"I don't know either. I was cooking inside when I heard a thud at the door. When I went out, I saw that he had collapsed and I couldn't wake him up."
The old woman cried her heart out, "The village doctor said it's no use, and my body feels cold to the touch, what should I do!"
Upon hearing this, Qin immediately turned pale and collapsed to the ground.
Long Sisi let go of Xie Yan's hand and ran over. She leaned against Erguoguo's chest and listened.
His heartbeat was very weak. When he pulled his clothes back, he saw that the black line was like a needle piercing into Erguoguo's chest, wrapping around his heart and tightening its grip.
It was indeed that carp spirit who caused all this trouble.
If this black line tightens any further, Erguoguo will die before half an incense stick has burned out.
No, we can't let Erguotou die.
"Sisi, is there any way to save Second Brother?"
Xie Yan spoke in a tight voice, hoping that this "demon" would have a solution. If she couldn't, then his second brother probably couldn't be saved by anyone.
"There is a way."
How could she, a dignified dragon princess, be outdone by a mere carp spirit?
Long Sisi reached out and pulled out the black thread, squeezing it hard until it instantly shattered into several pieces.
The heart that had been clenched into a knot instantly came back to life.
"Mommy, Erguoguo is breathing!"
Qin hurriedly checked his breath, and the old lady also rushed to his chest.
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with tears.
"Great, great, Erqian is back to life!"
"That really scared me to death, that really scared me to death."
After a moment of lingering fear, the two looked at Sisi together.
They all saw it: Sisi touched Erqian's chest, and then Erqian came back to life.
Could it be that Sisi has some kind of divine power?
Long Sisi smiled innocently, "Mommy, Grandma, why are you looking at Sisi like that?"
Qin wanted to ask if Erqian was better because of her, but Xie Yan suddenly interrupted, "Mother, it's hot, quickly get Second Brother inside."
Only then did Madam Qin remember that her second son was still lying on the ground.
She and the old lady hurriedly carried Zhou Erqian into the house.
As Long Sisi was about to follow into the house, she suddenly saw the Great Demon Dynasty and gave it a thumbs up.
She smiled, hugged his arm, and her eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she laughed. "Fifth Brother, how about becoming Sisi's little brother? If anyone bullies you in the future, Sisi will help you get revenge!"
Xie Yan: ...........
He withdrew his hand, turned around, and went inside.
Long Sisi put her hands on her hips and snorted at him. Sure enough, the Great Demon King is the Great Demon King; he won't easily submit.
Meanwhile, on the Zhuang family's bed, Zhuang Rongrong saw her mother finally open her eyes with great difficulty. She was about to speak when her mother's eyes suddenly widened and she stopped breathing completely.
"mother....."
Zhuang Rongrong reached out and touched her nose in disbelief, then suddenly fell to the ground.
How is that possible?
She clearly switched her mother's fate with Zhou Erqian's; the one who should die is Zhou Erqian!
Why is it her mother again?
The village chief, who came to check on the situation, was also at a loss. Just now, Liu Cuihua had clearly opened her eyes and was about to come back to life, so how could she suddenly die again?
"Rongrong, what's going on?"
Her mother died, so the rain-seeking ritual had to be postponed for a few more days.
The village chief felt his throat was parched.
Zhuang Rongrong collapsed and threw herself into Liu Cuihua's arms, crying out, "Mother—!"
Liu Cuihua died, the Zhuang family's house collapsed, and the villagers all said that the Zhuang family's good fortune over the years was coming to an end, and the Bodhisattva in Zhuang Rongrong's hands was no longer effective.
But even though Zhuang Rongrong became an orphan, some people in the village still had designs on her.
Although her house collapsed and her mother died, she still had a Bodhisattva statue in her possession. If that Bodhisattva statue still had some effect, wouldn't she make a fortune?
In no time, the doorstep of the bookmaker was practically worn down by the crowds.
The Zhou family also mentioned this matter during dinner.
Qin had a premonition: "I think that girl Zhuang Rongrong will definitely come to our house. She usually likes to come to our house the most."
"We have so many children, we can't afford to raise her," the old lady said while feeding Sisi.
"That girl is cunning; Sisi can't compete with her. If she comes, she'll bully Sisi all the time."
I think so too.
"Mom, I'm back!" Zhou Dawei called out from the doorway and hurried into the house.
Upon hearing his voice, their eyes lit up.
"Dawei's back?"
Before they could leave, Zhou Dawei came in, panting, and the first thing he asked was a question.
"What happened to Rongrong's house? Why is the house collapsed and there are white sheets floating in the yard?"
Qin pouted. Her children had all played with Zhuang Rongrong since they were little, and she didn't care about her own sister at all, but instead cared about others.
She didn't answer, but asked, "I told you to come back, but you didn't. Why did you come back on your own?"
"I came back because I have something to do."
Zhou Dawei glanced at Sisi with his tiger-like eyes, saw that her cheeks were full of trouble, and her little face was round and chubby. He looked away guiltily.
If she knew the medicine had been thrown away, she'd probably cry, wouldn't she? He remembered she was a crybaby.
His mother and grandmother might beat him again.
But he's gotten used to being beaten up now; he's thick-skinned, so a beating doesn't bother him, as long as she still has that medicine...
"We can talk about it after we eat. We've made a lot." The old lady pulled him down to sit with concern. "Look how thin you've become. Maybe you shouldn't work anymore."
Zhou Dawei was indeed hungry. He ate the food Qin handed him with great relish and mumbled, "I'm so old now, I'll be useless if I don't work. By the way, you haven't told me what happened to Rongrong's family yet?"
