Just then, Ahri's door opened.

Hongqing glanced over casually and his gaze fell on the figure who had just stepped out of the door. He was somewhat lost in thought.

This person has changed. If she was a mimosa before, she is now a blooming flower with an indescribable beauty.

Her light pink dress was light and flowing, swaying gently with her steps, causing ripples to spread across his heart.

Hongqing silently withdrew his gaze; this woman was already a married woman.

When Lin Wenqing saw Ali come out, he went over to her, helped her up, and said, "These clothes suit you very well, why did you put them away?"

Ali said, "It's inconvenient to do chores normally, and these clothes are too eye-catching."

"I'll do it from now on, you don't need to do it."

Lin Wenqing also looked at Ali's hair, where there was only a wooden hairpin holding her hair in place.

Ah Li's eyes were filled with emotion. She said, "Working together makes the work easier. I will help too."

Lin Wenqing took Ali's hand and said, "Let's go get something to eat."

"Um."

Old Man Lin returned with the herbs and noticed that Ah Li had changed. He said, "She looks better dressed like this."

Ah Li smiled somewhat embarrassedly. Old Man Lin didn't look at Ah Li anymore. Instead, he took out the herbs in his hand, crushed them, and said, "These herbs I picked are very useful for your knife wounds."

These words were spoken to Hongqing.

Lin Wenqing brought Ali over and asked, "Is it worse again?"

"Hmm, we're running out of hemostatic drugs."

For reasons unknown, Hongqing took off his clothes in front of Lin Wenqing, revealing his wound.

The moment Ah Li saw his movement, she turned around and said, "I'm going to the kitchen."

Old Man Lin held the herbs in his hand and looked at Hongqing. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the man's expression and that he wasn't looking at Ali, he thought that the man was overthinking things.

"Come on, Wenqing, help me apply this herbal medicine to him."

Old Man Lin asked Lin Wenqing to help Hongqing apply the medicine. Hongqing then looked at Ali's figure and became shy.

In the kitchen, Ali ladled out a bowl of porridge. She stared at the white porridge and also took a steamed bun.

She admitted that she had been lusting after Lin Wenqing's body last night.

Why couldn't she eat the person before anything happened?

That way, the baby can come sooner.

Ah Li touched her belly; Lin Wenqing was actually a pretty good person.

After eating the porridge, Ah Li continued embroidering the handkerchief.

Lin Wenqing tidied up the room and the yard, and even served tea and water to Ali, just in case Ali got tired.

Old Man Lin was weaving straw sandals in the yard, while Hongqing was lying in the house.

This feeling of peace and tranquility is wonderful.

When the sun was high in the sky, Old Man Lin put down the straw sandals he was weaving and said to Lin Wenqing, who was sitting next to Ali, "I set up a few traps on the mountain this morning. Come up with me and see if any prey has fallen into them. We can also catch a pheasant to nourish Ali."

Lin Wenqing put away his palm-leaf fan and said to Ali, "Dad and I are going up the mountain. Don't sit for too long. Get up and move around more."

"Okay, then you and Dad should go slower."

Lin Wenqing stood up and said, "Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

Ali put down the handkerchief she was embroidering halfway through, stood up, and watched Lin Wenqing and Old Man Lin go out together.

After Lin Wenqing and Old Man Lin left, Ali closed the courtyard gate and wanted to continue embroidering the handkerchief when she suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground coming from Hongqing's room.

Ah Li rushed over and immediately noticed that Hong Qing had fallen to the ground and was looking up at her weakly.

"Are you... are you alright? I'll go and call Wenqing back."

After saying this, Ah Li turned around, opened the courtyard gate, and ran outside.

Hongqing was still wondering, was he a monster?

He just has a slight fever.

Actually, what Ah Li was thinking was that Hong Qing was a big man, and she was a weak woman; how could she possibly carry him?

Ali knew which road Old Man Lin and Lin Wenqing would take, and she quickly caught up with Lin Wenqing because they weren't walking very fast either.

When Ahri caught up with them, she said anxiously, "Wait, that person fell as soon as you went out. You should go back and check on him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wenqing became anxious. This person couldn't be allowed to get into trouble in the village. He said, "Then you and Dad go back slowly. I'll go back and check first."

"good."

Ah Li watched Lin Wenqing run back, still slightly out of breath herself.

Old Man Lin said, "Actually, if you had shouted just now, Wenqing and I could have heard you. You didn't need to run over."

Ah Li said, "I... forgot, Dad. How about I go up the mountain with you?"

"Alright."

Old Man Lin felt that Hongqing looked respectable, but for some reason, he didn't want Ah Li to have much contact with him because the man seemed to be quite cunning.

So, Ali and Old Man Lin went up the mountain.

When Lin Wenqing returned home, she found that Hongqing had a fever.

Hongqing also said to Lin Wenqing, "Your wife saw me fall, but she didn't even come to help me up. She just stood at the door, glanced at me, and then went to find you. Did I look that fierce?"

Lin Wenqing laughed and said, "You know she's my wife. There's a difference between men and women. It's right that she didn't help you."

Hongqing looked up at Lin Wenqing, feeling a bit annoyed by the person in front of him. "Go, go find me a doctor. I don't want to die here."

"good."

Lin Wenqing helped Hongqing to bed and then went to find a doctor.

He also noticed that Old Man Lin and Ali hadn't returned, so he guessed that they must have gone up the mountain.

Hongqing lay in bed, drowsily wondering what he would do if that woman had come in earlier. Would he pretend to be weak and lean on her, or would he wait until he saw Lin Wenqing and say to him, "Your wife is so rude. She came into my room when you weren't home."

As Hongqing thought about it, he smiled.

Not long after, Lin Wenqing returned with the village doctor. The doctor examined Hongqing, prescribed some medicine, and said that some of the medicine was not enough and that he would have to go to the mountain to collect it.

Lin Wenqing wrote everything down. He sent the doctor back and brought back medicine with him.

Hongqing's lips were dry, and his throat was hoarse as he called out, "Lin Wenqing, pour me a bowl of water first."

The sound was like a duck quacking.

When Old Man Lin and Ali returned, they were startled by the sound. In just a short while, this person had become so ill.

When Lin Wenqing saw that Ali and Old Man Lin had returned, he also noticed that Old Man Lin had a few pheasants in his hand. He replied, "Coming soon."

At this moment, Old Man Lin secretly said to Ali, "Go back to your room and don't go over there to see, lest you catch the illness. Don't let Lin Wenqing come into the room tonight either. Let him stay in the same room with that person first to save trouble."

"good."

Ah Li responded and carried a basket of embroidery thread back into the house.

Old Man Lin glanced at Lin Wenqing, who was giving the man water. He called out, "I'll go kill the chicken. We'll have chicken soup later."
