Chapter 309 Complete Recovery
It was not until the next morning that Shen Li tried it out and found that his body had recovered to a large extent. He stretched his hands and feet a few times and prepared to get off the carriage.
Chu Qiu and two other maids waited busily beside the carriage, their eyes filled with concern and worry, always on guard, afraid that after lying in bed for so long, she would suddenly lose her balance and suffer an accident. After all, she had been lying there for four years.
Shen Li did not let them support her, and walked down the carriage steadily on her own.
Many of the guards had been personally instructed by Shen Li. When they saw her get off the carriage, they straightened their backs, saluted respectfully, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the county lady on her recovery! Congratulations to the county lady on her recovery!"
Shen Li looked around at them, only to see tears glistening in their eyes, their expressions filled with admiration and loyalty as they looked at her. She smiled and waved her hand, saying softly, "Thank you all, thank you for always being by my side all these years!"
A tall, handsome guard said shyly, "Back then, we were just a few beggars wandering the streets. If it weren't for your kindness, Miss, who took us in, taught us to read and write, and taught us martial arts, and who never criticized or demanded anything from us, we would have followed you forever and protected you!"
The others also shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow Miss forever and protect her!" The voice was uniform and loud, echoing in the air for a long time, full of their sincere loyalty to Shen Li.
Shen Li was filled with relief, as she knew that all her past efforts and hard work had not been in vain. Of course, she always had her own considerations in doing things and never did anything meaningless.
She looked around and asked softly with a knowing look on her face, "Did my dad and the others go fishing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yu, who was not far away, came over hurriedly with a wooden barrel in his hand.
He casually threw the barrel aside and ran towards Shen Li with a look of surprise on his face, shouting excitedly as he ran: "Ali, you can actually get off the carriage, you really recovered!"
Shen Li had a faint smile on her lips and stared at him quietly.
Shen Yu sped along, and when he got close, he suddenly stretched out his hand, as if wanting to embrace the girl in front of him. But just as his hands were about to touch Shen Li, he seemed to suddenly realize something and stopped moving. He just raised his hand and scratched his head awkwardly, a blush spreading across his face, and he stammered, "A-Li has grown into a grown-up girl."
Shen Li understood, but didn't care at all. Instead, she took the initiative to step forward, hugged him tightly, and said with a bright smile: "Brother Yu, it's okay. Brothers and sisters can also use hugs to express their friendship."
Shen Yu lowered his head slightly, his eyes gently falling on the top of Shen Li's head. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stretched out his arms and hugged her back tightly.
But at this moment, a bitter ripple quietly arose in his heart, and he thought to himself: I am afraid that in the future, I will never be able to hug this girl as unrestrainedly as before. From now on, I can only stay by her side as a brother.
Shen Li raised her head, her eyes sparkling with a playful glint, and said to Shen Yu, "Brother Yu is already seventeen years old now, and he's getting taller! But I don't seem to have grown much, I'm still so short."
Shen Yu reluctantly let go of her, his lips curled up in a warm smile, and jokingly said, "You're not short now, it's just that I've grown too tall."
Chuqiu and the other maids and servants couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes as they looked at the young lady who had recovered her health and became lively again.
