Chapter 3 — Villain Seeks Love

6

It rained continuously for several days. The weak tile roof of the country house began to leak water. Our room is still good. The person in trouble was Chu Duc. He lived in the east room, which had no windows. For several days, the wind and rain poured down, all of his blankets and mattresses were soaked. During the day, his lips are only slightly pale. I frowned and sarcastically said a few words:

“It's been raining heavily for several days, don't freeze to death.”

“The little money you earn is only enough for you to eat, I don't have the money to buy a coffin for you.”

Chu Duc glanced at me with a gloomy face:

“Go away.”

“There's no need for you to pretend to be nice.”

I see he still has the strength to scold people. Guessing there was no big problem, he left the room. But at night, when I brought rice. His face was pale, his whole body was wet, and he was constantly trembling. Only then did I realize that the blanket on his body was soaked. His whole body was so cold that he almost lost consciousness. The bowl of rice in my hand could not be held firmly and fell to the ground and broke.

“Chu Duc!”

His eyelids kept shaking, but he couldn't open his eyes to look at me. I hugged him, feeling like I was hugging a block of ice, cold to the bone.

“Chu Duc, wake up.”

I pushed his shoulder. He didn't have any reaction.

"You absolutely must not die..."

"Your sister still hasn't found you. You still haven't avenged and killed me. Are you willing to die so humiliatingly?"

I gritted my teeth and carried him on my back. Step by step stepping into the mud pit, arduously walking to the next village. Because he was afraid that Chu Duc would suddenly stop breathing. Along the way, I tried to talk to him:

“…Chu Duc, don't sleep.”

"It's over, your sister will soon come to take you home."

I remember how he often stared blankly at my legs. Sometimes the eye sockets are red.

"Your leg can be cured. You will not become disabled. You can still dance vigorously in the future."

"Do you remember that you were once the most free-spirited young man in the city? One day when you were riding a horse down the street, a group of young ladies chased you and asked which family you were from..."

I bit my lip, suddenly remembering the first time I met him. At that time, he was guessing with others about the lights in the city. A look of dazzling confidence. I also stopped and watched for a long time before leaving. Chu Duc lay on my back, his breathing getting weaker and weaker. His body was so cold that I felt like I was carrying a corpse.

“…Chu Duc, can you try a little harder?”

My tears flowed out uncontrollably.

“Let's all try to get through this time, okay?”

Don't know how long it took. So long that I feel endless despair. A very soft voice fell in my ear.

“…Okay.”

I clenched my teeth, trying not to cry. Those few miles of muddy village road, I relied on my will to try to walk all the way. Go to the doctor's house and put Chu Duc down. I collapsed to the ground, completely powerless.

Before I even opened my eyes, I felt a burning gaze. Tightly wrapped around me.

“Slap” a crisp slap sound.

Chu Duc was slapped until he tilted his face to one side. I sat up, coldly and fiercely glared at him:

“Who gave you permission to look at me with that look?”

“Disgusting.”

Chu Duc used his fingertips to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. The bottom of the eyes is gloomy:

“Coc Nhieu, she is very strange.”

I was instantly like a barrel of dynamite. Pointing at him, he scolded him.

“You're the strange one! You're a loser, you're annoying complicated!”

“For treating your illness, all my assets have been taken away.”

“You must compensate me. Being an ox and a horse embroidering scarves all your life to compensate me!”

Chu Duc didn't think at all. The answer was very decisive: "Yes." He lowered his eyes and looked at my knees covered in mud. Looked quietly for a long time.

“The doctor said your leg has a wound, remember to apply medicine.”

I was scared by his sudden gentleness and kept backing away. Almost ran away.

“It's not your turn to pretend to be nice!”

“It's okay to take care of yourself, the disabled person likes to meddle in other people's matters.”

Night came, when I brought him rice. The first time he sat on the edge of the bed and waited. Before, he always curled up deep in bed, not even looking at me.

“Eat rice.”

I put down my bowl and chopsticks and was about to leave. Behind me, Chu Duc suddenly called me back. The expression on his face was an embarrassment and embarrassment that I had never seen before:

“…Coc Nhieu, I have mud on my body, I want to take a bath.”

After listening, my mind twitched in pain.

“No way. The disease hasn't completely cured yet, what should I take a bath? What if I catch a cold and get sick?"

“Can you please calm down a bit, don't cause me any more trouble.”

Chu Duc firmly shook his head.

“It won't catch the cold.”

I don't know what kind of attack he had:

“Coc Nhieu, please help me.”

After hearing this, I immediately punched him in the head:

“I see you're really lacking in fighting. Dare to open your mouth and ask me to serve you?

“Who do you think you are?”

Chu Duc was not angry, he lowered his eyes and began to take off his clothes. I was so scared that I held his hand and repeatedly stopped him:

“Why take off your clothes? Put it on!”

“Are you ashamed? What are you crazy about now?
