Capítulo 3: 03. Healing book
''Li Na, come to auntie. We have strawberry cake for dessert, quickly!''
A voice could be heard from the living room and a small girl came down slowly and smiled at her.
''Auntie. You shouldn't eat too many sweets. The doctor said your heart is weak.'' A cute little child with two buns walked towards her with a book in her hand, while looking at her aunt munching the cake with delight.
The woman looked at the calm child and sighed.
''I just need to live long enough to see you grown enough to live by yourself. That is all that is holding me. You have no one else. And those people are still greedy as ever.''
Her father died the day her mother left the world. The house burned to the ground and when the police came they found a bunch of dead bodies next to he burned house. Aunt Li Jing had the child that night, as Yang Lanfen was planning to renovate the house, so she feared that fumes would harm the baby.
The story about the renovation was true, as she really ordered people for renovation. Or better say Li Jing took care of that alibi. Who would have thought that someone tried to attack Yang Lanfan while she was alone at home? Few bones were found in the fire and all they could tell was that it were female bones, but it never could be proven if it were Yang Lanfen's. But who paid them to attack her and why?
The endings didn't fit and both sides blocked the news. Li Jing about Yang Lanfen and the other side the connection to them. That is how this world worked. But those people didn't stop to covet more and more...
Li Na was the only child from Li Mingli and had right on a certain amount of shares. And she will get more shares from Aunt Li Jing. Now their target became a small child. But Li Jing left the country right after her brother's burial with her niece and lived in a country that let her have large freedom, but high security.
Li Na was never one of the cheerful children. When she was three she learned three languages and how to read and write all of them. Now she is five and already learning many more things. Inhaling knowledge more and more.
''Child, what did you learn today?'' Aunt Jing put down a slice of a strawberry cake on a plate in front of her and pointed at the huge book that was next to Li Na.
''Acupuncture for beginners.'' Stood on the book as Li Na turned the book with a swift move. She looked at the cake and sighed. ''I will take the cake to the library.''
''Do that. I will watch some news.'' Li Jing turned the TV on and started watching the news from home, while Li Na just shook her head. Her aunt always watches the news at a certain point of the day. She looked at her almost completely white hair and sighed while taking the cake with her. Her hair became almost white after her brother's death.
Li Jing was older than Li Mingli for almost a decade. Her parents got him later when they were older and actually Li Jing raised him. She was more a mother to him than a sister. But she is getting older and her health is getting worse. Li Na pressed her lips and went to the library to find more books about health. If she could find some relief so she won't feel so bad...
While staring at the bookcase she sighed.
''There are no books about health. If I had more choices, that would be so fine.''
Suddenly next to her, a strange shiny window opened. She could see rows and rows of books. But she couldn't see what is written on them as they were flat. Her hand reached slowly inside and picked the first book.
''History of Great Meng empire.'' Huh, Meng? She never heard of it. No, she doesn't need that. Next one.
''Sacred rituals in case of disaster.'' Nope, this is not the one. She put both books back and reached for the next one.
''Magic for starters and their use'' ''Politics and influence of magic'' ''The sword techniques'' ...
All kind of books with strange names made her start to get a headache.
''I just want a healing book. That library has none as well?'' She got tired of all the things in front of her. Is that some kind of science fiction part or maybe some novels?
Suddenly a hand holding a book appeared in front of her.
''Great book of healing.'' She took the book and suddenly another book appeared.
''Healing plants and potions.'' This is interesting.
She became curious as she looked at her own book on the side. She already learned basic stuff but maybe she could learn something more sophisticated.
''Do you have an acupuncture book?''
Suddenly a young man in his teens stood in front of her and made her almost jump back. His long hair was open and went down to his waist while his calm eyes looked at her curiously. Early teen as it seems but she could already tell that he will be quite a beauty in the future.
''What is acupuncture?'' Curiosity was written all over his face.
''I guess you don't. Then take my book. Thank you for these two books. Let's hope I can use them.'' She turned around to take the acupuncture book for him so all he could see is two cute buns and a strange child with a strange fluffy pink dress walking to a nearby table.
''What is acupuncture and who are you?'' The little girl rushed back with a huge book and passed it to him. He was flabbergasted by the quality of the paper. In a daze, he saw the child calmly pointing at the book.
''This is acupuncture. Wait, I will give you something else for the other book.''
She jumped towards the table and picked up the strawberry cake and passed it through the window. The flabbergasted youth stood there and stared at her through the opening that suddenly became smaller.
''Who are you?''
''And you?''
But before both of them could hear the answer the window closed leaving both children speechless...
