Wei Min picked up the bowl that Sun had placed on the stool and fed the medicine to A'ruan with a spoon.
Ah Ruan closed his lips and clenched his teeth, unwilling to drink even a single sip.
His body was so hot that it burned people. He frowned uncomfortably, and occasionally a few moans came out of his throat.
Wei Min sat by the bed for a while holding the medicine bowl, then suddenly stood up and left, as if he remembered something.
Wei Lian had already returned and had just returned the donkey cart. At this time, she was sitting in the main room talking with Sun. When she saw Wei Min coming out of the room, she immediately stood up and greeted him, "How is it? Did you take the medicine?"
Wei Min shook his head, "I'm afraid he can't eat now." Without giving Wei Lian and Sun a chance to ask again, he said, "Sister, do you have any white wine at home?"
"White wine?" Wei Lian thought for a moment, then immediately realized what was going on and said, "Yes."
Normally, she would take out this liquor and drink a sip or two when she was tired occasionally, but "there is not much liquor at home, I don't know if it is enough for you."
Wei Min said, "Try using it first, and if it's not enough, go buy some more."
After the wine was brought, Wei Min poured it into the basin he usually used to wash his face. There was indeed not much liquor, just enough to cover the bottom of the basin, and it was almost gone after soaking the towel.
Wei Min unbuttoned A Ruan's shirt and saw at first glance that his fair and tender body was covered with traces of his lovemaking that night, especially at the base of his legs...
She had done quite a lot the night before, and the different shades of color haven't completely faded away yet.
Looking at A'ruan, whose body was covered with kiss marks and whose breathing was weak, Wei Min couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He just felt that his chest was blocked and he could hardly breathe. He wanted to slap himself in the face.
Ruan had a low-grade fever yesterday morning, probably because I squeezed him too much.
A'ruan was thin and weak, and he asked too much from himself, which made him suffer from a low-grade fever due to lack of energy.
Normally, if Wei Min touched A'ruan's white, tender and delicate skin, she would definitely not be able to resist. But now she didn't dare to think about anything. She just took the towel and gently wiped A'ruan's body, carefully avoiding the chest and back, and mainly wiped his forehead, palms, soles of feet and armpits.
After wiping for more than half an hour, Wei Min stopped when he saw that A Ruan's frown had relaxed a little.
After wrapping A'ruan in a quilt, Wei Min picked up the bowl of medicine that had already gone cold.
She took a sip first, and felt a mixture of sour, numb, bitter and sweet tastes in her mouth, an indescribable strange taste that was unpalatable.
Wei Min lowered his head and gently pursed the corner of A Ruan's mouth, coaxing him to open his mouth. The tip of his tongue slid between his lips, pried open his lips, rolled them into his mouth and sucked gently.
Wei Min kissed A'ruan while observing his expression.
Ah Ruan felt very uncomfortable, her brows were furrowed, and when she felt a foreign object entering her mouth, she subconsciously resisted and pushed it away, pressing her tongue against hers, trying to drive the object out of her mouth.
A patient's patience and strength cannot compare to Wei Min's. After a while, A Ruan got tired and gave up resisting as if to compromise, allowing Wei Min to hook his tongue.
Wei Min drank a mouthful of the medicine himself and then lowered his head to feed A'ruan a mouthful. Except for the two mouthfuls he spit out at the beginning, he swallowed the rest obediently.
As long as you can drink the medicine, there is a possibility of reducing the fever.
Wei Min calculated the time and wiped A'ruan's body with white wine every once in a while. There was not enough liquor, so he asked Wei Lian to get some back.
Wei Min wiped A'ruan's body over and over again and did not eat a single bite from morning to night. Wei Lian tried to persuade her, but seeing that she didn't listen, she didn't say anything more.
He drank the medicine twice and applied white wine countless times, but the temperature of Aruan's body still did not go down.
If the fever doesn't subside tonight, I'm afraid I won't make it to tomorrow morning...
It was already late at night and Wei Liansun had already gone home. The room was eerily quiet. Wei Min was sitting alone on the edge of the bed, holding a towel soaked in white wine in his hand. His head was lowered as if it weighed a thousand pounds, his back was hunched like an old man in his twilight years, and his eyelids were drooping so that no expression could be seen in his eyes.
It was unknown how long it had been before Wei Min moved, but he covered his eyes with one hand to block the moisture in his eyes.
At this moment, A Ruan on the bed let out a painful groan from her throat, and curled up into a ball, drawing Wei Min's attention back.
"Why didn't the high fever kill you? Why are you so tough?"
"Your parents don't want you. It's my Zhang family who raised you up. You are my Zhang family's dog. You have to go wherever you are told to go."
"A dumb woman who can't get married is worth more than you even if she sells a beast."
"It's better to burn a mute to death, so as not to waste food rations."
“…”
A Ruan felt like he was standing in an empty valley, and the voices of the Zhang family kept echoing in his ears, over and over again.
He also remembered that when he was a child, he had a high fever and finally got through it, but he saw the looks in the Zhang family's eyes, and they wished he would die.
A Ruan stood there in a daze and helpless. After hearing these voices so many times, even he himself began to wonder if he should not be alive.
The sounds in the valley grew louder and harsher, making A Ruan want to escape.
He covered his ears and ran outside. After running for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw an exit.
There was a winding path at the exit. The road was filled with smoke and the end was not visible, but two figures, one black and one white, could be seen standing by the road. Their faces could not be seen clearly, but their voices could be heard. "Come here, come here and you will get rid of those voices. Come here and you will never have to see the Zhang family again..."
A Ruan was tempted. Just as she was about to lift her foot, she suddenly felt something pulling at her chest, causing severe pain.
Is there anything else he can't let go of?
A Ruan touched his chest. What else had he forgotten? Why couldn't he remember it all of a sudden? Who did he forget?
"Ah Ruan."
Unlike the Zhang family's voices that rang in A'ruan's ears without warning and instantly drowned out the rest of the noise, the valley suddenly became quiet.
A Ruan stood there in a daze, hesitating between the sound and the path in front of him.
The voice called A'ruan for a while, its voice was extremely gentle and lingering, but also carried an indescribable sense of depression, and each voice became lower and lower.
A Ruan's heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe.
But the pain only lasted for a moment, and the voice calling him gradually disappeared, and A Ruan's ears were filled with the Zhang family's insults again.
The two people on the path waved at him, urging him to come over quickly.
A Ruan no longer hesitated and walked towards the two men.
Wei Min sat on the bed, half-holding A'ruan in his arms, burying his face in his hair, calling A'ruan again and again.
At this time, Ah Ruan had already raised one of his feet. As long as he put it down, he could step on the path and get rid of the pain...
Wei Min didn't know why, but he suddenly felt more and more uneasy. He tightly wrapped his arms around the person in his arms, and his voice was trembling. "We've only been married for less than half a year, don't you want me anymore?"
Ah Ruan's eyes moved slightly under his tightly closed eyelids...
In the dream, A Ruan was even more stunned, and the lost memories slowly returned with these words. He remembered that he got married and his wife was very kind to him. She helped him get rid of the Zhang family and said she would protect her for the rest of her life.
He still remembered that he had promised to make dumplings for her when she came back next month.
How could he forget his wife?
What would she do if he left?
When Ah Ruan thought of Wei Min, he withdrew his foot without hesitation, raised his head and glanced at the path he had almost stepped on. He was so frightened that he staggered back several steps and woke up.
The path was paved with white bones and red flowers. The two people standing on the side of the road were the Black and White Impermanence holding hooks and shackles. When the breeze blew, the smoke on the road gradually dissipated, revealing the three black and red characters "Gate of Hell" at the end of the road...
This is not a way to escape from pain at all, but a road to hell!
"Aruan?" Wei Min called out again when he felt the person in his arms tremble violently. He saw Aruan trying hard to open his eyes halfway and struggling to look at her.
After confirming that the person next to him was her, he fell asleep in her arms again, and his breathing became steady.
Wei Min sat on the bed at a loss. When he saw A'ruan wake up, his heart inexplicably calmed down.
Her hands were shaking with excitement. She slowly lay down while holding A'ruan in her arms, and pulled the quilt over them both.
Summer nights are already hot, not to mention that I have A'ruan, whose body temperature is so warm, in my arms?
But even so, Wei Min was reluctant to let go. He held the person in his arms tightly, as if he couldn't feel the heat.
In the middle of the night, A Ruan was sweating all over, and his shirt was soaked with sweat.
Wei Min reached out and touched him, then he let out a long sigh of relief and closed his sore eyes exhausted.
After a day and a night, the fever finally subsided.
The author has something to say: Small theater
A Ruan: What am I to you? =v=
Wei Min: (Thinking for a moment) You are my hot water bottle, so hot that it scares me to death.
Ah Ruan: ememem......_(:зゝ∠)_
