"Master! How's Xiaojie?"
Seeing Liu Ximu coming out of the house, Ningxia asked hurriedly.
Liu Ximu shook his head. "The injuries are too severe. There's also some infection on his back. Most importantly, I don't know if there's anything wrong with the wound on his forehead. I'm not a professional doctor, so I can only give him a rough treatment. As long as he wakes up, everything will be fine."
Ningxia frowned. She had dragged him back from such a long distance, but she didn't want him to die here.
"Do you have the medicine pot and the pot for frying herbs at home? I'll boil some medicine for him."
"There! The stairwell on the right side of the corridor is all inside. Just go in and find it." Ningxia pointed in a direction.
Qingtian in her arms looked at her and then at Liu Ximu, and then he stretched out his finger and pointed, moaning non-stop.
Ningxia pinched her face in amusement. The little girl had a really good temper. No matter what you did to her, she wouldn't cry. Unless she was hungry or fussing over sleep, no wonder Mu Yuanqing always said her Qingtian was an angel baby.
"Ningxia! Are your bed sheets in the cabinet? I opened it!" Mu Yuanqing's voice came from inside the house.
Ningxia craned her neck and replied, "Yes! Find him a velvety one! Be careful not to let him get cold!"
"knew!"
Ningxia laughed. How could she have known she had this kind of personality? She had thought she was some strong, overbearing woman who didn't care about her cheating husband.
"Phew~ That kid has a great physique. I have to be careful not to touch his wounds. It's exhausting."
Ningxia temporarily put aside her worries and joked with her, "You've taken advantage of me a lot, haven't you?"
Mu Yuanqing raised his water cup and took a sip. "Tsk~ You're right, you're right. You may be young, but your muscles are nothing to joke with."
"Go away. Here, bring your angel Qingtian over here."
"Forget about being lazy. I haven't even asked you yet, what's wrong with this kid? How did he end up like this?"
Ningxia sighed softly, "They came out to chase away wild animals, ran into a pack of wolves, and got separated from the main group. It's just him and Lao Liao. Lao Liao was also seriously injured, and I don't know how he is now."
"How many years has Lao Liao been in the coalition? You rushed back overnight to save a wounded person, let alone him."
Ningxia nodded, "That's right."
"Dinner is ready!" Sangsang came out from the kitchen carrying dishes.
"Okay, stop moving." Mu Yuanqing stuffed Liu Qingtian back into Ningxia's arms and stood up to help fiddle with it.
After eating two big bowls of rice, Ningxia Gaojie's physical strength was finally replenished again.
Lin Yi cleared the table consciously, and Sangsang also changed her usual laziness and asked Lin Yi to busy himself with wiping the table and washing dishes.
Ningxia was worried, so she got up and went to the master bedroom to check on Xiaojie.
The boy's breathing had become much steadier. His fever had not completely subsided, but he was much better than before. Liu Ximu forced him to drink the medicine, but he seemed to be conscious and swallowed it obediently when the medicine was placed in front of his mouth.
Ningxia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. After making sure that the temperature in the room was not too low, she added two more pieces of firewood into the fire bucket before leaving.
She leaned back on the sofa and soon passed out.
"Shh." Mu Yuanqing gestured to Sangsang.
Everyone in the room was silent, not wanting to disturb her.
Lin Yi got up and went to the children's room, pulled out a blanket, stretched it out, and covered her with it. He then took off her shoes and put them under the blanket. Even though she was so alert, she didn't react at all and continued to sleep soundly.
"Xixi, untie that pile of stuff and see how it works. We'll do it for her. We won't be able to go back for a day or two anyway." Mu Yuanqing said in a low voice, pointing to the wall materials in the corner.
Understanding Mu Yuanqing's meaning, Lin Yi said, "Thank you, Aunt Qing."
Mu Yuanqing smiled at him gently, "You're welcome. I owed you Sister Xia Xia in my previous life."
Hearing Mu Yuanqing's joking tone, Lin Yi didn't take it to heart and lowered his head and smiled slightly.
Qingtian wanted to scream, but her mouth was blocked by Mu Yuanqing's bottle of warm milk powder. The little girl got up too early in the morning and played all morning, so she fell asleep obediently with the bottle in her hands.
Mu Yuanqing pushed the person into Ningxia's bed, then squatted down and started studying with Liu Ximu.
"Is this thing so simple?"
"Well, mix the two together in proportion, apply a layer of paste, then cover it with the cloth inside and apply another layer of paste and bake it dry. All the tools are complete inside."
"Let me see. After testing, it's completely harmless to the human body! Let's get it ready for Ningxia and give it a try. If it works, we'll replace it next year. Sunny days are too few, so it's better for her to keep it warm at home."
Besides, isn't it written above? It can also block out a certain amount of high temperature, making it easier to endure during the scorching sun month."
Liu Ximu nodded. He promised to work harder and once Qingtian's cleft lip and palate was cured, he would cover all the rooms in the house with this wall material to make life easier for the mother and son.
"Lin Yi, are you sure your sister is staying in the master bedroom?"
Lin Yi nodded affirmatively.
"That's fine, it's harmless anyway. Let's go in and do it quietly so as not to disturb the patients inside."
Unexpectedly, when I entered the master bedroom, I saw two people lying on the bed. I don’t know when that little girl Sangsang ran in and slept next to Xiaojie.
The two of them were facing each other very close, and she even knew to pull the quilt over herself.
Xiaojie stretched his hand out from under the quilt and placed it beside the pillow, holding Sangsang's slightly chubby little hand.
Mu Yuanqing and Lin Yi looked at each other. Has Xiaojie... woken up?
"Forget it, let her sleep." Mu Yuanqing stopped Lin Yi who was about to call Sangsang.
Lin Yi pursed his lips and stepped back, his eyes full of unhappiness. He followed Mu Yuanqing and the other man against the wall in silence.
When Ningxia woke up, it was already dark and the lights in the room were dazzling. She sat up in a daze, her hair to her neck tangled together, like a bird's nest on her head.
"How's Xiaojie?" She opened her mouth and found her throat was extremely dry, and her voice was a little out of tune.
Lin Yi quickly handed her a cup of warm water. Ningxia took it and drank it down in one gulp before she came to her senses.
Mu Yuanqing stood up and said, "You finally woke up. If you don't wake up soon, I will ask Xixi to give you two injections. Xiaojie woke up once, drank a big bowl of chicken soup and fell asleep again."
Ningxia nodded in relief.
"Yes."
Ningxia took the big bowl handed to her by Mu Yuanqing, and looked at the two golden poached eggs floating on the chicken soup in the bowl, still a little confused. Oh yes, Sangsang and Lin Yi loved it. She had forgotten that she had exchanged a hundred eggs this time.
"Have you all eaten yet?"
Lin Yi nodded and said, "We've eaten. Aunt Qing and Uncle Mu have also finished plastering the walls in the bedroom."
Ningxia quickly swallowed the egg in her mouth, "Really?" Her eyes were full of surprise.
"Well, the temperature in the bedroom has risen a lot, and the fire barrel has been moved away. However, we will still have to use the fire barrel to cool it down later." Liu Ximu said.
"Let me take a look." Ningxia put down the bowl and walked towards the bedroom.
"Go after you finish eating!" Mu Yuanqing was so worried.
Ningxia turned around, picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, "I'm done!"
Mu Yuanqing rolled his eyes at her anxious back.
