Dong Huiying said with a smile, "I’ve cooked a medicinal meal for Shujun, you all can have some too. All the herbs used are for nourishing the body, and they’re only good for you." As she entered, she found the brothers gathered around the round wooden table, with Zhi Chen, Shu Yu, and Shujun sitting, while the remaining three stood. She set the tray on the table and then served a portion to each of the six people. When she handed the soup bowl to Shujun, her hand trembled slightly, but she quickly regained composure. "Be careful, it’s hot," she said in a gentle tone. After making some gentle inquiries about their comfort, she turned to everyone and said, "Drink this to warm up and try to get to sleep early." Liang Zhichen looked thoughtful, Shu Yu took a quick glance at Dong Huiying, and Yixuan kept his head down in silence... Baobao was never good at hiding her feelings, she probably—heard it, right? After Dong Huiying left, Liang Zhichen found an excuse, claiming he wanted to discuss the next day’s route with Baobao, and went out to look for her. When he came out, he saw Dong Huiying leaning against the wall. He strode over to her and suddenly opened his arms, enveloping her in a warm embrace. Dong Huiying bit her lip and then said softly, "I’m fine, don’t worry about me." She squeezed out a cheerful smile, then slowly turned back and gently held Zhi Chen’s white hair. Her expression was a mix of heartache and complexity. Zhi Chen’s voice was a bit hoarse, "Shujun is just under a lot of stress." Zhi Chen ruffled her hair and then hugged her gently once more. "Think on the bright side, no matter what the future holds, the six of us will be by your side, always with you, so don’t think too much. What Shujun is afraid of is that you might end up with only one, and if that one leaves before you do, it would leave you lonely. I bet that in a few days he will regret what he said today." "Heh..." Dong Huiying was amused by his words. And that night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The Liang Family Brothers, all six of them, were also somewhat sleepless. Shujun, in particular, was the most restless. In fact, he knew, he knew that Baobao already knew. He touched his chest, as if sharp needles were poking holes in it, a myriad of wounds; his heart was riddled with holes. Would Baobao blame him? He really wasn’t a good man; he had made Baobao sad. In the following days, the group traveled intermittently. Dong Huiying gave Shujun acupuncture every day. Shujun’s blindness was mainly due to bruising in the head that pressed on the optic nerve, and recovery of sight was possible once the intracranial hemorrhage was resolved. Yun Ge had Hong Fei dispatch some people. Whenever they passed through towns, they would take Dong Feiyan and Xu Wenzhou, who were unaccustomed to the world, out for a sightseeing trip. On one occasion, Yun Ge discovered that the youngest of the Dong family had a talent for perfumery. Knowing a bit about it herself, she would guide the young Dong whenever she had spare time. Time flew by quickly, and it seemed in the blink of an eye, all the leaves had fallen from the trees, and the weather had become colder. Winter was approaching. Dayuan’s winter was very cold, with heavy snows and a landscape covered in ice for thousands of miles; some even froze to death in this harsh weather. One evening at dinner, Dong Huiying suddenly said, "Let’s find a place to spend the winter!" Yun Ge’s eyes lit up, "Come back to the Middle Part with me. Everyone is there, waiting for you." "The Middle Part?" Dong Huiying looked at Yun Ge with puzzlement. But Liang Zhichen said, "Right now, with all of us in the north, the Middle Part is too far. The journey alone would take months. If we leave now, by the time we reach the Middle Part, it will already be spring."
