Chapter 4 How did Suining know her father was shot to death?
Li Suining didn't know how long she had been unconscious. The moment she regained consciousness, she went to check what was in her hand.
Fortunately, the collar is still there, which means daddy is still there.
She felt like she was lying on something soft. Apart from being a little stuffy, she felt very warm and more comfortable than ever before.
"Dad..." she called out weakly.
"Wake up, wake up, finally wake up." It seemed like someone was talking.
Li Suining's little face was originally facing the window. She changed direction in a daze, and obviously pulled the injury on her back. She frowned again, but did not cry at all.
"It's okay." She told herself secretly, "Daddy is back, and the pain will go away soon."
She tried hard to open her eyes and told her father that she had a terrible dream in which her father was shot by an arrow.
Fortunately, it was just a dream, and Daddy was still there. As long as she opened her eyes, she could see Daddy.
Li Suining's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally slowly opened her eyes. She saw several people: a handsome uncle, a beautiful aunt who was pregnant, and a... not very happy little brother.
But, there is no daddy.
Xiao Suining pursed her lips and subconsciously looked at her own hands. What she had been holding tightly was just a piece of cloth: It turned out that Daddy’s return was just a dream!
"Sui Ning? How are you feeling? Do you want some water?" Wei Ranzhu bent down with great effort and spoke very gently, "Don't be afraid. This will be your new home from now on. We are not bad people."
Li Suining's eyelashes trembled, and her big black and white eyes looked at a few people again, with obvious uneasiness in her eyes.
"I'll do it!" Bai Yunfeng helped his wife up, squatting beside the bed and whispering, "Xiao Suining, I'm your uncle who fought alongside your father. Your father...he made military achievements and was sent to a more distant place. Before he left, he handed you over to your uncle."
Li Suining finally held back her tears. She couldn't cry easily. Qian said that crying children were the most annoying.
She looked at the man in front of her timidly.
Bai Yunfeng continued, "Xiao Suining, you will live with your uncle from now on, okay? From today on, I am your father, this is your mother, and this is your fourth brother Bai Shi'an. We will love you well, okay?"
Li Suining's tears welled up again and she immediately shook her head.
Bai Yunfeng was panicked. During the six or seven days that Li Suining was in a coma, he thought of all kinds of possibilities, but he never thought that she didn't want to be his daughter at all.
His voice was filled with a hint of anxiety that was hard to conceal. "Xiao Suining, your father has done me a great favor. Before he left, he was most worried about you. I promised him that I would treat you as my own child..."
"Daddy is dead." Li Suining still tried to hold back her tears, and with red eyes she said the fact that she had known for a long time.
The three adults' expressions changed instantly.
Wei Ranzhu felt extremely distressed and turned her head to secretly wipe away her tears.
Bai Shian was a little impatient. The skinny little girl on the bed was not his sister. No one could replace his sister.
Bai Yunfeng felt something was wrong. Xiao Suining shouldn't know about Li Tianfu's death. Maybe she just had a nightmare.
He pulled the corners of his mouth with great difficulty, trying to pretend that nothing had happened. "How could it be? Xiao Suining, don't think too much. Your father just got a promotion and went to a very far place. When Xiao Suining grows up..."
The little girl on the bed lowered her eyes and said in a low but very certain voice, "Daddy was shot to death by an arrow."
Bai Shian couldn't help but snorted, "It seems that this girl already knows, don't waste your time deceiving her."
"Impossible!" Bai Yunfeng immediately denied it. Considering Xiao Suining, he stood up and pulled Bai Shian out, lowering his voice and questioning, "Did you say that?"
Bai Shian turned his head away, neither admitting nor denying.
"Bai Shi'an, what did I teach you?" Bai Yunfeng was obviously angry. "People should know how to repay kindness. Suining is the daughter of my father's benefactor. How could you..."
"Yunfeng, don't get excited." Wei Ranzhu, who came out with her, held her husband back. "It shouldn't be what Shi'an said. Today is his first time to see little Suining. Besides, Suining has been in a coma for so many days. Didn't she just wake up?"
Bai Shian snorted, obviously that was not what he said.
"How could that little girl be so sure that her father was shot to death by an arrow?" Bai Yunfeng couldn't understand.
Wei Ranzhu's eyes showed doubt, "Are you sure you haven't mentioned it to her?"
"No, I only told this to Qian, but at that time the child was locked in the woodshed and was unconscious." Bai Yunfeng recalled it carefully and it was indeed the case.
Wei Ranzhu was also very puzzled.
"What's so strange about this? Perhaps it's because of their deep love for each other, and her father was worried, so he sent her a dream."
Bai Shian became more and more impatient. "If you ask me, I'll send her back as soon as she recovers. At most, I'll give her some extra money. Anyway, I won't accept this sister."
After saying that, he strode away without looking back.
"You..." Bai Yunfeng was extremely angry.
"Alright, let him be." Wei Ranzhu whispered to comfort her husband, "You also know that when Mianmian was still alive, the fourth brother had the deepest feelings for her."
Bai Mianmian is the daughter of the general who died young.
That year, after Mianmian was born, Bai Shian went to see her every day, holding her in his arms every day, and loved her very much.
During the month when Mianmian was seriously ill, Bai Shian stayed by her bedside day and night, refusing to leave for even a moment.
Bai Yunfeng still remembers that after Bai Mianmian left, Bai Shian locked himself in his room for more than a month and lost more than ten pounds.
He could only sigh helplessly and go back with his wife.
The moment they opened the door, they saw Xiao Suining wiping her tears in panic.
Bai Yunfeng felt a sharp pain in his heart. He took a few steps forward and said, "Sui Ning, your father is the bravest warrior. He was shot while trying to save me..."
He was almost choked up and couldn't continue, "Poor child, cry if you want."
"Child, cry, you can cry out loud." Wei Ranzhu could see that for some reason, the child was holding back his tears.
However, the room was still so quiet, and only the little guy's heavy breathing could be heard.
When Li Suining raised her eyes again, the tears in her eyes were once again held back by her. Only her eye sockets and nose were red, making her look even more pitiful.
She carefully confirmed with Bai Yunfeng, "Daddy saved you, so you'll take me in to repay him, right?"
Bai Yunfeng was stunned. The little guy's words seemed to be fine, but he felt something was not right.
He looked at Li Suining's expectant eyes, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
Sure enough, Xiao Suining seemed relieved when she got a positive answer. She moved her body and tried to get up.
"Don't move." Bai Yunfeng quickly held her shoulders, "Sui Ning, your injuries haven't healed yet, don't move, just lie still."
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Li Suining was obviously still trying to get up. "Thank you for taking me in. I will be very good. I can do a lot of work. I eat very little and I won't cry or make a fuss. I..."
