1564: Her Hope

Her Hope

After they had watched the figure in red disappear though the main entrance of the City Lord's manor, four men in grey clothes walked out of the dark and one of them asked: "Why didn't we make a move? With our strength it would be easy to take her life."0

"This is Shun Yan City and we are in the City Lord's territory. We;re in no hurry, she will leave here and we can make our move on the road." One of them said. 

"That's right, we can set up a trap on the road and wait for her to fall into it. She's just one girl, how hard can it be?"

"Keep two men here to keep an eye on things, and remember, don't get too close to avoid being discovered." One of them said. Two men stayed behind while the other two left quietly in the dark. 

As for Feng Jiu and her companions, when they returned to the manor, the City Lord was still waiting for them to return. When he saw the three of them enter the manor, he walked over to meet them. After he glanced at his daughter, he looked at Feng Jiu and asked: "Young Master Feng, have you had supper yet? I can ask the kitchen to prepare you something."

"Thank you City Lord. We ate just before we came back." Feng Jiu said apologetically: "If we had known that City Lord was waiting up for us, we would have come back sooner."

"Hahaha, it's fine, it doesn't matter." He waved his hand and said: "By the way, we have gathered all the medicines."

"Okay, I will go over tomorrow morning. It's late now so we will go back to rest first." She nodded and said, then walked forward. 

Yingying glanced at her father and smiled at him, then left with Feng Jiu. 

Guan Xilin laughed loudly and said to the City Lord: "Rest early City Lord. " Saying that, he left with them. 

After they had returned to the courtyard, they went and took a bath each, then Feng Jiu went looking for Guan Xilin: "Elder Brother, I am going to use the needle on Yingying tonight, you have to stand guard for me."

"Okay, don't worry! Leave it to me." He replied and went to Yingying's bedroom with her. 

Because they had discussed this earlier, Feng Jiu went inside directly and she saw Yingying wearing her nightgown waiting for her quietly. She smiled and went over to the table and wrote: "Don't be nervous."

Though Yingying nodded, she still swallowed nervously from time to time and couldn't help but felt nervous. While they were outside today, Feng Jiu had told her that she could cure her deafness and muteness. After she heard this, she was dumbstruck. 

Could she be cured? Her elder brother had found many people to treat her illness but everyone said that she was incurable. She thought that she would be this way her whole life, never able to hear the sounds of the world, the voices of her relatives, nor make a sound herself. 

She hadn't dared to hope for a long time, but when Feng Jiu said that she could be cured, she didn't dare to believe it. Even then, there was still a trace of expectation in her heart. 

Feng Jiu told her that the condition she had if she was to cure her deafness and muteness, was to not tell anyone that she had been cured. She was to first listen to the noises in her surroundings and pay attention to her relatives' attitudes. 

She even told her that if she found someone in the future who didn't mind her deafness and muteness, she could spend her life with him. She told her that once she had been cured of her deafness and muteness, she should go out for walks and look at the sceneries in all the different places instead of staying in this courtyard forever. 

She also told her that once her deafness and muteness was cured, the clogged tendons in her body would be able to resume circulation and she would even be able to cultivate. 

Every word she had said to her filled her with hope and yearning for the future….
