Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If he wanted to do something bad, he had to do it big. Once was enough to make Liu Sanniang angry and hate him.
With this thought in mind, Lin Jie returned to the bed and covered himself with the blanker. There was a water bag under rhe blanket, so ir was still very warm. The water bag was made of cowhide, so ir retained heat very well. His frozen limbs quickly felt warm.
He no longer needed to sleep. He closed his eyes and his body gradually relaxed because of the warm temperature.
Ever since he lost his family, he was immersed in pain and hatred every day. In the past, all he thought about was taking revenge. Now, when he closed his eyes, Madam Wei s gentle smile would appear in his mind.
The clothes he was wearing now were all made by Liu Sanniang. In a daze, Lin Jie felt as if he had fallen asleep. This was unbelievable. In rhe darkness, he opened his eyes and rubbed them. He felt like he had just woken up.
He closed his eyes again. Nor long after, he felr sleepy again. This time, he did not open his eyes. Instead, he let himself drift into slumber.
Ir snowed in the latter half of rhe night, so when he woke up the next day, he pushed open the door and saw a layer of snow in the courtyard.
Lin Jie squatted down and began to make snowballs.
Madam Wei came out of the kitchen and instructed, ’’Go into the house and warm yourself by the fire. Don’t catch a cold.”
Lin Jie nodded at Madam Wei. ’’Okay.”
Madam Wei cooked a fragrant fish porridge.
After eating the porridge, Madam Wei left.
Mr. Liu also went out. Liu Sanniang starred teaching Lin Jie to make talismans.
Liu Da la ng and Tang An were still under the blanket. Tang An was very embarrassed. “We should ger up.”
She had never slept for so long. According to rhe time, it was almost noon. She was not hungry, but she felt embarrassed.
Liu Dalang placed his hand on Tang An’s stomach. The bulging stomach was nurturing his child. Liu Dalang felt his heart soften. He knew very well how dangerous his injury was that time. At the thought that he almost couldn’t come back alive, he wanted to lie with Tang An for a while longer.
The child in rhe stomach seemed to have felt Liu Dalang’s hand and rolled around to make himself noticed.
“An, it’s been hard on you.”
Liu Dalang said in a hoarse voice. Fortunately, he survived.
Tang An leaned into Liu Dalang’s arms and listened to his strong heartbeat. She felt like she was soaking in a spring.
“It’s nor hard on me. It’s hard on you.”
There were many scars on Liu Dalang’s body. When she touched him, she wanted to cry. Scars meant bleeding. How painful was that?
Tang An felt a lump in her throat. Sometimes, she could not understand why she was so lucky to meet Liu Dalang.
Liu Dalang kissed Tang An’s forehead and said, “Let’s ger up. You haven’t eaten for so long, so you must be feeling hungry.”
Tang An hugged Liu Dalang and whispered, “Dalang, 1 love you.”
Liu Dalang felt sweet inside. “Me too.”
The two of them got up. Their parents had gone out. Lin Jie was learning to draw talismans. The fish porridge in the pot was still warm.
After breakfast, Liu Dalang cleaned up the dishes.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door. Tang An went to open the door. It was Ye Niuniu.
Tang An quickly pulled Ye Niuniu into the house and asked, “Niuniu, have you eaten?”
Ye Niuniu smiled and said, “I did. Sister-in-law, 1 heard that Eldest Brother is back. 1 want to see if Erlang is back.”
The two of them were already engaged and were about to get married. Ye Niuniu already treated Liu Erlang as her husband. She was also very worried that Liu Erlang would not be able to come back from the war.
Tang An looked at Ye Niuniu’s worried expression and comforted her, “Don’t worry, Second Brother isn’t on the same team as Dalang, so he’ll be back a little late, but he’ll be home eventually.”
When Liu Dalang heard the conversation, he echoed, “Yes, he’ll be home in three days at the latest. When he gets home, I’ll get him to go to see you.”
Ye Niuniu blushed. “Thank you.”
Liu Dalang smiled. “Don’t mention it. We’re a family.”
Liu Erlang liked Ye Niuniu so much. As the eldest brother, he should take good care of his future sister-in-law.
Liu Dalang thought of the brothers of rhe Ye family and asked with concern, “Have your brothers come home?”
Ye Niuniu looked sad. “They’re all back, but they’re injured.”
Ye Niuniu looked at Liu Dalang and said, “If Erlang is also injured, I will still marry him no matter what.”
Tang An held Ye Niuniu’s hand and patted it gently. She understood what Ye Niuniu meant.
Last night, when she saw the scars on Liu Dalang’s body, her heart ached. However, she was happy that he was back. As long as he could come back, she was willing to be with him even if he was incapacitated.
Therefore, Tang An could feel Ye Niuniu.
Liu Dalang also understood. He said to Ye Niuniu seriously, “Erlang is lucky to be able to marry you. If he dares to break off this marriage, our parents won’t let him off. As his eldest brother, 1 won’t let him off either.”
Liu Dalang knew how much Liu Erlang liked Ye Niuniu.
Ye Niuniu was Liu Erlang’s dream girl. How could he change his mind halfway?
Ye Niuniu was a little embarrassed, but she was even more relieved. “Then I’ll go back first.”
Tang An wanted to keep Ye Niuniu for lunch, but Ye Niuniu declined it.
At noon, Madam Wei returned with a look of pity. After putting rhe things back into the house, she said, “Of the two sons of the Ye family, one is blind in one eye, and the other is crippled in one foot.”
Tang An was a little worried. “Mother, Niuniu came earlier. No wonder she left in a hurry. It turns out that her brothers are injured.’1
Madam Wei nodded. Although rhe two sons of the Ye family were injured, it was fortunate that they came back alive.
Now that the war was over, those who lost their loved ones cried their hearts out. Even in Yong County, many people had lost their sons.
Madam Wei looked at Liu Dalang, who was safe and sound, and felt happy.
Madam Wei said, ’ Let’s go visit them in a few days.”
Tang An nodded.
At noon, Madam Wei asked Lin Jie to drink goat milk. Seeing that he was the only one who had goat milk, Lin Jie drank it silently and almost buried his face in the bowl. Only then could he not be seen crying..
