Splendid Twins

The moment Si Yao stepped into the territory of Nanliang, Sijia Village, thousands of miles away, seemed to be shrouded in an invisible sadness! !

The sun shines on the quiet village, but it can hardly dispel the heavy haze of grief.

——A dozen men, led by Si Yang, died for their country in the battle with the Western Rong! !

The bad news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting the entire village directly.

The messenger sent by the government left the pension money with an indifferent look on his face and left. They had to rush to the next village...

Those who lost their sons, grandsons, and husbands in the village were overwhelmed with grief, and their eyesight was instantly blurred by tears...

"My son!!"

"Oh my God, how am I supposed to live..."

"Wow wow wow...you have such a cruel heart!!!"

"I want daddy... wuwuwu... mommy..."

The village chief silently wiped away the tears from his eyes. His grandson Da Zhuang was gone too...

He took a long time to relax, then gritted his teeth and held on. There were still many things waiting to be dealt with in the village, and he couldn't fall down!

What to do first?

Yes, we should build an ancestral hall, erect memorial tablets, and welcome back the souls of these good men...

Another thing... arrange the funeral, build a tomb, and let people go to pay tribute to them during festivals in the future...

When Si Lao Er heard the name "Si Yang" in the crowd, his originally calm face froze instantly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief!

He froze in place, his lips trembling slightly: "Impossible..."

The crying in his ears was deafening. When he reacted, he grabbed the arm of the person next to him and asked anxiously:

"Say it again, is it Si Yang? Is it my son Si Yang?"

Aunt Huang had a face full of grief, tears streaming down her face before she could say anything. She forced herself to speak:

"Please accept my condolences. Go back and comfort Lady Liu. There is nothing we can do about it..."

When Si Laoer heard this, he loosened his hands and his eyes became empty and absent-minded, as if he had lost all his strength.

He lowered his eyes, remained silent, his shoulders trembling slightly, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions.

After a long while, he raised his head, turned and walked towards the village chief. He had to collect the money for his son's life.

One hundred taels of silver!

This money is hot and heart-burning!!

When Si Lao Er came in with the silver, Liu Niang was hanging clothes in the yard. Seeing him come back, she asked curiously:

"Why do I seem to hear someone crying? What happened?"

After Yaoyao left, she fell seriously ill and stayed at home, not knowing what the situation was like outside.

"Where did you get so much money? Why did you bring it in with you?"

"Talk?"

"What happened?"

Liu Niang spoke one sentence after another, her voice trembling unconsciously. She hurriedly walked forward a few steps, carrying the freshly washed clothes.

Her eyes were full of concern and anxiety, and her heart sank when she saw Si Laoer's unusually pale face.

At this time, Si Lao Er spoke with difficulty, his voice extremely hoarse:

"Mother Liu, our son... Si Yang..."

He hadn't even married yet and died at such a young age!

Si Laoer choked up and couldn't continue speaking, tears began to well up in his eyes.

Liu Niang seemed to have a premonition of something. When she saw those silver ingots, her heart tightened, as if something was grabbing her...

Si Lao Er took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then uttered those words with difficulty:

"Yangyang...he died on the battlefield."

boom!

The clothes in Liu Niang's hands slipped off, and she seemed to have lost all her strength, her face instantly turned as pale as paper! !

Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she was at a loss for a moment. Her body swayed uncontrollably for a few times, and then she fell to the ground weakly.

"Liu Niang!!"

"You...sigh..."

Si Lao Er sighed heavily and squatted on the steps in the yard with difficulty. He always felt that this was not real! !

The youngest son has always been smart, and with a sister as capable as Si Yao, how could he possibly...

Suddenly, his eyes paused, and his expression became deep and strange in an instant, and a certain idea emerged in his mind!

The more Si Lao Er thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible. He stood up and closed the courtyard door, then walked to Liu Niang, squatted down, and said in a low voice:

"Si Yao, that girl...she is someone who can exorcise ghosts and summon spirits..." There was a hint of trembling and anxiety in his voice.

"Let her...let her call back Yangyang's soul, and then find a way...to bring the dead back to life!"

"That girl is capable. As long as she knows that her second brother is gone, she will definitely find a way... Now, you can write a letter to Si Qing and ask him to find someone to send a message to Yaoyao..."

When Liu Niang heard this, her eyes widened in shock. She had never thought that Si Lao Er would make such an incredible request!

She is an illiterate woman who knows that the dead cannot be resurrected, but he, he actually has such a ridiculous idea! !

Seeing that Liu Niang remained silent, Si Lao Er's face darkened:

"Don't delay things any longer. Which is more important, the son or the girl?"

"Our family has a top scholar. If we can have a great general, wouldn't that be a great change for the family? Si Yang has been very protective of that girl. She will definitely have a way..."

Si Lao Er continued his efforts. At this moment, he did not look sad or grief-stricken at all, only calculation and greed in his eyes.

Liu Niang slowly came back to her senses, wiped away her tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and she said sarcastically:

"Oh, can the dead be resurrected?"

"What a joke! Have you watched too many plays... or have you gone insane?"

Si Lao Er didn't like what he heard. He snorted coldly:

"Just tell me, does that girl have any ability? I tell you, Yangyang's death is all her fault!"

Having said that, there is nothing to hide. At this moment, his face is hideous and distorted:

"Isn't she rich? If she had paid five taels of silver, why would Yangyang have to go to the battlefield?"

"She is such a hypocritical girl. She doesn't spend her money on her family, but only thinks about other people. I don't believe that the five taels of silver Lu Yuan paid back then was not given by that girl!!"

Liu Niang didn't say a word from beginning to end. Si Laoer complained for a long time, and when he saw that she didn't respond, he immediately said angrily:

"You're still protecting her. Look, she comes and goes as she pleases. Humph, you say we're her parents, but what does she do? She follows a man..."

"Snapped!"

A loud slap hit Si Lao Er's face. Liu Niang stared at him gloomily and said in a contemptuous tone:

"People like you shouldn't marry and have children. You're not worthy of being a husband or a father. To be more precise, you shouldn't be alive!!"

As soon as these words came out, Si Lao Er glared and gnashed his teeth:

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Liu Niang was not afraid of his cold face at all. She stood up and looked down at him:

"My sons and daughters are ashamed to have a father like you!!"

Si Laoer was so angry that his face turned blue. He stood up suddenly, but he felt dizzy and black in front of his eyes, and he couldn't even stand steadily...
