Chapter 018 Worse than a beast
Shen Qingbai is sick.
Chen Ning didn't have a good impression of her original family, but when she thought about the pale and frail boy who stuffed some silver coins into her pocket on the day she first came through to attend the funeral, she felt that she should go back and take a look.
She knows medicine and can give him some treatment. The small change will be used as consultation fee.
After breakfast the next day, Shen Ning stared at Xiao Nanchen as he drank the medicine, told him to stay at home obediently, and then went out herself.
Half an hour after Chen Ning left, a golden eagle landed in the yard with a cry, and the poor hens in the chicken coop trembled again.
The golden eagle looked at Xiao Nanchen, tilted its head, and its small eyes were full of confusion.
"Gugu?"
Xiao Nanchen stood up and said, "Let's go."
He looked back at the tidy and spacious yard, and inexplicably recalled the scene of him sitting in the main room and having dinner with Shen Ning.
It's not that I'm thinking about anything else, it's just that this woman is really good at cooking...
"Let's go."
Xiao Nanchen walked out of the yard and closed the gate.
Lian'er poured a basin of water outside the door, and suddenly saw Zhao Nan walking out of the village. She hurriedly called out, "Anan, don't run too far."
Xiao Nanchen didn't look back.
Lian'er was worried and hurried home to call Zhao Tong: "Boss, I saw Anan heading out of the village. Why don't you go and stop him and ask him. Ningning is not here. Don't let her get lost."
Zhao Tong has recovered a lot now. Although he still cannot hunt or do heavy work, he has no problem walking. He has just lost a lot of weight.
Now Zhao Tong already regarded Shen Ning as his savior and his own sister, and he immediately said after hearing this: "I'll go and take a look."
But when I left the hospital, there was no one on the road outside.
"Isn't anyone here?" Zhao Tong called to his wife.
Lian'er ran out to take a look and was also stunned: "She was just there, she can't be walking that fast, I'm going to Ningning's house to check on her..."
Shen Ning didn't know that the little fool who was supposed to stay at home had left without saying goodbye. She was sitting in her mother's house in Shihe Village, taking Shen Qingbai's pulse.
After taking the pulse, Shen Ning withdrew his hand and frowned slightly.
Shen Qingbai didn't have any other illnesses, it was just that his mother was deficient in the womb and he didn't make up for it later, so he was extremely weak.
"I'll prescribe you a dose of medicine first. Take it for half a month and then adjust the prescription."
Shen Qingbai withdrew his hand, looking a little doubtful: "I've never heard my sister say she knows medicine before."
Shen Ning used the old excuse to perfunctorily say: "When I was a child at my grandfather's house, I learned it with my grandfather and a friend of his. Later, I accidentally got a medical book. With my parents like that, I don't want to cause trouble."
The reason seems to make sense.
Shen Ning's grandfather was an old scholar who also knew some medical knowledge. It was also the old man who taught Shen Ning and Shen Qingbai to read when they were young.
Shen Qingbai knew that his grandfather's medical skills could barely be considered as that of a barefoot doctor, but his sister's medical skills were now well-known in the surrounding villages.
Can a barefoot doctor teach a miracle doctor?
If she learned it from medical books, how magical the medical books she talked about would be.
But Shen Qingbai didn't ask, he just thanked her gently, and then asked casually: "Sister, why did you come back suddenly today?"
Chen Ning was a little surprised: "It's not you... Didn't my parents send someone to tell me that you were not feeling well and asked me to come back to see you?"
Shen Qingbai was stunned at first, and his brows immediately frowned.
He knew what kind of character his parents had, so when Zhao Mu was buried, he told his sister not to come back unless necessary.
During this period of time, he hadn't seen them making any moves on his sister, so he was a little relieved. But now they suddenly called his sister back...
Shen Qingbai suddenly stood up, but his movements were too violent. He coughed lightly a few times and said, "Go away."
He said, "Let's go now."
Shen Ning was about to ask why when she suddenly felt dizzy. Almost immediately, she thought of the bitter coarse tea she had just drunk.
Because it was Shen Qingbai who poured the tea, she had no guard against this boy who had a poor health since childhood but was well-educated and sensible in her memory. She also thought that the slight bitterness was because the tea was of poor quality.
Shen Qingbai also thought of something and looked at the teapot.
He has a weak constitution and rarely drinks tea...
The next moment, the courtyard door was kicked open, and then Shen Qingbai saw his parents walking in with a man in gorgeous clothes.
"Master Pan, the dead girl is inside."
Shen Danian licked his face and chuckled, "Her wicked husband went off to war right after she was bought. She must still be a virgin now!"
It turned out to be Pan Jinlian, whom Shen Ning met in the county town.
At this moment, Pan Jinlian's face was full of grim smiles: "I heard that she is not very quiet in her village. She often goes to the house of a pretty boy to show her affection."
Pan Jinlian glanced at him and said, "If you weren't a virgin, you wouldn't be worth ten taels of silver."
Shen Danian kept saying, "It must be, it must be."
Pan Jinlian revealed a lustful expression: "Then I need to inspect the goods first... If I had known your daughter would look like this, I would have taken her when you wanted to sell her to me last time."
Shen Qingbai was stunned.
Even though he already knew what his parents were like, he still couldn't believe it at that moment. He stood weakly in front of Shen Ning, not looking at the heartless gambler, but at his mother: "Mom, how could you treat my sister like this?"
Liu Cuiyun avoided looking.
Shen Danian scolded: "Don't meddle in adult affairs, kid. Why don't you get out of here?"
Shen Qingbai directly picked up the rough teapot on the table, gritted his teeth and looked at the opposite side: "If you dare to come over, I will fight you."
How could Shen Ning not know what was happening? She forced herself to take out the silver needle from the medicine box, and without even looking, stabbed it into her palm.
After barely regaining some consciousness, Shen Ning said coldly to Pan Jinlian: "How much money did they take from you? I will pay you back tenfold."
Pan Jinlian chuckled and said, "No, no, no, I don't lack money, I just need people..."
Shen Ning smashed the teapot into pieces and held the shards in her hand: "Then let's see if you are lucky enough!"
Shen Danian was still scolding: "You little bitch, you don't know what's good for you. It's your blessing that Lord Pan likes you."
Shen Ning picked up the medicine box with his other hand and threw it at the beast. Shen Danian dodged with a cry of surprise, angry and furious, and then simply dragged Shen Qingbai out: "Come on, follow me out, let Lord Pan teach that money-loser a lesson."
Shen Qingbai struggled desperately but was unable to break free. The next moment, he actually picked up a piece of debris from the table and put it against his neck, shouting to his mother: "Let my sister go, or I will commit suicide immediately."
Liu Cuiyun was anxious: "My son wouldn't dare!"
She seemed to have no other choice, and trembled as she said, "Bai'er, that's not your biological sister. Mother took your sister back to her parents' home... and accidentally suffocated her to death on her back. Shen Ning was picked up from the river by mother."
Shen Qingbai was stunned, then immediately said: "You are talking nonsense!"
Liu Cuiyun cried, "It's absolutely true, my son. Mother will never sell her own flesh and blood no matter what. She is not your sister. If I lie to you, I will die a miserable death."
Shen Danian obviously knew this a long time ago: "We can't raise this money-losing girl for nothing... Lord Pan, even though she is not our biological child, we have raised her for more than ten years. The money should still be given to us."
Pan Jinlian was already staring at Shen Ning, whose face was full of hostility.
It's not that he had never robbed a woman before, but those women were either timid, frightened and crying, or crying and wailing for their lives. He had never been looked at so calmly and cruelly by someone.
Pan Jinlian felt that he must be a mean person, otherwise why he couldn't control himself anymore.
"Don't worry, my little beauty. Follow Master Pan and he will only love you from now on."
As he said this, he was about to pounce.
At this moment, Shen Qingbai finally broke free from Shen Danian's grip and rushed directly towards Pan Jinlian: "Don't touch my sister!"
But he was too weak. Pan Jinlian cursed and punched Shen Qingbai back, knocking him against the wall and making him faint.
At this moment, the porcelain piece in Shen Ning's hand slashed out, and Pan Jinlian hurriedly dodged it, but his neck was still cut.
Seeing the blood, Pan Jinlian also became angry: "Since you don't accept my toast, I won't be polite to you anymore."
Shen Danian and his wife dragged Shen Qingbai out, closing the door and smiling apologetically: "Mr. Pan, please do as you please."
But at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared.
Before Shen Danian could react, the door was kicked open with a bang, followed by another thud. Then Shen Danian saw that the arrogant Mr. Pan fell to the ground next to him, with his neck broken at a strange angle.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow flew away holding Shen Ning.
Shen Danian screamed as if he had seen a ghost. When he opened his eyes again, the yard was empty.
Looking at Pan Jinlian's body beside him, Shen Danian's eyes were filled with fear. The next moment, he suddenly got up and rushed into the house to pack his things.
"Hurry, pack up, I want to escape, I want to leave here..."
Pan Jinlian was the brother-in-law of the county magistrate's wife, but he died in their home. If he was caught, he would be dead!
