The Zhou family fell.
Zhuang Yan, who had been lying in bed for two days, breathed steadily and heavily under the careful care of the Zhou sisters.
At this moment, Zhou Ning was half-squatting by the bed and feeding Zhuang Yan fish soup with a spoon.
The Zhou family was not a wealthy family. The most nutritious thing they could provide was fish soup. Over the past two days, it was this spoonful of soup that allowed Zhuang Yan to slowly recover his lost vitality.
The warm soup flowed down his throat and into Zhuang Yan's stomach.
Before this, he felt as if he had been frozen by a layer of ice while he was in deep sleep. A deadly chill assaulted him in waves.
However, one day, it was as if a hot spring had appeared out of thin air. It continuously sprayed on the ice and gradually melted it. A comfortable warmth was transmitted to Zhuang Yan's body, causing his consciousness that had sunk into the cold darkness to gradually awaken.
When the ice melted, Zhuang Yan finally felt as if he had climbed up from hell to the human world and was filled with life.
The warm sunlight shone on his face, and it was a little blinding. His eyelids trembled slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to block the sunlight. However, just as he raised his hand, he weakly put it down.
His body was still a little weak.
Zhuang Yan had no choice but to turn his head to the side. He opened his eyes slightly and saw a cute smiling face staring at him with wide eyes.
"You're awake, brother. You, brother, you're awake?”Zhou Ning said incoherently.
Zhuang Yan understood that he was saved by someone. With gratitude, he forced a smile and said,"Yes, little girl, you saved me?”
Zhou Ning nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook her head. Like a rattle drum, she waved her small hand and said,"It wasn't me, it wasn't me. It was sister who saved you.”
"Sister?" Zhuang Yan then noticed that the girl in front of him was only eleven or twelve years old, so she should not have the ability to save him. He thought to himself that he was confused and continued,"What about your sister?"
" Sister went out to fish. She should be back soon. Brother, how did you…" Perhaps it was because she had taken care of Zhuang Yan for two days, but Zhou Ning was not afraid of life. She chattered and asked Zhuang Yan about the reason for his injury.
As he chatted with Zhou Ning, Zhuang Yan's spirit slowly recovered. With her help, he leaned his pillow against the edge of the bed and sat up.
After a while, Zhou Ning realized that Zhuang Yan was still a patient. She stopped chattering and did not continue to release the curiosity and energy of a little girl in Zhuang Yan's ear. She only told him to rest first and she would go get him something to eat.
After Zhou Ning left, Zhuang Yan circulated his weak zhenqi to check on his injuries. He found that the injuries in his internal organs had already healed. The reason why he was still very weak was probably due to the loss of vitality.
Immediately, he used both his hands and feet to adjust his body into a cross-legged position. He then operated the Primitive Scripture in a calm manner, hoping to recover his physical strength as soon as possible.
After all, he still did not know where he was and how far he was from the previous battlefield. If he was found by the Lu family in his current state, he would not even have the ability to escape.
。。。
On the other side, the kitchen was constantly tinkling, accompanied by the little girl's exclamations from time to time.
Zhuang Yan was immersed in his cultivation and did not hear her. Otherwise, he would have guessed what a pathetic and funny scene it was for an eleven or twelve-year-old girl to be cooking in the kitchen.
At this moment, there was movement from outside the house. It seemed like someone had entered the courtyard. There were a few clangs of things being placed on the ground. Then, with a bang, the door of the house was pushed open. Immediately after, Zhou Yao's slightly anxious voice sounded,"Cough cough cough ~ Ning, what happened? Cough ~ Why is there so much smoke?”
Before Zhou Yao could enter, she saw a petite figure escape from the kitchen and run to the door. Her face was black and white from the smoke, and her eyes were red from the smoke. Tears welled up from time to time.
Zhou Yao grabbed Zhou Ning and asked nervously,""Xiaoning, are you okay? What happened?"
Zhou Ning rubbed her eyes and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She did not notice that the cigarette ash in her hand had drawn two black circles on her face.
"Sister, that brother woke up. I wanted to make him something to eat, and then, and then.。。”
As she spoke, her voice became as low as the buzzing of a mosquito. Clearly, she felt a little ashamed and even stuck out her tongue.
After hearing her sister's description and guessing what had happened, Zhou Yao finally felt relieved.
Although Zhou Ning came from a poor family, Zhou Yao, as her elder sister, had always taken good care of her all these years. She had never asked her to cook. She usually only helped out. It was indeed a little difficult for her to cook alone.
Looking at the thick smoke that filled the room, Zhou Yao reached out to rub her sister's head and scolded,""You little fool, you're almost as tall as me, you don't even know how to start a fire!"
Wait a minute...
Suddenly, Zhou Yao reacted. Zhou Ning had just said that her brother had woken up. She asked with some uncertainty,"You said,'That brother is awakening'."
Before Zhou Ning could reply, she thought to herself, Oh no!
Looking at the thick smoke in the room, if the heavily injured person was caught in the smoke, with his body that had yet to recover, would it affect his injuries?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yao could not care less about the cigarette in the room. She hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve and rushed to the bedroom. She pushed the door open and said,""Young master, are you alright?"
After pushing open the door, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. She saw that as the Primitive Scripture circulated, the Qi of Heaven and Earth kept pouring into Zhuang Yan's body. At a close distance, she could see wisps of light belts surrounding him.
She stood at the door in a daze. She could not understand what she was seeing. She did not even realize that Zhou Ning had come behind her.
" Cough, cough." A few wisps of smoke drifted into Zhou Yao's nostrils. The pungent smell caused a burst of coughing, and she came back to her senses.
A few coughs interrupted Zhuang Yan's cultivation. He opened his eyes and saw a slender woman standing at the door, covering her mouth and nose as she looked at him. Behind her was Zhou Ning, who had her head shrunk.
Just as he was about to speak, he realized that his surroundings were shrouded in thick smoke. He frowned slightly and waved his sleeve. The thin Genuine Qi in his body surged out, bringing with it a few wisps of wind that swept away all the smoke.
The Zhou Sisters looked at the smoke that had cleared out of the house and were so shocked that they could not close their mouths.
"You're so awesome! Brother is so awesome!" After chatting with Zhuang Yan for a long time, Zhou Ning was not restrained at all. She clapped her hands and shouted happily.
Zhou Yao patted her sister's shoulder twice to stop her excitement. She then greeted Zhuang Yan politely,""Young Master, how is your body?"
"He's fine." As he spoke, Zhuang Yan got off the bed and slowly bowed deeply. He continued,"I am Zhuang Yan, and I thank you for saving my life.”
Zhou Yao was a little shy after being thanked by someone. Her hands were stiff, and she didn't know if she should go up and help Zhuang Yan up. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she just hid to the side and didn't dare to accept the greeting.
"Young Master, you don't have to be so polite. If it were anyone else, they would also save him. I only did what I should have done. Oh. By the way, my name is Zhou Yao. This is my sister, Zhou Yao. Young Master, you rest first. I'll go cook.”
As she spoke, she took Zhou Ning's hand and pulled her out before closing the door.
Zhuang Yan scratched his head, wondering why Zhou Yao was avoiding him. He couldn't figure out what she meant.
However, he quickly threw this thought out of his mind. He did not dwell on these trivial matters anymore and continued to sit cross-legged to heal his injuries.
