A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 7 Dreaming of My Brother Being Poisoned

The houses on the mountain have been built, and the workers have moved in. Now they can eat hot meals. Everyone praises Qiqi for being smart and cute, and the old boss's family for being kind. They all work wholeheartedly, and it doesn't matter if they are tired or suffer a little, as they all want to repay the Jiang family's kindness.

It's Chinese New Year, and every household is putting up Spring Festival couplets. My fifth and sixth brothers have returned from school. Yunfeng is writing couplets, Yunlei is hanging red lanterns, and even the Zhao family is busy. Qiqi runs around, looking around, chewing on a red apple. Firecrackers are set off in the evening. The fireworks Qiqi taught Xiao Si to make are particularly beautiful. Xiaobai, afraid of the sound, hides in Qiqi's room and refuses to come out. Qiqi sees Xiaobai and sends her to her space.

On the night of the 30th, two tables were set up for the feast: one for the Jiang family and one for the servants. The old butler was invited to the family table. He had worked for the Jiang family since Qiqi's grandfather was still alive, dedicating his life to the family and raising Jiang Qiqi and the others as if they were his own grandchildren. Qiqi called him Grandpa every day she saw him. Jiang Shuo'an, Zhao, and the children all respected him. The old butler's eyes were filled with tears of gratitude.

Dad, mom and brothers all stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year. Qiqi went back to her room to sleep because she was tired. In her dream, she saw many people grabbing supplies, fighting with swords. She could see her brothers also joined the fight. The brothers took the supplies and retreated while fighting. Some people took the food and left first, and the brothers stayed behind. There were so many people grabbing the food that one of them shot at Jiang Yunyue with a bow. Jiang Yunyue was fighting with someone and didn't see the arrow coming. Jiang Yuntian threw himself on his brother, and the arrow shot Jiang Yuntian in the back with a "puff". Jiang Yuntian fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of black blood. Jiang Yunyue chopped the opponent fiercely and picked up the big one. Brother, protect the eldest brother. The bows and arrows are poisonous. The brothers are anxious and try their best to kill the enemy and protect the eldest brother in the middle. At this time, there are waves of horse hooves. A pair of Zhou Kingdom merchant caravans pass by here. The leader is a heroic woman. Seeing that many people are snatching food from their own country's soldiers, she commands them to join the battle. With the help of the caravan, the enemy sees that they can't grab food and many people are killed and injured. With a whistle, they retreat. Jiang Yuntian fainted in Yunyue's arms. The team doctor hurried over to treat him. There is no way to cure the poisoning. At this time, the leading woman came over and took out a small bottle from her arms. She poured out a pill from it. This is an antidote that can temporarily suppress the toxicity. Find a doctor as soon as possible to see what poison he has been poisoned with and prepare an antidote as soon as possible.

Qiqi suddenly woke up, tears streaming down her face. Big brother had been poisoned. What should she do? As dawn approached, Qiqi quickly put on the clothes her mother had made for her and clattered to her sixth brother's room, telling him about her dream. Yunfeng, terrified, took Qiqi to Yunlei, who hadn't slept all night and was getting dressed, wanting to wish his parents a happy new year. Seeing Qiqi, she asked, "Why so early?" Instead of saying "Happy New Year," she simply recounted her dream. She wondered if her brother had been poisoned. The three siblings were deeply worried, but they preferred to believe it. They agreed not to tell their parents, lest they worry. They were to greet them without revealing any clues. Next year, Yunfeng and I would visit the border, and Qiqi must come along. She said she had the antidote. They could also bring the diamond arrowheads to their uncle to avenge their brothers. They also had to take the Sanqi powder with them for the wounded soldiers. The brothers disagreed, so Qiqi had to take them into the space. Yunlei and Yunfeng were stunned. There was a medical station, a Chinese medicine garden, an orchard, and a pool of spiritual spring water. She told her brothers that the water they drank at home was made with spiritual spring water. No one in the family had been sick in the past few years, and their health was getting better and better. It was all because of drinking the spiritual spring water. Even their parents' old cold legs didn't hurt anymore.

The brothers emerged from the space, still feeling a sense of surreality. They both knew Qiqi had been clever since childhood. Qiqi had, to justify her actions, taken a jade ring from the space and put it on her finger, lest her family ask about it and be left with no explanation. The brothers, wise enough, didn't ask Qiqi where the space had come from, instead urging each other to keep it a secret. As the saying goes, a man is innocent until he is found guilty of possessing a treasure. This thing was too precious; if anyone knew about it, there was no guarantee they wouldn't harbor evil intentions.

The three siblings arrived in the front hall, forcing smiles as they kowtowed to their parents and asked for red envelopes. Jiang Shuo'an gave each of them a large red envelope, Qiqi's the thickest. Zhao had personally sewn a larger bag for Qiqi; her earlier one was too small, and she hadn't realized Qiqi's belongings were hidden in her space, so she carried the bag on her back to conceal them. Qiqi happily accepted it, saying, "Thank you, mother." The maids in the household came to pay New Year's greetings to the master and mistress, and each received a red envelope.

After breakfast, Qiqi returned to her room to pack her luggage for the border crossing and placed it in her space. She then went to her brother's room and placed his belongings in her space. The three siblings drove to the store and bought some food for the trip. They thought the space would hold the food well, so they could buy more. They also bought some snacks for Qiqi to take home. When they reached a deserted area, Qiqi waved her hand and stored her belongings in her space. She then returned to the gate of the mansion, grabbed some snacks, and headed home.

The next morning, before their parents woke up, the three siblings drove a carriage, accompanied by Xie Lei, Xiaobai, and others, and headed for the border. They left a letter for their parents, not mentioning their brother's injury, but simply saying they missed their brothers and uncle and wanted to visit the border.

In recent years, Jiang Yunlei and Xu Yunfang have been in close contact, and their relationship has been growing stronger. The elders of both families also look favorably on them and have arranged a marriage for them. They will wait a few years until they reach the age of marriage and then get married.

Before leaving the house, Yun Lei gave a letter to his personal servant, Xiao Si, and sent it to Xu Yunfang at Xu's house, explaining that he had to go to the border for something and would be back soon so that she would not worry.

Zhao waited in the front hall, but the three siblings didn't come to eat, so she thought they were sleeping in. The maid in Qiqi's room saw that Qiqi was not in the room, and there was a letter on the bed. She hurried to the front hall with the letter and handed it to the lady. Zhao was almost scared to death when she saw it, and quickly sent Xiao Si to invite Jiang Shuoan back home. After reading the letter, Jiang Shuoan scolded Yunlei and Yunfeng for being so mean to their precious daughter. Zhao took her sister to the border during the New Year, and she said, "It's very cold in winter, and I don't know if Qiqi is dressed warmly? It's freezing and snowy, did you bring any food?" As she spoke, she burst into tears. Jiang Shuoan didn't care about being angry anymore. Zhao knew crying was useless, but she couldn't help it. Jiang Shuoan comforted the lady, saying that Yunlei and the others knew martial arts and would protect Qiqi, and Qiqi would not suffer.

Qiqi was sleeping soundly in the carriage covered with thick plush blankets! She was unaware of Zhao's worries and only wanted to save her brother.

Xie Lei drove the carriage steadily along the official road. He was a skilled martial artist, his skills rivaling Yun Lei's. He was Yun Lei's right-hand man. Xie Lei had trained a successor at the mine, who now worked alongside Yun Lei in business and attended school. Knowing the kindness of the Jiang family to him, Xie Lei diligently practiced his martial arts to better protect his young masters.

Sleeping in the open air, if it weren't for Qiqi, they would have continued their journey without stopping. Qiqi was too young, so when they encountered a town, the four of them would sleep there for the night, shaking off the fatigue of the journey. They also bought some dry food, but they couldn't tell Xie Lei about Qiqi's space for the time being. Every day, they would secretly take out a small amount of food from the car to add to the food.

When Qiqi felt sleepy, she would hold Xiaobai in her arms and lie down on the cart to sleep soundly. Xiaobai was like a little stove and she didn't feel cold even when she held him. Yunlei and the other two took turns driving the cart and eating.

That day, the carriage drove to Yuncheng. Early in the morning, they arrived at the city gate and lined up to enter the city. Xie Lei got off the carriage and bought some hot buns for a few people. As soon as he got back into the carriage, he saw a few little beggars asking for food. Many carriages not only refused to give them food, but also drove them away and whipped them.
