Chapter 92
Looking out into the darkness, Lin Minjun felt scared while lying on the bed, always feeling that there was a Lu Deping hiding in every dark corner
She felt a little dizzy, and tightly tugged on Yan Li’s coat corner, a little childishly saying, “Can you stay with me? I’m scared”
Lin Minjun knows that she is sleepy, eyes can not open, but just close your eyes tonight’s scene will come back to life, only Yan Li will feel better when he is around, so she childishly begged him to stay
But a man unmarried and a woman unmarried, a man and a woman alone, staying in the same house in the middle of the night, needless to say now, even decades later will be gossiped about
Especially living in the compound, and a lot of neighbors are separated by a wall, such as the next door of the mother and daughter Xu sister-in-law, had been asleep, heard the rustling sound next door and lit the lamp, and then a little while later will certainly come out to see
The girl on the bed tightly tugged at him not to go, eyes are completely trust, she usually seldom show such a vulnerable side, this time quietly lying on the bed, full of eyes are pleading
After a while, Yan Li said, “Then you wait for a while”
After saying that, he went out
Lin Minjun opened her eyes, grabbed in mid-air, but her grip was empty, and immediately retreated back to the quilt, wrapping herself up tightly
She felt more and more scared, but also did not childishly make a scene, because there are people who love and make a scene will be useful, no one love, do not make a scene, take care of yourself, this reason Lin Minjun understood at a very young age
The heart said not lost are false, but she did not say anything in the end, did not call out, just curled up in bed, so curled up, wrapped themselves airtight, like a chrysalis
Just as Lin Minjun was about to fall asleep in a daze, she suddenly felt the door creak and be pushed open again, she opened her eyes alertly, subconsciously shivering, and forcefully asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, don’t be afraid” Yan Li’s voice rang out from outside
Lin Minjun breathed a sigh of relief and said drowsily, “What’s wrong?”
Another person actually came in the house, and by the sound of her voice, it was Auntie Cao
“I came to take a look, aigoo, my face is white with fear, I don’t know what this child has encountered” Auntie Cao has always been a broken mouth, as soon as she came in, she started rambling, “Xiao Lin, don’t be afraid, Auntie is here, Xiao Li just went to call me, saying that you were scared on the way back from school, and didn’t dare to go to sleep I didn’t wait for you to come back at the store today, so I knew that something might have happened, it’s good that people are fine, I’ve already closed the door of the store, and the stove is out, so you can sleep without worrying, big mom is here”
Lin Minjun asked again, “Where is Brother Yan Li?”
Auntie Cao glanced out, her voice lowered, “He is also outside, sitting in front of the table, this child is quite meticulous, did not close the door, moved a screen from his own home, so that both blocked the wind, but also does not give people to leave a message, you can rest assured that sleep, I’m here to watch over you”
Once she heard that Yan Li brother was still in the house, Lin Minjun’s heart immediately fell to her stomach, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, feeling that her body was burning and sweating constantly
In the end, this sleep is still unsettled, Lin Minjun kept having nightmares, and kept being woken up, sleep in the middle of the night to open her eyes violently, and saw Cao Auntie lying on the bed asleep, there is a screen next to the bed, the screen through the outside shadow, Yan Liguo is sitting at the table, seems to be reading a book
When Lin Minjun moved, Auntie Cao woke up, “What’s wrong with you? Can’t sleep?”
“Dizziness, no strength in my body” Lin Minjun said weakly, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was muffled
Auntie Cao came up and probed, letting out an ouch, “How is this forehead temperature so high, you’re running a high fever ah, this is really scary, Xiao Li, what should we do? Now the hospital is not open”
“First lower the temperature, tomorrow morning and then see the situation, still does not reduce the fever I will bring to the hospital” Yan Li said on the spot
Sure enough, the fever was initiated, Lin Minjun felt that her brain was as messy as eight treasure porridge, she couldn’t think of anything, she was lying on the bed in a daze and sleepy, sleepy but couldn’t sleep, I don’t know if it’s because of the fever, her whole body was as if it was falling apart, every joint was hurting, and she didn’t even have the strength to lift her hand
“Xiao Lin you don’t move, don’t be nervous, you’re suffering from shock plus a cold wind, you came back with a fever, normal, don’t be too scared, the fever will go down and you’ll be fine, and you don’t move, Xiao Li boiled water for you, I’ll bring it to you to drink after it cools down in a while” Aunt Cao said, taking the wrung out cold towel from Yan Li’s hand and placing it on Lin Minjun’s head
The brief coldness made Lin Minjun shiver, she in her heart to Lu Deping over and over again cursed a lot of times, and then all pooh-poohed, Lin Minjun confused thought, from now on she will Lu Deping from their own world kicked out, and never think of this person, never see this person, whether he is dead or alive has nothing to do with their own
Thinking this way, after a while Lin Minjun fell asleep again in a daze, and in a trance she felt that there were two people taking turns to take care of themselves, changing cold towels for themselves, and pressing them on their foreheads to measure their temperatures
One pair of hands were soft and small, with calluses on them, these were the hands of Auntie Cao
Another pair of hands with clear bones and knuckles, when pressed over, you can clearly feel the hot palms of the hands, the tiger’s mouth and a layer of thick calluses, this is Yan Liguo’s hands
In the first half of the night, Auntie Cao was still awake, but she was too old to hold on, and in the second half of the night, Lin Minjun realized that it was Yan Li who was taking care of her, and immediately felt a lot more at ease, and she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep again
By the next morning, Big Mother Cao woke up and yawned, the first thing she did was press on Lin Minjun’s forehead and announced with satisfaction, “The fever is gone”
Lin Minjun opened her eyes and tried to lift her hand up, but she still didn’t have the strength and was covered in sweat
Although she didn’t have a cleanliness fetish, she loved cleanliness and couldn’t stand being sticky, so she tried to get up
Aunt Cao said, “What are you doing, Xiao Lin?”
“I want to get up and scrub, it’s hard to feel all over” Lin Minjun was still a little weak when she spoke
Glancing outside, the sky was already completely bright, and the roosters in the hutongs were all starting to crow
She looked over at the table again, Yan Liege was not there
Aunt Cao said, “Xiao Li has already left, people have been taking care of you last night, when he left he asked me to tell you that he went to work”
Auntie Cao’s eyes glittered with gossip, but in the end she didn’t ask
See Lin Minjun still trying to get up, Cao Auntie pressed her back, covered the quilt and said, “Fever will sweat, this is normal, you first endure it, wait for the disease to get well and then get up to take a bath, and now scrubs blowing the wind will still have a fever”
As the old saying goes, listen to others and eat your fill, Lin Minjun immediately lay down, the feeling of fever can be too unbearable, cold and hot, she did not want to come back again
Auntie Cao then said, “What sick people need most is a good rest, I’ve cooked you some millet porridge, in a while you’ll drink it and then take a nap and you’ll probably be fine”
“Then let’s all have a good rest, the store will not be open today, when I get well then open it again, let’s take two days off first, Auntie you also take a rest, the wages will be calculated as usual when you take a vacation” Lin Minjun said, yawned and closed her eyes again
From the time she set up her stall for business to the time she opened her store now, except for that kind of blizzard weather where everyone didn’t go out before taking a break, other days Lin Minjun was almost always rain or shine
Now that she was sick, she didn’t want to make things difficult for herself, so let’s just take this time to rest, and open the store again when she’s rested
The store rested for three days, Lin Minjun just lay down at home to rest, slowly recovering strength, the school side also took a vacation
The night fever did not sleep well, and then lay in bed during the day to sleep in the dark, and then opened his eyes when it was already night, still a little sleepy, but the spirit has recovered almost, the body also has strength
Lin Minjun climbed up and cooked himself a bowl of porridge, was eating when Yan Li came back from work, specifically over to take a look
Lin Minjun smiled and said, “It’s almost good, thank you for taking care of me”
“It should be” Yan Li said
He stood at the door and didn’t walk in, frankly
Seeing that Lin Minjun was already almost well, he sighed in relief and added, “Lu Deping has woken up this morning, and is now being temporarily detained, we interrogated him, and for what happened last night he took the initiative to give an explanation, saying that he was drunk and went to look for you”
Lin Minjun quietly listened, Lu Deping in the Public Security Bureau a brain to explain, said it was drunk to spread drunkenness, because of unwillingness, because of love, but he did not want to play hooliganism, just want to beg Lin Minjun to return to his heart
Because there is no hooliganism, there are no witnesses to prove that he wanted to play hooliganism, there is no hooliganism, Lu Deping is now facing detention and fines, for Lu Deping that kind of proud people, because of this reason is imprisoned, that is really more difficult than death
After hearing this Lin Minjun nodded her head and said faintly, “Brother Yan Li, in the future this person has nothing to do with me, you don’t need to tell me his news, I don’t want to hear it”
Yan Li nods without hesitation, “Good”
The next evening Erwa came to visit the patient, and when he came in he first asked, “Sister, are you alright?”
He wrinkles his nose and explains with dissatisfaction, “I wanted to come over yesterday, but my brother froze and said that you’re physically weak right now, and that I can’t come into contact with you when I’m running around outside all day”
“Your brother is right” Lin Minjun’s voice was still a bit hoarse, propping herself up to sit up from the bed, “Don’t worry, I’m pretty much fine already, I was just shocked”
Erwa sighed in relief, suddenly rubbing his hands together, he brought his school bag over, unzipped it, and carefully held out something from inside
While taking it out, Erwa was still swallowing saliva, which made the baby greedy
Lin Minjun took a closer look, this is actually a bunch of grapes, big and purple
“Sis, taste it” Erwa handed the grapes over with a look of offering
