Chapter XXIII: Psychotherapy
Like an arrow, Shen Chongming, who was carrying more than a dozen guards, did not rest much along the way, and finally saw the towering city walls of the capital on the evening of the fourth day.
I didn't have time to go back to the small courtyard, so I took my subordinates straight to the Four Seas Martial Arts Hall. Looking at the white banner hanging in front of the door, taking a deep breath, Shen Chongming turned over and dismounted and ran in.
The former noisy front yard is deserted. There was such a big thing, since the funeral of Zheng Sihai and his wife seven days ago, the disciples who originally practiced martial arts here have gone back to their respective homes, leaving only the little junior sister and Xiong Dabiao and a few servants to stay here.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiong Dabiao, who had a black gauze wrapped around his arm, pushed the door and walked out, his face was very stiff, but when he saw that the person was Shen Chongming, there was finally a bright color in his eyes, "Brother Shen, when did you come back?" ”
"Just arrived." Looking at Xiong Dabiao, who had lost almost a circle, Shen Chongming felt uncomfortable in his heart, "Senior Brother Xiong, people can't be resurrected after death, let's mourn." ”
With a bitter smile, Xiong Dabiao said while taking Shen Chongming to the backyard: "It's great that you're back, senior sister, she has been in bed these days, if it weren't for Miss Yan taking care of her day and night, I don't know what to do, you go and see him." ”
It's not much different from what she thinks, although the little junior sister is lively and cheerful on weekdays, but this kind of person is actually the most vulnerable, such a big blow, it's not easy to get her through. Thinking about it, the wind was under his feet, and his pace unconsciously increased.
Pushing open the door, it was Yan Yumeng who had been waiting by the little junior sister's side. When he looked back and saw that it was Shen Chongming who was following Xiong Dabiao, he couldn't help but look happy, and hurriedly got up and said, "Childe, you're back." ”
"Yumeng, hard work." Shen Chongming smiled, didn't stop, and walked straight to the bed. The little junior sister was lying on the bed with a sluggish expression, her cheeks were thin, and her black eye sockets were accompanied by two red and swollen eyes, but she was very haggard.
Distressed for a while, Shen Chongming sat on the wooden stool in front of the bed and grabbed the little junior sister's little hand, "Little junior sister, little Shenzi is back." ”
Seeing this, Xiong Dabiao shook his head and turned around and walked out, Yan Yumeng turned his head and whispered in Shen Chongming's ear: "Childe, Sister Su'er is just drinking a little porridge every day these days, you can find a way to coax her to eat something first, otherwise if it goes on like this, the whole person will have to collapse." ”
Turning his head to look at the bowl full of porridge on the table, Shen Chongming's mouth couldn't help but feel bitter, how can this be done. "Don't worry, you must be tired too, I will take care of you here, you can find a place to rest first."
As far as the little junior sister is like now, there are no people around her at all, and she doesn't need to ask Shen Chongming to know that Yan Yumeng and Xiaoqing are taking care of them during this time, day and night, and the two of them are afraid that they are also tired.
"Well, then Yumeng went out first." Yan Yumeng smiled slightly, glanced at the little junior sister again, and the smile on her face was immediately covered by sadness, how can this be good.
Hearing the door close, Shen Chongming couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Little junior sister, it's all my fault, if I was in the capital at the time, this incident wouldn't have happened." ”
I said a lot of long-winded words, but I still didn't see the slightest reaction from the little junior sister, Shen Chongming couldn't help scratching his head, this method didn't work, what should I do.
"Little junior sister, people can't be resurrected after death, you look like this, your uncle and aunt know everything, how can you let go of your heart." With a roll of his eyes, Shen Chongming decided to fight poison with poison and criticize her well, as long as she can make some movements, this disease will be considered half better, and the remaining half will be slowly recuperated in the future.
"Think about it, when my uncle was willing to give up his own life in order to save your life, what did he do to let you live? Look at the way you look now, can you be worthy of his hard work? ”
This was said seriously enough, and Shen Chongming, who had been paying attention to the eyes of the little junior sister, suddenly found that her pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, but he could be regarded as a little reaction.
"Think about it, if you just follow your uncle and aunt like this, who else can sweep their graves on the Qingming Festival? Are you willing to watch the grave of the second elder grow overgrown with weeds and become an ownerless desolate grave? "Well, my fingers moved a little.
"Uncle and aunt were killed by thieves, are you willing to watch the enemy still be at ease? It's too unfilial to do this, the little junior sister I know Shen Chongming will definitely practice martial arts diligently, and she is bent on avenging the second elder, that's what a child should do. Of course, Senior Brother Xiong can also do this matter, but he is not the child of the second elder after all, such a big feud must be avenged by your own hands in order to make the second elder blind under Jiuquan! "The action is a bit big, and the palm of my hand hurts when I scratch it!
Strike while the iron is hot and keep up the good work. "But look at the way you look now, you have no intention of avenging the second elder in your heart, are you worthy of their kindness to you?" As soon as the words fell, a small fist smashed into Shen Chongming's chest, the strength was unexpected, Shen Chongming exclaimed, and fell straight backwards without being caught off guard!
"You bastard, when did I, Zheng Yingxu, say that I would not avenge my father and mother!" The little junior sister sat up and shouted angrily, so angry that she even crawled out of bed, raised her little feet and kicked towards Shen Chongming, who had not had time to get up.
Overdone! Although Shen Chongming was happy to see her like this, the pain of being kicked on his body by the little junior sister still made him grit his teeth and crack his mouth, and he curled his body and wanted to defend himself.
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked open, and Xiong Dabiao, who was full of surprise, rushed in, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw the situation in front of him.
"Senior sister, stop it." After a pause, Xiong Dabiao hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and finally grabbed the arms of the little junior sister, and looked at the embarrassed Shen Chongming with surprise in surprise.
"Hmph, shoot you!" After saying a word angrily, the little junior sister shook off Xiong Dabiao and turned around to sit at the table and took a big bite of the porridge bowl, which was not an exaggeration to describe as gobbling up.
At this time, Yan Yumeng heard the sound and ran in with Xiaoqing, and when he saw the gray-faced Shen Chongming sitting on the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Childe, are you okay?" ”
With a dry laugh, Shen Chongming stood up with a frown, and those few kicks were really painful. "It's fine."
"Sister Yumeng, my sister is still hungry." A bowl of porridge was seen in a few moments, and the little junior sister raised her hand to wipe her mouth as usual and stretched the bowl out.
"Hey, you wait, sister, I'll go to the kitchen and serve it for you." Yan Yumeng responded happily, let go of Shen Chongming, turned around and hurriedly walked out.
"Little junior sister, your body is just a little better, just a moderate amount, don't eat too much." Looking at the little junior sister's current posture, Shen Chongming couldn't help but worry, was what he just said really a little excessive?
"Hmph, I want you to take care of it!" The little junior sister glared at him fiercely, then flicked her unkempt hair, and turned her head to the side to stop taking care of it.
"Hehe, it's okay, since my sister is hungry, let her eat more." Xiong Dabiao stood aside and smirked. In the past few days, he has worked hard, not only to handle the funeral of the master and his wife, but also to worry about the little sister from time to time, for fear that something will happen to her, in that case, teach himself how to explain to the master and the master.
It's good now, not long after Brother Shen entered the door, he opened his appetite for the persuasion of his junior sister who hadn't said a word for so many days, and he was alive and well, which can be regarded as letting go of his heart that had been hanging for many days.
Shen Chongming was angry for a while, this person often boasted that he had rich experience in the rivers and lakes, couldn't people who were hungry overeat?
But after a beating just now, Shen Chongming really didn't dare to persuade the little junior sister anymore. Let her be, and persuade her when the time is almost right.
After a while, another small bowl of porridge plus two snow-white steamed buns and a few other side dishes came in, looking at Yan Yumeng and putting it directly in front of the little junior sister, Shen Chongming was speechless for a while, it turned out that Yumeng didn't understand this reason.
The little sister didn't speak, picked up the chopsticks and ate them. Shen Chongming waved his hand and motioned for a few people to go out, no need to guess, the next little junior sister must be crying, the fewer people at this time, the better.
Although he didn't understand what he meant, Xiong Dabiao nodded, and walked out lightly with Yan Yumeng and Xiaoqing, and closed the door with his hands, leaving only Shen Chongming and the little junior sister.
With a sigh of relief, Shen Chongming pretended to be brave and walked to the side of the little junior sister and sat up, "Little junior sister, I just came back from Henan, and I haven't eaten for a day, can you give me one of the steamed buns?" ”
The little junior sister glanced at him angrily, picked up one and put it directly to Shen Chongming's mouth. "Hehe, it's still the little junior sister who knows that she feels sorry for me." As soon as he took it, Shen Chongming smiled flatteringly.
The little junior sister didn't speak, she lowered her head and ate it fiercely, and half of a fist-sized steamed bun was wiped out by her in a few clicks, and the dishes on the table didn't move.
Putting down the steamed bun in his hand, Shen Chongming reached out and hugged the little junior sister, "Little junior sister, cry when you feel sad, and you will feel good if you cry happily." ”
"Don't cry!" The little junior sister said sonorously and forcefully, turning her head not to look at Shen Chongming. "It's okay, just cry if you want to, Xiao Shenzi won't laugh at you."
"Don't cry!" The little sister is still stiff-mouthed, but her voice has become much quieter. "Cry." Shen Chongming tightened his arms.
"If you don't cry, you won't cry." The voice was already a little choked, and Shen Chongming didn't speak again, just hugged her quietly.
Finally, the little sister sobbed slowly, out of control, and within a few moments it became a howl. "Little Shenzi, people don't have a father and mother."
"Well, I know. I will take good care of you in the future, and I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance. Shen Chongming said softly, this sentence was once said to Zhao Ziqian, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, and he couldn't break his promise this time no matter what.
"Little Shenzi, you can't leave me in the future." The little junior sister turned sideways and hugged Shen Chongming tightly, this is what she will rely on in the future, and she can't let go no matter what.
"If you don't leave, you must not leave, even if Xiao Shenzi passes away one day, you have to wait for the little junior sister, we will be together in life and death." Tender and sweet, this kind of occasion is not contrived, and it will not make people feel numb.
