Chapter 236: The County Magistrate Falls



"Chunxiao, my son, you have suffered so much." Tian originally stopped Zhou from coming, fearing that she would faint again after seeing Chunxiao. But she insisted on coming. Seeing her bruised and battered appearance, Zhou couldn't stop crying.

Chun Xiao knew her injuries, and she forced a smile, "I didn't wake up in pain, I woke up because of you guys crying, it was so noisy."

"Little sister," Zhang wiped her tears, "Don't talk for now. Let's clean you up carefully first. Then we'll apply medicine on the bed and you won't feel any pain."

After soaking in the water for a while, the injured area began to bleed again. Tian ran out in the middle of the wash and took a breath outside before coming back.

They cleaned very carefully, but Chunxiao was still sweating from the pain, but the sweat fell into the water and no one could see it.

Xiaohua washed her hair and said, "Miss, you have suffered."

Chunxiao lay beside the bucket, "You are still crying, your eyes are so swollen that you can't see. If I didn't recognize your clothes, I wouldn't know you were Xiaohua." She looked around, "Where is this?" It didn't look like a home decoration.

"We are at the inn now. You are seriously injured. We need to see you first before we go back. There are many doctors in the city, so it will be convenient for them to see you."

"Little sister, please stop talking. Just bear with it. If you are tired, just sleep. We are all here."

Chunxiao was indeed tired. She woke up in pain from taking a shower. Now that she knew she was truly out of danger, her heart was finally at peace. She had many things she wanted to ask, but it was better to wait until she had recovered before worrying about other things.

After taking a shower, she lay on the bed. Soon, all the people outside the door rushed in, including the village head and Yan Qi, as well as the doctor.

They were relieved when they saw that she was awake and smiling at them.

"I said, what are you all doing here? Get out! The doctor is going to apply medicine. Get out now."

The men all went out and the women stayed. Shufeng and Yang Xue went forward to look at her, "Aunt." Both of them had tears in their eyes.

"Auntie is fine, I'm just a little tired. I'll talk to you after I've rested."

The doctor gave her medicine, and she fell asleep on the bed without realizing it.

Xiaohua stayed by her side.

Zhou and the others left the room and wiped their eyes when they saw the men outside. "She's been taking medicine and is asleep. The doctor isn't sure if she has any internal injuries. External injuries will take more than ten days to heal. You've all been tired these past few days, so go back and rest. Xiaohua is in there, she'll call us when she wakes up."

"Oh." A group of people left with a sigh.

Chunxiao had a very long dream.

In her dream, she saw her parents taking a little girl to play in the playground, but the people around them couldn't see her. She walked through the crowd and no one looked back.

When the two went to buy ice cream for the little girl, the little girl walked up to her and said, "Sister, I've seen you."

Chunxiao touched her head in surprise, "Have you seen me? Where have you seen me?" This little girl was the only one who could see her.

"In the box in Mom's cabinet, there are photos of you and Mom and others. Mom often cries while looking at the photos. I secretly saw them." She tilted her head. "Are you my sister?"

Chunxiao was a little panicked when she saw someone walking towards her from a distance. The little girl saw that she was trying to hide and quickly grabbed her hand.

"Nian Nian, what are you doing?"

"Mom, my sister is back to see us." The little girl smiled brightly and pointed to the side. "She's here."

The woman looked at the empty ground beside her, threw herself into the man's arms and started crying.

Chun Xiao burst into tears when she saw this. She walked over and hugged her parents, then walked over to the little girl and said, "Your name is Nian Nian? You have to help me take good care of mom and dad and don't let them feel sad. My sister is now in another world and is living well. You have to keep this secret for me."

The little girl looked at her in confusion, then looked at her parents and finally nodded.

Chunxiao was woken up by Xiaohua crying, "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, you're being too noisy."

"Are you in pain? I'll call a doctor for you." Xiaohua wiped the tears from her face happily when she saw that she woke up.

"I'm not in pain, why are you crying for no reason?"

"I'm crying because you've been crying, miss. Are you hungry? I'll get you some porridge."

Chunxiao was indeed hungry, but she was more thirsty than hungry. "Please pour me a bowl of water. My throat is about to smoke." She had a back injury and was more comfortable sleeping on her stomach.

Xiaohua hurriedly poured her some water.

After drinking a bowl of water, she finally felt better. She sniffed her body again, fearing that she would have a musty odor that could not be washed off after staying in the cell for too long. Fortunately, apart from the smell of medicine, she could not smell anything else.

"Miss, wait for me, I'll get you something to eat."

"Wait a minute, I'll ask you a few questions before you leave."

Xiaohua sat down beside her bed as she was told.

"How long have I slept?" She was in a deep, drowsy sleep, and it was hard to tell how long she had slept. It was now bright daylight outside. Either she hadn't slept for long, or it must have been a whole day.

"You have slept all night, and now it is morning."

"Where is Dongsheng?" It was Dongsheng who rescued her yesterday, but when everyone came in to see her later, they didn't see him.

"Brother Dongsheng must have gone on an errand, young lady. You don't know, several high-ranking officials have come from the capital. The county magistrate here is about to fall. I heard he's been imprisoned. Brother Dongsheng came with someone, and we don't know where he is now. He left yesterday after rescuing you and handing you over to your uncle and aunt."
