The brothers lost their last bit of strength and ability.
It felt like someone had hit my head hard with a hammer a few times.
Everything collapsed in an instant.
Guilt overwhelmed them, almost drowning them.
The fourth brother, Sheng, was the first to break down, exclaiming, "How could it be Xinghe! How could it be her?"
For a moment, Sheng Lao Si wished that Sheng Yue had saved them; at least that way, their hearts wouldn't ache so much.
After that incident, they stayed in the hospital for a few days.
The evil spirit's malevolent aura affected them, and their memories of the past gradually faded over time. At first, they could still remember some of what had happened.
After that, all they remembered was what they had encountered in the forest.
He was injured and fainted.
That pink hem of clothing was deeply etched in their minds.
Did Sheng Yue save them?
Sheng Yue was hospitalized for almost a month. Since then, her heart condition seems to have worsened, and it keeps recurring.
The brothers dared not let Sheng Xiuwen and Ye Ning know about this.
They took Sheng Yue out, and all of them returned injured. Sheng Xiuwen and Ye Ning had already had a fight.
They quietly asked Sheng Yue if she was the one who saved them back then.
Sheng Yue lowered her head and acquiesced.
The brothers couldn't remember what they had encountered.
Sheng Yue said it was a tiger. She ran over, lured the tiger away, circled around a lot before coming back and moving them to the side of the road.
Sheng Laosan was a little more guilty than the others.
Did he encounter that tiger, or something else, head-on?
The images in his memory were blurry; he only remembered that it was something that terrified him.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that thing rushing towards him.
He instinctively pushed the person next to him, and when he passed out, he only saw that the person whose face he couldn't see clearly had a long cut on his arm.
It was as if fresh blood had been spilled in front of him.
Sheng Yue's arm was also injured, which matched his few memories.
Because he had pushed that person away, guilt gripped him tightly, and he could only treat Sheng Yue even better.
He swore that he would treat Sheng Yue well for the rest of his life, and that his life belonged to Sheng Yue.
The brothers cared for her like a porcelain doll, afraid to let anything upset her, and became increasingly accommodating to her every whim.
Now tell them that it was all a lie.
The one who saved them was Xinghe.
Sheng Yue was a swindler who usurped the position from beginning to end.
We've taken for granted enjoying what belongs to the Milky Way for so many years.
Several intense emotions surged up at once, almost overwhelming them.
They practically spoiled Sheng Yue rotten, but what about their own sister?
Their younger sister, less than a month old, cried all night long from hunger.
Inside the Taoist temple, they haggled with the vendors over a price of one yuan per kilogram for rice.
She cried and said she would never eat roast chicken again.
The clothes he was wearing were patched again and again.
He was pointed at and called a bastard without parents.
Looking at the dolls in the shop window, you have to pretend you don't like them because of the money.
...
Their hearts seemed to be caught in a damp rainy season, endless and without end.
The galaxy in the illusion spent one spring, summer, autumn and winter after another in the Taoist temple.
From a tiny little bean bun, she grew into a teenage girl.
Even her drab gray Taoist robe couldn't conceal her radiance.
She became more and more outstanding, but more and more strange events occurred around her.
Master Suiyuan began to stare blankly at the starry river more and more often.
Xinghe snapped his fingers in front of him. "Old man! Snap out of it!"
She cupped her face in her hands and sat down in front of Master Suiyuan. "You seem to have been completely captivated by your trip. Tell me about it, maybe I can help you."
Master Suiyuan tapped Xinghe once, "You have no manners, call me Master."
"Old man, old man, old man! An old man who's never home all year round!"
Xinghe insisted on going against him.
Master Suiyuan rolled his eyes, not paying much attention.
"Tell me, what exactly have you been busy with? Count how many times you've come back this year," Xinghe counted on his fingers. "I came back once on New Year's Eve, once in June for one night, and once on my birthday."
Xinghe said with a stern face, "Tell me, do you have another family outside and want to abandon me?"
"What nonsense are you spouting all day long? Raising you is already exhausting enough." Master Suiyuan's hand, which was resting on the table, twitched, his eyes slightly uneasy. "You're almost an adult, and you've never been to school. After you leave the mountain—"
"What school do I need to go to? I already know all those things."
"Besides, I'm not going down the mountain. It's great up there; I can go wherever I want." Xinghe stared intently at Daoist Suiyuan. "Are you trying to kick me out?"
"Is this your home? Why are you leaving?"
Xinghe shrugged. "That's right. Okay, I know my own business. Don't worry about it. I'll make my own money."
"I'll tell you a secret: Old Wu down the mountain said I'm much better than you, and he gave me five hundred as a reward last time!"
Master Suiyuan gave a dry laugh, then made an excuse and plunged into the library.
Xinghe felt that he was hiding something from her again, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
Until that night.
Xinghe was asleep when he was awakened by a slight noise.
She opened her eyes and saw Master Suiyuan sitting by her bedside.
She jumped in fright and turned on the light. "Old man, are you trying to scare me to death in the middle of the night?"
Master Suiyuan wore a kind smile that Xinghe hadn't seen in a long time.
