Chapter 77 Brighter than the Sun
Ji Yunzhou's gaze stayed on Xia Wu's face. She looked extremely serious, her bright eyes staring at him solemnly. She pursed her lips, and the fine hairs on both sides of her cheeks were clearly visible, like the best peaches.
After just a moment, Xia Wu withdrew his hand.
"Well, how come you've lost so much weight?" She tucked the hair scattered around her ears behind her ears, and a strand of black hair hung down naturally, swaying like a vine as she moved.
Her body temperature still remained in Ji Yunzhou's palm, warm and dry, making his hands, where blood circulation was poor, feel the long-lost warmth.
He didn't say anything for a while. Xia Wu thought he minded and glanced at him secretly.
Ji Yunzhou lowered his eyelids, and no emotion could be seen in his eyes. He looked like a tree that could be easily broken, fragile and pitiful.
Xia Wu stood up, but couldn't help but bend down to look into his eyes.
"Ji Yunzhou, are you tired?"
Otherwise why don't you speak?
Ji Yunzhou curled his lips, feeling extremely weak: "No, I just lost weight because I couldn't eat. It will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Master Pu advised, "How can you not eat? Your body... can't afford to not eat. Why don't you come with me to the mountains and live for a while? I'll take good care of you."
The nurse quickly said, "No! Mr. Ji's physical condition is not suitable for movement. He needs to rest."
Ji Yunzhou smiled faintly, "No need, I'll go after I recover."
His voice was so soft, like the mist exhaled by the mountain elves in the morning, which disappeared without a trace as soon as the sun came out.
Xia Wu didn't dare speak too loudly next to him, for fear of disturbing him.
No matter how Mr. Pu tried to persuade him, Ji Yunzhou looked half dead. He didn't want to cause trouble for others, so he kept his distance and stayed away from them.
Not sure if the spiritual spring water would work on him, Xia Wu thought, I can't let the fortune boy and the lucky cat die accidentally. Even if Ji Yunzhou enjoys very good medical care, he doesn't eat and seems to be very resistant to rehabilitation. Doesn't this mean he has to stay in the white building every day?
How can we create economic value for her then?
Of course, this was just a small excuse Xia Wu made for herself. What she really wanted was that she couldn't bear to see Ji Yunzhou withering away day by day.
Everyone has only one life. It is unfortunate enough to encounter an accident in the middle of life. It would be such a pity if you become depressed and gradually give up your life because of it.
Xia Wu finally said, "How about this. From now on, I will send you some fresh vegetables and fruits from the village every day and ask them to cook them for you. If you eat healthier, you might get better soon."
The nurse interrupted: "Mr. Ji's daily food ingredients are all air-shipped from abroad."
Xia Wu scratched his head. "Is that so? But foreign products may not be good..."
She really wanted to complain that the rich people in China were really taken advantage of, including her in the past.
Everything has to be from abroad, including food and drinks, including famous brands, as if foreign products are superior.
Did you know that the vegetables she grows have the effect of spiritual springs?
Ji Yunzhou glanced over and the nurse who was about to say something suddenly fell silent.
"Will it be very troublesome for you?" he asked Xia Wu softly.
Xia Wu smiled and said, "It's not a problem. I forgot to tell you that I bought a bucket cart and I go to town to sell vegetables every day. It's just on my way, so it's not a problem at all."
"I'm telling you, you need to get well soon. The fruits and vegetables on my mountain are almost ripe. I'll take you for walks and get you out in nature. You'll be well again soon."
Ji Yunzhou's eyes never left her. He listened carefully and nodded.
"good."
"Ji Yunzhou, you have to get better soon!"
Xia Wu and Mr. Pu did not stay long. Ji Yunzhou's health could not support him meeting guests for a long time. The two left the white building and took a car back to the village. Mr. Pu said he would catch a few chickens and send them to Ji Yunzhou.
Xia Wu was also thinking about how to take care of Ji Yunzhou's health.
Lingquan water has certain effects on the human body, but the effects are not as obvious as its effects on plants.
When Xia Wu was at home, she often used the spiritual spring water to make tea and water for her family, and also used it for cooking. The weeds and vegetables near her home grew more lush than those in other places.
Yang Guojun thought it was the effect of his compost.
Although the spiritual spring water cannot take effect on people in a short period of time, the physical fitness of the Yang family has improved a lot after drinking it for a long time.
From last year to this year, the Yang family has not been sick, and they no longer suffer from back pain when working. In addition, they look younger.
This is good for Xia Wu, so that no one will suspect him.
But at the same time, if she wanted to use the spiritual spring water to help Ji Yunzhou recuperate, it would not be effective in one or two days.
This is a protracted war.
Help people to the end and see them off to the end.
Since Xia Wu had agreed to deliver food to Ji Yunzhou to help him recuperate, he took on the responsibility.
After returning home and telling her parents, Liu Guizhen also felt sorry for Ji Yunzhou.
What a handsome young man, what a good person, but he is in a wheelchair at such a young age and now he is sick and has no family to take care of him.
Liu Guizhen made buffalo milk buns herself, and Xia Wu picked the best and freshest vegetables early in the morning. After thinking about it, he also took a bottle of royal jelly from home.
From last year to this year, Xia Wu only took royal jelly once, and the amount was pitifully small, so she had no plans to sell it and kept it for her own consumption.
Mr. Yang drinks some royal jelly every day and practices a set of Ba Duan Jin. He sees his health getting better and better, and his complexion becoming more and more rosy.
It can be seen that taking supplements does have some effect.
To sell vegetables, Xia Wu had to go to the early market, so he got up at four or five o'clock to go up the mountain to pick vegetables. After a quick breakfast, the buffalo milk buns that Liu Guizhen made specially for Ji Yunzhou were ready.
Xia Wu took his brother and drove his beloved bucket truck and set off before the sun broke through the clouds.
She went to the White Building first, and when she heard that Ji Yunzhou was still asleep, she put her things down and left.
Before ten o'clock, Xia Wu had sold all the dishes for today. He wanted to go to Ji Yunzhou's place to check on the situation, but then he felt that he was going too frequently.
In the past few days, she has gained some customers by selling vegetables. Some of them run restaurants, and some of them cook for workers. They need to buy a large amount of vegetables every day, so Xia Wu can sell them all out soon after going to the market.
The cell phone suddenly rang, Xia Wu stopped the car on the side of the road and answered the call.
"Hello, how are you?"
A male voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "Is that Xia Xia? I'm Lu Yuan, do you still remember me?"
The image of Lu Yuan appeared in Xia Wu's mind. The last time Lu Yuan came to the village, he bought a lot of honey and agricultural products and everyone in the village praised him.
Moreover, this guy is an intelligence expert. He has set his sights on the villagers in his real estate business and added their contact information. He knows every little movement on Xiawu Mountain.
"Remember, Mr. Lu, have you finished the honey last time?"
"Oh, hahaha, I definitely wouldn't be willing to drink such a good thing myself, so I gave it away! And the response after I gave it away was very good. Thanks to you, I have recently negotiated two big deals." Lu Yuanren was in high spirits and his laughter sounded very hearty. After negotiating the two big deals, he got nearly 300,000 in commission alone. How could he not be happy?
"Xia Xia, do you have any honey left? If you do, I'd like to buy some. Also, I heard from the villagers that the loquats on your hill are almost ripe. Are you planning to make loquat jam? Or how about making loquat wine? I'd like to have some of both. I can give you a deposit first, and you can do whatever you want. What do you think?"
Lu Yuan finally told Xia Wu the purpose of his call, and she laughed. It was only the end of March, and it would take at least half a month for the loquats to ripen. How could Lu Yuan already know the news?
The loquat trees on the mountain are quite old. Before Xia Wu took over the mountain, the loquat trees were ignored and the fruits were not very good.
Since last winter, Xia Wu has been watering the loquat trees with spiritual spring water when they are leafing and flowering. Every time he goes to the top of the mountain, he never forgets to water the trees with spiritual spring water.
These loquat trees did not disappoint her. The leaves and nectar could be sold, and when the loquats were ripe, Xia Wu could make some money.
You don’t make much money just by selling loquats, and there are only a few loquat trees on the mountain. Even if you pick all the fruits and sell them, you won’t get a good price. It’s better to process them carefully to maximize the loquat’s effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs.
So Xia Wu had said before that loquats could be kept to make jam or wine, and not many people knew about it. Who knew how it would reach Lu Yuan's ears.
It doesn't matter who you sell it to, since Lu Yuan sincerely wants to buy it, Xia Wu agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan transferred 10,000 yuan to Xia Wu via WeChat as a deposit.
Xia Wu took the money, and her brother was still fiddling with his newly bought camera in the passenger seat.
This camera costs more than 20,000 yuan, and the accessories are sent from Hong Kong and Taiwan. The shooting function is very powerful.
Xia Wu thought about it and couldn't make up his mind: "Brother, do you think we should go see Ji Yunzhou?"
Yang Hongwen looked up at her, his eyes full of confusion. Who is Ji Yunzhou?
Except for a few close ones, Yang Hongwen can hardly remember anyone.
Even though he and Ji Yunzhou had met many times.
Xia Wu leaned against the car window, the wind outside ruffling her hair. She looked out and could see a little lake and a small white building from this position.
"We're friends, right? He's sick, and I promised to bring him some food. I should go over and say a few words to show my concern. What if he doesn't want to eat? Wouldn't that be a waste?"
Xia Wu also added some spiritual spring water when picking vegetables.
Although Yang Hongwen didn't understand, he nodded: "Sister, if you want to see it, go and see it!"
After her thoughts were exposed by her brother, Xia Wu smiled and started the car.
When did she become so sensitive and awkward? Just look if you want to, it's no big deal.
The noise of the bucket truck was quite loud, and it immediately attracted the attention of security when it stopped outside the white building.
Xia Wu entered the White Building unhindered and was greeted by the same nurse from yesterday.
"Is Ji Yunzhou awake?"
"Mr. Ji has woken up. Miss Xia, do you want to go up to see him?"
"My last name is Yang. Go up and ask him."
"Okay, Miss Yang. My husband told me when he woke up this morning that if Miss Yang comes, she can come upstairs anytime."
The nurse's attitude was much better today. Xia Wu was invited upstairs by her, and knocked on the door to enter Ji Yunzhou's room. Yang Hongwen was waiting downstairs.
The room was dark, and the light was turned on only when Xia Wu entered.
There was a rustling sound on the bed, and Ji Yunzhou woke up.
"Is it Xiao Wu?"
"It's me. I'm back from selling vegetables. How are you? Have you had breakfast?"
Xia Wu moved closer to Ji Yunzhou, tilted the bed himself, and sat up half-leaning.
He still looked half-dead.
"Tsk," Xia Wu approached him and tentatively touched Ji Yunzhou's forehead, "Your face seems a little red, do you have a fever?"
"I don't know." Ji Yunzhou was buried in the thick quilt, looking a little pitiful, with watery eyes. "It's not uncomfortable."
The nurse brought the forehead thermometer in time to measure Ji Yunzhou's temperature.
Xia Wu walked to the side and pulled open the curtains with excellent light-blocking effect. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows gave a panoramic view of the mountains and rivers. The sunlight was just right. After the natural light came in, Xia Wu felt that the yin energy in the room had disappeared.
Ji Yunzhou coughed softly behind him, and the nurse said, "Mr. Ji does not have a fever."
Xia Wu pulled her lips helplessly: "That means the blanket is too thick and it's too hot. It's not winter now, so there's no need to cover it so thickly, right?"
Ji Yunzhou looked at her with a faint smile on his face and said nothing.
The nurse wanted to say something but didn't dare to. The weather was not hot, but Ji Yunzhou was always used to covering himself with a thick blanket.
No matter how careful a person in a wheelchair is, he or she will inevitably have difficulty in moving and may make some embarrassing omissions in certain things.
Even if it is dealt with promptly, there will still be some smell on your body.
How could someone as strong as Ji Yunzhou let Xia Wu discover his weakness?
So last night, he asked the nurse to change his quilt to a thicker one.
"Shall we change the bed?" Xia Wu asked Ji Yunzhou.
"This way you'll be more comfortable. Do you want to get up and have lunch with me at noon? My brother and I came here together. Can we eat at your place?"
As soon as she finished asking, Ji Yunzhou nodded immediately, but a nod was not enough, and he said weakly: "Okay."
The nurse breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to change Ji Yunzhou's bedding.
"I brought some royal jelly. I'll make you some. Change first."
Xia Wu found an excuse to leave the room.
"Anna, I need to take a shower and clean the house."
Xia Wu found the things she brought in the kitchen refrigerator: steamed buns, vegetables, royal jelly, and the slaughtered chicken that Mr. Pu asked her to bring. She put them in different categories.
Xia Wu took out the royal jelly, brewed it, and added spiritual spring water while no one was around.
One cup for my brother and one cup to bring upstairs.
Ji Yunzhou changed into a set of silk pajamas and sat comfortably in a wheelchair. His long hair was still a little wet, wetting the clothes behind his neck.
He was so thin that his breathing seemed weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
Xia Wu handed the royal jelly over and said, "I just made it. Do you need me to feed it?"
Ji Yunzhou curled his lips and said softly, "I'm not that useless."
He held the cup with his slender fingers, without shaking it at all, brought it to his lips, and sipped slowly.
"Is it delicious?"
A strange light flashed in Ji Yunzhou's eyes, and he nodded without hesitation: "It tastes good."
Xia Wu breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as it tastes good, drink more. It's good for your body. At least it will make you less weak."
"Are you still feeling unwell? I asked my grandfather yesterday to see if he could give you some advice. You can't stay cooped up in your room all the time. Even if you're not sick, you'll get sick."
Xia Wu sat opposite Ji Yunzhou, holding one side of her face and talking incessantly.
She sat against the light, but she was brighter and warmer than the sunlight outside.
