Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

At night, Qiu Mu changed into her pajamas and went to the sink in the bathroom to fetch water.The toothpaste was squeezed out, and the water glass was placed under the faucet, but the water could not come out after a long time.

"..."

Habits become natural, and they are forgotten for a while.

With a face towel hanging around his neck, and a toothbrush and a water glass in his hand, he walked upstairs to the bathroom on the second floor.

Qiu Mu's house has three floors in total and is a single family.Although the space is large, only the first and second floors are the most commonly used, and the third floor is used to store some sundries, and it is basically not very common to go up.

The old man's room is on the second floor, next to the study and studio, which is well lit and spacious.Because the elderly lived alone in the past, most of the room functions are for the elderly, and the largest master bedroom is also the room for the elderly.

Walking in the corridor on the left side of the first floor is the room of Qiu Mu and Ye Li.Their bedrooms may be a little smaller compared to other rooms in the house.But Qiu Mu and Ye Li were still children when they moved in. From the perspective of "children's room", the size is actually quite enough, and it is very close to the entrance of the living room, which is more convenient.So after living for a long time, Ye Li and Qiu Mu didn't bother to change.

Walking to the door of the bathroom, he found Ye Li was standing inside.The door was not closed, and Ye Li could be seen standing in front of the washing machine with his back to the door through the gap, and Qiu Mu pushed the door and walked in.

Ye Li held the clothes in his hand, and turned his head to look at Qiu Mu after hearing the sound.

"Where is the laundry?"

He took the water glass and walked to the sink, took the water and brushed his teeth.

Ye Li: "I took yours and washed them together."

"Oh, good."

Qiu Mu's mouth was full of foam, and he spoke vaguely.

Ye Li threw the clothes into the washing machine, closed the lid and pressed the button.

He looked back at Qiu Mu and said, "We have school tomorrow on Monday, remember to go to bed early."

"Ah."

Talking about ordinary daily chats, Qiu Mu spit out the mouthwash.While wiping my mouth with a towel, I suddenly felt like I was talking to my family.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that no matter in the previous life or the present, his parents spend very little time with him in daily life.There are not many opportunities to meet at home, and it is even rarer to have a conversation like this.

Old people with a somewhat stubborn personality are not the kind of people who like "mother-in-law" to worry about their children's daily life. In the first two years, they would ask Qiu Mu about his studies. I don't ask about anything.

So in retrospect, the only person in front of me who was able to make Qiu Mu feel and realize the feeling of "So I'm getting along with my family" in the first two lifetimes was Ye Li, who was born in the same year as him.

It turned out that they had become so close before they knew it.

Because it is so natural, it has long been integrated into the details of life, so I didn't notice it at all.

"..." Ye Li stood behind Qiu Mu, looking at Qiu Mu in the mirror in front of the sink, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Why are you smirking?"

Qiu Mu raised his head: "Huh?"

He touched his face with his hands, and found himself in the mirror, the corners of his mouth and eyes couldn't stop smiling: "Haha, I don't know what to laugh at."

Ye Li glanced at him speechlessly, then turned and left the bathroom.

The next morning, Monday.Ye Li and Qiu Mu sat at the table waiting for breakfast, and Grandpa Qiu just came back from a stroll outside.

——The old man’s daily routine is very regular. He gets up at five o’clock, washes up and goes to the backyard to water the flowers, and leaves at 05:30.Take the little black dog for a walk around the neighborhood, then go to the park to exercise and chat with a group of old men and women, and come back at [-]:[-] to have breakfast with the two children.

Everyone who has eaten with them at Qiu Mu's house knows that the three of them have good manners when eating.Don't eat with your mouth, play with your phone in your hand, or look at the screen with your eyes.Everyone held their rice bowls in their hands and concentrated on eating the food in front of them, occasionally saying a few words and exchanging feelings.

Ye Li likes chatting with the elderly very much, because the elderly have lived for many years, and have gained a lot of experience and conclusions in society.On the wrinkled dry face, every wrinkle recorded a thrilling story of life.So whenever he talks to the old man, Ye Li can always hear something very meaningful.

What is "become the first and you will not be ignored", what is "people who only pursue results will often not have good results", what is "medicine will not have curative effect if it has no side effects", what is "the wall is so high It's the ones who don't come" and the like.

Every time after listening to it, Ye Li would always remember it in his heart with a serious face.

Because Qiu Mu grew up freely and loosely by himself, and now his personality and world view have been fixed, and he can't change it, and it's useless to listen to more teachings.Ye Li is just in the growth period, whether it is learning or correcting, he is very fast.

So sometimes, it is not an exaggeration to directly say that Ye Li was brought out by the old man.

After all, in his personality and behavior, he can see a little bit of the old man's resoluteness.

After eating, Qiu Mu and Ye Li went out to school with their schoolbags on their backs.Gu Yu didn't wait for them by the side of the road, the two stood quietly at the gate of Gu Yu's house and waited silently.

"Did you tell Xiao Yu about that?"

Qiu Mu recalled what Ye Li was talking about, and then said: "Not yet, let's find a chance to talk to him today."

Ye Li talked about whatever he wanted to talk about, and there was no connection: "Do you think that Xiao Hei is so fat that he is about to turn into a ball now?"

Qiu Mu smiled and said, "It's already a ball."

Ye Li said helplessly: "Eat three meals of dog food a day, and give it all the leftovers. The snacks I bought were all fed to grandpa in a short while. There is really no way."

Qiu Mu: "Grandpa likes it, even if he wants to feed it, he can't hold it back."

"By the way, do you think Grandpa secretly bought wine and hid it again?"

Qiu Mu thought for a while: "I don't know, maybe."

Ye Li narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something: "I'm going to search again when I go back today."

Qiu Mu laughed happily: "Grandpa hid all the wine in the room last time, can you find it?"

Ye Li: "If you can't find the best one, if you find it, just confiscate and throw it away."

As soon as Qiu Mu recalled the scene of Ye Li fighting wits and courage with the old man when he was looking for the old man's "treasure", he couldn't help laughing: "It feels like you are the only one who can cure grandpa at home. I still have my parents, No one says it's useless. Even if he finds the wine, he can snatch it back, and maybe he will be scolded in turn."

Ye Li said: "If you are scolded, you have to look for it. You can't let your grandpa get angry. He has a hot personality and drinks alcohol. How do you think the high blood pressure can be lowered?"

For some reason, Qiu Mu couldn't stop laughing because of this sentence. Thinking about it, he felt more and more that Ye Li had completely integrated into his life and could not be separated.No matter how trivial and small things are, the two can talk together.

During the talk, Gu Yuti ran out of the house with his schoolbag in his hands.Seeing Qiu Mu Yeli at the door, he greeted with a bright smile: "Yo!"

The three of them walked towards the bus station.

"I didn't have time to write my homework, so the two heroes come to the rescue."

Sitting on the seat, Gu Yu took out the homework from her schoolbag and spread it on her lap, folded her hands together, and said to Qiu Mu and the others with a shy smile.

Qiu Mu and Ye Li glanced at each other, and Qiu Mu said, "You can borrow this time, but Xiao Yu, have you been a little too negligent in your studies recently?"

Gu Yu said indifferently: "What does it matter, anyway, it's something you know."

Qiu Mu felt helpless.

Ye Li: "It doesn't matter if you meet or not, the attitude is the most important."

Gu Yu said impatiently: "Oh, three years in high school, it's been a long time, and I almost finished all the content, so why worry!"

Ye Li's expression became obviously displeased.

Qiu Mu wondered: "Don't you want to get into a better university?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Gu Yu laughed happily: "Haha, actually, I have made an appointment with my senior sister, and I will take a test in a school in the future. When the time comes—"

Ye Li spoke very straightforwardly: "Are you wondering what good school Chen Siqi can get into? Do you waste your own qualifications to cooperate with her? Don't you think it's too wasteful."

Gu Yu's expression froze, and the corners of his mouth hung down.

Qiu Mu probably had a premonition of what would happen if the two of them continued to chat, so he interrupted quickly: "Okay, okay, let's not talk, there are still more than two years, what to do with this. "

Ye Li frowned: "It's not that high school only needs to complete the assigned homework, it's obvious that you can—"

Gu Yu suddenly said loudly: "Okay, isn't it just a homework, love to borrow or not, why talk so much nonsense!"

Ye Li narrowed his eyes.

Qiu Mu looked at Gu Yu with more and more embarrassment.

Ye Li's indifferent expression stayed for two seconds, then suddenly he let go, and he said: "Okay, sorry, I said too much. I'm just afraid that you will forget to study because of his love, so I'm a little worried."

Gu Yu originally looked like he was determined to quarrel with Ye Li, but when he heard Ye Li's unprecedented soft words, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

He faltered and said, "Well... sorry, I will write my own homework next time."

Ye Li smiled at him: "Yes."

Qiu Mu sat aside, looking at Ye Li's expression, he started to have a headache.

He knew that Ye Li was really angry, and he was still angry now.

As I said just now, Ye Li has a tough personality.If he really wants to be good for someone, he will treat the old man the same way, no matter what the other person's attitude is, if he says no, then he can't do it, whether he has a conflict with the other person, or is pointed at his nose and scolded by the other person, as long as he decides things, it must be carried out to the end.

That's why the old man is not afraid of Qiu Mu, not afraid of Qiu Mu's parents' thoughts, and doesn't care about what to eat and drink, but he is only afraid of Ye Li.Because Ye Li is different from others, even if he was annoyed by the old man because he took away the old man's drink, he would not care. The old man said that Potian even had a falling out with Ye Li, but Ye Li would not change his attitude.

And the old man who knows this can't really quarrel with Ye Li, a junior, because of this matter, so Ye Li will control him to death.There is nowhere to say that there is suffering, I can only touch my nose and admit it.

Ye Li, who has such a personality, suddenly softened his attitude after having an argument with Gu Yu just now, and said nice words to make Gu Yu reconcile with him.

On the surface, it is a harmonious scene of hello, me, everyone, but actually it is a very bad sign, which means that Ye Li has given up on Gu Yu, thinking that it does not matter if Gu Yu studies well or is self-motivated.

However, Gu Yu was still kept in the dark, thinking that Ye Li, who had never been subdued, had a rare good word because of their friendship, and had reconciled with him as before, so he was so happy and foolish that he didn't know anything.

Qiu Mu took out her mobile phone and sent Ye Li a text message.

【Still angry】

Ye Li: 【Too lazy to be angry. 】

Isn't this worse than being angry, Qiu Mu thought.

【It’s just a matter of this period of time, let’s forget it】

He started to speak for Gu Yu instead.

Ye Li: 【You are so indulgent to Xiao Yu.He's too preoccupied with dating and neglects his studies, don't you care? 】

Qiu Mu thought for a while and wrote: [Not everyone is as rational as you]

Ye Li: [Wrong is wrong, it has nothing to do with people, there is no need to compare with me.I am too lazy to talk about him. 】

Qiu Mu: [Okay, don’t be angry]

Ye Li: [Sometimes I don't understand why you have no bottom line for him.If you like someone, don't you hope that the other person can chat with you and have a lot of common topics with each other? 】

Ye Li: [At least the idea must be able to stand on the same plane as the one, otherwise, if you don't speculate, can you just keep moving for a long time? 】

Ye Li: [You are with Xiao Yu now, besides chatting about games and some irrelevant things in school, what else can you say. 】

Ye Li: [To put it bluntly, I always feel that Xiao Yu is not good enough for you. 】

Qiu Mu was sent by Ye Li's series of texts, so he didn't know how to reply.

He turned his head and glanced at Ye Li who was sitting in the back row, and saw that Ye Li was also looking at him expressionlessly, and then they looked at each other, silent.

Gu Yu was completely unaware of what happened behind the scenes, and said to Qiu Mu, "Copy your homework for me!"

Qiu Mu's mood became inexplicably heavy, and she opened the zipper of her schoolbag: "...what do you want?"

Ye Li was very dissatisfied with Gu Yu's behavior, and was too lazy to say anything more. After reading the text messages Ye Li sent to him, Qiu Mu felt that this could not go on, and began to try to get Gu Yu to correct his attitude towards learning. , just don't care about anything.

This afternoon, after school, Gu Yu came to Qiu Mu's house, and the three of them had a study session together.

——Although Qiu Mu and Gu Yu were talking and discussing their homework most of the time, Ye Li sat and listened, interjecting occasionally.

Seeing the appearance of the two talking, Ye Li watched quietly for a long time, then suddenly got up and walked towards the stairs: "I'm going to wash my face."

Gu Yu looked around the living room, and said to Qiu Mu, "By the way, where is Grandpa?"

Qiu Mu's voice came from behind Ye Li: "It should be upstairs."

Push open the door, walk to the sink, reach out and turn on the faucet.

Put your palms together, take the cold water and hold it in your palms, then lower your head and quickly pat the water on your face.

After repeating this several times, with water dripping on his face, he raised his palm and screwed on the faucet roughly.

He raised his head, looked at himself in the mirror, and found that the person in the mirror did not look good.

If you continue to sit downstairs with such an expression, you will definitely be asked.

He took the towel on the shelf beside him and wiped the water off his face.His eyes inadvertently saw a basket for clothes hanging above the washing machine in the compartment between the toilet and the bathroom.

There was nothing special about the basket, but at the edge of the basket, a small piece of clothing was inadvertently hung out, and the color and style were somewhat familiar.Ye Li noticed it right away.

Walked over unconsciously, reached out and took the clothes out of the basket, pinched the left and right shoulders with both hands, and opened the clothes.

Looking at the light blue long-sleeved shirt in front of him, Ye Li's eyes couldn't help but soften.

These are Qiu Mu's clothes, and they are also the clothes that Ye Li bought for Qiu Mu's birthday last year after he had a lot of money.

When Qiu Mu received the clothes, he looked very happy. Ye Liben was worried that he would show such an expression just out of politeness, but seeing how Qiu Mu took them out to wear every now and then, it was obvious that he would not. Just out of politeness.

Especially Qiu Mu, who doesn't like to wear old clothes very much, and buys some new ones every season. It is a rare move for him to wear a piece of clothing for two consecutive years.

Ye Li didn't know if Qiu Mu had noticed such details, or if he did it out of Ye Li's face.Anyway, Ye Li was very happy when he saw Qiu Mu find out this dress and wear it again not long ago.

A smile could not help showing on his face, Ye Li put the clothes tightly in his arms, imagining how Qiu Mu wore it not long ago, as if he was embracing Qiu Mu through the clothes.

It would be great if I could really touch him, when can I hold him tightly like this.It's not an illusory illusion in a dream, and it's not like waking up to see an empty bosom full of regrets, but a real body with body temperature and warmth.

It would be great if the person Qiu Mu likes is not Gu Yu, but him.

Why can't you show that smile to him, why can't you look at him with that look.

If it was him, he would definitely not let Qiu Mu feel disappointed, he would definitely answer Qiu Mu with a thousand times of love, and use all his strength to make Qiu Mu happy.

He buried his face in his clothes, held the light blue shirt at the tip of his nose, and sniffed it gently.

It was Qiu Mu's smell, the one that reassured him the most.

I really like Qiu Mu, I really like him, I really like him.

Obviously at the beginning, I was satisfied just wanting to be together, but now I am more and more dissatisfied.

Just seeing Qiu Mu's face, the love in my heart is so full that I can't bear it anymore, it's about to come out of my throat.

When you go downstairs later, make Qiu Mu a cup of coffee and bring a cake, he will be happy.

Imagine Qiu Mu's expression at that time, Ye Li felt extremely peaceful in his heart.

"tread!"

The sound of small, inconspicuous footsteps startled Ye Li's originally soothing heart to jump suddenly.

He raised his head in horror, and found that the surprised and unbelievable face of the old man outside the door was reflected in the mirror hanging on the washbasin in front of him.Ye Li gasped, eyes widened, quickly put down his clothes, turned around and quickly opened the door, wanting to say something.

But the old man had already turned around and disappeared into the range reflected by the mirror. Ye Li pushed open the door and walked out. The appearance of the old man leaving in a hurry made Ye Li even more uneasy.

"grandfather!"

Ye Li found that his body was trembling, he didn't know what was going on in his brain, subconsciously he just wanted to catch up and stop the old man.

The figure of the old man disappeared around the corner, and the thought of "It's over" hasn't arisen for a long time, what kind of actual feelings does Ye Li's brain cause? The appalling meaning made Ye Li subconsciously stop, and he just stood there for two seconds, his mind blank.

The next moment, the blood all over his body rushed to his head.He rushed to the stairs with the fastest speed and looked down. The old man was lying motionless on the ground of the first floor without moving.

Ye Li murmured "No", and ran up the stairs with more than a dozen steps in three steps, rushed down and lay down next to the old man: "Grandpa, grandpa! Grandpa, wake up!"

The old man didn't respond, his head was stuck to the ground, his eyes were tightly closed.

Qiu Mu and Gu Yu ran over when they heard the sound, and when they saw Ye Li kneeling on the ground and the old man lying beside him, they were stunned for a moment in disbelief.

"What's going on?" Qiu Mu came over and asked quickly.

Ye Li raised his head with red eyes, his voice was choked with sobs: "C, I fell down the stairs."

He couldn't accept this scene and kept shaking his head.The look of being at a loss is the panic and nervousness that Qiu Mu has never seen before.

The old man's limbs were bent and twisted into an uncomfortable position. Ye Li wanted to touch him but didn't dare to touch him. He didn't know if there was any broken bone on the old man's body. cause secondary damage.

"Calm down first." Qiu Mu said very quickly: "It's okay, it's definitely okay."

Ye Li shook his head, did not respond to him, and took out the phone with trembling fingers, short of breath.A small, meaningless sound came out of his throat, and he quickly called the emergency call.

The call was quickly connected, Ye Li's eyes were red, and he restrained his emotions so that his voice could be heard clearly: "My grandfather fell down and fell down the stairs, and now he is unconscious, what should I do? !"

The nurse on the other end of the phone said: "We will send someone there immediately, please calm down the family members, don't touch the injured casually, and cooperate with our actions, now..."

Ye Li was buzzing with various thoughts in his head, and his body trembled unconsciously.But he still tried his best to maintain a trace of calmness, listened carefully to the arrangements of the person opposite, and followed them one by one: "Okay, okay, I understand."

His voice sounded painful, but he still tried his best to restrain his emotions and seize the time to do everything within his power to ensure the safety of the old man.

Although Qiu Mu was very worried about the old man, she was also worried about Ye Li's current state.

"Are you OK!"

Ye Li held the phone with one hand and covered his mouth with the other hand, as if he was going to spit it out in the next second, the veins popped up on his forehead.Then, looking at the unconscious face of the old man, he slapped himself hard on the face, took two deep breaths, and said to Qiu Mu, "I'm fine."

Both Qiu Mu and Gu Yu were startled by his performance.

"you......"

Ye Li: "Leave me alone, let's see if Grandpa can wake up, just now—"

Halfway through speaking, Ye Li couldn't help covering his mouth with his hand, as if he was about to vomit, and was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.He retched unbearably several times in his throat, and knelt aside while clutching his stomach, and he could tell at a glance that he was very uncomfortable at this moment.

Qiu Mu looked at him worriedly, then knelt down and touched the old man's face, trying to wake him up.

"Grandpa, grandpa."

The old man closed his eyes tightly and did not respond.
