Chapter 2 Going home

It was late spring, and the bright sunshine shone in through the window screen of the water and sky. Chen Tong leaned against the pillow and sat in the light and shadow, her petite body shrouded in a hazy area.

"Sister, I have pine nut candy here. If you drink the soup, I will give you the candy."

Rong Niang's gentle voice sounded in his ears. Chen Tong turned his head to look at her and smiled at her, but he did not touch the bowl of soup in front of him.

The smile on Rong Niang's face became a little stronger. Maybe the child was not used to the environment because he changed the environment. Chen Tong got sick when she came here, and her high fever did not subside. She slept in a daze for a few days and didn't wake up until this morning.

But Rong Niang felt that Chen Tong seemed to be different from before.

As for what is different, Rong Niang can't explain it clearly.

Speaking of which, she and Shen Tong are not familiar with each other. When she got married, Chen Tong was only six years old. Two years passed in a flash. The child was like a seedling planted in the field, and it was like a day. It was not surprising that an eight-year-old child had changed his temper and personality.

"Rong Niang, put the medicine down and I'll drink it later." Chen Tong still didn't touch the bowl of medicine, and his little hands tightly held the doll in his arms.

This doll was brought from her home.

This morning, Chen Tong woke up and the first thing she saw was this doll.

This was sewn by her mother with her own hands. She liked it very much and placed it next to her pillow when she was sleeping.

Unfortunately, she has forgotten this doll for many years.

What she forgot was not only the doll, but also many things. She didn't remember anything... It was not until the moment she fell off the cliff that she remembered her mother, Rong Niang, and that little girl.

At that time, she thought she would be crushed to pieces, but she was not dead; but she remembered her mother's appearance. Three years later, when she saw the crazy woman who rushed over to fight with the crown princess, she recognized that it was her mother at a glance. She rushed forward desperately and blocked her mother with her broken body. The moment when thousands of arrows pierced her heart, she heard her mother call her "Tongtong!"

When she opened her eyes again, she had already returned to her childhood.

She was eight years old this year.

It’s just a pity that she still couldn’t see her mother. When she woke up, she had already left home and was taken to her cousin’s house by Rong Niang.

Rong Niang is her mother's dowry maid. She promised to be a concubine for her cousin two years ago. After Chen Tong woke up, she had never seen her cousin. She heard from the little maid Fangfei that her cousin was not at home and the other masters were not there either.

Chen Tong's memory started at the age of eight. When she was eight, she was taken to the Death Warrior camp. Before that, it was said that she followed the man's teeth, but unfortunately she didn't remember it. It was not until now that Chen Tong knew that when she was eight years old, she had lived in her cousin's house. What happened in the middle, and how could she fall into the man's hands?

The children in the hands of human teeth are either bought or kidnapped.

Although my cousin's family cannot be called a wealthy man, he also calls a slave to call a maid. Logically speaking, it is not easy for a human to kidnap her. Could it be that she was sold?

Chen Tong looked at Rong Niang in confusion and asked, "Rong Niang, where is my mother? When will I go home?"

Although Chen Tong also guessed that something must have happened at home, and that his mother would ask Rong Niang to take her away quietly. The little girl Rong Niang took her there was nineteen or ninety-one to pretend to be her.

That little girl... After she was rescued by Master Denunciation, Chen Tong remembered who she was.

Rong Niang smiled reluctantly, and she said softly: "Did you forget me? Didn't your wife tell me that she was sick and worried that she would be sick, so she asked me to come to the house with me for a while. When my wife recovered from illness, I would send my sister back."

It turned out that my mother used these words to coax her to leave the house. Chen Tong felt a little sad. Her mother must have loved her very much and didn't want her to be afraid. She used the excuse of getting sick and asked Rong Niang to take her away.

But she is no longer that confused child. She doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes. She must know what happened back then.

"What about my father? My mother is sick, so my father doesn't go home to visit her?" Chen Tong's memory was not like her father.

The smile on Rong Niang's face froze. She was stunned and said, "What's wrong with Sister? The master has passed away long ago. The wife has always been a widow. Sister doesn't remember?"

My father had passed away long ago. Chen Tong remembered the scene before his death in his previous life, and seemed to have something to do. Chen Tong subconsciously touched his head and wanted to think of more.

"Sister, are you having a headache? Take this bowl of medicine quickly. Your disease has not yet been cured." Rong Niang picked up the bowl of medicine again, obviously wanting to feed Chen Tong.

Chen Tong waved his hand and hit Rong Niang's hand. The child's hand was not strong, but Rong Niang was not prepared and rushed over. She caught her off guard. Most of the medicine in her hand was spilled out, and some of it was spilled on Chen Tong's clothes. Rong Niang was so scared that she lost her temper and hurriedly saw if Chen Tong was burned.

Chen Tong stood up, shook her little jacket and skirt, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not hot."

In fact, that bowl of medicine has long been gone. Rong Niang used to be the eldest maid next to her mother. She was calm in her work and of course she would not bring the hot medicine to her for drink.

Seeing that she was fine, Rong Niang breathed a sigh of relief and asked the little maid Fangfei to come over to change into Chen Tong.

Fangfei is only eight years old, and the other Chunque is only nine years old. Apart from these two little maids, Chen Tong has not seen any other servants after she woke up.

Logically, she was only eight years old and was sick. Rong Niang should have sent an elderly and sensible maid to serve her. No matter what, she should not be two young girls of the same age of eight or nine.

Moreover, these two little girls just entered the mansion last month. Chen Tong had tested them. They just knew that Chen Tong was the cousin, master, wife and two young masters in the mansion were not at home. Now the head of the house is Rong Niang. In addition, they were just asking questions and not knowing what they were doing.

Fangfei helped Rong Niang change Chen Tong's clothes. Chunque came over to wipe the spilled medicine juice and was about to take the medicine bowl out. Rong Niang stopped her: "Wait, put the medicine bowl down. There is nothing you have to do here. Fang Fei and you go and wash the clothes for Miss Cousin."

Chunque put down the medicine bowl, took Chen Tong's changed clothes, and retreated with Fangfei.

Seeing that they were leaving, Rong Niang and Yan said to Chen Tong with joy: "Your illness has not been cured yet. Let's sleep for a while. Most of the decoction has been spilled. I will boil another bowl."

"Call the maid to cook medicine, and you can talk to me for a while." Chen Tong raised her little face and looked at Rong Niang with a pair of black and white eyes.

A chill came out from behind. Rong Niang subconsciously avoided Chen Tong's gaze and pretended to look at the pot of four-season begonia on the windowsill. But soon, she withdrew her gaze and met Chen Tong's eyes.

She must have been in a daze just now. In front of her, she was just an eight-year-old girl, innocent and innocent, with her eyes clear without any trace of dust.

"My sister's illness has not yet been cured. This medicine is not careless. I don't worry about the maids, so I'd better go and suck it with my own hands."

"Okay, then you go, I'm sleepy too." Chen Tong said, covering his mouth with his hands and yawning, listless.

Children are children. They were just clamoring to talk, but now they are sleepy.

Rong Niang took the lead pillow, then took Chen Tong's pillow, and carefully covered her with a brocade quilt.

The child who had just recovered from a serious illness had not recovered his physical strength and spirit. Chen Tong closed her eyes and quickly made a uniform breathing sound. Her long eyelashes made two shallow shadows under her eyelids. Rong Niang stood by the bed, stared at her for a while, tucked the corner of her quilt, put down her tent, and tiptoed out.

The curtain that was constantly patterned by ten thousand characters was lifted up and put down, and the carved wooden door was silently closed, and Chen Tong in the tent suddenly opened her eyes.

There is something wrong with that bowl of soup!

Dead soldiers not only know how to kill people, but also have to understand pharmacology. After all, it is not only swords but also poisonous (anti-) medicine used to kill people.

Just now, Rong Niang brought the medicine bowl to her and she smelled something wrong. The medicine used was a cooling and heat dissipation prescription. Although it was not the right one, it was okay to take it, but there should not be a smell of alcohol in the medicine.

Maybe I was worried that the child would not drink it when he smelled the wine, so I didn’t add too much wine. If it were a real child, I might have drunk it with pine nut sugar.
