When Lu Yun saw her uncle come in carrying two white porcelain bowls, she felt something was wrong. Damn it, she was as strong as an ox, so why did she need to drink medicine? If she could, she would even want to show her uncle how to lift a carved solid wooden bed frame with a person on it with one hand, just to prove her physique.

Fortunately, reason overcame fear. Lu Yun took the steaming hot medicine and began to look for her sweet-scented osmanthus candy. Hey, why is it gone? She looked at her uncle.

Zhang Yulin recalled the scene in the morning when the old man grabbed his ears and scolded him. "It's one thing to let the child go out hungry, but he also fed her so much candy. Look, she's become sick from eating it." His ears were still burning. Thinking of this, Zhang Yulin smiled and said, "My dear sister Yun, your uncle has eaten all the candy. Come and drink your medicine first."

Lu Yun looked at him suspiciously, stretched out a hand and pushed the medicine bowl away. "Sister Yun, you should eat the buns first, then drink the medicine."

Zhang Yulin scratched his head. The old man didn't seem to say whether to eat it after or before dinner. "Okay, little uncle will go get you some buns."

The child on the bed watched the whole thing, his eyes as black as ink looking at the two of them, "I want some porridge."

"Okay, okay, one or two," Zhang Yulin sighed, and soon came in with a tray containing two buns and two bowls of porridge. Lu Yun took both buns without hesitation and began to eat in small mouthfuls.

The boy was fed by his uncle himself, and he had to chew slowly even a bowl of porridge.

In contrast, Lu Yun devoured her meal with the swiftness of a whirlwind, like fallen leaves on the autumnal equinox. Two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge gave her a sense of security. With a stern face, she lifted the bowl of steaming black medicinal liquid, took a deep breath, opened her throat, tilted her head back, and poured the entire bowl of Chinese medicine into her mouth. After finishing the medicine, Lu Yun smacked her lips, leaving only a hint of bitterness in her mouth. This was her unique way of drinking Chinese medicine, the principle being that if she finished the medicine before her brain could register the response, she wouldn't notice its bitterness.

Zhang Yulin, holding a half bowl of white porridge in his hand, hesitantly scooped a large lump from the bottom of the bowl and put it to the young master's mouth, motioning him to open his mouth wide.

The boy lowered his eyes to look at the back of his hand where the veins were exposed. Maybe he could give it a try.

After the uncle left, only the two of them were left in the house. Lu Yun, hands behind her back, began to survey the furnishings. The furnishings were complete, the materials fine. It must be some lord's mountain retreat. Based on what she had seen and heard along the way, Lu Yun had come to a conclusion. She just didn't know how long she would stay here. Lu Yun glanced at the little boy on the bed and found he was already lying down.

"Sister Caihe said not to lie down after eating." Lu Yun walked to the bed and said to the little boy.

The boy opened his eyes and looked at her. "I'm sleepy now and want to sleep."

Lu Yun shook her head and said, "You have to sit for a while. Sister Caihe said my stomach will hurt if I don't sit." She reached out a hand and touched her belly.

The boy looked at her quietly for a moment, then struggled to sit up. Seeing this, Lu Yun stretched out a hand and pulled him up from the bed, a smile on her face. "Hello, big brother."

The ten-year-old Zhou Boli, a fat girl who was a little crazy and a little stubborn, really couldn't accept the fact that he was pulled out of bed by a girl who was about the same age as his four-year-old half-sister. He was so depressed that he didn't want to talk.

Lu Yun suddenly remembered something. She hadn't finished her homework for the day yet. How could this be possible? The bedroom was too small, so Lu Yun ran to the main room in the middle, where there was an empty space.

Zhou Boli, who was sitting, saw the little girl's face change and she ran out, and then there was no movement. His intuition told him that the fat girl was still in the room. However, he was blocked by a wall and could not see the scene in the hall clearly.

Zhou Boli got up from the bed panting, holding on to the wall in his slippers and looking out. He saw the little fat girl doing a very standard horse stance, her eyes staring straight at the door.

What is she doing? Zhou Boli looked at it confusedly for a while and felt cold all over. He had to move back to bed. Slowly, sleepiness came over him and his consciousness sank into darkness bit by bit.

Suddenly, there were several "crackling" sounds of energy breaking through the air from next door. Zhou Boli suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and fell into the gap between the bed and the wall, holding a short black blade tightly in his hand, and looked towards the door with a vigilant expression.

After waiting for a while, the sound of breaking air continued in his ears, but he did not hear any sound of fighting. An idea emerged in Zhou Boli's mind.

After crawling out from the crack, Zhou Boli looked into the hall vigilantly, only to see the little fat girl practicing a set of boxing techniques repeatedly, kicking her legs, throwing punches, squatting and lowering her hips, and wherever her fists and elbows went, there was a sound of energy breaking through the air.

His heart finally settled down, and he sat down weakly on the ground. His remaining strength was not enough to support him to climb back onto the bed. Fortunately, he could feel the heat from the brazier here, so it was not too cold for his body to bear.

Zhou Boli coughed twice.

After Lu Yun finished practicing physical exercises, she breathed smoothly and felt relaxed, with her stomach empty.

"Hey, why are you sitting here?" Lu Yun saw the older brother sitting by the door. "You'll catch a cold if you sit like this."

As the little fat girl spoke, she pulled him up with her hands, half carrying him on her back and half supporting him, dragging him from the ground to the couch. Zhou Boli no longer had the mind to think about anything else. He lay on the bed like a fish out of water, his mouth opening and closing in a weak voice, "Water, I want to drink water."

Lu Yun brought tea and Zhou Boli drank two cups in a row. Perhaps he was too tired, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

My uncle walked in from outside, followed by a young man dressed as a servant. When the young man saw his master lying on the bed, tears of excitement welled up in his eyes. He turned around and bowed deeply to his uncle, then stood by the bed like a pillar, staring at him motionlessly.

Lu Yun ran over and tugged at her uncle's arm, saying simply, "I'm hungry."

Lu Xuelin took his niece away and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He was exhausted after working non-stop for the whole morning.

"Miss," Caihe ran in from the gate carrying a big bag, and shouted in surprise when she saw her young lady.

Oh, my dearest ones, Lu Yun moved forward with her short legs and hugged Caihe's thighs. A teardrop appeared in the corner of her eye, and she looked up pitifully and said, "I'm hungry." "I'm so hungry. From this morning till now, she has only eaten two buns, a bowl of porridge, and a bowl of medicine."

Cai He patted the bag on her back and winked at her young lady. She understood and turned to look at her uncle. "Uncle, where is my room?"

The handsome uncle slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Ouch!" He forgot about it in such a hurry.

Cai He added fuel to the fire. "When I came here, Madam said that the young lady would stay in the other courtyard for a month. In this case, it would be best if there was a courtyard with a small kitchen, and then hire an old lady to cook, preferably one with good pastry skills, as the young lady likes to eat pasta. Oh, and there are also daily shopping -"

Every time Caihe said something, Lu Yun saw that her uncle's face turned a little paler than before, hahaha.
