Chapter 574: Check His Brain
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everything in the dream was so vivid. Even though he had woken up now and knew that everything was just a dream, Qin Huai still felt that it was terrifyingly real. It was as if everything in front of him was a dream, and he had never grown up and gone to Hu Family Village. He had never seen Little All Yu, whose eyes were filled with sunlight at that time, had never experienced the warmth of the human world, and had never traveled the entire Great Chang Nation with her.
In his dream, he was just a child who had died early. He did not even know his identity until his death and died under everyone’s wooden gazes, he vomited a large amount of black and red blood and then fainted.
After “he” died, his soul floated. Fie saw Chi Jia and the Crimson Guards draw their swords and commit suicide. Empress Qin’s hair turned white overnight, and she completely broke off ties with Emperor Minghua. A bloody storm rose in the Great Chang Kingdom.
But, “he” did not care about this.
“He” floated to the Xie Manor in Dongling County of Wangbei County and saw the young Ah Yu being bullied. After her mother died of illness, the four-year-old took care of herself in the dilapidated courtyard alone. Because someone had fed her medicine that lowered her intelligence all year round, she was always silly. Even the children of the servants treated her as a plaything and toyed with her. She lived worse than a dog.
Even so, Little All Yu still had a sincere heart in his dream. She had suffered so much humiliation, ridicule, and stuffed with countless poisons, but she did not hate anyone.
Perhaps it was because someone had taught her what love was, but no one had taught her what hatred was, so she had never learned to hate.
Qin Huai did not finish the dream. He only dreamed that “Ah Yu” had survived to the age of 15 with difficulty, but she looked like a child who was only 10 years old. The few ladies of the Xie family discussed using her as their dowry and being their husbands’ concubine in the future. It would be easy for them to control their husbands that way.
“He” was so angry that he wished he could kill them! But when “he” saw Xie Changting appear in his dream, the woman he had personally killed, “he” completely realized that this was just a dream.
When he woke up from his dream, Qin Huai broke out in a cold sweat. For the first time, he understood what fear of loss was.
Although the 13-year-old him knew what love was, he did not know what it meant and had never probed further.
Even at this moment, he was only a little confused. He vaguely saw a door that was different from before. A window was secretly opened in his heart, as if some different light shone out.
“Big Brother All You, Big Brother Ah You? What’s wrong? Don’t scare me!” All Yu called out to Qin Huai for a long time. Seeing that he had instantly fallen into his thoughts and didn’t react to her words, she became anxious.
Qin Huai came back to his senses and saw Ah Yu’s anxious expression. He subconsciously reached out to smooth her frown.
’Tin fine. I—”
“Ahem—” Old Madam Wang stood at the door with a bowl of medicine in her hand. “Since you’re awake, drink it while it’s hot.”
She walked forward and gently pulled Ah Yu up before handing the bowl to Qin Huai.
Qin Huai hurriedly sat down and held the bowl of medicine, hesitating slightly before swallowing it.
After drinking it, Qin Huai finally came to his senses and said to Old Madam Wang, “Thank you, Grandma.”
He then said to Ah Yu, “All Yu, sorry for offending you just now.”
Ah Yu was confused. “Offend what?”
She did not think in the direction of physical contact between a male and female. When she saw that Qin Huai had woken up, and he even had a nightmare, she was only concerned about comforting him and did not think about anything else.
“Is there something wrong with your body? If there’s nothing serious, we’ll go down the mountain after breakfast,” Old Madam Wang said.
Ah Yu asked, “Grandma, Big Brother Ah You is fine now. The abbot and master also said that he’s almost recovered. Are we going home?”
“Let’s not go home first. Let’s go to Wanning City.”
“Are we going to see Second Uncle take the Imperial Examination?”
“No, we’re sending Qin Huai to take the Imperial Examination.” Old Madam Wang looked at Qin Huai with a deep frown. “If he can’t become the top scholar H
Qin Huai hurriedly said, “Grandma, Ah Yu, don’t worry. I’ll use everything I’ve learned in my life to become the top scorer!”
The little monk who had just stepped into the meditation room hurriedly retreated.
As he walked, he scratched his head. “This guest is awake, but there seems to be something wrong with his brain. 1 have to go to the abbot and ask him to take a look..”
