friend you mentioned that your father entertained?" Thanks to the confusion, I still didn't forget the serious business.

"I went to work with my father. He has already settled in the guest room. He will come back after the work is done." Liu Yingying brushed her hair, snorted at me and walked out.

"Miss Liu, can we wait here for them to come back?" Liang Yi chased after me and asked sincerely when I was being suppressed by Liu Yingying. Liu Yingying turned her head to look at him, raised her chin and said, "Unless someone can apologize to me."

Seeing Liang Yi turning his head and staring at me firmly, I belatedly stepped forward and looked at him blankly. Seeing this, he pulled me in front of Liu Yingying, and said in an orderly tone, "Apologize!"

"Don't force him!" Liu Yingying turned around and pointed at me, "I want you to speak sincerely."

I stared blankly at the tears rolling in Liu Yingying's eyes, I was at a loss for a while as I had never seen her cry, I faltered for a long time without saying anything. Seeing this, Liu Yingying burst into tears, wiped her tears and said to me: "Wen Yi, do you know that my father is already matchmaking for me." After she finished speaking, she stomped her feet and said, "Stay wherever you like." , left heartbroken.

"Why is she crying? Because his father asked her to marry someone?" I looked at Liang Yi blankly, and Liang Yi hit my head with a straight face, turned and left.

"What happened?!" I stood in the same place stupidly, and shouted to the sky in a very puzzled manner.
