Chapter 044: Daddy's Backhand
Shen Shu wanted to "see" that picture clearly-
But she found that there was something blocking her, so she couldn't see anything clearly.
She couldn't help but ask directly: "A-Niang, those people poisoned my brother one after another, what is the real reason, can't you even tell your daughter?" β
Mrs. Jiang stretched out her hand, pulled her slightly messy hair behind her ears, and looked at her gaze, gentle as water: "Auntie, there are some things that you don't know better than know...... You just need to remember that you and the bouldering are the hearts and minds of me and your father, and no matter what happens, your father and I will protect you. As long as tomorrow, bouldering and ...... You do what I say, A-Niang promises, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. β
It won't happen again......
Shen Shu knew Mrs. Jiang's plan.
No matter what the secret that A-Niang tried her best to hide, she didn't think that just by cooperating with her brother and acting an excerpt in front of everyone, she could solve the matter of her brother being poisoned once and for all.
However, Shen Shu understands again-
My father and mother have always been eager to protect her and the third brother under their wings, even if there are any arrangements behind their backs, they will not tell her and Pan.
Right now, since she can't know all of her father's plans, she can only see the moves.
Left and right, tomorrow's seven-day period, for Shen Shu, there is no major event involving "life and death".
Far less important than the death date of the fourth aunt three days later.
Shen Shu moved her lips, wanting to say something-
But after all, he didn't say anything.
He just nodded obediently.
*
The second day, Mrs. Shen's seven-day period.
From early morning, the sky was gray, and the air was filled with a layer of fog, which was overcast and cold.
After noon, the fog did not disperse, but became thicker.
As soon as Shen Shu had lunch, she saw Green Peach hurriedly walk in from outside.
"Girl! Mingyuezhai seems to have had an accident, and several lords and wives rushed over just now. β
Shen Shu stood up suddenly: "Let's go, go and see." β
As she spoke, she put on her shoes and hurried out.
Mingyuezhai is in the bamboo forest, and the fog is much thicker than outside.
Shen Shu trotted all the way, panting and running into the courtyard, and saw the servants in all the rooms except Songduzhai, waiting under the steps with their heads down, silent.
Shen Shu's face tightened, and she hurriedly rushed into the upper room.
There was an oil lamp in the room, and Daddy, Auntie, two uncles, two aunts and Uncle Zhao were all sitting in the hall, all looking at her with solemn expressions on their faces.
Shen Shuming knew that the third brother's poison had been cured, and his condition was fake.
But when she saw this battle, her heart was still tight.
She hurriedly greeted the elders, walked quickly to Mrs. Jiang, and asked in a trembling voice, "A-Niang, where is the third brother and third brother?" What happened to him? β
Mrs. Jiang took her hand and said softly: "Your third brother's eyes suddenly couldn't see anything this morning, and he is being treated inside at this time." β
Even though she said this, Mrs. Jiang's expression still couldn't hide her anxiety.
When Shen Shu heard this, she tightened her handkerchief, stood beside Mrs. Jiang, and looked at the bedroom from time to time.
Because Mrs. Jiang was worried about her son, she sat on the couch closest to the door of the bedroom.
Shen Shu stood beside her, easily taking in the expressions of the people opposite.
The eldest aunt Zhao has always been the most courageous, and at this moment she is sitting not far from her mother, with a sallow and thin face, dry lips, silently reading scriptures, trembling and rolling Buddha beads in her hands, looking at the bedroom from time to time, and her eyebrows and eyes are full of worry.
The third aunt Wang stood by the window, wearing a crow-blue cardigan, her fingers unconsciously pulling the plain brocade handkerchief, pursing her lips and looking at the Buddha beads in the eldest lady's hand, I don't know what she was thinking.
The fourth aunt An sat alone at the bottom of the two rows of folding chairs in the middle, her brows furrowed.
The original three incense ash marks on her eyebrows have become two, and her eyes are a little anxious, and she looks at the fourth uncle Shen Huai opposite from time to time.
And Shen Huai, who always half-lowered his eyes, his thin face was full of wind and frost, as if he had just come back from the barracks, although he was not wearing a military uniform, he was wearing a strong suit, and there were some mud stains on the corners of his clothes.
Next to him, sat the third uncle Shen Yuan, who took care of the housework every day, Shen Yuan compared to Shen Chong and Shen Huai, his temperament was more gentle and mellow.
He is the only one, as if he is fine, holding a tea cup, sipping tea from time to time, and gently comforting his father: "Maybe it is because the residual poison has not been cleared last time, bouldering is a person who practices martial arts, and his body has always been tough. β
The beard on Shen Chong's face just covered his look.
He sighed and said, "I also think it's okay, your second sister-in-law asked me to invite the doctor, no, it even alarmed you, it's really a big fuss." β
Although Shen Chong deliberately lowered his voice, the room was too quiet, and his words were clearly heard by everyone present.
For a while, everyone's faces were different.
"Doctor?!" Shen Yuan asked in surprise: "You said that the one who is treating bouldering in here is the doctor who never leaves the valley in the deep valley of Yunjiang?!" β
Shen Chong nodded and made a silent gesture.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan hurriedly put the teacup on the table, stood up as if he couldn't suppress his excitement, and kept looking into the curtain.
Not only him, but even Shen Shu, when he heard this, he couldn't hide his astonishment.
Daddy and Auntie really have a back hand.
This doctor, but A-Niang never mentioned it to their brothers and sisters that day.
Shen Shu had heard of this doctor for a long time.
He has no name, no surname, and no origin, and more than 20 years ago, he became famous.
It is said that he lives in the inaccessible valley of Yunjiang, and is proficient in the toxicology of Yunjiang poisonous weeds.
The doctor has this life-saving ability, and he should have been treated as a guest of honor by dignitaries and dignitaries in Yunjiang.
However, he was not only mute, but also had a strange temper, and he did not like to come into contact with people, and rarely came to the rescue.
Gradually, his name was gradually forgotten, and more than ten years have passed, and now few people have heard of his deeds again.
Shen Shu knew about him, and he had also heard about it from the third brother by accident-
In his early years, when his grandfather was alive, he saved the life of the doctor.
Therefore, the Shen family is the only living person in the entire Yunjiang who has contact with the doctor.
It's just that this is the old yellow calendar more than 20 years ago, and Shen Shu didn't expect that this doctor had not passed away yet.
Just as she was thinkingβ
The brocade curtain in the bedroom was lifted from the inside, and an old man with a rickety figure, a wrinkled face, and a coarse cotton coat, walked out of it tremblingly on crutches.
Shen Shu was slightly stunned when she saw the old man's face.
This man...... It's almost the same as the human skin mask that Daddy wore that night!
Shen Shu sniffed silently.
There is not the slightest smell of poisonous weeds or herbs on this "doctor".
She was almost certain that this man must be an imposter wearing a human skin mask!
At this juncture today, Daddy suddenly found such a person to pretend to be a "doctor", what did he want to do?
