Chu Xiangyun is actually not the bloodline of the Chu family.

In fact, no one could tell where she came from, not even herself.

She was a child picked up by the Chu family at the border, abandoned in the wasteland at the junction of the human realm and the demon realm, and dozens of miles later was the battlefield where the two sides were fighting.

According to Chu Zhao, who picked her up, when she was found, she was standing next to Lang Yuyuan, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, her slender body was shaky in the scorching cold wind, and she was only one step away from falling to the bottom.

If it weren't for the fact that she looked like a child who was not yet three years old, Chu Zhao would have thought that someone from here couldn't think of it, so she committed suicide by running here.

The moment he saw her, he didn't even have time to think about it before he subconsciously stepped forward, grabbed her by the back collar and pulled it back, and took several steps back before stopping.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that because he had tried too hard, the girl's soft neck had been strangled with a red mark, but she didn't even whimper.

He hurriedly let go of his still trembling hand, and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you okay?" Did I hurt you? ”

After hearing her voice, the girl opened her eyes, there was no glimmer of brilliance in her pupils, and her eyes were empty and unfocused. Then she stretched out her young hands and groped for Chu Zhao's face, as if she wanted to trace and remember his appearance with her hands.

Chu Zhao found that the young child in front of him couldn't see, and the action that was about to dodge stopped, knowing that he should not let down his vigilance and let strangers approach, but he still couldn't control himself from picking up a weapon.

But fortunately, the girl just rubbed his cheek, and then closed her eyes and fainted.

Chu Zhao was worried, but he still checked her a little according to his emotions, confirmed her Terran identity, and did not have any weapons or tracking objects on her body, so he carefully carried the girl back to the Terran camp step by step.

It was the first time he had embraced such a tender and soft creature, as if it would break if it was a little stronger.

Chu Zhao couldn't even bear to put her down, and a somewhat impulsive thought suddenly popped up in his mind: Since she was left here and picked up by me, isn't this destined fate?

I think...... Take her back to the Chu family and be my sister.

- Of course, it was dismissed.

Chu Zhao was scolded by his own commander, and was urgently informed by the military doctor of the army that the child was too weak and had to be sent to a hospital with better facilities for treatment.

He didn't even know her name, so he parted ways with her.

But soon, he got another piece of news.

This child has lost all memories of the past, she doesn't know her name, she doesn't know where she came from, and she doesn't know why she appeared in Langyuyuan.

Compared with worry, the first emotion that surged up in Chu Zhao's heart turned out to be despicable happiness.

But then he came to his senses, and in his heart he was ashamed, and immediately summoned people he knew, asking them to help find information about the child.

It's only been three months, and still nothing.

This may be destined by God, and in the end, this child will still belong to their Chu family.

Although Chu Zhao was on the front line, he still obtained the consent of the family elders through communication, adopted the girl, and named her Chu Xiangyun.

At the same time, because of the early death of Chu Zhao's parents, he took it upon himself to attribute Chu Xiangyun to his own family tree, and his name was written next to him.

My sister.

My sister Chu Xiangyun.

Chu Zhao couldn't help but smile as long as he thought of this, he was extremely motivated when he was training in those days.

Because he is going to support his family, he is going to support his little sister.

Chu Xiangyun looked at Chu Lanji, who was a little distracted, her fingertips were still next to Chu Xiangyun's ears, obviously it was summer but with a lingering coolness.

Chu Xiangyun tried to restrain his urge to take a picture of it, but in the end, he leaned down slightly uncomfortably.

Chu Lanji let go of his hand as if he had just woken up from a dream, revealing a subconscious smile, but he didn't know what to say.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Chu Xiangyun shook his head and said, "It's okay. Then she also fiddled with her feather pendant in Chu Lanji's movements, "This is Chu Zhao...... Brother's feather pendant, right, do you remember him? ”

Chu Lanji was surprised, "...... You know? ”

Chu Xiangyun opened his mouth and didn't speak, but Chu Lanji smiled with relief, "Yes, yes...... You were six years old at the time, and of course you will remember him. ”

Although the corners of her mouth curved upward, Chu Xiangyun always felt that her eyes were about to fall into tears in the next moment.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bit out of shape." Just for a moment, Chu Lanji put away his exposed emotions, "Will you come to me tomorrow afternoon?" ”

“…… Well. ”

"See you tomorrow, Xiangyun."

Chu Lanji waved her hand, turned around and left lightly, her thin body was gradually covered by the leaves, and from Chu Xiangyun's point of view, she seemed to be devoured.

Chu Xiangyun felt that his heart was very uncomfortable, as if he was covered by a black cloth, and he was sullen.

So she tore off her blindfold and threw away her shoes as she ran off into the distance, walking on the dirt as if she were walking on the ground.

Her steps grew faster and faster, faster and faster, and at last she leapt to her feet and landed on the tallest tree in Kexilin. She sat on the trunk of the tree, her hands around herself, as relieved as if she were back in her mother's arms.

"Of course I do."

She was talking to herself.

"I'm not a kid anymore, why wouldn't I know?"

How could I possibly forget......

- What about your own family?

*

Chu Xiangyun's life began at the age of three.

She didn't know anything about the memories before the age of three, for her, the first person she saw when she opened her eyes in this life, the spiritual power she saw, belonged to Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao's spiritual power is like the sun and the moon, brilliant, dazzling, and it is imprinted in the bottom of people's hearts at a glance, even if he closes his eyes, the glow still remains.

She didn't understand the meaning of sibling at first.

She just knew that it meant that Chu Zhao had established a connection with her, as if an invisible rope had appeared to connect the two of them. At first, when everyone knew who she was, they suddenly nodded in understanding.

- It turns out that she is Chu Zhao's sister.

Later, she got a gift from Chu Lanji, a cloth belt that could suppress the innate spiritual power of her eyes, which was a pair of blindfolds that could let her know the world, and her first reaction was to want to see Chu Zhao.

Of course, she knew she couldn't go to war, but a picture was enough.

After all, she had only touched his face, and had not yet seen what he looked like.

The photos of the Chu family were all in the album in the study, but when she ran over excitedly, she heard bursts of crying on the road.

She turned her head to see that there were so many people gathered in the lobby that she had never noticed that the air here was so thin.

A slightly familiar person saw her and beckoned her over.

Chu Xiangyun saw his eyes clearly, pitying, unbearable, and pitying.

The man said, "This is Chu Zhao's sister." ”

- "Poor child. ”

For the first time, Chu Xiangyun felt breathless because of this identity.

She didn't have to go to the study to look for Chu Zhao's photo anymore, because the black and white photo was placed in the hall, and she could see it every day, day after day.

After that, maybe because she was too young, busy adults did everything. Only in the end, in the midst of the misery, Chu Lanji personally brought her a feather pendant representing the identity of the Chu family.

"From today onwards, you will be a member of the Chu family."

Didn't I do it before?

Chu Xiangyun has an advantage, she is very good at learning and has a strong curiosity about what she is interested in. No matter how difficult it is to solve an unsolvable puzzle, she never stops looking for the answer.

One night, she came to the study alone, and the answer was clearly written on the book—

"Everyone in the Chu family will wear the same earring, which has been passed down from generation to generation. This spiritual artifact is made of the secret method of the Chu family, and the material is taken from the sub-gui bird feather, which is called 'Bu Si'. ”

"But this feather pendant is only for decoration, and it can't be taken off by non-Chu family members."

"Zigui is still crying blood in the middle of the night, and he can't call back if he doesn't believe in the east wind."

"The wanderers of my hometown, have you returned now?"

Tears soaked the pages, and Chu Xiangyun wiped his eyes a little dazedly, but the water droplets seemed to flow endlessly, dripping and connecting into a string.

Originally...... That's what tears are.

……

"Are you crying?"

"Who?" Chu Xiangyun got up in a panic and kept scanning the surroundings, but she didn't notice anyone, she immediately pulled off the blindfold, only to find a small figure under the table.

"You finally see me."

The little guy was gray-brown all over, with oval ears, a long tail hanging down from the ground, and the hair on his body looked a little sparse, still in his infancy.

"Are you ......" Chu Xiangyun tied back the cloth belt, looked at it again, and said hesitantly, "Are you Shuoyan Mouse?" ”

"You!" The gray little animal opened its small eyes wide, raised its small paws and pointed at Chu Xiangyun viciously, as if it was too angry to speak, and then said after a sigh of relief: "I'm not a creature like Shuoyan rat!" You see it clearly! ”

Chu Xiangyun leaned closer, stroked its fur with the palm of his hand, watched it fall comfortably, recalled the spirit beast illustrated book he had seen, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I know, you are a star flying squirrel!" ”

"What?" Unexpectedly, the other party looked incredulous, "You can see it clearly!" I'm a bird of bliss! ”

“…… Birds? Chu Xiangyun blinked in confusion, does the Spirit Beast Illustrated Book have this animal?

And don't all birds have a pair of wings and fly in the sky?

Chu Xiangyun looked at the gray little guy who was pacing angrily on the ground again, although she didn't believe it in her heart, she decided not to argue with it, she was going to leave the study.

But she didn't expect the other party to let her go, shouting loudly: "Wait! Wait for me! ”

Chu Xiangyun didn't want to pay much attention to it, but thought that the spirit beast illustrated book said that Shuoyan rats feed on books, in case this guy would not be good at gnawing the books in the study later, it would be better to have a good relationship with it.

So she stopped and asked, "Is there anything else you have to do?" ”

"You haven't answered my question yet." Speaking of this, it unexpectedly squirmed, "You just ...... Are you crying? ”

Chu Xiangyun's emotions had calmed down at this time, so his tone was calm: "I think it should be." ”

The mouse didn't seem satisfied with her answer, but instead of picking on the, he followed her words and asked, "Why are you crying?" ”

"Why are you crying?"

Chu Xiangyun repeated its words blankly, and replied after a moment of silence: "I don't know either." ”

"Why do humans shed tears?" She asked rhetorically.

Instead, the mouse was overwhelmed by her questioning, opening its mouth in confusion and slapping its tail on the ground, spitting out an answer.

"Because humans have hearts."

Without waiting for Chu Xiangyun to ask, it continued as if it had known her question for a long time: "You want to ask why human beings cry when they have a heart? Because the heart is a very fragile thing, it will hurt if it is hit by an external force, and it will die if it is stabbed by a sharp weapon. ”

"Not only that, but humans also have something called feelings, which can also hurt the hearts of human beings, can make them feel heartache, and even die of heartbreak."

"Because of pain, human beings shed tears."
