She is a shining star
"Dad, go back. You are just bound by the friendship from your childhood." The brothers and sisters of the Shen family helped their father who was sitting paralyzed on the ground. They were playmates who went crazy together, made trouble together, and grew up together, but in the end, it ended up like this. It was really sad.
When they walked out of the yard, all they saw was a cloud of dust kicked up by the police car.
No one expected that the look Wang Jianxin gave when he turned back would be the last look he and Shen's father would exchange.
Seeing the noisy crowd gradually disperse, several villagers walked up to the Shen family.
An old lady with gray hair and a hunched back held the little sister's hand tightly, and said emotionally: "My dear, I have lived for most of my life, and today I was enlightened by you, a little girl. In this life, everyone has disasters and setbacks. In other words, everyone is a pitiful person. But some people can turn things around, while others become hateful. The key is to have a righteous heart. If your heart is righteous, you can overcome any chasms and setbacks."
"Second Mr. Shen, your girl is very smart. Our village is really blessed by your family, and by your little girl!" The old man is Heizi's father. He patted Mr. Shen's back to comfort, encourage, and express gratitude.
Since Heizi followed the Shen family to dig medicinal herbs, his family's quality of life has greatly improved, and they have a goal in life. Heizi often said that he would stick with the Shen family in the future and work with them, and he would definitely live a good life.
"Sister Jiaojiao, this is for you." A girl of about eleven or twelve came running up from behind, holding a dahlia that was in full bloom. The petals were layered on top of each other, fading from pink to white, and it was gorgeous and beautiful.
The flower was stuffed into Shen Roujiao's hand. The girl stood on tiptoe, whispered something in her ear, and ran away shyly.
Shen Roujiao shouted at her back, "Come on!"
"good!"
Her cheerful voice was as fast as the wind and spread far and wide.
Fourth brother Shen Tianyou curiously stepped forward and asked, "What did she say?"
Shen Rou smiled delicately, her smile was like the flower in her hand, and her spirited expression made people unable to look away. "Maybe, she worships me!"
"Little sister, I admire you too! I'm proud of you too!" The fourth brother held Shen Roujiao high up in his arms and let her sit on his strong shoulders. He wanted to tell the whole world that she was the little sister of the Shen family and the pride of the Shen family.
That day, Shen Roujiao was carried home by her four brothers, who took turns carrying her on their shoulders.
The Shen family, who had been suppressed for fifteen years, finally raised their heads and straightened their spines at this moment. The fifteen years of the Shen family's frustration became history.
What awaits them will be a brand new life, a brand new era, and a new era in which they will share a common destiny with the nation and the country.
.......
On the same day, an eternal star was ignited in Gu Changgeng's heart, a star that never dimmed and always shone throughout his life.
No matter how many years have passed, he will always remember that night, that dark, windy, heart-pounding night.
After being delayed by Wang Jianxin's matter, they were still late in returning to the county town. Gu Changgeng rode Shen Roujiao on the country road, from the sunset to the moonlit night.
Whenever there were strange noises on the roadside, Shen Roujiao in the back seat would nervously clutch the corner of his clothes. This person who was not afraid of being threatened or even slapped with a shovel was afraid of the dark and rats.
"Gu Changgeng, can you pedal faster?" Shen Roujiao urged the slow-paced junior. In the morning, he pedaled vigorously until he took off, and in the evening, he pedaled at full speed.
"It's so dark, it's not safe to pedal fast. What if you fall into the ditch and a mouse gets into your clothes?" Gu Changgeng knew she was afraid, but he was trying to scare her on purpose. Shen Roujiao was so scared that she clutched the corner of his clothes tighter. He was grinning in front of her.
As the saying goes: When a dog is hit by a brick, nothing good happens to him.
Gu Changgeng was cheerful one second ago, but the next second the front wheel of his car hit a rock. The front of the car swung to the side and turned three or two times. When it was about to stabilize, the car slid directly into a sunken pit and both the driver and the car fell into it.
Gu Changgeng was pressed at the bottom. Before Shen Roujiao fell down, she screamed and hugged his waist tightly, then fell beside him, with the bicycle wheel on her side still turning.
A few seconds disappeared at the bottom of the pit.
Gu Changgeng, who fell and broke his arm, took a deep breath, rubbed the painful area, sat up from the pit, and nervously went to help Shen Roujiao, "Master, Master, are you okay?"
Shen Roujiao hit the back of her head. She groaned twice with a painful expression. When she reached out to touch her head, she felt something furry next to it. She screamed "Ah", hugged her chest tightly with both hands, buried her head in her knees and curled up into a ball. Gu Changgeng was so distressed that he bleeds. He stuffed Shen Roujiao into his arms, hugged her tightly, and repeated over and over again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
There was a slight tremor in the voice, carrying with it the soft warmth of a melted candle, like the wind blowing through the hair in the watery moonlight.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Gu Changgeng had never coaxed anyone before, and was clumsy like a child. Shen Rou's tense body gradually relaxed, and she cried out. After a while, she pushed Gu Changgeng's arms away and climbed out of the pit crying by herself.
Under the moonlight, Shen Roujiao wiped the tears from her face with her wrist and walked forward alone, not paying any attention to how Gu Changgeng dragged the bicycle out of the pit and how he caught up with her on a bicycle.
She sobbed as she walked, looking like a completely bullied punching bag. Gu Changgeng, who was following beside her, dared not even breathe, but just watched silently, totally ignoring the excruciating pain in his arm.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Shen Roujiao, probably tired, stopped and said to the air, "Are you going to throw me again?"
"No." An honest and silly child.
"I'm tired of walking and want to take a car." Soft and cute Jiaojiao.
"Let me help you sit down." Great service awareness.
When Gu Changgeng started riding his bike again, his arm hurt even more, but he dared not be distracted and just gritted his teeth and persevered. Half an hour later, he finally arrived at the county high school, but was blocked by Gu Changgeng's mother at the school gate.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a slender woman wearing a white satin dress and a velvet embroidered shawl. She had black curly hair, a little makeup, an elegant posture, and a soft aura.
"It's past eight o'clock now." Gu's mother's voice was soft, and her tone did not sound accusatory, but rather a casual statement.
Shen Roujiao got down from the back seat and was stared at by her bright eyes, "Hello, sister!"
? What kind of generational distinction is this, calling your junior’s mother “sister”?
! Gu's mother was amused by this unexpected name, wrapped her shawl again, and asked with a smile on her lips: "Are you Shen Roujiao?"
"Yes. I am the senior of Junior Brother Gu. I came back a little late after digging herbs. You won't blame him, will you?" Although she fell down because of him, she still had hard work even if she had no credit. Gu Changgeng's performance that day was outstanding. He worked hard and was smart. If he was criticized because of her again, she would feel a little bit reluctant.
"No." Still speaking in a light tone, Mother Gu glanced at Gu Changgeng and gently opened her red lips, saying, "Digging medicinal herbs? As long as he likes it."
"Mom!" Gu Changgeng's face flushed with anxiety. He interrupted her and stopped her from continuing. He then looked at Shen Roujiao with a twinkling look in his eyes. "Senior sister, go back quickly. The dormitory door is about to be locked."
"Oh, goodbye, sister, goodbye, junior brother!"
When she turned to leave, she was caught up by Gu Changgeng and grabbed. His hand fell on the big bump on the back of Shen Roujiao's head without warning, and she took a cold breath.
"Let me see." The junior student came behind her without saying a word and forced her to lower her head. Shen Roujiao was in real pain and obediently let him check if she was hurt.
She was hit really hard and there was a big red swelling. No wonder she cried so pitifully. His heart was almost broken by her crying. "How about, go to my house first and I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow." Gu Changgeng blew gently on the swelling and wanted to rub it for her, but he was afraid that it would hurt her.
"It's good that it's not broken. I'm not that delicate." Shen Roujiao raised her hand to tidy up her messed up hair, and stole a glance at Gu's mother who was not far away. Oh, she is so beautiful. There are really gentle women in this world. She covered her mouth and whispered, "Your mother is so beautiful, like a fairy."
Gu Changgeng snorted coldly, still thinking, "If it still hurts tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital. Come in!"
Gu Changgeng waited until Shen Roujiao's figure disappeared from the campus before he opened his sleeves. His entire left arm was burning with pain, and the slightest touch caused excruciating pain.
Seeing her son's painful expression, Gu's mother went forward to check and found that he was injured. She quickly hailed a car parked at the next street corner and rushed to the county hospital.
That night, Gu Changgeng gloriously broke his bones.
The thick plaster stayed with him for two months, but he was very happy.
As a blessing in disguise, Shen Roujiao took good care of him, served him delicious food and drinks, forced him to watch basketball games with him, and had to appease Chang Geng's whims from time to time and act pitiful.
On the other hand, Zhou Huaiyue was really pitiful. On the night he returned to Nanshan Village from Ping'an County, he inexplicably developed a high fever. The next day he fell into a coma and no one could wake him up.
Zhou Huaiyue was in a coma, trapped in a fog. He heard many people calling his name, his mother, his father, his cellmates, even Rushan, Tiancheng, and Huzi, but there was no sound of Shen Roujiao, as if she had never appeared and did not exist at all...
Seeing his son was unconscious from the fever, Zhou Chuzhuo was extremely anxious and asked the child who came to write to him to go up the mountain to ask for a Taoist doctor.
An hour later, the young nun Lingxi and her master Jingxuan arrived at the old man's house.
Jingxuan, dressed in a plain Taoist robe, walked in and went straight to the bed without saying hello to Zhou's father. She saw that Zhou Huaiyue's face was pale, his breath was weak, and his forehead was frighteningly hot.
After thinking for a moment, Jingxuan looked back, and the little nun Lingxi immediately moved a chair over. She sat down, placed her slender fingers on Zhou Huaiyue's pulse, frowned slightly, and looked solemn.
After a while, she slowly said to Zhou's father: "It's just a case of heat poison attacking the heart and disorder of qi and blood. It's not serious. It requires acupuncture and bloodletting. You don't have to worry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lingxi had already deployed all the acupuncture needles she had brought.
Jingxuan pulled out the longest needle, and before inserting the needle, she held it in her mouth for a moment, and after warming the needle with her mouth, she accurately inserted it into Zhou Huaiyue's Dazhui acupoint. After several more insertions, she also inserted the needle into Quchi and Hegu acupoints.
After a few injections, Zhou Huaiyue lying on the bed took a deep breath.
Seeing that the person had reacted, Jingxuan pinched the outside of Zhou Huaiyue's elbow, leaving finger marks. Lingxi took out an alcohol cotton swab and disinfected it back and forth. This time, he pulled out a very short and thick one, and repeatedly pricked the disinfected finger marks, piercing the skin and squeezing out blood, which turned black.
"Lingxi, bring that grass here."
