Li Xiuxiu's face was already flushed, but thinking about what had happened before that was even more embarrassing, she steeled herself and nodded to Wei Mo.
Wei Mo gently wiped Li Xiuxiu's body, removing all the dried blood.
Then he checked Li Xiuxiu's wound again, which had been covered with a layer of ointment that Wei Mo had made that afternoon.
Li Xiuxiu also drank the herbal medicine prepared by Wei Ma, but the pain relief wore off as the medicine wore off.
Li Xiuxiu's legs also started to hurt, and she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Wei Mo looked at Li Xiuxiu, who was enduring pain, sighed, sat up, and said to her,
"Aunt Xiuxiu, let's play a game for a while."
In fact, it's best to avoid using anesthetics in traditional Chinese medicine because they can numb your nerves and potentially cause harm to the body.
So Wei Mo thought of diverting Aunt Xiu Xiu's mind so that she wouldn't feel so much pain.
But now that it was dark, Wei Mo kept thinking about what game to play.
Li Xiuxiu looked at Wei Mo, who was still by her side, and said softly,
"Little brat, lie down, let's chat for a while."
Wei Mo obediently lay down next to Li Xiuxiu, feeling a pang of heartache as he looked at her pale face.
The two talked for a long time. Although Wei Mo's claim of being the Dragon King was a fabricated lie, he still told Li Xiuxiu about some of the functions and effects of the Dragon King. Li Xiuxiu nodded in agreement.
She thought Wei Mo was really amazing now. As they chatted, drowsiness came over them, and the two eventually fell asleep.
Life gradually returned to normalcy, and Wei Mo rarely went out to play, spending his days by Li Xiuxiu's side in the house.
However, as time went by, medicinal herbs became increasingly scarce, so Wei Mo had to ask his grandfather to go to the town hospital again to buy some herbs.
These past few days, Li Xiuxiu's legs have been incredibly itchy, as her bones are healing and her wounds are recovering. She can't help but want to scratch them, but Wei Mo sternly stops her.
"Aunt Xiuxiu, don't scratch them, it will affect their recovery. They are growing slowly now, they will be fine in a few days."
However, Li Xiuxiu was in unbearable pain, so Wei Mo had no choice but to gently bandage her injured area with gauze to prevent her from touching the wound and affecting its recovery.
The family has returned to peace, and Li Xiuxiu has been recuperating from her injuries. Now, more than half a month has passed, and her wounds are healing quite well.
Wei Mo looked at Li Xiuxiu, who was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) and could no longer stay still, and said,
"Aunt Xiuxiu, don't worry, in at most another half month, you'll be able to get out of bed."
Although it is said that it takes 100 days to recover from a broken bone, Wei Mo's technique has greatly shortened that time.
"Thanks, little brat!"
Li Xiuxiu thanked Wei Mo very sincerely. Now their relationship was even more complicated. It could be said that, apart from not having consummated their marriage, they were even closer than husband and wife.
Li Xiuxiu is now inconvenient to do things, and is being taken care of by little kids.
Some people's husbands might not even be able to act like little kids, and little kids don't look down on them, even Li Xiuxiu herself is a little disgusted with herself.
Looking at the plump and healthy baby she had taken care of, Li Xiuxiu now genuinely liked Wei Mo and wanted to marry him, but the two were separated by a bridge.
That bridge represents the age gap, and Li Xiuxiu sighs every time she thinks about it.
The old man in the family has been very happy these past two days because he has been preparing gifts for the girls, and now he can finally take them out.
This was something he promised when he received money to have the three girls become his goddaughters. Now, almost a month has passed, and the old man is still acting mysteriously, not telling anyone.
During dinner that evening, the old man solemnly took out a small box, pulled out five hairpins, and handed them to Wang Zhenhua and the other four people.
One for each person, including Li Xiuxiu, who was also given one. The old man personally delivered it to Li Xiuxiu, who was lying in Wei Mo's room.
Then the old village chief slowly spoke.
"I don't have much to give you as godfather. The checks are strict now, so try not to take it out. Keep it as a treasure in your closet and wear it when you get married."
Wang Zhenhua and the others stood up and bowed to the old man in gratitude. This was considered a very generous gift, according to Wei Mo.
This gold is incredibly valuable, since gold is exactly what I need most.
Wei Mo watched with drooling eyes, while Wang Zhenhua and the others kept thanking the old man and Grandma Yu.
"Thank you, godfather. Thank you, godmother."
"Godfather, you're so kind,"
"Godmother, you are so kind."
With everyone expressing their gratitude, the old man happily invited everyone to start eating.
"Alright, alright, everyone, let's eat. We're family, no need for all these thanks."
Wei Mo was extremely envious. He thought to himself that he only received a small silver bracelet as a birthday gift, but his goddaughter received a gold hairpin.
Ugh! I'm so envious! And Wei Xiaohui and Wei Xiaomin's birthdays are coming up soon; I bet it'll be gold again.
The old man must have been prepared for this all along; he always thought he was the one who was favored at home! Unfortunately, now Wei Mo can only cry in secret.
After returning to their room that evening, Wei Mo helped Li Xiuxiu lie down and said,
"Aunt Xiuxiu, what do you think we should do with that wild boar?"
Wei Mo just checked; the wild boar is still inside the backpack, and it's still fresh, meaning the backpack must have a preservation function.
Li Xiuxiu had long forgotten about this matter, and asked in confusion,
"What wild boar?"
Seeing Li Xiuxiu's surprised expression, he smiled and said to her.
"That's the bad wild boar that hit you and I killed it."
Li Xiuxiu suddenly realized what was going on and asked Wei Mo,
"Is that wild boar still alive?"
Wei Mo shook his head. Li Xiuxiu continued to ask,
"Are you planning to take it out and let everyone eat it?"
Wei Mo now hides almost no secrets from Li Xiuxiu, except for attributing everything to the Dragon King.
The relationship between the two is no longer the same as before. Although they are still as close as before, Li Xiuxiu has long regarded Wei Mo as her husband.
Wei Mo scratched his head and looked at Li Xiuxiu, who was staring at him.
"I want to take it out and let everyone eat it, Aunt Xiuxiu, what do you think we should do?"
Li Xiuxiu would naturally try her best to hide Wei Mo's secret, so she frowned and began to think of a way to help Wei Mo.
The two of them thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. Just then, Wei's mother knocked on the door and came in.
Seeing her son in Li Xiuxiu's arms, Wei's mother was speechless. Her son was already six years old, which was seven years old, and he was practically a little adult.
But he's always clinging to Li Xiuxiu, which leaves Wei's mother feeling helpless. She jokingly remarked...
"Xiuxiu, why don't you become my daughter-in-law? Look how much Wei Mo likes you!"
