After Wu Luoluo silently arranged the accommodation in her mind, she looked down at the man with a flushed face in the copper pot and felt secretly puzzled.
That man didn't even seem to be breathing, but how could he give off heat from inside out? Even his forehead was constantly sweating!
Could it be that he had come back to life?
Wu Luoluo quickly reached out to feel his pulse. With this touch, she clearly felt that the man's pulse was slightly beating! Although it was extremely weak and slow, it was struggling bit by bit back from the brink of death!
Wu Luoluo couldn't help feeling overjoyed and couldn't help marveling. Her efforts hadn't been in vain! The dead man who had been completely cold actually showed a glimmer of life after acupuncture and the medicinal bath!
This was really great!
It was estimated that he had soaked in the copper pot for about two hours, and the medicinal soup in the copper pot had slowly cooled down a bit. Wu Luoluo got up to get a towel and put it aside, then reached out to fish out the man in the copper pot. The man was so swollen and heavy that she couldn't even hold him. Wu Luoluo had to find a hemp rope, pass it through his ribs and tie it well, then pass it through the beam of the house and drag the man in the copper pot out step by step.
Shangguan Yun was sweating profusely and was as red as a cooked shrimp all over. Wu Luoluo pulled the hemp rope with all her might and dragged him out. The ragged cloth that covered his private parts couldn't hold on any longer and slipped off. Wu Luoluo blushed a little, quickly picked up the towel to wrap him up and dry him, then half - dragged and half - carried him into her quilt.
After doing all this, Wu Luoluo was gasping for breath like a dog. She raised her eyes and sized up the man lying on the bed. The man who had been swollen all over seemed to have swollen less. Only then did Wu Luoluo see clearly that he had an extremely handsome face. The proportion of his facial features was just right. His long eyelashes were as thick as a fan and were gently closed. His side profile was so beautiful that one couldn't take one's eyes off it.
Wu Luoluo inexplicably felt her heart beating suddenly faster. She thought that perhaps even the most handsome man in Xiliang would be far inferior to him and would have to admit defeat.
Wu Luoluo untied Shangguan Yun's hair bun and used a clean towel to dry his hair bit by bit. She reached out and felt his head. Sure enough, there was a silver needle inserted in the Baihui acupoint. Wu Luoluo secretly thought that she should be more careful when combing his hair and drying it in the future and try not to touch this place as much as possible.
The sky quickly darkened. Wu Luoluo went to the door and looked around for a long time. The outside of the mountain was boundless, and there was no one in sight. Her master - wife and senior brother still showed no sign of coming back. Wu Luoluo had to sigh silently and went back to clean the room she had lived in before.
Soon, Wu Luoluo was in a bit of a dilemma because there weren't enough quilts. There was only an extra mattress left in the cabinet.
Naturally, she couldn't touch the soft and fluffy quilts in her master - wife's room. If her master - wife found out later, she would scold her half to death! She couldn't sleep in the quilt on her senior brother's bed either. Her senior brother was too lazy to wash and sun the bedding all year round. The bedding on the bed was so hard that it might as well have calluses. She didn't want to touch his moldy quilt!
After thinking for a long time, Wu Luoluo had to carry some clean thatch and spread it on the bed board. She planned to wrap herself up in the mattress and make do for a few days. She lit a brazier in the room. She thought it shouldn't be too cold.
The wooden window was in disrepair. Although the brazier in the room was burning vigorously, it couldn't stop the cold mountain wind from seeping in everywhere. Wu Luoluo wrapped herself in the quilt and shivered for a long time but still felt cold all over. She just couldn't get warm no matter how she slept. She sighed silently. She didn't know how the man in the wood - shed was. He was unconscious and couldn't even say if he was cold. She had to go and see if she should add a charcoal brazier for him.
Wu Luoluo put on her clothes and pushed open the door of the wood - shed. She fumbled to light the oil lamp. In the dim light, Shangguan Yun's extremely delicate side profile was so beautiful that one couldn't take one's eyes off it. Wu Luoluo stood there stupidly looking at him. She couldn't help sighing in her heart. How could there be such a handsome man in this world!
Wu Luoluo involuntarily reached out and gently touched his face. His eyelashes were as thick as a fan, and his skin was as cold as jade. Wu Luoluo secretly sighed in her heart. This peerless face must have bewitched the hearts of many women! Even she just wanted to look at him quietly and do nothing.
Wu Luoluo pinched her own face and scolded herself hard in her heart. Wu Luoluo, what are you thinking about? Judging from his appearance, he must be a rich young master who is used to a life of comfort and has an extraordinary bearing. How could a country girl like you ever be able to marry into his family?
Wu Luoluo touched her own face a little dejectedly. After getting smallpox when she was a child, she had left a large and ugly patch of pockmarks on her left face and back. She had been pointed at and laughed at a lot. So, later on, she didn't really want to show up in the market anymore. When she really had to go down the mountain to buy things, she would also wear a veiled hat to block people's sight.
If this young master woke up and saw how ugly she was, he would probably be disgusted with her!
Wu Luoluo stopped daydreaming. She reached out to feel his arm in the quilt. His arm felt really good. The lines were smooth and the muscles were well - defined. Just now, due to the medicinal water, Shangguan Yun had been extremely hot all over. Now the temperature was slowly dropping, and he had returned to normal. Wu Luoluo felt the other arm against the wall again and found that the inside arm of Shangguan Yun was obviously much colder than the outside one. She then reached out to feel his feet. His feet were actually as cold as ice!
What should she do! He mustn't catch a cold!
After much hesitation, Wu Luoluo moved a brazier and placed it at the foot of his bed. She also carried a mattress and covered Shangguan Yun with it. She quietly took off her outer clothes and climbed into the foot of the bed and lay down.
The bed was very narrow. It was obviously a bit crowded for two people to sleep in it. Wu Luoluo hugged Shangguan Yun's cold feet tightly and silently warmed him with her own body temperature. Her back was cold against the wall, so she had to arch closer to him and almost squeezed him out of the bed.
Fortunately, they were covered with two mattresses and the two of them were tightly crowded together. Shangguan Yun's cold feet gradually became warm, and his body also slowly warmed up.
That night, Wu Luoluo slept extremely soundly.
When she woke up in the morning and felt a pair of feet in the quilt, Wu Luoluo just remembered that there was still a patient in the quilt. She quickly turned over and reached out to feel Shangguan Yun's face and neck. Seeing that his body was slightly warm, she finally felt relieved. Wu Luoluo then grabbed his wrist to feel his pulse. His pulse was obviously much stronger than yesterday. Wu Luoluo was overjoyed. Judging from this situation, it wouldn't be long before this patient woke up! She happily turned over and got out of bed to wash up.
There were still some sweet potatoes and radishes in the cellar. Why not go down and pick a white radish to stew a delicious fish - head soup!
Without hesitation, Wu Luoluo first went to the cellar to pick two white radishes, washed them and sliced them. Then she built a fire in the firewood stove until the iron pot was glowing red. The fish oil in the fish's belly was white and glistening. She took it out and threw it into the pot to fry. Then she put the fish head into the pot and fried it until both sides were golden. Then she put two pieces of fermented bean curd into the pot and stir - fried until fragrant. Then she added a basin of well water and brought it to a boil over high heat. She put the sliced white radishes into the pot and covered the pot with a lid. The fragrance wafted straight into her nostrils, making Wu Luoluo involuntarily swallow her saliva.
