Abbess Huijue said gently, “It’s not surprising. The surname Su is common in Qingzhou, just like the surname Li in Liuzhou or Yang in Wuzhou. It wouldn’t be odd for a village to have over a dozen Su families. There was even Su family in Dongxian years ago. But thirty years ago, there was a famine, and many fled or died, then the village no longer exists.” 

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, could it be that her father had fled from that Su family village? 

Remembering something, Abbess Huijue asked, “I heard that you have medical skills and even cured Tinglan’s old illness?”  

It must have been written in Aunt Fu’s letter. 

Su Xiaoxiao modestly replied, “Just a little bit.” 

Abbess Huijue smiled, “You could cure her illness, something that even her husband couldn’t do, you should be more than a novice.” 

The Fu family had been practicing medicine for generations.  

Abbess Huijue didn’t ask where Su Xiaoxiao had learned her skills but sighed instead, “I had an old friend who suffered from a chronic illness for years. Unfortunately, they never met a good doctor like you.” 

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Where is this old friend of yours?” 

If it wasn’t too far, she could go there to take a look. 

Abbess Huijue said, “It’s in the capital.” 

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “The capital is too far away.” 

Fucheng and the surrounding areas were the furthest she could go for now.  If it was further away, she wouldn’t be able to handle family matters. 

Abbess Huijue smiled and said, “By the way, Miss Su, can you play chess?” 

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Gomoku or checkers?”  

-Gomoku, is basically ‘connect five’ played with the same equipment as Go. Go is a game about surrounding more territory than your opponent, treating the open spaces as points. Despite the fact that they use the same equipment, the games are incredibly different.

-Checkers

-Chinese checkers 

Abbess Huijue paused for a moment and said, “Huh?” 

Su Xiaoxiao understood and said, “Go chess? I can’t.” 

-Go chess

Abbess Huijue thought that this little girl was really fun, and her words were unconventional. 

She said, “I will teach you.” 

  ……

That afternoon, Su Xiaoxiao spent her time playing chess in Abbess Huijue’s meditation room, while Su Ergou was coaxed by the young nuns into picking fruit. 

The three little ones didn’t want to pick fruit. 

“You want, you want it, all of you want it!” 

The eleven year old ‘older’ nun decisively pulled away three little ones. 

Don’t be fooled by her small size, but her strength was strong. 

The three little ones were dragged away without any resistance… 

By the time Su Ergou and the three little ones returned to the nunnery, they were covered in dirt and became a dirty dog, and three dirty tigers*.  

*Su Ergou’s name, ‘gou’ means dog, and Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu’s names, ‘hu’ means tiger. 

The group stayed in the nunnery until evening, and Abbess Huijue invited them to have dinner. 

Su Xiaoxiao estimated that at this time, Wei Ting should be waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.  

She politely declined the invitation from Abbess Huijue. 

After playing wildly all afternoon without taking a nap, the three little ones started yawning as soon as they were about to start coming down the mountain.  

Su Ergou carried one of them. 

It was Xiaohu. 

Xiaohu used his eyelids to show his last bit of resistance before falling asleep. 

Su Xiaoxiao went to carry Dahu and Erhu. Just as she picked one up, a slender and jade-like hand reached out. 

“I’ll do it.” 

Wei Ting said softly. 

Su Xiaoxiao withdrew her hands and looked at him in surprise, “Why did you come up the mountain? There are so many steps, your leg…”

Before she could finish, she noticed that he wasn’t using a crutch. 

“Is your leg healed?” She asked. 

Wei Ting paused for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly, and he answered calmly, “Yes.” 

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes suspiciously, “Why did it heal as soon as we arrived at Fucheng? Were you faking it at home? And why aren’t you faking it now? Let me guess, were you so eager to pick us up that you forgot your crutch?” 

Wei Ting took Dahu from her arms and went down the mountain expressionlessly, “You talk too much!”
