Chapter 142 Amnesiac Boy
I only heard that gentle voice again, a "sister", called softly and with a bit of dependence, like a spring breeze, gently stirring people's hearts.
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Xuan quickly looked up and saw a young man with a bandaged head wound, holding his head with his hand, his steps somewhat unsteadily standing there, and constantly calling out "Sister". His appearance made people feel pity, but also revealed a certain indescribable strangeness.
Shen Li also noticed that the boy had woken up at this time. She hurried over, tiptoed slightly, reached out and gently touched the boy's forehead. It felt warm, but there was no sign of fever. Only then did she feel relieved.
But then, she found that the boy was staring at her intently, and called her "sister" in a crisp voice. His eyes were full of admiration, as if she was really his biological sister who depended on him and was close to him. His eyes were as clear and innocent as a spring flowing in the mountains, pure without a trace of impurities.
Seeing this, Shen Li cried out in his heart: Oh no, this boy must have fallen and become stupid!
Why did he keep calling me sister when he woke up, and with such a look in his eyes? Could it be that he thought I was the person closest to him?
She frowned slightly, began to worry, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
Shen Li stood there, looking at the situation in front of him, at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do with this young man.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Shen Xuan, but saw that Shen Xuan also looked stunned, obviously also confused by this sudden situation.
Shen Li was angry and helpless. She couldn't help but stomped her feet at the boy and said in a louder voice, "Don't yell at me. I'm not your sister at all. I'm younger than you. Don't yell at me!"
When the boy heard this, his eyes instantly turned red and he looked so aggrieved.
He quickly reached out and grabbed Shen Li's hand, squeezing it tightly, as if afraid that Shen Li would disappear immediately. Tears welled up in his eyes and were about to fall. He pleaded softly with a sobbing voice, "Sister, please don't leave Qi'er, Qi'er will be good, sister..."
Seeing this, Shen Li was speechless for a moment, and a black line appeared on his forehead.
She quickly asked again, "Your name is Qi'er? What's your last name?"
The young man seemed not to hear her question, still holding her hand tightly and refusing to let go, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was trying hard to recall something, but the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.
He covered his head with one hand and shouted, "Sister, Qi'er is in so much pain!"
Seeing the painful look, Shen Li swallowed back the questions she wanted to ask. She felt helpless and worried, and didn't know what to do.
Shen Li tried to pull hard at the hand that the boy was holding, thinking that she could easily pull it out.
But who would have known that although this young boy looked young, his hands were surprisingly strong. No matter how hard she tried, her hand was like being clamped by pliers and could not move at all.
Not only that, the boy looked at her with tears in his eyes, looking so pitiful, as if she would break his heart if she continued to struggle.
Shen Li was really helpless and had to let the boy pull her as she slowly walked around the yard twice. As she walked, her mind was spinning like a top, racking her brains to think of a way to get out of this embarrassing and tricky situation.
Just then, Zhang finished her work in the kitchen and walked over while wiping her hands.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Shen Li holding a boy. He was immediately surprised and asked hurriedly: "A Li, whose child are you holding?"
As she spoke, she walked closer and took a closer look at the young man. She saw that his head was wrapped in a black cloth. She said in surprise, "Oh, is he injured?"
Shen Li looked like she had lost all hope in life. She glanced at her mother with resentment, then raised her hand that was tightly held by the young man and said with a bitter face, "Mom, this is such a long story, so long that I don't even know where to start. Anyway, he's holding me like this now, and he won't let go!"
As she spoke, she cried out in a sobbing voice, "Mom, I picked him up in the mountains. I don't know if he lost his memory after falling on his head. When he woke up, he kept calling me sister and refused to let me go! Mom, please help the child!"
He looked aggrieved and helpless, just like a child who had suffered a great injustice.
But who could have thought that when the young man saw Zhang approaching, not only did he not let go of her hand, but as if he was threatened by something, he increased the strength in his hand and held Shen Li's hand even tighter.
His eyes were full of vigilance, like a frightened little animal, staring at Zhang closely, as if he would immediately take a defensive stance if Zhang did anything slightly wrong.
Zhang looked at the tall boy with a childlike look in her eyes, feeling somewhat helpless.
She looked carefully at the boy in front of her, secretly feeling that the child was really pitiful. After thinking for a while, she said to Shen Li: "He looks like a pitiful child. How about this, you take him out to see the lively scene of slaughtering wild boars. Children usually like lively things. Maybe once he sees the lively scene, he will let you go."
Shen Xuan couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he heard his mother's words. He secretly complained in his heart that his mother's idea was not a good one. Judging from the boy's vigilant look, he was afraid that if they got to a crowded place, the tension would get even tighter, and who knows what kind of trouble would happen.
However, Shen Li did not think so. She thought that what her mother said seemed to make sense, so she did not hesitate any longer and pulled the boy outside. The boy followed obediently, but the hand holding Shen Li never let go.
