‘My good Chenchen.” Ji Zhao smiled. ‘Sister didn’t cry.”
‘Your eyes are red,” Ji Chen pointed at her eyes and whispered.
Ji Zhao couldn’t help but curl her lips as she said in a low voice, “Perhaps the sand has blinded my eyes?
Ji Chen did not say anything else, but his eyes were still filled with worry as he looked at Ji Zhao.
Ji Zhao leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.
Earlier, in front of the old man’s grave, she suddenly felt very depressed.
If she was not wrong, that sudden sadness should be the true feelings hidden in the Host’s heart, right?
After all, the Host’s life was too tragic and dark, but Old Master Ji was a glimmer of light that shone into the Host’s tragic and dark life.
When the carriage stopped again, they had already arrived at the Earth Temple.
During the Laba Festival, Shen Dashan made the decision to let the craftsmen take a break and start work after the Lantern Festival.
However, the Earth God in front of him was completely different from before.
The main hall with the statue of the Earth God had already been repaired.
Ji Zhao piously knelt in front of the statue of the Earth God and seriously kowtowed three times.
‘Earth God, please forgive me. I’ve been too busy recently and couldn’t come to pay my respects to you often.” Ji Zhao immediately took out a plate of Dongpo pork and two pastries from the basket behind her and placed them on the shrine platform. “A few days ago, my family had the annual pig slaughter, so I specially left the fattest piece of pork for you to try!”
‘After the new year, I will continue to earn money and strive to mold a golden body for you as soon as possible!”
When the three of them returned to the Shen family’s courtyard, it was already late.
Ji Zhao, who was about to go to the kitchen to make dinner, was chased out by Zhao Lanhua.
‘Girl, you’ve been busy all day. Aren’t you tired? Go back to your room and rest.
I’ll call you when I’m done cooking dinner!”
‘Mother, I’m really not tired. Can I help?”
‘Go back to your room. Third Brother is still waiting for you!’
Helpless, Ji Zhao could only turn around and return to her room.
When she walked into the back room, her eyes widened in surprise.
Her hands could not help but cover her mouth, her face filled with disbelief!
Because she saw—
Shen Yao held onto the bed and stood up!
‘You…”
‘Ah Tao?” Shen Yao looked at the expression on her face and smiled gently. Then, he walked towards her step by step!
‘Ah Tao, you’re back.” Shen Yao placed his hand on her shoulder and helped her sweep away the snowflakes on her shoulder.
‘Shen Yao, you can stand up? No, you can walk? No, how can you walk? Didn’t Master say that you can only walk slowly after the 15th?”
The excited Ji Zhao was already incoherent!
“I just wanted to give it a try. I didn’t expect to be able to walk so quickly.” Shen Yao looked down at her and said gently, “I think Ah Tao must have passed on her good luck to me, right?”
‘This is great!” Ji Zhao smiled brightly at him, but her eyes were clearly sparkling with tears.
Shen Yao’s heart ached as he wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Just as he was about to kiss her lips, Ji Zhao suddenly squatted down—
“I have to see if the wound on your knee has healed. Also, we have to observe if there are any signs of bleeding on this bandage!’
Shen Yao, who missed, suddenly felt a little disappointed.
‘Master has already instructed that even if you can stand up, you can’t be too anxious. Shen Yao, lie back down first!” Ji Zhao helped him to the bed and forced him to lie down. “Quick, lie down!”
Shen Yao did as he was told and held his forehead helplessly.
‘Ah Tao, you really don’t have to be so nervous. I’ll be fine.”
If he wasn’t completely confident, how would he dare to stand up?
Actually, two days ago, when Ah Tao was not in the house, he could already stand up. He originally wanted to give her a surprise today, but now it seemed that she was more frightened?
At this moment, Ji Zhao had already rolled up the bottom of his pants and was carefully examining the bandage.
After confirming that there was no blood on the bandage, Ji Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.
‘Thank god!”
‘Ah Tao, don’t be so nervous.” Seeing the sweat on her forehead, Shen Yao’s heart ached even more.
He quickly raised his hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead.
‘How can I not be nervous!” Ji Zhao pouted angrily and said, “You really scared me just now. It wasn’t easy for Master to cure your leg injury…
‘Silly Ah Tao.” Shen Yao suddenly pinched her cheek. His gentle tone was filled with gentleness. He suddenly approached her and kissed her lips gently. ‘Chenchen said that you’re not happy today?”
‘Yes.” Ji Zhao leaned into his arms and gently closed her eyes. Her voice was even more muffled. “When I paid my respects to Grandfather, I felt a little sad.”
Shen Yao’s palm gently stroked her soft hair, silently comforting her.
For some reason, as long as she lay in Shen Yao’s arms, Ji Zhao’s emotions would miraculously calm down.
In the end, she actually fell asleep—
However, in her sleep, she had another strange dream.
When she brought Ji Chen back to Pomegranate Village to deal with the Ji family’s fields, Ji Huai actually appeared again!
He even said that Chenchen was a bastard and that Chenchen was not a child of the Ji family at all!
What was worse was that they actually kidnapped Chenchen and threw him into a deserted mountain pass.
Everyone in the Shen family, including the entire Shanghe Village, had gone to look for him. Unfortunately, they could not find Chenchen even after searching the entire Jiming Mountain.
They also heard the howling of wild wolves on the mountain!
‘Ah Tao, your brother must have been eaten by a wild wolf, right?”
‘That’s right, Ah Tao. The villagers have been searching for a day and night, but they haven’t found your brother!”
“1n this deep mountain, there are many wolves, tigers, and leopards. Perhaps your brother has already…” ‘Ah Tao, my condolences!”
No!!!
Ah Tao shouted at the top of her lungs and suddenly sat up on the bed!
“What’s wrong?” Shen Yao, who was reading, was also shocked by Ji Zhao’s commotion.
‘Shen Yao, Ji Zhao was about to speak when she felt a sharp pain in her throat. It was so painful that she kept coughing and saw stars!
Shen Yao hurriedly handed her the tea on the table beside him. “Don’t be anxious. Drink some water to moisten your throat first.”
Ji Zhao held the cup of tea and took a sip.
However, the hands holding the teacup were still trembling uncontrollably! ‘Did you have another nightmare?” Shen Yao asked softly as he wiped her sweat.
‘Mm.” Ji Zhao weakly closed her eyes and gently nodded.
The reason why she cried out in surprise just now was because a skeleton that had been eaten by a jackal flashed in front of her—
