The hunchbacked old man, who had just gone upstairs with a lantern, suddenly appeared behind her.
But his deformed face didn't look so terrible in the light of the fire.
"Where is Senior Dongfang? Has he gone to bed? "
Lin Mengya naturally had no time to care about other things, so she asked about the result first.
The hunchbacked old man put the lantern on the table, picked up a burnt sweet potato, quickly peeled off the skin, and stuffed it into her hand.
"He went out and will probably come back later. Eat it, it's still hot. "
Lin Mengya nodded. Maybe the result of the negotiation was not ideal, so Dongfang Xu just wanted to look for it outside like a headless fly.
The warm sweet potato in her hand was just right for eating. Lin Mengya smiled embarrassedly, but took a big bite.
Suddenly, the warm and sweet taste warmed her heart from the tip of her tongue.
Tonight's roasted sweet potato was more soothing to her heart than the delicacies she had eaten before. Seeing her eating happily, the hunchbacked old man chuckled.
He took the tongs and slowly picked out the chestnuts from the fire. After wiping them with a coarse towel, he slowly put them on the wooden plate in front of Lin Mengya.
"Enough, enough. Don't bother. By the way, I've eaten your food, but I haven't asked your name yet. "
Although the hunchbacked old man looked scary, he was very thoughtful.
Lin Mengya accidentally saw the hands of the hunchbacked old man, which were completely opposite to the scary wrinkles on his face.
Those were a pair of delicate and slender hands with distinct joints.
Even now, they could definitely move the heart of some people who had a fetish for hands. Lin Mengya was a little confused. How could this old man have such a pair of beautiful hands?
"My name … It's all in the past. Speaking of which, I'm just a few years older than you. Childe, since Mr. Dongfang is not here, why don't I tell you a story? "
Just a few years older than her? Lin Mengya looked at the hunchbacked man carefully again, only to find that his skin was not as loose as that of an old man.
But his voice was hoarse and low. It seemed that this man was also a man with a story.
The hunchbacked man fiddled with the brazier with a pair of tongs, but his eyes drifted somewhere. Perhaps it was because this little brother didn't avoid his gaze and didn't have a mocking or sarcastic attitude, which made his already battered heart feel a little comforted.
"There was a man from an aristocratic family. He was both talented and good-looking, and he was famous throughout the capital. However, he doesn't know that this useless reputation is a fatal poison to him. "
Lin Mengya bit the sweet potato and understood that this might be the story of the hunchback man.
"When the man reached the age of marriage, his parents had arranged a good family for him. However, the man was proud and arrogant. He wholeheartedly wanted to find the best woman in this world to accompany him. Thus, he disregarded his parents' objections and forcefully broke off the engagement. In the end, he really found the most beautiful woman in the world. She was truly beautiful. Every frown and smile of hers could shock the entire universe. The man liked her very much and spent a lot of effort to finally win her heart. Who would have thought that on the night of their wedding, the man would discover that his wife was having an illicit affair with his good friend. The man was so angry that he wanted to end the adulterous couple. Who would have thought that the woman would be so vicious. She had used some unknown method to turn the man into a cripple. Later, the man felt really ashamed to see his family, so he wanted to live and die on his own. Let's not talk about what happened in the future. "
The hunchbacked man finished talking about his past with a bitter smile and shook his head. He didn't expect that the past that he wanted to seal up. But on this night, all of it poured out.
There was no movement beside him.
The hunchbacked man thought that the little childe had already guessed it. Perhaps he would despise himself for judging people by their appearance.
He turned his head and was about to receive another lesson. However, he didn't expect that the little childe in front of him would open his eyes wide and look at him.
But in his eyes, there was confusion and — surprise?
"You're the elder brother of the Xiao family, aren't you?"
Holding the sweet potato, Lin Mengya was extremely excited.
She held the man's hand tightly and asked eagerly.
His eyes flashed, but the hunchbacked man wanted to withdraw his hand. Things had changed with the passage of time. He didn't want to tarnish the name that he was no longer worthy of.
"Childe, you've mistaken me for someone else. I heard this story from a businessman. Don't get me wrong. "
Lin Mengya caught the man's hand again. This time, she was extremely sure.
"Yes, you're the elder brother of the Xiao family. Don't you remember me? I'm a silly girl. My elder brother is Lin Nansheng, your best friend! Yi? Elder brother, I'm the silly girl of the Lin family. Don't you remember me? "
Xiao Yixin? Hearing the name Lin Nansheng, he immediately felt as if he had been electrocuted.
His body was stiff, but his hands were trembling non-stop.
He turned around stiffly and looked at the girl dressed in men's clothes in front of him in disbelief. He looked at her carefully again and again. Yes, her facial features and eyebrows were indeed somewhat similar to his good friend's.
However —
Lin Mengya thought that he didn't believe her, so she moved her long hair, which was combed with a silver hairpin, to her shoulders.
Her black hair was as black as ink, and when it fluttered, it made her face look as fair as jade.
Her watery eyes were full of ripples. She put away her pretentious maturity and regained some of the charm and liveliness of a girl.
Although she was dressed in men's clothes, she was indeed a woman.
"How could it be you —"
Xiao Yixin? He only felt a flash in front of him. In the past, the silly little girl in front of him couldn't overlap with the beautiful girl in front of him.
However, the exact same facial features were gradually becoming clearer in his memory.
"Because I —"
Lin Mengya was about to explain, but the door of the inn was suddenly opened at this time.
The two of them looked at the door at the same time. They didn't know when a black figure had appeared at the door. At this moment, he was looking at the two of them with a murderous look.
"Because she married me and became my wife."
His handsome features were tightly knitted together.
However, when Lin Mengya saw him, a panicked expression appeared on her face. Then, she let go of the other person's hand and ran up to him in a few steps.
The frown between his eyebrows also eased a little.
"Long Tianyu, didn't you go on business? Why are you here? "
His jet-black eyes were filled with only himself.
When she was not paying attention, he took her into his arms with his big hand.
They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and it seemed that this girl had lost some weight.
She really couldn't gain weight. She had only been struggling for a few days, but she had lost all the food she had eaten in the past six months.
However, Lin Mengya still didn't give up and insisted that he tell the truth.
Next to him, Xiao Yixin's eyes were dull. Next to him, Xiao Yixin's eyes were already dull.
He had never imagined that the silly little girl would end up like this.
She even married one of the most outstanding men in the world.
He felt a little bitter in his heart, as if she was mocking him for not cherishing her at that time.
No matter how Lin Mengya asked, Long Tianyu just didn't say anything.
Fortunately, she also knew that it was not the best time to interrogate him. After rolling her eyes at Long Tianyu, she still dragged him to Xiao Yixin. In front of him.
"Yixin? Brother, you should know him, right? Hmph, back in the capital, I, Yi Fei, was so arrogant. Big brother's reputation is much better than a certain someone's. "
Lin Mengya wrinkled her nose and picked up a chestnut to peel.
But Long Tianhao saw that her little hands were really clumsy, so he could only silently snatch it, crush it, and feed it to Lin Mengya.
The two of them were just small things inadvertently, but when they fell on Xiao Yixin's hand, Xiao Yixin was shocked. In his eyes, there was a hint of envy.
Back then, if he hadn't trusted the wrong person, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Of course, he had heard of Prince Yu. Just when she was about to bow, Long Tianhao held her firmly.
Long Tianhao looked at Lin Mengya. His eyes clearly told him that it was all because of Lin Mengya.
"Have a seat. We're all old acquaintances, so let's skip the formalities."
Long Tianhao was the first to take a seat. She could only follow behind him and take a seat.
There was a slight awkwardness between the two of them. But Lin Mengya had already picked up a ripe potato and was eating it happily.
"Yi? Brother, tell me, it's because of that woman that you've become what you are today. But I don't think you've been hurt by any external force. If it's convenient, can you tell me what's going on? "
Long Tianhao glanced at the woman beside him and thought that she had no table manners. It was just a potato. Did she have to eat it all over her mouth?
He didn't care about other people's affairs.
But he didn't expect that Lin Mengya's next action was very naturally to wipe her mouth with his sleeve.
Long Tianhao was speechless. Why was this girl always so rude?
However, he didn't stop her and let her wipe the ashes on her hands with the hem of his clothes.
Xiao Yixin smiled bitterly and said, "It's not inconvenient. When I found them, I was furious.
"What's so inconvenient about it? When I discovered them, I was furious. I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen, and then I fainted. I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen, and I fainted from the pain. I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen, and then I fainted.
When I woke up, I became like this. " Reciting a spell could cause a stomachache?
This was the first time he had heard of it.
Lin Mengya wiped her hands, raised a gentle smile, and asked cautiously,
"Well … I learned a little medical skills later. If you trust me, can you let me take your pulse? "
Looking at her sincere request, Xiao Yixin, who hadn't felt warmth for a long time, felt a warmth in his heart. He generously stretched out his hand and put it in front of Lin Mengya.
He generously stretched out his hand and put it in front of Lin Mengya.
"Thank you."
Lin Mengya immediately felt his pulse with a smile, but she didn't notice that Long Tianhao's gaze shifted from her hand to Xiao Yixin's. From the moment her hand touched Xiao Yixin's skin, it became awkward.
