Painting Tang

"Well."

Mu Jingchen frowned when Yu Tang touched him, but he didn't wake up.

Yu Tang helped him to remove the broken hair on his forehead, and picked up the towel next to the pillow to wipe off the hot sweat on his body.When Mu Jingchen slept with his eyes closed, he lost his high spirits, and he seemed a little protective, especially when he was sick, like a big dog who just wanted to crawl into someone's arms after falling into the water.

"I told you yesterday that I would get sick."

Yu Tang smiled helplessly, pushed aside the corner of the quilt held in Mu Jingchen's hand, and was about to help him wipe away the cold sweat on his neck, when Mu Jingchen suddenly turned over and pressed down on Yu Tang with his arm .

"Sister-in-law, the medicine is ready... Ah! This, this, this, this!"

When Zhen Hui entered the room with a pot full of steaming brown-yellow liquid that smelled like Chinese medicine, he saw Yu Tang being tightly bound on the bed by their eldest and young masters.

"Zhoushou, shouldn't I come in at this time?"

Zhen Hui put away his chin that had fallen on the floor, and walked blankly at the door, either not or not.

"You know you're still going out?"

Mu Jingchen had obviously woken up, and ignored Yu Tang's resistance with squinted eyes and pressed his head in his arms. When Yu Tang heard him speak, she raised her hand and clenched her fist and hit him twice angrily.

"You woke up and pretended to be asleep...? Get up and drink your medicine!"

"Yes, sister-in-law is right."

As soon as Zhen Hui heard Yu Tang's words, he quickly walked in with the medicine jar again. The strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine made Mu Jingchen frown, and even Yu Tang, who was used to the smell of medicine, couldn't hold back his breath.

"Are you cooking the medicine I brought?"

"Of course, of course it has to be,"

Zhen Hui nodded, "It's because the brothers in the kitchen were afraid that the eldest brother would not have enough nutrition, so they added an old turtle shell to boil."

"Is there anything I don't have enough nutrition for? You all want me to pout in one breath after drinking it, right?"

Mu Jingchen looked at the medicine bowl with a sad face, just smelling it was already bitter enough, he craves sweetness and fears bitterness, so if he puts it in such a big bowl...it can't go down in such a big bowl.

But Xiao Haitang was watching from the side, if she couldn't drink it, wouldn't she look very unmanly?Will Yu Tang look down on him?But this soup contains not only traditional Chinese medicine, but also those old turtle shells. Maybe those bastards in the cooking camp secretly added some other ingredients to him?

"Isn't this sister-in-law coming, you know."

Zhen Hui looked at the two of them with a smile, and pushed the medicine bowl into Mu Jingchen's hand with dignity.

"Fuck you, don't dirty our little Haitang's ears."

Mu Jingchen took advantage of the opportunity to cover Yutang's ears, and drove Zhen Hui and the crowd of onlookers out of the window, and repeatedly warned them not to go too far with their jokes.

"They have been confined in the camp, and they feel fresh when they see you, so they are too enthusiastic,"

Mu Jingchen explained to Yu Tang, "It didn't scare you, did it?"

"will not."

Ever since Yu Tang knew that there were many other poisons hidden in the bowl, she felt that the smell of the medicine was so strong that her nose would bleed even if she smelled it, so she took two steps back while covering her nose.

"Drink the medicine quickly."

"It's just a minor illness. There's no need to take medicine. It will definitely be fine if you sleep with your head depressed."

Mu Jingchen made excuses to shirk, and no matter what, he didn't want to touch that bowl of horrible medicinal soup.

It's fine if it's just bad smell, but the bowl of black things still has a strange sticky feeling, and you can even see a piece of old turtle shell sinking at the bottom of the bowl.

"Mr. Mu, you are not afraid of suffering, are you?"

Yu Tang provoked skillfully, because the room was completely tainted by the smell of medicine, and even his breath was a bit bitter, so he took out a candy from his pocket that he didn't have time to eat on the way, peeled it off and put it in his mouth.

"Ha, how is it possible."

Mu Jingchen smiled forcefully, "There is nothing in this world that I am afraid of."

"Then ask Mr. Mu to take a sip, it's beneficial and harmless."

Yu Tang thought for a while, then added, "I'll treat you to a candy after drinking."

"keep your word."

The arrow was on the string and had to be fired, Mu Jingchen gritted his teeth, raised his neck, held his breath and gulped down the bowl of bitter medicine dregs.

"Yutang,"

Mu Jingchen stared blankly at the bottom of the empty bowl, "I feel like my tongue has disappeared."

"Yumian drinks it every day, it's not as serious as you said."

Yu Tang suppressed a smile, Mu Jingchen must be afraid of going home.

"There is no old turtle shell in the medicinal soup he drank."

Mu Jingchen looked at him aggrievedly, "Didn't you tell me to treat me to a candy?"

"Ah, yes."

Yu Tang took the medicine bowl in his hand, and went to touch the candy in his pocket, but only found two pieces of candy wrappers, and he put the candy jar on Zhen Hui's car.

"I just ate the last one..."

He carefully looked at Mu Jingchen who was frowning in pain, and bit off the candy that was about to melt in his mouth embarrassedly.

"Why don't you wait for me to get the candy jar in the car... Ugh!!"

Yu Tang was embraced by Mu Jingchen and her back fell down.

A row of dense magnolias was planted in front of the barracks, and the lush green leaves covered a few sporadic white orchids. The sweetness that had not yet faded from his mouth amid the overlapping flower shadows was snatched away by Mu Jingchen's kiss.

The fragrance is lingering and full of sweetness.

Mu Jingchen didn't bully him any more, but let go of his hand when he saw it was good, and wiped the water stains from the corner of Yutang's mouth with his thumb,

"Thank you, Teacher Xiaoyu, for your hospitality."

"You...Mu Jingchen, why don't you even let this bit of candy go!"

Yu Tang covered her mouth in panic, her mind turned upside down, and she didn't know what she was talking about at this moment.

"Because it's extra sweet."

Mu Jingchen was amused by his slightly clumsy appearance when he was shy, and rubbed his hair, "Now I feel that my disappearing tongue has returned."

"Obviously it's bitter! You've made it hard for me!"

Yu Tang bit her lip and sued Mu Jingchen angrily, "Don't do this next time, it's too bitter..."

"Can I pretend you're booking my next kiss?"

"Can't!"

Yu Tang was about to reprimand him for something again when she suddenly noticed scarlet blood dripping from Mu Jingchen's nose.

"Mu Jingchen, you... have you had a nosebleed?"

Mu Jingchen obviously also felt the heat coming out of his nose, he was stunned for a moment, and shouted loudly at Zhen Hui who was hiding outside and eavesdropping:

"Zhen Hui! Look at what you've done, you've made it up to me!"

"You, you, you, wipe off the nosebleed first, and don't drip it on the bed."

Yu Tang grabbed a towel and covered Mu Jingchen's face, the two of them were in a mess in the room, while Zhen Hui and the others squatted outside, laughing happily.

"I said that I shouldn't put that ginseng in. My brother is already very angry. Look, he has a nosebleed."

The little cook in charge complained about the humanity of the few of them who came up with ideas.

"You know what a fart. If you get angry, you have to vent your anger. If you want me to say that the medicine tonight should not be missed, just add more sheep and scorpions."

"Come on you guys,"

Zhen Hui tapped their heads,

"Do you know how precious brother-in-law is? According to my opinion, the way brother vents his anger must be to beat you guys violently, not to bully sister-in-law."

"I don't care, I have to go back to the kitchen to cook, and I will make a good meal in a while to welcome my sister-in-law."

"It's time to break up. Teacher Yu is taking care of you here, so let's not make trouble."

Zhen Hui kindly helped them close the doors and windows, and called the other brothers to practice on the field.

"Mu Jingchen, do you feel that your head is burning again?"

Yu Tang held Mu Jingchen's forehead worriedly, and was tossed by Zhen Hui and the others. Mu Jingchen went from catching a cold to a hot cold, and his whole body was terribly hot.

"Can I spit out what I just drank now?"

Mu Jingchen gave a weary wry smile, he didn't know whether it was caused by the medicine or he was really sicker, but his limbs felt weak and the back of his head was more painful.

"I will supervise them to cook the medicine at night,"

Yu Tang helped him change the bed with a thicker quilt, and asked Zhen Hui to send three thermos bottles, "Now all you have to do is sleep, drink water, and detoxify."

"It's not easy for you to come to the camp. I originally planned to take you out after taking a rest."

Mu Jingchen regretted.

"It's not like there's no next chance,"

Yu Tang insisted on pushing him back into the bed, and covered his eyes with his hands, "Master Mu, it's time to close your eyes obediently now."

"Sitting is so tiring, why don't you lie down and rest with me?"

As Mu Jingchen said, he patted the empty seat next to him, and Yu Tang pinched him, screaming in pain.

"If you can't sleep, I'll call Zhen Hui in and ask him to accompany you?"

"No, no need."

Hearing the sound, Mu Jingchen lay very neatly, and quietly reached out his hand from under the heavy cup to grab Yu Tang's clothes, "Sleep now, sleep well."

It turns out he really needs a good night's sleep.

The sleep habits developed by leading troops and suppressing bandits on the mountain all the year round are very bad, almost waking up when there is a slight disturbance. Mu Jingchen usually wakes up five or six times a night, but this time when Yu Tang is by his side, he I slept very peacefully.

So much so that when he woke up, the sun was already setting, and there were bursts of annoying medicinal fragrance from outside the house.

"woke up?"

Yu Tang closed the book in his hand. He had nothing to do in the afternoon. Zhen Hui sent him a few books, saying that they were the things that Mu Jingchen kept with him when he was suppressing the bandits.

The first few books were okay, they were all collections of short poems or prose books, until a booklet with a colorful cover fell out, and four large characters were engraved on it—Golden Powder Marriage.

This is a very popular romance story among girls. Looking at the traces of flipping through it, it should also be his young master Mu's favorite. A boy who reads romance novels.

"Um……"

Mu Jingchen opened his eyes with difficulty. Although his headache had eased, he still had no strength in his body.For a person like him who has hardly ever been sick, the discomfort in his body will be infinitely magnified, which makes people extremely unmotivated.

But he still almost jumped up when he saw the golden marriage in Yu Tang's hand.

"You, what book are you reading? I remember that Zhen Hui likes this book, and I always see him flipping through it."

Mu Jingchen pretended to be careless and began to have 300 taels of silver with Yutang here,

"Soldier men look at what these squishy things look like all day long."

"Yes, yes, men don't bother to read these things. But I heard that the second part of this novel will be published soon, and some people speculate that the heroine will marry the second male..."

"What? They dare?"

Mu Jingchen was furious immediately, "I definitely won't be with the male lead! Didn't the male lead always say that he only regards the heroine as his sister?"

"Mr. Mu also read it?"

Yu Tang blinked slyly, and Mu Jingchen realized that he had been tricked, so he could only cough twice in embarrassment.

"Hey, Zhen Hui likes to talk about it after reading it himself. I've heard a few ears from him."

"Oh--"

Yu Tang let out a long sigh, it sounded like she definitely didn't believe Mu Jingchen's nonsense, but it made Mu Jingchen unable to continue explaining.

"Brother, are you awake?"

Zhen Hui came just in time, he knocked on the door, held the medicine bowl to the window and shook it, "It happened to be hot to drink the medicine, don't worry, I didn't put anything except healing herbs this time, sister-in-law can testify .”

Yu Tang had already given up on letting them not call her "Sister-in-law" and nodded slightly.

Mu Jingchen reluctantly sat up and took the medicine bowl, thinking that the bowl of soup and medicine would be better without those messy things, but who knew that the taste of traditional Chinese medicine became stronger and more bitter.

It's just hard to swallow.

Mu Jingchen looked at Yu Tang with some resistance, Yu Tang and Zhen Hui shook their heads at him together, Zhen Hui even said alarmistly,

"Brother, you must finish drinking, or you will burn into an idiot."

"Zhen Hui, you go out first."

Mu Jingchen waved him away, who was in the way, Zhen Hui feared that he would show his temper and refused to drink, so he worriedly told Yutang to find a way to drink him down.

After Zhen Hui went out hesitantly, Mu Jingchen hooked his hand at Yutang.

Yu Tang leaned over his ear, thinking that Mu Jingchen wanted to discuss with him whether he could pour out the bowl of medicine, but Mu Jingchen almost bit his ear and asked,

"If I drink the medicine obediently, will Teacher Xiaoyu give me any reward?"

"You drink first, then talk..."

Yu Tang wanted to run away, but it was too late, he could only be pulled into Mu Jingchen's arms.

A few minutes later, Zhen Hui, who was standing outside waiting to collect the bowl, saw Yu Tang bring out an empty bowl with red ears, and said in surprise,

"Brother actually drank the medicine so quickly? Teacher Xiaoyu, you have the means!"

"None of my business!"

Yu Tang wiped away the wet traces of medicine at the corner of her mouth, handed out the bowl, and then closed the door with a bang.
