Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Mo Xing!" Feng Qian Bo was stunned.

Dzing! Jleb!

An arrow was shot and pierced straight on Lin Qiang's shoulder, preventing her from killing her own son. However, the hairpin still pierced through Feng Mo Xing's skin, causing him to bleed.

The boy was stunned and when he saw blood, he fainted directly.

Feng Mo Yue was not any better. She was stunned speechless when she saw her own mother tried to kill her younger brother. As fear enveloped her, everything turned black in her vision and she lost her consciousness.

"Lin Qiang!" Feng Qian Bo ran over and crouched beside his wife.

"The wound is not fatal," Feng Qian Shao said reassuringly as he noticed that the arrow avoided the fatal point. He looked into a distance where he could see Old Master Nan with his son and 'Nan Luo.'

Feng Ao Kuai put down his bow and looked at the couple from a distance. He frowned. "Did I stop her in time?"

He was not sure about whether he managed to stop her in time since he simply made his move when he saw that Lin Qiang was about to kill Feng Mo Xing. If she was only planning to run away, he would not harm her.

But since she tried to kill his cousin, he had no other choice but to shoot her.

Even if it was not fatal, it might affect her greatly in the future.

"Feng Mo Xing is still alive." Nan Hua had used a needle to stop Lin Qiang's movement, thus the hairpin only caused a scratch. Since Feng Ao Kuai also shot an arrow right afterwards, it gave the perfect cover.

She had to figure out a method to recover the needle, though.

"What happened to Lin Qiang, Grandfather?" Feng Ao Kuai asked Old Master Nan as they alighted down the horse.

Old Master Nan furrowed his eyebrows. He shook his head. "We might only able to find out later."

"Oh."

The two children didn't ask anymore as they waited for Feng Qian Bo to treat Lin Qiang's wound. The soldiers were surrounding the two of them and also helped to carry the children onto the horses.

They should return. It was late at night.

From a distance away, Nan Hua faintly heard melody from a flute. She turned her head to the side, noticing that the source was the small hut where her ninth senior stayed. Her eyes flickered slightly as the tune merged with the wind and dispersed. In the ears of ordinary people, it didn't sound any different from wind.

"Hua'er?" Feng Ao Kuai asked when he noticed that Nan Hua was staring at a different location.

Nan Hua shook her head. This matter was far from over.

…

Back in Feng Family Residence, the doctors couldn't determine what was wrong with Lin Qiang. However, they did notice that her life force was faint and weak. It was as if her blood and Qi was sucked out dry by something unknown.

Feng Qian Bo frowned. "What do you mean by they're weak, Doctor?"

Checking Feng Mo Xing and Feng Mo Yue, the doctor also said that the children were somewhat weak. Feng Qian Bo knew that Feng Mo Xing was a bit weaker than children his age, but Feng Mo Yue should be fine. She was quite active in her daily activities, though girls didn't really have much to do compared to boys who had to run around the field.

The doctor was sweating buckets. "Second Master Feng, they seem to be lacking in nutrition or something like that. I can't pinpoint the exact reason for their current condition but it'll be bad if this continues."

"What do they need."

"I can prescribe some medicine that will help them to increase their blood and Qi." The doctor knew that this would help, but he had the feeling that if they didn't take care of the roots, it would not help much.

Feng Qian Bo was on the verge of exploding when he saw the hesitant look of the doctor. Was it really hard to diagnose his wife's condition?

"First Brother, do you have any other doctor?"

Feng Qian Shao nodded. "There are several military doctors. I can call them now."

"Please."

It was late at night, so disturbing them at this time was not exactly appropriate. However, it was a bit of emergency. Even though the wound on her shoulder was treated, they still needed to figure out the reason as to why his wife would attack her own children.

Was it because of their weak body?

Old Master Nan and the other two were also present. Nan Luo sadly had to stay behind to guard the residence while Nan Hua pretended to become him and came to take a look. Feng Ao Kuai was still examining the result of the investigation and the servants who leaked the route out.

Looking at the result, Feng Ao Kuai tugged Old Master Nan's clothes.

"What is it, Ah Kuai?"

"Grandfather, the servants are mostly new." Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. "They all come here early this year."

Which meant that most of the servants who helped Lin Qiang to get out of the residence were new people who came to Feng Family Residence recently. It was unknown whether there was someone outside who helped them or not.

Old Master Nan nodded. "I see."

"Grandfather, are you planning to help them?" Feng Ao Kuai noticed that the next doctor was also chased out by the raging Feng Qian Bo. It seemed that the mess would not end unless they figure out the real reason.

"How about if we call Traveling Doctor Liu to help?"

Feng Ao Kuai then passed a look at Nan Hua, who was looking in the direction of the house. "What do you think, Luo?"

"Hmm?" Nan Hua turned on her acting skill. She looked at her cousin and showed a playful smirk on her face. "If there's enough payment, wouldn't Traveling Doctor Liu come?"

If there was anything that she knew about her Master, that was his love to suck money from the rich…

Feng Ao Kuai's lips twitched. He would try to ask this….
