The Idyllic Scenery is Infinitely Good

“A Ma!” Lin Mai saw Li Fang lying on the ground and hurriedly pounced on her, calling her several times but the person didn’t respond.

This time Lin Mai’s heart was even more in a state of panic. He spent quite a while of energy to move Li Fang from the ground to the bed. He covered her with a quilt and then he hastily went to the edge of the village, the old man Lin’s home.

“Ouch, what are you going to do in such a hurry?” Yu Xiaoli had just walked out of old man Lin’s house carrying medicine when she almost bumped into Lin Mai and fell on the ground.

“I’m sorry!” Lin Mai apologized to her in a great rush. He was about to walk forward to the house but was stopped by Yu Xiaoli.

Yu Xiaoli pulled Lin Mai and spoke in a strange way, “Yo, you call that an apology? What kind of attitude is this? Is that how your grandma teaches you? You bump into someone and that’s it?”

Lin Mai forcefully pulled apart from her hand and said, “I really have an emergency here. You let go of me first!”

“You have an emergency so what does it have to do with me? I’m telling you, if you don’t apologize to me this time you can’t leave!” Yu Xiaoli willfully did not let him off easily and dragged Lin Mai, not letting him leave.

Lin Mai, who was already upset, became even more upset by him, so he pushed Yu Xiaoli away, said he was sorry and ran into the house.

Yu Xiaoli didn’t expect him to push herself away so hard, so she didn’t react for a while and fell over. After sitting on the ground for a while, Yu Xiaoli got up furiously, just in time to see Lin Mai dragging the old man running outside. Yu Xiaoli immediately crossed her arms, pointed at Lin Mai and cursed him, “You shameless bitch! Bullying a woman like me, you have no shame!”

If it was usual Lin Mai would definitely argue a few words with her, but unfortunately Lin Mai really didn’t have the heart to care about her for now, so he just pulled old man Lin bypast her.

“You!” Yu Xiaoli stared at Lin Mai, who was directly ignoring her, so angry that she almost fainted. She was just about to rush up and argue with Lin Mai, but as if she suddenly thought of something, she just glared fiercely at Lin Mai’s back and left.

Unaware that he was being schemed, Lin Mai was only anxious, dragging the old man Lin to his home. However, old man Lin was too old to keep running behind him as he gasped for breath, he shouted, “Mai … Mai Zi ah, slow down! Could you slow down please?”

“Uncle Lin, my A Ma is still lying on the bed and did not wake up. We must hurry ah!” Lin Mai turned around and casually responded to his words, hurriedly dragged the person away.

The old man Lin saw that he really had no intention to stop, so he had to speed up his pace and closely follow Lin Mai to his home.

“A Ma, A Ma!” As soon as Lin Mai ran to the door of the house, only minding his own matter, he let go of old man Lin’s hand. He followed him to the inner room, just in time to see Li Fang staring at the ceiling with her eyes open so Lin Mai immediately ran up to her.

When Li Fang heard Lin Mai’s voice, she turned her head and forced the corners of her mouth to smile, opening her mouth, her voice unexpectedly hoarse, “Mai Zi, what’s wrong with you being so much in hurry?”

“You still ask me? Just now, why do you suddenly faint? You have scared me!”

Lin Mai helped her sit down and said in a gentle tone.

Before Li Fang could say anything, old man Lin spoke up first, “Aiyo, this old back of mine! I can’t do it anymore, this made me so tired! I say, Li Fang ah, this grandson of yours really doesn’t know how to respect the elder. He nearly caused my old bones to suffer.”

If he didn’t speak up just now, he would have been forgotten by Lin Mai who smiled awkwardly and said, “Sorry, Uncle Lin, I was in such a hurry earlier.”

“I know, I understand.” Old man Lin waved his hand. He also did not blame Lin Mai. Anyway, he didn’t find it strange in this kind of situation. He put the medicine box he brought on the small stool next to the bed:

“Li Fang ah! Do you still feel unwell now?”

“I feel better now. I’m not that dizzy anymore.’ Li Fang leaned against Lin Mai and answered him weakly and without strength.

Old man Lin took out a small pillow from the medicine box and placed it on the bedside. He said, “Stretch out your arm! I’ll take your pulse and see.”

Li Fang cooperated with him and put his hand on the pillow for him to take his pulse. Old man Lin touched his beard and took the pulse with his eyes closed, then withdrew his hand and said slowly, “The body is weak and the pulse is also a bit unstable. This situation is not very good, ah…”

“What should I do?” Lin Mai’s heart tightened and tense as he asked.

“No need to worry! I didn’t say there’s nothing we can do about it. I’ll prescribe you some medicine, opsonize it. Let’s see what kind of situation your grandma is in.” Old man Lin withdrew his hand and put the pillow back into the medicine box. He took out a pen, ink and paper before slowly writing the prescription. He then said to Lin Mai, “Mai Zi ah, later you follow this old man back to my home to take the medicine, then it will be okay.”

“Okay!” Lin Mai stood up and prepared to send the old man Lin out.

Old man Lin had just taken two steps and turned back to Li Fang and said, “Li Fang ah, don’t lie down in bed all the time, you need to get out and walk around more often. You’ll get weaker and weaker if you lie down all the time.”

Hearing what he said, Li Fang nodded her head, thanked him and watched them go out.

Just as he walked out of the house, Lin Mai asked the old man Lin in a low voice, “Uncle Lin, is my A Ma’s body not going to get better?”

“Mai Zi ah, I also do not hide it from you that your grandma’s health is difficult to cure. After all, this was caused by the incompletely cured illness that she got when she gave birth to your father. At that time, we all thought that your A Ma was unable to hold on. God opened His eyes and let your grandma survive. But this body, in the end, still has a problem. Now we can only use medicine to nurse her but how long can she survive? Still depends on your A Ma’s fate (luck/ fortune).” Old man Lin stroked his beard. The tone of his reply carried a helplessness that was hard to ignore.

“Is that so …” Lin Mai lowered his head so that no one could not see his expression, but the tone (the way he spoke) carried along the trembling caused people to feel sad.

“Ah…” Old man Lin patted Lin Mai’s shoulder and comforted him, “There is no need to be worried! Your A Ma is a fortunate one, perhaps she can get better. You should not think about those bad thoughts.”

“Hn!” Lin Mai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and calmed down.

The two of them walked quietly for a while, while Lin Mai was thinking about a lot of things. Just when he was about to get lost in his thoughts, he was suddenly interrupted by someone. He turned around to see that it was Lin Cheng.

At first, Lin Cheng had planned to take a nap but then he remembered that the grass in the field had not completely been removed, so he went out of the house carrying a hoe with him. As soon as he turned around, he saw Lin Mai and old man Lin walking in front of him so he raised his voice to call Lin Mai.

“Cheng Zi Ge, are you going to the field now?” Lin Mai forced a smile, but the corners of his eyes were red, betraying his current expression.

Lin Cheng looked at old man Lin before he looked at Lin Mai, all of a sudden he guessed what the problem was. He asked urgently, “Mai Zi, has something happened to your A ma?”

“Yo, you, this boy guessed it quite accurately ah! I thought you could only kill pigs all day and sell it for money. I don’t expect that your brain is still cleverly working.” Old man Lin stood by the side, looking at the two of them happily. Since he spoke sarcastically toward Lin Cheng, as if he asked to get a good spanking.

It was too bad that Lin Cheng had long since become immune to this shameless behavior of his. He just smiled at him before turning to Lin Mai and said, “If you have any problems, just search for me. Don’t be afraid and say you owe someone a favour or something like that.”

Lin Mai just smiled but didn’t say anything. Instead, the old man Lin’s face turned into a chrysanthemum. He grunted coldly and turned his head as he walked away.

Lin Cheng also did not care, as he followed Lin Mai and walked behind him. The three of them were talking and laughing so the atmosphere was not that heavy anymore …
