After Yuan Nan'an left, the whole house fell into silence, just like it had been for many years before.
Yuan Musheng was already used to it.
But today, in this dead silence, there was something strange.
He heard a snoring sound coming from the bed. He turned his head and saw the pink little ball sleeping on his bed with her legs spread out.
He also hums and makes baby sounds from time to time.
He stared blankly at this so-called fourth sister.
She does look a lot like her mother, and somewhat like herself as well.
Yuan Musheng lowered his eyes. He had not been exposed to the world outside the hospital for a long time.
I didn't know that I had such a fourth sister.
But what did that have to do with him? He was just a useless person, and he should just rot here quietly.
…
Perhaps because he had been lying on the ground in the same position for too long, he felt a little uncomfortable and moved his body slightly.
Waves of numbness spread throughout my body, gradually spreading from my upper body to my lower body as he moved... and finally to my legs...
An incredible expression gradually appeared on his face.
Can you feel your legs?
He tried to move his legs with a skeptical attitude, and when he moved, he actually felt pain in his knees!
…
Yuan Nan'an quickly ran back to his yard, changed his wet clothes, and tried to move a pot of charcoal fire in the yard amid the shocked expressions of the maids.
But the charcoal brazier was too hot, so she looked around the house and found the new gloves her mother had made for her.
The maid stopped her and asked, "Second Miss, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Yuan Nan'an held the charcoal fire, and his fierce eyes scared the maids.
She was clearly only an eight-year-old child, but at this moment she was so imposing that she completely intimidated the maids around her:
"You all stay here. You are not allowed to follow me, and you are not allowed to go out! No matter who asks you, you are not allowed to tell anyone!"
Then she left the yard without looking back and ran towards Jingsi Pavilion.
On the way back and forth, the cold wind chilled her whole body, but she also thought of some things.
How could the servant who served my eldest brother have been missing for so long? And how could my eldest brother, who was unable to walk, have fallen into the water? And it happened while my mother was out.
It's no wonder Yuan Nanan thought too much. She has been precocious since she was young and has experienced many ups and downs. Her mind is no longer the same as that of an ordinary eight-year-old child.
Especially these days, the family has undergone drastic changes. All kinds of evidence show that my grandmother and father, who are my closest relatives, can kill my mother, myself and Zhizhi, so how could they let my eldest brother go?
In this mansion, she dared not trust anyone except her mother and Zhizhi!
When Yuan Nanan returned to Jingsi Pavilion, Xiaobai was still lying at the door. Her first look was at the place where Yuan Musheng was lying before he left.
But that place is empty!
Yuan Nanan's hand shook and she almost knocked over the brazier she was holding. Fortunately, she managed to keep her composure and put the brazier on the ground.
Then he went to rummage through the empty bedding: "Brother?! Where's brother?"
"I'm here." A voice came from behind. Yuan Nanan turned around and saw his elder brother sitting on the bed in his underwear, panting.
Yuan Nan'an didn't realize anything was wrong, so he quickly walked over and asked with concern, "Brother? What's wrong with you? Do you have a fever?"
Yuan Musheng supported his legs with his hands, he looked down at his legs, his eyes full of disbelief.
It all seemed like an illusion.
He had just walked here from the other end of the house step by step using his legs that had been useless for many years!
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yuan Nan'an didn't know what had happened, so he could only observe the situation in the room.
The servant didn't seem to have returned yet, and there was no one else in the room except Zhizhi.
Only then did she realize one thing: Brother, how did you get to the bedside?
Yuan Nan'an was about to ask when Yuan Musheng extended his hand towards her. He tried his best to control his voice, wanting to confirm once again that it was not his illusion:
"Nannan, come and give big brother a hand!"
Yuan Nanan stretched out her hand, and her elder brother supported her with his hand as she tried to stand up.
She subconsciously held her breath, and a possibility flashed through her mind: Could it be that the eldest brother can stand up?
Yuan Musheng's thin body was half pressed on Yuan Nan'an. He was a head taller than her, but Yuan Nan'an still felt that his elder brother was light and fluttery.
The next moment, Yuan Musheng really supported Yuan Nan'an and stood up.
Yuan Nan'an opened his mouth slightly, his voice trembling: "Big... Big Brother... Can you stand up?!"
Yuan Musheng didn't say anything. He tried to move forward cautiously.
Then, continue with the other leg.
Yuan Nan'an held his breath and dared not breathe.
Until Yuan Musheng slowly took several steps, let go of Yuan Nan'an, and took several steps on his own.
Yuan Nanan, who witnessed this, almost jumped up. She jumped in front of her eldest brother, hugged him around the waist, and cried with joy:
"Brother! Brother! Your leg is healed!"
Yuan Musheng himself couldn't believe this was true. He tried his best to keep steady, tears streaming down his face.
Five years! No matter how I poked them with needles, roasted them with fire, or applied ice to them, my legs were numb.
How could he stand up all of a sudden today?!
He pinched himself hard to prove that this was not a dream.
Seeing that his elder brother was still a little unsteady, Yuan Nan'an quickly helped him to the bedside: "Brother, you just recovered, don't walk too much, rest for a while."
[Wow! After a good sleep, Big Bro is ready to go!]
[It seems that my spiritual fruit is very useful! ]
Yuan Muchen heard these two sentences suddenly, but they were not the voice of his second sister.
He looked up and saw that the little ball who was sleeping on the bed had woken up at some point and was lying on the bed, staring at him with a pair of big round eyes.
[Hehehe, look at the big pot! The big pot looks like my mother, much better looking than my scumbag father!]
Yuan Nan'an also heard Yuan Zhizhi's thoughts. Seeing little Zhizhi staring at her eldest brother in bed and grinning foolishly, she also smiled:
"Brother, look, Zhizhi likes you very much!"
Yuan Musheng sat on the bed. He had just recovered and couldn't walk too much. His legs were swollen and painful now.
But he didn't feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, the pain reminded him that he had feeling in his legs.
Seeing that he was sweating and panting, Yuan Nan'an started to help him wipe the sweat off his face and pour him some water to drink, running around busily.
Yuan Zhizhi watched and sucked her little finger.
[Sister Goose is so kind~ It's just a pity that the old witch poisoned her throat. Not only will Wei Tianci and Wei Jiaojiao send her to the enemy country to marry, but she'll also be thrown into the enemy camp and tortured to death... How tragic, wuwuwu...]
