Yan Bubu and Feng Chen stood at the door, quietly without making a sound. After a while, Feng Chen pulled Yan Bubu, who was crying, out of the door and gently closed it.
"That's great, he finally woke up, that's great..." Yan Bubu said chokingly when he got downstairs.
Feng Chen patted his shoulder gently and turned to look at the sky. In the sky between light and darkness, he saw a light-bodied white crane and a vulture flying side by side. They would touch each other lightly from time to time, and then raise their necks to let out joyful calls.
In the following days, Yu Yuan's health improved day by day. However, due to muscle atrophy, he had to undergo rehabilitation training. Lin Fen accompanied him in training and taught him to straighten and bend his legs and raise them.
These seemingly simple movements were actually very painful for Yu Yuan. Every time Yan Bubu went to see them, Yu Yuan didn't say a word, but his head and face were covered with cold sweat from the pain. Lin Fen was not much better than him, and he looked like he had just been fished out of the water.
At noon, the sound of frying came from the kitchen, and Yan Bubu was arranging the dishes and placing chopsticks on the table.
"Don't put down the chopsticks yet, go and ask them to eat first." Feng Chen tied an apron and waved the spatula skillfully.
He was in charge of cooking during this period, and he was currently stir-frying a kind of edible wild mushroom. Next to him was a plate of braised pork ribs, and on the other stove sat a clay pot with a pot of thick, white, fragrant soup.
The soup contained several kinds of wild ingredients that Lin Fen had obtained, and it was said that eating it would be of great benefit to Yuan's health.
"Oh, okay." Yan Bubu responded.
Lin Fen had cleared out a large room on this floor to use as a training room. Yan Bubu walked to the back door and saw Yu Yuan standing in the room, with her knees slightly bent, staring at the ground with a nervous look, like a toddler who was just learning to walk, wanting to move forward but not daring to.
"Come on, come again, take half a step forward, then another half a step." Lin Fen stood half a meter in front of Yu Yuan with his back to Yan Bubu, his hands half open.
Yu Yuan's left foot left the ground, he took a trembling step, then lifted his other foot and continued forward.
Lin Fen also slowly stepped back: "Very good, very good, very good..."
After Yu Yuan took two more steps, his legs suddenly went weak, and Lin Fen immediately reached out and hugged him in his arms.
The two of them maintained this posture, neither moving nor speaking. Yan Bubu was about to call them to eat when he saw Lin Fen slowly lowering his head.
Although Yan Bubu could only see Lin Fen's back, he knew what they were doing. He immediately shut up and quietly retreated.
Yan Bubu leaned against the wall, scratching the wallpaper with one finger, carefully scraping off the small black spots on it. After he scraped off the few spots he could see in front of him, he felt that it was about time, so he secretly poked his head out to look inside the house.
After looking for two seconds, he retracted his head, walked forward a few steps, and scraped the small black spots elsewhere.
I don’t know if it was because scraping off the black spots was fun, but he suddenly smiled.
Two days later, Lin Fen and Feng Chen went to check on the situation at the foot of the mountain, and Yan Bubu accompanied Yu Yuan to the outdoors for rehabilitation training.
“Two more steps… Great… Keep going…”
On the lawn outside the building, Yu Yuan walked slowly forward, sweat dripping from his forehead. Yan Bubu shouted in front of him, shaking a bell in his hand.
