The warm sunlight shone into the forest and onto Guan Xilin's face. He frowned slightly and moved the fingers on his left hand. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the sunlight that shone through the leaves above his head.
"You're awake?"
The soft voice made Guan Xilin startled. "Little brother?" He wanted to sit up, but the wound on his body was pulled and he gasped in pain.
"You're still injured. Don't move."
Fengjiu held him down and looked at him with a complicated gaze. "You don't even know my name. Why did you protect me with your life?"
"Little brother, are, are you angry?" He looked at him nervously.
"Answer me."
Seeing his serious expression, he could only say, "I'm older than you, and you're my little brother. If there's any danger, of course I have to protect you."
Fengjiu was slightly startled. He didn't expect such a simple reason.
"Little brother …"
"My name is Fengjiu." She suddenly opened her mouth and looked at his stunned face. "And, I'm a girl."
"Ah? W- W- W- W- W- W-
This time he was so shocked that he stuttered. No matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a girl. Which girl would dare to face a pack 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 flashed. "The bone in your right shoulder was bitten off by that beast."
"Oh." He glanced at her and replied.
"What I mean is, your right hand is crippled."
This time, he paused and narrowed his eyes. "Yes."
"Do you regret it?"
Hearing this, Guan Xilin looked at her, shook his head, and said seriously, "I don't regret it. If I didn't block it and it bit you, you might not have survived. I'm a man, and I'm strong. It's just one arm, so it's fine. I can't hold a sword with my right hand, so I'll practice with my left hand."
Hearing this, Fengjiu was startled for a long time. After a while, he revealed a smile. "You really are an idiot."
"Little Brother, no, Xiao Jiu, I'm not stupid. I'm just more honest." He grinned and chuckled, not at all dispirited by his crippled right hand.
"Would an honest person say that he's honest?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at him. She secretly decided that she would definitely cure his right hand.
"Xiao Jiu, did you encounter any danger when you went to pick herbs? Why are you gone for so long? "
Thinking about how he had waited there for an entire day and night without seeing her return, he thought that she had encountered another ferocious beast, so he wanted to run over to look for her. Unexpectedly, he was besieged by wolves and tigers.
"There was an accident, and I was chased by two bears all over the forest. Are you hungry? I'll go hunt some wild animals nearby and roast them. "
She briefly explained, not intending to say much about what she had encountered in the past day and night.
"I'm hungry, but don't go too far." He said worriedly.
"Got it." She smiled, got up, and walked around.
A few days later, in Jiufu Forest.
During this period of time, the two of them had become closer. Knowing that Fengjiu was alone, Guan Xilin shouted that he wanted to acknowledge her as his sister.
Fengjiu couldn't persuade him, and also felt that it was a good idea to acknowledge him as an older brother. Thus, the two of them performed a simple ceremony to confirm their sibling relationship.
