Chapter 40: The Quartet
Although the wound on my chest when I woke up from my dream made my back sweat with pain, I still vaguely remember the instructions of the big brother in white before I fell unconscious.
When my father heard that I was telling him that he was going to move, he was stunned for a moment, and then thought for a few seconds and said to me: "Let's not talk about this, you are such a big person, why are you still so careless......?"
"Uncle Ye, let me come, I graduated from the nursing major before I worked in our Ye company, and every time I organized off-campus practice in school, I often changed the dressing for patients, and this kind of small work was difficult for me. Lu Youcai's girlfriend Xiaoxia came to the bed and said to her father.
"Then please Sister Xia, tsk tsk, you are really blessed to have wealth. I endured the pain and said to Lu Youcai.
When he saw my compliment, he began to brag with a shy face: "That is, you don't look at how energetic you are when you have a rich brother! People say that I, Lu Youcai, am a young talent in the business world of Jiyang! Even that dead ghost Zhao Genta and his son Zhao Taozhu are not as good as me! Fulu, listen, young talent, my favorite comment in these four words is this word 'Jun', because this character is my characteristic!"
I couldn't listen to it anymore, so I took advantage of Sister Xia's time to change my dressing, and raised my leg and kicked Youcai gently.
"Lu Youcai, your skin is really thicker than the city wall, if you are handsome, there will be no ugly people in the whole world!" I grinned, the disinfected wound on my chest hurt so much that I wanted to stomp my feet, Xiaoyi saw it in her eyes, full of distress.
Lu Youcai saw that I didn't have a chance to chase and beat him, so he shook his head and smiled and said to me: "Little comrade, your thinking is very dangerous!"
"Dangerous your uncle!" Xiao Yi saw that I was being tricked by Lu Youcai and couldn't fight back, so she rushed to Lu Youcai and put him down with an arrow step, so frightened that Youcai screamed, got up and hid behind the eldest sister.
I have the impression that Xiaoyi has never been so happy, she used to have an indifferent face like she didn't eat the fireworks of the world, and after she got close to me, she was also very respectful to her family, and she had never seen her let go like this today.
Watching a few of them go crazy, I suddenly thought of the scene of frolicking with my brothers in the Taoist temple when I was a child, alas, when I grew up, I can't go back to that time.
The eldest sister may not have been crazy with someone for a long time, and today she seems extremely happy, when she was crazy, she suddenly fell on the edge of my bed, Xiaoyi also seemed to want to get closer to her family as soon as possible, so she wanted to continue to be crazy with the eldest sister, so she pounced on the eldest sister all of a sudden.
Dad and Aunt Lu also laughed when they saw this situation, they were happy to see the juniors living in harmony, but how did they expect that Sister Xia, who changed the medicine for me, thought that Xiao Yi was not joking, and kicked Xiao Yi in the abdomen as soon as she raised her leg sideways, Xiao Yi usually reacts quickly, and generally no one has successfully attacked her, but she is defenseless against everyone present today, how can she avoid Sister Xia's legs that look very sharp?
only heard the sound of "bang", and the defenseless Xiaoyi was kicked more than a meter away by Sister Xia, slammed into the wall and then fell to the ground.
"Xiaoyi!" I didn't care about the wound in my chest, so I stood up and ran to pick up Xiaoyi.
At this time, blood flowed from the corners of Xiaoyi's mouth, her face was pale, and she was already unconscious.
Among the people I pinched her, Sister Xia was also following the rescue despite everyone's hateful gaze, and I took out a few talismans from my pocket, but I forgot how to activate the spell for a while.
The life talisman is taught by the master to several of our apprentices, it is a kind of talisman that he created himself to bring the dying back to life, each of our brothers and sisters has three talismans, two of which are life talismans, and the other is a death talisman derived from the life talisman, as the name suggests, it is to use this talisman to die.
Master said that the way of the world has changed, people's hearts have also changed, it is inevitable that there will be a bad luck when going out, the life charm can save lives, the death charm can send life, if he encounters difficulties and can't bear it, he can use the death charm, you can be liberated, and this kind of charm can only be used by yourself, and it has no effect on others.
I heard Master once get drunk and tell us that this kind of death charm was created by his former wife who poured evil magic on the basis of his self-created life charm, and his wife tried it many times in order to test the effect of this charm, and the last time she died in the death charm.
"Dad!Uncle San! Set up a car!Go to the county hospital!" I roared hoarsely, and suddenly Xiaoyi coughed, and bright red blood gushed out of her mouth!
"Hulu, Hulu, I can't accompany you......" Xiaoyi raised her hand and stroked my face with difficulty, tears were in her eyes, before she finished speaking, suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, splashing everywhere, Xiaoyi's breathing suddenly became rapid, the hand that was originally on my face slipped to my shoulder and clutched the clothes tightly, I hugged her at a loss, and the family was nervous and anxious but didn't know what to do, at this moment, I saw a girl about twelve or thirteen years old walk in outside the door, this little girl wore two pigtails, wore a floral skirt, and carried a small red schoolbag, and saw me as soon as she entered the doorγ
"Seventh brother, what's wrong with you?!" The person who came was my eighth senior sister Fa Ming!
Fa Ming tilted his head and said to me, the last time I didn't say goodbye in Jinzhou, she was very sad, so I asked my eldest sister where my house was, I had long wanted to come to play with me, but I haven't been free, today it happened that her mother took her to Jinping County to do business, so she came to Longmiao Village by the way, she arrived in the evening, just now I have been watching the performance outside, and then after the performance was over, I came to my house slowly.
"Eighth sister, do you still remember how to use the birth talisman?" Looking at the dying Xiaoyi in my arms, Fa Ming didn't greet his family, flipped through his schoolbag, took out a small notebook, looked for a few pages, and finally found the spell to activate the birth talisman in a series of Chinese pinyin.
I was a little panicked, put on my robe and picked up the talisman paper and began to chant the mantra, for a while, Xiaoyi's breathing was finally stable, but the person had not woken up yet, and when I was doing it, I vaguely heard Aunt Lu reprimanding Lu Youcai.
After this incident, Sister Xia couldn't pull her face a little, she wanted to leave but felt that it was inappropriate, and she couldn't help at all if she didn't go, so she could only watch the results from the sidelines.
Xiaoyi is alive, she is awake, she can understand things with her eyes open, but she can't speak, she can't move, she went to the hospital, she couldn't find out the crux of the problem, and I used all kinds of Taoist techniques to rescue me to no avail.
"Why are you using such a deadly trick on Xiaoyi?" I called Sister Xia out of the door and asked her coldly.
"I thought she was going to hurt the eldest lady, so ......" Sister Xia deliberately didn't finish her words, she blinked at me, and continued word by word: "Give her a ride." β
Her short sentence made my heart tremble, and it seemed that this kind of thing was normal for her.
"Oh, I can't see that Sister Xia is still a femme fatale, I don't care if you send others to ascend to Bliss early, but what you did today and what you just said, I won't let you go. "I'm really angry, I'm already angry, Xiaoyi's accident made me even more angry, looking at the ruthless woman in front of me at the moment, I just want to secretly kill her to avenge Xiaoyi.
"You don't have the right to deal with me. "Sister Xia spoke to me with a very cold attitude, and she was like two people like Sister Xia, who was lively and cheerful before.
"Hehe, why?" I already planned to catch this woman at this time, even if I have money and objections, I will persuade Aunt Lu to speak for me, the big right and wrong Aunt Lu has always been to help relatives and not help, I believe she will understand me, and so is wealth.
"My duty is to protect the Ye family, especially the person at the helm of the Ye family, unless the head of the family can dispose of me, others, including the old chairman, don't even have the right to order me. Sister Xia looked at me and said something like this, and I suddenly realized.
"Are you a member of our Ye family's guard?" I asked her tentatively.
"After Uncle Liu left, I have been serving as the captain of the guard. She said.
"I'll tell my eldest sister to let her dispose of you, you go back and rest first!" I said to her coldly, I don't know how much the hatred in my heart has increased, and it is really uncomfortable to say that it is a little ugly, and let my dog bite it.
I turned around to leave, but Sister Xia stood where she was and suddenly asked me: "In what capacity did you go to tell the chairman that you want to deal with me? A Taoist priest who cultivates or a leader of a cult?"
I turned around and looked surprised, what the family didn't know, how could this woman in front of me, who had only been in contact with several faces, know so clearly?
"How do you know so much?" I asked her, squinting at me, feeling even more unhappy, for I couldn't understand whether this woman was friend or foe.
After listening to my question, Sister Xia smiled rarely, but she sneered: "Hmph, do you know what the name of the Ye family's escort team is?"
Because I left home at a young age and I haven't been to Jiyang since I came to the Northeast at the age of three, I don't know anything about the family.
I shook my head, and Sister Xia said to me: "It's normal that you don't know some things, after all, this is the secret of the Ye family, and even the core members of the Ye family like Youcai don't know." β
Sister Xia deliberately stopped as she spoke, and I hurriedly asked, "What's your name?"
Maybe it was my ignorance that disgusted Sister Xia, but she looked into my eyes and said to me slowly, "The Quartet." β
