This is the first time Yang Fan has seen such a thing as "martial arts" when he traveled here. He saw the leader in black kicked his feet, leaped high on the board of the boat, and stood on their boat in the blink of an eye.
Yang Fan was taken aback, and couldn't control the expression on his face.What Yang Fan saw with his own eyes, which he had only seen on TV or novels before, while Yang Fan was shocked, silently eliminated the last trace of hesitation in his heart.Pei Ningyuan also had the same idea, "Those who know the current affairs are outstanding", Pei Sanshao didn't think this was a shameful thing.
Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Mu turned around and ran away.It's a pity that the boat that Yang Fan and Pei Ningyuan rented was too small, and the place was only so big, there was nowhere to hide.The man in black moved very quickly, and caught up with Liu Mu within a few ups and downs.Seeing that the man in black was about to catch Liu Mu, at this moment, an accident happened.
Lin Mozhu stayed in the room, the boat was not big, and the sound insulation of the room was not very good. When Yang Fan and the others were sitting on the deck drinking, Lin Mozhu could hear their conversation from time to time.Because of Yang Fan's relationship, he couldn't help observing the movement on the deck.When Yang Fan and the others talked with the man in black, Lin Mozhu could occasionally hear a few words clearly. He was puzzled and hesitated whether to go out and have a look.
After hesitating for a while, the worry about Yang Fan still prevailed, Lin Mozhu decided to go out of the room to see what happened.As a result, he had just stepped out of the room and before he took two steps, he saw Liu Mu rushing towards him from the corner.Seeing that they were about to bump into each other, they subconsciously turned around to avoid it.At this moment, the two were too close, and it was impossible to avoid them. Their subconscious actions would only make them lose their center of gravity and fall directly overboard.
The man in black had already caught up with Liu Mu. Seeing this, without thinking, he rushed forward and grabbed Liu Mu's arm, pulling her back. Lin Mozhu was not so lucky, and fell into the water directly.
Yang Fan knew something was wrong when he saw Lin Mozhu's unsteady center of gravity, but he was too far away and there was no time to save him.When he quickly chased after him, Lin Mozhu fell into the icy water with a "plop".At that moment, Yang Fan jumped down without thinking.
"Mo Zhu! Yang Fan!" Pei Ningyuan who followed anxiously stood on the deck of the boat and shouted at them.
Yang Fan jumped into the water subconsciously. When his body fell into the icy river water, his cold face lost all color in an instant.But seeing Lin Mozhu struggling not far away, he swam towards Lin Mozhu regardless of the biting cold all over his body.
Lin Mozhu doesn't know how to swim, at best he can do a few dog crawls.In winter, the river is freezing to the bone, because the snow has just finished, and both sides of the river are still white, and it feels extremely cold to look at.In such cold water, Lin Mozhu's two dog crawls were useless at all, and his body sank directly after falling into the water.
Instinctively fluttering his hands, Lin Mozhu, who was frozen and unconscious, seemed to hear the sound of something falling into the water. In his blurred vision, he seemed to see Yang Fan's familiar handsome face...
When Yang Fan swam to Lin Mozhu's side, Lin Mozhu had lost consciousness and sank into the water.Yang Fan pulled him up from the water in time, and seeing his pale and fragile face, he felt a dull pain in his heart.
With the help of the sailors who arrived, Yang Fan successfully rescued the unconscious Lin Mozhu on board.Pei Ningyuan hurriedly handed over the blankets and quilts that he had already prepared. After Yang Fan quickly wrapped Lin Mozhu up, he didn't care about himself, so he carried him back to his room.
Yang Fan first stripped off Lin Mozhu's wet clothes, stuffed them into the bed, and then began to change the clothes on his body.The weather is really cold. After coming out of the river, their wet clothes have started to freeze, and their thick cotton clothes have become stiff, making them feel cold.Putting on his underwear and wrapping himself in a thick quilt, Yang Fan was still shivering from the cold even though three charcoal basins had been burned in the room.
After quickly checking Xialin Mozhu's condition, he found that he didn't drink much water and was unconscious mainly because of the cold, so Yang Fan heaved a sigh of relief.
Then Pei Ningyuan, who followed into the house, brought them warm ginger soup and Tang Pozi.Looking at Lin Mo Zhu who was completely bloodless and unconscious, he couldn't help but worry: "Is Mo Zhu okay?"
Yang Fan frowned, drank the ginger soup in one gulp, and then fed another bowl to Lin Mozhu.
Lin Mozhu's body is not strong enough, how can he stand falling into the water in winter?As for the few mouthfuls of river water he drank, it was not a problem. What Yang Fan was worried about was that Lin Mo Zhu would get hot after being exposed to the cold.
"It's fine for now, but I'm worried...Ziming, how long will it take to arrive in Xuancheng?"
"I don't know if I will be able to arrive tomorrow." Originally, the plan was to arrive at Xuancheng tomorrow, but because of the snow, the boat drove slowly, so it was uncertain.
Hearing this, Yang Fan sighed, and said, "Zi Ming, talk to Boss Fu, and put it all in the Ming Dynasty."
Arrive in Xuancheng before dark. After a pause, he asked, "Where is that Liu Mu?" "
For the culprit who caused Lin Mozhu to fall into the water, Yang Fan hated Liu Mu at this time, and at the same time regretted why he agreed to let her stay on the boat.
Pei Ningyuan was very helpless when he mentioned this girl who caused a series of troubles: "Miss Liu was taken away after making a fuss for a while. They wanted to apologize in person, but I refused."
The identity of that group of people is not simple, it is better to keep as little contact as possible.Moreover, Pei Ningyuan knew that Yang Fan probably didn't have a good impression of them at this time, and he probably wouldn't have a good face when they met. It would be bad if they offended the other party.So Pei Ningyuan simply refused because Yang Fan and Lin Mozhu were unwell.
Yang Fan nodded, indicating that he understood.Just as I was talking, there was a knock on the door: "Master Pei, that old man said he wanted to see you."
"Okay, I'll come right away." Pei Ningyuan stood up, talked to Yang Fan, and went out.Pei Ningyuan went out for about a cup of tea and came back with a tray in his hand.
"Their boat left, saying it was an apology for Xiao Mo Zhu." As he spoke, Pei Ningyuan pulled back the brocade covering the tray, only to see a few golden nuggets and a brocade box neatly stacked on the tray .
"50 taels of gold and a 100-year-old ginseng is quite generous." Pei Ningyuan said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.One tael of gold and ten taels of silver, 50 taels of gold equals 500 taels of silver.And ginseng is even more valuable. Centuries-old ginseng was priceless in the market in ancient times. Usually, it could only be bought in medicine halls in big cities. The price of this whole stick can be sold for 500 taels in the capital.
Yang Fan doesn't pay much attention to this point of gold, but ginseng is not easy to buy, and there are only two century-old ginseng in his hand.This time Lin Mozhu fell into the water, he might have to use it, so although Yang Fan didn't want their things very much, he still let Pei Ningyuan put it down.
Yang Fan's worry finally came true, and Lin Mozhu started to have a fever not long after.The conditions on the boat were poor and herbal medicines were scarce, so Yang Fan could only use earthen methods for ice packs.Fortunately, it was winter, and the last thing they needed was ice water.
At this time, the merchant ship was in a position where there were no villages or shops in front of it, and the next port was Xuancheng. There were a few small villages and towns along the way, but the medical conditions in these villages and towns were poor, and some were far away from the river bank.Therefore, Yang Fan and Pei Ningyuan decided to speed up and rush to Xuancheng after discussing, and then find a doctor to see Lin Mozhu.
For this reason, the merchant ship decided to take the risk of sailing at night.It was also their luck that there were few clouds in the sky at night and the moonlight was bright, which was convenient for them.
While the crew was carefully controlling the merchant ship's continuous advancement, Yang Fan stayed in the house to take care of Lin Mozhu.After icing, Lin Mozhu's fever finally subsided a little in the evening.
During the period, Lin Mozhu woke up once, but his head was burning and confused, he couldn't distinguish dream from reality, and his consciousness was still in a muddy state.Yang Fan took this opportunity to feed him some porridge and some warm water.
The boat swayed and the night deepened.Yang Fan rejected Pei Ningyuan, who wanted to replace him, and sat silently by the bed, looking at Lin Mozhu, who was blushing.Outside the boat, there was the sound of gurgling water and the howling of animals from time to time; inside the room, there were only the occasional crackling of the charcoal fire and the breathing of the two.In such a quiet space, Yang Fan looked straight at Lin Mozhu's delicate face by candlelight, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance deep in his soul.
He originally thought that he just regarded the child as his younger brother, but Lin Mozhu's accident made him realize the fact that he cared about Lin Mozhu more than he thought.
The moment he saw Lin Mozhu fall into the river, he completely lost the ability to think and acted entirely on his body's instincts.He rushed over quickly, jumped into the water, and swam desperately towards the child.
His eyes are only on the young man struggling in the water, he is the only one in his heart and eyes, and his only belief is - to save him!
After he finally grasped the sinking Lin Mozhu with both hands, and felt his breath clearly, his heart seemed to resume beating again, and the whole world came alive again.At this moment, he was sitting here, looking at Lin Mozhu who was in a coma without moving. As long as he thought of the previous scene, Yang Fan felt afraid for a while.
He couldn't imagine what would happen if he didn't rescue Lin Mozhu in time?
As long as he thought of this possibility, his heart ached and he couldn't breathe.
Yang Fan couldn't help wondering, if it was just a relative, would he care so much, even more than his own life?

No.20—Chapter Sick
Lin Mozhu was not unconscious all the time. Although he was in a coma most of the time, he still woke up twice during the period.But because of the high fever, consciousness is not very clear.
In a daze, he saw a person sitting by the bed in the dim candlelight.Although his head was dizzy, his vision was blurred, and the scene he saw might not be transmitted to his mind correctly, but Lin Mozhu subconsciously felt very safe.
In the middle of the night, Lin Mozhu woke up again.This time, because of the high fever subsided, my head was much clearer.First is the painful head, then the thirsty mouth and the limbs that can't lift a little strength, and finally the scene that can be seen.
In his gradually clear vision, Lin Mozhu saw Yang Fan who was wrapped in a thick quilt and leaning on the chair motionless.Under the dim candlelight, only the facial features of the person can be vaguely seen.I saw Yang Fan closed his eyes, as if he was asleep
Lin Mozhu took a closer look, and found that he still seemed to be frowning—is it because sitting up and sleeping is uncomfortable?Thinking of this possibility, Lin Mozhu's heart ached, and he instinctively wanted to ask Yang Fan to rest:
"Brother Yang..."
— Opening his voice, Lin Mozhu was startled by his own voice.What he thought was the usual volume, turned out to be as quiet as a mosquito, and the voice was very hoarse and unpleasant.
Although Lin Mozhu's movement was very small, Yang Fan hadn't slept soundly while sitting, and woke up when he noticed the movement while he was half asleep.Opening his eyes and seeing Lin Mozhu awake, Yang Fan immediately showed a happy smile: "Are you awake? Do you want some water?"
Although he doesn't have much experience in taking care of others, Yang Fan still knows that patients should drink plenty of water.The water in the pot had been boiled before, and Yang Fan put it on the brazier to warm it up a little, and then poured out a bowl to feed Lin Mozhu.
Lin Mozhu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't have much strength in his body at this time, and on the other hand, he was looking forward to Yang Fan personally feeding him water, so he finally asked Yang Fan to feed him a bowl of warm water with a blushing face.
"Do you want more?" Facing the sick Lin Mozhu, Yang Fan's attitude was extremely gentle, his voice was much softer than usual, and he took care of him very patiently and carefully.
Lin Mozhu's heart was slightly sweet, and he blushed and shook his head.A bowl of warm water relieved the thirst in the throat and mouth, and the whole person seemed to come alive.It's just that his body is still weak, so he can only rely on Yang Fan's support to lie down again.
"Brother Yang...I'm much better, go and rest..."Although Lin Mozhu felt attached to Yang Fan's company, he was even more reluctant to let Yang Fan just sit here all night.
"It's okay, it will be dawn in about an hour or so, and I will accompany you again." Lin Mozhu's condition is not stable yet, how can he rest assured?
Knowing that Yang Fan is worried about him, and also knowing that Yang Fan's decisions can rarely be changed, Lin Mozhu can only retreat after thinking about it: "Then you also come up to sleep for a while... how can you rest while sitting like this?" ?,,
Although Lin Mozhu made such a proposal, the starting point was that he was really reluctant to let Yang Fan just sit and accompany him all night in such a cold night, but it is undeniable that there are still some "unspeakable" factors.
I don't know if it was because of the fever, but Lin Mozhu felt that his palms were wet.
Although Lin Mozhu's proposal took Yang Fan a little by surprise, it was the best proposal in every respect.It was impossible for him to leave the sick Lin Mozhu to rest by himself.And sitting like this for a long time is really uncomfortable, and there are still two or three hours before dawn, so it is best to have a bed to sleep for a while.
Therefore, Yang Fan nodded without hesitation: "Okay, then I will squeeze with you.
The quilt is ready-made - it was wrapped around her body before, Lin Mozhu moved a little into the bed,
Yang Fan hugged his quilt and slept outside.Because Lin Mozhu was thin, the bed with him was more spacious than when he slept with Pei Ningyuan.Yang Fan straightened his legs, and covered himself with a warm quilt, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—as expected, lying down is the most comfortable way to sleep.
"Call me if you feel uncomfortable, you know?" He asked Lin Mozhu again worriedly, and after getting his reassurance, Yang Fan closed his eyes.
It was late at night, and Yang Fan barely slept in the first half of the night, but now he was indeed a little sleepy, and he fell asleep not long after lying down.And Lin Mozhu opened his eyes not long after pretending to fall asleep, and then stared blankly at the handsome face who was close at hand.
It had been a long time since he had seen Yang Fan's face so closely.In two years, the last trace of immaturity on Yang Fan's face disappeared. At this time, he was full of maturity and stability.Handsome face, the lines have the masculine fortitude, and the facial features are very attractive.In Lushui County, how many women who are in the boudoir are
He fell in love with him, and he was looking forward to marrying into the Yang family.
Yang Fan like this seems to be a person in two worlds with his tiny self.Lin Mozhu knew that he was not good enough for him, but he still fell into the quagmire of feelings uncontrollably, unable and unwilling to get out.
This ulterior feeling was buried deep in his heart, and as time went by, not only did it not fade, but it got deeper and deeper, and his desire for Yang Fan became stronger and stronger.Without looking inside, Lin Mozhu could hear a cry from his heart that could not be ignored - he wanted to possess the person in front of him, completely possessed, it belonged only to him, and no one could take it away!
He couldn't tolerate others coveting Yang Fan, not at all, he would wish to cut that person alive!Even if Yang Fan was gentler when talking to someone, he still felt uncomfortable.
Even for Pei Ningyuan, every time he saw Yang Fan chatting and laughing with him, Lin Mozhu felt extremely glaring, and even hoped that this person would disappear from this world and never appear in front of Yang Fan again.
Lin Mozhu knew that such thinking was wrong, but he couldn't control his heart.With such painful suppression of emotions on the verge of eruption in his heart, Lin Mozhu didn't know when he would lose control and go crazy.
But at this moment, looking at Yang Fan's peaceful sleeping face at such a close distance, Lin Mozhu suddenly felt that all the pain and entanglement had dissipated.Thinking of Yang Fan jumping into the river to save him without hesitation, thinking of Yang Fan staying up all night to take care of him, my heart felt sweet and satisfied, but also felt a sense of security.
Because he finally understands that maybe Yang Fan doesn't love him, but he definitely has him in Yang Fan's heart, and he occupies a very important position.So he still has time and opportunity.Thinking of a certain possibility, Lin Mozhu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he was clearly ill and very uncomfortable.
Of course, Lin Mozhu also knew that there would be another possibility, but he didn't dare to think about it now, nor was he willing to think about it.Even though he knew very well that the illusion of self-deception was only temporary and that the dream would be shattered sooner or later, he didn't want to wake up from the dream too soon.
Now, let him indulge once...
With a sweet smile on his pale face, Lin Mozhu slowly sank into a sweet dream.
Because he was thinking about Lin Mozhu in his heart, Yang Fan slept very lightly, and he woke up soon after the sky turned white.After sleeping for a few hours, he was really refreshed, but his good mood quickly disappeared - Lin Mozhu was on fire again.
This time, the ice pack only stopped Lin Mozhu's heat from increasing, and it didn't have a cooling effect.Yang Fan understood that he should be sent to see a doctor as soon as possible, because the fever is difficult to subside just by applying ice compresses without taking medicine.However, their merchant ships are still some distance away from Xuancheng, and it is uncertain whether they can arrive before the city gate is closed today.So Yang Fan could only be anxious.
Fortunately, their luck was not too bad, the weather was not bad today, the merchant ship sailed smoothly all the way, and finally arrived at Xuancheng Wharf in Youshi.Hurrying to send Lin Mozhu to the doctor, as soon as the boat landed, Yang Fan hurriedly took Lin Mozhu ashore, rented a carriage and headed straight for Xuancheng.
The pier is very close to Xuancheng, and it took a little effort to enter the city.The coachman was from Xuancheng and was very familiar with the city. He took Yang Fan's generous reward and dutifully sent them to the best medical center in the city.
The doctor in the clinic was a skinny old man with a gray beard, and he took the pulse of Lin Mozhu, who was still in a coma, in a slow manner.The whole process made Yang Fan anxious, and he didn't dare to urge him, because he was afraid that the old doctor would not give Lin Mozhu a good medical treatment if he became angry.
Then, Yang Fan took Lin Mozhu to find an inn to live in, and at the same time, he didn't forget to send a letter to Pei Ningyuan at the pier.Pei Ningyuan also stayed in Kezhao for one night, and Qichen returned to Lushui County the next morning.
This was discussed between him and Yang Fan the day before.After arriving in Xuancheng, returning to Xiaoshui County needs to take a horse-drawn carriage, which is very hard in the winter.Even if Lin Mozhu's fever subsides, his frail body will obviously find it difficult to adapt to the next journey.So Yang Fan decided to stay and take care of Lin Mozhu himself, and let Pei Ningyuan take most of the luggage back to Lushui County first, and report to his family that he was safe.
It is said that "sickness comes like a mountain fall, and sickness goes like a silk thread", Lin Mozhu fell into the water this time and hurt his body, it is not so easy to recover.Yang Fan originally wanted to return to Lushui County when he got better, because he believed in Liu Yizheng's medical skills more.It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes, Lin Mozhu's condition has been repeated, and the fever has not completely subsided as Yang Fan expected.

Yang Fan was taken aback, and couldn't control the expression on his face.What Yang Fan saw with his own eyes, which he had only seen on TV or novels before, while Yang Fan was shocked, silently eliminated the last trace of hesitation in his heart.Pei Ningyuan also had the same idea, "Those who know the current affairs are outstanding", Pei Sanshao didn't think this was a shameful thing.
Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Mu turned around and ran away.It's a pity that the boat that Yang Fan and Pei Ningyuan rented was too small, and the place was only so big, there was nowhere to hide.The man in black moved very quickly, and caught up with Liu Mu within a few ups and downs.Seeing that the man in black was about to catch Liu Mu, at this moment, an accident happened.
Lin Mozhu stayed in the room, the boat was not big, and the sound insulation of the room was not very good.

"Mo Zhu! Yang Fan!" Pei Ningyuan who followed anxiously stood on the deck of the boat and shouted at them.
Yang Fan jumped into the water subconsciously. When his body fell into the icy river water, his cold face lost all color in an instant.But seeing Lin Mozhu struggling not far away, he swam towards Lin Mozhu regardless of the biting cold all over his body.

Lin Mozhu's body is not strong enough, how can he stand falling into the water in winter?As for the few mouthfuls of river water he drank, it was not a problem. What Yang Fan was worried about was that Lin Mo Zhu would get hot after being exposed to the cold.

"Their boat left, saying it was an apology for Xiao Mo Zhu." As he spoke, Pei Ningyuan pulled back the brocade covering the tray, only to see a few golden nuggets and a brocade box neatly stacked on the tray .
"50 taels of gold and a 100-year-old ginseng is quite generous." Pei Ningyuan said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.One tael of gold and ten taels of silver, 50 taels of gold equals 500 taels of silver.And ginseng is even more valuable.

No.20—Chapter Sick
Lin Mozhu was not unconscious all the time. Although he was in a coma most of the time, he still woke up twice during the period.But because of the high fever, consciousness is not very clear.
In a daze, he saw a person sitting by the bed in the dim candlelight.Although his head was dizzy, his vision was blurred, and the scene he saw might not be transmitted to his mind correctly, but Lin Mozhu subconsciously felt very safe.
In the middle of the night, Lin Mozhu woke up again.This time, because of the high fever subsided, my head was much clearer.First is the painful head, then the thirsty mouth and the limbs that can't lift a little strength, and finally the scene that can be seen.
In his gradually clear vision, Lin Mozhu saw Yang Fan who was wrapped in a thick quilt and leaning on the chair motionless.Under the dim candlelight, only the facial features of the person can be vaguely seen.I saw Yang Fan closed his eyes, as if he was asleep
Lin Mozhu took a closer look, and found that he still seemed to be frowning—is it because sitting up and sleeping is uncomfortable?Thinking of this possibility, Lin Mozhu's heart ached, and he instinctively wanted to ask Yang Fan to rest:
"Brother Yang..."
— Opening his voice, Lin Mozhu was startled by his own voice.What he thought was the usual volume, turned out to be as quiet as a mosquito, and the voice was very hoarse and unpleasant.
Although Lin Mozhu's movement was very small, Yang Fan hadn't slept soundly while sitting, and woke up when he noticed the movement while he was half asleep.Opening his eyes and seeing Lin Mozhu awake, Yang Fan immediately showed a happy smile: "Are you awake? Do you want some water?"

"Do you want more?" Facing the sick Lin Mozhu, Yang Fan's attitude was extremely gentle, his voice was much softer than usual, and he took care of him very patiently and carefully.
Lin Mozhu's heart was slightly sweet, and he blushed and shook his head.A bowl of warm water relieved the thirst in the throat and mouth, and the whole person seemed to come alive.It's just that his body is still weak, so he can only rely on Yang Fan's support to lie down again.
"Brother Yang...I'm much better, go and rest..."Although Lin Mozhu felt attached to Yang Fan's company, he was even more reluctant to let Yang Fan just sit here all night.
"It's okay, it will be dawn in about an hour or so, and I will accompany you again." Lin Mozhu's condition is not stable yet, how can he rest assured?
Knowing that Yang Fan is worried about him, and also knowing that Yang Fan's decisions can rarely be changed, Lin Mozhu can only retreat after thinking about it: "Then you also come up to sleep for a while... how can you rest while sitting like this?" ?,,
Although Lin Mozhu made such a proposal, the starting point was that he was really reluctant to let Yang Fan just sit and accompany him all night in such a cold night, but it is undeniable that there are still some "unspeakable" factors.
I don't know if it was because of the fever, but Lin Mozhu felt that his palms were wet.
Although Lin Mozhu's proposal took Yang Fan a little by surprise, it was the best proposal in every respect.It was impossible for him to leave the sick Lin Mozhu to rest by himself.And sitting like this for a long time is really uncomfortable, and there are still two or three hours before dawn, so it is best to have a bed to sleep for a while.
Therefore, Yang Fan nodded without hesitation: "Okay, then I will squeeze with you.
The quilt is ready-made - it was wrapped around her body before, Lin Mozhu moved a little into the bed,
Yang Fan hugged his quilt and slept outside.Because Lin Mozhu was thin, the bed with him was more spacious than when he slept with Pei Ningyuan.Yang Fan straightened his legs, and covered himself with a warm quilt, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—as expected, lying down is the most comfortable way to sleep.
"Call me if you feel uncomfortable, you know?" He asked Lin Mozhu again worriedly, and after getting his reassurance, Yang Fan closed his eyes.
It was late at night, and Yang Fan barely slept in the first half of the night, but now he was indeed a little sleepy, and he fell asleep not long after lying down.And Lin Mozhu opened his eyes not long after pretending to fall asleep, and then stared blankly at the handsome face who was close at hand.
It had been a long time since he had seen Yang Fan's face so closely.In two years, the last trace of immaturity on Yang Fan's face disappeared. At this time, he was full of maturity and stability.Handsome face, the lines have the masculine fortitude, and the facial features are very attractive.In Lushui County, how many women who are in the boudoir are
He fell in love with him, and he was looking forward to marrying into the Yang family.
Yang Fan like this seems to be a person in two worlds with his tiny self.Lin Mozhu knew that he was not good enough for him, but he still fell into the quagmire of feelings uncontrollably, unable and unwilling to get out.
This ulterior feeling was buried deep in his heart, and as time went by, not only did it not fade, but it got deeper and deeper, and his desire for Yang Fan became stronger and stronger.Without looking inside, Lin Mozhu could hear a cry from his heart that could not be ignored - he wanted to possess the person in front of him, completely possessed, it belonged only to him, and no one could take it away!
He couldn't tolerate others coveting Yang Fan, not at all, he would wish to cut that person alive!Even if Yang Fan was gentler when talking to someone, he still felt uncomfortable.
Even for Pei Ningyuan, every time he saw Yang Fan chatting and laughing with him, Lin Mozhu felt extremely glaring, and even hoped that this person would disappear from this world and never appear in front of Yang Fan again.
Lin Mozhu knew that such thinking was wrong, but he couldn't control his heart.With such painful suppression of emotions on the verge of eruption in his heart, Lin Mozhu didn't know when he would lose control and go crazy.
But at this moment, looking at Yang Fan's peaceful sleeping face at such a close distance, Lin Mozhu suddenly felt that all the pain and entanglement had dissipated.Thinking of Yang Fan jumping into the river to save him without hesitation, thinking of Yang Fan staying up all night to take care of him, my heart felt sweet and satisfied, but also felt a sense of security.
Because he finally understands that maybe Yang Fan doesn't love him, but he definitely has him in Yang Fan's heart, and he occupies a very important position.So he still has time and opportunity.Thinking of a certain possibility, Lin Mozhu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he was clearly ill and very uncomfortable.
Of course, Lin Mozhu also knew that there would be another possibility, but he didn't dare to think about it now, nor was he willing to think about it.Even though he knew very well that the illusion of self-deception was only temporary and that the dream would be shattered sooner or later, he didn't want to wake up from the dream too soon.
Now, let him indulge once...
With a sweet smile on his pale face, Lin Mozhu slowly sank into a sweet dream.
Because he was thinking about Lin Mozhu in his heart, Yang Fan slept very lightly, and he woke up soon after the sky turned white.After sleeping for a few hours, he was really refreshed, but his good mood quickly disappeared - Lin Mozhu was on fire again.
This time, the ice pack only stopped Lin Mozhu's heat from increasing, and it didn't have a cooling effect.Yang Fan understood that he should be sent to see a doctor as soon as possible, because the fever is difficult to subside just by applying ice compresses without taking medicine.However, their merchant ships are still some distance away from Xuancheng, and it is uncertain whether they can arrive before the city gate is closed today.So Yang Fan could only be anxious.
Fortunately, their luck was not too bad, the weather was not bad today, the merchant ship sailed smoothly all the way, and finally arrived at Xuancheng Wharf in Youshi.Hurrying to send Lin Mozhu to the doctor, as soon as the boat landed, Yang Fan hurriedly took Lin Mozhu ashore, rented a carriage and headed straight for Xuancheng.
The pier is very close to Xuancheng, and it took a little effort to enter the city.The coachman was from Xuancheng and was very familiar with the city. He took Yang Fan's generous reward and dutifully sent them to the best medical center in the city.
The doctor in the clinic was a skinny old man with a gray beard, and he took the pulse of Lin Mozhu, who was still in a coma, in a slow manner.The whole process made Yang Fan anxious, and he didn't dare to urge him, because he was afraid that the old doctor would not give Lin Mozhu a good medical treatment if he became angry.
Then, Yang Fan took Lin Mozhu to find an inn to live in, and at the same time, he didn't forget to send a letter to Pei Ningyuan at the pier.Pei Ningyuan also stayed in Kezhao for one night, and Qichen returned to Lushui County the next morning.
This was discussed between him and Yang Fan the day before.After arriving in Xuancheng, returning to Xiaoshui County needs to take a horse-drawn carriage, which is very hard in the winter.Even if Lin Mozhu's fever subsides, his frail body will obviously find it difficult to adapt to the next journey.So Yang Fan decided to stay and take care of Lin Mozhu himself, and let Pei Ningyuan take most of the luggage back to Lushui County first, and report to his family that he was safe.
It is said that "sickness comes like a mountain fall, and sickness goes like a silk thread", Lin Mozhu fell into the water this time and hurt his body, it is not so easy to recover.Yang Fan originally wanted to return to Lushui County when he got better, because he believed in Liu Yizheng's medical skills more.It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes, Lin Mozhu's condition has been repeated, and the fever has not completely subsided as Yang Fan expected.
