CHAPTER 55: 55 EXPERIMENT

"Little Sis..." Seeing Gu Nian come in, Erhu turned over, only to pull at his injury, causing him to grimace in pain.

Mrs. Jiang looked at him with both anger and heartache, "Serves you right, why can’t you just behave!"

Gu Nian handed the bowl in her hand to Erhu, saying, "Second Brother, I made you some honey water, drink up."

"Little Sis is still the best to me." Erhu smiled, showing a mouthful of big white teeth, took the bowl from Gu Nian, and gulped it down.

"Second Brother, can you let me see your injury?" Gu Nian cautiously asked.

"What’s there to see, it’s scary, might frighten you so much you won’t be able to sleep tonight." Although Erhu couldn’t see his back injury, he could feel the pain.

Moreover, after Dad saw it at the clinic yesterday, his eyes turned red, it must be really frightening.

"I just want to see how bad Second Brother’s injury is." Gu Nian said angrily, "In the future, I’m going to earn lots and lots of money, more than Mr. Liu, and then I’ll have people beat up Mr. Liu too, to avenge Second Brother."

Gu Nian said this on purpose, in reality, even if it were about revenge, who she would actually look for were Master Li and that unseen Er Gouzi.

To speak from the heart, Mr. Liu marrying off a daughter, such an important event, it’s understandable for anyone to feel unsettled when it goes wrong.

The most detestable thing is Er Gouzi framing Second Brother, and even Master Li, knowing it wasn’t Second Brother’s fault, still let Second Brother take the blame just because Er Gouzi is his wife’s nephew, it’s simply too much.

Erhu was deeply moved, but actually, his thoughts were the same as Gu Nian’s, "This matter, when you think about it, you can’t blame Mr. Liu, the blame lies with Er Gouzi and my master!"

While speaking, Erhu quickly spat, saying, "Almost forgot, he’s not my master anymore."

Gu Nian looked at him seriously and asked, "Second Brother, do you feel anything different in your body?"

"Body?" Erhu moved his body, "Nothing different, it feels fine!" At least, it was much better than being immobile like yesterday.

"Oh, it’s just that my back is a bit itchy, I want to scratch it but can’t, it’s really uncomfortable," Erhu said.

Gu Nian smiled, "Second Brother, go to bed early, I need to go back and sleep too."

After saying that, Gu Nian obediently said to Mrs. Jiang, "Mom, goodnight, don’t do too much needlework, the light is too dim, it will hurt your eyes."

"Just a few more stitches, I’ll put it away after finishing, goodnight Niannian, go to sleep quickly," Mrs. Jiang said.

Gu Nian returned to the room, Sanhu and Little Hu had already tidied up and were lying in bed.

Seeing Gu Nian come in, Little Hu exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, come quick, tonight the two of us will sleep together, and let Third Brother sleep with Big Brother."

Sanhu and Little Hu lost at rock-paper-scissors, so reluctantly left.

Before leaving, Sanhu threatened Little Hu, "Don’t get happy too soon, be careful Sister bites you in her sleep."

Gu Nian was instantly embarrassed.

Little Hu was clearly afraid of being bitten, so instead of their original plan of sleeping head-to-head, they each slept head to foot.

When Little Hu fell asleep, Gu Nian took out the needle she had just grabbed from Mrs. Jiang’s side from space, stretched out her white tender arm, looked at it for a long time, and still wincingly made a cut.

Instantly, a wound appeared on her arm, showing a half-finger-long blood mark.

Afterward, Gu Nian put away the needle and picked a few strawberries to eat from the space.

Before long, the wound became itchy, the original pain disappeared, and though it didn’t heal immediately, the injury improved visibly.
