On a hot summer day, Lan Yunyi braved the bright sun and walked all the way to this Taoist temple. When she saw the dilapidated wooden door and the dusty plaque at the entrance of the Taoist temple, her heart dropped.
After the master in the previous life helped Yan Yinxiao rescue her, he led a group of disciples to Xishan Mountain and never returned to Qingyun Temple.
Therefore, she had heard about the Qingyun Temple where her master had stayed before, but she didn't know that it was so...shabby.
For a time, the image of the master's immortal spirit, hanging pot to help the world, and selfless dedication became more majestic and glorious. Lan Yunyi sniffed with some emotion, and hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock——
"Excuse me, is there someone..."
Before Lan Yunyi finished speaking, she felt her eyes go white.
With a bang, the dilapidated wooden door in front of me fell down, raising fine dust in the sunlight, revealing the same dilapidated interior of the Taoist temple.
A gust of cold wind blew out of the Taoist temple, causing Lan Yunyi to be thrown into chaos in the wind.
Lan Yunyi:?
She didn't even try hard.
There was also a thin man coming from the wind. He was dressed in white clothes and a plain scarf. The wind in the Taoist temple blew his robe, and his wide sleeves fluttered in the wind.
His tall and straight posture added a bit of character to him, and his distant mountain-like eyebrows carried an unparalleled handsomeness.
Lan Yunyi saw his face from a distance, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she didn't care about the wooden door on the ground for a moment, and jumped to his side like a rabbit.
Two small dimples formed on both cheeks, and the smile on Qiao Ran's face was a smile that could not be hidden.
This is her senior brother, Pei Yan.
After she went up the mountain in her previous life, she could always recall her six brothers forcing her to cut her wrists and feed blood to Lan Wanru during the day; and when she dreamed about it at midnight, it was Yan Yinxiao who fell off his horse after being hit by several arrows in order to save her.
Scenes.
Because she was almost drunk and sent to the palace by her brothers. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could hear the emperor's grin in her ears.
He didn't think about food and food all day long, and he couldn't rest well day and night. His whole body looked haggard and skinny, and he was almost starving to death.
It was the eldest brother who cooked soup and porridge for himself in different ways every day, and found all kinds of topics to talk to him; when he went down the mountain with his master, he would secretly buy her daughter’s gadgets; knowing that she was afraid of thunder, he would always talk to him when it rained heavily at night.
He would rush to her bedroom door in the rain and stay there most of the night.
It was windy and rainy outside, and lightning flashed from time to time, illuminating the dark room and projecting the thin and determined figure of the young man at the door.
She knew that this was her senior brother.
"The heat is unbearable. Miss, you happened to pass by Qingyun Temple and wanted to come in to escape the heat?"
A warm voice slowly sounded in Lan Yunyi's ears. It was obviously an ordinary greeting, but it made Lan Yunyi's eyes red inexplicably.
Senior brother, I didn’t just pass by by chance, I came here specifically to look for you in my previous life.
But feeling Pei Yan's warm eyes, Lan Yunyi pursed her lips, said nothing, covered up the moisture in her eyes, and then nodded obediently.
Pei Yan touched her furry head lovingly, looked at her sweating profusely, and took her into the Taoist temple's wing.
The tall figure walked in front of Lan Yunyi, shielding her from the scorching sunshine without any trace. Lan Yunyi took the opportunity to lower her head and wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but she heard Pei Yan's voice again.
"If the girl has been wronged outside, it would not be a bad idea to stay at Qingyun Temple for a few days."
Tears instantly fell from the corners of her eyes. Lan Yunyi bit her lips to prevent herself from crying, but her emotions suddenly lost control.
Really, it turns out that someone still cares about her.
————————
Although Qingyun Temple is dilapidated, it is surprisingly cool inside.
Lan Yunyi held the iced milk that Pei Yansheng gave her and drank it in small sips. However, her eyes were fixed on the person in front of her, for fear that the person in front of her would disappear in the blink of an eye.
When Pei Yan began to suspect that there was something on his face, Lan Yunyi tentatively asked the question she wanted to ask: "Where is the master?"
"Master?" Pei Yan's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, "Do you want to ask my master?"
"The monarch of Longqing Kingdom wanted to ask for something, so Master took his senior sister to Longqing Kingdom. Several months have passed since the two of them set off, and they won't be able to come back until the New Year at the earliest."
Can't come back until the end of the year? Lan Yunyi sounded slightly frustrated.
But it sounds like the master is not in a bad state. Why is Qingyun Temple in such a dilapidated state?
"Then there is only Master...you in Qingyun Temple, are you alone?"
Pei Yan saw her hastily changing her words mid-sentence, smiled slightly, and replied: "In addition to me, there is also my uncle, but my uncle is not in the temple at the moment."
"If you don't mind, you can call me Senior Brother." After he finished speaking, he wanted to reach out and touch Lan Yunyi's head, but he coughed violently.
I saw Pei Yan covering his chest with his hand, coughing so hard that his whole body was shaking. Pei Yan looked pale and hurriedly picked up the handkerchief and covered his mouth. The bloodshot blood soaked the handkerchief.
Lan Yunyi stared at the blood on Pei Yan's handkerchief and stood up in a panic, her whole body shaking with fear: "Brother, I'll go find the doctor right away."
"Don't go!" Pei Yan hurriedly grabbed her wrist, but his sharp-jointed fingers felt a bit cold, "You don't need to see a doctor."
"You're already vomiting blood. If you don't go to the doctor, why don't you go to see the King of Hell?"
Concern leads to chaos. Lan Yunyi looked at Pei Yan's miserable appearance and spoke without hesitation.
"It's just because my uncle went out to perform a few days ago and injured his chest and abdomen. He will be fine soon." Pei Yan was amused by her words. He stood up holding his chest and couldn't help but touch her.
's little head.
"I'll go cook after a short rest. We'll have dinner together when my uncle comes back. If you feel bored, there are a few cows in the backyard, so you can keep them company."
"If you feel that the heat is unbearable, there is an ice spring in the back mountain. There is a cave next to the ice spring where you can collect ice cubes. The weather is hot and it will be bad for the little girl to get too hot."
Lan Yunyi looked at the pale-faced Pei Yan chattering towards her, just like in her previous life, treating her as her biological sister, and felt a soreness at the tip of her nose.
"Brother, what kind of art are you and uncle selling?"
Why are you reduced to performing on the streets?
When Lan Yunyi asked this, Pei Yan's face became a little embarrassed. He coughed a few times and wanted to avoid the topic, but Lan Yunyi refused to let him go.
"Ahem... A few days ago, I went to perform a street performance with my uncle and broke a big stone on my chest, but they were all minor... ahem... injuries."
Lan Yunyi's heart ached when she heard this. She had never thought that her gentle and easy-going senior brother in her previous life had suffered so much for money.
Pei Yan is soft-hearted and considerate, but the little old man of his uncle is always unreliable. He pulls Pei Yan to make troubles in heaven and earth, but Pei Yan lets him go.
She slowly raised her head and looked directly into Pei Yan's eyes, and said solemnly, "Senior brother, don't worry. With me here in the future, you and your uncle will no longer have to perform on the street. I will make money to support you."
As the sun set, the rays of sunset reflected in Lan Yunyi's dark and determined pupils. Pei Yan smiled and rubbed Lan Yunyi's face with the back of his hand.
The little girl came to Qingyun Temple with a red nose. When she thought about it, she knew that she had suffered a lot of grievances. Why didn't he want a sister?
——————————
It was dusk, and many candles had been lit in Lan Mansion.
After Lan Chongzhou returned to his house and took a shower and changed clothes, he stood at the gate with a gloomy face, waiting for Lan Yunyi to go back to the Lan Mansion to beg for mercy. This chapter has been completed!
