Chapter 8: Collapse it all
Shu Yao was woken up by the voice of Xi Xi Suosuo, although her body was back to six years old, but the problem of being frightened and tired in her previous life and being easy to wake up caused by light sleep and fatigue did not seem to have changed.
The candle was extinguished, but the sky was already dark, and the sound came from the book on the small bed opposite, and he leaned on the bed with his eyes half-closed, but his little hands were groping on the small cabinet beside the bed, and his mouth muttered, "Water, where is the water?" ”
Shuwen is particularly thirsty, especially in the early hours of the morning, he will always wake up thirsty, and he has to sit up and drink some water before continuing to sleep. My mother or eldest brother will remember to put a glass of water on the small cabinet at the head of his bed every night before going to bed, yesterday was a mess, and the eldest brother forgot about it.
Shu Yao got up and walked to the table, only then did he remember that the teapot and pastries were in the mahogany box, so he quickly took them out and put them on the table, poured a glass of water and fed Shuwen.
Shuwen drank water, threw himself down and continued to sleep, his red little mouth squirmed twice, and he looked very satisfied, very cute.
Shu Yao's heart was soft, and she looked at Shuwen with a smile, in this life, she would definitely not let Shuwen have an accident again.
The door opened with a slight "squeak", it was Shujie who came in, saw the cup in Shu Yao's hand, and said apologetically: "I forgot to prepare water for Wen'er last night, and I just remembered it." Yao'er hurry up and go to bed and sleep for a while, and the eldest brother will call you later. ”
Shu Yao came over and took Shu Jie's hand: "I don't want to sleep, big brother come, you can also drink some water and eat two snacks." ”
Shujie shook his head: "Big brother won't eat it, I have asked Cuizhu to make breakfast, and I will eat porridge and steamed buns with everyone for a while, and the dim sum will be kept for you and Wen'er to eat when they are hungry today." Today is busy, and he is worried that he will not be able to take care of his younger siblings when the time comes.
"Don't, I want my eldest brother to eat, if my eldest brother doesn't eat it, I won't let Wen'er eat it, and I won't eat it." Shu Yao pouted and shook Shu Jie's arm, and her eyes were red.
Shujie hurriedly coaxed: "Big brother eat, big brother eats, Yao'er is good, Yao'er doesn't cry." "Shujie loves this pair of twin siblings very much, but Shu Yao has always been less affectionate than Shuwen to Shujie, yesterday from Wu Ji Pharmacy, Shu Jie found that Shu Yao began to rely on himself very much, which made him happy and sad, sad that the young sister should have lost her father and mother in a short period of time, and then quickly became sensible. If he could, he would rather she still be that carefree wayward lady.
Shu Yao happily poured a glass of water for Shu Jie, took out a piece of red bean cake, peeled off the oil paper on the outside, and fed it to Shu Jie's mouth.
Shujie just took a sip of water and was stunned: "Why does this water seem to be a little sweet today?" It was especially delicious. ”
Shu Yao secretly thought that it should be the reason for the increase in spirit, and responded glutinously: "Because Yao'er poured it for the eldest brother to drink." ”
Shujie smiled and touched Shu Yao's little head: "Yes, how can the water poured by Yao'er not be sweet?" I didn't think much about it at the moment, and ate two pastries under Shu Yao's soft grinding and hard bubbles. Today's pastries are also very delicious, it seems that I have been watching all night, and I am really hungry.
"Big brother, where are you and Wen'er's treasure chests? And your valuable and important things, Yao'er has to hide. Shu Yao suddenly whispered in Shu Jie's ear.
Shujie was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the performance of the third uncle and Zhen Dafu and his wife yesterday, which scared his sister. Distressedly, he hugged Shu Yao to his lap and sat down: "Yao'er, don't be afraid, there is a big brother here." ”
Shu Yao shook her head: "Yao'er is not afraid, but my mother said that my uncle and aunt and Cuizhu want to steal our family's things, Yao'er wants to hide it, big brother, what do you say." ”
Sure enough, it was the mother who found that there was something wrong with Cuizhu, no wonder they rushed to see the cellar as soon as the fire was extinguished yesterday, Shujie knew that Lu Dao's father had brought back two big boxes, but he didn't know what was in Lu Dao.
Before going out yesterday, my mother seemed to want to say something to him, and kept pulling his sleeve, but was interrupted by Cuizhu, and then my mother fell into a coma again, so he quickly ran out of Lu to find Wu Langzhong.
After a string, Shujie figured out some things, no wonder the eldest uncle and the third uncle would also come to the door yesterday, and the people from the Xia Mansion had never come to their house.
"My mother also said that my uncle and aunt and Cuizhu were going to sell Yao'er and Wen'er to others, and my mother asked you to sell Cuizhu, and Cuizhu's body deed Yao'er was hidden, and they couldn't find it." Shu Yao's little hand held Shu Jie tightly, and she seemed to be very scared.
Shujie was furious, and he wanted to rush out of the city immediately to drive Zhen Dafu and the others away, but the "trembling" of the young sister in his arms made him immediately turn his mind back and hug Shu Yao tightly: "Yao'er, don't be afraid, eldest brother won't let anyone hurt you and Wen'er a hair." ”
Shu Yao nodded: "Well, big brother, tell me quickly, where is the thing." "There is already a loud noise outside, it should be Zhen Dafu and those people are up.
Although Shujie wondered where Shu Yao could hide things, he still pointed to the desk: "It's all in the drawer, the first drawer is mine, and the second drawer is Shuwen." As he spoke, he took out the key and gave it to Shu Yao.
"Big brother, you go out and have a look, lest those people make trouble in our house again." Shu Yao urged.
"Okay, the big brother is out of the city, wait and bring the clothes in and help you put them on" Shujie put down Shu Yao, stood up and went out, and after a while, the neighbors should also come.
Shu Yao walked over and plugged in the door, took out his key from the purse under Shuwen's pillow, and immediately opened the two drawers and put everything inside into the mahogany box. He looked around the room again, and took the things of some value, including a fox fur robe and a wolf skin robe from the eldest brother, which was given by Aunt Lan, the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan. Shu Yao knew how greedy the Lin family was, in his previous life, these two valuable clothes appeared on his cousins Zhen Kebao and Zhen Keying.
After doing all this, Shu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, sat at the table and drank a glass of water and ate a piece of dim msum, really eh, it was very delicious, and the water was a little sweet.
There was still about a cup of water left in the teapot, and Shu Yao poured it into Shuwen's cup. Only then did Shuwen wake him up, let him eat two pieces of snacks, and drink a glass of water. When I turned around, I collected the rest of the snacks.
Shuwen smacked his lips: "Sister, I still want red bean cake." "Why is this snack so delicious today?
Shu Yao shook her head: "No, I'll drink some porridge after I go out to wash up later, and keep the dim sum for when I'm hungry in the afternoon." ”
Shuwen has always been well-behaved and doesn't insist, but it's a little strange: "Sister, I haven't washed yet, why do you want me to hide in the house and eat snacks secretly?" ”
Shu Yao pointed outside and whispered, "There are so many people today, there are not enough dim sum, you can't let everyone watch you eat, right?" You can't tell people you're eating snacks when you go out. ”
"Oh," Shuwen didn't ask much, with the help of Shu Yao, he wore filial piety clothes, and on weekdays, the eldest brother mostly helped him get dressed, but now that his father and mother are gone, the eldest brother is very hard, and the sensible Shuwen didn't say a word, and the two of them clumsily put on filial piety clothes with yesterday's memory.
Shu Yao opened the door: "You go out to find the eldest brother and bring in my filial piety clothes." By the way, Wen'er, you have to remember to stay away from your uncle and aunt. ”
Shuwen nodded, he really hated the pair of uncles and aunts he saw for the first time.
The filial piety clothes were brought in by Aunt Li, and she helped Shu Yao put them on, and then took Shu Yao out of the house to wash.
While everyone was eating breakfast, Shu Yao saw Zhen Dafu and Lin, who had already eaten earlier, sneak into her and Shujie's brother's house, and sneered secretly.
