A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 147 Just come back

After another three days of travel, Li Yunye finally returned to the still prosperous Liangdu. Along the way, he had witnessed too many human sufferings, with bandits rampant and ordinary people acting cautiously. Now, sitting in the car and looking at the bustling and peaceful capital, he felt a sense of unreality.

Mu Liang was still unaware of the situation. He was extremely worried when he saw that several days had passed and there was still no news about his adopted brother. He did not dare to delay any longer and planned to write a letter to his adopted father to report the situation. Halfway through the letter, An Yun suddenly ran in with a look of joy on his face:

"Master Muliang, the Master is back!"

"What did you say? Yun Ye is back?" Mu Liang was surprised and threw down the pen in his hand. He stood up and came to An Yun to confirm again and again.

"Yes, I'm back. I came back with Lao Zhou." An Yun's eyes were red and he nodded repeatedly.

Just now, as usual, he was about to go out to the government office to inquire about the news, but he saw Old Zhou driving a carriage from afar:

"Hurry up and tell Manager Mu that the young master is back!" Old Zhou waved the whip in his hand and shouted to An Yun who was standing there in a daze.

An Yun took a long time to react, his eyes slightly red, and he turned around and ran into the house.

Mu Liang's eyes were moist with joy. He said nothing more and walked past An Yun and walked out with big strides. The big rock hanging in his heart finally fell a little.

At this time, Li Yunye had just been helped down from the carriage by Lao Zhou. Although the wounds on his hands and feet had been medicated, they had not yet healed. The slightest exertion on his legs and feet caused him to grit his teeth in pain. As he slowly walked into the courtyard, he saw a tall and slender green figure, the brother he had missed so much along the way:

"Brother Mu Liang!" When Li Yunye saw Mu Liang, his nose felt sore for some reason and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Yun Ye!" Mu Liang, who was just happy, became slightly stiff when he saw his brother crying. He hurried forward, grabbed his shoulder, checked his body, and asked nervously, "Are you... okay?"

"Brother Mu Liang..." The more Jiang Siyao cried, the more wronged she felt. She turned her head and threw herself into Mu Liang's arms, crying inconsolably, and cried out all the humiliation she had suffered under the tyranny of Hong Hua some time ago.

Mu Liang and An Yun behind him saw Li Yunye crying so heartbrokenly, their faces suddenly changed, as if they were struck by lightning. They both thought that Li Yunye was so sad because he had been forced to get married.

"You...you came back alone?" Mu Liang's face was gloomy. He glanced at the closed courtyard door, pulled Li Yunye out of his arms, and asked hurriedly.

"And there's Old Zhou." Li Yunye didn't understand what was going on, and pointed at Old Zhou while crying.

"Hehe, don't worry, Shopkeeper Mu, Young Master Li is fine, he's fine." Li Yunye didn't understand Mu Liang's reaction, but Old Zhou naturally understood, so he cleared his throat, waved his hand and smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm glad you're back." Lao Zhou's words made Mu Liang's frown relax at once. After taking a long breath, he smiled and patted Li Yunye's arm twice.

"Oh..." Li Yunye's elbow injury, which had not yet healed, was accidentally touched by his brother, and the pain made him cry again.

"How did you... get hurt?" Seeing Li Yunye's abnormality, Mu Liang asked hurriedly and concernedly. At the same time, he pulled up his sleeves. From the elbow to the bottom of his white arm, there were bruises of varying sizes and depths, as well as scabbed wounds. Mu Liang frowned in shock and anger, and then checked Li Yunye's other hand, which was also covered with scars.

Seeing that the young master had suffered so many injuries, An Yun was so shocked that his mouth half opened, and he began to blame himself again.

"Mr. Li got the abrasions on his hands and feet before I found him. He has applied medicine over the past few days." Seeing the anger on Mu Liang's face, Lao Zhou was afraid that he would be taken out on, so he hurriedly explained.

"Go find a doctor." Upon hearing that the foot was also injured, Mu Liang tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart. He turned his head and said to An Yun, then helped Li Yunye, who was still sobbing in grievance, back to the room.

Old Zhou knew that the shopkeeper Mu was in a bad mood at the moment, so he didn't plan to come forward. He turned around and sneaked back to his room to rest.

Not long after, An Yun called a doctor, who checked the injuries on Li Yunye's hands and feet. Seeing that they were only minor injuries, he took out a bottle of ointment and told him to apply it every day. He also prescribed a few tranquilizers. Afterwards, An Yun followed the doctor to the pharmacy to get medicine again.

"Puchi..." Seeing Mu Liang sitting by the bed with the ointment to apply it on himself, Li Yunye suddenly couldn't help laughing. Thinking of how he was applying ointment to Mu Liang not long ago, and how long ago, the two of them switched places. Alas, they are really a pair of brothers in distress.

"You can still laugh!" Mu Liang glanced at Li Yunye with a feigned anger, shook his head and sighed: "If your adoptive father and mother saw your injuries, they would be heartbroken."

"Of course my mother will feel distressed. As for my father, the fact that he doesn't scold me shows his love for me." Li Yunye sneered, stretched lazily with a nonchalant look, then lay on his back on the piled quilts and spoke in a sarcastic tone, with his feet casually placed on Mu Liang's knees.

"You are still young after all. When you become a father in the future, you will understand your adoptive father's good intentions." Mu Liang smiled helplessly, lowered his head to apply medicine on the leg that was resting on his knees, and advised in a gentle voice.

"Is this all you can say to prevaricate? You are also his son who lives under his high-pressure control. How can you help him to criticize me?" Seeing that Brother Mu Liang was helping Master Li to educate him, Li Yunye kicked Mu Liang's arm with some dissatisfaction and said angrily.

Yes, she is a coward who only dares to throw a tantrum in front of people who indulge her, completely forgetting that she had been timid and cowardly in public a few days ago.

"Stop messing around, I'm applying medicine!" Mu Liang was helpless again. He gently patted Li Yunye's uninjured foot and spoke in a deliberately low voice.

Jiang Siyao finally calmed down, silently looking at brother Mu Liang who was gently applying medicine to her. After not seeing him for many days, his face looked haggard and dim, and his eye sockets were sunken. Perhaps he was worried about not being able to find her and had trouble sleeping and eating. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel regretful: such a good brother Mu Liang will definitely be a good husband and a good father in the future, but it's a pity... why did my soul become a man?

"What are you looking at me for?" After applying the medicine, Mu Liang raised his eyes and saw Li Yunye staring at him intently, so he asked curiously.

"Brother Mu Liang, have you never met a girl you liked in these thirty years?" Li Yunye suddenly sat up and asked Mu Liang with a gossipy look on his face.

"It seems, really not." Mu Liang thought about it seriously, then shook his head and smiled.

"None? Not even one that made you excited?" Li Yunye was shocked, but still asked unwillingly. His sworn brother had a handsome appearance and a good figure. He was also Li Xingyuan's adopted son and was in charge of four cloth shops in the capital. These conditions were not bad, right?

"Maybe I'm used to playing tricks on people in business. I always feel that everyone I meet is a disguise. It's boring after seeing it too much." Mu Liang put away the ointment, frowned, shrugged and smiled, a hint of bitterness flashed in his handsome eyes.

"Then... do you think I'm pretending too?" Li Yunye felt guilty when he heard this. He lowered his eyes and asked nervously, a disguised appearance? Isn't this me?

"What do you say?"

Hmm? What kind of answer is that? Li Yunye raised his head speechlessly. Before he could speak, he saw his sworn brother Mu Liang suddenly looked at him seriously and said, "You have finished asking questions. Is it my turn to ask?"

Li Yunye was nervous at first, thinking that he had revealed a flaw, but then Mu Liang started asking questions about what happened after he was kidnapped. Only then did he feel relieved and told him the truth in detail without hiding anything, except, of course, the part where he was taken advantage of by that female hooligan Honghua.
