Chapter 254 - Shined like a Star

Jianjia tied two high braids and looked at the man uneasily and asked, “Master. It has been three days. Why isn’t this sister awake?”

There was still a little urgency and anxiety in her words.

The man looked at Jianjia who was anxious. He sighed softly, “Jianjia, I told you that whether you are studying medicine or martial arts, don’t be impatient. It is harmless to you. Do you forget it?”

Jianjia wittily looked at the man and spat out her tongue and said, “I see. Master. Don’t get angry.”

The man looked at Jianjia who was young and ignorant. The man could not help being in a trance.

He was probably impatient and eager for quick success and profits when he was as young as Jianjia. He didn’t understand his master’s painstaking efforts and teachings, and he just felt annoyed.

At that time, he never thought that one day he would experience this again. But his identity had been reversed.

However, the lover he missed had long disappeared.

He turned to look at the sleeping woman. There was a little sadness in his heart. He was never a kind person, and he would never talk to strangers.

But when he was picking herbs that day, he saw that the river was rushing with a touch of red, which was particularly conspicuous.

He was going to leave without thinking about it. But he still rescued the woman in a curious coincidence.

Jianjia looked at Bai Aoxue who was sleepy but murmuring, and she asked softly, “Master. Who is Jun Yeyan in this sister’s words? What she had been repeating these days was either Jun Yeyan or uncle. I wonder what happened to this sister’s home.”

As soon as the man heard her words, he slightly stunned. If the times had not changed, Jun was the Chengxi Dynasty’s national surname.

He thought that she had something to do with the royal family.

The man frowned slightly when he thought of this. What he hated most in his life was the people of the royal family. When he lived in seclusion with his master, he did not know love and hatred in the world.

But later, when he left his master and went out, he realized that his master had such a miserable life experience. And those pains were all given by Jun Wuhen. How could he not hate the royal people?

He hated who he used to be even more. He did not understand the sadness on his master’s face and casually asked, “Where is your family?”

The man looked at Jianjia and slightly said, “Jianjia, please stay here with her. She should be able to wake up in a short time. Her willpower is strong. She has survived the most dangerous moment. And now it is time for recovery.”

Jianjia looked at the man and asked questioningly, “What about you, master? Master, where are you going?”

The man explained slowly, “I’m going to the south mountain to collect herbs, and I won’t be back until the day after tomorrow. You have to take care of yourself. You should boil the medicine for the sister. Do you know?”

Upon hearing this, Jianjia could not help but curl her lips and said, “I know. Master. Come back earlier.”

The man nodded, picked up the bamboo basket on the ground, and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

But Jianjia didn’t leave at all and still took care of Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue woke up before the man left, but she just didn’t show it all the time.

Listening to the conversation between the two people, she also knew that she had been washed far away by the water of the Yanjiang River. Then she was saved by the master of this girl named Jianjia.

Although she didn’t know the reason, the man’s breath was confused for a moment when Jianjia mentioned the name Jun Yeyan.

This made Bai Aoxue doubt whether this man had a grudge against Jun Yeyan or the royal family.

Therefore, Bai Aoxue remained drowsy until the man left.

The slight movement of her fingers was seen by Jianjia’s sharp eyes.

Jianjia looked at Bai Aoxue who gently moved her fingers and said excitedly, “Oh, dear! Her fingers moved. Her fingers moved. Are you going to wake up?”

She had planned to go out and tell master, but then she thought that her master had left. She sat back in her chair and looked at Bai Aoxue for a moment.

Bai Aoxue slowly opened her heavy eyes. She could not adapt to the brightness at this moment. She could not help but close her eyes again and again before she adapted to the light.

Having been immersed in the darkness, she did not think that she would see the light again, which seemed to be like another world. She felt that it was precious inexplicably.

Bai Aoxue stared at the roof. Her sparkling phoenix eyes were in a trance.

Jianjia looked at Bai Aoxue who opened her eyes. She was a little speechless for a moment.

Although the sister looked beautiful when she was asleep, she did not expect that if this sister had not been covered with injuries when master brought her back, she would have thought that this sister was a fairy who had fallen to earth by mistake.

But at this moment, she looked at her gently opening her eyes as if the whole sky had been shining from the moment when she opened her eyes. She was so beautiful that she didn’t know how to describe it.

She shined like a star that her master told her. No matter where she was, she wouldn’t get lost.

At this moment, although the sister was injured, she could no longer hide her brilliance.

Jianjia opened her red lips slightly and looked at Bai Aoxue with an amazed expression.

Both of them didn’t speak, which made the room quiet.

Outside the window, they didn’t know what kind of bird was singing softly. Its voice was clear and vivid. Light fragrance of flowers accompanied by the grass was blown into the room by the breeze.

Instantly, it was so refreshing.

The absent-minded Jianjia regained consciousness and looked at Bai Aoxue who was looking at her with bright eyes and said a little shyly, “Big… Big… Big sister. Are you awake?”

The sister’s eyes were so beautiful that she dared not to look at her directly. She couldn’t help thinking to herself that she liked the beautiful woman in front of her even more.

This was the second person she had seen in her 11 years besides master.

Although she had her master as a companion and played with small animals in the mountains all day long, she also yearned for a floating life and wanted friends like herself.

But she understood that if she left here, it would mean that she had to leave her master. And she did not want to leave her master.

Her master was her only relative. She didn’t want to leave. But she yearned for a secular life.

Now she also saw a person from outside who was so beautiful. She was very happy.

And she didn’t yearn for the outside world anymore. This place was where she belonged.

Bai Aoxue looked at this delicate and lovely girl. She could not help but gently raise her lips and said with a smile, “Your name is Jianjia, isn’t it? Thank you for taking care of me these days.”

Although she had been in a coma these days, she still occasionally heard the girl’s voice and knew her name Jianjia from her conversation with her master.

Jianjia was a kind of plant which had strong vitality and was not afraid of wind and rain. It grew tenaciously.

Jianjia said softly with a red face, “You’re welcome. You’re welcome. It’s right to take care of you.”

She was shy, which made Bai Aoxue like her even more.

She folded her hands, looked at Bai Aoxue, and said, “Is there anything wrong with you? Big sister. Oh, yes! I’ll get you some medicine.”

She seemed to remember her master’s instructions and hurriedly went out to get some medicine again.

Bai Aoxue looked at Jianjia and smiled slightly.

She thanked the child and her master from the bottom of her heart. If her master hadn’t saved her, she might have been a lonely soul by now.

If Jianjia hadn’t taken good care of her, she might not have been able to wake up so early.

She knew about her own injury best.

She gently raised her hands as if she had been weighed down by a heavy load. And she had no strength at all.

When she relaxed at this moment, she found that she felt pain all over her body as if she had been crushed and reorganized.

Jianjia came in with the medicine carefully. As soon as she looked up, she saw Bai Aoxue reaching out her hand. She couldn’t help putting the medicine on the table and looking at Bai Aoxue, and she said, “What do you need? You can tell me. I’ll get it for you. Master told me that if you wake up, you should have more rest.”

When she was speaking, she put down Bai Aoxue’s raised hands and then helped Bai Aoxue sit up.

She carefully put a soft pillow on the back of Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue looked at such a considerate girl and said with a smile, “I just want to see if I can raise my hand so that I can know how long it will take to recover.”

As soon as Jianjia heard Bai Aoxue’s words, she was surprised and said, “Big Sister. Do you also know some medical skills?”

Bai Aoxue slightly said without a trace of pride, “Just a little. If you’re interested, I can teach you.”

If this sentence was heard in the 21st century by some people, they would be shocked beyond measure.

Bai Aoxue never taught her medical skills to anyone.

But Bai Aoxue now was so easy to say such words, and there was no false impression in her eyes.

On hearing this, Jianjia slowly shook her head and said, “Forget it. My master is also very good, but I am so stupid that I can’t remember the names of those herbs at all. It is impossible for me to study medicine, so I am trying my best to learn martial arts from my master.”

After saying, she also made a gesture of holding a long gun.

Bai Aoxue looked at her cute appearance and smiled softly. Looking at her smooth movements and powerful legs, she knew that she had done a lot of hard work in learning martial arts.

In the future, she would also have a great future.

She didn’t think much about the act of holding a long gun.

Bai Aoxue jokingly looked at Jianjia and said, “All right. Everyone has his own mind. Maybe in the future, you will become a famous woman in the world.”

As soon as Jianjia heard Bai Aoxue’s words, there was a lot of light in her eyes, and she said, “Big Sister. Please tell me something about the outside world. I’ve never been out of these mountains since I was a child.”

As soon as Bai Aoxue heard Jianjia’s words, Bai Aoxue was stunned and said with a smile, “Although the outside world is colorful, it is not as peaceful as here.”

Jianjia was too young to understand the deep meaning in Bai Aoxue’s words. She leaned her head in confusion.

Bai Aoxue looked at Jianjia and asked slowly, “Why doesn’t your master take you out?”

As soon as Jianjia heard Bai Aoxue’s words, she was a little frustrated and said, “Master told me that he would wait for his master to come back. He is afraid that if he leaves, his master won’t find him.”

Listening to Jianjia’s gentle tone, Bai Aoxue’s heart jumped fiercely.

She was about to speak, but Jianjia was pleasantly surprised and said, “By the way, my master also had told me what you said just now.”

Bai Aoxue smiled as soon as she heard what Jianjia said. And Jianjia also brought the medicine to Bai Aoxue.

“The medicine is not too hot. Big sister. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Bai Aoxue took the medicine bowl and said lightly, “Thank you.”

Looking at Bai Aoxue drinking the medicine without frowning, she admired and said, “Big sister. You are so good. Such bitter medicine can be drunk at once.”

Jianjia seemed to think of something and looked at Bai Aoxue questioningly and said, “By the way, big sister, who is Jun Yeyan?”
