"Haha, which little girl will take care of me today?"
Shi Xiaorui asked kindly after hearing the sound of the door opening.
She got along very well with the nurses in the sanatorium. She had no heirs in her life, so she loved these young girls as her own granddaughters.
Gradually, she felt something was wrong. The footsteps were clearly those of two people and one person in a wheelchair, three in total.
Shi Xiaorui was bedridden every day, and she really couldn't imagine any patients coming to see her.
When Shi Maohai and Mr. Shi saw Shi Xiaorui on the hospital bed, they were speechless.
She was so thin that the outline of her bones could be seen, her face was extremely haggard, and one of her exposed hands was marked by needle holes.
Mr. Shi vaguely remembered that when he met his cousin when he was a child, she was a very charming beauty.
The child does not understand the grudges between adults. He only thinks that his cousin is like a fairy, so he always wants to play with his cousin.
But when his parents found out, they scolded him and refused to allow him to have any contact with his cousin.
My cousin is also a child of the Liyuan Garden. Her eyes are particularly moving, as if they are autumn water, and she is looking forward to the sky.
But now, her eyes were cloudy, and she obviously had advanced cataracts.
The group of ghosts that were attached to Mr. Shi also followed. They attached themselves to Shi Xiaorui's ears and told her everything that had just happened.
Shi Xiaorui's face suddenly turned gloomy, she pursed her lips and her thin fingers were trembling.
Mr. Shi didn't know what happened to his family and Shi Xiaorui to make an old man so angry.
His heart moved, and he reached out to straighten Shi Xiaorui's quilt, and then put her cold hand into the quilt.
Unexpectedly, this simple action touched Shi Xiaorui's heart. She was stunned for a moment, and her expression softened a lot.
"Qian Yi, I didn't expect that I would be able to see the descendants of the Shi family before I died." Shi Xiaorui's voice was hoarse.
She rolled her eyes and saw nothing.
"Do you still remember me?" Mr. Shi was extremely surprised. "Mao Hai, get me a glass of water."
There was some muffled laughter in Shi Xiaorui's throat, "Looking at you, your father must not have told you what happened back then. Haha, I'm going to die, I can't carry this secret into the coffin. Qian Yi , listen carefully, your father owes me more than one life!"
Perhaps because she was too excited, she coughed violently after speaking.
Chu Yao stepped forward quickly and held Shi Xiaorui's wrist. Shi Xiaorui's body was riddled with wounds from various diseases, and it was difficult for spiritual energy to pass through her meridians.
Her end is indeed approaching. No one wants to be devastated by the disease all the time. For her, isn't this a kind of relief?
No, Chu Yao carefully inspected it for a while, and found that Shi Xiaorui's body... was missing a kidney.
Shi Xiaorui, who was lying on the bed, felt a little lighter both physically and mentally. She even wanted to sit up. She suddenly straightened up, which shocked both Mr. Shi and Shi Maohai.
"Is it okay? Why don't you lie down?" Mr. Shi asked nervously.
"I have been lying underground for more than forty years, and I will be lying underground for eighteen hundred years, not less than this moment."
Chu Yao helped her put a pillow behind her. Shi Xiaorui sighed happily and patted Chu Yao's hand, "Thanks, girl."
"The Shi family is a theater family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, but the descendants become thinner and thinner as you go later. When it comes to my generation, there are only two children left: me and your father."
In the era when Shi Xiaorui was born, few women sang in operas, but she was naturally interested in drama, and her talent was even higher than that of her cousin.
When she was a teenager, she gradually felt that she was already familiar with the Shi family's operas and the Imperial Capital's operas, and there was nothing new, so she began to study in theater troupes in various places.
She learned a lot and miscellaneously, and integrated the singing methods in various plays into a system of her own.
Later, Shi Xiaorui experienced "Nuo opera" in a small town in the southwest.
"There was a family holding a funeral. According to local rules, they had to invite someone to sing a Nuo opera, also called a ghost opera, which is said to be performed for ghosts." Shi Xiaorui recalled, "I only watched it for a few seconds, and I was immediately captivated. I was fascinated, begging Master to take me in.”
Since then, she has not sung other operas, only Nuo operas.
She also wants to bring Nuo opera back to the imperial capital so that people in the imperial capital can see and listen to it. There is not only one singing style in the world.
She followed the troupe and traveled to many places for more than ten years.
Until she received a letter from the Shi family, saying that her cousin was sick and asked her to come back quickly.
Shi Xiaorui and her cousin grew up together, and they were no different from her own brothers. She rushed back to the imperial capital immediately after receiving the letter.
"I still remember that when I walked in, everyone was very polite to me. They had never been so kind to me, because I was a girl and a ghost opera singer, and they all thought I was embarrassed." Shi Xiaorui smiled sarcastically, "When I went back that time, I took out all the rare things at home, including imported sugar and new canned sugar water."
Shi Xiaorui was flattered, and her aunt took off the newly bought watch and put it on her hand.
It wasn't until night that she realized why they seemed to have changed.
Her cousin, the heir of the Shi family, had a swollen face, and his whole body seemed to be coated with black charcoal, but he still staggered and knelt at her feet.
Her aunt and uncle also knelt down and begged her to save their cousin.
"He has uremia. A theater fan asked the hospital to perform a kidney transplant on him. The premise is that there must be a kidney source."
At that time, there were successful cases of organ transplantation, but it was not popular across the country. It was difficult to find a hospital willing to perform kidney transplant surgery. This was an opportunity that the Shi family could not miss.
Everyone in the Shi family went to get a match, but none of them passed. At this time, they thought of Shi Xiaorui.
Fortunately and unfortunately, Shi Xiaorui was a match.
Everyone in the Shi family took turns crying and persuading, saying that people have two kidneys and it would not be a big deal if she lost one, but her cousin would be dead without one of these kidneys.
"They also said that they are not good at singing. Look, they can sing much better than the famous actors in the imperial capital!"
The Shi family pressed harder, and her cousin repeatedly promised that he would take good care of her and treat her as his sister. Her uncle wrote his own will, saying that he would leave all the Shi family's property to her.
Even her biological parents were very sincere and threatened her with severing the relationship. After all, the Shi family relied on her cousin for food.
She is a daughter of a family who has to marry someone else and engage in some feudal and superstitious things. How can she be as dignified as her cousin?
It seems that if she disagrees, she is a sinner who has failed her parents and her ancestors.
Only the doctor who performed the surgery couldn't help but ask her, did she know that kidney transplantation has a great impact on the human body?
Shi Xiaorui didn't speak, but a few tears fell down.
She thought, she knew, but the Shi family did not give her the right to refuse.
