Splendid Twins

Si Yang stood aside. He was afraid of Lu Yuan from the bottom of his heart.

The most vivid memory was the time when they met Lu Yuan on the mountain. He was hunched over and hitting his head hard with his fists, shouting words he couldn't understand. He became curious and ran over to get closer, but was scared away by the fierceness and cruelty in his eyes. From then on, he avoided this man from afar.

Lu Yuan glanced at Si Yang and then whispered to Si Yao:

"I'm going to go collect some firewood while you get the horse, okay?"

Si Yao looked up and met his eyes when she heard that, and they stood facing each other. Only they knew the deep meaning of this sentence. Lu Yuan knew that she had a secret, and he was willing to play deaf and dumb and not arouse his curiosity.

"it is good."

Si Yao nodded, feeling relieved. She had thought she would have to find an excuse to get rid of him, but now she felt at ease.

"Yaoyao and I will go get the horses."

Si Yang spoke weakly from the side, and with Lu Yuan around him, he consciously restrained himself a little.

"No, you and I will go collect firewood."

Lu Yuan's voice was low and powerful, and his tone was irresistible.

"Second brother, you go first, I'll be back soon."

Si Yao turned a corner and walked up the hillside, Lu Yuan led Si Yang to the other side, and the three of them moved separately.

The cold wind howled among the mountains, blowing the dead grass and fallen leaves covered with ice and snow. The whole mountain looked desolate, silent and lonely.

Si Yao walked to a relatively flat ground and opened the space ranch. He touched the chip with his fingertips and moved a horse out of the space. The wild horse suddenly changed its place and became a little restless. Its four hooves kicked around, and its mane and tail seemed particularly excited.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet new friends."

Si Yao spoke, and the horse came over with brisk steps and rubbed its head against her arm. The feeling of closeness made her laugh out loud.

When he was leading the horse back, he saw a fire already burning on the ground. The two men were adding firewood to it. Hearing the noise, Si Yang looked up and his eyes widened!

The tall horse behind his sister is really majestic, but the key is whether he can control it himself?

"Come, let's warm ourselves by the fire first."

Lu Yuan walked over and led the horse to the side, looking it up and down with a hint of surprise in his eyes. The horse's eyes were clear and bright, its nostrils were open, and it exuded an unruly air, which was somewhat similar to a fairy.

"Yaoyao, there are two taro buried inside, don't forget them later."

Si Yang stood up and made way for him. He really admired Lu Yuan. He actually hid all kinds of food in the cave and was not afraid of being discovered by others.

"Where did it come from?"

"I hid it."

Lu Yuan said it casually, and took Si Yang to get familiar with the horse. Si Yao smiled as he listened:

"It's a bargain for me now."

Lu Yuan was talking about the habits and characteristics of horses, mixed with Si Yang's exclamations. Si Yao stared at the fire in front of her and fell into deep thought...

Under what circumstances would a person hide food in the mountains?

When amnesia strikes, hallucinations and memory disorder will occur, not only will there be great mood swings, but also cognitive changes. Lu Yuan has been alone for many years, and it is inevitable that he will be taken advantage of by the villagers. Only when he is sober can he use violence to protect his things. Over time, others are afraid of him, alienate him, and forget him...

Si Yao stared at the fire with sore eyes. When she first met Lu Yuan, she noticed that he was extremely vigilant and wary of people. She moved her fingers and a few chestnuts appeared on her palms. This was the thank-you gift he gave her when she helped him remove the animal trap.

A bonfire burned in the open wilderness, making crackling sounds. The flames swayed in the breeze, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if telling endless stories.

Another person who was so frightened by a conscription document that he couldn't sleep was the Duke of Zhenguo. When his wife heard him sigh, she couldn't help but speak:

"Can't sleep?"

The Duke of Zhenguo was completely sleepless. He opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice:

"I originally planned to have the prince withdraw from the army under the pretext of getting married, but now that His Majesty has launched a conscription, and the Western Rong are coming aggressively, I'm afraid he will have no choice."

When the Duke's wife heard this, her heart ached, and her voice choked up:

"Although my son is the crown prince, he has suffered hardships that no one else has. If Your Majesty is worried..."

"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about?"

The wife of the Duke was just complaining when she was interrupted by the King of the Nation. The situation was turbulent right now, and she must not speak out words that could try to figure out the King's mind!

"Then, how can I get my son back?"

The Duke of Zhenguo did not speak, but was just thinking about the situation in the court. His Majesty seemed to be letting the factional struggles in the court go, but in fact he was well aware of the situation. The conflicts between the several princes were also fierce...

"By the way, you can introduce him to Wanwan in advance, so that she won't be caught off guard when the time comes."

The Duke of Zhenguo narrowed his eyes and was calculating something. It's not like he hadn't heard the rumors that his daughter couldn't marry into the royal family, at least she couldn't have any connection with the royal family before the crown prince was appointed.

The Duke's wife was speechless. She already knew what her daughter was thinking. She had a strong desire to win, just like she would not marry anyone other than the Duke. The Duke of Zhenguo was startled by his wife's silence and stared at her with deep eyes:

"Already have a candidate?"

A sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in my heart, and I continued to ask: "Which prince is it?"

The Duke's wife spoke softly: "Prince Li is wise and brave..."

"stop!"

The Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that he pointed his finger, then got out of bed with a cold face and got dressed. The Duke's wife hurriedly said:

"Where are you going?"

The Duke of Zhenguo gnashed his teeth and warned in a low voice:

"You two should stop thinking about this as soon as possible. If you dare to cause trouble, you will both go to the farm and reflect on your actions!"

After saying that, he went to the study angrily. They were both very ambitious, but they had caused him countless troubles in just a few months since they came back!

He couldn't help but blame Zhou Yao for being willful. The meaning of his words was very clear at the beginning. If her death could preserve the dignity of the whole family, he would take the opportunity to adopt Zhou Wan as his adopted daughter and raise her in the mansion. At that time, he would only admit the crime of not disciplining her properly.

Now, the noble lady he had carefully brought up is working hard for a few pieces of silver in a farmer's house, while a shallow man from the countryside has the ambition to become a phoenix!

It's all the fault of that damn person behind the scenes. Mrs. Wang refused to reveal who instructed her to do this. The secret guards investigated for months but found nothing. This feeling of being controlled made him extremely unhappy!

As the night gradually fades, the moon's light gradually dims, leaving behind a quiet darkness.

Si Yang ran a few laps with Lu Yuan until he gradually got the hang of it. Now he tried to ride the horse alone. Lu Yuan gave him a few instructions and came over. Si Yao was squatting on the ground beside the fire, with her arms around her body and her head resting on her knees, sleeping quietly.

Her face looked even more beautiful in the flickering flames. With her eyes closed, her eyelashes drooped naturally like cicada wings.

Lu Yuan couldn't look away. He felt an itch on the fingertips hanging by his side. He squatted down and touched her cheek carefully. His eyes softened instantly, as if ice and snow had melted.

Si Yao frowned when she noticed a shadow beside her. She moved her stiff body and opened her eyes. She was startled awake by the tenderness in Lu Yuan's eyes. She then pretended not to notice and spoke softly:

"Where's my second brother?"

Lu Yuan looked at her steadily, his eyes deep and focused. Si Yao turned her head away awkwardly, feeling a little nervous.

"He's still practicing. Let me take you back. It's cold and dewy at night. You, a girl, can't stand it."

Lu Yuan stood up and glanced at Si Yang not far away, his tone indifferent, as if the tenderness just now was just an illusion.

"Let him ride one more lap, and then we'll go back together."

Si Yao pretended to be calm, but in fact her whole heart was a mess and she couldn't calm down.
