After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

What Wen Baizhi meant by saying this was also what she told herself in her heart.

After that, she would take everything about Si Jiu to heart.

Si Jiu is as well-behaved as a little chick.

He didn't say anything until his hair was dry.

After Wen Baizhi dried his hair, she thought of the porridge that was brought to him for him to eat.

"Are you going to eat the porridge?"

Si Jiu actually couldn’t eat it.

He said he wanted to eat at that time but it was just an excuse to get Wen Baizhi away.

In fact, he could have told her that he still wanted to eat.

But he was worried that after eating it, it would destroy the physical condition that he had worked so hard to maintain and that did not cause much pain.

So he shook his head honestly: "I'm not hungry anymore. I don't want to eat."

Wen Baizhi guessed that he would say that, so she stood up and walked towards the door.

Si Jiu thought she was angry, ignoring him, and was about to leave again, so he instinctively got out of bed, put on his shoes, and followed her.

Before Wen Baizhi reached the door, she noticed movement behind her.

When she turned around, she saw Si Jiu swaying his body and walking towards her with unsteady steps.

She hurried to support him: "Why did you get out of bed? You are still very weak."

Si Jiu certainly knew that he was very weak now.

But he just couldn't control his body.

He just wanted to follow her.

"I, I don't know where you are going." Si Jiu's hands tightly clung to Wen Baizhi's arm.

Wen Baizhi led him to the bed: "It's my fault for not telling you clearly. I was going to get you some roasted sweet potatoes. From now on, I will tell you where I go and I won't let you be so confused and scared again."

As she spoke, Si Jiu was pushed down by her to sit on the bed: "Just wait here for me, I'll get my things and come back to find you."

"it is good."

Waiting is what he is best at doing.

Wen Baizhi was afraid that he would have to wait too long, so she almost jogged back and forth.

This sweet potato was discovered by her and Cuizhi by accident in the Governor's Mansion.

Because of the poor harvest in Jinzhou, sweet potatoes are actually a staple food that is very filling and easy to grow.

She checked the county annals of Jinzhou and found that there was no tradition of growing sweet potatoes there.

I didn't even know that sweet potatoes existed.

That's why she wanted to bring more sweet potatoes, so that she could plant them when she arrived in Jinzhou, which might solve the current urgent problem.

She brought a lot of sweet potatoes, so she asked Cuizhi to roast a few for her in the kitchen stove tonight.

She now came to Si Jiu with the roasted sweet potatoes.

When she came back with the sweet potatoes, she found that Si Jiu was still maintaining the same movements and postures as before she left.

Just sit obediently on the edge of the bed.

Even the curvature of the spine did not change.

Wen Baizhi felt inexplicably sad.

Perhaps this was how he felt during the past three years when he was waiting hopelessly for Wen Bai.

But fortunately, she came back.

She brought back three sweet potatoes.

Two small ones and one big one.

Naturally, she would eat the big one.

It’s not that she didn’t want to give Si Jiu food, but she was worried that Si Jiu’s stomach was not as good as that of ordinary people.

It would be bad if you feel uncomfortable after eating it.

The sweet potatoes are no longer as hot as when they were just baked, and they are just the right temperature when you hold them in your hand.

After testing the temperature, she handed the sweet potato to Si Jiu.

Si Jiu had never eaten this thing before, so he took it with a little doubt.

Wen Baizhi naturally knew that he had never eaten it.

She slowly peeled the sweet potato skin: "You need to peel this skin first, like me."

In fact, Wen Baizhi could just peel the skin and give it to him to eat.

But she just wanted him to fully experience everything in the world that he had not tried.

Si Jiu followed her example and peeled off the skin, revealing the yellow flesh inside.

It was still steaming inside and looked very sweet.

Wen Baizhi had also peeled the skin on her hand. She blew on it and took a bite.

"delicious."

When Si Jiu was about to take a bite, Wen Baizhi reminded him, "Blow it before you eat it, especially the inside, the deeper it is, the hotter it will be."

Si Jiu also blew on it before eating.

Wen Baizhi described the taste to him as usual.

"It's very sweet. You know what lava is? It's like there's a lava core inside, constantly sending heat and sweetness into your mouth. When it goes into your stomach, it also makes you feel very warm. It turns out that you have to eat roasted sweet potatoes in autumn and winter."

Si Jiu couldn't taste it, but he could see Wen Baizhi's expression.

When she is happy, he is happy.

It's that simple.

In the end, Wen Baizhi finished eating two sweet potatoes, one big and one small.

Si Jiu also finished eating all the sweet potatoes.

Originally, Wen Baizhi didn't want him to eat so much.

After all, eating too much will make his stomach bloated, and she was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.

But just when she was about to take the sweet potato away, Si Jiu looked up at her pitifully.

"I haven't eaten in three days."

After hearing just this one sentence, Wen Baizhi was completely defeated.

"Eat, eat."

At worst, if he has stomachache after eating, she can just rub it for him.

Such a poor kid, he hasn’t eaten for three days, so naturally we gave him whatever he wanted to eat.

After both of them had eaten their fill, Wen Baizhi fed Si Jiu some water.

"As long as the food in one's stomach is warm, one's whole body will be warm, and one's mood will be warm. This may be the meaning of "food is the first necessity of the people."

Wen Baizhi was giving her explanation while Si Jiu was looking at her seriously.

Everything she said was right.

Si Jiu thought so.

Finally it's time to go to bed.

They arrived at the post station at dusk.

After all the trouble, it is already late at night.

After Si Jiu felt better, Wen Baizhi's tiredness, which she had deliberately concealed, came out after she had eaten and drunk her fill.

She slept in it as usual.

Not long after she lay down, Si Jiu also lay down in the quilt and slept next to her.

As soon as he lay down, Wen Baizhi reached out and placed her hand on his stomach.

"You ate too much at night. I'll put my hand on your stomach. If you have any problems, I can find out in time."

Si Jiu said nothing, feeling the warmth of her palm.

It is warmer than the glass bottle filled with hot water.

The glass bottle was placed at his feet by Wen Baizhi at this time.

He refused at first, as he thought his feet would get dirty from walking all the time, and would also soil the glass bottle she had carefully prepared.

But Wen Baizhi told him that the cold starts from the feet, and he needs to keep his feet warm.

Besides, he had taken a shower and even wore socks to sleep, so his feet were not dirty.

Most importantly, she brought a lot of glass bottles, which could be used to warm his feet when he slept.

After she gave all the reasons, Si Jiu had nothing to refute.

Wen Baizhi was very sleepy, so she said good night to him and fell asleep.

Si Jiu listened to her even breathing and waited silently for a while.

After confirming that she was really asleep.

He placed his hand on the back of hers.

"Go to sleep," he said, feeling very satisfied at the moment, "thank you."

Thank you for everything, everything.
