When I woke up again, I was awakened by a banging on the door.
I moved slightly, and the pain from the muscles in my body made my brain wake up instantly.
The bones in my body seemed to have been broken apart and reattached, and there was no part of my body that was not in pain from head to toe.
I gasped and opened my eyes.
What caught his eye was Shuo Bai's enlarged handsome face. He lay on his side next to me, holding his face in one hand and looking at me.
It was night, and the moonlight poured in through the window and sprinkled on Shuo Bai's face. His porcelain-white face seemed to glow in the room, and his black eyes seemed to hide thousands of stars, filled with broken light.
The extremely sick look he had before was gone, and now he exuded a noble sense of satisfaction, like a lion that had just eaten its fill, and the cold aura on his body had softened.
It seems that the effect of dual cultivation is good, his injuries are almost healed, and now I feel more like the injured person!
I just don’t understand why everyone is going through the same thing, why I feel like I’ve lost half my life, but he is becoming more and more radiant.
Seeing me staring at him without speaking, Shuo Bai's eyes paused slightly, and then his eyes slowly moved down, sliding over my chin, my neck, and landing on my chest...
When I noticed where he was looking, I came back to my senses instantly, screamed and quickly pulled the quilt to cover myself.
Shuo Bai's eyebrows bent imperceptibly, and he raised his eyelids to look at me, "People outside are here to see you. You go out and take over the business."
I nodded, reached out and pulled over the clothes scattered nearby, and then looked at him awkwardly, my cheeks burning.
"Grandpa Xianjia..."
"Call my name." Shuo Bai interrupted me.
"Shuo...Shuo Bai," just saying a name made my body heat up. I looked at him embarrassedly, "Can you close your eyes? I need to get dressed..."
Hearing this, Shuo Bai raised his eyebrows, "Can't you watch? But last night I not only watched, I also touched and kissed..."
"Ahhhhh!" I was so embarrassed that I almost exploded and yelled a few times randomly to interrupt Shuo Bai's words. Then he quickly put on his clothes, jumped off the ground and ran outside.
Shuo Bai's hearty laughter came from behind, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
When I ran to the main room, the night wind blew, and the heat in my body subsided a little.
I took a deep breath, calmed my mind, and looked at the person.
The visitors are Mr. and Mrs. Liu Erzhu from our village. They live on the front street of my house. They are distant relatives to my family. According to seniority, I will call him second uncle.
At this moment, Aunt Liu was sitting at the door of my house, slapping her thighs and crying, "Wealth is my lifeblood. I am just a child. I beg Auntie to call Xiao Ning out and let her save our family." Fugui, if something happens to my Fugui family, I won’t be able to live anymore...I can’t live anymore..."
"Her second aunt, shut up first!"
My grandfather interrupted Aunt Liu's crying and said, "If something happened to your family, if you didn't go to see Mr. Lin, why did you come to my house to make trouble? My Xiaoning doesn't have the ability to save your precious son's life. You go ask someone else.”
"Uncle, please don't hide it. My niece established a hall and enshrined the family immortal. It has spread throughout the village."
Liu Erzhu said, "Uncle, don't worry. I can't let Xiao Ning help my family in vain. I've prepared the red envelope. Please call Xiao Ning out quickly. Our two families are still related. Wealth also calls you grandpa. You can really do it." Are you watching your child die?"
Shuo Bai was absolutely right, he was really looking for me.
I stepped out of the house. When he saw me coming out, Liu Erzhu's eyes lit up and he shouted to me excitedly, "Xiao Ning, something happened to your rich brother. Go rescue him quickly. He is haunted by a ghost. Only you can save him now, and my second uncle is here to kowtow to you..."
As he spoke, Liu Erzhu was about to kneel down in front of me.
He is an elder, how can I accept his kneeling? I hurriedly walked over and supported Liu Erzhu, "Second uncle, I know that your family is in trouble, and I will take care of your family's affairs."
Hearing this, Aunt Liu stopped howling, raised her hands to wipe away her tears, and praised me as a good child.
I ignored Aunt Liu's compliments. I actually didn't like her very much. She was very patriarchal. When I was young, she often persuaded my mother and father to have another son.
Later, when I was twelve years old, something happened to my family. She even persuaded my grandma and my father to throw me away because I was a disaster. Because of what she said, our two families had fallen out long ago. Although we are distant relatives, we rarely interact with each other.
Her preference for sons over daughters was not only to persuade others to have sons, but she herself also suffered a lot in order to give birth to a son.
Her first two children were both daughters, the eldest daughter Liu Zhaodi and the second daughter Liu Laidi. After having two daughters, she did not dare to give birth to her third child. After all, the Liu family was not rich and could not support so many children.
She wanted to know the gender, and if she was a daughter, she would abort it. But the hospital doesn't examine men and women. At this time, I don’t know where the Liu family found a fortune teller. The fortune teller predicted that her fifth child would be a boy.
The Liu family believed such a ridiculous statement.
Aunt Liu really had two babies in a row. She didn't give birth to the baby until she was pregnant with the fifth baby, and it was really a boy. That is Liu Fugui who is in trouble now.
Liu Fugui is eight years old this year. He has been pampered and spoiled since he was brought up. He is not only playful but also very annoying. He has been raised like a naughty child.
After recovering my thoughts, I asked Liu Erzhu, "Second uncle, what happened to brother Fugui? Please tell me the story in detail."
Liu Erzhu said for a while, I know the whole story, and the story is roughly like this.
The accident happened three days ago. That day, as usual, Liu Fugui ran out to play after school and never came home. After dark, Liu Fugui's eldest sister, Liu Zhaodi, went out to look for him.
I went to the houses of some classmates who usually had fun, but Liu Fugui was not there. Only after asking at the last time did I find out that after school, these students secretly ran away to play in the Houshan White Tiger Temple.
Everyone in the village believes in the White Tiger God, and every household instructs their children not to play in the White Tiger God's temple. These children were afraid of being scolded by their families, so they didn't say anything when Liu Erzhu first came over. It wasn't until Liu Erzhu got angry that one of the children told the truth.
They ran to the White Tiger Temple to play hide-and-seek, and Liu Fugui hid. These children never found him. They thought Liu Fugui had gone down the mountain and went home first, so they went home.
When Liu Erzhu heard that it was already dark, his precious son was still alone in the temple on the mountain. He didn't dare to waste a second and immediately went up the mountain.
Liu Fugui was found under the altar table at Baihu Temple. Fortunately, nothing happened to him and he went to school as usual the next day. However, something unexpected happened at night.
In the middle of the night, Er Aunt Liu was awakened by the sound of rushing water. If she listened carefully, she could hear the sound of tiny footsteps coming from the courtyard, as if someone was walking on tiptoe.
Aunt Liu Er thought there was a thief in the house and hurriedly pushed Liu Erzhu awake.
The two put on their clothes, and Liu Erzhu used the door bolt as a weapon. Aunt Liu quietly opened the door and looked into the small courtyard through the gap in the door. With just one glance, Aunt Liu screamed in fright. , and sat down on the ground.
I looked at Liu Erzhu's face intently. He seemed to have thought of some terrible scene.
His face turned slightly pale and he swallowed before continuing, "The one who is walking on tiptoes in the courtyard is Brother Zhao. Your rich brother is standing by the well, fetching water. He is an eight-year-old child and has never been allowed to do so at home. He has done heavy work, but he can easily pick up a bucket filled with water, and then hold his head up to the bucket to drink water. His belly... His belly is as swollen as a pregnant woman, and it looks like it will burst. Now. Xiao Ning, you must save your rich brother."
As you can imagine, under the pale moonlight, Liu Zhaodi was walking back and forth on tiptoe, and Liu Fugui, whose stomach was about to burst but was still holding a bucket and drinking water, it was quite scary for these two siblings to stand in the courtyard. of.
