"Girl, do you want to go outside and have a look?" Tang Jun asked.
The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "If Grandpa goes, I’ll go. I want to follow Grandpa."
"What about your mom and dad?" Tang Jun asked cautiously. It seemed like only the girl and her grandfather lived here, without anyone else. Could it be that the girl’s parents were working outside?
Nowadays, many people go outside to work.
"They’re no longer here." The girl said with some sadness, "Grandma passed away early too, so it’s just me and Grandpa."
Tang Jun was thinking about how to comfort her when the girl swiftly changed the subject, saying lightly, "Brother Tang, although I only have Grandpa, my Grandpa is the best in the world."
When the girl talked about her grandpa, she wore a proud expression, saying, "My Grandpa is a doctor and knows a lot about herbs. The uncles and elders in the village all respect Grandpa. When I grow up, I want to be like Grandpa and help the sick."
"You want to be a doctor?" Tang Jun remembered Yuan Yu, and he encouraged her, "Then study well, and become a doctor who saves lives in the future."
"I will." The girl nodded excitedly. Becoming a doctor was her biggest wish now.
The girl loved to talk and continued chatting with Tang Jun about the village. Although anxious to connect with the outside world, Tang Jun was in a unique situation and had to wait for the girl’s grandfather to return to talk about it.
The village seemed very pure from the girl’s words.
Tang Jun thought the place must be as beautiful as a land of peach blossoms.
"Brother Tang, we seldom have outsiders in our village, you’re the first!" the girl suddenly said. She remembered the sister she just found, saying, "Normally, we don’t see one outsider a year here, but after I found Brother Tang, I found a sister too."
"That sister is really pretty, I’ve never seen such a pretty sister," the girl said joyfully, not noticing the change in Tang Jun.
"Girl, you said you found a sister?" Tang Jun, excitedly reaching out, grabbed the girl’s hand.
The girl felt pain in her hand but nodded at Tang Jun’s excitement, thinking he couldn’t see, she corrected herself, "Yes, Brother Tang, we found a sister. She wore a white shirt, and I heard Grandpa say she’s a doctor."
"Doctor, sister, very pretty."
Tang Jun was almost certain the sister the girl mentioned was Yuan Yu. He asked, "Girl, is she injured? Where is she now?"
Tang Jun wanted to rush out and find her, but all he saw was darkness.
"She’s injured, just at Fat Aunt’s home."
The girl answered Tang Jun’s questions one by one. She asked, "Brother Tang, do you know..." her?
Before finishing, the girl sensed a gust of wind then heard ’bang’ and ’clang’ sounds.
Tang Jun’s tall figure fell to the ground.
"Brother Tang, be careful."
The girl felt a heart-racing fright seeing Brother Tang bump into tables and chairs. If he had hit fire or hot water, he could have injured himself.
"Brother Tang, if you want to see the sister, I’ll take you." The girl helped Tang Jun up and guided him.
"Tang Jun, do you know her?"
Mr. Miao asked, then recalled Tang Jun’s blindness, asking, "The girl seems like a doctor, but I don’t know if she’s someone you know."
How to confirm if she was Yuan Yu?
Suddenly, Tang Jun remembered a special mark: the necklace Yuan Yu wore when stranded in the mountains, saying, "It’s my mom’s dowry; I’ve worn it since I was little."
Yuan Yu’s nostalgia while talking about Mrs. Yuan deeply touched Tang Jun.
Tang Jun excitedly said, "Grandpa Miao, could you check her neck for a necklace with a heart pendant?"
"There is."
Before Mr. Miao responded, Fat Aunt, who changed Yuan Yu’s clothes, said, "The necklace is gold; that heart looks nice."
Fat Aunt thought the girl was pretty and admired the shiny gold necklace while changing Yuan Yu.
"Yuan Yu."
Tang Jun was now certain she was Yuan Yu; he moved forward, asking, "Grandpa Miao, she’s a doctor. How is she now?"
Knowing it was Yuan Yu, Tang Jun’s concern for her was evident.
"Worry about yourself instead, kid." Mr. Miao glanced at Tang Jun, saying, "You’re just recovering, your eyes can’t see, and the fever just broke. Yet, you came with barely any clothes. Do you wish harm upon yourself?"
