The fisherwoman arrived quickly, and fortunately, Wen Shishi wasn't shy. She was stripped naked, washed, and dressed in the novice monk's robes given to her by the abbot...
Yu Xue was lovely, and the Song brothers both liked her very much when they saw her.
The fisherwoman had just helped Wen Shishi take a bath and was so charmed by Wen Shishi's sweet words that she left a message before leaving...
Tell them that if they need any more help, they can come to the house.
Wen Shishi was all clean and fresh, and the Song brothers were too embarrassed to hug her.
I looked down and smelled myself. I'd been walking all day without a break, and I was covered in sweat...
The temple's location is quite ingenious; it is nestled against a mountain, with a mountain spring nearby...
The Song brothers immediately left one of them behind, while the rest went to the back room, took off their clothes, and washed themselves clean from head to toe.
They hadn't changed their clothes; their original plan was to wash them and continue wearing their prison uniforms...
To everyone's surprise, right after they finished washing, two novice monks came out carrying two bundles of worn but clean monk's robes.
The young novice monk smiled and said, “Esteemed benefactors, please make sure you wear these clothes properly!”
"They've all been washed clean; the abbot specifically instructed that."
Fearing the Song family might refuse, he deliberately added a last sentence.
The Song family has already troubled the abbot and monks considerably, and since the abbot is willing to help, they will not hesitate...
Indeed, walking around in prison clothes would easily attract strange looks.
The Song family thanked the abbot and the novices for their kindness, washed their prison clothes clean with spring water, and hung them to dry on the rope they had set up...
Then the second son, Song Chengjian, came in.
The eldest brother, Song Chenghou, awkwardly helped Wen Shishi dry her hair while carefully asking about her condition.
"Little sister, is it okay if your brothers call you that from now on?"
"Yes!" came the crisp, resolute voice.
"Then can you tell your brother what your name is?"
"My name is Wen Shishi, and my nickname is Shishi."
"Shishi..." The Song family pondered the name and all thought it sounded very nice.
"From now on, we'll call you Shishi, okay?"
"Mmm." Wen Shishi played with her little hands, the unease and awkwardness she felt in the unfamiliar environment had disappeared.
"Shishi, tell your brother, how old are you?"
Wen Shishi held up four fingers, "I'm four and a half years old!"
Song Chenghou was charmed by her appearance, gently patted her head, and continued to ask, "Is Shishi's family far away?"
Worried that mentioning his grandfather would upset Wen Shishi, Song Chenghou asked vaguely.
"My family lives on Hainan Island, but my grandfather often takes me on airplanes to travel to various countries..."
Wen Shishi said it casually, without sounding like she was lying.
Little did they know that these few simple words would cause the Song brothers to frown.
Hainan Island?
Under the heavens, besides Hainan Island right beneath our feet, there are other places across the ocean also called Hainan Island.
Wait, what is the "airplane" she mentioned?
So Song Chenghou gently asked, "Shishi, what does the plane you're on look like?"
Wen Shishi jumped down from Song Chenghou's arms, picked up a dry twig from the ground, and drew the shape of an airplane on the ground. With a serious look on her face, she said, "It looks like this."
It can fly in the sky and take us anywhere!
The Song brothers looked at each other again, confirming that Wen Shishi's hometown was outside their area of knowledge.
Neither the material of the hair tie nor the material and pattern of the dress she was wearing when she was found belonged to the inland or island regions of the Great Yin Dynasty.
Song Chenghou then asked, "What do Shishi's parents do?"
Wen Shishi raised her small face, "They run a company, they're busy making money, they don't have time to care about me..."
So, my grandpa has always taken care of me. I love my grandpa the most!
My grandpa loves me the most too!
The term "starting a company" was outside the Song brothers' understanding, but fortunately, Wen Shishi later mentioned "making money," which gave them a general idea...
She must be a businesswoman. Judging from Wen Shishi's demeanor and ambition, she must come from a merchant family, and her business must be quite large.
After getting a general understanding, Song Chenghou gently comforted the little girl, "Shishi, I asked so many questions because I want to help you find your family when the opportunity arises..."
If we can't find you, you'll have to live with your brothers for now. We'll protect and love you just like your grandfather, okay?
Wen Shishi opened her innocent eyes wide, nodded as if she understood, thought for a moment, and then hugged Song Chenghou's neck...
With a "smack," he kissed Song Chenghou on the cheek.
On Song Chenghou's face, a smile, like a newly blossoming flower, gradually bloomed...
From the corners of his mouth to the tips of his eyebrows, he was beaming with smiles.
The Song brothers surrounded Wen Shishi almost instantly.
One by one, they raised their chins and moved their faces closer to Wen Shishi, their intentions all too clear...
Wen Shishi noticed and turned around to find herself surrounded by faces. She shrank back into Song Chenghou's arms...
Song Chenghou chuckled and patted Wen Shishi on the back, coaxing her, "It's okay, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"
Laughing, she tried to shoo her younger brothers away, but Wen Shishi, nestled in her arms, seemed to hesitate for a moment before turning around and searching for the sixth brother, Song Chengfeng...
She reached out and put her arms around his neck, then kissed him on the cheek.
"Hey!" Song Chengfeng touched his face, overjoyed.
Just then, Song Chengjian, the second son who was taking his last bath, came out, and Wen Shishi reached out to him...
Song Chengjian thought she wanted him to carry her, so he quickly bent down and reached out...
Wen Shishi simply leaned in and gave Song Chengjian a light kiss on the cheek.
Then he immediately shrank back into Song Chenghou's arms.
The other brothers were filled with longing and envy, their teeth practically grinding in their teeth.
The tenth brother, Song Chengxin, finally understood, and said, "Shishi, the fisherwoman I just invited, the one who helped you bathe..."
Wen Shishi turned her head and carefully examined Song Chengxin, her eyes darting around, her adorable expression almost melting hearts...
He seemed to have figured it out before reaching out to Song Chengxin.
Song Chengxin immediately leaned his neck in and received a sweet kiss from Wen Shishi. He couldn't be happier!
Sister, that's great!
Little sister, how soft you are!
Little sister, how adorable!
From now on, I will only love my younger sister. If anyone tries to take her away from me, I'll fight them!
Seeing this, the others were not about to give up and crowded around, trying every trick in the book to get Wen Shishi to "share her affections" with everyone...
Wen Shishi snuggled into Song Chenghou's arms and wouldn't turn her head.
Finally, the remaining brothers were forcibly driven away by their second brother, Song Chengjian, who yelled, "Hey! Get out of the way! Don't scare your little sister!"
They didn't know if they had scared their sister...
But the way the second brother doted on and protected his younger brothers scared them!
My second brother used to treat them with physical force rather than words.
Tenderness? Forget about it!
