translator's notes: I've changed Zhao Yunxuan's name to Zhao Yunsheng after finding my mistake and the part where his mother calls him by 'son' was also changed to Sheng'er (if you didn't know, adding er/ah to names is a term of endearment)

After applying medicine to Yu Wei's back, Zhao Yunsheng went out. (1) Today he was able to hunt two pheasants and brought them back alive and put them in a basket. He went out in the morning came back before noon, the harvest is also good.

The reason he came back so early is because of thinking that Yu Wei might wake up soon. Zhao father leaves home early and comes back at night. The mother is a woman and although Yu Wei looked small and was sick, he is still a boy and an outsider. He shouldn't leave his mother along with Yu Wei.

Zhao Yunsheng came back to hear the movement in the house, he immediately took the basket into the house to let Lin Suzhi deal with it. Usually these game (2) he is able to hunt is taken to the city to sell but today, he wants to leave the two wild pheasant to be stewed for Yu Wei to recover his health.

"Sheng er, did you help Xiao Wei apply the medicine?" Lin Suzhi came out of the kitchen and asked him after seeing Zhao Yunsheng. "I helped apply on his back, he said he'll do the rest himself." Zhao Yunsheng replied, holding the basket tape in his hand and standing in place.

Lin suzhi smiled and said, "I see Xiao Wei's skin is very thin, give him the medicine in the kitchen later, it has been boiled, I removed it from the stove to coo. And leave pheasant this time, I see Xiao Wei weak bones, leave it here so we can give it to him. Just last night, your father also came back"

"Okay." Zhao Yunsheng nodded and put the basket into the kitchen.

Yu Wei heard the conversation coming from the yard outside, and thought that the sound insulation of the room was really bad.

He lay on the bed for a while before lifting his head out of his arms. The blue curtain at the door was put down, so the light in the room was a little dim, but he could see things clearly when he adapted.

Yu Wei sat up and took off his clothes, in front there was no wound, only on both sides of the body occasionally there are a few scratches and also some on his arms. The ointment was carefully smeared on the injured places. Then Yu Wei slowly took off his pants, when bent over it caused a painful headache and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He tossed for a while until his pants were taken off.

As with the upper body, Yu Wei's leg injuries are also mostly in the back, as for his ass he did not feel any pain in that area. He was expecting it to hurt because Lin Suzhi said he was rescued from hanging on the tree, but he didn't feel anything.

Yu Wei didn't know what the milky ointment was made of, there is a touch of fragrance and when smeared on the body, it's cold. The visible effect is also too slow, if his injury was treated in the Polo empire, minutes after applying the medicine, you won't feel any pain and in two days, you're already all better.

It's just that the conditions here are so bad that it may take him a week to get better.

Yu Wei dressed and sat stiffly on the bed, he thought about picking up the storage bracelet placed in the bedside position. This storage bracelet is actually not his, but after knowing that his father is going to give him away, secretly while his half-brother bathed, he went to his room to take it.

The storage bracelet has about one hundred and fifty square meters of space, Yu Wei looked into the space, he did not put anything inside. Anyway, since the ship has been lost he looked to see what was inside, there was two mecha, and Big Brother's collection of weapons. The mecha can not be taken out, and there is no need for weapons. Yu Wei looked in the storage bracelet and took something out.

A bracelet is inlaid with five small red stones, it is his own storage bracelet.

Yu Wei took his storage bracelet in his hand and looked, he wore his bracelet tightly on his wrist, so others will be able to easily remove, unless with a special method. His brother's storage bracelet design is very loose on him, although there is a way to make it smaller, he has not yet found that method.

That day when he stole the ship, he was tight on time so he took his brother's storage bracelet which has a variety of weapons and is easily worn on the hand, but after thinking about it now, it's not so helpful. Yu Wei has to think of a way to put your storage bracelet on your hand.

Yu Wei frowned at thought, when the curtain of the room was suddenly opened again, Zhao Yunsheng, who was holding two bowls and did not know what was happening, came inside. Yu Wei quickly put his two hands behind to hide.

Zhao Yunsheng put the medicine on the table, pretending not to see his little movements, he touched the porridge on the table to check if the temperature is appropriate, and then handed it to Yu Wei, "You can drink some porridge."

Yu Wei glanced at the bowl, as a little master, he is a picky eater, in his eyes what Zhao Yunsheng has in his hands is a bowl of sticky white rice, not porridge. It looks dull and doesn't look appetizing, but he has not eaten since noon yesterday and now he is really hungry.

Wronged little master Fei's heart: this is porridge? what porridge?! Don't think I can't recognize it!

But since the stomach is indisputable, little master Fei's belly won and he took the bowl and started eating small mouthfuls.

After seeing him finish the porridge, Zhao Yunsheng took the bowl and utensils and gave Yu Wei the medicine bowl. The medicine was dark and had a strange unpleasant scent. Yu Wei frowned and shook his head, clearly refusing, "I don't want to drink."

"Drink the medicine so you'll heal faster." Zhao Yunsheng said and saw Yu Wei with his brows furrowed and looking down at the dark decoction. He understood in his heart, but the medicine must be drank. Zhao Yunsheng stepped forward closer and asked, "Should I feed you?"

Yu Wei turned his head and stared at him, seeing Zhao Yunsheng's serious face, he could not help but have to compromise. "I'll do it myself!"

After drinking a sip of the medicine, Yu Wei's eyes closed making a weird face. He pinched his nose and looked up "glug glug" a few sips more and he finished drinking the medicine, he wanted to spit his tongue out. It tasted bitter to death!

Zhao Yunsheng took the empty bowl in his hand, and handed the quilt over. When Yu Wei drank medicine, he had poured a glass of water over, so meticulous and intimate service. Yu Wei could not help but look at his eyes.

"Drink water, to wash the taste the medicine in your mouth, it's still very bitter, but there is no other way. If you are sleepy, rest, and recover your energy" Zhao Yunsheng took the two bowls and said to him before going out.

Yu Wei was not sleepy, but he did not have the strength. The room as filled with the smell of decoction, he can't stomach it, after sitting for a while. It seemed like he can taste the bitter scent again, leaning against the wall he walked out of the room.

Out of the room he saw that outside was the main room, there was a round table in the main room, and a few benches, and then there was a pile of things in the corner that he did not know.

Yu Wei secretly looked to find out what it was, there is a saying that wealth limits his imagination. That was the case.

Today the weather outside is very good, but there is no sun, Yu Wei does not know what season is now so he just wore his current clothes and went out. He did not feel cold, he went to the main room to drag a stool out of the yard to sit, but suddenly felt pain in his back. He was getting anxious when a voice came from outside.

"Ah, Xiao Wei came out?" Lin Suzhi originally wanted to carry a wild pheasant to the small river outside the village to deal with, but Zhao Yunsheng came out to stop her and brought his tools to the river, so Lin Suzhi just washed the used bowls and came out to see Yu Wei standing in the main room.

"Aunt Lin, I want to sit in the yard." Yu Wei blinked his eyes, his face looking a little awkward.

Lin Suzhi knew that he was in pain so she came forward and helped him, "Come out and sit, there is a stool in the yard." After taking Yu Wei to the yard, she went into the house and took out a coat. "The weather is a little cold, add one more layer"

Yu Wei's heart melted at her kindness and let Lin Suzhi put his clothes on him, he smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you Aunt Lin."

"Good boy." Lin Suzhi patted him on the shoulder and sat down next to him. The light in the room was not as good as the light outside, Lin Suzhi knew that Yu Wei (3) is good-looking, but in the bright place Yu Wei's delicate face looked more and more like a carved jade, beautiful and simply unreal.

Beautiful things always make people feel pity, looking at Yu Wei's pale lip color, Lin Suzhi's heart also felt pain. "Xiao Wei ah, you can live in our house at ease, to tell you the truth, in fact, aunt Lin was also in the same situation. My family wanted to sell me to the outside, so I escaped and Sheng er's father took me in.

Yu Wei was surprised, and muttered in his heart, Ah, this family does not look rich, if there are more mouths to feed, need to work harder to find more bowls of rice. Presumably because of his situation, Aunt Lin felt sorry for him and offered to let him stay.

In fact, Yu Wei wanted to know what happened to Lin Suzhi, was Lin Suzhi's home going to sell her to marry too? What kind of man was she going to marry? It's just that these are not good questions to ask at the time.

Lin Suzhi smiled again, "You do not know but just I went out and heard someone in the village discussing. 20 years ago Sheng er's father picked me up and now Sheng er also picked you up." Yu Wei knew the meaning behind her words, and had to pull his mouth and smile.

Zhao Yunsheng's family lives in the edge of Qingshui village. Lin Suzhi just listened to woman gossiping by their house, those women are mostly going to the river outside the village to do laundry and dishes. During weekdays, a woman's idle time is always spent in gossip. In just one night, in the morning the news about Zhao Yunsheng picked up a little lady and brought her home spread around.

In the river to deal with the wild pheasant Zhao Yunsheng came across with some women on the river. He did not love to talk and had a serious face, so those women usually do not love to gossip about him, but today was different.

"I say Yunsheng Ah, is the little lady you found beautiful?" A women in the village that Lin Suzhi befriended, aunt Li asked.

Zhao Yunsheng thought of Yu Wei's face and seriously nodded, "Beautiful."

"Oh oh oh! You're twenty two this year right? This age and have not yet started a family, you must've been waiting for a very beautiful lady."

The author has something to say:

Ho ho ha ha, poverty limits my imagination, Xiao Wei and I are not the same _ (: з" _ )_

(1) this is a different day than the last chapter (it did not continue from yesterday)

(2) game is what they call meat that has been hunted (if you want me to change it to just meat please comment here :D)

(3) Lin Suzhi refers to him little master Yu Wei here
