If he hadn't seen someone he knew, Ah Yu wouldn't have followed the person away defenselessly, leaving not even a mark.

The hardships of the day began with encountering the robbers who blocked the road, and ended with the carriage suddenly losing control and being left in a deserted place, full of thrilling encounters, which made people unable to control the exhaustion emanating from the bottom of their hearts after they were relieved.

The people who took Ah Yu and Deng Shuang arranged them into two comfortable rooms, and although there were no maids waiting for them, they had everything they should prepare.

After taking a bath and washing away her tiredness, Ah Yu still couldn't help but be tired, and when she returned to the room, she didn't even have to eat, so she fell asleep directly.

On the contrary, Deng Shuang, whose forehead injury has not yet healed, is still in good spirits.

She saw that Ah Yu went to rest, and after thinking about it carefully, she didn't say anything more, and went back to rest by herself.

The people on the other side who were waiting for them to come over for dinner waited for a lonely time.

In the early morning of the second day, Ah Yu woke up from a dream, and when he opened his eyes, he suddenly found that he was sleeping in a strange room, and almost screamed.

The room was empty, and the memories of her bedtime came back to her mind, and she patted her heart and silently exhaled a cloudy breath.

Speaking of which, the person who took them away from the grove earlier, Ah Yu met the other party by chance, knew that he was familiar with his grandfather, and had heard his brother tell the other party's identity, and knew that the other party should be a person who could be trusted, so he left with the person.

Of course, there is a more important reason.

The man's name was Deng Ao.

If nothing else, he should be Deng Shuang's brother.

Deng Shuang stood in the open space in the courtyard, looking up at the papier-mâché lantern under the eaves, the handwriting on it had long been dimmed and turned into a puddle of ink.

She heard the movement of the door behind her, turned back to Ah Yu at the door and said, "Are you up?" ”

Because there was no maid on the side, there was not even a bronze mirror in the room, so Ah Yu arranged her hair with her hands at random, and walked out of the door a little embarrassed.

I was thinking of going out to ask where I could get water for washing, but I didn't expect to see Deng Shuang.

"Aunt Deng also got up so early today!" Ah Yu glanced at the direction of the sunrise, she got up earlier than usual today, but she didn't expect Deng Shuang to get up earlier than her.

Deng Shuang nodded, before he could speak.

In the direction of the courtyard gate walked an old woman, gray-haired, carrying a bucket of hot water.

After Ah Yu and Deng Shuang washed up separately and walked out of the room, they learned that the owner of the room had sent someone to invite them over for breakfast.

The dinner I had agreed to last night was later short of people, and there will be no similar situation for today's breakfast.

So much so that the servant sent by the other party stood outside the courtyard in a daze, and whispered from time to time to urge.

The words are all cautious, but the urging words are not less than much.

Deng Ao waited on the main seat, the square table in front of him was already full of food, although because of the remote location here, the types of food on the table were a little small, but they were all the result of careful selection, and they were still very good-looking in appearance.

I heard that many large families pay attention to food and silence when they eat.

But Deng Ao doesn't seem to pay attention to these.

"You girls look very well-behaved on weekdays, but when you can't see it a little, one can cause trouble more than the other." He first glanced at Deng Shuang, nodded to her, and then turned to look at Ah Yu: "I remember that you are the little girl of the Wen family!" Why don't you stay in Kyoto and run to this kind of ...... Here comes a place where there is no grass. ”

In fact, he would prefer to use the word "birds don't poop", but considering that little girls are more vulnerable, he still uses some elegant words!

Ah Yu subconsciously wanted to refute his words, and when they came, there were tender green weeds all the way, and there was no grass anywhere.

But looking at Deng Ao's extremely serious expression, she inexplicably thought of her father and brother who were far away in Kyoto, and she didn't dare to speak for a while.

In front of her parents and brothers, she promised that she would obediently obey Guan Yi's words, even if she was going to play outside for a long time, she would definitely put her own safety first.

But didn't she expect this to happen!

She didn't want to be separated from the guards around her, so she was picked up with Deng Shuang.

After saying Ah Yu, Deng Ao looked at Deng Shuang again, he moved his mouth, and didn't say a word for a long time, only sighed deeply.

After a long time, he said in a muffled voice: "What kind of trouble are you making here?" ”

He is now working for the emperor, not long ago he got a secret order, left Kyoto to Yunzhou today, before he settled down in Yunzhou, he got the news that his sister disappeared suddenly, and left a pool of blood in the land temple before the disappearance, and it was visually in danger.

It's just that if he is present at the moment, he can't find time to find his sister.

Before he could write a letter about his trust friend's investigation of his sister, he saw her during the daily inspection, which was really a coincidence.

Deng Shuang was stunned for a moment, the brother in her memory has always been high-spirited, when he was young, his father said that he was talented and intelligent, and he must be able to inherit his father's business.

At the beginning, my father also said that those who study should not only be good at learning, but also have a good body, and even specially found Mr. Wuxue for their brother and sister.

At that time, she was better than her brother.

But seeing his brother nesting in the deep mountains and old forests, if he wasn't worried about scaring other girls, he wouldn't even shave off the beard on his face.

At the first glance of seeing him yesterday, Deng Shuang didn't even recognize people, and almost thought that he had met bandits again, so you can imagine how bad Deng Ao's image is now.

I don't know what he thinks in his heart, yesterday he was wearing a black dress, he didn't look like a good person, and today he wrapped himself in a scholar's uniform, with that big and three thick appearance, it looks more like he is ill-intentioned.

Seeing that Deng Shuang didn't speak for a long time, Ah Yu gently held Deng Shuang's hand, raised his head and said to Deng Ao: "Don't talk about Aunt Deng like that, Aunt Deng herself doesn't want to be like this." ”

Although the name evoked by Deng Ao's mouth was not the same as Ah Yu's impression, it was not an important thing.

She pursed her lower lip and said, "When I saw Aunt Deng in the Land Temple, she was already injured, and there was a lot of blood left on the wound on her head, and because of the injury to her head, Aunt Deng forgot a lot of things, so don't talk about Aunt Deng like that." ”

said that Deng Shuang was injured, but after thinking about it, Ah Yu still didn't say anything about Deng Shuang's hysteria.

After all, in the eyes of people nowadays, suffering from hysteria is about the same as a madman, even if hysteria is an indirect onset, in the eyes of others, he is still a madman.

How many people directly discard people because of hysteria in their families, no matter how kind they are, at most they only enclose people in a small room, cutting off the opportunity for people to go out, and saving the tongue of explanation.

She didn't know what Deng Ao's reaction would be, but she was now used to thinking of the worst.

It's not a bad idea to be more cautious.

Of course, if Deng Ao's appearance was as clear as the scholar's uniform on his body, maybe Ah Yu could give him a little more trust, but who made him look like a strong man with five big and three thick!

The mind of the person of Yan Control is so simple.

looks like a bad person, and she doesn't know much about the other party's personality, so naturally she doesn't have to trust too much.

If Deng Ao knew that he was ostracized for this reason, he would definitely be very aggrieved.

If it weren't for the fact that most of his current tasks are carried out in secret, and he doesn't need to appear in front of people on weekdays, he wouldn't be so passable, and he doesn't care about his appearance at all.

In fact, looking at Deng Shuang's appearance, you can know that he, the brother of a fellow mother, is not much worse than if he is not good-looking.

Deng Ao stood up, silently walked to Deng Shuang's side, stretched out his hand to brush away the broken hair on her forehead, and then saw the wound that had not completely healed, and the pink scar looked inexplicably hideous on the smooth and flawless skin.

I can't say how these wounds were caused, but looking at the marks left by the scars, you can also know that the wounds were still very large.

Deng Ao gently stroked the wound, his heart full of bitterness.

His sister seems to have had no better luck since she met the royal man.

Before the emperor withdrew his will to give marriage, his sister happily told him about her sweetheart, and in her mouth, her sweetheart was simply a perfect person, which sounded inexplicably false.

Just give affection, and the little girl who falls into it can't see the abnormal.

No matter how many years have passed, Deng Ao always remembers that day, when his sister happily went out to the appointment, and when she came back, her face was full of tears.

She said that her sweetheart concealed her identity, saying that the man's kindness to her was a lie from beginning to end, and when the mystery was revealed, she realized that she was the only one who gave her all, and there was really nothing left.

Later, my sister gave birth to a boy.

It's the kid of the negative man.

When the child was first born, he was red all over, and his little face was wrinkled, which did not look very good.

The mother-in-law who delivered the baby said that children are like this, and after a few more days, they will look good when they are opened, and she also said that the child looks like a sister.

Deng Ao didn't see what the child looked like when he grew up.

In fact, after giving birth to a child, Deng Shuang behaved very strongly, and she would no longer always mention King Le like she did during pregnancy, nor would she grit her teeth and resent her sincerity for paying her heart wrongly, she seemed to like her child very much.

It is precisely because of this that Deng Ao will feel at ease to leave his sister at home, and he himself will go out to find an errand.

After all, only the two of them remained in Kyoto in the end, and the others returned to their ancestral land with all their money.

Deng Ao and Deng Shuang, who did not have the slightest progress, were completely sitting and eating nothing.

Although the family left them a large sum of money when they left, they always had to make more preparations to be able to deal with the accident calmly.

No one knows that Deng Shuang, who is full of laughter on weekdays and often holds her children and shouts her baby, is actually far from being as strong as she seems on the surface.

On a rainy night, the subordinates in the Deng Mansion had already rested early.

Deng Shuang, who was supposed to be confined in the room, inexplicably changed into black clothes, held a sleeping baby in her arms, and left the house in a grand manner.

Except for herself, probably no one knows where she went that night, and where she left the child she had worked so hard to give birth to.

It's just that after that, every year on a rainy night close to Qingming, she will always sneak to the White Horse Academy outside the city.

Dressed in black and covered with a mask, she burned incense and sacrificed in the corner of the academy, paper money burned under umbrellas, and the flames in the embers were wet with rain, as if to say that what she did was useless.

Deng Ao thought about his sister's hysteria attack in those years, except for the first time she lost the child, it was under their defenselessness, and most of the time there were people by her side. It's just that as she continues to learn martial arts day and night, there are almost no people who can stay by her side without being discovered.

He could have done it himself.

But he has to do things for the emperor on weekdays, and he doesn't have much time to spare.

Fortunately, when my sister had hysteria, she was looking for a child who may no longer exist in the mountains, and rarely met outsiders, but she also hid the news very well.

Now that she has a head injury, I don't know if it will cause worse effects.

Deng Ao thought carefully about the recent weather conditions, if his subordinates did not miscalculate, it would rain in a few days.

When the time comes, if you look closely, you can probably do it!

He sighed softly, "You suffered! ”

If the person who deceived his sister is not a member of the royal family, even if he is the heir of a high-ranking official and nobleman, he can rely on his own merits to get justice for his sister.

However, that person is the king of music, and the child raised by the same mother today, if not the same mother, is better than the same mother.

Ah Yu held her cheek with one hand, quietly looking at the two brothers and sisters opposite, and wondered if if she was wronged outside in the future, Brother Ah would comfort her like Deng Ao comforted Deng Shuang.

She lowered her head and sneered at her whimsy.

Brother will definitely be able to live a long life, and the length of her life has long been fixed, and an unequal life is not worth investing too much expectation.

Because those expectations are destined to be unfulfilled.

Guan Yi on the other side kept looking for traces in the grove all night that might have been left by Ah Yu and others, and almost touched the correct path several times, but at this moment, it was far more than Guan Yi and his party who remained in the grove, as well as the people brought out by Deng Ao.

Because when he led people away, Deng Ao didn't ask about the specific situation, and he didn't know that Ah Yu still had followers behind.

Therefore, the order he left behind was to confuse the eyes of future generations, and not to let people catch up in a short time.

His subordinates obviously carried out this order very well, and led Guan Yi and his party to the wrong path.
