<h4>Chapter 365 Fragile</h4>
"Master, you can bring Junior Sister Hua in the future when youe back," Shan Yu suggested.
Traveling Doctor Liu''s face darkened. "How can it be?! I don''t even know when I''m nning to go back!"
Shan Yu could only stay silent at that remark. Indeed, Traveling Doctor Liu never had a specific ce where he wanted to be. He always followed his heart about what he wanted and would not allow himself be wronged in the slightest bit.
Thus, Traveling Doctor Liu would not know where he would return to Fei Yang Kingdom after going through the border.
"In that case, do you want to persuade Old Master Nan again?"
"Persuade that thick skull?" Traveling Doctor Liu scoffed. "I''ll rather believe the sun will rise from the West rather than that old man relenting to my request."
Shan Yu was speechless. But upon thinking about it from another perspective, he knew that it was also the truth. There was no way Traveling Doctor Liu would possibly pester Old Master Nan day and night just because of this matter.
It was precisely because of that that Traveling Doctor Liu was feeling so conflicted right now.
"Forget it, I''ll stay in Wind City for a few days before departing. Hmph."
This time, Nan Hua didn''t try to talk with Traveling Doctor Liu.
She had heard about Traveling Doctor Liu''s n even before they departed. However, the location of that ce was a few days'' away from Han Zhong City. It would be hard for her to travel on her own.
In the end, she could only wait for her grandfather''s agreement.
If Old Master Nan agreed, she would go. But if he ended up staying firm, Nan Hua would not go.
*Hwaaa*
"Ah, Little Qian, are you hungry?" Nan Si Qiao heard the cry and asked the nanny to bring her son to her. She carried Feng Ao Qian tenderly in her hand and the young babyughed lightly in her arm. Seeing her cute son, Nan Si Qiao smiled tenderly.
In front of her, Nan Hua was staring at Nan Si Qiao and Feng Ao Qian. Over the past two years, she rarely met Nan Si Qiao because Nan Si Qiao was locked in her quarter due to being a bit weakened after giving birth. It was only after some time her health improved and that she could take care of her child.
Nan Hua would not try to carry Feng Ao Qian and always maintained her distance. Looking at the fragile baby, Nan Hua didn''t have the courage to touch it.
She was worried.
Worried that she would use too much strength when carrying the child and identally hurt Feng Ao Qian.
"Hua''er, do you want to carry Ao Qian?" Nan Si Qiao noticed Nan Hua''s look.
Nan Hua shook her head. "No, I better not."
"Why not? You''ll be a mother in the future too." Nan Si Qiaoughed. She bent forward closer to Nan Hua. "Come on, just for a short time."
Nan Hua was still hesitant as she looked at the baby in front of her, but Nan Si Qiao had tenderly put the baby on her hand. She could only sit stiffly and allowed Feng Ao Qian to stay on her harm. Feng Ao Qian raised his big eyes and stared at Nan Hua beforeughing and her hand reached out to touch her.
Watching the small baby moving about, Nan Hua''s eyes showed a different kind of light. It seemed somewhat mncholic yet filled with heartache and sadness.
Nan Si Qiao didn''t notice the feelings contained within Nan Hua''s eyes and only noticed that Nan Hua was sitting so stiffly. She smiled lightly and took her son back. "You don''t have to be so stiff, Hua''er."
"Aunt…"
"What is it?"
"Are babies fragile?" Nan Hua asked softly.
"Mhm, you have to be careful when you carry them around because they can get hurt easily." Nan Si Qiao patted Feng Ao Qian tenderly. "However, having children is the most beautiful reward I can have in my life. Seeing them grow from such a small baby into such a rebellious teenager is very rewarding."
Nan Hua naturally knew that Nan Si Qiao was referring to Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai. She merely hummed in acknowledgement.
However, when she looked at Feng Ao Qian, she was somewhat reminded of that camp.
All children, without exception, had to undergo the training when they were four to five years old. She was included in that batch and had to suffer through rigorous training. There were no parents to care for her and kept her warm at night.
There were only blood and cruelty.
In order to survive.
All children have to kill each other. Because amongst thousands of children that were sent to that hell, they would only keep at most 100 children.
Nan Hua somehow survived.
She herself couldn''t remember how many times she got hurt anymore. In the end, she simply got used with it that she didn''t care anymore. There was no such thing that children were fragile as they were all treated as if they were made of steel.
Those who couldn''t adapt were left to die.
"When you have children, you''ll understand, Hua''er."
Nan Hua looked at Nan Si Qiao but said nothing. There was still at least three years before she could get married because her age difference with Long Qian Xing was 4 years. (Man be adult when they''re 20 years old while woman be adult when they''re 15 years old. To get married, both parties have to be an adult and havepleted their adulthood ceremony)
…
Time passed and they soon reached Wind City.
Looking at the city from the carriage, Nan Hua faintly remember the day when she came to this city. It didn''t look like there was much changes…
"There are a lot of roads built by the local governors." Nan Si Qiao was amazed when she saw the wide road.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes.
Right, the roads were all ready towards various cities. Time for the next phase of her n.
