Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 290 The Night is Not Seductive

Xu Deyong blinked speechlessly and said, "He won't die. The drug must be taking effect..."

Chen Xueru huddled in bed as if she hadn't heard anything, and continued to mutter, "I don't want to die. I'm still so young and rich..."

Xu Deyong had no choice but to coax her softly, "Okay, okay, you won't die. Just take a good sleep and you'll be fine."

"If I... die, and there's no one at home, what should I do with Xiaokui... I'll just leave it to..." Chen Xueru continued to mumble with heavy breathing.

After that, Chen Xueru paused for a moment, and just when Xu Deyong thought she had fallen asleep, she continued, "Xu Deyong..."

……

Xu Deyong simply sat aside and listened without replying.

"Xu Deyong, you won't leave, will you... um..." After a while, Chen Xueru didn't hear any response, and said in a weak voice with a hint of crying.

Xu Deyong said helplessly: "I am here, what am I doing?"

"I'm thirsty..."

Xu Deyong stood up and brought her some water, then put the enamel cup aside.

Chen Xueru also calmed down, just when Xu Deyong thought she had finally fallen asleep this time.

"Deyong..."

Xu Deyong: "..."

No, sister, you drink water to moisten your throat. Go on!

Can’t you just sleep and rest if you have a fever?
"Deyong..., why... didn't you choose me..."

Xu Deyong remained silent and thought to himself: "It's over, this woman has started talking nonsense."

"...I am not as good as...Xu Huizhen..."

you guess.

"Deyong... I'm so pitiful..."

You are pitiful, what do you want the other 99.9 percent of the people in the country to say?
"Oh, oh, oh..." As she said this, the woman began to cry softly.

Xu Deyong bared his teeth, took a breath, and quickly whispered, "Sister, don't cry. This is the commune clinic. There are people in the back room. I don't know if they will think I did something to you!"

The crying gradually stopped, Chen Xueru slowly became quiet, and her breathing rate became stable.

Xu Deyong breathed a sigh of relief and waited for a while. Seeing that the woman did not cause any more trouble, he blew out the kerosene lamp and lay down on the straw mat bed next to him with his clothes on.

After dozing off for an hour, he stood up and looked at Chen Xueru. He felt his forehead and found that he was sweating. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes again...

……

At dawn, it was still dark outside.

Xu Deyong woke up to the sound of the bed shaking. He opened his eyes but did not make a sound. The sound came from the direction of the bed where Chen Xueru was lying.

After a while, the sound of the bed shaking was heard again. Chen Xueru must have woken up.

So he sat up and whispered, "Now that you're awake, how do you feel?"

……

After a moment of silence, Chen Xueru said in a hoarse and weak voice: "Okay... cough, I feel better..."

"Want some water?"

In the darkness, Chen Xueru moved again and said, "No need."

Then the room fell into silence, and the faint sound of a few roosters could be heard in the distance, heralding the arrival of a new day.

Xu Deyong lay down again, with his hands behind his head. He couldn't fall asleep this time and waited for dawn.

Chen Xueru next to her didn't sleep either. She kept pupating like a cricket every now and then, as if there were maggots in her quilt.

Xu Deyong noticed something unusual and asked tentatively, "Do you want to go to the toilet?"

……

"Um……."

After a while, Chen Xueru responded in bed. Xu Deyong blinked his eyes. Hey, this woman is still a little embarrassed!
He said, "This is the commune clinic. The toilet should be in the backyard. Can you get up now? I'll help you over there, or you can wait for the female nurse here to come to work..."

Chen Xueru fluttered in the quilt for a few times, propped up her arms and tried to sit up, saying: "I... I'll get up by myself, you tell me where... "

As he spoke, his arms went limp and he lay back down, feeling a little weak from the fever and sweating.

Xu Deyong didn't waste any words. He struck a match and lit the kerosene lamp on the table. After his dim vision became clear, he went over and helped Chen Xueru sit up.

Chen Xueru slept with her clothes on. After sweating, her underwear stuck to her body and felt sticky and uncomfortable, and she also had a bit of body odor.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, her feet will become smelly if she doesn’t take a bath, especially her feet.

Of course, after taking a bath, you will feel fragrant and soft, making you love it...

Chen Xueru's hair was a little messy. She glanced at Xu Deyong, sat on the bed, rubbed her face with her hands, smoothed her hair and tied it up again, tidied her clothes, and then slowly got out of bed and put on her shoes.

This woman is still concerned about her outward appearance at this time.

Chen Xueru took a breath and stood up. Suddenly she felt dizzy and her body swayed. Then a pair of strong hands grabbed her shoulders.

"Are you okay? Do you want to call a doctor to take a look?" Xu Deyong said.

Chen Xueru paused and said, "No need."

Xu Deyong knew what she was in a hurry to do, so he helped her walk and said jokingly, "I gave my flashlight to Captain Zhou. It's dark here, so I'll help you to the backyard. I don't know where the toilet is, so don't fall into it."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you can't spit out ivory, you can't say anything nice."

She simply gave up trying and leaned her body weight on Xu Deyong's arm.

The two walked along the corridor and opened the door to the backyard.

The moment the door opened, a cool breeze blew in from outside. Chen Xueru subconsciously shrank her body and shivered slightly, then leaned towards Xu Deyong, with almost half of her body leaning on Xu Deyong.

Xu Deyong remained calm and took advantage of the little light from the sky to squint at the corner of the wall. Halfway there, he saw what looked like a toilet.

So he pointed the direction to Chen Xueru, who had recovered a little. It was naturally inconvenient for him to follow her, so he turned around and went back.

At that time, the environment of dry toilets was generally bad, and some places were even difficult to step into. It was okay for men, as long as they didn't have to defecate and could just do it from a distance, but it was a little more troublesome for women.

Of course, the toilet in the clinic would not be that bad.

Five minutes later, Chen Xueru came back slowly.

Xu Deyong handed her the enamel cup filled with water and said, "Drink some water."

Chen Xueru took it and sat back on the bed, drank two sips and lay back on the bed.

After a moment, she curled up her body and looked at Xu Deyong and said, "Xu Deyong."

"Ah."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Xu Deyong yawned, stretched and said, "Thank Captain Zhou if you want to thank anyone. He ran back and forth in the middle of the night."

Chen Xueru still looked at him and said, "I know, but you saved me again."

"If there's no me, there will be someone else."

"But it's you again."

"Who made me so unlucky?"

Chen Xueru raised her lips slightly and whispered, "Come closer."

"What are you doing?" Xu Deyong asked with inexplicable vigilance.

"I have something to tell you."

"You can say that if you have something to say."

"Why, are you still afraid that I'll eat you even though I'm like this?"

Xu Deyong couldn't help but shudder. This woman was just talking, why did she suddenly become so jealous?
