Chapter 11
As soon as this idea came into my mind, it quickly took root and sprouted, growing into a towering tree.
Jiang Mingyan thought, why not?
He hesitated and hesitated before because he was not strong enough and had no choice.
He was afraid that after leaving Wu'an City, he would not be able to protect Sui Sui by himself, so he had no choice but to compromise.
But now, Suisui has revealed his extraordinary qualities.
Sui Sui can control Hypericum odoratum and make it obey him. Most importantly, all this does not cause any hindrance to Sui Sui himself.
In the current context of Wuzhou where Jindan-stage cultivators have established their own sects and Yuanying-stage cultivators have gone into seclusion, with the protection of the second-grade spiritual plants, Suisui has the ability to protect himself, and Jiang Mingyan can feel a little more at ease.
Moreover, even if they still endured and gave in, the Jiang family in Wu'an City were still pressing them step by step.
Although Jiang Ruke did not say it out loud today, the vicious look in his eyes when he looked at Sui Sui still made Jiang Mingyan feel alert.
The various experiences after his spiritual roots were broken have made Jiang Mingyan see the true face of the Jiang family clearly.
He didn't know what Jiang Ruke was planning in his heart, but Jiang Mingyan never looked down on the Jiang family, nor would he underestimate Jiang Ruke's viciousness.
He didn't dare gamble with his own safety.
Choosing to stay in Wu'an City means putting your life and property in the hands of the Jiang family.
Even if he protected Sui Sui and helped her avoid Jiang Ruke's scheme this time, what about next time? And the next time?
Over time, he will always slack off.
The balance in Jiang Mingyan's heart unconsciously tilted towards one side.
He lowered his eyes to look at the fat little boy sleeping soundly in his arms, and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.
It is said that only when you have children can you understand the kindness of your parents.
He is now raising his young and ignorant younger brother, and he has already experienced the feeling of raising a child.
He had only been raising Suisui for less than two weeks, but he was already filled with worry, worried that he would be hungry, thirsty, catch a cold, or get hurt...
I guess it's the same for my father and mother...
·
Jiang Mingyan's heart was filled with emotions, but the little guy in his arms fell silently into a strange dream.
The little guy opened his eyes wide and said "Huh?" in confusion.
He clearly remembered that he fell asleep in his brother's arms, which was still a little thin but warm and reliable enough. But when he opened his eyes, his feet were hanging in the air and there was darkness in front of him.
The little guy stepped on it tentatively, but it was empty. The feeling of having no support made his heart tremble.
But he was indeed suspended in the air, very steadily, and the little guy had already vaguely realized in his heart that as long as he didn't want to, he would never fall suddenly.
"Brother..." After making sure that he would not suddenly fall down and turn into a pile of puppies, the little guy pouted and called for his brother in a whimpering voice.
Brother, where are you?
I can't find you every year.
This space seemed to sense that the little cub was about to cry. In order to prevent the cub from shedding its golden beans and also to avoid being beaten by its parents, the space surged and tactfully removed some of the darkness. A faint glow condensed, illuminating a small area in the center.
The little guy was attracted by the bright light. His round eyes blinked, his two chubby arms swayed, and he floated up again.
He didn't notice anything was wrong, and his chubby little feet continued to kick, like a puppy paddling in the water, floating forward clumsily but cutely.
After a while, the little guy floated into the space with gentle glow.
He peeked around curiously, but before he could examine every inch of the space, a clear green light caught the little guy's attention.
It was a round, plump seed.
It floats quietly in the air, with a playful soft green light lingering on it. It swims lightly, exuding a lively, lively and lovely agility.
He didn't feel anything before he saw it, but when the fat seed really came into his sight, the little guy felt a strange sense of closeness in his heart.
It seemed to be more than just a seed. He was so familiar with it that the little fat boy could even describe every pattern on it.
What is He?
The little guy ignorantly followed the desire surging in his heart, stretched out his chubby little hands and took the plump seed into his arms.
The world was spinning, and the little guy seemed to see countless broken fragments while half awake.
When the world was first created, chaos and mist appeared. Five rays of light flashed by like bright meteors, leaving behind only mysterious and vague legends.
The little guy fell into a deep sleep.
When he regained consciousness, the little guy saw the seed that he was very close to and loved.
He is silently sprouting, extending his stems, and growing leaves.
It seemed like just a short moment, but also like countless times had passed. He became a round little tree with lush green leaves and branches. The leaves were green and blue, and the branches stretched out, like a fluffy green cloud, extremely young and cute.
The little guy came closer curiously and unconsciously looked at one of the jade-green leaves.
A small, lifelike pattern is printed on the jade-like round leaves.
Golden light lingers around the flowers and leaves, and green is condensed on the branches. The fragrance is bright and beautiful in silence, and the temperament is natural.
It is Hypericum odoratum.
The little fellow cried out in joy and stretched out his claws to reach for it: "Tao Tao!"
But before he touched the round leaf with the green-leafed Hypericum printed on it, his body sank and he didn't know where he fell into.
This time the little guy is not like before and can move freely.
He felt as if he was being pressed down by something soft yet heavy. He couldn't move at all and could only lie stiffly on a soft blanket.
In front of him was a huge light curtain with flickering lights and shadows, reflecting the dim environment and swaying figures.
The little fat boy opened his big black eyes wide and stared blankly at the light screen.
"elder brother?"
In the light curtain, heavy rain was pouring down and it was dark and hazy.
The gate of the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard was wide open, and my brother, his clothes soaked, stood in the rain with an expressionless face.
The little fat boy couldn't help but shout "ah ah" eagerly, wanting his brother to come back to the house quickly.
The door is still open. Sui Sui saw it and said, "Brother, come in quickly."
But no matter how he called out, his brother, who usually responded to his every request, was still standing in the rain, with a cold expression and deep hatred in his phoenix eyes.
The little fat boy's voice gradually weakened as he realized that his brother in the light curtain could not hear his voice.
His soft hair drooped down limply as he watched his brother standing in the rain for who knows how long. Suddenly, he touched the dusty bracelet on his wrist.
The little fat boy recognized it; it was the Lanqiu Ying bracelet that had dimmed its luster.
What do you want, brother?
Soon, the little fat boy found out.
A long black sword was held in the brother's hand.
——Yuansu Sword.
The little fat boy watched his brother holding the Yuansu sword and walking out of the yard step by step.
The sky was hazy with heavy rain. The servants who usually came and went in the Jiang Mansion were hiding in their houses and being lazy. The guards were also dozing off and were too lazy to muster any energy. They actually let their brother break into the main courtyard.
The little fat boy saw the astonished and mocking expressions on the faces of the Jiang family members in the main courtyard, and saw the anger and murderous intent in his brother's eyes.
He watched his brother being kicked hard to the ground, maliciously humiliated, and dragged out of the main courtyard by the guards... The Jiang family members laughed and commented condescendingly, their mouths opening and closing, and every word was particularly harsh.
In their mouths, father and mother became the representatives of cowardice, incompetence and ridiculousness.
There seemed to be a big hole in the sky, and endless rain poured down, soaking every inch of land in the Jiang Mansion, silently nourishing sin and hatred.
The courtyard was filled with commotion as my brother, shoved and shoved by a servant from the Jiang residence, stumbled in and fell into the pouring rain. The tall servant carelessly tossed the jet-black Yuansu sword, which had been so carefully polished, and it sank like scrap metal into the stagnant water.
The servants of the Jiang Mansion left with sneers.
The courtyard was no longer filled with the blooming peach tree. Instead, it was bare, flooded by rainwater, and mixed with mud, making it a mess.
My brother lay on his back in the sewage, silent and dead.
If he hadn't blinked gently when the raindrops fell into his eyes, the little fat boy would have almost thought it was a cold corpse.
The little fat boy stood in front of the light curtain, shedding big tears one after another, but he could not move and could only let out helpless wailing.
elder brother……
The little fat boy wanted to rush into the light curtain, rush to his brother, give him a big hug, and tell him that Sui Sui would always be by his side...
"Sui Sui? Wake up..."
His body seemed to be shaken by someone. The little fat boy pulled himself out of his sadness and turned his head to look in a daze.
Then, the feeling of weightlessness hit me.
The little fat boy opened his big eyes filled with tears in his brother's arms.
"Ah?" He stared blankly at his brother's handsome face and made a soft, babyish sound.
"Having a nightmare?" Jiang Mingyan looked at the little cub's tear-filled, round, black eyes and red nose with a mixture of heartache and amusement. He stroked its fluffy, soft hair and asked, "Why are you crying so hard?"
"Those are all fake. Brother is right beside Sui Sui and won't let those bad guys bully Sui Sui."
"Brother..." the little cub called softly, his dark eyes staring at his brother without blinking.
All the scenes in the dream that made the little cub burst into tears turned into smoke and disappeared under the invisible force, leaving only a silent and cold face.
The little cub tilted his round head and stared at his brother intently.
He has thick eyebrows, deep eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, and is extremely handsome and sharp. Even though he is only wearing a shirt and his black hair is a little messy, it still cannot hide his handsome and elegant demeanor.
Same and different.
The eyes of the face that remained in the blur in my mind were even more dead, and the brows were even sharper, like a cold sword that had been tempered by countless storms, rain and flames, with jagged edges and no warmth.
——That’s not his brother.
His brother would smile softly, lift him up high, indulge him, and speak softly with reduplications.
The person in front of him is his brother, his unique and irreplaceable brother.
But why, even though he couldn't remember the details and knew that it was not his brother, he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken?
"What did Suisui dream about?" Seeing that the little guy was still staring at him blankly, Jiang Mingyan called out softly and then stopped talking. He gently shook the soft ball in his arms and asked in a warm voice.
"Wo..." The little guy hesitated.
He was unable to capture those scattered afterimages, and in the end, he could only stumble over the first half of the dream that had not been swallowed up: "Dark, then lit up... a seed, grew up... a small tree, and peaches!"
Jiang Mingyan tried to understand, but after trying for a while, he had to give up.
"Did Taotao bully Sui Sui?" he asked softly.
"No!" The little guy quickly shook his head: "Taotao, okay!"
"You like Taotao so much..." Jiang Mingyan gently pinched the cub's round and soft face, and said in a sour tone: "Is it so good?"
The little cub sensed something was amiss and raised his round face like a wary little rabbit, looking at his brother with confusion: "Brother?"
Jiang Mingyan was struck by the little cub's innocent and naive appearance. Just as he was about to kiss the cute little face, he suddenly heard a crackling sound and his expression became serious.
He carefully hid the little guy in the quilt and signaled the cub to be quiet.
Then he stood up, gently pushed the door open a crack, and looked into the yard.
Outside, raging flames roared and rushed towards the courtyard without mercy.
