Chapter 110: It is reasonable and legal, I can’t bear it!
Duan Anjian glanced at him with disdain: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have always been your elder brother."
He looked at Duan Anluo's shocked expression, and finally slowed down his tone, "I remember everything now. It's like two souls merged together, and I have the memories of two people."
Duan Anluo's face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously took half a step back, almost wanting to turn around and run.
After thinking about it, it was not right. Why should he run away? Shouldn't he hug his elder brother and cry? After five hundred years of time and space, he saw his brother again!
Duan Anluo wanted to run over, but he saw Duan Anlang sitting down on a chair slowly, looking up and asking, "Shouldn't you apologize to me?"
Duan Anluo quickly stepped back with a strange expression on his face.
He dragged a stool over and sat at the door, where he could run.
I can't even stand, my legs feel a bit weak.
Duan Anjian was so angry at his action that he laughed out loud: "I am him, but I am no longer just him. I just remembered that now I have the same father and mother as you, and I share the same blood. I am your real brother. What are you afraid of?"
Duan Anluo breathed a sigh of relief. He asked softly, "When did you remember this?"
"It's very early," Duan Antang said calmly, "I'm the first one in the family."
Duan Anluo stood up suddenly: "Home? The earliest? Are my parents there too?"
Duan Anlang saw him moving up and down like a spring, and smiled: "Dad was the last one to remember. He only remembered it when you two went fishing last time."
Duan Anluo slowly sat back in his chair, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Did Mom and Dad remember everything too? Memories from their previous life?"
"Um."
Duan Anluo didn't know how to react for a moment. How could such a thing happen?
He had never seen his mother in his previous life and had no idea what she looked like before.
My impression of my father only stays in my childhood.
Only the eldest brother... He said that the temperament of the eldest brother was becoming more and more familiar, even the aura and purple energy that could not be ignored were becoming more and more similar. He never thought that such a thing could happen!
In other words, he had always regarded the big brother in front of him as a "stand-in", but he didn't know that he was the real person.
Thinking of this, Duan Anluo's legs softened again, and his voice became a little weak: "Brother, you are not still angry, are you? This is a new era, and the old ways are no longer acceptable."
He stole a glance at Duan Antang and quickly added, "You can't just hit your brother. Hitting someone is against the law. The police will arrest you."
Duan Anlang didn't originally want to hit his brother, but after hearing what he said, he inexplicably felt itchy and really wanted to beat him up.
Duan Anluo took small steps over and carefully hugged Duan Antang, "Brother, I'm sorry."
The year after his death, his eldest brother died.
He said it had nothing to do with him, but he himself didn't believe it.
Maybe it was because he was too angry or too sad that my brother relapsed.
After all, he was the one who raised him. His eldest brother was still a child at that time and was in poor health, and he had to worry about him.
The eldest brother perfectly embodies the saying "eldest brother is like a father", and he is not even his biological brother.
Duan Anluo promised earnestly: "Brother, I won't lie to you again."
Duan Antang patted him on the back and said, quite disruptively, "I don't believe it."
Duan Anluo asked aggrievedly, "...What happened to the promise that an elder brother is like a father and that brothers love each other deeply? Brother, don't you love me anymore? You were obviously not like this before!"
Duan Anlang said with disdain: "No, I just understand what kind of person you are. If you get into trouble, you can even deceive a dog."
Duan Anluo: “…”
"You not only cheat dogs, you also cheat old men and old women, from court officials to peddlers and merchants. Can you tell me who has not been fooled by you?"
"...Brother, you are going too far. You are wronging me."
"I'm wronging you? You go to see your grandmother once, and even the toothless old concubines line up to have their palms read!"
"I can see for sure! Otherwise, how could they believe me?"
"You swore to me, you dared not do this, you dared not do that. Now, you close your eyes and open your mouth and say that Taoism is natural. Do whatever you want. Otherwise, your Taoism heart will be unstable! You will never mention the oath you made before!"
"Then, that would really make my mind unstable. Isn't that just a coincidence?"
Duan Antang sneered, "When you're beating people, you believe in Taoism. When you're coaxing people, you believe in Buddhism. What you believe in depends on what you want to do. Whatever is beneficial to you, that's what you believe in."
Duan Anluo was speechless. He was indeed that smart.
"You told me that a general in the field is not subject to military orders. I asked you to do something serious, but you ran away. My men chased you from Kyoto to Jiangnan, but found you outside the Great Wall!"
Duan Anjian hadn't intended to scold him, but all the grievances seemed to be piling up in his heart, and as he spoke, he became angry.
The more Duan Anluo listened, the lower his head fell. All the touching plots he imagined were ruthlessly cut short by his elder brother. He thought, this family really cannot do without a sister-in-law.
In the past, whenever his eldest brother said this to him, his sister-in-law would come out to help him. But where was his sister-in-law, the daughter of a military family, a woman who could manage the household with literary skills and command military battles?!
Since Yue Lao didn't do anything with his things, he went back and smashed the statue of Yue Lao!
Duan Anluo asked softly, "Brother, you've never gotten married. Have you been waiting for my sister-in-law?"
His brother only has his sister-in-law, and the backyard is very clean. The two of them have always been in love. The little nephew is also very cute, but he has a bad temper, just like his father, and likes to preach.
Duan Anlu couldn't stand the child pretending to be an adult, so he deliberately took him out to play. His eldest brother was so angry that he grabbed his uncle and nephew and beat them together. In the end, it was his eldest sister-in-law who protected them.
Duan An'an's face darkened, and he suddenly skipped the topic. "What happened to that fish that bumped into me? Did it have a grudge against you?"
The Duan family members are all the same. Their way of changing the subject is to simply cut it off, very quickly.
Duan Anluo understood that his elder brother might not have met the right person before. After awakening his memory, he definitely looked down on no one except his sister-in-law.
Duan Anluo knew what was going on. He stopped asking and followed his elder brother to change the subject, "How did you know?"
"It's related to your major, and he chose your birthday to bump into me. Unless they have a grudge, I can't imagine who would give you such a big gift."
Duan Anluo smiled bitterly: "Brother, I really can't hide anything from you."
Duan Anlang sneered, "Haven't you hidden enough from me? Whether it was before or now."
Duan Anluo took a deep breath and said, "Let me calm down for a moment. My mind is still a little confused."
He rubbed his temples. The impact was too great. His whole family had the original memory, but he was still hiding it, afraid that they would be sad. He was like a fool.
He gathered his thoughts and said, "They are indeed targeting me, so I'm telling you what the guild does so you can be prepared. You can also ask the guild for help if you need help. They have many branches, so you can find people everywhere."
Duan Antang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Also, you left something with me to protect me, right?"
Duan Anluo did not hide it anymore. He raised his hand and called softly. The two little foxes silently revealed their true forms and jumped onto Duan Anluo's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right. They were Yunbao and Xuebao.
Duan Anluo felt the weight on his shoulders and his back was about to bend. These two fat girls were heavy again!
"I have also made a lot of arrangements for my parents." He said, and woke up Xiaobai who was wrapped around his wrist.
A white light flashed, and a white snake as thick as a bucket with horns on its head appeared instantly. It coiled docilely beside Duan Anluo, spitting out its tongue and twisting its body to Duan Anlang in a flattering way: See you again, hiss~
Even though Xiaobai restrained his breath, the scene was still scary.
Duan Anlang recognized it and asked, "Is this the white snake you used to raise?"
Duan Anluo nodded, "Yes, it's the one you said was dangerous and told me not to keep it and send it to the mountains immediately."
Duan Anlang frowned. It had been quite large before, but now it was this big. How could a snake live this long? And that on its head was... a dragon horn?
"He is Si Cang's pet now, a spy sent by me." Duan Anluo smiled and touched Xiaobai's head. As long as the contract was not terminated, he could see whatever Si Cang did through Xiaobai's eyes.
Xiaobai came closer affectionately, and its cool and smooth scales gently touched Duan Anluo's cheek.
Duan Anluo smiled and touched its face, his tone full of undisguised admiration: "Si Cang is really good at raising children, and he can even help me raise an apprentice."
When Si Cang was mentioned, Duan Anluo's eyes lit up instantly, and his whole body glowed with a different kind of aura.
Duan Anlang looked at his brother and shook his head helplessly, "Si Cang is also from your circle, right?"
"Yes," Duan Anluo nodded, "He is considered a top-tier fighter. Every mission he takes is a major event. He is China's sharp sword and its strongest shield."
Duan Antang pondered, "No wonder the Si family has weathered all the storms and remained standing. Business operations alone can't support such a large family foundation. It's just too dangerous."
With such a huge family business, he is still willing to risk his life for ordinary people. Although Duan Anjian doesn't want to admit it, he has to say that he has a sense of respect for Si Cang in his heart.
"But he doesn't go on missions very often." Duan Anluo was afraid that his elder brother would worry that Si Cang would die in battle at any time and would try to stop them, so he quickly added: "His most important task at the moment is to protect me. I am a master of formations, and the guild has designated me as a key protected person."
Assistant Fang's attitude represented the attitude of the guild's top management. Duan Anluo could see that, except for Si Cang, no one else wanted him to get into trouble.
Duan Anlang was silent for a moment, his eyes deep in his eyes as he looked at his brother. He knew he couldn't change his brother's path, so he finally said in a deep voice, "I know I can't stop you. I just hope that when you encounter danger in the future, you can think more about us and not always be the first to rush forward."
His voice was not loud, but every word was clear: "You've already died once. In this life, live for yourself. This is also what Dad wants. As for Mom..."
Duan Antang's tone slowed down. "She doesn't even need to ask for anything. She just wants you to be safe."
Duan Anluo met his elder brother's gaze and nodded seriously: "I understand."
He paused. "I plan to officially admit my identity and lure out the person behind this. Once the guild releases the news, I'm sure you won't be able to hide it. As for my parents, please keep it a secret for me and don't let them worry."
After the two brothers finished discussing in the study, Duan Anluo hurried back to the living room to find Si Cang.
The scene in front of him stunned him. Lin Wanqiu was sitting on Si Cang's left, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried; Duan Duohai was sitting on Si Cang's right, and although his face was gloomy, there was a moist light in his eyes.
Si Cang, who was sandwiched between the two, had a calm expression on his face. However, his slightly stiff sitting posture and slightly furrowed brows revealed that he was a little overwhelmed by this sudden enthusiasm.
Duan Anluo asked doubtfully, "What's going on?"
Duan Duohai raised his head upon hearing the voice, sighed heavily, and said to his son in a deep voice: "You must treat Si Cang well in the future. He is a member of our family. If you dare to bully him, I will be the first one to not forgive you."
Lin Wanqiu, who was standing next to him, also took Si Cang's hand and patted it gently, her voice still choking with sobs: "It's okay, child, I will love you from now on. In my heart, you and Luo Luo are the same."
Duan Anluo was speechless for a moment, and his gaze shifted to Si Cang, his eyes showing: What on earth did you do to my parents?
Si Cang turned his head slightly to meet his gaze, the corners of his mouth curved upwards almost imperceptibly, and with a look that only the two of them could understand, he conveyed the message: Done.
The couple asked him about his family affairs, and he just told them the truth. He didn't expect them to react so strongly, which was unexpected.
Duan Anluo: I'm going to get you! These are my parents! My real parents!
He was only away for a while, why did it feel like Si Cang would be the one to be closer from now on?
Duan Anluo's eyes were slightly red, his voice was a little choked, he gently opened his arms and whispered: "Mom... hug me." He had mixed feelings in his heart. His mother had memories of her previous life. Was it that she was stuck on the part where she died in pain after giving birth to him?
Lin Wanqiu was stunned for a moment, then she hugged him gently and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Duan Anluo buried his face in her shoulder and smiled, then said in a muffled voice, "Nothing, I just wanted to hug you."
Lin Wanqiu patted him gently on the back, vaguely understanding something from his unusual behavior. This kid, it seemed, knew.
"It's all in the past. Don't think about the painful things anymore. Now we are together as a family, living in peace and happiness. The future will be good. Your father and I didn't mention it to you because we were afraid that you would think about the past and be sad."
Duan Anluo smiled and shook his head, "I was afraid you would feel that you couldn't stand it if you changed your son."
Lin Wanqiu was amused. "We were all thinking about each other, but we ended up becoming a burden. Now that we've talked it out, we're actually happy. People have mouths for conversation, so we need to communicate in a timely manner."
She grabbed Duan Anluo's hand, then took Si Cang's, and intertwined their hands. "You two too, if you have any problems, just speak up, don't keep them in your heart. Relationships are most afraid of suspicion. If you keep guessing, even the best relationship will have problems."
Duan Anluo nodded in agreement, "I understand."
Duan Duohai, who was standing by, stared intently and couldn't help but ask, "What about me? Don't you miss your dad?"
Duan Anluo reached out and touched his father's neck, pretending to smile casually and said, "Dad, does your neck still hurt? Back then, you were bleeding profusely, and I couldn't cover it up no matter how hard I tried."
Although he spoke with a smile, the meaning of his words made the listener's heart sink. His mother had died giving birth to him, and his father had committed suicide in front of his mother's portrait, blood gushing out. The young boy, panicked, pressed his tiny hands against the wound, but the blood still flowed from between his fingers... How terrified must he have been then?
Duan Duohai's throat tightened. He had wanted to say that he had his own difficulties back then, but now it would all sound hypocritical. He finally whispered, "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Si Cang keenly noticed the change in atmosphere. It was completely different from the relaxed family chat just now. Did Duan Anlang say something?
At this time, the nanny came to remind, "Sir, Madam, the meal is ready, do you want to eat?"
"Let's go eat," Lin Wanqiu pulled Duan Anluo and Si Cang, "Are you two too busy to eat properly? You're both so thin, you need to eat more."
Duan Anluo couldn't help but laugh out loud. He always complained that his apprentice was too thin, but in the eyes of his parents, he was always a child who needed to be fattened up.
Lin Wanqiu noticed that Duan Anlang hadn't come down yet, so she called out from downstairs, "Anlang, stop busying yourself, it's time to eat!"
After hearing the response, she said softly, "You two should stay at home for a few more days."
Duan Duohai deliberately put on a stern face: "Don't they have a house nearby? Let's go back after dinner. It's not appropriate for young people to live with us. If you are uncomfortable, we will feel uncomfortable too."
Duan Anluo thought to himself, do you think I would deliberately make you angry, stand by your bed at night and shout: Dad, save me?
As soon as Duan Anlang came downstairs, he saw Duan Anluo's eyes and immediately said, "He's old, don't do anything stupid."
Duan Anluo was puzzled, "I didn't do anything."
Duan Anlang ignored him and said, "You didn't do it, you were already thinking about it."
After dinner, Duan Duohai chased them away again. Seeing Duan Anluo's resentful look, he smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me? Your brother will be the same after he gets married. We won't live with you. Let's go. Your mother and I are going to travel around the world."
Duan Anluo blinked, "What a coincidence! I also want to travel around the world by high-speed rail and airplane."
Duan Duohai snorted: "We won't take you with us."
Duan Anluo replied with a smile: "What a coincidence, I didn't plan to go with you either."
"Go away!" Duan Duohai scolded with a smile, "Remember to come back for lunch tomorrow!"
"I left and you still miss me. Why are you so fierce? Are you trying to hide your guilt?"
Duan Duohai waved his hand and turned away, muttering, "I can't cure this bastard."
Duan Anluo wanted to tease his father a few more times, but when he looked up, he saw his eldest brother coming out.
He stopped talking, grabbed Si Cang, turned around and ran away.
Duan Antang reminded him quietly from behind: "Contract."
Duan Anluo waved his hand without even turning back: "No more, tear it up!"
Duan Anluo returned to Si Cang's residence, took a comfortable hot bath, relaxed and lay down on the bed, sighing with satisfaction. Thinking of everything that happened today, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Si Cang walked in and saw him like this. He was infected by his emotions and subconsciously raised the corners of his lips: "So happy?"
Duan Anluo sat up excitedly, his eyes sparkling: "Si Cang, my parents, and my brother, they all came with me."
Si Cang sat down beside the bed: "You mean everyone is here...your former family members?"
"Yes," Duan Anluo nodded, his tone a little softer, "My mother had a difficult labor and died of hemorrhage when she gave birth to me. I have never seen her, only her portrait."
"My father committed suicide when I was four. Now that I think about it, he probably had his reasons. Whether it was a suicide for love or a power struggle, it's all in the past, and I don't blame him anymore."
He fell back onto the pillow and smiled, "My eldest brother was actually my eldest uncle's son in his previous life. He was the one who raised me after my father passed away. He was only twelve years old at the time, and his own health wasn't very good. He had to raise a four-year-old like me, which caused a lot of trouble. He made a lot of jokes."
He looked at the ceiling, his brows relaxed, and he said softly, "I will not curse the Heaven so loudly in the future, and I have to thank the Heaven."
He would endure it and curse softly.
Si Cang lay down beside him, propping up his head with his hands, and looked at him quietly. He had just finished a shower, and the belt of his bathrobe was loose, revealing his well-defined chest.
Duan Anluo narrowed his eyes and poked his finger unconsciously: "Why aren't you wearing pajamas?"
His fingertips first lightly touched his chest muscles, then slid to his tight abdominal muscles, and he praised: "It feels good."
Si Cang grabbed the hand that was setting fire everywhere, brought it to his lips and kissed the fingertips, his voice low and hoarse: "I'm hungry."
Duan Anluo raised his eyebrows: "You ate so much for dinner, but you're still not full?"
"Yes, I'm full." Si Cang lowered his head and put his lips close to his. "Seeing you makes me hungry again."
Duan Anluo chuckled: "Are you seducing me?"
Si Cang's eyes were deep, and his voice was full of temptation: "It is reasonable and legal, you can tolerate it."
Duan Anluo hooked his neck, his eyes gleaming: "I can't bear it anymore!"
Before Duan Anluo could finish his words, he felt a tingling sensation in his neck, accompanied by a slight sting. He immediately panicked, "You, please be gentle, don't bite me, I have to go home tomorrow..."
Si Cang chuckled, his breath hot brushing past his ear: "You must believe in your physique."
"What kind of constitution?"
"The demon god's body recovers very quickly."
"Get out of here! Is this how you use this physique? You simply..." Duan Anluo was embarrassed and annoyed, and his mouth was blocked before he could finish his words.
"Shh," Si Cang said in a low, domineering voice, "Focus."
