Chapter 22
What surprised Li Xiaoran was that her parents and sister had already adapted to life here.
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu weren’t idle. At this moment, they had found some hoes and were busy digging in the vegetable field in the backyard.
Li Xiaoqing was actually playing with a few dogs at this moment. Only Big Yellow was lying at the side and watching with disdain.
Seeing Big Yellow, Li Xiaoran remembered the agreement between her and Big Yellow, so she walked over.
“Big Yellow, did you capture any rabbits?”
When Big Yellow saw Li Xiaoran coming out, it immediately stood up and called out to her softly.
When Li Xiaoqing heard her sister’s voice, she stopped playing with the dogs and ran over.
“Sister, Big Yellow just brought back a rabbit. It’s still alive. Mother saw that the rabbit was a female rabbit and had a child in its stomach, so she discussed it with Big Yellow and left that rabbit behind to feed it!”
Li Xiaoran didn’t expect so many things to happen in such a short time. Looking at Big Yellow’s expectant expression, Li Xiaoran smiled.
“So Big Yellow plans to eat a few more roasted rabbits in the future?”
Big Yellow rubbed its head against Li Xiaoran’s hand and wagged its tail while looking very happy.
“Sis, how did you know? That’s what Mom agreed to with Big Yellow!” Li Xiaoqing asked in surprise.
“I guessed it!” Li Xiaoran smiled and said, “By the way, where’s my bag? The room I’m staying in has been tidied up. I have to put my clothes in!”
When Li Xiaoqing heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she suddenly thought of something and leaned over. She lowered her voice and asked, “Sister, are you going to marry Brother-in-law just like that? Are you going to live together?”
When Li Xiaoran heard her sister’s words, she smiled and shook her head.
“Luo Cheng said he would respect me. Previously, he brought me over to help me tidy up the room I live in!”
Li Xiaoran had no intention of hiding the good news that the two of them lived separately.
Since everyone lived under the same roof, they would naturally find out after some time. Therefore, there was no need to hide it at this moment.
Li Xiaoqing wasn’t a child. She was already beginning to understand some things.
Hearing her sister’s words, Li Xiaoqing was stunned. She asked with uncertainty, “You won’t live with him?”
Li Xiaoran looked at Li Xiaoqing and smiled.
“I live in the room next to his!”
When Li Xiaoqing heard her sister’s words, she didn’t know how to describe what she felt.
To be honest, she felt resistance towards Luo Cheng at first.
Her sister should marry someone who truly loved her.
It was just that family matters weren’t up to them to decide.
Therefore, when she saw her grandpa and grandma forcing her sister to marry Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoqing really hated him.
However, after what had happened in the past two days, Li Xiaoqing felt that it wasn’t bad to have a brother-in-law like Luo Cheng.
Therefore, when she heard that her sister and Luo Cheng were sleeping separately, Li Xiaoqing was worried for her sister.
Li Xiaoran naturally understood Li Xiaoqing’s feelings.
She reached out and touched Li Xiaoqing’s head.
“Little girl, you’re still so young! Why are you so worried all the time! Just be happy and play with your little friend. Haven’t you heard of the saying that everything will work out when the time comes? As long as our family works together, our lives will get better and better in the future!”
Li Xiaoqing thought for a moment, then nodded.
“Sister, you’re right. I was greedy!”
Just as Li Xiaoqing was about to say something, there was a sudden bang, as if something had fallen to the ground.
“Sister, it’s Brother-in-law. Brother-in-law went to that room just now!” Li Xiaoqing thought of something and her expression changed as she reminded her.
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Li Xiaoran quickly ran over.
At this moment, Luo Cheng was lying on the ground with his eyes closed.
Beside him was a wooden crate stained with mud.
“Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng, what’s wrong?” Li Xiaoran ran over, squatted down, and shouted.
As she didn’t know what was going on with Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran didn’t dare to push him rashly.
Li Xiaoqing, who was running over, thought of something and turned around to run towards the vegetable garden at the back.
“Father, Mother, come quickly. Brother-in-law has fainted!”
When Li Shun and Zhao Xiu heard this, they were shocked and quickly ran over with their youngest daughter.
On the other side, Li Xiaoran used his hand to feel the temperature of Luo Cheng’s body, only to feel a chill.
Looking out at the red sun, Li Xiaoran was a little puzzled.
The weather was good, so he shouldn’t be so cold!
Could it be that Luo Cheng had been poisoned?
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran noticed the wooden box beside Luo Cheng.
The chest contained a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but on top of them was a purple-black wooden box.
Li Xiaoran didn’t take action rashly but leaned closer to take a look.
As soon as she leaned over, she smelled a faint fragrance.
Could Luo Cheng have been poisoned by this fragrance?
...
If there was something wrong with this scent, why was she completely fine?
She was very confused. Before Li Xiaoran could figure anything out, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu’s footsteps sounded.
In order not to let her parents smell this fragrance, Li Xiaoran quickly covered the wooden box and pulled Luo Cheng’s upper body up from the ground.
No matter how hard Li Xiaoran tried, Luo Cheng showed no signs of waking up.
“Daughter, don’t be anxious. I will carry Luo Cheng to his room first!” When Li Shun saw this, he immediately wanted to carry him.
“Dad, be careful. Luo Cheng is very cold!” Li Xiaoran reminded him.
Li Shun nodded and then, with the help of the others, carried Luo Cheng.
“Dad, come with me. I know where Luo Cheng lives!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and quickly walked to the front.
Soon, a group of people sent Luo Cheng to his room.
Zhao Xiu also found several quilts in Luo Cheng’s room, so she quickly brought them over and wrapped them around Luo Cheng.
“From the looks of it, we have to get a doctor!” Li Shun said worriedly.
...
“Our village’s doctor’s medical skills aren’t good, right?” Zhao Xiu said worriedly, “If it’s just a minor illness or pain, we can treat it. However, I’m afraid we won’t be able to treat his condition. We have to send him to town quickly!”
At that moment, Big Yellow ran in from somewhere and rushed to a cabinet. It reached out with its claws and opened a drawer. Then it jumped up with a porcelain bottle in its mouth and squatted beside Luo Cheng.
After placing the porcelain bottle on the blanket, Big Yellow looked at Li Xiaoran and called out anxiously.
Li Xiaoran sensed Big Yellow’s emotions and immediately understood.
“Mother, quickly pour some warm water and bring it over!”
