Chapter 8
Shuyao was woken up by the sound of Xixi. Although her body returned to the age of six, the problem of being easily awakened from light sleep caused by fear and fatigue in her previous life seemed to have not changed.
The candle was extinguished, but it was already dawn. The sound came from the writing on the small bed opposite. He was leaning on the bed with his eyes half closed, but his little hands were groping on the small cabinet beside the bed, muttering "Water, water."
Woolen cloth?"
Shuwen is particularly prone to thirst, especially in the early morning. He will always wake up thirsty and have to sit up and drink some water before going back to sleep. Mom or my eldest brother will remember to put a glass of water on the small cabinet beside his bed every night before going to bed. Yesterday
There was so much confusion that my eldest brother was forgotten.
Shuyao stood up and walked to the table. Then she remembered that the teapot and cakes were in the mahogany box. She quickly took them out and put them on the table. She poured a glass of water and fed Shuwen.
Shuwen drank the water, fell down and continued to sleep. His little red mouth wriggled a few times, looking very satisfied and very cute.
Shuyao felt soft in her heart and looked at Shuwen with a smile. In this life, she would never let anything happen to Shuwen again.
The door opened with a soft creak, and Shujie came in. Seeing the cup in Shuyao's hand, he said apologetically: "I forgot to prepare water for Wen'er last night. I just remembered it. Yaoer quickly went to bed.
Go to sleep for a while, brother will call you later."
Shuyao came over and took Shujie's hand: "I don't want to sleep anymore. Brother, come here. You should also drink some water and eat two snacks."
Shujie shook his head: "Brother, I won't eat. I have asked Cuizhu to make breakfast. I will eat porridge and steamed buns with everyone later. I will save the snacks for you and Wen'er when you are hungry today." Today is busy, and he is worried about that time.
I don't care about my younger siblings.
"No, I want big brother to eat. If big brother doesn't eat, I won't let Wen'er eat, and I won't eat either." Shuyao pouted and shook Shujie's arm, her eyes turning red.
Shujie quickly coaxed: "Big brother, eat, big brother, eat, Yao'er is good, Yao'er won't cry." Shujie loves these twin siblings very much, but Shuyao has never been as affectionate to Shujie as Shuwen. Yesterday, from Wu
After returning from the drugstore, Shujie found that Shuyao had begun to rely heavily on him, which made him happy and sad at the same time. The sad thing was that the young sister must have lost her parents in a short period of time before she quickly became sensible. If he could, he would rather she
She is still the carefree and willful girl.
Shuyao happily poured a glass of water for Shujie, took out a piece of red bean cake, peeled off the oil paper on the outside, and fed it to Shujie's mouth.
Shujie just took a sip of water and was stunned: "Why does the water seem a little sweet today? It tastes really good."
Shu Yao secretly thought that it must be the reason for the increase in spirit, and replied Nunuo: "Because it was Yao'er who poured it for the elder brother with his own hands."
Shujie smiled and touched Shuyao's little head: "Yes, how can the water poured by Yao'er not be sweet?" He didn't think much at the moment and ate two pieces of pastry under Shuyao's gentle care.
Today's pastries are also very delicious. It seems that I am really hungry after waiting all night.
"Brother, where are your and Wen'er's treasure chests? Yao'er has to hide your valuable and important things." Shuyao suddenly whispered in Shujie's ear.
Shujie was stunned for a moment, and then thought about the behavior of his third uncle and his wife Zhen Dafu yesterday, which frightened his sister. He hugged Shuyao on his lap and sat down distressedly: "Yaoer, don't be afraid, big brother is here."
.”
Shu Yao shook her head: "Yao'er is not afraid, but mother said that uncle, aunt, and Cuizhu want to steal our family's things, and Yao'er wants to hide it, what do you say, brother?"
Sure enough, it was my mother who discovered something was wrong with Cuizhu. No wonder they rushed to the cellar as soon as the fire was out yesterday. Shujie knew that his father had brought two big boxes back, but he didn't know what was inside.
Yesterday, before going out, his mother seemed to want to say something to him and kept tugging on his sleeve, but Cuizhu interrupted her. Later, his mother passed out again, and he hurried out to find Wu Langzhong.
Putting it all together, Shujie figured out something. No wonder his uncle and third uncle came to their house yesterday, but no one from Xia Mansion had ever been to their house.
"Mom also said that my uncle, aunt, and Cuizhu wanted to sell Yao'er and Wen'er to others. Mom asked you to sell Cuizhu. Cuizhu's body was hidden by Yao'er, and they couldn't find it." Shu Yao.
His little hands were holding Shujie tightly, as if he was very scared.
Shujie was so angry that he wanted to rush out immediately and drive Zhen Dafu and others away, but the "trembling" of his little sister in his arms made him immediately turn his mind back and hugged Shuyao tightly: "Yaoer, don't be afraid, big brother is not
I won’t let anyone harm a hair on your and Wen’er’s head.”
Shuyao nodded: "Well, brother, tell me quickly where the things are." There was already a big noise outside, it should be Zhen Dafu and the others who were getting up.
Although Shujie was wondering where Shuyao could hide things, he still pointed to the desk: "They are all in the drawers. The first drawer is mine, and the second drawer is Shuwen's."
He took out the key and gave it to Shuyao.
"Brother, go out and take a look quickly, lest those people make trouble in our house again." Shuyao urged.
"Okay, big brother is out. I'll bring you some clothes later and help you put them on." Shujie put Shuyao down, stood up and went out. After a while, the neighbors will arrive.
Shuyao walked over and locked the door, took out Shuwen's key from the purse under Shuwen's pillow, immediately opened two drawers, and put all the things inside into the mahogany box. He looked around the room again and put the valuables in the box.
I collected a few things, including the elder brother's fox fur cloak and wild wolf skin robe, which were given by Aunt Lan, the wife of Weiyuan Hou Mansion. Shuyao knew how greedy that Lin family was. In her previous life, these two valuable items were
The clothes appeared on cousins Zhen Kebao and Zhen Keying.
After doing all this, Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief, sat at the table, drank a glass of water and ate a snack. It was really delicious, and the water was a little sweet.
There was about a cup of water left in the teapot, and Shuyao poured it into Shuwen's cup. Then he woke up Shuwen and asked him to eat two snacks and drink a cup of water. When he turned around, he poured the rest
All the snacks are collected.
Shuwen smacked his lips: "Sister, I also want red bean cake." Why is this snack so delicious today?
Shuyao shook her head: "No, I will drink some porridge after I go out to wash up later, and save snacks for when I am hungry in the afternoon."
Shuwen has always been well-behaved and not insistent, but is a little strange: "Sister, I haven't washed up yet, why do you want me to hide in the room and eat snacks secretly?"
Shuyao pointed outside and whispered: "There are so many people today, and the snacks are not enough. You can't let everyone watch you eat, right? You can't tell others that you have snacks when you go out."
"Oh," Shuwen didn't ask any more questions. He put on his mourning clothes with Shuyao's help. Normally, his eldest brother would help him get dressed, but now that his parents are both gone, his eldest brother was working very hard. The sensible Shuwen didn't say a word.
, and Shu Yao clumsily put on the mourning clothes based on yesterday's memory.
Shuyao opened the door: "Go out to find brother and bring in my mourning clothes. By the way, Wen'er, you have to remember to stay away from your uncle and aunt."
Shuwen nodded, he really hated the uncle and aunt he met for the first time.
Aunt Li brought in the Xiaoyi. She helped Shuyao put it on before taking Shuyao out to wash up.
While everyone was having breakfast, Shuyao saw Zhen Dafu and Lin, who had already eaten, sneaking into her and Shujie's room, and sneered secretly.
