Chapter 144 - Wake Up

When the father and son pair arrived home, the sky had already darkened. Little Water jumped down from Ah Kuan's back and ran into the house.

Ah Kuan followed behind him, constantly saying, "Damn brat, don't just jump down like this next time, what if you break it?"

Lil 'Shui ignored him and happily ran to the back room. As she walked, she said, "Got it, Ah Pa. I won't do it again."

Ah Kuan shook his head helplessly, thinking that there was nothing he could do about it. If he agreed to be so straightforward now, he would forget about it after a while.

"Abba!" Little Shui who was in the room shouted.

Ah Kuan thought something had happened to him. He anxiously ran over and before he could see anything clearly, he asked caringly, "What happened to Xiao Shui? Did something happen?"

Lil 'Shui shook her head and pointed at the person on the bed. "I just saw uncle awake."

Ah Kuan followed the direction of the finger and saw the man who had been unconscious for several days slowly open his eyes.

When Li Xiang woke up, he saw a little kid standing beside him, curiously staring at him. When he saw that he had opened his eyes, he took a step back in shock.

Li Xiang wanted to say something at first, but when he opened his mouth, his throat was so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound, suddenly, he felt dizzy. After that, he closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, there was another big sized man beside him.

Li Xiang's throat was burning with thirst, he wanted to drink some water, but he couldn't make a sound due to the pain in his throat. He struggled to raise his finger and point towards the bowl on the table.

Seeing this, Liushui immediately reacted. She picked up the bowl on the side and walked out, "Dad, he must be thirsty. He wants to drink water."

After a while, Xiao Shui came back with a bowl of warm water. A-Kuan took the bowl and put it aside. Then, she walked to Li Xiang's bedside and helped him up from his seat. He then picked up the bowl with his right hand and began to feed it.

Li Xiang drank his first mouthful of water and felt his entire body being extremely comfortable. It was as if he had suddenly met a cool oasis in a desolate desert.

After drinking the water in the bowl, Li Xiang felt that his throat was much more comfortable and was able to speak. A'Kuang immediately stood up, looking at him from the side without saying a word.

Li Xiang cleared his throat, and then said: "Thank you for saving me, I will repay you. My name is Li Xiang, I don't know what you guys are called. "

Ah Kuan and Xiao Shui looked at each other and simultaneously felt that this person did not look like a bad person, so Ah Kuan said, "No need to thank me, everyone will save you if something like this happens. My name is Ah Kuan, and this is my son, Xiao Shui. "

Xiao Shui was smiling happily at the side. She ran to the bedside and said, "Uncle, you've been unconscious for several days. Ah Pa and I are very worried about you. Are you alright? "

Li Xiang looked at Xiao Shui and felt that she was a very obedient child. Thus, he reached out to rub Xiao Shui's head: "When uncle wakes up, everything will be fine, don't worry about me, Xiao Shui is really obedient."

Xiao Shui blushed a little and didn't say anything. She immediately ran behind her Abba and hid herself, not daring to look at Li Xiang.

Ah Kuan smiled happily at Xiao Shui's reaction. Since when did his son know to be shy?

At this moment, Li Xiang's stomach made a sound, making him feel embarrassed. He pointed to his own stomach and said embarrassedly, "Do you have food? I haven't eaten for a few days, I'm a little hungry now."

Xiao Shui also laughed secretly, she was covering her mouth as she looked at Li Xiang. Ah Kang glared at him and wanted to walk out, but she said, "We just finished dinner, let's eat together."

Li Xiang smiled and nodded, then waved to the shy Xiao Shui, gesturing for her to come over. Xiao Shui stood where she was and hesitated, but she still mustered up her courage and walked towards Li Xiang.

"Xiao Shui, uncle is asking you, how long have I been sleeping?" Li Xiang asked gently.

Li Xiang's body was currently a little sore. He also didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but he felt that it shouldn't be too short. He knew that some people would go crazy trying to find him. He didn't know if he would live or die after jumping into the sea, but he was actually saved by someone who had good intentions in mind.

Liushui counted with her pinky, her small eyes were full of seriousness, "Uncle has been sleeping for a long time, Abba has gone to sea every five days, Abba has gone to sea a total of three times."

Li Xiang was shocked. From the looks of it, he must have been unconscious for half a month.

"Xiao Shui, clean up the table and prepare to eat." Ah Kuan's voice came from outside.

"Alright, I heard it!" Liushui happily replied. Lil 'Shui immediately ran outside to help Abba clear the table.

Li Xiang leaned against the wall by himself, thinking about something that no one knew what. Even though he had a calm and composed expression on his face, his heart was filled with surging waves.

He had lost consciousness for nearly half a month and wondered if Xu Ban had safely returned to Xiangjiang River City. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be safe now and meet up with Huang Shan. When Yellow Mountain mentioned him, her face showed how much importance she attached to him. It was likely that her reunion was another moving scene.

A beautiful image suddenly appeared in his mind, it was Mo Fei, Li Xiang did not know how he was doing, and felt that he had let her down. Before he left, he had guaranteed to Mo Fei that he would be able to return safely. However, after disappearing for such a long time, he must be worried to death.

He could even imagine Mo Fei's current state and condition, but Li Xiang did not expect Mo Fei to be so upset.

The smell of food came from outside. Li Xiang took a careful sniff and discovered that it was the smell of noodles. He looked again at the shabby little house and guessed that the family was probably not living well.

After a while, Ah Kuan and Little Shui came over with bowls and plates in their hands and placed them on a nearby table. Li Xiang struggled a bit, wanting to get up, but his body was disobedient and weak.

Ah Kuan rushed over and said with concern, "Your body hasn't recovered yet. Let me feed you."

Li Xiang shook his head. He didn't want to trouble others with this kind of thing, so he resolutely said, "Brother Ah Kuan, I can do it myself. I've slept for such a long time, my body is not used to it. You help me to the table and I'll eat with you. "

Seeing how determined Li Xiang was, Ah Kuan did not say anything further. It was better to let him off the bed. Seeing that, Li Xiang pulled up the blanket and Ah Kang supported him to the table.

Ah Kuan and the rest's lives were indeed not good. Even though they had just woken up, Li Xiang needed to recuperate, they did not have any food to recuperate on. There was only one egg that was supposed to be Little Shui's breakfast.

Li Xiang looked at the table, on it were three bowls of noodle soup and a small plate of black food. He did not know what kind of food it was, but it was possible that the Shui family would treat it as a dish to eat.

Ah Kuan scratched his head in embarrassment. "I wanted to make you something nutritious to replenish your body, but I don't have anything in my house." I found an egg. "

Li Xiang lowered his head and saw that there was indeed an extra boiled egg in his bowl compared to the other two bowls. Ah Kang did not tell Li Xiang that it was the only way in, it was a place to replenish Little Water's nutrition. However, he was honest and honest, so he didn't have any intention of saying it.

When Xiao Shui saw the boiled egg, although she also wanted to eat it, on the contrary, her uncle had just gotten sick and needed nutrition. Just like him, every time he was sick, he would feel extremely uncomfortable. However, eating good food was much more comfortable, so he was happy to give the eggs to his uncle.

How could Li Xiang not think that the egg he ate was probably the only nutritious thing in the house, Xiao Shui's eyes were still looking at his bowl. This might have been left for Liushui to eat, but now it was actually used to nourish her body.

He thought for a moment and suddenly revealed a helpless expression, "Xiao Shui, this egg is too big. How about we split it up and eat it?"

"Alright!" Little Shui cheered loudly.

"Little Shui!" Ah Kang called out to him, signalling him not to speak further, then turned to look at Li Xiang, "Your body is weaker than usual, it's fine as long as you eat. You don't have to worry about Little Water."

Lil 'Shui's mouth immediately shriveled up and the expression in her eyes immediately faded. He also wanted to eat an egg and it had been a long time since he had eaten an egg. But Abba was right. He should give away the Ji Dao to his sick uncle, only then would he be able to recover.

"This egg is so big, I really can't finish it all. This is too much of a waste." Li Xiang proposed again.

As soon as A-Kuan heard about the waste, he hesitated. If this egg was really wasted, he would die of heartache. He might as well let the two of them eat it.

"You can't waste it, but Little Shui is good at eating. Brother Li Xiang, eat more."

Hearing this, Lil 'Shui was very happy. He did not care about the amount that was given to him, he only cared about not being able to eat it.

Li Xiang split the boiled eggs in two. Although it looked like he had a larger one, he gave all of the yolk in the bowl to Xiao Shui. Ah Kang saw all of this, and rejoiced that he had saved him, because Li Xiang did not seem to be a qualified bad person.

Just like that, the three of them started eating dinner. After Ah Kuan introduced them, he realized that the black dish was a nearby type of grass. It could be used as food if it was boiled. Although the taste was a little astringent, Li Xiang had no choice. After eating a few bites, he adapted and felt that it wasn't that bad.

"That's right, someone seemed to have come to find you in the past few days, but I'm afraid that it might be your enemy, so I instructed Liushui not to speak carelessly." Ah Kuan suddenly thought of this matter.

Li Xiang listened and thought for a while. He did not know if Ah Kuan was talking about an enemy or friend, because there was a high possibility that there were two groups of people looking for him.

"And beautiful big sister!" Lil 'Shui shouted happily. Even now, Lil' Shui couldn't forget that beautiful big sister. "I saw pretty big sister. She came to find uncle and pretty big sister is crying."

After Li Xiang heard Xiao Shui's words, his heart ached for a moment. He knew that it was very likely to be Mo Fei, yet Mo Fei had actually personally come to find him. She had been searching for him for so long, but to no avail. She was afraid that he would be very sad. He only felt that he had let her down.

But Mo Fei, you have to wait for me. I'll be right back.
