The river breeze is mixed with the faint scent of green grass from the trees, as if carving a hint of green spring on the desolate river surface.
The river breeze gently caressed Huang Zichu's cheeks, bringing the sweet scent of leaves and grass, which brought some peace to Huang Zichu's melancholy heart.
Their boat had been floating on the river for five days and nights, and Huang Zichu was still brooding over Lu Changgong's matter.
He blamed himself for his inability to do anything and could not get over the fact that Lu Changgong was nowhere to be found, alive or dead.
Huang Zichu stood at the highest point of the boat, feeling the river breeze, which gave him a brief moment of relief.
Xuan Yi came quietly behind him, slightly bent his body, and said worriedly:
"Sir, Madam Lu is making a fuss again."
Ever since Zheng Jie woke up three days ago, she has been threatening to die. During that time, she almost jumped into the river when no one was paying attention.
If Lu Changji had not discovered it in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
From then on, no sharp objects could be placed in the cabin where she rested, and it could not be left unattended and had to be guarded at all times.
In just two or three days, the little Lu Changji's already frail body became even weaker, and he looked like he would die at any time.
Before, Su Sijin helped with the recuperation, and now Shen Tingyun has taken over the task of recuperating his body, but it is far less effective than Su Sijin's.
Even though the recipe is the same.
Xuan Yi attributed Lu Changji's physical difference to Zheng Jie's excessive exertion.
"Did she think that she could bring Changming back by exchanging her own life for his? She couldn't get over it, and she blamed herself for Changji's disappearance."
Huang Zichu has tried to persuade her several times, but... Zheng Jie still insists on her own way and will try every possible way to commit suicide.
Zheng Jie is running away.
"But, if she doesn't calm down, Master Changji..." Xuan Yi wanted to say that Lu Changji would go to see the King of Hell first, but he didn't dare to say it.
Such a young child has taken on the responsibility of taking care of Zheng Jie and Lu Qiuling, and all the pressure is on his little shoulders.
He never showed weakness in front of others, nor did he express sadness or sorrow. However, one time he saw him covering his mouth and suppressing his emotions in a deserted corner.
He couldn't even show his tears or sadness in front of others.
This little guy, with his small shoulders, has to bear too much, which is not something he should bear at his age.
Even the suppressed crying did not dare to vent too much. Lu Changji only vented for a moment and then adjusted repeatedly in front of Zheng Jie's door.
Time and again, he hid the sadness on his face.
He didn't go in to face Zheng Jie's "unreasonable behavior" until he adjusted himself to the point where no one noticed anything.
Huang Zichu walked down with a cold face, his steps unsteadily heading towards Zheng Jie's cabin.
Before anyone arrived, they could hear Xiao Qiuling's heart-wrenching cry.
Even Lu Changji suppressed his voice and begged Zheng Jie, "Mother, my elder brother, sister-in-law, and second brother, if there is no news about them, it is good news. Maybe they have been rescued."
"Maybe they're stuck on something, maybe they're trying to find us."
"Wuwu... Mother, please put down the tiles. If my eldest and second brothers come back and find you... how will I explain this to them?"
Lu Changji persuaded her while quietly approaching Zheng Jie.
But... Zheng Jie cut her wrist without blinking.
Suddenly, blood gushed out.
Lu Qiuling was so frightened that her face turned pale, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit.
Lu Qiuling wanted to get closer but didn't dare to, crying heartbreakingly, "Wuwu... Mother, wuwu... Qiuling is scared, wuwu... Uh... Don't you want us anymore?"
After all, Lu Qiuling was just a little girl, and her body was weak. As she was crying, her eyes rolled back and she started to have convulsions.
Zheng Jie threw away the tiles and rushed over in fear.
She picked up Lu Qiuling and cried, "Qiuling, don't scare mother, don't scare mother, don't."
Zheng Jie's face was covered with tears and the wound on her wrist was bleeding profusely. Lu Changji held her wrist.
There were tears and blood on Lu Qiuling's face, which looked extremely terrifying.
Seeing this, Shen Tingyun quickly put his hand into Lu Qiuling's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue.
Shen Tingyun’s hand was bitten tightly, and blood dripped down his arm, “Quick, hold down her legs.”
Shen Tingyun tried his best to calm himself down and gave Lu Qiuling acupuncture in an orderly manner.
Su Sijin said that Lu Qiuling's grief and fear triggered a convulsion. If not treated properly, the patient would have convulsions, bite his tongue and die.
Therefore, the most urgent thing is to prevent her from hurting herself. With acupuncture, the symptoms will disappear soon and she will wake up soon.
But... Su Sijin also said that once this disease is triggered, special attention should be paid to emotional management. Otherwise, the disease will recur for up to five times each time, and the disease will be impossible to eradicate throughout one's lifetime.
I don’t know if Lu Qiuling’s illness is the same as what Su Sijin described.
Hoping her diagnosis was wrong, Shen Tingyun prayed silently.
Suddenly, Lu Qiuling slowly woke up.
The first thing she saw was Zheng Jie's face. She happily threw herself into her arms, shouting happily, "Mom, don't leave Xiao Qiuling. I'm scared."
After Lu Qiuling finished speaking, she fell into Zheng Jie's arms again.
Zheng Jie touched her head lovingly and distressedly, but did not answer.
Lu Changji's heart instantly sank to the bottom, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Lu Qiuling almost lost her life, but couldn't that make her give up her decision to die?
Shen Tingyun covered his arm and stepped aside, letting Huang Zichu step forward.
If Lu Qiuling's illness cannot make Zheng Jie give up, perhaps Huang Zichu can change Zheng Jie's mind.
