Nice to meet you, Zhu Yuntao

heat.

Why is it so hot? Is it because of the typhoon?Not only was it hot, but the air was also humid, and every breath seemed to carry water vapor. I felt that the sheets under my body were very hot, like burning coals, and it was so soaked in moisture that it was almost sticking to my body.The clothes were damp and the quilt was hot. I tried to turn over to get some air, but I couldn't find a fulcrum to turn over. "Zhi Liu" slipped and almost fell off the bed.Fortunately, I reacted quickly and grabbed the edge of the bed, so I didn't have a "hard landing".

I took a deep breath and reached out to brush aside my wet bangs.

"Zhu Yuntao?" Someone called me.

"Oh, I'm here!" I tried to prop myself up and sit up.

"It's okay, you lie down."

"Oh, good." Actually, I couldn't sit up just now.

"Cover the quilt." He picked up the corner of the quilt that fell on the floor, tucked it to the end of the bed a few times, and touched my forehead again, "Huh? I'm sweating. Are you hot or not? "

"Brother, what do you think?" I asked back dumbfounded.

"Yeah, just cover it less, so I can't kick it on the ground." He smoothly tucked the quilt around my neck again.

"Brother! Please (don't always) take care of me, I know I need a quilt!" I had to explain again, "It's hot and humid today, and I'm hot under my body. I'll take it off and let it dry for a while."

"You play four (just) don't listen to your brother, huh?"

"Ang (hmm), dèi (yes)." I answered one after another.

"What are you 'dèi'!" He punched me through the quilt, "I said you were disobedient, but you said: 'Ang, dèi'!"

"Huh? I didn't hear the last sentence... sorry!"

"All right, all right, I won't hesitate to slap you (I don't even bother to criticize you). Rest, I'll go to Yunzhou to have a look." He stood up and walked out of the house.

"Brother, are you coming back?" I asked.

"Huh?" He turned around and seemed to be taken aback when he heard the question.But soon, he said to me with a smile on his face: "Of course I'm back. My Di Yuntao found it. I have to take a good look. Where did you go? It took you so long to find it." .”

"Brother... I'm sorry." I said, "I made you worry."

"Hey, worry or not. Where the hell have you been?"

"I forgot."

"Lying is not my good brother Zhu Jiadi, tell me, are you going fishing again?"

"Brother, I didn't lie to you, I really forgot! I almost forgot you too."

"You still have the nerve to say it?!" The elder brother wanted to beat me with a wave of his arm, but luckily I quickly added a sentence "Brother, I was wrong, I dare not, from now on I will listen to you for everything", He just dropped his hands.Brother looked at me, picked up the apple that Zhu Yunzhou put on my bed earlier, pulled out the trash can from under the table, sat in front of the table, picked up a knife to peel the apple: "Oh, oh, Zhu Yuntao, you are nervous Come on. I can’t eat you anymore—this apple is not bad, it looks delicious.” He bit off a piece of apple with a “creak” and said, “Well, let’s have a game!”

"..."

"Huh? Look at my dry rope, there is no writing on my face."

"Brother~! I want to (eat) an apple too."

"Ah, come on, this..." He glanced at the apple that had been peeled and bitten in his hand, "Oh! I'm really old and don't remember anything. I was supposed to peel it for you, so what? Let me take a bite first, oh yo!"

"Sure enough, no one can refuse the temptation of Yunzhou's apple..." I said to myself.

"Wait for a while, brother will help you get another one. You lie down, you are not in good health, rest more and do less activity, I'm going to the kitchen."

"Brother!" I suddenly had a strong desire to stop him.

"What's the matter (what's the matter)?" He turned around, "Is there something wrong?"

"Mu Shi." I looked at him and hesitated, "Brother, I miss you."

"Heh--, don't talk about these prostitutes (don't say these are useless)." He glanced at the room disapprovingly, and smiled, "I'll go to Yunzhou to have a look. Just lie down, and it will happen later. Meal (eat)."

"Yuntao! Yuntao?" Someone tugged at my sleeve and shook it, "Wake up, dinner is ready."

"Oh, got it." I rubbed my eyes, "Where's Big Brother?"

"Big brother?" Yunzhou asked blankly, "What big brother?"

"Didn't he say he wanted to see you?" I asked suspiciously.

"Are you dreaming?" Yunzhou gave me a strange look, "How can there be a big brother here?"

"How could it not be possible! Just now my elder brother came over to help me tuck up the corner of the quilt, and then let me have a good rest, saying that he wanted to visit you. Isn't it?"

I tried my best to explain what happened just now, but Yunzhou just smiled and shook his head.He put me back on the bed and explained: "Yuntao, brother and we are not in the same place. Let me tell you something. There are two emergency shelters at home, one is at brother's residence, and the other is here. The eldest brother is at his house with seven brothers, and we are with you."

"How many?"

"Seven," Yunzhou counted with his fingers, "one, two, three...well, eight people including the elder brother. We have sixteen brothers in our family!"

"So much!" I raised my hand and wiped my sweat.

"A lot?" Yunzhou smiled, "It used to be seventeen."

"Then why are there sixteen now?"

"Here, you can ask your elder brother yourself. I'm afraid that after I finish telling you, you dream of strange things again."

"Oh..." Although I didn't quite understand it, I agreed.

Yunzhou continued: "You are just dreaming, thinking wildly. When people fall asleep, the mind is also resting. Too much information will cause chaos."

"Okay. But this dream is real." I said with some regret.

"It's normal, you miss big brother." Yunzhou held my hand, "I didn't expect that you can still remember big brother's appearance, not bad."

"I...Actually, I can't remember." I smiled embarrassedly, "He was in my dream, and he didn't have a clear appearance. But as soon as he walked in and talked to me, I felt that this person should It's my big brother, like I could recognize him."

"Hey, you two." Yunzhou sighed, "Even if you don't remember the appearance, you still have the feeling of brotherhood."

"Yes." I sighed, and opened the diary casually, "It's also fortunate that I still have this habit and write it down every day. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to recall now."

"Third Brother!" Someone shouted outside the door.

"Hey, here we come!" Yunzhou agreed, then turned to me and said, "Yuntao, I'm going first."

"Oh, good."
