What should I do if I lose my memory after transmigrating into a book?

Chapter 128 Brother, Seeking Shelter from the Rain

Braving the autumn wind, Shen Xi returned to her home, which was overgrown with weeds. She plopped down on the bed, which was as hard as iron, and thoughtfully glanced under the bed while resting her chin on her hand.

Is this a parallel world, a world that once had Jiang Ci and Bai Susu?

In any case, there must be a reason why she came here. Originally, it was thought that she had been banished to this world, but now it seems... that's not entirely the case.

It seems it's still related to Jiang Ci.

Shen Xi, with drooping eyelids, suddenly clicked her tongue softly.

Men are indeed a menace.

But she seems to want this scourge in this world now.

……

Jiangjia

The Jiang family has been in complete turmoil lately. Jiang Ci was inexplicably abducted from Yunxiaxiang to the mountains when he was young. The Jiang family searched for him in vain, and in the end, it was a boy three years older than him who brought him back.

The worst part is that the family's most precious child is now vomiting everything he eats, and tests have revealed that he has a history of poisoning.

And then there's the most crucial, and worst-case scenario: the young prince can no longer speak!

In the large, exquisite room on the second floor,

Hua Lan wiped away her tears and hugged her obedient, taciturn son. Looking into the child's beautiful, glassy eyes, she coaxed him softly, "Xiao Ci, look at Mommy, Mommy's here. Look, this is your room, do you remember it?"

Many people were hiding outside the house, not daring to come in for fear of frightening the child, but they were all craning their necks and listening to the sounds coming from inside.

Old Master Jiang glanced at his son, who was anxiously pacing ahead, and sneered inwardly. People are always greedy. His son wanted to advance his career and also wanted a stable family. Where in the world can you find so many good things?

But the current turmoil has exceeded the old man's expectations.

Jiang Hui's face was half red and bright, which was frightening. Ever since Jiang Ci was found and turned into a delicate but lifeless doll, Hua Lan was coaxing him inside, while he was slapping himself outside.

Even now, the child still cannot speak.

He slumped against the white wall, his wife inside heartbroken, his son mentally unstable, and he was now utterly powerless to help.

Nothing could be more heartbreaking than this.

This farce lasted for a week, until one day...

That day, a torrential downpour began.

Xiao Jiangci sat on the stool, surrounded by the Jiang family. The whole family was chatting noisily, but they were all watching the indifferent child with intention or unintention.

Suddenly, Xiao Jiangci looked at the heavy rain outside the door and said in a daze, "Take shelter...take shelter from the rain."

His voice was very soft, as if it were a sound squeezed out with great difficulty; it was very small, but enough for everyone present to hear.

These words struck like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, instantly creating a ripple effect and silently hitting the hearts of the Jiang family.

Jiang Hui wiped his eyes in disbelief, his gaze fixed on his son. He stood up, reaching out to hug him, but hesitated and pulled back halfway.

"Xiao Ci... what... did you say?"

He quickly realized his son had spoken and immediately tried to coax him to speak again.

"Dad didn't hear you clearly. Could you say it again for Dad?"

Xiao Jiangci pursed his lips, his face turning pale with worry. His small eyes were fixed on the window, filled with anxiety. Finally, under the expectant gaze of his family, he managed to utter one more sentence.

"Hiding from the rain, brother..."

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Having said that, among the Jiang family's group of shrewd individuals, who wouldn't guess that it was because they had been wandering for so long that they would instinctively call for their companions to take shelter when they saw heavy rain?

A glint flashed in Old Master Jiang's old eyes. He stood with his hands behind his back, facing his young grandson, his aged voice gentle.

"Does Xiao Ci want to see her brother?"

Xiao Jiangci caught the keyword in his mind, and as if a button had been pressed, he immediately raised his head, staring at his grandfather with his big, bright eyes without blinking.

Yeah, do you know where it is?

The old man saw the meaning in his young grandson's eyes and finally burst out laughing.

Jiang Hui was somewhat unwilling to let the child ignore him and go straight to the old man, so he forcefully pushed the old man away, his handsome and dashing face full of ingratiating eyes as he looked at little Jiang Ci.

"Xiao Ci, say something to your father, okay? If you say something, I can find out where your brother is this afternoon, alright?"

The old man snorted coldly as he was pushed away.

Useless stuff, yet the old man has to personally handle it.

Xiao Jiangci's delicate eyebrows furrowed slowly, as if he were weighing the truth of those words.

But finally, after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said, word by word,

"Looking for my brother."

Okay, that counts as a sentence.

Jiang Hui immediately compromised, patted his son's thin back with a smile, and prepared to get things done.

When General Jiang takes charge, one is worth two.

In less than an hour, Shen Xi's whereabouts were found out.

—In Yunxia Xiang.

This place is loathed by the entire Jiang family.

This is the place where Jiang Ci was once abducted.

After discovering that the people in Yunxia Xiangli had kidnapped Jiang Ci, the Jiang family remained silent about the place. As a result, when government officials approached the Jiang family this year to discuss sponsorship, Jiang Hui didn't even give them a meeting.

Whether you call it taking it out on someone or feeling frustrated, the bottom line is that they hate hearing anything about this place right now.

However, when Jiang Hui returned to the hall with a somber expression, Xiao Jiangci's eyes followed his movements, filled with pleading and hope.

Jiang Hui fell silent. He had hurt the child once; did he have to hurt him a second time?

He couldn't help but wonder if he was fit to be a father.

Hua Lan, who was standing to the side, seemed to understand something from her husband's silence. She gently comforted him, "Don't worry so much. The child is still waiting for your answer."

Looking at his wife's serene face and his child's eager eyes, Jiang Hui nodded resignedly and replied, "That boy is in Yunxiaxiang now."

Xiao Jiangci blinked almost imperceptibly through his lowered eyes, revealing a hint of joy and obsession.

I'm going to find my brother again.

With just a glance from the child, Jiang Hui knew what he had to do, and he sighed softly.

It would be best to have the feng shui of Yunxiaxiang checked.

He looked into the child's tear-filled eyes and immediately softened, saying, "Daddy will take you to see your brother in the next few days."

This is when a pleasant surprise occurs.

Xiao Jiang immediately blurted out, "When?"

He needs a specific time.

"Tomorrow at the latest."

Hua Lan stared at her husband with lingering fear, but Jiang Hui explained to his wife more gently, "It's good that there's still hope in the child's eyes."

Being born into the Jiang family means he doesn't need to be successful in the future. Even if Jiang Ci spends all his time eating, drinking, and having fun, it'll be enough for him to live a lifetime.

Xiao Jiang immediately ran upstairs, picked out a few clothes and hugged them to his arms, as if he wanted to take something with him.

The Jiang family members downstairs had different expressions.
