The warm sunlight fell in the forest and shone on Guan Xilin's face under the tree. His brows wrinkled slightly, and the fingers of his left hand moved slightly. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, looking somewhat dazedly at the sunlight slanting through the leaves above his head.
"woke up?"
A gentle voice came, and Guan Xilin was stunned for a moment: "Little brother?" He wanted to sit up, but pulled the wound on his body, and he gasped in pain.
"You are still injured, don't move."
Fengjiu held him down, looked at him with complicated eyes, and asked: "You don't even know my name, why did you risk your life to protect me like that?"
"Little brother, are you angry?" He looked at him anxiously.
"Answer me."
Seeing his serious expression, he had no choice but to say, "I am older than you, and you are my younger brother. If there is any danger, of course I have to protect you."
Fengjiu was slightly startled. She didn't expect it to be such a simple reason.
"Little brother..."
"My name is Fengjiu." She suddenly spoke, her eyes falling on his stunned face: "Besides, I'm a woman."
"Ah? Female, female, female?"
This time he was so shocked that he stuttered, because he didn't look like a woman at all, and which woman would dare to face a group of wolves alone like him
Moreover, he always thought that 'he' was him and never thought that 'he' was actually her.
Looking at him stupidly, her eyes flickered slightly and she said, "The tendons of your right shoulder bone were bitten off by that beast."
"Oh." He glanced at her and responded.
"I mean, your right hand is broken."
This time, he paused slightly and lowered his eyes: "Yeah."
"Do you regret it?"
Hearing this, Guan Xilin looked at her, shook his head and said seriously: "No regrets, if I didn't block it, if it bit you, you might not survive. I'm a man, and I'm strong, it's just one arm that's broken, it's okay, my right hand can't hold the sword, I will practice with my left hand in the future."
Hearing this, Feng Jiu was stunned for a long time, and only smiled after a long while: "You are indeed a fool."
"Brother, no, Xiaojiu, I'm not stupid, I'm just honest." He grinned and laughed, not at all depressed by the fact that his right hand was disabled.
"Would an honest person say that he is honest?" She glanced at him with raised eyebrows and secretly decided in her heart that she must cure his right hand.
"Xiaojiu, did you encounter any danger while collecting herbs? Why did you take so long?"
Thinking that he had waited there for a day and a night but she didn't come back, he thought she had encountered a ferocious beast again, so he wanted to run to find her, but unexpectedly he was besieged by wolves and tigers.
"Something went wrong. Two bears chased me all over the forest. Are you hungry? I'll go hunt some game nearby and grill it."
She just said a few words and didn't intend to say more about what she had encountered that day and night.
"I'm hungry, but don't go too far." He said a little worriedly.
"Got it." She smiled, stood up and walked around.
A few days later, in the forest
The time they spent together made the two of them closer. Knowing that Fengjiu was the only one, Guan Xilin shouted that he wanted to acknowledge her as his sister.
