The sound of lightning roused the rest of the Zhou family. When they arrived, Yu Chen had already fainted.
"The Four Books?"
The old lady swayed, but fortunately Zhou Erqian supported her so she didn't fall to the ground.
Poor thing, her fourth grandson, whom she hadn't seen in so long, was now lying on the ground, covered in blood from being struck by lightning, his fate unknown.
"What exactly happened?"
The old lady exclaimed in disbelief, "Sisi, how could you chop up your fourth brother? He's your fourth brother!"
Sisi lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Zhou Erqian helped the old lady sit down, then went to check on Yu Chen's condition. He slapped his face and called out several times, but there was no response. What bad luck! The fifth brother died, and the fourth brother, who had finally returned, was also struck by lightning and was probably dead.
It's all that brat's fault!
Zhou Erqian was furious. He glared at her and said, "Zhou Sisi, are you just taking advantage of your ability to summon lightning to strike other people? This is your own fourth brother!"
Little Whitey tugged at his hair, and Zhou Erqian yelled angrily, "Get out of here, you dead bird!"
"You're the dead bird!" Little Gem hugged Little White tightly. "You're a big bad guy! You've wronged my sister! You're shameless!"
"How could I have wronged her? Aren't the Four Books..."
"I chopped it."
Sisi looked at him stubbornly, "I chopped him down because he wanted to hurt Fifth Brother!"
Zhou Erqian didn't believe it. "How could that be? How could Fourth Brother want to hurt Fifth Brother? Fourth Brother must have known that Fifth Brother was gone, so he came to check on him, and you ended up killing him!"
"Aren't you going to take something out and save them?"
The old lady clutched her chest and asked her, "Sisi, is it as Erqian said? Why did you hurt Sishu?"
I don't believe her.
Neither Erguoguo nor Grandma believed her.
Sisi felt wronged, but she also knew that Erguoguo and her grandmother were ordinary people and could not see those demonic things.
They wouldn't believe her even if she explained.
The little guy stubbornly refused to say a word, which made the old lady a little angry. Before she could speak, the person on the bed suddenly coughed.
"Fifth brother?"
The old lady trembled as she pushed Zhou Erqian, "Hurry, hurry and go see, I heard Lao Wu coughing."
Upon hearing this, Sisi turned her head and saw that the person who had been dead had come back to life. Her tears fell instantly.
Xie Yan curled her lips, "You're not dead yet, what are you crying for?"
The little guy rushed over, and he hugged him tightly. The heat on his body couldn't compare to the burning heat in his heart.
He thought he would never see the little guy again.
"Five pots..."
"Fifth Brother!" The old lady, supported by Zhou Erqian, stepped forward, sobbing uncontrollably, "You're alive! You've come back to life! Thank God!"
"Grandma, I'm fine."
Zhou Erqian sighed, then thought of the fourth brother lying on the ground, and glared at Zhou Sisi.
"You brat, didn't you say that Fourth Brother was going to hurt Fifth Brother? Now that Fifth Brother is alive, you're just randomly attacking people!"
Sisi got up from Xie Yan's arms, took out a bottle of spiritual spring dew and gave it to him, "Here, save Fourth Brother."
She wronged Siguoguo, so it was only right for her to save him.
Zhou Erqian fed Shen the Spirit Spring Jade Dew, and he woke up shortly afterward. Looking at the room full of familiar people, Shen's smile was somewhat bitter.
"Sishu, do you still remember your grandmother?" The old lady stepped forward cautiously. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Where's your third brother? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"He's busy."
Yu Chen had been searching for her third brother, but had not found him.
His grandmother was old, and he didn't want to say anything that would make her anxious and worried, so he simply told a lie.
The old lady nodded thoughtfully, "So, are you leaving again this time you're back?"
Thinking of the misunderstanding between him and Qin, the old lady felt sad. "Don't blame your mother. She had no choice back then. She has been thinking about you so much these past two years that she often cries by herself."
Yu Chen lowered her eyes, her expression blank. "I'm not leaving. I understand. I'll go see my mother."
"It's good that you're not leaving. It's so nice that our family is together!" Zhou Erqian patted him happily.
Yu Shen glanced at him lightly, but it gave Zhou Erqian goosebumps all over.
Why is Fourth Brother's gaze so eerie?
Looking closer, he realized he had already looked away. Zhou Erqian scratched his head, probably thinking he must have seen wrong.
Xie Yan came back to life, and Si Shu also returned. The Zhou family became lively again. Qin Shi cried for a while. Although Si Shu was still indifferent, the child had finally returned.
You Rong joked, "This child is sensible; he knows we're in trouble and came to help."
At this point, Madam Qin smiled with relief, "Indeed, that rain came just in time and was miraculous. How's the harvest going? Is it enough to feed the whole city?"
"That's enough. It'll last us for two years. I'll tell them to hurry up and harvest the grain and then plant more, one crop after another. We'll never have to worry about food again."
You Rong then beckoned to Si Si, "Sweetie, come here to Mommy."
Sisi walked over, hugged the person in her arms, and said with great tenderness, "If it weren't for Sisi's divine rain, the wheat seedlings wouldn't have come back to life, and we would have starved to death sooner or later."
She thought the divine rain was sent by Sisi.
Sisi didn't explain further, as long as the people wouldn't starve and wouldn't have to eat stones and mud to fill their stomachs anymore.
"Why are you so downcast, Sisi? Are you worried about Xiao Wu?" You Rong patted her head.
Sisi nuzzled against her and gave a muffled "hmm".
She couldn't understand why the Soul-Capturing Umbrella, which was supposed to collect souls, could bring Wu Guoguo back to life.
No, she has to ask Fourth Brother.
The little guy wiggled his little legs and slipped out of You Rong's arms, running outside with a thud, "I'm going to see Fourth Pot and Fifth Pot."
You Rong called out, "Slow down."
"Okay!"
"Xiao Wu is alright now that he's alive. He's bound to have good fortune after surviving such a disaster. This kid is really brave; he actually dared to jump down to save someone." You Rong still admired Xie Yan to some extent.
Qin sighed, "He's always been rather aloof, which is why he's gotten close to Sisi. I never expected him to be so sentimental."
"It's good that you knew to protect your sister; thankfully, she's alright."
"yes."
………
Xie Yan could clearly feel a different aura surging within his body, and that voice never appeared again.
"Sisi said, 'You saved me.'"
Yu Chen looked out the window and said, "Yes, I saved you, and I will follow you every moment from now on."
"What do you mean?" Xie Yan frowned.
"Isn't protecting your younger brother the right thing to do?"
Xie Yan felt that what he had just said was not what he meant at all.
Have you noticed anything different about me?
"You want to know?"
Yu Chen turned to look at him, Xie Yan's dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Fourth Brother, do you know something?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen's Soul-Capturing Umbrella was suddenly thrown at him. He subconsciously waved his hand, and the umbrella was knocked aside out of thin air, with swirling black energy enveloping the entire umbrella.
"Demonic energy?"
“Yes.” Yu Chen smiled faintly, “Xiao Wu, your abilities far surpass mine, you should be protecting me.”
With the Demon King protecting him, he wouldn't be captured by the Heavenly Palace. He could only hope that Xie Yan would remember their brotherhood.
