On the way Song Lin hurried quickly, without saying a word.
Noticing his abnormality, Song Wan Yue lifted the carriage curtain and poked her head out, “Father.”
“Hmm.”
Song Lin didn’t turn around.
This was very wrong.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Song Lin knew his daughter was still young and couldn’t possibly have anything with Gu Yi, but he just didn’t feel comfortable in his heart, but he didn’t want Song Wan Yue to notice and said, “Nothing, father just feels sorry for you after practicing martial arts all day, it must be very hard.”
“It wasn’t very hard, Master only let me run for ten miles, I was all sweaty and Sister Daya helped me take a bath.”
Hearing that she had run ten miles, Song Lin felt no more discomfort, “Are you tired? Have you got blisters on your feet? Didn’t I say I’d teach you martial arts? How come you’re still allowed to run?”
“Master said my body is too poor and I need to improve it, Father, what is wrong with you?”
“Father what’s wrong, you should lie down quickly and have a good rest.”
After saying that, Song Lin threw the whip a few more times and hurried even faster.
When he reached the door of the house, he put the reins directly on the horse’s back and insisted on carrying Song Wangyue inside.
Song Wan Yue couldn’t resist him, so she could only lie on his back. Song Lin quickly entered the courtyard, carried her back to the house, and put her on the bed, “Lie down properly, and later father will bring you rice.”
Song Wan Yue, ……
“Sister.”
When Song Lin went out, Erma came over and stood on tiptoe, saying mysteriously, “I’ll tell you something.”
Song Wangyue bent down slightly and also whispered, “You tell me.”
“Today, Second Uncle and Brother Song Si were almost hit by a horse-drawn carriage.”
Song Wan Yue’s heart sank slightly and she immediately went to Song Shu, “Second Uncle, what happened today?”
Even after more than half a day had passed, Song Shu’s heart was still palpitating and his voice was still shaking when he spoke of the carriage crashing over.
After hearing this, Song Wan Yue immediately thought of the Zhang family, if it was the Zhang family who had moved today, it meant that Zhang Huai had invited someone back.
She immediately twisted her head and headed out, walking to the courtyard and remembering that Gu Yi had said that thorough arrangements had been made, she stopped again and went back to the house as if nothing had happened.
As night fell, the family was asleep and Erma was breathing evenly, Song Wan Yue quietly got up, dressed and came out of the house, walked to the front door, gently opened the bolt and walked out.
There seemed to be a flash of a figure in the dark.
Song Wangyue closed the door with her backhand and lowered her voice, “Come out.”
There was silence in the darkness for a moment, and a figure came out, “Miss Song.”
Song Wangyue recognised him, it was one of the Gu family’s servants who had gone with them to the capital, and told him in a low voice that Song Shu and the two of them had almost been hit today, “If nothing else, the Zhang family will make a move in the next two days, so be alert.”
“Yes.”
After saying that, the boy retreated back into the shadows, Song Wan Yue also turned around and gently went back into the courtyard, inserted the latch and went back inside, just as she was about to lie down, she heard a faint sound and sat up again with a jolt.
It was silent outside, not a sound at all, as if the faint sound she had just heard was an illusion.
“Meow ……”
A cat yowl came in.
Song Wangyue lay back down.
……
The next day after breakfast, Song Wan Yue took Er Ya with her and rode with Xu to Dr. Yao’s side in the carriage driven by Song Lin, and took Er Ya to her courtyard while Dr. Yao was sticking needles into Xu.
“Sister.”
Er Ya caught a glimpse of Daya who was sweeping the courtyard and darted over to her.
Daya immediately threw away the broom in her hand and took her in her arms, unable to hide her joy, “Er Ya.”
“You will send her there in half an hour.”
After saying that, Song Wangyue exited the courtyard and went back to Dr. Yao’s side.
Song Lin stayed by Xu’s side, waiting for her to finish sticking the needles and pull her back.
Song Wangyue then went to the house to read a medical book.
When Xu had finished stitching the needles, Daya brought Erma back just in time. Both sisters looked very happy, especially Erma, who kept jumping with joy as she walked.
“Sister, can I come to see you more often from now on?”
Daya stroked her head, knowing that if she asked for it, Song Wangyue would bring Erma over every day from now on. But she couldn’t, once she formed a habit, Erma would miss it every day, “No, sister has work to do, she can’t stay with you every day.”
Er Ya was a little disappointed.
In the end, Daya couldn’t resist, “You can come over every few days.”
Erma was instantly happy again, happily getting into the carriage and waving her little hand.
When the carriage was far away, Daya looked at Song Wangyue gratefully, “Thank you.”
She knew from Erma’s mouth that her mother had gone to work in the workshop, and she also knew that Song Wangyue was teaching Erma to read and write, so that in future Erma would not be like her, not knowing a single big word.
After saying that, she blessed herself and turned around to quickly go back to the courtyard over there.
……
The next few days, Song Wangyue was busy as a spinning wheel, the art of healing was fine, she already knew it.
In the afternoon, it was a bit of a struggle. Master Chu had asked her to run 10 miles, to 20 miles, to 30 miles, in shorter and shorter times, and that was not all.
These leaves were marked by Master Chu and if Song Wan Yue did not pick the right ones, she had to go back and pick them again, and they grew in different places, so Song Wan Yue had to work very hard each time.
As more than half a month passed, Song Wangyue’s running speed became faster and faster, and the time it took to get to and from the hills became shorter and shorter, her physique became better and better, and she became thinner and thinner.
Not only was Song’s family distressed, but Gu Yi was also distressed and had the cooks cook different kinds of food every day.
On this day, just after noon, Master Chu came to Song Wan Yue’s courtyard and straight away ordered Daya to boil water.
Song Wan Yue did not know what to do, but Gu Yi realized what was going on, “Chu ……”
Master Chu’s cold voice, “Please ask Young Master Gu to leave!”
“Actually ……”
“If Young Master Gu doesn’t want her to suffer more, please also go out.”
Gu Yi looked at Song Wan Yue heartily and turned to go out.
Master Chu was brief and concise, “Starting today, you will be cleansed of your marrow, and in ten days, you will be able to cultivate your inner strength.”
After saying that, he turned around and went to the bathing room, Song Wan Yue also followed him.
Daya had already boiled the water and was bringing in a small bucket to pour into the bath.
Da Ya froze.
“Hurry up!”
Daya brought in two more buckets of hot water, Master Chu reached in and tested the temperature of the water, then pulled out a medicine bag and opened it, poured the medicine inside and gestured to Song Wangyue that she could wash.
Daya’s mouth grew in shock as she looked at Song Wangyue.
Song Wangyue took off her clothes as usual and lifted her feet into the bath.
“Yue ……”
Da Ya wanted to stop, the water was too hot, she would not be able to bear it, Song Wan Yue had already stepped in and sat down without hesitation, the hot water instantly scalded her skin red.
