LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 48 Don’t punish your brother
Chang Chun felt that there must be something they didn't know.
Long Baoer shook his head gently, "Drinking will make you hit people...
"Aren't you afraid?" Chang Chun instantly realized that this must have been a drunken beating by that beast from the Ji family.
He quickly put his arms around Chang Chun and said, "Now Long Bao'er has uncles, aunts, grandmothers and so many brothers. No one can hurt Long Bao'er anymore."
"Yes." Long Bao'er nodded, raised his head seriously and worriedly and asked, "Did Long Bao'er hit anyone when he was drunk?"
"We, Long Bao'er, are so good, how can we hit people?" Chang Chun burst into laughter, "Long Bao'er, remember, only incompetent people will hide their gaffes by being drunk."
Long Baoer nodded as if understanding.
Mrs. Ning also received the news, and the big girl behind her was holding a bowl of medicine, "Long Baoer is awake? He just drank the medicine first."
This medicine was prescribed by the imperial doctor. It was said to be a tonic, but in fact, it was mainly used to relieve drunkenness.
After all, such a young child, drinking a glass of old wine, will have such stamina...
Long Baoer shivered when he saw the medicine bowl.
She had been drinking a lot before.
And the medicine was very bitter.
But the little girl was very good. Although she didn't want to drink, she didn't make any noise. After taking one gulp, he looked up in surprise, "Isn't it bitter?"
Chang Chun didn't know whether it was bitter or not, but there was no medicine that was not bitter. Hearing this, he subconsciously took a sip.
Immediately, Chang Chun shouted, "Quick, tea. What does this smell like?"
After drinking two sips of water, Chang Chun suppressed the taste in his mouth, "Long Baoer, doesn't it feel bitter?"
Chang Chun was afraid that Long Baoer might have something wrong after being abused by that bunch of beasts before.
This medicine is obviously bitter and has a strange smell. How can it be said that it is not bitter?
"It's better than Long Bao'er's before. It's not bitter." Long Bao'er said seriously.
"Poor child." Ning sighed almost inaudibly, "Where are the candied fruits you prepared?"
The maid behind him brought some candied fruits.
Seeing the candied fruit, Long Baoer swallowed and stretched out his hand toward Chang Chun, "Aunt..."
"Huh?" Chang Chun was stunned for a moment before realizing that Long Baoer was asking her for a medicine bowl. He hesitated, "It's a little hot. Can you hold it?"
"Okay!" Long Baoer's eyes were bright, "After taking the medicine, you can eat candied fruits! My brother said so."
The temperature of the medicine is just warm, which is suitable for the mouth. Chang Chun was also afraid that Long Baoer would be immobile at such a young age.
Unexpectedly, Long Baoer's two thin little hands held the bowl steadily, and he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth and stretched out his little hand, "Preserved fruits!"
The maid next to her quickly put away the bowl, picked out the most beautiful piece of preserved fruit and put it in Long Baoer's hand.
This is a piece of preserved winter melon, with a layer of sugar frosting on the surface, and the melon flesh inside is pickled with sugar and becomes translucent.
When you bite it, it has a slightly crunchy texture, which is sweet and delicious.
Long Baoer ate this for the first time and seemed to like it very much.
Strange to say. Before taking the medicine, Long Baoer still felt dizzy and there seemed to be something dangling inside. But after taking the medicine for a while, I felt refreshed.
Now the little girl couldn't sit still and wanted to get out of bed.
Seeing that she was indeed fine, Chang Chun helped tidy up her clothes before taking her out.
It also puts everyone at ease.
After Long Baoer went out, he met Mrs. Chang, his uncle, and several uncles from the Chang family.
But I couldn't see any of my brothers.
"Aunt, where are the brothers?"
"They made a mistake and are being punished outside!" Xue Qingsong said.
"Ah!" Long Bao'er exclaimed, his face turned white and his eyes suddenly burst into tears, "Brothers are right, don't hit me..."
The word "punished" was probably the word Long Baoer heard most frequently before.
Ji Zhong was unhappy.
Long Baoer will be punished.
The eldest lady is in a bad mood.
Long Baoer will be punished.
Even if the concubines of the Ji family were offended, they could casually charge Long Baoer with a crime and make her punished.
There are also many types of punishment.
Ji Zhong thought he kicked and whipped Long Baoer every time.
The eldest lady was forced to kneel down and be locked up in a small dark room.
The concubines of the Ji family generally did not dare to do anything directly, or they would secretly pinch them, pull their hair out, and insult them.
In short, when he heard about being punished, Long Baoer instantly imagined that his brothers were undergoing ten types of torture.
Not only did I cry, I cried so much that I almost ran out of breath.
"Don't cry, don't cry!" All the adults in the room panicked.
"Call those little bastards in quickly!" Chang Maozhi quickly ordered.
Following the uncle's instructions, the housekeeper quickly went out and called in his young master and the group of young cousins.
Chang Xuan and the seven brothers of the Xue family rushed in happily.
Knowing that their sister was fine, and knowing that they were spared punishment thanks to their distressed sister and crying, several of them felt even more guilty.
Especially Chang Xuan.
Although he is the only son in the family, he comes from a family of military commanders and does not pamper his children.
If Long Baoer hadn't been here today, they would have done enough squatting outside.
Chang Xuan, the seven brothers of the Xue family, and Yi'er all entered the room and looked around Long Bao'er to make sure everything was fine before they felt relieved.
The sixth child next to him bumped Yi'er with his shoulder, "Brother, you can do it! From now on, you will be the eighth child of the Xue family!"
Yi'er also went out with him just now.
But he didn't know how to walk, so he stayed by his side.
Mainly because Yi'er felt that he was one of them during the meal, and he was also responsible for not realizing that Long Baoer drank by mistake.
"Brother, were you beaten?" Long Bao'er pulled Xue Lei and asked with tears in his eyes before his tears were dried.
"No, no. None of the brothers were beaten, they were punished with walking. It's okay." Xue Lei quickly squatted down and gently hugged Long Bao'er and explained.
Among the brothers, he was the only one who saw Long Baoer's bloody and dying appearance after being beaten, and knew how scared the little girl was.
Chang Xuan stood aside, ruffling the little girl's hair with pity in his eyes.
Just as they were squatting together, the seven brothers of the Xue family told Chang Xuan all about Long Baoer's previous life in more detail than before.
In addition to what Xue Lei said, the other brothers all started to think about how miserable Long Baoer was.
This is indeed the case, but Xue Lei is not good at describing it. When he heard his brothers' thoughts, he nodded vigorously from the side, "It's so miserable!"
Chang Xuan looked extremely ugly.
He was studying art in the mountains, and he listened to his master and uncles chatting on weekdays. They talked about chivalrous things in the world. He never thought that there was such a family in the world that was worse than a beast, beating a child who was as soft as a little dumpling into that state. .
If it hadn't been for Taoist Ma, if the uncle and cousin hadn't arrived in time, and if the little girl hadn't been so lucky, they might have lost their sister forever.
