After confirming that this person was his ninth brother, Mo Xiuyan took a sip of the sweet rice porridge he fed.
The warm rice porridge entered his stomach, and the usually strong man actually shed tears.
The men of the Mo family were all resolute and strong. This was the first time Mo Jiuye saw his brother shed tears, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.
"Fourth brother, everything will be fine. Mom and fourth sister-in-law will be very happy if they know that you are still alive."
Mo Xiuyan showed a wry smile: "Now I am a useless person, and I will be a burden to my family when I go back. It would be better to die early."
"Fourth brother, you must not have such thoughts. If you believe Ran Ran, she will definitely cure you." Mo Jiuye did not allow fourth brother to have such thoughts of self-destruction.
Mo Xiuyan knew that Ninth Brother looked at him and felt distressed, so he tried his best to smile: "Okay, I will listen to Ninth Brother."
No matter what, it would be good to see your family even before you die.
It's a pity that he can no longer fulfill his filial piety at his mother's bedside and accompany his young wife.
Mo Xiuyan was just thinking about these things in his mind. He couldn't let his decadent thoughts affect his ninth brother's mood.
Mo Jiuye held back her tears and fed her fourth brother a bowl of rice porridge one bite at a time.
At this time, Shunzi also came back to purchase items.
This guy is quite sensible. In addition to a big iron pot, what he bought back also had some grains and vegetables.
Anyway, it was just for the sake of paying Shunzi. It didn't matter what he bought.
Shunzi put the things away and came to Mo Xiuyan's room, gesturing that she would take care of him.
Mo Jiuye hadn't asked what happened to his fourth brother at this time, and had no intention of leaving, so he sent Shunzi out first.
Shunzi left sensibly, and Mo Jiuye sat beside Mo Xiuyan's bed.
"Fourth brother, what exactly has happened to you these years?"
When asked about his experiences over the years, Mo Xiuyan couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.
Now he still doesn't know that the Mo family has been confiscated and exiled by Emperor Shunwu's decree. He thinks that Mo Jiuye came here to perform some mission at the border and accidentally discovered his whereabouts.
"With such a prince in the Dashun Dynasty, it is difficult to protect the country..."
Mo Jiuye felt mixed feelings in his heart when he saw that his fourth brother was in this state and he still cared about Dashun.
"Fourth brother, our Mo family has now been ordered by Emperor Wu to confiscate our homes and exile us to the northwest."
When Mo Xiuyan heard this, his eyes widened, looking incredulous.
"What did you say? My Mo family was confiscated and exiled? Why is this?"
If it were the past, Mo Jiuye would not be able to accept this fact.
Now, under the influence of his wife, he has completely looked away.
Especially after finding several brothers one after another, he felt that no matter how high-ranking he was, he could not be as real as a family living together in peace.
"Fourth brother, I will tell you slowly about this later. In short, our family is living very well in the northwest, and my mother is in good health.
I want to know now, what has happened to you these years? "
Mo Xiuyan tried hard to digest the current situation at home before speaking slowly.
"Back then, Nan Heng followed me to guard Southern Xinjiang. Our army won a great victory in a battle, but he refused to listen and insisted on chasing the soldiers in Southern Xinjiang. Seeing that my dissuasion was ineffective, and worried that he would be in danger, I led a team to support him. .
Nan Heng had already entered the trap set by the southern Xinjiang people. The soldiers and I tried our best to save him from escaping. Later, I desperately fled the scene and accidentally ran into a cliff.
There were many enemies at that time, and I was seriously injured. I could not be their opponent. In order not to become a prisoner, I chose to jump off the cliff.
I jumped off a cliff and broke my legs. I couldn't leave from there. I just hoped that Nan Heng would send someone to find me quickly. However, before the soldiers who came to Dashun to look for me, I was eventually found and taken back by soldiers from southern Xinjiang.
At that time, I knew in my heart that I was destined to die.
Unexpectedly, I had just been carried out of the abyss by those people and was drugged into unconsciousness again. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a cave. "
Hearing this, Mo Jiuye couldn't help but ask, "Is someone trying to poison you?"
Mo Xiuyan nodded: "Indeed, I accidentally heard their conversation.
They said that my legs are now crippled and cannot be cured at all. Even if they poison me, they will have no use value. It is better to send me to Zhuangzi for detention. It may come in handy when necessary.
Just like that, not long after, those people cut off my hand tendons, covered my head with a black cloth, and sent me to the place where you found me.
That place never sees the light of day, and I don’t know how long I have been lying there. "
After listening to Fourth Brother's story, Mo Jiuye punched the only wooden table in the room.
The wooden table shattered with the sound, and the broken wood instantly bounced around the room.
It shows how angry he is to use such force.
"Fourth brother, don't worry. I, Mo Jiuye, will definitely find the person who persecuted our Mo family men in my lifetime, and cut him into eight pieces and quarter him..."
He Zhiran stepped forward and caressed his chest: "It's a good thing to find Fourth Brother now, don't get angry because of that evil person."
Mo Jiuye's body was still trembling a little. He held He Zhiran's little hand and said solemnly, "I know."
Mo Xiuyan said so many words at once, he felt a little exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
Mo Jiuye looked at the sky and saw that it was still some time before dark, so he called Shunzi to take care of his fourth brother. He and He Zhiran temporarily entered the space to rest for a while.
After all, they hadn't slept much for almost two days. He himself was strong, but Mo Jiuye was worried that his wife's body wouldn't be able to bear it.
He Zhiran was indeed a little tired. If it weren't for the support of so many things that kept her conscious from relaxing, she would have gone to see Duke Zhou long ago.
Now that she could finally have some free time, she had to recuperate enough to avoid getting sleepy when moving at night.
Ever since he found Mo Xiuyan, Mo Jiuye's spirit had been in a state of tension. Now he suddenly relaxed, and he still didn't feel sleepy at all.
But he knew in his heart that he didn't know what he would encounter tonight, and he had to force himself to keep his spirits up.
He hugged He Zhiran and lay on the comfortable big bed, closing his eyes to rest.
It wasn't until it got dark outside that Mo Jiuye had to wake up his sleeping little wife.
He Zhiran stretched out sleepily and murmured: "What time is it?"
Mo Jiuye replied softly: "It's almost Xu time."
"Ah? It's already this time, why didn't you wake me up earlier? Fourth brother still needs to take medicine, and his meals can't be too casual."
While talking, He Zhiran had jumped out of bed neatly, and first went to the kitchen to cook some porridge. She and Mo Jiuye ate some briefly before leaving the space together.
Mo Xiuyan was awake at the moment. He knew that Ninth Brother and Ninth Brother and Sister might be very hard these days, so he didn't let Shunzi disturb them.
