"I won't sleep with you tonight. I'm going to get close to my brother."
Under Xia He's resentful eyes, Zhang Chuyi left the room and came to Zhang Chulan's room next door.
Zhang Chulan has just finished chatting with Xu Xiang and Feng Baobao about what happened that year. Although he has a strong receptive ability, the amount of information is indeed large, so he is still digesting it.
Seeing his eldest brother entering the room, Zhang Chulan's eyes showed no surprise.
"Aren't you asleep yet?" Zhang Chuyi chuckled, looking for something to say.
Even if he was asleep, if he came in and asked such a question, he would probably be awake.
"Usually, I almost start dreaming at this time." Zhang Chulan looked at his phone and found that it was already a little earlier. He replied with a wry smile: "But I know too many things today, my mind is a little confused, and I can't sleep at all."
"It's normal. I didn't sleep all night after I first learned about those secrets from Mr. Xu." Zhang Chuyi sat down next to his brother, and his tone became a little deeper: "How are you? Do you feel any pressure?"
Zhang Chulan's eyes changed and she asked tentatively: "You mean...Sister Bao'er?"
Zhang Chuyi nodded: "Feng Baobao - Jiashen Rebellion - Eight Wonders, these things are connected together. If you want to find out her life experience, you must find out the truth about Jiashen Rebellion. Even understanding where the Eight Wonders come from.
Just as the heirs of the Eight Wonders, we have been forced to live in anonymity for so many years. Now we want to trace the truth back then. I believe you are aware of the dangers in this even if I don't tell you. "
"I understand." Zhang Chulan took off the hairband, spread her tied hair over her shoulders, and said softly: "Even if I don't do anything, won't trouble come to me on its own? So I have been mentally prepared for a long time. .”
"It's a good thing to be mentally prepared, but there's no need to be so pessimistic." Zhang Chuyi patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "At least the depth of your love is unknown to outsiders. This is your biggest advantage.
Sister Bao'er gave you a technique, right? Don't worry about whether it is the source of Qi Ti. Just practice with her with full effort. If she is ready to fight with you, don't refuse. These are what you want. To gain a foothold in the alien world, one must go through the training. "
"I will definitely practice hard." Zhang Chulan quickly agreed, then hesitated for a few seconds and asked: "Brother, I want to know, why don't you want to do old farming skills?
Before grandpa left, he didn't tell us anything related to the origin of Qi Ti.
And this is the only inheritance left by grandpa to us. I don’t believe you can’t guess that this old farmer has a high probability of being the source of Qi Ti.
Or are you saying that you have already learned the origin of Qi Ti from our father? "
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Zhang Chuyi leaned on the bed and asked with a half-smile.
Zhang Chulan's expression was serious: "I want to hear whether it's true or false."
"The lie is that I want to leave good things to my brother." After Zhang Chuyi finished speaking, he glanced at his brother. The latter had no expression and just looked at him quietly.
After a pause, Zhang Chuyi continued: "As for the truth, I leave the good things to my brother, and the main responsibility of accompanying Feng Baobao to find his life experience is also left to my brother."
"Is there... any difference?" Zhang Chulan's expression became confused.
"The difference is huge." Zhang Chuyi raised two fingers in front of his brother, "You have taken on the main task of helping Sister Bao'er, so that you can not only gain the skills of an old farmer, but also keep her by your side.
Sister Baoer is very strong, so for you, this is a double insurance. "
"It shouldn't matter if you say this directly. Why do you have to distinguish between true and false?" Zhang Chulan frowned, still a little confused.
"Because if these words are stated clearly, it will hurt feelings." Zhang Chuyi sighed and put his hands in his pockets, "Actually, you help Sister Baoer investigate your life experience, and she protects you. This is something we both know well. .
But if it is pointed out directly, the relationship becomes a transaction.
What I hope is that you can get along with her as a relative. "
"Relatives?" Zhang Chulan asked with a stunned expression.
"I wonder if you have ever thought about such a problem." Zhang Chuyi looked at the ceiling and said quietly: "If I have not been able to escape the pursuit of my enemies these years and was killed by those people, what else do you have?
My grandfather has passed away and my parents have disappeared for several years. Even I don’t know whether they are dead or alive.
If I were gone, would you still have relatives in this world who would go through fire and water for you? "
Zhang Chulan felt as if he was struck by thunder when he heard this.
Although he has been living alone for these years, he lives like an orphan.
But he knew in his heart that he actually still had relatives.
It is precisely for this reason that his inner world has never collapsed, because his relatives are his pillar of support, even if he has not seen these relatives for a long, long time.
"Sister Bao'er, she will go through fire and water for you." Zhang Chuyi looked into his brother's eyes and said with great certainty: "She has watched you grow up. In her eyes, you are the only clue for her to find her life experience." .
So no matter what happens to you, she will save you at all costs.
But if you take this kind of thing as a natural reward and treat her as a tool, it would be too unfair to her.
After all, in my opinion, you and her are actually more like relatives. From elementary school to high school, she has been with you all the time, but you didn't realize it.
For Bao'er, you have actually become her family, but she does not have the concept of family in her heart, so she may do some things that make you feel incredible. You have to endure this by yourself. "
"So... is this true?" Zhang Chulan lowered his head and murmured.
If his eldest brother hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that Sister Baoer had such a connection with him.
"Anyway, if you want to live comfortably, working hard to become stronger is the top priority. The old farmer function can help you, and so can Sister Baoer."
Zhang Chuyi adjusted his lying position and then said: "You have been hiding for nine years and acting for nine years. If you are willing to continue hiding, I will not interfere.
If one day you feel that you can't continue acting, you don't have to act. You can go as crazy as you want, and you can scold whoever you want.
If someone glares at you, just slap him.
If someone destroys your residence, you go directly to his door and burn his manor.
If someone threatens you, just kidnap his wife and children!
If you have had enough of living like a thief, then we will become evil people, and be even more evil than those evil people!
It doesn’t matter if you can’t do it yourself, there are me, your sister Bao’er, the brothers and sisters we had dinner with just now, and the third brother and fourth brother, Mr. Xu.
We are all your supporters! "
Listening to his eldest brother's passionate declaration-like words, Zhang Chulan felt a sense of security for the first time in a long time.
This feeling only appeared when I saw my grandfather.
Although grandpa is not tall, as long as he is around, Zhang Chulan feels that no one in the world can hurt him. No matter what trouble he encounters, grandpa will protect him as soon as possible and help him solve the problem.
But since grandpa passed away, this sense of security has disappeared.
Because he knows that the person who can protect him from wind and rain is no longer there. No matter what happens in the future, the only one he can rely on is himself.
But he doesn't have the ability to fight off all bad guys like his grandfather.
So he learned to act and act like a weirdo who didn't fit in so everyone would stay away from him.
Act as an inconspicuous weakling, and everyone will ignore him.
By not attracting attention, the possibility of encountering danger is reduced.
After acting for so many years, Zhang Chulan himself has forgotten whether he is a coward for acting or is just a natural timid person.
But after meeting her eldest brother again, Zhang Chulan felt that she vaguely saw the shadow of her grandfather in her eldest brother.
That long-lost sense of security gradually made him let go of all his psychological defenses.
"In short, you don't have to live so cowardly and cautiously like before.
You don’t have to feel envious of your classmates’ food and clothing. Just tell your elder brother and he will get them for you. "Zhang Chuyi smiled more and more wildly, as if someone had promised him such a happy life.
But then Zhang Chulan suddenly woke up.
He has an elder brother, sister Baoer, and an old farmer.
So what does big brother have?
What kind of life did he live before meeting Sister Baoer?
I heard from Mr. Xu Xiang that after his grandfather left, he made two arrangements.
He is on the dark side, and the eldest brother is on the bright side.
He had been hiding for nine years. Was that eldest brother being stared at or even hunted by those people for nine years?
Mr. Xu Xiang told him that before his death, his grandfather traveled through most of China and killed more than a dozen famous masters from various sects along the way.
Have the disciples and grandsons of these people ever gone to their elder brother to settle accounts over the years?
The more Zhang Chulan thought about it, the more panicked she became.
It is obvious that the eldest brother has lived a more miserable and difficult life in recent years, but when facing himself, he did not mention a word.
The eldest brother has given him so many backers, so who is the eldest brother's own backer?
Looking at his elder brother's hearty smile without any hint of darkness, Zhang Chulan's throat was filled with thousands of words, but the emotion as heavy as a mountain only turned into an extremely moving thank you when he reached his lips:
"Brother, thank you very, very much."
Zhang Chuyi looked at his brother and was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and knocked on his forehead: "Are you interested in studying and studying? When I was a kid, I risked my butt breaking into eight pieces by going up the tree to dig out a bird's nest for you. I didn't listen to you, kid. Say thank you and now you are being polite to me?"
"I...I just don't know what to say." Zhang Chulan grinned and covered his forehead, thinking that his eldest brother's hand strength was outrageous.
"Do you know what the word brother means?" Zhang Chuyi looked at his brother and said with a smile: "We can become brothers because you saw that I would be prosperous in the future when you were reincarnated, so you became my brother. .
It’s not like I crossed the Naihe Bridge and saw that your boy will definitely be a great one among men in the future, so I immediately came to join you.
Those born to one mother and raised by one father are called brothers.
I am good to you, not because I want to gain any benefit or gratitude from you, but because you and I have the same blood and are in the same situation.
You can hurt what I hurt, and I can like what you like. This is what we call brothers. Do you understand? "
"Brother, I understand." Zhang Chulan nodded heavily.
"So don't always put such solemn and polite words on your lips in the future. Zhang Chuyi smiled and said, "Besides, true gratitude is not something you say, it's something you do, you know? "
After a pause for a few seconds, Zhang Chuyi continued: "There is something else I forgot to tell you. The master has actually known about you for a long time, and even said that he would take you to meet him when he is free.
But I can't leave these days, so I can only make a video call to see if it's tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. "
"Master? Which master?" Zhang Chulan didn't hear anything about Longhu Mountain from Mr. Xu, so he didn't know about Zhang Zhiwei's existence.
Mr. Xu, on the other hand, may have thought that Zhang Chuyi would be able to explain this matter more clearly.
"When our grandpa was young, he was a disciple of Longhu Mountain, and the current Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is grandpa's senior brother, which is also our senior master."
When Zhang Chuyi mentioned this old man, his tone was filled with admiration: "In the alien world, his cultivation is undoubtedly the best in the world.
If we encounter any trouble in the future, the company and his old man will be our two biggest backers! "
"I'll go!" Zhang Chulan's eyes suddenly filled with stars, "Then I should be allowed to recognize Master as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry." Zhang Chuyi said with a smile, "If he has no other schedule, I should be able to see him tomorrow.
Okay, it’s getting late, it’s time to go to bed, we brothers haven’t slept together for many years, tonight..."
"Brother, is it really okay for you to leave your sister-in-law alone in the empty room?" Zhang Chulan was still smiling at first, but when he heard this, he immediately said with a bitter face: "I have slept alone for so many years, no matter how many people there are, Not used to it.
And I'm afraid that if you fall asleep, you will suddenly kick me out of bed. "
"Fart, wasn't it all our father's fault!" Zhang Chuyi shouted loudly.
Zhang Chulan said quietly: "When you were kicked down, it was dad who did it, but after dad slept in the yard, I would roll out of bed inexplicably in the middle of the night. Who do you think did this?"
"If you don't want to sleep with me, why don't you sleep with me? Why did you smear my innocence out of thin air?" Zhang Chuyi got out of bed angrily, cursing, but refusing to admit the embarrassing things he did when he was a child.
"Okay, then you should have a good rest. Special training with Sister Bao'er will begin tomorrow. It's normal to get beaten and injured. Don't complain then." Zhang Chuyi said and opened the door.
"I know, brother, didn't we always come here like this when we were young?" Zhang Chulan waved her hand, indicating that he should go back to the room quickly.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Chuyi closed the door and returned to his room.
"Hey, you haven't slept yet?" Returning to the room, Zhang Chuyi was surprised to find that Xia He didn't sleep either, "Are you waiting for me?"
"I know I'm waiting for you, why don't you hurry up?" Xia He put down the phone and lifted the quilt.
By the moonlight, Zhang Chuyi saw a pair of plump jade legs glowing softly.
He rubbed his hands excitedly and pounced on the sheep...
