But I couldn't leave her alone in this place, especially at night. This means that no matter where I go, I only have one day at most.

  I don't know what will become of joy in the end, whether it will die or suddenly disappear.

  Xile is still able to give Xiao Bian a haircut, but she can no longer walk on her own. I think that everything in this world will be repaid, for example, now it's my turn to cook. I imagine how bad the food must taste, but Xile eats more than usual. I think people who are sick don't really want to eat anything. I ask Xile: Are you very hungry?

  Xi Le said: No.

  I asked: How can you eat so much?

  Xile said: I'm not hungry, but your child is hungry.

  I said: What do you think I should do in the future?

  Xile said: "You sound like you're giving a farewell speech. I think it's because we're going to have a baby, so I'm too weak. Actually, I can still walk, but I've forgotten many things, where did we dig the trap? I'm afraid I'll get lost and fall down, getting hurt..."

  I said: Alright, I'll take you to Chang'an now. First, we'll go to Chengshou Hall, then I'll head to the palace to find him. Do you remember Shifu's brother? I told you before, he's already the crown prince. There are imperial physicians in the palace, they can definitely cure this. This matter can't be delayed, let's go now.

  Joy is speechless.

  Halfway through, Jile asked: What's his name?

  I said: I think the girl is also called Xile.

  Xǐlè said: Who would think that a good name would be used all the way, and in the end, no one can tell who is who, unless only one person is left. Do you want to teach him something?

  I said: It's a lot of trouble, three people live here, and the house needs to be expanded later. You're the most troublesome one, can't add another room, you see, can only make it bigger, haven't figured out how to do it yet.

  Xile said: I won't bother you, I'll move out and live elsewhere, there will still be two people in the house.

  I said: Where are you moving?

  Xile asked: How much silver do we have left?

  I said: There's still quite a bit left.

  Xǐlè said: What will you do from now on?

  I said: Let's talk when you're feeling better.

  Xi Le said: My stomach hurts.

  I said: Is it going to be born?

  Xile said: It's not time yet, you're really anxious. If it can't be born, use a sword, but not that one, my belly...

  I said: What did you say? You lie down first, I'll think of a way.

  Xǐ lè shuō: nǐ zuì méi bàole.

  Translation:

  Xi Le said: You're completely helpless.

  I said: What about that bottle of water you stole last time, from Wan Yong Shan Zhuang?

  Xile said: I didn't steal it. I was bringing it to you, I was afraid you would be poisoned.

  I said: I'm not poisoned now, where am I hiding?

  Under the bed.

  I looked under the bed and found a lot of things. I asked: What are all these? Didn't you steal them when you went out?

  Xile said: I've never stolen anything. Those were things I secretly bought for you every time I went into town.

  What is it?

  Xī lè shuō: nǐ bù dǒng de, zhī yī fu de yòng.

  Translation:

  Xi Le said: You don't understand, it's for weaving clothes.

  I said: How come I've never discovered it before?

  Xile said: Your eyes have never been on me, I brought back so many things and you didn't even notice.

  I found the water which is said to cure all poisons and told Jile: "Drink it."

  Xile said: I won't drink, I'm not poisoned anyway.

  I said: Drink it and listen to me, if this doesn't work I'll take you to see a doctor.

  Xile said: Don't drink, this can be used as a precaution in case of an emergency later. You're the most careless one, if you get bitten by a snake while digging traps, it's just right to use it. We can also sell half of it if we don't have any silver.

  I said: Cheers, bottoms up!

  He just smiled and took a small sip.

  I said: From now on, we have to drink every day. What do you think?

  Xi Le said: I was originally fine, just weak, maybe he was too strong.

  I said: Who?

  Xile said: You're really stupid. Even when I'm better, you can only do physical labor, such as digging traps, pulling weeds, and chopping firewood. It's just that my stomach hurts a bit.

  I said: I'll take you to see a doctor.

  Xile said: I see you happy, I'm happy too. Seeing you sad, I should be sad too, but I've never seen you sad before. You must be someone who never gets sad. Shaolin died so many people and you didn't get sad at all, I secretly cried many times.

  I said: Because those people have nothing to do with me.

  Xile said: I'm very sad. But you never being sad is a good thing, at least in my memory, you've never been sad before, this shows that you're still different, haha, you say, if I were to die, would you be sad?

  I stroked Xile's head and said: I've been sad for a long time.

  Xile said: Then how can I see it?

  I said: I didn't show it.

  Xǐlè said: "Are you showing nothing at all?"

  I said: Yes. But these days, I'm very anxious.

  What's the hurry?

  I said: Don't worry about anything, I was wrong. You will naturally get better slowly.

  Xi Le said: "Alright, I've thought it through too. You go to the palace and find Shifu Ge, have him bring a good imperial physician. Go now."

  I said: Xi Le, are you okay?

  Xile said: I hope you get well soon.

  I said: Okay. I'll go now. But it's already evening.

  Xile said: It's okay, I'm not afraid of anything.

  I said: You wait for me, I'll ride a small bike, it's faster this way, back and forth quickly. Leave the sword here with you.

  Xile said: Good. This time I won't mess around.

  I said: Be right back.

  He finished speaking and turned around to leave.

  Xǐlè shuō: Děng děng.

  English Translation:

  Xi Le said: Wait a minute.

  I stopped and asked: What's wrong?

  Xi Le looked at me and said: Xiao Bian was born with short legs, you ride it well.

  I agreed and immediately turned around and left, riding on a small horse.

  Not yet arrived in Chang'an, I gradually felt something was wrong. I thought Xile was driving me away. Immediately turning back to the forest, I faintly heard the sound of a child crying. I thought, could it be that Xile is too embarrassed to give birth in front of me?
