Chapter Ninety-One: Passing Away

Liu Jie slowly fed Li Xinyang and drank porridge, at first Li Xinyang didn't know what Liu Jie was drinking. After he swallowed a mouthful with difficulty, he found that it was eaten, and then Li Xinyang ate faster and faster, and he could drink it directly with his hands in the back, without Liu Jie's help to feed it.

Li Xinyang drank the last bowl of soup and rice left in Liu Jie's house, and there was nothing left, not even the bottom of his mouth, and he licked his lips after drinking, as if he was still unsatisfied.

"Little brother, you can rest and leave, my family doesn't have much food, so I can only help you get here." Liu Jie saw that after Li Xinyang finished drinking the porridge, his expression was a little better, so he patted Li Xinyang's shoulder and said.

After Liu Jie finished speaking to Li Xinyang, he didn't wait for Li Xinyang to reply, and entered the house with an empty bowl.

After entering the house, after Liu Jie put the bowl on the table, he entered Liu's wife's room and saw Liu's wife tilting her head and pale face, sleeping with her eyes closed. Liu's wife seemed to hear someone coming in, and when she opened her eyes, she found that it was her husband.

"Wife, you can rest for a while, I'm cooking porridge for you, and it will be fine soon. When it's cooked, I'll call you. Liu Jie helped his wife pull the quilt and said.

Liu's wife nodded effortlessly, closed her eyes again, and rested.

Liu Jie gently stroked his wife's forehead, looked at the child who was sleeping with a small mouth, exhaled slightly, and left the room.

Liu Jie also has a "wife Liu" who has just given birth to a child at home, and now she is very weak and needs food to replenish some energy. Liu Jie had no choice but to take the empty grain bag and leave his house with a sad face, he planned to ask his relatives and fellow villagers in the village to borrow some grain.

At this time, after drinking the bowl of soup and rice, Li Xinyang seemed to have recovered some strength, and was trying to get up little by little by holding the trunk.

Seeing that Li Xinyang was struggling now, Liu Jie strode forward and helped Li Xinyang up.

"Thank you!" Li Xinyang still said weakly, but the current Li Xinyang is at least much better than before.

"It's okay, little brother, you can rest for a while, I still have something to go out now." Liu Jie shook his head and said.

After Liu Jie finished speaking, he gently let go of Li Xinyang, and after making sure that Li Xinyang would not fall, he turned around and locked the door.

Liu Jie quickly locked the door, and just wanted to leave, when he saw Li Xinyang beckoning to him and said, "That big brother, I ......"

"Little brother, the only thing I can help you with is this one, in fact, my family has no food, you can go!" Liu Jie didn't wait for Li Xinyang to finish speaking, and directly interrupted from it.

After Liu Jie said this, he didn't care whether Li Xinyang believed it or not, and strode away directly.

Li Xinyang looked at Liu Jie's distant back, holding the trunk with both hands, not knowing what he was pondering.

Liu Jie borrowed grain from household to household in the village, but there are really few families with surplus grain in the village, and most of the family conditions are actually not much different from Liu Jie's family, even if there is surplus grain, there is not much grain left, but it can last a few days longer than others, so Liu Jie ran to several households in a row, and did not ask for a grain of rice.

In the end, Liu Jie ran from the east of the village to the west of the village, from the head of the village to the end of the village, and only when it was dark did he borrow such a small bag of grain.

Liu Jie carried the grain bag, which was probably only two bowls of gruel at most, but at this time, Liu Jie couldn't take care of it so much, because there were still two people at home who urgently needed to eat.

"Let's go back and cook a bowl of porridge for my daughter-in-law first, and when it's evening, I'll go to the field to see if I can catch a few field chickens, and then make up for my daughter-in-law." Liu Jie was thinking in his heart, and he ran home quickly.

When he got home, Liu Jie was stunned, he found that Li Xinyang was still waiting at his door and had never left at all.

"Little brother, why are you still here?" Seeing this, Liu Jie said helplessly.

"Big brother, I'm ......"

"Okay, I got it! I've just borrowed a little food now, and I can give you a bite to eat, but I have to wait for my daughter-in-law to eat before I can give it to you, okay? Liu Jie interrupted Li Xinyang's words, waved his hand and said.

"No, you listen to me first...... I"

Li Xinyang was only halfway through speaking, and there were bursts of baby cries of "wow, wow, wow, wow......" from Liu Jie's house.

When Liu Jie heard the voice coming from his house, his face tightened, he no longer paid attention to Li Xinyang, immediately took out the key and opened the door, and rushed in like a fly.

When he came to the room, Liu Jie saw his daughter crying on the bed, and his daughter-in-law was sleeping on the bed, indifferent to his crying daughter, Liu Jie didn't think about throwing the rice bag on the bed, and then hurriedly stepped forward to pick up his daughter and kept comforting him in his arms.

After comforting for a long time, Liu Jie saw that his daughter-in-law was still sleeping dead under such crying, and there was no sign of waking up, and his heart thumped violently, and an ominous thought arose.

Liu Jie held the child, freed a hand from it, and gently pushed his daughter-in-law, but "Wife Liu" still didn't wake up, Liu Jie couldn't help but increase his strength, "Wife Liu" still closed her eyes tightly, and there was no sign of opening it at all.

Liu Jie was not pushing "Liu's wife", but stretched out his hand to the nose of "Liu's wife", wanting to probe the breath of "Liu's wife", ten seconds passed, "Liu's wife" did not snort, thirty seconds passed, "Liu's wife" still did not snort, a minute passed, "Liu's wife" still did not snort.

Liu Jie's face turned pale, and in an instant, as if he had lost his soul, he knelt down directly with a "bang". It doesn't matter if her daughter is still crying, she just lowers her hair and is stunned.

After a while, Li Xinyang walked in slowly and softly, and saw Liu Jie kneeling on the ground stupidly, holding a crying baby girl in his arms, and looked at a woman lying on the bed who was already lifeless, and after a little contemplation, Li Xinyang knew the ins and outs of the matter.

"The deceased has passed away, please refuse!" Li Xinyang said softly.

“…………”

"I'm sorry, if you hadn't given me that bowl of porridge, maybe that wouldn't have happened." Li Xinyang lowered his head, his tone full of apologies.

“……… It's none of your business, I'm useless, and if I did, I wouldn't let her suffer with me. Liu Jie shook his head and said.

"The dead are gone, but your children are still there!" Li Xinyang raised his head and said as soon as he looked at Liu Jie's child.

Liu Jie listened to Li Xinyang's words, his eyes gradually brightened, and it didn't take long for him to get up from the ground and begin to comfort the child in his arms.
