Chapter 89: Waking Up (Two Chapters in One)

The two strong men who were digging had never seen Xiaoguai, let alone knew that it was raised by Zhao Shiqing. When they saw Xiaoguai pecking at the ground, they picked up shovels and tried to drive it away.

Although Xiaoguai has not yet grown to full size, he is still an eagle. The two strong men are afraid of him, but now Zhao Shiqing and Xiao Zhen are right next to them, so they can't let the eagle cause trouble.

But before the shovels in their hands touched Xiaoguai's feathers, they heard Xiao Zhen yelling, "Stop!"

Xiao Zhen is Zhen Wuduo's most valued son and is equivalent to the young master in the eyes of these two people. When Xiao Zhen opened his mouth, the shovels in the hands of the two people stopped in the air.

Zhao Shiqing trotted over and said to Xiaoguai, "I know, come over here."

When Xiaoguai saw Zhao Shiqing coming, he stopped pecking the ground, flew over obediently, and landed on Zhao Shiqing's shoulder.

It was not until then that the two sturdy men realized that the eagle actually belonged to their Miss Sun. Oh my God, it was a good thing that the shovel was not swung down just now, otherwise it would be hard to say whether the head would still be in their cavity.

After all, they themselves know best what kind of person their Old Master Zhen is.

Xiaoguai stood on Zhao Shiqing's shoulder and suddenly chirped a few times. Everyone didn't understand what was going on, but Zhao Shiqing's expression had changed.

She patted Xiaoguai's paws. Xiaoguai received the command, flapped his wings, flew up, and landed on a tree.

However, Zhao Shiqing snatched the shovel from a strong man and started digging silently.

The two strong men hurriedly said, "Miss Sun, don't get tired, let us do the digging."

Zhao Shiqing suddenly shouted, "Go away!"

Everyone was shocked. You know, Zhao Shiqing usually gave people the impression of being a smiling girl. Although she was a little mischievous, she had a gentle personality. Even Ling Bo saw Zhao Shiqing like this for the first time.

Xiao Zhen made a gesture to silence everyone, indicating that everyone should not disturb Zhao Shiqing.

Although he couldn't understand Xiaoguai's bird language, he had guessed what was buried under the soil from Zhao Shiqing's behavior.

He sighed silently in his heart. The thing he least wanted to happen finally happened.

Perhaps, when little Zhao Shiqing was living with wild dogs in the bamboo forest, he was not lost, but escaped death!

Suddenly, Zhao Shiqing, who was digging the soil, stopped. The next moment, she threw down the shovel, knelt on the ground, dug the ground with her hands, and scooped out handfuls of soil.

Xiao Zhen took two steps forward, his heart sinking suddenly.
He didn't say anything, took out a white jade bottle from the deerskin bag, opened the lid, flashed in front of Zhao Shiqing, and bowed.

Zhao Shiqing felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and found someone coming in front of her: "Get lost"

Zhao Shiqing's pupils shrank into two cold stars because of extreme grief. She was in a state of confusion at this moment. Even though her sense of smell was different from that of ordinary people, she did not feel the powder bouncing towards her nose at all, nor did she realize that Xiao Zhen's other hand had already clasped the Shenmen acupoint on her wrist.

"excuse me."

When Xiao Zhen's voice sounded, the bitterness of storax mixed with the spiciness of datura exploded in her throat. Zhao Shiqing's eyes were in chaos. In her last bit of consciousness, she vaguely heard Xiao Zhen say in her ear: "Have a good sleep, tomorrow will be another sunny day."

Zhao Shiqing did not sleep well. It was pitch black in her dream and she seemed to be underground. She cried and tried to crawl out. The air became thinner and thinner, and mud poured into her nose and mouth. Gradually, she could no longer make any sound, but her little hands were still struggling desperately.

Suddenly, she heard panting and the sound of claws scratching the soil. She heard them talking. Yes, she could understand their voices. They were looking for food.

She wanted to call them for help, but she could no longer make a sound and she had lost consciousness.

She woke up in pain. It was still pitch black around her, but she knew she was no longer in the same place. Her body was in pain and her nose felt blocked, so she blew out air with force, and the dirt that had filled her nostrils came out. But her body hurt even more. She took a deep breath, and for the first time she realized that air could be delicious.

She heard their voices again. They were a group of dogs. It was these dogs that rescued her.

She spat out the dirt in her mouth and felt a sharp pain in her body. She started crying in pain. She wanted to go home, she wanted to find her mother and grandmother. She was in so much pain and so scared.

At this moment, she heard the sound of horse hooves and she became even more frightened. This was the first time she left home alone and she could not see anything. The next moment, she was picked up by someone and put on the horse's back. The man was very strong and pulled her broken ribs. She fainted from the pain.

When she woke up again, she heard a strange voice: "Don't cry, don't cry, drink this bowl of medicine, and you won't feel any pain."

Although the voice sounded kind, she sensed danger. She refused to drink the medicine, but her mouth was pried open anyway. The sweet potion was poured into her mouth, and she lost consciousness again.

When she woke up for the fourth time, she was on a moving mule cart. She heard the mule pulling the cart greet a donkey: "Where are you going? Hejian Prefecture or Baoding Prefecture?"

The donkey was so angry that he yelled, "You damned mule who will end your offspring!"

She wanted to ask the mule where this place was.

But just as she made a sound, she heard someone say viciously: "How did the dead hoof wake up? Fortunately, I asked the doctor for some medicine."

Before she could understand what was going on, she was forced to drink another bowl of medicine.

When she woke up for the fifth time, everything was smelly. She heard a child crying, and another child was whispering to him, "Don't cry. It's useless. If the old beggar hears you, he will not give you food again."

"But I want to go home, woo woo woo."

"I don't want to go home. I don't have a home anymore. My father died a long time ago, and then my mother died too. Before she died, my mother entrusted me to my uncle, but my uncle sold me just after the seventh day after my mother's death."

"Wow, wow, I was sold by my uncle. He said I was disabled and it would be better to raise a pig than to raise me. The pig can be slaughtered and eaten. But I still want to go home. I don't want to stay here. Wow."

She listened to the children's conversation in a daze. One of the two children was sold by her uncle, and the other was sold by her eldest uncle. She was with them. Was she also sold? Then who sold her?
She tried hard to recall, but she couldn't remember anything.

Another wave of pain came and she fell into unconsciousness again.

When she woke up for the sixth time, she heard a deep voice saying, "Take them away, take all these children away!"

"Your Majesty, look at this child."

"What's wrong?" said the deep voice.

"You'd better take a look," said another.

She felt someone with a faint pine scent approaching her, and then a big hand fell on her face: "Aying? Aying?"

"Your Majesty, this is not the little princess. She just looks a bit like the little princess." "I know, you don't need to say anything. Take all these children back to the palace."

"Father!"

Zhao Shiqing suddenly opened his eyes. The pain in his body disappeared, the darkness disappeared, and what filled his eyes was a blinding brightness.

So bright!

In a trance, Zhao Shiqing seemed to go back to ten years ago, when her nine-year-old sister took off the medicine bag on her eyes with her own hands. She slowly opened her eyes, but closed them the next moment. It was too bright, making her dizzy.

"Doctor Han, why did the little sister close her eyes again?"

"It's okay, let's lower the curtains and let her get used to it first."

After a long while, Doctor Han's voice sounded again: "Good boy, try to open your eyes again."

She plucked up her courage and opened her eyes again. What she saw was a round and bright little face, looking at her with a smile.

"Little sister, can you see me?"

She nodded: "I remember your voice, you are my sister."

"And me, do you know who I am?"

A little boy with very fair skin came over. Zhao Shiqing had never heard of his voice, but she could guess who he was. The prince father had said that she had two brothers, one in the capital and the other in the palace. When her eyes were healed, she would be able to see her little brother.

"You are the second brother!" she said sweetly.

The second brother grinned and said, "Big sister, I am really smart."

The second brother stuffed a bag of candy into her hand and said, "Little sister, I heard from my elder sister that you don't remember where your home is. It doesn't matter. This will be your home from now on. We are all your relatives."

Zhao Shiqing nodded vigorously and she also smiled, very happily.

She didn't remember who she was, where her home was, and she didn't even remember that she had parents or a grandmother.

Yes, she didn't remember anything, and since she didn't remember anything, she wasn't sad. She lived a heartless life for ten whole years, until that day in the capital, when Lingbo bought two flowered clothes. She said that there was no such flowered cloth in Liang. Lingbo said that it came from Wu, where every household weaved cloth. At that moment, she suddenly felt that what Lingbo said was familiar, and she even knew the sound of a loom.

When she was free, she suddenly thought, could she be from Wu?
There were clearly no looms in the palace and in Baihe Village. There might be looms in Liangdi, but she had definitely never seen one. If she had never seen one, why did she know the sound of a loom?

But this was just an occasional thought. Like all orphans, she had fantasized about her biological parents, but it was just a fantasy. She had a father who loved her, sisters and brothers who doted on her, and a master who was both her teacher and friend. Every day of her life was fulfilling, and she had no lack of love, so she had no desire to find her biological parents.

There was no maternal love in her memory, so even though Nie was indifferent to her, she was content with it, until that day when she had a falling out with Nie. She felt wronged, extremely wronged, and suddenly wanted to go to Wu. She wanted to find her relatives. She wanted to know if her family had looked for her. She even thought that she, like the two little brothers, was sold by her relatives.

Although she was still very happy along the way, she was also a little worried privately. She was worried that she was really abandoned by her family. After all, she was once a blind person.

But all her anxieties disappeared after she came to Zhuxitang and learned that she was the daughter of the Shi family and that she had parents and a grandmother who loved her.

Although she knew that her family, who loved her so much, would never let her leave home alone, she still wished that they were still alive in this world.

But visions are always just visions, the truth comes too fast!
the truth?

Yes, the truth!
Everything before she fell into a coma was still fresh in Zhao Shiqing's mind. She regained consciousness completely. She jumped out of bed without even putting on her shoes. Ling Bo was just coming in from outside. She bumped into Zhao Shiqing who was running out. She grabbed her and wrapped her up in a cloak.

"Second Miss, it's okay. Old Master Zhen and Master Zhen have already made arrangements."

"Arrangements? Arrangements for what?" Zhao Shiqing asked. She didn't know what happened while she was sleeping.

Ling Bo pushed her back to the bed and said, "After Master Zhen knocked you out yesterday, he asked me to carry you back. He personally dug out the bodies of the master, his wife, and the old lady."

Zhao Shiqing subconsciously covered her mouth, and big tears flowed down her cheeks.

She motioned for Ling Bo to continue.

Ling Bo said: "Old Master Zhen asked someone to go to the county government to invite a coroner. The coroner examined the bodies and said that the necks of the four people were broken."

It was too cruel. Ling Bo was worried that Zhao Shiqing couldn't bear it, so he didn't dare to continue.

Zhao Shiqing frowned: "Four people? Four bodies were dug out?"

Ling Bo nodded: "Yes, there are four bodies, two men and two women."

Zhao Shiqing understood: "Besides the three people in my family, the other body is that of Doctor Yang, right?"

"Yes, that's what Old Master Zhen and Master Zhen said. Oh, Old Master Zhen also said that this Doctor Yang is most likely an imperial physician, but he kept it a secret, even from the people in the county government."

"Imperial Physician? Doctor Yang is the Imperial Physician?"

The doctors in the palace were also imperial physicians sent from the Imperial Medical Bureau in the capital. From childhood to adulthood, all the doctors Zhao Shiqing had seen were imperial physicians, but she never dreamed that the doctor living in the Shi family was also an imperial physician.

"Is that what my grandfather said?" Zhao Shiqing asked.

Ling Bo said: "Yesterday when we followed Lu Niu'er out of the village, Old Master Zhen continued to ask those aunts and grandmas for information. After summarizing the information he got, he concluded that Doctor Yang was most likely the imperial physician.

He must have offended someone in the capital, which is why he quit being an imperial physician.

And don’t you also remember that the old lady said that Doctor Yang was going to the capital?

Old Master Zhen guessed that some important person in the capital must be ill, so he asked Doctor Yang to go to the capital to treat the disease, and that disease must be treated by Doctor Yang. "

Zhao Shiqing touched his eyes subconsciously: "Eye disease? Oh, yes, my eyes were actually cured by Doctor Yang. No wonder Doctor Han said that he couldn't take credit for it and said that my eyes were fine. But the villagers clearly said that I had seen many famous doctors but none of them could cure my eyes. I remember that grandma didn't let me touch my eyes and said that I could get a medicine bag in two or three days. Doctor Yang cured my eyes, but an accident happened later and the treatment was delayed, so I can't recover my sight for the time being."

Ling Bo said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, Old Master Zhen also said that, and that grandma Shuanzi said that, she said that Doctor Yang treated your eyes in order to repay his kindness."

Zhao Shiqing asked again: "Where are my parents and grandma? Where are they now?"

Ling Bo carefully observed her expression and saw that she was much calmer than when she found the bodies yesterday. Then he said, "The bodies of the old lady, the master, and the mistress have been put in the coffin. Now a mourning tent has been set up outside and the funeral is being arranged."
