Jiang Fan didn't pay much attention to what he was listening to, and turned his head several times to look at Chen Jingzhi who was sitting beside him. When the big brother came to an end, he finally couldn't help it, and asked him in a low voice: "Junior brother, are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Jingzhi looked up at him, then lowered his eyes: "It's nothing."
"Is it because the wind was too strong last night and I didn't sleep well? It can't be because I caught a cold. Don't take it seriously, you see how the younger brother is sick. If you are sick, you should be cured earlier."
"Brother, I'm really fine."
He insisted so much, Jiang Fan couldn't persuade him any more, and scratched his head in distress, making the messy hair even more messy.
Junior brother Chen is very thoughtful, he knows that he must be bored with a lot of things, but no matter how he asks, he just refuses to open his mouth. It really makes people have no choice but to use a pickaxe to force his teeth Pry it open
Alas, the younger brothers are not worrying, the younger brother is fine, the fourth brother should not get sick again.
Waiting for the morning class to end, Jiang Fan hurried to the front, seeing that Mo Chen was free at the moment: "Brother, I have something to discuss with you."
Mo Chen put the booklet written in his heart into his sleeve: "Okay, let's talk while walking."
"It's nothing else, it's about Junior Brother Chen. I saw that he looked very bad today, and when I asked him if he was unwell, he refused to tell. Since I saw him in the morning, he seemed preoccupied..."
Mo Chen nodded and said nothing.
Junior brother Chen is very worried, he and junior junior brother are not the same thing. The junior brother died suddenly because of his only family member. As long as the people around him care and take care of him, after a long time, they will finally be relieved.
But Junior Brother Chen is different. He was suffocating in his heart, even though the master didn't say it clearly, Mo Chen was able to figure out some clues from the news he had heard. The death of Junior Brother Chen's mother was not simple. It was not only related to the woman married to the Chen family, but also Junior Brother Chen's father. There is no life. It is impossible for anyone to let go of this kind of human tragedy. What is Junior Brother Chen full of? Mo Chen could give an answer without even thinking about it.
revenge.
But he doesn't have that ability now, and it's impossible for Huiliu Mountain to do it for him. After all, this is a family matter of the Chen family. Whether the husband kills his wife or the father kills his son, it is the Chen family's own business to shut the door. There is really no way to return to Liushan. Secondly, the Chen family is very powerful, and Huiliu Mountain's masters and apprentices are not enough to count as a fraction of the family, and they are alone, so they may not be the opponents of the Chen family.
It's good enough for the master to accept Junior Brother Chen and give him protection. It's impossible to help Junior Brother Chen go back to his family to take revenge.
The hatred in Junior Brother Chen's heart did not diminish with the passage of time, but instead accumulated thicker and thicker. He could only think about this, thinking about it in his sleep and dreams.
I don't know what this heavy snow brought back to his mind about the past.
"I see, I'll go and see him later."
Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, senior brother advises him...don't be so self-sufficient."
Mo Chen just nodded.
But he didn't think he could persuade Fourth Junior Brother either.
This is not something that can be explained in words.
Those outer disciples and handymen who got up early in the morning swept the snow, and saw that there was another thick layer on the ground in the past half a day. Most of the firewood, rice, and vegetables used on the mountain are sent from the bottom of the mountain. After the winter, a lot of these things have been stocked up. There are also a lot of cured fish, bacon, ham, and steak. It is not a problem to use them for most of the winter, otherwise such a strong wind Snow, the mountain roads are difficult to pass, and nothing can be delivered, and famine is about to hit the mountain.
When Mo Chen walked outside the gate of Chen Jingzhi's courtyard, the door was closed. Before he could knock on the door, the courtyard door opened from the inside. The people inside the door were more surprised than Mo Chen, their expressions changed drastically, and they stuttered A: "Big, big brother."
Of course, Mo Chen knew who this person was, he was an outer disciple, surnamed Chu, everyone called him Chu Er, but he didn't know if he was really Xing Er or just a nickname. Normally, Mo Chen didn't like this person very much, his eyes were slick and his mouth was slippery, and he wanted to change from an outside disciple to a house disciple.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to make progress, every disciple of the outer sect wants to officially become a teacher, but this energy must be used on the right path, and they cannot stop doing the business, always thinking of following others and taking advantage of others.
Mo Chen agreed with a hum, and Chu Er's back felt chills when he saw him, and he slipped out of the door as if he had been pardoned.
Chen Jingzhi also greeted him from the door: "Elder brother."
Mo Chen looked at him carefully at this moment, his complexion was indeed very bad, his lips were bloodless, and his face was haggard. Compared with his younger brother, he looked more like he was injured or just recovering from a serious illness.
It looked fine yesterday, how could it be like this now
No wonder Jiang Fan was so worried.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Jingzhi could fool around with Jiang Fan just now, but he couldn't do it with the senior brother. After a moment of silence, he sat down on a chair beside him and slowly rolled up his trouser legs, revealing a three-inch-long scar on his calf.
Mo Chen was taken aback, and when he looked carefully, the scar was very fresh, and the blood had stopped after applying ointment, but the wound was deep, and the skin on the edge was slightly turned out, which looked very scary.
"How did you do it?"
Chen Jingzhi was fine yesterday, the junior brother said that senior brother Chen went to see him, and there was nothing unusual at that time. "Last night, the wind was strong, and I slipped, and my leg touched the top of the sharp stone."
Mo Chen could tell that this was indeed not a sword wound.
But it's not been a day or two for Junior Brother Chen to go up the mountain, such a snowy day shouldn't be too much trouble for him.
I don't know how he was injured.
Mo Chen thought of Chu Er who just saw him sneaking out with a guilty look. Could it be that the junior brother's injury has something to do with that Chu Er
"The ointment for rubbing is not good. The wound is deep and needs to be wrapped up. It doesn't matter if it is left like this, it will heal slowly, and it is easy to repeat."
Mo Chen took out a medicine bottle and poured out a pill: "Take this."
Chen Jingzhi is a man of knowledge, quickly took the pill with both hands, and said softly, "Thank you, senior brother."
This is the elixir refined by the master, and the ingredients are expensive. After Chen Jing went up the mountain, he heard that the master had also refined it in one furnace. Because the elder brother always had to go down the mountain, the master specially gave him a few pills. The injury on his body was not a great injury, yet the elder brother gave him a pill of this medicine.
Chen Jingzhi swallowed the elixir, the senior brother asked someone to fetch hot water, wiped off the original ointment on his leg, reapplied the good medicine, wrapped his leg with a clean white cloth, and told him to leave when he got up to leave. He: "Don't move around more these days, rest more, change the medicine once every three days, and I will come over then. Master should be back in a few days, and the younger brother should recover from the injury earlier, so that the master won't worry."
Chen Jingzhi lowered his head and replied, "I've made a note, senior brother, don't worry."
How did he get injured? Mo Chen didn't ask any more questions. After he came out, he asked someone to call Chu Er, but the sent person searched around and came back and said, "Brother, I haven't found Chu Er anywhere. I know where he went again."
"Forget it, when you see him, let him come to me immediately."
"Yes. Senior brother, did Chu Er get into some trouble? Could he be hiding with a guilty conscience?"
It's hard to say, Mo Chen just felt that the injury of Junior Brother Chen probably had something to do with this Chu Er, otherwise why Chu Er was so guilty when he saw him. Even if it had nothing to do with him, Chu Er probably knew the reason why his junior was injured.
It's fine if he doesn't hide, but if he hides like this, it shows that he has a ghost in his heart. (to be continued)
