Painting Tang

Mu Jingchen: My brother-in-law, what should I do if I don't want to be a human being? Wait online, I can't hold my fist anymore.

"Haven't you always lived in Yulin? There is Mu's army guarding here. How could you be taken away by bandits?"

Zou Weiyi used to think that Yu Mian was unpredictable, but now his appearance is even more chilling.what did he say?Said that Yu Tang owed him all this?Regardless of Yu Tang's character, if the two brothers were really captured by the bandits on the mountain, how could Yu Tang come back unscathed...?

"Brother Zou, do you want to ask, if we really fall into the hands of bandits, how can we come back alive?"

Yu Mian stirred the dark red spices on the plate with a fork, and said calmly,

"No, it should be said that I have given half my life there. Only my brother, he is so 'smart', so decisive, only he can escape from the bandits safely."

"When did you encounter this kind of thing? Why haven't I heard Yutang mention it?"

"Because Brother Zou, you are an outsider,"

Yu Mian laughed greasy, the sweetness of spices was involved in her tone,

"This is a secret between me and my brother. Of course he won't tell you. But because of brother Zou taking me to such a big meal, I don't mind telling you in secret."

"No, no, if it's your brother's secret, I don't intend to offend Chao Yu..."

Zou Weiyi is not good at dealing with Yu Mian.

Although he could already feel that there was a secret gap between the Yu family brothers and others, Yu Mian's actions would always make people shudder.If Yutang is the dense foliage that hides a certain secret, then Yumian Wuwu is the venomous barb on the vine.

"I confessed on my own initiative, so you don't have to worry about it. And since my brother has done these things, he should have thought about taking corresponding responsibilities."

Yu Mian is best at using a child-like innocent smile to utter some cobweb-like words that make people unable to breathe.

His elder brother wanted to escape from him and go to other people, he couldn't stop him, but at least he wanted to let Yu Tang know that not everyone can tolerate Yu Tang's dirty things like his younger brother past.

"Xiao Mian, otherwise we should hurry back."

Zou Weiyi didn't care to listen to the story that Yu Mian was about to tell, he just stood up to get his coat, when he saw Yu Mian sitting on the spot, deftly turning the silver knife, and unceremoniously drew a bloody gash on his finger.

"You, what are you doing?!"

"My brother asked you to take good care of me, and now I want you to sit down and let me finish my story,"

Yu Mian stood up her injured fingertips,

"Brother Zou stands up again, and I will swipe and pull again. I don't know how my brother will feel distressed when he sees these wounds? You also know that he has never trusted you noble children."

"……I see."

Zou Weiyi sighed and sat down obediently.

"When I was young, I can't remember how old I was, because the serious illness that came later almost burned my brains. Our whole family, including my parents who were still alive at that time, traveled south with the caravan. It was very lucky. Suddenly, I ran into bandits who came to rob money."

Yu Mian watched Zou Weiyi take his seat, and satisfactorily began to weave his truth.

"The bodyguards who accompanied me only cared about the money, and didn't care about the safety of our family. I just remember the chaos of horses and gunshots. When I realized it, only my brother was left by my side."

Yu Mian lowered her eyes slightly, starting from the bad guy Zou Weiyi, he wanted to drive away all these so-called friends around Yu Tang, and let Yu Tang understand that Yu Mian is the only person who can depend on each other after going around.

"Could it be that your parents..."

Zou Weiyi was inevitably brought into his emotions by Yu Mian, if he wanted to blame, he could only blame his face for following Yu Tang a little bit, it was natural for people to be prone to unreasonable pity and trust.

"A group of more than 20 people, in the end only my brother and I survived."

Yu Mian gave a wry smile, pretending to be sad.

Of course, there was no caravan at all, and no trips to the south. Their Yu family was originally a wealthy and wealthy family in the south, but it was true that more than 20 people in Yu's house died, leaving only him and Yu Tang.

"The two of us hid in the woods all night, but at dawn, the vicious dogs raised by the bandits grabbed the trousers and dragged them to the bandit leader. Originally, ordinary bandits only had two bullets. If you are kind, maybe you can turn the two of us into little bandits, but guess what happened?"

"……what?"

"The bandit leader was cruel by nature, and said that he would throw my brother and me into the pasture where he kept the mastiffs and kill me the next day." "Wait a minute, wait a moment, why wait until the next day?"

Zou Weiyi tried his best to find flaws in Yu Mian's description. He didn't want to believe that such a nightmare-like cruel story would happen around him—there were already disasters outside the city, but the city was still full of drunkenness, and the sound of wine glasses colliding was enough to shake the city. The wailing of civilians who were bloody killed outside was drowned out.

If it weren't for the fact that Mu's father and son had repeatedly asked the Ministry of Political Affairs to take the initiative to go into battle, Yulin might have already become a new village for bandits.

"The only way to escape quickly is to eat and drink enough, otherwise you will be killed by dogs as soon as you come up, what else is there to see?"

"This……"

Zou Weiyi was speechless. He had heard from Mu Jingchen that the mastiffs raised by the bandits could not be called dogs at all, but were more ferocious and savage beasts than wolves. Jackals are still fierce.

"If it weren't for this extra night of waiting, it is not certain who will survive safely."

Yu Mian said in a low voice, but unfortunately Zou Weiyi didn't hear clearly.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, now you must be wondering how my brother and I survived together. I don't know whose fate is better. The second leader of the gang of bandits believes in Jesus. He couldn't bear to kill children. He called people to the prison where we were locked up in the middle of the night. There is a word in the place.”

"What?"

"I didn't hear it,"

Yu Mian habitually curled his shoulders to avoid the sun, making him look helpless and pitiful, as if he was still the child who was hiding in a corner waiting to die many years ago,

"My brother was near the window, so only my brother heard it. He just told me that there is a way to survive."

Zou Weiyi didn't interrupt anymore. Like most of the children who grew up in the greenhouses in Yulin City, the biggest hardship he encountered since he was a child was studying and taking exams. If he was whipped, he would be so delicate that he would be in pain for several days. For Yu Mian's description He couldn't imagine those scenes at all.

"Brother told me to listen to his signal tomorrow, just try to run forward. The person who told the story said that they didn't plan to let us be killed at all. They just wanted to test how our legs and feet are. Whether we are brave or not, because Previously, children who were too scared to run were killed, but those with blood were adopted."

"So you were saved from being killed by dogs?"

"Yes, those dogs are just threatening us from the beginning to the end. But what the so-called masters look at is not whether they have courage at all, but whether they have enough loyalty."

"……What's the meaning?"

"It means that he despises the man who left his brother and ran away."

Yu Mian inevitably exerted force on her hands, the knife and fork rubbing against the smooth porcelain plate made a sharp buzzing sound,

"I was the only one who tried to escape, and my brother didn't move at all. But because of the so-called 'betrayal', I was shot in the leg, and I was stuffed into a well and soaked in water. They wanted to freeze me to death."

"But you survived?"

"Yes, because the invincible Mu family army has arrived."

Yu Mian sneered, to hide the disgust in her stomach when she went against her original intention and used the commendatory word "invincible" to describe Mu Jiajun,

"That's why I want to ask brother Zou if he knows anyone from the Mu family. They are my saviors. I always wanted to express my gratitude."

"Xiao Mian... this story is too bizarre, and you also said that you were still young at that time, I think you may have misremembered, we all have seen how Yu Tang treats you, he will not be the kind who let you live in order to survive. Dead people..."

"I know,"

Yu Mian unfolded the napkin folded into the shape of a dove under the dinner plate, as if dissecting a white bird, "I never resented my brother, but rather, I really like my brother who can be ruthless."

"I didn't mean that, you..."

"Brother should be home soon, brother Zou, please send me back too."

Yu Mian didn't give Zou Weiyi a chance to ask too many questions, he brought his own hat and pulled up his collar, got up and walked out of the restaurant.

Zou Weiyi paid the money in embarrassment, and chased after him helplessly, for fear that the little ancestor would get lost on a whim.

Along the way, he seemed to ask Yu Mian a lot of things unintentionally. It is undeniable that the details Yu Mian told are completely reasonable, and even so true that people have to believe that he has indeed had such an experience.

Because this incident did happen, but it was not on the way to travel south, but their Yu family was trampled by Mu's army, and the two brothers were on their way to escape.

It was not Mu Jiajun who rescued him from the well, but Yu Tang.

In desperation, Yu Tang set fire to the entire cottage, took advantage of the chaos and fled for a day and a night with Yu Mian on his back. If they were a little less lucky, they would undoubtedly both be captured and tortured to death in the bandit's den.

"That's right, Brother Zou remembers to introduce the nobles of the Mu family for me. I really want to thank them."

Zou Weiyi's car drove to the entrance of the alley, Yu Mian didn't ask him to deliver more, but reminded Zou Weiyi when he got off the car.

"There will be a chance in the future, our family is not familiar with the family of generals."

Zou Weiyi prevaricated.

He may have partial faith in Yu Mian's experience, but his intuition drives him to prevent Yu Mian from meeting Mu Jingchen.

The tires left mottled marks on the alleyway that was soaked in several layers of grease stains. Not long ago, a brand new track extended to the door of Yutang's bungalow.

That was the trace of Mu Jingchen sending Yutang home.

Yu Tang in the old house tidied Yu Mian's bed alone in the future, just as he kept silent about the truth.

For example, in the middle of the night that night, the messenger told him that the head of the family just wanted to see the brothers fight, as long as one was killed, the other could live alone.

He conveyed it to Yu Mian word by word, and then gave Yu Mian the right to choose to live.

It was Yu Mian who chose to escape, which represented "live".

At that time, although Yu Tang was also afraid of death, the benevolence, fearlessness and responsibility of a brother taught by his father since childhood forced him to become brave overnight, and resolutely chose to die in silence the next day.

The only thing to blame is the uncertainty of being the head of the family, or Yu Tang, who stands still and gives the hope of living to his younger brother, looks too dusty, making people unbearable to be trampled on.Uncharacteristically, the head of the family did not allow anyone to let go of the dog leash, but shot at Yu Mian who had abandoned his brother.

This unexpected shot made Yu Tang feel guilty towards Yu Mian all the time, but he never thought that this love for his younger brother would be distorted into a cage that Yu Mian used to take him as his own, which would make Yu Mian feel guilty. Mian's almost morbid speculation about him became so reasonable.

The sound of keys hitting the door lock came from outside the house, Yu Tang looked up, and saw Yu Mian sticking out her small head like a harmless little rabbit:

"Brother, I miss you so much."
