Chapter 10 The eldest brother is like a father

When Li Cong was rushing back, Xiao Xian got up from the bed, and when Li Cong lifted the curtain to enter the room, Xiao Xian was sitting on the couch, clutching his hair in a daze.

He changed his body, anyway, he couldn't see what he looked like, and he didn't feel too awkward, but the extra clump of long hair that was hanging down to his waist really worried him.

No matter how honestly you sleep, you should always turn over.Not to mention the disheveled hair like a lunatic, the messy strands of hair are always running around, sometimes wrapping around the neck and sometimes covering the eyes, the fluffy hair makes people uncomfortable, I really want to cut it clean.But Xiao Xian vaguely remembered what was said in the Book of Filial Piety that the body, hair and skin should not be harmed by the parents, and that is the beginning of filial piety. Therefore, cutting hair has always been a disrespectful thing in the eyes of the ancients. Even if this is not a dynasty that existed in history, it should not be too reckless. What if I cut my hair rashly and was dragged out and burned to death as a monster?

Xiao Xian pondered wildly in his mind, staring at his hair to see the gods.It's fine that Li Xian has a woman's face, but he has long hair that is more beautiful than Wei Zifu.A woman with cloud temples and ring buns floating like a fairy is praised by others, but it is a waste to grow it on a man's head.Seeing that I have small arms and legs, and with such a hairstyle, he is the mother of all mothers. I really sighed: Alas... I only hate myself for not dressing like Li Cong. My body is there. Even if he was dirty and dressed in rags, he couldn't hide his demeanor.

At the moment when Xiao Xian was complaining, Li Cong stepped into the back room, saw that Xiao Xian was thinking about something in a daze with his head down, and he didn't even notice when he came back, so he coughed lightly.Hearing the sound, Xiao Xian raised his head, seeing that it was Li Cong, he burst into a smile, and said excitedly to the visitor: "Ah, brother, you are back."

"Yeah. Go to the county to deliver food." Li Cong nodded.Xiao Xian didn't ask where Li Cong was going, but Li Cong explained where he was going, not wanting to disturb Xiao Xian.Seeing that Xiao Xian had put on his clothes and was sitting on the bedside, he asked again: "When did you get up?"

"Oh, I just woke up for a while." Xiao Xian asked and answered, his attention was obviously not on Li Cong, and he was still holding the hair in his hand, which seemed to be deeply resentful.

"Are you hungry?" Li Cong asked.Looking at the sky, it's actually still early, but considering that Xiao Xian went to bed early last night, he probably should be hungry by this time.

"Uh," food and clothing are a major plan for the people's livelihood, Xiao Xian was stunned for a moment, and finally let go of the hair in his hands, lowered his head and patted his stomach, and said, "A little bit."

"Brother, I'll get you some hot food, just wait." Li Cong said as he left the back room, went into the stove to heat porridge and chicken soup, boiled the medicine, waited for the water to boil, scooped up the hot water and poured it into the In the washbasin, add cold water and try to see if it is almost hot, take the cup and silk handkerchief and carry the washbasin into the room to prepare Xiao Xian's wash.

"Come and wash your face." Li Cong moved the stool to the side of the couch as yesterday, and put the water basin for Xiao Xian to wash his face.

Xiao Xian looked at the half basin of steaming warm water beside the couch, and shook his head in embarrassment: "No, it's already been washed."

"Washed?" Li Cong was surprised.

Xiao Xian nodded: "Well, I just wash it with the water in the kitchen pot."

Li Cong frowned in displeasure, put the basin on the table, sat down on the stool beside the couch, and asked Xiao Xian, "Didn't you be told not to go to the ground?"

"I felt that I was almost in good health, so I got up and washed myself. Besides, I don't need to bother my elder brother for such a trivial matter as washing my face..." Xiao Xian scratched his head and explained with a smile.

"Nonsense!" Li Cong interrupted Xiao Xian, raised his hand and lightly knocked Xiao Xian on the head to teach him a lesson: "It's only been a day, and the medicine hasn't been taken yet, how can he be in good health? Listen to what the doctor says, Otherwise, the root cause of the disease will fall, and you will be able to bear it in the future."

The ancients were so troublesome, and they liked to make a fuss out of a molehill, and the disease could be cured by rest, but it also involved health preservation, qi and blood, and so on.Xiao Xian turned his face away and curled his lips, but when he turned back, he said to Li Cong like a good brother: "Yes, yes, I was wrong, I won't do it next time."

Li Cong laughed, knowing that Xiao Xian promised, he must be murmuring disobediently in his heart, he shook his head helplessly and said: "It's really a child's heart, I can't rest at all, but just lie down for half a month, bear it and pass."

Haha, Xiao Xian smirked.It’s a child again, why do all the older brothers in the world act like “My brother is an adult, but you are still young”, “My brother is smarter than you, my younger brother is an idiot”, or “My older brother takes care of you, the younger brother only needs to be obedient That's it"?Looking at Li Cong's appearance, he is not much older than him, is he?

Concerned about age, Xiao Xian suddenly remembered that he didn't know how old his "self" was now, so he asked Li Cong, "Brother, how old am I this year?"

"This..." Li Cong was stunned suddenly, but stopped him from asking.Frowning, he filtered the matter of Qu Xian in his mind, and murmured uncertainly: "Probably... Seventeen." Then he suddenly remembered that he went to the county yesterday to inquire about Hongxinglou. When Qu Xian's age was mentioned, Li Cong thought about it carefully, and then said firmly: "Yes, it is indeed seventeen."

"Seventeen is not too young." Xiao Xian looked down at his small body, muttered, but thought in his heart that Li Xian has grown up to look like this for 17 years, it is really blind.

But Li Cong didn't think so.From the moment he planned to let Qu Xian live, he put Qu Xian in the position of his younger brother. Even if Qu Xian is seventy or eighty years old, he still looks like a younger brother in his eyes, so when he heard Xiao Xian's retort, Li Cong said: "There are still three years before we are weak. How can you not be considered a child? Brother should take care of you. I am your brother. If you have anything to do, just tell brother. Where is the family going to be troublesome?"

"Oh oh oh..." Xiao Xian nodded again and again, responding quickly to one sound after another, but he didn't know how much he really listened to.Li Cong looked at Xiao Xian like that, and suddenly thought of teasing him, so he said with a straight face, "Remember, since you are a younger brother, you will be a junior for the rest of your life, even if you are an adult, I will still take care of you .”

"Ah?" Xiao Xian shouted out in shock.seriously?I still have to be taken care of by my elder brother when I am an adult. Is it some strange custom in this place?But I am a man, do men have to obey the three principles and five principles of obeying father and brother at home, and obeying husband when married?

Li Cong smiled secretly, continued to nod solemnly and said, "Ah, what, haven't you heard the saying that elder brother is like father?"

"Uh..." Xiao Xian was at a loss for words, and couldn't tell whether Li Cong was joking or the real thing, so he was stunned for a while not knowing what to say.

Seeing Xiao Xian's silence, Li Cong put away his jokes, raised his hand to smooth Xiao Xian's messy hair, and said, "But when you marry a wife and have a baby, brother won't care about it. It's up to you to take care of others. Now be obedient, don't always go to the ground, and don't run around, you don't know this place well, it's not good to get lost."

Li Cong sighed silently, and when he mentioned this, he remembered Qu Xian's identity.Qu Xian has lost his memory now, and he can't tell him what happened in the past, so he really has to watch him carefully, if he rashly goes to the county and is recognized, it will be troublesome.But even so, Li Cong was just thinking about it, if he told Qu Xianming, it would only make him suspicious, but the distance from the village to the county was not short, and Qu Xian didn't know the way, so he shouldn't be able to go anywhere.

Hearing what Li Cong said, Xiao Xian fell silent.Marry a wife and have children?How far away that must be.Really wait until then, will I still be here?It's just a wisp of erratic wandering soul, can I still wait for that time?But seeing Li Cong staring at him with concern and burning eyes, and what he said was indeed for his own good, Xiao Xian lowered his head and nodded silently.

Seeing Xiao Xian's listless look, Li Cong couldn't figure out whether he had thought about the past.If he still can't remember anything, why is there always a look of disappointment in his eyes?If it is said that he has remembered something, he doesn't know how much he remembered. After guessing like this, even Li Cong, who is used to taking things at ease, feels a little worried.But he sincerely hopes that Qu Xian can completely get rid of her status as a male hostess in the future and live a normal life.Although Donglang is open to men, there are many folks who marry male wives and male concubines, but regardless of whether they are men or not, it is not something worth showing off to serve people in Israel.

Li Cong sighed, didn't say anything else, rubbed Xiao Xian's head, gave him an explanation and went out to serve food.

The medicine has not been cooked yet, and it is still boiling on the stove. There are still some leftovers from the fish porridge and chicken soup made yesterday, but after two consecutive days of heavy dishes, I guess Xiao Xian will probably feel tired, so Li Cong decided to reheat them in the morning. Let Xiao Xian eat the leftovers at night, it's still early, so he can think of something to make up for him after noon.

Li Cong filled the chicken soup and porridge and brought them into the back room, looked over to the couch, Xiao Xian buried his head and was fiddling with his hair again.Li Cong was surprised. When he came back in the morning, he saw Xiao Xian staring at his hair with a look of bitterness and hatred. He didn't even move his eyes until he opened his mouth. He just went out to get something to eat. When he came in, he started to hold his hair in a daze. Well, what's going on?

"What are you doing staring at your hair? Could it be that there are flowers in your hair?" Li Cong put the things in his hand on the table, turned around and stood beside the couch and joked to Xiao Xian.

Just now when Li Cong came back to interrupt, Xiao Xian now remembered the urgent hair problem, so he shook his head and said: "Ah, no, the hair is too messy, I want to comb it, but I can't find a comb."

Even if the family is too poor to afford a bronze mirror, there should be a comb, right?It's not something expensive.But when he woke up in the morning, he went around and found scissors but not the comb.If it weren't for worrying that cutting hair might not be good, there must be a pile of broken hair on the ground now.

But Li Cong paused in doubt, and asked in confusion, "A comb? What is that?"

"It's just for combing your hair." What else can a comb do? Can you still eat without combing your hair?Xiao Xian slandered in his heart, thinking that Li Cong didn't hear clearly, so he explained something like this, but Li Cong was still staring at him in confusion, Xiao Xian had no choice but to raise his hand and grab a handful of hair in his hand to make a The movement of combing hair, shouted in the mouth: "That's how you comb your hair, comb your hair."

"Oh, is it uncomfortable to have loose hair? Wait, big brother will help you." Li Cong finally understood Xiao Xian's meaning, raised his brows, turned and walked to the closet.
