Chapter 191 The Senior Brother is Here Too
Huo Ning: “…”
Damn it, even after she traveled through time, she could still hear the eldest senior brother calling her the little junior sister.
Huo Ning ignored him and continued to look carefully at the big locust tree in front of him.
The locust trees are covered with red ribbons, some of which have faded and turned gray because they are too old and have experienced wind and rain for who knows how long.
"Junior sister!"
An angry and frustrated voice sounded again behind her.
This time, Huo Ning can't pretend to be deaf and dumb.
She sighed and looked back.
Um?
Empty?
Not a single person!
"So what? Why don't you look down?"
This voice was filled with deep helplessness and fatigue, but the tone was childish.
Huo Ning slowly looked down in the direction of the sound. After catching a glimpse of a little kid as thin as a bean sprout, she fell silent.
The little kid was hesitant to speak.
The two looked at each other, staring at each other.
“…”
Huo Ning held his breath for a long time, took a deep breath, and controlled the corners of his mouth that were almost twitching wildly, "Big... Senior Brother?"
"How did you become a little kid?"
She and her senior brother grew up together and had a deep bond with each other. Even if they changed their bodies, they could recognize the soul hidden in the shell at a glance.
But that didn't stop her from being shocked.
It’s just that... she didn’t know whether she should be shocked that her senior brother had also traveled through time.
It’s still shocking that my senior brother turned into a bean sprout!
The eldest senior brother rolled his eyes, sat on the ground casually, and glanced at her faintly, "I want to know too."
"…So we are here to experience disaster, right?"
The senior brother sighed.
His body and face are childish, but his expression and tone are mature.
"I don't know if you are here to experience disaster, but I think you are."
He recalled the days during that period with a look of despair.
I was beaten, almost sold, thrown outside the house in the freezing cold, and had no bed to sleep on, so I had to cling to the neighbor's big dog to keep warm.
Huo Ning: “…”
It's hard to judge. How did he get himself into such a miserable state?
She sighed, touched the eldest senior brother's head, and comforted him, "It's okay, when I first came here, I was still in debt of 3 million, but now I have paid it off."
The eldest senior brother was shocked, "What? You have already earned three million?!"
He is so old that he has to worry about whether he can have enough food to eat every day.
Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating.
Huo Ning picked him up and said, "Shi An, how did you manage to make yourself so miserable? Aren't you an excellent doctor?"
"Don't you also know how to tell fortunes and catch ghosts?!"
Shi An let her carry him, as if he was a cat that would not resist. "You can't use mystical arts against ordinary people, otherwise you will be punished by God."
As for using those to make money——
Oh, he did want to!
But he was transformed into a five-year-old poor kid who was abused by his stepmother.
When he traveled through time, the original owner was dead. Although he was an adult, he could not leave the mountain village. The villagers regarded him as a child, and no one would believe him even if he had superb medical skills.
When Huo Ning saw his body, he sighed for the original owner of the body.
After his stepmother gave birth to two sons for his father, he became the redundant one in the family.
In the cold weather, the little children had to carry buckets of water to the well to wash clothes for the whole family.
As a result, he didn't have the strength to fetch water and his small body fell into the water. By the time his fellow villagers found him, it was too late.
The eldest senior brother did travel through time, but the original owner was really dead.
Even so, the family showed no remorse and continued to abuse the child as usual.
Therefore, the senior brother's situation is not much better than that child.
It's just the difference between washing clothes with tears on your face and washing clothes with a calm face.
Oh, senior brother knows the mysterious art.
Although he was a bit of a rookie compared to her, it was not a problem for him to command some ghosts to do work for him.
Huo Ning looked at the locust tree covered with red ribbons, sighed, then turned sideways and lowered his head to glance at his senior brother.
"What's the problem? Can you tell?"
The senior brother glanced at her and said, "Of course I know."
Huo Ning nodded, revealing a teachable look, "Eight elderly people have died in the village in the past month. Do you know what happened?"
"Don't underestimate people!"
Shi An wanted to tap her on the head like he used to, but unfortunately he was short now and could only stare at her.
"I am your senior brother after all, how could I not see such a problem?"
It's just that he doesn't want to care.
In his previous life, Shi An might have had the idea of upholding justice.
But since he was transmigrated into this poor little kid, he hasn't had a single peaceful day in his life. When the original owner was alive, no one showed him any sympathy.
The people in the village all said pitiful things about the original owner, saying that he lost his mother at a young age and that his father was worse than a stepfather, and they were all laughing at him behind his back.
This is human nature. Shi An doesn't demand anything from anyone.
But he himself is happy to clean up the snow in front of his own door.
If a fierce ghost wants to take your life, then just take your life.
And it doesn't take his life.
It's karma, people always have to pay the price for their actions.
Huo Ning narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you to solve it."
Shi An immediately glared at her. He really wanted to display the aura of a senior brother, but unfortunately, he was just a small bean sprout now.
"Why give it to me?"
Huo Ning smiled and asked, "Don't you want to leave this small mountain village?"
She had calculated before she came that there must be something waiting for her here.
But she didn't expect that the one waiting for her here would be her senior brother.
But now that I'm here, I have to help my senior brother escape from this sea of suffering.
Otherwise, what if I wear it back one day and this kid complains to the master?
At this point, Shi An raised his head and looked at her seriously, "Do you have a solution?"
He had long wanted to leave this small mountain village.
But the body was too small and he couldn't get out.
He was only five years old. In this age where human hearts were scarier than demons, he couldn't guarantee that he could survive in a child's body.
Not to mention other things, even food and accommodation are a problem.
Huo Ning looked at him and sighed helplessly.
"I have to find a solution even if I have no other choice. You are my senior brother, but I have to put you in a difficult position."
Shi An thought to himself, is there anything more aggrieved than being a mule or a horse at home?
He looked at his junior sister with gratitude, "Junior sister, if you can really take me away from this place, Senior Brother, I will thank you for the rest of my life."
Huo Ning smiled and said nothing.
I hope that by then I can still say these words!
She glanced at Shi An and said, "Let's go."
Shi An followed his junior sister obediently.
She asked casually, "By the way, how did you get here?"
Shi An was speechless and said unhappily, "Same as you."
They had just killed a great demon that was bringing disaster to the world, and their merits and cultivation had increased rapidly, but the next moment they were thrown here to suffer.
