Although the snow had stopped, there was a heavy haze in the mountains, and Huiliu Mountain was wrapped in clouds and mist. Xiaodong opened the window to look in the direction of Lunjian Peak, but naturally he couldn't see anything.
After talking for a while, Senior Brother Jiang stood up: "Senior Senior Brother is not here for a few days, so he entrusted me to change Junior Brother Chen's medicine. I will go to his place right now, are you going?"
"Let's go together." Xiaodong got up quickly: "I'm going with Senior Brother. Speaking of which, how did Senior Brother Chen's leg hurt?"
"He said it was dark and the road was slippery, so be careful." Jiang Fan took the medicine and went out with his junior brother.
Xiaosheng counted the days and found that Senior Brother Chen was injured on the day he went to see him to give him the gauntlet. When he left, it was almost dark, the wind was so strong, and it was still snowing.
As soon as Jiang Fan turned his head, he saw that Xiaodong's head had drooped, looking like a little cabbage beaten by frost.
"Little brother? What's wrong with you?"
Xiaodong felt uncomfortable: "If Brother Chen didn't visit me that day, maybe he wouldn't be hurt..."
Jiang Fan thought it was something, but when he heard that he was taking advantage of this horn, he was angry and funny at the same time.
"Don't think about it. Brother Chen is not you. With his kung fu, this kind of wind and snow is nothing to him. He also said that he was hurt because he didn't pay attention. It's not like you. It doesn't matter."
Although Senior Brother Jiang said so, Xiaodong still couldn't let go.
When we got to the door, we heard someone talking in the room. Senior Brother Jiang was a little surprised, and asked outside: "Is Junior Brother Chen here?"
Chen Jingzhi came out to meet him with his injured leg, and the person who came out behind him was none other than Senior Sister Lin Yan who followed Senior Liu up the mountain.
In terms of age that day, Lin Yan was one year older than Jiang Fan, compared to her, Senior Sister Linglong was so rough that she didn't even look like a girl. It's not about appearance, in terms of appearance alone, Senior Sister Linglong is not ugly, but she wears coarse clothes all day long and her hair is not as neat as Xiaodong's. Looking at Lin Yan again, her eyebrows can be seen to be painted, her face is thinly powdered, her clothes are well-dressed, and she speaks softly. Let Jiang Fan say, this is what a girl looks like. Like Linglong, who has a temperament of smashing tables and benches when she disagrees with her, how can she be like a girl? It's just a kid born in the wrong place.
Xiaodong didn't like this Senior Sister Lin very much. He couldn't say why, maybe it was because the fragrance from Senior Sister Lin was too strong and weird, standing next to her, Xiaodong couldn't breathe, he was a guest from afar, so he couldn't use his hands to give her nose Cover it
Lin Yan greeted their brothers with a smile and said, "Then Junior Brother Chen, take care of your wounds, and I will go back first."
Fortunately, if she didn't leave, Xiaodong's nose would suffer again. As soon as Lin Yan passed by, there was another gust of fragrant wind. Xiaodong quietly held his breath until she was far away before exhaling heavily. Together with Senior Brother Jiang, he helped Chen Jingzhi into the house.
"Your legs still hurt people, so don't be too particular about these empty gifts." Brother Jiang helped him sit down, and took out the medicine bottle he brought: "Come on, roll up your trouser legs and let me see how the injury is." .”
Chen Jingzhi said softly: "My injury is already much better, brother, don't run here purposely, I also have the ointment here, I can just change the medicine myself."
Jiang Fanxin said that Junior Brother Chen was not good at this point, and that Junior Brother was also like this when he first came here, he was too polite. If you have something to do, just put yourself in your heart and don't like to tell others. Why do you have to treat each other like this when you get along with your brothers? And why so much etiquette? Of course, etiquette should be there, but if it goes too far, it becomes a rejection of people thousands of miles away. Just like this time when he was injured, it was the right thing for the seniors to take care of him. He only wanted to not trouble others, but he didn't think that it was only natural for the seniors to take care of each other.
The junior brother was ill last time, and the senior brothers took turns to take care of him. After that, he gradually became cheerful and became close to others. He was very lovable when talking and laughing.
But it was difficult for Junior Brother Chen, he was stubborn and thoughtful, he wouldn't listen to anything advised him.
After Chen Jingzhi took the medicine given by Mo Chen, he recovered very quickly, it would seem that the wound has healed. Jiang Fan put on the ointment he brought in the future, and then re-bandaged it: "Your leg will probably be fine after changing the medicine twice. It's a pity, it's rare to have guests these days, and you have to refrain from eating good food. , I can’t drink the wine either.”
Xiaodong had been watching by the side without saying a word just now, and now he had time to ask: "Senior brother Chen, is your leg hurting badly?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." After Chen Jingzhi finished speaking, he saw the sad expression on the younger brother's face. After thinking about it, he probably wouldn't believe it, so he changed his words and said, "It doesn't hurt much when you don't move. It hurts when you walk around." a little."
Jiang Fan said to him: "That's why I told you to move less. By the way, why was that Senior Sister Lin here just now?"
Chen Jingzhi paused, and then said: "I met her before, and she knew that my leg was injured, so she sent some wound medicine."
"You guys knew each other before? How did you know each other? Are you on good terms?" Not to mention Jiang Fan, now even Xiaodong looked at him curiously.
"That was before I came back to Liushan, that is, casual acquaintance. After such a long time, I don't recognize her anymore, but she still remembers me."
Once Jiang Fan heard that it happened before he became a teacher, he didn't ask any more questions. Junior brother Chen almost never talked about the things before his apprenticeship, and he didn't even mention anything about the members of the Chen family. Jiang Fan also understood his difficulties. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. These things are the secrets of the Chen family. Junior brother Chen lost his mother, and must have suffered a great crime at the hands of his stepmother. It's best not to think about these things, why bother to get to the bottom of it.
Jiang Fan wanted to tease Chen Jingzhi a few words, but when he saw his overly serious face and his preoccupied expression, he lost all interest. I remember one time when he sat down and talked with the senior brother and the fourth junior brother when they were tired from practicing the exercises. Jiang Fan loves to joke, and he told a fresh joke, but the two people who listened to it didn't join in. Senior brother looked at the sky blankly, and Junior Brother Chen held his sword tightly. Jiang Fan's fresh joke was not appreciated by anyone. After laughing dryly twice, I couldn't laugh anymore.
Looking back, it's better to be a junior brother. He put everything on his face, and said what he had to say, how happy it was to go straight.
Junior brother Chen is different from them. The few of them, including the junior brother, have no relatives or reasons. Junior brother Chen is different. He is here, but his heart is not. Even if he didn't say it explicitly, Jiang Fan could vaguely guess that Junior Brother Chen would probably leave one day. The Chen family is his relatives and his enemies, and he will definitely go back again. (to be continued)
