Mulin County is the most remote area of Yu State, and it is close to the border between Yu State and other countries. If there is a war in each country, Mulin County will be the first to be affected. Fortunately, Yu State has a high status among other countries. Coupled with the intimidating reputation of King Cheng, the god of war, no other country dared to take their ideas to Yu country.
Even though Mulin County is remote, there are many residents, and there are many things that should be available in the town. In addition, the area is near the sea, and overseas businessmen often come to the shore to do business.
Therefore, you can often see some strange things for sale on many stalls, and the white jade porcelain vase that Lin Mo had taken a fancy to before is one of them.
And it just so happened that today was the day when the Merchant ships docked. Lin Xing looked around curiously, and there seemed to be more and more novel things today than he had seen before.
"Fourth brother, come quickly! Is this what you're looking for?" Lin Xing sharply saw a few transparent porcelain vases in the corner of a small stall, and squatted in front of the stall, looking at Lin Mo who was walking over. .
Lin Mo, who was walking slowly and looking at the things on the side stall, heard that, turned his head to look over, followed the direction of Lin Xing's finger, and saw the bottles.
Um? Clear crystal bottle
Lin Mo walked over, and Cheng Yan followed without saying anything. The distance between the two was not too far or too close, just enough to prevent Lin Mo from being bumped into by others without making people feel too close.
In the end, Lin Mo bought those bottles. Judging from what the stall owner meant, the bottles must have been on display for a long time and no one wanted them, so the price was very low.
Lin Mo looked at the things in Cheng Yan's hands, and felt a little dazed. The quasi-modern handicrafts mixed with ancient times seemed a bit inconsistent no matter how they looked at them.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Yan asked with his head tilted.
"It's okay." Lin Mo shook his head when he heard his voice.
The three of them walked around for an hour, Lin Mo's feet were sore from walking, and some fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Ah Xing, we'll go back after shopping, don't make parents wait too long." Lin Mo panted and shouted to Lin Xing who was walking in front.
Lin Xing's footsteps were still brisk after walking for an hour, and he was completely different from Lin Mo, whose lips were a little pale.
"Ah? Fourth brother, are you okay?" Lin Xing turned around and saw fourth brother who was sweating on his brow and panting behind him, and ran over quickly.
"It's okay, have you finished your shopping yet? We left after we finished our shopping. My parents are probably waiting for us." Lin Mo supported Cheng Yan's arm, and said with some loss of strength.
Lin Mo didn't expect that his body was still so weak, and he drank water from the spiritual spring every day. It seemed that there was a reason for the original body's illness and death. After drinking so much spiritual spring water and being so tired after only walking for an hour, Lin Mo seemed to understand the reason why Yuanshen stayed at home all year round.
Lin Mo reckoned that in a few years, he would not be able to walk as fast as Lin Xing, without panting.
Cheng Yan stood aside, holding a lot of things they just bought in one hand, while the other hand was stiff, serving as an armrest for Lin Mo.
"Uh... I'm done shopping." Lin Xing nodded. Anyway, he didn't have the money to buy any more shopping, and the fourth brother's body was more important.
"Do you want to rest for a while?" Cheng Yan asked, with some worry in his eyes.
"It's okay, just walk over slowly." Just treat it as exercise.
Lin Mo can't bear his current weak physique, which makes him always feel that there is danger around him at any time. This kind of thinking comes from the sequelae of various tortures in the last days. Lin Mo can't change it, even though he is now in ancient times.
Cheng Yan turned his head and glanced at Lin Mo beside him. He just felt the gloomy aura on Lin Mo again, although it was only fleeting.
The three left the bustling West Street and walked towards their Daling Village. Lin Xing was a few steps behind them. Looking at the two people in front of them, for a moment, he felt that their figures were very... How should I put it, Lin Xing couldn't express it. , anyway, it was like the feeling when his parents walked together.
Lin Xing shook his head, trying to drive the bold thoughts out of his mind, and hurriedly followed to support the fourth brother.
The donkey cart back to Daling Village was already waiting aside. When Lin Mo saw them from a distance, he let go of Cheng Yan's hand, glanced at him and thanked him in a low voice.
After Cheng Yan responded, he didn't speak any more, and moved part of his left hand to his right.
After Lin Mo and the three of them passed by, the donkey cart was just full of people. After other people in the village got up, Lin Mo followed and sat next to Lin Xing.
The road back to the village is full of potholes, and the car shakes from time to time, which is normal for other villagers who are used to sitting.
Lin Mo sat stiffly in his seat, hearing the sound of their conversation, but he couldn't hear a word, the donkey cart was shaking and shaking, his buttocks were numb, but at this moment his head was blunt and blunt It hurts.
The body is still too weak.
"Are...are you alright?" Cheng Yan just looked away from the distance when he noticed something was wrong with Lin Mo beside him.
"Huh?...it's okay..." Lin Mo regained consciousness when he heard Cheng Yan's voice in a daze.
Lin Mo lowered his head and didn't want other people to notice that the usual one-hour journey now took almost ten hours in Lin Mo's eyes, which was a bit difficult.
Knowing that Lin Mo is holding on, but Cheng Yan can't do anything now.
Just when Lin Mo let his head go to ignore his discomfort, the slow-moving donkey cart jolted again, as if the wheels had sunk into a pit, Lin Mo didn't notice it for a moment and jumped forward according to inertia.
Cheng Yan, who had been paying attention to him all the time, had his heart skip a beat, and subconsciously fished him back without much thought.
"Cough...cough cough..." Lin Mo covered his mouth with a white face, trying to suppress the nausea in his stomach.
The sudden movement of the two of them attracted the ideas of other villagers who were chatting and Lin's father and Lin's mother.
"Aunt Lin, there seems to be something wrong with your Brother Mo's face." Aunt Zhang who turned her head to look over was the first to see Lin Mo's overly pale face.
"Dacheng, what's wrong with Brother Mo?" Father Lin sat at the front and couldn't see his son.
"It seems that I can't bear the bumpy road. Your brother Mo has never been in a donkey cart, right? There is still half the distance, can you bear it?" Everyone looked over, and Cheng Yan, Lin Mo and the villagers who were closer to the two of them said.
"I sat on it a few days ago, but it was fine at that time... Dacheng, help Mo Ge'er and don't let him fall again."
Mother Lin and Lin Mo were still separated by two people, so there was no way to get there. Moreover, there were two donkey carts going back to the village behind the donkey cart, so the cart naturally couldn't stop on this road.
"Understood." Cheng Yan supported Lin Mo and let him lean on his shoulder.
"Fourth brother, are you okay?" Lin Xing moved towards Lin Mo, but he didn't know where to put his hand. He always felt that putting it anywhere would aggravate fourth brother's condition. Lin Xing was at a loss for a moment.
"It's okay..." Lin Mo opened his hand, barely opened his eyes and whispered.
"Aunt Lin, I think it's better to let Brother Mo go out less in the future. I can't bear walking or riding a car. Isn't it torturing myself to go back and forth?" The people on the side saw Lin Mo's pale face and persuaded .
"Yeah, don't get sick again then."
Mother Lin felt a little anxious, looked back from time to time, and nodded without listening to what other people said.
Of course she knew that Mo Ge'er was not in good health, and she never let him go to the town before, but in the past few days, Mo Ge'er has not been sick anymore, he can still cook, make wine, and walk to the fruit forest. My brother's body has started to improve slowly, so I was a little negligent for a while.
Lin Mo rested his head on Cheng Yan's shoulder, and the car swayed forward. In addition, Cheng Yan's shoulder bones were hard, which made Lin Mo's head hurt.
While Cheng Yan wanted to prevent the car from bouncing from time to time, he also wanted to relax his body and let Lin Mo lean on him. This stalemate made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Lin Mo held onto Cheng Yan's arm tightly with his right hand, his eyes were closed and his brows were frowning, but his consciousness gradually sank into the darkness, and finally he didn't know anything.
"Uncle Lin, Brother Mo seems to have passed out." Cheng Yan felt Lin Mo's grip on his arm loosen, and quickly raised his hand to support the head that had slipped off his shoulder.
…
When Lin Mo regained consciousness, he opened his eyes and saw the familiar roof. He tilted his head and looked outside through the window.
Lin Mo blinked his sore eyes, stood up and supported the bed.
"Cough...cough cough..." Lin Mo covered his mouth, the chest heaving caused by the cough made the soreness in his body more obvious, but the itching in his throat made him unable to stop.
"Cough cough... cough... vomit..."
Lin Mo half-knelt on the ground, supported the bed with one hand and covered his stomach with the other, coughing and retching, the tears in his eyes fell uncontrollably.
Lin Xiu had just returned home today when he heard the news that Brother Mo was in a coma. As soon as he approached the room, he heard a violent coughing sound from the room.
Lin Mo looked up reflexively when he heard the sound of the door being pushed, and seemed to see the person in his memory in his blurred vision, the second brother whose content in his mind was already blurred.
"Second brother... cough cough..." Lin Mo said in a daze.
"Why did you get out of bed?" Lin Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, frowning slightly.
"Second brother..." Lin Mo tightly grasped the clothes of the person beside him, and opened his eyes wide to try to see the person in front of him clearly.
However, when Lin Mo saw the attire of the person in front of him clearly, the hope in his heart was shattered again. This is not his second brother. His two brothers are already dead. This is the ancient times, not the end times.
Lin Mo kept telling himself, but the gap between hope and disappointment made his heart ache.
"Second brother is here, is it uncomfortable again?" Lin Xiu supported his younger brother with one hand, and patted his head with the other, a little worried.
"hungry… "
It was already evening, Lin Mo had only had breakfast that day, and now he was so hungry that his stomach ached.
"Wipe your tears first before going out. Dinner is ready." Lin Xiu raised his hand to wipe the tears off his face with the sleeves of his inner sleeves, his movements were gentle, and the worry in his eyes made Lin Mo's heart tremble.
Lin Mo's hand holding his clothes trembled slightly, the heat in his eyes grew stronger, and the feeling of suffocation in his heart became stronger.
So gentle... Just like his second brother.
