Chapter 2 The Coming Back

It was the end of spring, and the bright sunlight shone in through the window screen of the water and sky, Shen Tong leaned on the pillow, sitting in the light and shadow, his petite body shrouded in a haze.

"Sister, the slave maid has pine nut candy here, you drink the decoction, and the slave maid will give you candy to eat."

Rong Niang's gentle voice sounded in her ears, Shen Tong turned her head to look at her and smiled at her, but she didn't touch the bowl of soup medicine in front of her.

The smile on Rong Niang's face was a little thicker, it may be that the child is not suitable for the change of environment, Shen Tong came here and became ill, the high fever did not go away, and he slept in a daze for a few days, and he didn't wake up until this morning.

But Rong Niang felt that Shen Tong seemed to be different from before.

As for what is different, Rong Niang can't tell.

Speaking of which, she and Shen Tong are not familiar with each other, when she got married, Shen Tong was only six years old, and two years have passed, children are like flower seedlings planted in the ground, one day at a time, and it is not surprising that the temper and personality of eight-year-old children have changed.

"Rong Niang, you put the medicine down, and I'll drink it later." Shen Tong still didn't touch the bowl of medicine, and held the rag doll in his arms tightly with a pair of small hands.

The doll was brought from home.

This morning, Shen Tong woke up, and the first thing he saw was this rag doll.

This was sewn by her mother herself, and she liked it so much that she put it next to her pillow when she slept.

It's a pity that for many years, she has forgotten about this rag doll.

She forgot not only the rag doll, but so many things, she didn't remember anything...... It wasn't until the moment before she fell off the cliff that she remembered her mother, Rong Niang, and the little girl.

At that time she thought she would be crushed, but she did not die; But she remembered her mother's appearance, and three years later, when she saw the crazy woman who rushed over to fight with the crown princess, she recognized it at a glance as her mother, and she rushed forward desperately, blocking her mother with her broken body, and the moment ten thousand arrows pierced her heart, she heard her mother call her "Tongtong!" ”

When she opened her eyes again, she was back when she was a child.

She was eight years old.

It's just a pity that she still couldn't see her mother, and when she woke up, she had already left the house and was taken to her cousin's house by Rong Niang.

Rong Niang is her mother's dowry maid, and she made a concubine for her cousin two years ago. After Shen Tong woke up, he hadn't seen his cousin yet, and he heard the little maid Fangfei say that his cousin was not at home, and the other masters were not there.

Shen Tong's memory began at the age of eight, when she was eight years old, she was taken into the camp of the dead, before that, it was said that she followed the human teeth, but unfortunately she didn't remember. Only now did Shen Tong know that when she was eight years old, she had lived in her cousin's house, what happened in the middle, and how could she fall into the hands of people?

The children in the hands of human teeth are either bought or abducted.

Although my cousin's family is not rich and noble, but it also makes slaves call maids, it stands to reason that it is not easy for people to kidnap her, is she being sold?

Shen Tong looked at Rong Niang suspiciously, and asked, "Rong Niang, where is my mother?" When will I be able to go home? ”

Although he asked like this, Shen Tong also guessed that there must be an accident at home, so her mother asked Rong Niang to take her away quietly, and the little girl Rong Niang brought was to impersonate her eight or nine times out of ten.

The little girl...... After falling off the cliff and being rescued by the lantern extinguishing master, Shen Tong remembered who she was.

Rong Niang smiled reluctantly, and she said softly, "Sister, have you forgotten?" Didn't the wife tell her that she was sick, and she was worried that she was too sick, so she asked her sister to follow the slave and maid to live at home for a few days, and when the wife was well, the slave and maid sent her sister back. ”

It turned out that her mother used these words to coax her to leave the house, Shen Tong's heart was slightly sour, her mother must have loved her very much, and she didn't want her to be afraid, so she asked Rong Niang to take her away under the pretext that she was sick.

But she is no longer the ignorant child, she doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, she must know what happened back then.

"What about my father? My mother is sick, and my father doesn't come home to visit her? Shen Tong does not have the shadow of his father in his memory.

The smile on Rong Niang's face froze, and she was stunned before she said, "Sister, what's wrong?" The lord has passed away a long time ago, and the wife has always been a widow, and my sister doesn't remember? ”

Father has passed away a long time ago, Shen Tong remembered the scene before he died in his previous life, there seemed to be something connected, Shen Tong subconsciously touched his head, wanting to think more.

"Sister, do you have a headache? Drink this bowl of medicine, your illness is not yet cured. Rong Niang picked up the bowl of medicine again, obviously wanting to feed it to Shen Tong.

Shen Tong stretched out his hand and waved, it was hitting Rong Niang's hand, the child's hand was not heavy, but Rong Niang was defenseless, and hit him coldly, caught off guard, most of the decoction in his hand spilled out, and some of it spilled on Shen Tong's clothes, Rong Niang was so frightened that she lost her face, and hurriedly came to see if Shen Tong was burned.

Shen Tong stood up, shook the little jacket and skirt on his body, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not hot." ”

In fact, the bowl of medicine has long been not hot, Rong Niang used to be a big girl next to her mother, and she was calm, of course she would not bring hot medicine to her to drink.

Seeing that she was fine, Rong Niang breathed a sigh of relief and asked the little maid Fangfei to bring her clothes over and change them for Shen Tong.

Fang Fei is only eight years old, and the other Chun Que is only nine years old, except for these two little maids, Shen Tong has not seen any other people since he woke up.

It stands to reason that she is only eight years old and sick, so Rong Niang should send an elderly and sensible maid to serve her, and it should not be two little girls who are also eight or nine years old anyway.

Moreover, these two little girls just entered the mansion last month, Shen Tong tested them, they just knew that Shen Tong was the cousin in the mansion, the master, the wife and the two young masters were not at home, and now the owner of the house is Rong Niang. Other than that, they just don't know anything.

Fang Fei helped Rong Niang change Shen Tong into clean clothes, Chun Que came over to wipe the spilled medicinal juice, and was about to take out the medicine bowl, Rong Niang stopped her: "Wait, put the medicine bowl down, it's none of your business here, you and Fang Fei go and wash the clothes for Miss Cousin." ”

Chunque put down the medicine bowl, took the clothes that Shen Tong had changed, and withdrew with Fang Fei.

Seeing that they were gone, Rong Niang said to Shen Tong pleasantly: "Your illness is not completely cured, sleep for a while, most of this decoction is spilled, and the slave maid will go to boil a bowl again." ”

"Tell the maid to boil the medicine, you can talk to me for a while." Shen Tong raised his little face, and a pair of black and white eyes looked directly at Rong Niang.

A chill came out of her back, Rong Niang subconsciously avoided Shen Tong's gaze, and pretended to look at the pot of begonias on the windowsill, but soon, she retracted her gaze and met Shen Tong's eyes.

She must have been in a trance just now, and it was just an eight-year-old girl in front of her, innocent, and her eyes were so clear that there was not a trace of dust.

"Sister's illness is not yet well, this decoction can not be sloppy, the slave maid is not worried about those maids, it is better to boil it with your own hands."

"Okay, then you go, I'm sleepy too." Shen Tong said, covering his mouth with his hand and yawning, listless.

Children are children, and they were still talking just now, and now they are sleepy.

Rong Niang took the pillow, took the pillow for Shen Tong, and carefully covered her with a brocade quilt.

Children who have just recovered from a serious illness have not yet recovered physically and mentally. Shen Tong closed her eyes, and soon let out an even breathing sound, her long eyelashes hooked two shallow shadows under her eyelids, Rong Niang stood by the bed, stared at her for a long time, tucked her quilt corners, put down the tent, and tiptoed out.

The curtain with 10,000 characters was raised and lowered, the carved wooden door closed silently, and Shen Tong in the tent suddenly opened his eyes.

There's something wrong with that bowl of decoction!

The dead not only kill, but also understand pharmacology, after all, it is not only the sword that is used to kill, but also poison (prevention).

Just now Rong Niang brought the medicine bowl to her, and she smelled wrong. That bowl of medicine is a cool and heat-dissipating recipe, although it is not symptomatic, but it is okay to take it, but there should be no smell of alcohol in this medicine.

It may be that I am worried that the child will not drink it when it smells alcohol, so I don't add much wine, and if I change to a real child, I am afraid that I will drink it with pine nut candy.

It's a pity that Shen Tong knows that there shouldn't be wine in this medicine...... Unless you add cold food powder!
