Chapter 116: I can't bear to look at it directly
Let's not say it, it seems that he took advantage of others' danger and took advantage of others, which feels a bit like a villain's style.
Let's say, it seems a little deliberate. It seems that he specifically mentioned this matter and wanted to make some kind โof ambiguity.
All in all, in a word. In the man's heart, there is only one thought at this time: women are trouble.
"Porridge is coming~, hurry up and drink porridge."
Before the man could get out of his little emotions, the hearty shouts of the women outside the house had already entered the house.
"Auntie, I'm here to help you."
Finding an opportunity to avoid those subtle embarrassments, the man hurried out of the house and ran to the kitchen door to the woman who was running out with porridge.
I didn't have the strength in my hands and feet, but fortunately my arms and legs were still usable.
Relying on his arms and legs, he struggled on the bed like a salted fish for a long time, and then Li Linxi sat up and leaned his upper body against the wall at the head of the bed.
As soon as he sat up, the sound of footsteps and talking at the door came into the room.
Listening to the sound getting closer and closer, Li Linxi's nerves instantly tensed, and the cold hairs on his body seemed to rise in an instant.
"Oh, little girl, you're awake, or your brother will worry about you."
The man and the woman walked into the room almost at the same time, and as soon as the two of them walked in, they saw Li Linxi sitting on the bed like a frightened swallow, and the woman's body was shocked.
Earlier, when she took in Li Linxi and the others, she noticed the blood stains on Li Linxi's clothes, and when she saw Li Linxi and the others, Li Linxi fainted and was held in the man's arms, so she probably knew that Li Linxi was seriously injured.
Now in this era of war and chaos, there are bandits everywhere, and wars are going on everywhere. Her only son, as well as her husband, died on the battlefield because they were dragged into the army.
According to some learned people in their village, many people on the battlefield were injured because of their injuries, but there was no good medicine on the battlefield, and they died of excessive blood loss.
She kept thinking that her son and husband might have died of blood loss.
If someone had been able to save her son and husband and stop the bleeding, they wouldn't have died and left her.
That's why, when the man came to her with Li Linxi, who was covered in blood, to ask her for help, she would take in the two of them.
looked at Li Linxi, who was not about the same age as his son on the bed, and looked at Li Linxi's frightened and frightened movements.
The woman felt as if she had seen her son when he had just gone into battle and had been wounded.
The man was a careful person, so naturally he noticed Li Linxi's previous appearance, and the inexplicable emotions in his heart were a little more.
"Brother? What brother? โ
I don't know what the men and women are thinking, the woman's hearty voice made Li Linxi confirm that there should be no danger around him, and he also let down too much vigilance.
"Oh, sister, don't worry, I, as an older brother, will definitely protect you. When you're well, I'll take you home. โ
Li Linxi's question shocked the man's heart, afraid that Li Linxi would accidentally say the wrong thing and goof, and the woman knew that he was lying, so the man hurriedly played a round.
However, these seemingly simple words do contain the man's promise to Li Linxi.
He didn't dare to tell Li Linxi that everything she was suffering now had a lot to do with him.
"Huh?"
Regarding the man's words, Li Linxi subconsciously had doubts, but in just a second, Li Linxi got the meaning of the man's words.
Of course, the meaning that Li Linxi understood was only the superficial meaning of the man's words.
"Thank you, brother. And Auntie, thank you for taking in our brother and sister. โ
Auntie, Li Linxi heard a man call a woman like this.
"Huh? Oh, it's okay, it's just a gesture, the medicine you are using now is all from your brother who went up to the mountain to collect it himself in the past few days, and these injuries on your body were also treated by your brother. You've got a good brother. โ
With a kind smile on her face, the woman took the porridge in her hand and placed it on the table next to the bed.
In fact, since she first entered the door, the woman's thoughts have always stayed in the memories, and it was only when Li Linxi called out just now that she came back to her senses.
But naturally, from the woman's reaction just now, the man also noticed that his previous worries seemed to be a little unnecessary.
The woman placed the bowl on the table and was about to go to the kitchen to serve the remaining bowl of rice when she suddenly stomped her foot.
There was a stomp sound, and Li Linxi, who was sitting on the bed, was obviously startled, and his body trembled violently.
"Oh, look at me, I'm so old, I forgot you had to have gauze wrapped around your eyes. I should have handed you the bowl directly, it's really useless~"
The woman didn't notice Li Linxi's strange appearance, and while teasing herself, she went back and prepared to hand Li Linxi the bowl of porridge and spoon she had just placed on the table.
Hearing this, Li Linxi's face turned cold. An embarrassed expression froze on his face.
She didn't know what those people had done to her, she didn't know if her hands and feet could still be used, how could she hold the bowl, how could she eat by herself.
Now she is like a butterfly that has lost its wings. It's like an eagle has lost its talons. Now that she can't even see things clearly, what else can she do?
Li Linxi wanted to cry, but her eyes didn't know why, and now they hurt a little. She wanted to cry, her eyes were swollen terribly, but the tears just couldn't slip out of her eyes.
is not as sluggish as women's perception, from the beginning of the attention on Li Linxi's body, the man naturally noticed the change in Li Linxi's mood.
As early as when he was examining Li Linxi's wound dressing, he noticed the wounds on Li Linxi's wrists and ankles.
He had long known that now Li Linxi was not capable of eating by himself at all. He also noticed how fragile and sensitive Li Linxi was at this time.
He had known about Li Linxi for a long time, and when Li Linxi didn't know that he existed, he had already understood Li Linxi's every move.
He can clearly know that Li Linxi is a very strong woman.
But he didn't dare to imagine how much a person as strong as Li Linxi would hurt her heart if others discovered the scars that made her feel inferior in this form.
"Auntie, hurry up and go to dinner first. My sister, I'm spoiled by my brother myself. Now that my sister is injured, if I, as an elder brother, let my sister eat by herself, then I won't be a good brother~"
Before the woman could say anything more, the man had already stepped forward and took the lead in snatching the bowl and spoon before the woman handed them to Li Linxi.
He sat down on the chair next to the bed and began to stir the porridge in the bowl in a serious manner, letting it cool a little faster.
I heard the woman say just now that it was the medicine that the man gave him, and Li Linxi knew that the man should know his physical state at this time
Noticing that the man was taking the initiative to help him relieve his embarrassment, Li Linxi's heart couldn't help but warm, and his face eased a little from the previous embarrassment.
"Okay, well, it's my old mother who didn't think it through. I also thought that when your sister was unconscious before, you insisted on feeding her alone, and every time you waited for you to eat, the food would be cold. Now that she's awake, you can be less busy. โ
Watching the man's cautious movements, the woman explained with a smile.
In fact, in her eyes, it is not a decent thing for a man to feed a woman.
But she also knows that it's not easy to talk about other people's affairs.
Fortunately, out of sight and out of mind, he left the house directly.
"Come on, ah~, long mouth."
The man handed the porridge in the spoon, which was basically at a moderate temperature, to Li Linxi's mouth, but he didn't see Li Linxi's mouth.
"Long mouth, if you don't eat again, the food will be cold. Hurry, ah~"
Not angry because of Li Linxi's non-cooperation, the man patiently raised the spoon in his hand and leaned against Li Linxi's mouth.
After hesitating for a while, Li Linxi finally opened his mouth and ate the porridge that the man handed to his mouth.
It's just that this delicate child, whose eyes are covered with gauze, has a complexion that is visible to the naked eye.
A mouthful of porridge was swallowed, and the warmth of the porridge slowly slid down Li Linxi's throat into his stomach.
"Long mouth, ah~"
Before the man's voice fell, the spoon had already been brought to his mouth.
Another mouthful of hot porridge into his stomach, Li Linxi felt that his body was much more comfortable.
The same action, the same words, repeated several times.
Li Linxi felt that there was something more inside, and her body felt a little more comfortable.
Afraid that he would be too troublesome to the man, and afraid that because of himself, the man's meal would be cold once, Li Linxi told the man that he was full.
I don't know if it's because Li Linxi's level of lying is too poor, and the ability to kill the man to see through lies is too strong.
Although Li Linxi kept saying that he was full, the man still didn't stop the movement in his hand, and insisted on feeding her a whole bowl of porridge and drinking it.
After feeding Li Linxi after eating, he wiped Li Linxi's mouth with a kerchief that was more blunt than feeding porridge.
Only then did the man pick up the bowl of porridge that he had brought in before, which had been cold, and drank it.
The man eats much faster than Li Linxi, a girl with inconvenient hands and feet, and in less than a few minutes, a bowl of porridge has bottomed out.
Listening to the crisp sound of the porcelain bowl colliding with the tabletop, Li Linxi knew that the man had finished eating, and he was sure that he would not disturb the man, so he dared to talk to the man.
"Thank you, I'm not familiar with listening to your voice, who are you? Why are you helping me? โ
Who am I? Why did I help her?
This question hovered in the man's heart for a long time, and he wanted to tell Li Linxi the true answer, but when he saw Li Linxi's eyes now blindfolded, as well as his feet and hands that had become weak, he was afraid.
He didn't dare to tell the truth!
