The walls of the house were made of mud, and the roof was made of hay?
The tables and chairs were also very old, and the quilt on her body… was so yellow that it was unbearable to look at.
Bu Yaolian burst into tears. “Shao Zun, where are we? Why are you so poor after I woke up? Did we go bankrupt?”
Su Shenfan rolled his eyes speechlessly. “What are you thinking? Even if the whole world turns poor, I will never be poor.”
Bu Yaolian wiped her tears. “I thought you had become poor after I woke up from a dream.”
“We’re passing through this village on the way back. Have something to eat first. We’ll go back when you’re better.” Su Shenfan sighed deeply. How scared was this girl of him becoming poor that she would actually cry?
She didn’t even have the strength to eat.
However, it was a good thing that she was crying. At least, it proved that she was really alive.
Bu Yaolian lay on his chest. “I can’t lift it.”
Su Shenfan brought a piece of chicken to her mouth. “Eat it. It’s stewed well. It’s fresh and tender.”
Bu Yaolian opened her mouth and ate it. After chewing a few times, she felt tired. “I’m not eating. I’m so tired.”
Su Shenfan stroked her back sympathetically. “Don’t sleep. I’ll break it up for you.”
Su Shenfan put the chicken into his mouth, chewed it, and fed it to her like a bird.
Bu Yaolian swallowed it and said, “Delicious.”
Su Shenfan chuckled. “You’re the first person I’ve served like this.”
If she said it wasn’t delicious, he would string her up and beat her.
Not now, of course.
Bu Yaolian didn’t care about that. She only knew that she was weak and sleepy. She didn’t know what had happened to her, and didn’t want to think about it.
Su Shenfan fed her half a bowl of chicken until Bu Yaolian couldn’t take it anymore and fell asleep.
After covering her with the blanket, Su Shenfan ate a few mouthfuls of food and had the old lady remove the rest.
He hadn’t rested for the past two days. Normally, not resting for two days was nothing to him.
When it came to actual cultivation, it was common to not eat, drink, or sleep for half a month.
However, this was the first time he felt mentally and physically exhausted. The fact that Bu Yaolian had almost left him had a huge impact on him, and he was very tired.
After breakfast, both of them fell asleep.
“Grandma, can someone be fed like that?” Wang Cai asked curiously.
The old lady was so shocked by Su Shenfan’s method that she forgot to cover her grandson’s eyes.
“That girl can’t eat anything hard right now, so he can only chew it up for her.” The old lady sighed. “I didn’t expect such a fierce-looking man to be so patient.”
“What’s wrong with her? Why does she need someone to feed her?”
Wang Cai was old enough already that he didn’t need to be fed like that.
“She’s sick. You stay at home and keep an eye on them. I’m going out to buy something. I’m afraid she’ll need it when she wakes up.”
The old lady told her grandson to keep an eye on them while she went to the village shop to buy some things.
Bu Yaolian was half-conscious. She had been like this for the past two days.
Su Shenfan’s heart was taut the whole time. Bu Yaolian looked like her soul had been stolen away, and he was afraid that she would suffer some side effects.
He couldn’t relax.
Su Sheng and the others had already gone back. They would probably send a carriage to pick them up. With the carriage, he would be able take her back, and she would suffer less.
