Chapter 81 The Familiar Recipe, the Familiar Smell
"Mom, you can't blame me. It's my fault for already washing up while you haven't."
“You can’t just sleep with Third Brother like that, it’s bad for his wounds, right, Second Sister?” Lin Wenqian pulled Lin Luoxi out to take the blame.
“Mother, what eldest brother said makes sense. Besides, eldest brother is a boy, so it’s most suitable for him to sleep with third brother.” Lin Luoxi immediately stood up to speak for him after seeing Lin Wenqian give her a look.
“I’m a man too, it’s perfectly fine for me to sleep with my own son,” Lin Dayou said, stepping forward after hearing Lin Luoxi’s explanation.
"Hehe, Dad, I won't say anything more about you. Our room is so far away from yours, we can hear you snoring. If you sleep with Third Brother, I'm afraid he'll wake up with dark circles under his eyes tomorrow." Lin Wenqian retorted to Lin Dayou without any politeness.
After his defeat, Lin Dayou could only reluctantly shut his mouth.
Lin Wentao was surprised to see his family vying to sleep with him, but he was very happy.
Is this what the old folks mean when they say that surviving a great calamity brings good fortune? After being injured, his family loves him even more.
Whatever the reason, Lin Wentao really likes the current atmosphere at home.
He was open to anyone who wanted to sleep with him.
In the end, Lin Wenqian still slept with Lin Wentao.
The reason Lin Wenqian insisted on sleeping with Lin Wentao was to tell Lin Wentao about the current situation at home and, incidentally, to brainwash him.
"What's that smell?" Having already decided that Lin Wenqian would sleep with Lin Wentao, everyone was about to leave the room when they smelled a sudden, pungent, and sour odor.
"Could it be that a dead rat died in the room?!" Lin Wangshi, Lin Dayou, and Lin Luoning were almost vomiting from the smell, and they tried their best to find the source of the stench in Lin Wentao's room.
Lin Wentao also smelled that scent, and felt as if it was constantly lingering around him, making his just-clear mind begin to feel drowsy.
Only Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian were very familiar with this flavor, since it had appeared before.
Lin Wenqian looked up and glanced at the calm Lin Luoxi. He even quietly moved closer to Lin Luoxi, thinking it was the scent emanating from her.
Lin Luoxi lowered her eyes guiltily, thinking: Oh no, it seems I gave Lin Wentao too much spiritual dew spring water. He must be expelling impurities.
Seeing Lin Wenqian approach, he immediately whispered, "Big brother, quickly give third brother a bath. He must have been lying down for too long; he smells a bit."
Lin Wenqian, who was secretly sniffing Lin Luoxi's scent, immediately stopped what he was doing when he heard Lin Luoxi's voice.
Oh right, how come he didn't think of that?
To verify Lin Luoxi's words, Lin Wenqian pretended to approach Lin Wentao's bedside unintentionally.
Upon smelling that familiar aroma, Lin Wenqian instantly turned pale.
"Father, Mother, Third Brother just woke up. Go and get him some hot water. Tonight, give him a good bath and change him into new clothes as a celebration of his recovery."
Seeing that Lin Wangshi and Lin Dayou were still searching for the source of the stench, Lin Wenqian quickly sent the two away.
"Brother, do I smell bad?" Lin Wentao was quick-witted and immediately realized that the problem lay with him.
"Hmm! It must be because it's been hot these past few days, and you've been lying in bed without moving around, that's why you smell like this. Once you get up and move around tomorrow, the smell will naturally be gone."
Lin Wenqian was afraid of hurting Lin Wentao's pride, so he thought of many excuses, but Lin Wentao's words silenced him completely.
"Big brother, you just said you were going to wear new clothes, and I have new clothes to wear..." She looked at Lin Wenqian with bright eyes, not caring at all whether he smelled bad or smelled good.
His eyes swept over Lin Wenqian, Lin Luoxi, and Lin Luoning, and he noticed that all three of them were wearing brand new clothes without any patches. He was so excited that he almost got up on his own.
"Uh, it's true." Having prepared so many excuses, none of them came in handy. Lin Wenqian could only nod helplessly, as Lin Wentao's focus was far from ordinary.
"Then I want to take a shower right now!" Overwhelmed with excitement, Lin Wentao, who had been pushed back onto the bed by Lin Luoxi, began to look forward to it.
"Alright, brat, you really are..." Lin Dayou, who came in from outside, was overheard by some people who didn't know what to say.
All I could do was bring in the large, round wooden tub that had been sitting empty for a long time, so Lin Wentao could use it for a bath later.
Madam Lin also brought in hot water, smiling as she looked at Lin Wentao, who had already woken up. Her brows, which had been furrowed for many days, finally relaxed the moment Lin Wentao woke up.
Lin Dayou noticed that Lin Wangshi's eyes were fixed on Lin Wentao, so he took the bucket from her hand and poured hot water into it.
He turned and left again, leaving Lin Wangshi to guard Lin Wentao in the room.
Lin Wentao needed to take a shower, and it wasn't appropriate for Lin Luoxi and Lin Luoning, two girls, to be present, so he went back to his room first.
"Second sister, you're amazing! Third brother really woke up!" Lin Luoning, lying on the bed, looked at Lin Luoxi, who was lying beside her, with admiration.
"What's so great about that? Your second sister will even get us a new bed later," Lin Luoxi promised, lying on the bed covered with straw.
Looking at the moonlight streaming through the roof, Lin Luoxi's desire to eat rice gradually grew.
Fortunately, it hasn't rained these past few days; otherwise, if it's pouring rain outside, it'll be drizzling inside.
"Yes, I believe Second Sister can definitely do it." Lin Luoning unconditionally believed Lin Luoxi's words.
"You're so sweet-talking. Go to sleep now. Kids won't grow tall if they don't go to bed early." Lin Luoxi was determined to make sure that all her older brother, younger brother, and younger sister could read.
"Okay, goodnight, sister." Before Lin Luoning could finish speaking, her eyelids had already slowly closed.
"I wonder what this little girl has been busy with all day, she's fallen asleep so quickly." Lin Luoxi chuckled as she heard the rhythmic breathing beside her.
He took out a calming sachet he had made himself from under the pillow, placed it next to Lin Luoning's head, and only after confirming that Lin Luoning was really asleep did he feel at ease entering the space.
"This pig seems to have grown a lot." Lin Luoxi looked at the wild boar roaming in the corner of the open space and estimated that it should weigh about 300 pounds!
If she remembers correctly, it weighed only about 100 pounds when she was put in, and it has grown this big in just a few days.
Her eyes darted around, and she remembered that Lin Wentao had woken up and needed to replenish his body, in addition to the promise she had made to Doctor Yang to have meat with every meal.
She probably won't be able to go hunting in the mountains every day from now on.
Lin Luoxi looked at the fat pig and revealed a calculating smile.
