Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Yang Zhi and Su Hanxuan rushed out and saw Luan Hong carrying a child twitching and foaming at the mouth. Two nuns were helping at the side, but they were helpless when they saw the child.
“What should we do? Is there anyone who knows medicine?”
Luan Hong implored the nuns. The child, the benefactor, had saved with so much effort and must not have mishaps.
“Amitabha, Buddha is merciful!”
The Nun chanted the name of Buddha and walked over to look at the child in Luan Hong’s arms with a compa.s.sionate face. She first chanted a reincarnation spell to return to the unjust family who gave the child to the debt collector. Luan Hong was anxious to death. The child was burning so severely; what was the use of chanting scriptures?
After the Nun finished chanting, she said,
“When we’re sick, we drink fragrant ash water. With the blessing of Bodhisattva, we recover.”
After saying that, she instructed a little nun beside her,
“Dao Xin, go get some incense ash water.”
“No.”
Luan Hong couldn’t care less about her respect for the Nun and firmly refused. The child was so feverish. He would lose his life if he continued drinking the Fragrant Ash Water.
The Nun was very embarra.s.sed.
“We’ve all been through this when we were sick.”
“You’re all adults. How can such a young child endure it?”
Luan Hong angrily rebuked the Nun, but the Nun did not dare to say anything else. After all, the nunnery could last until now because of Second Master Su’s financial support.
“Xi’er knows medicine, but she didn’t come back.”
Su Hanxuan was extremely anxious. As long as he did not see his daughter return safely, he could not calm down. With his daughter’s medical skills, saving the child would not be a problem.
Second Brother, I’ll go and welcome Xi’er.”
Yang Zhi saw that Su Hanxuan was anxious and volunteered to go down the mountain to help Su Qing. Su Hanxuan gratefully held Yang Zhi’s hand and said,”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Yang Zhi nodded and strode out of the nunnery.
Yang Ruxue was worried about her daughter and refused to rest. Su Hanxuan put a cloak on her and stayed with her for their daughter to return. She stood at the door of the nunnery and waited.
No one noticed when Xiao Qi left?
Yang Rubing and Luan Hong took care of the sick child. Xiao Chen woke up crying in his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he reached out to touch Xiao Qi. When he couldn’t feel Xiao Qi, he sat up immediately. His two chubby hands rubbed his eyes and called out for his mother in a half-asleep state.
“Xiao Chen.”
Seeing that her nephew had woken up, Yang Rubing quickly went to take care of him. She and Luan Qingshan treated Xiao Chen like their own son.
Otherwise, Luan Qingshan would not have taken such a big risk to change the child’s birth characters, which would have caused him to be killed.
But Yang Rubing didn’t regret it at all. She only regretted not letting her sister and brother-in-law take Xiao Chen away earlier, causing the child to suffer so much!
“Aunt?”
Xiao Chen saw his aunt and happily pounced on her. He opened his chubby arms for her to hug. Yang Rubing picked the little guy up and kissed him.
“Eh, Gou ‘zi, Sanpang, Xiaoqiang, Huahua…”
There was an oil lamp in the room. Xiao Chen saw the children sleeping on the bunk and recognized the children who had been taken away together with him at a glance. He called their names happily.
In the morning, the nuns of the nunnery made a vegetarian meal. They brought a basin of white rice porridge and a plate of salted vegetables for the children to eat.
Xiao Chen took out the pastries left by Su Qing and gave them to the other children. He comforted the children crying for their parents and helped Yang Rubing and Luan Hong a lot.
Yang Zhi ran into Su Qing, who had returned from Luo City. Seeing that she had returned safely, Yang Zhi’s heart was finally at ease. He smiled and greeted her before Su Qing could call him Big Brother Yang,
“Eldest niece.”
Su Qing raised her eyebrows and smiled.
“It seems that you know?”
“I know. How was it? Did you encounter any danger?”
Yang Zhi asked with concern in the tone of an elder.
“It’s okay. There’s food in the carriage.”
Su Qing shook her head and opened the curtain to remove the steamed buns from the system with her mind before asking Uncle Yang to help carry them.
“It looks like it just came out of the pot.”
Yang Zhi was a little surprised to see the steamed buns that were still steaming. It was such a cold day, but the steamed buns didn’t get cold from Luo City to the mountains?
“Yes, kept it warm in the carriage. Let’s go up!”
Su Qing made a random excuse and walked up the mountain with the basket of steamed buns on her back. Yang Zhi s.n.a.t.c.hed it away.
“Let Uncle Yang carry it.”
Su Qing’s mouth twitched. Yang Zhi had adapted very quickly from Brother Yang to Uncle Yang.
On the way up the mountain, Yang Zhi asked Su Qing what she was doing.
Su Qing replied indifferently,
“I went to deal with some trouble.”
As for what trouble she had to deal with? Su Qing didn’t say a word about how she dealt with it.
When the two of them returned to the nunnery, Su Qing saw her parents standing outside, looking down the mountain from afar. The feeling of being remembered by her loved ones made her eyes swell and her heart warm.
Xi’er.”
Seeing her return, Yang Ruxue ran toward her daughter. Su Hanxuan was afraid that she would fall and protected her.
“Father, Mother.”
Su Qing’s indifferent face revealed a smile. She did not realize how sweet her voice was when she called out to her parents.
“Let Mother take a look.”
Yang Rubing touched Su Qing from head to toe, and after confirming that she was safe and unharmed, she hugged her.
“Mother was worried the whole night.”
“It’s your unfilial daughter who made father and mother worry.”
Su Qing apologized to her mother while Su Hanxuan said to his daughter lovingly,
“You’re not unfilial. Father and Mother are proud of you.”
Yang Rubing and Su Hanxuan blocked Xiao Qi. Su Qing saw Xiao Qi’s little white head pop up and disappear. She couldn’t help but laugh. She was jumping up and down, anxious to see her master.
“Xiao Qi, didn’t I ask you to protect Xiao Chen?”
However, she deliberately lectured Xiao Qi with a straight face. Xiao Qi blinked her big sparkling eyes and lowered her head guiltily. Her two chubby hands were facing each other uneasily as she said to her master in her heart,
“Xiao Qi Misses Master.”
“Don’t do it again.”
Su Qing’s heart ached when she saw the little fellow’s guilty look, but she still said something.
She had to let Xiao Qi realize her mistake. What if Xiao Chen was in danger while she was away?
“Got it.”
Xiao Qi nodded solemnly, her big eyes looking at her master, apologizing with a good att.i.tude,”
“Xiao Qi knows that she was wrong.”
Who wouldn’t feel sorry for such a cute and repentant baby? Su Qing went over and rubbed the little guy’s head. Xiao Qi’s big eyes lit up instantly, and she looked up at Su Qing with joy and admiration.
“Father, Mother, pack up. We have to leave immediately.”
Su Qing raised her head and looked at her father with a grave expression. She had calculated everything. When the bailiffs discovered that the prisoners and Zhizhou had disappeared and reported to the city guards, the city guards would seal the city and search. It would take at least two days to search the entire city. It would take a few more days to report to Prime Minister Wan and a few more days for Prime Minister Wan to send someone over. In other words, they would not encounter any obstacles when they returned to Mo City.
However, this was only a common sense a.n.a.lysis. What if the city guards had an idea?
“Alright.”
Su Hanxuan agreed with his daughter’s suggestion. They had to leave Luo City as soon as possible.
Luan Hong’s eyes were red as she walked out of Yang Ruxue’s room with a urinal in her hands. When she saw Su Qing standing in the courtyard, she excitedly threw the urinal aside and ran over..
