The baby-making system is unreliable

Chapter 31: The Prince in Southern Xinjiang vs. the Princess in Jiangnan (6)

"No, you haven't answered my question yet?! Are you trying to change the subject?"

Yun Yirou suddenly realized what was going on, and there was a hint of urgency in her voice. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her lips were slightly pursed, revealing her inner doubts and confusion.

Could it be that he was hiding something from her? She stared at him closely, her eyes gleaming with determination, as if she would not give up until she got the answer.

"Of course not! I won't die..."

Han Xiuqi touched his nose awkwardly. It was just that his internal energy was temporarily lost for a few months. It wouldn't be life-threatening!!!

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by her angry and urgent voice: "Shut... up! Don't say that!"

Yun Xirou's heart suddenly skipped a beat, her face turned pale as paper, and her eyes flickered with anger.

How could I not care about the friendship we have grown up with?!

She reached out and stuffed the rabbit meat into his mouth. Yun Xirou took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"No matter what, you can't joke with your life." Her voice was gentle but firm, not allowing him to say anything else: "Promise me, you won't say that again."

Han Xiuqi chewed the rabbit meat silently, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He looked at Yun Xirou and nodded.

"Okay, okay! I won't say any more!" Han Xiuqi's eyes were sincere and affectionate, and his voice was a little doting: "It's late, finish eating quickly, and I will practice with you from tomorrow."

Yun Xirou smiled slightly, continued to eat the rabbit meat in her hand, and nodded: "Yeah."

……

The night was a little cold. The small house not far away was said to be a thatched hut, but it was actually a bamboo house.

The structure is pretty good, and it looks quite elegant. I wonder who left it there? Anyway, it looks like... there is only one room, and it doesn't seem to have been cleaned much...

In the moonlight, the two figures were very close to each other and there was a fire in the house.

"This room... seems to have never been cleaned? And..." Yun Xirou's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation and she turned her head slightly.

"I'll clean up. And don't worry, I'll sleep on the floor tonight." Han Xiuqi seemed to see what she was thinking and said quickly.

Huh?! That! No... I was thinking that I forgot to prepare daily necessities when I went down the mountain today, so I need to prepare some things for the house!!

Yun Xirou bit her lower lip and said, "Let's... let's clean up first."

The two kids cleaned up for half an hour and it was basically clean.

The night was getting deeper and deeper. Everything around was quiet except for the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the bamboo forest.

"Brother Han! Are you asleep?" Yun Xirou was lying on the bed, unable to sleep. She didn't know if it was because she was not used to the new place or what, so she asked him quietly and tentatively.

Han Xiuqi was lying on the ground not far away with his back to her. When he heard her voice, he was stunned and asked, "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

"Brother Han... I just thought of my parents and was worried. I wanted to know how they were doing. Maybe when I'm lonely at night, I always think of my family."

And there's my mother-in-law. They've been gone for a long time. I wonder if she'll have time to rest when the inn is busy without her help.

When I was busy, would I think of her running around like a monkey? When I was eating, would I miss the two of them? Would I subconsciously make two more portions?

After hearing what Yun Xirou said, Han Xiuqi turned over after a while and turned to look at her.

In the dark night, his eyes were extremely clear, but she couldn't see the emotions in them so clearly.

He is like him, but not like him.

"Family!?"

Han Xiuqi seemed to think about it seriously, his eyes lowered, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Looking at the girl not far away, if... he had any family members he could remember, they would definitely be her and his mother-in-law!

"Do you miss grandma? I... miss grandma too, and I also miss Mr. Zhou from Yishoutang a little bit..."

It was very strange that he could remember his mother-in-law, Boss Zhou, and even the old man from the west of Suzhou City and Aunt Yu who worked at Jinyun Cloth Shop, but he could not remember the person who gave birth to him!

"..."

It was as if they did not exist. Wu Canjiang had mentioned his identity more than once, but as far as he could remember, he had been living in the ruins of the old city of the imperial capital in southern Xinjiang.

No news has ever been heard about Beicang. He is like a wild child raised in an abandoned palace.

And… and… all kinds of poisonous insects… all kinds of medicinal herbs…

Of course, at that time, all he thought about every day was how to secretly practice martial arts and escape.

He would practice swordplay whenever he had time to be lazy. Fortunately, he had an extremely good talent and could almost guess the entire set of swordplay secrets by looking at some scattered swordplay manuals.

“Brother Han, let’s not talk about family, tell me how you and Wu Canjiang met!”

Yun Xirou came back to her senses and thought that Han Xiuqi didn't have many memories of his parents, so she decided to change the subject.

Han Xiuqi slowly recalled their acquaintance and said slowly: "He and I? We are each other's saviors!"

When he was seven years old, Han Xiuqi met Wu Canjiang, who was about the same age as him. At that time, Wu Canjiang came to the old city with his father to pay homage to his grandfather who had just passed away.

As a result, when Wu Canjiang was wandering in the inner palace, he was led to an abandoned palace by a eunuch with evil intentions and fell into an ancient well, where all kinds of snakes, rats, insects and ants were released in an attempt to poison him to death.

To be honest, although Wu Canjiang has been good at Gu since he was a child, he is still young and playful after all.

No matter how high your talent is, it takes time to develop, so you can't cope with it naturally.

Even though Han Xiuqi didn't have a good life and was tortured and oppressed all day long, perhaps he was useful and the people who raised him would not let him die after torturing him.

That day, when Han Xiuqi finished sweeping the yard and clearing the leaves, he passed by the ancient well and found a way to save his life.

Fortunately, he was familiar with this dilapidated palace and could use local materials. After being tortured many times, he had many ways to save himself.

Later, Wu Canjiang spent some time with him and learned that he had suffered a lot. When he was over ten years old, he secretly rescued him from the palace.

Unfortunately, how thorough could the two children's ideas be? Then the Nanjiang Old City Massacre occurred.

Han Xiuqi couldn't remember how tragic it was, and he couldn't even remember the appearance of the man who raised and tortured him.

I vaguely remember that the man had a bell that always rang without any wind.

But when he woke up again, people in the city were afraid of him. Wu Canjiang had fainted, and Uncle Yun saved them.

Later, Wu Canjiang was brought back to the palace, and Uncle Yun took him to Suzhou, telling him to give up martial arts and do anything except use the sword again.

Han Xiuqi told these like he was telling a story, and his emotions were always light.

"Brother Han... you must have suffered a lot!"

There was a gleam in Yun Xirou's eyes. Just listening to his experience, she found it unbelievable and looked at the man in front of her with heartache.

What kind of suffering did he go through to be able to tell these stories so calmly?

"That's all you wanted to say. Don't you blame me for hiding it from you?!"

Han Xiuqi's eyes seemed to change again, and he came back to his senses a little, not daring to look her in the eye.

"If you keep doing this, I'll be angry! You're the one who suffered injustice, and you're the one who suffered the most torture. Why are you afraid of my blame?! How afraid are you of me...?"

Yun Xirou's nose felt sour. It was obviously him who was the one who spoke up and dug up the memories, so why was he worried about being blamed?

Is she that scary? Of course, I was just saying that, I wasn't really angry.

"No...no no...I'm not afraid of you. I'm really not afraid of you!"

Han Xiuqi hurriedly explained, his hands clenched into fists nervously, and he spoke incoherently: "Yes... I'm afraid that you will never talk to me again! I'm really afraid of losing you!"

Sometimes I can’t even tell what I look like, and I don’t know what the real me is like!!

Because he has been used to it for so many years, there is someone who will always be by his side no matter what, and he can see him no matter whether he looks up or down.

If he had never encountered the light, it wouldn’t matter where he was. Once he saw the light, he couldn’t bear to let it go!!!

"Brother Han, it's my fault for bringing this up at this time."

Yun Xirou felt touched. She looked at Han Xiuqi and a smile appeared on her face.

She stretched out her hand and wanted to hold him, but there seemed to be some distance between them, so she had to let go quietly.

She spoke softly, her voice full of tenderness and determination: "Brother Xiuqi, I will be by your side to accompany you. What it has been like in the past ten years will be like it every year from now on!"

Han Xiuqi was touched. She looked at Yun Xirou with a smile on her face, "Thank you..."

"There's no need to be so polite between us." Yun Xirou said softly.

"I will also be by your side. With me by your side, I will never let you be alone."

Han Xiuqi smiled, his tone firm. The two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

The air around them seemed to become particularly heavy because of their sincere and deep emotions, as if time had stopped flowing and only two loving hearts were beating and resonating together.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Wu Shenhuan took her to a place not far away. This place looked a bit like an abandoned martial arts training ground. The key point was that the surrounding area looked a bit like an ancient formation.

However, it has been abandoned for a long time and is surrounded by various flowers and plants.

"The formation here will help you calm down and cultivate your inner strength. Practicing Wuhen Gong here will be of great benefit to you without any harm."

Wu Shenhuan stood in front of her, took her around the neighborhood, and gave her a brief introduction.

"Aunt..."

"Worried about that brat? You don't need to worry about him. I'll let him practice in Baigu, which will be of great benefit to his Gu Shu improvement."

Wu Shenhuan raised her eyebrows and saw the person behind her with a sad look on his face, and she knew what she was thinking.

There are hundreds of valleys less than three miles south of here, with a great variety of rare and exotic herbs. Han Xiuqi is considered to have some talent, and it is not easy for him to practice both medicine and Gu for so many years.

It would be great if I could take this opportunity to practice the art of witchcraft.

"Thank you, Auntie. Please give me the lesson!"

Yun Xirou bowed respectfully, treating it as a gift to become a disciple.

He and I, we will become stronger together!!

"Wuhen Gong is our unique internal breathing technique, which emphasizes the unity of essence, energy and spirit..."

The two, a master and a disciple, began to practice in this martial arts training ground.

Bai Gu was filled with miasma. Han Xiuqi set foot here alone.

Just as my aunt said, the poisonous herbs here would definitely be more powerful if used to make Gu.

Han Xiuqi raised the corner of his mouth, twirled the blood jade flute, waved his long sleeves, practiced Qinggong, and collected many rare and precious herbs, snakes, ants and poisonous insects.

It just so happens that this place is remote, so using the flute to control the Gu is perfect.

The flute played melodiously, the sound was gentle and lingering. The melody was like weeping and complaining, sometimes strange and resolute with a murderous aura, and sometimes low and sad.

And in the Hundred Valleys, the poisonous insects he carefully fed seemed to be able to sense the changes in the sound of his master's flute.

They began to wriggle non-stop with the rise and fall of the flute sound. The weird scene was hard to imagine.

In addition to controlling the poison, Han Xiuqi also had to practice the book that his aunt gave him. He circulated his internal energy according to the methods in the book and entered the sea of ​​consciousness.

A chaotic and messy memory came flooding back, and then, there, he saw another self, Li Weiyang.

One is gentle and firm, the other is cold and ruthless.

"I won't agree to that!!"

Li Weiyang knew exactly what he was here for and flatly refused to lend him his internal strength.

"She is the one I want to protect, and I want to help her become stronger. No matter what the cost, I will help her!" Han Xiuqi's eyes were firm and his tone was resolute.

"Have you forgotten how you were bullied and abused when you had no inner strength? Back then, in the dilapidated old palace, even the most humble and lowly servants dared to bully you!"

Li Weiyang's voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air around him.

His deep and sharp eyes stared at the other person, flashing with undisguised contempt and disdain.

"I haven't forgotten, but I trust her! More than I trust myself."

I just inexplicably believe in their relationship that has lasted for nearly ten years.

“Trust is a huge gamble. If you lose, you will die.”

Feelings cannot stand the test of time. Are you really sure that it will be the same ten years ago as it will be ten years later?

"Are you afraid of losing the bet, or are you actually afraid of being bullied because you don't have any inner strength?"

In one sentence, he hit the nail on the head. Li Weiyang was silent for a moment, then sneered, "I'm afraid of you too!"

They are the same person, what's the difference? ! He did what he did.

"You are me and I am you. Whether you believe her or not, I have the answer in my heart, and so do you!"

But when he heard Yun Xirou's name, his attitude wavered.

Both Han Xiuqi and Li Weiyang liked her, and they all knew it.

"I have a condition. I want control of your body."

"..."

"Then I have a condition. I want all your skills to help me practice Qingsuo Sword Technique again."

"..."

Their memories are not completely interoperable, but their thoughts and ideas can be sensed.

"And you can't hurt anyone at will. I also want your memory! What happened to the massacre ten years ago?"

He always had a vague feeling that the incident was related to him, but he didn't know it completely.

"That's the memory you want to hide. Only when you really think about it, you will know..."

Now, your heart is resisting.
