Qinghe Pastoral

It was already evening when Lin Mu woke up again. After sleeping, he felt weaker and weaker, with a bitter taste in his mouth, which made him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

The family still needs to be taken care of. He endured the discomfort and got up. The moment he stood up, he felt dizzy. Fortunately, he grabbed the bedpost in time, and after a while, he walked out of the house.

After feeding the captured ones, Lin Mu didn't eat anything at noon, and his stomach was already empty, but he had no appetite at the moment. He drank another bowl of the medicine he had boiled at noon, and was about to continue to rest when he heard someone knocking outside the house. He walked towards the door with doubts.

Lin Mu was very surprised when he opened the door. It was Ji Ruixiu who came.Ji Ruixiu didn't pay much attention to Lin Mu's surprise, what he cared more about at the moment was Lin Mu's abnormal expression and listless spirit.

"What's the matter with you, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, just a little cold."

Lin Mu felt dizzy, why did he feel that this man's eyes were full of worry.

"Seeing that you like to read books, I have a lot of story books and travel notes for you at home, so let's go in first."

Leading people into the main room, Ji Ruixiu put down the things in his hand, and asked Lin Mu if he had taken medicine. Although Lin Mu was surprised that Ji Ruixiu treated him very well, he still answered them one by one.

"Go and lie down first, I have good pills at home, I'll get them."

"Don't bother, I've taken the medicine, and I should be fine after a night's sleep."

Ji Ruixiu ignored Lin Mu's evasion, and told Lin Mu to lie down on the bed before leaving without looking back.When people are sick, they are always more fragile than usual. Seeing Ji Ruixiu like this, Lin Mu had mixed feelings for a moment.

He was only five or six years old when he came to the Lin family. After waking up, he was terrified by the blank memory and the unfamiliar environment. It was Xu Xiuqin who cared for him with her love. For so many years, Xu Xiuqin had not been able to bear children, which caused this situation. All the culprits can hurt again and again without any remorse. How can such a relative not be chilling?Fortunately, Lin Sheng has always taken good care of Xu Xiuqin, otherwise Xu Xiuqin would have been in such pain.

It's good to go to uncle's house for a few more days, every time his mother returns to her mother's house, she is always happy.Xu Xiuqin's parents left early, and her elder brother was ten years older than her. Xu Xiuqin was raised by her brother and sister-in-law, so they have a deep relationship.

Xu Xiuqin's elder brother is called Xu Qin, he is a hot-tempered and protective person. Before the Lin family separated, no matter how much wronged Xu Xiuqin suffered, she would report good news to her natal family but not bad news. I can't hide it.Xu Qin was so angry that he wanted the two parties to reconcile. After hearing Lin Sheng say that he had exhausted his good words during that time, and separated again, Xu Qin's heart was relieved.

Thinking about these annoying things, the sky outside is getting darker and darker, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist. It is estimated that it will be rainy these few days.

When it was getting dark, Ji Ruixiu came, still holding a food box in his hand, and he didn't know what was in it.

"I cooked a bowl of porridge for you. You will feel better if you drink a bowl of medicine."

He and Ji Ruixiu had only known each other for a few days, but they helped him over and over again. Their identities were vastly different, and he didn't know if he would have the chance to repay him, but he would always remember it in his heart, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely repay him.

The porridge with lean meat and vegetables was delicious. Although he didn't have a good appetite, Lin Mu still drank the porridge.

After waiting for a while, Ji Ruixiu took out a brocade box, which contained several dark green pills, which looked very delicate.Lin Mu had never seen such a pill before, but he was fascinated by it for a while.

"I bought this from them when I went to Great Britain. This medicine is easy to take and works quickly." After speaking, he took out two pills from the box and gave Lin Mu the lid on the brocade box.

The two of them talked without saying a word, especially Lin Mu was very curious about the places where Ji Ruixiu went to business. From Ji Ruixiu's mouth, he knew that there are so many magical places in this world. When will he have the chance to go? Take a look.

Ji Ruixiu's voice was as cold as his own, but it sounded so soft to Lin Mu's ears. Gradually, he felt that the voice was getting farther and farther away from him.

That night, Lin Mu didn't sleep well. He felt hot and cold from time to time, but his head was groggy, and his eyelids were too heavy to open. Fortunately, he felt better in the second half of the night, feeling a warm current surrounding him all the time. Being next to him made him feel extra at ease.

When he woke up the next day, Lin Mu's body was sticky, it was raining outside, and there was no one in the room.When Ji Ruixiu went back, he didn't know last night.

The medicine Ji Ruixiu gave was very effective. After a night, apart from some weakness, there was no discomfort at all.

After suffering from a minor illness and laying down for another day, his feet felt light when he stepped on the ground, he went out of the house, only to see Lin Zi'an coming over with an oil-paper umbrella, the corners of his gray clothes were soaked by the rain, but he didn't feel any pain at all. Not embarrassed.

Lin Mu called Brother An, seeing that the rain was getting heavier, he hurriedly invited him into the house.When it rains, the house is very cold. Lin Mu thought that the rain would not stop for a while, so he thought about sending out a carbon basin.

"This is something I brought for you. I wanted to bring it to you yesterday, but it was already late when I came back from my natal home, so I didn't come here."

Parents' Festival is a sacred and solemn day in the Dayu Dynasty. Any married daughter who is not far away will go back to her natal family to visit her ancestors' graves. Liu Yunqiao's natal family is closer to the town and is a relatively wealthy village. Bullying Xu Xiuqin was not only hinted by Liu Guilian overtly or secretly, it was also related to her feeling superior to others.

"Brother An, you are spending money again."

Lin Mu felt a little embarrassed, the relationship between the two was very good, but every time he came back from Zhoufu, Lin Zian would take him here and there, and the relationship between the two families was so embarrassing, he could imagine Liu Guilian and Liu Yunqiao complaining.But no matter what Lin Mu said, every time Lin Zian was unshakable.

"Why do you have to be so out of touch? Besides, I earned all the money myself, and it has nothing to do with my family. The elders have grievances, but we don't. Why do I hear that your voice is not right?"

"It's okay, I was a little dizzy yesterday, but I'm fine today."

Lin Zian could write well, and the rich people gathered in Yong'anzhou. Two years ago, he basically didn't take money from his family. But even so, it's embarrassing to do it once or twice for friendship.

"Is it really all right?" Seeing that Lin Zian was not at ease, Lin Mu was moved and assured him again and again that he would not have to worry.

The two chatted for a while, Lin Zian just needed to study hard, and the academy only gave them two days to study, and was afraid that the mountain road would be difficult in rainy days, so they decided to leave home early.Lin Mu sent him to the door of the house. Before leaving, Lin Zian touched Lin Mu's head, and told him to take care of himself, and told him not to care too much about the rumors of the old house. Lin Mu agreed one by one.

After sending Lin Zian away, Lin Mu went into the stove and lit the fire, and fed the poultry carefully. Lin Zian brought a lot of snacks. Lin Mu felt his stomach was empty, so he ate some padding first.

"Why are you up?" Lin Mu was taken aback by the sudden voice, but seeing Ji Ruixiu walking in with a food box in his hand, Lin Mu couldn't help being surprised.

"I'm much better." Lin Mu hurriedly replied.Ji Ruixiu put the food box on the table, glanced at the cake that Lin Mu was opening, said nothing, approached Lin Mu again, raised his hand to touch Lin Mu's forehead, and then seemed to put his hand down in peace.

"It's not burning, let's eat something first." After speaking, he took out the food box, a bowl of minced meat egg custard and two steamed soft buns, Lin Mu thought of Ji Ruixiu's care for him, Seeing him sincerely thank you, he also knew that he was weak, but he would keep this kindness in his heart and hoped to repay it one day.

"It's delicious, who made it?" The egg custard is tender and refreshing, the steamed stuffed bun is soft but not greasy, and the mouth is fragrant. It can't be Ji Ruixiu who made it. Lin Mu felt that his idea was really unreliable.

"I have been wandering away for several years, and now I am not leaving when I come back. A few days ago, I went to the county to buy a few servants and came back."

Probably really hungry, Lin Mu ate all the food on the table, washed the tableware and put them back into the food box. It was raining outside, and Ji Ruixiu seemed to have no intention of leaving. Mu Bian sent out a carbon basin and put it in the main room, and the two chatted a few sentences.

The rain outside is still pattering down, but the house is very warm. Listening to what he has seen and heard outside the past few years, some Lin Mu has never heard of it. He can't help but marvel at the wonder of this vast world. Looking at Ji Ruixiu, his eyes are full of admiration, and he is fascinated by it. .

"We are also familiar now. Don't call me Young Master Ji in the future. My father has already resigned from office, and the Ji family is just an ordinary family."

Although the Ji family has been away from the imperial court for many years, Lin Mu believes that the Ji family still has a complicated network of relationships, which ordinary people do not have.Although he didn't agree with Ji Ruixiu's words, but since they met, Ji Ruixiu has kept all kinds of things about him in his heart, especially the companionship during his illness these two days has made him a little closer.

"Then I'll call you Brother Ji from now on?"

The most attractive thing about Lin Mu is his pair of pure but agile eyes. When Ji Ruixiu saw those eyes staring at him, they were full of sincerity and joy. His face covered with frost all the year round was rarely filled with joy. nodded.

"Who was that man just now?"

Through the rain curtain, Ji Ruixiu couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he was not dressed like an ordinary villager, and he had been away from the village for too long, so many people in the village didn't recognize him.

"That's the eldest son of the second uncle's family in the old house. Have you met him?"

"No, I saw it from a distance."

"It's strange to say that the old house doesn't like me and my mother, but my cousin treats me very well. He was selected as a scholar two years ago, and he is studying in Zhoufu Academy. He will visit me every time he comes back."

After listening to Lin Mu's explanation, Ji Ruixiu nodded to show that he understood, and the two of them didn't get entangled in this matter. He didn't want to ask Ji Ruixiu, who didn't care, and Lin Mu didn't want to talk about the old house. .

Ji Ruixiu has been traveling for the past few years, the places he has been to, the strange people and strange things he has seen in three days. Lin Mu is very interested in this, and Ji Ruixiu also patiently tells him about it. Seeing him sometimes The expression of surprise and sometimes joy became softer and softer, and the tenderness in those eyes could hardly be contained.

Ji Ruixiu was cold by nature. In those few years his father was involved in disputes over the interests of the imperial court.Later, the court subsided, his father could have been promoted, and Ji Ruixiu was famous at such a young age, but the family still decided to stay away from the court.That place that can bring supreme wealth and honor has turned into a death talisman at some point.

After a few years of peaceful life in the village, his parents passed away one after another, making Ji Ruixiu's temper even colder.The people he has met over the years have experienced things, so how can he be shocked by seeing this person in front of him.He still remembers that before his mother passed away, he told him that there would always be someone he cared about in this world. He didn't take it seriously before, but now he had to believe it, and he loved it.

On that day, the young man had a clear voice and small eyes that seemed to be triumphant. No one noticed him behind the tree. However, when he saw this young man for the first time, he entered his life so deeply. There was nothing to be confused about. He is his sweetheart, he has the patience and confidence to make the young man in front of him completely his own.

The clouds and mist in the mountains are still rolling. In this weather, most people stay at home. At this moment, the two of them are like family members. Beside the warm charcoal brazier, one speaks patiently while the other listens carefully. Everything has nothing to do with it. It's urgent.
