Jiang Fan thought so, nodded and said, "Very well, thanks for reminding me."
He grew up on the mountain, as did the elder brother and senior sister Linglong. He didn't think as much about etiquette and defense against men and women than the people down the mountain.
Junior brother Chen has only been here for more than a year, and he was also someone who invited his husband to read poetry and books in his home before, so he is indeed more thoughtful than him.
When Linglong brought the water, Jiang Fan found a reason to send her to the next door, rolled up his sleeves, and together with Chen Jingzhi, he untied the clothes of the little junior brother who was already burned, flushed and unconscious, and twisted the towel to wipe it for him. Cool down.
If you don't wipe it, you don't know, Jiang Fan is getting more and more frightened when he touches his hands.
The little junior was burning all over his body, even if Jiang Fan had never learned the pulse from his master, he knew that it would be inappropriate to be burned like this.
He had heard of someone who burned his head and became an idiot because of a persistent high fever.
When the master left, everything was obviously fine. The master was afraid that Senior Sister Linglong would be unstable, so he specifically told him to take good care of her senior sister and younger brother. But after only half a day's effort, the younger brother became ill like this.
Jiang Fan was in a hurry, he was already a little fat, and it was obviously late autumn, and he was already sweating all over his body.
Chen Jingzhi twisted another warm towel, folded it and put it on the forehead of the younger brother.
He was also very worried.
Junior brother's body is so hot that it is dry heat, and normal people will naturally sweat when they are hot, but junior brother just doesn't sweat, so the fever can't come down naturally.
He regretted it a little.
It would be great if he persuaded the senior sister to bring the younger juniors down the mountain during the day, otherwise, if he went down the mountain together, maybe he could remind them to some extent. The senior sister has a carefree temper and has never been able to take care of others, but the younger junior brother has been ignoring food and drink because of his uncle's death, and his body is not considered strong.
But at that time, he was thinking about his own affairs, and he was so upset that he didn't think about it.
He wiped Yun Xiaodong's neck, afraid that the towel would wet his clothes, so he leaned over and pushed Yun Xiaodong's collar aside.
Yun Xiaodong has a slender neck, and the two collarbones protrude even more. A red rope was hung close to his neck, and a pendant the size of a lotus seed was tied to the rope, which looked like a peach pit to ward off evil spirits hung on ordinary children. Chen Jingzhi stood there looking at the pendant. Jiang Fan called him twice before he came back to his senses and answered quickly.
"What's your order, brother?"
Jiang Fan felt that he was probably sleepy, so he was out of spirits, "You go to see the senior sister, and bring a cup of hot water to feed the junior brother some water."
Chen Jingzhi responded and went.
There were only Jiang Fan and Yun Xiaodong left in the room. The night in Huiliu Mountain was very windy, and the north wind blew past. The sound was like howling tigers and wolves. .
Little junior brother must not have any good or bad, otherwise let alone their senior brothers, even the master will feel uncomfortable. The master's friend knew that his life was not long, so he deliberately dragged his sick body up the mountain to entrust his nephew to the master. At that time, the master also agreed, and Jiang Fan heard it clearly. But it has only been a year, and the little junior brother...
Jiang Fan couldn't sit still, and walked back and forth in circles in front of Yun Xiaodong's bed. On the bed, Yun Xiaodong was dazed with fever, and moaned indistinctly from his throat.
Hearing that he seemed to be crying or calling someone, Jiang Fan moved closer and asked softly, "Little brother? Can you hear me?"
The door of the room was pushed open behind him, Jiang Fan didn't look back, just stretched out his hand and waved it back: "Junior, give me the water?"
The person behind asked, "What water?"
Jiang Fan was both surprised and happy when he heard the voice, and the strength of turning his head was so great that his neck muscles ached.
"Big brother!"
Later, Yun Xiaodong recalled the night when he was sick. Of course, he didn't know what was going on outside his body when he was sick with a high fever. He just felt hot, hot and thirsty. He heard people walking and talking beside him in a daze, and he could feel someone wiping his hands, feet, forehead and neck, but he couldn't open his eyes or speak, and his mind was dazed.
He knew that Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Sister Linglong, and Senior Brother Chen were all in the room, beside his bed, they looked anxious and circled around him.
He also remembered that he seemed to vomit, more than once.
For a while, Xiaodong always felt that he should not remember what happened that night, and all the things he recalled later were probably all his own imagination later.
What he remembered most clearly was after he opened his eyes in the morning.
He didn't know what time it was outside, but the sky was already bright, and the window was shining brightly, his eyes opened a crack, and then narrowed because of fear of light.
He heard someone nearby say, "Ah, you're awake."
The voice was very clear and gentle, indescribably pleasant.
Xiaodong opened his eyes with difficulty, and turned his head slightly to look.
A man stood in front of the bed, put his hand on his forehead, and said with a slight smile, "The fever is gone. How do you feel about your body? Is there any discomfort?"
Xiaodong had never seen this person before, but he guessed his identity from his clothes and words.
"Elder brother?"
The person beside the bed nodded to him: "It's me, little junior brother is really smart. It's the first time we've met, and you recognized me even when you were sick."
Because in the past few months, he has heard too much about the big brother.
Everyone is praising him, he is the master's big disciple, and he is a pivotal figure in Huiliu Mountain. Senior Sister Linglong said that he was highly talented, and he taught both herself and Jiang Fan's sword skills. Brother Jiang said that he has a good temper, and he has never spoken loudly to anyone, let alone quarreled with others or scolded and scolded the subordinates. Even the fourth senior brother, who has never talked much, said that the senior senior brother is very good.
When other people on the mountain mentioned him, they also talked about his hands, especially the young girls, who would blush when they mentioned Senior Brother.
At that time Xiaodong didn't understand why they were blushing, but he found out later.
But on this morning when the high fever had just subsided and he was weak, he couldn't think so far.
There was an idea in his mind.
It turns out that this is the big brother...
It turned out that the elder brother was born so handsome, and Xiaodong followed his uncle to the north and south, but he had never seen such an extraordinary handsome person.
The blue and white clothes worn by Huiliu Mountain disciples looked too plain and limp to others. But Eldest Brother is wearing such a suit of clothes, he looks like a jade tree facing the wind, tall and straight.
This dress really suits him.
No, or it should be said that with his character, no matter what clothes he wears, he is equally extraordinary. Even if he is dressed in beggar's clothes, he will never make people feel vulgar and ugly.
Jiang Fan came in and brought water for Xiaodong to wash and wipe his face. After staying up all night, he didn't have much energy. After a while, he yawned several times. While wiping his face, he said to Xiaodong, "Did you see? This is Our elder brother. Elder brother came back last night. Alas, elder brother was worried about the things on the mountain. He went up the mountain without spending the night at the foot of the mountain. Yungong has recuperated for you, and your illness has recovered so quickly."
Xiaodong turned to look at Mo Chen.
Huiliu Mountain is very steep, and there are several places on the way up the mountain that are very dangerous. Needless to say, the fishback slope, people have seen how fish swim in the water, it is upright in the water, with its back facing upwards, of course there is only a narrow one, the fishback slope is like that, with two sides facing each other. It is a deep valley, and there is only a narrow road in the middle where you can walk. If you accidentally step on it, you will die no matter which way you slip. You must be careful when walking during the day, let alone at night.
Jiang Fan said, it is only because of the daring of senior brothers and masters that they dare to go up the mountain at night, even if someone else is so daring, he would not have the ability.
Before meeting the real person, Xiaodong had already heard many stories about the elder brother. In his mind, he sketched out a small portrait for the elder brother without knowing it. Since he is a senior brother, he must be a very steady and serious person.
He may have a face with Chinese characters, thick eyebrows, a loud voice, and a broad body.
I also heard that the master has grown old in recent years, and the affairs on the mountain are all handled by the elder brother, so this person must be quite dignified, and he acts and speaks strictly.
But after seeing the real person, Xiaodong realized that most of what he had thought in advance was wrong. The big brother was completely different from what he thought.
Maybe it was because he had heard too much from others, so Xiaodong didn't think he was unfamiliar at all. On the contrary, when Xiaodong saw him for the first time, she felt a kind feeling from the bottom of her heart. As if... I have known this person for a long time. Today is not the first time we met, but a reunion after a farewell.
Big brother... he is as good as others say.
It's even better than they say.
He talked to Xiaodong so kindly, fed him the medicine, and kept his voice very gentle when talking to him, as if he was afraid that his tone would startle him.
Jiang Fan didn't bother to ask anything else last night, and seeing that Xiaodong woke up after his fever subsided, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered to ask about Mo Chen's affairs on the road.
"Eldest brother, why have you been away for so long? Didn't you say that you will be back in two months? We have been so late, we are all worried about what happened to you."
"I was delayed when I was in a hurry, and I was anxious to come back, but things didn't work out for a while, so I had to ask someone to send a letter back. After leaving Yizhou, I was transferred to Nanguang, where I stayed for half a month. , so I came back late."
Xiaodong had just subsided his fever and had no appetite to eat. Jiang Fan brought him a bowl of porridge and cut half a salted egg. The salted eggs are marinated just right, and all the eggs are buttery and yellow. Xiaodong picked up the half egg yolk and looked at it.
Mo Chen looked at his actions as if he wanted to eat: "What? Can't eat?"
Xiaodong said softly, "I like salted egg whites."
Especially when it is served with porridge, mix the salted egg white with the porridge and eat it.
Jiang Fan smiled from the side: "You have a very special taste. Others like to eat egg yolks, and the pickled egg yolks are so fragrant. You are the other way around, and you actually like to eat egg whites. It just so happens that you are with the elder brother Eating is just in time, senior brother likes to eat egg yolks."
Xiaodong was a little surprised.
Eldest brother can actually be picky
It's really hard to see.
The main reason is that the eldest brother is so generous and gentle no matter how he looks at it, so... anyway, he doesn't seem to have anything to do with the word picky.
Being exposed by Jiang Fan, Mo Chen didn't feel uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "You are not picky, but if you continue to eat like this, how can you practice your body skills later? In two years, my junior brother will catch up with you. "
Speaking of this, Jiang Fan was also very distressed: "I don't eat too much, and Senior Sister Linglong doesn't eat less than me."
Yun Xiaodong can attest to this, the senior sister really eats a lot. Let’s take yesterday as an example. They had lunch at noon, but after going down the mountain, the senior sister ate a lot of snacks, such as big bowls of pancakes soaked in meatball soup, braised pork, stinky tofu, and fried melon seeds. Yes, Yun Xiaodong was speechless when he came back in the evening, but the senior sister didn't miss dinner.
With this way of eating, she looks very thin. Standing with Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Jiang could split her into two and she would be more than enough.
This usually empty and quiet room looked extraordinarily warm and lively in the morning light of this day. Yun Xiaodong hugged the quilt and leaned against the head of the bed, looked at the senior brother, then at the third senior brother, his pale face A faint smile appeared.
Eldest brother was also holding a bowl of porridge, sitting by the bed and smiling at him. The sunlight shone into the room through the cracks in the window, and his eyeballs were reflected by the sunlight, like a clear amber, with a round luster and so clear. (to be continued)
