Chapter 11
Although the three went together, they did not return together.On the way, Meng Xiaoshu found an excuse to turn back quietly, bought some pastries with the only money she had on her body, and went to visit the second wife Li who had become a widow. When she returned to Aunt Zhao's house, it was already very late.

Pushing open the door, there was a faint groan from inside, her heart tightened, and she stopped involuntarily.

"Sister, is that you?" Someone asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this voice, a familiar figure flashed in Meng Xiaocom's mind—her younger brother, Meng Wenqing, who was only twelve years old!
After the Meng family fell, Meng Wenqing was assigned to the frontier. Meng Xiaosuo was in a hurry at that time, so how could he take care of him?When I saw it at this moment, I couldn't help but feel warm in my eyes, because the person on the bed was as thin as a skeleton, and the round cheeks were deeply sunken, if Meng Xiaosuo was not his own sister, I'm afraid I won't recognize him for a while.

"Sister, I... I can see you." Meng Wenqing struggled to sit up, she couldn't even breathe well, she just glanced at Meng Xiaosuo, then turned her face away hastily.

"What's wrong?" Meng Xiaocom asked hastily.

"I...I understand that men don't shed tears lightly, but I'm really...really sad." Meng Wenqing's shoulders kept twitching, and her voice became stammered.

Meng Xiaocomo patted his back lightly, feeling a sharp pain in his heart, as if someone was twisting him hard.This younger brother, Meng Wenqing, may be her only relative in this world.

"By the way, Wen Qing, how did you come to Niu Village?" she asked.

"Yes... a thief sent me here." Meng Wenqing said with a sob.

"Thief?" Meng Xiaoshu suddenly felt a little strange, "Why do you know that man is a thief, did he steal in front of you?"

"Not really." Meng Wenqing paused and said, "Because he is always dressed in black and covers his face."

Dressed in black and covering his face...Meng Xiaosuo seemed to have thought of something, but couldn't think clearly, so he hurriedly asked, "Is there something special about whether he is a man or a woman? How did you meet?"

"I didn't meet him until after I was dispatched to the frontier. He killed the officers and soldiers who escorted me. There were a dozen or so people with me, but he only brought me by his side. By the way, sister, how did you get here? Come, is this your current home?"

Meng Xiaosuo smiled wryly and shook her head—home?She has no home.

It seems that Meng Wenqing met a kind-hearted person, and that person knew where he was now, so he sent him here.But, who would that person be?

After thinking about it for a moment, she had a thought, and blurted out a name: "Yun Feitian!"

Fortunately, the voice was not loud, Meng Wenqing couldn't hear it clearly, and thought she was talking to herself.

Yes, it must be that Yun Feitian!Meng Xiaoshu nodded involuntarily, Yun Feitian was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face, he owed something to the Meng family, and Wen Qing was the only blood left in the Meng family.In this way, everything can be explained.

"Where is that man now?" she asked anxiously.

"After sending me here, he disappeared." Meng Wenqing was suddenly a little out of breath, and coughed violently while covering her chest, with a little blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

"Are you sick?" Seeing the bright red, Meng Xiaosuo's heart sank a little.The ancient medical skills were not very good, a small illness could kill a person, let alone this coughing up blood?

"Well, along the way, the thief arrested many doctors to treat me, but none of them treated me well. They all said that this is a terminal illness, and my time is running out." Meng Wenqing grasped the corner of the quilt tightly, and her voice became a little low , "But it doesn't matter, sister, as long as I can live to see you, I will be satisfied."

It was said that Meng Xiaocom only hated that she was a killer in her previous life, not a doctor, and that the old Chinese medicine practitioner used poison all the time, otherwise there might be a glimmer of hope.Her eyes dimmed, she lightly touched Wen Qing's head, suppressed the grief in her heart, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, with my sister here, I will be able to cure you."

"Sister, do you know medical skills?" Meng Wenqing's eyes lit up instantly.He is young, how can he be willing to die?What a joy it would be to recover!
"Yeah." Meng Xiaocom bit her lower lip tightly and nodded. She will go to the town to ask a pharmacist tomorrow. I don't believe this disease can't be cured!Even if she had the cheek to ask Gu Zhiyuan and Duan Tai to borrow money, she would admit it.

"Sister, do you know that you like to bite your lips whenever you are in doubt." Meng Wenqing pulled the corners of her chapped mouth and forced a smile, "At least I can still live to see a relative, this is already ..."

"Shut up!" Meng Xiaoshu interrupted him, his eyes lit up, "Sister will definitely heal you, go to bed earlier, I'll go out first."

"It's so late, where are you going?" Meng Wenqing asked in surprise.

"Go to a friend's place to spend the night. You better cover yourself with a quilt, so you don't catch a cold." Meng Xiaosuo said, walked out of the room, and closed the door.

She understands that men and women have different reasons, even if it is a younger brother, it is a bit weird to sleep together.Right now, I can only go to Li Goudan's to make do with it, and I will go to the town to ask for a doctor tomorrow, but before that, I need to get some money first.

While thinking like this, while walking, an inexplicable feeling suddenly appeared in my heart, as if someone was gently scratching.All of a sudden, a flash of light flashed in my mind - didn't I have Linglong space?As long as you do nine small good deeds, you can awaken any one of the four old men of metal, wood, fire and earth.Old Man Shui is in charge of water, and can conjure a stream out of thin air. As expected, the old man Mu, who is in charge of wood, should be able to conjure medicinal materials to treat Wenqing's illness!

She was overjoyed, squeezed the Linglong pendant on her chest, and entered the Linglong space.

"Little comb girl, you are here, do you bring anything to eat for the old man?" The old man Shui immediately greeted her, and looked her up and down with a smile.

"Stop talking about these gossips. You can see my intentions, so you know that my younger brother is seriously ill. Tell me, how many good deeds do I have to do to wake up Old Man Mu?" Meng Xiaocoma asked anxiously.

The old man Shui, who asked to be ignored, said with a bitter face: "You saved the second brother Li and his wife Li today, which can be regarded as beneficial to the family. Although the second brother Li died, this good deed still counts. Later , you bought pastries and went to visit Mrs. Li, which can be regarded as beneficial to others. After all, you need to do five more small acts of kindness."

"Okay, I see." Meng Xiaoshu suddenly remembered that there was a bag of mung bean cakes in her bosom, which she bought when she went to visit Mrs. Li, so she took it out and handed it to Old Man Shui, "Is this a good deed? "

Old Man Shui unwrapped the greased paper and ate happily, but his tone was grumpy: "Huh, if you want to bribe the old man, let alone the door, you don't even have windows, you should honestly think of other ways! Please don't...don't think about taking this mung bean cake back, the old man has already...already eaten it all!" As he spoke, he hurriedly swallowed the pastry in his mouth, his eyes widened from being choked for a moment.

Seeing his ridiculous appearance, Meng Xiaosuo felt it was very funny, said goodbye, and left Linglong Space, already having an idea in mind.
