The second senior brother is back [Rebirth]

"Second Master Shen, the identities of those children have been checked, and almost all of them have been taken away now. But there is one left, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Is there one left?" Shen Tianmian frowned impatiently, "Forget it, take me to have a look."

If it wasn't for Shen Congyue's busy feet recently and the wide-ranging involvement of the disappearance case, he wouldn't take the time to help Qiqionglou investigate the case.

The remaining young man looked very miserable, with scars left by torture all over his body. The maroon scar on his right face continued to his lips. His eyes were bloodshot, the whites of his eyes were black, and his pupils were red. He was obviously blind.

As if he couldn't feel the pain, he sat on the ground with his knees hugged, neither crying nor fussing, so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.

No matter in terms of expression or actions, they all inexplicably resemble Rong Yan.

Shen Tianmian felt compassion, walked up to him, stretched out his hand, and stroked his hairy head.

The young man raised his head in a daze, and touched Shen Tianmian's hand gropingly.

Elder Xingji of Qiqionglou looked at Shen Tianmian's expression, and said flatteringly, "Second Master Shen, he is dirtier than wild dogs. You are a noble person, so stay away from him."

Shen Tianmian glanced at him indifferently, and immediately hugged the young man by the waist, "Get the room and hot water ready, if no one wants this child, I will take care of my Shen family."

The young man is really pitiful.

Shen Tianmian added medicinal materials to speed up wound healing in the bathtub, and scrubbed his body carefully.

The water was slightly scalding, and the young man was covered in injuries, but he never showed any signs of pain.Because of this, Shen Tianmian felt more pity, and his movements became more cautious, for fear of hurting him again.

After taking a bath, Shen Zhoumian applied medicine for him, put on his half-sleeved short jacket, cleaned him up neatly, and asked patiently, "What's your name?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, and showed him that he had only half of his tongue left, then took Shen Zhoumian's hand, and wrote a spiritual character on his palm.

"Then I'll call you Ah Ling, is that okay?"

The boy nodded, showing a shy smile.

Shen Tianmian took him to the Xuanhu Pharmacy.

The doctor sitting in the hall was the immature Duanmu Sheng. The moment he saw Ah Ling, his expression twisted strangely. After understanding Shen Tianmian's purpose, he skillfully wrote a pharmacy for recuperating the body.

Taking advantage of Shen Tianmian's efforts to grab the medicine, Duanmusheng dragged Ah Ling, and said in a low voice, "My little ancestor, where have you been all these days?! Do you know how much effort I spent looking for you?"

A Ling pulled his palm and wrote: I am in Qiqiong Tower, the person who made a wish for longevity last year is about to expire.

Duanmusheng slapped his head and realized suddenly.

No wonder he ran out without a word.

He was also present when Elder Huo made his wish.He knew that Ah Ling's real name was Rong Yan, and that he was the messenger of Wuyin Mountain, so he was willing to take care of him for free, provide him with food, clothing and shelter, and even pay for his healing at his own expense.

Shen Tianmian came back from grabbing the medicine, took Ah Ling's hand and left.

A Ling's condition is not suitable for walking too far. In order to prevent the bumpy road from aggravating his injury, Shen Tianmian took A Ling to stay in Qiqiong Building, planning to leave after A Ling's injury improved.

When the eleven elders heard the news, they were forced by the influence of the Shen family.Agree to Shen Tianmian's request.

"Oh, that's right." Shen Tianmian asked suddenly when he left, "I remember that you have twelve elders in total, why are there only eleven left now?"

The 11 people looked at each other, and after hesitating again and again, Elder Shou Xing stepped forward and said, "Second Master Shen, to be honest, Brother Dahuo was tricked last year, and he is still unconscious until now."

Ah Ling looked at them blankly, without saying a word.

Obviously these people were the ones who encouraged Elder Huo to make a wish to him at the time, but now they have completely pushed the responsibility away, which is really interesting.

Shen Tianmian was not interested in knowing their private affairs, so he waved his hand to signal them to leave quickly.

Eleven people felt relieved and left in a hurry.

They have problems.A Ling took Shen Tianmian's hand and wrote.

"It's okay." Shen Tianmian rubbed his head and comforted him, "Forgive them for not daring to gossip under my nose, just rest well and don't worry about me."

Ah Ling squeezed the palm of his hand, drooping his eyes and saying nothing.

Seeing that he was seriously injured, these wishers relied on their own martial arts to take advantage of Wuyin Mountain, and tried in vain to prostitute their wishes without wasting their lives.

For decades, few people were willing to obediently give up their life spans, but no matter how they resisted, they could not escape the palm of Wuyin Mountain.

If I knew this earlier, why did I do it in the first place?Allen sighed silently.

During the next few days of getting along, Shen Tianmian found that the wound on A Ling's body healed very slowly, and since the blood scab formed, there was no sign of improvement.

Shen Tianmian thought that there was something wrong with Duanmusheng's medicine, so he raised his sword and came to the door, but was told by the Yao boy: The owner of the store caused trouble, was chased and killed by people from the rivers and lakes, and had already fled for his life.

Sure enough, he is not a serious doctor.It was too late for Shen Zhoumian to regret, and took Ah Ling to see another doctor.

After visiting several companies, the doctor said that he was lucky to be alive after suffering so many injuries, and he had to take time to take care of the rest. There was no other way, and there was no rush.

Feeling Shen Tianmian's anxious mood, Ah Ling stood on tiptoe, patted his forehead, and wrote comfortingly: I don't hurt.It's okay, take your time.

Shen Tianmian felt even more guilty in his heart.

In order to take care of Ah Ling personally, the two of them have been sleeping together in the same pillow for the past few days.He knew that although Ah Ling seemed to be fine, every night he would be disturbed by nightmares, panicked, and even lost his mind time and time again, and self-harmed.

Ah Ling did not get out of the shadow of being kidnapped and abused, but fell deeper and deeper.

Shen Tianmian didn't know how to rescue him.

Ah Ling was lying beside him, already fast asleep, with thick eyelashes fanned together, looking obedient and cute.

Even the sleeping position is exactly the same as Rong Yan.

Suspicion gradually grew in Shen Tianmian's heart.

How could there be two people so similar in this world?

He checked, and there was no piece of jade epiphyllum on Ah Ling's body. Rong Yan always kept his promise, and it was impossible to throw away the jade epiphyllum.

He was afraid that he was thinking about his senior brother and thinking about being crazy, because everyone looked like a senior brother.

Shen Tianmian spurned himself, turned his back to Ah Ling and fell asleep.

A Ling opened his eyes in the dark, and his red pupils gradually turned into blue-green civet cats due to fear.

He dreamed of the day of being tortured in Wuyin Mountain again.

The pain of that time left a deep impression on him, completely overturning everything he had endured in the previous 19 years. The memory became colder and crueler.

It hurts.

Ah Ling folded his arms tightly and curled up in the corner.

The leak outside the house ticked, and a drop of water fell.

It was difficult for Ah Ling to fall asleep. After hesitating again and again, he stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Tianmian tightly, and with his trusting posture, he pressed it tightly against Shen Tianmian's warm back.

Infinitely approaching gentleness is the instinct of all living things.

Shen Zhoumian was in a drowsy sleep, and vaguely saw Rong Yan's return, right behind him, right beside him.

Shen Tianmian turned over, hugged Rong Yan in his dream tightly, clasped the back of his head with five fingers, and gently rubbed him comfortingly.

——You are back, brother.

At dawn, Shen Tianmian opened his eyes, his arms were empty, and Ah Ling was no longer there.

Shen Tianmian rubbed his aching temple, his loss was beyond words.

The dream last night was too real, he thought in a trance that Rong Yan had really returned, but overjoyed, he was actually half asleep and half awake, sleeping very unsteadily.

He pushed open the door, and Ah Ling was sitting at the door with a bench, washing his clothes for him.

"Ah Ling?" Shen Zhoumian quickly grabbed his hand, "Who asked you to wash the clothes? Your injury is not healed yet, so don't get wet easily."

A Ling shook his head, and wrote in his palm: I'm repaying a favor, don't bother me.

"No, I don't need this kind of repayment from you." Shen Tianmian forcefully picked him up by the waist, kicked open the door, and put him on the bed, "You are now a member of my Shen family, so you have to listen to me. do you know?"

Ah Ling covered his mouth and snickered for a while, and wrote: Okay, listen to you.Second Master Shen, can I have wontons stuffed with three delicacies for breakfast today?

Rong Yan also likes wontons filled with three delicacies...

Shen Tianmian lost his mind for a moment, then smiled, "You are picky eaters, wait, I will buy it for you."

The wontons that Shen Tianmian bought are Yanzhou's time-honored brands. The soup is tender and smooth, and the shrimps inside are big enough. You can tell the difference from other wontons in one bite. He had always wanted to bring Rongyan to eat, but he didn't expect it to be cheap. Ah Ling.

Ah Ling was so happy that he even drank the soup. After putting down the bowl, he asked Shen Zhoumian, "Can I still have wontons stuffed with three delicacies at noon?"

Shen Tianmian said with a stern face, "No, you are not in good health, you can't always eat the same thing, if you don't have enough nutrition, you won't grow taller."

After hearing the words [not tall], Ah Ling's body froze suddenly, and his cat eyes widened, as if he had been greatly frightened.

Shen Tianmian couldn't bear it, and added, "As long as you eat a lot, you will be fine. I will take you to eat pine nut corn rice and duck blood vermicelli soup at noon, okay?"

It's a food I've never heard of, and I don't know if it's delicious, but if it's recommended by someone in front of me, it shouldn't be wrong.

A Ling struggled for a while, and nodded reluctantly.

In the next half day, I continued to be in the sad mood of [I can’t eat wonton at noon] and [I won’t grow taller if I don’t eat well], and I couldn’t extricate myself.

Shen Tianmian, who understood what he was thinking, couldn't laugh or cry at this. At noon, he took him directly to the store to eat pine nut corn rice and duck blood vermicelli soup. Ah Ling ate his belly full, and in the afternoon he completely ate the three delicacies stuffed. Wontons were left behind.

He is really surprised to eat something new.Sitting next to Ah Ling, Shen Tianmian couldn't stop the pain in his heart when he watched him gobble it up.

A Ling noticed his gaze, endured it for a moment, picked out a piece of beef from the bowl, and brought it to his mouth.

— Hurry up and eat, and stop staring at me!

Inexplicably, Shen Tianmian saw a bit of helplessness and connivance in his blind eyes that could no longer be blind.

Subconsciously, he opened his mouth and ate the piece of beef.

Ah Ling nodded in satisfaction, and continued to eat on his own.

How can it be so easy to be satisfied?Shen Tianmian stretched out his hand and touched A Ling's head.

Under his meticulous care in the past few days, Ah Ling's hair is no longer dry and frizzy, and feels very comfortable to the touch.

A Ling took time out of his busy schedule, rubbed his palm like a cat, and then continued to eat hard.

"Pfft." Shen Tianmian couldn't hold back, but still laughed out loud.

Ever since Rong Yan disappeared, he really hasn't been this happy for a long time.

Shen Tianmian asked himself countless times, if he had revealed his identity at the beginning, would Rong Yan not have been sent to the evil way to be a proton, would not have disappeared.

Because of his momentary worries, Rong Yan's whereabouts are still unknown.Even if he suddenly wakes up later, he can't get back a glory.

He was trapped in self-blame every day, and the entanglement and regret swept over his nerves, almost suffocating him.

It's already 30.

Maybe God really pitied him for struggling for so long, so he met Ah Ling, and brought a little comfort to his dark and hopeless life.

In his heart, no one can replace Rong Yan.But with Ah Ling here, he can find an outlet to vent his emotions, turn his full of regrets into care and care, and give all of them to this young man who looks very similar to Rong Yan to whitewash the uneasiness and guilt in his heart.
