martial arts
After Lin Yan woke up, he walked around.
Her injuries had not yet fully healed. As her doctor, Zhou Ningning was very dissatisfied with this and ran to the Lin Mansion early in the morning.
"I am aware of my injuries," Lin Yan said helplessly.
Zhou Ningning put her hands on her hips and puffed up her cheeks, "What do you mean by know? Am I the doctor or are you? You have such a serious injury and it's only been a month. You should take good care of yourself."
"Okay, okay, I promise you." Lin Yan knew that if he didn't agree with her, she would keep talking, so he could only pretend to agree.
"Sister, you have to take good care of your injuries and don't walk around. Remember, don't practice martial arts," Zhou Ningning warned.
"Okay, okay, your clinic is about to open, go quickly," Lin Yan started to drive people away.
"Then remember to apply the medicine and take it," Zhou Ningning continued to remind before leaving.
After finally sending Zhou Ningning away, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. So many things had happened since she woke up, so of course he had to investigate it thoroughly.
As a result, he was sanctioned by Zhou Ningning.
After finishing the medicine, the servant from the mansion came to report that Xiao Yue had arrived, and Lin Yan hurriedly asked someone to welcome her in.
Seeing Lin Yan standing there alive, Xiao Yue's eyes instantly turned red. She wanted to get closer but didn't dare to.
Lin Yan had no choice but to pull her over and sit her down. He raised his hand to wipe her tears and said, "Why are you crying? I'm fine."
"It's all because of me. If I hadn't gone to the temple and been caught, you wouldn't have fallen into the trap and wouldn't have fallen into a coma," Xiao Yue blamed herself.
Lin Yan sighed, knowing that she would get in. "Their target was me. Even if you weren't there, they would have found other ways to lure me over. Don't blame yourself anymore."
Ever since Lin Yan fell into a coma, Xiao Yue has been frightened all day long, fearing that she would never wake up again. If that were the case, she would never be able to forgive herself in her life.
Thinking of the arrows Xiao Yue shot in the village, Lin Yan praised her: "Besides, didn't you save me? If it weren't for you shooting those arrows, I might not have been able to hold on for so long. It was your first time killing someone, you must be scared."
Xiao Yue was thinking about Lin Yan all day long and had no memory of the arrows she shot. Suddenly, she remembered the look in her brother's eyes, which was full of admiration. Then she realized that she had killed someone.
"I found that I was not afraid at all," Xiao Yue was surprised.
Lin Yan was also surprised. Xiao Yue had been suppressed by the Qu family since childhood, so why was she so timid? She was not afraid of this at all.
"My brother also said that he was not afraid when he went to the battlefield and killed people for the first time. Maybe I am like my brother." Xiao Yue was curious, "Master Lin, were you afraid when you killed people for the first time?"
Lin Yan recalled his first murder, "I can't remember it clearly, but I probably wasn't afraid."
“Then we are destined to be together.”
Lin Yan laughed out loud. Is this kind of fate a good thing?
Looking at Xiao Yue's smile because of her smile, Lin Yan was in a trance for a moment, remembering everything in her dream. She asked: "Ayue, has anyone in your family arranged a marriage for you?"
Xiao Yue shook her head and said, "My brother asked me before if I wanted to get married. I said no, and he said I could get married whenever I wanted in the future."
Thinking of Xiao Yue, who was combing a woman's hair in the dream and lying in her arms, Lin Yan's heart ached inexplicably, and he reminded her: "If you encounter anything in the future, you can come to me."
Although Xiao Yue didn't understand why Lin Yan said that, she still nodded obediently.
"Ayue, didn't you say that you always wanted me to be your elder sister? If you don't mind, you can recognize me as your sister and call me Sister Lin." Lin Yan originally wanted the other party to call him his elder sister, but when he thought of Xiao Yue having a biological sister, he changed his mind.
"Really?" Xiao Yue was surprised.
She had always known that Xiao Yue had a biological sister, so Lin Yan had never thought about addressing her by that name, but Xiao Yue's sad voice in her dream gave her this idea.
Lin Yan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Really."
"Sister Lin!" Xiao Yue called sweetly.
Suddenly something flashed through his mind, and Lin Yan felt a slight headache, but he couldn't remember what it was.
Xiao Yue looked at Lin Yan nervously, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Yan rubbed his temples and said, "It's nothing. It's probably a sequelae from lying down for too long. Don't worry."
Seeing that Lin Yan’s headache was gone, Xiao Yue felt relieved.
Thinking of another reason for coming to see Lin Yan this time, Xiao Yue opened her mouth and said, "Sister Lin, can you continue to ask me to shoot arrows?"
"Haven't I been teaching you archery?" Lin Yan asked in confusion.
"It's not the kind of teaching in academy. They really taught me everything related to archery and martial arts," Xiao Yue explained.
After my brother saw her shooting arrows that time, he asked her how many months she had learned to be so good at it. Then he tested her himself and found that she was a genius in archery.
After Xiao Jin discovered that his sister had such talent, he wanted to cut Qu into pieces again. If A Yue had practiced martial arts since childhood, maybe she could join him in killing the enemy.
Afterwards, Xiao Jin asked her if she wanted to learn martial arts, thinking that his sister's talent should not be wasted.
Of course Xiao Yue wanted to, but she rejected her brother's suggestion to hire someone for her. Xiao Jin understood immediately: "You want to ask Master Lin from the academy to teach you."
Xiao Yue nodded.
Of course Xiao Jin agreed. He had seen Lin Yan's abilities in the mountain stronghold. At the same time, he also wondered if such a person could be an ordinary chivalrous knight, but he would definitely not hurt A Yue.
Lin Yan knew Xiao Yue's talent for archery earlier than anyone else, so of course she was happy to teach her. However, Xiao Yue was too timid before, so she didn't dare to take the initiative to tell her.
"Starting from tomorrow, I will go to your house every day to teach you," Lin Yan decided. Mr. Wu, who had broken his leg before, had recovered. Lin Yan had not gone to the academy since the New Year, so he had time to teach Xiao Yue now.
"No, no, your injury hasn't healed yet." Xiao Yue waved her hands quickly. She just mentioned it. Lin Yan's injury hadn't healed yet, so how could she use force?
Lin Yan: "I'm just teaching you martial arts. Nothing will happen if I don't practice."
Seeing Lin Yan's insistence, Xiao Yue no longer refused, "Then I will come to the Lin Mansion every day, so there is no need to trouble my sister to go there in person."
"There is no place to practice martial arts in the Lin Mansion. The Zhenguo Mansion is close to the Lin Mansion, so it won't be a problem." Lin Yan had another consideration. When she went to the Zhenguo Mansion in the first month of the year, Madam Li, who was beside Madam Gu, begged her to visit Madam Gu more often.
Lin Yan inexplicably felt a little closer to Mrs. Gu, just like when she first met Xiao Yue. Later, she thought that perhaps she was destined to be with their family.
The next day, Lin Yan took Zhou Ningning to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
When Zhou Ningning came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for the first time, she took Madam Gu's pulse and told Lin Yan at that time that her disease could be cured. Lin Yan then told Xiao Yue about this.
Xiao Yue was very excited about this. A'niang had been like this for many years, and her brother had consulted countless famous doctors but to no avail. They thought that A'niang would really have to live like this for the rest of her life.
Zhou Ningning took Madam Gu's pulse again and found that her pulse was much more stable. She asked the nanny beside Madam Gu: "Did Madam Gu take any medicine? Her pulse is much better and her spirits are much better."
The nanny was very happy about Lin Yan's arrival, and her wrinkles were squeezed together with her smile: "It must be because of Miss Lin. Madam is always happy when she sees Miss Lin."
Thinking about how Mrs. Gu mistook my sister for her daughter when they first met, and that was the reason why Mrs. Gu was depressed, her illness was much easier to cure than Zhou Ningning thought.
Zhou Ningning told Lin Yan and the others about the treatment plan.
"Let me pretend to be Mrs. Gu's daughter?" Lin Yan was surprised.
Zhou Ningning nodded and said, "Although I have a way to make Mrs. Gu wake up, the depression in her heart is still there. If this goes on, her illness will never be cured."
"What if someone's daughter comes back and Madam Gu can't accept her? Wouldn't that mean I'm taking up someone else's identity for nothing?" Lin Yan frowned, unable to accept it.
Xiao Yue also advised: "It's all because of my mother's illness. If my sister comes back, she will not blame you, and my mother will understand."
Finally, after being persuaded by several people, Lin Yan agreed to the proposal.
After that, Zhou Ningning came to give Madam Gu acupuncture every once in a while, and Lin Yan came to teach Xiao Yue martial arts.
Although Xiao Yue has a great understanding of archery, she has not exercised for many years and her physical condition is poor.
Lin Yan asked her to squat in horse stance for at least two hours every day. Xiao Yue's legs were shaking and she was so tired that she almost cried.
Can this stop him from squatting? The answer is no. Since Xiao Yue wants to learn martial arts, he cannot give up for a moment. Lin Yan's strictness is fully displayed here.
Zhou Ningning looked at Xiao Yue who was so tired every day and had to face such a serious elder sister, and touched her nose in disappointment. Fortunately, she had no talent for martial arts, otherwise she would have collapsed after being scolded by Lin Yan.
All she could do was make some medicine for Xiao Yue's bruises and injuries to relieve her pain.
Although Xiao Yue was very tired every day, her body was getting stronger and stronger. Lin Yan taught her the inner martial arts of the Nanshan School, which could stimulate internal strength. Therefore, even with high-intensity training every day, Xiao Yue was very energetic.
Xiao Jin noticed the changes in his sister and thought to himself that this Miss Lin was truly no ordinary person. In just one month, Xiao Yue had changed so much.
It was a coincidence that during the month that Lin Yan was in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he never ran into Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin had to go to the military camp during the day and return at night, while Lin Yan was only in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion during the day. The two had never met.
To be precise, Lin Yan had never met Xiao Jin. After all, she had fainted at that time. Xiao Jin had only seen the seriously injured Lin Yan. In reality, the two had never met formally.
Mrs. Gu watched Lin Yan teach Xiao Yue martial arts every day without fail. Although she still had a childlike temperament, she was in better and better spirits now. Unlike before when there was always depression between her brows, her mood had been very stable.
Nanny Li burst into tears as she watched the changes in her ladyship. If the second young lady had not been lost, perhaps the mansion would have been as lively as it is now.
Xiao Jin was also very happy when he heard Nanny Li talk about the changes in his mother. He had heard a little about Zhou Ningning's medical skills. He had heard that the Duke of Xin's terminally ill grandson was saved by Zhou Ningning, but he thought it was too exaggerated at first. He didn't expect that Zhou Ningning really had this ability.
As for what Nanny Li said about his mother mistaking Miss Lin for her second sister, Xiao Jin didn't care much about it. Nanny had also mistaken someone once, so maybe it was just a coincidence.
To express his gratitude, Xiao Jin sent many gifts to the Zhou and Lin residences, but unfortunately he was busy with military affairs and could not express his gratitude in person.
However, Xiao Jin did not hold out hope that his mother could recover completely, nor did he even hope that his mother's illness would be cured. Over the years, he had sought help from countless famous doctors, but all ended in failure.
One year, a wandering monk was found and he cured her mother, but not long after, she was immersed in the self-blame for losing her sister and became like that again.
The wandering monk sighed, "Mrs. Gu's illness originated from a knot in her heart. If you want to cure her, you have to find the source of the knot. Otherwise, if this goes on for a long time, even if I cure her, she will be heartbroken and her body will not be able to bear it."
After that, the wandering monk left, and Xiao Jin never looked for him again. A'an was never found, and A'niang would always be like this. It was a dead end.
A Niang's current condition is the best outcome. Unless the second sister finds her, A Niang's illness will relapse.
By the way, A Yue and Xiao Jin mentioned that the "玚" in the name of Master Lin, whom A Niang was close to, is the same as the "玚" in the name of her second sister, just with different pronunciations. It was probably fate.
