Feng Muchi nodded and looked at this little brother with a distressed expression.
"Tan'er, I will guard this place tonight. You and Uncle Nine Emperors should go to my room to rest for a while. I will call you when he wakes up."
"Okay, just look at the water in this bottle and call me over if it's gone."
"good."
After handing this place over to Feng Muchi with confidence, Dong Lingjiu helped Xia Tan'er walk to the bed in Feng Muchi's room and sat down on it.
Dong Lingjiu didn't say a word or ask a question. After seeing Xia Tan'er sit down, he turned around and walked to the washbasin. He took out a clean handkerchief from his arms, soaked it in hot water and wrung it dry. Walked to Xia Tan'er again.
Half-bending down, he raised the handkerchief and gently wiped away the dirt on Xia Tan'er's face. The warmth in her eyes gave Xia Tan'er the greatest healing.
Xia Tan'er raised her head obediently and allowed Dong Lingjiu to move. The two of them didn't say a word, but a touch of warmth arose in each other's hearts.
After wiping his face, he wiped his hands, his movements unfamiliar but careful. Finally, he put the handkerchief on a chair nearby, sat on the bed, held Xia Tan'er in his arms, and gently squeezed her sore hands.
"Uncle Nine Emperors."
"Um?"
"My left hand is also sore, so I have to press it."
"Okay, come one by one."
Xia Tan'er leaned back and nuzzled into his arms like a little kitten.
If that hadn't happened, Xia Tan'er would have really enjoyed the atmosphere between the two. Dong Lingjiu had always been gentle to her, but only at this moment did she feel at ease.
He woke up several times in the middle of the night to change the little brother's medicine. After the high fever finally subsided, Xia Tan'er was finally able to sleep soundly.
"Tan'er, Tan'er."
"Um?"
Xia Tan'er hummed in response, but the voice was still ringing in her ears, so she had to open one eye in a daze and vaguely saw Dong Lingjiu's figure.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, what's wrong?"
The voice was soft and waxy, which was inexplicably heart-wrenching, but now was not the time to think about that.
Dong Lingjiu sat on the bedside, gently lifted Xia Tan'er and held her in his arms.
"Tan'er, that little brother is awake and clamoring to see you. Go and have a look."
"Little brother wakes up...little brother wakes up!"
Xia Tan'er suddenly woke up and hurriedly got out of bed. After picking up her coat and putting it on herself, she took Dong Lingjiu's hand and rushed to her private room without stopping.
At that time, Nan Lingmu and Feng Muchi were already gathered around the bedside. Seeing Xia Tan'er coming, they immediately got up and made way for Xia Tan'er.
Xia Tan'er sat beside the bed and reached out to touch his body temperature to make sure that the fever was gone, and she finally felt relieved.
"How's it going? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere else?"
The man in black shook his head and opened his pale lips.
"Thank you, Master, for saving this subordinate's life."
"That's right, but how could you be so injured? Did you get into a fight with someone while stalking?"
The man in black lowered his eyes, wondering how to describe such a scene to Xia Tan'er.
Although he had killed many people, he had never seen such a massacre. It was so cruel that he and his brother even wanted to break the rules and step forward to rescue them, but they were alone and helpless, and there was nothing they could do.
"What's wrong?"
"Master, don't be too frightened when you hear what my subordinate says next."
"Okay, I understand, just tell me."
"yes."
The man in black propped himself up, avoiding the injuries behind him and sitting on the bed with difficulty. Before he spoke, his face couldn't help but look lonely.
