However, Jiang Xueyan was a little unbelievable. With this little trick, the adults in the yard never knew it. They could never catch Zhou Ziyan, who had waded through the stream to the other side to steal sweet potatoes, broad beans, corn on the cob?

Zhou Ziyan smiled and said, "Of course not. They have never caught me. In fact, they just don't want to catch me. Otherwise, how could I hide my tricks from adults..."

"But I heard that you were caught twice, and another time you were beaten to the point of bruising and swollen." Jiang Xueyan smiled and revealed Zhou Ziyan's true feelings.

Zhou Ziyan didn't care, and just smiled and said, "You mean the time I was caught by my uncle! Haha, who made me so greedy? The sweet potato seedlings were just going to the ground and dig them for me. I was wondering, and I also said that this year's sweet potatoes only saw vines but not sweet potatoes. As a result, I cleaned up the whole piece of sweet potatoes on my second uncle's house. It would be strange if I didn't get beaten..."

"So that's the case..." Jiang Xueyan almost rolled on the ground with a smile.

In the next two days, Zhou Ziyan and Jiang Xueyan either caught fish in the stream or went down to the field to help a few old people farm.

Although he is a little tired, Jiang Xueyan is increasingly liking the life of the mountain people who are sunrise and sunset. Moreover, the daily meals are almost all rare mountain delicacies that are rare in Jiang Xueyan.

After three days, Jiang Xueyan felt that she had really gained at least five kilograms.

However, Jiang Xueyan didn't pay attention to her slightly fat figure. She didn't eat delicious food, which was really painful.

On the fourth morning, Zhou Ziyan got up and after breakfast, he planned to go out, but Jiang Xueyan found that Zhou Ziyan was a little different today. She was wearing a white suit, which looked particularly solemn.

After a moment of pondering, Jiang Xueyan remembered that today was Zhou Ziyan's mother's death day. She quickly changed into a simple and serious beige formal outfit and went out with Zhou Ziyan.

Yu Lei’s tomb is actually not far from the yard, about one mile away, and it is also a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Next to Yu Lei’s tomb is another tomb, which is a tomb with a dressed tomb, Yang Xiaoting’s!

However, when Yu Lei passed away, Zhou Ziyan failed to come back in time. The funeral was handled by the people in the yard. There were only the simple tombstones that everyone knew, "The Tomb of Mrs. Zhou Lei Yu", and Yang Xiaoting's tomb did not even have a tombstone.

When Zhou Ziyan arrived here, his eyes were red all the time, but no tears fell.

He just squatted beside the tomb and pulled out the weeds on the tomb bit by bit. Even though the weeds and thorns cut through Zhou Ziyan's palms and fingers, Zhou Ziyan never said a word, and never stopped.

Jiang Xueyan knew that among these two tombs, one was Zhou Ziyan's mother and the other was Yang Xiaoting's clothes, who had not even found his bones. It can be said that they were the two most important women in Zhou Ziyan's life. Zhou Ziyan ignored it, even if his hands were fuzzy, he was actually venting his grief and sadness.

Seeing Zhou Ziyan's hands blurred, Jiang Xueyan did not go to dissuade Zhou Ziyan, but just accompanied Zhou Ziyan silently with tears in her mouth, helping to remove the weeds from the grave and bleeding with Zhou Ziyan.

Zhou Ziyan pulled out very carefully. After pulling out the weeds from the two graves, he picked up the soil and carefully cultivated the soil to make the two graves look taller and more rounder. Then he trembled and took out the incense, candle, paper money and fruits for offering.

After lit a candle and spread paper money, Zhou Ziyan fell down and kowtowed one after another. However, Zhou Ziyan kowtowed very heavily on every head, and every head was knocked down with a dull sound.

This is true for my mother in front of Yu Lei’s tomb, and so for Yang Xiaoting’s tomb. I bow three times and kowtow nine times in front of my mother’s tomb, and I bow three times and kowtowtow nine times in front of my tomb.

In front of the most respected mother and the most beloved girl, Zhou Ziyan felt sad. Jiang Xueyan could understand it, but in such a state of grief, Jiang Xueyan was really hard to understand.

However, in addition to being sad that he had lost two most important women, Zhou Ziyan also hated himself even more because he had not yet been able to defeat his biological father Jiang Baige. If Jiang Xueyan knew about this, she would not know what she would feel.

However, every time Zhou Ziyan kowtowed, his heart aches, hated him a little, but hesitated a little.

It hurts that he lost two most important women early. Every time he kowtowed, his heart aches. He hated himself for not being able to take revenge on Jiang Baige for a long time. Every time he kowtowed, he hated himself a little, but every time he kowtowed, he hesitated a little, how should he treat his half-sister, Jiang Xueyan!

After eighteen heads, Zhou Ziyan could no longer stand up and did not want to stand up. Zhou Ziyan wanted to lie on the ground to get closer to his mother and his beloved girl.

Because of his care, Zhou Ziyan seemed to hear his mother's loving rebuke and also seemed to hear Yang Xiaoting's whispers.

Everything became so clear, but so blurry.

Jiang Xueyan could no longer hold back her tears. Today, Jiang Xueyan finally saw Zhou Ziyan clearly. In fact, Zhou Ziyan's heart was actually far less powerful than his appearance.

Jiang Xueyan is even smarter and knows that people like Zhou Ziyan have absolutely the same strength on the outside and the fragility on the inside. The stronger the appearance, the more fragile the heart is. When they are strong on the outside, they can make people afraid or even retreat. Once they touch the fragility on the inside, they will make people unable to help but pity and sympathize.

It can be said that people like Zhou Ziyan are actually a combination of two extremes, but Zhou Ziyan has a strong ability to restrain himself and it is extremely difficult for people to touch his inner fragility.

"I don't say anything, I don't say anything, say goodbye between the flowers..."

With tears in his eyes blurred, Jiang Xueyan heard Zhou Ziyan muttering, her voice was low and weak, as if she was singing, as if she was interrupted and continuous.

"You are interested in my love forever..."

After a long time, Zhou Ziyan murmured again: "The clouds are made up, the flying stars are circulating, the silver man is far away, and the golden wind and jade dew meet each other, and the countless people are better than the world..."

Jiang Xueyan only said that Zhou Ziyan was telling Yang Xiaoting about her love of separation. At that moment, she responded softly: "Tenderness is like water, good time is like a dream, I will be willing to look at the road back to the magpie bridge. If the two loves for a long time, how can they be together day and night..."

However, Jiang Xueyan didn't know that these two paragraphs were the response of the two when Jiang Baige met Zhou Ziyan's mother Yu Lei. The next song "Magpie Bridge Fairy" was Yu Lei's sustenance when he escaped from Wu Meiyi's persecution. It was also the poem that Zhou Ziyan and Yang Xiaoting liked the most and were most willing to mention.

Love and hatred, love and pain are intertwined in Zhou Ziyan's heart, allowing Zhou Ziyan to suffer from endless pain.

But the more suffering he suffered, the less tears in Zhou Ziyan's eyes, all he had was anger and grief.

Zhou Ziyan lay down like this until the afternoon, until dark, and barely returned to Yang Jun's house, and he still lay down like this.

That night, Jiang Xueyan did not stay at other houses, but instead guarded Zhou Ziyan until dawn.

By dawn, Jiang Xueyan finally couldn't stand it and fell asleep unknowingly.

I don’t know how long it took, Jiang Xueyan was awakened by the low quarrels. After listening carefully, it turned out that it was Zhou Ziyan and Yang Jun outside.

Both of them had low voices, for fear that Jiang Xueyan would hear them.

After hearing a few words, Jiang Xueyan's heart suddenly beat loudly.

"Ziyan, if you still think I am a brother, forget Xiaoting and start over!"

This is what Yang Jun said.

"Impossible..." Zhou Ziyan's voice was low, but firm and decisive.

"Ms. Jiang is a very good girl, you can't miss it..."

"I have said it ten thousand times. In my heart, except Xiaoting, I can no longer accommodate anyone else."

"Miss Jiang is so kind to you, do you really have the heart to let her down?"

"..." Zhou Ziyan didn't say anything.

"So many years have passed for Xiaoting's affairs, why can't you let it go?"

"I owe her too much, and I can't compensate her for anything I do."

"Fart..." Yang Jun cursed angrily.

"..." Zhou Ziyan remained silent and did not distinguish, too lazy to distinguish from Yang Jun.

After pausing for a long time, Yang Jun said again: "Ziyan, you always think about Xiaoting in your heart. Xiaoting has been away for so many years and has not been able to stay anything. What are you trying to do? Can you still think of her? "

"I tell you, in another fifty or sixty years, when you ask Xiaoting what it looks like, I will remember it clearly. Brother Jun, can you stop talking about Xiaoting to me? I'm afraid, will you succeed?"

"..." Yang Jun fell silent again.

Jiang Xueyan lay on the small table on the kang bed, and tears suddenly burst out.

After a long time, I never heard Zhou Ziyan and Yang Jun talking again. Jiang Xueyan got out of bed gently and was about to go out when he heard Zhou Ziyan whisper: "Brother Jun, I have some money on hand now. If Brother Jun wants to move to the town, I can..."

"Stop..." Yang Jun flatly stopped Zhou Ziyan's words: "You know, none of the men here are cowards. They work hard on their own. Whether they are poor or rich, they live comfortably and peacefully. They rely on their friends and brothers Zhou Ji. We can't live such a life."

"I can lend it to you first, but it's not for nothing. At most, can you calculate your interest rate by a little bit..."

"Take you down, I will tell you Ziyan and I will talk about this to me again. I will be anxious with you!"

"Okay, I won't tell you about this, don't talk to me about Xiaoting, okay?"

"You..." Yang Jun almost jumped up, but finally hesitated.

Zhou Ziyan sighed and said, "I can't stay here for too long, I have to go back tomorrow. Brother Jun, what difficulties do you have..."

Yang Jun jumped up suddenly: "I'm going back so soon!"

Zhou Ziyan smiled bitterly: "I came back this time just to see my mother and Xiaoting. I have seen it. The company is busy again and I can't stay for long."

Yang Jun sighed: "A good man is determined by all directions. If you want to be busy with your career, I can't stop you. Remember, if you have time, come back twice more. Perhaps, in a few years, this place will be forgotten."

Jiang Xueyan was in the house and could hear clearly and understand Yang Jun's meaning. This place was too remote. Perhaps, in a few years, everyone would move out of this place. At that time, it would soon become a wasteland, wild land, and a jungle. Even if someone could remember it, he would probably not be able to enter.

Zhou Ziyan also sighed: "My mother and Xiaoting are here, how can I forget it? I plan to take them over when I settle down."

"Why do you have to do this? Ziyan, I know what you mean, but why do you have to do this?" Yang Jun said heavily.

"Oh, I want to go and see them again. I will leave tomorrow. I don't know when I will come back to accompany them?" Zhou Ziyan said slowly.

"Forget it. You just went there yesterday, and now you are going to bother them again... Forget it, I'll just accompany you. As long as you don't get close, it's nothing to do..."
