Chapter 117 Old things
Cao pulled her eldest brother to sit down, brought out a basin of warm water for him to wash up, then turned back to the kitchen and brought out a few eggs in a bowl!
She reached out to take the egg, intending to peel it and put the skin on her brother's bruised face and eye sockets, but the egg was too hot, so she immediately retracted her hand and touched her earlobe!
"Fang Ruo, this egg is too hot. Your hands are tender, but my skin is thick. Let me peel it!"
Seeing this, Lin Dayong hurried forward and grabbed the egg. Not caring about the heat, he peeled the egg in a few deft strokes!
He handed the egg to his brother-in-law who had just washed his face and was shaving, looked at his bruised eye sockets, and said flatteringly, "Haha, brother, roll around with the egg, the swelling will go down in a while!"
"Thank you! Brother-in-law, you are so strong!"
General Cao shaved his beard neatly, took the egg from Lin Dayong's hand, and rolled it on his face while talking.
Lin Dayong complained in his heart: I am still rational and holding back my strength, otherwise your face would have become a meat paste.
"Uncle, my father is so strong that he can break such a thick tree with one punch!"
Lin An ran up to General Cao, gesturing and talking.
General Cao raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, looked at the cheerful Lin Dayong and said, "Brother-in-law, can we have a fight later?"
Lin Dayong rubbed his hands and said, "Okay! Let's show it off!"
At this time, Cao, who had just gone into the house, came out holding a few sets of clothes. She walked up to General Cao, handed the clothes to him and said, "Brother, after you joined the army, I made a few sets of clothes for you every year, but I couldn't deliver them to you. These are made in the last two years, and they are specially made big. Go to An Er's room and try them on to see if they fit you!"
General Cao grinned happily as he took the clothes and strode into the room his sister pointed to!
Half a minute later, the door opened. Lin Xi and the others looked at General Cao, who had changed into silk clothes and had his hair tied up again, with amazement in their eyes!
He looks like a righteous, handsome and elegant young man, except that he is a little older!
"Look, little sister, it's just the right size!"
General Cao walked up to Cao, turned around, and smiled from ear to ear!
Lin Xi and the other two started to make a noise, surrounding General Cao and shouting: Uncle is so handsome!
General Cao's smile got bigger. He looked at Bai De's niece and two nephews and said embarrassedly, "Uncle didn't bring any gifts this time. I'll get you some precious swords after I defeat the Jin soldiers!"
Lin Xi and the other two agreed happily, then left the yard with Lin Dayong and went up the mountain to train with the other team members, allowing General Cao and his sister to reminisce about the past!
Cao brewed a pot of tea, and the brother and sister started chatting while drinking tea!
General Cao thought of his sister's words when she first saw him: "Brother, you are not dead!"
I was very confused. Why did my sister think he was dead?
After asking carefully, I found out that my father and stepmother had deceived my younger sister, saying that he was seriously injured in the battlefield and wanted to go home to see her for the last time with his last breath!
But when they arrived at the foot of Sunset Mountain, his injuries were so severe that the guards did not dare to move him, so two guards rode at full speed to the general's mansion to report the news!
His kind father and stepmother coaxed his little sister, saying that they would have someone take her to Sunset Mountain first, while they would go to the palace to invite the imperial physician, and then bring the physician with them!
My younger sister did not doubt it. When she heard the news that he was going to die, she ignored everything else and got on the carriage in a hurry, not even taking her personal maid with her, and rushed to Sunset Mountain!
When General Cao heard this, he clenched his fists so hard that they made a crackling sound!
His stepmother had always regarded them as a thorn in her side and wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible! He was not surprised at all that she wanted to harm his sister, but what he didn't expect was that his good father was also involved!
Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs, so how could he have the heart to kill his own daughter!
Cao drank a cup of tea and calmed herself down. So many years had passed, but when she talked about that family, she still wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood!
As she recalled, she continued to tell her eldest brother about the scene when she arrived behind Sunset Mountain!
As she recalled, the scene from more than ten years ago once again appeared clearly before her eyes.
After arriving at Sunset Mountain, she did not see her elder brother at all. Instead, she saw her half-sister who was waiting there with a group of guards!
"Second sister, why are you here? Where is your eldest brother?"
She ran to her second sister breathlessly and asked anxiously.
"Big sister, come with me, big brother has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Her younger sister smiled gently and took her to a cliff.
She looked at the empty cliff and felt something was wrong, so she continued to ask, "Second sister, where is my eldest brother?"
Then her usually gentle and harmless second sister smiled grimly and said, "Brother? Your good brother has fallen off the cliff and is shattered to pieces, hahaha!"
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! You are lying!"
After shouting, he ran to the edge of the cliff, knelt there, and looked down the cliff anxiously!
At this moment, a huge force pushed her off the cliff!
As she was falling off the cliff, she heard her half-sister's arrogant laughter on the top of the cliff and felt extremely regretful!
"Cao Fangruo, if you die, I will be the legitimate daughter of the Cao family, and the marriage with the Anyang Marquis's Mansion will be mine! Hahahaha!"
Before going to the war, her eldest brother had secretly reminded her not to trust her second sister and stepmother easily, as they were not good people. However, she was deceived by their hypocritical faces and was completely unguarded against them, and ultimately ended up with no trace left!
She is not afraid of death, but how can she accept not knowing whether her elder brother is alive or dead?
After a burst of severe pain, she fainted!
