章節 12: Chapter 10 Improvement of Health (2)_1
Upon hearing him mention Ziyin, Lin Zige immediately stopped crying.
She wiped the tears from her face and entered the room. When she got in, she saw Lin Ziyin wide awake, staring at the ceiling!
She felt a pang of sadness in her heart, "Ziyin, did you hear everything?"
"I heard it," Ziyin answered quietly, "Big brother is right. A man like that is not worth your tears."
"It's not about him." Lin Zige shook her head, then forced a smile, "Don't overthink it. Focus on regaining your strength."
"Alright." Lin Ziyin responded calmly.
Seeing her lack of energy and taking into account her own mood, Lin Zige stopped the conversation. After washing up, she too lay down beside Lin Ziyin and fell asleep.
Back in the modern times, Lin Ziyin was used to sleeping alone. Now, with Lin Zige by her side, she was considerably uncomfortable.
But she didn't dare to move, fearing that she might also make Lin Zige uneasy.
Fortunately, Lin Zige fell asleep quickly, probably exhausted from the day's work.
Lin Ziyin finally fell asleep when dawn was approaching, after futilely trying to count sheep with her eyes shut.
However, their sleep was fleeting and unrestful, as the members of the Lin family soon began to wake up one by one.
After Lin Zige carefully got out of bed, Lin Ziyin found that the bed was growing colder. She wrapped up in the blanket once more.
In the following days, she had her meals separately and continued drinking her medicine without fail.
The family seemed to have forgotten the displeasure brought by the Ma Family, each of them going about their daily tasks.
On the third day, Lin Ziyin pleaded with Zige, "I want to go out and walk around."
"No, your body has not fully recovered. What if you catch a cold?" Lin Zige resolutely disagreed.
"I won't go far, just around the vicinity. Let Changting and Yanzhi accompany me." Lin Ziyin said. "Lying in bed all the time will only make me weaker."
On hearing this, Lin Zige glanced at her.
"The sunlight is good outside, I'll just stay near the house." Lin Ziyin persisted.
"Alright, but don't wander off, and make sure you are dressed warmly." Lin Zige finally agreed.
Lin Ziyin nodded, allowing Zige to help her into another coat.
"Second Sister, I'll support you." Lin Changting cleverly offered.
"I will too." Lin Yanzhi chimed in.
"Thank you, both of you." Lin Ziyin answered with a smile.
For the first time outside, she finally had a good look at her surroundings.
Over the past few days, she had already understood the state of her village through subtle conversations with Lin Zige.
The village was called Shilitunzi, and there were about a hundred or so households.
In ancient times, such a village would be considered large. However, the village was not established through generations of descendants, but was formed by people exiled here from Capital City, a place of harsh cold.
Hence, the village wasn't composed of a single clan, but was rather complex with few individuals.
Lin Ziyin knew that in ancient times, without a common clan, it would often be hard for community cohesion to develop, hence, the village would not lack its share of disputes and conflicts.
Fortunately, most of those who came here were not exiled due to heinous crimes, but because they were implicated by others or due to their masters. Thus, the villagers were still relatively simple and honest.
Lin Ziyin looked at the undulating green mountains in the distance and took a deep breath of fresh air. Actually, the environment surrounding the village was quite good, with green mountains encircling the village, farming fields arranged in order, and houses scattered about, creating a picturesque pastoral scene.
"Ziyin, you're able to come out now, it seems that your condition has improved." Suddenly, a pleasantly surprised voice called out.
Lin Ziyin looked up to see a kind-faced middle-aged woman, who was radiating joy as she looked at her.
