puff--
There was a dull thud as a sharp weapon pierced into flesh.
Shen Qiqi subconsciously grasped the long sword that pierced her chest.
As her strength got out of control, her palm was cut by the sharp blade, and blood flowed out from between her fingers like a stream.
Scarlet blood also flowed from the corners of his mouth.
The severe pain caused her pupils to shrink suddenly, and black veins bulged and squirmed on her forehead one after another... Under the extreme color contrast, her pale little face looked even more bloodless.
Mrs. Xie was stunned.
Several elders of the Shen family cried out in surprise but dared not say anything.
The others also held their breath and dared not make a sound, their eyes widening in shock.
This scene happened so suddenly that no one expected it. Xie Beiming was the first to react. He rushed over, hugged Shen Qiqi's waist, and called her in a trembling voice: "Qiqi, Qiqi..."
His voice was extremely gentle, for fear of scaring the person in his arms.
At the same time, he placed his palm on Shen Qiqi's back, and with the input of force, the sword that had pierced Shen Qiqi's chest was forced out.
Without the sword as a barrier, the blood gathered around the wound was about to gush out in an instant. Xie Beiming had already made preparations. While forcing out the sword, he hurriedly used his spiritual power to seal the wound and quickly stuffed a pill into Shen Qiqi's mouth.
The action seems complicated, but it actually only takes two breaths of effort.
Shen Qiqi recovered and didn't care about her injuries. She hurriedly searched for Shen Ning'er in the crowd. Seeing Shen Ning'er still sitting on the ground in a daze, she pointed at her and said weakly: "Catch her, don't let her go... Don't let her die!"
Xie Ruze, the second person present who reacted quickly, immediately went over and clamped Shen Ning'er upon hearing the words. To prevent her from committing suicide, he not only sealed her spiritual veins, but also chopped her off with a knife.
Before Shen Ning'er could recover from the shock of Shen Qiqi being stabbed, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Seeing Shen Ning'er being restrained, Shen Qiqi's tense nerves finally relaxed, and the severe pain swept over her again at this moment. All her strength receded at this moment, and she fell limply into Xie Beiming's arms.
…
Shen Qiqi had a dream.
In her dream, she returned to her childhood.
She was only five years old at that time, the age when a child is most mischievous.
The naughty Shen Qiqi ran into her father's study and accidentally knocked over the inkstone on the desk, staining a calligraphy and painting that her father had spread out on the table.
That was my father's favorite calligraphy and painting, because every time his friends came over, he would take out the calligraphy and painting to show off.
But now, she has soiled her father's favorite calligraphy and painting!
Looking at the large blobs of ink on the rice paper, the five-year-old Shen Qiqi was dumbfounded, and then burst into tears.
Just at this moment, a thin little figure appeared at the door. It timidly peeked inside at first, and saw Shen Qiqi sitting on the ground crying alone. The little figure then walked in cautiously, squatted in front of her, and asked her in a very weak voice: "What's wrong, Qiqi, did someone bully you? Tell your sister... Tell me, I'll help you beat it back... Stop crying, okay?"
That was Shen Ning'er, a concubine's daughter who was one year older than Shen Qiqi, the eldest daughter.
Before this, Shen Qiqi had no good feelings towards this half-sister, and even disliked her a little.
But now she had done something wrong, and she was feeling panic and helpless. When Shen Ning'er asked her, she told him, and after she finished speaking, she opened her mouth and continued crying.
She had soiled her father's most treasured calligraphy and painting. Her father would definitely give her a good beating. Wuwuwu...
She cried and cried, and suddenly she saw Shen Ning'er stand up, pressed her two palms on the ink ball, then raised her black palms and shook them, and said to her: "Qiqi, look, I knocked over the inkstone, and I also stained my father's calligraphy and painting. Please don't cry, okay?"
Looking at Shen Ning'er's two hands stained with black ink, Shen Qiqi's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't expect that things could be done this way.
The consequence of taking the blame for her is that Shen Ning'er will be beaten with a stick, and after the beating, she will have to kneel in the ancestral hall for an hour.
Shen Qiqi was right next to her when she was being beaten with a stick. Seeing such a big stick falling on Shen Ning'er's back, she was so scared that she bit her fist and dared not say a word. Shen Ning'er also bit her lips and said nothing.
Cold sweat broke out on her little face, but she didn't say a word. She just bit her lips and endured it silently. Instead, Shen Qiqi couldn't stand it anymore. She rushed over to protect her and admitted her mistake while crying.
So Shen Qiqi was also beaten.
After being beaten with the stick, the two sisters were taken to the ancestral hall to kneel.
Then, in that ancestral hall filled with sandalwood, the two sisters expressed their true feelings to each other for the first time.
From then on, Shen Qiqi began to call Shen Ning'er "sister", and Shen Ning'er was really a very good sister, protecting her everywhere, giving in to her, and pampering her... Until that time when she was forced into a dead end by the evil spirit, and her life was about to be lost in the hands of that evil spirit.
Just when Shen Qiqi was desperately waiting to die, Shen Ning'er suddenly fell from the sky, just like when she took the blame for her when she was a child, and protected her tightly behind her.
Fortunately, the Great Elder and his men arrived in time and killed the evil creature.
However, Shen Ning'er still fell into a coma due to serious injuries and slept for more than a month before waking up.
From then on, Shen Ning'er began to change. Although she still spoke to Shen Qiqi in a pleasant manner and still protected her like before, she was no longer able to protect her tightly. The more she protected her, the more seriously Shen Qiqi was injured. The better she treated Shen Qiqi, the more people around her disliked her...
