After getting off the urban-rural bus, Yu Bai saw his elder brother Yu Sheng standing under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.
He was wearing an old shirt that had been washed so much that it looked bleached. He was tall and straight, but if you looked closely, you would notice that his feet were placed a little unnaturally.
Seeing Yu Bai get off the car, Yu Sheng's face immediately broke into a bright smile.
"noob!"
He strode forward and took Yu Bai's luggage, but accidentally pulled the old injury on his leg and frowned slightly.
"Brother, let me take it." Yu Bai wanted to grab the luggage with a distressed look on his face.
"It's okay, this is nothing."
Yu Sheng smiled as if he was relaxed, but his limp became more obvious when he walked.
In fact, Yu Sheng’s leg was not born lame.
When he graduated from junior high school, in order to help Zhou Fengxia share the burden of supporting the family, Yu Sheng stopped going to school and chose to work outside.
But he was young and no regular manufacturers wanted him, so Yu Sheng had to go to the construction site.
During a construction project, the scaffolding collapsed and he fell from a height and broke his leg.
What is even more despairing is that because his family had no money and he could not get timely medical treatment, his legs became disabled and completely lame.
The black-hearted construction site contractor refused to take responsibility, saying that Yu Sheng was careless and only gave him 2,000 yuan in nutrition fees and sent him off.
When Yu Bai thought of this, his heart ached like needles.
"Brother, I will definitely heal your leg!"
Yu Sheng looked at the determination in Yu Bai's eyes, smiled and touched her head: "Okay, big brother will wait."
Yu Bai knew that Yu Sheng said this just to comfort her.
After all, more than ten years have passed, and many doctors say that even with corrective surgery, it will be difficult to recover.
But Yu Bai now has the crystal core.
Han Yi said that crystal cores are also useful to ordinary people. At the very least, they can strengthen the body and even evolve into superpowers.
Yu Bai thought that as long as he could raise enough money for the surgery, he could let Yu Sheng undergo the corrective surgery and then give him the crystal core.
Yu Sheng’s leg will definitely get better.
Chapter 5: Opening the West Gate
When I got home and opened the door, the aroma of food hit my nose.
Zhou Fengxia was wearing an apron and was bringing dishes out of the kitchen. When she saw Yu Bai and Yu Sheng, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"You're back! Wash your hands and have dinner."
Braised pork, sweet and sour fish, stir-fried bok choy, and a big bowl of steaming egg soup, the table was full of Yu Bai's favorite dishes.
Her nose felt sore, and she walked a few steps behind Zhou Fengxia, hugged her waist tightly, and called out sweetly: "Mom~"
Zhou Fengxia's body stiffened, and then she gently patted Yu Bai's hand.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. She knew that her daughter had been wronged.
But she did not ask immediately, instead she invited Yu Sheng and Yu Bai to have dinner.
"Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
At the dinner table, Yu Bai held back her tears and tried to pretend nothing had happened while eating.
But the more she did this, the more distressed Zhou Fengxia and Yu Sheng felt.
Zhou Fengxia asked her only after they finished their meal.
"Xiaobai, did someone bully you?"
Yu Sheng, who was standing by, went straight to the point: "Did Zhao Jia do something wrong to you?"
Yu Bai's eyes were red and he nodded slightly.
"Yes, he cheated."
"But Mom, Brother, I'm not crying because of him. I dreamed about Dad."
"Dad said something big is going to happen to our family..."
She paused, took a deep breath, and slowly recounted everything that had happened in her previous life as if it were a dream.
Zhao Jia’s betrayal was just the beginning, and Zhou Anan’s revenge was the beginning of the nightmare.
My mother was forced to drink pesticides, my eldest brother died tragically, my second brother jumped from a building, my third brother was in a car accident, my fourth brother died unjustly in prison, and my youngest brother was bullied to the point of insanity...
Every word Yu Bai said was like a sharp knife, piercing Zhou Fengxia and Yu Sheng's hearts.
"Xiaobai, my daughter! What a nightmare!" Zhou Fengxia hugged Yu Bai and sobbed in pain.
Yu Sheng's face turned ashen, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles turned white.
After a long time, he finally said in a hoarse voice: "Mom, Xiaobai, this is just a dream, don't be afraid, it won't be real."
"Brother," Yu Bai raised his eyes, misty with tears, but remarkably determined, "If this was just a dream, why am I so scared?"
She said, spreading her palms.
Then a black crystal core appeared in her palm, emitting a faint light.
Zhou Fengxia's sobbing stopped abruptly. She stared blankly at the black crystal core in her daughter's hand, her eyes full of shock and confusion.
Yu Sheng also widened his eyes, looking at this thing that appeared out of nowhere in disbelief.
Then he suddenly stood up, walked quickly to the window, and pulled the curtains to block out the light from outside.
"What's this?"
"Crystal core." Yu Bai handed over the crystal core.
Yu Sheng took the crystal core, and a violent shock instantly spread throughout his body, like an electric current passing through his body, making his palm numb, and the crystal core fell out of his hand and onto the ground.
This power was overbearing and unfamiliar, but it strangely made him feel comfortable all over, as if an old illness that had plagued him for years was relieved at this moment.
"Brother!" Yu Bai exclaimed, his heart suddenly shrinking.
Zhou Fengxia was so frightened that she grabbed her son's arm and said, "Shengzi, are you okay?"
Yu Sheng took a deep breath and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
He bent down to pick up the crystal core. He still felt warmth in his hand, and the strange energy surged into his body again. This time he was prepared, and the crystal core did not fall again.
He closed his eyes, feeling the power flowing down his arms into his chest, and then slowly flowing to his abdomen. His legs, which had been aching slightly, also began to heat up.
Yu Sheng could even feel the heat driving away the coldness that had settled in his legs inch by inch.
