Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 9 Is it a dream or is it real?

When there was no sound outside, the child was still stiff.

It wasn't until the woman gently shook her shoulder and called her that the child suddenly woke up and grabbed the woman's hand and asked:
"Aunt, was it my father who just spoke?!"

The woman chuckled softly: "Who could it be if it weren't your father? Are you really scared and confused?"

The child looked at the woman in front of him with big eyes and murmured:
"My dad? How could it be my dad? Is it a dream?"

As he spoke, he pinched his arm hard. He frowned in pain and froze on the spot.

The woman was startled by the child's unexpected action. When she realized what she was doing, she immediately picked up the child's red arm and checked:

"Why are you pinching yourself?"

The child said in disbelief: "Why does it hurt? I've obviously been burned to death, I'm obviously dead..."

The woman touched the child's head tenderly: "I see you were really frightened. You fell into the pool. You feel burned because you have a high fever."

The child frowned and was full of questions, feeling that his brain was not enough:
"Falled into the water? Didn't you cripple my hands and feet and set me on fire?"

The woman coaxed in a gentle voice: "You must have had a nightmare when you were high in fever. You are the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor and the grandson of General Dingbei's Mansion. Who dares to treat you like this?"

The child put his hand in front of the woman and said urgently: "But you see my hand has been peeled off. Look..."

The child looked at her outstretched hand and was stunned again. The woman took the child's hand and said:

"What kind of terrible dream did you have? Yan'er is not afraid, it's just a dream. Look how are your white and tender hands hurt?"

The child withdrew his hands and raised them in front of his eyes, looking over and over. The small white and tender hands showed that they were well-maintained, and the nails were very cute with a hint of pink.

The child wondered: "This is my hand? Why are my hands so small?"

The woman smiled and said, "How big a hand do you want for your little one who is no more than nine years old?"

"Yan'er, my grandpa took me to the General's Mansion yesterday. I only found out this morning that you fell into the water. I heard Yutong said that you woke up. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

When the child was wondering, an eighty-nine-year-old child ran in from outside. Before he stepped through the door of the hall, he started running and shouting, and his voice came from far to near to the inner room.When the last question came out, the person had already arrived at the child's bed.

This childish boy has bright eyes and white teeth, and looks a lot like the child on the bed. His hair is half tied back and has shoulder-length hair, and there are dark gilding lines at the collar of his clothes.

There was a slight sweat on my forehead from running all the way, and now I was standing by the bed, bending over and holding my knees, breathing heavily.

Seeing this, the woman got up, twisted a towel in the basin, wiped the sweat from the child's head, and then said:
"Just come here. Why are you running in such a hurry?"

Zhizi smiled and said: "Auntie, I'm worried. No one told me yesterday. Grandpa also lied to me and said he wanted to test my kung fu, so he took me to the general's mansion. When I woke up in the morning, I was very anxious after hearing about it, so I hurriedly asked my cousin Brother sent me back."

After saying that, he turned to look at the child on the bed and asked, "Yan'er, how are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

After asking the question, he saw that the child just stared at him with wide eyes and did not answer. The child became anxious: "Yan'er, are you talking? Does anything hurt? Jin Yan? Talk, don't you recognize your brother?"

Then he turned to look at the woman and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with Jin Yan?"

The woman coaxed: "My body is fine, I was just frightened."

Childish: "Then why doesn't she speak? Lin Jinyan! Are you mute?"
