Chapter 278 - Watch the Stars (1/2)
Ye Xiaoxian walked towards Xiao Baoshan‘s yurt unconsciously.
Halfway through, however, she suddenly stopped.
She felt that she was being silly. They had been silent for so long that they had already gotten used to it. And now she tried to please him?
No, she shouldn’t take the initiative.
Just at this moment, Doctor Xiao brewed a bowl of medicine for Xiao Baoshan and sent it to his room.
Ye Xiaoxian stopped and went back to her own yurt.
……
At this time, Jin Xiaoyu was inside her yurt. She lifted the curtain and looked up at the starry sky.
The sky was beautiful, even more beautiful than the one in the desert.
The night of the desert had nothing else besides the stars and the boundless desert. But here, there were also meadows, snowy mountains, and the unknown flowers and plants on the meadows, as well as rivers.
“Sis, what are you looking at?” Little Xun climbed over and sat with Jin Xiaoyu.
“The stars.”
Then, Little Xun also looked at the stars and blinked, “Sis, my mom said that after one dies, he will become a star in the sky.”
Jin Xiaoyu smiled. “Your mom lied to you. If such a beautiful starry sky was filled with dead people, how terrifying would it be?”
Little Xun s.h.i.+vered.
Jin Xiaoyu chuckled again. “Alright, your mom will definitely be watching you from the sky. She might not be a star, but she knows what you are thinking and doing. You have to be a very great child in the future and try not to make your mom disappointed, okay?”
Little Xun nodded, but his eyes were filled with tears.
Jin Xiaoyu added, “You’re a strong man. You have to learn to grow up alone in the future. Don’t cry so often. If others bully you, you have to fight back. Don’t be a doormat. I don’t like doormats.”
Little Xun nodded again and asked Jin Xiaoyu, “Sis, where are your parents?”
“My parents? They probably died long ago. For a long time, I had grown up alone. Later, I met my master, but he also pa.s.sed away. Since then, I had become all alone.”
“Sis is so brave,” Little Xun said with admiration.
“Well, in the future, you should be better off than I am because there are people who want to protect you, so you will definitely be safe and sound. At least, you don’t need to worry about food and clothing. But you can’t be too lazy, either. You have to help others. Don’t make people think that you are a playboy that does nothing besides sleeping and eating.”
Little Xun asked, “Sis, are you leaving?”
Otherwise, why is she handing over so many things?
Jin Xiaoyu smiled. “Where can I go? You’re still here. But one day I will eventually leave, so you have to be prepared. When you grow up and become a great man, don’t forget about me.”
Little Xun leaned his head against Jin Xiaoyu’s lap. “Sis, don’t leave me. I only have you now. You are the best person to me.”
Jin Xiaoyu stroked his head and continued to look at the starry sky.
She wanted to leave, but couldn’t bear to do so. Little Xun still needed more time to get used to it.
……
After taking the medicine, Xiao Baoshan fell asleep.
But he woke up in the middle of the night.
After waking up, he was still sweating.
Doctor Xiao’s treatment was very effective. He could remember more and more things recently, including his past on the battlefield.
He always dreamed of those who died-the way they died, those who protected him and blocked the sword for him.
In half of the year since the tragedy, he had always wanted to end his life. But later, he changed his mind. He wanted to go back to figure out exactly what had happened, so he could take revenge for them.
However, the Imperial Court had been begging for peace after that and he had no chance.
Now that he had lost his memory but finally remembered those things, he felt like they just had happened yesterday, as if the faces of the brothers, with blood all over, were right before him.
