for evil

When the little scholar came back sweating profusely, the table was already full of large and small plates and baskets, eggs, buns, pancakes, pickles... everything...

Tan Yuan walked up to the little scholar and said to him, "Your friend is really warm."

The little scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead, showed his white teeth, squinted his eyes and smirked: "That's right."

Xu Ming arranged the meals one by one, pulled out the chair, asked Tan Yuan to sit down, and poured out two bowls of rice wine, one by one: "Brother Lu's rice wine is the best, try it."

Tan Yuan looked at him resting his chin and watching him busy, and asked leisurely: "They usually... are they like this?"

Xu Ming put down the wine jar, sat down too, and said: "Yes, I grew up eating a variety of meals, and basically everyone here is like that." He looked at Tan Yuan, smiled and said: "Although there is no need You hermits in the mountains are very particular about food and clothing, but it is also lively. I just don’t know..." Xu Ming said cautiously, "Will you not like it?"

Tan Yuan lowered his eyes and took a sip of the rice wine. Naturally, it was incomparable with the wine made by Luohan, but he felt warm after drinking it.After a while, Tan Yuan said in a low voice: "No, they... are very special."

Xu Ming smiled into his eyes: "Yeah, sometimes their expressions may be too direct, but they are all warm-hearted." Xu Ming paused and said: "My parents left early, and I am the only one left. People, they say, are all neighbors, everyone saves a mouthful of food, and I can't starve to death... Then, that's it... I'm really grateful to them..."

Tan Yuan said: "So, do you think that if you die, you will go to the fairy mountain to ask for medicine to help that child named Xiaoxi?"

Tan Yuan smiled shyly: "I can't help much either. Those who have always been mediocre and who can do their best to help a group will naturally go to help a group."

Tan Yuan wanted to say: Is his so-called meager strength his own life?Seeing the table full of food, and seeing Xu Ming's clear appearance, he still didn't say anything in the end.

After dinner, three batches of visitors were welcomed, men, women, young and old, everything that one expects to find.Tan Yuan sat on the side very unnaturally, with downcast eyes, not participating, and listening to each other.

It's a pity that the people here didn't seem to wink, they didn't take Tan Yuan's uneasiness and coldness into their eyes, and kept asking Tan Yuan various questions: "Young man, how old are you?" "Young man, where do you live?"" Young man, are you married yet?" There was another one who was very enthusiastic, and talked about Tan Yuan's matchmaking: "My aunt asked you, what kind of match do you like? You just tell the aunt, and the aunt will introduce you, don't act like a little girl. Like Xu, he doesn’t get married when he’s too old, and he doesn’t have anyone to take care of him. He only knows how to read and study, or he just wants to run outside. Don’t be like him.” Tan Yuan turned his head and saw Xu Ming showed a mouthful of white teeth and smirked, his expression softened a little, and he nodded slightly.

In the evening, the little scholar gave up the inner room to Tan Yuan, and was about to sleep in the outer room with a thin quilt in his arms.Tan Yuan glanced at the clean and tidy thick quilt he was sitting on, and said to the figure of Sother in the distance: "Come in, I don't care too much, your bed is big enough to sleep two people."

The little scholar stammered and said, "I'm a guest from afar, I don't sleep honestly, for fear of disturbing my master's clear dream."

The little scholar is not very big, but his personality is very stubborn, and he won't go in even if he says anything.Tan Yuan didn't persuade anymore, turned over and lay down.

In the middle of the night, Tan Yuan was awakened by a crisp "Ah Qiu", followed by continuous sneezing.

Tan Yuan sighed, "Come in."

The little scholar said awkwardly: "Did I wake up Mr.? I'm fine, but my nose is itchy..."

Tan Yuan said: "If you don't come in, you will be frozen. If you catch a cold tomorrow, at most I will be tired for two more days, and I will take care of you like I was on the mountain."

The little scholar thought for a while, and finally compromised. He hugged the quilt and went into the room dejectedly, rubbed himself on the bed, said "excuse me" in a low voice, only occupied a small side of the bed, rolled over and fell asleep.

The little scholar was polite and peaceful when he slept, but when he fell asleep, he changed into another posture, rolling from side to side, which was extremely dishonest.At the beginning, Tan Yuan focused on avoiding him, not letting him get close to him, but in the second half of the night, he could only compromise, letting the little scholar hug him like a koala, with his furry head resting on his shoulder and neck, it was actually quite warm...

It's a pity that the little scholar still caught a cold the next day, lying on the bed, sniffing his nose, and apologetic.

Tan Yuan took the medicine according to the advice of his neighbors, and he had to prepare it himself and send it to bed, not knowing who was the guest.

After Xiaoshu fell ill, there were more and more people coming and going. The family stocked up a pile of green vegetables, radish and dough, and he was always at leisure. It was the first time Tan Yuan had to deal with this kind of situation, and he was extremely fulfilled.

The kid named Xiao Xi who the little scholar helped also came over. He was not big, but he looked quite clever. He was carrying a basket of bright red apples, sitting on a chair, and looked at the little scholar with embarrassment: "It's all little boys." Hope it’s not good, it made Mr. like this.”

The little scholar wanted to explain, but he sneezed one after another.

Tan Yuan brought a bowl of hot water to the young scholar, and then gave the child another bowl to warm up.

Seeing the little scholar's embarrassment and wanting to explain, he opened the mouth for him: "I can't blame you this time, he asked for trouble and refused to listen to persuasion."

The little scholar nodded foolishly at the side: "Yes, yes, Xiaoxi, I don't blame you, you should go back quickly. Your mother's body is not fully recovered yet, and I can't do without you."

Xiao Xi put down the basket: "This basket of apples was brought by my mother, who said that my husband saved my life, and I will definitely serve my husband like my parents in the future."

The little scholar almost spit out a sip of water, choked his throat, coughed and waved his hands: "No need, I haven't reached that point yet, I accept your and your mother's wishes. You should concentrate on taking care of your mother."

The little scholar couldn't give birth, so Tan Yuan sent Xiao Xi out, and Xiao Xi said to Tan Yuan seriously: "Mr. It was the elixir brought by Mr. who saved Xiaoxi's mother, and Xiaoxi will always remember this kindness."

Tan Yuan nodded silently, watching Xiaoxi leave.

Back in the house, the little scholar had already fallen asleep, and kicked off the quilt dishonestly.

Tan Yuan sighed, went up to cover him up, unexpectedly, he grabbed his right hand, put it firmly on his heart, and fell asleep peacefully again.

Tan Yuan didn't pull away to wake him up, and stood silently beside the bed.

Tan Yuan once saw a word called "human touch" in a book, he didn't understand it before, but now, he seems to understand it...

The author has something to say:

Sorry for being late again~ Dear friends, I am sorry for you @[email protected]~

These two days are really too busy, the project is rushing to go online, and the working hours are adjusted to 996 (start at 9 o'clock, leave work at 9 o'clock, work for six days), so busy that I doubt my life~

Then Dad’s illness is still not fully recovered, so he will rush home to accompany Dad on weekends~

So I put down the novel for another two weeks... I will try my best to write it later, and there are still 20-30 chapters of the plot, I want to finish it before December as much as possible (try my best~)

I still want to say sorry to the friends who have been chasing updates, always update slowly~ I will work hard in the future, try my best not to delay (try my best...)~
