In the morning, Yuan woke up first, he saw Jiang boiling the medicine.
" Mom.." call Yuan, Jiang smiled.
" I'll go to Governor Gu's house, tell Xuan to get some medicine and then you wait for the girl to wake up, I'll just go for a minute." Yuan nodded. Jiang then relaxed his medicine, as he was about to depart Yuan held Jiang's hand in restraining him.
" I'm sorry about yesterday's mother." he said regretfully, Jiang smiled and stroked his son's head.
" It's okay, but remember not to let your anger burn yourself, mother go..." Jiang then left, Yuan continued boiling the medicine for the girl, shortly as he fanned the Xuan furnace awake.
" Has mother left?" xuan asked as he looked at Yuan himself.
" It's been." He then gave Xuan a medicine basket. Xuan took the medicine basket carrying it on his back.
" I go "Yuan nodded.
" Be careful." Xuan then left.
the decoction of the medicine was finished, he then took a little medicine and then put it into a small mangkuk, he wanted to deliver the medicine, when he entered he saw the girl had woken up, the girl was surprised to see Yuan coming.
" So calm down, I'm helping you." Yuan replied casually seeing the girl surprised.
" Where am I, and who are you?" ask the girl
" You're in our hut, I found you by the lake yesterday."the girl nodded, remembering what happened to her.
" We haven't met, my name is Hua Rong, your name is?" he knows how to deal with the people who helped him
" Yuan." she replied, blowing the medicine in the bowl and then giving it to Hua Rong.
" Drink while it's hot, it can heal your wounds." Hua Rong welcomed the medicine, he slowly took the medicine, as his bitter face changed, Yuan chuckled at it.
" Is it bitter?" tanyanya laughed, Hua Rong nodded obediently.
" This.." Yuan gave her a sugar cube. Hua Rong noticed the rock sugar.
" What is this?"tanyanya's confused.
" You don't know this sugar stone? it is sold everywhere." Hua Rong shook his head.
" where are you from? you don't seem to be from here?" Hua Rong fell silent, he became nervous and bit his lower lip, Yuan noticed Hua Rong.
" You're not a spy, are you?" asked Yuan Suspicious.
" No..." Hua Rong replied quickly.
" I. I.. I. I. I'm lost.." the great-grandson softly.
" What? I didn't hear it?"
" Missed..."
" You're lost...?" Hua Rong nodded.
" Where are you from and where do you want to go?" hua Rong's heart was pounding, he was afraid that if he revealed his identity he would be taken advantage of, just like his previous experience .
" I am from a foreign country and want the city of the king" he answered briefly.
" for?" Hua Rong stared intently at Yuan.
" Why do you ask so many questions? didn't I answer all your questions, my business in the king's city is my secret." he replied annoyed, Yuan felt bad, he scratched the back of his head that didn't itch.
" Alright, my mother and brother left for a while, before noon they will come." Yuan replied and left the room. Hua Rong finished taking the medicine, then he came out breathing fresh air.
" The house is quiet." Hua Rong said enjoying her morning, her body felt light after taking the medicine, Yuan just watched her from inside while cooking the food, seeing Hua Rong smiling Yuan involuntarily smiling along with her, Yuan just watched her, as soon as he realized it he immediately shook his head.
Hua Rong meets Yuan, he is a sociable person thanks to his experience, he is actually shy but because the tragedy that happened to him makes him adaptable.
" What are you doing?" hua Rong asked, Yuan was surprised to see the arrival of the calcareous Hua Rong.
" Cuisine..."
" You're good at cooking?" tanya Hua Rong was amazed.
" For if my mother were to cook, this kitchen could burn" Yuan replied as he cut the vegetables. Hua Rong did not know whether Yuan was joking with him or telling the truth.
" I'm helping you?" said Huo Rong.
" Are you good at cooking?" ask Yuan.
" I learned a little bit this past time" he replied, he cooked rice and helped Yuan.
" What happened to you, how did you fall in the water?" asked Yuan while cooking.
" The story is long." she replied smilingly, Yuan did not ask any more, after cooking they prepared the food on the table and waited for Jiang and Xuan's arrival.
" Mom." Yuan said, Jiang went inside and poured water and drank it.
" Has Xuan not returned yet?" jiang asked, Yuan shook his head, only to realize that Hua Rong was there. Long ago Jiang looked at Hua Rong.
" What's the matter, mom?" tanya Yuan resuscitated Jiang.
" The situation is precarious, the capital is worried that this city can't last long." Jiang replied, before long Xuan came with a medicine sling full of beds.
" Mom, Yuan.." Xuan poured water and sat down next to his mother, watching Hua Rong sitting at the table eating across from them.
" Is that the girl?" xuan asked, he then looked at the worried face of Jiang.
" What's the matter, mom?"
" War has broken out, Two territories are overrun, the mother is afraid that this city will not last long, sooner or later if help from the capital is too late, the city will not survive." Jiang replied, Hua Rong heard but he did not dare to say anything.
" In that case, we should join forces to defend this mother city" Yuan said, Jiang looked at his two sons in turn and he let out a heavy sigh.
" It used to be that mom fought so you didn't feel what was happening now, in fact fate said something else." - Jiang.
" Sir..." Calling Xuan, Jiang finally nodded, however he dodged, it would not be possible because Jiang was also part of the Qing empire.
" Tomorrow we'll move into Governor Gu's house." Xuan and Yuan nodded in unison.
Jiang then walked over the dinner shirt, Hua Rong was still sitting there, he then approached Hua Rong.
" How are you doing?"ask Jiang, please,
" It's much better" he answered.
" I'm Si Shi, what's your name."
" My name is Hua Rong, Auntie." Jiang then checked his pulse.
" It's getting better." Jiang then sat down beside Hua Rong, Xuan and Yuan sitting before them. Hua Rong pensively looked at the resemblance of Xuan and Yuan.
" are you twins?" hua Rong asked, Xuan Just smiled and Yuan flat.
" Why are your hair different?" hua Rong asked in surprise.
" Just eat first." said Jiang, Hua Rong nodded, they are noble to eat the dishes.
" Yuan said, if auntie cooks, auntie will burn the kitchen? I saw that auntie wasn't that bad." Hua Rong said on the sidelines of the meal, Yuan almost gushed rice from his mouth, Xuan choked and immediately drank some water. Hua Rong is too plain.
Xuan turned to Yuan, Jiang stared intently at Yuan.
" I don't mean ..begini.mom.." Yuan stuttered to explain.
" I can't cook, rather I don't have the time." replied Jiang, he couldn't accept the reality, had learned many times still his cooking looks bad, so he decided not to force anymore, since the swordsman's grandmother died, Yuan or Xuan were alternating cooking for them, they were better than Jiang who cooked.
So whenever anyone offended he was not good at cooking, Jiang was annoyed.
" What's bad about not being good at cooking? I have a son who can cook, for what distresses me." murmured to himself, Hua Rong could hear it but chose silence.
" My mom's even worse than you?" hua Rong said. Jiang's face brightened upon hearing that.
" Don't you? your father must have forced your mother to try his cooking every time, I heard your mother's cooking hobby" Jiang laughed involuntarily, Hua Rong, Xuan and Yuan looked at Jiang in surprise, saying, Jiang acted as if he knew Hua Rong's parents very well.
as soon as he realized he stopped laughing.
" How do you know that?" hua Rong asked even more astonished, because it was the reality.Jiang cleared his throat.
" I just guessed it, I used to be like that too." Jiang replied smiling then continued eating, Hua Rong did not ask anymore.
