Awakened

  "Heavenly Song! Heavenly Song!"

  The sound of his mothers crying reached his ears, and Mo Tian Ge vaguely opened his eyes.

  "Heavensong!" The fourth daughter of the Mo family, who had been guarding her, burst into tears of joy. "Youve finally woken up."

  Her eyes slowly focused, and she called out in a daze: "Mother."

  "Mother is here. Is there anywhere else uncomfortable, tell mother quickly."

  A bewildered look floated in her eyes, and then she touched her belly: "Im so hungry."

  The fourth daughter was taken aback, then smiled with tears in her eyes: "You child, recklessly running into the ancestral hall and falling off a chair, you scared Master half to death. But youre fine, waking up and knowing your stomach is hungry. Mother will go make something for you to eat, wait a moment."

  She nodded: "Uh-huh."

  Fourth Daughter hastily went to the kitchen, but as she stepped out of the door, her vision suddenly blurred and she hurriedly leaned against the wall, her pale face taking a long time to recover.

  Mò Tiān Gē woke up, looked around, and everything was the same. He couldnt help but prop up his chin and mutter to himself: "Was it all just a dream?"

  As soon as she thought of this, a lot of strange words and gestures suddenly appeared in her mind, startling her.

  Those words were strange and completely different from what she had learned, but for some reason, she instinctively recognized them.

  "Is it true?" She slowly recalled everything in her dream, the meaning of many words she didnt understand, but those words were deeply etched in her mind.

  Immortal, is there really an immortal in this world? Can she also become an immortal and fly back and forth in the sky?

  But as soon as she thought of what her ancestor said, "Mother is gone and cannot be saved", her expression turned gloomy again.

  Footsteps came from outside the house, and someone entered the yard: "Fourth daughter, is this cooking?" Mo Tian Ge recognized that it was the voice of Ah Wang aunt next door.

  Then came the gentle voice of his mother: "Yes, Tian Ge has been unconscious for two days and hasnt eaten anything, shes starving."

  Aunt Awang smiled and said, "The child is awake? Thats good. We dont have anything valuable at home, just these few eggs and fruit, let Tian Ge supplement her body - ah, your complexion is so poor, come, sit down and rest for a while, Ill take care of this."

  "How can this be, sister always gives us eggs from her own home to eat, how can we still trouble you."

  "Whats the big deal, just stir-frying a few dishes is no trouble at all. Your family has helped us out many times before, remember when I fell down the mountain and was lucky to have Fourth Uncles help or I wouldve been crippled? Dont be polite about it."

  Fourth Master said it was her father, Mo Tian Ge knew. She had heard bits and pieces that her father not only had extensive knowledge but also medical skills, although he looked like a scholar, his strength was greater than others, Ah Wang Shu said this was because of the kung fu in his body. In the few years her father lived in the village, villagers didnt need to find outsiders when they were ill, and her father would help with building houses and digging wells.

  Then I heard Ah Wangs aunt say, "Tian Ge this child, how can a girl enter the ancestral hall? Fortunately, everyone saw that she was young and bumped her head, so they didnt mind. How is she now, is her head okay?"

  "Woke up and said Im hungry, probably nothing."

  "Thats good. But now that youre here, how will you take care of Tian Ge? Does your family want you to go back?"

  The girl didnt say anything, but Tian Ge knew that there was nothing. Grandma didnt like her mother and wasnt fond of her either. Her uncles werent close to her mother, and Grandpa was also very cold towards them. In that household, except for Tian Qiao being good to her, everyone else ignored her.

  Awangs aunt is right, mother is so seriously ill, how can she take care of her. She needs to get better and take care of mother.

  She plucked up her courage and jumped out of bed, but her head spun again.

  There were many things flying around in her mind, she knew it was the ancestor who spoke to her left behind, a thing called Su Nu Jue, she didnt quite understand, but she seemed to know what to do.

  The door was pushed open and Si Nangzi and Awang Shu each carried dishes of food into the room.

  Awang aunt saw her and smiled: "Tiangong can get out of bed now, how is it? Does your head hurt from the bump?"

  She shook her head: "Im fine, Aunt Awang."

  "Its okay, lets go eat, its been two days since we last ate anything, you must be starving?"

  "Mm." She nodded and turned her head to see her mother putting dishes on the table, saying: "Tiangē, come eat."

  She saw her mothers face turn pale and was worried: "Mother, whats wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

  The fourth daughter shook her head and smiled reassuringly: "Dont worry, I just didnt rest well, itll be fine after a while."

  She took the rice handed over by her mother, who said she hadnt eaten for two days and didnt feel it until now when she smelled the aroma of the dishes.

  Seeing her eating so voraciously, Fourth Daughter and Ah Wangs wife couldnt help but smile at each other.

  "Slow down, no one is competing with you, be careful not to choke."

  Theres something in my belly now, so I slowed down the pace of singing. I looked up and said, "Moms cooking is delicious, and Aunt Awangs stir-fried beans are also very fragrant."

  The two adults burst out laughing at this sentence.

  Awang aunt chatted for a while, then left. Before leaving, she said to the fourth daughter-in-law: "Although Tian Ge woke up, its not clear if theres anything wrong with her or not. Its better to ask the doctor to take another look."

  Fourth Daughter nodded: "Im just sorry that Im not of much use, and now well have to trouble Ah Wang again to invite the doctor."

  "Wherever you are, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Helping each other out is what we should do. This afternoon Ill ask the master of the house to go into town for a while, so just rest well at home and Ill be back."

  "Yes, sister-in-law, take care."

  Just after seeing off Aunt Awang, Fourth Daughter noticed her little niece had arrived.

  "Tian Qiao, how did you come?"

  Tian Qiao hesitantly replied, "Fourth Aunt, how is Tian Ge doing? Ill go take a look." Because Fourth Madam had been ill for a long time, no one in the family allowed her to come over, and Tian Qiao was quite unfamiliar with this Fourth Aunt.

  "Tiangē xǐng le ne, nǐ kě zhēn yǒu xīn. Lái, jìn lái zuò zuò."

  Translation: "Tiangē woke up, you really have a good heart. Come on in and take a seat."

  "Uh-huh."

  Tian Ge jumped up: "Tian Qiao!" as she saw Tian Qiao following her mother into the room.

  "Tiang, eat well!" Fourth Daughter-in-law scolded her with a glance, then smiled and said to Miao Tianqiao, "Tianqiao, sit for a while, Fourth Aunt will serve you noodles, do you want long noodles or dragon whisker noodles?"

  Miao Tianqiao hastily shook his head: "Fourth Aunt, no need, Ive already eaten." At home, they said not to eat at Fourth Aunts house. Although she didnt take it too seriously, when visiting someone elses home as a guest, one cant be too casual.

  Fourth Daughter didnt force the issue, went to the kitchen and picked up a few fruits that Aunt Awang had sent over, washed them clean and brought them over: "Eat some pears, these were sent by Aunt Awang next door, freshly picked."

  "Thank you, Fourth Aunt."

  The fourth daughter-in-law saw her being so polite and praised her a few more times before entering the inner room, letting the two children talk.

  "Tiangē, how did you end up falling in the ancestral hall? I heard from Father that you even knocked over the ancestors spirit tablets."

  "I... I didnt mean to."

  "Grandpa was very angry when he heard about it, saying that this is disrespect to our ancestors. A girl entered the ancestral hall and even knocked over the ancestors spirit tablet. Originally, Grandpa wanted to punish you, but other grandpas said, Youre still young and dont understand things, theres no need to punish you, so Grandpa wasnt angry anymore."

  Hearing that she had made her grandfather angry, Mo Tian Ge lowered her head and ate her rice. She was very afraid of her grandfather because he didnt like her mother, nor did he like her.

  "But its okay now. Where did you bump into, does it still hurt?"

  "My head still hurts a bit, but Im fine otherwise." Thinking of the ancestral tablet that had been knocked down by her, she felt some doubt, "Tian Qiao, why cant girls enter the ancestral hall? The one at the very top is also a female ancestor, isnt she?"

  "What? How did you know?"

  "I... I saw the name, it should be a girls name." Originally, she would tell Tian Qiao about anything that happened to her, but for some reason, she felt that such an unbelievable thing was better not told to others first. Especially since that person said that Mama couldnt be saved, she didnt want to let Mama know even more.

  "I dont know either, Ill go ask Grandpa."

  "Never mind, dont ask anymore, or Grandpa will get angry again."

  Mo Tian thought for a moment and also felt that way, so she didnt say anything else. Instead, she asked her: "When are you going to school?"

  "Go tomorrow, Im fine now."

  "Alright, I have something fun, and Ill bring it to school tomorrow for us to play together."

  "Alright."

  In the afternoon, Uncle Wang next door really went to town and invited a doctor to come. Seeing Mo Tian Ge jumping around, he took his pulse and said directly that he didnt need to take any medicine, he was fine.

  The fourth daughter finally felt at ease. She personally went down to the kitchen, stir-fried a dish of green vegetables, pan-fried tofu with minced meat, and asked Aunt Awang to buy pigs trotters from the butcher in the village, then stewed a pot of pigs trotter soup.

  Mò Tiān Gē saw these and was extremely tempted. Rarely did he see such rich food at home, let alone so many delicious dishes.

  Fourth daughter divided some pigs trotter soup to let Mo Tian Ge send it next door, the mother and daughter had a good dinner and went to bed.
