“Linglong, your sister has just woken up. Don’t talk nonsense with her.” He Danping saw Xuanji’s pale face and hurriedly pushed the eldest daughter away from her. She sat down by the bedside with a bowl of medicine in her hand and softly said, “Come, drink the medicine first.”

Xuanji really didn’t have the energy to think about where it came from, so she threw away the broken wood and took her mother’s hand and took a sip of the medicine.

“Mother, it’s so bitter…” She frowned and acted like a baby.

Linglong smiled and gave her a couple of sugar pickled plums wrapped in paper, and she said, “I knew you were going to complain, here eat some plums. You’re such a little girl,” she said.

She put one in her mouth and held on to the front of the bed, smiling, “How is it? Is it sweet? I made it myself.”

Xuanji nodded: “It’s sweet…well, it’s just a bit too sweet…”.

She drank all the medicine in one go to save Ling Long from having to feed herself plums. I don’t know how much sugar she put into this pickled plum. It’s so sweet. And scary.

“Don’t even think about anything, go to sleep now.” Linglong was helping her to lie back down and arranging her blanket and pillow, just like an old mother.

Xuanji couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Ling Long, you look more and more like our mother.”

Linglong widened her eyes, “I’m your sister, so you have to listen to me. Good, go to bed. Try to get better soon.”

When she saw that her mother had gone out with the medicine, she took Linglong’s hand and said softly, “Are you alright? That man… didn’t hurt you?”

Linglong’s eyes turned red and she pouted, “I’m fine. What were you doing out there? You almost scared me to death…….”

She rubbed her eyes, drew back her tears, and said, “I’m much stronger than you. What’s so great about being stabbed with a sword. You’re so weak, and you’re still trying to be strong, and everyone is scared to death.I . . .we thought you were gonna die . . .”

As she was talking, she couldn’t help but cry in fear.

Xuanji didn’t say anything, she only touched her hand lightly, and after a long time said, “I don’t know what happened, but when I saw him stabbing you, I rushed to him. Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. Besides, I’m fine.”

“There is another time?!” Linglong glared at her, “No way! You’ve been sleeping for five or six days! Is it fine to sleep that long? Mother cried every day, and Aunt Hong and the others came to see you every day and were so worried.”

“Ah, I slept for five or six days? Xuanji couldn’t help but be shocked, she thought it was only a dream for a short time. The last time at Lutai Mountain, they said she slept for several days, but she didn’t feel a thing.

“Then… the Flower Hairpin Ceremony is over?”

Linglong nodded her head, “It’s over. That bastard fled after stabbing you with a sword. The Master of the Dianjing Valley was so embarrassed that all the disciples of the Valley withdrew from the competition. In the end, it was Brother Dianzheng of our school who won. He also won the day before yesterday against the Tengu, and the Island Master Dongfang himself pinned a peony flower for him.”

Xuanji sighed lightly, “I’m sure the process was very exciting… but I didn’t see it.”

“Who had the heart to see it? I didn’t see much either. I was here looking at you!” Linglong touched her head.

“Sifeng and the others… are all gone?” Xuanji asked again.

“He just left yesterday. He came to see you every day, but he didn’t come in. He just watched outside the door… You didn’t wake up, so he had no choice but to go back.” Ling Long paused and then said, “Si Feng was so worried about you, he even told us to remember to write to him when you are better.”

Xuanji closed her eyes and a faint sadness arose in her heart. She didn’t have time to say goodbye to him, and she’s sure he was very sad when he left, so even if she could write to him, she doesn’t know when they will meet again.

That young man with beautiful eyes is both proud and kind at the same time. What will the next time we see each other be like?

When Linglong saw her eyes closed, she thought she was tired, so she stood up lightly, intending to go out.

Xuanji suddenly pulled her sleeve and softly said, “Linglong, stay and talk with me for a while, okay? I slept for a long time and I can’t sleep now.”

Linglong sat back down and touched her forehead over and over again, sighing, “It’s okay to talk with you, but you’d better rest. This is the only way for the wound to heal quickly.”

She shook her head, “I don’t have any pain at all, but it’s just too wooden to move. Linglong, did Father and the others…….have any trouble with Dianjing?”

Linglong gnashes her teeth at the mention of Dianjing and says, “What unpleasantness! Dad was even laughing with them! I don’t know what he’s thinking! If it were me, I’d put a hole in each of their shoulders and make them feel what it’s like!”

Xuanji grabbed her hand and said, “Linglong, you’re always so impulsive. Listen to me, that Wu Tong has escaped and even if you see him again, you should not provoke him. I think he is a narrow-minded person who is not a good person. If he stabbed me this time, maybe he’ll kill someone else next time. We can’t entangle with this kind of person.”

Linglong said fiercely, “No! Are you going to let him go? I will practice hard, and if I see him in the future, I will remove his arms and take revenge for you!”

Xuanji sighed, but Linglong’s temperament was just like that, irritable. She simply kept her mouth shut and only said, “Anyway…….you should be careful.”

After they talked for a while, He Danping came back from the pharmacy and saw that they were still talking to each other, so she laughed outside the door and said, “Linglong, your sister is weak from injury, so don’t talk to her so much. Come out and let her sleep for a while.”

Ling Long agreed and put the hair on Xuanji’s cheek aside, saying softly, “Xuanji, rest well. In a few days, the other brothers will come to see you, and they will be very anxious.”

Xuanji nodded her head and finally felt tired, so she gradually fell asleep.

After a few days, her wound healed faster and faster.

When Chu Yinghong came to change her medicine and bandages, she found that the bloody hole on her shoulder had formed a new layer of skin and flesh, she smiled and said,

“Although this child is a little weaker, her wound is healing fast. A normal person would have to stay in bed for more than a month for this kind of injury.”

Xuanji tried to move her injured arm, but she felt her fingers were not moving very well, and she was shocked: “Aunt Hong, my hand seems to have been filled with lead. Did it hurt my muscles?”

Chu Yinghong said, “No, that sword stabbing was clever, but it didn’t hurt the tendons and bones. You’re lucky. It’s not completely healed now, but it will be fine once it’s healed. Don’t think too much.”

Xuanji nodded and was about to speak when Linglong smiled outside the window and said, “Aunt Hong, can we come in to see Xuanji? Everybody’s here!”

Chu Yinghong put on Xuanji’s clothes and then said, “Come in, don’t make too much noise. You little brats are always noisy.”

As soon as she said that, a group of people poured in, seven or eight, and all the brothers of the Min generation came. Linglong led them inside, rushed to the bedside and looked at Xuanji before saying, “We promise not to make any noise and never let my sister get tired.”

Chu Yinghong took out the hot water and the replaced bandage ointment, and said with a smile: “Well, let the place be for you little ghosts.”

As soon as they heard this, everyone “whooped” and gathered around the bedside to look at Xuanji, babblong in different voices, asking whether it hurt or not, and the room is very lively for a while.

Xuanji had never been treated so warmly since she was a child, and she was at a loss for words.

She was at a loss as to what to do. However, Du Minxing, a wise brother, hurriedly said, “Gently, gently, don’t scare the little sister. I told you not to all come together on one day!”

The second elder brother, Chen Minjue, smiled and said, “It’s only when we make up a day that we can have fun. It’s boring to be alone here, isn’t it, Little Sister? If there’s anything you want to eat or play, just tell Second Brother, I promise to help you.”

Everyone said, “Not again! She’s wounded. She can’t eat anything! Besides, you don’t have anything good there!”

But Minjue was not disturbed, and said, “How do you know that I am no good? What’s this?”

As he spoke, he took out a box from his sleeve, opened it, and there was a cylinder-shaped object inside, sealed in front and back with transparent glass.

He handed it to Xuanji and said, “Look inside this end.”

Xuanji looked at it as Brother Minjue said, but saw that although this thing was small, it had a lot of fancy things inside, colorful and bizarre. Every time she turned it, the scenery inside changed a bit.

Chen Minjue smiled happily, “This is called a kaleidoscope. Earlier I went down the mountain and an old man who sells strange goods gave it to me. How is it? It’s fun, right?”

When people saw Xuanji’s interest, they all took a look and shouted that it was interesting.

Chen Minjue was so proud of himself that he stood there, nodding his head.
