Ruan Shengpeng is lacking in handling family matters, but he is also an excellent soldier. He only got the needle pricked because he trusted his daughter so much!
Now, looking at his situation, he knew something was wrong. Those people were such good detectives, yet they couldn't find him, and his daughter was about to make him dizzy again.
There must be something strange about that place! It's good that something's strange, as long as everyone is safe!
"I don't know how you managed to evade their pursuit. If that place is safe, you can let me continue sleeping; I don't mind!"
These words made Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu exchange a glance. Ruan Shengpeng was indeed not very suitable to be in the yard. Those people could enter the yard in just a few seconds.
No matter how fast they are, they can't outrun those people. It seems like they've left, but they're secretly lurking outside the courtyard. Who can stop them?
But it's also not good for someone to be unconscious for a long time! So what should be done?
Just as the two teenagers were struggling with their dilemma, Ruan Shengpeng offered his opinion: "If you don't want me to see that place, I can cover my eyes. Anyway, I'm injured, so I'll just take it as a rest!"
That's possible. After the space is upgraded, there is actually a small room with a bed and a chair. Before, Yao Tongjia would put people to sleep in the room, and now she'll let her scumbag father live there.
They'll lock the door with a key, keeping Ruan Shengpeng inside and preventing him from seeing what's happening outside—perfect!
Yao Tongjia went back to her room, took a red silk scarf, and handed it to Ruan Shengpeng: "Blindfold yourself. You can't take it off unless I tell you to!"
Ruan Shengpeng took a silk scarf and blindfolded himself, demonstrating his cooperation through his actions. He wanted to have a safe place to stay and not implicate his daughter.
Of course he would cooperate unconditionally!
Yao Tongjia led Ruan Shengpeng and Xiao Gengwu into the space. Xiao Gengwu took Ruan Shengpeng and put him in the room, which was a small room.
But though small, it has everything you need. Inside, there's a makeshift toilet with just enough room to turn around, and a bucket—perfect for when you need to relieve yourself.
Xiao Gengwu thoughtfully brought over a water bottle filled with water: "You still have a fever, remember to drink plenty of water. If you need anything, just shout loudly, no one can hear you, don't worry!"
Yao Tongjia put away the things that didn't fit the era: "After I lock the door, you can take off your scarf, and I'll bring you food!"
What could Ruan Shengpeng do? He could only agree, though he was actually annoyed that this kid could come and go from this territory on his own while he was blindfolded.
But these were conditions he had promised his daughter, and no matter how unhappy he was, he had to abide by them.
Once I gain my daughter's approval, I'll persuade her to dump this guy!
Xiao Gengwu: "..." He hasn't even gained recognition yet, and he's already thinking about the future!
Hearing the sound of the door being locked, Ruan Shengpeng pulled down his silk scarf, revealing a small, square room with a single bed, a stool, and a bedside table.
There's a bucket around the corner; I guess that's for relieving yourself when you need to.
The door was closed, and the window was a bit high. If he climbed up, he could see outside, but he wouldn't do something so tasteless.
Ruan Shengpeng lay down on the bed and smiled bitterly: Was he being held captive by his daughter? Well, that's it. He'd just have to keep a low profile and not cause any trouble for his daughter!
After sending Ruan Shengpeng inside, Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu immediately went out. They couldn't be absent when others came in, otherwise there would be endless trouble.
The two were reading together on the kang (a heated brick bed) when they suddenly heard a soft rustling sound. Xiao Gengwu immediately lay down, and Yao Tongjia placed a towel on his forehead.
Outside the room were two furtive figures. Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu exchanged a glance. Sure enough, they were still unwilling to give up. Since it was the same people as before, there was nothing to be afraid of!
They came looking for someone, and left when they didn't find the person!
Sure enough, they searched again, looking through their doors repeatedly, and finding no one else, they reluctantly left.
Yao Tongjia read for another half hour, then, realizing no one was coming, went back to sleep!
The next day, as soon as she woke up, she went to check on Ruan Shengpeng in her space and touched his forehead. Ruan Shengpeng knew as soon as Yao Tongjia arrived.
He was grinning foolishly at his daughter, asking, "What time is it?"
Yao Tongjia was marveling at her scumbag father's physical fitness. Sure enough, his body, after training, was in top form. The fever from that long wound had subsided so quickly!
"It's six o'clock now. You should be fine. I'll give you acupuncture for the next couple of days to consolidate the effect. I'll go out and cook for you!"
Ruan Shengpeng hadn't even finished being happy about his daughter's concern when he suddenly heard the sound of the door being locked. His mood suddenly plummeted, as if he were being guarded against a thief.
Ruan Shengpeng couldn't help but recall his past, wondering how he had ended up in a situation where his wife didn't want him and his children didn't trust him.
He grew up in a military camp, so you could say he learned to run before he learned to walk.
Before he could speak, he learned to clap. Whenever he saw his father's soldiers fighting excitingly, he would applaud without reservation.
In his mind, his mother was just his mother. His father often told him that his mother had a very hard life and that she worked very hard, but that it wasn't that she didn't love him!
I hoped that he would be filial to his mother and love his sister when he grew up, and he always did so, always believing that his mother and sister had no bad intentions!
I never imagined that their wickedness was hidden deep within them, sending their wives and children here to suffer while they themselves lived a life of luxury with the money they earned.
It seems I was too lenient with my mother and sister; the lesson I learned last time was too lenient. But how can I win back my wife and children?
Ruan Shengpeng was filled with regret, wondering if A Xu would acknowledge him. Yao Tongjia came out of the courtyard and found that Xiao Gengwu was already cooking porridge and frying eggs.
The courtyard was filled with the aroma of eggs. Seeing Yao Tongjia, someone asked, "Has your fever gone down?"
"A soldier's physique is no joke; his physical condition is truly excellent! By the way, are you still running a fever?"
"The burning sensation has stopped. The burning sensation caused by stimulating acupoints won't last long; it's just a charade!"
"Luckily you have a good memory, otherwise I wouldn't have known about this method. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to get the medicine and would have just gone for acupuncture!"
"His wound is so deep and long, of course medicine will help him heal faster, otherwise even several acupuncture sessions might not be enough to bring down the fever!"
"By the way, when we came here before, we didn't say how many days we were going to stay. Now that we're staying here, should we send a message to my mom and the others?"
"I've made arrangements. I've already sent the village chief to deliver a message! Given the current situation, to avoid arousing suspicion, we must stay here for several days!"
