Three days had passed since Mu Lian asked the Xu brothers to help solve Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's problems.
As Xiaofu and Xiaoqi showed strong reactions when Mu Lian talked about their past traumas, Mu Lian occasionally brought up the past and assured that now they were safe, nothing to fear or worry about.
The method Mu Lian used while waiting for news from the Xu brothers, fortunately the brothers did not disappoint Mu Lian because right on the next day, the next day, The Xu brothers told what Mu Lian should say to Xiaofu and Xiaoqi.
"This.I don't think. Thank you for sharing, really if there are no two of you I really don't know who to ask," Mu Lian said in deep thanks to the Xu brothers.
"No problem. Don't thank me, we don't know if this will work or not" said Xu Ke.
"It doesn't matter, we're happy to help. Just tell me all your difficulties, who knows we can help," Xu Jing said.
Xu Ke and Xu Jing deliberately came early in the morning and even came before Du Luhan who usually came very early to prepare breakfast for the children.
They knew for a fact that Mu Lian was already looking forward to an answer from them and Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's condition was already so critical that it could not be delayed any longer.
Mu Lian made small talk with the Xu brothers for a few minutes and then asked for permission to meet Xiaofu and Xiaoqi, the two brothers giving their best wishes to Xiaofu and Xiaoqi.
Along the way to the children's residence, Mu Lian pondered over the words the Xu brothers had spoken.
The words sounded so simple they even tended to be selfish but according to Mu Lian that was indeed what Xiaofu and Xiaoqi needed who had sacrificed a lot for his brothers.
When Mu Lian passed through the gate and walked through the garden, she was quite nervous about having to convey those words to Xiaofu and Xiaoqi.
Honestly, Mu Lian had never raised a conversation that was too personal let alone a matter of the heart. Mu Lian was forced to do something out of her habit.
"Ahem, ahem," Mu Lian cleared her throat a few times.
"For Lian jie...huahem, why come so early in the morning? Are we the bad luck?" said Xiaoqiu rubbing his still sticky eyes making it hard to open.
The sight of children walking in a daze to bump into each other until slips are seen everywhere.
Usually the ones helping the younger children get ready are Xiaobao, Xiaohua, Xiaoleng Xiaojia, Xiaofu and Xiaoqiu.
Since the six children were still sick, it was 9-year-olds and some 5-year-olds who replaced them.
But the 9-year-old and 5-year-old children also usually wake up rather unfortunate let alone all have been prepared by their brothers.
Mu Lian smiled, "Xiaoqiu, I will meet Xiaofu and Xiaoqi. I told you as long as you guys still get sick, there's no need to get up early.
The lesson can still go even though it is noon. You guys focus on recuperating and just adapting" Mu Lian said.
"It's okay! We can definitely!" xiaoqi said as she tried to round her eyes.
Mu Lian chatted for a while with Xiaohan who had just woken up from slipping then walked towards Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's room.
While at the door, Mu Lian sensed Xiaobai's existence inside Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's room.
"Xiaobai, it turns out you were here first" Mu Lian said.
"Lian jie's! Comehere! Strange as it is, they are very far away but not until they disappear too what is this? Yesterday was not like this!?" Xiaobai.
Sure enough, yesterday, Mu Lian felt Xiaofu and Xiaoqi improve. Somehow, their condition even returned like the first beginning they fell ill.
When recalling the story of the Xu brothers Mu Lian also knew the reason. There was still fear in Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's hearts.
It looks like today's treatment will be longer than usual. Even Mu Lian had intended for permission not to teach for today before Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's condition improved.
Mu Lian let out a long sigh, began to manipulate his spiritual energy both to draw Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's consciousness and get ready to use the needle in times of precariousness.
Mu Lian looked at Xiaofu and Xiaoqi who were lying weakly on the bed. The shadow of the main character in the story the Xu brothers told overlapped with Xiaofu and Xiaoqi.
A person who cares for his loved ones more than himself, to be able to sacrifice.
Someone who has absolutely no greedy words in his dictionary, has no desire whatsoever in this world other than happiness for his loved ones.
The end of the story is tragic. The loved one so that the main character in the story is willing to sacrifice, misunderstand the main character.
Finally came the feeling of envy so that the person hated the main character. And the main character who finally knew the feelings of his loved ones turned out to hate him, very sad and disappointed.
What happens next? There was only one word, hurting each other. Until they both reach the end of their lives.
The overabundance of good is immediately turned into poison for the loved one of the utma figure in the story while the main character, the main character, feeling very tired after all he has done for the person he loves the most.
The story continued to ring in Mu Lian's head. As long as Mu Lian withdrew Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's consciousness as well as when she used needles to stabilize the concoct medicine that flowed within the meridians of the two children.
Xiaobai sat quietly near Xiaofu's head then moved near Xiaoqi's head so on, monitoring the development of the two children.
Time goes by very fast. Xu Jing, Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu peeked out from behind the door and observed Mu Lian for a while.
After Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's condition stabilized, Mu Lian only realized the three pairs of eyes were staring at her from behind the door.
"Ah Jing, Xiaohan, Xiaoqiu. I cannot teach today. I will try to solve everything today," Mu Lian said.
Xu Jing, Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu understood that Mu Lian meant everything related to Xiaofu and Xiaoqi.
"We brought breakfast, better breakfast first," Xu Jing said. Mu Lian nodded.
"Xiaofu, Xiaoqi!" Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu immediately approached Xiaofu and Xiaoqiu after getting a signal of approval from Mu Lian to talk to them.
Since a few days ago, Mu Lian had forbidden the children to enter Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's room.
This creates tremendous anxiety. Fortunately, today Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu were already allowed to meet Xiaofu and Xiaoqi. This news will definitely spread very quickly children can breathe a sigh of relief.
Mu Lian quickly finished her breakfast and chased Xu Jing, Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu out of the room.
"Lian jie, they can already listen to the conversation. They heard what Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu said" Xiaobai said. Mu Lian nodded.
Mu Lian had to install a container containing Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's medicine because the old one was up. Only after connecting the container filled with greenish-colored liquid with thin needles did Mu Lian start chatting with Xiaofu and Xiaoqi.
Not forgetting that Mu Lian told the tragic ending, Mu Lian even told it exactly the same way the Xu brothers told her.
Mu Lian was afraid to change the content of the story if she changed the way she told stories. After the story was finished Mu Lian told Xiaofu and Xiaoqi that they could do better than the main character in the story.
"And remember, you can be selfish. If you don't want to do it don't do it. If you don't like something, say no.
You are only human, let alone your age is still 12 years old. The one who should bear the burden on his shoulders is an adult.
I know the circumstances of that time only allow you to act as a substitute for adults who have not been seen since they went against those people.
But after you meet us, you can do whatever you want..." Mu Lian explained.
Xiaofu and Xiaoqi were actually already very tired after becoming shields for the younger siblings. Their voices were the loudest and their attitudes were the most rebellious among the others just to attract the attention of the heretical sect people to the two.
After they were saved, Xiaofu and Xiaoqi so rarely spoke like they were rejecting the world. They no longer want to interfere with the business that is happening around them.
Xiaofu and Xiaoqi only wanted to live raising their younger siblings peacefully, which they could currently feel after living in the Magic Wagon.
But the name is also a heart wound, must be very difficult to heal. Moreover, this wound was like being exposed to salt after being exposed to an accelerator. Swell and fester again.
So that eventually made Xiaofu and Xiaoqi never wake up from his coma since the first major evolution in the True Cave.
"Don't worry about those tough kids. If they were weak, they would definitely not do the homework well, or study well, or eat voraciously not even stop acting like Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu.
Sorry if I was being too honest. But you two seem to be underestimating those kids. Even if you leave them alone, they can definitely survive with their intelligence.
So, you should also be able to put your trust in them. And live for yourselves. Because you two are human beings who have their own needs.
We are all human beings given the ability to grow and develop and adapt..."
Mu Lian closed the treatment session today by conveying the ultimate intent, which was to have Xiaofu and Xiaoqi live for themselves. Mu Lian continued to talk heart-to-heart with Xiaofu and Xiaoqi for a while.
Although Mu Lian was worried that the message was not conveyed it seemed like Mu Lian did not need to worry because from the corners of Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's eyes dripped water to form a circle stain near Xiaofu and Xiaoqi's faces.
