CHAPTER 737: CHAPTER 734: AN OLDER SISTER

Shen Siyuan once again asked Meizi in detail about the buildings, clothes, and some local specialties from her place.

With this comprehensive information, he was even more certain that Meizi’s hometown should be in the Yun Gui area.

However, Shen Siyuan asked one more question.

"Besides you and your sister, do you have an older or younger brother?"

"I have a younger brother." Talking about her brother, Meizi showed a happy smile.

"Does your brother live with you and your grandma?" Shen Siyuan continued to ask.

Meizi shook her head, then said, "My brother works outside with my parents."

Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan was silent, and Meizi looked at him somewhat apprehensively.

Finally, Shen Siyuan nodded, but then asked another question.

"Your sister, does she really want to find her parents, really want to go home?"

"Of course." Meizi answered without hesitation.

And she seemed very puzzled about why Shen Siyuan would ask such a thing; everyone has parents, everyone has a home, and they long for a home, long for their parents.

"Alright then, although I didn’t find the village and town you mentioned online, I have noted down all this information. I will ask someone to investigate, and there should be news soon." Shen Siyuan said.

"Can your phone access the internet?" Meizi suddenly asked.

"Of course."

"Then can you help me check if my parents are looking for me and Xingzi online? I heard people say that you can search for people on the internet, Xingzi also tried, but she forgot many things, so she couldn’t find them..." Meizi said expectantly.

"Okay, but it will take some time." Shen Siyuan said.

"It’s okay, I can wait, thank you, you are really a good person." Meizi said happily.

Seeing that her mood seemed much better and she had let down her guard, he asked, "Can you tell me more about Xingzi?"

Upon hearing this, Meizi became very vigilant.

"Why do you want to know about Xingzi?"

Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but smile: "You want me to help your sister, so I need to know whether she’s worth helping."

The reason Shen Siyuan said this was actually purely out of curiosity about how a young girl, without education or survival skills, could independently survive in this world.

Meizi seemed to agree with Shen Siyuan’s reasoning, and only then did she slowly start to talk about her sister.

"Xingzi is very smart, we never went to school before, didn’t know how to read, until we met that kind aunt who treated us well and sent us to school. The teachers taught us how to read, and Xingzi always learned very quickly..."

"Later, the aunt passed away from drinking poison, and Xingzi and I escaped. We met a kind scavenger grandma who took us in. Grandma knew how to read, not only taught us how to read but also how to do math. Xingzi always learned quickly, and Grandma said staying with her would delay Xingzi, so she sent her to someone else..."

"Grandma said I was too old, that people wouldn’t adopt a child like me, but it was okay, I was happy with Grandma. But later, Grandma got sick, and she said she wouldn’t live long, so she asked the police to send me to a rescue station..."

"The people at the rescue station asked the police to help find my parents, but they weren’t found for a long time, and the people there weren’t good, often bullying me, so I ran away..."

...

By the time Meizi reached this point, she was already a bit off-topic, but Shen Siyuan did not interrupt her.

"I found Little Sister, and she wasn’t happy there because the aunt who adopted her had a baby, so they didn’t like Little Sister anymore, and I ran away with her..."

"We tried to find the scavenger grandma again, but she wasn’t there anymore, don’t know where she went..."

"I had no money, so I took Little Sister back to the rescue station. Since we couldn’t find our parents, the rescue station sent Little Sister to someone else..."

"Everyone likes Little Sister..."

At this point, Meizi looked downcast, showing signs of sadness.

"That family didn’t treat Little Sister well at all, there was a fool in their family, who made Little Sister work every day and often beat her..."

"When I ran away from the rescue station and found her, her arms, legs, and butt were all bruised. I wanted to escape with Little Sister, but her stepfather found out. He and his foolish son beat us hard; I grabbed his leg, telling Little Sister to run away and never come back..."

"I... I don’t know what happened after that, everything turned out like this..."

"We don’t trust adults anymore..."

"Little Sister went back to the scavenger grandma’s place, collecting bottles and scraps, waiting for the scavenger grandma to return. Only the scavenger grandma treated us well..."

...

Meizi quietly narrated her story, while Dou Dou raised her head and cried loudly.

"Wah wah wah..."

She cried as she asked, "Is your sister a princess?"

Shen Siyuan couldn’t comprehend her train of thought.

Duoduo was also crying on the side, but she was much quieter.

"Oh~ oh..."

Tang Tang didn’t understand why the two of them were crying for no reason, sometimes wanting to wipe Dou Dou’s tears, other times tiptoeing to wipe Duoduo’s.

Finally, she even dragged Dou Dou to her beloved scooter, patting it to show that she could ride it and stop crying.

So, Dou Dou cried loudly while riding up.

Shen Siyuan: ...

"What’s going on here?" Taozi, who had come out of the house out of curiosity, asked.

Shen Siyuan waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.

He just wanted to inquire about Xingzi’s specific situation, but he didn’t expect Meizi to pour out so much.

"Have you ever thought about going to see Xingzi in person?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"I see her every day, I’m always with her." Meizi said.

"I mean, like them." Shen Siyuan pointed to Dou Dou and Duoduo.

Meizi glanced at the two, her expression a bit complex but quickly realized.

She cautiously asked, "You mean Little Sister can also see me?"

"Yes."

"And hear me speak?"

"Of course."

Upon hearing this, Meizi fell silent, staring blankly at Shen Siyuan without showing any sign of joy.

Shen Siyuan didn’t rush her, having gone through many experiences, he roughly understood her mindset.

She probably bore all the hardships her sister suffered on her own shoulders, feeling that everything was her fault.

If that morning she hadn’t agreed to go to the town with her sister, perhaps her sister would still be living with their grandma.

Shen Siyuan guessed correctly, Meizi was a girl with a strong sense of responsibility, which is why she ran away from the rescue station several times to find her sister, worried that she was suffering and unhappy.

Meizi stared blankly at Shen Siyuan for a long time, finally nodding slowly.

Shen Siyuan didn’t waste any more words, with a thought, he summoned the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, performed a sign with his fingers, and directly absorbed her into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
