Chapter 409 Nian Nian's Early Memories
After Nian Nian followed Han Shiyi on horseback, Xiao Tao immediately prepared the carriage. They also had to catch up quickly. Even if they couldn't catch up, they had to go back afterwards.
I dare not waste any more time.
Nian Nian sat on the horse's back. Even though she was wearing warm clothes, she still felt the bumpy ride.
Han Shiyi tightened the reins with both hands and held Nian Nian in his arms.
In fact, he didn't do it on purpose, and he had no intention of taking advantage of others.
This is just to protect Nian Nian's safety and prevent her from falling during the bumpy ride.
"Brother Han, how long will it take us to ride on horseback?"
Han Shiyi: "Very quickly. If the road is easy to travel, it will take two hours, but I can't confirm the specific time right now."
Nian Nian nodded.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Hearing that her voice sounded strange, Han Shiyi asked.
Nian Nian shook her head, but because she was wearing too many clothes, Han Shiyi didn't see her shaking her head.
Han Shiyi tightened the reins and the horse stopped temporarily.
He dismounted, carrying Nian Nian down with him, and found a clean place to put her down.
"Sister Nian Nian, are you okay?"
As soon as Han Shiyi finished speaking, Nian Nian vomited.
She had eaten little in the morning, and now all she vomited was acid. Han Shiyi didn't mind, and wiped her lips with the sleeve of his clothes to clean the dirt on her body.
Nian Nian looked at him, "Brother Han, don't you think it's dirty?"
"No problem."
"Sister Nian Nian, are you feeling better? Can you get on the horse now?"
Nian Nian hummed, "I've vomited it all. I should be fine now. It's just that I feel weak all over now. I'm afraid I can't sit still. I'm sorry to trouble Brother Han for the trouble."
Han Shiyi didn't say anything. He first carried Nian Nian and put her on the horse's back, and then he got on.
He patted the horse's butt lightly, held Nian Nian in one hand, grabbed the reins with the other, and rode quickly.
Soon the horse ran a long distance.
Han Shiyi was very worried when he realized that the girl in his arms didn't respond. He reached out and pinched Nian Nian's arm.
I shouted loudly, "Sister Nian Nian, don't sleep."
"Brother Han, I didn't sleep, I just took a nap. You just keep going."
She felt a little sleepy and wanted to sleep.
But she didn't dare tell Han Shiyi, for she was afraid that Han Shiyi would worry. Nian Nian leaned in Han Shiyi's arms and slowly fell asleep.
Han Shiyi kept holding her arm and let Nian Nian lean on his chest. Gradually, the temperature between the two of them rose, and his body became warm, thinking that it could also warm Nian Nian.
I don’t know how far I walked or how long it took.
Nian Nian was drowsy as if she had had a dream. In the dream, she saw her past three lives and three worlds, which flashed before her eyes like a passing show.
Later, she recalled the memory of growing up quietly in the forest before she turned into a human form.
It was a memory from so long ago that she could hardly remember it.
She was in a forest, enduring rain, wind, and sun, and growing slowly...
Later, some ginseng people came into the mountains, and she was dug up before she was fully grown.
Tied with red ropes, she couldn't move, and when she thought she was about to die, she was found by a little boy.
He seemed to be able to hear what she was thinking.
"Little Ginseng, can you tell me? I'll help you leave, and you'll always stay with me from now on, okay?"
The little boy was very thin and small, and he was always coughing. He would breathe heavily three times after talking to her for just a few words.
Little Ginseng said, okay.
The little boy stole her away.
She took him to a mountain, which seemed to belong to him, and he seemed to be the master of the mountain, because she had been staying on the mountain the whole time and had only seen him.
He fed her day and night with his finger blood.
She said no.
But the little boy said that a drop of blood can be used to recognize the master.
Little Ginseng laughed at him and said he was so weird.
She lived with him in the form of ginseng. She grew up little by little, very slowly, and the little boy changed his appearance every year. Later, he left the mountains.
He wanted to dig her out and take her away.
She said, I can't leave, my roots are very deep, if you dig me up and move me to another place, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive.
The little boy who had grown into a teenager was reluctant to leave.
Later, he never came back.
It was only a long time later that she learned from a few birds that the mountain was called Yunlan Mountain.
Only then did she realize that Yunlan Mountain was the later Yunlan Villa.
Han Shiyi...
She whispered.
Han Shiyi was worried that Nian Nian would be cold. Seeing that she didn't react, Han Shiyi stopped his horse. Just as he was about to look at Nian Nian, he heard her calling him.
"Sister Nian Nian, it's me, I'm here, don't be afraid."
"We're almost there. We'll be entering the city soon. Just hold on a little longer."
Nian Nian raised her eyelids and took a look, and what she saw was a pair of eyes full of worry for her.
"Thank you."
She fell into a deep sleep again, and when she woke up, she found herself back at the Chen family's mansion, and her mother was guarding the house.
“Nian Nian…”
Yun Qiao was scared to death when she saw her daughter's pale face. She thought Nian Nian was going to confess this time. Fortunately, she survived.
"Don't worry, mother. I'm fine."
"It's just cold. You know, I'm afraid of the cold."
Yun Qiao reached out and tucked the hair behind her ear.
"You fell asleep. When Han Shiyi brought you here, you were calling his name, Nian Nian, you..."
Yun Qiao wants to ask, do you like him?
But she felt that she didn't want to ask at this time, but if she didn't ask, she would always be thinking about this matter in her heart.
"Mom, didn't you say that Han Shiyi is a good person? I think he's a good person too. If this life is destined to be so short, why shouldn't I cherish the person in front of me?"
"With him, I suppose."
Ruoruo had just finished talking with her brother. She blamed her brother for not taking good care of Sister Nian Nian, which caused Sister Nian Nian to become so seriously ill.
She was taking her brother to seek punishment from her mother.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the door, I heard what Sister Nian Nian said.
Ruoruo didn't react for a long time.
She turned to look at Han Shiyi, her eyes showing a little displeasure, "Brother, what did you do to Sister Nian Nian? Why did you fall for you after this trip?"
Han Shiyi was still immersed in the great joy of being liked by Nian Nian.
Hearing his sister's words, he was stunned for a moment and really thought about it seriously.
"I didn't do anything."
He just helped Nian Nian catch a woman who stole money from the farm, made a snow scene for Nian Nian, and then hunted a few rabbits and pheasants for her to eat.
In the end, was it considered doing it for Nian Nian?
Han Shiyi didn't think so. He did all these things willingly. Even if he couldn't win her favor and had to work like a slave for her, Han Shiyi thought to himself that he was willing to do so.
Ruoruo snorted.
"Even if you are my biological brother, you can't take Sister Nian Nian away."
After saying that, she walked towards the house, first called out "Mom" politely, and then walked to the bed.
Seeing Nian Nian’s haggard and pale face, Ruoruo’s eyes turned red first.
"My brother didn't take good care of Sister Nian Nian. Why do you still like him? He's not good enough."
Ruoruo has always known that her brother likes Sister Nian Nian.
But she always felt that this was just her brother's unrequited love. How could Sister Nian Nian possibly like her brother?
Yun Qiao smiled and didn't say anything wrong about Han Shiyi.
Nian Nian glanced at Ruoruo and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"Tell your brother that I'm fine and let him go back and rest. I really troubled him today."
Fortunately, we arrived on horseback. If we had taken a carriage, we would probably still be stuck in the mud on the road.
Xiaotao sent someone with the news that the carriage had broken down in a village before entering the city. The mud was deep and it could not move forward or backward. The wheels were all covered in mud. Several maids, old women and servants came down to push the carriage out.
However, the carriage was pushed out, but the wheels were broken.
It was almost dark when I got back.
The people in the mansion sent a carriage to pick them up.
Before Nian Nian woke up, Xiao Tao and the others had just returned, but their bodies were covered in mud and their shoes were useless.
Fortunately, we didn't take a carriage.
Ruoruo lay in front of her sister and said a lot of caring words.
But she also knew that Sister Nian Nian's priority now was to take care of her health, so she didn't dare to stay any longer. She just chatted with Ruoruo for a while and then left.
Yun Qiao comforted her with a few words and asked her to rest, then went to the kitchen.
I personally made some medicinal porridge for Nian Nian.
Ruoruo came out of the house and saw her brother still waiting.
