The young man sat in a courtyard wearing thin clothes while the cold wind blew, causing his clothes to flutter. He looked at the falling leaves, his back somewhat cold as he sat under a tree until the sky darkened.

The person beside him whispered, “Your Highness, it’s getting cold. You should return to your room. Your body can’t take it. If the princess were alive and knew you were out in the cold like this, she would pity you.”

The young man coughed violently after hearing that. His constant coughing could cause one’s heart to clench.

Su Binglan cleared the fog in her sleep. Her heart ached when she saw him coughing. It was her brother, Lan Ruozhu.

She wanted to cure him while living as Lan Ruobing, but her soul and memories were incomplete. Now that she had reincarnated as Su Binglan, much of her memories were slowly recovering.

She believed she could finally cure Lan Ruozhu once she reunited with him.

Su Binglan had slept for too long this time, frightening everyone. She did not know what had happened around her, as three days had passed before she awoke.

The winter sun was still warm when she regained consciousness. The sunlight shone through the window into the room, giving a halo to the area inside. The warm light would make one feel lazy and relaxed when one awoke from a deep slumber.

Everyone was excited when they saw Su Binglan opening her eyes. Li Erying was the first to notice this. Her eyes lit up, saying excitedly, “Teacher, you’re finally awake! ”

Li Su happily ran over. “Miss Su is awake, everyone!”

Shen Qiuhua happened to be home when she heard the commotion, so she hurriedly ran into the room.

Meanwhile, Su Wenxiu, arranging the medicinal herbs in the back yard also heard the news and ran toward his sister’s room.

‘My little sister is finally awake!’ He was extremely excited.

Su Binglan looked at Li Erying, who was beside the bed. She noticed the girl crying and said softly, “Why are you crying, Erying?”

Li Erying wiped her tears with the back of her hand and shook her head. “No, I’m just happy, that’s all.”

Su Binglan was a teacher and guiding light to Li Erying and the others. The former resembled a bright lamp at night, illuminating the road ahead. After all, these apprentices would not be where they were without Su Binglan.

These apprentices were confused in the past, but ever since they started learning from Su Binglan, they felt genuinely happy. Moreover, they saved many people after the earthquake. Everyone was grateful and respected them wherever they went.

Many people even brought gifts to their homes to thank them, even though the apprentices did not study medicine for glory. They wanted to learn and become doctors to cure illnesses and save lives.

The apprentices could feel appreciated and respected by others when they saved lives. They felt their lives had become more fulfilling because of it. Their hearts burned with passion as people warmly greeted them on the streets.

In the past, people would ignore them. Li Erying feared they would drag her brother down because of her decisions and that he would leave her one day. She feared many things, but no longer. She had grown to be a confident young lady and felt a sense of existence.

Although Su Binglan had told her apprentices to call her “teacher,” she was their master in their hearts.

Su Binglan was only four years older than Li Erying, but Li Erying and the others depended on her. They felt a sense of security on Su Binglan’s side.

She had been unconscious for three days, and her students were terrified. At this moment, everyone was excited when the news of Su Binglan’s awakening spread.

After sleeping for three days, Su Binglan recovered her energy and Soul

Powers quite a bit. She sat upright and patted Li Eryings head. “I’m okay.

Don’t cry, Erying.”

Shen Qiuhua looked at her daughter, her worried heart finally settling down. “Why did you sleep for so long, Binglan? What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, Mother. I’ve been busy for a long time, so I guess I was that exhausted. How long was I asleep?” After observing everyone’s expressions, Su Binglan realized she had slept for quite a long time.

Shen Qiuhua carefully studied her daughter’s expression and said, “You slept for three days and scared us all.”

Su Binglan sat up and rubbed her head. “l slept for three days?”

Although it had been a long time, she was still very energetic after waking up. It was as if she had only slept for one night.

“That’s right. It’s been three days. Sister, I couldn’t find anything wrong with you even after checking your pulse. Everything seemed normal. Our parents and brothers even said my medical skills weren’t good enough.” Su Wenxiu was also extremely worried.

He used to be confident in his medical skills after treating many patients.

However, he began doubting himself when his sister remained unconscious. Fortunately, Su Binglan had woken up.

Even though everyone at home was busy, they dared not sleep for the past few days. Even Su Binglan’s apprentices were anxious and wanted to stay by her side to care for her.

Li Erying and the others were too afraid to close their eyes for the past three days. Still, only Li Erying and Li Su could stay beside Su Binglan’s bed because they lived in Su Teng Village.

The other three girls were from other villages, while the boys were busy helping to treat people. Although there were fewer injured people in Tenghe Town, there were more in other towns, so everyone went to help.

Three days had passed since the earthquake, and everyone who needed help had received it. Now, everyone felt relaxed after things calmed dovvn. Su Wenxiu had also returned to fiddle with his herbs.

“I’m fine. If I fall asleep in the future, you don’t have to worry. I’ll wake up sooner or later. All I needed was some good rest,” after Su Binglan said that, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Then she asked about what had happened over the past three days. Shen Qiuhua knew her daughter was concerned and hurriedly answered, “Everything has stabilized. There aren’t any more problems. Everyone says that you saved them and are grateful to you.”

Su Wenxiu quickly added, “Sister, you told me we could use the dormitories beside the embroidery shop to house the surrounding villagers, so I did as you said.

“Many houses collapsed, and the weather is too cold for the refugees to stay outside. Fortunately, we had enough room to help those people. Now everyone is helping to rebuild the collapsed houses and even renovate them. Uncle Zhengde and the others have been busy these past few days.

“Everyone trusts his and Xueye’s construction teams. They say the houses they build are quake-proof..”
