There was a dead silence in Tao's mansion.

At first, all the servants were trembling, especially those who were rewarded with gold ingots by Tao Cheng at the beginning. After thinking about it, their livers trembled violently. After Mu Sheng cleaned up the messy courtyard, they were all driven back. In the side courtyard, do your best to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Shuang Jiu also fell asleep from crying, Qiao Qing couldn't afford to bathe him, so she just wiped off the blood on his face with a hot towel, leaving only a faint scratch on the fair and delicate skin, which was scratched out by Tao Cheng of.

Master Tao was not with him, and after getting into a rage, he got into the carriage and disappeared.Qiao Qingluo was clean, lying on the bed with Shuangjiu in her arms, dazed, half of her face was flushed and swollen, it hurt even if she didn't touch it, but she didn't want to go to the doctor to have a look, she just wanted to close her eyes and sleep, praying When she woke up, she could see Tao Cheng understood her good intentions.

Tao Che was exhausted all over his body and mind. When he came back, he saw Qiao Qing sleeping soundly covered with tears, and his heart ached. He sat quietly on the footstool, his tall and straight figure lying on his stomach beside the bed. He looked helpless and turned into an aggrieved look.

After an unknown amount of time, he vaguely felt his ears being gently kneaded. He raised his head and met Qiao Qing's red eyes from crying. His eyes were also red for a while, "Mother, if you cry again, brother won't come back." of."

The tears burst even more, and Qiao Qing suppressed her sobs and smiled slightly through her tears, "Are you stupid? How can you comfort people like this?"

Tao Che lowered his head. When he was a child, his mother would lie by the bed like this and tell them stories and lull them to sleep. He was a bit more noisy than his elder brother, always begging for enough, and always had to listen to one more before he would fall asleep. , Tao Cheng took over the important task, and asked Qiao Qing to rest assured that the last story would be told by his elder brother.

Tao Che couldn't hold back the sadness, tears soaked the bed, he used a low voice to cover it up, "Mother, do you know what stories my brother told me after you closed the door and went out?"

Qiao Qing was stunned for a while before she realized, "What are you talking about?"

"When I was five years old, all he told me was how good Qingmo was. He was better than me, smarter than me, prettier and cuter than me. When I was six years old and we slept separately, all he told me was how I miss Qingmo. I will recite every letter, because my brother will repeat it every night before going to bed: I am also happy with you, I hope that I will miss each other and never forget each other, I hope that I can enjoy your voice and smile every day and night."

Qiao Qing trembled uncontrollably, and Tao Che grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

"Mother, my brother really likes Qingmo. Maybe we did something wrong and ruined half of their life with the excuse of a 'bad luck'. Are we going to find any more excuses to continue destroying them now?"

Qiao Qing couldn't believe it, "They are brothers, just like you!"

Tao Che stroked the back of her hand, and said after a while, "No one knows. And they don't care, they've already been bound to this point, so why should they care, blood relationship can only deepen their relationship."

"Are you crazy too?" Qiao Qing withdrew her hand, her face was flushed with excitement, and her chest heaved violently, "He was thrown into the military camp, and now he has been ruined into..."

"No!" Tao Che interrupted her, and finally raised his head and wiped his face, "No. He jumped into the cesspool and rolled in filth, and was thrown into the river to soak overnight. When we rushed there, he was caught After being dragged ashore, I didn’t have a piece of good skin on my whole body, and those hands were even more…”

The first time she was sold to a brothel and was rescued by Tao Cheng, but this time she failed again, Qiao Qing seemed to accept her fate, she suddenly sneered, thinking to Hua Ting, "Are you taking care of that child, I have done all the bad things, You want my child to take the blame.

The afterglow of the setting sun is scattered in the sky, and the breeze is gentle.

The military doctor lifted the curtain and came in, holding a bowl of fragrant glutinous rice porridge, "Wake him up, use some before resting, otherwise it's a flesh injury, and he will have another stomach problem."

Tao Cheng quickly responded, leaning his back on the bedpost, hugging Qingmo and leaning against his chest, he whispered softly, "Baby, wake up."

The military doctor was not at ease, he put the porridge aside and said, "The medicine is almost ready, you can come out and serve it later."

Qingmo saw Tao Cheng when he opened his eyes, he hesitated a few times in a daze, feeling tired, painful and heavy all over his body, and his mouth was not very comfortable, he snorted, "You... you last night, Did you stab me in the mouth while I was asleep?"

Unexpectedly, he would be questioned like this at all, Tao Cheng didn't know how to speak, so he just hugged Qingmo a little tighter.

It was really uncomfortable, Qingmo closed her eyes lazily, leaned her head on Tao Cheng's shoulder and said weakly and fiercely, "I can't do this in the future, is it because I'm not precious, or you don't love me anymore?"

Caught off guard, a series of drops of water suddenly fell on his face, Qing Mo was stunned, he didn't realize it until he heard a thin choking sound, he was thinking about it, and anxiously raised his hand to coax, But in the repeated soreness of the shoulders and back, he saw that his hands were covered with bandages, and when he looked down, he found that his legs were exactly the same.

The memory slowly came back together, the fear, struggle, and torture of last night seemed to be just a nightmare, now he woke up, nestled in Tao Cheng's arms, enjoying his warmth and heartbeat, only felt that there was no place where he could do this peace of mind.

Qing Mo lowered his hands to cover his heart, rubbed and arched his head towards Tao Cheng's shoulders very intimately, "I didn't feel pain in my heart, but when I told you to cry, I immediately twitched and killed me."

There was quite a lot of talking, and the twisted internal organs finally returned to their place a little bit. Tao Cheng gently held Qingmo's face with one hand, and wiped away the mixed tears of the two with his fingertips, "Stop crying." He murmured He hugged and kissed Qingmo, feeling extremely sorry and loving, "Stop crying."

I don’t feel comfortable drinking porridge, and I only take one bite if you have to eat it. The two of them slowly finished a bowl of porridge, but it wasn’t enough. Tao Cheng went out to serve another bowl. During this time, he ran into Lin Wei and asked, “ But okay?"

In the morning, he vented his anger, but now Tao Cheng is treating each other politely. After thanking him for his concern, he asked back, "How are your people?"

Lin Wei shrugged, "You are too ruthless, I will take it back for them."

Tao Cheng nodded indifferently, and when he returned to the tent, he saw Qing Mo groaning with his legs bent and his head buried, so he hurried over, "What's wrong!"

"Do I stink?" Qingmo sniffed again, "I rolled into the cesspool last night, do I still stink now?"

Not wanting to create another miserable atmosphere, Tao Cheng bent down and hugged his legs and pecked several kisses, "It doesn't stink, but it's smoked and made me stupid."

Qing Mo glared at him, "It's a fool's blessing, just like a man who loses his fortune but knows it's not a blessing, Mr. Guo once..." His eyes suddenly changed, "We missed an appointment with Mr. Guo again."

"No rush." ​​Tao Cheng embraced him again, put the porridge on his lips, "We'll visit him when you get back with your stupid three points."

Not long after he was full, he drank the decoction again, but he didn't want to feel hot again. Layers of cold sweat and hot sweat made Qingmo unconscious. Tao Cheng only hated himself for not being able to suffer for him, so he fell on the side of the bed for him. Twist the towel and moisten his lips, and the torment didn't subside until the middle of the night.

The bandages were all soaked and had to be replaced with new ones. Tao Cheng helped the military doctor, wiped his body and changed his dressings, Qingmo fell into a deep sleep, unconscious no matter how he fiddled with it, the shocking wounds on his body made Tao Cheng's heart ache, he whispered like a joke He said, "Doctor, please help me grab two medicines too. I have chest tightness and shortness of breath, and I always feel out of breath."

It wasn't until the military doctor bandaged him up and was about to go back to the camp to sleep that he pointed at Mo and said lightly, "You'll be fine when he's healed. Let's hold him for a while and sleep, and be careful not to press on the wound."

Tao Cheng smiled, and sent the general doctor to the tent, "The doctor's medical skills are excellent, and I'd like to listen to the doctor's orders."

The cold dew had passed, and early in the morning, the soldiers outside the camp were bathed in the heat wave like returning to the autumn tide, shouting slogans loudly, waking up Qingmo.

Tao Cheng was in a light sleep, and immediately woke up. He got up to get water, and Qingmo sipped it for a long time before finishing it. He said, "I feel much more relaxed. It seems that this fever has wiped out the cold in my bones. evaporated."

Tao Cheng said "Yes", and kissed endlessly like a baby, "Sleep a little longer, and drink porridge and medicine when you wake up."

Qingmo doesn't really want to sleep, his dream is full of torment, not as happy and content as when he is awake, so Tao Cheng leaned on him, wrapped him in two layers and hugged him horizontally, "Go to the hillside to watch the sunrise, so good what?"

When Tao Che arrived, the tent was empty, and he asked the military doctor to find out that the two of them had taken the medicine and then went for a walk. He was playing with the jade pendant around his waist, and he saw him by the side of a bush against the wind. elder brother.

Qing Mo seemed to be talking about something cheerful, nestling in Tao Cheng's arms, talking and laughing at Yan Yan, those dark eyes never looked at any other place, they could only look at the person in front of him, he raised his hands when he was happy, and was caught Tao Cheng hugged back to his chest, lowered his head and kissed the finger on the back of his hand, Qingmo was still smiling, and in a blink of an eye he was pecked on the forehead.

Tao Che stood in the distance, seeing that the two formed a world of their own, their lips and tongues intertwined for a long time before slowly separating.

He picked up a stone, bumped it up and threw it with all his strength, and it rolled to the side of the two of them.

Tao Cheng turned his head and saw Tao Che, Qingmo had only enjoyed being pampered, and he lay on his neck and became tired, and only mumbled "Second Young Master" when Tao Che approached.

The person who was called felt uncomfortable, Tao Che pretended not to hear, and sat aside with his legs bent, "The carriage was brought from the post station, shall we go back today?"

"Come back, I have to go to the Cheng Medical Center to have a look in the city, so I can rest assured." Tao Cheng said, "Will you go with us, or drive back by yourself?"

"I just wandered here in a carriage. I also...brought some snacks, maybe I can eat some."

Tao Cheng smiled lightly, making Tao Che even more uncomfortable as he laughed, he asked, "How are parents?"

"I went back yesterday and my father was not there. I didn't return all night, and I didn't see anyone when I left this morning. Mother was still crying. I talked and persuaded me for a long time, and I don't know how much I can listen to."

"What about Double Nine?"

"What about Double Nine? Eating, drinking, and sleeping, he is the only one who is comfortable."

Tao Cheng smiled lowly, and asked again, "Tell me about your long speech?"

Tao Che naturally wouldn't open his mouth, and prevaricated, "My mother always told us stories when we were young. Yesterday, I told you a story about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl getting married. Let's force it."

Hearing that Qingmo was shaken, Tao Cheng looked down at him, "He complained at the age of 16, can you forgive him for this matter?"

Tao Che looked like a bad guy being judged, Qingmo looked at him with eyes that didn't know his emotions, "You bullied me a lot."

Tao Che's waist was tense, he was a little helpless and wanted to ask his brother for help, he sipped his lips and said, "Yes..."

Qingmo interrupted his apology, "When I was thrown into the river, I felt resentful, and for a moment I wanted to kill everyone who bullied me."

Tao Che pursed his lips tightly as the apology seemed pale.

But all of a sudden, Qing Mo relaxed his tone, and he said, "Now I've taken away your brother, it's also unkind and unrighteous, just write it off."

Tao Cheng's love was about to overflow, and he showed off to Tao Che, "Are you like a storyteller?"

Tao Che was choked speechless, and after a while, he flattened his mouth, "You didn't take it away now, you took it away more than ten years ago."

The big pot rice in the military camp is far from exquisite, but it has a unique flavor.

Qingmo, a precious and disabled person, ordered Tao Cheng to point to where to hit. After drinking two meals of white porridge in a row, he finally ate a bite of meat. Hair!"

Qingmo likes fish very much, so he asked reluctantly, "How long should I avoid it?"

"Ten days and a half a month. The deepest wounds are on the hands. Once the hands are free, you don't have to eat anything, and you can eat whatever you like."

Setting off after lunch, the carriage drove slowly, Qing Mo lay on the bed with his head resting on Tao Cheng's lap, and soon fell asleep.

Tao Che was pinching a souvenir, his eyes were about to show anger, "This Lin Wei...don't even have such a big mouth for a lion!"

Tao Cheng took it, and Mr. Lin Lin was about to open the warehouse for relief. He folded it and put it in his lapel, "I'll take it to my father, just to find an excuse for him to beat me up."

Qing Mo, who was sleeping in a daze, still had his eyes closed, and his voice was not loud but full of threats, "You dare to try!"

After abandoning his prejudice, Tao Che couldn't help but look at Mo Mo more and more, and he liked him more and more. Seeing his brother's happy smile, he also raised his lips slightly, "He really dares."

Tao Chengying and turned against others and began to bully others together, "You only have this mouth in your whole body, how can you threaten me? Scold me and bite me?"

If Tao Che hadn't been there, Qingmo would have been able to utter lewd words to him, so he couldn't take it anymore. It's a pity, so he had to soften his voice and turned his head to Tao Cheng's stomach, "Don't you go."

"You went and were beaten to a half-mutilation, who will serve me?"

"It's hard for me to seize the opportunity to order you, and I've thought through all the reasonable and unreasonable requests."

"You don't record it in the account, will you calculate it with me when I recover?"

Tao Che watched his brother throw away his helmet and armor, and felt that the air in the carriage was so sweet that he couldn't breathe.
