Dream Chasing Order

3. The bleak autumn wind is here again

Going to the backyard, I saw Zhang Liang standing beside Yan Zhan at a loss, Yan Zhan looked at Yan Lu tearfully, pitifully, didn't speak, just looked at him innocently.

Yan Lu tidied up Yan Zhan's clothes, and looked at Zhang Liang suspiciously: "What's going on?"

Zhang Liang scratched his head, seeing Yan Lu's serious expression for the first time, he said incoherently: "Brother, I... am not... Zhan'er... Uh..."

Yan Zhan cried louder and hugged Yan Lu: "Brother..."

Yan Lu frowned, only glanced at Zhang Liang, then carried Yan Zhan to the attic, and gently put the young girl on the couch.

Yan Zhan only said: "Brother, go out, I'm tired."

Yan Lu was very worried in his heart, how could he be tired before the time of Xu?If you ask her, she will definitely not speak up?Helpless, he had no choice but to go downstairs and ask Zhang Liang, "What happened?"

Zhang Liang thought for a while, then said softly: "Brother, when I found Zhan'er, you found it."

Yan Lu only glanced at Zhang Liang and said, "You have something to hide from me, why don't you want to tell?"

Zhang Liang thought that he had covered it up well enough, but Yan Lu finally saw the clues.Zhang Liang wanted to tell the whole story, but he saw Yan Zhan standing in the secret place of the stairs with a sly smile, feeling a little regretful in his heart, he shouldn't have made a bet, the feeling of being suspected by the second senior brother was too painful.Moreover, the most important thing is that this is not ready yet... Zhang Liang felt extremely sad when he saw the eyes of the second senior brother who were gradually hiding disappointment.

After a long time, Yan Lu said: "You go back first. Give me an answer tomorrow, okay?"

Zhang Liang nodded, glanced at Yan Zhan, and regretted even more after going out...

Yan Lu sat by the couch, thought over what happened today, and ruled out all guesses.Then, there was only one possibility that was the most possible, and I was already thinking about it, so I just continued to read the books by the light.

At Haishi, Yan Lu went upstairs to see if Yan Zhan was sleeping peacefully, just like in the past.At this moment, Yan Zhan was concentrating on wrapping his wound, and didn't notice Yan Lu behind him.

Yan Zhan muttered gloomily: "Stinky Zhang Liang! His swordsmanship is really not as good as his brother's. He missed a sword and stabbed so deeply, it hurts to death!"

Yan Lu frowned, with a trace of reproach in his heartache: "Why are you so naughty? But you found Liang and went to fight with the sword?" Yan Zhan was so frightened that he dropped the medicine bottle, and Yan Lu caught the medicine bottle with quick eyesight and quick hands.Putting it on the side of the couch, gently bandaged Yan Zhan, "Why don't you speak?"

Yan Zhan was a little discouraged, and said softly: "Not necessarily. Brother, can you tell me what you think about today's matter?"

Yan Lu treated the wound well, and said calmly: "I understand, you and Liang are all because of me. If one day, you and Liang can only choose one person, and I choose Liang, will you hate me and blame me? "

Yan Zhan suddenly smiled, and sure enough, even though they haven't lived together for a long time, they still know Yan Lu well, and said with a smile, "Brother, do you want to know what's on my mind?" Yan Lu looked at her, waiting for her next sentence, she said, "I hope my brother chooses Zhang Liang instead of me."

Yan Lu was puzzled: "Why?"

Yan Zhan smiled: "Brother just promises me, and you can choose according to your own wishes. If one day, no matter what, choose Zhang Liang first. I will definitely not complain."

Yan Lu didn't speak anymore, and Yan Zhan didn't give any explanation.

Yan Zhan was silent for a long time, and said again: "Actually, today's matter is a bet between me and Zhang Liang."

Yan Lu didn't open his mouth, just waiting for her to say everything.

Yan Zhan seemed to have gotten used to his elder brother's silence, and continued: "Although Zhang Liang is more mature and intelligent than the students of Wendao Academy, he is still a child. He has relied on his elder brother for many years and regarded him as a relative. After I appeared, Elder brother didn’t treat Zhang Liang as he did before. Zhang Liang had a special feeling in his heart. He even doubted whether his elder brother didn’t care about him anymore. These were not what he said to me personally, but the day before yesterday when elder brother was in class, he was sleepy and Dream talk after my brother fell asleep on the couch."

Yan Lu was filled with guilt, did he still ignore Liang?Yan Zhan looked at Yan Lu's slightly frowned eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to smooth it out: "Brother, you are neither a saint nor a god-man, how can you level a bowl of water without tilting at all?"

"Later, when I saw him wake up, I comforted him: If one day, when my brother makes a choice, he will definitely choose him. In fact, I was not just comforting him with my words. Just now when my brother asked, didn't it prove it? However, Zhang Liang I only said that I was just consoling. Although I thanked him, I was still depressed. I bet against it, today's random show. In the end, it was not arranged. Zhang Liang's sword missed the point, and the elder brother came ..."

Yan Lu listened silently, and only then did he realize that the people he knew also knew him.However, he still doesn't know why he chose Liang, nor why Zhan'er gave up on him.Xu, some things are unreasonable.

……

Zhang Liang, who was in the attic in the autumn wind at the moment, felt even more sour and blamed himself when he heard this conversation.Taking advantage of Yan Lu's absence, Yan Zhan went down and handed Zhang Liang a thick cloak and a lamp, and Zhang Liang left with the lamp.Yan Zhan suddenly heard Yan Lu calling him, and had already come downstairs, only lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Yan Lu called her: "Don't stand in the wind, if you get typhoid fever, you will suffer a lot."

Yan Zhan ran to Yan Lu's side, stuck out his tongue like an ordinary child, and said coquettishly, "Isn't brother here?"

Yan Lu was a little confused and a little emotional: the girl in front of her was sometimes independent and tough, sometimes mischievous and well-behaved, sometimes mature and steady, young and old, and sometimes coquettish and flirtatious.

There were many memories in Yan Zhan's mind, and he suffered from a headache, so he fell into Yan Lu's arms.

……

The autumn wind is blowing outside the window, the tree shadows are shaking, and the moonlight is faint.

Yan Lu got up and closed the window tightly, sitting beside Yan Zhan's couch and sighing.He didn't know why, Zhan'er always fainted due to headaches, but when she woke up, she seemed to have nothing, or was it because she didn't want to talk about it?He couldn't find any reason, read too many ancient books, and couldn't find a similar disease. Is it a disease?He doesn't know.He could only helplessly watch Yan Zhan suffer from headaches every two months, but he had no other choice.And this headache seems to be like a curse, already tormenting this weak body at regular intervals.He felt distressed, he only hated himself for not being able to replace him, and even more hated himself for being incompetent!

The wind outside the window, like a sleepy person, gradually weakens, only the cold moonlight is as bright as before.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once the frost and cold have passed, the autumn leaves will fall, and it will be another year of autumn wind!

A month later, Yan Lu and the disciples in the village went on a long trip, saying they were going to pick up a group of guests who were blocked by the heavy rain. When they left, please ask Fu Nian to take care of Yan Zhan.

Fu Nian knew that Yan Zhan was weak, so she wrapped the weak girl tightly and thoughtfully, even forbidding her to go out, and lit charcoal inside the house to keep warm.

Yan Zhan had no choice but to go downstairs, and asked: "Master Fu, it's like winter before it's cold, and it's really winter, don't you want me to wrap up in a bedding?"

Zhang Liang snickered beside him, speechless.

Well, he is indeed not as caring as the second junior brother, and most importantly, he doesn't know how weak Yan Zhan is... Can't blame him!Fu Nian showed embarrassment, and said softly, "Sorry."

Yan Zhan went back to the attic, took off two thick clothes, and when she came out again, she felt much lighter.Zhang Liang said, "It's better to add a little more, so as not to catch cold."

Yan Zhan shook his head: "It's okay. I know my body, so I don't need to worry too much."

Fu Nian said softly: "In the future, it will be the same as Lu, you can just call me brother, you don't need to call me head."

Yan Zhan froze for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "So, why do you call you 'Brother Fu'?"

Fu Nian said: "Yes."

Zhang Liang asked: "Zhan'er, why don't you call me elder brother? I am also older than you!"

Yan Zhan turned her head away from looking at him, and said angrily, "I'm only one year older, I won't call you! Hmph~"

Fu Nian saw that the two were bickering and it was difficult to adjust, so he ordered Zhang Liang to read and practice calligraphy, Yan Zhan was secretly happy~~~

After Zhang Liang left, Fu Nian wanted to turn around and leave, Yan Zhan said softly: "Brother Fu, can you take Zhan'er to play?" Fu Nian remained silent, Yan Zhan said again, "It's not teaching time now, Brother Fu shouldn't be busy ?”

Fu Nian frowned, he was still somewhat worried about Yan Zhan's body.Ruolu came back and Yanzhan fell ill again, how to explain to him?

Yan Zhan seemed to see the worry in Fu Nian's heart, and said: "I am not as delicate as when I came here, brother Fu, don't worry!"

Fu Nian thought for a long time, but still refused: "No."

Yan Zhan seemed to have expected such an answer, and said with a smile: "Then, elder brother Fu will accompany Zhan'er to practice Ji and calligraphy together?"

She wants to talk about practicing swords, but it is estimated that she will be rejected again.Compared with his elder brother, this head of Fu Da, who has always been stern, is too difficult to persuade - at least he can act like a baby in front of his elder brother without any scruples, and then his heart softens, and his tricks are enough to succeed!But now, I don't have Zhang Liang's eloquence, so I can't say Fu Nian!Yan Zhan sighed heavily with a dejected face, raised her eyes to catch Fu Nian's puzzled eyes, and hurriedly gave her an extremely bright smile.Although I have been thinking about it for 24 years, I am still a little dazed looking at such an innocent face, and my cheeks flushed when I regained my senses.

……

The autumn wind is bleak, with rain and chills.

Yan Zhan couldn't help shivering, Fu Nian frowned, and reproached: "Just now I told you to add more clothes, but you refused. Are you cold now?"

Yan Zhan knelt and sat next to the table, looking back, Fu Nian had already taken back the cloak and put it on for her, Yan Zhan thought silently: Brother Fu, isn't it the mouth of a knife and the heart of tofu?A snicker showed the corners of his lips, seeing Fu Nian sitting beside him, he immediately stopped the smile.I picked up the pen and thought about it, but I didn't know what to write, so I became dazed.

The torrential rain fell outside the window, and the cold air suddenly increased.

Presumably, this is the last autumn rain?Yan Zhan looked at the gradually fading sky, and said casually, "I wonder if it's the time of the year?"

Fu Nian looked out of the window, the wind and rain are imminent today, I think it's because I'm thinking about the road?Fu Nian replied: "Well, it should be Xu time."

Yan Zhan didn't seem to hear Fu Nian's answer, she was still looking out of the window in a daze, and then wrote fourteen characters with a pen.Fu Nian looked at it, feeling very confused, and only asked what Yan Zhan wrote.Yan Zhan looked at the fourteen characters suspiciously, and said lightly: "Brother Fu, don't you know?"

Fu Nian shook his head and said, "I have little knowledge and little knowledge."

Yan Zhan sighed softly: "Lying in the night to listen to the wind and rain, the iron horse and ice river are dreaming. You don't know it not because of your lack of knowledge, but because this is not the language of the seven countries, nor is it the lost word of the sages. I... don't know clearly. I can't find the source, and I can't remember how I know how to read. I only know that I have lost too many memories, but I can't recall them, as if they are the last thing I want to remember Every two months, I would have unbearable headaches, and then faint. A little memory would show up, but it was always incoherent. Maybe it hadn’t reached a certain point. After a few more years of headaches, I might remember everything, and then Get up."

Fu Nian hesitated a little, he didn't quite understand the meaning of Yan Zhan's words, so he glanced at her, thinking, she also doesn't know what to say?Yan Zhan's brows were clouded with sorrow, showing confusion.Fu Nian's voice was still majestic, but caring: "If you feel bored, I'll call Liang to play with you?"

Yan Zhan shook her head hastily, looking at those sharp eyes in a panic: "No!"

She wanted to say: I would rather face an iceberg, or Fu Nian that resembles an iceberg, than follow Zhang Liang——I am too stupid to play with Zhang Liang and always lose!

Fu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Yan Zhan who was about to jump up and said: "I'm not like this."

Well, he really doesn't understand the nature of children, especially Liang and Zhan'er, these two children who are more special than other Confucian scholars, it seems that the two are quite close, but why don't they want to play together?Seeing Yan Zhan's resentful expression, he had a slight guess in his heart.

Yan Zhan looked at Fu Nian full of doubts: "Brother Fu, where are you and my brother's teacher? Why do you have an uncle, but you have never heard of the master?"

Fu Nian looked a little sad, and his voice was slightly choked: "Four years ago, Master handed over Confucianism and the entire Xiaoshengxianzhuang to me, and then passed away."

Yan Zhan lowered his eyebrows and apologized: "Brother Fu, Zhan'er was wrong."

Fu Nian said: "Those who don't know, don't blame it."

Yan Zhan heaved a sigh of relief, hoo~ I was so frightened that I was in a cold sweat, thinking that I would be reprimanded!The last time I saw him reprimanding Zhang Liang, um... so fierce!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fu Nian thought that she was extremely cautious, but Yan Zhan finally fell ill, and she never got better after taking many side effects.Fu Nian couldn't invite Uncle Xun, so he had to order someone to find other people who were proficient in medical science and live there for a long time.

Yan Zhan's illness didn't seem to be as simple as wind and cold. The person who should be hired was a little uncertain, so he had to ask Yan Zhan for his daily medication.

Zhang Liangdao: "She hasn't taken the medicine for several months, the medicine is [-]% poisonous, the second senior brother told me that if it is not necessary, there is no need to take more. In the past few months, Zhan'er has not had any discomfort, so she has not taken any medicine."

……

The man only prescribed one dose of medicine, and Yan Zhan's illness improved a little, but the recovery was delayed all the time.

Fu Nian has trouble sleeping and eating day and night. Apart from reading and teaching, he takes care of Yan Zhan's side. He only hopes that the second junior brother can come back soon. Although he can't explain to him, at least he is familiar with Zhan'er's body and medicine, and he has also read many books.

Fu Nian took good care of him as much as possible. Although Yan Zhan has been ill, his spirit has always been good. He was very happy to see Fu Nian come to the attic to see him. Seeing him, he smiled happily: "Brother Fu~"

Fu Nian felt a little more joy in his heart, and he asked softly, "How are you doing today?"

Yan Zhan smiled and said, "Dizzy, but better than yesterday."

Fu Nian sighed helplessly, and only asked, "What do you want to hear today?"

Yan Zhan pondered for a moment, then hummed a song by herself, Fu Nian took out the piano that was left in the study yesterday, put it on the table, and played it to her according to the tune that Yan Zhan had just hummed.With a smile on the corner of Yan Zhan's lips, he gradually became drowsy and drowsy.It was a lengthy autumn dream, as if all the previous dreams had been exhausted.In the dream, there was a familiar elder brother and another person, who seemed to be very familiar, but he couldn't recognize who it was.In the dream, someone called himself "sister", someone called himself daughter, and someone...

……

After finishing the song, Fu Nian looked at the sleeping Yan Zhan, put away the piano, and wanted to leave, but he was not at ease.I stayed by his side last night until midnight.If Zhang Liang hadn't come here to call him, he must have fallen asleep in this attic.These days, Fu Nian would play the piano in response to Yan Zhanzhi's singing every time these days. He just thought that no matter what, as long as she has something she likes, he must satisfy her as much as possible and live up to the second junior brother So solemnly entrusting himself to himself, it is worthy of Zhan'er to regard himself as a parent.

Then, one song every night became an invisible agreement between the two.Fu Nian felt that Zhan'er was not like an ordinary child.Although she is sick, she is still in good spirits, she smiles from time to time, and occasionally treats herself like a road.He has always been serious, but for some reason, Yan Zhan didn't have the slightest fear of him.On the contrary, over the past few days, Yan Zhan feels that Fu Nian is only as majestic in front of people, and when alone, he will be as kind as his elder brother. Although he will not have a clear and warm smile like his elder brother, he must be reasonable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon, it will be winter.

Yan Lu has not yet returned, but Yan Zhan's body has recovered, Fu Nian can finally relax and prepare to welcome the distant guests.Calculated, Yan Lu should be back in the next few days.Zhuang Zhong was busy, and Zhang Liang also helped Fu Nian with the students to take care of various things.

Yan Zhan practiced sword alone, and hadn't practiced sword for a month, almost forgot.She must practice well and give her brother a surprise!She also wanted to tell her brother about Brother Fu Nian, but she actually saw Brother Fu Nian's smile!Although it is so short and shallow, thanks to my sharp eyesight!She didn't know who the visitor was, she just thought it should be someone important, otherwise, how could the village be so busy?And be extremely cautious different from the past?
