Chapter 326
Shen Jiao didn't want to listen to him nagging about that.
Her heart ached. Her good spirit was gone.
After all the effort, all she had left was a dilapidated house that was about to collapse, a few granaries, some food and drink, and oh yes, the biggest gain was the spiritual spring that was called the treasure.
Shen Jiao had originally placed high hopes on it, truly believing it to be some kind of treasure that could cleanse the bones and marrow, transform one completely. But Shen Wuyong said, "It's not as good as you think. It's just sweet and has some medicinal properties, but not much. This spring was found by their first head, and Xuanhu Hall was built near the spring, making it convenient for boiling medicine and drawing water. It's called a treasure because of rumors spread by patients. People who can't afford medicine think this spring water is extraordinary and that drinking it will cure all their illnesses. In fact, it's the doctors of Xuanhu Hall who actually cured those patients."
"Ah..." Shen Jiao said in disappointment. "Then why did Shen Yinyin steal it? What made that Cui guy so angry? Water is everywhere in Jiangnan."
"If you need it, keep it. Wouldn't you be angry if your things were lost?" Shen Wuyong said, "Besides, I heard that they lost this spring, and they had to walk several miles more to get water. Later, they re-directed the water, and that solved the problem. How could I not be angry?"
This reason does... make some sense.
Shen Jiao: "...Then I return them?"
There's no use for her keeping it anyway.
"Even if you return it, you can't take it away. Just keep it and pretend it never happened."
"Then how do I explain this to Doctor Cui?"
People came here to catch the traitor and look for the treasure. Now the traitor is dead and the treasure is gone. How can they be happy?
Don't be impatient and hand her over again. Shen Jiao doesn't trust the character of this family of three.
Shen Wuyong said nonchalantly, "Big sister died from a divine punishment, struck by lightning. What can we explain?"
Shen Wuyong just handed the body over.
Doctor Cui's face didn't look very good, but he finally gritted his teeth and admitted it. He spoke very politely, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Shen Gu and Qu Rou still looked sad.
Xu Rong's crazy mother didn't react at all. She listened to them chattering endlessly, frowning and raising her finger angrily: "Shh! Stop making noise, Ah Yin is sleeping. If you continue to be so rude, I'll ask Senior Brother Fenghe to beat you up when he comes back!"
She held Shen Yinyin in her arms as if nothing else was happening, humming a nursery rhyme.
That's nothing.
The outrageous thing was that Shen Yinyin, who had been dead for half a day, suddenly opened his eyes and called out in a hoarse voice: "Mother."
Then he closed his eyes and never opened them again.
Shen Jiao felt very familiar with this scene... If her guess was correct, the one who just woke up was the real Feng Yinyin, right?
Unfortunately, her injuries were too severe to survive.
Xu Rong said softly, "Hey?", her eyes seemed a little dazed and confused, but the next moment she swayed her body, patted her daughter, and began to hum.
She allowed her daughter to be taken away, and in the end, the body was not put into the coffin, but she carried it into the carriage instead.
After sending the Xuanhu Hall people away, Shen Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, but then he hesitated, "Shen Wuyong, do you think...will Xu Rong come back for revenge?"
"No, she doesn't have the time." Shen Wuyong's throat seemed to be struck by lightning, and it was hoarse than usual. He covered his chest and coughed twice, then wiped the dark purple blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.
Shen Jiao: "What did you do?"
"I just gave them a small gift, so that they wouldn't have so much free time to go to other people's houses and ask for things."
What gift could Shen Wuyong give? It would most likely be Wang Gu.
Shen Jiao: "You are such a bad person... you are so evil that you are oozing with evil."
Jiangnan is already chaotic enough, and he wants to make things even more chaotic. Besides, it's far away from here, so if something happens, they won't be able to deny themselves of it.
"But at such a distance... can you still control them?"
Shen Jiao asked curiously.
Shen Wuyong answered simply: "No, I gave them up."
Wang Gu still finds it a little hard to accept.
Shen Wuyong told Shen Jiao that Wang Gu was a narrow-minded person. He could accept the death of adults and young eggs, but he could not accept them being thrown away in vain. It made him uncomfortable every time.
Shen Jiao was quite happy to hear this: "Serves you right."
She said teasingly, "Are you missing your big sister now? If she were still here, maybe she could help you."
Shen Wuyong: ...
"Sister still talks too much."
The retribution for talking too much was that after Shen Wuyong climbed out of the poison pool wet, he once again rudely occupied Shen Jiao's soft bed.
He wrapped himself in her quilt, curled up on it, and fell asleep like that. He could obviously use his spiritual power to dry it, but he insisted on getting Shen Jiao's quilt wet.
Is this something a human can do?
What was even more hateful was that he even started to feel disgusted, mumbling in his sleep, "It's cold...it's too wet..."
Then his voice became clearer, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Sister, change the bed for me."
It's rare for him to be a human being. He didn't directly control Shen Jiao, so would Shen Jiao listen to him?
"Dream on, there's everything in dreams."
"oh."
He responded and then fell asleep...
Shen Jiao:?
The sun hasn't risen in the west yet, and Shen Wuyong has changed his personality. Is he the kind of person who will change for the better?
Shen Jiao thought for a moment, pulled away the wet quilt, and covered him with a dry one. As for the mattress under him, Shen Jiao didn't care.
She can't do this kind of caring work.
Shen Wuyong seemed ill. This time, the backlash wasn't severe enough for his weapons to escape, but he looked even more miserable than usual. His hair was a mess, his face was red, and his mouth was dry and cracked. After waking up, his fever hadn't healed, and it had gotten even worse. Shen Jiao kindly asked him, "Do you want me to see a doctor?"
Shen Wuyong pressed his painful Taiyangxue and said angrily, "Get out of here!"
That little noise...
He screamed like a dead duck with its neck being strangled, and even with all his strength he could only make a faint sound.
Shen Jiao almost laughed out loud: "Okay, dumb, I'll leave now."
He doesn't want anyone to care about him, and Shen Jiao doesn't want to pay attention to him either.
Since Shen Yinyin was not around and Shen Wuyong was not keeping an eye on her, Shen Jiao simply chose a courtyard in the city lord's mansion to live in. It didn't matter if no one gave her a key. She could climb over walls and jump through windows, and she was very skilled at stealing food from the kitchen.
When you have nothing to do, you can enjoy the flowers in the garden. Collect the most beautiful ones in your spiritual altar, and pick a bunch of ordinary ones and take them home to put in a vase.
In just seven days, she had destroyed the garden like a disaster.
Shen Gu and Qu Rou endured it again and again, but finally had her arrested and scolded.
Then Shen Gu asked coldly, "Where is Wuyong? Why doesn't he discipline you properly?"
Shen Jiao shrugged nonchalantly: "Maybe he died of illness, don't you know?"
Shen Gu and Qu Rou really didn't know.
Look at this loving family...
Shen Jiao: It’s another day that makes me want to laugh when I talk about family, hehe.
