The county horse is a medicine jar

Lin Sishen was in a haze, as if she had a dream. In the dream, she returned to the day of her eighth birthday.

As long as she can remember, the elders in the family have never held a birthday banquet for her, because her birthday is also the death sacrifice of her second elder brother Lin Silue.So every year on her birthday, the general's mansion is completely silent, and no one dares to celebrate her birthday.

Only the grandmother and the wet nurse will remember her on her birthday. The grandmother will send someone to the market to buy some novelty gadgets for her, and the wet nurse will cook a bowl of birthday noodles for her.

On the year of her eighth birthday, Lin Sishen went to Qing Guogong's mansion to attend Qin Hao's birthday banquet. During the banquet, Qin Hao dragged Lin Sishen to run around, went to see the shadow puppet troupe specially invited by the mansion, and posed himself received congratulations.

There are glittering golden locks, colorful beads, finely carved and moving wooden figures, and many beautiful kites.Qin Hao proudly showed off to Lin Sishen that today he is a birthday boy, and no matter what he wants, people in the family will give it to him.

That day, Duke Qing's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and Qin Hao was hugged by Duke Qing while wearing a golden lock, proudly like a bully.The Duke's Mansion was filled with laughter and laughter, and Qin Hao's smug smile was reflected in Lin Sishen's eyes.

She especially liked the shadow puppet troupe invited by the Duke's Mansion. Under the light and shadow, those lifelike villains performed novel and interesting stories one after another, which made everyone laugh out loud.

Lin Sishen felt that such an interesting shadow puppet show, grandma, father, mother and elder brother would also like it. Maybe they would not feel so sad because of second brother after seeing the shadow puppet show on her birthday.

A few days later, it was Lin Sishen's birthday, but that day she caught a cold and was a little sick.But it doesn't matter, she got up early in the morning by herself, folded the quilt and dressed neatly, took the shadow puppet that Qin Hao gave her, breakfast was useless, so she ran excitedly to find it grandmother.

She asks her grandmother to invite the shadow play troupe back when it gets dark, and she doesn't want any other gifts, she just wants to watch a shadow play on her birthday.

Grandma touched her pale little face and looked at her expectant eyes. She couldn't bear it, so she agreed immediately and went to invite the shadow puppet troupe to her house at night.

Lin Sishen was so happy that day, she ran to find Mo Zhu and the nurse, and told them to go to the shadow play together at night.Then he took out the little wooden figure he carved himself, stuck a small note on the back, and secretly put it outside the elder brother's door.

The note is an invitation written by her. She wants to invite her eldest brother to watch a shadow play together.

She hid outside the yard and watched her elder brother open the door and bring the little wooden figure into the house. Then she felt relieved and left bouncing away.

At night, grandma really invited the shadow play troupe, but she and Mo Zhu were the only ones watching the play.

But Lin Sishen looked around absent-mindedly, wondering why her grandmother and father didn't come, she didn't want to watch the shadow puppet show by herself, she wanted to watch it with everyone, she wanted to see her father and elder brother laughing.

When General Lin appeared staggeringly in front of his eyes, Lin Sishen showed joy and hurried towards him.But what greeted her was not General Lin's smiling face, but an angry reprimand and a merciless slap.

"You rebellious son, do you know what day it is today?"

Lin Sishen was blinded by the slap and slap, she stood there blankly, watching General Lin, who smelled of alcohol like an angry leopard, rushed forward and smashed the stage, trampled the shadow puppet under his feet, Throw all the troupe out of the general's mansion.

She stared blankly at everything in front of her, and the warm and shining fire in her heart was completely extinguished by fear and loss.

After smashing the stage to pieces, General Lin still didn't give up. He grabbed the shadow puppet in Lin Sishen's hand, tore it into pieces and threw it on the ground, then crazily grabbed Lin Sishen's shoulder and shook it.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he kept roaring and questioning: "Are you just looking forward to your second brother's death? Are you not sad at all when he dies? Today is his death sacrifice, and you still have the desire to have fun?" Zuo Le, he is your second brother."

General Lin's angry face and resentful questioning in front of him, together with the light, shadow and joyous sound of the Duke's Mansion, appeared in Lin Sishen's eyes and ears. She watched in confusion and fear, her small body kept being violently shaken, Seems like it's about to fall apart.

It wasn't until his grandmother and mother heard the sound that they desperately snatched Lin Sishen away from General Lin, and it wasn't until his grandmother slapped General Lin on the face fiercely that he stopped his drunken madness.

But Lin Sishen's face was already pale, his eyes were staring, his whole body was trembling and he almost passed out.

The mess all over the place and the torn shadow puppets seem to be about to become a nightmare she will never forget.

That night Lin Sishen curled up on the bed alone, she hugged herself tightly, she still didn't understand why her father said she didn't care about her second brother, why her father looked at her with such strange and hateful eyes.

She shed tears silently, and wiped them off silently. She thought aggrievedly, maybe she shouldn't have been born by her mother in the first place, so her father wouldn't hate her so much.

Just as she was hiding under the blanket and hiding inside again, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by the elder brother's voice, who called out in a low and helpless voice: "Shen'er, it's the elder brother."

Lin Sishen poked her head out of the bed and looked towards the door. Before she could open her mouth, a small wooden figure appeared on the paper outside the door, swaying and dancing funny.

Then it was Lin Sitao who shook the villain and squeezed his throat, and asked in a shrill voice: "Did Shen'er fall asleep?"

Lin Sishen smiled through tears, raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears on her face, ran off the bed barefoot and opened the door.

Lin Sitao outside the door was almost skinny, but he still tried his best to smile at Lin Sishen, and called softly: "Shen'er, big brother... I heard that you have been wronged, so I came to see you." you."

As far back as Lin Sishen could remember, this was the first time Lin Sitao had come back to him, and this sentence was also the longest sentence he had ever said to himself.

That night, Lin Sitao stayed in Lin Sishen's room until dawn before leaving. He talked to Lin Sishen about many things, and even mentioned the matter of his second brother Lin Silue.

General Lin has always been brooding over the death of her second brother, and has not put it down for many years. No one in the family dares to mention the second son blatantly. Lin Sishen also knows very little about her second brother, only occasionally hearing about it from her grandmother.

But this time the eldest brother told her many things about the second brother. He said that the second brother is a delicate, intelligent and gentle person, with a good temper like a daughter in a boudoir, and he doesn't seem to get angry.

The second elder brother loves children very much. He was surrounded by urchins on the street and asked for silver taels.

The children in the whole capital love the second brother, and sometimes they even make a special trip to wait outside the general's mansion, waiting for the second brother to go out to buy them candied haws.

The eldest brother said that the second brother was very happy when he learned that his mother was pregnant again. He said that the second brother had always been sure that the unborn child in the mother's womb must be a younger sister.She also kept talking to him, saying that when my sister is born, she should be pampered like a little princess in the palace, and make her the happiest and most carefree little girl in the entire capital.

He even went to the temple to pray for blessings before he set off, not asking for his own safety, but only asking his sister to come to this world safely.

The eldest brother also said that the second brother had counted with him on the last day, saying that his sister should be born soon, but it was a pity that he could not see her appearance when she was born, nor could he reach out to hug her.

Lin Sishen longed for and regretted hearing about the second brother from the elder brother's mouth. It turned out that she sometimes hated and even envied the second brother, who was so looking forward to her birth and loved her so much.

In the dream, Lin Sishen was leaning against his eldest brother, and when the sky gradually brightened, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep with a smile on his lips, but in reality Lin Sishen woke up in a burst of severe pain.

Lin Sishen gasped in a low voice, her aching brain gradually regained her ability to think, she could feel that her eyes were covered by a black cloth, and there seemed to be something sticky and moist in the middle, and the air was filled with a thick and somewhat pungent medicine. fragrant.

It seemed that she was still alive by chance, and those people hadn't killed her yet.

Lin Sishen just wanted to know her current situation, she moved slightly, and found that her hands and legs were tied up, and there was a stabbing pain on her shoulders, which was obviously where she was injured by the man in black before.

Except for the shoulders and the eyes, the rest of the body was intact, but the eyes... She didn't know if she was blind because she couldn't open them.

Lin Sishen tried his best to calm down his shortness of breath, then squeezed his dry lips, and in the darkness, he slowly asked, "Are you there?"

After the words fell, Lin Sishen held her breath and remained motionless, as if she was eagerly waiting for something.

There was silence all around, as if there was no one else but Lin Sishen.

Until Lin Sishen was a little disappointed, a man's low voice suddenly came from not far away: "Are you asking your companions? They are in another room and they are safe and sound for the time being."

Lin Sishen took a deep breath, his voice was hoarse and trembling: "I'm asking you."

In the darkness, the man seemed to move slightly, and there was a slight sound from the corner, but he didn't speak.

Lin Sishen didn't wait for a response, but he didn't give up either. Instead, he asked eagerly, "What's your name, and where are you from?"

The man replied flatly: "Give up, I won't reveal any news to you."

Lin Sishen was silent for a while, and then asked softly, "Then can you tell me, am I blind?"

The man seemed to be hesitant, he walked slowly to Lin Sishen, his eyes flicked across her face, and he said lightly, "Maybe."

Lin Sishen was lying on a wooden bed in the room, his fair face was stained with a little blood.

She looked frail and pale, but she also had a shockingly glamorous feeling. It was a pity that her beautiful eyes were covered by the blood-stained white cloth. If not, she would be so intoxicatingly beautiful.

Sensing someone approaching, the corners of Lin Sishen's lips twitched slightly, her expression became sad, and she murmured, "Do you think you are from Laos?"

The man didn't answer, but just looked at Lin Sishen's face in a daze, with a little daze and thought in his dark and deep eyes.

Lin Sishen ignored whether this person answered him, and murmured to himself: "Have you seen shadow puppetry? I liked shadow puppetry very much when I was young, but since I was eight years old, I have hated shadow puppetry."
