Chapter 129: Dreamland Episode - A Person Who Has Been Through It

"Don't worry, I will take care of Yangyang. However, this child has experienced such hardships since childhood, so she lacks a sense of security and won't easily trust others. Now that you have brought her out of the darkness, it took a lot for her to trust you. I'm worried that she won't adapt after you leave and will suffer from a second injury."
"So, I brought him to see the senior brother because he is the best at psychotherapy. He will surely have a solution. Didn't the senior brother cure me back then?"
Baixi Yun raised her hand and rubbed her nose, affectionately saying, "Is that so? But I haven't seen you listen to Senior Brother's words..."
"Senior Brother, I have always been obedient, that's what Master says. Are you going to contradict what Master said?"
"You, when you can't argue back, you always use the master as an excuse."
"As long as it works."
"Alright, since we've decided to leave early tomorrow morning, let's go back and rest earlier. Senior Brother is waiting for you at Luomei Mountain. Remember, if there is anything, seek help from the various contacts in a timely manner and avoid being stubborn, understand?"
"I understand, Senior Brother, don't worry."
After Bai Xiyun sent Bai Qingyu back to her room, he sighed and turned to the alchemy room to work on his prescription;
It was not until the sun was about to rise in the morning that he changed his location and went to the kitchen to cook a delicious meal for them...
Before long, Bai Qingyu and Xiuxi woke up at the same time. After getting ready, they packed their bags, but the little brat was still asleep;
"Let him sleep well, we'll leave first."
Xiuxi nodded and reluctantly glanced at him before leaving the room with Bai Qingyu;

As soon as the door closed, Tao Yuanfeng's disciple came over and relayed a message, "Senior sisters, Shixu Xiyun asked you to go to the kitchen."
Baiqing Yu replied with a gesture of gratitude, "Alright, thank you."

When the two of them arrived in the kitchen, Baixi Yun had already prepared a table of baked goods, which were still steaming hot.
Seeing them, she waved her hand and greeted, "Come, come and eat. Guixi, I don't know what you like to eat, so I prepared according to what my little sister likes. Next time when you come to Luomei Mountain, I'll make what you like."
Bai Qingyu glanced at Xixi, who had already been captivated by delicious food, and joked, "Senior Brother, Xixi is not picky about food. As long as it's delicious, she likes to eat it."
"Really? That's great, then eat more if you like."
Meng Xi was lightly bumped on the arm by Bai Qingyu, and only then did she come back to her senses. She exclaimed with excitement, "Thank you, senior brother. Then I won't be polite."
"No need to be polite, eat more..."
After washing his hands, Bai Xiyun sat down next to Bai Qingyu and glanced at the entrance, asking, "Has Yang Yang not woken up yet? Did you guys not tell him we're leaving?"
"When we left, he was still asleep and we didn't have the heart to wake him up. Maybe we'll talk to him after we're gone, and he won't be so upset."
"That's what we say, but who knows what he's really thinking."
Big Brother Senior paused for a moment and said, "It's okay, I can handle someone as difficult as you, let alone Yangyang who is so well-behaved."
"Senior Brother..."
"Okay okay okay, stop talking, here, have a mushroom and meat bun, with lots of mushrooms and little meat, it's your favorite to eat."
When Baiqing Yu just stared at him, she noticed the tiredness in his eyes and asked, "Senior Brother, did you not sleep well last night?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I prepared some pills. Take them with you later and be careful on the road. You two should look out for each other," he replied.
Xixi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother."
"Okay, you guys can eat first. I will pack the pills and some dry food for you..."
After the meal, Bai Xiyun personally sent the two of them down the mountain;
Up to now, the little brat hasn't shown up yet. It wasn't until Bai Xiyun went back to the room to look for him that she realized he was already gone, leaving behind a note with the crooked word "sister" written on it.
Baixi Yun let out a helpless sigh and rubbed his forehead, saying, "It turns out that Yangyang is even harder to handle than the little girl."
Baiqing Yu and Moxi rode halfway to a small stream. When they were about to cross it, Moxi stopped and whispered, "What should we do? He's still following us..."
They had discovered it long ago, but they thought he would stop following them after a while. But they didn't expect him to keep following them all the way here;
Bai Qingyu paused for a moment, then turned the horse to face the peculiarly drifting grass bushes and shouted, "Yangyang, come out."
A little brat popped out of the bushes, panting heavily as he ran towards them, calling out in a faint voice, "Sister..."
Bai Qingyu and Xi Xian dismounted at the same time, walking towards him. They saw that he was sweating profusely on his forehead and his nose was red from the cold wind. He didn't bring anything with him, just the same package he had before, and he was wearing the thick robe that Bai Xiyun had changed for him;
Just now, he didn't feel cold while running, but now that he has stopped, his legs are trembling uncontrollably...
Baiqing Yu asked him, "Aren't you cold?"
"Sister..."
Before the words could even come out, Baiqing Yu took out the black cape that Kui Xi had given him from his package and draped it over him;
This cloak was tailored by the emperor empress according to Gaoxi's height, but now the little kid only reaches Gaoxi's waist and a little higher, so this cloak is too big for him, with more than half of it dragging on the ground.
The little kid was afraid of getting dirty and hesitated as they lifted up the part of the mop for floor cleaning. They said, "Sister, I don't want to wear this, I'm afraid of getting dirty."
"If you don't want to catch a cold, then wear it."
"Let me take a look..."
Xixi stepped forward, took a quick look, then squatted down and folded the tail a few times. She then used some safety pins to secure it. "There we go."
The little kid spun in place, and the length was just right at the ankles. This was definitely much more convenient than before, with a slight smile on their face.
Guixi saw it, reached out and poked his dimples, then asked sternly, "How could you sneak out alone? Does the eldest senior brother know?"
The little brat knew he had done something wrong, looked at Baiqing Yu in fear, and whispered, "I left a note saying I was going to find you."
Bai Qingyu responded, "Yangyang, we will be back soon. Can you go with Senior Martial Brother to Lumei Mountain?"
"No, wherever you go, I will go!"
"Yang Yang, walking is much more dangerous than your previous path!"
"I'm not afraid!"
The little child tightened his fists, his eyes showing caution and a hint of fear of being abandoned. "Before I met you, I used to live my days on the edge of the bloodshed, I was already used to it, I am not afraid!"
"Yang Yang!!!"
The young child with red eyes met Bai Qingyu's gaze, choked up and said, "If Sister feels disgusted with me, I won't force it. I will just follow behind you and wait until I repay this kindness. Then, I will smartly leave on my own..."
Yuan Yuyang frowned and felt uneasy when hearing Bai Qingyu's words. "Yuyang, I have never meant it that way."
"Alright, if you want to come along, we will take you with us."
"What's wrong?"
Bai Qingyu tugged at her sleeve, intending to persuade her to go together with the little brat, but didn't expect her to compromise so quickly;
"It's alright, let him come along. Look at how stubborn he looks, if we don't compromise, who knows what nonsense will fill his little brain."
Bai Qingyu hesitated for a moment and reluctantly nodded in acquiescence;
Ming Xi turned to look at the little brat, with a serious expression, she said to him, "Yangyang, you can follow us, but you have to listen to us, understand? You can't just be silent and fall behind like this again!"
“嗯，我保证！”
"Very well, let's go."
在出发前，白卿虞给白溪云传了密信告知小屁孩跟她们一起去了，让他别担心。
离开宸都国，白卿虞结合路况更改了路线计划，再经过两个国家就能到边疆了；
Three people took a shortcut and sped up the ten-day journey by seven days. The little kid's adaptability was much stronger than they had imagined. Along the way, their energy was still so vigorous. Whenever there was a temporary break, they would run around collecting firewood and fetching water, always excited throughout the entire journey.
At this moment, they arrived at a relatively remote village where the houses were very simple. They were generally temporary accommodation for hunters who went out for hunting and nobody would live here long-term;
So, they didn't see anyone when they entered the village.
Bai Qingyu suggested: "Let's not go into the city on this trip. Let's rest here for a while, and when it's daylight tomorrow, we'll continue on our way to Shui Jingguo. That way, we should be able to reach the border in about ten days."
"Alright, I'll listen to your plan."
The three of them dismounted from their horses and found a relatively nearby house to stay in temporarily;
The house was empty, cold and damp, with only a bed made from wooden planks, without even a mattress;
"Sister, when I came over, I saw firewood stacked over there, I will go and bring some to start a fire."
White Qingyu nodded and cautioned, "Don't go far, be careful and stay safe."
"Understood."
The brat immediately ran outside, and Xiwen, watching his enthusiasm, stretched her tired bones and sighed, "Kids have so much energy, they don't seem to get tired at all."
“Maybe it's not that he doesn't feel tired, but that he dares not be tired. He may still worry deep down that we will abandon him, so he remains mentally tense all the time.”
Bai Qingyu was someone who had gone through such a process. When she first arrived at Luomei Mountain, she was also like this. She wouldn't dare to sleep no matter how tired she was and would tightly hold onto Bai Xumei's arm, following him wherever he went;
Mengxi thought about it and felt it was a bit similar, saying, "This cannot continue. We must make him sleep tonight. If he continues to stay up, his body won't be able to handle it."
"Hmm, you go and coax him to sleep. I'll stay up for the first half of the night."
"Okay."
Before long, the little brat came back holding a bundle of firewood. He could see the flickering candlelight in the house from afar, and when he approached, he saw Bai Qingyu waiting for him at the door, his excitement couldn't be contained in his heart;
Finally, his life had hope. Like other kids in the neighborhood, he had a home with lights on and someone waiting at the door.
The little brat took a few steps and shouted, "Sister, I'm back!"
"Come on, give it to me."
Yub en baiqing wanted to take his firewood, but he wouldn't let her, excitedly saying, "No need, sister, it's not heavy."
The little kid went into the house and put the firewood aside, building a fire in the middle of the room, quickly starting a fire. In no time, the whole room was warm.
White Qingyu placed the buns prepared by White Xiyun next to the fire, roasting them until they were hot. Xixi and the little brat sat next to them, drinking hot tea...
The little brat secretly glanced at White Qingyu several times, then looked at Xixi, as if he wanted to ask something but was too afraid to.
"Any questions?"
"As someone who has been through it, Bai Qingyu understood every action and microexpression of his."
"The brat drank a large cup of hot tea to bolster his courage and asked bluntly, 'Sister Bai, Sister Qinxi, why did you save me at that time?'"
