Chapter 20: Waking Up



The night seemed to be dyed with ink, with a few scattered stars hanging on the dark blue sky. The moonlight poured in through the open window onto the edge of the bed, revealing a dark blue curtain.

The green quilt bulged slightly, indicating that there was a person lying on the bed. The next second, that person disappeared out of thin air. The quilt lost its support and collapsed directly, returning to its original state.

In the pink space, a woman in half-worn clothes was lying on the smooth floor.

Her long hair was loose, her skin was fair, especially her small face that was as shiny as a pearl, with curved willow-shaped eyebrows, closed eyes, a straight nose, and cherry lips that looked like dripping cherries.

Beside her was an exquisite fountain, with streams of water slowly merging together and flowing towards Su Nan's location, brushing directly against her legs, penetrating through the wooden planks and bandages used to fix her, and seeping into her flesh and blood.

As time passed, her cheeks turned slightly red, her lips became more and more rosy, and her face was as alluring as a fairy.

Su Nan woke up in a warm and comfortable feeling. When he opened his eyes, he saw the familiar pink space. He subconsciously supported himself on the floor and stood up.

After taking a few steps, I felt the heavy burden on my leg. Then I remembered that I had just had my leg reattached. How could I be able to move freely so soon?

His eyes fell on the ugly and cumbersome wooden board that his leg was tied to. He took several steps forward, even jumped a few times and did a few squats, before he was sure that his leg was really healed.

Could it be that Xiao Fangchi's uncle's bone-setting skills were so good that he could turn a rotten bone into something miraculous in just a few hours? She wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death. If that were the case, wouldn't that be like Hua Tuo reincarnated, a miracle doctor?

Why bother living in this small mountain village of Xiaojia Village?

Su Nan's mind raced through many thoughts, and finally he suddenly turned around and looked towards the clear spring.

"You cured my leg." He said with certainty.

As if to gain praise from the fairy spring, a few big bubbles emerged.

Su Nan rubbed her chin as she strolled over to the spring. She scooped up a stream of water droplets with her hand and gritted her teeth as she said, "When I was in excruciating pain, you didn't do anything. Now you want to save me?"

Xianquan pretended to be dead and didn't make any sound.

Seeing this, Su Nan snorted and started to browse the space full of cosmetics. She picked out a bottle of liquid foundation that she liked the most, and took the matching foundation brush and beauty sponge, and also looked for loose powder and setting spray.

After doing all this, she returned to the fairy spring, sat on the ground, and began to put on makeup in front of the mirror.

Not long after, the beautiful lady who originally had a great complexion turned into a frail and sickly person with a pale face, as if she would die in the next second.

"No, that's too exaggerated." After saying that, Su Nan took a clean brush, dipped it in some light-colored lipstick, and painted her lips, making her look less weak.

After looking left and right and being satisfied, Su Nan threw the things in his hands into the air casually, and they automatically returned to their places.

She followed him back to the room. Coincidentally, a rooster crowed outside, and people were probably getting up soon.

Before she could close her eyes and take a nap, she heard the sound of a door opening outside. It was from the next room.

Su Nan quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She heard the people outside first standing in the yard to wash up, and then sweeping the yard. It seemed that they had no intention of entering her room. Only then did she open her eyes with relief.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the sound of a door opening outside.

"Yun girl, you got up so early today." It sounded like an old lady's voice.

"Yes, grandma, I'll go back to my room to change my clothes first, and then come back to help you feed the chickens." A little girl's voice.

"No rush, no rush."

This time the door was finally pushed open, and the wooden door creaked and closed again.

In the darkness, Su Nan could only identify the location by listening to the sound and footsteps. It seemed that the person first walked to the bed and looked at her. Seeing that she was not awake, he considerately covered her with the quilt, and then walked to the cabinet at the end of the bed and started rummaging through clothes.

Su Nan quietly opened her eyes a little and looked over, only to see a little girl in grey cloth clothes and two thick linen braids squatting on the ground with her back to her, looking for clothes.

Su Nan didn't close his eyes until the little girl was about to change clothes. Although they were all girls, he still didn't want to look at them inappropriately.

How could he appear to wake up naturally? Su Nan suddenly felt a bit socially anxious. What was the first thing he should say to a stranger? These were Xiao Fangchi's family, right? How should he address them?

At this moment, the tip of his nose felt itchy and Su Nan sneezed uncontrollably.

He cursed in his heart, but had to pretend that he had just woken up. He looked at Xiao Fangyun with a confused face who had just changed clothes and was about to go out.

"Beauty, who are you?" What's wrong with my brain? In this era, what's called beauty? It should be called comrade.

Su Nan cursed her own words in her heart, but fortunately the other party did not show any abnormality. Instead, he took two steps to the bed and touched her forehead.

"Fortunately, there is no fever. Otherwise, my second uncle would have said that I would have to go to the commune for an IV drip." Xiao Fangyun nodded, relieved.

After meeting Su Nan's eyes, she smiled openly and said, "My name is Xiao Fangyun, Xiao Fangchi's sister. My brother accidentally scared you yesterday. I want to apologize on his behalf."

Later she told him that Xiao Fangchi let her stay here temporarily as an apology.

"Yeah." Su Nan subconsciously looked at the other person's face, and the call of "beautiful girl" before was not wrong.

The person in front of me was wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and black pants, with two long, shiny black braids hanging in front of her chest. She had an oval face, big, watery eyes that were dark and bright, a slightly sunken nose, and full lips. However, her slightly dark skin reduced her beauty.

If you apply a pure makeup, a little more foundation, and contour your nose to make it straighter, this is definitely a clean first love face that will fascinate thousands of boys.

"You must be hungry. My mother cooked two boiled eggs for you and they are warm in the pot. I'll bring them to you." Xiao Fangyun was an impetuous person. She rushed out the door without waiting for Su Nan to reply.

When she ran to the door, she didn't forget to greet her grandmother: "Grandma, Su Zhiqing has woken up. I'll take care of her first and come to help you later."

"Awake?" Luo Qiongzhi paused as she swept the floor with the broom. After a moment, she continued sweeping, muttering, "It's good that he's awake. It proves nothing serious happened."

Su Nan blinked, feeling a little uncomfortable with such enthusiasm. It seemed like they were a good family.

Having lived in this era for a long time, Su Nan knew that eggs were a rare good thing for every household.

Country people are generally reluctant to eat the food, so they will save it. When they have accumulated a certain amount, they will send it to the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune or county to exchange it for money or tickets.

Su Nan was helped by Xiao Fangyun to sit up, leaning on the buckwheat pillow, and took two tender boiled eggs. He felt a little touched.

He glanced at Xiao Fangyun who was waiting nearby, coughed lightly, and invited her, "You can have one too. I'm not very hungry."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Fangyun waved her hand and refused: "Su Zhiqing, don't be polite. This is specially left for you. I won't eat it."
