Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 38 The Awakened Grandpa

Shen Haolin was sick for about four or five days, and Shen Cha was also tense for four or five days. Now that Shen Haolin's condition has improved, she can breathe a little bit more. Finally, she can take a good rest without straining the strings in her heart.

Shen Cha fell asleep in a daze. She had a dream about some things when she was a child, even those things that she was unwilling to actively recall when she was awake.

Before being adopted by the Duke and his wife of the old town, Shen Cha's life was extremely difficult and hard, even people from ordinary families could not imagine it, and it is not too much to describe it as life is worse than death.For her, those few years were in dire straits, deeply engraved in her bones, and she will never forget them.

In fact, Shen Cha thinks that she is not afraid of hardships. A girl who fought in the military camp for many years and defeated most of the men in the army did not rely on her so-called eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhen's mansion to achieve her current position. identity of.The affairs of the military camp and the court are completely different. The court is looking at family background, but in the military camp it is the fist. As long as the fist is strong enough, who cares what your origin is.Among the chief generals of each battalion of the Shen family's army, there were also ordinary family backgrounds, who could still become the chief generals of a battalion by relying on their military merits.

Although Shen Cha did not have the opportunity to experience the process from soldier to general, her growth path was much more difficult than this.The so-called heaven will send a great task to the people, and they must first suffer from their will, their muscles and bones, and their bodies and skins.Shen Cha thought that she had personally experienced these points before she entered the Duke's Mansion.

Until now, she still clearly remembers what Jiapingguan City looked like when she was a child. It was not as prosperous and lively as it is now, and the city wall was not as strong as it is now. Like the ruins behind.But even though the environment is so harsh, some of the people who live here still have fun, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and everything is no less than those in the bustling towns.Her biological parents were part of these fun-seeking bastards, idle around every day, never knowing how to work hard to support the family, and only knew to hang out in various casinos from morning till night.

At that time, although Shen Cha was young, he had to do a lot of things. In addition to taking care of his younger brother, he also had to take care of some housework, such as cooking, washing clothes, etc. Sometimes, the family did not buy vegetables or rice. For the money, she also helps the neighbor aunt to do some rough work, such as moving firewood or something, to earn a few copper coins by doing what she can, and use the only money to buy some cheap rice and cheap vegetables. If they don't, the family will starve.

In fact, such a day is completely acceptable for Shen Cha. The living standards of many people in Jiaping Guancheng are basically the same. After all, there have been years of war here. All the supplies will be looted by Liao people and Jin people, and even girls and boys with some colors will be robbed.

At that time, in Jiapingguan City, there were almost no young and strong laborers, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled. This directly caused the people in the city to be very poor. It was normal to not have enough food and clothing. There are people who starve to death or freeze to death, everyone has become accustomed to it.

It's just that other people's families do rough work and hard work by the adults in the family. In the whole city, there is only a child like Shen Cha who is responsible for the whole family's livelihood, and the adults in this family are having fun in the casino. What they care about is whether they are lucky today and whether they can win money. As for the life and death of their children, it is not something they need to worry about at all.

What Shen Cha fears and hates the most is her biological parents. If the couple wins money and eats a good meal outside, then their attitude towards her and her younger brother can be better, and their tone of voice is not bad. Gentle, it is possible to spend the day in peace.If they got angry outside, or lost all their money, it would be terrible. The first thing they would do when they came back was to beat up Shen Cha, and let them vent their depression. .

Shen Cha once accidentally overheard the conversation of this couple. They didn't plan to have a child, but they had no choice but to give birth.But since having a child, the life of the two of them has not been as good as before, so they think that the child is a bastard.

Since he is a broom star, it is only natural to vent the anger he received outside and the evil fire accumulated in his heart on his nemesis. Even if it is spread outside, no one will say anything, but sympathize The couple's.Thinking about it this way, the couple became more ruthless when they attacked Shen Cha, and even worse.

Later, the target of the couple venting their anger was not only Shen Cha, but even Shen Jiu. The world is over, and Shen Jiajun will not have a young general who is usually flying and jumping, but is extremely brave on the battlefield.

It is precisely because of this that Shen Cha was in very bad health when she first entered the Zhen Guogong's mansion and was adopted by the old Duke and his wife. According to Jin Miaomiao and her master, Master Huilan, this child can live It was already a miracle.There were countless festering wounds on his body, and the damage to his foundation was serious. Fortunately, the Duke of Zhenguo brought a lot of precious medicinal materials from Xijing, otherwise, even he couldn't guarantee that Shen Cha would survive for a month.

Even if Master Huilan snatched Shen Cha's life back from Lord Yan, in the next two years, she would suffer from quite a lot of illnesses, basically a small illness every three days and a serious illness every five days. Just like eating, three times a day never fails, and when it is serious, I have to make up for a supper.Fortunately, Shen Cha gritted his teeth and persevered. After several years of intensive care, those old injuries and hidden diseases disappeared.And every time she was sick, especially when she was so sick that she felt like she was going to die, her elder brother would always be by her side.Every time she wakes up from a coma, the first person she sees when she opens her eyes is also her elder brother.

Until now, Shen Cha firmly believes that as long as her brother is by her side, no matter what kind of difficulties and setbacks she encounters, she can persevere and usher in the final victory.

Just when Shen Cha was meeting her brother in his dream, Lord Zhen Guo, who had been lying on the bed for several days, finally woke up.

Shen Haolin felt as if he had slept for a long, long time. Every time his reason told him to wake up, the instinct of his body would make him continue to sleep. When he struggled to sit up, his body seemed to be thrown by a huge rock I suppressed it, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move. In the end, I was exhausted, and I had to obey my body's wishes and continue to sleep.

But this time, Shen Haolin finally felt that he had become relaxed, the boulder on his body disappeared quietly, and his body was under his control again.

Slowly opening his eyes, Shen Haolin stretched out his hand to block the slightly dazzling candlelight, and after getting used to it for a while, he put his hand down.He tried to sit up, perhaps because he had been lying down for so long and hadn't eaten in days, and the first attempt failed.He rested for a while, exhausted all his strength, and finally sat up. He leaned against the head of the bed and took a few breaths, reaching out his hand to wipe the slight sweat from his forehead.

Apart from not having much strength, he didn't feel any discomfort in his body, but his throat and lips were a little dry, and he wanted to drink some water.He habitually reached out to touch the small table beside the bed, and there was indeed a small teapot on it, which was still a little warm to the touch, and it should be suitable to drink now.

After drinking a pot of water, Shen Haolin began to search around. Although the room was not very bright, he could still see a ball huddled on the soft couch by the wall at a glance. Just from this sleeping position, he knew Who is that person.He was overjoyed, and wanted to get out of bed when he lifted the quilt, but his strength had not yet recovered, and it took him a long time to forcefully stand up from the bed.He supported the bed frame and gasped for a long time, before slowly, step by step, he rubbed to the side of the soft couch.

Looking at the face exposed outside the quilt, Shen Haolin sighed softly, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, it was not as hot as imagined, but there was a trace of coolness on the contrary.He knew that he was probably sick, and it was quite serious, so Shen Cha moved back here to take care of himself.Moreover, looking at the tiredness on Shen Cha's face and the shadows under his eyes, it should be that he has been taking care of himself non-stop for several days, which has consumed a lot of energy.

Seeing Shen Cha like this, Shen Haolin felt very distressed. Her appearance now is almost exactly the same as when she was dying of illness when she was a child. At that time, he was very worried every day, worried that one day his sister would quietly disappear in this place. world.Fortunately, his baby sister was very upbeat, and after the most difficult two years, she was completely reborn.

Shen Haolin sighed, slowly walked back to the bed, picked up his quilt, and walked back.He felt that based on his current situation, it was very unrealistic to want to hug Shen Cha back to the bed, not to mention that he fell halfway, it was very likely that he couldn't even hug him.In order not to put himself in an embarrassing situation, he simply carried his quilt over and slept on the soft couch with Shen Cha.

Holding Shen Cha in his arms again, Shen Haolin suddenly felt as if he had passed away, as if it had been a long, long, long time since the last time the two embraced each other to sleep.Shen Haolin tightened his hands, kissed the treasure he had lost and recovered, and swore in his heart that no matter what happened in the future, he would never let go of this person in his arms.
