Some say that the life of cannon fodder is like a candle, burning itself to light the way for others.
As the most outstanding graduate of the Myriad Worlds Battlefield, Feng Wu was entrusted ...
Chapter 104 The Best Mother-in-law's Handbook 26
In the blink of an eye, the hot summer was over, and Feng Wu's discomfort disappeared instantly, and his appetite returned to normal. This made Ji Changsheng, who had been worried for more than a month, completely relieved.
During that month, he was so worried about his hair falling out that he had to find different ways to prepare food for his wife.
He had consulted several doctors, but none of them could find anything wrong with her. Fortunately, it was all a false alarm, and his wife was visibly healthy again. He was so happy that he wanted to run around the village three times in his arms.
That day, Feng Wu was on his way to the soap workshop when he saw Jin Bao, his sister and other children from the village gathering by the pond and fishing for river shrimps with willow branches.
Several children were pushing and shoving each other, and Feng Wu was frightened. The water in this wild pond was quite deep. If one was not careful...
Just as he was thinking this, Feng Wu saw the three-year-old girl in his family being pushed into the river.
In a flash, Feng Wu remembered that Zhu Erlang's little girl fell into the pond and drowned.
Is it today?
Jinbao watched his sister fall into the river and jumped into the pond in a daze. At this moment, he had only one thought in mind, which was to save his sister.
Grandma said that he was the eldest brother and should protect and take care of his younger sister. He promised Grandma, and since he had promised, as a man, he should not go back on his word.
Eight-year-old Jinbao only knew how to doggy paddle. As soon as he hugged his sister, she grabbed his neck tightly. He had difficulty breathing, his hands and feet were out of control, and he seemed to be sinking...
With a sigh, Feng Wu pushed the children away from the pond to prevent another one from falling in. She took off her embroidered shoes and dived into the water.
After searching in the water for a while, the two little guys were still struggling together. Seeing that he was still moving, Feng Wu breathed a sigh of relief, swam to them, grabbed the two babies, and carried them on his shoulders so that the two children could breathe fresh oxygen as soon as possible.
The two children were so scared that they hugged Feng Wu's head and started crying loudly, shouting non-stop.
"Grandma, wuwuwuwawawa... Why did you come just now? I was so scared. I thought I would die like the puppy. Wuwuwu... I don't want to die. I haven't even married yet. Wuwuwu..."
Feng Wu: "..." His hair hasn't even grown out yet, and he's already thinking about getting married. I wonder what Zhu Erlang and his wife taught their children?
"Okay, stop crying. I'll give you some snacks later. Jinbao did a good job today and knows how to protect his sister."
Jinbao, with snot still hanging down his face, smiled immediately upon hearing his grandma's praise, patting his chest loudly, "I'm a man, I can protect my sister!"
Ji Changsheng was counting inventory in the workshop when he heard a worker say that the second son's two children fell into the water. He was shocked and listened carefully. He heard that his wife jumped into the pond to save them. His mind went blank and he didn't care about anything else. He pushed the people away and ran towards the pond like crazy.
Seeing that the pond was already surrounded by people, his vision went dark and he almost fell down. Only when he ran closer did he hear Xiong Xiaolan's crying voice.
He could no longer hear what the man said. When Ji Changsheng pushed through the crowd, his eyes had turned completely bloodshot. When he saw Feng Wu wrapped in the thin blanket that Xiong Xiaolan brought from home, he was so scared that he took a deep breath.
It turned out that when he was running all the way here, he was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.
Seeing the main character coming, Xiong Xiaolan rolled her eyes at Feng Wu in anger and said, "Your eldest daughter is here. Do you think you can show off your abilities again?"
After saying that, he urged everyone, "Feng Niang is fine now. Everyone go do what you need to do and stop gathering around." Ji Changsheng walked silently to Feng Wu's side, without saying anything, picked her up and patted Feng Wu on the buttocks twice.
Feng Wu was a little confused. In her entire life, even her own mother had never spanked her.
Ji Changsheng knew that he was extremely angry, but he couldn't bear to really do anything to her. Before his wife felt any pain, he became anxious as well. His hands were shaking as he held her, and tears rolled down his face as soon as he blinked.
"Little Phoenix, you are trying to kill me!"
When Feng Wu heard this, her heart ached and her eyes turned red. She hugged the man's neck tightly and smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry for making you worry. Although I can guarantee my own safety, I'm still sorry, Changsheng, don't be angry with Little Phoenix, okay?"
It was rare for Feng Wu to act so softly and coquettishly, and Ji Changsheng felt very happy about it, but he didn't intend to let her go so easily. If there was danger next time, he would still rush to the front. He didn't ask for anything, but only wanted the person in his arms to be safe and happy.
There were still villagers surrounding them, so Ji Changsheng didn't want to get too close to his wife. He hugged her tightly and said to Xiong Xiaolan, "Sister-in-law, please help me send the two children back."
"Well, it's not a big deal. Take Feng Niang home first and don't let her catch a cold. I'll change the children's wet clothes and bring them back to you later." Xiong Xiaolan's home happened to be not far from here, otherwise she would not have been able to bring a quilt to cover Feng Niang's wet clothes in time.
Although I am married and have children, I still have to avoid some taboos.
Ji Changsheng thanked him slowly, then almost ran back home carrying the person in his arms.
He carried the man into the kitchen and immediately lit the fire with a flint. The fire in the stove gradually became hot. Feng Wu watched the man busy fetching water and boiling water.
Afraid that Feng Wu was cold, he would squat down from time to time to touch her hands. When he found that her hands were warm, he would breathe a sigh of relief. Although he was angry in his heart, his wife's obedient appearance made him want to kiss her.
After taking a hot bath, her husband carried her back to the room and refused to let her get out of bed. It was only when Xiong Xiaolan and Xu Lamei came to see her that she was willing to leave for a while.
But the man didn't go far. He would walk around the door from time to time. When he saw that the person was still there, he would walk away with an embarrassed expression when the three people stared at him.
Xu Lamei couldn't help but burst out laughing, tears streaming down her face. Xiong Xiaolan couldn't help but laugh too, patting Feng Wu's arm in annoyance, "Your accident scared your man half to death, luckily!"
Xu Lamei was also frightened and said with emotion: "Fortunately, you are fine!"
Feng Wu patted the two little sisters' hands soothingly without saying anything extra.
Ji Changsheng was holding a little kid in each hand at this moment, his expression unprecedentedly serious and indifferent. He asked the two children to stand in the main hall and reflect on their mistakes facing the wall for half an hour.
Zhu Erlang and his wife are one cunning and the other lazy and greedy, but the child is innocent after all. Before he grows up astray, he must be taught a good lesson.
Ji Changsheng felt depressed, and for the first time he understood how important the little phoenix was to him. He touched his heart, which was still filled with fear, and it seemed that there was some deeper fear hidden there.
He couldn't bear even a little of the despair he had felt before, and he didn't have the courage to reveal the answer to the deeper fear.
The more he got along with Little Phoenix, the more he realized that he seemed to exist just for her. So what had happened between them to make him so desperate and fearful?
For the first time, Ji Changsheng asked himself: Ji Changsheng, who are you?
