Qingfeng Xu Xu

Xu Mulin opened his eyes and felt that his vision was as blurry as in his dream. His back was soaked, but his body felt very hot.

"Senior brother, senior brother..."

Hearing Xu Qingjiu's voice, Xu Mulin turned his head and refocused his eyes. Xu Mulin saw Xu Qingjiu looking at him anxiously. Xu Mulin wanted to say yes to Xu Qingjiu, but found that his throat was too hoarse to make a sound. He cleared his throat and said lightly"Yeah"

"Senior brother, you are sick. I asked my assistant to call a doctor for help. Please be patient for a while. Senior brother, let me help you up first and drink some water, okay? Your lips are dry."

Xu Mulin nodded feebly. Xu Qingjiu gently lifted Xu Mulin's shoulders, feeling Xu Mulin's body temperature that was scalding through his clothes. He fed Xu Mulin a few sips of water, and covered Xu Mulin with a quilt. Xu Qingjiu ran downstairs anxiously to see if the doctor had come. Finally, he saw the waiter bringing someone with him on the street. Xu Qingjiu ran over impatiently, pulling the doctor back three steps at a time, holding his hair. The gray old doctor is in the backShouting to slow down, Xu Qingjiu was so anxious that he could not care about this. After entering the room, Xu Qingjiu started urging the doctor to quickly check Xu Mulin's condition before the doctor could hold up his knees and stop breathing.

After a while of panic, the doctor sighed, shook his head and wrote down the prescription helplessly, muttering to himself: It's just a bit of cold. I thought it was such a serious illness. However, due to his qualities as a doctor, the doctor who was tinkering with herbal medicine until midnight yesterday and who was about to fall asleep was having a good dream when he was pulled up by the innkeeper did not say these words. The young man with an anxious look on his face said:"Your brother just caught a cold and contracted the wind chill. Just follow my recipe and take the medicine. It will cool down his fever and he will be fine. Just eat a lighter diet these days and he will be completely recovered in two days." I've regained my energy." Seeing that the young man beside him ignored him at all, the doctor could only call out:"Master, Master..."

Xu Qingjiu finally calmed down after hearing the doctor's voice and asked:"Doctor, how is my senior brother?"...

The doctor had no choice but to repeat what he just said word for word, and then added:"Also, please remember to take off his clothes later. Sleeping in such wet clothes will only make the cold cold worse."

Xu Qingjiu took the prescription, went to find the money bag in the clothes Xu Mulin changed, and gave the doctor a silver coin.

"Thank you, doctor. I'm really sorry, I was so rude just now."

The doctor looked at Xu Qingjiu's humble look. He thought that he was finally sure that his brother was fine. Now he has calmed down. He must have been anxious because of the serious symptoms. Now, he is very polite.

"Concern leads to chaos, it is human nature, the young master is serious. You go and grab the medicine according to the prescription. Boil two bowls of water into one bowl and take it. The fever will be reduced in half an hour. After taking the medicine, you can eat some clear porridge. Later, you can follow the same method and take it again. The last dose of medicine will be enough. Your brother's symptoms only seem a little serious, but if he can sweat by himself and dissipate all the internal heat, it's fine. Don't worry too much, sir."

"Okay, thank you very much, doctor."

"It's your duty as a doctor. You don't have to be polite, sir. I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, doctor, go slowly."

Xu Qingjiu wiped his sweat, and his hanging heart finally felt a little lighter. Thinking about what the doctor just said, he quickly went to help Xu Mulin change all the wet clothes on his body, and felt the clothes on the bed. They were all soaked, so they had to carry Xu Mulin to his room, and asked the waiter for some hot water. He wanted to ask the waiter to help him get the medicine, but he still felt uneasy. Xu Qingjiu first rubbed Xu Mulin's body carefully. After wiping it once and touching Xu Mulin's forehead, he felt better than before. He tucked Xu Mulin's quilt before going out to grab medicine.

While walking on the street, Xu Qingjiu suddenly remembered what he had just done. , very familiar, but at that time, it was him who was lying on the bed, and Xu Qingjiu had an indescribable feeling.

After buying the medicine, Xu Qingjiu borrowed the store's kitchen to cook the medicine and porridge. He usually saw Xu Mulin Xu Qingjiu felt that it was very simple to do all of this. Now that he was doing it by himself, he couldn't figure out the trick. After many failures, he had to ask the waiter for advice and finally made something that was not very sticky.

Xu Mulin lay down On the bed, I felt much better after sweating, but I still felt that my eyelids were heavy and I couldn't open my eyes no matter how hard I tried. After struggling a few times, I had no choice but to give up. During this period, I only heard the sound of a person coming in and out. From time to time, there will be a pair of hands covering my forehead, which is very cold.

"Senior brother, let me help you get up and drink the medicine first, okay?"

Xu Mulin listened to Xu Qingjiu's voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt himself being gently lifted up and leaned into a hug. Xu Mulin struggled again and finally opened his eyes.

"Qingjiu~" Xu Mulin shouted, his voice a little hoarse.

"Senior brother, are you awake? The doctor said you are fine, just take the medicine and rest for a while. Come, I have cooled this medicine. It is not hot, but it is a little bitter. After you drink it, I will feed you some porridge, and the bitterness will be lighter."

Xu Mulin sat up with his hands on his hands and saw Xu Qingjiu beside him. There were a few broken hairs falling on his forehead, some black charcoal on his chin, and sweat on his temples. Xu Mulin raised his hand and gently kissed Xu Qingjiu. Nine wipes and finishing

"Thank you so much for your hard work."As he said, he took the medicine and said,"I can do it by myself. If you feed it by the spoonful, it will be even more painful.""

"No hard work, senior brother must have gotten sick because of the wind blowing by the river yesterday. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"No, it was because I caught a cold after taking a shower last night and standing by the window for a while. I don’t blame you."

"Didn't senior brother feel cold when we were eating noodles last night? Why was the wind blowing by the window?"

"Ahem~ After taking a shower, I felt a little stuffy, so I went to the window to get some fresh air."

Xu Mulin drank the medicine. Xu Qingjiu hurriedly handed the water in his hand to Xu Mulin. Xu Mulin took the water and saw a few scratches on Xu Qingjiu's hand. He hurriedly pulled it over for a closer inspection.

"What's wrong with your hand?"

"Speaking of this, I remembered that senior brother said not to lock the door last night. I woke up this morning and saw that there was no movement in senior brother's room. I thought you were too tired yesterday and needed to rest more, so I went out to eat something by myself. I also brought some back to my senior brother, but when I came back, he hadn't gotten up yet. You used to be in Tianzong. No matter how tired you were, you couldn't sleep until the next day and couldn't afford it. Then I wanted to come in and take a look, but the result The door was locked. I knocked outside for a long time, but you didn't respond. I remembered that you were used to leaving a crack in the window for ventilation, so I climbed in through the window from the outside. If I were in Tianzong, I would just kick the door in. My hand is fine. The doctor just treated it for me."

"It's okay. I didn't pay attention yesterday. Maybe the door bolt slipped down."

"Um. Eh? You just said that taking medicine one bite at a time makes it more bitter, but I remember that this is how my senior brother fed me when I was a kid."

Xu Mulin didn't expect that he would talk about this, and asked with a smile:"Do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember. My senior brother has been taking care of me since I was brought back by my master when I was a child."

"Then do you remember that every time I feed you a spoonful of medicine, I have to quickly feed you another piece of candy before I can continue to coax you to take another sip?"

"Is that so? Did I love eating sweets when I was a kid? So why don't you like it at all now?"

"Thinking about it, it must be that you drank a lot of medicine and ate a lot of sugar when you were a child, but now you don't like it anymore. Xu

Qingjiu thought,"Yes, you have to take medicine to eat sweets. I definitely don't like sweets anymore.""

"I didn’t like sweets when I was a kid, so Master wouldn’t buy these. At that time, you were afraid of suffering, so you bought some sweets. Later, when you got better and didn’t need to take medicine, you didn’t buy any more sweets. No. know you like"

"I'm just talking nonsense. I'm just afraid of hardship. Is senior brother afraid of hardship? Do you want me to buy you some candy?"

"Have you learned to make fun of your senior brother?"

"How dare Qingjiu. Xu Qingjiu smiled stupidly, and after finishing speaking, he bowed his hands in a very serious manner,"Okay, the porridge is almost cold. Senior brother, please drink some." After saying that, Xu Qingjiu picked up the porridge and tried it,"Brother, try it.""

"You did it?"

"Yes, isn’t it awesome?"

"Well, Qingjiu has always been great"

"Um? Senior brother drank such bitter medicine, why is he still so good at praising others? Could it be that I bought the wrong medicine?"

"Didn’t I praise you like this before? Besides, it’s all from the bottom of my heart and has nothing to do with that."

"Then why can’t I say these words when I praise my senior brother?"

"...Maybe, senior brother is not good enough, okay?"

"how come? Senior brother is not good enough? Senior brother has taken care of Master and me over the years and has done such a good job. I cooked several pots of porridge today and asked the waiter to make it. I just discovered that it is not really easy to do such simple things. Therefore, my senior brother is really very good, much better than me. Sometimes I feel like, how can I...How could I be so lucky to be so loved and cared for by my senior brother and master? Today, my senior brother suddenly fell ill. I was very worried about taking care of my senior brother, but I also felt that I was finally able to take care of my senior brother. Although I wasn’t doing that well, I learned how to do it better. I praise you too, I'll study again."

Xu Mulin lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and said,"That's all I can do."As he said that, he lowered his head and drank the porridge,"It tastes good. It's done well."..."Soon, you won't need me to do any of these things for you. Xu Mulin didn't say these words, but swallowed them together with a mouthful of porridge.

"That's good."Xu Qingjiu said happily, and thought unconsciously: From now on, I can take good care of my senior brother, and he won't have to work hard alone. I used to think that my senior brother is omnipotent and indestructible, but today I discovered that my senior brother can also get sick and feel uncomfortable..

Watching Xu Mulin finish a bowl of porridge, Xu Qingjiu asked again:"I've been through a lot, senior brother, do you want to eat something more? The doctor said you have to eat lighter these days. Apart from porridge, you Let’s see what else you want to eat. I’ll learn how to cook it for you."

Xu Mulin calmed down, looked up at Xu Qingjiu and said,"No need, I drank a big bowl of medicine and porridge, I can't be full anymore."

"Did you take too much medicine? The doctor said boil two bowls of water into one bowl, so that’s what I did."

"...What size bowl does Qingjiu use? Then he lifted the porridge bowl and said,"Is it so big?""

Xu Qingjiu scratched his forehead awkwardly and said with a smile:"No, compared to this...Much bigger.

Xu Mulin said amusedly:"Are you thinking that if you drink more medicine, your illness will heal faster?""

"......"

Seeing Xu Qingjiu smiling awkwardly and saying nothing, Xu Mulin continued to tease:"Did I feed you too much medicine when you were a child? Today I finally found a chance."..."

"How is that possible? I've never seen my senior brother sick before, and I thought he wouldn't get sick. Today, my senior brother suddenly became ill. He looked so scary. I've never taken care of anyone before....Naturally not good..."

Xu Mulin originally just wanted to tease Xu Qingjiu, but when the topic suddenly came back, he had to quickly explain:"What I just said was a joke, Qingjiu, don't take it to heart, okay? I fell asleep like this all the time. I feel better after sweating all over. I sweat a lot, so a bowl of medicine should be used to quench my thirst. Senior brother is not afraid of hardship. The porridge you cooked is also delicious, but I still have a bad appetite due to illness. Not very good, later, can you have a big bowl later?"

Xu Qingjiu knew that Xu Mulin was coaxing herself, but she was also very happy in her heart. She took Xu Mulin's bowl and stood up to give it to Xu Mulin. A piece of handkerchief was used to wipe the sweat on Xu Mulin's forehead.

"By the way, yesterday I said I would take a rest in Jiangning Mansion today. I see that Jiangning Mansion is very prosperous and lively." Yesterday, the two of them entered Jiangning Mansion at night. Now there are people coming and going outside, and there are constant sounds of sales. Squeezing into Xu Mulin's room,"Let's go shopping later and take you to eat delicious food. How about Qing Jiuyi?""

"...Senior brother, do you really think you are made of stone? You're already sick and you're still thinking about this"

"I'm really fine. It was my first time to go on a long trip. I had to do the things my master had told me to do, and I could still take a few glances at the lively scenery along the way. We are staying in Jiangning Mansion today, we can't stay in the inn forever. I can get up, freshen up, change clothes, and go out."

Xu Qingjiu looked at Xu Mulin and sighed helplessly.

Xu Mulin's character always puts others first in everything. When did Xu Mulin become a lively person? He just didn't want Xu Qingjiu to be bored, so he just kept busy. Take care of yourself.

Xu Qingjiu actually knows Xu Mulin. Previously, he lost his judgment because of the fear in his heart.

Xu Qingjiu pretended to be angry and said:"What clothes are you changing into? The clothes you wore last night were wet this morning." It was like pouring a basin of water on it, so I changed it for you. Furthermore, you are energetic now, but you are still a patient before you are completely healed. The patient should be more at ease. Could it be that senior brother wants me to worry more?"Xu Qingjiu directly pushed Xu Mulin down on the bed and neatly covered Xu Mulin with a quilt."Lie down and rest. I'll help you wash the clothes you changed. The weather is good today, so I'll be done in an hour or two.. You, close your eyes and sleep."

Xu Mulin listened blankly to Xu Qingjiu's sermon to him in a serious manner. After listening to it, he waited for a long time before covering his eyes and couldn't stop laughing. He laughed for a long time and looked at Xu Qingjiu who was very angry at the side, so he had to He quickly endured it and said,"Are you trying to imitate me? Are you saying that you are not looking for an opportunity to take revenge?"

"No, besides, what my senior brother usually teaches me is unreasonable? Aren’t they all based on facts? I'm the same today. Senior brother, please don't slander me. I'm just worried about you. Senior brother, you should rest quickly. I'm going to do the laundry."

"Okay, then it’s hard work and Qingjiu."

Xu Mulin was lying on the bed. Because of the discomfort of the illness, he fell asleep again after a while. During this period, he intermittently heard Xu Qingjiu coming in and wiping his sweat. This time, not long after leaving, he came up again, Qingjiu came up again. Gently, he threw a handkerchief beside him. Xu Mulin opened his eyes and sat up. Xu Qingjiu turned around and met Xu Mulin's gentle gaze, and asked hurriedly:"Senior brother, did I wake you up?"With that said, he put on the handkerchief and sat beside Xu Mulin's bed. He raised his hand to touch Xu Mulin's forehead and said,"Well, the fever is gone at last."

"I can't lie down anymore after sleeping for so long. Let's go for a walk. I'm fine."

"Are you really okay?"

"It's really okay. It's just the wind and cold. You won't even let me get out of bed."

"That’s okay. Jiangning Mansion is really lively. Let’s go for a walk. We’ll have some rest tonight. We’ll have a look tomorrow morning. If everything’s okay, we’ll set out after breakfast. If we’re still feeling unwell, we’ll rest for another day...."
