“Ah~~Ah~~!”
"Oh my god~"
Xiao Yunyou was shaking the wood with all his might.
Suddenly a woman appeared at the window, scaring him so much that he screamed.
"Ghost...Ghost..."
Xiao Yunyou's eyes widened, his lips trembling in panic, his hands were weak and he couldn't hold the wood, and the big piece of wood fell directly from his hands.
Lin Yiran was speechless and wanted to roll her eyes.
She held the wood with one hand and quickly pressed Xiao Yunyou's mute point with the other.
Xiao Yunyou opened his mouth wide, so anxious that he couldn't speak.
Lin Yiran gently put the wood on the ground and jumped in through the window.
"Second brother, I am your fourth brother's sister-in-law, what ghost is this?"
Lin Yiran glanced around the room and turned to look at Xiao Yunyou, whose eyes were as big as copper bells.
"I'll light it up for you, don't scream."
The environment where my second brother lived was very simple. There was only a bed made of wooden boards in the thatched house.
There were several patched clothes piled on the wooden bed.
The wooden board was supported by two mud blocks.
The large and small holes in the door and the window facing the coriander field were stuffed with torn pieces of cloth.
It can be seen that the second brother has tried his best to block out the smell of coriander.
Xiao Yunyou's eyebrows trembled sharply and he nodded vigorously.
My fourth brother’s wife is so awesome.
Although he doesn't know martial arts, looking at his fourth brother's wife's graceful movements, she is definitely better than his eldest brother.
Lin Yiran took a deep breath, and with a flick of her finger in mid-air, she untied Xiao Yunyou's mute point.
Her second brother was so thin that she didn't even dare to use her fingers to press the acupuncture points on his body, for fear of making him fly away.
It is hard to imagine that a man who is 1.8 meters tall is so skinny that he has only a few pounds of flesh on his body.
His face was just a layer of skin hanging over bones, and he was even thinner than the refugees she met when she was fleeing.
When the robe was worn by my second brother, it swayed like a branch.
Lin Yiran looked at her second brother and thought he looked like the scarecrow that the villagers hung in the ground to scare away birds.
My second brother has become so thin that my second sister-in-law would probably cry to death if she saw him.
".....Ah!" Xiao Yunyou opened his mouth and was able to make a sound.
He pulled the corner of his lips awkwardly and coughed lightly.
"Well, this----"
"Fourth sister-in-law, I wonder which sect you learned from!?"
As soon as he said this, Xiao Yunyou felt so regretful that he wanted to slap himself.
There's something stuck between his ears, why did he suddenly become brainless?
Is he that familiar with his fourth brother's wife that he can just pry into other people's privacy like that?
What a sin!
His brain suddenly got stuck and he didn't know what to say, so he just mumbled this sentence.
Lin Yiran looked at Xiao Yunyou's annoyed expression, a hint of smile flashed in her eyes.
"Second brother, now is not the time to talk about this."
"We should go back. Everyone is waiting for us to go back."
Looking at the sky, it would definitely be dark by the time they arrived at the camp of General Xiao and his men.
However, she was very satisfied with the efficiency of finding their father and brothers in just one day.
Later, they were given time to recuperate while slowly catching up with the main force, which was very easy.
"Go back home!!"
Xiao Yunyou suddenly opened his eyelids and looked at Lin Yiran, unable to control the excitement in his heart.
For so many years, these two words have been lingering in his mind, and the longing has made him feel uncomfortable.
When this day finally came, he was so overwhelmed.
Thinking of the relatives he was about to meet, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and his face showed a look of both nervousness and excitement.
The closer I get to home, the more timid I feel.
He took a deep breath, clasped his hands together nervously, and rubbed them excitedly twice.
Suddenly, the expression on Xiao Yunyou's face froze.
He lowered his eyes to look at his skinny hands, and his brows unconsciously frowned.
Xiao Yunyou raised his trembling hand and touched his cheek, which was only covered with a layer of skin.
After a long moment, he shook his head with complicated eyes, raised his head and looked at Lin Yiran pleadingly.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I—I absolutely cannot see my family in this state."
When he was a child, his brothers tricked him into eating coriander. He was bedridden for seven or eight days and lost a lot of weight due to vomiting.
At that time, my mother's eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying.
He is so thin now, my mother would probably feel even more unbearable if she saw him.
It's already unfilial of him to have been away from home for such a long time and made his mother worry. How could he let her see him so sad?
Also---his wife must be heartbroken seeing him like this.
How could he let his daughter Ling Yan see such a shameful side of him?
