The low, hoarse and weak voice was not at all like what the clear and bright young man made when they first met. The Shangjun held the medicine bowl in his hand, almost crushed the bowl, and his tone became irritable, "Don't talk nonsense, how many times have I coaxed me? You? I can accompany you to drink wine at any time. If you are told to sleep, you will sleep. Don't talk."
The body is almost out of control, Xiao Zongqing can only turn his head slightly, look at the low table not far away, and say: "There is a letter I wrote to my brothers on the table, if I die, you help me hand it over to them , they won't embarrass you." That was written by Shang Jun after he left last night. He came to find Shang Jun because of his own willful actions, but he could not let Shang Jun be wrongly blamed by his brothers for this.
There was a crisp sound, and the medicine bowl was crushed by Shang Jun, almost choked with a request, Shang Jun whispered: "I said that you are not allowed to speak, go to sleep."
Xiao Zongqing laughed lowly and closed his eyes obediently. Shang Jun was angry again, it would be great if he could always see him angry.
Another day began. Ruan Tingyu walked towards the tent where Xiao Zongqing was with the medicine, and carefully opened the tent. Although the sun was getting higher and higher outside, it was still a little dark in the tent. Xiao Zongqing calmed down. Lying on the bed, breathing was much calmer. Shang Jun sat on the stool with his head on the edge of the bed and fell asleep. The sunlight that came in when the curtain was lifted made Shang Jun frown unconsciously, maybe because he was too tired, he didn't wake up.
Ruan Tingyu quickly lowered the curtain to isolate the sun from the tent. She gently put down the medicinal soup, picked up a thin quilt at the end of the bed, and gently covered Shang Jun. The Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here, and the morning at Linfengguan is still a little cool. Shang Jun suddenly moved, making Ruan Tingyu's hands stiff. Fortunately, he just turned his head to the side without opening his eyes, and continued to sleep. It is conceivable that he was really tired these days. .
His profile face, soft and smooth, with a high nose, perfect lip shape, and his eyelashes, are very long. It was the first time that Ruan Tingyu stared at him so closely, and Ruan Tingyu looked a little crazy.
Xiao Zongqing felt that he had slept for a long time, but there was no pain all over his body. He opened his eyes with difficulty, and he was looking at the simple bed. For a moment, he didn't know where he was. He turned his head slightly, but saw Ruan Tingyu staring at Shang Jun's sleeping face flushed, extremely ambiguous.
Xiao Zongqing's eyes were wide open, only to feel a surge of anger going straight to his forehead, the original chaos was swept away, and a loud and violent cough shook Ruan Tingyu embarrassedly and quickly stepped back several steps, Shang Jun was also shocked Immediately opened his eyes.
"San'er?" Shang Jun asked nervously, "How are you?"
Xiao Zongqing didn't turn his head away, and replied angrily, "Headache." He didn't know what he was angry about, but he felt uncomfortable anyway.
Shang Jun poured a glass of water and said softly, "Drink some water."
Xiao Zongqing took his hand, gulped a drink, fell on the bed, and continued to sullen.
Shang Jun looked at the empty water glass in his hand and said with a smile: "You seem to be in better spirits." I don't know what San'er is making trouble with, but compared to last night's sluggishness, it's much better now. Shang Jun turned around in a good mood, and said to Ruan Tingyu who had been standing behind him with his head bowed, "Tingyu, your brother's medicine has really worked. Please fry another bowl and bring it over."
He should not have noticed that she had been looking at him just now. Ruan Tingyu turned around with a blushing face, picked up the medicine, and replied in a low voice, "It's already fried, my brother asked you to come over."
Shang Jun got up and said gently: "Okay, please help me take care of it."
"Yeah." Ruan Tingyu nodded.
"San'er, you drink the medicine and take a good rest. I'll see you later."
Who wants her to take care of! Xiao Zongqing struggled to stand up and shouted, "Give me the medicine, I'm not a child, I don't need anyone else to take care of me." He reached out and took the soup bowl in Ruan Tingyu's hand, closed his eyes, and poured the medicine into it In the mouth, drink cleanly, then put down the medicine bowl, don't turn around and lie down, tugging at random with the sheet and almost covering your head, growling impatiently: "You all go, don't disturb me to rest."
Shang Jun shook his head amusingly, not knowing who he was angry with, maybe he was embarrassed to be alone in a house with the girl. Seeing that he was in good spirits, Shang Jun smiled at Ruan Tingyu and said, "Let's go."
The two walked out of the tent side by side, Xiao Zongqing lifted the sheets with force, and stared at the top of the bed, what was he doing now? !
Just as Shang Jun walked out of the tent, he saw Ruan Tingfeng walking towards the decoction pharmacy with a large amount of herbal medicine in his hand. Seeing Shang Jun, Ruan Tingfeng said with a smile on his face: "Shang Jun, the green hanging grass finally works. The symptoms of the villagers who tried it have improved, and their consciousness has become clearer."
After so many days, it was the first time he saw Ruan Tingfeng so excited and smiled so easily, Shang Jun also infected his good mood and said with a smile: "That's great, since it's effective, make more decoctions. , distribute it to the villagers, the epidemic has dragged on long enough."
"Okay." Looking at the tent behind Shang Jun, Ruan Tingfeng asked with concern, "How is Young Master Xiao?"
Shang Jun smiled lightly and replied, "I've taken your medicine, and it's better than yesterday. Have you seen the soldiers in the back mountain?"
"I went to see it in the morning, and there is no sign of the disease at present." He also took some medicinal soup over there. If someone is infected, he can be treated in time.
"Yeah." Shang Jun nodded reassuringly.
Shang Jun followed Ruan Tingfeng to the pharmacy, and many villagers took the initiative to greet them along the way. Everyone heard that there was already a medicinal soup for the treatment of epidemic diseases, and there seemed to be hope in their hearts, and the haze shrouded in Huqiu Village. It seems to dissipate a lot with the hot sun.
Shang Jun was thoughtful along the way, but his brows never opened. Ruan Tingfeng asked inexplicably, "Why are you still troubled by Shangjun?"
Shang Jun shook his head and sighed softly: "There is one thing that should have been done half a month ago, but the epidemic is serious, so I don't feel relieved, now that the carrion has been buried, and the medicine has worked, I should do it as well. thing, it's just—"
According to Bi Xian, the Mid-Autumn Festival in August is the best time to go to the sea, and the danger is the least, especially for people like him who are going there for the first time, they should seize this opportunity. He should have been prepared a long time ago, but he didn't expect the plague to break out again. Now it's less than a month away from the Mid-Autumn Festival. He should be able to catch up. It was San'er that his condition improved slightly, and he was always worried.
Ruan Tingfeng had already heard what Shang Jun didn't want to say, and promised: "If there is something that can't be delayed, you can go. I will take good care of Xiao Gongzi for you."
Shang Jun bowed his hands slightly and sincerely thanked: "Then I will trouble you."
"Shangjun, you don't need to be polite."
Although Ruan Tingfeng's promise was made, but thinking of San'er's stubborn temper, Shang Jun decided to wait for three or five days before leaving. It was already so many days late, and he didn't care about these days. He got up.
Three days later.
The epidemic is basically under control. Today, there are no new villagers infected with the epidemic. Since Ruan Tingfeng's concoction took effect, no one has died because of the epidemic. San'er can walk around the ground and eat normally. He can prepare for the trip to the sea, but before he goes, he still misses one person.
Hurrying back to Misty Villa, Yang Zhong waited early in the hall and sighed, "Master, you can finally go home." Although it was only ten days, he was worried about his master's safety every day, and it was really torturous.
Shang Jun smiled and asked, "Where's Xiao'er?"
Yang Zhong replied with some embarrassment: "Miss didn't see you for more than ten days, and the trouble was so bad that the old slave was afraid that she would be in danger if she ran out, so he asked the guards to guard the door of Yongle Pavilion. She is still sulking in the room now. The old slave is getting better."
He knew that Xiaoer's stubbornness must be very nerve-racking. Shang Jun patted Yang Zhong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaoer is naughty, thank you for your hard work."
After all, the young lady is the master, he is the servant, locked her in the room, the master did not blame him, but thanked him, but Yang Zhong was a little embarrassed, shook his head repeatedly, not daring to take credit.
As Shang Jun walked to Yongle Pavilion, he explained: "You help me choose ten strong bodyguards who can adapt to sailing at sea and can swim with me, and go to the East China Sea with me tomorrow." The rich helmsman is ready, and he hardly has to worry about it. He is afraid that the guards will not adapt to life at sea and sail for more than ten days, which will embarrass them.
"Yes."
"The return date of this sailing trip is uncertain, Xiao'er has to ask you again." The trip to the sea, sailing, stocking, and trading, will take two or three months at least. I hope this girl will not make trouble.
Yang Zhong hurriedly bowed his hands and replied: "Master is serious, this old slave will definitely do his best to take good care of the young lady."
Shang Jun nodded with satisfaction, and walked towards Yongle Pavilion without stagnation. When he walked to the door, the four guards were startled when they saw Shang Jun, and then saluted. Shang Jun waved his hand, and the four figures quickly disappeared in front of Yongle Pavilion.
Before entering the yard, he heard the sound of leaves brushing to the ground. Mr. Shang was puzzled, and stepped into the garden. He saw Shang Xiao sitting on the stone bench, pulling out the bushes in the garden with both hands. , I don't know what I'm muttering. Looking around, the lush and beautiful gardens that used to be lush and beautiful are now falling leaves and flowers all over the place.
Shang Jun laughed and whispered: "Xiao'er, are you trying to destroy flowers?"
"Brother!" Hearing Shang Jun's voice, Shang Xiao looked surprised, but remembered that he ignored her for more than ten days, and even locked her up, Shang Xiao was very unwilling, and pulled the leaves harder and harder. "You don't want me, don't you?"
Shang Jun reluctantly walked to her side, half squatted down, grabbed Shang Xiao's two busy hands, and gently patted off the leaves on her palm. She was thirteen years old this year. When you get angry, you can only do these childish things. thing. Shang Jun didn't intend to hide her, and explained: "I went to Huqiu Village to deal with the plague. I was afraid of getting sick and didn't dare to come to see you."
Shang Xiao widened his eyes, withdrew his hand and stroked Shang Jun's forehead, and said anxiously, "Then do you feel any discomfort?"
Taking Shang Xiao's hand, Shang Jun replied: "Don't worry, I can come to see you, which means that the epidemic has been brought under control. When you grow up, even if I am not by your side, you are not allowed to be willful, you know?"
"Well." Shang Xiao nodded and asked in a low voice, "Then you won't go out recently, right?"
Facing Xiao'er's hopeful eyes, Shang Jun opened his mouth, but couldn't bear to say it, he didn't dare to look into Xiao'er's eyes, and finally, he told Shang Xiao of his itinerary, "Tomorrow I'm going to a visit. Going to the East China Sea, it may take several months to come back.”
Shang Xiao seemed to have had a hunch that this would be the result, and lowered his head in disappointment, but did not act like a spoiled child. "Then, would you like to have a meal with me at home tonight?" They hadn't had a meal together for more than a month.
The low and depressed voice made Shang Jun's heart tighten for a while. He may not really be a competent brother.
Swallowing the pain in his heart, just like every time he went down the mountain before, Shang Jun lightly scratched her nose and coaxed: "Okay. Let the kitchen make the wine balls that we all love, and see who eats the most. "
"Yeah." Shang Xiao nodded vigorously, the two of them held hands and walked towards the front hall. The sunset was as beautiful and splendid as in the impression, just because the person around him was the one he cared about the most. There was a happy smile on her face, yes, happiness is simple sometimes.
