He only felt his face getting
wet with tears, Jiang Xiaorou's tears.
She was shouting with all her
life, but Yi Yun could only vaguely see her mouth move. The voices were
stretched and unclear!
Yi Yun couldn't take this lying
down. With all his determination, he managed to move his stiff tongue to say,
"Lian… Lian Chengyu..."
Although Yi Yun's voice was not
clear, Jiang Xiaorou was able to decipher it, "Lian Chengyu? Lian Chengyu
harmed you?"
Yi Yun was already completely
unable to speak. He felt a cold corpse-like stiffness spreading towards his
heart.
If his heart were to stiffen
and stop beating, then his life would be over!
Yi Yun felt like a fish left
out to dry; neither could he move nor could he breathe. All he could do was
wait for death. Unexpectedly, just as the stiffness spread to his heart, he
sensed a cold feeling starting to develop.
This cold feeling was exquisite
and familiar. It was like pure spring water cleansing his body!
The Purple Crystal! Yi Yun
rejoiced! It was the feeling from the purple crystal. In the worst of times, he
would always feel the Purple Crystal!
The stiffness had already
permeated throughout his body, but when it reached his heart it met its
nemesis. He had always kept the purple crystal close to his heart inside his
clothes.
Just as the purple crystal
activated, Yi Yun felt a small whirlpool in his heart.
The tiny eddies may not amount
to anything, but… "Swish!"
A light sound rang. Without
struggle or suspense, Yi Yun felt his body go light; the purple crystal had
absorbed all of the energy permeating inside his meridians. The stiffness in his
body had disappeared.
Yi Yun knew he had now
completely recovered. He moved his four limbs and realized nothing was amiss.
He was only covered in sweat due to his nervousness.
Completely fine already? Yi Yun
could not believe it. He was fine again in less than a second once the purple
crystal activated!
This...
The purple crystal by Yi Yun's
heart made him speechless. What exactly was this purple crystal?
"Yun’er, how are you?
Don't scare Sis like this!" Jiang Xiaorou saw the originally stiff and
immobile body of Yi Yun moving again, but there was a silly look on his face.
She was extremely worried.
“I'm fine, Sis Xiaorou. I'm…
completely fine..." Yi Yun said just as he felt something amiss. As he
finished his last word, he felt something brew in his stomach.
"Eugh!" Without
warning, extreme nausea overwhelmed Yi Yun, making him vomit.
Previously, Yi Yun only vomited
gastric juices as his stomach was empty, but this time, it was different. He
had vomited out black blood clots which held a rancid smell!
This horrified Jiang Xiaorou.
In this strange world, vomiting was equivalent to declaring a death sentence.
Yi Yun kept vomiting without
stop. Besides vomiting he also perspired out smelly, sticky sweat, it resembled
black mud.
Seeing Yi Yun break out into
sweat and vomiting, Jiang Xiaorou was unfazed by the stench that filled the
house and scrambled to wipe Yi Yun's mouth and pat his back.
"Yun’er, Yun’er, don't
scare Sis. What happened to you? What happened?" Jiang Xiaorou's voice
trembled as she spoke.
Yi Yun did not have a chance to
respond until he finished vomiting out all the black blood. But weirdly enough,
he didn't feel weakened afterwards. Instead, he felt even better. Besides
having an empty stomach and being extremely hungry, he felt like he was
rejuvenated.
Yi Yun felt like he could eat
an entire roasted lamb and pig if they were placed in front of him.
"Sis, I'm fine. I'm just
hungry, and… I need a bath."
The sticky sweat had adhered to
his body like a sticky mud shell, it was indescribably uncomfortable.
"Yun’er, you are
hungry?" Hearing Yi Yun's words, Jiang Xiaorou was delighted. Since
ancient times, a measure of healthiness was the ability to eat.
No matter if it was the saying,
"Lian Bo is old, is his appetite the same as before?” or Zhuge Liang's
goal to deter the enemy by pretending to eat a lot, both made the point that
appetite was a mark of health.
This criterion was worthy of
being taken as a reference.
Jiang Xiaorou wiped her tears
and rushed to prepare food. While boiling the grain porridge, she also prepared
Yi Yun's bath water and cleaned up Yi Yun's vomit.
Yi Yun comfortably took a bath.
He had never felt better.
The strange thing was that
after his bath, Yi Yun felt like his eyesight had become even better. He could
clearly see the water droplets on trees about eight meters away.
Oh?
Yi Yun was slightly stunned,
but before he could think more about it, he heard Jiang Xiaorou shout,
"The porridge is ready, Yun’er, come have your meal!"
"Alright!" Yi Yun
could also smell the aroma of the grain porridge.
Weirdly, the grain porridge Yi
Yun had trouble swallowing in the past now tasted sweet and delicious.
Yi Yun finished two big bowls
of grain porridge, he even felt like the porridge got digested the moment it
entered his stomach. He was still hungry after finishing these two bowls of
grain porridge, but he now felt more rejuvenated and energetic.
"Yun’er, are you feeling
better?" Next to Yi Yun, Jiang Xiaorou was watching him without eating.
She had gained hope that maybe, Yun’er was actually better!
Jiang Xiaorou may not be a
doctor, but she knew that treatment was about ventilating the blood vessels.
Thinking carefully, Yi Yun
vomiting blood may have been a horrible scene, but he didn't vomit fresh blood
but black blood.
That might have been the
congested blood in Yi Yun's stomach. It might have been a good thing that he
vomited the congested blood.
Also, the layer of sweat on Yi
Yun's body was very dirty. Vomiting congested blood and dirty sweat, was this a
blessing in disguise for Yun’er?
"Sis, I am fine. Actually,
I have never felt any better..." Before Yi Yun could finish his sentence,
he felt a soft body embracing him
"It's great you are fine.
You scared Sis..." Jiang Xiaorou softly said. In this wilderness, rife
with killings, abuse and death, this brother-sister duo only had each other as
kin.
She tightly hugged Yi Yun,
afraid that the moment she released him, she would lose him again.
After hugging him for a long
time, Jiang Xiaorou wiped her tears away and carefully examined Yi Yun. After
she was satisfied with him looking alright, she said, "You previously
mentioned Lian Chengyu's name. Was Lian Chengyu the one who harmed you?"
Yi Yun hesitated for a while
before nodding his head, "Sis Xiaorou, I think Lian Chengyu has the hots
for you!"
Yi Yun's words made Jiang
Xiaorou blush. "You are still a child, don't speak nonsense."
It was indeed weird for a
twelve-year-old to say such words.
"Lian Chengyu, he's too
evil!" Jiang Xiaorou said while gnashing her teeth. She resented that Lian
Chengyu had harmed her brother, but she was powerless against him for he was
too strong. He had control over the entire warrior preparation camp. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com
"Peng!" Suddenly
there was a loud sound. Jiang Xiaorou jumped while turning around and saw the
yard door kicked open. A burly man had burst in…
