In the end, Jing Chen still stayed on the ship. Yu Shu was afraid that he would bring trouble to the caravan, so she wanted to obtain the birth dates of Bi Qing and Doctor Sun, who had been in contact with Jing Chen. Unfortunately, the birth date was a rather private matter for people. It was fine to tell outsiders the year, month, and birthday, but the birth date was not something that could be easily revealed to outsiders. Unless it was a marriage, or if it was to go to the Yi Hall to ask for a divination.
It was rude to rashly ask for the other person's birth time. Considering the friendship between Yu Shu and Bi Qing, it was not to the extent that she could pry. She asked in a roundabout way, but she only knew that Bi Qing was 31 years old this year and was born in September.
To avoid suspicion, Yu Shu had to give up the idea of judging the disaster for the two of them. When she concentrated on looking at Yu Xiaoxiu's birth time, she would tell her own divination when she had nothing to do. Anyway, they were all on the same boat, so there should be some signs that something was going to happen.
After Jing Chen woke up that night, he got out of bed in the middle of the night. The next day, he was strictly ordered by Yu Shu to stay in bed. He was not in good spirits. Except for eating and drinking medicine, he slept the rest of the time.
Just like that, three days passed. Jing Chen's voice showed no signs of recovery, and his memory was still blank. Yu Shu tried to induce him to recall what happened after he left Yiyang City, but to no avail.
Fortunately, Jing Chen did not show excessive emotions because of the two heavy blows of amnesia and speechlessness. He very calmly accepted the reality, took medicine on time, and obediently rested. There was no need for her to worry about him at all.
The only thing that made Yu Shu embarrassed was that when Jing Chen was awake, he would always write on her hand and ask her about himself. It was clear that he did not care about amnesia.
However, Yu Shu's understanding of Jing Chen was limited to the short two months in Yiyang City. She could not tell him much, and the secret that he was destined to offend Kedu Star was hard for her to say. She really could not bring herself to tell him that he was actually a jinx under such circumstances.
She had to hide this part and told Jing Chen that he was a Taoist and went down the mountain to find someone. They met in Yiyang City. Later, when Jing Chen said goodbye to her and met him again, he became like this. She did not know what happened during this period.
Jing Chen did not stay awake for long, so he did not ask many questions. But every day when he was awake, he would "chat" with Yu Shu.
This morning, after Jing Chen took medicine, the two were "chatting" again. Jing Chen's slender fingertips were drawing on Yu Shu's palm. It was a little itchy. She focused on his strokes, so she could not to laugh and retract her hand.
"Where are we going by ship?" Jing Chen wrote very seriously. He was afraid that Yu Shu could not see clearly, so after he finished writing, he would ask with his eyes.
"We are going to the capital. Do you know the capital?" Yu Shu had discovered in the past few days that Jing Chen could write and had some basic knowledge. There was nothing wrong with his IQ. It was just that he couldn't remember everything and everyone.
Jing Chen shook his head, indicating that he did not know where the capital was. Because Yu Shu knew that he grew up in Longhu Mountain, he did not have much contact with the outside world, so she was not surprised by his "ignorance". She patiently explained to him, "The capital is where the emperor lives. Do you know the emperor? He is the most honorable person in the world."
Jing Chen nodded. His fingers paused on her palm before he lowered his head and slowly wrote, "Can I go with you?"
After reading this sentence, Yu Shu raised her head and saw Jing Chen looking at her with a slightly nervous gaze. It was as if he was worried that she would leave him behind. Yu Shu could not help but feel a little sour in her heart.
The current Jing Chen was not the lone ranger who could come and go as he pleased. He did not know where he came from, nor did he know where he should go. The only person he could trust was Yu Shu, who knew who he was. Although she did not show it, he still felt uneasy.
"Of course, you have to go with me. Otherwise, where do you want to go?" Yu Shu reached out and lightly hit Jing Chen's shoulder.
Hearing this, Jing Chen's expression suddenly relaxed. He shook his head and wrote on her palm, "I have nowhere to go, I want to go with you." Yu Shu turned her hand over and picked up his wrist. She patted his hand that was wrapped in gauze, "Then let's go to the capital together."
There was a smile in Jing Chen's eyes. He happily looked at Yu Shu. His fingertips bent and gently held her palm. His fingertips touched her soft body temperature, making him feel at ease.
After dinner, Yu Shu was decocting medicine for Jing Chen. Yu Xiaoxiu suddenly screamed in the room. Yu Shu fanned herself while looking into the room. She saw him hurriedly lifted the quilt on the bed, climbed up and touched it, and finally crawled under the bed.
"Xiaoxiu, what are you doing?"
Yu Xiaoku did not answer. After a while, he crawled out from under the bed, squatted on the ground, and said to Yu Shu with a sad face, "Kim Bao, Kim Bao is missing."
"Ah?" Yu Shu's hand movement stopped, frowned and said, "Weren't you feeding it during dinner? How can it disappear?"
"I don't know, I just went downstairs to pee, and came back to read a book for a while. It, it disappeared!"
Yu Shu immediately put down the fan and went into the room with Yu Xiaoxiu to look for it. In the end, they even looked under Jing Chen's bed, but there was still no trace of Kim Bao.
Ever since Kim Bao left Yiyang City with the siblings, it had been very obedient, except for the fact that it liked to take Yu Xiaoxiu's clothes and grind its teeth.
Other than trying to bite through Yu Shu's money bag several times, it did not do anything excessive. At first, Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu would put it in a small bamboo cage. Later, when they saw that it had no intention of running away, they thought that it was cooked, so Yu Xiaoxiu didn't bother it anymore. When they slept, they just put it aside casually. When they woke up the next day, it was either sleeping next to Yu Xiaoxiu's pillow or nestling at Yu Shu's feet.
But they didn't expect that the little thing would run away just after the siblings stopped worrying about it.
They didn't have time to be angry. What Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu were afraid was that it would be seen by other people on the boat and be killed as a mouse.
The sound of them rummaging woke up Jing Chen, who was sleeping. He moved and turned his head to see Yu Shu coming out from under his bed. He was puzzled, so he knocked on the side of the bed twice to arouse Yu Shu's attention.
Yu Shu heard it and looked up to see that Jing Chen was awake. She knew that they were too loud, so she apologized, "Go back to sleep. The medicine hasn't healed yet. It's Kim Bao who disappeared. Let's look for it."
Jing Chen knew what Kim Bao was. Everything he came into contact with now was new, so he didn't feel anything wrong when he saw the little thing raised by Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu.
Seeing Yu Shu's anxious figure, Jing Chen didn't want to sleep anymore. He wanted to help, so he sat up on the bed with his arm. The pain from the wound made him frown uncomfortably. He reached out to press his abdomen and raised his head. He saw a person standing at the door and said to Yu Shu with an ugly face, "Hey, your thing ran into my room!" Yu Shu heard the voice and turned around. She saw Xia Mingming standing outside the door with her arms crossed and a fierce look.
Knowing that she was talking about Kim Bao, Yu Shu quickly got up from the ground and followed Xia Mingming to her room with Yu Xiaoxiu. Under Xia Mingming's angry gaze, they took Kim Bao from her bed and were chased out of the room. The quilt that Kim Bao had been lying on was also thrown out.
As soon as they returned to the room, Yu Shu rewarded Kim Bao with two bounces on its head and left it to Yu Xiaoxiu to educate. She turned around and saw Jing Chen sitting on the bed. She walked over and asked, "Are you thirsty?"
Jing Chen shook his head and looked at the empty door with a confused expression.
Following his gaze, Yu Shu looked at the door and said, "That's Xia Mingming. She lives next door. She spent money to hire a caravan to send her to the capital. She's on the same path as us. Don't be fooled by her bad temper. She's not a bad person."
Jing Chen's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound. He wanted to tell Yu Shu that when he saw the person at the door, he had a strange feeling. He couldn't tell what it was, but he felt that it was very important. He raised his hand and wanted to signal Yu Shu to come over and write for her to see.
But Yu Shu suddenly turned around and rushed to the door, screaming, "My medicine!" She laid on the stove and fanned the fire with a fan. She didn't see Jing Chen's action.
Jing Chen looked at Yu Shu's busy back and hesitantly put down his hand. Suppressing the strange feeling, he slowly lay back on the bed.
For the past few days, Yu Shu had been busy for him. Every day, she woke up early and went to bed late. He had seen it all. Unless it was necessary, he didn't want to bother her with anything. He wanted to recover quickly so that she wouldn't be so tired.
The boat traveled on the river for another two days and docked once. Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu didn't get off the boat to stroll. They only asked Bi Qing to bring some fresh fruits back.
Jing Chen's wound had scabbed. Doctor Sun allowed him to get off the bed and walk around. Only then did Yu Shu discover a very serious problem. Jing Chen only wore a pair of pants these days.
Of course, Jing Chen couldn't wear Yu Xiaoxiu and Yu Shu's clothes. Yu Shu waited for Bi Qing to buy them back on the boat and then went to borrow clothes from him. Bi Qing readily gave her two sets of summer clothes to change into.
To change into clean clothes, one must take a bath. These days when Jing Chen was lying on the bed, it was Yu Xiaoxiu who wiped his body. Although his body didn't smell, his hair hadn't been washed once. It was hard for Jing Chen to never say he felt uncomfortable.
Yu Shu asked Bi Qing to borrow the wooden bucket for his bath. She spent some money to hire a boatman to carry it upstairs and had someone boil two buckets of hot water to bring up.
Jing Chen had Yu Xiaoxiu's sweatshirt draped over him. He obediently sat by the bed and watched as Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu carried buckets of water and poured water into the large wooden bucket. The gauze on his body had just been removed yesterday. Yu Xiaoxiu's clothes were too small. At this moment, his chest was bare and there was a hideous black scar on his lean abdomen. There were three more similar wounds on his back that he couldn't see.
Yu Shu, who was adjusting the water temperature, raised her head and glanced at him. Her line of sight swept over the wound on his abdomen and she frowned. Jing Chen saw her looking at him, but he gently smiled at her.
"The water is ready. Let Xiaoxiu bathe you. Be careful, the floor is slippery. If your wound hurts, immediately tell him." Yu Shu adjusted the water temperature, wiped her hands and said to Jing Chen.
Jing Chen looked at her, then looked at the thin Yu Xiaoxiu. He shook his head and raised his hand to point at her.
Yu Shu didn't understand, so she walked over and stretched out her hand, asking him to write on it.
"Help me bathe." Jing Chen didn't know that Yu Shu was a girl. He made this request because he thought it would be more convenient for Yu Shu to bathe him.
Although she knew that Jing Chen didn't mean anything else, Yu Shu couldn't help but blush. She glared at him and said angrily, "You wish."
Then she left Jing Chen, who didn't know why he was scolded, and walked out of the room. "Bang!"
