After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 129 Getting Ready

"elder sister?"

Over the years, because of Yao Wanning's serious illness, almost three meals a day were provided by a separate small kitchen for additional meals, and she was never with everyone in Liu's courtyard.

I didn't expect her to come here today, it's very rare.

"I didn't expect it?"

With a smile on her face, Liu looked at her little daughter:
"Your sister is recovering now, and she can walk around and have dinner together."

This is a rare reunion dinner for the Yao family, even if it was a Chinese New Year holiday in previous years, it might not be like this.

Liu said with some regret:
"It's just that your father is not at home, otherwise it would be better."

When she mentioned Yao Hui, her expression was a little gloomy, but she was very happy that her eldest daughter could walk alone. Thinking of the dispute with Yao Shouning in the morning, she seemed a little satisfied:
"I said your sister recovered after drinking the medicine, but you still don't believe me, mother didn't lie to you, did she?"

"..."

Yao Shouning didn't speak, her eyes fell on Yao Wanning's face.

She was sitting there with her hands folded on her lap, her complexion was still pale from a long illness, but her whole body had already shed her sickness, her eyes were smiling, and she looked at her sister with a smile:

"what happened?"

While speaking, Yao Shouning's eyes fell on the center of her eyebrows, where there was a small vermilion mole, which was so red that it was about to bleed.

A green mist seemed to linger around her, but the people around her, including Yao Wanning herself, didn't seem to notice it.

Under Yao Shouning's gaze, the red mole on the center of Yao Wanning's eyebrows began to rotate rapidly, and it seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

In an instant, it changed from the size of a mung bean to the size of a peanut, and rapidly expanded, expanding to about the size of an egg. When she was terrified, it exploded with a 'boom'!

Once the red mole exploded, a large stream of red mist splashed from the mole with a 'bang', dyeing the whole room a strange scarlet color.

In Yao Shouning's 'eyes', Yao Wanning was wearing red all over her body at this time, and her dress was also dyed blood-like. She was still sitting there with her hands folded, and the bursting red clouds condensed into a top. The strange blood-beaded phoenix crown shrouded the top of her head, covering half of her face in the blood light.

The pale-faced Yao Wanning was like a stiff marionette, losing all vitality in an instant, like a bride-to-be, sitting there, waiting for her future husband-in-law to come to her door.

The sound of suona, gongs and drums sounded next to his ears, and the shrill and high-pitched voices of the monsters reached Yao Shouning's ears again:

"Where is the bride?"

"The river god is coming—"

"Master River God is coming to pick up his bride soon—"

……

"Shou Ning? Shou Ning!"

Yao Shouning's consciousness was immersed in the illusion, but she was shocked when she heard Liu's unpleasant shout suddenly raising the volume.

The ghost's voice was suppressed, and the bloody red mist in front of him distorted and faded away.

Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand and patted her little daughter's shoulder, then frowned:

"Why are you in a daze? Your sister is talking to you?"

Yao Shouning shuddered when he thought of the ghost that caught him in the dream, and almost subconsciously waved his hand to grab Liu Shi's hand, which was amazingly powerful.

"mother?"

That hand was round and round, not the thin and fluffy scary touch in her dream. Yao Shouning took a closer look and saw that it was his mother he was holding, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "So it was you."

"You kid, you are so frizzy, who else would you be if it wasn't me!"

Liu Shi felt a little painful from being pinched by her, so she patted her hand:
"Why are you so strong?"

Only then did Yao Shouning realize that he had pinched her, and quickly let go. When he looked at Yao Wanning again, she was still sitting in the previous posture, but she didn't smile anymore, as if she was a little dazed by her reaction.

"Big brother."

She glanced at Yao Ruoyun listlessly, then walked towards Yao Wanning:
"Today I'm going to sit next to my sister."

There seems to be something wrong with her temper recently, as if she is pretending to be troubled.

Yao Wanning could see that she was in a bad mood, thinking of the dispute between her and her mother during the day today, and thinking of the way she looked at her just now, her lips moved, but she didn't make a sound, she just took the initiative to pull the stool so that she could sit on her own side.

Seeing that the whole family was seated, Mammy Cao hurried to the kitchen.

Meals have already been prepared, and to celebrate Yao Wanning's recovery, Madam Cao and the kitchen staff prepared a sumptuous dinner.

But for some reason, Yao Shouning always felt a little apprehensive about this sumptuous dinner because of the previous illusion, and he didn't have much appetite.

Liu Shi was originally uneasy because Yao Hui was taken away by the criminals, but the arrival of Yao Wanning diluted her inner sorrow and made her feel a little better.

Coupled with the fact that the three children are all by her side, even though there are still some troubles at home that have not been resolved, it also makes Liu feel that there is hope in life, so she eats more for dinner.

After the meal, everyone sat and talked for a while, and they talked about Yao Wanning's illness over the past few years. After sitting for a while, Yao Wanning showed a bit of sluggishness, and his spirit seemed to be a little weak.

Seeing this, Liu could not help feeling distressed, and wanted to send the eldest daughter back to the house, and ordered Yao Ruoyun to send the younger daughter back.

Yao Ruoyun thought about Yao Hui's orders during the day, and shook her head:
"It's getting dark, mother hasn't had a good rest for a long time, why don't you stay in the room to rest earlier, I'll take the two younger sisters back to the room."

Although he is young, he has always acted prudently. Mrs. Liu was indeed a little tired and hardly slept well last night. Hearing these words now, she did not try to be brave.

But at this moment, only Yao Shouning said:
"Brother doesn't need to go twice, I want to stay in my sister's room tonight and sleep with her."

As soon as she said this, Liu Shi was taken aback.

"You child, what's going on recently?"

Last night she insisted on clinging to sleep in the main room, but tonight she had a whim and wanted to go back to the room with Yao Wanning to sleep together.

"There is no extra bed in your sister's room. She is just sick. Don't pester her. You'd better go back to sleep in your own room."

As soon as Liu's words were finished, Yao Shouning shook his head:
"My sister finally recovered from her illness. I have a lot of whispers to tell her. Tonight, I just want to sleep with my sister."

After listening to Yao Hui's advice, she didn't want to talk back to her mother, but when she thought of the previous illusion and the thicker fog outside, she felt very uneasy and dared not leave Yao Wanning's side.

The father in the family who knew about it was taken away by the prison secretary. Firstly, the eldest brother did not know the inside story, and secondly, he was young and had never seen a ghost. I am afraid that if he mentioned it rashly, it might scare him badly.

Since my mother doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, if I tell her, I'm just asking for trouble.

In contrast, Yao Shouning, who has seen the power of gods and ghosts and has the power of foresight, is the most suitable person to protect Yao Wanning.

She didn't know what kind of existence the "River God" reminded her of in this foresight, but when she was in the general's mansion that day, her blood could wake up Lu Zhi, and it must have a certain restraint effect on evil spirits.

Yao Shouning felt uneasy in her heart. In the face of unknown dangers, she was actually very afraid.

But sitting next to her was her weak elder sister. When she thought of this, the trace of fear in her heart was gradually suppressed by her.

When her father is not at home, she should protect her family!
"you……"

Seeing that she was 'stubborn', Mrs. Liu was a little unhappy at first, but seeing her pursed lips and a nervous look on her face, thinking of how much she seemed to have neglected her these days, Su Miaozhen and her brother After she came, she lost the little attention she had left.

I've reprimanded her many times recently, and even argued a few words during the day today.

She was clamoring to sleep with someone, after all, she was still a child, maybe it was just a lack of attention.

Thinking of this, Liu's heart softened slightly, and he simply softened his tone:

"Shouning, don't make trouble. If you don't want to go back tonight, you might as well stay here with mother. Mother will sleep with you."

She has compromised repeatedly, but Yao Shouning is very persistent, reaching out to hug Yao Wanning, and sticking her soft and boneless body against it:

"No, I will only sleep with my sister tonight."

"you!"

Liu's complexion sank now, and she finally couldn't suppress her irritable temper. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Yao Wanning yawned a little and smoothed things over:

"Mother, just let Shouning sleep with me."

"But..." As soon as Liu's voice came out, the eldest daughter lowered her head and covered her lips with her hand, and yawned silently.

I don't know if it's because of a long illness, even if he recovers, his spirit is still a bit weak.

She was fine during the day, but at night she was very sleepy, yawned several times in succession, her eyelids were sore, and it was difficult to hold on:

"I don't usually spend much time with her. I'm getting better now. If she wants to sleep with me, let her accompany me."

Yao Wanning is Liu Shi's eyeball, and she has already opened her mouth to intercede, so Liu Shi naturally couldn't bear to refute her face.

Seeing that she was extremely sleepy, he couldn't bear to stay here for a long time to argue with Yao Shouning.

"Forget it, since you said so, I will follow you."

Once the Liu family agreed, Yao Shouning was relieved.

Yao Ruoyun didn't speak at first, but now seeing that her mother and sisters had reached a consensus, she wanted to send them back.

"Mother, do you have any calligraphy and paintings left by your grandfather in your room?"

As soon as they stood up, Yao Shouning suddenly asked Liu Shi again:
"It's best to be the one that my grandfather told you to keep carefully."

Something big will happen tonight. Although she is ready to protect her sister with blood, she is afraid that her own blood alone will not be able to drive away the 'river god', so she thinks of Liu Bingzhou.

The words he wrote were miraculous, when she sent them to Lu Zhi's room that day, she saw with her own eyes that those words stopped the evil spirits for a moment.

Until now, Yao Shouning felt a little regretful.

Although I feel sorry for Lu Zhi, if she had known today, she would not have been willing to give Lu Zhi the calligraphy and paintings left by her grandfather.

Right now, I only hope that there are still the calligraphy and paintings left by Liu Bingzhou at home. After staying through this night, I will think about it tomorrow, and see if I can find a Taoist priest who exorcises spirits and ghosts to come to my house.

"There are some calligraphy and paintings, but the one your grandfather specifically confessed is only that one."

Mrs. Liu also felt a little displeased with Yao Shouning's insistence on clinging to her eldest daughter, and she was even more dissatisfied when she heard that she still refused to leave and asked for calligraphy and painting in a long-winded manner:

"Your sister is sleepy and just recovering from a long illness. If you want to sleep with her, go back to your room quickly and don't dawdle."

"I took the calligraphy and painting and left."

Yao Shouning didn't want to dawdle, so he hurriedly asked:
"Where are my grandfather's calligraphy and paintings?"

Liu Shi didn't understand why she still insisted on calligraphy and painting at this time, she was speechless and helpless, but seeing that Yao Wanning was also willing to pamper her, she said angrily:

"Isn't the calligraphy and painting that he specifically confessed to you in your hands? As for the others, they are all locked in my cabinet."

"Could Mammy find it and send it to my sister's room?"

Yao Shouning was not ignorant, she turned her head to look at Yao Wanning, seeing that her sister was really sleepy, she kept rubbing her eyes, and couldn't bear to delay any longer.

She didn't dare to separate from Yao Wanning at this moment, so she had to tell Madam Cao to find it and send it to Yao Wanning's room.

Mammy Cao was a little dazed, she glanced at Mrs. Liu, and then at Yao Shouning:
"Do you want it tonight? Can you find it tomorrow?"

"I want tonight, I want to read my grandfather's handwriting." Yao Shouning nodded and replied:
"The sooner Mammy can get it, the better."

Liu's face sank like water, holding back the anger in her heart.

Grandma Cao didn't dare to speak again, she was afraid that if she asked, she would anger Liu's temper, so she nodded immediately:

"Then you go back to the house first, I found it later, let Fengchun take them all."

After hearing her answer, Yao Shouning breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly laughed:
"Thank you ma'am."

After saying this, she took Yao Wanning's hand:
"I'll help my sister."

The three brothers and sisters left the door of Liu's room, and the fog outside was even thicker.

The lantern at the door was covered with moisture, and the silk cloth of the small lantern brought by Mallow was already soaked. She lifted it up and shook it, while trying to light it:
"It's really strange tonight, why is there so much fog."

Shendu City is close to the Bailing River, and it is true that there will be mist in the early morning in spring and summer, but it is the first time in Mallow's memory that there is such a thick fog after nightfall.

Yao Wanning was already yawning continuously, her consciousness was drowsy, she seemed to be unable to stand still, she was very sleepy.

Seeing her like this, Qing Yuan and Bai Yu were deeply afraid that Yao Shouning would not be able to support her, so they took her over on their own initiative.

She tilted her head and leaned against Qing Yuan, squinting her eyes, as if she had already fallen asleep at this moment.

Yao Ruoyun glanced at her, and asked worriedly:
"Are you okay?"

"It should be fine."

While Qing Yuan was speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, it was cold to the touch, and it was not as hot as before.

Yao Wanning's breathing was also smooth, and she didn't look like she was suffering from heart palpitations. On the contrary, it looked like she had been extremely sleepy in the past.

"Go back quickly."

For some reason, Yao Shouning always felt a little uneasy, so he urged Yao Ruoyun.

He nodded, feeling that the two younger sisters were a little weird tonight, but he didn't know what was going on, and finally guessed whether it was because Yao Hui was arrested, which made the two of them uneasy.

The fog was very heavy, and Mallow muttered to the side that the tung oil seemed to be soaked in water mist, no matter how much it was lit, it would never burn.

Fortunately, Liu Qi brought the lantern over in time, which solved everyone's predicament.
