Xiao Qingyin quickly reached out and caught it.

The eagle owl's eyes were filled with confusion.

I don't understand why that little bird fainted after it chirped once.

After regaining its senses, it launched another attack.

After reenacting that scene, it finally realized that this little bird was not to be trifled with.

"Hehehe~" Considering your formidable strength, I'll reluctantly make you my underling.

The little white bird glanced at it.

The eagle owl immediately changed its tune.

Okay, I'm the younger brother.

The little white bird fluttered its tiny wings and flew onto its back.

The eagle owl's legs bent under the weight.

But it didn't shake off the little white bird.

The little white bird lay sprawled on its new mount and closed its eyes to rest.

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

The little white bird is quite capable; it subdued the owl so quickly.

She became increasingly curious about what kind of bird it was.

The legends of the Changcao tribe that Qiu Sanniang collected did not mention this bird, so it must have been a secret of that tribe. Unfortunately, the wise king who destroyed the tribe and stole all their treasures is already dead.

She could only figure it out on her own.

Currently, this bird seems well-suited for use as a concealed weapon.

If someone were to kidnap me someday, having this bird roar would surely catch them off guard and allow me to escape.

After the owl was tamed, the two birds got along exceptionally well.

With favorable winds, the ship arrived in the capital in just over half a month.

Xiao Qingyin had been hoping that Yun Shu had already woken up along the way, but Yun Shu was still unconscious when she returned to the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence.

"Sister Xiao, you're finally back."

As soon as Xiao Qingyin entered the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence, a thin, unshaven figure came to greet her.

She looked closely and then recognized Wei Yan.

"How did you get so thin?"

Wei Yan gave a wry smile.

Ning walked over quickly and answered for him, "After Yun Shu's accident, he stayed by her bedside without sleeping or eating. How could he not lose weight?"

Xiao Qingyin sighed.

That idiot is as foolish as ever.

"You can't fast for this long. You need to eat something right away, or your organs will be seriously damaged."

"I can't eat," Wei Yan said, shaking her head. "Sister Xiao, please take a look at Xiao Shu."

Xiao Qingyin nodded.

I plan to deal with Wei Yan's matter after I finish watching Yun Shu.

Yun Shu's condition wasn't much better than Wei Yan's.

Modern vegetative patients can receive intravenous nutrition, but ancient vegetative patients could only be fed soup, which had limited nutritional value. As a result, Yun Shu's full cheeks had sunken in.

It won't be long before I'm skin and bones.

When Xiao Qingyin took her pulse, Wei Yan stared intently at her face, as if she might wake up at any moment.

Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed.

"There is nothing wrong with her health."

After taking her pulse, Xiao Qingyin said this.

"There is no blockage in her brain, so I can't find the reason for her coma for the time being."

Wei Yan was stunned.

Xiao Qingyin was like a god in his eyes. No matter what kind of illness she was, she could find a solution. This was the first time he had ever seen her helpless.

"Wouldn't acupuncture work? Or bee therapy or something?"

Xiao Qingyin shook her head.

“I can only use acupuncture to help relieve her muscle atrophy, but I can’t wake her up.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yan swayed and fell backward.

Ning hurriedly helped him up and said anxiously, "Qingyin, please take a look at him quickly."

Wei Yan only fainted due to extreme fatigue and hunger.

After examining him, Xiao Qingyin said to Ning Shi, "Give him some water, let him sleep for a while, and when he wakes up, let him drink some millet porridge. Don't let him eat any meat or fish yet."

"well."

Ning took him to the guest room to rest.

Xiao Qingyin was wondering where Han Shi had gone when Han Shi, Yun Wanyin, and Fu Weiyun walked in.

“Grandmother, Mother, Weiyun, I was just thinking about you.”

Xiao Qingyin greeted them with a smile.

"We went out to pick you up, but when we got to the dock we found your ship had already arrived, so we rushed back."

Han laughed.

"Was your journey smooth?"

"It went very smoothly."

Xiao Qingyin had been communicating with them, so there was no need to recount her activities over the past few months.

She looked at Yun Wanyin, who seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and asked with concern, "Mother, are you still not well?"

"It's all better now."

Yun Wanyin replied.

"It's just that the weather has been hot lately, so I haven't had much of an appetite and have been eating less."

"I'll prescribe some medicine to strengthen your spleen and improve your appetite later."

"well."

Xiao Qingyin turned to look at Fu Weiyun and noticed that he seemed to be taller than before.

She walked over and gestured.

“You’ve grown so much taller, you’re a head taller than your sister now.”

Fu Weiyun revealed two sweet dimples, "Yeah, I've been growing taller lately."

Does your leg hurt?

"A little."

"Drink more milk, eat more fish. I brought back a lot of dried shrimp. You can take them all later to make porridge and dumplings."

"Okay, thank you, sister."

Fu Weiyun's eyes crinkled with laughter.

After exchanging greetings, Xiao Qingyin inquired about Yun Shu being attacked.

"Where did Xiaoshu get into trouble? Who attacked her? Have they been caught?"

Han's face darkened.

"It happened when you accompanied me to Hanshan Temple to worship Buddha..."

That day was the fifteenth. As usual, she went to Hanshan Temple to worship Buddha and donate some money for incense. Yun Shu, as always, took her to the temple and then strolled around the mountain.

She had just finished praying to Buddha when she heard the sounds of battle and Yun Shu's urgent cries.

She immediately summoned her guards and rushed to the back mountain, where the sounds of fighting were coming from.
