Gu Xiaoran moved her aching body, got out of bed, and the first thing she did was look for lightning.
As soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw Zhu Juan sitting in the courtyard with tears in her eyes, slowly placing the lightning bolt into the wooden box.
Seeing Gu Xiaoran come out of the house, she said:
"Young master, you're awake."
"Aunt Zhu, what are you doing?!" Gu Xiaoran stared intently at Lightning's body.
"Young master, where should we bury Lightning?" Zhu Juan would have buried Lightning yesterday if she hadn't been waiting for Gu Xiaoran to wake up.
"Is that all? Is he buried like that?" Gu Xiaoran asked, her eyes red and swollen.
In his heart, Lingnan Village is his home, so "I want to bury it in the back mountain of Lingnan."
"Yes, I'll do as you say, young master." Zhu Juan nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Aunt Zhu, go get a needle and thread, and sew up Lightning's body again so that it can be reborn, with its whole body intact."
With tears in her eyes, Zhu Juan nodded and obeyed, fetching needle and thread. Under Gu Xiaoran's instructions, she gradually restored Lightning's body to its original form.
Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye as everyone recovers from their injuries.
During this time, Qiu Yan did not forget to look for Elder Mu and plead with him to stay. Elder Mu eventually returned to the academy.
Seven days later, Gu Xiaoran did not change back into men's clothing, but continued to wear women's clothing.
At this moment, he finally understood his mother's good intentions and couldn't help but feel guilty.
During this time, Qiu Dafu heard about what happened on the back mountain of Qingyun and rushed to Qingyun with Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu was originally a musician at Lingxin Academy, just like Qiu Ling'er. However, because the academy had two nieces and there was already another musician there,
So she started taking care of her business whenever she had free time.
She never expected that this would happen when she only stayed at her parents' home in Huaiyuan for a few more days. Thinking about it carefully, she was really scared.
When Qiu Dafu and his wife returned, Qiu Yan told her second uncle that there was nothing wrong, that they were just some local bullies.
The three siblings shared the same story when faced with their second uncle: they only reported good news and never bad.
Qiu Dafu and Jiang Liu were skeptical. His niece was unwilling to say more, but he pressed her for details:
"Are they really just local thugs and bullies?"
"Second Uncle, don't worry, Gu Qian has already dealt with those people," Qiu Yan insisted.
"Xiaoyan, you should always be careful. Your second uncle doesn't want to see any of you three siblings get into trouble."
"It's really nothing, Second Uncle. If you don't believe me, don't you believe Gu Qian?"
Qiu Yan brushed off her second uncle and aunt with a few words.
Qiu Dafu remained worried, and Jiang Liu offered a long string of concerned words.
The three sisters could only nod repeatedly.
Finally, Qiu Yan said goodbye to her second uncle, and the group returned to Lingnan Village together.
After Qiu Ling'er experienced such a change, the matter of the qin player was temporarily handed over to the other teachers at the academy.
As for herself, she followed her older sister and brother-in-law.
Qiu Xu was the same.
He wanted to go back to his village to change his mood.
Also accompanying them were Cao and her daughter.
Normally, Gu Xiaoran would return to the village in a cheerful mood.
Only this time, I am filled with sorrow.
Inside the carriage, it was unusually quiet.
Soon, they arrived at the village.
They drove their carriage directly to the back of the mountain.
The tomb is right in front of us on the back hill.
Gu Xiaoran slowly lifted her feet and stepped lightly towards the tomb.
Gu Qian and Qiu Yan gradually stopped walking.
Qiu Xu stopped as well.
Qiu Ling'er was somewhat confused and stood silently in the distance, not moving any further.
The Cao family mother and daughter behind them also stopped in their tracks.
Gu Xiaoran walked to the grave and knelt down with a thud.
"Xiao Ran has come to see you."
Gu Xiaoran kowtowed three times deeply before the tomb, her mind filled with memories of He Lin's visit when she was a child...
