Chapter 177 Mu Yang Fell and Broke His Left Arm (2)
One early morning, a palm-sized bird perched upon the big tree outside the window of Mu Yang's room. This bird looked quite small but had a loud voice, it’s every call caused Mu Yang to feel increasingly vexed.
He asked his servants to chase it away several times, but the bird was so clever and agile that no one could do anything about it.
Just when Mu Yang was scratching his head and plugging his ears in annoyance, the bird even found a wife, and within two days filled their nest with eggs. The bird couple eagerly sang on the branch.
Mu Yang was so angry that he stood under the tree and scolded, "Your wife gave birth just a few days after you brought her back, these kids must not be your own! How could you be willing to help raise others’ children, why don't you just let me pluck her feathers and throw her into the pot?"
However, it was of no use, no matter how much Mu Yang cussed and scolded, the birds would still sing and chirp.
The sounds continued around the clock, even disrupting Mu Yang’s sleep. After several days, his head began to buzz; that was when he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and climbed up the tree with a roar. The servants below yelled for him to come down, but he turned a deaf ear to them.
That tree was a gift from Fu Sheng when Mu Yuan first settled in Chaoge. It is said that the tree was more than a hundred years old and had been growing in a temple. It was delivered to Mu Yuan's house, hoping to suppress the bloody hostility accumulated from the battlefield.
The evergreen tree was thick and tall, so Mu Yang climbed up very smoothly. After a while, he reached the bird's nest; there were still a few chicks crying in it.
Mu Yang remembered how badly he had been tortured these past few days. He gritted his teeth, knocked over the bird's nest with one fist, tore the rest of the bird's nest to pieces, and cursed, "This is what you f*cking get for being so annoying! "
One of the parent birds just so happened to come back, and witnessed its nests being overturned. Seeing that its young had fallen to death, it made two high-pitched calls, and flew straight towards Mu Yang.
Mu Yang was on the tree, so his movements were very limited and he had no time to dodge. He was pecked on the neck by the bird, which immediately started to bleed. Mu Yang screamed and waved his hand to swat the bird.
Mu Yang was no match at all against the bird’s agile movements, thus he was pecked several times. In a panic, he lost his balance and fell off the tree.
The servants below were scared out of their wits, and immediately reached out to catch him, but no one was successful. Fortunately, Mu Yang didn't climb very high, and he didn't suffer any serious injuries from the fall, except for his left upper appendix.
When Mu Yuan heard the news, he stopped training the soldiers, and hurried home. When he reached to Mu Yang's room, Mu Yuan saw that his son’s left arm was tightly wrapped, lying on the bed in a daze.
"Son! Why did you insist on climbing that tree?!" Mu Yuan immediately moved to the head of the bed, and said distressingly, "Like father like son they say; I also broke my left arm as a child, trying to grab their eggs."
Mu Yang explained weakly, "I didn't intend to steal bird eggs. I wanted to take their lives."
Mu Yuan replied, "It's the same thing. You should use your common sense, why did you personally go up there by yourself?"
Mu Yang let out a feeble sigh and started to cry. "I don't want to be alone at home. I miss Brother Xi, and I want to see Fu Zixian!"
Mu Yuan acquiesced to everything at that moment and promptly said, "Okay! Okay, I'll send the invitation to Fu Residence and request that he come over for you.
Mu Yang meekly added, "What about Brother Xi?"
"He's in Chang'an!" Mu Yuan exclaimed.
"...Wahh." Mu Yang started to wail again.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll go write a letter and have it sent to Chang'an immediately, I’ll make sure to invite Danli." Mu Yuan said, "You should rest well, if your left arm hurts, be sure to ask for some painkillers."
It was only then did Mu Yang nodded obediently. After a short while, he fell asleep.
After sleeping for a long time, he felt that someone came to his bedside. A sudden voice came from above, "How long has Young Master Mu slept?"
A servant replied, "It's been a little over two hours, the humble one will wake him up."
The voice replied, "No, let him sleep for a while longer."
Mu Yang gradually regained his consciousness. He quickly recognized whose voice it was, and immediately opened his eyes, "I'm not sleeping anymore! I'm already awake."
Then he saw Fu Zixian, who hadn't seen him for a long time, standing by his bed, looking at him with a smile.
Mu Yang's voice was still hoarse, so he refrained from talking. After seeing Fu Zixian, he struggled to get up while the servants beside him rushed to help him.
Fu Zixian said, "Young Master Mu should lie down and recuperate."
"What’s the point of resting?!" Mu Yang was very energetic, "I just fell on my arm, not my spine. I can sit up, there’s no problem."
As he spoke, he was supported by his servants to sit up. Once Mu Yang situated himself, he asked Fu Zixian, "Did you just arrive?"
Fu Zixian had a faint smile on his face, "I just arrived after receiving the invitation from General Mu. I didn't expect Young Master Mu to break his arm so suddenly. What happened?"
Mu Yang sighed, "It's a long story, if my opponent wasn’t so formidable, I wouldn't have lost my arm."
Fu Zixian remembered that Mu Yuan had stopped him before entering, informing him that Mu Yang broke his arm because he climbed a tree to look for bird eggs. After he fell, his self-esteem had suffered a big hit and was currently feeling very uncomfortable, so Fu Zixian immediately cooperated and said, "Young Master Mu, you are really amazing, I was lucky to have chanced upon Young Master Mu's skills during the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
One sentence made Mu Yang extremely happy, instantly forgetting how he had suffered a complete defeat with a cup back then. He laughed and said, "Let's not talk about that, now that we have finally united, let's practice archery together."
Fu Zixian paused, his face was still all smiles as his eyes fell on Mu Yang's left arm, which was wrapped with thick gauze. This bandaging would make it extremely difficult to even move his fingers.
However, Mu Yang didn't notice anything and called out to his servants, "Quick, quick, change my clothes!"
While lifting the quilt with his good hand, he excitedly said, "I got a good bow from Brother Xi some time ago, and I've always wanted to try it with you. It’s unfortunate to have been delayed until now."
Fu Zixian said, "Actually, there is no need to rush..."
"What do you mean?!" Mu Yang understood his underlying meaning, and immediately became impatient, "Do you know how difficult it is to meet you?! Your big brother is so vexing! The last time I went to look for you, he must have intercepted the news. It must be because I said some fierce words that the bastard went and tattled on me..."
Mu Yang scolded as he was helped to change clothes, and then said to Fu Zixian, "You have to go to the archery range with me today. You came here with an invitation card, this kind of opportunity is rare, don’t have me break my arm for nothing. "
Fu Zixian lightly replied, "But you don't seem quite able."
Mu Yang raised his eyebrow, "Why am I not abled?!"
Fu Zixian glanced at his arm again.
Only then did Mu Yang finally realize that his arm was broken and there was no way for him to practice archery.
He furrowed his brows and pursed his lips in frustration, "I'm really not abled."
"Young Master Mu, let's take care of your injuries first, there will be plenty of time in the future." Fu Zixian patted his shoulder lightly.
Mu Yang fell in a bad mood, "If it wasn't for my accident this time, I wouldn't have had the chance to see you."
Fu Zixian smiled and said nothing. He was well aware of the grievances between Fu and Mu Residence, hence he couldn't just blindly promise to come to Mu Yang frequently. He could only say, "Don't worry, if there is a chance, I will definitely find you."
Mu Yang had brushed up on his conversational skills and immediately retorted, "Who knows when there will be a chance, you don't have to say these words to comfort me."
Fu Zixian smiled helplessly, just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Mu Yang suddenly grabbed his wrist and said, "Wait..."
"What's wrong?"
Mu Yang said, "Why do I feel that something’s amiss."
He looked Fu Zixian up and down, and then said, "How did you get so tall?"
Fu Zixian was stunned. He seldom paid attention to these types of things, it was only when Mu Yang pointed it out, did he also notice the difference.
Fu Zixian used to be half a head shorter than Mu Yang. Every time they conversed, he had to raise his head slightly, but now he can look at him face to face without tilting his head.
Fu Zixian was at a sprouting age, so after a few days without meeting, he was already on the same height as Mu Yang. This fact made Mu Yang very unhappy.
