A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 220: Hints from Dreams

On a snowy day, Si Yao walked slowly alone on the white mountain road. It was so quiet that there was no sign of birds or animals. She could only hear the crunching sound of her feet in the snow. Si Yao was puzzled as to why she was in this unfamiliar mountain road. Was she lost? Where was the path? Did she lose contact with him? But when she looked around, the mountains with horizontal peaks and side ridges did not look like the mountains on the border of Mucheng.

As Si Yao continued to walk forward in confusion, a strong smell of blood blew in her face with the cold wind. She withdrew her thoughts and saw that the snow in front of her had suddenly turned blood-stained, with corpses and bones everywhere. Although this horrifying scene was not the first time Si Yao had seen it, her stomach began to churn again.

Just as Si Yao was about to turn around and leave, she caught a glimpse of a young man in brocade clothes kneeling on the ground in the sea of ​​blood, holding a bloody and dead old man and crying in despair. Seeing someone alive, Si Yao, as a doctor, instinctively wanted to save him. She endured the increasingly strong smell of blood and ran towards the young man in brocade clothes. But no matter how fast she ran, he was like a mirror between her and her, and the distance between them remained the same.

What's going on? Si Yao stopped panting, she watched the desperate and helpless young man but could do nothing.

"Since Young Master Li is so sad, why don't you go down and accompany Master Li?" At this time, a one-eyed strong man riding a black horse appeared behind the young man in brocade clothes. He smiled evilly and drew the bow in his hand.

The young man in brocade clothes also stopped crying, raised his head tremblingly, but his face made Si Yao open her eyes wide.

"Jiang Siyao." Looking at the face that was clearly dressed as a young master and looked exactly like her own, Si Yao was puzzled but still called out subconsciously.

Then she saw the one-eyed strong man riding the black horse pointing his bow and arrow at Jiang Siyao. Siyao ran forward again. She wanted to save her, but she remembered that there was an invisible gap between them that could not be crossed.

“Jiang Siyao, be careful behind you! Run!” Siyao stopped and shouted breathlessly at Jiang Siyao on the other end, but the other party seemed not to hear her voice and was still crying desperately and helplessly.

With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew off the bow and headed straight for Jiang Siyao.

"Jiang Siyao..." Si Yao sat up in shock, cold sweat on her forehead. She panted slightly and glanced around the quiet room, then closed her eyes to calm herself down.

It turned out to be a dream, but this dream made her feel so real. But no matter what, Si Yao was still glad that it was just a dream. She let out a long sigh, got up, took the towel on the basin rack to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead, then put on a thick coat and pushed open the window.

It was just after dawn, and the sky was getting light. Si Yao looked thoughtfully at the snow-capped mountains in the distance: Why did I have such a dream today? Was it a hint from the dream? Where was the mountain path in the dream? Why did Jiang Siyao appear there? And why was she dressed as a young master? And she looked exactly like me? The villain in the dream just now called her Young Master Li... Young Master Li? Is that her identity here? Why is she a young master when she has a similar face to me? Did she change her gender here? And there are so many people with the surname Li in the world, where should I find her?

Although Si Yao had a lot of questions in her mind at this time, compared to the previous cluelessness, now she finally had some clues and directions. And the last scene in the dream, since she didn't see Jiang Siyao being shot by an arrow with her own eyes, it seemed that there was no danger, and her life should not be in danger.

"Junior sister? Junior sister?"

During breakfast, the two senior brothers and sisters who got up early took a rest in the tea room after breakfast. Xiu Ming was talking to his junior sister when he saw that she was looking at him but her mind was wandering, so he raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"What's wrong, senior brother?" Si Yao, who was in a daze, came back to his senses and subconsciously asked Xiu Ming in front of him.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me so early in the morning? You didn't even respond when I talked to you?" Xiu Ming shook his head and smiled. If they hadn't always treated each other as siblings, there might have been a misunderstanding.

"Senior brother, how many wealthy families with the surname Li are there in Xiyue country?" Si Yao did not think much about what his senior brother said, but still asked seriously.

Based on the fine clothes and beautiful jewelry Jiang Siyao wore in the dream, Si Yao roughly guessed that she was either rich or noble at that time.

"Ahem, your question really stumps me." Xiu Ming almost choked on his tea when he heard it. Although he was puzzled, he still thought about it seriously and continued, "Although I know a few wealthy businessmen with the surname Li, but Xiyue Country is so big, how can I know them all?"

"That's true." Si Yao nodded disappointedly, thinking that this question was indeed difficult for his senior brother. Not to mention that he was just a senior brother who only managed a medicine shop, even the King of the Sect might not be able to answer it immediately.

"Why are you asking this for no reason?" Xiu Ming asked curiously.

"I won't hide it from you, Senior Brother. I want to find someone. Can you help me keep an eye on him when he is out in the future?"

"Looking for someone? Who?"

"He looks exactly like me, sir."

"Ahem...Young Master?" Xiuming was shocked again.

Si Yao nodded seriously.

"Uh... in the future I... I will pay more attention to it." Xiu Ming then avoided his gaze and just nodded in agreement.

After hearing that there is a man in this world who looks exactly like his junior sister, Xiu Ming doesn't dare to look at her face anymore. Even if they are siblings, it is difficult for them to look exactly the same, right?

"Thank you, senior brother." Seeing her senior brother's reaction, Si Yao lowered her head and smiled helplessly. Although she also felt it was strange, the face she saw in her dream was indeed the same face as her own.

"That man is your twin brother? Why have I never heard you mention that you have a brother before? You just asked about your surname Li. Could it be that your surname is Li? But that doesn't make sense..." Xiu Ming was also confused by his junior sister's words. He asked a series of questions and finally got confused himself.

"This matter is a bit complicated..." Si Yao frowned slightly, not knowing how to explain it to his senior brother.

"Okay, if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. Now if you want to find someone, I'll help you find one." Seeing the embarrassment on Si Yao's face, Xiu Ming quickly waved his hand and said with a smile.

In Sanxiu Pharmacy, everyone's past is painful, so he and his master never like to be too curious about other people's past.

"Thank you, senior brother." Si Yao smiled gratefully at Xiu Ming.
