Chapter 42: I Am a Family Man
The mother-in-law didn't move, lowered her head and didn't say a word.
Wei Zhuang opened his mouth, still recovering from the shock.
After a long time, Wei Zhuang asked in a deep voice.
"Mother-in-law, did you ...... just now?"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the woman raise her head.
The corners of her mouth were bent downward, and her eyes were red.
Wei Zhuang was stunned for a moment, "What are you...... Crying? ”
The mother-in-law stared at him, her shoulders twitching.
??
What the hell, I didn't force you to do it, it wasn't you who sneezed and then ......
Wei Zhuang was a little hairy by her staring, "This has nothing to do with me." ”
The mother-in-law bit her lip, and a sad color flashed in her eyes.
"Are you happy to see me make a fool of myself?"
"Laugh if you want, anyway, for you, the emperor, my existence itself is insignificant."
Wei Zhuang couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on her face.
For some reason, his heart moved.
There was a familiar and strange feeling at one moment just now.
Looking at the mother-in-law with a desperate face, Wei Zhuang's heart was filled with a trace of unbearability.
At this thought, he sighed silently.
Then put on a puzzled expression, "Dead mother-in-law, what strange things did you say, what are you ugly about?" ”
The mother-in-law looked at Wei Zhuang with a confused face and was stunned.
Wei Zhuang continued to pretend to be stupid: "Are you stupid by the rain, what do you make me laugh at for no reason?" ”
The mother-in-law gritted her teeth: "Dum, you don't have to pity me, even if you pretend to be stupid now, I will still kill you after you go out." ”
Wei Zhuang stared at her, his face full of schadenfreude.
"Dead mother-in-law, did you secretly do something ugly just now?"
"Hahaha, tell me, I'm going to laugh at you!"
Hearing this, the mother-in-law furrowed her brows, and her eyes stared at Wei Zhuang.
Wei Zhuang's expression management can be called a drop of water.
The mother-in-law withdrew her gaze, her face a little red.
"What did you do?" Wei Zhuang asked her.
The mother-in-law returned to her original "arrogant" expression and shouted angrily.
"Shut up, it doesn't matter to you what I do!"
"Dead mother-in-law, why are you crazy all of a sudden!"
There were bursts of scolding from the well.
……
I don't know how long it took, but the rain stopped.
Inside the well, Wei Zhuang's head leaned against the wall of the well, and the mother-in-law leaned on Wei Zhuang's shoulder.
The two were drowsy.
A drop of water hit Wei Zhuang's eyes, he squeezed his eyes, and slowly came to his senses.
The sky was still overcast.
His shoulders were tingling a little.
"Hey, wake up." Wei Zhuang shrugged his shoulders and called her.
The mother-in-law's eyebrows moved, but she didn't get up.
"Hurry up, my shoulders are stiff."
"Don't touch me like this."
"Don't try to take advantage of me, I'm a family man."
After a few more urges, the mother-in-law still didn't respond, but her breathing became heavier.
Wei Zhuang sensed that something was wrong.
He wanted to touch his mother-in-law's forehead, but when he raised his arm, he remembered that he couldn't use his hands.
After a slight hesitation, Wei Zhuang pressed his forehead against it.
The mother-in-law's head is very hot.
Sure enough, it was a fever.
Wei Zhuang had a little headache, he didn't want this woman to die here.
On a rainy day, a corpse was left with him in a dry well, and the picture was terrifying to think about.
"Please, don't kill me......"
The mother-in-law, who was still asleep, suddenly showed fear on her face and made a trembling sound.
??
Is this mother-in-law talking in her sleep?
Please, don't kill me......
I didn't expect this dead woman to be so weak.
"I'm afraid of being killed by others, and I still want to be a killer, it's really self-inflicted."
Wei Zhuang commented mercilessly.
Spit and complain, Wei Zhuang still has to find a way to make this woman a little sober.
With the current situation of the two of them, the conventional method of taking medicine and resting is not useful.
Wei Zhuang's first thought was physical cooling.
For example, use a wet towel to wipe the forehead, armpits, hands and feet to remove the heat from the body surface.
He didn't have a towel, so he had to use cloth for his clothes.
"This dead woman is wearing a strong suit, and the fabric can't be torn off at all."
"Do you want to tear my own clothes and give her them?"
Wei Zhuang wrinkled his brows and thought about it again and again, and finally sighed, "Unlucky mother-in-law, Lao Tzu really owes you!" ”
After speaking, Wei Zhuang grabbed the placket of his clothes and pulled it hard.
There was a stab.
"It's broken, how did I tear my underwear open."
Wei Zhuang looked down at his exposed chest, where an emerald green jade pendant hung there.
He tucked the jade pendant into his clothes, shook his head a little irritably, folded the fabric into pieces, threw it upwards and bit it with his teeth.
Then turn your head and put the damp cloth on your shoulder, so that your mother-in-law's forehead can touch it.
After about twenty minutes, Wei Zhuang tested the temperature with his forehead again.
The mother-in-law's forehead was still hot.
"Looks like we'll have to take a different approach."
Wei Zhuang thought about it for a while, and thought of several fever-reducing acupuncture points that Imperial Physician Chen had taught.
Looking down at the bumpy body in front of him, Wei Zhuang swallowed.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and moved his hand up her spine, eventually stopping at a point at the lower end of her neck.
The fingers are pressed right to the large vertebral points, and rubbing them here will help reduce fever.
Then he pressed his fingers slightly.
"Hmmm......"
The mother-in-law let out a soft snort.
Wei Zhuang glanced at her with a bit of a thief, and was relieved to see that she hadn't woken up.
Feeling the softness on his chest, Wei Zhuang straightened his face.
"I'm saving people, and I don't have any other thoughts at all."
"Yes, not at all!"
……
After a while.
The mother-in-law felt a sense of comfort coming from behind.
She slowly opened her eyes, and what caught her eye was Wei Zhuang's bare chest.
"What are you doing!"
Wei Zhuang let go of the hand that was wrapping around her waist and said calmly, "You're awake." ”
The mother-in-law's eyes were full of horror, "What have you done to me!" ”
"Before answering your question, please keep a certain part of your body away from me." Wei Zhuang looked upright, "After all, I am a family man. ”
As he spoke, he leaned back.
The mother-in-law was just about to get angry, and suddenly felt dizzy, her head sank, and she leaned on Wei Zhuang's shoulder.
She gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "The villain who takes advantage of people's danger! ”
Wei Zhuang smiled: "Please figure it out, now you are leaning on me, it seems that you are taking advantage of the danger." ”
"You don't have to quibble, what did you do with your hand on my back when I was asleep just now?"
"I don't press acupuncture points for you, can you wake up now?"
"Hmph, you wish you could kill me, will you be kind enough to save me?"
"Don't think about it, I just don't want to be in the well with a corpse."
"Dusk, you ......"
The mother-in-law wanted to say something, but she felt that her feet were soft, and she fell on Wei Zhuang's body weakly.
Wei Zhuang was startled by her sudden "hug".
"Mother-in-law, I'm glad you know how to be grateful, but there's no need to use this way."
"You, you ......"
The mother-in-law was weak at this time, and her voice was very weak.
Wei Zhuang frowned and pressed his ear to hear what she had to say.
"You...... Get lost! ”
