Stabber of Hearts Chapter 237

Three months had passed since the girl first came, and during this period the master had not come back once. In the first few days, Lin Yang was still worried, afraid that she would suddenly fall ill, and afraid that the master would come back and take the girl away. However, after so much time had passed, not only was the master nowhere to be seen, but even the hideous black lines on her body had not spread. It seemed that the master was aware of her physical condition, so he was unwilling to give her medicine last time.

Within three months, Lin Yang had taught the girl everything he knew, even pointing out which stars would never change their positions. The girl gradually became familiar with life in the deep forest, and did everything he taught her very well. Seeing this, Lin Yang occasionally thought of letting the girl escape, but she knew and feared her master too well. She knew that there were more vast forests outside the forest they were familiar with, and she also knew that the master had many ways to find the girl, and she could not escape. Later, the days they spent together became longer and longer, and Lin Yang no longer even thought of this matter that would cost them their lives. Maybe the master just brought the girl back to raise her like he picked her up, or maybe the master would never come back again. Whenever Lin Yang thought of this, she would be in a dead end with a headache. She didn't want the girl to get sick from time to time like her, but if the master didn't come back, she would definitely die...

Lin Yang had no other choice but to keep a record of the days since she last took the medicine. Although this did not help delay the onset of the disease, she carved dense vertical marks on the narrow wooden board. Once, a little girl saw her doing this. The girl curiously asked her what she was doing. Lin Yang answered nonchalantly, "Recording the days."

Lin Yang did not explain what day he was recording, so the girl was considerate and did not ask any more questions. She just watched Lin Yang carve the marks with a sharpened stone. Suddenly she said, "It will be inconvenient for you to record the number in the future. Maybe you can use the word '正' instead."

Lin Yang put the board away and looked up at her. "What are you doing?"
