Chapter 153 – Threatening (6)
“Oh.” As Li Shu walked across the courtyard, he asked, “Wife, do you want anything? I’ll bring it back for you from the market.”
Li Man shook her head. “No, there’s nothing. Don’t rush. Take your ti walking.”
Hearing that wife was concerned about him, Li Shu grinned. “I know.”
Li Man stood underneath the eaves and watched as the two people left ho. It was only after they had walked far away that she returned to her senses. She went to the kitchen to eat her breakfast.
They had probably already eaten much earlier. Her portion of the food had been transferred to a large bowl and was kept warm inside the pot. When she took it out, it was still warm.
After eating breakfast and washing her bowl, she went over to the eastern hut to check on Li Mo. He was still lying on his stomach and Little Five was unraveling the bandage for him.
“Let do it.” Seeing Little Five’s clumsy movents, Li Man quickly went over.
Li Mo blankly looked at her before quickly recovering and saying, “Little Five can do it.” When he had been injured in the past, Little Five had helped him with similar tasks many tis.
As Li Man untied the bandage, she ordered Little Five, “Little Five, bring over the dicine.”
“En.” Little Five went over to the wardrobe, brought back the bottle, and handed it to Li Man.
Li Man opened it and sniffed the contents. She suddenly thought of sothing and hastily put down the bottle of dicine. “Oldest brother, wait for please. Little Five, co with to catch up to your fourth brother.”
Startled, Li Mo asked, “What’s wrong?”
However, Li Man had already pulled Little Five along with her as she ran out.
Because Li Shu was pushing a small cart, Li Shu and Li Hua weren’t walking fast. In addition, they soon heard Little Five calling to them, so they were stopped before reaching the village’s entrance.
Seeing Li Man gasping for breath, Li Hua worriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Don’t worry. I’m okay.” Seeing his worried expression, Li Man quickly waved her hand. After her breathing was back to normal, she continued, “I know a prescription. I need so dicine for it. When you get to the market, ask a herbal pharmacist if they have it. Have Li Shu bring it back.”
“Prescription?” Li Hua was very doubtful. “What’s dicine do you want?”
Li Man casually listed out a few. Li Hua wasn’t familiar with dicine, but he rembered all the items that Li Man requested.
Li Shu felt utterly baffled hearing these words. “Are all those things dicine?”
“En.” Li Man looked at Li Hua and asked, “Do you rember all of that? Do you want to write it down for you?”
“No need.” Li Hua was very confident about his mory. “You can go back. After I buy them, third brother will bring them back.”
“That’s good. Be careful on the road, also -” Thinking of the caring words he had said to her last night, Li Man naturally felt concerned for him too. “You’re going to be away from ho by yourself. Be sure to take good care of yourself.”
Li Hua smiled. “Okay!”
His smile seed to be sowhat aningful, and Li Man felt embarrassed. Holding Little Five’s hand, she said, “Let’s go back. Oldest brother is ho by himself.”
—
Li Man and Little Five walked back ho while holding hands. They ca back at the right ti to see Li Mo hastily heading out with an outer upper garnt draped over his shoulders.
“Why did you co out?” Shocked, Li Man let go of Little Five’s hand and ran over. “You’re hurt.”
“Are you okay?” Li Mo looked at her in worry.
Li Man was sowhat annoyed with herself for not thinking things through before acting. She supported Li Mo and answered, “I’m fine. Let’s go back inside.”
“Then before -” Li Mo was still worried.
Li Man comfortingly smiled at him. “There were a few things that I wanted to buy, so I ran out to tell Li Hua about it.”
“Oh.” So, it was just that. It was fine as long as she didn’t want to leave.
