Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1656: Chapter 1657: He Doesn’t Dare to Die

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

Four days...

Xiao Changyi, sitting in the courtyard without sleep, rest, food, or drink, finally collapsed as if he would never wake up again.

In the eyes of Meng Lanqing and Meng Zhuqing, Xiao Changyi was always seen as indomitable. Now that he fell like this, it truly frightened them. They hurriedly carried Xiao Changyi to the town to see the doctor.

Xiao Changyi’s body was just too exhausted, and his spirit too weary. Coupled with not eating or drinking for several days, he fainted because he couldn’t hold on anymore. When Xiao Changyi woke up again, Meng Lanqing and Meng Zhuqing were kneeling in front of him, pleading, ”Master, please eat something...”

Xiao Changyi said nothing, just lay there expressionless, his eyes unfocused as he stared at the ceiling. Yet his mind was filled with An Jing, filled with every smile and movement of hers, every sound and expression.

His previous words that An Jing was his life were not false, it was true... really...

Jing Er, where are you?

Meng Zhuqing, seeing Xiao Changyi in such a state, felt even worse and pleaded again, ”Master, if you don’t eat, you’ll die. And the mistress is still alive, what about her? Do you want the mistress to die for love and go to hell to find you?”

Hearing this, Xiao Changyi’s cold eyes regained focus instantly. He only heard him say, ”Bring the food.”

Upon hearing these words, Meng Zhuqing was overjoyed and quickly said, ”Yao’er, bring the food over quickly!”

Tobanya had already brought the food over. Meng Zhuqing supported Xiao Changyi to sit up, while Meng Lanqing handed the chopsticks to Xiao Changyi. Xiao Changyi took the chopsticks and began to eat.

But after just one bite, he vomited.

He took another bite, and still vomited.

He tried eating again and vomited.

He continued to eat, and again vomited...

”Master...” Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing couldn’t bear to watch, their eyes turned red. They wanted to stop Xiao Changyi from eating, but if he didn’t eat, Xiao Changyi would die.

But he ate and still vomited...

Their hearts were truly heavy at this moment.

Even the aloof Tobanya felt extremely uncomfortable, turned away, not wanting to watch Xiao Changyi eat and vomit, vomit and eat, struggling to swallow the food to stay alive.

Gong Juese also felt bad, she didn’t like the current atmosphere at all, so she simply left the room. As long as she didn’t see it, she wouldn’t feel so miserable.

Xiao Changyi didn’t care if he vomited, he kept trying to eat. Even though he had no appetite at all, didn’t want to eat at all, he still made every effort to eat, to swallow the food.

He only knew he had to survive.

His wife was still alive, he needed to survive.

Unless he saw his wife’s corpse with his own eyes, otherwise, he must live.

Or rather, he dared not die.

He was afraid that if he died, the road to hell wouldn’t have his wife on it.

This cycle of eating and vomiting lasted for nearly half a month. Xiao Changyi lost a lot of weight. Although he eventually stopped vomiting, his appetite decreased significantly, and he could eat only a little at each meal. If he ate slightly more, he would vomit again.

Now, Xiao Changyi liked to talk even less.

He might not say a single word in a day.

Afraid to die, Xiao Changyi now also tried hard to let himself fall asleep, but even in his dreams, it was all about An Jing.

On the twenty-first of June, Xiao Changyi finally returned to the mansion of King of Xiyun. An Jing had been missing for exactly a month. All around Xiyun, the government officials had searched everywhere with An Jing’s portrait, but there was still no trace of her.
