"No, I'm taking you as my sister." Tang Junyao pretended to be relaxed, "I don't know when I look at it, you are obviously a month older than me."
"Huh? Am I the elder sister?" Yan Wu pointed at the end of her nose and said in surprise.
"Of course! But you are stupid and timid. I'm afraid you can't be a sister, so continue to be my sister!"
"Oh... well, then I'll be my sister in my next life, a sister who can truly protect my sister." Yan Wu swears.
In the next life... Tang Junyao felt a pain in his heart, as if he had been stabbed by a needle.
"Okay, it's your turn to protect me in the next life, but don't lie!"
"Of course, I never lie." Yan Wu hurriedly assured.
Tang Junyao looked at her with a smile, seeing that she was so happy, and rubbed more and more beside her.
"Where are we going tomorrow?" Yan Wu asked expectantly next to her, her eyes flickering.
"Is there any place you want to go to?" Tang Junyao asked without answering.
"I want to walk around the street, okay?" Yan Wu asked a little uneasily.
This is her hometown, but she has never seen what her hometown looks like. Taking this opportunity to look around, maybe this is her last chance.
"Okay, let's take a look then." Tang Junyao agreed without hesitation.
Yan Wu smiled happily, her head resting on her shoulder, her brows and eyes curled with a smile, and her expression was full of satisfaction.
"I used to envy Zhe Liu, and I could lie down with you and whisper, but at that time I was timid and didn't even dare to let you know of my existence."
Tang Junyao was startled, knowing that she was talking about a previous life, a life she didn't even know she existed.
In her previous life, Zhe Liu was the person she trusted the most. When she didn't need to sleep, she would lie on the same bed with Zhe Liu and chat for a while before falling asleep.
"What about now? Does A-Wu have something to say?" She asked, holding back her sadness.
"Yes, yes!" Yan Wu suddenly became excited again, her eyes sparkling, and whispered in her ear, "Actually, I don't like talking about layman's words at all, and it doesn't look good at all."
"I don't actually like it either. The protagonist in his writing is too strange and too worthy of beating. After reading his words several times, and then seeing Brother Mian himself, I almost couldn't help but want to rush forward He beat him up." Tang Yunyao also said in a low voice.
Yan Wu 'puchi puchi' covered her mouth with joy, in order for the two of them to have a common view.
"But the fifth princess likes it so much that she has to read each book several times!"
"This is probably what kind of pot goes with what kind of lid!" Tang Junyao's tone was helpless, but there was a slight smile on his face.
Yan Wu heard another burst of joy.
"I also don't like the way Tang Yunyu looks at you, as if you owe her money and haven't paid it back. It's so annoying!"
"I also think she hates her very much, but it's alright now, she's going to get married soon, and there will be no chance to meet again in the future."
"Is she going to marry? Who?"
"It's her cousin from the Chen family, the one who is as fat as he was when he was a child."
"Fat cousin is not as good-looking as Ting's, nor Zhou's, even a layman. Tang Junyu must be very unhappy." Yan Wu was determined.
"A-Wu is so smart, I can guess it. She is not happy, but her father agreed, it is useless to make trouble." Tang Junyao praised.
Yan Wu pursed her lips proudly, and said again: "Your father will not force you to do things you don't like. Tang Yunyu's father is not as good as your father, nor my father!"
"Yes! How can the eldest uncle be as good as my father and your father?"
…
The night was getting darker, and the whispers in the room became lower and lower, and after an unknown time, the whispers subsided, replaced by the sound of even breathing.
After realizing that the people around her had fallen asleep, Yan Wu slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at Tang Yunyao who was lying beside her. For a moment, tears gradually gathered in her eyes.
Yaoyao, this time I'm about to break my promise...
She has no next life, so she can't be her sister anymore.
Early the next morning, Tang Yunyao woke up, looked sideways subconsciously, and was relieved to see Yan Wu's sleeping face.
It's okay, she's still here.
She gently lifted the thin quilt and turned over her shoes, and was about to go to the ground when she heard Yan Wuchu wake up from behind with a slightly hoarse voice: "Are you going to get up?"
"If you're sleepy, lie down for a while, it's still early, don't worry." She turned around, said softly, and reached out to pull the thin quilt that slipped down from her waist for her, but found that her own The hand actually passed through her waist and directly touched the bed board. When her heart tightened, her whole body suddenly froze.
But in just over a day, has it spread from the feet to the waist? How much time is left for them
Yan Wu didn't seem to notice her strangeness, and lifted the thin quilt with a smile: "I don't want to sleep anymore! Yaoyao is up, and I want to get up too."
"Okay..." Tang Yunyao's voice trembled slightly, afraid that she would notice something wrong, so she took a few deep breaths before trying to calm herself down.
"A-Wu, come here, I'll help you comb your hair." After she finished grooming and put on a men's clothes for going out, she waved to Yan Wu, who was sitting on the side with her cheeks on her back, and motioned for her to come over.
Yan Wu walked up to her cheerfully, sat down in front of the dressing table, and watched as she first untied her hairband for herself, then picked up a comb, and combed her hair full of blue silk that reached her waist again and again. , The gentle movements, as if she were some priceless treasure.
Her eyes were shining, and she had a happy smile on her face. She couldn't help but say, "Yaoyao, you are so kind!"
Tang Junyao looked at the bronze mirror, but she could only reveal herself in the bronze mirror, a person holding a wooden comb and combing her hair.
Tang Huaizhou, who was waiting outside the door, saw his sister dressed in men's clothes again, and sighed helplessly: "Where do you want to go?"
"I'll just walk around the street, and return when I see the excitement. I won't waste time." Tang Yunyao glanced at Yan Wu, who was following her excitedly, and then replied.
Seeing that Tang Huaizhou seemed to want to say something again, she hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, if you have other things to do, you can go. I can go by myself."
How could Tang Huaizhou rest assured that she would wander the streets alone, so she naturally followed, lest it would be too late to regret anything.
Although Huaiping County is not comparable to Anping County, it is also a relatively wealthy county under the jurisdiction of He'an Prefecture. There are all kinds of shops on the street, and there are all kinds of hawkers who are carrying things to sell. People come and go, and they are very lively.
Maybe because this is her hometown, Yan Wu is curious about everything she sees, and she feels happy when she sees everything, and because Tang Yunyao is always by her side, so there are no pedestrians who 'not long eyes' from her body Passing through, she became more and more excited to look here and touch there.
Tang Huai Zhou followed behind his sister with an unrequited face, watching her wandering around aimlessly, looking here for a while, looking over there again, rubbing his forehead with a headache, but he still accepted his fate follow.
"Yaoyao, smell it, are the buns here more fragrant than those in the capital? They are bigger than those in the capital, and even cheaper than those in the capital."
"Look, look, the candy man over there is better than the one in the capital."
"Also, people are more enthusiastic than the capital, and the road is easy to walk. Unlike the capital, there will always be some annoying people riding their horses in the downtown area, and they are too arrogant when they bump into people!"
…
Yan Wu walked all the way, comparing all kinds of things with the capital. Anyway, the food in her hometown was the most delicious and beautiful, and the people were the warmest and most sincere. Even the wild cats and dogs on the road were cuter than those in the capital.
Tang Junyao always had a shallow smile on her lips, echoing her a few words from time to time, or boasting a few words along her words, which made her so happy that she almost couldn't find the north.
Suddenly, a mischievous child emerged from the crowd and rammed around. Seeing that he was about to hit Yan Wu, Tang Yunyao hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her away, but he was empty and stared at his hand. passed through her arm.
Her heart trembled violently, her hands trembled constantly, and she finally hid in her sleeves and clenched them into fists.
Obviously this morning is okay, obviously she can still hold her hand this morning, obviously okay...
Yan Yan didn't notice her strangeness. Seeing a child rushing towards her, she hurriedly avoided it.
She breathed a sigh of relief, only then did she realize that Tang Yunyao hadn't followed, and was about to turn around to look for it, when suddenly she felt a chill in her body, which made her shiver uncontrollably.
The warm sunlight that sprinkled on her body gradually became hot, and her lips kept shaking, and then she bit her lips hard, enduring it with the greatest perseverance in her life, slowly turning around and raising her voice. With a bright smile, he walked towards Tang Junyao, who was also smiling.
"Yaoyao, I want to eat the donkey over there, can you buy one for me?"
Tang Junyao forcibly endured the grief in her heart, and didn't have time to think deeply about whether she could eat or not, so she nodded with a smile: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll be back when I go."
The moment she turned around, she couldn't hold on to her smile any longer, for fear that Yan Wu would notice it, she hurriedly stepped up and walked towards the hawker who was selling donkeys.
Yan Wu looked at her figure without blinking, trying to engrave her appearance into her mind and her soul.
The sun was getting stronger and stronger, and the pedestrians on the road were almost unable to open their eyes. She only felt like a fire was burning inside her body, but this time, she felt no pain.
She stretched out her hand slowly, watching her hand turn into scattered white light little by little, and then gradually spread to the whole body...
Yaoyao... Before she was completely absorbed by the white light, she only had time to sigh.
After Tang Junyao took the wrapping donkey from the peddler and rolled, she took a few deep breaths and repeatedly told herself not to act strange, lest the idiot be worried. Slowly turned around, and then, the bag of donkeys in his hand rolled and fell to the ground.
Yan Wu, who was standing not far behind just now, has disappeared. Faintly, she only saw a few white lights flickering and finally disappearing completely, and she suddenly panicked.
"A-Wu, A-Wu, where are you? Where are you?" She rushed over like crazy, looking for the familiar figure everywhere, but there was a vast sea of people, where was that person.
"A-Wu, come out quickly, come out quickly..." Her voice trembled slightly, calling out reluctantly.
"Baoya, Baoya, what are you looking for?" Tang Huaizhou, who was not far away, saw his sister suddenly rushed into the crowd excitedly, as if she was looking for something, so he was in a hurry and rushed over here.
"A-Wu, A-Wu..." Tang Junyao called out loudly with a cry.
Suddenly, she felt that she had stepped on something, and when she looked down, she saw that the wooden sign that was supposed to gather souls on Yan Wu's body fell to the ground.
She squatted down and picked up the wooden sign with trembling hands. For a moment, tears fell like beads with a broken thread, falling down drop by drop, and soon splashed the wooden sign.
"Baoya, Baoya..." Tang Huaizhou finally squeezed in at this time, and when he saw his sister like this, he was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her up.
"Brother, she's gone, she's gone..." Tang Junyao leaned against his arms and finally let herself cry.
The person who had been with her for two lifetimes disappeared, disappeared silently, and since then, in heaven and earth, in this life and the next, she will never see her again.
She must also know that she is about to disappear, so she will leave her, and she will not even let her see her for the last time.
she? who is she? Tang Huaizhou was puzzled, but he didn't ask much at the moment. He only felt faintly that maybe all of this had something to do with her secrets.
Brother and sister for many years, it was the first time that he saw his always strong sister cry so sadly, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
After he took her back to the inn half-supporting and half-holding, until she stopped crying, he ordered Lan Chun to pour warm water in and wash her face with a wet cloth himself.
"Baoya, you have to know that I am your elder brother, the only real elder brother in this life. No matter how many secrets you hide in your heart, your elder brother will wait for the day when you will take the initiative to tell me."
Tang Junyao held the wooden sign tightly, lowered his head and said nothing.
Tang Huaizhou sighed, rubbed her head lovingly, and was about to leave to let her be quiet, when he just turned around, when he heard her calmly ask: "Brother, do you know that Xuanqing Yaodao wants to arrest Xu's house? Who is the life of the little girl?"
Tang Huaizhou was stunned, and before he recovered, he heard her say, "It's me!"
He was instantly shocked: "What did you say?! That demon wants to hold your soul to continue the life of the Xu family girl?!"
Tang Junyao nodded, and there were tears in his eyes again.
At the moment when she told everything, she only felt that the whole person was relaxed, as if the big stone that had been pressing on her heart was finally removed.
She knew that the person in front of her would not doubt every word she said, and even though his cognition was seriously challenged, he would still choose to believe in himself.
Tang Huaizhou's eyes filled with disbelief, and he murmured for a moment, "This is too unbelievable, and there is such a thing. In a previous life?"
Thinking of what his sister had just mentioned in his previous life, his face suddenly turned ashen, his eyes quickly filled with murderous intent, and his body trembled with anger.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and managed to calm down the tumbling anger, looking at Tang Junyao with pity and distress.
When he didn't know, his sister went through so much pain, if his parents knew...
"Baoya, don't tell your father and mother what happened in your last life." He urged in a hoarse voice.
This matter is really unbelievable. It is cruel for father and daughter to kill each other. Dad is busy with business. There is no need to let these things disturb his heart. And the mother is so gentle and fragile, if you teach her to know what her most beloved daughter has experienced, it is no less than stabbed in her heart.
Tang Junyao nodded, she had planned to do so. Ever since she learned that in her last life she had spared no effort in targeting and suppressing her biological father, I still have lingering fears when I think of the pain at that moment, and naturally I don't want her old man to experience it again.
Tang Huaizhou felt a throbbing pain in his heart, as if being rubbed by a blunt instrument again and again, the pain made him almost convulsed.
He clenched his fists hard, gritted his teeth against the dull pain. After a long time, I squeezed out a sentence from my teeth: "I won't let them go, not one of them!"
Originally Qingjun's face, at this moment, it was a little distorted because of anger, and his eyes were full of anger, and there were faint flashes of water.
He couldn't imagine how he had spent his life after losing his mother and sister. Even without knowing it, he treats his sister like an enemy.
"Brother, Ah Wu, she disappeared, Sai Shenxian said that she is the soul of another world and cannot be tolerated in this world. She has already lost her soul. It's all because of me, she's like this because of me, she had a chance to live well. , whether it was in the name of Concubine Xu Shu in the past life, or returned to her own body in this life." Tang Junyao choked.
When she returned to this life, Yan Wu in this life must also be alive, she could have returned to her own body and continued her own life. But she chose to send her back.
Tang Huaizhou's throat choked, for that Yan Wu, who he had never seen before, but was full of gratitude to her at this moment.
For such a great kindness, he didn't even have the chance to repay.
—
Sai Shenxian, who was still sitting in a daze in front of the small coffin, heard the footsteps, and when he turned around, he saw Tang Huaizhou, Tang Junyao, and two brothers and sisters entering side by side, their faces were not very good-looking.
"Give this back to you." Tang Junyao handed him the wooden sign that he had been holding tightly in his hand.
He knew at a glance that the person had disappeared, and silently reached out to pick it up. When his fingertips touched the wooden sign, he suddenly felt a strange warm current spread through the wooden sign into his body, teaching him to unconsciously Startled.
He clenched the wooden sign subconsciously, and felt the warm current more clearly. It was warm and numb, but it was extremely comfortable. The whole person seemed to be gently wrapped by the sun in winter.
It seems a little different...
"Miss Tang, please stay!" He came back to his senses, and when he saw the Tang brothers and sisters leaving, he hurriedly asked to hold back.
"What do you want to do?" Tang Huaizhou kept his sister behind him, his eyes full of defense.
"I have a few words to ask Miss Tang." Sai Shenxian didn't know whether he already knew about Yan Wu, so he didn't dare to say it clearly, but just looked at Tang Junyao expectantly.
"You can ask whatever you want, don't hide it from him, he knows everything."
"Miss Tang, I just want to ask, is it really Miss Xu who sent you back?" Sai Shenxian asked simply after hearing this.
"It's her, there will be no one else besides her." Tang Junyao's tone was quite certain.
"Miss Tang, everything in the world has a certain number, and it is not violated by human power. How can Miss Xu be able to go against the sky with her own strength, this matter is doubtful."
"What do you mean by that? Could it be that she is lying to me?!" Tang Junyao's face turned completely cold.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. Miss Xu has a childlike heart, a clear mind, and a strong relationship with the girl. Naturally, she will save your life at all costs."
"It's just that this kind of transcendence of life and death, against the sky, is beyond human power. Unless she is a virtuous person who has the protection of merit and golden light, but even so, the only one who can come back can be her. Why did you bring the girl back with you?" Sai Shenxian became more and more confused and confused.
Tang Huaizhou's mind moved, as if he understood something.
Tang Junyao was also stunned, unable to speak for a long time.
"I haven't figured it out yet, I have to think about it again." Sai Shenxian muttered, and sat cross-legged again, frowning and thinking hard.
Tang Junyao also felt very confused, but she didn't know what to say for a while.
Tang Huaizhou patted her on the shoulder: "Let's go, we have to find brother Ting!"
Yes, I have to ask Ting Ge'er to discuss the burial of Yan Wu's remains in this life. Tang Junyao woke up like a dream.
She promised Yan Wu that she would be buried next to her parents, and naturally she would help her achieve her wish no matter what.
He Shaoting was also just about to look for them, and when he saw that they took the initiative to find them, he couldn't help smiling slightly. He habitually looked at Tang Junyao first, but saw that her face was slightly pale, and the whole person looked a little thin.
"What happened?" he asked worriedly, frowning.
Tang Junyao was about to speak, but Tang Huaizhou squeezed his arm lightly, and immediately swallowed the words back, letting him talk about the burial of the remains.
He Shaoting nodded: "This matter is not a problem. She is a descendant of the Xu family. She has suffered for many years. Even if she could not be reunited before her death, she should be reunited with her family after her death. If there is any problem with the Xu clan, I can negotiate on your behalf."
"No need, we have discussed with the Xu clan chief before coming, and he agreed." Tang Huai Zhou said.
The Xu family took a huge advantage from Xu Boru. Now that they have found the daughter of the Xu family, they will naturally not embarrass them. In the end, Xu Boru has contributed to the prosperity of the Xu family today.
"That's fine!" He Shaoting nodded, then paused and said, "I have other important things to leave, so I will leave the Chaoyun Guan to Cao Sheng for the time being. If you have anything, find him, and I will come back as soon as possible. ."
Although he said that, his eyes were looking at Tang Junyao.
Tang Junyao was a little reluctant to hear it, and stepped forward to grab his cuff, with a somewhat attached expression: "You have to come back sooner."
He Shaoting's eyes softened: "Okay, you also have to listen to your brother, don't run around to make me worry."
Tang Junyao responded obediently.
He Shaoting was indeed very busy, and he wanted to have a few words with their brothers and sisters, but after a while, three officers and soldiers came in to answer one after another.
Seeing this, the Tang brothers and sisters did not want to disturb him and left quietly.
"Baoya, you promise me that you will never let Brother Ting know about your past life." Tang Huaizhou suddenly said.
Tang Junyao was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Why?"
"Don't ask why, in short, you are not allowed to tell anyone about your past life, you promise." Tang Huaizhou's tone was rare and tough.
Tang Junyao was puzzled, but nodded and agreed: "Okay, I promise you."
