The boy nodded in her arms. She put away her anger and whispered softly, afraid that she would scare the child again," I'm your sister!”
The boy opened his mouth but could not make a sound. She suddenly let go of him, got out of bed, and poured a cup of tea." I think you need it to moisten your dry throat.”
The boy was still unable to get up. He could only slowly pass the water over. It took him a long time to finish the small cup of tea. After his dry and painful throat was moistened by water, the boy could say simple sentences, but his voice was hoarse." You saved me?”
She nodded silently, put the cup back on the table, and sat down by the bed. "Tell me, what's your name? How old are you this year?"
The boy answered honestly," Pei 'er, eleven years old. Where's sister?”
"Leng Shuiyun." After saying these three simple words, she gently stroked the boy's forehead.
That's right, she was Leng Shuiyun. When she saw this farmer, she arranged a scene. First, she placed the bundle on Dark Cloud and told it to run away. Then, she pulled her hair, tore her clothes, and wiped the dust on her face. His speech was tearful, vivid and flawless. They successfully made the old woman feel that they were very pitiful. Not to mention that Pei 'er's wound could be treated in time, so that it would not become infected.
Pei 'er needed to rest, so they had no choice but to disturb her for many days. During this period, the boy did not speak much. Even if the old woman asked him, he would mostly say what Leng Shuiyun had told him in advance. He admired Sister Yun' er very much. How could she make up such a set of lies? It wasn't that she hadn't asked her before. When she asked her out of curiosity that day, Sister Yun 'Er only said," If you didn't lie, you would have died in the wilderness long ago.”
Pei 'er was very obedient. She came to eat when she was told to eat and went to bed when she was told to rest. She was so obedient that she lacked self-awareness and did not seem very cheerful. Leng Shuiyun liked Pei 'er very much. She wished she had a younger brother.
Pei 'er was getting better, so Leng Shuiyun decided not to disturb the old couple any longer. They decided to leave early the next morning.
He held Pei 'er's hand. His hand was still cold under the warm May sun.
"Leng Shuiyun is extremely grateful for the two of you saving her life. When I return to my uncle's house, I will definitely send someone to thank the two of you.”Leng Shuiyun pulled Pei 'er away.
She had asked Pei 'er where he would go from now on, but he kept shaking his head, indicating that he had nowhere to go. Pei 'er told Leng Shuiyun everything about her family background. She could only say that she was really pitiful and needed someone to take good care of her.
They walked very far, so far that Pei 'er couldn't see the farmer when he turned around. Sister Yun 'Er suddenly stopped, causing him to be unable to stop and bump into her back. Leng Shuiyun smiled and pulled him to her side. Her whistle resounded through the sky. A black horse ran out of the forest and stopped beside Sister Yun 'er.
Leng Shuiyun took off the bag from the horse and winked at Pei 'er playfully." I'm so tired from acting for you these past few days. I can't eat or sleep well. I'm going to change now. Don't come and peek."”
Pei 'er was amused by Leng Shuiyun's complaints. He felt helpless when he saw her mischievous wink. He only came to his senses when he saw her run into the forest. Would Sister Yun' er leave him behind forever? Leaning against the tree trunk, he sat down and wrapped his arms around his knees. He seemed to lack a sense of security. In his heart, he repeatedly warned himself that Sister Yun 'er would not leave him behind. She would not abandon him. Pei' er was so obedient.
Tears of sadness flowed down his face. All the grievances he had suffered recently surged up. He was really afraid, very afraid.
Leng Shuiyun came out of the forest after changing her clothes. She was wearing a long white robe that accentuated her elegance. Pei 'er curled up under the tree and cried. Her heart ached for him. She squatted down and cupped her tear-covered face." Why are you crying alone?"”
Her vision was blurry and her eyes were misty, but she could see Leng Shuiyun's warm smile clearly and feel the warmth of her palm. Pei 'er threw herself into her arms, sobbing non-stop, as if she wanted to vent all her emotions. In the end, she cried out loud.
"Is Pei 'er not good enough? Does Sister want to abandon Pei' er?”
"No, why would I? Didn't sister come back?”Every word was spoken in a gentle voice. Even Leng Shuiyun was surprised. Since when did she become so gentle?
"Pei 'er, be good. Pei' er, don't be afraid. In the future, just follow big sister, okay?”In a low voice, she coaxed the boy who was still crying." If anyone bullies Pei 'er in the future, I'll help you beat him up.”
Although her words were a little vicious, she said it with a smile. Pei 'er hid in her arms after hearing it. Her voice was very soft, but Leng Shuiyun heard it clearly." Those people are really bad…Pei' er…Pei 'er can't break free from them no matter how hard she tries. I'm so scared, really scared!”
"Pei 'er, I want to tell you something. Don't be surprised!”Pei 'er raised her head, which was buried in her arms, and listened to her in confusion." Now, even if Sister hits them, they won't feel anything. Because when I saved Pei' er, they were already killed by me. If Pei 'er still hates them, I don't mind taking you to dig them out and whip their corpses.”
Pei 'er opened her mouth and stared blankly at the woman in front of her. Her smile was warm just a moment ago, but now it was as cold as ice.
"Why? Are you scared?" He could feel his sister's hand caressing his hair. It was very light.
Pei 'er struggled out of her embrace and said firmly," I'm not afraid!”
"Since Pei 'er isn't afraid of big sister, then wipe your tears. I'll bring you to eat delicious food and buy some new clothes.”As soon as Leng Shuiyun finished speaking, Pei 'er felt the world spin. He had already been carried on the back of the horse and was sitting in his sister's arms. At this moment, the dark clouds had disappeared.
Pei 'er looked at the town they had just entered. It was so prosperous. Leng Shuiyun went straight to the shop selling clothes. He pushed Pei 'er in first. The shop owner was doing the accounts when he heard a sound. He quickly looked up and saw a boy with patched clothes standing in his shop and looking around. The boss already thought that he was a little beggar, so he quickly went forward to chase him out.
Pei 'er also understood what the boss meant. She turned around and said to the woman behind her," Sister Pei' er doesn't need new clothes.”
"No, I said I'll buy it!" The pleasant female voice sounded a little tough, rejecting the boy's words.
The shop owner paid attention to the woman with a tough attitude. She was very beautiful. No, beautiful was definitely not enough to describe her beauty. She didn't look very old. She was wearing a white satin gown with a black satin belt around her waist. Her hair was tied up with a jade hairpin on her head. The clothes were very ordinary and not gorgeous. Those who did not know the goods would not be able to tell. However, the boss could tell at a glance that the long robe was definitely of the highest quality. This was because he knew that there was only one shop that had the embroidery on the white silk. That was the most famous purple embroidery workshop in the capital, an embroidery workshop that specialized in serving high-ranking officials and nobles.
The boss was beaming with joy. He ran forward to greet her and introduced the most expensive clothes in the shop." What do you need, Miss? This is a new style launched by our shop. The fabric is made of Jiangnan's unique mulberry silk, and this one..."
Leng Shuiyun interrupted his chatter and brought the little guy hiding behind her to the boss." I want something he can wear. It's comfortable but not too gorgeous. It doesn't matter what the fabric is. If it's not custom-made, it's fine. But it has to be fast. I don't have much time to wait."”
The boss nodded and bowed when he heard that. He smiled in his heart and said yes a few times before running to get the clothes.
Leng Shuiyun looked at the clothes that the boss had picked out. Her eyebrows suddenly jumped up and she resisted the urge to curl her up. Pei 'er felt that the dress was very beautiful, but it was too flashy. She glanced at her sister from the corner of her eye. Wow, wow, as expected, the corners of her mouth were twitching.
The next moment, Leng Shuiyun spoke. It was not her usual tone. Her voice was a little soft and a little mean." Are you deaf or retarded? Miss, I want plain, plain!”
The last two words were almost shouted out. The boss was so frightened that he almost fell down. His head was almost shrinking into his collar.
Pei 'er reached out and tugged at Leng Shuiyun's sleeve, reminding her to pay attention to her image. The reason was because many people were looking into the shop. It was so embarrassing. Leng Shuiyun calmed down a little and glared at the shop owner who was standing at the side." Aren't you going to choose a few pieces?”
Although it was a question, it still made the shop owner feel a chill down his spine. He ran to the back to get his clothes.
A few more sets of clothes were placed in front of him. They were still to his liking. He casually picked up one and asked Pei 'er to try it on at the back.
Pei 'er took it and touched the fabric. It felt really good. She liked the light blue one too, but it must be very expensive. She placed the dress on the table and shook her head at Leng Shuiyun, indicating that she didn't want it.
Leng Shuiyun laughed." I still have the money to buy you a few more sets of decent clothes.”
In other words, you don't look like you're wearing clothes. Then, she said," If you dress like this, you'll think that I'm an elder sister who's abusing a child. You're dressed like a human, but your younger brother is wearing tattered clothes?”
The boss actually nodded at the side in agreement, as if she was that kind of sister.
"Sister saving me and taking me in is already a favor to Pei 'er. How could I spend my sister's money to buy these expensive clothes?”After saying that, Pei 'er turned around and was about to leave.
Leng Shuiyun sneered and took out a banknote and slapped it on the table in front of the boss. She took the clothes that she wanted him to try on and said to the boy who was about to step out of the shop," Anyway, the money has already been paid. You would rather I tear it up than try it on, right?”
The goading message successfully stopped Pei 'er's footsteps. She turned around and saw Leng Shuiyun holding the clothes. She looked like she was going to tear them apart if she didn't wear them. She went forward and grabbed her clothes, shouting," Pei 'er, try it!”
She patted his little head dotingly." Be good."”
The shop owner couldn't understand the strange conversation between the two, but when he thought of the money he could earn, he still served them happily.
Leng Shuiyun held a cup of tea handed over by the shop owner and asked him in a calm tone," Boss, are there any good restaurants in our city?”
"There is one in the west of the city. It's a very famous restaurant called Shanghe Restaurant. The food there was not bad. It was a place where only dignitaries went, but it was a little expensive.”The boss began to introduce Shanghe Restaurant to her.
"Oh, that doesn't matter. It's fine as long as you eat well.”
"To be honest, I've never seen anyone as concerned about a child as you are. You bought clothes and treated me to a meal." The boss began to praise her, almost to the point of praising her to the heavens.
"Hehe, Boss, stop praising me. It's not that I'm kind, but he's really too pitiful.”At this moment, Pei 'er had just finished trying on the clothes and was coming out.
She stopped in front of Leng Shuiyun and asked weakly," Is it nice?”
She did not answer him. She pulled him in front of her and turned around. She slapped his back fiercely. Pei 'er shouted," It hurts!”
The shop owner couldn't stand it anymore and quickly asked," Did anything happen?”
"Don't worry. If something really happens, he definitely won't be able to cry out in pain. If you know it hurts, remember it for your sister. In the future, no matter when and where, you must straighten your back and never lower your head.”
Pei 'er's eyes instantly contracted. He suddenly understood that his sister was teaching him to be an indomitable person who would never bend his knees.
Leng Shuiyun rubbed the spot where she had taken the photo. Seeing that he looked very beautiful in his new clothes, she praised," It's not bad. It fits you so well. Just wear it."”
