Yan Xi woke up in a daze. Two splints were already tied on his legs, and the scratches on his body were also rubbed with ointment. It felt cool and very comfortable.
Uncle Chen, who came in with a bowl of black medicine, was delighted to see him wake up. "Xiao Mu, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"
Yan Xi was slightly stunned when she found out it was him, "Uncle Chen, have you always been taking care of me?"
"Yes." Uncle Chen looked at him worriedly. "Yesterday, you were covered in blood, your leg was broken, and you were sweating profusely. You were seriously injured. You had a high fever in the middle of the night and kept talking nonsense, saying things like 'Don't you want me anymore? Don't abandon me.' Did you dream about your grandmother, father, and mother?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xi's eyes dimmed, and he did not refute.
Uncle Chen sighed, feeling a little distressed. "Come, drink this bowl of medicine. Then take a rest. Your aunt and I will take care of the rice. You don't need to worry about it."
"Well, thank you Uncle Chen." Yan Xi looked at the bowl of medicine, smelled the unpleasant yet familiar smell, recalled the scenes in his dream, closed his eyes, and drank it all in one gulp.
The medicine was finished, but there was no candied fruit.
Maybe, it really is gone.
After experiencing so many worlds and getting used to drinking such bitter medicine, I am still afraid of bitterness. It's really funny.
Uncle Chen took the bowl, patted his shoulder, and said solemnly, "Xiao Mu, there is something I didn't want to tell you, but I think you have the right to know, so I'll tell you."
"What's the matter?" His tone was not right, and Yan Xi's heart instantly tightened.
Suddenly, thinking that he had not seen Mu Beichen for so long since he woke up, and Uncle Chen was here, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Uncle Chen fixed his gaze on his left leg, his tone heavy, "The doctor came to check on your leg last night. He said it's severely fractured, and there's a chance... you'll be like this for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
A lame leg is a small matter, but the mission is big. Even if he has a lame leg, he will still be healthy in the next world. If something happens to the male protagonist, he will be finished.
"Well, thank you Uncle Chen for telling me this. When I fell from such a high place yesterday and hit the big rock, I knew that my leg was probably broken. Fortunately, I still have another leg that is fine. It doesn't affect my work. I just need to use a crutch. It's no big deal." Yan Xi's relaxed and optimistic tone made Uncle Chen tremble all over.
He really couldn't believe that Xiao Mu had such an open-minded vision and mind at such a young age.
If someone else knew that their leg was lame, they would definitely be sad for a while and become very depressed. They would not be as indifferent as he was.
Uncle Chen couldn't help but change his opinion of Xiao Mu and appreciate him from the inside out.
Before, he was worried that Xiao Mu's sudden diligence was just a flash in the pan. Now it seems that Xiao Mu has completely changed after experiencing the death of his grandmother and being abandoned by his parents. No matter what difficulties he encounters in the future, he will be able to overcome them successfully on his own.
Yan Xi suddenly said, "By the way, Uncle Chen, can I ask you something?"
"What's the matter? Tell me." Uncle Chen looked at him seriously.
"Where is Beichen? He's the... monster you guys are talking about. Why can't I see him?" Yan Xi looked around but couldn't even see his shadow.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen froze and his face turned cold. "I don't know. I've told you before, he's an ominous person. Anyone who comes into contact with him either dies or becomes disabled for life. If you become like that, how can I believe what you said to me before?"
Yan Xi immediately ignored the pain and sat up straight, "Uncle Chen, do you mean that you drove him away?"
Uncle Chen glanced at him, turned slightly, and snorted coldly: "If he doesn't want to leave, I can't drive him away."
Yan Xi's expression changed, and he immediately moved his body, took the wooden stick at the head of the bed, and tried to support himself up. "Uncle Chen, this was all my carelessness. I was worried that I didn't have enough manpower to thresh rice and bring it home overnight, so I accidentally broke my leg while walking at night. It has nothing to do with him."
Uncle Chen, upon seeing his attitude, quickly stopped him. "Xiao Mu, what are you doing? Are you going to look for him? You're seriously injured. The doctor said if you rest well, you still have a 10% chance of recovery. If you continue to toss and turn at this critical moment, you'll lose all that 10% chance. That's why I won't let you go out!"
"I know!" Yan Xi spoke loudly, his expression a little cold. "Uncle Chen, I know you care about me, but this matter has nothing to do with him. I believe in him. Regardless of whether my legs have a chance to recover in the future, I will go out and find him, because... this is very important to me. So, Uncle Chen, I beg you, let me go out and find him. I will bear all the consequences alone."
At the end of his speech, his eyes were a little moist.
He must complete this mission successfully and go to the next world to find him.
He didn't want to believe that the man just disappeared like that.
Uncle Chen realized that he was about to cry and was a little at a loss for what to do.
Yan Xi took advantage of the opportunity and hurriedly limped out with his crutches.
