Chapter 3: The Children
Was there actually such a shameless person in the world who despised him after seeing him naked?
How ridiculous!
Forget it! As a man, he would not argue with women!
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the man who was still murderous a second ago and suddenly fell silent.
She raised her eyebrows.
Eh? Was he lying flat now?
The man had not given up. He had calmed down.
The most important thing now was the safety and whereabouts of the three children. His own situation was really not worth mentioning.
He remembered that he had been ambushed from behind and woke up there.
What the hell had happened?
Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her chubby hand and waved it in front of the man. "Why are you in a daze? Why are you suddenly silent? Have you become stupid after I sat on you?"
She moved her fat butt slightly. "There, I won't press on you anymore."
He was already numb!
The man looked at Su Xiaoxiao coldly. He regarded Su Xiaoxiao with suspicion, wariness, and vigilance. However, he did not look at her with disdain.
One had to know that since she was young, the Host had received too many strange gazes.
Although it could not be said that everyone in the village had ill intentions toward her, the man in front of her was the first to not show any abnormalities.
The man frowned and asked, "You said that your family saved me. Did they say anything else?"
Well, they said that he was her husband.
And that he gave her three children.
Su Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground and drew circles with her finger, thinking about how to smooth things over.
From the man's angle, he saw a fat girl with a round head. Every hair on his body emitted an aura of irritability.
The man winced.
Gulp.
The man's stomach growled.
"Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao looked up in confusion. "Are you hungry?"
The man was embarrassed.
Before he could speak, Su Xiaoxiao stood up and dusted her hands. "I'll get you something to eat."
Seriously, this man had forgotten that he had not eaten!
Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to bring two bowls of sweet potato soup and a plate of chives. One of the bowls was cold.
"Do you want me to feed you or do you want to eat it yourself?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
"I'll eat it myself. Untie me," the man said. Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't move, he frowned and added, "I won't hurt you."
Su Xiaoxiao untied the rope around his arms and legs and helped him onto the bed. She brought a pillow for him to lean on.
His injuries were mainly on his abdomen and legs. His upper limbs were unrestricted and he could eat on his own.
Su Xiaoxiao moved the small table in her room to his bed and placed a bowl of steaming sweet potato soup on it with a plate of chives.
She was usually too lazy to get out of bed. This was how Father Su and Su Ergou fed her.
The man looked at the food on the table and did not have much of an appetite. However, he had to recover his strength as soon as possible.
He forced himself to take a sip of the sweet potato soup and was surprised to find that it tasted very good.
The sweet potato's sugar was boiled into the soup. It was sweet with a slightly salty taste. Coupled with a little fresh spring onion, the taste was not inferior to the ones cooked by the chefs in the capital.
He tried the chives again. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The taste was also very stunning.
Was this woman behind all of this? It was unbelievable.
"What's your name?" Su Xiaoxiao, who was drinking soup at the table, asked.
The man hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wei Ting."
"Su Daya."
Su Xiaoxiao also reported the name of this body.
Wei Ting did not say anything else. He endured the pain in his body and continued to eat.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him from time to time.
Ignoring that pig-headed face, just by looking at his eating movements, she could see that he exuded a noble aura.
However, this person's aura was very cold.
How could she describe it?
It was as if he had crawled out of a pile of corpses and used the corpses to accumulate his killing aura.
This man must have killed more than one person!
Did Father Su know what kind of trouble he had nabbed?
Moreover, she had just checked him. There were many cuts and injuries on his body. Two deep gashes were on his upper right abdomen and left calf.
There were traces of simple treatment on the wound. Father Su must have applied medication to his wounds.
Even so, he had lost too much blood. His pulse and aura were very weak. Coupled with the wound and bruise on his abdomen, she could not rule out the possibility of internal bleeding.
In short, his injuries were much worse than they actually looked.
Had she been in her previous life, she would have full confidence in curing him, but now…
….
After dinner, Wei Ting rested.
Su Xiaoxiao was also exhausted, mainly because her body was too fat. She could eat and sleep, but she couldn't work.
Su Xiaoxiao finished washing the dishes and fell onto her bed.
She was probably thinking about that man's injuries. In her daze, she dreamed that she had returned to the base's pharmacy.
This was a medical pharmacy on the top floor of the research building. It was still in the construction stage and had yet to be used. Not many people were qualified to enter.
Su Xiaoxiao was one of them.
She grabbed the first aid kit on the table and picked some emergency medicine from the shelf to put in.
As she was selecting, she woke up.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. How professional was she? She was even thinking about treating that man in her dreams.
The next moment, she couldn't smile.
She suddenly saw a first-aid kit in her hand.
….
"Daya! I'm back!"
Su Cheng's bright and happy voice came from outside. Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the first-aid bag back into the blanket.
"Steady," she told herself, "Don't panic."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and calmly left the room.
After Su Cheng and Su Ergou returned from robbing the villagers, they went to town and bought Su Daya's favorite snacks.
The three children were forced to work for the entire day. On the way back, they fell asleep from exhaustion. Su Ergou held one in each arm while Father Su carried one.
Su Xiaoxiao had fainted too quickly and didn't see their faces clearly. Now that she took a closer look, she couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.
They had round faces, exquisite facial features, and long eyelashes. They were the best-looking children she had ever seen. Their quiet and obedient appearance after falling asleep made one's heart soften.
She did not expect that man to have such cute children.
Su Xiaoxiao poked the faces of the three little fellows.
Oh.
So soft.
The three little fellows opened their eyes one after another as if they had been woken up by Su Xiaoxiao.
"Eh? Dad, they're awake!" Su Ergou was about to cry. "They're finally awake. I'm so tired!"
After carrying them for a few kilometers, his arm was about to break!
Su Xiaoxiao gave the triplets a strange look.
Was it an illusion?
Why did it feel like they had not just woken up?
Could it be that they had pretended to be asleep along the way and used Father Su and Su Ergou as a means of transportation?
She must be thinking too much.
Two- or three-year-old babies like them wouldn't be so scheming!
