Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

“Mo, go get Doctor Li!”

Ye Liu frowned and gave Ye Mo an instruction. Then, carrying Ye Ling, he ran towards home.

Hei Xiaomeng barked anxiously too when they appeared.

Tears had begun flowing unknowingly down Liu Duo’s cheeks the moment Ye Ling fainted.

“Ling, don’t scare me. Ling…”

This was the first time in forever that she saw him in such a severe condition. It was practically a far cry from the previous episode!

Aunt Li saw the commotion and got anxious too, but she still tried to console Liu Duo. “Girl, calm down! Ling’s a lucky man. Nothing will happen to him.”

“Little Duo, don’t cry, and don’t fret. Ling will be alright, I promise!” Liu swore.

He believed Ling would come through. They did not want to see their wife so sad.

The sky had gradually darkened by then. Ye Mo ran as fast as he could down the familiar path towards the doctor’s house.

He dared not delay.

Due to lack of entertainment in the village, most of the villagers chose to retire to bed early when night fell after a long day of hard work.

Ye Mo came to Doctor Li’s door and knocked relentlessly. “Doctor Li, Doctor Li, it’s Ye Mo! My youngest brother’s fallen sick. Please come take a look at him!”

Ye Mo was known for his loud voice. The villagers around the entire courtyard could hear his incessant shouting.

“Doctor Li, Doctor Li!”

Ye Mo kept shouting and knocking when he did not receive any response from the other side of the door. He was afraid the doctor could not hear him.

“I’m coming, I’m coming.” Doctor Li had been lying in bed when he was rudely interrupted. He got dressed and came to the door. “Ye Mo, you’re going to knock down my door if you keep doing that. How did Ye Ling suddenly fall ill?”

It felt odd to him. Ye Ling’s current medication was a lot more expensive than his previous one. His health had been well-maintained so far. He should not be able to fall sick so easily. What really happened?

“Doctor Li, it’s faster if I take you there.”

Ye Mo, filled with anxiety, did not answer. He grabbed the doctor’s medical kit and hung it across his chest. Then he stooped down to carry the doctor on his back. He was ready to run back home.

Before he left, he did not forget to close the door behind him.

It was fully dark by the time they arrived at the bamboo forest. Li Wazi came to fetch them, an oil lamp in his hand.

He noticed the darkness and thought the oil lamp could help light their way.

“How’s Ling doing?” Ye Mo asked him apprehensively.

“He hasn’t come around,” Li Wazi answered frankly.

Ye Mo did not say anything more as he sped up towards the house, with Doctor Li on his back.

Ye Ling lay on the bed with his eyes closed. If it were not for the rise and fall of his chest, the others would have thought he had passed away.

“Little Duo, don’t cry now. Ling will be alright. We must believe in him.” Ye Liu spoke to her gently as he wiped away her tears.

He felt heartbroken seeing his wife in tears. At the same time, he was very worried about Ye Ling too.

He might have been saying that to Liu Duo, but he was telling himself the same thing as well!

He really regretted not answering Ling’s inquiry earlier.

Why had they always treated Ling like he was a child?

They seemed to have forgotten that Ye Ling was no longer the little boy who lived a carefree life under his brothers’ protection!

He had grown up. He was a man with a wife, and would soon become a father.
