METAL CHILD BALLad
THE DARK PAST 2

Mei Shin was still crying beside little Jing Xuan's body while changing into her son's tattered and burning clothes. Jing Shan then walked up to little Jing Xuan and sat down on the edge of the wooden bed.

"Ah Xuan, forgive me!" he said while glazing and stroking the child's hair just like that.

"Had we not been at odds, maybe Ah Xuan wouldn't be like this!" Jing Ren lamented his stupidity. The man was younger than Jing Shan and of course he was the uncle of Jing Xuan.

Shortly after, two old men came in a hasty step. One of them looks very angry, while the other old man is seen carrying traditional medical equipment. Jing Xuan's pain was due to the clash of power in his high strength, not even a single doctor would ever be able to make him recover with just modern medical treatment.

"Hurry up and handle my grandson!" jing Guo's orders, Jing Xuan's new grandfather to Physician Jing Hong, are believed to be to verify the grandchild's circumstances.

"All right, Big Master." Physician Jing Hong did not need any more pleasantries in carrying out his duties. The man directly checked the state of Jing Guo's beloved granddaughter who looked extremely grieved mixed in anger at her two children.

How could Jing Guo not be angry? Jing Xuan was the only granddaughter who would later inherit the Fire Lord and now her condition was extremely unfavorable. As a grandfather who loved his only grandson very much, of course he would be angry with this incident.

The man's eyes were instantly fixed on the direction of his two sons who could only be mired in grief and regret. While Physician Jing Hong was getting busy examining their little Jing Xuan state. Mei Shin was also seen helping the healer's activities.

"All of you satisfied?" jing Guo asked in a high tone. "Satisfied with the outcome of your dispute?"

"Pardon us, Dad!" Jing Ren said guiltily. "You are guilty!"

"Will your regrets be enough to make up for your mistakes?" jing Guo snapped while shaking his waist.

"Look! Look at the consequences of your stupidity and carelessness! Making injured my only grandson!" The white-haired and bearded old man again snapped furiously.

"Dad! We're sorry!" Jing Shan cried bitterly as he covered his face. "We didn't expect this to be fatal!"

"That's your stupidity that can never solve a problem with your brain and head cold!" Jing Guo walked back and forth while waiting for the results of Jing Hong's Physician's examination of Jing Xuan. "If this news gets out, where will we put our faces, haaa?"

"I'm sorry, Dad!" Jing Shan exclaimed in between her cries. "Pardon your father, Ah Xuaaaan!"

Jing Ren was no less sorry, but the man did not dare to look at the nephew who still did not notice from his stupor. The conditions were extremely dire for a child of Jing Xuan's age of course. The tiny body must accept directly the impact of the science of Tapak Bara and the science of Brajamusti which is almost similar.

"If anything happens to my grandson, you will suffer the consequences!" Jing Guo was still engulfed in an unfailing rage.

Jing Shan the father of Jing Xuan and her younger brother Jing Ren could only be bitterly stifled. They truly regretted their actions this time. However, like rice has become a regrettable porridge is no use.

Meanwhile, Physician Jing Hong was still examining Jing Xuan's condition very carefully and also meticulously. The healer was made to shake his head repeatedly while sighing, a result of deep concern. The healer turned to look at the people around him, while Mei Shin, Jing Guo, Jing Shan and Jing Ren were sitting uneasily waiting for the results of the healer's analysis.

"How is my son, the physician?" Mei Shin asked with an anxious face while occasionally wiping away her fallen tears.

"Gentlemen all, grateful that this time Young Master Jing has passed her critical period, she should have been fine already, although some of Young Master Jing's ribs were broken and it could be healed within a few months. It's just ...."

Physician Hong stopped his words from feeling very heavy-hearted about conveying the results of his examination. The old man was seen rubbing his long white beard up to several times.

"Tell the Physician! Whatever it is, as long as my granddaughter can survive!" jing Guo shouted impatiently

"I'm sorry for my stupidity, Great Lord!" Physician Hong took in a breath that felt heavy by Jing Xuan's matter. "Young Master Jing was exposed to two powers from high-level science, although not regarding his internal organs. But directly the body of this extremely young and weak Young Master Jing had also received a clash of two forces. It was likely that Young Master Jing during his life would not be able to cultivate more than the third tier."

"What?" Jing Shan fell dumbstruck on the chair with a disappointed, angry and sad face that she had somehow pointed to. The man's heart was shattered when he heard the words of this physician. His face immediately became pias as bloodless.

Jing Ren and Jing Guo as well as Mei Shin were no less surprised. They really did not expect at all, if the impact effect of the science would be fatal to Jing Xuan in the future. Although the outer body may be impeccable, but the inner path suffered considerable damage.

"So, our Ah Xuan can't be a perfect martial artist?" Jing Guo said in a weak voice. "Our Jing Xuan can only become an ordinary martial practitioner, whereas our sect needs a strong person inside and can master the entire Fire Lord legacy science perfectly."

Jing Ren gazed towards the tiny body lying on top of the bed. "And he is now ...."

"Is there no way to restore Ah Xuan's meridians?" jing Shan asked expectantly. "Tell the Physician! Is there any way to cure our Ah Xuan?"

Once again, Physician Jing Hong could only shake his head in a weak gesture. The old man meang had yet to find a surefire way to repair one's meridian damage. Physician Hong then tried to explain patiently.

"For the time being and until the next few years, it might not be able to treat it in such an extreme way, since Young Master Jing's body is still very weak." Physician Jing Hong spoke as he looked at Jing Xuan.

"So, for a while we can only treat as best we can. Hopefully as time goes by or if there is a miracle, then it is not impossible if the young master's meridians can later return to normal. After all, the young master was still in a stage of growth that at any time could undergo a change." Physician Hong connected his words.

"Only can hope for a miracle" Mei Shin whispered as she stroked the head of her son who was still unconscious.

"A miracle can come at any time with the help of prayer and also the maximum treatment effort of course." Physician Jing Hong started packing his things. "I suggest to all of you, to immediately take him to the hospital to deal with the broken bones in Young Master Jing's body."

"Really! We have to get him!" jing Ren exclaimed as he got up from his seat followed by Jing Guo and Jing Shan.

"For the matter of the damaged meridians, we can think about it later and the most important thing now, is to treat the wounds on his body." Jing Guo also got up from his seat. "Ah Shan's! Wait what else?"

"Good, Dad!" Jing Shan immediately approached Mei Shin and said, "We take her to the hospital."

"Alright, Shan Ge. I'll pack up." Mei Shin immediately prepared all the necessities they had to bring later.

Jing Guo who was then still the head of the Fire Lord Sect only nodded his head with a broken heart, whereas Jing Ren was still stunned with deep regret and would be prolonged. While the Jing Family was busy with Jing Xuan's medical preparations, Physician Jing Hong immediately said goodbye. The man did not forget to prescribe the deep wound medicine that Jing Xuan had suffered.

The young master of the Jing Family was immediately rushed to the hospital to treat his broken rib injury. They could now only try their best for the safety of the sect's successor who would likely no longer be able to practice the sciences of the Fire Lord Sect.

After receiving medical treatment, Jing Xuan opened her pair of eyes very slowly and immediately looked at Mei Shin's face. "Mom-Mom ...."

"Yuan Ah!" Mei Shin felt very happy to hear her son's voice. The woman tried to smile so that Jing Xuan would feel better.

"Mother ... Where are my friends?" Jing Xuan was still not so aware of her circumstances and thought that she was still hiding. "Mom, why are you here?"

"Ah Xuan Honey, are you conscious?" Mei Shin asked in a soft voice.

"Conscious?" Jing Xuan asked inwardly as she researched the surrounding state. As he wanted to move to get up, he suddenly shouted out in a loud voice.

"Aawws! It hurts!"

"Yuan Ah!" A few people who heard Jing Xuan's cry immediately ran over from outside the treatment room.

"Ah Xuan, are you conscious?" Jing Guo asked as if to himself. "Ah Xuan, grandson!"

"Ah Xuan, finally come to a realization!" Jing Shan also exclaimed in happiness. The man wanted to hug his son, but he also remembered that Jing Xuan should not be touched freely as a result of his injury.

"Dad, Grandpa, Uncle ... why is it here too?"

...Seriate...
