Chapter 22: A burden wherever you go



Yuan Nan'an felt like she was about to sink to the bottom of the water several times. Fortunately, the training she had received in the past few days had some effect. She put in a lot of effort and rescued her brother from the bottom of the lake.

When she reached the shore, she had no strength left. Xiaobai came over first and bit Yuan Musheng's sleeve, and together with her, they dragged their brother back to the shore.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and Yuan Nanan was shivering all over.

The eldest brother did not respond, and she did not have the strength to move him another step.

"It's too cold outside. Big brother will freeze to death if he lies here!"

Xiaobai suddenly grew bigger again, and without caring about anything else, he dragged Yuan Musheng into the house.

There was a thick layer of snow on the ground that had not been cleared, so there wouldn't be any scratches if I dragged it this way.

Seeing this, Yuan Nan'an trembled and went to pick up Yuan Zhizhi first.

In just a short while, a lot of snow fell on my little sister.

She trotted into the house, but it was also very cold and there was no warmth at all.

Yuan Nan'an looked around and saw that the windows were broken in several places, and the northwest wind was blowing in. There was not even a charcoal fire in the room.

Yuan Musheng was lying on the ground, his handsome face was pale and his body was wet.

Yuan Nan'an didn't care about himself, he stumbled to his side, and shouted tremblingly: "Brother! Brother! Wake up!"

The people on the ground didn't react at all.

Yuan Nanan touched his face and then his hands, and his whole body was cold.

"What should I do?... Someone come quickly! Someone come quickly!" She was just a child and had never seen such a scene before. She was at a loss for a moment.

[Hurry up and take off my brother's wet clothes, and wrap him in a blanket to keep him warm!]

After hearing his sister's voice, Yuan Nanan finally reacted. She tried to untie her brother's clothes with trembling hands, but she couldn't do it, not knowing whether she was cold or scared.

She looked around and saw a pair of scissors on the table, so she picked them up and cut Yuan Musheng's clothes into pieces.

"Brother! Hold on! You can't die... Wuuuuu..."

After cutting the clothes into pieces, Yuan Nan'an pulled the sheets off the bed and wiped the water off his brother's body. Then he wrapped the quilt around him tightly.

After doing all this, Yuan Nan'an lay down beside him, sobbing softly.

She tried to calm herself down.

Mother is not at home now, and my younger sister is still here. She can't leave casually, let alone go to find grandmother and father.

But what should I do, brother?

What should I do if I can’t save my brother?

Thinking of this, she whimpered softly, holding Yuan Musheng's hand and breathing on him continuously: "Brother! Brother, wake up! You can't die... What will we do if you die?"

She didn't notice that Yuan Zhizhi, who was lying beside her, was rummaging in her left wrist again, and took out a golden fruit the size of a cherry and stuffed it into Yuan Musheng's mouth.

The fruit melted in his mouth and was directly absorbed into Yuan Musheng's body.

Yuan Musheng's face immediately turned rosy and had some color.

Yuan Zhizhi tilted his head to observe the changes. After doing all this, he lay down on the ground, gasping for breath.

I'm so tired! I'm so sleepy!

Xiaobai noticed that something was wrong with her and lay down beside her, allowing her to lie down using his furry body as a cushion.

"Brother, please wake up soon... If you die, who will support mother? Don't you know that father has a concubine and several illegitimate children, and he wants to kill us and mother... If you die, mother and I will all die..." Yuan Nan'an cried so hard that he was out of breath, and his voice, which had just recovered a few days ago, was a little hoarse again.

Yuan Musheng had just regained consciousness when he heard this chattering.

What kind of talk is this? "Dad has a mistress," "Several illegitimate children," "He's going to kill his mother"...

Yuan Musheng felt his mind was still a little unclear, and he recalled what happened before:

He didn't know who pushed him into the lake, but was rescued by Nan Nan when he was dying.

He slowly opened his eyes and spoke with some difficulty: "Nannan, don't cry."

Yuan Nan'an stood there in a daze, and when he looked up, he saw that his elder brother had opened his eyes.

She was so excited that she threw herself on him: "Brother! Are you awake?!"

"How's it going, big brother? How are you feeling? Are you still cold?"

Yuan Musheng moved his body. He didn't feel cold, nor did he feel weak at all after falling into the water. Instead, he felt his whole body was warm and full of energy.

But he was wrapped tightly in the quilt and was now pressed down by Yuan Nan'an, so he felt a little breathless.

But he said nothing, just lay quietly on the ground with a very dull expression, as if he didn't care about anything at all.

Yuan Nan'an got up from him, his face still covered with tears. He hadn't had time to change his wet clothes, and his body was shivering unconsciously from the cold.

"A-choo!"

"A-choo!"

Yuan Nanan finally couldn't help but sneeze, and Yuan Zhizhi beside him also sneezed.

It was only after hearing these two completely different sneezes in succession that Yuan Musheng realized that there was someone else in the room.

He turned his head and saw that Yuan Nan'an didn't care about him first, but picked up something beside him. Perhaps he realized that he was wet, so he had to put Zhizhi aside and pat the water droplets that had melted from the snow on her body.

Yuan Nanan asked Yuan Zhizhi to lean on Xiaobai, as Xiaobai's body was warm and could help keep her warm.

"Brother, this is my little sister. Have you ever met her? She's my fourth sister, Yuan Zhizhi!"

"Look at her, she's so cute and looks just like her mother. You'll definitely like her!"
