Shen Haolin has been ill for almost four or five days, and Shen Cha has also been nervous for four or five days. Now that Shen Haolin's condition has improved, she can relax a little. Finally, she no longer has to tighten the strings in her heart and can have a good rest. one time.
Shen Cha fell asleep in a daze. She had a dream about some things from her childhood, even things that she was unwilling to recall actively when she was awake.
Before being adopted by the Duke and his wife of Laozhen, Shen Cha's life was extremely difficult and tortuous, which even ordinary people from an ordinary family could not imagine. It is not an exaggeration to describe life as worse than death. Those few years were very difficult for her, and they were deeply engraved in her bones and she could never forget them.
In fact, Shen Cha thought that she was not afraid of hardship. A girl who had been struggling in the military camp for many years and defeated most of the men in the army did not achieve her current position because of her being the so-called eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace. identity of. Things in the military camp are completely different from those in the court. What matters in the court is family background, but in the military camp, what matters is your fists. As long as your fists are strong enough, who cares what your background is. Some of the chief generals of Shen's army's battalions were from ordinary families, and they could still become the chief generals of the first battalion by virtue of their military merit.
Although Shen Cha did not have the opportunity to experience the process from soldier to general, her growth path was much more difficult than this. It is said that when heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body. Shen Cha thought that she had experienced these points personally before entering the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
Until now, she still clearly remembers what Jiapingguan City looked like when she was a child. It was not as prosperous and lively as it is now, and the city walls were not as strong as it is now. There were rags everywhere. Compared with now, it looked like a war. Like the ruins behind. But even if the environment is so bad, some people living here still have fun, eat, drink, whore and gamble, and everything is no less than those in prosperous towns. Her biological parents were part of these fun-seeking bastards. They idled around every day and never knew how to work hard to support their family. All they did was hang out in various casinos from morning to night.
At that time, although Shen Cha was young, he had to do a lot. In addition to taking care of his younger brother, he also had to be responsible for some household chores, such as cooking, washing clothes, etc. Sometimes, there was no food or rice at home. With the money, she also helps the neighbor's aunt with some menial work, such as moving firewood and so on, and does what she can to earn a few copper coins. She uses the only money to buy some cheap rice and cheap vegetables. If they don't do this, their family will go hungry.
In fact, such days are completely acceptable to Shen Cha. The living standards of many families in Jiapingguan City are basically the same. After all, there have been years of war here. If the Daxia army can withstand the attacks of Liao and Jin, everything here will be better. All the supplies will be looted by the Liao and Jin people, and even little girls and boys with a certain color will be robbed.
At that time, there were almost no young and strong laborers in Jiapingguan City. What was left were the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. This directly led to the people in the city being very poor. It was normal to not have enough to eat and not to wear warm clothes. Every day Everyone has become accustomed to people dying of hunger or freezing.
It's just that in other families, it's the adults who do the menial work and hard work. There is only a few-year-old child like Shen Cha in the city who has to bear the family's livelihood, and the adults in this family are having fun in the casino. What they care about is whether their luck is good today and whether they can win money. As for the life and death of their children, it is not something they need to worry about at all.
What Shen Cha fears and hates the most is her biological parents. If this couple wins money and has a good meal outside, then their attitude towards her and her brother can be better, and their tone of voice can be considered Be gentle and you may spend the day peacefully. It would be terrible if they got angry outside or lost all their money. The first thing they would do when they came back was to beat up Shen Cha and vent their frustration. .
Shen Cha once accidentally overheard the couple's conversation. They had no intention of having a child, but they had no choice but to give birth to it. But since they had a child, life for the two of them has not been as good as before, so they think that the child is the broom star.
Since he is a broom star, it is only natural that he should vent the anger he has suffered from outside and the evil fire accumulated in his heart on his nemesis. Even if it spread to the outside, no one will say anything, but will sympathize with him. They are a couple. Thinking of this, the couple became more ruthless and intensified when they attacked Shen Cha.
Later, the target of the couple's anger was not only Shen Cha, but even Shen Jiu did not escape their vicious hands. If Shen Cha hadn't kept a close eye on Shen Jiu and stood in front of Shen Jiu every time, Shen Jiu would no longer be here. In the world, there will not be a young general in the Shen family army who is always flying and jumping, but who is extremely brave on the battlefield.
It is precisely because of this that when Shen Cha first entered the town and was adopted by the old man and his wife, his health was particularly bad. According to Jin Miaomiao and her master, Master Huilan, the child could survive. Coming down was already a miracle. There were countless festering wounds on his body, and the basic damage was very serious. Fortunately, the Zhenguo Palace brought many precious medicinal materials from Xijing. Otherwise, even he could not guarantee that Shen Cha could survive for more than a month.
Even if Master Huilan snatched Shen Cha's life back from the Lord of Hell, she would still get sick a lot in the next two years. Basically, she would have a minor illness every three days and a major illness every five days. She would have to take medicine. Just like eating, I never fail to eat three times a day. In severe cases, I have to make up for a late night snack. Fortunately, Shen Cha gritted his teeth and persevered. After several years of careful care, those old injuries and hidden illnesses disappeared. And every time she was sick, especially when she was so sick that she felt like she was going to die, her brother would always be by her side. Every time she woke up from a coma, the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was also her brother.
Until now, Shen Cha firmly believes that as long as her brother is by her side, no matter what difficulties or setbacks she encounters, she can persevere and usher in the final victory.
Just when Shen Cha was meeting her brother in her dream, Lord Zhen Guo, who had been lying in bed for several days, finally woke up.
Shen Haolin felt as if he had slept for a long, long time. Every time his reason told him to wake up, his body's instinct would make him continue to sleep. When he struggled to sit up, his body seemed to be covered by a piece of metal. The boulder was holding me down, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move. In the end, I was exhausted and had no choice but to obey my body's will and continue to sleep.
But this time, Shen Haolin finally felt that he became relaxed. The boulder on his body quietly disappeared, and his body was under his control again.
Slowly opening his eyes, Shen Haolin stretched out his hand to block the slightly dazzling candlelight. After a while to adapt, he put his hand down. He tried to sit up, but the first attempt failed, perhaps because he had been lying down for too long and not eating for several days. He took a short rest, exhausted all his strength, and finally sat up. He leaned on the bed and took a few breaths, then reached out to wipe away the slight sweat on his forehead.
Apart from not having much strength, he didn't feel any physical discomfort, but his throat and lips were a little dry and he wanted to drink some water. He habitually reached out to touch the small table beside the bed. As expected, there was a small teapot on it. It was still a little warm to the touch. It should be suitable to drink now.
After drinking all the pot of water, Shen Haolin began to look around. Although the room was not very bright, he still saw a dumpling huddled on the soft couch beside the wall. Just in this sleeping position, he You know who that person is. He was so happy that he opened the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, but his strength had not yet recovered, and it took him a long time to stand up from the bed. He held on to the bed frame and panted for a long time, before slowly and step by step he reached the side of the soft couch.
Looking at the face exposed outside the quilt, Shen Haolin sighed softly and reached out to touch his forehead. It was not as hot as expected, but instead there was a hint of coolness. He knew that he must be sick, and his illness was quite serious, so Shen Cha moved back here just to take care of himself. Moreover, judging from the tiredness on Shen Cha's face and the shadows under his eyes, he must have been taking care of himself sleeplessly for several days, which consumed a lot of energy.
Seeing Shen Cha like this, Shen Haolin felt particularly distressed. The way she looked now was almost exactly the same as when she was dying of illness when he was a child. At that time, he was particularly worried every day, worried that his sister would disappear quietly one day. In this world. Fortunately, his baby sister was very upbeat and survived the most difficult two years and became a completely different person.
Shen Haolin sighed, slowly walked back to the bed, picked up his quilt, and walked back again. He felt that with his current situation, it was very unrealistic to carry Shen Cha back to bed. Not to mention that he would fall down halfway, and he would probably not be able to even hold her. In order not to put himself in an embarrassing situation, he simply took his quilt over and slept on the soft couch with Shen Cha.
Holding Shen Cha in his arms again, Shen Haolin suddenly felt like he was in another world, as if the last time the two of them slept in each other's arms was a long, long time ago. Shen Haolin tightened his hands, kissed his lost treasure, and secretly swore in his heart that no matter what happened in the future, he would never let go of this person in his arms.
