It was a kang. The kang was not very big, just over two meters wide, but the small kang was so wide that it was filled with things. Of course, they were all rags.
There was a figure lying on the bed, and it was probably Ji Gen.
There were two children standing next to him. Zhu Tianlei recognized them as they had also been to the emergency room with Gen'er before.
In the corner, on a broken single sofa, a little girl was lying, holding a rag doll with missing legs in her arms, and she was sleeping. Even though there was a lot of noise in the room, the little girl was still sleeping deeply.
"Second brother, third brother, this big brother Zhu said he knew dad, and he also knew big brother, I..."
Suo'er excitedly introduced Zhu Tianlei to the two boys, but unexpectedly, the two boys not only showed no enthusiasm at all, but also stared at him angrily.
"Second brother, do you know who killed my father? This is the man in front of you, and you actually brought him to your home. Do you want him to kill your eldest brother again?"
One of the little boys with big eyes glared at Zhu Tianlei and shouted to Suo'er.
"He...he is Zhu Tianlei?"
Suo'er was obviously taken aback and didn't react for a while.
"You go out, you are not welcome here!"
Although the little boy with big eyes is not tall, he has a good temper. He doesn't have the slightest fear when facing Zhu Tianlei.
"Are you Manxiang?"
Facing the little boy's harsh words, Zhu Tianlei didn't feel dissatisfied or embarrassed at all, but asked softly.
"Bah, you don't care what my name is, get out, get out!"
Manxiang's skin was very white, but it had an unhealthy redness. His hands were covered with chilblains. As he clenched his fists, the chilblains were broken open, and yellow pus flowed out.
"Manxiang, you..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Just as Zhu Tianlei was about to speak, a violent cough suddenly came from the kang.
The expressions of Man Xiang, Ji Qing, and Suo'er who were standing next to them all changed drastically. They all jumped onto the kang without even having time to chase Zhu Tianlei away.
"Brother, brother, how are you?"
Suo'er's voice was obviously trembling.
"water....."
I don't know if it was because of the high fever, but in the room where water was dripping and turning into ice, I didn't even want to drink water.
"Brother, just wait, I'll get it for you."
Suo'er casually took a cup from the window sill next to him, but because the temperature was too low, the water in the cup was frozen with a layer of ice. Suo'er could only reach out and smash open the top layer of ice, and then put it in again.
Give the water to Gen'er.
"Let me look at him."
Although it was just a visual inspection, Zhu Tianlei felt that the spiritual energy in his body was constantly surging like a wild horse that had escaped the reins.
He had only encountered this situation once, and that was when Xiaohei Creek was overrun with parasites and when he saw Hu Zi.
The spiritual energy is rolling, which proves that Gen'er's illness is not optimistic.
"Go away, you don't have to pretend to be a good person, you killed dad, and we will never allow you to kill brother again!"
Man Xiang's eyes were full of anger and hatred.
After all, they are children, so Zhu Tianlei cannot use any means against them, but Gen'er's condition obviously cannot be delayed.
"Manxiang, you keep saying that I killed your father. Did you see it with your own eyes or hear it with your own ears?"
"Hmph, after all, you are the murderer who killed dad."
Man Xiang refused to answer Zhu Tianlei's question. The more so, the more Zhu Tianlei felt there was something fishy.
Manxiang is only ten years old. Does a ten-year-old child know what killing is?
"Man Xiang, let's not dwell on this matter now. Gen'er's illness is very critical. If not treated in time, it may be life-threatening. If you don't want anything to happen to him, just let me see a doctor for him."
"No, who knows if you will kill me!"
Man Xiangnian has a small memory, but he is very stubborn. At least he has more ideas than Ji Qing and Suo'er.
Zhu Tianlei felt slightly angry, but he also knew the reason for Man Xiang's excessive emotion.
In desperation, he looked around and found a small yellow dog huddled in a corner, so thin that only its fur was left.
I don’t know why, but the little yellow dog was lying on its stomach sickly, panting continuously.
Zhu Tianlei's eyebrows darkened, and a silver needle flew out and sank into the puppy's neck with a pop.
"Goudaner!"
Man Xiang shouted, looking at Zhu Tianlei with even more resentment.
"You said you're worried that I'll kill your brother. I just want to tell you that if I want to kill him, I can just stand here. Of course, if I want to save him, it's easy too!"
After Zhu Tianlei finished speaking, he saw that the little yellow dog that was originally lying on the ground stood up, barked twice, and ran to a small plate at the door to drink water.
Manxiang looked at this scene in shock.
Goudan'er hasn't stood up for two days, this Zhu Tianlei...
"Third brother, why don't you let him show it to me? We are all standing by, so he doesn't dare to do anything!"
Suo'er is obviously not as hostile to Zhu Tianlei as Man Xiang. How could a bad guy act bravely and stand up for justice?
"Okay, Zhu Tianlei, if my brother has three cards and two shorts, I, Lu Manxiang, will not let you go even if I am a ghost!"
Zhu Tianlei glanced at Manxiang's eager eyes, didn't say anything, went directly to the kang, and squatted next to Gen'er.
As soon as his fingers touched Gen'er's wrist, his expression immediately darkened.
"When did he get sick?"
Zhu Tianlei has always been friendly and cheerful since he came in. This is the first time he has such a sullen face and his whole body is as cold as ice.
"It's been almost half a month..."
Suo'er murmured and whispered.
"What did he eat before he became ill?"
"this....."
Suo'er hesitated for a moment, glanced at Man Xiang, but did not continue.
"Lu Manxiang, if you don't want your eldest brother to die, then tell the truth, he is poisoned!"
"What? Impossible!"
After hearing Zhu Tianlei's words, Man Xiang opened his mouth in shock and kept shaking his head.
"It's true that he was poisoned, Man Xiang. No matter what the reason is for you to hide it, I can only tell you that if you don't say it, let alone me, even if Daluo God shows up, he won't be able to survive tonight."
As soon as Zhu Tianlei finished speaking, the faces of the three boys, including Man Xiang, all turned pale.
At this moment, Xiao Qi, who was sleeping on the sofa, also woke up. Without saying a word, she started crying at the top of her lungs.
Manxiang frowned and glanced at Xiaoqi, who was crying out of breath before opening his eyes. He was experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart.
Zhu Tianlei didn't rush, he was waiting.
"Before my eldest brother got sick, he once drank a bottle of drink."
"where?"
"Li Yang gave it to me and asked me to drink it for my eldest brother."
Manxiang's big eyes flickered, but he avoided Zhu Tianlei's sight intentionally or unintentionally.
"Li Yang?"
"Li Yang is a salesperson of Yongheng Life Insurance Company. Dad has applied for insurance with him."
Seeing Manxiang speak, Ji Qing, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. (To be continued)
