C86 Hard journey

In that short moment, Bai Xian experienced the joy of reuniting with his mother, and also experienced the pain of being separated from his younger brother. She looked at Bai’s mother and Shen Yunqing, who were not in a good mental and physical state, and said to Lan Shi: "Miss Lan, I'll go buy a carriage. My mother and Yun Qing both don't know how to ride."

Allowing Bai Xian and the others to stand in the shade, Lan Shi quickly drove the carriage back, followed the three of them and headed towards Luo City. She affectionately pulled down the curtain, giving Bai Xian and the other two a chance to get together.

The Bai’s mother's body was slightly unwell. Bai Xian hurriedly let the Bai’s mother lie down on the horse carriage, but she did not expect Lan Shi to buy a few blankets, so she covered the Bai’s mother with them and only asked Shen Yunqing about what had happened recently. "Yun Qing, what happened? How did you two become like this? "

She held Bai Xian's arm and said: "Big Sis Bai Xian, that night, you let me bring everyone away, but who would have thought that the soldiers took advantage of the darkness to leave the group. Later on, we were almost discovered by the enemies, and while escaping, I grabbed my aunt's hand. When we arrived at the bright place, we realized that Little Xiu wasn't with us."

Bai Xian had no way to blame Shen Yunqing. She understood that Shen Yunqing must have accompanied her all the way Bai’s mother these days to take care of him, hoping that he would escape to a safe place. She would continue to ask Shao Yue to help her find her brother's whereabouts.

Looking at the guilty Shen Yunqing, Bai Xian comforted, "Yun Qing, thank you. For the past few days, you have accompanied my mother by her side.

Shen Yunqing saw that Bai Xian did not have the slightest intention to scold him, and felt even worse: "Sister Bai Xian, I failed to live up to your request, and even lost Xiao Xiu. It's all my fault."

Bai Xian wrapped his arm around Shen Yunqing's shoulder and said sincerely, "Alright Yun Qing, Little Xiu is my little brother and you are also my little sister. I know you have already done your best, there's no need to blame yourself anymore."

Shen Yunqing didn't think that Bai Xian really didn't blame herself, and tears of excitement immediately flowed down. She leaned on Bai Xian's shoulder and cried softly, only stopping when tears had seeped into Bai Xian's clothes.

Because they were with and the Bai’s mother, Bai Xian's group could only sit in the carriage and head towards the Luo City. They had no choice but to take the carriage but to walk along the official road, and naturally it was not as fast as when Bai Xian and Lan Shi were riding horses before.

Counting today, which was already the sixteenth day since Bai Xian left the Shao Mansion, they stayed in Yi County today. When they arrived at the inn, Bai Xian immediately asked the owner if he could come and get a medicine pot for the Bai’s mother.

Shen Yunqing helped Bai’s mother to return to his room to rest while Lan Shi went to buy food. Bai Xian squatted by the water vat in the backyard and looked at the stove and medicine pot in front of him.

Although he never expressed concern for Bai Xiu in front of Shen Yunqing and the Bai’s mother, Bai Xian had actually been thinking about how to reclaim his lost brother. Fortunately, the Bai’s mother was not like the ancient parents who valued their sons and daughters, who treated boys as part of their clan, whereas the girls didn't care.

Bai Xian thought, if this had happened to another ancient woman, she might have killed herself the moment she threw her son out. Luckily, Bai’s mother did not completely lose her confidence in living.

But where would the separated Bai Xiu go? Bai Xiu knew how to write and he also knew some martial arts, he had a lot of silver notes on him, but in the end, he was just a ten-year old child, it would be difficult for him to protect himself.

She was deep in thought while she was brewing the medicine, and in a moment, she was already flying away. It was only when Bai Xian's gaze suddenly swept over the medicine jar that she remembered that she was still brewing the medicine. She quickly picked up the lid.

Bai Xian hurriedly carried the medicine up the stairs, completely unaware that at this moment, she was sitting on a handsome horse that was galloping past the inn's entrance, looking for her for a long time.

Shen Yunqing was helping the Bai’s mother apply the handkerchief, when Bai Xian walked in and asked: "Is my mother still having a fever?"

Shen Yunqing tested the temperature of the Bai’s mother's forehead, and conveniently changed a new handkerchief: "The temperature dropped a bit, but it was still a bit hot, do you want to call her to drink the medicine now?"

Bai Xian went over to Bai’s mother and looked at his red-hot face. Her eyes stung and she gently helped him sit up: "Mother, come up and drink some medicine. Eat some food after you're done."

Bai’s mother opened her eyes tiredly. These few days, she slept on the carriage and at night, she slept at the inn. She rarely woke up, but she still felt that her whole body was exhausted, as if there was a huge rock pressing on her body.

Bai Xian brought a bowl in front of Bai’s mother, and patiently fed the medicine to him bit by bit. Shen Yunqing brought a few pastries with light taste, which Bai’s mother barely ate before falling asleep again.

Looking at the Bai’s mother which had not improved at all, Shen Yunqing said to Bai Xian: "Big Sis Bai Xian, how many days do we have to go to Luo City? Why don't we let this aunt recuperate before we head out? "

Bai Xian did not want to delay the matter with Shao Yue because of him, if Shao Yue wanted to ask him for some advice during these few days in Luo City, what would he do? After all, he did not have the time to inform of his plans, so he just left by himself, "But I do not have much time, if we travel like this, it will be three or four days before we reach the Luo City.

Since Bai Xian had already made the decision, Shen Yunqing did not know what else to say. She worriedly looked at the unconscious Bai’s mother on the bed, and did not know when her aunt's illness would recover.

Lan Shi, who had brought food back, knocked on the door. "Miss, Yun Qing, come and have some food."

Bai Xian pushed Shen Yunqing away, "Yun Qing, you go first, I'll stay with mother for a while." Bai Xian sat on the side of the bed, looking at his mother. She held onto his mother's hand and whispered: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely find Little Xiu. You must get well as soon as possible, otherwise Little Xiu will worry too."

These words seemed to both comfort Bai’s mother and herself, but Bai Xian truly believed that he would definitely be able to find Bai Xiu, and hoped that Bai Xiu would take care of himself before meeting them again.

Lan Shi called Bai Xian over for dinner. "Miss, I'm here to take care of Auntie, you can go eat something first."

Bai Xian reluctantly walked out of Bai’s mother's room and went next door. Seeing a few dishes on the table, Shen Yunqing was currently sitting on a chair in a daze. She stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Shen Yunqing: "Yun Qing, why are you daydreaming?"

Shen Yunqing regained his senses, he then picked up a piece of oil cake and placed it in Bai Xian's hands: "Sister Bai Xian, quickly eat something, can you tell me what the Luo City looks like?"
