20. Chapter 020

Sister Hui was originally happy that Shen Shu took the initiative to invite her out to go out, but when she heard Liuli's words at this moment, she was stunned.

Sister Hui'er did have a hard time in her last life, but that kind of suffering is also relative, even if she was the saddest, she was just sent to Zhuangzi, but she still had no worries about food and clothing, and there were people around her.

Her life, whether it is beautiful or down, is limited to the courtyard of the deep house, and she has never seen the suffering of the world.

In her last life, she lived to be twenty-nine years old, and after "dying" in Zhuangzi, she was once back to the age of eight. In the eyes of others, she just had a serious illness, although she looked dangerous, but she still survived peacefully, but the fact is that time has gone back to her for more than 20 years, and the eight-year-old thing is too distant a memory for her, even if she tries to recall, she only remembers the regret left by being young and ignorant and unable to see people clearly, which is unforgettable.

In addition, it was not long before the flood that swept the whole of Liuzhou. Because the whole state under Xie Changning's jurisdiction was also included, the flood disaster not only harmed the people below, but also led to a series of disasters later. However, Sister Hui will still have an impression of this incident, not only because of this, but also because she later married a good-for-nothing gentleman, and an aunt who was carried into the door by that person was from Liuzhou, although she was the daughter of a merchant, she had a good life in the house, and her mother gave her a large amount of money when she was married.

The maid who was waiting for her once talked to Sister Hui about the aunt in a disdainful tone, saying that her family used to be just an ordinary merchant, and the reason why she was able to make a fortune was because of the flood disaster in Liuzhou. Her family had a lot of rice and grain due to an accident, and after the flood, it was backlogged for a period of time, and then sold it at several times the price, accumulating a lot of silver, and later started a family with this silver money, and became a well-known wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River.

And this aunt is the last person to "send" her away, so Sister Hui will remember this incident and remember to take this opportunity to make money.

But she never thought that for her, she only earned some silver, but for the people below, it cost her life.

――

"Sister Hui, what's wrong?" Shen Shu's voice sounded in her ears.

Sister Hui came back to her senses when she heard the voice, looked at Shen Shu, bit her lip slightly, and stopped talking, "Mother, I ......" The words were stuck at this point, and she didn't know what to say.

Shen Shu touched her head and smiled, "I see that your face is not very good, is it uncomfortable?" if it is uncomfortable, let's go back, you can go to the green at any time, if you miss it this time, there will be a next time." ”

Sister Hui is actually fine, but she is not in the mood to have fun at the moment, and now when she heard Shen Shu say this, she also followed the words, "It's okay, it's just a bit disappointing." ”

Shen Shu wanted to say that it was okay, but suddenly thought that this time it was not only Sister Hui who was brought out, but also Brother Zhen, so she looked down at the child in her arms, and the next moment she met a pair of round eyes, and when she saw her, she asked crisply, "Mother, is Sister she uncomfortable?"

Shen Shu nodded. I heard Brother Zhen ask again, "Then are we going back?"

Shen Shu continued to nod, gently touching his head, and asked, "I can't go to play, will Brother Zhen feel sorry?"

When Brother Zhen heard this, he hesitated slightly, but still shook his head, "Although I really want to play, Sister Ah is not feeling well, let's go back to Sister Ah and ask for a doctor first...... Next time, come out and play next time. He paused when he said this, and then added, "Mother, when Sister is well, we will come out to play, okay?"

He is only a little more than three years old this year, and in his previous life, he was just in kindergarten, and he was at the age when he was worried about parents and teachers all day long, his biological mother Shen Yu fell ill because of giving birth to him, and there was not much time to teach him, and his father was a busy man, so he only had one sister with him, but he could know how to care about them, not only was he a good one in himself, but he also had a lot of credit for Sister Hui.

Shen Shu laughed when she heard this, then lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead, "Brother Zhen knows that he is considerate of his sister, what a good boy." ”

The ancients were more subtle in expressing love or liking, even if it was a mother to a child, hugging it was the greatest intimacy, how could there be a direct kiss like Shen Shu, and Brother Zhen was so old.

Shen Shu looked up to look at Brother Zhen again, only to see that his originally white and tender little face suddenly turned red, secretly glanced at her, and quickly lowered his head, and soon even his ears were very red, looking very cute.

"Mother, you ......" he buried his head in Shen Shu's arms halfway through his words, and the rest of the words were so vague that he couldn't hear clearly.

When the rest of the people in the car saw it, they were a little surprised at first, and then they laughed, and Sister Hui was the same, she was originally a little depressed, but because of this, the scene was slightly better and a lot easier.

The carriage went a little further, turned around at the wide junction in front of it, and went back.

I didn't go far when I came, and I naturally went back very quickly. The carriage drove back to the county seat, crossed the lively long street, and finally stopped at the entrance of the mansion. Shen Shu got out of the carriage first, then turned around and stretched out her hand to help Sister Hui'er.

Sister Hui'er's little hand also brought some baby fat, and there was some flesh in her hand, after Shen Shu helped her down, she stretched out her hand to hug Brother Zhen'er, there was still a red tide on his little face that had not faded, standing on the carriage and hesitating, he still threw himself into Shen Shu's arms.

Liuli and Amber on the side were both a little stunned. What Shen Shu did was originally what they should have done, but before they could react, Shen Shu did it, and they could only watch.

The group got out of the carriage and entered the mansion, Shen Shu sent Sister Hui back to her own yard, and after arriving in the house, she asked her to sit down first, and then called Liuli to come forward and asked her to invite the doctor to come to the house.

It's not that she doesn't want to go to the county hospital before she stops by, but in this dynasty, all people from large families, especially female dependents, generally don't choose to go to the hospital if the situation is really urgent, but invite the doctor to the house. In addition, she also knew the true situation of Sister Hui'er, so she was not in such a hurry, and only mentioned it when she returned home.

Before Shen Shu's words fell, she felt her sleeves sinking, and when she lowered her head to look, she saw Sister Hui'er's little hand pulling her, "What's wrong?" Shen Shu asked her.

Sister Hui bit her lip, "Mother, I probably felt uncomfortable because I was too stuffy in the car, but now that I'm much better, I don't need to ask a doctor." ”

Shen Shu asked with concern, "Is it really okay?"

Sister Hui nodded, "Yes." ”

"Oh well. Shen Shu was kind and touched her head, "Since you say so, then don't invite it first, and if you feel uncomfortable later, remember to sue me." ”

After Shen Shu finished speaking, she saw that Sister Hui was still pulling her sleeve and looking at her with an expectant look, "Mother, can you stay and talk to me for a while?"

Shen Shu didn't want to leave, but when she said this, she knew that she probably wanted to ask about the previous matter, so she nodded in response.

Sister Hui coaxed Brother Zhen'er and asked the maid in the house to take him back first, and then told all the people who were waiting to retreat, and only she and Shen Shu were left in the house, so she spoke, "Mother, I was on the road just now, I heard Sister Liuli say those things, and I couldn't figure it out, and I wanted to talk to you." ”

Shen Shu nodded.

Sister Hui continued, "If you can know in advance about the kind of disaster that Liuli said, what should you do?

Shen Shu shook her head and said, "Sister Hui, chasing interests is a ...... The nature of businessmen is that when the profits are good enough, they can do anything, including betraying the country. In this case, as you said, even if you know in advance that there will be a disaster, and stock up food for emergency relief afterwards, it is actually just a drop in the bucket. After all, your food is limited, and you can only save a momentary emergency, and when your grain is sold out, the rest of the people will only become more rampant, and even send someone to buy something at a low price in your shop, and then sell it several times the price. ”

After listening to this, Sister Hui was silent for a moment, and then asked in a low tone, "Then don't do anything?" Even if you can know first, you can only watch like this? Or I can make money like this, anyway, without me, there will be other people's ......."

Shen Shu smiled, "Actually, you can change your mind, since you already knew in advance that a disaster would occur, instead of making amends afterwards, why didn't you take precautions in advance and prevent the disaster from happening? ”

When Sister Hui heard this, she was a little stunned, "What...... It was a flood caused by heavy rains, and it was God's will......"

The words have been said here, Shen Shu hesitated for a moment, and decided to ask, after all, Sister Hui knows the accurate news, if she can know it from her mouth, it is better than her nonsensical search, because of the limitations of science and technology, even if the ancient map is in the hands of the government, it is really sloppy, and it is not of much use with regional chronicles.

"What does Sister Hui know?" Shen Shu asked, and before she could return, she answered, "When I was a child, I read a story that said that the Bodhisattva is compassionate and loves the world, but whenever there is a catastrophe, he will always send a warning, just to see if anyone can guess. "This can be regarded as a good excuse for Sister Hui to cover up her rebirth.

Sister Hui really didn't expect Shen Shu to ask like this, listening to her first half of the sentence, her heart was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out, and after listening to the latter words, she was relieved, hesitated slightly, and nodded, "I ...... a few days ago." I had a dream in which I saw heavy rain for more than half a month, and the water rose and flooded most of Liuzhou......"

She was willing to say it, Shen Shu was also relieved, and then tentatively asked some information from her mouth, because Sister Hui had only heard about it, and the news was not accurate enough, but it also provided Shen Shu with a lot of clues and saved her a lot of trouble.

After leaving from Sister Hui'er's place, Shen Shu went directly to Xie Changning's study, and found out the regional chronicles, combined with the general river distribution map recorded before, and studied it until Xie Changning came back in the evening.

She seemed to have made a great determination, and looked at him with a somewhat determined look, "I want to ask you, if there is a chance to prevent a catastrophe from happening, would you like to give it a try?"
