Chapter 49 What I Did Last Night
...
This morning, it was drizzling when I got up, so I couldn't set up my stall. Instead, I stayed home to feed the chickens and grow some vegetables.
The rain continued until dark, and the yard was full of mud, making it impossible to walk.
Ye Wan emerged from the space and suddenly felt agitated.
"Mother, it sounds like someone is opening the door outside," came Daya's voice from next door.
Er Ya's voice was trembling with tears, "Could they be bandits?"
I've heard that bandits have been coming down from the mountains one after another lately, but I don't know if it's true or not.
"Don't speak, just hide yourselves." After saying that, Ye Wan picked up a sickle from the doorway and lit the candles in the room.
Once the light is on, people outside should know there's someone there, and even if they want to come in, they'll come to her room first.
Da da—
Light footsteps came from outside. Ye Wan hid by the door and swung her scythe the moment the person opened the door.
The man gripped the sickle tightly and let out a muffled groan.
"Lin Anyuan?" Ye Wan recognized who it was and hurriedly threw away her sickle.
"Where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back? You didn't even say a word when you came back. You could have at least knocked on the door or called out! Are you hurt?"
Her heart was in her throat, thinking someone was trying to do something bad while it was raining.
"I took care of some things. How's everything at home?" Lin Anyuan was soaked to the bone, and his voice was low and hoarse.
"Okay, all is well."
Thank you.
"There's nothing to thank me for. It's just about what I told you last time. Let's rent a courtyard in town. It's really inconvenient for us to live here since you have no one else to go with..."
As Ye Wan was speaking, the person in front of her suddenly fell headfirst towards her.
"Lin Anyuan?"
Ye Wan caught the man and was thrown into her arms. Only then did she realize that he smelled of blood and was burning hot.
"Lin Anyuan, wake up?"
With great effort, Ye Wan helped the man onto the kang (a heated brick bed), patted his face, but he didn't react at all.
"Father! Father!"
"Dad, wake up!"
Big Sister, Second Sister, and Third Sister from the next room all came.
Ye Wan said, "Stop howling, the person isn't dead yet, they probably just got a fever from being in the rain."
"I'll go fetch a doctor."
As Da Ya was about to leave, Ye Wan stopped her.
"It's dark and raining now, where are you going to get a doctor? Go to the kitchen and boil some water. Er Ya, take San Ya to the room to sleep, don't make trouble here."
“But my father…” Er Ya tried to speak, but Da Ya pulled her out.
Ye Wan helped Lin Anyuan take off his soaking wet outer clothes, and seeing that his inner clothes were also wet, she gritted her teeth and stripped him naked.
That's when I noticed a finger-length gash on my thigh, which was still bleeding.
Before Da Ya came in, Ye Wan used the spiritual spring water to clean his wounds and bandaged them. Hearing Da Ya's movements, she quickly covered him with a blanket.
Daya brought in hot water. "Mom, there's still some wild ginger at home. I'll go and boil some ginger soup."
"We don't need the ginger soup right now, you should go back and rest. I'll keep an eye on things." Ye Wan's ears were burning; she had seen something she shouldn't have, she was worried she'd get a sty.
It wasn't that she wanted to see it, but the big rat was just too obvious.
Who said Lin Anyuan wasn't good enough? Even by those standards, he shouldn't be.
Da Ya went out.
Ye Wan's own clothes were also wet, so she quickly changed into a set of undergarments and fed Lin Anyuan some spiritual spring water.
When Ye Wan wiped Lin Anyuan's body with hot water, her whole body turned red. Fortunately, he was not awake, and she would dress him in a while.
After cleaning up her sweat, Ye Wan went back to her space to take a shower before coming out. Looking at Lin Anyuan on the kang, she muttered all the way, "You're lucky to have met me. Otherwise, you would have become an idiot after the fever subsided."
"mother……"
Hearing Lin Anyuan seemingly speaking, Ye Wan leaned closer, "What did you say?"
She was suddenly hugged tightly, crying, "Mother! Mother!"
"Who's your mother? Let go!" Ye Wan was so angry that she tried to push him, but she couldn't move him.
The person holding her hugged her even tighter.
The rain outside was still drizzling, but it was warm and cozy inside.
...
...
Ye Wan dreamed that she was walking in the woods when she was entangled by a vine, which made it hard for her to breathe. Suddenly, the vine turned into a man.
Startled, Ye Wan opened her eyes, their eyes met, and she let out a scream.
"ah--"
"Mom, are you alright?" Da Ya's voice came from next door.
Coming to her senses, Ye Wan hurriedly said, "I'm... I'm fine! Go to the kitchen, don't come in!"
"You beast! What did you do to me last night?"
The person sitting on the kang stared at that excessively handsome face and looked at Ye Wan with an innocent expression.
For a moment, Ye Wan felt as if she had ruined an innocent boy.
Then, feeling rather unwell, he said, "No, shouldn't I be the one asking that? Lin Anyuan, what's wrong with you so early in the morning?"
"Really? Then where are my clothes? You took off my clothes and you still say you didn't have any ill intentions towards me?" Lin Anyuan pulled the blanket, which barely covered his private parts.
Ye Wan's temper flared up immediately. "Lin Anyuan, have some shame! I was just trying to bandage your wound, and you wouldn't let go of me, and kept calling me 'Mom.' If I wasn't afraid you'd burn yourself silly, I would have kicked you to the ground."
Shameless! He called her "Mom" for half the night, not because he felt sorry for him, but she still knocked him unconscious.
"There's no need to strip me naked. You still say you have no feelings for me, but you're just saying that."
Lin Anyuan suddenly leaned closer, a smile in his eyes, and said, "Besides, are you willing to do that?"
"What did you say?" A handsome face loomed large in front of her, and Ye Wan's mind went blank for a moment. "What would I be willing to give up?"
"You're willing to kick me to the ground?"
Perhaps because of the fever last night, his voice sounded somewhat coquettish.
This is insane!
Ye Wan blushed instantly to the roots of her ears. "What do I have to be reluctant about? Don't flatter yourself."
Lin Anyuan chuckled softly, "Then why are you blushing?"
"Hurry up and get dressed! You pervert!"
Ye Wan blushed even more, got off the kang (heated brick bed), put on her shoes, and ran to the kitchen.
"Sanya, stop feeding the chickens. You'll stuff them to death if you keep feeding them."
Ye Wan's voice, which was trying to cover up her true feelings, came from the kitchen.
Lin Anyuan couldn't help but laugh again. He lifted the blanket, looked at his own restless member, and quickly put on his clothes.
Looking at the sunlight outside the window, a hint of hostility flashed in Lin Anyuan's eyes.
Those people are still determined to steal from him and are still looking for him!
It's a pity the people they sent weren't very skilled; they were just there to die.
"Mom, when can we eat meat?" Sanya looked longingly at the chickens in the cage.
Last night it rained, so Yewan put the chicken coop in the kitchen to shelter from the rain, but now it's been moved to the yard.
"Sanya's craving meat? Shall we buy some when we go to town today?" Ye Wan asked as she packed her things.
"I want to drink chicken soup. My godmother says chicken soup is delicious." Sanya wanted to suck her hand, but then remembered that her mother said sucking her hand was dirty, so she quickly put it down.
Ye Wan called out from the courtyard, "Lin Anyuan, if you're free, come with me to town today. People say I'm a widow, so it'll be good for them to see that I have a man too."
"Am I your man?"
Lin Anyuan stood at the doorway, his handsome eyes subtly smiling.
