Mu Chen is in good health. After four days in the inn, most of his injuries have healed, and he is able to go to the ground and walk.

Cen Le's illness is almost recovered, except for the occasional cough, everything else is fine.

So the two discussed it and decided to return to Taohua Village today.

But although Mu Chen can walk, it is impossible to go back to Taohua Village for more than half an hour, so Cen Le specially hired a carriage, and worried that the carriage would be too hard, so he spent a tael of silver to please The waiter went to the cotton cloth shop and bought two ready-made cotton quilts to put under them.

Two thick quilts were placed under the head, soft and comfortable, otherwise Mu Chen would not have been able to make it home.

Seeing that the two were seated, the coachman asked, "Are you all seated firmly?"

Mu Chen responded, "Let's go."

"Okay." The coachman yelled, and then he raised his whip and hit the ground, and the carriage started to move slowly.

The carriage was not going fast, but after leaving the city, the road was not so smooth, so the carriage shook violently.

Not long after, Cen Le was shaken until his face turned blue, his lips turned white, and his stomach rolled.

Mu Chen found out, held Cen Le's hand, then pointed his head out to the coachman and said, "Please drive steadily."

"The road is uneven, and I can't help it." The coachman turned around and said, "Why don't you hug this young man, it will be better."

Mu Chen heard this and looked at Cen Le.

Cen Le looked back at Mu Chen, shook his head at him, and decided to hold on.

Mu Chen is still injured, if he leans forward, Mu Chen will also feel uncomfortable.

Mu Chen didn't force it, he rubbed the back of Cen Le's hand with his palm, and said softly: "If you can't hold on anymore, just lean over."

Cen Le nodded.

The road behind became more and more bumpy, and the carriage shook more and more violently. Cen Le was shaking so dizzily that his eyes were dizzy, and finally he couldn't hold on. He obediently leaned towards Mu Chen, and then smashed his head into Mu Chen's arms , grabbed Mu Chen's clothes, and leaned against him.

When leaning on Mu Chen's body, Cen Le was still surprised that he was so dizzy from the carriage.

In modern times, motor vehicles, automobiles, airplanes... all means of transportation, he has not fainted at all.

I can't take a carriage, and I don't know how to ride a horse. If I want to go to a farther place in the future, how should I go?

Cen Le was very depressed.

Mu Chen hugged Cen Le tightly in his arms, stabilized his body, then lowered his head and asked softly, "Will this be better?"

Cen Le nodded slightly, "What about you, will you feel uncomfortable, will it hurt?"

"I'm fine, the wound is fine." Mu Chen replied gently, and couldn't help but kiss Cen Le's plump earlobe lightly.

Startled, Cen Le raised his head abruptly, covered his ears with one hand, and opened his eyes wide.

When he was about to speak, the carriage suddenly shook, and then he crashed into Mu Chen's arms, and his forehead was still actively pressed against Mu Chen's lips.

Cen Le: "..."

Mu Chen couldn't help laughing, he hugged Cen Le even tighter, and kissed him on the forehead a few more times.

Cen Le's ears were red, he was a little annoyed at first, and wanted to push Mu Chen away, but because the carriage was too bumpy, he was dizzy, and leaning against Mu Chen's arms, it was not so bumpy, so it would be much more comfortable.

After weighing the pros and cons, he still gave up pushing Mu Chen away, but stretched out his hand and hugged Mu Chen back.



It was nearly noon when they returned to the village.

Since the road in the village is quite spacious, the coachman drove the carriage directly to the door of Mu Chen's house before stopping.

As soon as the carriage heard, Cen Le quickly got out of the carriage, covered his mouth with one hand, and supported the big tree next to him with the other. He closed his eyes and waited for a long time.

Mu Chen paid the coachman's money, took off the two quilts, then walked slowly to Cen Le's side, and asked concerned: "Is it better?"

Cen Le opened his eyes and nodded lightly.

He reached out to take the quilt from Mu Chen's arms, but before he could touch it, Mu Chen refused, "You don't feel well, just let me come."

"You're still injured." Cen Le glanced at him, and grabbed him over.

Mu Chen stood behind and looked at him, couldn't help but curled up his lips and laughed.

The two entered the house one after the other.

After drying the two quilts in the yard, Cen Le helped Mu Chen back to the room, asked him to lie down on the bed again, and changed a patch of medicine for him.

After changing the medicine, Cen Le washed his hands and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

There was no one at home for four or five days, and almost all the vegetables were spoiled, but now there are only some seasonal vegetables grown in the vegetable field, Cen Le thought about it, then went to pick some, chopped them and put them in the porridge , and then add oil, salt, shredded ginger, etc., and it becomes a pot of vegetable porridge.

While cooking porridge, Cen Le was also cooking medicine.

Mu Chen still has the last two stickers of medicine left, after taking it today, there is no need to take any more.

After the vegetable porridge was cooked, it didn't take long for Mu Chen's medicine to heal. Cen Le took the cooked porridge and medicine and went to Mu Chen's room.

Mu Chen's injury is no longer serious, so he will not lie on the bed waiting for Cen Le to feed him anymore. When he saw Cen Le coming in with porridge and medicine, he sat up slowly, got out of bed and walked slowly to the table.

Seeing that Mu Chen was about to sit down, Cen Le quickly put down the tray and stopped him: "Wait."

After finishing speaking, he trotted to get the quilt, carried it back and put it on the chair, sat down and tried it himself, and let Mu Chen sit on it when it was soft enough.

Mu Chen's eyes followed Cen Le all the time, watching him busy for himself, his eyes were full of satisfied smiles.

Cen Le's ears turned red, he sat down on another stool, and handed the chopsticks to Mu Chen, "Don't look at me, let's eat."

"it is good."

Even though he said that, Mu Chen stared at Cen Le for a while, then looked away, and started to eat with his head down.

While eating, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a woman's voice.

Cen Le put down the bowl and chopsticks, glanced at Mu Chen, and gestured, "I'll open the door."

Mu Chen stood up, grabbed Cen Le's hand, and said, "I'll go with you."

Cen Le thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

Walking to the door, Cen Le stretched out his hand and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a tall and thin woman. She was dressed in common clothes, her hair was simply pulled up, and a wooden hairpin was inserted. Although she was not very old, her face was very haggard, and there were still some fine lines around her eyes.

She is Mu Jiangyuan's daughter-in-law, Miao Cui.

Seeing the door open, Miao Cui withdrew her hand and took a few steps back.

"Sister-in-law." Mu Chen called her.

Miao Cui responded, smiled at Mu Chen again, and said hesitantly, "Jiang Yuan wants to see you, and he wants to invite you to his house."

Mu Chen was surprised: "Cousin is willing to see me?"

Since Mu Jiangyuan found out that he has become a useless person, he has never seen Mu Chen again. Mu Chen came to the door one after another, but he refused to see him.

With lowered eyes, Miao Cui said in a low voice: "Jiang Yuan said that there are some things I want to hand over to you. If you are free, come here in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll go." Mu Chen pondered for a moment, then agreed.

Hearing this, Miao Cui breathed a sigh of relief, and she handed the basket she had been carrying to Mu Chen, and said, "I heard that you were boarded in the yamen, and there is nothing good at home, and the eggs were picked up this morning." , you accept it, at least it can make up for your body."

Mu Chen did not refuse, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Miao Cui waved her hand, "Then I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Cen Le who was standing beside her, and smiled slightly at Cen Le.

After sending Miao Cui away, the two returned to the house.

After sitting down, Cen Le tilted his head to look at Mu Chen, and asked worriedly: "Are you really going?"

Mu Chen nodded, and said: "I'm going to go there anyway, I have something to say to my cousin."

Cen Le asked: "Do you want me to accompany you?"

He was worried, after all, Chen Guihong and Mu Lei would be put in prison because of Mu Chen's choice to help him, in case they took revenge on Mu Chen.

"No, don't go, just wait for me at home." Mu Chen grabbed Cen Le's hand and kissed it, and said slowly: "Cousin is more reasonable, maybe he won't pass all the responsibility on you, but My uncle will definitely blame you, and may even hurt you, I am not willing."

Cen Le pursed her lips, "Then at least let me accompany you to the door."

After a pause, he added, "If you refuse, I will follow by myself, you can't stop me."

Seeing Cen Le's serious appearance, Mu Chen smiled, "Okay, let's go to the door."

Couldn't help leaning over to hold Cen Le into his arms again, Mu Chen whispered in Cen Le's ear, with a very gentle tone, "Don't worry, even if Uncle and the others blame me and want to teach me a lesson or do something to me, Can't do anything to me."



After eating lunch and taking the medicine, the two set off at about three quarters.

Mu Chen was injured, so he walked slowly, and it took a stick of incense to reach Mu Jiangyuan's home.

After knocking on the door, after a while, Miao Cui came to open the door.

Standing outside the door, Cen Le didn't follow in. He looked at Mu Chen and gestured word by word: "I'll wait for you to go home together."

"Okay, I'll be out soon." Looking at Cen Le, Mu Chen had a slight smile on his face, and his eyes were also full of tenderness.

Miao Cui didn't invite Cen Le much, she just nodded to Cen Le and closed the door.

Entering the courtyard, Mu Chen asked, "Where's Uncle?"

"Father was drunk last night, and now he is still resting in the room, without getting up." Miao Cui told Mu Chen in a low voice.

Since Chen Guihong and Mu Lei were sentenced to prison, Mu Chunsheng has been hit hard, one is because of Chen Guihong's character, and the other is because of what they did.

He racked his brains to understand why his daughter-in-law and youngest son were like this. He never recovered, and when he returned to the village, he was always pointed at by the villagers. Living with a daughter-in-law made him feel extremely ashamed, so he began to deceive himself, drinking continuously day and night, falling asleep when drunk, and living regardless of time, as if this incident never happened.

After Mu Chen found out, he didn't continue to ask other questions.

Neither of them spoke any more.

Mu Jiangyuan's room was near the north, Miao Cui led Mu Chen to the door, pushed the door open again, and didn't go in again.

"You go in." Miao Cui thought for a while, then said, "Do you want a drink of water? I'll get you a glass of water."

"Please trouble sister-in-law."

"It's nothing." Miao Cui smiled, and then signaled Mu Chen to go in by himself.

The room was very dark, the windows were closed, and a curtain was drawn to block the light. The air was filled with a strong smell of medicine, which was choking.

After Mu Chen walked in, he stood by the round table and called out to the person lying on the bed: "Cousin."

After a while, Mu Jiangyuan opened his mouth, "Come on, sit down by yourself, I can't move, I can't entertain you." His voice was very hoarse and gloomy, which sounded inexplicably uncomfortable. Comfortable.

Mu Chen sat down as promised, he turned his head and looked around the room, smelling the smell of medicine again, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Mu Chen sitting down, Mu Jiangyuan said, "We brothers, haven't we seen each other for ten years?"

Mu Chen replied: "Yes."

Mujiang Yuan said with infinite emotion: "It's been ten years, how time flies, now you are stronger than me, and you are also taller than me."

After a while, he went on to say: "Mu Chen, in the past ten years, I have actually hated you."

Mu Chen didn't respond, he just sat and listened carefully to what Mu Jiangyuan said.

Mu Jiangyuan seemed to be lost in memories, he said in a slow tone, "When I was young, my uncles and aunts treated me very well, they almost treated me as their own son. Bring me a copy. When I was eight years old, if my uncle hadn't saved me, I would have died a long time ago, and I wouldn't be alive today.

So I thought, I also want to treat you well and repay the kindness of my uncle and aunt, so I love you, take you to play, take care of you, including the reason why I desperately saved you on the mountain later.

When I saved you back then, I was almost instinctive. I was happy to see that you were fine before I fell into a coma, but when I woke up, I found that I had broken both feet and became a cripple, unable to move, and even unable to take care of myself , Day after day, I gradually developed resentment.

I blocked the light, lived in a dark room, and kept thinking, why am I the one who got hurt, but you are fine?Why didn't you become like me?I started to feel resentful, I felt unfair, I felt that everything was your fault... so I lost sight of you. "

Mu Chen pondered: "You can hate me."

Mu Jiangyuan's words continued: "In the past ten years, I actually know what you have done for our family in order to repay your kindness. I also know that my mother is greedy and selfish. She always tries her best to ask you for money and make you bear the burden." All the expenses of our family...

Our family can be like this now, Lei'er can study without worry, it is because of you, but I resent you, so I also think that all this is taken for granted, you should give it to me and our family, so I am very happy Over the years, I haven't stopped my mother once.

Recently, my health has become worse and worse. When I sleep at night, I always dream about my uncle and aunt. I dream about how they treated me when I was young, and how I treated you later. , I suddenly remembered the mood when I rescued you on the mountain, and finally understood what kind of psychology I have fallen into in the past ten years...

Mu Chen, I have been ignoring you for ten years, and I have not stopped my mother from asking you for money. I was wrong, but our relationship cannot be restored to the way it was before. You and I both understand the reason. Although my mother and Lei'er went to jail this time, although it has nothing to do with you, they did something wrong and suffered on their own, but in the end, it has something to do with you..."

Mu Chen remained silent, without saying a word.

Mu Chen coughed violently, and when he stopped, he let out a long sigh, "I came to you today to give you something back."

Picking up a cloth bag from the bed, he said, "Come and get it yourself."

Mu Chen walked over, and after taking the cloth bag, he looked down and found that it was full of bits and pieces of silver, he couldn't help being stunned.

Mu Jiangyuan said: "This is all I have saved. Although it is incomparable with the money you gave our family, I can't get it out no matter how much."

"Why do you have to give it to me?" Mu Chen looked up at him.

"It's not for you, it's for you. You don't have to use up your family's wealth to repay the favor you owe me. My mother is greedy. Besides, if it comes down to it, I owe my uncle and aunt first. "Mu Jiangyuan paused for a while, and said, "Take it away. From now on, our two families will have nothing to do with you. You have already repaid the kindness I saved you back then, and you don't have to remember it anymore."
