After making a lifelong promise to the villain, his vest exploded

Chapter 8 Temporary Siblings 2
When the old lady came out to see Yin Xi, she saw this scene:
The thin girl squatted under the eaves of the door, her small white hands tightly covering her head. Her smart eyes were filled with tears, and they were falling silently along her red cheeks.

It looks particularly pitiful, making people feel pity when they see it.

"Girl, girl!" The old lady shouted several times, which was able to pull Yin Xi back from the endless self-blame.

"Ah, grandma, wuwu, my brother, my brother is dead? Wuwuwu..." Yin Xi cried so hard that she couldn't even say a complete sentence smoothly.

Unexpectedly, the old woman's expression looked extremely excited, and she didn't feel the sadness of a dead person at all.She slapped her thigh excitedly and said to Yin Xi with a smile: "No, no, how could such a thing happen? Your brother has just fallen asleep now, and the bleeding has stopped. Somehow, even the fractures on his body have stopped. It was like a god appeared, and everything was healed overnight."

"Ah...ah?" Yin Xi couldn't think of anything for a moment. She blinked her big, watery eyes from crying and looked at the old lady in a daze with a confused face.

Seeing that Yin Xi was dumbfounded and didn't react, the old woman walked over quickly, grabbed Yin Xi's arm and pulled her in.

Yin Xi was pulled closer to the back room and came to the young man for no apparent reason.

The old grandfather in the room frowned and stood aside, stroking his big white beard with his hands, looking at the young man on the bed with an expression of disbelief.

After Yin Xi followed her old grandpa's gaze to the bed, the same disbelief appeared on her face:
The young man lay quietly on the bed, closing his eyes and falling asleep.What was different from before was that the young man's originally defeated and bloodless face was now rosy, and the wounds on his body, large and small, miraculously disappeared.

The old couple removed the dirty cloth strips from him. At this moment, the young man didn't look like he was seriously injured or about to die, but more like he had simply fallen asleep.

"This..." Yin Xi was stunned. She pointed at the young man and asked, "Grandma, what's going on?"

The old man was afraid of disturbing the young man's rest, so he took Yin Xi to the outer room to sit down, and thoughtfully served Yin Xi a bowl of egg custard.

Perhaps she was too full after eating dry food last night. Yin Xi didn't feel hungry even after working all day. She had no intention of eating and instead asked anxiously about the boy's condition.

The old woman took a sip of tea to moisten her throat first, and then sighed with a strange look on her face: "I am old, I opened a medical clinic when I was young, and I have treated many people. But in a situation like this, It can be said that she has come back to life, but this is the first time I have seen the old lady."

Forget about you, I have lived in modern times for 20 years, and this is the first time I have seen you.

Yin Xi kept talking, not knowing what to say.

The meditative old man lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said mysteriously: "When I was young, I was fortunate enough to meet a monk with an immortal spirit. I saw with my own eyes that the man took out a small porcelain bottle and used it to The magical elixir saved a young man who slipped and fell on the mountain and was seriously injured."

As he spoke, he turned around and asked Yin Xi seriously: "My child, did your brother also take such a magical medicine, so he saved his life?"

Yin Xi turned her head, and she pretended to be confused and replied: "No, we are just here to find a magic medicine for our mother who is seriously ill at home. If there really was such a magic medicine as you mentioned, we would have given it to her a long time ago." My mother used it, why bother to go out to find medicine and make my brother injured like this." With that, Yin Xi's acting skills came to the forefront and she began to wipe her tears.

When the two old men saw that Yin Xi's pitiful appearance didn't look fake, they didn't want to ask any more questions. They comforted Yin Xi for a few words and then went about their own affairs.

After waiting for the two old men to go away, Yin Xi put down the hand rubbing his eyes with relief.

Oops, I’m rubbing my eyes so hard that I feel like stars are popping up in my eyes.

Yin Xi blinked hard several times before adjusting his vision back to normal.

It's not that she is too selfish, it's just that now she is alone in a foreign country, the people around her are unfamiliar, and Yin Xi currently doesn't even have the ability to protect herself.

If the news that he possesses the elixir is exposed now, he may cause some trouble for himself in the future.

When you go out, be more cautious about people.

Yin Xi subconsciously covered the small bag of tips placed on her chest under her clothes. Thinking of her master, her heart felt warm.

This time the boy fell asleep for a bit long. Yin Xi started to feel sleepy in the afternoon, and then inadvertently fell asleep on the table.

When I was woken up by Grandma, it was already the moon on the branches, and the stars were twinkling.

Yin Xi squinted her eyes, looked at the strange-looking grandma, and said vaguely: "What's wrong, grandma?" There was a bit of hoarseness in her voice that she had just woken up from.

The old woman's lips moved for a long time, but she didn't say anything. She just said: "My child, please stop talking. Come in with me. Your brother is awake."

After saying that, she looked at Yin Xi deeply with a weird look again, and then entered the back room.

What woke up?
Who is awake?
...Damn it!
He is awake!
Yin Xi's expression gradually changed from dull and confused at the beginning to shock. Thinking of her grandma's unclear look just now, Yin Xi suddenly remembered that she had lied to others about the boy being her "younger brother".

Now that the "brother" has woken up, the lie is about to be exposed.How should she explain this to the two of them?

And what to do with that boy?

Yin Xi gnawed her fingers in confusion. The few steps to the back room made her walk as if they were on the execution ground, with every step she took reluctantly.

Then she took a deep breath and prepared for the next question. However, when she just stepped one foot into the inner room, three heads in the room turned around to stare at her.

Yin Xi, who was closely surrounded by the eyes of three people:...

Suddenly I feel a little afraid to move. What's going on?

Yin Xi kept one foot in and one foot out, and gave the three of them an awkward yet embarrassed smile.As soon as she raised her eyes, she met the young man's eyes directly. For some reason, Yin Xi felt that something was wrong with the young man's eyes.

She couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong.

Seems a little confused and sluggish.

Even a little... uh... pitiful?
helpless?

Overwhelmed?
These are all bad adjectives. Yin Xi put his hand on his forehead and secretly cursed himself for being mentally ill.But the current situation did not allow her to think too much, and Yin Xi planned to explain herself before the old couple cross-examined her.

So she took the lead and said: "That grandma, actually he..."

"Oh, girl, don't say anything yet." Unexpectedly, as soon as he started to speak, he was interrupted by grandma's nervous tone, which was a bit too nervous.

Grandma then moved a stool and pulled Yin Xi over to do it. She held up Yin Xi's hand and patted it gently. She said, "My child, please listen carefully. Don't be sad. As long as you are still alive, you will be happy." It’s been very blessed by God.”

It’s not God who bless you, it’s me who bless you.

Yin Xi listened to her grandma's words fine at first, but as she went to the back, she became more and more confused.

These words are a bit like the prototype of a modern low-end version of Chicken Soup for the Soul, but...

why?
Then the old grandmother's next words gave Yin Xi the answer: "My child, your brother is awake, but... there is something wrong with him." The grandmother pointed at the boy's head at the end.

"Your brother was injured by a wild beast before, and then accidentally knocked his head, so..."

Just what?That's what you said!

Yin Xi was anxious. Did the medicine she gave the boy really have any side effects?
"It's just..." "Oh, it's just that your brother is a little confused right now and can't remember who he is." Unlike the old grandma's caution, the old grandpa directly slammed the table and told the truth.

The angry old woman glared at Grandpa fiercely, then she turned around nervously and kept comforting Yin Xi's mood.

Yin Xi until the truth:….
Oh yeah!
God helps me too!

The uncontrollable excitement on Yin Xi's face made grandma worried. She tentatively called Yin Xi: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, I'm fine, I'm just..." I'm so happy.

Yin Xi felt happy for a moment. After she realized what she was doing, she quickly pretended to be sad and lost, and asked with "worry": "Grandma, does my brother really not remember anything?"

Grandma nodded with a sigh.

Yin Xi then said sadly: "That's really... makes me so sad." It makes me so happy!
Seeing the expression on Yin Xi's face that alternated between smiling and depressed, grandma was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it, so she comforted Yin Xi and said, "But it doesn't matter. You guys stay here for the next two days. I'll think of some way to remind your brother of the past, old lady." . Now you just need to stay by your brother's side and spend more time with him, maybe he will think of something."

Then forget it, I hope he won't think about it for a while.

At least don't think about it for the next two days.

Yin Xi secretly prayed in her heart. After her grandma said this, she pulled her old man out and thoughtfully gave Yin Xi and her "brother" space to be alone.

Finally, they were the only "temporary siblings" left in the room. The young man leaned against the bed and said nothing. His overly handsome face was full of ignorance and confusion. His clear eyes were staring straight at Yin. Looking at it, Yin Xi felt guilty.
