At this moment, a voice came from my arms: "Mom, Mom, it hurts!"
Yuan Zhao paused when he heard the voice, and Gan Tang and Biyun, who came from outside after hearing the voice, also stopped where they were.
Yuan Zhao looked back in disbelief, only to see that Yuan Nanan in his arms had slowly stopped twitching.
She took deep breaths of fresh air as if she had difficulty breathing.
Yuan Zhao called out tentatively, "Nannan?"
Yuan Nan'an still covered his neck and closed his eyes and said, "Mom, my throat hurts so much~"
Yuan Zhao burst into tears almost instantly after hearing the voice. She tightly grasped her daughter's arm with one hand, still feeling incredible:
"Nannan! Nannan! Can you speak now?!"
Only then did Yuan Nanan react. She was stunned, thinking about what her mother said.
She...can speak now?
She sat up dazedly, and under Yuan Zhao's encouraging gaze, she slowly spoke: "I... can speak now?"
After speaking a complete sentence again, Yuan Zhao hugged her tightly.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Gan Tang and Biyun also had tears in their eyes. Then they slowly retreated.
Yuan Zhao then asked her, "Nannan, what happened? Why did you suddenly become like this?"
At first, when she walked in and saw Nan'an rolling and twitching on the ground, she was really shocked.
Yuan Nan'an, who was still sitting on the ground, raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhizhi on the couch.
Yuan Zhao followed her gaze and saw his little daughter giggling and waving her little hands.
[This is so awesome! I thought Sister Goose could talk!]
Yuan Nan'an then explained: "Zhizhi gave me a grass to eat, and after I ate it, I became like this."
[Hey, no need to thank me too much~ Let us all say it out loud together: Zhizhi is awesome! ]
Yuan Zhao pulled Yuan Nan'an to sit next to Yuan Zhizhi. She was still very nervous and asked, "Nan'an, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want your mother to take you to see Doctor Zhang..."
Yuan Nan'an cleared his throat uncomfortably and shook his head: "No need, mother, I don't feel anything now."
She squeezed her little sister's hand, a smile on her lips: "Zhizhi is the best!"
Yuan Zhizhi was very satisfied with the praise. She felt her eyelids drooping and fell into a deep sleep again.
Yuan Zhao looked at his little daughter who fell asleep in a second, feeling both happy and worried.
Yuan Nan'an put his little hand on hers and comforted her:
"Mother, I know this is a serious matter, so we should not let too many people know about it, lest Zhizhi be exposed."
Her mother had just taken her to see the imperial physician, but even the physician said he couldn't diagnose or cure her.
If I could speak on my own when I got home, many people would come to ask me what happened.
If Zhizhi were to be exposed, it would be troublesome.
"It's okay, I can pretend to be dumb in front of outsiders." Yuan Nanan smiled sweetly. She was already satisfied that she could speak.
Yuan Zhao looked up and saw that his second daughter's eyes were shining with their former brilliance.
She touched Nan'an's head and assured her, "Once I rescue your third brother, I will take you back to Beijing as soon as possible. As long as we return to Beijing, everything will be fine."
…
Before we knew it, the Chinese New Year was only half a month away.
Yuan Nan'an has become more energetic since his voice recovered.
She practices basic skills with Biyun every day and is very diligent.
Yuan Zhao also allowed her to take Yuan Zhizhi for a walk around the mansion every day, but he specifically reminded her not to go near Songyan Hall and Jingsi Pavilion.
Songyan Hall was the old lady's territory, and Yuan Nan'an felt it was unlucky and never went there.
But Jingsi Pavilion was her eldest brother's courtyard, and she would often go to the gate and secretly glance at her eldest brother through the crack in the door.
The third brother and the youngest sister were born later. Among the four children, only Yuan Nanan had ever lived with the eldest brother.
She remembered that when she was very young, every time her elder brother came to Yangzhou from the capital, he would hug her gently, smile at her, and teach her calligraphy.
But after his eldest brother got into trouble, he locked himself in the yard and never saw anyone again.
No matter who approaches, the eldest brother ignores them and remains silent all day without saying a word.
Whenever she asked about her eldest brother, her mother would look sad, her father would get angry and forbid her from mentioning her eldest brother, and her grandmother would have resentment in her eyes.
Yuan Nan'an didn't know what had happened, but his elder brother, who used to be full of vigor and vitality, suddenly became depressed.
She often felt regretful about this.
After dinner that day, Yuan Zhao went out for something, and Yuan Nan'an carried Yuan Zhizhi on her back to help her digest the food, while Xiaobai followed them closely.
This year seems to be particularly cold, and the heavy snow has not stopped for some time.
Fortunately, they were both dressed warmly and didn't feel cold.
Yuan Zhizhi likes snow very much and stretches out her chubby little hands to catch the snowflakes.
The two of them walked to the gate of Jingsi Pavilion, and Yuan Nan'an peeked inside through the crack in the door.
Yuan Zhizhi behind him stretched his neck.
[Give me a treat! I want to eat some too!]
Yuan Nanan turned sideways so that Yuan Zhizhi could also see inside.
Yuan Zhizhi just let out an "eh" and then tried to pull her hands away.
【Someone fell into the water! 】
Yuan Nan'an was so frightened that he shuddered all over and rushed to the crack of the door. Sure enough, he saw a person struggling in the lake in the yard!
"Oh no! Did Big Brother fall into the water?!"
She looked towards the lake again, and there was the wheelchair where her elder brother usually sat!
Yuan Nan'an was frightened and didn't know what to do for a moment.
She knocked on the door hard, but no one answered.
"What should I do? How can I get in and save my brother?"
She looked at the wall of the yard again. The wall was too high and she couldn't climb over it at all.
At this time, Xiaobai was peeping through the crack of the door. He opened his mouth and revealed his sharp teeth.
"Quick! Xiaobai! Bite the door open!"
With a "click" sound, Xiaobai really bit a hole in the door.
Yuan Nanan was small in stature, so she climbed in at once, then ran to the lakeside. Looking down from the surface of the lake, she saw that the man was almost sinking to the bottom of the lake.
In desperation, she could only put Yuan Zhizhi on the ground and jumped into the water without caring about anything else.
The lake water is particularly freezing in winter.
Yuan Musheng was completely wrapped in the cold lake water, and he felt like he was going to die.
But the first thought that came into his mind was: he was finally going to be free.
No need to live in such misery anymore.
Speaking of which, he wanted to thank the person who pushed him from behind.
But at this moment, his hands were held, and he felt that these hands were much smaller than his own.
He struggled to open his eyes, only to see the little person holding him trying hard to hold her breath. Her little face had grown a lot bigger than the last time he saw her.
Even though he hadn't seen her for a few years, he could still recognize her at a glance.
Isn’t this the sister who always followed him around when he was young?
