Chapter 61: Hidden Dragon, Shui Qinghan!
Shui Qinghan is the older brother of Shui Qingrou.
Their mother died in childbirth when Shui Qingrou was born, and their father, the best hunter in the village, fell into depression, becoming a lazy drunkard.
A few years later, their drunken father got into a fight with a drunkard from the neighboring village, and both fell into the river, becoming water ghosts...
From then on, the two siblings, not yet ten years old, began to rely on each other for survival and lived a very difficult life.
While others had carefree childhoods, for the siblings it was a long, perilous journey...
As the older brother, Shui Qinghan always protected his sister since they were young. Although he was quite ordinary himself, he would stand in front of his sister bravely against any danger.
The petty thefts they committed for survival brought countless beatings, but he bore them alone.
For instance,
when the owner of the sweet potato field came with a stick, he would desperately hold onto the man’s leg to buy time for his sister, covered in mud and holding sweet potatoes, to escape, while he was beaten black and blue.
Or,
when the watchdog guarding the fruit lunged at them, he would protect his terrified sister under him, as pieces of bloody clothing were torn from his backside...
