Chapter 2

Screams of pain and anguish rang through the small dafan village as they started to wake up. Wen Qing gasps for breath as she woke up and sat abruptly straight up. She can still feel the flames of the fire licking at her skin and the sound of her brothers animalistic voice as he screams. Her hands moved on its own as it trying to put out the fire only to feel a warm body embracing her as her whole body shook as sobs ripped through her throat.

"It's fine Jie. I am here. We are all here and we are fine Jie. Please do not cry."

She could hear her brothers voice speaking to her but her brain and body are back at the Jin sect as she feel the flames heat surround her whole body. Wen Ning forget to breath for a second as his breath hitched in his throat as tears flows down his cheeks.

"Jie look at me. Jie please look at me."

He pleaded as he gently pushed his sister so that he could take her face between his hands but as soon as he looked into Wen Qing's eyes his heart broke all over again. His sister is trapped inside her own mind as screams kept on echoing from her mouth and he pulled her back into a comforting hug when a soft hand landed on his shoulder Wen Ning looked up into the heartbroken faces of his family.

Wen Popo and Uncle Four and all his aunties and uncles tears streaming down their faces as Wen Popo holds a small little sleeping A-Yuan in her arms.

"A-Ning you have to knock her out. She will be fine we have to believe it she has too."

Wen Popo said in sad voice and Wen Ning nodded his head before he return his face back to his sister who were still screaming and he slipped a needle from his sleeve and stabbed it into her back. When she finally calmed down and her screams had stopped Wen Qing fell into an unconscious state but her screaming had woken the little radish up and he started to cry. Wen PoPo soothes him gently but his crying only increased.

"I want baba and a-die."

He cried over and over again and their hearts breaks all over again.

"Who is A-Yuan calling for?. Who is his baba and a-die?."

Uncle Four asked Wen Ning after he laid his sister down gently and wrapped a blanket around her. He gave her one last sad look before he turned towards his family.

"Master Wei and second young master lan."

He answered softly and his family were confused at his answer. Wen Ning showed them out the room and let them outside as he took the crying A-Yuan from Wen Popo and starred to hum a melody to him that they immediately recognized. It's the same melody that Master Wei used to play on his flute some nights. The melody Wen Ning slowly started to soothe A-Yuan and his eyes closed as little hick ups left his mouth.

He waved for them to sit down and then he told them everything that had happened after they all had died. How Lan Wangji found A-Yuan at the burial mounds with a high fever after the death of Wei Wuxian . He took him back to Gusu with him and raised him as his own son. Gratitude and relief washed over their faces knowing that their little A-Yuan had survived the massacre.

He told them everything also about how the two had died in the temple. Everyone cried when Wen Ning had finished.

"I can still feel the connection between me and Wuxian. He is alive that much I know. "

He told them and relief washes over their faces. Wen Ning himself found it difficult and still had to remind to breath normally. He still is getting used to being alive again he does not know why he and Wuxian still share a connection but he is glad that they did even if don't know where he is. At least he was not in danger so he must be somewhere safe.
