[Drip—Drip—]
Accompanied by the strong and pungent smell of disinfectant, Shen Rongrong opened her eyes again and saw the familiar red logo of the City Central Hospital and the intensive care bed on the glass.
I looked around dizzily, my brain seemed to be confused.
"You're finally awake." A nurse who was changing the dressing next to her noticed that she had opened her eyes. While changing the IV bottle, she said to her, "How are your eyes? Can you see?"
The scorching light from the explosion hurt my eyes, but it wasn't serious, just some of my vision was white.
After a long while, she finally understood the situation. She raised her hand and grabbed the nurse's clothes and asked, "Where is the man who was with me?"
She showed hesitation and her eyes flickered. After a long while, she said calmly, "There is no man. You were sent back by the 403rd Military Region. They will pay for the medical expenses. You can rest assured and recuperate."
"Military district..." Shen Rongrong's heart sank when she heard this. She struggled to sit up despite the pain in her body, "No! There's a man! He's still... in the mountains! Go save him quickly!"
“Don’t…don’t pull…” Seeing the patient grabbing herself in agitation, with the drip needle about to be pulled away, the nurse quickly held her down: “Stop it! That man…he…is dead!”
"...What?" Shen Rongrong's eyes widened and she shook her head in panic: "No, not those people... He is in the cave, in a small cave!"
"Yes, I know. That man saved everyone." The nurse pushed her back to bed and explained, "The homemade landmines were not very powerful. You and those people just fainted. The explosion caused a fire. The early spring snow had just melted, and the leaves were damp, so the fire didn't start, but it was full of toxic smoke. He went back and forth to save people too many times, and he lost too much blood from the gunshot wound... Don't blame yourself too much. The criminals were in the next ward. I was there when the police questioned them. I heard from them that a woman who was collecting mountain products revealed that there were soldiers coming to investigate, so they were overly cautious. It has nothing to do with you."
Shen Rongrong's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, tears flowed uncontrollably, and she sat motionless on the sickbed.
Many spiritual beings say that one must repay emotional debts before ascending to heaven, otherwise one will easily lose the chance to become an immortal.
It was just a snail, it never dared to think about becoming an immortal, let alone the tribulation of love. Until it met the master who accepted it as a disciple, it heard many small previews of its destined love debt from the old man who was good at fortune-telling.
That person should have had a glorious life with children and grandchildren around him, but because of it, his fate was filled with misfortunes.
And it has many merits, not only its own, but also those of the other party. Perhaps it owes many offspring to it, so it reincarnates into a very fertile snail to repay its gratitude.
In the middle of the night, he also saw a vague figure sitting by the bed and sighing, saw the old paper with unclear blue fine words, the wedding ring was separated alone, and someone held his hand tightly when he was dying.
The ancestors said that the cycle of cause and effect is already set, so don't be anxious about anything, and do more good deeds. If someone bites its head in the future, it means that the calamity has arrived and it is time to repay the debt. What will happen at that time depends on your own hard work.
It was looking forward to the appearance of another snail, guessing that the other snail might be a blind snail, gnawing its head as food...Now that I think about it, pen writing, wedding rings, etc. all correspond to the current era. Just like the saying "Zhuangzi dreamed of a butterfly in the morning", it is really hard to say which world is real.
But she had just met him, and hadn't had to make the painful choice between love debt and becoming an immortal like other spirit beasts, yet he died inexplicably?
Didn’t we agree to return a bunch of children to him?
Seeing that the patient was still in a daze, the nurse didn't say much. She changed the medicine and left the ward.
Another nurse happened to pass by the door and said to her, "The guys over there have confessed. They are a gang of hooligans. They found some old hunting rifles and homemade landmines in the mountains. They cheated people into gambling and then collected usury... They will probably be in prison for the rest of their lives."
"Really? I wonder how long they'll have to stay in our hospital... I don't want to serve them. I'm scared."
"Why are you afraid of the police?" the nurse said, and suddenly lowered her voice: "They said that the woman who leaked the military secrets was in her twenties. She was wearing a large mask so her face couldn't be seen clearly, but there was a red birthmark on her wrist... If you find her and report her, you will be rewarded 200 yuan if your identity is confirmed!"
About twenty minutes later, Shen Yueying walked in quickly from outside the door.
She was wearing a floral dress. When she saw her sister sitting on the sickbed, a hint of anger appeared on her face. She approached her and scolded her in a low voice.
"Shen Rongrong, you are amazing. You have been at the Chen family for so many days and you have never said that you are not me! After that old man woke up, he wanted to find a grandson's wife, so he asked a group of people from the Chen family to come to the Shen family to invite me back! Gu Yifeng knew that I had other engagements, and now he is ignoring me! Are you doing this on purpose?"
Shen Rongrong didn't move at all.
Shen Yueying grabbed her collar and shook her as she did before, "Don't play dead! Come with me to the Chen family and explain everything! They said that you ruined your reputation by finding a man before marriage, and the Gu family didn't want you, so they had to replace me! It was you who went to the Chen family to pretend to be me! What do you mean by one woman marrying two men? Get up!"
At this moment, Shen Rongrong suddenly saw a jade bracelet on Shen Yueying's wrist which was holding her collar.
A red bruise was squeezed out from under the jade bracelet, which was particularly conspicuous.
She raised her eyes coldly, her gaze like a sword, shooting at Shen Yueying fiercely, and suddenly raised her hand to hold her wrist: "How did you do this?"
I feel that my sister has changed. The coldness in her eyes seems to be able to freeze the air. She is no longer the slow and silly girl she was a while ago.
Shen Yueying avoided her eyes and twisted her wrist to free herself: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"I don't understand? The group said that the person who leaked the information was a woman in her twenties with a red birthmark on her hand. How do you explain that?"
"This is..." Shen Yueying stammered fiercely: "This is not a birthmark! This is an injury!... If you want to frame me, you have to provide some evidence!"
Shen Rongrong laughed, then her expression instantly turned silent. Without saying a word, she pulled out the needle from her hand, raised her hand and slapped her sister in the face!
With a snap!
Shen Yueying covered her cheeks in surprise and immediately reached out to hit back!
Shen Rongrong took the slap from her and pinched her hand tightly: "I don't have any evidence, but I know it's you! Shen Yueying! Just because you selfishly wanted to change fate! An innocent soldier died!"
She didn't know why Shen Yueying did this, but she knew that military matters were kept confidential, and Shen Yueying was a military family member in her previous life, so she knew a lot of things that others didn't know.
Since the debt of love cannot be repaid, it can be turned into a blood debt, which can be repaid just as well!
"I will make you pay with blood! You will live in the abyss of pain for the rest of your life! You will never be able to turn over a new leaf!"
After saying that, Shen Rongrong shook her off, turned around and hurried out of the ward, not knowing where she was going.
Shen Yueying had never seen Shen Rongrong like this before. She was so angry that she jumped up and shouted after her: "Shen Rongrong! You are such a disrespectful thing! I am your sister, how can you talk to me like this?"
At this time, some people had gathered around, pointing at the two people and talking about them.
Shen Rongrong was already accustomed to being watched, so she pushed through the crowd and walked along the familiar corridor straight to Ward 302 of the respiratory department.
When I opened the door, I saw Grandma Chen sitting by the window and being fed by her granddaughter Chen Yan.
Regardless of the expression on Shen Yueying's face who was following behind him, he knelt down in front of his grandmother's bed and shouted.
"Grandma! My name is Shen Rongrong! I'm the adopted daughter of the Shen family! Please make the decision! Let me marry into the Chen family in place of my sister!"
