Difficulty in deciphering

The darkness gradually dissipated, and Lin Jieyu only felt that the world was brighter.

And she... seemed to have returned to... a long, long time ago, those days... when she hadn't met Lin Huiye.

"Look! Look at those birds!!!"

Lan Ruo still remembers that day, when the sky was blue and the birds gathered at the top of Lingxi City, they stayed together for a long time.In the suddenly noisy air, the reverent shouts of the common people could be vaguely discerned.

"Well... so many birds!"

They looked at Lingxi City and shouted loudly.

"That's right... There have never been such a flock of birds in Lingxi Valley! It seems... this time the lady of the valley owner will give birth to... a 'sword' or a 'shield'!"

"Is...is it?! In this way...my Lingxi can keep safe for a hundred years again!"

They were expecting and joyful, as if a round of never-extinguishing lamps were lit in the sky, they murmured.

"Ah...that's great...it's...what kind of Highness?"

"Will it be... what kind of Highness?" Quietly closing her eyes, Lan Ruo whispered, the soft wind blew her long black hair, carrying the prayers of the common people.

But before she could listen any more, the anxious voice of the servant girl in charge came from behind.

"Lan Ruo! Oh... Lan Ruo!! You... why are you still standing on the city wall and blowing the wind! Mrs. Gu is about to give birth! Why don't you hurry down!" Seeing Lan Ruo, the woman was still standing by the city wall in a daze , the anger will not hit one place.

"Yes." Seeing that the maid in charge was furious, Lan Ruo restrained her expression, finally went down from the tower, and rushed to the bedroom where the master of Lingxi Valley was resting.

Like other maidservants, Lan Ruo also waited quietly outside Mrs. Gu's dormitory for her to order at any time.As time went by, the maidservants came in and out more and more frequently.Lan Ruo stared at the bloody wooden basin and towel, and was agitated by the painful cry of Mrs. Gu's wife in the depths of the hall.She looked sideways and found that the other maidservants didn't have much reaction, so she sighed.

she thinks.

Sure enough... I heard it more clearly than everyone else.

This wind...only brings those hidden and distant voices...to itself.

An hour later, Lan Ruo suddenly felt that Mrs. Gu's cries stopped suddenly!When I looked up again, I saw a red light suddenly descending from the dark sky!The red light fell straight on Mrs. Gu's bedroom, and then there was a burst of... baby crying!

The cry was clear and weak, like the day when all things were born, extremely fragile, but full of expectations.

"Sir...Your Highness?" At that moment, Lan Ruo couldn't help muttering.

"Madam...you...are you alright?" Lingxi Valley Master Chao Xie held the newborn baby in one hand and worriedly held Madam's hand in the other.

"I'm fine... Husband, don't worry." Gu Zhu's wife clasped Chao Xie's hand behind her back, and said lovingly at the little child. "Give her a name?"

"I just thought of the name." Chao Xie smiled, looking down at the green willow mark on the little baby's forehead. "It's called Zhao Yu."

"Chao... Yu?" Mrs. Gu muttered, looking up at Chaoxie, as if she was looking for an answer.

"Madam doesn't know, when this little guy was born, a group of birds in Lingxi Valley hovered in the sky, which is a rare sight that Lingxi never sees in a hundred years." Chao Xie said. "I hope that my daughter of Chaoxie spreads her wings and soars in the sky like the wings of these birds, and protects the peace of my thousands of people for thousands of years."

Just saying that, Mrs. Gu Zhu turned her head when she saw Chao Xie, looked at the child who hurried over at the door and said.

"Is that right, Chaoyang?"

"Yes." Chaoyang nodded half-understanding, but his heart was not on what his father said at all.Her pair of bright black pupils looked closely at the little baby in her father's arms without blinking.

At the age of three, she realized for the first time that her heart was beating violently.

"Little sister?" Chaoyang tentatively walked into the child and whispered.

"Yes, it's my Yang'er's little sister."

Hearing what his mother said, Xiao Chaoyang's eyes suddenly turned into crescents, and a smile burst out.

"Little sister!"

"Yes... little sister." The wife of the city lord raised her hand, touching the top of Chaoyang's head and said softly. "Chaoyang must protect my younger sister...you know. She is our soulmate...the most important 'shield'."

"Hmm!" Chaoyang listened to his mother's soft words, raised his hand to poke his sister's wrinkled little face, and answered seriously.Unexpectedly, the little baby who had never cried before was cried out with a "wow" when the sun gently touched his cheek.

Chaoyang was taken aback, and hurried forward to kiss the place where he had just poked it, and then blew twice, coaxing.

"My sister doesn't cry. Yangyang is bad. It's Yangyang's fault. My sister doesn't cry."

But the little baby didn't appreciate it, and still cried a lot.

Chaoyang stood by the bed coaxing left and right for a long time, but nothing happened, and finally grabbed the corner of his clothes and cried sadly.

"Look at the two of them." Seeing what happened to the two of them, the wife of the city lord, instead of stopping her, smiled.

Chaoxie only felt that the time was beautiful that day, his wife and daughter were there, and the warmth... was there.

Ever since Chao Yu had memories, there was a young lady named Chao Yang by her side.

If she fell down, that young lady would help her up quickly, and if she didn't have time to help her up, she would put her on the ground for her to fall down.If she was hungry, she would take out all the delicious food in her hand, not only that... she also owed herself several things inexplicably.If she was sleepy, she would struggle to get on the bed and pull the quilt for herself, and then fell asleep with herself.

This situation continued until Chao Yu was four years old and didn't have a personal maid by her side.

That little sister seemed to regard protecting herself as her pleasure, and Chao Yu was also happy to enjoy the feeling of being supported, so she simply let that idiot go on like this.

"Xiao Yu, I'm not staying." However, every time she called Chaoyang a fool, that person was always upset and explained with a frown every time.Seeing her looking into his eyes, Chao Yu said seriously. "I'm protecting you."

"You were very dumb when you were protecting me." Hearing what Chaoyang said, Chaoyu took a bite of the pastry that Chaoyang had gnawed in his hand, and said indifferently. "Stupid nerd."

Seeming to be choked by those two words, Chaoyang didn't say anything, but faced the wall with anger and didn't say a word.

"Sister?" Seeing that Chaoyang was really angry, Chaoyu came over with a smile, and called out so affectionately around her.

"There is no older sister, only idiots." In fact, when Chaoyang heard the name "sister", Chaoyang's heart itch, but he still insisted.

"I have a sister." At this time, Chao Yu would hug her from behind, then bury her head on her neck, and said coquettishly. "Sister...sister...my sister Chaoyang is the most powerful...gentle...best sister in the whole world."

This Chaoyang has been able to endure all kinds of hardships since he was a child, and he can withstand everything, but he can't listen to soft words.After listening to Chao Yu's series of words, she blushed slightly and secretly glanced sideways, but when she saw Chao Yu looking at her with a smile, she quickly turned her head away.

It took a while for Chao Yu to hear her whisper.

"It's good to know."

However, Chao Yu was not grown up supported by Chao Yang alone, that never surpassed incomparable sense of superiority has always accompanied her, until the moment she entered Lingxi School, she got a deeper level of improvement.

"Lingxi Valley has had two gods since tens of millions of years ago. Among the two gods, Mei is the god of war, with the seal of plum blossoms printed on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and the sword that kills all living beings in his hand. Liu is the shield god, and the seal between his eyebrows With the mark of Green Willow, her spirit contains the strongest shield, which can cover the entire Lingxi Valley and block all attacks."

The master of the school, with his long white beard, spoke with great interest.

"However, in the battle to defend Lingxi 500 years ago, the two gods tried their best to drive away the evil spirits who invaded Lingxi, but their lives were not long. They sealed their souls in the Lingxi Valley. After a hundred years, it will come to the world again in the form of a baby to protect thousands of people."

Chao Yu sat in the huge classroom with dull eyes, not wanting to listen to the old man at all.Her beautiful pupils closed slightly, then quickly opened, and then closed again...

Chaoyang sat behind Chaoyu, watching the man's head swaying back and forth.Finally... when Chao Yu's head was about to hit the table, Chao Yang couldn't bear it anymore, she crumpled the last page of the book into a paper ball, and threw it at the back of Chao Yu's head.

"It hurts!" After being hit by Chaoyang, Chao Yu was completely awake.She turned her head, looking at Chao Yanghuo with a righteous face, she didn't hit a single place.

"What's the matter?" Master asked, interrupted by Chao Yu's shout.

"Master, Chaoyang tore the book into a paper ball and hit me on the head." Chao Yu said.

The master leaned over to pick up the ball of paper and flattened it. Seeing that it was really the last page of the ancient history of consonance, his face turned livid and he said.

"Chaoyang, you are really stubborn and unteachable! Let the old man go out and stand!"

Seeing that Master was so angry, Chaoyang stood up aggrieved and walked out silently, and only said to Master before going out.

"Master, it's the students who are wrong, and I will never tear up the book again next time."

After finishing speaking, she walked out of the school with big strides.Seeing Chaoyang's straight back, Chao Yu could understand her grievance a little bit.

After Chaoyang left, Chaoyu felt that the school was even more empty.In this hall that can accommodate hundreds of people, only she and the master are left.The master couldn't sense Chao Yu's loneliness, so he quickly devoted himself to teaching.

"My consonance has seen five 'shields' and one 'sword' since ancient times. It is rumored that when the 'shield' and 'sword' were born, the pupils were red, and they were accompanied by strange natural phenomena. Your Highness Chao Yu, you are my consonance No.30 The shield owned by the seventh valley owner. On the day you were born, I also went to see the city wall, and those birds and red light were so eye-catching. Based on these astronomical phenomena, you must be the spirit of the past dynasties The most powerful 'shield'."

The master continued.

"My Lingxi Valley hardly needs the existence of the 'sword'. The 'sword' is a symbol of war disaster and ominous. My Lingxi Valley is not attached to any country. The Valley of Peace. But the 'Shield' is different. Although my Lingxi does not take the initiative to go to war, it does not mean that other countries will not invade. But as long as we have a shield, they... will never succeed. Therefore, a dynasty with a shield is very important to us. For the people of Lingxi, it is a symbol of absolute safety."

Zhao Yu doesn't know what sword or shield, but at this moment she only knows one thing, and that is...she is sleepy.

"There are seven levels of supervisors in my Lingxi City. The head is the city lord. There are five elders under him. The elders are subordinate to the priests... There are also many kinds of sacrifices, such as war sacrifices, spirit sacrifices, elephant sacrifices, etc... The children of the city lord also have strict levels. The young master who possesses the power of gods is called His Highness, the most precious person in Lingxi Valley, and the symbol of all power and status... just like you. The young master who does not have the power of gods is called young master, like the morning sun Shaojun, and Chaoli Shaojun who was born to the former wife, they are just like ordinary people, and they don't have any special privileges."

The master was talking about the excitement, and just turned around when he heard a "boom".Turning around again, I saw Chao Yu sitting upright in his seat, only a small patch of red on his forehead.

"His Royal Highness Chao Yu, do you have any questions?" Seeing her appearance, the Master asked.

"Yes." Chao Yu replied.

"Excuse me," said the master.

"Why is this place... only me studying?" Chao Yu asked.

"Because you are His Highness..." Seeing that Chao Yu asked such a question that has nothing to do with historical facts, the master wiped off his sweat.

"Why is Chaoyang older than me, but learning the same things as me?"

"Master Chaoyang is with you." The master explained. "When she reached the age when she was supposed to go to school, she insisted on staying by your side to protect you, so... she delayed going to school. When you reached the appropriate age, she entered the school with you."

"Okay...the last question." Seeing the comprehensive explanation of the master, Chao Yu nodded and said.

When Master heard that this was the last question, he regained his energy immediately. He looked at Chao Yu expectantly, but he listened to Chao Yu's words.

"Tomorrow...can I go to an ordinary school with Chaoyang? Just the two of us...staying here is so boring..."

"..."

When the sun was setting to the west, Chaoyang still stood straight at the door of the school until Chaoyu finished reading and came out.Hearing the sound of Chao Yu's footsteps, Chao Yang quickly adjusted her expression, she flattened the corners of her mouth, not going to give Chao Yu a good look.Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, Chao Yu, who had left the school gate, threw himself into her arms.

"Chaoyang...I want to eat chestnut cake." Chaoyang only felt that Chaoyu's voice was soft and soft, and his heart softened instantly.

"Yeah." Chaoyang replied, embracing Chaoyu.

"Tomorrow... we won't be here... Be happy..." Chao Yu murmured like this, and fell asleep in Chao Yang's arms.

"Master, class is so boring..." Seeing that Chao Yu could fall asleep standing up, Chao Yang sighed.However, she quickly put Chao Yu on her back, and staggered towards the bedroom with some difficulty. "Xiao Yu studied hard... After returning home, my sister will make chestnut cakes for you to eat."

When the master came out of the study hall, the sunset was in full bloom.

Seeing the little Chaoyang slowly leaving in the red glow with the even smaller Chaoyu on his back, he couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing.
