Gu Yingxue grasped Cheng Huaiyu's withered hand and brought it close to her face.
Cheng Huaiyu struggled and shook her head, but Gu Yingxue held her tightly: "Sister, don't do this. You will always be my sister, and I am your younger sister. You can touch me whenever you want."
Cheng Huaiyu smiled helplessly, opening his mouth as if to answer, but unable to utter a word, so he could only nod.
"Sister, sister..." Gu Yingxue cried even harder.
Cheng Huaiyu silently said, "Don't cry, be good."
“Oh right, sister, don’t move. I’ll have Brother Bai take your pulse. We brought medicine. The supply convoy isn’t far from us. Sister, we’re surrounded by people from the Great Zhou, so we won’t be in danger.” Gu Yingxue wiped away her tears, said something to Cheng Huaiyu, and then turned to call out to Bai Yi, “Brother Bai, come quickly and take a look at my sister.”
The man in white turned around, walked over, squatted down, and took Cheng Huaiyu's hand. Cheng Huaiyu subconsciously pulled away.
The man in white didn't mind and said softly, "Miss Cheng, I am Miss Gu's bodyguard."
Only then did Cheng Huaiyu feel relieved enough to let the doctor take her pulse.
Her eyes were lifeless.
The man in white touched his left hand, then his right, and finally shook his head.
Cheng Huaiyu felt as if a large stone had been lifted off his feet.
"Brother Bai, what does this mean? What does it mean that you're shaking your head? What medicine does my sister need? Tell Bai Jiu to go back and get it!" Gu Yingxue panicked. "Bai Jiu, Bai Jiu, hurry, hurry and get the medicine. No, no, we have to hurry back. We have to go back and find Grandma Xiao. Grandma, your medical skills are so good! Let's go back."
Gu Yingxue tried to pick up Cheng Huaiyu, but even though Cheng Huaiyu was so thin that she was just skin and bones, she couldn't lift her up. Cheng Huaiyu was older and taller than her.
Cheng Huaiyu pulled Gu Yingxue back, shook her head at her, and then raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
"Miss Xue'er, please make Miss Cheng's last moments a little easier! If you move around, she won't be able to catch you," the woman in white said with pity.
"Nonsense! You're talking nonsense! You're a quack doctor yourself, so don't spout off!" Gu Yingxue shouted at the man in white. "What do you mean by 'last time'? My sister is going back with me, and with Yun-ge'er, and with Xiao-jin-gege. Right, sister..."
Cheng Huaiyu held Gu Yingxue's hand and shook his head at her with a smile.
"Sister, don't shake your head, don't shake your head. Sister, Yun-ge'er and Xiao-jin-gege are waiting for you. Father and Mother are also waiting for you, please don't do this..." Gu Yingxue cried out.
Cheng Huaiyu wiped away her tears, his expression as gentle as ever.
“Miss Cheng, is there anything you wish to say? I have some knowledge of lip reading.” The man in white suddenly remembered that the girl had been mute for over ten years and only resumed speaking at the age of twelve. So he squatted down to the side and looked Cheng Huaiyu in the eye, saying, “I also know sign language.”
Cheng Huaiyu paused for a moment, then nodded and gestured to the man in white.
"Take good care of Xue'er, protect her, and escort her back safely."
“I have a letter I wrote to everyone, which is in the bundle that Xue’er took with her earlier.”
“I want to be buried in Sanchakou Village. It’s my favorite place. My brother and Xinxin are there. It’s the happiest place in my life.”
"My body is filthy. Please, Guard White, burn me, put me in a jar, and take me back."
"Xue'er, don't cry. Xue'er, you must take good care of yourself and your parents. Yun-ge'er is with my brother. If I have a sister-in-law in the future, Xue'er, you must help me keep an eye on Yun-ge'er. This is the kind of help I, as his older sister, most hope you can help me with."
"Tell my parents that I am sorry and I know I was wrong. If there is an afterlife, Xiaoyu would like to be their biological daughter and be connected to them by blood."
"Tell Xinxin that Xiaoyu is her first friend, and she is also Xiaoyu's first friend. Xiaoyu wishes her a lifetime of happiness with Mr. Zhou!"
"Tell my brother that he must live on and help me raise Yun-ge'er. Although it's a difficult request, I still hope that my brother can find a sister-in-law who can accept Yun-ge'er."
