Chapter 65 - 064 Recognition
"Ahem," He Xuewen covered his mouth and quietly coughed a few times, "Were the injuries you sustained also caused by those villains?" Tian Sisi asked with concern.
"Yes, ten years ago, they captured Daddy intending to force me to divulge the location of the He Family treasure. How could Daddy possibly betray his ancestors? Besides, even if I had given them the treasure, they wouldn’t have spared the He Family, so in a fit of rage, they beat Daddy up severely." He Xuewen spoke lightly, but Tian Sisi knew that the situation must have been extremely brutal at the time.
"I still have some Lung Nourishing Wine; wait here for a moment." Tian Sisi glanced around the room, noticed that Chengsi was outside, unable to see inside, then swiftly slipped into the Space. Since He Xuewen already knew about the Space, there was no need to keep it hidden anymore, plus Sisi knew due to her sensitivity to people, that He Xuewen was the last person in the world who would hurt her.
Although He Xuewen already knew about the blessed land, seeing his daughter vanish right in front of him still gave him quite a shock. He busied himself securing all doors and windows. Tian Sisi reappeared shortly after, holding a few bottles of wine, and handed them to He Xuewen.
"You drink this Lung Nourishing Wine first, and when you’ve finished, I’ll get more for you. Don’t throw away the bottles, I don’t have many empty ones left."
He Xuewen immediately opened a bottle and took a sip; his itchy trachea felt much more comfortable at once. He was incredibly happy in his heart. With this Lung Nourishing Wine, he no longer worried about his frail body giving up. Now that he had found his daughter, he had never felt as resolutely determined to keep living, to live well and protect his beloved treasure.
"I will also brew many other kinds of nourishing wines, and once your lungs are healed, I’ll make other tonic wines for you, ensuring that your health improves rapidly," Tian Sisi whispered softly. Even as a layperson, she could see that He Xuewen was in very poor health, likely affecting his longevity.
"Alright, Ah Nan, take your time, and don’t exhaust yourself. Daddy is not in a hurry," He Xuewen said, smiling warmly.
"Then, will you leave again?" Tian Sisi didn’t realize herself how her voice carried a hint of attachment, which of course He Xuewen heard, making his eyes smile even more. Indeed, Tian Sisi’s eyes were very much like He Xuewen’s - both had crescent-shaped laughing eyes, very charming when they smiled.
"I won’t be leaving for now. Daddy will stay here to watch Ah Nan grow up; tomorrow, I’ll find a place to stay in this village, so Ah Nan, you don’t need to worry."
