"Ning Yu, accompany us to a place first."

"Where?"

Ning Yu was a little surprised to find that this time the Zheng brothers didn't borrow Uncle Liu's ox cart when they entered the city. They came on foot, and now they are going to take Ning Yu to buy horses.

"Do you want to buy horses?"

Ning Yu looked at the huge "Horse Administration" on the sign at the door, and immediately understood what the Zheng brothers wanted to buy.

He watched the Zheng family brothers buy two horses in one go, and gave 60 taels of silver to the people in the office, Ning Yu's eyes widened.

He has always felt that the Zheng family brothers dress plainly, live a simple life, and there is no high-end furniture at home. Zheng Xiuran also told him about their hardships in the past, how a seemingly ordinary family can come up with such a large sum of money all at once. Buy a horse?

Zheng Xiuyuan looked at Ning Yu's unbelievable look, rubbed the top of Ning Yu's head, and said in a smiling voice;

"We can still afford two horses."

"Yes, yes, Ning Yu, is there anything you want? I'll buy it for you."

Ning Yu shook his head, he didn't need anything else.

Zheng Xiuyuan let Ning Yu sit on the horse, and then got on the horse and sat behind him. Zheng Xiujie was alone, and the three walked towards Baiyu Village.

When they entered the village, they passed the elder's house at the entrance of the village. Wang Dafu was standing at the door of their house arguing with her brother.

When Ning Yu, who was sitting on the horse, saw her, he seemed to think of something, turned his head and leaned into Zheng Xiuyuan's arms.

Zheng Xiuyuan glanced at Wang Dafu coldly, his condescending manner reminded Wang Dafu of the words Zheng Xiuyuan warned him not to approach their house again, he swallowed the words he wanted to say hello to, and looked at Zheng Xiuyuan hugging Ning Yu with jealousy and fear She didn't notice the back view of riding away, her fingers almost tore the skirt of the clothes.

After Ning Yu went back, he saw the boss of the Zheng family pulling the horses to the backyard. After returning to his room to lay down his burden, he also followed.

Zheng Xiuyuan's vision was very good. The two horses, one brown and one red, had smooth fur and were strong and strong. Ning Yu touched the body of the brown horse and followed Zheng Xiuyuan's example to help them feed the grass and brush their hair.

After busying for a long time, Zheng Xiujie, who was chopping firewood, was about to make dinner. Zheng Xiuyuan saw the third child walking away, so he mysteriously took out something from somewhere and handed it to Ning Yu;

"Ning Yu, this is for you."

When Ning Yu saw it, it turned out to be a woodcut villain, with a lifelike expression and a cute smiling face, and even the wrinkles of the wind-blown clothes were perfectly carved.Moreover, the facial features of this little wooden figure are like a miniature version of him.

"Wow, brother, did you engrave this? It's so delicate."

Ning Yu put down the brush used to brush the horse's hair, and played with the wood carving in his hand, very pleasantly surprised.

"As long as you like it."

Ning Yu was sitting on a swing under a big tree, carefully touching the wood carving in his hand. Seeing that Zheng Xiuyuan had finished speaking, he began to clean up the weeds and firewood that had fallen on the ground. He also quickly put down the wood carving in his hand and went to find Bring a bamboo basket so that Zheng Xiuyuan can put the packed weeds and firewood into it.

He squatted beside him, looking up at Zheng Xiuyuan who was bending over to pack his things, his eyes were full of smiles.

"Okay, you go and sit on the side, I'll be fine."

Zheng Xiuyuan didn't want to tire Ning Yu, he took the bamboo basket and cleaned up the sundries on the ground very quickly with his hands and feet.

Seeing this, Ning Yu was not too polite, went back to the swing, picked up the wood carving, wiped off the dust that did not exist on it, put it in his arms with satisfaction, and walked towards the front yard.

Before leaving, he patted the heads of the two horses and told them to stay here obediently, as if the horses could understand.

After returning from Zeying Academy, Ning Yu’s health is much better, and he will go hunting with Zheng Xiuyuan on weekdays, but the mountain road is not easy to walk. Zheng Xiuyuan doesn’t want Ning Yu to work too hard, but due to Ning Yu’s repeated requests, he still takes Ning Yu with him from time to time. Go up the mountain to explore the traps.

For this reason, Zheng Xiuyuan also made a wooden walking stick for Ning Yu. Besides self-defense, this walking stick can also save some effort when walking on mountain roads.

Ning Yu was really happy when he received the cane. The hardwood cane was as long as Ning Yu's waist. It was thick and thin and felt very good in the hand. Ning Yu thanked Zheng Xiuyuan happily and watched happily.

Seeing Ning Yu smiling happily, Zheng Xiuyuan curled the corners of his mouth accordingly.

"Brother Zheng, your craftsmanship is really good."

After the meal, Ning Yu was still praising the exquisite cane that Zheng Xiuyuan made for him.

"Ning Yu Ning Yu, what about me? What about me? Try my dried chili and apricot meat."

"It's delicious, the third brother cooks the best. Hahaha..."

Ning Yu turned his head and also praised Zheng Xiujie, and they laughed together.

The days of the three of them seemed to be calm again.

On weekdays, Ning Yu would help the brothers of the Zheng family with laundry, cooking, and cleaning the house. He was not proficient at doing these things at the beginning. The brothers of the Zheng family also felt sorry for Ning Yu and did not want him to do rough work, but Ning Yu firmly shook Shaking his head, he said that since he lives here now, he should do something for everyone.

Seeing this, the Zheng family brothers could only let Ning Yu do it, but they would not let Ning Yu do any heavy physical work.

When Ning Yu was working, he was not ambiguous at all, he kept the Zheng family's yard very clean, and when the eldest and third child came back late, he would prepare meals and wait for them every day.

In the life of the Zheng family, everything Ning Yu did made him feel happy from the bottom of his heart. The boss and the third always felt that he was tired, but Ning Yu was not tired at all, he was even very happy.

In his spare time, besides going up the mountain with the eldest brother, Ning Yu would also go to the tree house with the third child. They chatted on the tall trees. Ning Yu really liked the feeling of looking out in the wind, which made him feel boundless. free.

Zheng Xiujie found that every time Ning Yu was in the tree house, although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were very sad. He wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask.

On this day, Ning Yu and Zheng Xiujie were sitting in the tree house again. He rested his head on his arms, hugged his knees and looked into the distance, silent.

His thoughts flew far, far away, and Ning Yu remembered his previous life.

He used to be the second young master of Ning's family, a silk merchant in Feiyang City, Huizhou.

His father is still alive, but his mother has passed away, and he also has a half-brother.

His other identity is Master Ning's illegitimate son.

Ning Yu has been dependent on his mother since he was a child. His mother was originally a singing girl named Yue Ru. Later, Ning Zhenru fell in love with him. He was not admitted back to the main house until he was six years old.

When she first entered the wealthy compound, the kind-hearted and weak mother couldn't stand the torture of the mistress of the Ning family, Ning Zhenru's original wife, so she left within a few months.

Perhaps it was retribution, the mistress of the Ning family also died of a serious illness soon. At that time, he and his half-brother Ning Ting were still young and lost their mother at the same time, so they sympathized with each other and comforted each other.

His father only cared about his silk business, and he would only ask casually about Ning Yu and his brother Ning Ting, and he seldom even asked ordinary questions about their relatives.

Later, the older brother Ning Ting grew up and started doing business with Ning Zhenru.For some reason, since Ning Ting started studying business, the relationship between Ning Yu and him has gradually become estranged. Ning Ting is actually very good to him and has always taken care of him, but Ning Yu just feels that something is wrong.

At the age of 16, a marriage was arranged for her 20-year-old brother, but Ning Ting seemed very reluctant.

On the day Ning Yu went to the temple to burn incense, Ning Ting happened to need to go out for two days to discuss business and was not in Huizhou.

For some unknown reason, Ning Zhenru ordered someone to take Ning Yu away forcibly, intending to send him far away, but he did not expect to encounter bandits on the way, and Ning Yu accidentally fell off the cliff. Fortunately, there was a road under the cliff. River, he floated here and was rescued ashore by Zheng Xiuyuan.

Ning Yu knew that according to his brother's personality, if he knew that he was missing, he would definitely spare no effort to find him.

Ning Ting is good at everything, good-looking, well-educated, and top-notch in work and study.But maybe because of the premature death of his mother, Ning Ting and Ning Yu cuddled together to keep warm. Ning Ting had a special paranoid and controlling desire towards Ning Yu.

Ning Yu understood that Ning Ting had no sense of security.

Ten-year-old Ning Yu once picked up a short-tailed puppy and loved it very much. He hugged the short-tailed puppy wherever he went, without hiding his love for him.

Ning Ting saw it, it happened to be the stage when he and Ning Zhenru started to study business, and felt that the dog seemed to replace him and became a part of Ning Yu's dependence.

Waking up one morning, Ning Yu found that his short-tailed puppy was missing. He searched all over the Ning Mansion but couldn't find it.

Anxious, he saw Ning Ting appearing at the door of his room, so he hurried forward to ask his brother.Unexpectedly, Ning Ting said such a thing.

"If the closest person to Ah Yu is not me, it cannot be someone else."

"Not even dogs."

After he finished speaking, he threw something, which was a piece of tail. Ning Yu recognized his beloved short-tailed puppy at a glance. He was horrified, and stood in place with cold hands and feet, looking at the short-tailed puppy on the ground. It had a short gray tail with a little blood on one end, but Ning Yu couldn't even cry.

Ning Yu looked at Ning Ting with a pale face, but Ning Ting seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago. He came over and hugged Ning Yu, holding Ning Yu's stiff body, and said;

"Ning Yu, I only have you, don't leave me behind."

Although Ning Yu forced himself to forget about it later, his little fear of Ning Ting began to take root in his heart. This is why Ning Ting blindly treated him later, but he always deliberately kept his distance.

Will the brother find him?

Ning Yu was blowing the mountain wind, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.

Maybe, playing hide and seek as a child, my brother could always find out where he was.

Ready to leave?

But Ning Yu suddenly heard a sentence, "At that time, will you still be here?"

It was his first night in the academy, Zheng Xiuran asked him.

He remembered the cautiousness and expectation in Zheng Xiuyuan's tone.

Do you want to stay?

"Ning Yu, I only have you, don't leave me behind."

Brother Ning Ting's paranoid and pitiful prayer also appeared in his mind.

Do you want to go back?

Ning Yu shook his head, he wanted to get rid of the voice in his head.

Zheng Xiujie, who was sitting next to him, was a little worried when he saw Ning Yu shaking his head vigorously. He was about to ask what Ning Yu was thinking, but Ning Yu turned his head first;

"Third brother, let's go down, I'm a little cold."

Ning Yu looked at Zheng Xiujie beside him, thinking, at least he can cherish the carefree life right now.

Zheng Xiujie could only swallow the words, and helped Ning Yu to climb down carefully.

They were walking home, the sky was overcast and it looked like it was going to rain.

When Zheng Xiujie and Ning Yu ran home, they were soaked all over their bodies. Seeing each other in a panic, with their wet hair sticking to their faces, they looked like two soaked chickens.

"Hahaha third brother, you should look in the mirror."

"Hahaha Ning Yu, don't talk about me, you are still the same."

Standing under the eaves of the flowing water, Ning Yu and Zheng Xiujie both held their bellies and laughed.

The rain fell on the ground, and a white mist filled the air. In the mist, two teenagers with picturesque eyebrows wiped each other's wet hair with smiles on their faces.At this time, their world is full of carefree happiness.

It seems that there is no trace of worry.
