Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Awakening
The next day, Yu Li still hadn't woken up, and Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
What reassured her was that Yu Li's complexion looked much better. Unlike when he was sent back yesterday, he was pale and as thin as paper, which made people instinctively afraid.
Zhou carefully wiped Yu Li's face and body, changed her into clean clothes, and gave her a body massage to prevent her from feeling stiff and uncomfortable from lying down for too long.
She had been so meticulous when taking care of Fu Wenxiao in the past. Even though Fu Wenxiao was lying down, he looked clean and refreshed.
This can be considered as taking care of someone in this way to gain experience, so when it was Yu Li's turn to take care of him, he was able to do it with ease.
Fu Wenxiao sat aside and watched.
When Zhou was wiping Yu Li's body and changing her clothes, he would turn away to avoid suspicion, but at other times he would watch carefully.
When Zhou brought the boiled medicine and was about to feed Yu Li, Fu Wenxiao took the initiative to take over the task.
"Xiao brother, can you do it?" Zhou looked at him suspiciously. She had never seen him taking care of anyone. Even if he took over in the beginning... it really made her worried.
Fu Wenxiao said: "I'll give it a try."
Zhou was very nervous. After thinking about something, she finally handed the bowl of medicine to him and watched from the side. If he couldn't do it, she would take over.
Unexpectedly, Fu Wenxiao did a great job.
He was very careful when feeding the medicine, not letting too much of it leak out and stain Yu Li's clothes.
It might be that the taste of the medicine was really strange. Even in his sleep, Yu Li frowned and instinctively wanted to spit out what was in his mouth.
Zhou felt helpless.
This child is really resistant to taking medicine. Every time I see Xiaoger's expression when he drinks medicine, I am shocked, as if Xiaoger is drinking something incomprehensible and terrible.
After he finished feeding her the medicine, Zhou said with emotion, "Xiao brother, no matter what you learn, you are always quick and good at it, even taking care of people."
There is no such thing as a man who is clumsy and can't take care of others. It all depends on whether the man is willing to learn.
Thinking of this, Zhou looked at Fu Wenxiao, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Fu Wenxiao smiled and said, "Mom, I'll take care of you here, don't worry, just go and do your thing."
Zhou was stunned for a moment, then looked at him in shock and opened her mouth.
"Xiao brother, you..."
Fu Wenxiao didn't say anything. Seeing beads of sweat on Yu Li's forehead, he wiped it with a handkerchief.
He sat there, even though he was sick, his posture was still straight, as proud as a green bamboo. The etiquette and upbringing of a noble son of an aristocratic family were already ingrained in his bones. No matter what situation he was in, he would not let his straight back bend.
Zhou felt uncomfortable again.
As she walked out with the bowl of medicine, she couldn't help but lower her head and wipe her eyes.
She took the initiative to find a wife for Xiao Ge'er to bring him good luck. When Yu Li first came into the family, she hoped that Xiao Ge'er would keep Yu Li, his wife, in his heart, thinking that having someone to accompany him would not make it too difficult for him to endure when he was sick and that he would live a life without regrets.
But when she found out that he really cared about her, she felt very uncomfortable.
If he is destined not to survive in the future and the two of them are destined not to be together, how regretful will he be?
Even if he dies, he will leave with a heart full of regrets...
**
Many people came to see Yu Li today.
There are not only Aunt Feng, people from the Zhou family next door, but also people from the Yu family.
Yu Laoer and his wife both came, and the sisters Yu Yin and Yu Jin took turns coming, leaving one person at home to look after Yu Zhu who had not yet woken up.
The Zhou family and the Zhou family are relatives and neighbors, so they naturally care about Yu Li.
Knowing that she still hadn't woken up today, Aunt Zhou had to say some comforting words to make Zhou feel better.
Zhou was surprised when she saw Yu Laoer and his wife coming over.
Ever since Yu Li married into the Fu family, the couple has never visited their home. Of course, there is a lot of work to do in the village and nothing important, so it is normal for them not to visit their son-in-law's home easily.
But what can she say about this couple? Looking at their previous behavior in the Yu family, Zhou always felt that they didn't care about their four daughters. If they really cared, would they let them be bullied like that?
These are a very unqualified and useless pair of parents.
Being their daughter is undoubtedly unfortunate.
Parents cannot choose what kind of children they will have. Likewise, how can children choose what kind of parents they will have?
Zhou received them politely.
No matter what, they are Yu Li's parents, and she still has to give them some face.
Facing Zhou, their mother-in-law, Yu Laoer and his wife felt very awkward. When they saw Fu Wenxiao, they didn't know where to put their hands.
This was the first time they met their son-in-law.
They didn't expect that their son-in-law would look like this, and he had nothing to do with the ugly rumors in the village.
The two men entered the room and saw Yu Li who was sleeping, feeling very upset.
The younger daughter in the family was still in a coma, but he didn't expect that something had happened to his eldest daughter. When he learned that something had happened to his eldest daughter, he couldn't believe it.
When I left yesterday morning, she looked fine, so how could she suddenly collapse?
Liu couldn't help but cover her face and cry.
After leaving the Fu family, she was still crying.
Yu Lao Er comforted her clumsily: "Don't cry, didn't your mother-in-law say that Li Niang looks much better today than yesterday? The doctor said she is just too tired. She will wake up after she has a good rest..."
Liu wiped her tears and said, "I'm not doing this..."
She spoke very softly, so softly that even Yu Laoer, who was standing next to her, could hardly hear it clearly.
Finally, she raised her head, stared blankly ahead, and said, "These past two days, I've been wondering if I did something wrong. Because I couldn't give birth to a son, my mother always scolded me for being a chicken that doesn't lay eggs. People in the village also said that I couldn't leave you a descendant, so you won't even have a son to break pots in the future... I feel guilty, and everything I do is inferior to others. I also made my daughters follow me and be inferior to others. They have to tolerate everything in the Yu family and suffer all kinds of grievances..."
"What did they do wrong?"
"They did nothing wrong. They just had the misfortune of having useless parents like us. We couldn't protect them, and instead brought them into this world to suffer..."
Yu Laoer stood there in a daze.
He stared blankly at Liu's dark, thin and painful face. She was no longer young, but he could still tell from her eyes and brows that she was young and graceful. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life.
When the old lady said she wanted to marry Liu to him, he agreed without hesitation.
He wanted to marry her.
Over the years, although they only had four daughters, he did not actually blame her. He only blamed himself for not being able to resist his parents and for not being able to let them live a good life.
Hearing her words at this moment, he suddenly felt panic in his heart.
Yu Lao Er said hurriedly: "No, no, you are right, it's me, it's me who is incompetent and can't protect you and your daughter..."
Liu didn't look at him. She stared blankly ahead, savoring the pain and regret in her heart.
Maybe she couldn't do this anymore.
**
Yu Yin and Yu Jin came to the Fu family to see Yu Li today and found that her complexion was better than yesterday. The two sisters were very happy.
It was almost noon when Zhou heard a knock on the door.
She went to open the door, and when she saw a tall, burly man with a big beard who looked like a bandit standing outside, Zhou was startled and her face turned pale.
Realizing that he had frightened someone, the butcher at the door quickly introduced himself: "You are Li Niang's mother-in-law, Aunt Zhou, right? I'm a hunter from the mountains, my last name is Tu, and I heard that Li Niang was in trouble, so I came to see her."
After learning his identity, the fear on Zhou's face was indeed much relieved.
She knew Boss Tu. It was he who introduced Yu Li to the job of butchering pigs. It was said that he took good care of her.
Although he looks like a bandit, he is actually a good person.
Zhou hurriedly invited him in and found that he was carrying a lot of things in his hands.
Boss Tu didn't go in. He stood at the door and asked, "Aunt Zhou, how is Li Niang? Is she awake?"
When Yu Li did not go to the county town yesterday morning, he knew that something must have happened to her. Otherwise, with her hardworking personality, she would definitely not be absent from work without any reason.
When he returned to the village, it was already too late. He did not dare to go to the Fu family to find her for fear of scaring people, so he went to ask the head of the village and learned about the sisters Yu Li and Yu Zhu.
Boss Tu suddenly became extremely anxious.
Yu Li was Young Master Xuan's savior. If anything happened to her, Young Master Xuan would definitely blame himself for not taking good care of his savior.
Zhou said, "She hasn't woken up yet. Maybe she's too tired and needs to sleep a little longer."
She didn't want to believe from the bottom of her heart that Yu Li would remain in a coma and firmly believed that she would wake up after getting enough sleep.
Even if I am worried in my heart, I always say this.
Boss Tu breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was worrying to see Yu Li in such a coma, the doctor had said so, so he should be fine, right?
Although he wanted to go into the room to see Yu Li, he was a grown man after all, and his relationship with the Fu family was not that good, so it was not appropriate for him to enter the couple's room.
After Boss Tu learned about Yu Li's situation, he handed the things he brought to Zhou and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he said, "Aunt Zhou, if Li Niang has any problem, just send someone to the mountain to tell me, and I will come right over. By the way, I brought some supplements for Li Niang, so that she can take good care of herself. I think she has been weak in the past, so she needs to take good care of herself."
Just looking at Yu Li’s skinny appearance, you can tell that he suffered a lot of losses in the past.
Zhou subconsciously hugged the pile of things he stuffed into her, but her hands sank and she almost couldn't hold them.
This was too much, she was dumbfounded.
Boss Tu walked so fast that Zhou couldn't stop him, so she had to carry the things and put them in the main room.
Then she went to the room to find Fu Wenxiao and told him about Boss Tu's visit.
"He brought a lot of medicinal herbs, all for nourishing the body, some of which are quite expensive. He also gave a big piece of meat, cakes, candies, etc., all of which look like Li Niang's favorites..."
Having said that, she felt that Boss Tu was really good to Li Niang.
Not only did he introduce her to a job, but when he learned that she was in trouble, he also brought a lot of things to visit her. Those medicinal herbs alone would cost a lot of money, which ordinary people would not be able to afford.
Fu Wenxiao was not surprised.
Boss Tu and Xuan Huaiqing know each other, and Yu Li is Xuan Huaiqing's savior. If something happens to her now, Boss Tu will definitely care about her.
He had no doubts about General Xuan's character. Xuan Huaiqing was taught by General Xuan, so naturally he was a grateful person.
"Mom, it's okay, just keep it." Fu Wenxiao said to Zhou, "This is what I should do."
Zhou was a little confused. What did "should" mean?
-
In the evening, Zhou was making dinner when Yu Yin hurried to Fu's house and told her that Yu Zhu had woken up.
"I just woke up, ate something, took some medicine, and fell asleep again." She said excitedly, "The doctor said that as long as I can wake up, I will be fine."
Zhou was also very happy. She clasped her hands together and muttered something, thanking the Buddha for his blessing.
It is indeed a happy thing that Yuzhu can wake up.
After visiting Yu's family yesterday, Doctor Xu also said that he could not guarantee that the patient would wake up, and that it all depended on Yu Zhu's own luck, which also meant leaving it to fate.
This made the atmosphere in the Yu family very depressing.
But unexpectedly, Yuzhu woke up suddenly this evening.
All in all, Yuzhu was only in a coma for three days, which is really incredible.
However, because Yu Zhu had just woken up and was still weak, no one told her that Yu Li was in a coma and kept it a secret for the time being.
When Yu Yin entered the room to see Yu Li, he also told Fu Wenxiao that Yu Zhu had awakened.
At the same time, he was also telling Yu Li who was on the bed.
Although she was in a coma, she still wanted to talk to her elder sister, hoping that she could hear her and wake up.
Fu Wenxiao showed surprise on his face. He really didn't expect that Yu Zhu would wake up so soon. He had a feeling that Yu Zhu's waking up might have something to do with Yu Li.
He couldn't help but look at the person on the bed.
She lay there quietly, her breathing steady and gentle, looking peaceful, as if she had fallen asleep.
After Yu Yin left, Fu Wenxiao suddenly reached out and gently touched the girl's face on the bed.
Her face still had little flesh, but her skin felt very soft, and this warmth was very nostalgic.
At night, Zhou tidied up the comatose Yu Li and told Fu Wenxiao to have a good rest.
"You should rest well and don't get too tired, otherwise when Li Niang wakes up, you might collapse and then Li Niang will be exhausted taking care of you..."
Fu Wenxiao smiled and did not refute: "Mom, I know."
**
Everything was quiet and the Qingshi Village was shrouded in darkness, with only the stars twinkling in the sky.
There was a faint sound of dogs barking in the distance, but soon everything returned to silence.
Yu Li slowly regained consciousness.
When she regained consciousness, she discovered that there was a breathing sound beside her. The other person was very close to her, and their shoulders were almost touching.
She reached out her hand like lightning and placed it on the other person's neck.
"Leaving mother?"
A sleepy voice sounded, and then the owner of the voice said in surprise: "Li Niang, are you awake?"
Yu Li was in a daze for a moment, his fingers did not tighten, but slowly loosened and he said sorry.
A big hand suddenly held her hand.
Yu Li was afraid of accidentally throwing the person out, so she didn't move and let him hold her. Plus, she had just woken up and was still a little sleepy, so she didn't really want to move.
"It's okay." Fu Wenxiao said softly, "It's great that you woke up."
He held her hand for a while, confirming that the warmth in her hand was real, then fumbled to get up.
Fu Wenxiao lit the oil lamp.
He remembered that she couldn't see at night, so she would light an oil lamp in the house whenever it got dark.
The dim light of the oil lamp lit up, and Fu Wenxiao looked at the person on the bed, sizing her up, and asked with concern: "Li Niang, how do you feel? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Yu Li was lying there, looking a little dazed, staring at him blankly, and then said, "I'm so hungry..."
Fu Wenxiao: "..."
**
In the middle of the night, there was a clanging sound from the Fu family's kitchen, and soon the aroma of food wafted out.
Yu Li sat in the main room, munching on the freshly steamed meat buns.
Fu Wenxiao sat beside her, poured her some water, and told her to eat slowly so as not to choke.
Zhou brought out a pot of hot pork bone porridge from the kitchen. The pork bones were stewed over a low fire in the evening until late at night. When rice was added to the stew, a delicious pot of pork bone porridge was made.
"The porridge is still hot. Let it cool down before eating." She reminded him. Seeing her wolfing down the porridge, she felt heartbroken.
Li Niang had been in a coma for two days and hadn't eaten anything, so she must be starving.
Afraid that she wouldn't have enough to eat, Zhou went to the kitchen to continue cooking noodles and made a large pot of braised pork noodles.
During the day, Boss Butcher brought over a large piece of meat, and Zhou braised it directly, thinking that she would make braised pork noodles for Yu Li when she woke up.
The cooked noodles are topped with large chunks of braised meat and eaten with the broth. It is so delicious.
Yu Li finished a dozen meat buns, a pot of bone porridge, and a large bowl of braised pork noodles...
When she finished eating, she was still not full.
Zhou went to the kitchen and brought out another large bowl of noodles, pouring the remaining braised meat and gravy on it.
Fu Wenxiao's eyebrows twitched when he saw this. If a normal person ate so much, their stomach would definitely burst.
He looked at her belly, which was very flat and he had no idea where all the food had gone.
Even so, neither of them said anything.
Occasionally, Zhou would feel that Yu Li ate too much and worry that something might happen to her body or that she might get an upset stomach.
But as long as Yu Li wanted to eat, she would not stop him.
After drinking the last mouthful of noodle soup, Yu Li finally put down the bowl.
"Li Niang, do you want to eat more?" Zhou asked, "What else do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Yu Li shook his head and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom. I won't eat anymore."
"What's so hard about it?" Zhou smiled happily, "As long as you're okay." Thinking of something, she added, "By the way, Zhu Niang also woke up in the evening, you don't have to worry."
Yu Li nodded after hearing this and said, "He should have woken up at this time."
Zhou looked puzzled.
Fu Wenxiao, who was sitting next to him, had a slightly darker look in his eyes.
There was still more than an hour before dawn, so Yu Li asked Zhou to go back to her room to rest and not to overwork herself.
Zhou was indeed very sleepy. After confirming again and again that Yu Li was fine, she returned to her room and told them to have a good rest.
Yu Li went to wash up first, changed into clean clothes and returned to his room.
When she entered the room, she saw Fu Wenxiao sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, resting instead of lying down to rest.
Fu Wenxiao opened his eyes and looked at her walking towards him.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Yu Li asked casually, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Thinking that she had woken him up in the middle of the night, she felt a little embarrassed.
Fu Wenxiao looked at her silently and asked, "Li Niang, are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Yu Li answered quickly, "I'm fine now."
Fu Wenxiao looked at her face carefully. She was indeed very energetic, with a pair of eyes sparkling and full of vitality, just like when he first saw her, making people want to chase her.
Yu Li is indeed doing well now. After eating and drinking her fill, she feels very relaxed and energetic. She wouldn't feel tired even if she ran around the mountain for three days and three nights.
Of course, she would be hungry.
After Fu Wenxiao confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her body, he lay down and went to sleep.
He didn't ask any more questions, choosing not to explore.
Soon, Fu Wenxiao's breathing became lighter and he fell into a deep sleep.
His body was very weak and he slept more than the average person every day. He was woken up in the middle of the night and it was already his limit that he could hold on until now.
Yu Li lay there quietly, feeling the changes in his body.
She didn't expect that she would awaken her life power.
Life power is the most vital power. Humans are life, animals are life, and plants are also life. This is a world composed of life, which shows how precious life is.
In her previous life, the supernatural power she awakened was strength.
As a new human being who grew up in a training camp, they will face dangerous pollutants and alien species outside the city. In order to survive, they are extremely eager for power.
So when genetic warriors awaken, they generally awaken to what they desire.
Yu Li longed for power, so she awakened her power ability at that time.
This time, however, she longed for the power to revive Yuju.
So she awakened her life power.
The life power has a healing effect. It can rejuvenate dead trees, revive the dead and bring bones back to life, and restore vitality to a lifeless world.
Of course, Yu Li can't do these things for the time being.
The supernatural power she awakened was too weak, like a stream that was about to dry up, only a thin stream.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have tortured himself into a coma and slept for two days just to save Yuzhu.
