Chapter 157 Do you think this is possible?
"Sister-in-law?"
"Second Aunt?"
…
A familiar voice came from her ears, and Zhang suddenly woke up from her hazy dream. She opened her eyes and looked blankly at the concerned gazes in front of her.
"Second Aunt is awake!" Ruan whispered softly.
Zhang was in a trance. She didn't know what was going on when a handkerchief gently brushed across the corner of her eyes.
Zhang finally met the worried eyes of her sister-in-law Zhou.
"Sister-in-law?"
Zhou said softly, "Well, what were you dreaming about? Why are you crying all the time?"
Zhang was slightly stunned.
Is she crying?
In front of the drawing board, after a moment of trance, Tu Huan was forced to come out of Zhang's dream!
It was getting late and the dew was heavy. The women of the Xie family gathered around Zhang and showed their concern for her. However, it seemed that Zhang could not stop crying and she just kept crying without any response from them.
"well."
Zhou held her hand tightly, not knowing what to say to comfort her in the middle of the night.
Zhang just said, "I dreamed of Shenxing again."
This one sentence made the women of the Xie family almost cry together.
Old Madam Xie had been sleeping for a long time when she was awakened by the constant whispering beside her. She caught a glimpse of her daughters-in-law looking unhappy, and her confused thoughts were suddenly awakened.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhou heard her mother-in-law wake up behind her, and hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She turned around and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you, mother?"
Old Madam Xie shook her head, glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law, Zhou, then at her second daughter-in-law, Zhang. Seeing that her eyes were the reddest among the others, the old lady pondered for a moment, then said, "You are... dreaming about Shenxing again?"
The old man's words made Zhang cry again on the spot.
She has always been so strong that she can endure any kind of pain, but she can't listen to such a simple sentence.
Old Madam Xie carefully untied the sleeping bag, left the sleeping Rui Ge'er inside, zipped it up, and then stood up and walked to the side of the few people.
Zhou was afraid that she would catch a cold at night, so she hurriedly asked Ruan to bring the warm blanket given by the house god to cover Madam Xie.
The old lady woke up, and the women of the Xie family seemed to have found their backbone and gathered around her unconsciously.
Not far away, Xie Wuying was still awake. Seeing that the women were still awake and chatting in the middle of the night, he quickly took out some more heating pads and candies from the bottom of the box and handed them over.
"Sixth Brother told me that if I feel unwell, I should eat more sweets."
After leaving his things behind, Xie Wuying considerately went back quietly.
On the way back, he couldn't help but glance at the place where Xie Yuchuan was resting. When he lay down, Xie Wenjie beside him asked without opening his eyes: "What happened to the old lady and the others?"
Xie Wuying is so young, what does he know?
He scratched his head and shook his head, "I don't know. When I went there, the old lady and the aunts all had red eyes."
Xie Wenjie opened his eyes in the dark night, and what he saw was a sky full of stars.
"Did they cry?"
"Yeah, it seems so."
Xie Wenjie stared at the night sky, "Aunt and the others have always been very strong."
“Even the strongest people have sad moments.”
"Um."
Xie Wuying slept next to his brother, with his arms folded behind his head, and watched the stars with him.
It was late at night, and Xie Wuying, who was usually open-minded, felt bad seeing the women crying. He turned his head and glanced at Xie Wenjie who was standing next to him.
"Huaizhang, do you think we can all reach Laozhou safely?"
Xie Wenjie was a little surprised when he heard this. He turned to look at him and said, "Why do you ask that? Doesn't our Xie family have a family god?"
Xie Wuying nodded.
"I know we have a family god."
"Then why do you ask?"
Xie Wuying didn't know why he suddenly thought of this. He thought silently for a while and said, "When I was a child, I would go to worship the gods with my parents. I would always ask, 'The gods hear so many people praying for blessings every day, when will they appear to save all living beings?'"
Xie Wenjie laughed, "Didn't your aunt and uncle scold you?"
"Hey, children speak without restraint." Recalling his childhood memories, Xie Wuying also laughed. He bent over and glanced at the women in the back who were chatting. Seeing that they were chatting happily, he relaxed and lay down, saying, "My mother said that immortals don't come down to earth easily."
"Um."
"Unless there's a major disaster."
Xie Wenjie: “…”
Xie Wuying turned to look at him, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Xie Wenjie thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to hear more details."
"Maybe I'm just imagining things." Xie Wuying suddenly changed the subject and stopped talking.
Xie Wenjie gave him a thud and kicked him. "If you have something to say, just say it. Stop hesitating."
Xie Wuying readjusted his posture, bent his knees and crossed his legs, staring at the starry sky for a long time before finally speaking: "I was just saying it casually. If you just listen to me, I'm so happy that the family god has appeared. I really didn't mean any other things."
"Hurry up and speak! Stop talking so much nonsense." Xie Wenjie wanted to hit him.
“Actually, I’ve been wondering about one thing.”
"What's the problem?"
Xie Wuying pondered for a moment, then said, "Why is it that over the past hundred years, the family deity has only appeared during the conquests of our great ancestor and the exile of our Xie family?"
Xie Wenjie lay beside him without saying a word.
Xie Wuying glanced at him and asked in a low voice, "Have you never been curious about this?"
Seeing that his brother didn't say anything, Xie Wuying let out a long breath, puffed out his cheeks and thought for a while before continuing to speak.
"For over a hundred years, only our Xie family's ancestor and our sixth brother have been able to communicate with spirits. One appeared when the family was prosperous, and the other appeared when the family was declining. Let me tell you something from my heart. Ever since our family spirit appeared, I've been feeling strange inside and out."
I couldn't find the right words to describe that feeling.
Xie Wuying finally used a particularly simple phrase to describe it: "Anyway, my mind is always a mess, with a lot of ideas."
Xie Wenjie suddenly asked, "What's your idea?"
"I have all sorts of ideas."
"For example?"
Xie Wuying said casually: "For example, our Xie family is blessed by the gods, so why should we be afraid of him?"
"You're talking nonsense." Xie Wenjie interrupted him, causing Xie Wuying to burst into laughter.
Xie Wenjie followed his example and folded his arms behind his head. Surrounded by his family members, the two of them spoke in low voices. Xie Wenjie only interrupted some of Xie Wuying's "inappropriate" and dangerous words, but did not say anything else.
Xie Wuying, who grew up with him and knew Xie Wenjie well, understood it instantly.
I'm afraid that Huaizhang has also thought about the same things he has thought about.
Xie Wenjie pondered for a long time and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense about these ideas in front of Sixth Brother, lest you bring trouble to Sixth Brother. Now we are sinners, even if we have the power of heaven, we can't do anything to us."
Xie Wuying hummed, "Even if you don't say it, I understand. Isn't it just because I feel sorry for Sixth Brother who doesn't have a wise leader?"
"Sixth Brother is a steady and careful person. He has his own ideas. You and I brothers should just follow him."
"Brother, I know!" Xie Wuying chuckled, "It's easy to have wild thoughts at night."
"Um."
After a moment of silence.
Xie Wuying couldn't help but whispered in his brother's ear, "Tell me, is there a possibility that the family god has reappeared after a hundred years to help our sixth brother find another wise leader and change the dynasty?"
