When Yu Shu left Fu An Escort Agency, it was already noon. She went to Sun Ji Tavern to pick up Yu Xiaoxiu. When Yu Xiaoxiu saw her getting another bag of silver, he was so surprised that he asked her where she got the money. He heard that Fu An Escort Agency invited her to be a regular customer, so even if she did nothing every month, she would still get 20 silver taels. Yu Xiaoxiu was even happier than Yu Shu.
"Sister, does that mean you don't need to get up early every day to set up your stall?" Yu Xiaoxiu thought that 20 silver taels every month was enough for them to spend in An Ling City. His sister doesn't need to work hard anymore.
"Why not?" Yu Shu hugged the silver bag in her arms and said: "Do you think 20 silver taels is enough? Do you think learning is free?"
Yu Xiaoxiu thought that she was talking about him, so he felt strange and said: "You can teach me, why do I need to spend money?"
In the past, Yu Shu told Yu Xiaoxiu that there was a master who taught her how to learn. At that time, Yu Xiaoxiu thought that she was lying to him. But after a series of accidents, he believed that it was true. He felt that with his sister's ability, she was more than enough to teach him.
Yu Shu shook her head: "Most of the things that I know, you can't learn. You have to start from the proper books. To be honest, your sister is only a dabbler. I'm still far from being a master. Didn't we agree that in the future, we will open a Da Yi Store, make a lot of money, live in a big house, and be respected by people? We can't delay learning. You want to learn, and I want to master. How can we cook without rice and learn without a teacher? We have to go to the Da Yi Store to buy books. In the future, we also have to visit the master's house to ask for advice. A book costs more than 10 silver taels. Don't you need money for the gifts? Do you think 20 silver taels is enough? "
Yu Xiaoxiu scratched his head: "But you can't earn much money by setting up a stall. It's so tiring."
"Who said you can't make money? What's this?" Yu Shu stuffed the money bag in her hand into Yu Xiaoxiu's arms. "Now that we have a business, it will only get better in the future. It doesn't matter if we are tired. If we want to live a good life, how can we wait for money to fall from the sky? Don't you agree?"
Yu Xiaoxiu held the silver in his arms and curled his lips. "You're the only one who's tired. I haven't done anything yet."
Yu Shu rubbed his head. She laughed heartily and said, "Because I'm the older sister."
In her previous life, she had done a lot of stupid things that she couldn't bear to look back on. However, there was one thing that she was still proud of five hundred years ago. She was a good sister, from beginning to end.
Yu Xiaoxiu suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He raised his hand to rub his eyes and put it down. He secretly tugged on Yu Shu's sleeve and followed her steps. He always felt that no matter how far the road was, it wouldn't be difficult to walk.

With money in hand, Yu Shu was on the way home. She turned a corner and went to the medicine shop. She told the doctor the prescription that Jing Chen took. She bought ten days' worth of medicine and a few pieces of ointment that were said to be very effective in removing scars.
The wound on Jing Chen's abdomen had already healed, but there was a bumpy scar left. Yu Shu didn't see it with her own eyes, but she heard Yu Xiaoxiu talk about it.
When they arrived at the door, Yu Shu was carrying some things in her hands. Yu Xiaoxiu walked in front of her to open the door. The bolt was not on, so it opened with a push. Yu Xiaoxiu took a step forward and was stunned.
Yu Shu saw that he was blocking the door, so she used her elbow to push him. Yu Xiaoxiu suddenly turned his head. Pointing at the door, he stammered, "Jing … Jing … Jing …"
"What scenery?" Yu Shu heard the rustling sounds in the yard and pushed Yu Xiaoxiu aside. She entered the door and froze.
He saw that in the small courtyard of the Siheyuan. His vision was filled with a white silhouette, a long sword with green light floating around it, hissing as it cut through the wind. His footsteps were as light as a swallow's, sometimes advancing and sometimes retreating, his movements were just right. He pointed the sword and drew the sword, like a flood dragon.
The person wielding the sword had his hair draped over his shoulders and his expression was solemn. One moment, one could see him clearly, the next moment, it was hard to see him clearly. As he walked sideways, the ends of his hair brushed against the tips of his eyebrows. He was born with a righteous aura that was ferocious and evil. His clear eyes seemed to be able to reflect all the impure things in the world.
The last ray of green light was drawn out from the sword. He turned his wrist and retracted it behind his back. He stood tall and closed his eyes. Everything was quiet, only the sound of his long breath could be heard.
Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu stood at the door, while Xia Mingming squatted at the door. At this point, the three of them were dumbfounded. It was Yu Shu who reacted first. She carried her bags and ran forward, excitedly shouting, "Jing Chen, did you remember?"
Hearing this shout, Jing Chen came back to his senses. He looked down and saw the person in front of him. Out of habit, he wanted to smile at her. However, before the corners of his mouth could rise, he felt a burning pain in his chest. He coughed violently and there was a fishy taste in his mouth. He raised his hand to cover his mouth, wanting to cover it up, but it was too late. He saw panic in Yu Shu's eyes.
"What's wrong? Quick, go inside and lie down," Yu Shu saw Jing Chen vomit blood. She hurriedly dropped the bags in her hands and supported him. She directed Yu Xiaoxiu to close the door while Xia Mingming went to the kitchen to get some water.
Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu supported the unsteady Jing Chen to lie down on the bed. They pulled his hand away from his mouth and saw that his eyes were closed. His mouth was scarlet. Xia Mingming went to the kitchen to get some water.
That night, they had jumped off the ship to escape. Because he had blocked that sword strike, Jing Chen had been seriously injured. However, at her request, he had carried Xia Mingming on his back and insisted on accompanying her for a long distance. At that time, in the cave, she had started a fire, and the first thing she had seen was Jing Chen leaning against the mountain wall with his head lowered. The image of him covered in blood had lingered in her mind for a long time.
She was not a person who was easily soft-hearted. When it was time to be cruel, she could be said to have a heart of stone. However, towards Jing Chen, she had a rare compassion. It was different from how she treated Zhao Hui and Xia Mingming. She treated Zhao Hui well because she wanted to repay her kindness. She was tolerant towards Xia Mingming because she wanted to benefit from him in the future.
However, towards Jing Chen, her compassion was playing tricks on her. She knew that this was a big trouble, but she still accepted him.
She didn't even know where that compassion came from. Perhaps it was because of Jing Chen's helpless fate, or perhaps it was because of his pure and kind nature, or perhaps it was because he had been by her side twice when she was in trouble, so that she wouldn't have to face it alone when she was at her wit's end.
She wanted to help Jing Chen, but she didn't know how. She didn't have the ability to help him find the person who broke his fate, and she didn't have the guts to take the risk to bring him back to Dragon Tiger Mountain. She could only keep him by her side, pretending that she didn't see how much he wanted to recover his memory, pretending that she didn't know about his helplessness and helplessness.
Yu Shu laughed at herself. She took a handkerchief and wiped the blood and sweat on Jing Chen's face. Then, she broke his blood-stained fingers and carefully wiped them one by one. Jing Chen slightly opened his eyes. When he saw Yu Shu, he was relieved and closed them again. His chest rose and fell, and his whole body was weak. After a while, he fell asleep.
***
While Jing Chen was unconscious, Yu Shu went out to find a doctor. Because of the previous example, she specially found a doctor who knew how to diagnose internal injuries. The diagnosis was not far from what she guessed. Jing Chen's previous internal injury hadn't healed yet, so he used his internal force recklessly. His meridians couldn't bear the weight, and his five internal organs were injured, so he vomited blood.
After asking Yu Xiaoxiu to send the doctor away, Yu Shu tucked Jing Chen in and called Xia Mingming outside the room to talk.
"What happened?"
Xia Mingming smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know. I was lying in the room at that time. I heard the noise outside, so I went out to have a look. He was practicing swordsmanship, and then he followed you back."
Yu Shu knew that she wouldn't lie, so she gave her a string of money and sent her to buy food on the street. Then, she turned around and went back to the room to take care of Jing Chen. She had to wait for him to wake up before she could ask him if he recovered his memory or only remembered martial arts.
The three of them ate lunch in the afternoon. Yu Shu squatted in the courtyard and brewed medicine. Kim Bao was originally basking in the sun at her feet, but when he smelled the medicine, he moved away a little. This little Blondie had been eating and drinking, and he didn't move much. He had grown fat, and when he was lying down, he looked like a hairy ball.
Jing Chen gave Yu Shu a lot of ink paintings. Among them, Kim Bao took up most of the space. There were all kinds of interesting and lively poses. Yu Shu didn't think it was strange at that time, but now that she thought about it, she realized that Jing Chen had put in a lot of effort. One must know that Kim Bao was sleeping most of the time, so it wasn't easy to capture his movements to paint.
Jing Chen only woke up at night. Yu Shu was sitting by his bed, reading a book. The dim light was enough for him to see her face clearly. When she was quiet, she was very different from when she was talking. She didn't have those lively gestures, and the emotions that she inadvertently revealed made him feel more real. When he saw the tiredness in the corner of her eyes, he felt a little sad. He didn't know why.
He lifted his hand. As soon as he moved, Yu Shu turned her head. When she saw that he had woken up, her face lit up with joy. She put the book aside and moved to the head of the bed. She asked with concern, "You're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Jing Chen shook his head.
Yu Shu put on a serious face. "Don't lie to me."
Jing Chen hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and put it on his heart.
"Is it only here?" Yu Shu asked to confirm.
Jing Chen nodded.
Yu Shu let out a sigh of relief. "It's okay. It should be a blood clot. Let me rub it for you."
Before Jing Chen could react, she stretched out her hand, pushed his hand away, and pressed it on his chest. Because his outer shirt was stained with blood, he only had a thin shirt on his upper body. Her warm palm rubbed on his chest through a layer of cloth. He didn't know why, but it didn't make him feel better. Instead, it made him more flustered.
Jing Chen subconsciously pressed the back of Yu Shu's hand, not letting her move again.
When Yu Shu's hand was suddenly grabbed by him, the sound of someone's heartbeat more or less called back her feminine consciousness. Her face slightly blushed. But when she thought that Jing Chen thought she was a man, she put aside the uneasiness and asked, "What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
Jing Chen shook his head. He took her hand away from his chest and put it on the edge of the bed. His fingers moved a little, but he didn't let go. He just held her hand, which was much smaller than his, in case she would rub his chest again.
