Chapter 232: 232 Woke up
She scooped a bowl of porridge and carried it into the master bedroom, sitting by the bed.
She glanced at her second brother and Yuchuan.
She decided to feed her second brother first.
She put the bowl on the bed, pried open her second brother’s mouth, and spooned some porridge into it, intending to continue feeding if he swallowed, and if he didn’t, she’d give up.
Previously, she had fed her second brother medicine by mouth, because he had to take it. But it wasn’t essential for him to eat porridge now. At worst, he could eat when he woke up; going hungry for a day or two wouldn’t kill him.
Unexpectedly, her second brother swallowed the porridge in his sleep, and gradually, she finished feeding him the bowl of porridge.
She went back to the kitchen and scooped another bowl of porridge, pried open Xiao Yuchuan’s mouth, and spooned in a mouthful, but he didn’t cooperate and didn’t swallow.
After trying a few times, the porridge just spilled out of his mouth, and she carried the porridge bowl back to the kitchen.
She wiped his mouth with a towel, and after some thought, turned the towel to the other side and wiped her second brother’s mouth as well, so she could save washing an extra towel. She took the towel back to the kitchen and washed it before hanging it behind the door. She extinguished the stove fire and went back to sleep on the bed in the master bedroom.
With all this bustling, it was already three in the midnight, and she had been busy picking medicine during the daytime, making her so tired that she could hardly keep her eyes open.
Leaning on the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Xiao Yishan woke up and opened his eyes, seeing the yellowish-black ceiling of their home. Gradually, he reacted. Slowly, his deep pupils shone with joy—he hadn’t died, which was wonderful!
Listening to the breathing sounds in his ears, the very light breath on the right was so familiar… In recent days, he had been listening to it every night—it was his wife’s breath. The slightly heavier breath on the left must be his third brother’s.
He looked to his right and saw his wife lying on the bed more than a meter away.
However, she wasn’t covered by a quilt but lying on her side with her delicate body and clothing. This posture made her buttocks appear even more rounded and waist incredibly slender.
A thought crossed his mind: how he wanted to hold her in his arms, but he feared she would reject him. He tried to get up to cover her with the quilt but found he was numb and powerless, unable to control his hands and feet, and didn’t even have the strength to hold the quilt.
He felt a dull pain in his numb left leg. He clearly knew that his left leg had been broken. He had no strength to raise his head, but he could feel the splint fastened to his injured leg. Faint medicine smell came from the various wounds on his body caused by rolling down the hillside, and he knew his injury had been treated.
Now that he could wake up, although his body was numb, he knew the snake venom had been controlled.
He didn’t know who had saved him.
Was it Doctor Sun from the village, or… was it his wife?
He glanced to the left again and saw his third brother sleeping soundly. He had been unconscious yesterday and didn’t know that Xiao Yuchuan had also fainted.
There were two quilts in the room: one on him and the other on his third brother.
Xiao Yishan was deeply moved; his wife was so good to him and his third brother.
Having survived this disaster, he decided to treat his wife even better in the future.
At this moment, Xiao Yuchuan also opened his eyes. He tried to stretch his hand to yawn, but it took a few attempts to raise it. While he wasn’t as immobile as Xiao Yishan, he felt weak all over.
Recalling that his second brother had been bitten by a poisonous snake, he suddenly sat upright. Due to his lack of strength, the movement was very slow. After trying a few times and propping himself up with his hands, he barely managed to sit up. Turning his head, he saw his second brother was awake and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, “Second Brother, you are not dead….”
