The slightly sobbing voice of his younger sister made the scarlet in Shen Haiyan's eyes fade. He softened his voice and asked, "Is Baozhu okay?"
"Third brother heard that you fell into the lake and have been in a coma ever since. Are you feeling better now?"
Shen Baozhu quickly retorted, "That's not true! I've already recovered. That day, the bad guy... and then the immortal gave me a magic pill. After that... I've been making clay figurines with Brother Su Qian these days to find the bad guy who hurt him!"
Mother only said to keep it from the eldest brother, but didn't say anything about hiding it from the third brother. So Shen Baozhu openly mentioned the existence of the immortal.
"Don't be afraid, third brother. I just fed you a lot of treasures. You'll definitely be okay."
Just as Shen Baozhu finished speaking, Lin Yu's subtitle appeared: [Baozhu, lift your third brother's hand. There's something wrong with it.]
Lin Yu had the best observational skills. He keenly noticed the emotional changes in Shen Haiyan after he woke up, as well as his limp limbs.
Shen Baozhu was stunned for a moment. She quickly raised the arm she was holding high. Ignoring the pain, she changed directions and lifted Shen Haiyan's other arm so that Lin Yu could see more clearly.
This time, even the True Lord Qingyun could tell that something was wrong: [Judging from this, it seems his bones have been broken?]
"I'll go find mother to save third brother!" Shen Baozhu was shocked. She put Shen Haiyan's hand down and was about to return to the princess mansion to call for help.
However, her ankle was sprained and swollen. The pain made it difficult for Shen Baozhu to move.
Shen Baozhu gritted her teeth and took a step forward, but found that she couldn't teleport as she did before. She stood there stunned and anxiously said, "What should I do?"
Although the True Lord Qingyun had magic pills, Shen Haiyan's bones were broken, and his pills were of no use. He could only rummage through his spells and tell Shen Baozhu to return to the mansion as soon as possible to report the news.
Suddenly, Lin Yu had an idea: [Don't be in a hurry, Baozhu. I have a way.]
[One of my colleagues has a genetic disease. Even a slight movement could cause him to fracture or break a bone. So he always carries a robot doctor with him. I'll go borrow it now. You stay with your third brother for a while.]
Lin Yu specifically instructed: [Don't rush back, Baozhu. The medical technology in the interstellar era is better than that in ancient times. They will definitely be able to completely cure him.]
Shen Baozhu nodded in a daze. She believed that Lin Yu wouldn't harm her and obediently sat back beside Shen Haiyan.
This time, she remembered the small bag on her body. She quickly took out the pastries inside and fed them to Shen Haiyan.
But Shen Baozhu forgot that her hands were covered in dust from searching all the way. The clean rice cakes were now stained with a bit of gray dust and even a few streaks of red.
Because he was worried about Shen Baozhu, Shen Haiyan didn't eat much yesterday. And today, he left the military camp early in the morning and had a fight with someone. He was so hungry that his stomach was growling.
He was just about to take a bite of the rice cake when he saw the bloodstains on it. Shen Haiyan subconsciously looked at Shen Baozhu's hand.
Her once fair and tender little hand was now covered in bloodstains. There were so many tiny cuts that it was impossible to count them all. The skin on her palm was rubbed off, and blood was oozing out. But the owner of the little hand seemed not to notice the pain and was holding a pastry: "Third brother, eat!"
An indescribable emotion welled up in Shen Haiyan's heart. There was anger towards Shen Yunfeng and annoyance towards himself. In the end, it all turned into heartache.
Noticing Shen Haiyan's gaze, Shen Baozhu also lowered her head and looked at the dirty rice cake in her hand. Tears welled up in her eyes and couldn't be controlled.
"I made the rice cake dirty. You can't eat it... It's all because my hands are too dirty."
But after crying for just a couple of sentences, Shen Baozhu wiped away her tears: "Don't worry, third brother. Although I cried, I can protect you!"
"There are other pastries in the small bag. They're all clean, not dirty..."
"Does it hurt?" Shen Haiyan interrupted Shen Baozhu. At this moment, his eyes were scarlet. He wished he could stab Shen Yunfeng to death with a single knife. But in front of his sister, he softened his voice and gently asked, "Does it hurt, Baozhu?"
Shen Baozhu had just managed to control her tears, but when she heard her third brother's concerned voice, she couldn't help but cry out loud.
Shen Baozhu nestled beside Shen Haiyan. She whispered, "Third brother, I'm so scared. What if I didn't come to find you?"
After feeding all the treasures to Shen Haiyan just now, Shen Baozhu was extremely scared. She hoped that she was just having a nightmare and that her third brother was still okay, instead of lying in a pit covered in blood with his bones broken.
But Shen Baozhu was even more afraid that something really happened to her third brother and she didn't notice in time...
Shen Haiyan saw the uneasiness in his sister's heart. He forced a smile with difficulty: "Baozhu, this small bag looks a bit familiar. Is it the one the second brother gave you?"
"I remember that the eldest brother was jealous last year and said he wanted to make a small bag too. But after struggling for several days, there were holes in all ten of his fingers and the small bag still didn't take shape."
"Speaking of the eldest brother, has he been home recently? Did you give the eldest brother the flower cakes too? Did you give one to the second brother?"
When it came to this, Shen Baozhu's attention was diverted. With tears still on her face, she angrily questioned, "Third brother, you received the flower cakes. Why didn't you write back to me?"
Shen Haiyan had already forgotten about this. Suddenly being reminded by Shen Baozhu, he couldn't hide his guilt: "It's all those bad guys' fault. They're the ones who made it impossible for me to write back to you."
"Okay, I'll forgive you this time." Although Shen Baozhu was young, she was very magnanimous and easily forgave Shen Haiyan.
Just as Shen Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Shen Baozhu say, "Since the eldest brother got sick, both the eldest and the second brother have been at home. The flower cakes were given to me and the eldest brother by Brother Su Qian."
Sick?
Shen Haiyan subconsciously thought of Shen Yunfeng. Baozhu fell into the water, the eldest brother got sick, and he suddenly had an accident. These three things seemed very suspicious.
And Shen Haiyan was very sure that the few strong men who blocked him were sent by Shen Yunfeng.
The Shen family's ranking was separated by gender. No matter which branch they were from, they were all counted together. The third-ranked person in the Shen family wasn't Shen Haiyan. In the general's mansion, Uncle Zhao and the others directly called him Young Master Haiyan. Only the people in the princess mansion called Shen Haiyan the Third Young Master.
There were only a few masters in the princess mansion. Shen Haiyan could guess who sent them with his eyes closed.
Just as Shen Haiyan was about to ask in detail, Lin Yu finally borrowed the robot. To be precise, he bought one at a high price.
[Baozhu, this is a medical robot specially designed for children. I'll send it to you.]
A flash of white light later, a ball less than half a meter in size appeared in the pit.
The ball trembled as it walked over: "The light is too dim. Activating the lighting mode."
With this light, Shen Baozhu finally saw the whole body of the ball. It turned out that the ball had limbs, but its hands and feet were so thin and short that they were easily overlooked.
Under Shen Baozhu's curious gaze, the ball shot out a red line and scanned both her and Shen Haiyan. Finally, it came to a conclusion: "The little girl is five years old. She has multiple scratches on her body and a sprained ankle. She needs to be disinfected and treated with medicine in time."
"The teenager is fifteen years old. He has fractures in his hands and feet and has suffered a head injury. He has taken medicine and his life is not in danger, but he needs to undergo surgery to fix the bones with steel plates..."
The ball said some strange things that Shen Baozhu didn't hear clearly because she saw the ball take out a knife from its stomach and stab it towards Shen Haiyan...
"Third brother!"
