System Crisis

Chapter 43 That Child...

"No loan."

Shen Lu refused expressionlessly.

Shangqi didn't insist either, he withdrew his hand and took off the wine bag, and took two gulps.

Shen Lu peeked at him. He hadn't eaten anything for a day. Drinking like this might give him a stomachache.

Since he doesn't ask for himself, no matter what he does, it's best to drink to death!No one knows your secret.

When the wolf leg was half-cooked, it finally had some meaty smell.Shen Lu finally said, "Hey, what's your name? Tell me a story, and I'll lend you the knife!"

Shang Qi's pretty straight eyebrows moved slightly, and he smiled vaguely, "Okay."

"My name is Shangqi."

The firewood was almost exhausted, and Shangqi added some more to it, and the strong flames reflected the blushing of the two people's faces.

"I used to live in a small village in the east. My sister and I were the only two people in the family. My sister was six or seven years older than me. People say that my elder sister is like a mother. She not only does farm work for me, but also picks seasonal fruits. To sell, to make sewing and subsidy for the wealthy families in the town in winter... she said, "

Shang Qi smiled, his eyes fell on the flames, as if there was a warm fire in his eyes.

"She said she wanted to send me to a private school in the town. So she didn't get married when I got older, just for fear that I would be wronged if I had a husband."

While Shen Lu listened, she gently cut off another wolf's leg and put it on the fire.I don't know why I'm a little afraid of disturbing him.

"One year there was a flood, and our house was destroyed. She took me to float on the water for two or three days, but the water didn't go down. We rescued a child in the water...she was only five or six years old, and she seemed to be our daughter. From the village, I didn’t know each other very much when I went to private school for two years..."

Shang Qi's voice was deep and slow, and he was ecstatic, and before he knew it, one side of the wolf's leg was burnt.

Shang Qi flipped it over with a smile, and continued to talk, it seemed that it was not because Shen Lu wanted to hear it, but for himself.

"The child is so young, but she can't see the idea of ​​wanting to live. She was very angry. I pulled her out of the water, and she couldn't help but bite me. It hurts..."

It's the scar on his wrist.

Shen Lu's expression darkened. Her home used to be on the east side, and there was also a flood... I don't know how many families were destroyed in that year, and their corpses were exposed in the wilderness.She also didn't want to live, if the young master didn't come, maybe she would really die like that.

"She bit me, but she cried herself. I couldn't stop it. It felt like the mountains were full of her crying... I didn't dare to cry when she cried, because I was afraid that my sister would be sad."

Shen Lu read the story, tore off a piece of meat and chewed hard, it was burnt and very hard.

Shangqi handed her the wine.The wine was so strong that Shen Lu almost choked up tears, but couldn't hold back a second sip.

"The child still dived later. My wound deteriorated, and I was groggy. I couldn't stop her. My sister broke out and suffered from tuberculosis after years of hard work."

"The child said that she wanted to find medicine for us, and then she never came back. There is medicine in such a big flood, silly child..."

Shang Qi smiled, his eyes were spoiled, immersed in sadness.

Shen Lu took a mouthful of meat but couldn't swallow it.It turned out that the person suffering from tuberculosis was Shang Qi's sister.Such a good sister.

"How did you survive?"

Shang Qi looked at her, took back the jug, and took a sip, "The child didn't come back, but the medicine was brought back by someone, and there was only one blood coagulation grass that was about to soak. The water receded, and the disaster relief officials arrived. All the living people were locked up. I applied medicine and escaped, and went to the capital."

Shangqi didn't say any more, took another wolf leg and mechanically bit it bit by bit.

A fact he dared not forget.

The days when I was closest to death, and the life afterward, were bought by others with their lives.

That child, he asked the man with the medicine, where did she go?
