In order to protect Sima Lie, Sima Youyue cultivated in the house that night. She moved a chair to the side of the bed and sat cross-legged on it, beginning to cultivate the Soul Refining Technique.
The next morning, sunlight shone into the house.
Sima Lie slowly opened his eyes and looked at the sunlight that shone on Sima Youyue's body. He felt dazzled.
After cultivating for an entire night, the remaining fatigue from yesterday was swept away. Sima You Yue let out a long breath and slowly opened her eyes.
"Grandfather, you're awake?!" Seeing Sima Lie looking at her, Youyue was so excited that she almost jumped out of her chair.
Sima Lie nodded his head and looked at her kindly. Thinking of his previous situation, he knew that he must have frightened her.
"Youyue, how did you know I was here?"
"I met Third Brother and Fourth Brother in the mountains. They said that you live here. "Sima Youyue said," Aiya, you're awake. I'll call Third Brother and the others. You were injured and unconscious, which scared them to death. "
After speaking, she quickly ran out and quickly brought Sima You Ran and Sima You Le back.
"Grandfather, you're awake! Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? "
Sima Lie shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
"Shaoling, have the shop cook some porridge for breakfast." Sima You Yue said to Shao Ling who came in. Then she thought about it and realized that the things cooked in these places might not be drinkable. She changed her mind and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself. Third Brother, you guys stay here and take care of Grandpa. I'll go make some breakfast. "
Before Shao Ling could react, Sima Youyue had bypassed him and left.
He did not think that Sima Youyue would actually be able to save Sima Lie. Looking at his master who had opened his eyes again, his eyes turned slightly red. He came to the bed and knelt down: "General, your subordinate did not protect you well and caused you to suffer such a great disaster. Please punish me."
"Shaoling, get up. I was the one who didn't allow you to follow me, it's not your fault. "Although Sima Lie had woken up, he was still somewhat weak and spoke weakly.
"Shao Ling, just get up. Grandfather won't blame you." Sima You Ran said.
Sima You Le came to Shao Ling's side and pulled him up. He then said to Sima Lie: "Grandfather, you don't know how dangerous your situation was this time. If it wasn't for the fact that Fifth Brother knew to save you, I'm afraid that we would have …"
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood.
"Youyue saved me?" Sima Lie asked in surprise.
Sima You Ran nodded, saying, "That's right. When we arrived at the inn, we bumped into Shaoling who was checking out. He said he wanted to take you back to the capital to find Master Shi. But Fifth Brother checked you out and said that if you don't get treatment in time, you'll only live for half a day. Later, she used some needles to suppress the poison in your chest and delayed it for a day or two. "
"Yes, we invited some doctors to take a look, but they all said that there was no way. Later, it was Fifth Brother who found a way to save you during this period of time, and then he even guarded you for a night. She said you would wake up today, and you woke up this morning. "
"How did Youyue save me?" Hearing that his favourite granddaughter had saved him, Sima Lie was in a good mood.
"We don't know either. She told us to go out." Sima You Le said.
Sima Lie thought of the person behind Sima Youyue who had cured her poison. Could it be that that person had taught her?
Until now, Sima Lie still felt that someone was helping her from behind.
Because he was too weak, Sima Lie didn't say too much. Sima You Ran and the others just stayed by his side.
After a while, Sima Youyue came in with a bowl of porridge and said to Sima You Ran and the others: "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, I left some porridge in the kitchen. I'll feed Grandfather here. You guys go and eat something first. You guys haven't eaten for a day. "
"Okay." Sima You Ran and the others had eaten Sima Youyue's food a few times before, and they all fell in love with it. Since they hadn't eaten for a day, they were indeed a little hungry. As such, everyone went out and left Sima Lie in her care.
Sima Youyue placed the tray on the table and came to the bedside, saying: "Grandfather, I'll help you up so you can lean against me."
Sima Lie nodded and used her strength to move his body backwards and leaned against the pillow that she had prepared.
Sima Youyue brought the porridge over and scooped up a spoonful. She blew on it before feeding it to Sima Lie.
"Grandfather, this is a medicinal porridge that I added a few ingredients to. It will be very helpful for your recovery." Sima Youyue said as she fed him.
With Sima Lie's strength, he didn't need much food. In the past, he would accompany Sima Youyue to eat breakfast. He thought that it was just a habit, but he didn't expect that she had specially cooked porridge for him.
"Youyue's food is getting better and better." The porridge was fragrant and smooth. After eating it, he felt a warm current flow through his body, expelling all the coldness in his body. The strength in his body slowly returned.
"If Grandfather likes it, Youyue will make it for you more often in the future!" Sima Youyue said with a smile.
"Haha, good!" Sima Lie heard these heartwarming words and thought of the person who used to be with him all day long and didn't even return home. His heart was filled with emotions.
It was said that daughters were like cotton jackets, and his granddaughter had learned how to be considerate.
The grandfather and grandson duo finished the entire bowl of porridge in this warm atmosphere. After they were done, Sima Youyue even took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his mouth. Sima Lie's heart was in a mess.
After placing the bowl on the tray on the table, Sima Youyue returned and said, "Grandfather, do you feel better?"
"Mm, the effects of your medicinal porridge are really not bad. My body is now comfortably warm." Sima Lie said.
"That's good." Sima Youyue said, "Grandfather, how did you get injured?"
"It's nothing much. When I went out, I met an old enemy." Sima Lie said.
"Grandfather, don't try to coax me." Sima Youyue said, "Demons don't appear in the Yi Lin Continent. If it was an ordinary enemy, how could you be injured by the Six Toed Devil Mouse and leave behind Demon Qi in your body?"
"You're saying that it was a demon?!" Sima Lie looked at Sima Youyue with an expression of shock that was no less than when she first found out.
Sima Youyue nodded and said, "That's why I guessed that it wasn't an ordinary enemy that hurt you. And with Grandfather's strength, there aren't many in the entire continent who can hurt you. "
"So the monster that hit me at the end was actually a demon." Sima Lie muttered.
"Grandfather, you're still not going to tell me?" Sima Youyue said.
"You're really much smarter than before." Sima Lie said, "It's just that that person must have already gone back, so if I tell you …"
"Grandfather, since it was an enemy that wanted your life, it must not be an ordinary grudge. Just because they left now doesn't mean that they won't come back. If you don't tell us, what if we meet them later?" Sima Youyue interrupted Sima Lie's words, causing him to be stunned.
After a moment of silence, Sima Lie let out a long sigh and said, "Sigh, this is also an old grudge of our clan …"
