Chapter 2: Brother
Rolling all over the ground for collections, asking for recommendation tickets! )
The next evening, Su Mu sat in front of the bed, looked at the face in the bronze mirror held by the maid, and bowed slightly.
In her previous life, she was too beautiful, and she was a luminous body everywhere she went, which was extremely disadvantageous for a killer who needed to hide her whereabouts at any time. For this reason, she must not spend more time and energy than others to learn how to make up and disguise herself to become ordinary and ordinary.
And now, what appears in front of me in the bronze mirror is a delicate face: thin and slender eyebrows, bloodless lips, a small face the size of a palm, and the skin is unhealthy white, not only pale, but also thin enough to faintly see the blood vessels under the skin. The only thing that can add a little luster to this face is the pair of dark and clear eyes, clear and clean like a lake.
She was extremely satisfied.
It's not beautiful, it's not ugly. Very ordinary, good!
In the future, she will be called Xia Jin. In the past, such as yesterday's death; From the latter, such as today, to be born. Since she was reborn with her soul thanks to the blessing of heaven, she should change her name and start over.
"Alright, let's put it down." She commanded, leaning back.
This body is not in good health, but yesterday it vomited and vented, which hurt its vitality. It took a day of drinking the decoction today before she could get up slightly. It seems that it will take two days to get out of bed.
"Artemisia Qing, how is the matter with what I asked you to inquire about?" She asked.
Luckily, she accepted all the memories of this body so that her eyes would not be blackened. From her memory, she knew that although this body was weak and sickly, it was not so weak that she vomited and leaked after drinking a bowl of chicken soup, and the fragrance disappeared. Now that she has died for no reason, in her opinion, who was a killer, there must be a conspiracy in this. Although the Xia family only has three brothers, the old lady is still alive and has never been separated, and this little girl named Xia Jin has no money, and there is no possibility of murder. But it is not ruled out that Xia Jin saw something dirty that should not be seen, and the possibility of being killed and killed.
"Yesterday, the old man and his wife sent someone to investigate." Artemisia annua is originally a lively personality and loves to talk, but when she mentioned this matter, she didn't dare to say more, "Listening to Sister Bai Zhi, I found out that the fifth young master was playing with the sixth young master, and he put a little croton in the soup he drank......"
Xia Jin stared at Artemisia annua, and saw that although her face was full of uneasiness, her eyes did not wander, so she knew that she was telling the truth, and waved her hand: "Okay, you guys go out, I'll rest for a while." With that, he went to the bed and lay down.
Artemisia and Qingdai hurriedly covered her with things and went out lightly.
As soon as she arrived outside the house, Qingdai taught Qinghao a lesson: "Just talk to you!" You just said that you didn't hear about it, so why tell the girl? If you let your wife know that you have disturbed the girl's recuperation by telling the matter, you will have to skin you! ”
Qing Hao was stunned for a moment, reacted, quickly stuck out her tongue, pulled Qing Dai's arm and shook it, and said with a shy smile: "Good sister, didn't I expect it?" You don't remind me either. ”
"Can I remind you?" Qing Dai was angry and funny, and slapped her hand off her arm, "Okay, let's do something quickly." I'm going to decoct the girl. With that, he walked to the small kitchen next to him.
"Huh?" Qinghao turned around and saw Xia Qi coming in from the courtyard gate, hurriedly greeted him out, and opened the curtains, "Sixth Young Master, are you here?" ”
"Hmm." Xia Qi replied and glanced at the room, "Is my sister awake?" ”
"This ......" Artemisia hesitated, and was about to say, "I just drank the medicine and fell asleep", but I heard Xia Jin's voice in the room, "Brother, I'm awake, come in." ”
Hearing his sister's crisp voice, Xia Qi was overjoyed and lowered his head and entered the house. When he entered the room, he raised his eyes and saw Xia Jin sitting on the bed, his head and shoulders resting on the pillow, his black hair scattered beside him, and his quiet black eyes looking at him quietly. It's just nested in the quilt and the figure is thin and thin, like a child who hasn't grown up, which makes people feel particularly distressed.
"Sister." He walked over and asked with concern, "Are you better?" I came to see you last night, and you were asleep, so you didn't come in. ”
Xia Qi, the original brother of the dragon and phoenix. Xia Jin was an only daughter in her previous life and had no brothers and sisters, which made her have a very strange and fresh feeling for Xia Qi.
She raised her eyes and looked at Xia Qi covertly.
She knows that dragon and phoenix fetuses are fraternal, and when they were conceived in the mother's body, their development had independent fetal membranes, placenta and umbilical cord, so they did not look exactly the same like identical twins.
But looking at Xia Qi's appearance at this time, the boy was not yet developed thin and small, with pale skin, sparse facial features, and eyes that were as black as ink and clear as water, but they were eight or nine points similar to the appearance she saw in the mirror.
Xia Jin learned the appearance of the original owner in his memory, smiled at him, and said in a weak voice: "I'm much better, thank you brother for your concern." As he spoke, he looked at the schoolbag under his armpit, "Brother, is this going to school?" ”
Xia Qi said "um", turned his face to Artemisia and said, "Go, pour me a cup of tea, I'm dying of thirst." ”
"Yes, young master." Artemisia turned around and went out to pour tea.
As soon as Artemisia Annua left, the Xia Qi brothers and sisters were left in the house.
Xia Qi looked left and right, quickly took down the schoolbag from under his armpit, took out a book inside, and stuffed it into Xia Jin's hand: "Quick, hurry up and put it away." ”
Xia Jin did not hesitate to stuff the book directly into the quilt.
Xia Qi breathed a sigh of relief. The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled at each other.
"Sister." Xia Qi lowered his eyelids, with a look of shame on his face, "It's my brother who hurt you." If I hadn't let you drink that bowl of chicken soup yesterday, you wouldn't have had this serious illness. ”
"Artemisia Annua told me everything. You didn't put the croton in the soup, so why did you bother to take it to heart? Xia Jin was looking for someone to ask about this, but it happened that Xia Qi was the person concerned, so it was more appropriate to ask him, "Brother, why did the fifth brother want to drug you?" ”
A trace of anger flashed on Xia Qi's face: "It's just that in the school, he asked me to pour him tea, I didn't do it, and after a few quarrels, he did such a poisonous act." Partial grandmother doted on him, last night I provoked him to admit it in a few words, and my father went to the upper room, and my grandmother punished him for a few days of banning, copying a few pages of books, and not even a word of repetition. ”
Xia Jin's brows furrowed.
In her memory, although Xia Jin's father Xia Zhengqian is the son of the old lady's in-law, he is extremely unpopular, and even Xia Qi and Xia Jin are hated, the old lady is not as good to them as the people in her house, and compared with the treatment of the children in the big house and the second room, it is even more different. And Dafang's youngest Xia Qi, that is, the "fifth young master" who is a chin bean in the soup, because he has red lips and white teeth, he is the most good at pleasing and selling, and the old lady hurts him like an eyeball, shouting all day long, for fear that he will be wronged a little.
The old lady is so eccentric, and Xia Jin is not "dead", it is not a big deal in everyone's opinion.
A hint of coldness flashed in Xia Jin's eyes.
Xia Jin was recovering from a serious illness and needed to recuperate the most, Xia Qi obviously didn't want her to be unhappy, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed Xia Jin's hair like a kitten, and changed the topic with a smile: "What do you want to eat?" When I come back from school, my brother buys it for you. ”
Xia Jin heard this, and his heart warmed.
She knew that the eldest wife of the Xia family could be regarded as stingy in her housekeeping. The monthly money of the three rooms is tight. The bird's nest porridge she had just drunk had never been seen before. I think it was Shu Shi who bought it with the dowry money at the bottom of the box.
Xia Qi is sensible, except for a little pocket money, he never reaches out to Shu Shi to ask for money. From time to time, he brought some snacks from outside the school to come back to coax his sister, all of which were copied and written in the school in exchange.
She shook her head: "No need brother, my father said, I can't eat indiscriminately for these two days." ”
"Oh, I forgot." Xia Qi touched his head, with a look of shame.
At this time, Artemisia annua had already brewed tea and came in, put it in a tray, and handed it to Xia Qi, with a suspicious flush on his face: "Fifth Young Master, this is the newly brewed tea of the slave maid, you taste it." ”
Xia Qi just took the time to come over to see his sister, where did he have the heart to drink tea, he waved his hand, and was about to let Artemisia Annua put it down, when he heard the voices of men and women outside.
Xia Jin also turned his head and listened. I could hear that two of them were Xia Zhengqian and Shu's voices, and who the other two men and women were, but I couldn't hear it.
She instructed Artemisia Annua, "Go and see." ”
Xia Qi saw Artemisia Annua go out, approached with a nervous face, and whispered: "Quickly hide the book, it's the second uncle and the second aunt." ”
Xia Jin hurriedly took the book out of the quilt, lifted the corner of the futon, and covered it after putting the book away.
