Chapter 184
Chapter 184
"Woo woo..." On the dilapidated country road, a silver-gray puppy ran and jumped and rushed into the blue brick courtyard at the end of the village.
Shen Xia heard its barking and suddenly came out of the kitchen. She squatted down and touched the puppy's neck, "Is it my second brother and the others who are back?"
"Woo woo..." The little gray dog kept rubbing Shen Xia's legs and biting the corner of her pants, wanting to take her to see it.
"Ah Shui, we'll wait at home." Shen Xia looked at the puppy, but her eyes were not focused. "I changed the water in the basin. Go drink it first."
Patting Ah Shui's head, she groped her way back to the kitchen and continued to boil water while waiting.
Hearing the sound of Ah Shui drinking water at the kitchen door, Shen Xia was distracted for a moment.
She was originally one of thousands of ordinary people, loved by her parents and brothers. After graduation, in addition to working in the forest contracted by her family, she joined the forest search and rescue team. During a rescue operation, she grabbed a teammate who was about to fall off a cliff, but she herself slipped down.
At that time, she tried desperately to grab the vegetation on the stone wall...
When she regained consciousness, she was wrapped in warmth and soon returned to the world.
At that time, I only heard the noise vaguely and then fell asleep. I woke up from hunger several times and there was no one around me. Fortunately, I was picked up by my parents and saved my life.
Four years later, my three brothers and sisters brought me and trekked back to Beijing from the border. After burying their parents' ashes, they returned to their hometown to settle down and live.
At first, she thought it was because she was a baby and couldn't see clearly. It wasn't until she grew to one year old that she realized she really couldn't see.
My parents once took me to see the best doctors at the border, but they all said there was nothing they could do.
After returning to Beijing, my brother went to see a doctor, but there was no progress.
Alas, Shen Xia sighed deeply. He had never met his biological parents in this life, and he didn't know what happened to his parents in his previous life. Fortunately, he had his brother, so they would have someone to rely on in the future.
Feeling Ah Shui lying at her feet, she stroked its fur, closed her eyes and looked at it with her mental power.
I saw Ah Shui leaning obediently at my feet, his silver-gray fur covered with a lot of dirt, which he got on the road.
Shen Xia helped it brush off the dirt on its body and couldn't help but sigh. Although she couldn't see, God was kind to her.
When she was three years old, she was carried by her eldest sister to the border town to welcome her parents and elder brother back home. She could actually see in her sleepy state.
Although she could only see it when she closed her eyes and concentrated, she was very satisfied.
What's more, there was an extra small space in his head, like a sapling he had grabbed when he fell off a cliff in his previous life.
This tree looks very similar to the Sichuan pepper tree, with long barbed thorns and only one red fruit, which is shaped like a round thatched hut.
Shen Xia’s space is this thatched hut, where she can store things and keep them fresh and of good quality.
Perhaps because he noticed that Shen Xia was looking at him with her eyes closed and concentrating, Ah Shui raised his head and whimpered twice.
Shen Xia tapped its forehead and thought: This is not a dog, it's clearly a wolf cub.
On the day the four brothers and sisters moved back to the countryside, they found that there was a little guy occupying the kitchen as a bedroom.
Now, it has become a member of this family, but it is only growing older and not taller.
Hearing the sound of boiling water, Shen Xia stopped lighting the fire, stood up and opened another stove next to him. The rice porridge was also cooked.
When she closed the lid on the pot, she heard the sound of carriages and horses outside the yard.
Shen Xia hurriedly closed her eyes and went out of the house, and saw her second brother leading the carriage into the gate. Her eldest sister jumped out of the carriage. She only had time to pat her head and hurriedly lifted the door curtain.
The second brother Shen Heng and the soldiers who came with him carried the eldest brother Shen Li into the room.
Shen Xia saw that his eldest brother's clothes were torn and there were patches of dried blood on them.
She stepped forward, but her arm was grabbed by an aunt from the same village who followed her. "Axia, what's wrong with your brother? Why is he bleeding so much?
Didn’t he just raise the general flag in the Beijing camp?
We have only had peace for a few years, are we going to have another war?"
Shen Xia frowned and listened to the whispers of several neighbors.
"You look seriously injured?"
"What on earth is going on?"
"This Li Ge'er finally got a good job by borrowing his father's name, but now..."
"I heard that some time ago, a prince went into the mountains to hunt. Could it be..."
"What are you talking about? Go home and cook, or go to the fields to weed and loosen the soil." Chief Tu shouted and drove away the neighbors who followed him.
He turned around and glanced at the silent Shen Xia, sighed, and walked towards the main house. After a while, he came out with Shen Heng and several soldiers.
When Shen Xia heard the soldiers saying goodbye to her second brother, she closed her eyes again, reached out to the house, and Ah Shui followed her and jumped over the threshold.
"Sister, how is brother?" Seeing her elder brother lying unconscious on the bed, Shen Xia grabbed her elder sister and asked.
Shen Huan wiped the slightly red corners of her eyes, helped her sit down and said, "The doctor said that my brother has injured his internal organs and can no longer stay in the Beijing camp.
Just sit still and I'll go get some hot water and boil some medicine."
Having said that, he walked away lightly, pulling the corner of the thin quilt with him.
Shen Xia stood beside the bed and called softly, "Brother..." Apart from some first aid methods, she had no medical skills and could only watch.
At this time, Shen Heng pushed the door open and came in. "Axia, their general said that big brother recovered quickly from his injuries, but the care in the camp is not as good as at home, so they notified us."
"Did they process the resignation documents for my eldest brother?" Shen Xia asked, thinking of her eldest sister's words.
Shen Heng shook his head, "No, they said they had invited an imperial physician to treat him, and the little prince even sent some medicine and silver.
Just now, General Bai also left some silver and said he would go to them if he had any business. "
After a pause, he reached out and touched his eldest brother's forehead, "He said that if it weren't for the eldest brother standing up to protect him, the tiger would have bitten the little prince and they would have died."
"Brother Heng, come and get some hot water for big brother to wash." Shen Huan's voice came from outside the house.
Shen Heng went out silently. Shen Xia closed her eyes and looked at her elder brother. In a trance, she saw her elder brother's eyelids twitching.
The next moment, Shen Li opened his eyes, which were full of redness, and he saw the girl of eight or nine years old beside the bed at a glance.
Is it a human? Is it a demon?
When he was about to make a move by forming the magic formula, he found that he had no spiritual power and could not use his magic power.
Just as Shen Xia was about to open his mouth, he suddenly sat up and grabbed Shen Xia's neck with his right hand like an eagle's claw.
Shen Xia's first reaction was to clamp his arms with both hands. When the stool was overturned, A Shui also pounced on the bed and scratched him.
Just as Shen Li was waving Ah Shui away and tightening his right hand, Shen Heng came in with water, "Brother, what are you doing?"
He threw over a bucket of hot water, and Shen Heng rushed over and forcefully pried Shen Li's hands apart.
Shen Xia was breathing heavily, and the stool under her almost tripped her. She felt something was wrong, so she closed her eyes and saw her elder brother and second brother wrestling with each other.
The second brother, who was only thirteen years old, had been thrown onto the bed and strangled by the eldest brother.
Shen Xia didn't care about anything else and rushed forward and slashed at the back of his brother's neck with a knife.
Shen Li stiffened and then fell limply beside Shen Heng.
"Second brother." Shen Xia reached out and pulled Shen Heng, who was gasping for breath.
The noise in the room startled Shen Huan in the kitchen. She ran in and saw water vapor all over the floor and an overturned bucket and stool.
