I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

“Ah~~Ah~~!”

"Oh my god~"

Xiao Yunyou was shaking the wood with all his might.

Suddenly a woman appeared at the window, and he was so scared that he screamed.

“Ghost…Ghost…”

Xiao Yunyou's eyes widened, his lips trembling in panic, his hands were weak and he couldn't hold the wood, the big piece of wood fell directly from his hands.

Lin Yiran wanted to roll her eyes speechlessly.

She held the wood with one hand and quickly pressed Xiao Yunyou's mute point with the other hand.

Xiao Yunyou opened his mouth wide, so anxious that he was speechless.

Lin Yiran gently put the wood on the ground and jumped in through the window.

"Second brother, I am your fourth brother's sister, what ghost is this?"

Lin Yiran glanced around the room and turned to look at Xiao Yunyou, whose eyes were as big as copper bells.

"I'll open it for you, don't scream."

The environment where my second brother lived was very simple, with only a bed made of wooden boards in the thatched house.

There were several patched clothes piled on the wooden bed.

The wooden board was supported by two mud blocks.

The holes of various sizes in the door and the window facing the coriander field were stuffed with torn pieces of cloth.

It can be seen that the second brother has tried his best to block the smell of coriander.

Xiao Yunyou's eyebrows trembled sharply and he nodded vigorously.

My fourth brother’s wife is so awesome.

Although he doesn't know martial arts, looking at the graceful movements of his fourth brother's wife, she is definitely better than his eldest brother.

Lin Yiran took a deep breath and casually tapped in mid-air to untie Xiao Yunyou's mute point.

Her second brother was so thin and frail that she didn't even dare to use her fingers to press the acupuncture points on his body, for fear of making him go flying.

It is hard to imagine that a man who is over 1.8 meters tall can be so skinny.

His face was just a layer of skin hanging over bones, and he was even thinner than the refugees she met when she was fleeing.

When the robe was worn by my second brother, it dangled like a branch.

Lin Yiran looked at her second brother and thought he looked very much like the scarecrow that the villagers hung on the ground to scare away birds.

My second brother has become so thin that my second sister-in-law would probably cry to death when she sees him.

".....Ah!" Xiao Yunyou was able to make a sound when he opened his mouth.

He pulled the corners of his lips awkwardly and coughed lightly.

"Well, this----"

"Fourth brother's wife, I wonder which sect you learned from!?"

As soon as he said this, Xiao Yunyou felt regretful and wanted to slap himself.

There's something stuck between his ears, why did he suddenly lose his mind?

How could he be so familiar with his fourth brother's wife that he could just pry into other people's privacy so casually?

What a sin!

His brain suddenly got stuck and he didn't know what to say, so he just mumbled this sentence.

Lin Yiran looked at Xiao Yunyou's annoyed expression, with a hint of smile in her eyes.

"Brother, now is not the time to talk about this."

"We should go back. Everyone is waiting for us to go back."

Looking at the sky, it would surely be dark by the time they arrived at the camp of General Xiao and his men.

However, she was very satisfied with the efficiency as they found their father and brothers in just one day.

They were then allowed to recuperate while slowly catching up with the main force, which was quite easy.

"Go back home!!"

Xiao Yunyou suddenly raised his eyelids and looked at Lin Yiran, unable to control the excitement in his heart.

For so many years, these two words have been lingering in his heart, and the longing made him feel uncomfortable.

When this day really came, he was so overwhelmed.

Thinking of the relatives he was about to meet, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and his face showed a look of both nervousness and excitement.

I am even more timid when I am close to my hometown.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands together nervously, and rubbed them excitedly twice.

Suddenly, the expression on Xiao Yunyou's face froze.

He lowered his eyes to look at his skinny hands, and his brows unconsciously frowned.

Xiao Yunyou raised his trembling hand and touched the cheek where only a layer of skin was left.

After a long moment, he shook his head with complicated eyes, raised his head and looked at Lin Yiran pleadingly.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I -- I can't face my family in this state."

When he was a child, his brothers tricked him into eating coriander. He was bedridden for seven or eight days and lost a lot of weight due to vomiting.

At that time, my mother's eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying.

He is so thin now, my mother would probably not be able to bear it if she saw him.

Being away from home for such a long time and making his mother worry is already unfilial, so how could he let her see him so sad?

Also---his wife must be so heartbroken to see him like this.

How could he let his daughter Ling Yan see such an unbearable side of him?
