Sleeping in a daze, Zhu Yuanyu felt that his body suddenly sank, and his chest seemed to be put on a big stone, and he was almost out of breath under the heavy pressure.

When he opened his eyes, he vaguely caught a glimpse of a furry thing pressing against his chest, the size of a basketball.

He usually sleeps quite honestly, barely turning much, and his position at this time is lying flat, belly up, which is just convenient for the unknown object to press him.

The thing squirmed, it was body temperature, Zhu Yuanyu thought it was Maotou, and asked vaguely, "Maotou?" Then he immediately remembered that Maotou would not go to his bed casually after training, unless there was an order, so this thing was not Maotou, and he instantly woke up when he thought of this.

Zhu Yuanyu squinted his eyes, held his breath, and observed secretly, his left hand quickly sealed, and he preemptively struck whenever he found something wrong. It was also because he was careless, thinking that he would not encounter any danger in the tall Niu family, so he did not use the enchantment-shaped talisman as a protection, so he was approached by this thing.

"Huh-"

The thing let out a baby-like cry and slowly moved towards Zhu Yuanyu's face.

Zhu Yuanyu's left hand was tense and he could exert his strength at any time.

Suddenly, the thing didn't move, and then it swelled up with a "touch", exploded and disappeared.

If it weren't for the faint smell of watermelon, Zhu Yuanyu would have thought he was dreaming.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

Qi Yi shouted through the door curtain, his voice seemed to be worried.

I was probably awakened by the "touch" just now and came to check on the situation.

"It's fine. When is it now?"

"It's time. Young master, can my subordinates come in?"

Zhu Yuanyu pondered for a while, knowing that Qi Yi was not at ease, so he let him in.

Qi Yi opened the curtain and walked in, looked around, and saw that there was nothing wrong before he relaxed slightly, and turned his gaze to the kang, Zhu Yuanyu was half-leaning, supporting his head with one hand, and his expression was a little difficult to see in the darkness of the room. Qi Yi found that the neckline of his profane clothes was a little messy, revealing a piece of skin, and Qi Yi, who was aware of what he was looking at, quickly retracted his gaze, and the roots of his ears began to heat up.

Qi Yi smelled a faint aroma and was a little puzzled, this was obviously not the smell of Zhu Yuanyu......

"Young Master, you just ...... Did you hear anything?"

In fact, the "bump" was not loud, it should not have been transmitted to the next room, didn't Li Zhuangzhuang wake up when he didn't see it? It's just that Qi Yi didn't know why he heard it, and he heard it very clearly, so he rushed over worried that something would happen to Zhu Yuanyu.

Zhu Yuanyu yawned, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, slowly lay down and closed his eyes, and said vaguely: "It's okay, go back to sleep." ”

Qi Yi was still not at ease, glanced at the other party cautiously, and asked softly, "Young master, why don't you let your subordinates keep vigil for you?"

Zhu Yuanyu seemed to be asleep and did not respond.

Qi Yi hesitated, sat down on the bench by the door, and leaned against the wall with his arms in his hands and squinted.

The night passed, and the thing didn't come again, and there was the sound of water outside.

Zhu Yuanyu opened his eyes and sat up.

"Young Master, are you awake?"

Cui'er waited outside the curtain with a basin of water.

Qi Yi stood up and lifted the curtain.

Cui'er saw that Zhu Yuanyu had already gotten up, so she walked in, put the basin on the table, picked up the handkerchief soaked in water, wrung it out, and handed it to Zhu Yuanyu.

Zhu Yuanyu took it, wiped his hands after wiping his face, and returned it to Cui'er.

"Young master, shall we continue on the road today?" Qi Yi was a little concerned about what Gao Daniu said yesterday, and for the sake of Zhu Yuanyu's body, he hoped to leave as much as possible.

"After breakfast. ”

Zhu Yuanyu said lightly, thinking about the thing from last night in his mind, and now that he thinks about it, that thing doesn't seem to have malicious intent.

When I walked out, I found that the sky was very gloomy, and it seemed like it was going to rain.

Not far away, tall cows were feeding their mules and Zhu Yuanyu and their horses with forage.

"Big Brother Gao. ”

Gao Da Niu turned around and smiled, "Brother Zhu, you're up—my mother is making breakfast, and you can leave ...... after eating" He said and looked at the sky, a little worried.

"It looks like it's going to rain. ”

"yes......"

Gao Da Niang steamed steamed buns in the morning and boiled porridge, and when it was served to the table, she could see the hot air steaming upward. The steamed buns are hand-kneaded by her, although they are not as soft as the modern steamed buns, but they are also good, and the taste Zhu Yuanyu likes it very much, and ate two at once.

Qi Yi secretly observed on the side, he has been like this recently, and quietly kept Zhu Yuanyu's preferences in mind, and then felt that he seemed to be a little closer to him in this way......

At the dinner table, the egg baby's eyes were red and swollen, probably crying last night, and the snot slid down and involuntarily sucked it down when it reached the upper lip, but it didn't suck it back smoothly as usual, but as if the nostrils were blocked, it finally slid down and touched the lips.

"You kid......"

The tall lady took out a piece of blue cloth that looked like a handkerchief and covered the egg baby's nose, shouting, "Come!"

The egg baby obediently asked the tall lady to wipe off the snot, and then twisted her head and didn't wipe it anymore.

Mrs. Gao reluctantly withdrew her hand and complained in a low voice, "This kid ......"

A strong purple white light pierced the sky, and then thunder exploded, and it finally began to rain. The floor of the courtyard was splashed with mud, and soon the ground was completely soaked.

Zhu Yuanyu looked at the shed with some concern, there was a mule and two sturdy horses crowded inside, and it seemed that it was a little unbearable. Fortunately, the truth was not as bad as he thought, and the mule and the horse got along quite well, and the mule generously shared his home with the horse to shelter them from the rain.

I originally thought that this rain would not rain for a long time, but who knew that it would start to get smaller halfway, and then it would be a continuous drizzle, and there was no intention of stopping until Shen Shi.

"Looks like I can't leave today......"

Zhu Yuanyu looked at the still dim sky and muttered.

Qi Yi on the side was also worried, he was the one who was most looking forward to leaving, but it turned out like this......

"Someone's coming!"

Li Zhuangzhuang pointed to the door and said.

In the distance, two men wearing hats and robes hurried towards the tall cow's house.

"Big Bull - Big Cow - Your uncle is dying-"

With a bang, Mrs. Gao broke the plate in her hand, stumbled out of the kitchen, grabbed Gao Daniu's hand tightly with both hands, and asked repeatedly: "What did they say?

"Mother, don't worry!" Gao Daniu was also anxious, and shouted out of the door in a hurry: "Is it Dongzi and Agui, what's wrong with my uncle?"

The two of them finally ran into the house, and one of them gasped and said, "Big cow! Your uncle is dying—come with us to see him for the last time!

The tall lady burst into tears and shook her head, "How can you not go...... Brother is the last time, and he is going...... The ...... who are going" said and looked at the tall cow with teary eyes, refusing to let go.

"Hey—" The other sighed helplessly.

Zhu Yuanyu looked at the sky, and then looked at the stalemate of the tall lady, so he said: "Take my carriage, Zhuangzhuang, you drive." ”

Li Zhuangzhuang nodded, immediately rushed out, quickly put the horse on the rope, jumped into the carriage, and then found an oil-paper umbrella and two sets of hats and robes from it, and put on one set himself.

The oil-paper umbrella and the hat were all prepared by Wang Chunmei, so be prepared, after all, Zhu Yuanyu is a long-distance trip, and it is impossible to say what weather he will encounter.

This is where it comes in handy.

Li Zhuangzhuang opened the oil-paper umbrella and walked over.

"Brother Gao, go quickly, don't delay time. Egg baby and we'll watch it for you. ”

Zhu Yuanyu gestured to the tall bull.

Gao Daniu smiled gratefully at Zhu Yuanyu, nodded, took the hat in Li Zhuangzhuang's hand, put it on, and personally held an umbrella to cover Gao Damiang from the rain, looked back at the egg baby and Zhu Yuanyu, nodded and left.

Dongzi and Agui also glanced at Zhu Yuanyu and them, and then walked into the rain curtain.

Li Zhuangzhuang drove the carriage and quickly disappeared into the rain.

Zhu Yuanyu stood for a while before saying to Cui'er, who also came out of the kitchen, "Dinner will be handed over to you." After speaking, he looked at the lower side of his body, gently put his hand on the top of the egg baby's head, and touched it.

"Will my mother die too?"

The egg baby raised her head and looked at Zhu Yuanyu, looking very worried and afraid.

Zhu Yuanyu didn't know how to answer for a while, whether to tell others truthfully about their birth, old age, sickness and death is a normal thing, or to give him the answer he expects the most now......

During dinner, I don't know if it's because of the rain or the lack of three people, in short, the atmosphere is a lot quieter, everyone is silently eating their own food, no one speaks.

"Egg baby, eat some food. ”

Cui'er gave him a chopstick dish, and the egg baby ate it awkwardly.

After the meal, because Cui'er had seen how Aunt Gao decocted the medicine, she fried the medicine for the egg baby. When the medicine was fried and cooled for a while, the egg baby refused to drink it, and tears fell down.

Cui'er was at a loss as she took the medicine.

Suddenly, the egg baby pushed Cui'er away and ran into his father's room, and Cui'er finally stabilized herself without spilling the medicine.

Zhu Yuanyu frowned, Gao Da Niu didn't let the egg baby go in this morning, saying that it was because he was worried that the strange disease would be transmitted to the egg baby, but he didn't expect Gao Da Niu to disobey his orders as soon as the egg baby was not there.

Qi Jian saw Zhu Yuanyu stand up, and hurriedly stopped: "Young master, don't!"

Cui'er also stopped and said worriedly: "Let's go in and have a look." After saying that, he put down the medicine path he was holding and walked in.

Unexpectedly, she just went in, and an exclamation came out.

Zhu Yuanyu immediately bypassed Qi Yi and rushed in.
