Chapter 2407 Lin Xiaâs Past
Everyone will die.
The question is when and how.
Nan Hua thought about this and silently left. She didnât want to disturb Lin Xia any longer. Her relationship with her senior sister was actually not that good as they had only met each other once before.
And today, Lin Xia taught Nan Hua many things.
She also left something for her senior sister.
âHmm.â
Lin Xia opened her eyes and looked at the table in front of her. Beside the tray where she had her teapot, she noticed a small pouch. The corner of her lips curled up slightly because she could guess that those were left by Nan Hua. There was truly no need for this.
Nan Hua should have guessed that she would not be willing to accept it, so she handed it to her through this method.
In this way, if she didnât want it, she could throw it away directly.
What a troublesome girl.
âSister, are you alright?â At this moment, Lin Miao came out and looked at ber sister worriedly. Lin Miao had similar countenance with Lin Xia but she looked far younger and a bit plumper. It was clear that she was living a good life with her husband.
After all, in this war torn era, there were many people who couldnât eat enough and had to scrape for food.
But Lin Miao was able to eat until she was a bit fatter.
Compared to many people who was so skinny that it was hard not to see their bones, she looked much better.
âDonât worry, Iâm fine,â Lin Xia shook her head and then said, âHelp me to water the plants?â
Lin Miao looked at her sister helplessly and nodded. âAlright, Sisterâ
Lin Xia watched as Lin Miao worked hard to water the plants and her eyes lose focus for a moment. The conversation with Nan Hua somehow made her remember the time before she met with Traveling Doctor Liu.
*A few decades prior*
The Lin Family has the rules that the children and the younger generation had to consume poison ever since they were young to increase their immunity. Only the children who could pass the test would be able to stay in the Lin Family and those who couldnât were all discarded and used for various things.
Even the people who could stay were all selected to continue their study had to show their talents for both learning and also able to survive in this environment.
It was very harsh.
Lin Xia managed to survive but not without suffering. There were many days when she couldnât fall asleep, tortured by pain because of the poison, but she still has to memorize countless herbs and so on.
The study will start after they were four to five years old. Before that, they had to learn how to read and write first, which was usually done slowly.
After all, without being able to read and write, it was impossible for them to study the medical books.
For years, Lin Xia continued to live in that way.
Her parents were also of the Lin Family and followed the rules strictly. Looking at the solemn atmosphere of the Lin Family, Lin Xia knew very well that the entire Lin Family was indeed like that.
Only those who were more talented could survive and everyone had to follow the rules.
Once they were found not following the rules or something else, they would be punished heavily.

Lin Xia was raised in that situation.
Ever since she was young, she had watched ber cousins dying in front of her one by one. They couldnât withstand the poison invading their bodies and their immunities didnât catch up, resulting in their death.
Their parents were all numb and looked cold.
Even Lin Xiaâs parents were the same.
Everyone has slowly gotten used to this situation. As long as they didnât manage to become the elder, their condition would never improve and they would stay at the very bottom of the food chain.
When Lin Xia was 10 years old, her younger sister was born and her mother passed away.
Because of the long term consumption of poison, Lin Xiaâs motherâs body was weak and she couldnât survive after giving birth. And it was their father who took care of both of them at the beginning.
When her younger sister, Lin Miao, started to grow, the Lin Family rules made her had to start building more poison resistance.
But Lin Miaoâs body was not as strong as Lin Xia.
There were many times when Lin Miao suffered more than Lin Xia and coughed up blood when she was only 4 years old, making Lin Xia distressed. She used her medical skills to help I in Miao a bit, but she couldnât purge the poison out.
Because if she did, Lin Miao would only suffer more.
If Lin Miao wanted to survive, she had to build enough immunity on her own and only then would it be possible for Lin Miao to survive.
Otherwise, there was nothing to talk about.
So back then, Lin Xia couldnât help his sister much.
Lin Xia could still remember the day when the four year old girl fell into coma and Lin Xia completely panicked.
âMiaoâer! Miaoâer! Wake up, come on, you can withstand this,â the young Lin Xia called out for her sister, but the young Lin Miao was still asleep.
No matter how many times Lin Xia called out, Lin Miao never responded.
Lin Xiaâs father stood at the side, watching his two daughters and his expression remained indifferent. In this kind of family, what kind of affection can he truly have? The marriage was nothing more than to expand the Lin Familyâs blood.
It would be good if the children could survive by themselves, but he would not want to put in more efforts in it.
Because in his opinion, there was no point to do this.
âFather! Miaoâer is sick, I⊠weâŠâ Lin Xia looked at her father worried but what greeted her was her fatherâs cold gaze.
