The two helped each other stand up.

Ming Jing asked the little girl, “What’s your name?”

The little girl said innocently, “My name is Guo Zian.”

“Master Ming Jing, have you forgotten? You named her. You said her original name clashed with her birthdate, and if it wasn’t changed, she would suffer misfortunes her whole life. You named her Zian.”

Ming Jing smiled, “My memory.”

“Zian, in the future, you must study well and become a kind and sincere person, okay?”

The little girl nodded, “I want to become a person as amazing as Master Ming Jing.”

Ming Jing smiled and said, “Good.”

Next, there was an old man holding his grandson who came to Ming Jing for treatment. His situation was similar to Guo Zian’s, but it had been delayed for a long time. Ming Jing needed to give him acupuncture for three consecutive days. She initially planned to leave the mountain tomorrow morning, but this meant she would have to stay in the mountains for two more days.

Looking at the patched clothes the old man wore, and the child who was so thin that his bones were visible, Ming Jing sighed and handed the prescription to the middle-aged woman waiting at the side, “Auntie Cui Lan, I’ll trouble you.”

Yang Cuilan hurriedly took it and said, “It’s no trouble, it’s my honor to help Master Ming Jing. Besides, Geng Zit s parents are no longer here, and the child is quite pitiful. His grandfather’s eyes aren’t good either. I’ll definitely help if I can.”

Ming Jing glanced at the old man, his right eye cloudy and unfocused.

“Grandpa, Geng Zits treatment requires three days of continuous acupuncture. The mountain roads are difficult to travel. Please stay in the temple for these three days.”

The old man, holding the child and crying gratefully, said, “Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master.”

Ming Jing thought her heart had been hardened by a thousand hammers, but it seemed that in the face of true suffering, it could still soften.

The sun crept up the trees, and the temple gradually quieted down.

The villagers sent over many oils, rice, and vegetables. Yang Cuilan stayed to help cook, quickly preparing a large table of food.

When Master Wu Xin was still here, she would often come to the temple to help with chores and was well-liked by everyone for her vegetarian cooking. “Where’s Master Ming Jing?” Yang Cuilan looked around but didn’t see her. Ming Chen replied, “She’s with my eldest sister.”

Yang Cuilan found it strange, “What illness does Master Ming Xin have? It’s been several months, is everything really okay?”

At this moment, Ming Ti came over and said, “Eldest sister’s illness can’t be exposed to sunlight. Don’t worry, Auntie Cui Lan. Ming Jing learned Master’s true teachings, and her medical skills are extraordinary. She will definitely cure my eldest sister.”

“Oh, that’s good.” Yang Cuilan didn’t say anything else.

“Dinner is ready. Come and eat.”

After Yang Cuilan turned around, Ming Ti glared at Ming Chen, “Remember what second sister said. Don’t reveal anything about eldest sister to anyone.” Ming Chen nodded, “I know. I wasn’t planning on saying anything anyway.” At night, Ming Jing lay in bed, preparing to sleep.

The door creaked slightly open. A small head peeked in, “Second sister, I can’t sleep.”

Ming Jing helplessly said, “Come in.”

The next moment, Ming Yi scrambled onto the bed and snuggled into Ming Jing’s arms, hugging her neck with a grin, “Second sister, I want to sleep with you.”

Since this child was brought to the temple, Ming Jing had been taking care of her. She had always loved to cling to Ming Jing when she was little.

Ming Jing had tried to let her sleep alone, but the child would sneak into her bed in the middle of the night. Eventually, Ming Jing stopped trying to stop her.

Ming Yi smelled Ming Jing’s scent and sighed with satisfaction, “Second sister, did you have a good time in the city? Is it really fun there? Are there many delicious foods? I heard from fourth sister that it’s much better than the town.”

Ming Jing held the soft little body in her arms and said, “The vast world is full of splendid and bustling sights. You have a lifetime to experience it.”

At this moment, the door creaked again, and two more heads peeked in. Ming

Jing laughed, “You two aren’t going to sleep?”

Ming Chen walked in with a pillow, holding back a grin, “I’m afraid I’ll wake up and find it’s all a dream, and you’ll be gone again, second sister.”

Ming Jing felt a wave of tenderness in her heart, “When have I ever lied to you?”

“I don’t care. If Xiao Wu can sleep with you, we want to sleep with you too.”

Ming Jing helplessly said, “The bed is only this big. It won’t fit.”

They didn’t listen to her explanations and jumped onto the bed, even if they had to squeeze themselves into a pancake just to sleep next to Ming Jing.

The night was cool as water. The bright moonlight penetrated the window and spilled onto the bed. The three children slept in awkward positions, but the smiles on their faces were peaceful and blissful.

“Second sister, don’t go…” Ming Yi mumbled in her sleep.

Ming Jing pulled the covers over them, put on her robe, and got up. She looked at everything in the temple: the plants, the bricks, and the tiles..
