Late night

The Yan family was brought into the space by Yan Shu to visit Yan Huai.

Yan Ersheng stood by the bed, looking at his unconscious third son with a worried look on his face: "Third son, can you hear what dad is saying? You have been in a coma for more than 20 days, why haven't you woken up yet? Wake up soon, it's almost the New Year, and our family is waiting for you to reunite with us."

Yan Wu put his hand on Yan Huai's left shoulder and patted him gently.

"Third brother, without your constant supervision, I have begun to slack off in my martial arts training. As long as you wake up, I promised to give you the scimitar you liked, and I will never break my promise this time."

Yan Wen said, "Third brother, your sister-in-law said that you are a scholar in our family and she wants you to give your eldest nephew a name. You usually care about your studies the most, so you can't fall behind for too long."

Yan Shu stood at the head of the bed, his eyes accidentally swept across the corner of Yan Huai's eyes, and he clearly saw a tear rolling down the corner of his eye.

"Dad, big brother, second brother, third brother can hear what you say. I believe he will try his best to wake up."

Liu Wenniang wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

"Okay, Shu'er said that the air in the ward needs to be well ventilated and that we can't have too many people guarding here. Let's go out first."

After leaving the ward, the family was taken to the dining room by Yan Shu. Seeing the sumptuous meal on the table, the family was a little puzzled.

Yan Wu was the first to ask: "Is today a special day?"

In the past, the family would often cook delicious food in the space, but ever since Yan Huai was injured and unconscious, the whole family has had no time to do anything else, and they haven’t sat together to have a good reunion dinner for a long time.

Yan Shu's eyes swept over everyone present.

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, Second Brother, please sit down first. I have something to discuss with you."

After everyone sat down, Yan Shu looked at everyone and said, "Third brother is no longer in danger of death, but he has not woken up yet. I haven't found the specific reason why he can't wake up. I heard that there is a monk named Hongyi in Taihua Mountain who has excellent medical skills, so I want to take third brother to Taihua Mountain to meet that monk in person. Maybe there is a way to save third brother."

Liu Wenniang looked at Yan Shu and said, "No wonder you asked me about Mount Taihua this morning. If there really is an accomplished monk with excellent medical skills on Mount Taihua, we all want to send your third brother there for treatment. However, Nanyang is too far away from here, and you, a girl, cannot go there alone. We as a family need to discuss this matter carefully."

Yan Wen suggested, "I'll go with my younger sister. Mom, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Xue'er and the child."

Xu Shuangxue gently held Yan Wen's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry about us. My third brother's condition is serious right now. We will feel more at ease if you accompany my younger sister."

"Then I'll go too. My eldest brother and I will accompany my youngest sister, so that we three siblings can have someone to take care of us. Dad, we have a small family, and if my eldest brother and I go on a long journey together, we need a man to look after our home. You should not go to Liu's farm for the time being."

Yan Ersheng nodded and agreed: "There is not much farm work in the fields at this time of year. Your Uncle Dahu will be watching over there so nothing will go wrong. I will take care of the house before you come back."

Yan Shu looked at the family and said, "None of you need to go. Jiang Ci and I have already discussed it. He will personally escort me to Nanyang Prefecture."

Yan Wu said unhappily, "Little sister, why did you let Jiang Ci go with you? If it weren't for him, how could you be hunted by the Grand Princess? Third brother wouldn't have been seriously injured. It's better for us to get away from him as soon as possible."

Yan Ersheng frowned and glared at Yan Wu. "Second brother, you shouldn't blame Erlang for the injury of the third brother. He helped our family a lot on the way to escape the famine. I believe that if he could choose, he would rather take the sword for Shu'er instead of the third brother. People should remember the kindness of others. I don't want to hear you say this again in the future."

Yan Wu said angrily: "Dad, I think Jiang Ci is more important to you than me, your son."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"

"That's right. Whenever Jiang Ci is around, you only have eyes for him. You often compare him with us brothers. When you go out, you brag about him by calling him Erlang. People who don't know would think he's your son."

Yan Ersheng was so angry that his face turned blue. He picked up the chopsticks and pretended to hit Yan Wu on the head. Yan Wu was so scared that he hurriedly stood up and hid far away, still glaring at Yan Ersheng with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"I'm right! We can't let my little sister and third brother die for Jiang Ci just because he protected us on the way out of the famine, right? It's dangerous to stay with Jiang Ci, and the third brother hasn't woken up yet, and I don't want my little sister to get hurt again."

Yan Shu tried to persuade him, "Dad, my second brother is also worried about my safety, but you are right. Without Jiang Ci, our family and the refugee team would not have been able to reach Xinyang Prefecture so smoothly. My second brother, I asked Jiang Ci for help in going to Nanyang Prefecture this time. He is a great martial artist, and it would be safer for me to follow him. Besides, I still have this space. If I really encounter danger, I can hide here temporarily. Don't worry about me."

Liu Wenniang glanced at Yan Shu and knew that her daughter was a person with her own ideas.

"You two should stop arguing and listen to Shu'er. I think what she said makes sense. All of you combined are no match for Erlang, not to mention that he has so many guards following him. It's more reliable to ask him to send Shu'er to Nanyang Prefecture than you guys. The food is getting cold, so let's eat."

Yan Ersheng glared at Yan Wu, and seeing that Yan Wu was still standing there motionless, he snorted coldly, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Didn't you hear what your mother said?"

Yan Wu glanced at the pair of chopsticks in Yan Ersheng's hand.

"I'm afraid you'll attack me when I sit down to eat?"

"Bah! I'm your father. If I want to beat you up, I'll just find a stick and beat you hard. Why would I need to sneak attack you?"

The father and son looked like a pair of funny guys when they were bickering, and the unhappiness just now seemed to disappear in an instant.
