For the next two days, Zhang Kanwen and I stayed in the room with the fatty. Although God's Punishment had passed, we didn't know if it would befall again.
After all, the purpose of God's Punishment was to find out what the fatty had seen. But now, Zhang Kanwen and I had seen that sentence, and the fatty was still alive.
The purpose of God's Punishment hadn't been achieved, and we couldn't guarantee if there would be a next time.
Zhang Kanwen and I were fine. Under God's Punishment, we had profited from the disaster, and our power had increased. Even if God's Punishment befell again, we would still have the power to fight back.
However, the fatty was currently at his weakest. If it came again, he wouldn't be able to survive. So, we could only stay close to him and take care of him.
On the other hand, although Zhang Kanwen had checked the fatty's body and said that he was fine and would wake up within three days, the power of God's Punishment was unpredictable.
Even Zhang Kanwen himself didn't dare to say that there was absolutely no problem with the results of his examination.
We could only stay by the fatty's side to prevent any other accidents.
Time passed quickly. In the next two days, nothing happened. The fatty's condition was neither good nor bad. He was still lying on the bed in a coma. His breathing was stable, and his body temperature was normal. However, he didn't respond to external stimuli.
Zhang Kanwen said that he would sleep for three days, so I wasn't in a hurry and took care of him personally every day.
On the third day, because I knew that the fatty would wake up today, I didn't go anywhere for the entire day. I ate in the room.
The day was very short. Soon, the sky darkened. The sun was setting in the west. Through the window, I saw that some of the tall buildings in the surrounding area had already lit up, preparing to welcome the darkness.
At that moment, the fatty was still lying on the bed, and there was no sign of him waking up.
I started to feel anxious and kept pacing in the room.
Zhang Kanwen came in from outside the door and glanced at the fatty from afar. He sat opposite me and asked softly, "Still not awake?"
I didn't answer, but frowned and shook my head.
Zhang Kanwen's complexion wasn't any better than mine. In the past few days, besides occasionally taking care of Little Wang Li, he had spent most of his time sitting in the room with me, waiting for the fatty's news.
Obviously, he was worried about the fatty and the counterattack of God's Punishment.
In this dusk, time seemed to have frozen, becoming slow and heavy, pressing down on everyone to the point of suffocation.
I understood that the three days that Zhang Kanwen mentioned was just a general concept. There was no difference between waking up a day earlier or a day later.
However, the anxiety he had accumulated over the past few days had completely exploded on the last day. His heart just couldn't calm down.
Seeing that I didn't want to talk, Zhang Kanwen didn't say anything else. He remained silent like me. Sometimes, he would look at the fat guy, and sometimes, he would look at the lights in the distance. The room was so quiet that only the three of us could hear our breathing.
As the sky gradually darkened, the Antique Town downstairs entered the busiest time of the day again. It was bustling with noise and excitement.
Some people laughed and squeezed into the crowd, while others stood where they were and called their friends.
As I listened to their voices, I felt increasingly lonely and pressured.
I don't have many friends, and even fewer relatives. To me, Fatty is both a friend and a relative. Now that I don't know if he's alive or dead, how can I remain calm?
I thought of the Heavenly Dao again.
Previously, the so-called 'Heavenly Dao' had already detained my wife. This time, it's the same thing that injured my brother.
Regardless of whether Fatty could wake up or not, the grudge between me and the Heavenly Dao had increased.
In the midst of my uneasiness and hatred, the night sky couldn't be stopped anymore. The room was dark. Zhang Kanwen stood up and prepared to turn on the lights.
The light and slow footsteps sounded especially ear-piercing in the extremely quiet room at this time.
Suddenly, other than the breathing of the three of us and Zhang Kanwen's footsteps, there was another sound in the room.
"Sh * t, why am I blind?"
It's Fatty!
The moment I heard the voice, I confirmed that it was Fatty.
I quickly stood up from the bed and ran to Fatty's side in the dark.
Hearing Fatty's voice, Zhang Kanwen's movements sped up. Following a crisp "pa", the room suddenly lit up at the same time I reached the side of the bed.
Fatty had been unconscious for many days. Suddenly coming into contact with such strong light, his pupils dilated and he exclaimed, "It's so bright. Where is this place?"
Fatty's voice was weak, but his tone was the same as usual. He laid on the bed and grabbed the blanket on top of him, hiding his head under it. The entire movement was done in one go.
Seeing him like that, my worried heart finally calmed down.
Just then, Zhang Kanwen rushed over from the door and looked at Fatty with me.
After a while, Fatty quietly put down the blanket. After confirming that Zhang Kanwen and I were standing next to the bed, he lifted the blanket and jumped up from the bed. He hugged my neck with one hand and Zhang Kanwen with the other. He shouted happily, "Third Baby, Old Zhang, I thought I would never see you again.
It's great that I'm still alive! "
Zhang Kanwen and I weren't prepared yet, so we were suddenly hugged by the fat man. We almost lost our balance and fell down. However, the fat man's action had undeniably resolved the haze that Zhang Kanwen and I had been feeling for the past few days.
"Alright, alright. Now that you've just woken up, you should lie down first.
Are you hungry? I'll go and get you something to eat, "Zhang Kanwen patted Fatty's back and said.
Fatty hadn't eaten for three days, so he was probably very hungry. After hearing the suggestion, he naturally agreed happily. After saying 'okay' three times, he obediently lay back on the bed.
Zhang Kanwen hurriedly left, and soon returned with a small bowl of porridge that he had prepared.
Xie Chenghua, Liu Chuande and the others also came with him. When they arrived at Fatty's bedside, they kept asking him how he was feeling.
It was obvious that Fatty's sleep for the past few days had not only affected Zhang Kanwen and my mood, but also the mood of the entire store. Now that Fatty had woken up, everyone's smile reappeared on their faces.
Unexpectedly receiving so much concern, Fatty sat on the bed and smiled foolishly, continuously thanking everyone.
After a long time, after everyone confirmed that Fatty was fine, they left one by one. Only Zhang Kanwen and I were left in the room.
After watching everyone leave, Fatty finally heaved a long sigh of relief. Without any hesitation, he ordered Zhang Kanwen and me, "Quick, help me up. I'm starving!"
His body was weak, so Zhang Kanwen and I helped him up from the bed to the dining table.
When Fatty saw the food on the table, he immediately wailed, "Third Baby, Old Zhang, you guys, you guys are too crazy. Just two bowls of porridge … I'm so weak right now, you can't treat me like this. I want to eat meat!"
Two bowls of porridge and a few side dishes. For someone like Fatty who couldn't live without meat, it was indeed a bit dismal.
Zhang Kanwen and I took turns to comfort him, telling him that he had just woken up, so it wasn't good to eat greasy food. He needed to rest for a while.
At first, Fatty refuted us, saying that his body was good, so he didn't need to rest. He just needed to eat a lot of meat, and the meatier the better. However, seeing that Zhang Kanwen and I didn't allow him to refuse, he finally accepted his fate and ate the two bowls of porridge with a bitter face.
This guy really seemed to be starving. At first, he said that he didn't want to eat, but in the end, he didn't even have a drop of porridge left.
Seeing that he had finished eating, Zhang Kanwen and I helped him back to the bed and asked him about his current situation.
I asked him, "Fatty, do you feel like there's anything wrong with your body?"
Fatty looked at me suspiciously, then at Zhang Kanwen. Then, he pinched his body and closed his eyes to feel for a while. Nodding, he said, "There … There shouldn't be any problem. Besides feeling a little weak, my body feels quite comfortable."
Hearing that, the last stone in my heart was lifted, and I heaved a long sigh of relief. It was good that Fatty was fine. My worries for the past few days weren't in vain.
Just as I heaved a sigh of relief, Fatty's expression suddenly changed. He shouted, "Something's wrong!
What's going on?
Where's my Dao energy?
Third Baby, I can't feel my Dao energy! "
What?
Zhang Kanwen and I had just recovered, but our expressions changed again.
