The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Chapter 154: Rusi breaks free from the shadow

As Rusi's emotions got out of control, the illusion gradually changed. From the original luxurious decoration to the shabby and old, it seemed that the illusion would collapse soon.

"Rusi, calm down. You scared your brother." Hua Niaoniao tried to use family affection to restore Rusi's sanity.

"Brother?" Rusi was stunned for a moment, she turned to look at Gu Zi, her eyes changed from confusion to enthusiasm, she suddenly stretched out her hand. Gu Zi was startled by her and hid behind Hua Niaoniao.

Hua Niaoniao protected the millet with one hand while looking at Rusi warily. When she saw her expression change, she thought to herself that something was wrong.

Rusi's eyes were red, almost dripping with blood. She roared at the two of them with anger on her face.

"Even you are going to choose her? Why don't you like me?"

"I..." Gu Zi wanted to explain, but was frightened by her crazy look and huddled beside Hua Niaoniao. After all, he was still a child, and his body's instinctive reactions could not be deceived.

Rusi looked at Hua Niao Niao and smiled foolishly. "It doesn't matter. When I become like you, they will all like me."

Before Hua Niaoniao could understand what she meant, she saw her take out a crescent-shaped scimitar and point it at herself.

"It deceived me. It has no way to restore my appearance. But it doesn't matter. I have thought of a brilliant idea. When I replace your face with yours, everything about you will be mine. Everyone will like me, and the young master will definitely marry me."

Her face became more and more distorted. Hua Niao Niao vaguely saw a black shadow behind her. This thing seemed to have the same origin as the black shadow underground. Thinking of what Ru Si said before, "Go back to your land", could this evil spirit really have escaped from the Ge family's ancestral tomb?

"Sister Niaoniao!" Hua Niaoniao suddenly felt someone pushing her away, followed by a cry of pain from Guzi.

Rusi took advantage of Hua Niaoniao's distraction to attack her, but fortunately Gu Zi quickly pushed her away, and he himself suffered a cut on his face.

Hua Niaoniao quickly took Gu Zi to hide behind a pillar and checked his injuries. Fortunately, although the wound was scary, it was not very deep. She felt guilty for being distracted at the critical moment. She just said she would protect him, but now she wanted a child to save him and hurt him.

Hua Niaoniao stopped his bleeding and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I broke my promise."

"I'm fine." Gu Zi comforted her in return.

Hua Niaoniao hid him behind a pillar and walked out alone.

"Xiaomi! Your brother is injured, he needs immediate treatment. You understand the pain of disfigurement, can you bear to let him suffer this pain?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Rusi's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness. She held the scimitar in her hand and walked towards Hua Niao Niao step by step.

"As long as we kill you, we can all get out. Since you care so much about him, just come here quickly and don't resist!"

Hua Niaoniao dodged while continuing to persuade: "In order to wait for you, Gu Zi stayed alone in your shabby hut. In order to save money to see you, he ran to the Ge family's ancestral tomb without caring about his own life and death, and almost died in the tomb."

Rusi paused. It turned out that Guzi went to the tomb for her. It turned out that he had been waiting for her. A warm current gradually spread in her heart, driving away the biting cold.

Seeing that her method was effective, Hua Niaoniao continued: "Guzi cares so much about you as his sister that even an outsider like me feels sympathy for him. As a sister to whom we are related by blood, do you really have no feelings and are indifferent?"

"I..." Rusi covered her head in pain. She seemed to be struggling with something. As the dark shadow behind her became more and more obvious, her face became paler.

"Sister, please wake up. I have waited so long for you to come back, and I don't want to be alone anymore."

For a moment, Gu Zi's crying and Ru Si's wailing intertwined. Hua Niaoniao took the opportunity to jump up and covered Ru Si's face with a silk handkerchief.

Rusi screamed and fell to the ground twitching.

"Sister!" Gu Zi wanted to go forward to check on her worriedly, but Hua Niaoniao hugged him around the waist.

When Rusi, who was lying on the ground, stopped moving, Hua Niaoniao signaled Guzi to stay where he was and went forward to check. The evil spirit in Rusi's body had dissipated, and her pulse was stable. Apart from being a little weak, she was fine.

"Don't worry, your sister is fine."

Hua Niaoniao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her guess was right. The thing on the silk handkerchief was the wall dirt left when she wiped Hua Miaomiao's face in the cave last time. She just left it there to give it a try. Unexpectedly, this wall was really something that could restrain the black shadow.

As the shadows disappeared, the illusion also completely disappeared. Hua Niaoniao found that they were actually in Gejia Village, right in Guzi's home. No wonder she always felt that the space was much narrower than it looked when she was hiding just now.

Hua Niaoniao and Guzi carried Rusi to the bed together. She took out an exquisite brocade box from her arms and applied medicine to Guzi.

"Hurry up and apply the medicine. It would be a shame if such a pretty face was ruined."

Gu Zi's face turned red because of her teasing. He looked eagerly at the medicine box in Hua Niaoniao's hand, which looked very expensive.

He hesitated, but still asked: "Can it remove scars?"

"Don't worry, I guarantee that there won't be any trace left." Hua Miaomiao had made this ointment when she had nothing to do and gave it to her for skin care. She had also discovered by accident that it had a miraculous effect on wound healing. No one knew how many magical herbs were used in it.

"I'm not talking about myself." Gu Zi said softly, and he turned his gaze to his sister on the bed. They had caused such a big trouble this time, he was too embarrassed to ask for medicine again.

How could Hua Niaoniao not understand his thoughts? She closed the lid of the box and stuffed the ointment directly into Gu Zi's hand.

"I don't know if it will work on your sister, but you can try."

"Are you really going to give it to me?" Gu Zi's eyes sparkled, and he said to Hua Niaoniao excitedly, "I don't have that much money, but I can help you with the work. I'm very strong and can do anything."

Hua Niaoniao looked at this sensible yet self-abased child with heartache and couldn't help but touch his head.

"You just called me Sister Niaoniao. It's just a box of ointment. Why are you still arguing with me?"

Gu Zi buried her head shyly. She actually heard the name he blurted out in the critical moment. Doesn't she despise herself?

After Hua Miaomiao received the message from Hua Niaoniao, they all immediately rushed back to the village.

At this time, a group of villagers had gathered outside the house. Everyone was very curious about Sister Guzi's sudden return.

Hua Niaoniao concealed her experience of being in a brothel, saying only that she was sold to a mining kiln, and finally escaped and returned here. The kindhearted villagers saw that the girl was thin, pale, and injured, and they all expressed sympathy and did not doubt Hua Niaoniao's words.

Ge Qingcheng found the village chief, left him some silver, and asked him to take good care of the brother and sister.

He didn't want to stay here, for fear of embarrassing each other after Rusi woke up, and he was also afraid of touching on her sad memories.

Moreover, he felt that Gu Zi was a little too attached to Hua Niaoniao. Although he was only twelve or thirteen years old, he just didn't like the admiring and grateful look in his eyes when he looked at Hua Niaoniao. He didn't want to raise another Ru Silai.

Hua Miaomiao stood in front of the carriage, looking at Taoyao with a meat ball hanging on her body, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Rourou got along very well with him. Since he came to the village, Rourou had almost stuck to him, and he would hold her wherever he went. Even Yin Xuan didn't get this treatment.

Hua Miaomiao couldn't help but tease, "Did you cast some kind of peach blossom curse on her? You don't even let a three-year-old child go."

Tao Yao looked at her helplessly, then lowered her head to coax Rourou, who was crying in her arms.

The village head's wife tried to take her over several times but failed. She smiled awkwardly and said, "It is said that children's eyes are spiritual. I guess this young man must be a noble man."

Hua Miaomiao did not explain Tao Yao's identity to the village chief. As for the missing Yin Xuan, the villagers just thought that he had left earlier for some reason.

I don't know what happened to him in the tomb, or whether he came out. But with his ability, he should be fine.

Finally, Rourou was taken back by her grandmother. Taoyao took out a peach blossom like a magician and coaxed the crying child to peace of mind.

Hua Miaomiao complained in her heart, "Brother, this is not how magic is used. It's autumn now, where are the peach blossoms coming from?" Now I'm going to be treated as a god.
