The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 79 One person woke up

She went back to her room, picked up the bowl, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out a hand to touch Helian Zhiyan's forehead and then her little face.

Helian Zhiyan tilted her head and affectionately rubbed her cheek against her palm. "Sister, you saved me again."

The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, like a kitten's. Wen Luozhi tucked the blanket around her, a faint smile on her face. "A big brother saved you, and I just got lucky."

The man not only had injuries, but the system also detected a slow-acting poison in his body, and his internal organs were also damaged, which was probably related to saving the little girl.

This was a prisoner whom the imperial court was going to exile. Judging from the man's appearance, it must have taken a lot of effort to abduct him.

Hearing her mention Helian Yue, Helian Zhiyan's doe eyes instantly welled up with tears. "Sister, my brother..."

Is her brother still alive? She remembered that her brother had lost a lot of blood, and then she fell asleep. When she woke up, she found herself lying here.

Wen Luozhi paused in her blowing the porridge. So that man was the little girl's brother. No wonder he was unwilling to put her down even in that state.

He was about to die himself, yet he still begged her to save this little girl.

She brought the porridge to Helian Zhiyan's lips and whispered, "Don't worry, your brother is fine, he just needs to rest."

As dawn approached, the man developed a low-grade fever, but fortunately they had given him medicine beforehand.

There's nothing serious now, but I need to take good care of my injuries and recuperate properly.

"I'll take you to see him after you finish eating," she said, her hands still busy feeding him porridge.

Helian Zhiyan tilted her head and asked cutely, "Sister, aren't you afraid that we are bad people who will hurt you after you saved me and my brother?"

After traveling for so long, they passed through many villages. The villagers dared not look them in the eye, partly because they were afraid that these criminals would harm them, and partly because their family had been labeled as traitors and everyone despised them.

They wouldn't even give them a sip of water, let alone save them.

After feeding him the last spoonful of porridge, Wen Luozhi sighed silently. "Was it something I wanted to save? Your brother is already collapsed at my doorstep! I wanted to throw you all out too, but the system told me to save you!"

She's a lazy bum who only wants to make money and live a comfortable life; how could she possibly have time to wade into these muddy waters? She might end up losing her life.

Despite thinking this, she said to Helian Zhiyan, "Your mother swore to me that your family has never done anything immoral or unethical, otherwise I wouldn't have saved any of you."

"Of course, when you arrived in the village the first two days ago, my family wouldn't give you a drop of water either."

She knew the story of the farmer and the snake, and she wouldn't have made a move without the system's prompt.

"You all stay home obediently these days and aren't allowed to go anywhere. Once you're fully recovered, you'd better get out of here and leave, okay?"

The village is full of gossip; if people knew that his family had rescued an exiled fugitive, their whole family would be finished.

It seems their family will have to remain on high alert for quite some time. Once this period is over, these two troublesome individuals, one big and one small, can go wherever they want.

Helian Zhiyan nodded, feeling somewhat disappointed. They really couldn't drag others down with them.

Moreover, the sister's family had saved their lives, and staying here would bring them danger; they couldn't do that.

Once my brother is feeling better, the two of them should leave. They should go far away and make sure no one finds out that my sister has a relationship with them.

After carrying the person out of the house, she went straight into Wen Zizhong's room. Since everyone in the family was out busy, she could only let him stay in his room for the time being.

"Lolo, he's still not awake."

Upon seeing Wen Luozhi enter, Wen Zizhong loosened his grip on the dagger hidden under the blanket.

The sixth brother had just gone out, and he was afraid that this person would wake up and go crazy, hurting himself or rushing out to hurt others, so he resorted to this desperate measure.

Wen Luozhi noticed his subtle movements and caught a glimpse of half of the knife hilt, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Whether they are good or bad, their own safety is the most important thing at critical moments. They are not saints, so it is understandable that they do this.

She placed Helian Zhiyan on the bed, and the little girl climbed inside and reached out her tiny hand to touch Helian Yue's face. "Brother, the sun's already high in the sky, why aren't you awake yet?"

She dared not make a sound, her eyes filled with heartache as she looked at Helian Yue, who was nearly half-wrapped in a white cloth.

Her older brother used to wake her up when he was home. He was her only cousin, but he really loved and cared for her.

If my aunt knew how badly my brother was injured, she would be very sad. My parents would also feel very guilty. My grandfather would be extremely worried if he knew that the two of them had gotten into this state.

After watching silently for a while, Helian Zhiyan finally turned her gaze from Helian Yue to Wen Luozhi. "Sister, can I stay with brother?"

Her eyes were filled with a desperate pleading, making her look as pitiful as a puppy, as if she would burst into tears the next second if Wen Luozhi didn't agree.

"Second brother, then you keep an eye on those two."

Wen Luozhi's gaze fell on the large bell beside Wen Zizhong's bed. "Ring the bell immediately if you need anything, and I'll come in right away."

After saying that, she picked up the little wolf by its hind legs and went out. When she got to the door, she picked it up and said to it, "Don't just look at the handsome men inside, protect my second brother."

She had a terrible headache. The little wolf had been lying on the bed staring at the man ever since it entered the room, its dark eyes practically overflowing with joy.

People say beautiful women bring trouble, but in this case, it's more like handsome men bring trouble...

The little wolf flapped its four legs a few times and assured, "Go do what you need to do. I know how to protect the family."

After howling, it pushed off with its hind legs and landed on the ground. Then, wagging its tail, it leaped through the window.

It needs to carefully study what it should transform into to captivate everyone, hehe.

After Wen Zixun returned, he subtly inquired about the situation of the two children, one big and one small, then looked around and closed the courtyard gate.

Not feeling reassured, he moved another large log over to block the gate.

Seeing his nervous expression, Wen Luozhi smiled and said, "Sixth Brother, they're all inside, along with Second Brother and Dou Dou watching over them."

Even if someone wanted to come looking for them, they wouldn't come out at this hour of the day; their actions are simply self-deception.

Besides, if someone wanted to come in, I'm afraid my two small wooden doors wouldn't be enough to stop them.

“Sister, I’m worried that the villagers will see us,” Wen Zixun said, glancing at the window of Wen Zizhong’s house.

These past few days, because of the jobs we hired, the families of those who started working have been coming over in twos and threes to give us a couple of eggs or a bunch of scallions as a token of their gratitude. If they happen to discover that there are two strange people in their homes, it will be hard to explain.

The brother and sister fed the rabbit and the pig, and it was almost time to leave.

With Wen Zixun watching over things at home, Wen Luozhi went out carrying a basket on her back and a hamper on her shoulder.

The two Sun sisters were already waiting at the courtyard gate. When they saw her come out, they greeted her and, as usual, took the things out of her basket and put them into their own small baskets.
