Zhang You suddenly woke up!
She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up with her hands. She was gasping for breath, her ears were ringing, and fragments of memories flashed through her mind. Her head was splitting with pain, and Zhang You couldn't help but hold her head in her hands.
Before my eyes was the scene of the car accident they had encountered: a sea of fire, debris, and their figures...
Her heart was filled with helplessness and unwillingness, and everything about their life flashed through her mind. The scattered fragments were enough to make her chest feel stuffy and painful for a long time.
"Mother! Mother! That person is awake! That person is awake!"
A child's joyful voice came from the side. Zhang You reluctantly looked up and saw a little boy with a bun on his head and wearing a gray cloth coat. He was less than one meter tall and ran out happily.
Zhang You didn't know him.
Before her was an unfamiliar house. The room was small, looking like an ordinary guest room, with almost no decoration. On the small table next to her was a wooden basin filled with water. Zhang You leaned over to look at her reflection in the water.
She is still here.
Zhang You raised his hand blankly and touched his face. This face looked nothing like his before he traveled through time.
Those memories...
Zhang You looked at his reflection in the water and was lost in thought.
"Girl! Are you awake?" An enthusiastic female voice sounded. Zhang You looked towards the door and saw a woman with an ordinary bun. She looked very young, about twenty years old.
"You... cough cough... who are you?" I don't know how long Zhang You slept. Her throat was very dry. She coughed and asked in a hoarse voice.
"My husband's last name is Xue, so you can just call me Madam Xue. You've been in a coma for a month, and I thought you'd never wake up." Madam Xue approached the bed, raised her hand to rub her back, and then instructed the child outside the door, "Ayi, go get some tea."
"Okay! Mom." The little boy said crisply and ran away.
"Don't be so hasty to speak. You haven't eaten or drunk much in the past month, so you're naturally weak. I'll make some porridge for you later so you can take good care of yourself.
You don't know, if I hadn't happened to go fishing with my husband that day, I wouldn't have met you. What happened to you? How could you have fallen into the river? If we hadn't arrived in time, you would have been washed down the waterfall, and there would have been no trace of your body left. What a blessing!"
Before he could finish his words, Xue Yi came running over with a bowl of water. His little face was red, perhaps because he was running or because he was shy about seeing strangers. He hid behind his mother.
"Come, drink some water first."
Zhang You took the tea offered by Madam Xue and drank it. The gentle tea flowed through his lungs, and his dry throat felt much better. After drinking it, Zhang You looked at Madam Xue and thanked her solemnly. "Thank you, Madam Xue, for saving my life."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's fate that we met and I had to meet and save the girl."
"Madam Xue, have you ever seen someone like me? Also, where is this? How's the capital?" Zhang You had slept for far too long, but she still remembered the moment she fell off the cliff. She wondered what had become of Chunhua. She also didn't know how far she had drifted down the river, or where she had ended up. She didn't want their sacrifice to mean Qiao Si's escape. She dreaded hearing any other news that Qiao Si hadn't escaped, but she still wanted to know what had become of them.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly.
We are in Xuejia Village, quite a distance from the capital you mentioned. Could you have drifted all the way here from the capital? That would be a blessing. We are only two or three days away from the capital.
"But we haven't seen the other person you mentioned. You're the only one we saw in the river. Did your companion also fall into the water? If so, I'm afraid... she's in great danger." After saying this, Madam Xue looked up at Zhang You cautiously.
When Zhang You heard Madam Xue say that she had never met another person, the tense string in her heart finally broke.
She thought: If Chunhua had jumped down at that time, maybe... maybe she could have survived like her.
But she was not in the river.
Without her...
Zhang You's mood was visibly depressed.
Madam Xue patted her hands and continued, "As for the capital you mentioned, there have indeed been rumors recently that things are not peaceful there. However, we are so far away from the emperor that it takes a long time to hear any news, and even then, I can't explain it clearly to you. However, there is a restaurant in town with storytellers, and the people in town will probably hear more about it. If you are really worried, wait until you feel better in a couple of days and come with us to the town?"
"Okay, thank you very much, Madam Xue." Zhang You still thanked her politely. Although there was no news, she was still very grateful to Madam Xue for saving her life.
After that dream.
Now she just wants to live for herself.
Live freely as they wish.
"You are such a polite girl. You said thank you several times as soon as you woke up. By the way, I forgot to ask, what is your name? I have been calling you girl, which is not even appropriate." Madam Xue teased Zhang You with a smile, which eased Zhang You's depressed mood.
At the same time, Madam Xue's words reminded Zhang You of a name that was about to come out of his mind. Zhang You didn't hesitate and blurted out, "Zhang You, my name is Zhang You."
From now on, there will no longer be Xia He.
Now, she clearly knows what she wants and what she lives for.
"Zhang You, then I'll call you Xiao You from now on, okay?"
"good."
"Come, Ayi, this is Sister Xiaoyou, say hello to Sister Xiaoyou." Madam Xue pulled over her son who had been hiding behind her and secretly watching Zhang You, and greeted Zhang You.
"This is my son, he is eight years old. He is just too shy. He dares not speak when he sees strangers. He is usually very noisy at home, and he only behaves like this when there are strangers around." Madam Xue rubbed Xue Yi's head, her eyes full of love.
"Hello." Zhang You greeted him with a smile, breaking the child's shyness first.
"Hello, sister." Xue Yi said crisply, looking very well-behaved.
"Come, let Ayi talk to you. I'll go cook something for you. You can't stay hungry." Madam Xue stood up, rolled up her sleeves enthusiastically, and went out to prepare a fire and cook.
Xue Yi is young and his mood changes easily. Before Zhang You could say a few words to him, he started talking and chatting with her about Xuejia Village.
Zhang You couldn't help laughing when he saw his little adult-like appearance. It seemed that he and Madam Xue were indeed very similar. They both talked incessantly and tirelessly.
However, they are all very enthusiastic and sincere, and Zhang You likes them very much.
