remember who i am

Before entering the Du Mansion, Li Tao was just a child of an ordinary peasant family.

Both his parents died when he was not sensible, and Li Tao was raised by his elder brother Li Fei who was ten years older than him.

For unknown reasons, Li Tao was born speechless, unable to make a sound even when crying. When he felt uncomfortable or was bullied by his peers, he could only cry silently.

People in the same village, whether they are adults or children, avoid Li Tao like a snake and scorpion. Some people say that this child is a disaster star. His parents are still speechless after his death. Even the elder brother who raised him is also implicated and has passed the age of marriage. But not a daughter-in-law.

Even walking, people distanced themselves from Li Tao for fear of bad luck.

Li Tao's childhood and even his entire life were lonely and lonely.

The family is poor, and Li Fei, who works hard in the fields every day, can only ensure that the two brothers are full, and can not give Li Tao anything else.

Li Tao's body is weak, and a boy of twelve or thirteen years old is so thin that he can be blown away by a gust of wind.

Even so, Li Tao still insists on going to the bookstore to read and study every day.Li Fei didn't have any extra money to support Li Tao's education, so Li Tao could only acquire knowledge through this method.

Although he can't speak, Li Tao is particularly interested in engineering arithmetic, and he can sit still and think about one question for a day.

If you can't think of anything, you punish yourself for not eating.

Gradually, Li Tao's eagerness to learn became famous in the small village, and people began to ask him to help settle accounts and design houses and courtyards.

Li Tao's situation in the village can be a little better.

At least he won't be shunned like a snake or a scorpion anymore.

Because he was no longer a burden to his elder brother, a matchmaker soon came to matchmaking and told Li Fei the third girl from the Qian family in the east of the village.

Qian San'er only put forward one condition, that is, she does not want a dowry gift of a copper, and likewise, she does not have any dowry to bring to the Li family.

Qian San'er, who was about the same age as Li Fei, didn't get married not only because she was poor, but more importantly, because she was jealous and harsh, and her reputation was quite bad.

But in order to have a woman to take care of his brother's life, Li Fei still bit the bullet and agreed.

A donkey with red flowers on it walked from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, and Li Tao has since gained a sister-in-law.

The days that followed were neither good nor bad. Qian San'er looked at his brother-in-law who couldn't speak, and although he was dissatisfied, it was because he had just entered the house, so he followed Li Fei in everything and made some simple white rice for Li Tao every day. Steamed bun.

Life is gradually getting on the right track, and Li Tao, who has warm meals and accounts, is very satisfied.

One night half a year later, Li Tao, who was about to turn off the lights, was awakened by a hasty knock on the door.

When the door was opened, only a bloody boy with an arrow stuck in his back passed out at the door.Li Fei bravely stepped forward to check, and found that the arrow did not hit a vital point, not enough to be fatal.

The arrow is extremely gorgeous, and the workmanship is meticulous, and it is obvious at a glance that it has a lot of background.

Qian San'er asked Li Fei to throw the child away. After hesitating for a while, Li Fei finally picked up the unconscious child and walked out of the house.

Li Tao sat obediently in the room, but he was in a hurry.

There is clearly hope for a cure, so why throw him away?

Watching Qian San'er yawning and going back to the house, Li Tao didn't even put on his coat, quietly opened the door a crack, held his breath on tiptoe and followed Li Fei.

Following his elder brother all the way, he saw Li Fei throwing the child to the side of the road, and after Li Fei tiptoed away, he quickly picked up the child.

The child is only seven or eight years old, and has many wounds on his body.I don't know how such a young child could form such a big hatred with others, and he insisted on being killed.

Li Tao's hands holding the child trembled slightly, took off the only clothes on his body to wrap the child around, and hurried to the hospital.

It was already late at night, and Li Tao hurried to the hospital, hugging the child with one hand, and smashing the door with all his strength with the other, finally woke up the sleeping doctor.

The doctor opened the door impatiently, and yelled at Li Tao, "What are you doing, didn't you see me sleeping!"

Holding the child, Li Tao fell to his knees and begged bitterly, his mouth opened and closed, and no one knew what he was talking about.

Obviously, Li Tao has anxiously forgotten the fact that he can't speak.

"It's okay to save people, how much money do you have?" Lang Zhong sighed, stopping Li Tao from talking to himself.

Li Tao widened his eyes and shook his head slowly.

He has no money, not a penny.

The whole arm trembled violently, and when he gently put the bleeding child on the ground, Li Tao kowtowed to the doctor.

Every hit was a real knock, and soon Li Tao's forehead turned red.

The bright red blood flowed down the corners of the eyes to the ground, and happened to land on the chapped lips of the child.

The child smacked his lips and slowly opened his eyes.

Although the person is not big, he was stunned for a while when he saw Li Tao kneeling on the ground and the cold-faced doctor, and it took him a long time to realize where he was now.

With great effort, he took a button off his clothes and threw it on the ground.

The child was trembling with pain, and his voice contained a hint of forbearance, "This is an opal, enough for medical expenses."

The doctor suddenly changed his face, held the gem on the ground in his palm, and looked at the light in the room again and again.

After confirming again and again that it was genuine, the doctor held the child in his arms, not caring about the blood on his body, smiled at Li Tao, and started the treatment.

After a night of treatment, the blood on the child's body was finally stopped.

Due to excessive blood loss, the child's face was frighteningly pale, but his eyes were shining brightly when looking at Li Tao.In Ning Yu's memory, no one has ever cared so much about him.

Some are just bloodthirsty and contention.

Blinking his eyes, he even puffed up his cheeks, trying to look as cute as possible, "I don't know the way home, brother, please take me in."

Li Tao felt sorry for the child. Although his situation was extremely difficult, he could not refuse the child's bright eyes.

Kneeling at the door of the house with Ning Yu in his arms for a day, Qian San'er let him stay.

One more person means one more mouth.

Qian San'er, who was already dissatisfied with Li Tao, was even angrier when he saw Ning Yu.

Ning Yu took off a row of buttons on his clothes and threw them to Qian San'er, his voice was cold without any warmth, "These are enough for you to eat for a lifetime."

Qian San'er looked at the various sparkling gems in his hand, and never made things difficult for Li Tao and Ning Yu again.

Ning Yu lived in Li Tao's house for two years.

Li Tao, who is accompanied by a child, is obviously a lot more cheerful. One of the things he does most often is lie on a bamboo chair with a child in his arms, doing calculations and reading various algorithms.

One day, the head of the Du family came to this remote place to give lectures, and Li Tao took the child by the hand to let him learn more.

Unexpectedly, Du Shaohui took a fancy to him and invited him to manage accounts in Du's mansion.

Qian San'er, who came to watch the fun, immediately pushed Li Tao to Du Shaohui's side regardless of whether Li Tao agreed or not, and hurriedly agreed, constantly praising how powerful Li Tao is.

Li Tao shook his head, probably his sister-in-law didn't welcome him long ago.

Thinking of Li Fei, Li Tao gritted his teeth and agreed. In fact, if there was no elder brother in this family, he would have left long ago.

How can a dignified man rely on his elder brother to support him?

Li Tao also secretly made up his mind to let the Li family shine.

Back home, Li Fei who learned that Li Tao was going to Du's house was naturally reluctant in every possible way, but Qian San'er opened his mouth and shut up because it was the Du family's good, and he made the Du family talk about it.

Ning Yu couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and told out everything about Qian San'er's previous behavior.

Of course Ning Yu knew that Li Tao was reluctant to leave, but he hoped that Li Tao could get rid of such a family. His brother Tao should leave here without any worries.

Li Fei looked at Qian San'er with a look of disbelief, and looked at the wronged younger brother who huddled into a ball, and finally did what he always wanted to do but didn't have the guts to do.

He stretched out his hand and slapped Qian San'er hard on the face.

Li Fei, who claims to never hit a woman, hit his wife for the first time.

Li Tao widened his eyes and hugged Ning Yu tightly to hide in the corner. He had never seen such a furious Li Fei that made him panic.

Ning Yu proudly raised her little head, making this woman always bully Li Tao.

After all, it was time to leave. Before parting, Li Fei took off the jade pendant in his bosom and put it on Li Tao's neck. He sighed and said nothing after all.

Qian San'er saw that Li Fei actually gave the treasure to Li Tao, and immediately quit, crying and dragging the precious jade.

Just kidding, this is an ancestral treasure in Li Fei's family, how many times she didn't even get Li Fei's permission to take a look at it.

Watching Li Tao's neck being strangled with a thin mark, Li Fei clenched his fist and slapped him down again.

Qian San'er was completely silent, and Li Tao took Ning Yu and followed Du Shaohui away, without looking back.

Soon, Li Tao got used to the life in the Du Mansion. Everyone inside was very kind, and there was no discrimination or avoidance from others.

The daily life here is comfortable and comfortable, the work of calculating the books is very easy, and he can follow the students to listen to the master's lectures in his spare time. Li Tao has found his own value.

On an ordinary day, Li Tao came to Ning Yu's room with breakfast as usual, only to find that he had long since disappeared.

A letter in a red envelope was placed on the neatly folded quilt.

Ning Yu said that he had something to do at home, so he had to go back.

He didn't even say hello, Li Tao didn't prepare at all, and he didn't even say goodbye.

Ning Yu seemed to be a passer-by in his life. When he woke up from the dream, the cute child who would hug his arm and sweetly call "Brother Tao" disappeared like a bubble.

There is no more news, as if the world has evaporated.

The sudden loss of such a child is like losing the whole world to Li Tao.

This child has long since become his only family member!

In Du's mansion, he looked at the ledgers as usual, and listened to the masters' courses as usual, but everything seemed to have been stained by time, and everything became pale in Li Tao's eyes.

As long as he has spare time, Li Tao will wander around the streets, posting Ning Yu's portraits one by one in crowded places, hoping that Ning Yu will come back by himself after seeing them.

After following Du Chunyu for a walk, finally the emperor paid off. At the gate of Shen Mufan's small courtyard in Jiangning, Li Tao saw a familiar figure.

The child has not changed much, but there is a hideous scar on his face.

Li Tao didn't dare to imagine what happened to Ning Yu. He guessed that this child had an extraordinary background, but no matter what, he was still his younger brother.

For the first time, Li Tao did something so resolutely.

Hold the child on his shoulders, watch over Ning Yu firmly, eat and live together, and can no longer let people run away, he wants to watch over the only child who can bring him warmth.

Later, when Ning Yu used his identity as the head of the Lijing Sect to remove poppies all over the city, Li Tao finally knew what kind of person his good brother was.

are you afraid?

Probably because of fear.

But in the future, everything will develop beyond Li Tao's expectation.

Seeing Ning Yu kill two people easily without even frowning, Li Tao realized that Ning Yu no longer needed his protection.

Conversely, he is the one who has been cared for and protected all the time.

They may have never been from the same world, and he no longer has any reason to keep this child by his side.

When leaving the city, Li Tao consciously got into Du Shaohui's bullock cart.

There is no need to follow Du Chunyu anymore, because he seems to have achieved his goal to find Ning Yu, and there is no need to follow Du Chunyu to Huanbei.

But before he climbed onto Du Shaohui's bullock cart, Li Tao was hugged by the little man rushing over like a cannonball, and was lightly carried off the bullock cart.

Ning Yu looked at Li Tao eagerly, and there was no cute expression on her face that she used to make to make Li Tao laugh.

A face full of wisdom and seriousness that does not match his age.

Li Tao stiffened for a moment.

"Li Tao," this was the first time Ning Yu called him by his full name, without the word "brother".

Li Tao turned his head and still hugged Ning Yu slowly.

No one said a word, and Li Tao didn't get into Du Shaohui's car either.

"I'm going to take my brother home." Ning Yu nodded at Du Shaohui, ignoring the immature body, just listening to the tone, he couldn't imagine that this was still a minor.

"Okay." Du Shaohui narrowed his eyes with a smile, and even touched Ning Yu's head.

Watching the group leave, Ning Yu directly dragged Li Tao back into the house.

"Li Tao, don't you even want me?" Face to face with Li Tao, Ning Yu never called Li Tao brother again, his voice trembling slightly.

Li Tao froze for a moment, opened his mouth and found that he couldn't make a sound.

"I am the head of the Li Jing Sect, but I have no choice!"

Born as the eldest son of the only sect master of the Lijing Sect, he did not enjoy the slightest bit of glory and wealth, and he was thrown into the jungle for training when he was ignorant and just able to speak.

After finally learning some grades, he was chased and killed because of internal strife, and thus lost his parents who hadn't met a few times.

The first person he met after escaping was Li Tao, who was obviously a stranger, but this person actually did this for him.

When he saw the blood on Li Tao's forehead, Ning Yu decided that this person must be his.

Later, seeing that Li Tao had a good place to go, Ning Yu couldn't help but want to go back to avenge his shame.

A person sneaked back to the Li Jingmen with his own strength, and killed the rebellious second elder with one blow while they were slack.

But the face was injured by that person's confidant due to carelessness, from the corner of the eye to the back of the ear, the hideous scars abruptly destroyed the soft face.

"If you don't want me, if you don't want me, I will, I will,"

He tied him back to the Lijing Gate and locked him at the head of the bed where only he could see it.

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yu was wrapped in a warm embrace. Li Tao hugged Ning Yu and shook his head desperately. How could it be? How could he not want Ning Yu?

Ning Yu is everything to him!

"Then you still want me?" Ning Yu lowered her head and silently swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"Then you come back to Lijing Gate with me!" Now that the rebellion inside the gate has been wiped out by him, it is the safest place for him now.

Li Tao shook his head, took out a piece of paper and wrote slowly, "I still want to settle accounts in the Du Mansion,"

"But Lijingmen also lacks an accountant." Ning Yu blinked, and returned to her naive and ignorant appearance.

Li Tao lowered his eyes and seemed to be struggling, but he had promised Du Shaohui that he would settle accounts for him for ten years, and now only three years have passed.

And he likes the vibe there.

"Forget it." Ning Yu couldn't see Li Tao's embarrassment, "Is it okay for you to settle the score for me after seven years?"

This time, Li Tao nodded without any hesitation, as long as he could be with Ning Yu, he would be content.

……

Seven years later.

Lijingmen master bedroom.

Li Tao, who had just been picked up by Ning Yu, was sitting on a chair in the corner, holding an account book thicker than a dictionary and carrying an abacus to check the numbers one by one.

The neglected and bored Ning Yu lay on the bed with dull eyes.

Seven years is enough for Ning Yu to grow up.

Although he is still underage, he is no longer short, even a head taller than Li Tao.

The scars on the face have faded, but if you look carefully, you can still see it clearly, making a tender face that can pinch water become a bit fierce.

For the whole day, Li Tao didn't even move a step except after eating and going to the toilet.

Finally, after Li Tao turned over this page of the account book, Ning Yu finally couldn't help it, and leaned over to stick to Li Tao's back like a large plaster.

"Brother Tao~"

Li Tao paused for a moment with his abacus, and then the abacus moved up and down faster.

It doesn't even have the previous rules, it seems to be... blah blah blah?

"Do the math, when will I be able to fuck you?" Ning Yu said something that made people blush and heartbeat without the slightest bit of shame as his slightly cool neck rubbed against Li Tao's fiery back.

Hearing Ning Yu's words, the crackling abacus fell to the ground in an instant, and the beads were scattered all over the ground.
