Splendid Twins

Boss Si said this impatiently and went back to his room. Mrs. Si lost her voice as if someone had suddenly strangled her throat. She drooped her shoulders and walked heavily, with her whole body hunched. Wang was secretly delighted at the sight of the old woman being so fierce in front of her. She was expecting the old woman to beg her in the future!

Inside the room, old man Si was lying on the bed, skinny and crying. He had been trying to be tough all his life, but in the end, he ended up like this!

He suffered a lot of humiliation during this period. His wife would secretly strangle him at night and feed him only a few mouthfuls of porridge a day to keep him alive. She would not change the bed sheet even when it was soaked, and her lower body was almost soaked...

Just because he is paralyzed and can't move, it doesn't mean he has no feelings!

When Mrs. Si entered the room, she saw the old man crying, and walked over to him and cursed in a low voice:

"It's all your fault, old donkey. It doesn't matter if you get paralyzed or die, but you can't implicate me!"

"You have done all kinds of evil things, and now the retribution has come. You must die to offset the debt of sin. You have ruined my grandson's future for nothing!"

Old Man Si has long been numb to these words. He has experienced the coldness of human nature. Since Yao Ge'er, whom he treats like a treasure, has been paralyzed in bed, he has not come to visit him even once. His heart is chilled...

The clouds in the sky are thick and low, as if a heavy snow is brewing. There is a cool breath in the air, which makes people feel a little chilly. The mountains in the distance are covered with a thin layer of white, as if a heavy snow is coming.

The wind began to become a little biting, bringing a hint of coolness when blowing across the cheeks. Pedestrians on the road quickened their pace, as if they were racing against the coming heavy snow.

Si Yao heard the noise and opened the door, and saw Wang Dahu and Si Yang coming back carrying a wild boar, Xiao Huzi and Xiao Shitou carrying a few pheasants, and even Si Yu running behind with a rabbit in his arms.

"It's been quite rewarding."

"Yaoyao, I've learned a lot today."

In the past, the only people who bothered Wang Dahu were Xiao Huzi and Xiao Shitou. Now there was also Si Yang. Wang Dahu was annoyed by all the three boys. Si Yao saw Si Yang's intention and took the time to ask Wang Dahu:

"How is my second brother?"

"How about what?"

Wang Dahu was startled, and Si Yao curled her lips slightly:

"Can't you see? He likes your... martial arts."

Si Yao's heavy breathing made Wang Dahu laugh and cry. He restrained his smile and said seriously:

"I said, if you want to learn, you have to persevere to the end!"

"I will! I swear on my life that I will never give up halfway!"

Si Yang rushed out from the side, followed by Xiao Shitou and Xiao Huzi, who also took the opportunity to express their opinions:

"Brother, we will work hard and will never embarrass you!"

"Brother, we didn't eavesdrop on your conversation with Sister Yao. It was just a coincidence. Since we ran into each other, it means that the three of us are destined to meet..."

At the end, Xiao Shitou felt embarrassed to continue talking. If he made his elder brother angry, he would get beaten.

Wang Dahu saw that the three people had clear attitudes and serious expressions, and Si Yao was watching the fun, so he made up his mind:

"Okay, let's lay the foundation first. As for how far you can go, it all depends on your own understanding. When you are done, go to the wall and squat for half an incense stick so that I can see your foundation."

The three of them were instantly delighted, and excitedly rushed in to help Si Lao Er with his work. After they left, Wang Dahu stared at Si Yao with amusement:

"Why don't you teach your second brother?"

Si Yao turned around pretending to be arrogant and said: "Don't mind my business."

Wang Dahu thought she was joking with him. He chuckled and lowered his head to clean up the game in his hand.

Si Yao turned her head and her face faded. The more she exposed, the more difficult it would be to explain in the future. She had just arrived here and she carried a wild boar back to sell it at a low price. Now thinking about it, it was a bit too ostentatious.

At that time, she wanted to leave a good impression on the villagers first, so that if something happened, she would have public opinion and favor. In addition, she felt a little guilty about changing the feng shui...

Nowadays, the village is very lively all day long. Aunt Huang joins other women in the village to fry melon seeds. On a sudden impulse, she has the idea to fry peanuts, beans, and wild chestnuts and sell them. They taste surprisingly fragrant when they are out of the pot. Other aunts and women follow Aunt Liu to pickle vegetables and mix cold dishes. Two days ago, she heard from her father that both melon seeds and cold dishes are selling very well. Several aunts even discussed expanding the business to the next town.

Nowadays, when you go out to the village, you basically won’t see any idle women sitting around chatting gossip. The women who make money are full of energy, with happy smiles on their faces. They are also more confident and speak louder at home.

Si Yao changed the feng shui of Sijia Village, so any small business could make money. Although he couldn't get rich overnight, he could still have extra money and food at home.

In the kitchen, Liu Niang was preparing dinner, and Hongying was helping to wash the vegetables. Xiaoya liked the hustle and bustle of this kind, and squatted in front of the stove to light the fire. When Si Yao came in, she saw Liu Niang cutting a piece of sausage to feed Xiaoya. Naturally, Hongying beside her didn't miss it either, and laughed and joked:

"Mom, is there anything for me?"

"Yes, yes. No one can live without you."

Liu Niang cut a piece and fed it to Si Yao. The sausage tasted really good. It was worth it that she added seasonings to the minced meat without her mother's knowledge. It was chewy and smelled of oil. Si Yao picked up another piece and threw it into her mouth.

While cutting, Liu Niang said, "I don't know if Ling Feng has arrived yet. Will your foster brother dislike him..."

"Don't worry about it. If he doesn't want to eat it, it's okay to give it to others."

Si Yao spoke in a light tone. Ling Feng, who was mentioned, had just arrived at the border exhausted.

On the way, he heard that the barbarians had gathered a large army and were slaughtering civilians on the border. He also heard that a general was almost killed. He was so frightened that he ran day and night and killed two of his horses before he arrived. As soon as he entered the military camp, he ran to Zhou Yu's tent, but there was no one inside?

Ling Feng's face suddenly darkened. He turned around and walked a few steps. Unexpectedly, he saw Zhou Yu coming back. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him:

"My Lord, are you okay?"

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said sullenly:

"Have everything been delivered?"

"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission. The girl has brought you some things."

Zhou Yu was in no mood to ask more questions at the moment, and his face was a little depressed. Ling Feng had been with him since childhood, so he asked directly:

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Yu entered the tent and sat upstairs, sighing:

"The Western Rong have been making provocations repeatedly recently. When I led my troops to pacify them, I was outnumbered. At the critical moment, the general showed up and blocked the knife for me. I didn't expect that the blade was coated with poison. Now he is in a coma and the military doctor is helpless..."

Ling Feng's face turned pale when he heard such a thrilling thing. If anything happened to the prince, the only fate of their personal guards would be death!

Suddenly she thought of something and said, "My Lord, the young lady brought you some ointment. Would you like to take a look?"

Zhou Yu was annoyed and just nodded: "Bring it here and have a look."

Ling Feng turned around and went out, and soon came back with a box in his hand. Zhou Yu opened it with little interest. He was a little surprised at first, but then he was shocked when he saw a medicine bottle inside. He stood up and walked out with the whole box.

Arriving at the general's tent, the knife-wielding guard outside came over:

"What is this, my Lord?"

"Ling Feng just came back from Shangjing. This prince has a few medicines that he wants to take to the military doctor for a look."

Ling Feng held the rank of captain in the army, and he was also the personal guard of the young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. The guards trusted his identity and made way for him.

The highest-ranking old military doctor in the army has not slept for several days. If the general doesn't wake him up, his old bones will die!

Zhou Yu went in and quietly walked over to him and handed the box over:

"Take a look at these medicines. Are there any that can be used?"

The old military doctor took it with a serious expression, and his face changed suddenly as he looked at the bottle one by one. The cold atmosphere made Zhou Yu nervous as well.
