The return of petitions

Depart from Changfu early the next morning.

Meng Yao left two disciples to cooperate with the local officials in Liyang to handle the affairs of the Changfu safely, and the rest of the disciples took turns to guard Xue Yang along the way.

Among them, only Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan who had confronted Xue Yang head-to-head, during the three-month inter-provincial arrest, had seen Xue Yang captured several times, but were designed to escape by him, so no one was better than Xiao Xingchen. Xingchen knew that Xue Yanggui had many ideas and was cunning.Xiao Xingchen walked behind Xue Yang on this journey to the unclean world, keeping an eye on his movements to prevent him from escaping again.

There was another person walking behind Xue Yang—Wei Wuxian, who was not too far away, had a relaxed expression on his face, but never took his eyes off the black-clothed boy in front of him.

Xue Yang's hands were tightly bound, and a slightly thicker rope went from his wrists up to around his neck, and then wrapped around his waist twice before reaching his ankles, leaving only room for those who could walk half a step. gap.

The mountain road was not easy to walk, and the ropes were tightly tied to the hands and feet. Xue Yang staggered a few steps away, but the people who followed closely around saw him, pushed him on the back, and shouted: "Walk well. , don't try to play tricks!"

Xue Yang was pushed forward and almost fell to the ground. When he got up, a savage smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he glanced at the person who pushed him, only to see that the disciple was terrified, and raised his voice and shouted: "What are you looking at?" Look, didn't you hear me telling you to walk well?"

Wei Wuxian took a few steps forward to take the rope from the disciple and said, "This mountain road is not easy to walk, everyone should take turns to come here! You have worked hard too, let me watch him from now on."

The disciple was about to take a rest, so he hurriedly handed the rope to Wei Wuxian and retreated to the side.

Xue Yang glanced at the person beside him, and said with a sneer, "You still don't give up? I told you that I don't have a Yin iron on my body. No matter what you say, it's useless. I can't change it for you."

"Who said I came here to ask you about Yin Tie?" Wei WuXian shook the rope attached to Xue Yang's wrist: "Can't I just chat with you?"

Xue Yang said casually, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?" with an expression of disbelief.

Wei Wuxian asked casually, "I heard that you are a famous bully in Kuizhou, so you are from Kuizhou?"

Xue Yang thought he was going to ask something, but after a long time it turned out to be such a silly opening remark, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said indifferently: "It's not time for interrogation yet, friend immortal, what are you doing here?" Interrogate me for Nie Mingjue?"

"It's a good chat, isn't it just to ask what comes to mind." Wei Wuxian knew that the question just asked was actually not very clever-who knows Xue Yang's reputation as the king of Kuizhou now?Such an opening is indeed a bit boring, but it is also in his favor.He didn't want to ask the depths of his soul when he came up, and he was so frightened that this little slippery man became vigilant, and it would only be more difficult to ask something in the future.

"You little rascal, are you still afraid that others will know where you are from?" Wei Wuxian changed the subject without a trace: "Since you are all a bully, you probably fight with people a lot, right? I saw you by accident yesterday. You have a wound on your chest, which is also left from a fight?"

Perhaps this journey was really boring, and it was rare for someone to talk to him to pass the time. Xue Yang would answer him this time: "I don't remember."

But there is no difference between answering and not answering.

"What kind of answer is that?" Wei Wuxian frowned.This stinky boy, how come he has become inattentive now, and he can't make out a word. He remembered that this guy was very cute when he was a child.

"If you don't remember, you don't remember." Xue Yang tilted his head to look at him, and his smile was uncharacteristically innocent: "Xianyou, you seem to be very interested in my affairs? Why, I look like your old friend? Or the brother who has been lost for many years? But well, I have no memory of before the age of seven. I really can’t guarantee if it’s your brother. Why don’t you go home and ask your father if he left an illegitimate child or something? Maybe I really am.”

Hearing his words, Wei Wuxian was rude and ugly, and without a word, he pressed his elbow hard on Xue Yang's abdomen, which only made him grunt, but his thoughts were attracted by the phrase "the memory of before the age of seven is gone".

How come he also forgot what happened before the age of seven?

Xue Yang was less than five years old when Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang separated. At that time, he waited in the ruined temple for four days before Xue Yang came. Jiang Fengmian was in a hurry and couldn't wait any longer, so he took Wei Wuxian away temporarily. .

Afterwards, he also went back to look for him once but failed to find anyone. When he returned to Lianhuawu, he fell seriously ill and lay in bed for more than a month. When he woke up, he forgot about this memory with Xue Yang.

Now Xue Yang also forgot what happened before the age of seven, so what happened in the two years after he separated from himself?

"Why, did you become angry from embarrassment at what I said?" Xue Yang said with a smile: "I said that all of you decent families are very hypocritical. The honest gentlemen who pretend to be gentlemen on the surface think the same as robbers and hooligans in their hearts, and they can't fool me. If so, are you unhappy?"

"You can do it," Wei Wuxian said helplessly, "You can't save yourself when you open your mouth? Let me ask you, why did you kill the Chang family?"

"It's not pleasing to the eye, so if you want to kill it, kill it." Xue Yang looked up at the sky, with an attitude of "I just don't talk well and you can do nothing to me", which really brought the shameless and scoundrel of the hooligan to the extreme.

Wei Wuxian curled his lips into a sneer, and suddenly asked, "Then what happened to your left hand?"

Xue Yang's face froze immediately, and a cold murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. He turned his head to look at the person beside him, and said every word extremely coldly: "My dear friend, you ask too many questions."

Wei Wuxian also knew that he and Xue Yang were just strangers now, and it would be rude and impolite to ask others about their pain rashly, but Wei Wuxian was surprised by Xue Yang's strong guard and resistance.

Near noon, everyone looked for a cool place to rest.

Everyone took out dry food to eat, and no one paid any attention to Xue Yang who was tied under the big tree.

Wei Wuxian tore half of the pancake in his hand, walked up to Xue Yang and knelt down, handed it to him and said, "Are you hungry, eat some padding first."

Xue Yang took the cake with some difficulty with his bound hands, but there was a disdainful smile on his face, and he snorted, "Tsk, you are quite hypocritical, why, you are afraid that I will be hungry. Die halfway and not reach the unclean world?"

"I'm afraid you won't die from starvation." Wei Wuxian shook his head angrily, and ate half of the pancake when he saw him take a few bites, worrying that he was still young and still growing up, so he didn't have enough to eat, so he ate the remaining half of the pancake in the cloth bag Zhang also handed it to him: "Do you want more?"

Xue Yang was not polite to him, and ate it as soon as he took it, mocking Wei Wuxian's hypocrisy while eating.

Xue Yang ate food very quickly, although he was not a wolf, but he had nothing to do with Wenya.Wei WuXian saw that he was busy taking another bite before he swallowed it. He was really afraid that he would choke, so he took the water bag and handed it to him, "Eat slowly, no one will grab you."

"Hmph, what do you know?" Xue Yang swallowed all the food piled up in his throat with a sip of water, and said, "Only when food goes into his mouth and falls into his stomach, is it considered his own."

It seemed that he had only spoken half of what he said, but Wei Wuxian understood his meaning in an instant. He felt a dull pain in his heart, and all the guilt, self-blame, heartache and pity he had suppressed deep in his heart surged out in an instant. Coming up, the scorching air flowed back from the heart to the eye sockets, only to make his eyes feel slightly hot.

In the past when he was here, even though life was hard with Xue Yang, at least they could be companions and rely on each other.Later he left, leaving only Xue Yang, who was only four years old, a child as big as a pea ding. He had to suffer so much to develop the habit of not feeling safe until he ate something in his stomach.

Wei Wuxian's eyes fell on Xue Yang's left hand with the fake finger. The pain seemed to be erupting from lava, cooking his heart back and forth. He really wanted to reach out to touch Xue Yang's head and say, "Your baby is back", but In the end, he just resisted the warmth in his eyes and stood up.

Xue Yang looked at him inexplicably: "What medicine did you take wrong?"

However, Wei Wuxian could no longer say anything to Xue Yang, he was afraid that if he continued to chat, the churning emotions in his heart would be uncontrollable and pour out.

Wei Wuxian turned around and quickly walked in the opposite direction, and only stopped when he was several feet away from Xue Yang, holding on to the tree trunk to breathe slightly, trying his best to calm down the pain in his heart.

Seeing that Wei WuXian handed Xue Yang dry food, exchanged a few words and left quickly, and was still standing under the tree with a rather downcast expression, Nie HuaiSang only thought that he was hurt by Xue Yang's sarcasm, so he hurried forward and said with concern: "Wei WuXian Brother, are you alright? Xue Yang’s mouth is indeed powerful, I’ve already learned it. Don’t pay too much attention to what he says, this kind of person, you just listen to what he says, don’t take it to heart.”

Wei WuXian took a deep breath to calm himself down, and when he turned around, there was no abnormal expression on his face, but a slight smile on his face: "I'm fine, it's just... I just suffered from heart palpitations, an old problem, follow me Xue Yang has nothing to do with it."

Nie HuaiSang looked at Wei WuXian carefully, and saw that there was nothing wrong except for the red eyes, so he was relieved: "It's fine, it's fine. I'm afraid you might accidentally fall for that Xue Yang." After a pause, he muttered softly, "Although he can't do much now with all his hands. By the way, brother Wei," he suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously, "I think you seem a little... unusual to this Xue Yang, What, you know him?"

In fact, he wanted to say "seems to be a little concerned", but he felt that the words were not appropriate, so he changed his words temporarily.

"Is there?" Wei Wuxian rubbed his chin.

"Of course." Nie Huaisang tapped Wei Wuxian's arm with a fan in his hand, leaned closer, and whispered, "I can see clearly. Brother Wei, you have never left Xue Yang's eyes this way. .Speaking of which, do you really know each other? How do you think his attitude towards you is not like knowing each other?"

Wei Wuxian couldn't help laughing out loud, grabbed Nie Huaisang's shoulders and pulled him closer, said in a low voice, "Hush! You found out, so I won't hide it from you." Seeing a bit of light to explore the secret, he said with a smile: "I'm only telling you about this, you have to keep the secret for me."

"Definitely," Nie Huaisang nodded hastily, "Brother Wei, please tell me, I will keep my mouth shut!"

"Actually," Wei Wuxian couldn't help laughing, half-truthfully said: "Xue Yang is my long-lost brother. He was still too young when we were separated, and his temperament changed drastically after he suffered a crime and lost his memory, so he couldn't recognize me."

"Ah?!" Nie HuaiSang was stunned, the news didn't have the thunderous effect he had imagined, but immediately suspected that Wei WuXian was lying to him: "Really? Are you lying to me? Xue Yang is your long-lost brother? Are you brothers?"

"Exactly." Wei WuXian smiled sincerely, "I only told you as a friend, but please don't say it out there!" After speaking, he patted his shoulder, turned and walked away.

"Huh?" Nie HuaiSang was still in a daze for a while, unable to recover.

One surnamed Wei and the other surnamed Xue, how could they be brothers?Brother Wei must be making fun of him again.
