C9 The jing siblings(part ii)
The green clothed girl was called Jing Wuhui.
As for the naughty youth that she called Ah Yue, he was her biological brother from the same father and mother.
Their parents had died early, and they had to depend on each other for survival. Normally, thanks to the help of the village's neighbors, they could not be considered poor, but they could not be considered rich either. Otherwise, the two of them would not have risked being eaten by demon beasts and run out of the village to pick wild vegetables to live off.
It was also because of this that they met the unconscious Li Ye near the village and saved him.
These things were naturally told to Li Ye by his simple-minded brother, Ah Yue. Otherwise, Li Ye would never have understood why he was here.
However, Ah Yue was still young, there were still many things he could not explain, and Li Ye could only vaguely make out a rough outline.
All in all, this brother and sister who were having a difficult life were his saviors. If it weren't for them bringing him back to the village when he was unconscious, perhaps he would have become some sort of demon beast's belly long ago.
Of course, Li Ye did not know that the reason he was near the Bramble Village was all because of the Demon Fox Xiao Lian that was with him.
Creak.
The door was gently pushed open and the girl dressed in green walked in leisurely. She held a corner of the missing porcelain bowl in her jade-like hands. The bowl was steaming hot and the fragrance of porridge was growing stronger and stronger along with the girl's beautiful figure.
"This is the Redbud Village, my name is Jing Wuhui, and this is my brother, the Ah Yue." She continued, "Two days ago, my brother and I were outside the village picking wild herbs, and coincidentally met the unconscious you, so we saved you."
In the end, Jing Wuhui was a bit older than the Ah Yue, so with just a few words, he clearly narrated the entire matter.
Li Ye nodded his head expressionlessly, at that moment, he couldn't bring himself to feel any form of gratitude.
In order to save him, his own father had risked his life and even self-destructed to send him out of Longmen Town.
When he thought about the scene of Li Tianque's aura suddenly rising to the next level, and then self-destructing in an instant, Li Ye's heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. Even the sweet and rich rice porridge seemed to have lost its taste.
Ah Yue looked at Li Ye who looked like he had lost his soul, he secretly pulled at the corner of Jing Wuhui's clothes and asked softly: Big sister, the person we rescued is not a fool, right?
Jing Wuhui turned her head and stared at Ah Yue, she brought the rice porridge in front of Li Ye and said softly: Drink some of the rice porridge first, I'll bring you to see the patriarch in a while, what's your name? "Where is your home?"
Home? Do I still have a home?
Li Ye could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart, only to see the Ah Yue anxiously walking forward and snatching away the rice porridge that was held in Jing Wuhui's hands, "Looks like this guy is really a fool. To think that I had said so much just now, it would be a waste to give this rice porridge to him to drink. Eh? Wait, big sister, haven't we not had rice in our house for a long time? Where did you get the rice porridge? "
"Ah Yue, don't mess around!" This time, Jing Wuhui was really a little angry, "How do you usually get your sister to teach you? Have you forgotten all about it? How could you be so rude?! "
Seeing that his sister was truly angry, Ah Yue did not dare to be impudent anymore. He stuffed the porcelain bowl into Li Ye's hands and anxiously said: "Elder sister, don't be angry. Ah Yue likes to eat the wild vegetable soup you made the most. "
As he explained hurriedly, he secretly glanced at the rice porridge from the corner of his eyes. His appearance looked extremely pitiful.
The tip of Jing Wuhui's nose twitched, but she felt a slight pain in her heart. She caressed Ah Yue's face, which had obviously turned yellow from malnutrition, and said with a slight tinge of remorse: "Ah Yue, it's all because Big Sister was useless. But don't worry, Big Sister has already promised that Ah Yue will be able to drink the White rice porridge every day and won't have to eat any more of those wild vegetables anymore. "
Hearing these words, Ah Yue's face greatly changed, and instantly became deathly pale. He firmly grabbed onto Jing Wuhui's hands, and anxiously said. "No! Sister, I don't want to be separated from you! I don't want you to marry that bastard! "
Jing Wuhui gently held onto the messy dried up hair of the Ah Yue, but her heart was extremely sour. How could she be willing to part ways with his brother, who was dependent on him for life, but if she did not do this, how could she have any other choice?
"Ah Yue, this is my life, as long as you can live a good life, I will be satisfied, even if it means that I am wronged." Jing Wuhui chuckled, her tone filled with helplessness and sorrow.
Outside the window, the birds were chirping non-stop.
"I'm not hungry, you guys eat."
Li Ye suddenly stood up, placed the porcelain bowl on the wooden table, and said to the siblings.
Seeing this pair of siblings who could only be controlled and had no way of resisting by fate, Li Ye suddenly felt that he was luckier than them. At the very least, he still had a trace of worry, whether it was hatred or remembrance.
"You … Are you not an idiot? " Ah Yue looked at Li Ye and said with surprise.
Li Ye let out a long sigh of relief, instantly feeling refreshed and refreshed. Since Father was willing to put his life on the line for me, then I will live on and fulfill Father's unfulfilled last wish.
"Maybe it was before, but it isn't now." Li Ye said in confusion.
"What's your name?" "Where is your home?" Jing Wuhui turned and stared at Li Ye's skinny back and asked.
The sunlight shone through the greenery and landed on Li Ye's shoulders, covering them in a layer of golden muslin.
He did not know why, but upon seeing the scene in front of him, Jing Wuhui's heart started to tremble, as though this youth who was the same age as her was hiding a story that was even more frustrating than her.
"My name is Li Ye, I might not even have a home left …" When Li Ye said till here, his body trembled slightly, then he replied, "Even if there is, I'm afraid I will never ever go back …"
In the distance, the branches were crisscrossed, some thick and some thin. Among the foliage, a few sparrows could be vaguely seen. They chased after each other and disappeared, leaving behind faint chirping sounds.
Li Ye slightly narrowed his eyes, a hint of astonishment surfacing from the depths of his eyes. He never would have thought that the entire Redbud Village would actually be located within a towering ancient tree.
The criss-crossing branches of the towering ancient tree were the small paths between the villages. The houses were built on forked branches, and naturally, they rose and fell. The entire village was covered by a patch of greenery. It could really be considered a wondrous Peach Blossom Immortal Realm.
In the distance, two youths could be vaguely seen. One was tall and the other was short. One was fat and the other was thin.
They looked flustered, and actually sprinted towards here. One of the youth ran while shouting, "Ah Yue! Ah Yue! Rock Village's Shi Man brought a bunch of people to look for trouble with us again! "
"These bastards!" Hearing the young man's shout, Ah Yue cursed in a low voice, and then shouted angrily: "A Da! Wait for me! This time, if we don't beat down those bastards from their Rock Village, I won't have the surname Jing! "
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Jing Wuhui to react, he jumped out of the window anxiously and met up with the two young men. In the blink of an eye, he jumped into a patch of greenery and disappeared without a trace.
"Ah Yue! Ah Yue! … " Jing Wuhui was flustered, but her legs were not as strong as Ah Yue's. Just as she reached the window to give chase, she saw Ah Yue disappear before her eyes, and couldn't help but mutter under her breath: "You foolish brat! If she was weaker than them, what was she supposed to do with Shi Man and the rest? Just lower your head and give in. Just live well. Your survival is my greatest fortune … "
"Uh, don't worry, you know where they will go, right? "Why don't you and I go together so that we can watch over him? Don't let him suffer a loss." Li Ye said in a heavy voice.
