Chapter 382: Chasing A Wife Is Indeed Not Easy
Fan Zhengxue hiccupped a few times and asked her elder brother between her tears, "El... Elder Brother... Mother... Is mother alright? Is mother still alive?"
Hearing her question, Fan Zhengyin frowned slightly. He wanted to say that with his mother protected by his father, she would be fine. But for some unknown reason, he couldn’t say those words.
After a moment of silence, he patted her hand gently. "Mhm."
After getting her elder brother’s answer, Fan Zhengxue gradually calmed down. When she calmed down, she suddenly felt sleepy. Fan Zhengyin looked at her sleepy face and said with a smile, "Sleep here tonight. Elder brother will accompany you."
Fan Zhengyin took off his younger sister’s shoes, and helped her to lie on his bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and patted her back gently until she fell asleep. Hearing his sister’s slow breathing, Fan Zhengyin stood up and walked back to his desk to continue working.
Two hours later, in a cave not far from the barbarian military camp, Hu Wenfeng was boiling medicine for Huan Yun. While he slowly fanned the fire, he turned to look at Huan Yun who was lying on the bed made from grass. Looking at her flushed and sweaty face, he felt distressed and worried.
After a while, the medicine was ready. He poured the medicine into a bowl and brought it to the bed. Putting the bowl on the ground, he lifted her up, let her lean against his chest, and picked up the medicine bowl.
He stirred the medicine with a spoon for a while to let the medicine cool down, and then slowly fed the medicine to Huan Yun. Since she had a high fever and was unconscious, it was difficult for him to feed the medicine to her.
Seeing that most of the medicine flowed out from the corners of her lips, Hu Wenfeng quickly wiped it off with his sleeve. After several attempts, he looked at the remaining half bowl of medicine and then looked at Huan Yun.
Gently touching her cheek and forehead, he felt that her fever was getting higher, let out a sigh and said, "Yun Yun, don’t blame me later. It’s you who is disobedient and refuses to take the medicine."
After finishing speaking, Hu Wenfeng picked up the medicine bowl, drank all the medicine, and then bowed down and fed it to Huan Yun. Having tasted the bitter medicine, Huan Yun moaned weakly and turned her face to avoid Hu Wenfeng’s lips. He looked at her helplessly for a second, then gently pinched her chin, and continued to feed her all the medicine.
After a few seconds, he let her go, wiped her lips stained with bitter medicine, and said, "You will be fine after drinking this medicine."
