Chapter 186: I Will Stay Here With You
Listening to Xuan Ruiquan’s hoarse voice, Duan Yixin said to Lan Zhuoyu, "He still has a high fever and inflammation in his throat. It will be difficult for him to eat roast rabbit."
Lan Zhuoyu glanced at the rabbit that he had cleaned, frowned, and asked, "He can’t live without eating."
Duan Yixin saw the worried look on his face and said, "When Liushiliu comes back, I will prepare medicinal porridge for him. You can share this rabbit with Liushiliu later."
Since she had said so, Lan Zhuoyu could only follow her instructions. While Lan Zhuoyu was roasting the rabbit, Duan Yixin turned to look at Xuan Ruiquan. When she saw that he was asleep again, she adjusted the blanket to cover his body.
After that, she took out a handkerchief from the warehouse, using her sleeve as a cover, and wet it with cold rainwater. She wrung out the water in her handkerchief, then came back and placed it on Xuan Ruiquan’s forehead.
Feeling the coldness on his forehead, Xuan Ruiquan slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Duan Yixin’s worried look and whispered, "Don’t worry. I’m fine. Thank you for taking care of me."
Hearing his whisper, Duan Yixin smiled and said softly, "Go back to sleep. I will stay here with you."
As if her words really gave him a sense of security, Xuan Ruiquan fell into a deep sleep. While Duan Yixin was taking care of Xuan Ruiquan, Liushiliu had already arrived near the wooden building.
He observed the situation for a while, patiently waiting for his opportunity. When he saw a group of people approaching the wooden building, he narrowed his eyes and observed those people carefully. Liushiliu recognized them as the village chief and the elders of Yunshan Village and was curious about their purpose in coming.
