After passing through the cannon fodder in the book, my brother turned out to be the male protagonis

The flame flickered. Fang Yiqin relied on the faint light of the fire, feeling his way forward slowly along the wall. Suddenly, his foot touched a round object. He bent down to pick it up, and when he looked at it in the dim light, he found that it was a baby's skull.

"Fang Daoyou, what's wrong?"

Hearing Xu Changluo's question behind him, Fang Yiqin immediately put the skull back in its place and said, "It's okay, I just kicked a rock."

He continued to move forward with Xu Changluo, but was entangled by vines that grew out of nowhere and grabbed his ankles, pulling him to the ground.

When Fang Yiqin opened his eyes, he saw a group of women in coarse linen clothes surrounding him. Seeing that he was awake, a middle-aged woman helped him up and scolded him with a smile: "Erzhu, you want to go to the fields to work with your small body? Go back and call your mother."

Fang Yiqin looked at them inconspicuously, responded briefly and ran away towards the village.

After entering the village, before Fang Yiqin could react, a strange woman grabbed his ear and scolded him, "You little slut, the person who is going to marry you has come to my house to pay the betrothal gift, and you are running away from me!"

When he opened his eyes, Fang Yiqin found that all the spiritual power in his body had disappeared. He was extremely weak and could not even break free from the woman in front of him with his current strength.

They were dragged all the way back to the so-called "home" and saw a basket of eggs tied with red cloth and two small bags of rice and flour in the yard. Several people were standing in the middle, looking at the two of them with teasing eyes.

"Oh, did my in-laws bring my son back?"

The woman threw Fang Yiqin behind her, raised a flattering smile on her face, and said: "Children of this age are playful. My dear, the child is back. Their marriage——"

Fang Yiqin looked up and saw a wealthy woman with a hypocritical smile on her face. She said, "Before we talked about it, we decided to marry him to my daughter because you have an innocent son. But now look at him. He doesn't even cover his face when he goes out. Maybe he has been secretly having an affair with someone and his body is no longer innocent."

The woman immediately got angry when she heard this. She grabbed Fang Yiqin's arm, pulled open his sleeve and said, "Don't slander me! My son is innocent!"

But when the woman's eyes swept over Fang Yiqin's empty arms, her eyes widened immediately. She slapped him in the face and cursed: "You are just like your father, a scumbag who willingly degrades himself! Now you have lost your innocence, and your sister has lost the money for the imperial examination!"

"Oh, look at what this has caused. Even though I can't be your principal husband, I can still be your concubine." The wealthy woman smiled, covering her lips.

Hearing this, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up. She was about to thank him when she heard the man opposite her say, "It's just that, as you know, a concubine is not as good as a principal wife. I can't give you all these betrothal gifts. But I value talent. You have a daughter who is going to take the imperial examination. These silver and betrothal gifts can be regarded as my support for my niece. If you become successful one day, don't forget me as your in-law."

The woman hurriedly pressed Fang Yiqin and was about to kowtow to the person opposite her to express her gratitude, but Fang Yiqin dodged her.

The woman, angered by Fang Yiqin's action, raised her hand and was about to slap him in the face again, but someone grabbed her wrist.

"Isn't he your own son? How could you be so cruel as to do this to him?"

Fang Yiqin looked at her and found that the person who came looked like Xu Changluo, but the Xu Changluo he knew would not have the courage to come and save people.

Xu Changluo grabbed Fang Yiqin's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you away from here."

When they reached a fork in the road, she said to him, "Just keep going along this path and don't look back. I'll buy you some time. I believe you can escape from here."

"You..." Fang Yiqin was about to ask her directly if she was Xu Changluo, but then he thought about the weirdness of this world and changed the question to another one: "Why did you choose to save me?"

Xu Changluo looked at him with eyes full of nostalgia, lowered his head and smiled slightly, and said: "Because in this girl's memory you are a very good person, she subconsciously doesn't want to hurt you."

Fang Yiqin was about to ask something, but the world turned and he appeared in the cave again. The only difference was that the cave was clean and tidy, and countless candlesticks made the cave warm and bright. He saw Xu Changluo lying on the stone bed. Just as he was about to take a look at her condition, he heard someone behind him say, "I advise you not to get close to her now."

He turned around and saw a gentle-looking girl in white and many girl souls of different ages surrounding her. They all looked at him with curiosity, fear and hatred in their eyes.

"Junior Fang Yiqin greets senior."

The girl laughed and said, "This is the first time I've heard someone call me senior. In the past, all the men would shout at me like a witch or a bitch and rush over to kill me. You were humiliated in the illusion, so you don't have any hatred towards me?"

Fang Yiqin analyzed seriously, "The formation of the illusion is inextricably linked to the owner of the illusion. I guess what happened in the illusion is probably your personal experience, right?"

The girl shook her head and said, "I am not the master of the illusion, but the girls around me are. The things in it are a mixture of what everyone has experienced. You were able to get out early because the girls who came with you did not want to hurt you, so you were able to get out early. You would have had to go through pregnancy and childbirth, difficulties with your parents-in-law, and being thrown into a well to die as a child. If you could survive, you could come to see me, but unfortunately most of them could not hold on to the end and chose to end their lives."

He listened quietly, feeling that whatever he said now would be inappropriate. Then he heard her say, "I've read her memories, and you are indeed a relatively normal man she has met. It's understandable that she doesn't want to hurt you, but I'm curious about what kind of environment created you."

"Because I don't want my sister to have a bad brother as a role model. I don't want her to be unable to distinguish between good and bad men in the future. I want to avoid all possibilities of her getting hurt. To do this, the most useful way is for me to become such a person myself. Instead of preaching to her, it is better to influence her subtly." Speaking of Fang Jingqiu, Fang Yiqin stroked the clothes he bought with his sister, with lingering sadness between his brows.

"Now that you're here, is there anything you want?"

Fang Yiqin cupped his hands and said, "This junior came here only to find the treasure hunting disk."

The girl waved her hand, and countless natural treasures were scattered in front of Fang Yiqin. She said, "I have a lot of rare treasures here. You can pick one and take it away. It will save you the trouble of looking for it with the treasure hunting disk."

He looked down and saw that some of the things inside were excellent materials for maintaining the Thunder Slasher, but Erpang still had no news. Fang Yiqin declined: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still need to find the treasure plate. If you don't have it here, then I'll leave the opportunity to choose to my fellow Taoists."
