Chapter 309 I heard your uncle stole your land
Since reuniting with Tu Yao, even though she allowed them to get close, she never called them "brother".
Today is the first time in four years.
Tu Chaoxi suddenly hesitated to speak.
Tu Yao seemed oblivious to his odd behavior. She turned her head, casually plucked a blade of grass, and continued, "I'll be very busy from now on, and so will you, right?"
“I see that celebrities are always on the go, with endless events every day. You’re so popular, your schedule must be even fuller than theirs.”
"And your band, they can't even organize events without you. Your phone must have been ringing off the hook lately."
"...You even know I have a band." Tu Chaoxi's gaze was inscrutable as he looked at her round head before finally speaking.
"certainly."
“I know you’re the bassist in the band.”
Tu Yao smiled slightly: "Your songs are very good, and you have many representative works."
Four years later, Teacher Tu is no longer a controversial figure with no representative works, and friends who had parted ways have reunited.
Tu Chaoxi casually wiped the corner of her eye: "...Really? What else do you know?"
"And then there's my second brother. He's a musician. He has more free time than you, but he's still very busy, flying all over the place every year."
“Every concert was sold out, and many people gave him flowers.”
Behind the truck, Nan Ke leaned against the truck bed, listening quietly.
"Second brother..."
Lin Yue called him softly, and the words had barely left his lips.
"And the young man..."
Lin Yue opened his mouth, then slowly closed it again, lowered his eyes, and continued to listen.
At the doorway, Tu Yao turned around and stuffed a grasshopper made of straw into Tu Chaoxi's hand.
"The guy doesn't seem busy."
Tu Yao chuckled: "But he's going to be busy now!"
With so many herbs, the shortest growing period is at least three months.
Tu Chaoxi looked at the lifelike grasshopper standing in her palm. It was a beautiful emerald green grasshopper with its wings trembling slightly.
"...Tu Xiaomao, are you saying goodbye to us?"
"It's not a farewell."
Tu Yao tilted her head and said softly, "What I mean is, we should all have our own lives now, brother."
“But…” Tu Chaoxi seemed unable to accept this statement, her tone gradually becoming more intense: “Back then, you left in such a hurry, and there was something we never had a chance to tell you…”
Tu Yao shook her head and interrupted, "I won't say what I didn't have time to say."
Tu Chaoxi was taken aback. "You know what I'm going to say."
Tu Yao said helplessly, "Your faces are all written with 'I'm sorry'."
Tu Chaoxi's eyes flickered.
yes.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for letting you grow up in another world all these years, and I'm sorry for making you bear hatred that you shouldn't have had to bear in the beginning.
I'm sorry for making you worry and afraid to admit your identity.
"...Why won't you let me speak?"
Tu Yao smiled, of course, because there was never any wrongdoing or forgiveness between them.
It's just because everyone is a good person that we always regret not being able to take more responsibility for each other when danger strikes.
She wasn't unaware that their daily presence, just a step away from her, stemmed from the joy of regaining what they had lost, the fear of losing it again, and the guilt they felt for what had happened in the past.
But precisely because she is good, and her brothers are good, no one should be burdened with any more shackles.
Tu Yao shrugged casually: "...I just feel that things are fine now."
"Look ahead, brother."
Tu Chaoxi stared at her without moving, and in a daze, he felt as if he were seeing the original Tu Yao.
There was no confusion as they gradually approached the truth in Yanjing, nor the solitary courage they displayed while carrying all the secrets in Yanjing.
Only in Crane Village could one find such simplicity and carefree spirit.
Miraculously, she calmed his anxious mind.
When the truck stopped moving, Tu Yao peeked out and met Lin Yue's gaze from the other side of the truck.
Lin Yue was taken aback, then quickly pointed to the car: "...It's all loaded."
"The clerk checked it, and there's no problem."
Tu Yao grinned and said, "Thank you, bro!"
Lin Yue's eyes instantly reddened, and he quickly turned his head away. After a few seconds, he said in a muffled voice, "...You're welcome."
Standing next to Lin Yue was Nan Ke, her expression calm, her gaze gentle as she looked at her.
Tu Yao continued laughing, "Second Brother!"
Pointing to his arm: "Your sleeve is wrinkled!"
Nan Ke lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on the wrinkles caused by leaning against the truck.
Seeing that he didn't move, Tu Yao quickly got up and ran over to help him smooth it out.
"It seems there are a few Sichuan lovage plants that you used to plant at the TCM clinic on the truck."
Nan Ke suddenly spoke.
Tu Yao's face lit up with surprise and delight. "You recognized me!"
Nan Ke nodded: "I recognized it."
She not only dug up the Sichuan lovage root from the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, but also the astragalus root from the herb garden.
The humid climate here has allowed so many kinds of herbs to grow in such a unique environment.
"Very impressive."
Tu Yao's voice betrayed her undisguised pride: "Right!"
"But this is really troublesome."
"That's why I sorted these herbs and planned to plant them in suitable places. Now that the guy has helped me with part of it, I'm already halfway relieved."
"We still need to visit some more places."
As she spoke, the sounds of children playing happily from the orphanage came from behind, one after another, louder and louder.
Tu Yao paused for a moment, then continued, "I've already talked to Sister Yunyun and Qin Lang. They'll come and help me take care of the orphanage whenever they have time."
It seems to have been leaning against the truck for too long, as there are two creases that just won't smooth out.
Tu Yao pondered for a moment and then applied a little more force.
The next second.
"...Will it be dangerous?"
A gentle voice suddenly came from above.
Tu Yao's hand, which was pressing on his arm, froze instantly.
I instinctively tilted my head back.
Nan Ke's similar eyebrows curved into a smile as he asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"...It's not dangerous."
Tu Yao also curved her lips into a smile: "I'm doing what I like, and it's not dangerous at all."
As she spoke, she reached into her pocket, took out her phone, and opened the notes app.
Nan Ke looked over and saw that it was full of notes.
Tu Yao whispered, "I have excellent grades. I pay close attention in class every time. I know how to plant almost every herb, just like planting... planting vegetables."
She emphasized earnestly, "It's not dangerous at all!"
Nan Ke gazed at her intently for a long while, then said, "...Okay."
"Then go do it, do what you love."
He paused, then continued, "We're the same."
Let's all move forward.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Chaoxi and Lin Yue both looked up and frowned.
Tu Yao seemed not to have realized that Nan Ke would agree so quickly.
Seeing her half-confused and half-surprised look, Nan Ke grasped her warm wrist, lowered his eyes, and patted away the mud spots on her palm.
He ended up tidying up Tu Yao.
"My eldest brother's phone is really going to be ringing off the hook, and my second brother has already missed a few rehearsals."
During this time, he, Tu Chaoxi, and Lin Yue were all caught up in the joy and fear of reuniting with Tu Yao, without ever considering whether this was what Tu Yao wanted.
They also forgot that Tu Yao initially risked her life to save the three of them from living separate lives.
They did a good job before, and they can't just come back and forget to move forward.
“You’re right, we should get back to our business.”
Tu Yao sniffed and nodded emphatically.
"Um!"
She held up her phone: "If you miss me, you can call me."
Nan Ke smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Nan Ke relented, and Tu Yao subconsciously tilted her head, cautiously staring at the person opposite her, "...Brother."
On the stone steps, Tu Chaoxi remained silent, rubbed her face, and couldn't help but chuckle.
That's terrible. He's truly the luckiest brother in the world, having the most generous and insightful sister.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"……knew."
knew.
His sister's life is no longer tied to them; it's time for them to move on.
After a pause of one second, Tu Chaoxi glanced over and asked, "What if you miss us?"
Tu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Of course I'll call you too!"
Tu Chaoxi suddenly calmed down and generously scoffed, "That's fine too!"
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the room and caught sight of Tu Yao tightly gripping the latest model of mobile phone.
Thinking about where this phone came from, I couldn't catch my breath again.
Tu Yao watched his ever-changing expression and was about to ask a question when she saw him suddenly stand up and say, "Wait."
Then he strode across the street.
He strode back a moment later and handed her a phone whose design alone showed it was outdated.
Tu Yao lowered her head, stunned.
It was a cell phone that Tu Chaoxi gave her in Xianhe Village four years ago.
Four years have passed, and the sign has long been updated, but it has been preserved in excellent condition.
Tu Chaoxi said with a slight displeasure, "You don't have to, just take it!"
It doesn't make sense for him to use someone else's phone but not his, his brother's.
Tu Yao suppressed a laugh: "...Oh."
...
Lin Yue drove himself after four years and arrived at Xianhe Village the next morning.
After Tu Yao received the news, Tu Chaoxi's new schedule for this month was already online.
The entry was filled with cheers from fans.
Half an hour later, the news that Nan Ke had boarded the plane was also sent to her phone.
Tu Yao sat alone under the osmanthus tree, watching Langya excitedly chase after the children.
In the afternoon, she led Wolf Fang to find Xu Bai.
Xu Bai had just finished a nap when he was forced to eat a dog that he didn't want to eat.
He immediately sobered up, hid far away, and looked on warily.
"Big...Big sister?? Why did you give me the wolf fang?"
Tu Yao remained expressionless: "It's like this, the owner of Wolf Fang asked me to send Wolf Fang back. Don't you have a helicopter? I'd like to ask you to take it."
Xu Bai was taken aback: "Huh?"
Is that so?
What's his uncle doing, giving and receiving this dog back and forth?
Never mind, he can't figure it out anyway.
Okay then.
He took the dog leash, and the next second, he heard Tu Yao ask, seemingly casually:
"Xiao Bai, I heard that your uncle took away a piece of land that you really liked, is that true?"
