Chapter 299 Friendship (2)
Chapter 299 Friendship (2)
The closest ones can be siblings or enemies. --Inscription
Never thought that there would be such hostility between them.Never thought that such a scene would happen.
The young Ximen Mo knew nothing, and could even be said to be pitifully stupid.
No one warned him where he could and couldn't go.When he was suffering from insomnia, he quietly walked alone at night, and before he knew it, he walked to the door of Ximen Yan's room.
Ximen Yan has never needed anyone's service, and has always lived alone.When he saw that even his beloved mother often visited her room, Ximen Mo couldn't bear it anymore, and he knocked on the door of Ximen Yan's room.
But he didn't know that the sound insulation effect of that door was too good, because he was short, he couldn't reach the high doorbell button.
But after staying in the back kitchen warehouse for so long, some lockpicking skills learned from the servants who sometimes have dirty hands and feet can still come in handy.
He carefully pried open Ximen Yan's door lock and entered quietly.The door closed very quickly, almost the moment he let go, it closed again immediately, as if a monster with a huge mouth of the abyss had been deliberately putting him in and closing it.
Ximen Mo tossed and staggered along the way for a long time, and finally pushed open a half-hidden square door, and within the tulle inside, there was a faint puff of water vapor, and then he heard the girl's melodious singing .
And just as he approached, the people inside just turned off the water, stood up and opened the curtain to come out naked.
"You... how did you get in?" Ximen Yan pulled the towel aside and wrapped it around himself.
"It turns out...you are not big brother...but, sister...sister?"
Ximen Yan seemed to be fooled by his name. To be honest, she has been disguised as a man for so many years, and no one has ever called her by a girl's name, not even a joke.
But the younger brother in front of him, who has not experienced much in the world, after seeing this scene, the first thing he did was not to report her and expose her, but to call her "sister".
"Hush~" Ximen Yan put his index finger to his lips and said to him, "Call me brother, not sister."
"Okay, okay." Ximen Mo nodded repeatedly.
"How will you be here?"
"I... I'm here to find you."
"Looking for me? Why?"
"Looking for you to play, let's play hide and seek together? No one has ever played with me before."
"Then why do you want to play with me?" Ximen Yan asked him while changing clothes behind the screen.She couldn't see him bowing his head in serious thought, but heard him say: "Because the teacher said in class today that brothers are related by blood, and they are better than good friends. Brothers must have the same blessings." It's hard to be the same. Is the teacher right?"
"...That's right."
"Miss, can you play with me?"
"I told you to call me brother!" Ximen Yan let out a bit of displeasure, but Ximen Mo was quite frightened.Ximen Mo held his head, and said aggrievedly: "Okay... I got it, sister... Ah no, brother, brother, I got it."
"That's enough, let's go." Ximen Yan came out from the screen, and Ximen Mo, seeing the necklace hanging around her neck, was already so surprised that he couldn't look away. "You like this? Here you go."
Ximen Yan took off the necklace on his neck indifferently, and handed it to him.
Ximen Mo couldn't believe his ears, he asked her again, and said, "For... for me?"
"Yes, anyway, I have a lot of this kind of thing. Those people are flattering. Once they see that I am missing something, they will definitely rush to send it to me."
"It's really good." Ximen Mo couldn't help muttering softly.
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing, just, I envy you."
Hearing his words, Ximen Yan didn't feel very happy and proud, but said tiredly: "There's nothing to be envious of. If I could, I would envy you even more."
"why?"
"No one noticed, and no one noticed."
During this period of time, Ximen's eldest son and the third son got very close, and the matter also reached Mrs. Ximen's ears.
For this reason, Yue Lousha specially called Ximen Yan into the room once, Ximen Mo was eavesdropping outside the door, Ximen's family came and went, almost no one would pay attention to this insignificant little kid, even the maid They feel the same way.
"I heard that you have gotten very close to the third child recently."
"Third brother, I have indeed negotiated. After all, we are brothers. After the relationship is established..."
"In the future, there will only be disadvantages and no benefits!" Yue Lousha interrupted her sharply, and said, "What is your identity and what is his identity? Are you not clear in your own heart? I told you a long time ago, and People in Ximen seldom negotiate, so as not to lose their tongues. Don't you know your current physical condition?"
"Because of this, I have been lingering for so many years and have been living cautiously. Am I not worthy of having friends? You don't let me know people outside, saying that you are afraid of showing your flaws. But why don't you Let me deal?"
"I did it for your own good. Do you know how miserable we will die if your identity is exposed? Can't you be more careful? What kind of bet do you have to take your life?! Now he treats you as a brother , when he knows that you are..., maybe he will reveal this matter to show off in front of your father. At that time, the two of us will definitely be cast aside by the whole clan, and we will die without a place to die !"
"Needless to say, from now on, I will stay away from him." Ximen Yan knew about Yue Lousha, and if this matter could not be resolved as she wished, then only she would personally send him hands.
But will she do it?After all, Ximen Mo is also her precious son.
However, Yue Lousha's cruelty and cold-bloodedness are well known among Ximen.
Since then, Ximen Mo has never spoken to her again, and sometimes, he just glanced at her from a distance.Just a glance, and the greetings are silent.
Slowly, after realizing that she couldn't help herself, she found out from the teacher that she had been secretly concerned about her grades all along.
Therefore, he studied hard every time afterwards, just hoping that she would be happier when she knew her grades.
Later, he changed his nest again, from the warehouse in the kitchen to the newly built stable. Next to the stable shed, there was a hut that was randomly built with only a door and concrete.
I heard that there were some extra materials during the construction. In order to save the cost of transportation, people directly built a house here.
In fact, it was the result of Ximen Yan secretly paying and bribing the housekeeper.
It is much easier to live here than in the previous warehouse, and no one has come to trouble him. Most of the time, he hides in the room, closes the door, and secretly studies hard by himself.
After he knew a little more, he was also responsible for helping to take care of the horses in the stables.
Every time Ximen Yan was going to participate in hunting or riding and archery training, he would come here to pick up the horse himself, but he didn't dare to go forward, even when there was no one around.
Before you know it, staying away from her has become a habit.
At night, the cold wind made it a little chilly. He heard the rustling footsteps, and wandered around the stables. After a while, he got closer.
After staying near the stables for a long time, his hearing has become extremely sensitive. He likes to listen to the sound of horses running. From the mouth of the young lady and the young master, I heard some gossip words.
He could hear the hooves of Ximen Yan's mount, because her horse was very special. In a riding and archery competition, she was injured and one leg was shot by the opponent's arrow.
To use the distressed words she said when she visited the horse when she came to the stable, she didn't know whether the arrow was aimed at the horse's leg, or whether it wanted to shoot at her leg.
He was tired of hearing the open and secret struggles among Ximen.
But he didn't expect that one day, someone would plot against her.
Hearing the footsteps of the two people leaving secretly, he went into the stable in the dark, and found her favorite horse. Sure enough, the grass that the horse ate was drugged.He was really worried, and he didn't know why she was involved in other things again.
That night, he made a very risky decision. He wanted to disguise himself and follow her to protect her.
Once this kind of thought sprouted, it was uncontrollable and difficult to stop.He stole a dress from the servant's quarters, and later, in a trap in the hunting forest, he rescued her.
"Don't...don't let him go, he knows, my...secret." At that time, she, who was almost unconscious, grabbed the hem of his clothes with one hand and said to him.
knew?her secret...
Ximen Mo looked at the direction in which the man was fleeing, and grasped the blade that had been broken off from the sickle in his hand, his gaze was cold.
At that time, I didn't know what to do, but when I saw her looking helpless and helpless, I couldn't help but throbbing in my heart.
She is not an indomitable elder brother, but she has been working hard to do it all the time. In secret, she cares about her own affairs, but she can't do anything for her.
"Don't try to run!" He roared angrily, and caught up with the man. The man was injured, his hair was disheveled, he grabbed his collar and fell hard on the ground, his face was already painted. .
He knew him, he was the second son of the most annoying baronet, and of course that man also recognized him.
"It's you? Young Master San, hahaha... so what if you catch me? From the very beginning, I wonder why the eldest son's door is always locked. It turns out that she is just a tomboy. Don't worry , I will definitely inform the Earl about this matter..."
"you shut up!"
"You dare to hit me? Do you know who I am?"
"Funny, I don't need to know."
"You... What are you doing? Hey! Ximenmo, if you dare to attack me, I, even if I lose my tongue, I will try my best to expose your lies!"
Ximen Mo's eyes became more and more gloomy.
"Yeah, then, let's kill you directly."
"Don't come here... um..."
The knife pierced into the flesh, the man looked at him in shock, the hand that had just been raised, before it was too late to point out the person in front of him, it had already dropped powerlessly.
"You killed him?"
"Otherwise I can't just let you go." Ximen Mo said hoarsely.
When Ximen Yan escaped from the trap, there were already large and small wounds on her body. She barely supported herself, walked up to Ximen Mo, glanced at the person lying on the ground, and said, "This matter... ..."
Ximen Mo replied tacitly: "Only Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, and I know."
"Um……"
Since then, Ximen Mo has often appeared by her side to protect her.
Until, because of different reasons, Mrs. Ximen sent the four killers who had been lurking beside her for a long time to capture her...
