Chapter 77 Come with me to grab the child!
The two were quietly "plotting" whether to run away when Duan Anjian came over. He accurately caught the guilty look on his brother's face and raised an eyebrow, asking, "What? Want to run away again?"
Duan Anluo was dissatisfied. What did he mean by "again"? He had only run away once!
Lin Wanqiu's eyes were red, and she hadn't wiped away the tears just now. "Aren't you staying at home for one night?"
Duan Anlu hesitated. As soon as Ms. Lin looked at him with that look, he raised his hands in surrender and had no way out.
"Then I'll stay for one night?"
Si Cang said, "Stay here, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Duan Anluo lost the strength to struggle, "Okay."
Lin Wanqiu looked at Si Cang and persuaded him to stay, "Si Cang, please stay here too. We have guest rooms at home."
Si Cang politely declined: "Thank you, Auntie. I have some things to take care of when I get home. I'll come back tomorrow morning."
Duan Anluo watched Si Cang's car disappear into the night, and his heart felt inexplicably empty, as if something was missing.
That night, Duan Anluo contacted Qi You first, confirming that Bai Ziyue hadn't lost the child, and only then did he feel relieved. He picked up his phone again to chat with Si Cang, his fingers flying across the screen. He had practiced the Pinyin input method quite well, even using the nine-grid type.
As they were chatting, Lin Wanqiu knocked on his door carrying two large bags of clothes: "Lolo, take these clothes with you when you leave tomorrow."
Duan Anluo opened it and saw all brand new autumn clothes. He was a little surprised: "Mom, aren't these all autumn clothes? Isn't it too early to buy them now?"
"What do you know?" Lin Wanqiu scolded, "The new autumn products are all released in the summer. If you wait until the weather gets colder to buy them, you'll only be able to pick up the old styles that others have left."
Duan Anluo was speechless, "Mom knows so much, Mom is so amazing!"
Lin Wanqiu was amused by him and happily held his face and pinched it: "Of course!"
Although he was smiling, Duan Anluo still felt that his mother was acting weird tonight, and her eyes were filled with complex emotions that he couldn't understand.
He couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Mom, do you...know something?"
Lin Wanqiu paused, then let go of his hand as if nothing had happened and hugged him gently: "Nothing, I just missed you."
Her child must have suffered so much in his previous life. This thought made her heart ache and she hugged him tighter.
Not long after Lin Wanqiu left, Duan Anluo was looking at the pile of new clothes, wondering how to carry so many. There was another knock on the door, this time it was Duan Anlang.
He walked in and handed Duan Anluo a bank card. "You're always out and about, so be careful. If you get into trouble, don't be afraid, just come to me."
Duan Anluo held the thin card in his hand, then looked at his serious-looking elder brother and said helplessly, "With you backing me up like this, what if I go out and do something bad?"
Duan Antang's eyes were calm and unwavering. "If you dare to commit suicide, I will break your legs."
Duan Anluo's mouth twitched. This sentence sounded familiar. "...You really are my brother!"
Meanwhile, Duan Duohai was wandering in the corridor. He finally managed to put down his pride and wanted to find Duan Anluo to say a few soft words to ease the tense atmosphere between father and son. However, he was stopped by Lin Wanqiu halfway through.
"Stop causing trouble in front of our son," Lin Wanqiu pushed him directly towards the master bedroom, "Go to bed!"
Duan Duohai felt very aggrieved. He was obviously the head of the family, so why did he feel that he had no status in this family?
Late at night, Duan Anluo took advantage of the fact that everyone in the family was asleep and quietly set up several formations at home to protect the house.
He had quietly left something to protect his parents, so he would know if there was any danger.
The purple aura surrounding my eldest brother was growing thicker, making it difficult for even those with ill intentions to get close to him, let alone evil spirits. With him at home, nothing should happen.
After doing all this, Duan Anluo went to sleep peacefully.
At around three o'clock in the morning, Duan Anlang suddenly sat up with a splitting headache.
The fragmented fragments in the dream were all clearly connected until his death.
Those were not dreams, but memories from his past life.
Years of drought left thousands of miles of land barren and starving people everywhere. The enemy took advantage of this opportunity to launch a massive invasion, the border was in crisis, and the army was in turmoil. He had no choice but to go to the dangerous place to take charge.
He knew what Duan Anluo was going to do, so before he left, he specially sent him to the palace and asked the emperor to keep him under strict supervision, repeatedly warning him not to leave.
However, Duan Anluo still ran away!
The younger brother who seemed gentle but was actually stubborn eventually sacrificed his life for the slim hope of saving the world.
When he returned from stabilizing the border after enduring countless hardships, he was greeted by news that Duan Anluo had completely disappeared. The younger brother he had raised with such care was nowhere to be found, alive or dead.
The national teacher gave him the most desperate answer: his soul was scattered and there was no such soul anymore in the three realms and six paths.
This news caused his already unhealthy body to relapse and he quickly collapsed.
Before he died, he actually saw Duan Anluo's soul split into several pieces and came to this world. He followed anxiously, but unexpectedly, he arrived several years earlier than Duan Anluo.
Then we saw the scene where Duan Anluo’s memories merged and he was dug out of the coffin.
The Duan Anluo in his previous life who worked hard for the people and eventually lost his soul, and his current lively and cheerful brother who occasionally makes people angry, are exactly the same!
After his breathing stabilized slightly, a thought popped up uncontrollably: Where's Duan Anluo? Did he run away again?!
Duan Anlang almost staggered out of the room and pushed open Duan Anluo's door.
Duan Anluo was hugging the quilt, breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.
Duan Anlang leaned against the door frame and looked at him quietly for a long time. This was the stupid guy who had made him worry so much. Only by seeing him with his own eyes and making sure that he didn't go out to seek death could he feel at ease.
The moment Duan Anlang closed the door, Duan Anluo, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, quietly opened one eye and glanced at the time: 3:15.
He patted his chest with lingering fear. Big Brother was becoming more and more terrifying. He carried out surprise inspections in the middle of the night. Who was he trying to scare to death?
The matchmaker is outrageous. She's received so many good things, but he hasn't even seen the shadow of his sister-in-law! If he were to find a wife for his eldest brother, he wouldn't stay up late at night to check on his younger brother.
Do we really need to set up an evil formation and sacrifice a few human heads to Yue Lao?
In the morning, Duan Anlang had regained his composure. He watched Duan Anluo carry the things prepared by his mother downstairs and wait for Si Cang to pick him up.
I'm so used to being wild that I can't stay at home for a whole day.
Duan Anluo was puzzled when he saw that Duan Anlang hadn't gone to the company. Besides being younger and in better health, he was identical to his elder brother in every other way. In just one night, his substitute brother's aura had completely transformed into his elder brother's. What was going on?
Also, why were you staring at him? Duan Anluo subconsciously shrank his neck. He really didn't do anything.
Duan Anlang walked over, raised his hand, and rubbed Duan Anluo's head. Duan Anluo subconsciously covered his face, thinking that his elder brother was going to pinch him again.
Duan Antang was amused by his actions, "Remember to go home when you've had enough fun. Be safe."
In his previous life, he was Duan Anluo's elder brother, and in this life, he is his biological brother. They are the same person, yet not the same person.
He felt the same way as his elder brother in his previous life, but they could not completely integrate with each other.
He has his own ideas, has received modern elite education, and has long since broken free from the shackles of feudal ideas.
But they had the same idea, which was just to make Duan Anluo safe and happy.
That older brother made two fatal mistakes. First, children shouldn't be restrained. The tighter the restraint, the more rebellious they become. If you keep an eye on them like a father, how can they stop running?
Second: How can there be true love in the royal family? Even if the old emperor knew that Duan Anluo would die, for the sake of his kingdom, no matter how deep his feelings were, he would let Duan Anluo take a chance. Maybe Duan Anluo was deliberately let go.
He even suspected that his father's suicide for love in his previous life was a setup by the old emperor.
After all, his maternal grandfather's family was powerful and controlled military power, so everyone pushed him to fight for that position. If he didn't fight, his wife would be dead and his son would be lost.
If he loses, he will die, and his son will die too. If he wins, he will still be a puppet, and his son will not be much better off.
Rather than letting the whole family die, it is better for him to take the initiative. The old emperor can take care of Duan Anluo out of the father-son relationship and ensure that Duan Anluo will live a life of wealth and glory.
I don't know why, but I already have complete memories of my past life, my mother knows everything, but my father still knows nothing.
Does this depend on Duan Anluo's attitude? Whoever Duan Anluo is close to will be the one who remembers him?
So, in Anluo's heart, his brother is more important than his father?
After Duan Anlang figured it out, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. When he was happy, he saw Si Cang's car coming towards him. The corners of Duan Anlang's mouth that had just risen drooped instantly. Although Si Cang was very sincere, he still disliked this kid.
Hearing Si Cang whistle, Duan Anjian said, "Ignore him, let's go."
Si Cang's lips curled up slightly. Duan Anjian didn't have to go home for dinner these few days.
He drove directly into the Duan family's house and greeted Mrs. Duan first: "Auntie, I'm here to pick up Luo Luo."
Duan Anluo touched the goose bumps on his arm. The cry was too intimate, he couldn't stand it! Moreover, Si Cang, a cold and fierce lion, turned into a soft little kitten in front of his mother, almost turning over on his belly. The contrast was too great, he couldn't stand it!
Si Cang put all his belongings into the trunk with a normal expression. Duan Anluo had already gotten in the car and urged him, "Let's go quickly. I need to go to the guild to get a certificate, and then go to the Real Estate Bureau to get the property deed."
At this moment, inside the quaint courtyard, a blindfolded man rested his head on one hand and lazily asked the butler beside him, "Have you found out? Who caused the stars to shift that night?"
"The current head of the Si family is Si Cang." The butler changed the subject. "But this is impossible. From what we know about him, he is not good at formations. He can use the power of the stars to cause such a huge spiritual energy turmoil and create such a large killing formation. All the known formation masters combined cannot do it."
The young man sat up straighter. "There's only one person with that ability."
"It does resemble that person's method, but it's impossible. There's no way a human could survive until now."
"Yes, he's dead." The young man lost his spirit. The Xuanmen of this era had turned into a barren mountain, with only a useless waste left. He hadn't learned anything from the Xuanmen, so he couldn't even muster the desire to kill.
The housekeeper said seriously: "How about we check it again?"
That guy named Jiang Yuan was such a loser that the housekeeper didn't even send anyone to keep an eye on him. The Xuanmen lineage ended with Jiang Yuan. Could there be other descendants of the Xuanmen?
The butler thought for a moment, then looked at his master's expression and asked tentatively, "Back then, no one saw that man's body. Could he not have died? Did he leave behind other descendants? Or perhaps he lived in hiding and had children..."
"Impossible!" the young man suddenly interrupted the butler. The demonic energy on his body violently tore through the furnishings in the room, and the table in front of him instantly shattered into powder. Behind him, a huge black shadow gradually appeared.
The housekeeper was so frightened that he knelt down and said tremblingly: "I just suspected it, it's definitely not!"
The young man controlled his emotions and gradually absorbed the shadow into his body. "Get up, I won't kill you. Doesn't that organization want to cooperate with us?"
The butler still didn't dare to stand up. "Master, do you mean that we should cooperate with them?"
"No," the young man smiled faintly, "I'm very interested in what they offer."
He raised his hand and touched his eyes. "All I need is a powerful sacrifice, and I'll be able to restore my sight. When the time comes, I'll tear down Duan Anluo's tomb and dig him out. Even if it's just a cenotaph, I'll dig him out! I'll keep disturbing his soul!"
The housekeeper was anxious, but he didn't dare to persuade him. In fact, the master had already known that Duan Anluo's soul had been scattered. There was no trace of him in the three realms and six paths. Even his eyes had been wasted trying to find him. After so many years, why was he so persistent? He had already been possessed by the devil.
Duan Anluo, who was signing the guild contract, suddenly felt cold all over and shivered.
Assistant Fang was still feeling hot. "What's wrong with you? Did a bug bite you?"
Duan Anluo glanced at the air conditioner in confusion, "Did you turn it down too low? I'm a little cold."
Assistant Fang said, "26 degrees Celsius is still cold? Tell Captain Si to tone it down a bit. You're too weak."
Duan Anluo didn't understand, "What?"
Assistant Fang saw that he looked confused and didn't seem to be pretending. He thought to himself, no way, with such a beautiful woman next to him, Captain Si could actually resist eating, so could he not? When he imagined that Captain Si, with his cold and scary face, couldn't do it, Assistant Fang stamped his feet excitedly. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he just wanted to make him happy first! Hehehe~~
"Psycho." Duan Anluo cursed in disgust, took the list and left. He wanted to go to the Real Estate Bureau to get the house deed.
After leaving the president's office, Duan Anluo was about to call Si Cang when Mu Qingzhuo called. After answering the call, Duan Anluo teased, "Son, do you miss your dad?"
Mu Qingzhuo asked in a low voice: "Godfather, please find a place where there is no one. I have something to tell you."
"It's so mysterious," Duan Anluo glanced around, "There's no one around, go ahead and tell me."
Mu Qingzhuo whispered, "I picked up a child."
Duan Anluo was amused: "Call the police! The child is missing, and the parents must be so worried. Why are you looking for me?"
"This child is abnormal. He... he has a pair of furry ears on his head. He doesn't look like a human."
Duan Anluo's expression suddenly changed. "Is it a boy of six or seven? Are the ears white? Do they look like wolf ears?"
Mu Qingzhuo asked back, "How do you know? Did you calculate it?"
Duan Anluo said excitedly: "Send him to my house and keep a close eye on him. Don't let him run away. How do you pick up everything? You also met Qi You."
Mu Qingzhuo couldn't understand it either. "I had just parked my car when he bumped into it. I thought he was trying to scam me, but when I got out, I saw he was covered in wounds and about to faint. What could I do? I could only take him to the hospital. But he refused to go, and wouldn't let me call the police or even take him home. He said he had barely escaped. As he was talking, he fainted, and then he grew a pair of furry ears. I was scared too!"
"What are you afraid of? The things I left for you, let alone a half-human, half-demon, even if a demon came, it wouldn't dare to do anything to you." Duan Anluo said happily: "Azhuo, congratulations, you're going to have a new brother."
Mu Qingzhuo: "..."
Duan Anluo calculated the time and thought he would meet the child who raised the Gu first, but unexpectedly he met the wolf cub first.
Qi You is a melee mage who knows how to set up formations, has a good brain, and can control the overall situation.
The little wolf cub is a thick-skinned assassin. He is the descendant of a wolf demon. Not only is he incredibly fast, but he also has thick skin and flesh, recovers quickly from injuries, and can communicate with animals.
The child in my memory was called Xun Xiao. He had never seen his father since he was a child, and his mother died when he was five years old.
He was taken home by his grandfather. His uncle and aunt disliked him and often beat and scolded him, even abandoning him outside several times. Unexpectedly, the young Xun Xiao was not abducted. Instead, he followed the scent and, with the help of animals, found his way back home.
Since he was six years old, Xun Xiao would transform into a wolf on the fifteenth of every month. The little boy knew that he was abnormal, but he didn't tell anyone. He would tie himself up on this day and hurt himself all over in order to maintain his sanity.
Eventually, he was discovered by his uncle's family. They wanted to sell him as a novelty and had already contacted someone. He escaped after finding out.
According to the time in the story, this should have happened half a year later, but unexpectedly it happened earlier.
Duan Anluo quickly sent a message to Qi You: "Stop playing around, your junior brother is being bullied, fight back with me."
Then Duan Anluo sent another message to Si Cang: "Are you done? Come with me to grab the child!"
Furthermore, he even called the police. What era is this? How dare they buy and sell children? Are they crazy? In the past, child trafficking was punishable by immediate death, and serious offenses were even subject to lingchi. Child trafficking resulting in the child's death was punishable by beheading, and the family members were also held responsible. No one would stand a chance.
The author has something to say:
Duan Anluo: Grab the child! Charge!
