Chapter Five (Part 1)

Dong Fang Tang came back.

Bing’er anxiously paced back and forth outside the sleeping chamber, from time to time she would look at the closed doors. Why didn’t Dong Fang Ling let her in to help, it left her feeling very uneasy. How is his condition, would he have a chance to get better?

Dong Fang Ao entered into Purple Dawn Manor, from far he could see a figure walking back and forth,his eyes flashed with killing intent, but due to his brother’s warning, he could only helplessly sigh.

"What are you doing here?"

His tone was not respectful, frowning as he approached her. He will heed to his brother’s request, but that does not mean he will treat her well.

"Second young master." Bing’er bowed respectfully and said:. "This servant is waiting for third young master to come out."

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at her worried face that did not seemed to be faked, he replied with a slightly gentle tone: "Are you worried if young master could be cured of his blindness?"

"Yes, servant is really worried."

Binger lightly nod and looked at the closed the door, she did not see the glint in his eyes. "If the young master"s eyes does not get better, what would you do?" Dong Fang Ao said as to test her, his eyes looked straight at her.

“It will get better!" Binger excitedly answered, but then noticed his questioning eyes and lightly coughed and added: "I mean, third young master is praised for his medical skills and knowledge, young master will definitely be able to see again."

This Dong Fang Ao is acting rather strange, not only his eyes seem to pry, but his mouth as well, does he suspect her of something?

"Well said, if Fang Tang does not cure Young master, then he won’t be expecting to leave Dong Fang House anytime soon."

Dong Fang Ao looked at the closed doors and loosened his face. After he has personally confirmed, he felt relieved, just as his big brother said, she seemed to be more worried than themselves and really does want him to get better.

In the room, Dong Fang Tang carefully checked Dong Fang Ling’s eyes and sighed after putting down the light, his gentle face finally rid of his solemnness. He poured himself a cup of tea and looked at Dong Fang Ling, a thought pa.s.sed through his pair of eyes.

"Big brother, you are blinded by poison but half of it have already left your body, if I guessed right, you can occasionally see blurred images, correct?"

"Yes, you are indeed the genius that everyone says." The corners of Dong Fang Ling’s lips curved up, his handsome face showed admiration.

"But I do not understand, since that person can detoxify you, why not just completely cure you?"

If he had known his brother’s condition was not as serious as he had thought, then he woudl have spent his nights sleeping instead of riding his horse non-stop, afraid for the worse.

"Because she did not have the red scorpion powder’s antidote. I guess she used all the drug detoxification that she had on me hoping for a miracle." Dong Fang Ling knew, Bing’er often put different kinds of antidotes in his food, but not the correct one. But perhaps because she  used so many on him, his body had secreted some of the toxins, so that he can sometimes see vague shadows.

"Really? That person would not be the same person who blinded you right?" Dong Fang Tang asked questioningly.

Dong Fang Ling smiled but did not speak.

By his smile, Dong Fang Tang knew he was not going to answer any questions, so he did not ask anymore.

"To completely cure you of the red scorpion powder, Silver Pulp Gra.s.s is needed and coincidentally I have a few with me. A little later I need to treat you using acupuncture needles then you will be able to see again, but from time to time your body will ache. Just continue eating the Silver Pulp Gra.s.s for three days and your body will be rid of toxins which will then give back your sight completely. "

When he was on his way back to the Dong Household, he had helped a heavily injured man, that man was from the Western Regions, in order to thank him, the man gave him the rare Silver Pulp Gra.s.s that could only be found in the West, did not expect he to use it now.

"When you go out, do not tell anyone the truth, just tell them that it will take a few more days to be able to be cured."

Dong Fang Tang was puzzled but followed his brother’s wishes, he must have his own reasons.

“How long do you intend to stay since you have come back?"

Dong Fang Tang cleared his throat and replied: "Since brother’s eyes are fine, I will leave tomorrow."

"You can really have a conscience, you have left home for more than a year, if not for the occasional letters I receive from you two, I would have thought you two already died outside." Dong Fang Ling mocking said.

"Big Brother ......" Dong Fang Tang could only laugh bitterly and said nothing. Before he had come back, he was already prepared for his elder brothers to tear at him, but he had to come back.

"Enough of that, come and set the needles already."

"Yes."
