Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 141 Shen Li's Reflection

Zhang and a group of female relatives from the old house were busy in the Shen family's kitchen, like a group of tireless bees.

The fire in the stove was burning fiercely, like a galloping fire dragon, constantly licking the bottom of the pot, boiling the pots of water.

The steaming hot air filled the entire room, swirling like a veil, making everyone's faces red, just like ripe apples.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the women, but they had no time to wipe them off and never stopped working for a moment.

Some were chopping vegetables, the knives making rhythmic sounds against the chopping boards;

Some were washing dishes, the water running loudly;

Some of them helped pass things around and gave instructions from time to time. The whole kitchen was bustling yet orderly.

Lin and Liu Ruoxi were also busy, having been making careful preparations in front of the stove they had set up a few days ago.

The steamers were stacked high on the stove, and white flour buns were being steamed inside. The buns gradually expanded in the steamers, emitting an enticing wheat aroma.

White rice is cooking in the pot, and the rice grains are rolling and jumping in the water like a group of cheerful elves.

As time goes by, the aroma of wheat and rice gradually spreads, like invisible silk threads, pulling people's sense of smell, foreshadowing the lively banquet that is about to begin.

Shen Li hurried into Shen Xuan's room. Her steps were quick and flustered, as if something urgent had happened.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the young man still lying unconscious on the bed. His face was a little pale and his brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was enduring pain in his dream.

Shen Li's heart suddenly tightened, and she hurriedly took out a bowl of water from the space. The bowl of water swayed slightly in her hand, flashing with strange light.

She carefully helped the boy up. The boy's body was a little heavy. She gritted her teeth, helped him up a little, and then slowly fed the water into his mouth. She stared at the corners of the boy's mouth, watching the water flow in through the corners of the boy's mouth. Only then did she feel relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, ever since Shen Li learned about the wonders of the spiritual spring, she would secretly transfer some spiritual spring water into her own water tank every now and then, hoping to slowly improve the physical fitness of her family members.

Every time she crossed the water, she was extremely careful, fearing that she would be discovered.

She would sneak to the water tank in the dead of night when everyone was asleep and slowly pour the spiritual spring water into it.

She was also thinking that once the physical fitness of her family members improved, she could arrange for everyone to take the "Bone Purification Pill".

In her eyes, the "Bone Purifying Pill" is the key to improving the strength of her family.

It was a pity that last time her father took the "Bone Purifying Pill", he fainted from the pain. The painful look on his face was deeply imprinted in her mind and scared the whole family. Since then, she never dared to mention it again.

Her heart was filled with guilt and helplessness, and she felt that it was her recklessness that had harmed her father.

Shen Li waited by the bed for a long time, but the boy still showed no signs of waking up.

There was a hint of anxiety and disappointment in her eyes, and she sighed helplessly, and the sigh echoed in the silent room.

She gently pushed open the door, which made a slight creaking sound, and walked towards the yard.

As soon as he went out, his eyes lit up. It turned out that he saw Shen Xuan standing in the yard.

Shen Xuan stood in the middle of the yard, looking up at the sky, as if thinking about something.

She hurriedly waved to Shen Xuan, waving her arms in the air.

Shen Xuan came over with a puzzled look on his face. His brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with confusion. He asked, "Sister, what's the matter?"

Shen Li pointed to the house and said, "I found an injured little brother on the mountain and temporarily placed him in your house. Go in and keep an eye on him. He is still unconscious!"

Her voice was filled with anxiety and worry.

When Shen Xuan heard this, his eyes widened, his eyes full of surprise and panic, and he said in surprise: "Sister, he is injured, why don't you take him to see a doctor?

And how can you just bring a stranger home? What if something goes wrong?

He spoke very quickly, like a machine gun, and his words were filled with fear of unknown dangers.

When Shen Li heard his brother's series of questions, he was stunned for a moment, and then began to seriously reflect on himself.

A hint of regret flashed through her eyes as she thought to herself, "I think I've been too naive. I've always acted on my own whims, self-righteously believing that this is the right thing to do, without ever considering how this might actually put our family in danger."

She frowned in frustration, a deep furrow forming between her brows. After thinking for a long time, she said with a guilty look on her face, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. I didn't think much about it at the time. I just saw that he was injured in the mountains and felt sorry for him, so I brought him back in a fit of rage..."

Her voice became lower and lower, like a child who had done something wrong admitting her mistake.

Shen Xuan looked at his sister's annoyed look, and suddenly felt a little sorry. He hurried forward to hold Shen Li's hand. His hand tightly held Shen Li's hand, conveying warmth and comfort, and hurriedly said: "Sister, I don't mean to blame you. I'm just worried about this person with unknown origins and unclear background. If he has bad intentions, it will bring great harm to our family. I am also thinking about our family."

His eyes were filled with sincerity and honesty, leaving no room for doubt about his intentions.

Shen Li was deeply moved after hearing what her brother said. She looked at his sincere expression, nodded seriously, and said, "I know you are doing this for the good of the family. I promise you that I will never pick up random people and bring them home again.

As for this young man, now that he's been brought back, you can decide how to deal with him. I'll do whatever you say."

There was a hint of trust and dependence in her eyes, as if at this moment, she had given all decision-making power to her brother.

Just as the two were talking, a voice as soft as the breeze suddenly came from behind them, "Sister,"

The voice seemed to carry a bit of curiosity and some doubt, and it echoed slowly in the quiet courtyard.

Shen Li and Shen Xuan were both stunned and quickly turned around to see who the owner of the voice was.

Their eyes were filled with anticipation and curiosity, and their bodies unconsciously tensed up, not knowing what kind of people and stories were hidden behind the voice.
