Mid-Levels Farm

This day, Sheng Wuyu spent most of his time in bed, occasionally reading a book in a foreign language, sometimes listening to music with his eyes closed, the autumn rain outside the window intermittently, when he was in good spirits he would play the piano for a while.

Xuan Xiaodong can hear the sound of the piano while pulling weeds in the vegetable field. The ding ding dong dong is like running water, but it is very short, as if he is just trying to show himself normal.

Sheng Wuyu didn't eat much at lunch or dinner, and after taking his temperature, he only had a low-grade fever, but Xuan Xiaodong could tell that he was really suffering.

When he was picking up the dinner plate, he saw Sheng Wuyu frowned with his eyes closed, lying motionless on the head of the bed, as if he was extremely tired.

His forehead is wet, he should have sweated a lot, his skin is so pale that it is almost transparent, his light blue veins can be seen, his long and dense eyelashes cover his eyes, his breathing is extremely light, his wrists are resting on the quilt, and his wrist bones are lonely Protruding, showing thinness.

Xuan Xiaodong lowered his head and asked him, "Mr. Sheng."

Sheng Wuyu opened his eyes and looked at him without answering, as if he had exhausted all his strength after coping with the day, Xuan Xiaodong whispered: "I pulled some wormwood and boiled some water, let me take a bath for you ? In our country, children have a fever and can take a bath with wormwood. Do you want to try it? It will be very comfortable and relieve muscle soreness. If you are not feeling well, I will carry you there."

Sheng Wuyu has always rejected life assistants and medical assistants. In terms of his financial conditions, he could have received the best care and care, but he refused all help from relatives and assistants.

As Cai Zhonglin said, he refused to expose his weakness of being unable to walk to anyone. He did everything by himself, and he tried hard to prove to the world that he could be the same as before he was paralyzed.

He can indeed use the nursing bed and wheelchair, as well as the advanced bathroom facilities, to independently complete all actions such as getting out of bed and washing. The low-grade fever made him sweat a lot, and his skin was sticky. He needed a warm bath and changed to a new set. Comfortable clothes, and change all the quilts on the bed, throw them into the fully automatic washing machine, wash and dry them all.

He can do it himself, but he's tired now.

Sheng Wuyu stared fixedly at Xuan Xiaodong, his eyes were as clear as spring water, looking at him with concern but caution.

This kind of caring and compassionate gaze from relatives, friends, and strangers used to be a thorn to him, and he hated this kind of gaze.

But at this moment he didn't feel uncomfortable.It was already evening outside the window, and the autumn rain started again, pattering, the whole world was so quiet that only the sound of rain was left, and the mountains and trees in the distance were all wet. It seemed that only he and the person opposite were left in this world. Can be covered up.

The low fever made him weak, he didn't want to do anything at the moment, he wanted to be taken care of by someone, and in front of this person, giving up his posture of being a strong person didn't make him resist so much, because he knew that the other person seemed to be full of guilt, with a gentle tone All of it was carefully poured on him, for that inexplicable sense of atonement, the other party could take good care of him, he knew that as long as he accepted it.

He said softly: "Okay."

Xuan Xiaodong went out, and after a while, she came in with two large wooden barrels in one hand and went straight to the bathroom. Sheng Wuyu heard the sound of rushing water, and then a scent of mugwort leaves lingered in the bathroom. , so that his somewhat stuffy chest couldn't help but cheer up.

Xuan Xiaodong walked in and asked him, "The water is ready."

Sheng Wuyu said, "I'm sorry to trouble you." He stretched out his hand and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his pale skin, which was actually not thin. After all, he had never stopped exercising, but showing his skin in front of outsiders would make him somewhat uncomfortable.

Xuan Xiaodong stepped forward to help him loosen his trousers silently, and then hugged him to stand up. His arms were so stable that Sheng Wuyu didn't feel unsafe when he leaned in his arms, walking easily and steadily— ——This relieved him a lot of psychological burden, and he was unwilling to cause trouble to others when he refused help from others, but the other party had been trained for a long time and had amazing arm strength.

It was embarrassing to be hugged naked in someone else's arms like a baby, but the other person's movements were too fast and steady. There were some fresh mint and perilla leaves floating, and the dark water covered his skin so that the fine lines would not be visible, which made him feel at ease and relaxed.

Accepting care was not as embarrassing and embarrassing as Sheng Wuyu thought.

There is a fixed waist protector near the waist of the bathtub. He reached out to buckle the waist protector, put his hands in the grooves on both sides, leaned back, and rested his head comfortably on the edge of the bathtub.

Xuan Xiaodong said: "I also added some basil and mint, so that the fragrance will be more comfortable. I'll wash your hair for you."

He took a small wooden stool and sat at the back of the bathtub, resting one hand on the back of his head, and brushing his hair with the other. When Sheng Wuyu's scalp was touched by his fingers, he immediately felt a tingling numbness. His back jumped up, his body trembled slightly, but Xuan Xiaodong didn't pay attention, he just took a spoonful of warm water from the bucket next to him and poured it slowly on top of his head, wet his hair, and the warm water flowed down from the top of his head, Drenching his entire head, Sheng Wuyu felt so comfortable that he almost shivered.

Xuan Xiaodong took a spoonful of ointment from the side and massaged it for him: "I made the camellia seed ointment myself. My grandpa said that it can also prevent hair loss, and it is also useful for colds and headaches."

He rubbed Sheng Wuyu's hair with his big palm, and after washing it, he took moxa water to rinse him off, and took a towel to dry his hair carefully.Sheng Wuyu kept his eyes closed and didn't speak, his whole body was flushed, as if all the pores of his whole body had been opened, and it was extremely comfortable and relaxing to soak in the bathtub.

After soaking for about 10 minutes, Xuan Xiaodong drained the water in the bathtub, took Sheng Wuyu to dry with a large towel, carried him back to the bed, quickly and cleanly put on all the pajamas for him, and took the quilt Cover him up, dry his hair, and head back to the bathroom to freshen up the bathroom.

In fact, the bathroom has self-cleaning equipment, but Sheng Wuyu's warm eyelids could hardly be opened, and he fell asleep almost instantly while lying on the bed, as if Xuan Xiaodong had come to take his temperature and forehead temperature in a daze The instrument was pasted on his forehead, and with a beeping sound, he became slightly clear, but the drowsiness soon surged up again, and the fragrance of wormwood wrapped him softly, and he fell into a dreamland relaxedly .

At dawn the next day, Sheng Wuyu woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the light blue sky outside the window, the rain had stopped, and the birds were jumping on the trees.

His whole body is relaxed, the fever should be gone - not only that, he feels that he is now full of energy and relaxed like never before.

There was a light knock on the door, and he suddenly closed his eyes.

Sure enough, the other party hesitated for a while, but still opened the door and came in. When he came to see that his eyes were still closed, he stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, with the fragrance of grass and leaves in his palm. Did he go to pull the wormwood again in the morning?

Xuan Xiaodong did go to the mountain early in the morning to pluck a basket of wormwood and came back to wash it and put it aside to dry for later use.He came over and touched his forehead and felt that Sheng Wuyu's fever should have subsided. He pressed the quilt for him, retracted his hands under the quilt, closed the curtains that opened automatically in the past, and the bedroom was once again plunged into darkness. Darkness, this should allow Sheng Wuyu to sleep more peacefully.

Xuan Xiaodong thought about it and went out again, closed the door gently, and went to make breakfast - but there was a fresh smell of autumn rain in the air, mixed with the fragrance of flowers.

Sheng Wuyu opened his eyes in the dark, turned his head and looked at the low cabinet, and sure enough there was a handful of gardenias there, he couldn't help laughing, this feeling of being cared for and taken care of by others is not bad .
