In his view, he had done absolutely nothing, yet he received such a huge sum of money.
He felt unworthy of it.
"He ans a lot to . You helped find him, which was an imnse help, so this money is your due. Don’t feel burdened."
With her words, the young man finally accepted with peace of mind: "Alright then, if you ever need anything, just call . I’ll help if I can."
"You have such a kind heart," Fan Rou smiled gratefully, "Thank you."
After the young man left, Fan Rou took out another stack of money and gave it to the young girl: "Thank you for saving him."
"It’s too much, and I didn’t do much." The place is remote, with no hospitals, not even a clinic.
She couldn’t take him to town for treatnt and only applied so herbal redies; those things weren’t worth much money and didn’t require so much.
"Take it." Fan Rou pressed the money into her hands.
The young girl could only accept it, biting her lip shyly: "I’ll go cook now."
Fan Rou picked up an empty basin beside her, filled it with water, and helped Lan Shao wipe his face.
She felt deeply sad, having only now found him after he’d endured so much hardship.
There wasn’t even a doctor here, and no one knew his true condition. If not for his strong will, he might not have survived.
Thinking this, tears rolled down Fan Rou’s cheeks again.
Seeing her distress, Number Five couldn’t help feeling sympathetic. She stood by her side, placing a hand on her shoulder: "Don’t think too much, now that he’s been found, waking up is just a matter of ti."
"Yes, I know. I just feel sorry for him. If it weren’t for , he wouldn’t have..."
"Don’t bla yourself. He won’t bla you, and it was his own doing." If he hadn’t so impulsively insisted on seeing her, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
Though her words made sense, Fan Rou was still saddened.
There wasn’t much more to say, and Number Five didn’t know how to console her, so she stayed by her side.
When the village girl finished cooking, Fan Rou had mostly composed herself.
To welco them, the village girl even killed a chicken and prepared a tomato and egg dish with so greens.
"There’s not much to eat at ho. Please make do," the village girl said, nervously twisting her clothing hem.
The two of them were both fair-skinned, clearly from the city, with an aura that set them apart, and they had just taken out so much money.
The village girl felt they surely weren’t ordinary people. The best thing at ho was the chicken, and it was too late to catch any fish.
The ducks were still young, not yet ready for slaughter, and there was only one chicken, which seed so inadequate.
"It’s already great. I haven’t had at in so long, honestly," Fan Rou said, her voice filled with excitent.
Her tone gave the village girl courage, and she looked up, saying: "This is a chicken I raised myself; it tastes different from those outside. Please try it."
"What are we waiting for? I’ve been looking forward to this," Number Five added.
The three sat down, and with Fan Rou and Number Five appreciating the al, they had a rather pleasant dinner.
Halfway through the al, Fan Rou thought for a mont before asking, "Village girl, Lan Shao, um, the person on the bed, has he ever woken up?"
"No, I found him on the back mountain. At the ti, I was gathering firewood, saw him, and brought him back. I found he still had a pulse, so gave him so herbal dicine."
He’s been hanging by a thread ever since.
Fan Rou lowered her eyes.
