The return of the son-in-law

After more than a month, the water truck has been built, and the ditch has been built more than half. When it was about to be completed, there was a sudden heavy rain in Tonghua County, and there was no clearing for several days.

The construction of ditches can only be temporarily stopped, and the heavy rain is so strong that even the farmers who are farming can only stay at home, waiting for the sun to clear up early, so that they can quickly catch up with the falling farm work.

Huo Yu couldn't go out to play anymore, so he stayed in the study every day to practice calligraphy and read books.

On this day, Huo Yu went to the study to practice calligraphy after breakfast, but found that Guo Zhanan, who usually arrived earlier than him, was not in the study.

Huo Yu only thought that Guo Zhan'an got up late, or was delayed by other things, so he didn't suspect him.After all, after the beginning of spring, especially after everyone in Tonghua County changed their attitude towards Guo Zhanan, Guo Zhanan had more and more official duties, and the time to come to the study was not so regular.

Although Guo Zhanan is usually in the study at this time, maybe there is something important that he needs to deal with immediately?

Until noon, when Huo Yu saw Guo Zhan'an naked, he was startled: "Brother, why did you become like this?"

The heavy rain was majestic, even though Guo Zhanan had made sufficient preparations before going out, he was still drenched by the heavy rain as if he had been fished out of the water.

He shuddered and said, "It's nothing, I'm worried about repairing half of the ditches, so I went to have a look."

Huo Yu called for someone to prepare ginger soup, while he closed the door, built a brazier in the room, pushed and pulled Guo Zhanan to the side of the brazier, urged the man to take off his soaked clothes and fetch another dry Hand the towel to Guo Zhanan and let him wipe his hair.

Huo Yu himself took out a set of clean underwear from the cabinet, put it next to the brazier to roast for a while, and then gave it to Guo Zhanan to change into.

Guo Zhan'an saw that Huo Yu was doing so smoothly, and saw that his mouth was tight at a young age, and his face was serious, but he had learned [-]% or [-]% from Elder Sun, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be old-fashioned, I will It's just raining, don't show me any more face."

Only then did Huo Yu's face soften a little. He noticed that Guo Zhan'an's voice was slightly hoarse, and said worriedly: "Brother wait, I'll call you a doctor to take a look."

Guo Zhan'an smiled and said, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, it's just a rain, it doesn't get in the way."

Huo Yu insisted on going to invite the doctor: "Brother, don't feel troublesome, anyway, I will go to invite the doctor. You stay here to warm up, and when the ginger soup is ready, drink a bowl while it's hot, and I'll be back soon of."

This time Guo Zhan'an simply reached out and grabbed Huo Yu's shoulder, frowned and said, "It's raining so hard outside, don't go."

Huo Yu said with a playful smile: "It's just raining, it's not a problem."

Guo Zhanan frowned, and glared at Huo Yu: "You haven't learned much in this period of time, but you have grown a lot more courageous, and you actually learned my words to block me?"

Seeing Guo Zhan'an like this, Huo Yu's heart pounded, and his smiling face immediately became tangled up. He hesitated for a moment, but insisted on going to invite a doctor: "Brother, let me go, but I just invite a doctor, and I will be back soon."

Guo Zhanan didn't let go: "It's raining so hard, is there a doctor willing to come with you?"

Huo Yu naturally has his own way: "With a lot of money, there must be a brave man. I don't believe that if I pay a little more for the consultation, there will be doctors who don't want to come."

Guo Zhanan was angry and funny: "Oh? Are you rich?"

Huo Yu said with a smile: "Grandpa gave me all my share of money every month, except for buying snacks, I have saved two pennies now."

Guo Zhan'an still didn't want to let Huo Yu go, he knew how much rain it was outside, he had experienced it himself.It doesn't matter for him to get caught in the rain, but Huo Yu suffered from the cold in the snow for so long when he was a child, and he has deficiencies since he was a child, so he can't get caught in the rain.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside. It turned out that the ginger soup was cooked and brought over while it was still hot.

Huo Yu took the opportunity to break away, ran to open the door, and told the servants to wait for Guo Zhanan to finish drinking the ginger soup, while he picked up the straw coir raincoat that Guo Zhanan took off at the door, and went out in the heavy rain.

Guo Zhan'an didn't expect that Huo Yu would not listen to him, so he ran away like this, his hands were trembling in a hurry, and the little servant beside him was terrified, and offered ginger soup tremblingly: "Master, this is from the second young master. My heart, young master, drink it while it's hot."

Guo Zhanan had no choice but to drink.He didn't like this taste since he was a child, and after drinking a bowl of ginger soup, he frowned even more, and secretly made up his mind that when Huo Yu came back, he would teach this disrespectful guy a lesson!

But even so, thinking of Huo Yu going out to invite a doctor for himself in the heavy rain, he still couldn't help but ordered: "Let the kitchen cook more ginger soup, wait for the second young master to come back, watch the second young master drink, drink a big Basin will do!"

Huo Yu came back much sooner than Guo Zhan'an expected. An over-year-old doctor carefully guarded his box and followed Huo Yu to the backyard.

"Brother, brother, I'm back." Huo Yu pulled Langzhong to hurry, but when he opened the door and saw Guo Zhanan sitting on a stool waiting for him, he was still startled.

"I still know to come back." Guo Zhanan's voice was completely hoarse at this time, "Go, bring ginger soup to the second young master, I want to watch him drink a pot."

At this time, Huo Yu didn't have time to pay attention to Guo Zhan'an's "punishment". He ran to Guo Zhan'an, grabbed his arm with both hands, and dragged Guo Zhan'an to the bed: "Brother, stop joking, why are you still sitting here? Go to the bed Lying down, didn't you see how you were burnt?"

It would be better if Huo Yu didn't say anything, but when he said it, Guo Zhan'an realized that he was really hot all over his body. He thought it was the effect of ginger soup. Did he really have a fever?

At this time, the doctor was relieved, and seeing Guo Zhanan like this, he knew it was not good, so he hurriedly asked someone to lie down on the bed: "It's raining so hard, why did you go out?"

Huo Yu said anxiously from the side: "Doctor, don't ask other questions, just see what's wrong with my brother!"

While examining Guo Zhan'an's pulse, the doctor said, "Is there a need to ask? You don't need to look, smell and ask. You can tell by looking at it. My lord is suffering from the wind and cold. He will feel better."

Huo Yu asked nervously, "What happened?"

The doctor asked Guo Zhan'an to open his mouth again, looked at his tongue coating, and said, "Your Excellency has been overworked these days, and his bones are not good. Today, he was drenched in the rain, and all the hidden problems in his body were stimulated." Alright. Come on, this disease won’t get better in a while, and I have to take it slowly. I’ll write a prescription, and I’ll find someone to go get the medicine with me. Mr. Guo will have a high fever tonight, and someone must watch over it for a while. You can’t even leave. If your lord wakes up tomorrow and the fever subsides, then it will be fine, and the rest is to slowly recuperate your body. If the high fever persists tomorrow, then you need to use some strong medicine.”

After Huo Yu heard the doctor's words, he was frightened: "Then, how about using strong medicine now? If the high fever persists tomorrow, wouldn't it be too late to prescribe the medicine?"

"Ignorant child!" the doctor said angrily, "It's the medicine that is three-point poisonous. He is too weak now. Using strong medicine is a bad idea. How can he use it from the beginning? I will prepare a pair of antipyretic medicine first, and use a large fire Boil, five large bowls of water each time, boil it into a small bowl, and let the adults eat it. This antipyretic medicine must be taken every hour, remember, every hour."

Huo Yu nodded, remembering each of them in his heart, and when the doctor wrote the prescription and handed it to him, he carefully put it away, then took out his small purse from the hidden pocket in his clothes, and poured out all the copper coins inside: "How much does the doctor ask for? It's not enough for me to get it."

The doctor shook his head: "Master Guo is very kind to us in Tonghua County, I can't accept this money. On the contrary, young master, you can send someone to grab the medicine with me."

Huo Yu finally understood money during this period of time. When he heard the doctor say that he didn't want money, he shook his head and said, "No, I must give you the money. In the future, if we have headaches, we still need to find a doctor. If the doctor doesn't accept it this time , we won’t dare to look for you next time.”

Guo Zhanan lay on the bed and said, "Doctor, my brother is right, the consultation fee must be collected."

The doctor had no choice but to sweep some of the copper plates on the table into his hands: "This is enough."

Huo Yu had no intention of persuading him, he was only thinking of grabbing medicine and making it for Guo Zhan'an to drink, but Guo Zhan'an was already groggy at this time.

Guo Zhan'an's condition was not good, so Huo Yu had no choice but to ask the boy to follow the doctor to get the medicine, and then let the boy go to tell Mr. Sun that he would not go back to sleep today, and stay at Guo Zhan'an's side to guard him.

Huo Yu moved a stool, sat by the bed, looked at Guo Zhan'an's drowsy appearance, and felt very distressed: "Brother, really, it's raining so hard, even if it's a big deal, you should stay at home."

Guo Zhan'an was pretending to be asleep, and he didn't have the energy to open his eyes at this time, so he replied hoarsely: "Children have a temper, no matter how heavy the rain is, there are people who are outside to make a living. The project is not over yet, so I don't worry. Fortunately, I took a look. , The rain was so strong that the oilcloth covering the wood and stone was not pressed tightly, and a lot was blown away."

"Then brother can ask others to do it, why go by himself?" Huo Yu was anxious, "Where's the county magistrate? What about the dredger? Those who repair the ditches?"

"Don't worry," Guo Zhan'an coughed a few times, and continued, "There are too few useful and trustworthy people around me now, and I have to do these things myself."

Huo Yu felt sore: "It's all my fault. If I'm useful, I can relieve my brother's worries."

Guo Zhan'an noticed the faint crying in Huo Yu's words, and tried to open his eyes to look, and found that there were tears in the corners of Huo Yu's eyes, obviously he had been holding back for a long time.

"It's fine, why are you crying?"

Huo Yu felt even more uncomfortable when he heard Guo Zhanan's question, and burst into tears: "It's all my fault, if I'm useful, my brother won't suffer from the cold and have a high fever."

Before Huo Yu came to Tonghua County with Guo Zhanan, he assumed the identity of the son of Huo Dashan in the cottage. He was weak and sick when he was a child, and no one dared to ask him to do things.It can be said that from the time he was sensible to the present, he has always lived a carefree life, doing what he wants to do, and not doing what he doesn't want to do.

In the past, Huo Dashan taught him martial arts. Huo Yu was young and couldn't bear hardships, and he didn't want to squat, so Huo Dashan taught him some beautiful sword and spear skills.After Huo Dashan's death, Boss Sun also wanted to teach Huo Yu martial arts, but Huo Yu still didn't like squatting, and still only learned fancy and useless sword skills, not to mention getting up early every day to practice basic skills.Even Old Sun, who is old-fashioned, has to try every means to coax Huo Yu to read and practice calligraphy.

It was only now that Huo Yu realized how incompetent he was.

When Huo Yu cried like this, Guo Zhanan didn't care that he was still seriously ill, and sat up from the bed, trying to comfort Huo Yu.But he has always been a cold-hearted person, and he doesn't know how to comfort others. After being a good Tanhualang, he has turned into a clumsy person who is tongue-tied.

I don't know if it's from Fu Ling's heart, or from feeling, Guo Zhan'an stretched out his hand and hugged Huo Yu into his arms: "Okay, don't cry, a man, is it useful to cry all the time?"

Huo Yu's cheek touched Guo Zhan'an's hot skin, and realized that Guo Zhan'an was still a sick person, so he quickly stopped crying, hiccupped and broke away from Guo Zhan'an's arms, and stretched out his hand to push him back into the bed: "Brother, lie down quickly, it's not good to catch a cold gone."

Speaking of this, Guo Zhan'an remembered that Huo Yu hadn't had ginger soup yet, and said, "Go and drink the ginger soup on the table, and go to the cabinet to get a change of clothes."

It was only then that Huo Yu felt that his body was sticky and uncomfortable. He was worried about leaving Guo Zhanan alone in the room, so he took Guo Zhanan's clothes from the cabinet and changed into them.The size is a bit too big, but with the belt fastened and the sleeves rolled up, it can barely be worn.

There was enough brazier in the room, Huo Yu didn't need to wear a robe or a cloak anymore, he drank a bowl of ginger soup, and stayed in front of Guo Zhanan's bed again.

When Guo Zhanan was drowsy, he heard Huo Yu's voice coming from far and near: "Brother, wait for me, I will become a useful person."
