Lin Qian open her eyes very slowly, and she observed the area around her. She the jolt up, but felt pain everywhere on her body. She still looks around her in alarm. Just at that moment, Zhi Xiang came in. She was carrying a small bowl of medicine. When she saw Lin Qian she almost dropped the bowl.
"A'Yue! A'Yue!"Zhi Xiang called out.
Jiang Yue came rushing in. She looked at Lin Qian and walked over to her. "You are safe. No need to be scared." She took the medicine from Zhi Xiang's hand and gave it to her. "Drink it. Since you can still move around then it good enough."
Lin Qian didn't know these people, but they didn't feel like bad people. So she took the small bowl and drank the medicine in one go. Lin Qian almost gag because the medicine tasted very bitter, and felt a bad taste in her mouth. Jiang Yue smiles calmly and took her pulse.
"A'Yue... I will go get another bowl of medicine," Zhi Xiang said. She took the bowl and left the room.
Jiang Yue look at Lin Qian who was still tense and stiff. "You can calm down. There is no danger here." Lin Qian didn't notice that she was stiff until Jiang Yue had reminded her. "I am Jiang Yue. A small doctor who lived in the mountain and just save people as they pass. What about you?"
Lin Qian was pondering if she should tell her or not. She then opens her mouth. "I am Lin Qian-"
She felt pain on her face as she spoke. "Your face has a scar on it. The scar is very deep, and... I can't do anything about it..."
Jiang Yue felt helpless. She wasn't as good as her grandfather. He was one of a kind. He could heal anything, but she had only received half his skill. She couldn't even erase her scar.
"It fine... I am okay... this scar will... make me remember... that... I am..."Lin Qian didn't finish her sentence, but Jiang Yue understood her.
At that moment, Zhi Xiang entered with the same bowl of medicine. Lin Qian stared at the medicine with a hateful glare. Zhi Xiang was scared because she thought that Lin Qian was glaring at her.
***
Lin Qian recovered quite fast for a person who was poisoned and was near death. Jiang Yue stilled wanted to check her progress, but Lin Qian wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Jiang Yue give her a veil, one small jar, and then one container. "The jar has pills for when your poison acts up. When it does you can't breathe, and your vision will disappear. The container is for your scar so it doesn't get infected. Apply it every day. The veil is for when you want to cover your face. Also when you want to come back don't hesitate when you ran out of medicine came back for more. And-"
Long You pulled her arm back, "YueEr I am sure Lin Qian wants to leave. Lin Qian farewell." Lin Qian wasn't offended by his coldness. He never treats anyone other than Jiang Yue good from what she had observed from her days here.
She was surprised by Jiang Yue though. Jiang Yue was someone who was a few words. She didn't speak much unless it had to be concerned about the person's life. However, at this moment she kept talking non-stop.
Zhi Xiang, was by the side, smile," Lin Qian be safe, and you are welcome to return anytime."
Lin Qian nod at them They have already done more than enough for her. They had saved her life from death and had helped her recover regardless if she was bad or good. She was grateful to them. "Thank you for your kindness and hospitality for the past few days."
Jiang Yue was thinking if she had left anything else out. She then smiled, "Farewell Lin Qian... I hoped you can live well before then..."
Lin Qian smile bitterly. She had poison in her body that couldn't be removed, and so it had already affected her nerves. So she could die at any time. "Farewell."
Lin Qian then started to walk away. Jiang Yue refused to go back inside even when Lin Qian had disappeared from their sight. Long You sigh because she was always like this to everyone. Everything when someone recovered and was ready to leave she would do anything to make sure their journey would be safe and sound. She would also stay at the gate just looking at the road that they took.
Long You however smiled. That was also a reason why he loves her. It was because she cared for others before she cared for herself. At the same time, a voice like a horse was heard. It was running toward them with a person on it back. Long You scoffed when he saw that person.
Zhi Xiang heard the sound of a horse smile happily. She ran out of the house she was into the gate. She saw a handsome man. The same handsome smiled back at her as he got off the horse.
"Zhi Xiang," he said. He looks at Zhi Xiang with a lovely gaze.
Zhi Xiang blushed, "Jing Wu..."
Jiang Yue and Long You at the side was trying to process this dog food.
