Chapter 7 Staying at Wang's House
Xie Chunmiao, who was standing outside the door, pinched Xie Xiachan.
"It hurts! Why are you pinching me?"
"It's true, Second Sister, we're leaving just like that!"
Xie Chunmiao was a little bit unbelievable.
Finally free!
The village chief saw Xie Qiushi standing there in a daze and said:
"What are you still standing there for, Daya? Go away."
She looked back at the place where she had lived for more than ten years, without any nostalgia, and ran towards her brother and sister with light steps.
Seeing that the matter was over, the villagers went back to cook. What happened today would take them a while to digest!
So after the crowd left, only Xie Shuangbai and his sister, Old Man Li, the village chief and his two sons were left.
Old man Li quickly took out gauze and medicine powder from the medicine box and bandaged Xie Shuangbai.
The three sisters beside her had red eyes. Xie Chunmiao cried and said, "I was so happy just now that I forgot that my brother was injured. I really should have beaten him."
"Brother, you have suffered!" Xie Qiushi said crying.
"We will definitely listen to you in the future." Xie Xiachan also said crying.
Old man Li saw the girls crying sadly and said:
"Okay, don't be sad, let your brother rest.
This is his medicine, he must not forget to take it, remember to remind him."
He took out a small bottle from the medicine box and handed it to her, "Two pills a day, after meals."
Xie Qiushi took the medicine bottle and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Li."
"I have to pay for the medicine!" Xie Shuangbai said weakly.
"I asked Huang for it, you can eat it." Old man Li said with a raised eyebrow.
Xie Shuangbai didn't expect that Old Man Li was really that skilled. He said with a smile, "Grandpa Li is still the best."
"Well, no, don't even think about asking me to treat you if you don't pay me."
Although Old Man Li is just a village doctor, his medical skills are very strong. If anyone in the surrounding villages has a headache or fever, they can’t do without him. You can’t offend anyone else, but you can.
Old man Li looked at the distressed Xie Shuangbai and said:
"Okay, stop talking and remember to take your medicine. I'll be back first. Call me if you need anything."
Xie Shuangbai nodded weakly.
After Old Man Li left, the village chief looked at the four people. Some of them were sick, some were weak, and he felt sorry for them. He said:
"Nephew, it's getting dark now. We definitely can't stay at the old house today. I'll ask Shunyi to go take a look tomorrow. You can stay at my place first and go back after the house is cleaned up."
The man named Shunyi was one of the stretcher bearers. He was also the eldest son of Village Chief Wang. He was married and had a son and a daughter.
Next to him is the second son, Wang Shunfa, who is also married and has a son.
The village chief's youngest daughter is married and not at home.
In Xie Shuangbai's impression, the two sons of the village chief were both honest people.
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Wang." said Xie Shuangbai.
"It's no big deal. It's just a piece of cake!" Wang Shunyi smiled innocently.
They talked as they walked, and in a quarter of an hour they arrived at the village chief's house.
Standing at the door was a short, slightly plump woman. She was Cui, the village chief's wife. When she saw them, she hurried over to greet them.
She looked at the frail Xie Shuangbai and the three pale and thin sisters on the stretcher and said with heartache:
"Oh, poor thing, you can stay at my place. The room is already cleaned up, but you and your sister will have to squeeze in!"
The village chief has a large family, and it is not easy to find a room for them to live in.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, auntie!" Xie Shuangbai said politely.
"My dear child, what are you talking about? Your grandfather helped us a lot back then. Don't be so polite. Just live here peacefully!"
Seeing that everyone was blocking the door, the village chief waved his hand and said, "Come on, go inside first. My nephew is still sick."
"Look at me, I'm old and confused. Come in, come in!"
The village chief's yard was not small and was very tidy. Cui took them to an adobe house.
It was obvious that the house had just been cleaned. There was a temporary bed set up in the corner and curtains drawn. It was very clean and tidy, and even the bedding was new.
The bed on the other side was also covered with thick bedding. It would be a lie to say I wasn't touched by the care they put into it in such a short time.
Several people's eyes were red.
When Cui saw this, she also wiped her tears and said, "My dear child, the hard times are over, and the future will be filled with good times.
You guys clean up first, I'll call you for dinner later."
"Yes, you guys clean up first. Frost has vomited a lot of blood today, so go lie down on the bed quickly. I'll ask Shunfa to bring dinner to your room. Shunfa, remember this!"
The village chief instructed his youngest son.
Wang Shunfa said, "Don't worry, Dad!"
Village Chief Wang: "Okay, let's go out first. Xiaoshuang, don't think too much. The most important thing is to take care of yourself."
Xie Shuangbai: "Okay, thank you, village chief uncle."
"And you still call me village chief!"
"Got it, Uncle Wang!"
The village chief nodded in satisfaction and left, leaving only the four brothers and sisters in the room.
"Brother, how are you feeling?"
Xie Shuangbai panted intermittently and whispered, "Much better. Vomiting blood just looks scary, but it's actually not that serious."
"Brother, you really scared me to death. I'm still scared even if I know the truth." Xie Xiachan said.
"My second sister is the most timid, and my eldest brother is so smart, there will definitely be no problem." said Xie Chunmiao.
"I don't know who it was who hugged me and cried in fear after seeing my elder brother vomiting blood!"
"I, I didn't...Brother, look at my second sister!"
Xie Shuangbai knew how much his sisters cared about him, so he said softly, "I'm sorry for making you worry this time. It's my fault!"
Xie Qiushi was very excited. With red eyes, he knelt beside Xie Shuangbai's bed and said sadly:
"Big Brother is right! If Big Brother hadn't hurt himself, we wouldn't have been able to leave. We should thank Big Brother for leading us out of this hell!"
Xie Chunmiao also stepped forward and pulled the corner of Xie Shuangbai's clothes, looking at him with moist eyes.
"That's right, if it weren't for my brother, we would have been beaten to death by this vicious woman sooner or later!"
He raised his hand and touched his little sister's head, "From now on we will be free."
Xie Shuangbai thought of something and said:
"Tomorrow, Big Brother Wang will go to the old house. Daya, see if you can help. Don't touch the peach trees planted by Grandpa in the old house. Others are free to do whatever they want."
"I understand, bro."
As it got dark, Cui came to the side room to call them to eat, followed by Wang Shunfa who came in with millet porridge, a bowl of egg custard, a plate of stir-fried cabbage and a white flour bun.
"Are you feeling better, Frost?" Cui asked with concern.
"Much better, auntie."
"This is the millet porridge I made for you. Can Shunfa feed you some?"
"Aunt, I don't have much appetite now. I'll drink later."
Seeing him like this, Cui Shi didn't want to rush him to eat, so she said softly, "Okay, I'll put the food on the table for you, and you can eat it later and call Shunfa."
She stood up and said to the three sisters, "Let's go to the main hall to eat with auntie."
The three of them looked at Xie Shuangbai on the bed worriedly.
Xie Shuangbai also looked at them, nodded to indicate that he was fine, and told them to go and eat with peace of mind. Then the three of them left.
He saw that everyone had left and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was so tired today, and the burning sensation from the pills made him exhausted.
This body is worse than I thought.
He thought of the spiritual spring water in the space. Since it could be brought out by thought, could it also be controlled?
He gathered his mental power, and the spiritual spring in the space seemed to feel the call. A stream of clear spring water gathered in the sky, circling and finally turned into a small round ball like a glass ball.
He then tried to see if he could drink water just by thinking about it.
Sure enough, as long as he concentrated his mind, the water would do what he wanted.
The little round balls of water are the most tiring, but also the most magical.
It can turn into a transparent solid and can be taken and eaten at any time.
From now on, you can drink water just by thinking about it without going to the space.
This was an unexpected discovery.
Xie Shuangbai thought again, is it possible to directly divert the water out?
He used his telekinesis to try to direct water into the rice porridge.
Maybe he was too weak and only elicited a few drops.
Even a few drops is enough to prove it works.
He was happy to think that his frail sisters could also drink the spiritual spring to nourish their bodies.
After drinking a lot of spiritual spring water, the burning sensation in my body gradually subsided.
In fact, the original body was born prematurely, weak and malnourished. The reason why he was so weak before was, firstly, he did not have enough to eat, and secondly, he was psychologically tortured by Huang. Now that he has left, with the help of the spiritual spring, he will be able to recover soon.
The three sisters followed Cui to the main room and saw quite a few people sitting there.
Sitting in the main seat was Village Chief Wang, with a little boy sitting next to him. On Village Chief Wang's left were Wang Shunyi and a slightly plump woman who was holding a little girl in her arms.
To the right of Village Chief Wang are Wang Shunfa and a thin, slightly younger woman, also holding a baby.
The three sisters felt a little reserved when they saw so many people.
Cui Shi noticed their awkwardness and said, "This is your Shunyi and Shunfa brothers, you both know them. The ones sitting next to them are their wives."
"Hello, sisters-in-law!" The three of them greeted in a low voice timidly.
Wang Shunyi's wife quickly stood up and said with a smile:
"We're all family, why are you being so polite? Ladies, hurry up and sit down. I don't know what you like to eat. Take a look at the food and see if you have an appetite."
Shunfa's wife next to him also said: "Yes, girls, hurry up and sit down, don't be polite, just treat it like your own family!"
Cui pulled them to their seats and said, "My dear girls, eat quickly! The food is getting cold. You don't have to be polite with me!"
The three of them were so enchanted by the enthusiasm of the others that they calmed down and said, "Well, thank you, auntie."
The dinner was very sumptuous, with large steamed buns made of whole grains, steamed egg custard, a plate of pork and mushrooms, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and a plate of scrambled eggs. The three of them swallowed their saliva while watching.
This dinner was the best meal they had ever had, and it was also the first time they felt the taste of a full meal.
After dinner, they helped Cui clean up the kitchen, even though Cui and her two daughters-in-law told them not to do anything about it.
But how can I have the nerve to eat so much food and still have nothing to do at someone else's house?
After they finished their work, they hurried into the house to check on Xie Shuangbai.
Xie Qiushi saw that the food beside the bed was untouched and asked:
"Brother, why didn't you eat?"
Xie Shuangbai said, "I can't eat."
"Brother, you should take at least a little. Those pills will definitely harm your body."
Xie Shuangbai has already drunk the spiritual spring, so the damage caused by the pill will definitely be eliminated.
But it was difficult to explain, and I was afraid that my sisters would worry, so I got up and drank the porridge.
Xie Xiachan immediately picked up the porridge and said, "Brother, I'll feed you."
Xie Shuangbai: "..."
Sisters, I am not a glass prince!
He drank half a bowl of millet oil.
The three of them felt heartbroken.
Looking at the hesitant looks on their faces, Xie Shuangbai knew they were overthinking it.
"I'm full, you guys can eat the rest, don't waste it."
It is good for them to eat the porridge and dishes containing spiritual spring water.
The three of them ate the remaining porridge and vegetables, and Xie Xiachan took the empty plates out to wash them.
Xie Qiushi tucked in the quilt for Xie Shuangbai, and Xie Chunmiao put some water for him next to the table. Xie Xiachan came back and touched his head to see if he had a fever.
The three of them stared at his slowly rising and falling chest for a long time before they felt relieved.
Xie Shuangbai was "served" by them like a doll.
They were afraid of disturbing their brother's sleep, so they blew out the lights quietly and climbed into bed in the moonlight.
Xie Xiachan was still worried and whispered, "Sister, do you think my brother will be fine?"
"Well, don't think too much. Go to bed early. Get up tomorrow morning to help Aunt Cui with work. We don't want to eat white rice."
"I understand, big sister."
The moonlight outside the window poured into the house through the window lattice, casting a layer of soft light.
Xie Qiushi listened quietly to the breathing sounds of several people in the room.
Xie Qiushi had never dared to imagine such a peaceful moment before, but she did not feel so relieved in her heart.
Her eldest brother had been weak since childhood, and this time he had taken such a strong pill. She was really worried. Her parents were already gone, and if her eldest brother also...
Xie Qiushi fell asleep while thinking about random things.
