"Third brother, the dew is heavy in the middle of the night, why are you still sitting in the yard without resting?" When the surroundings were so quiet that there was not even a trace of wind, a gentle and gentle man's voice suddenly sounded, breaking Lin Xiaoyang's sorrows.
Lin Xiaoyang, who was sitting alone at the stone table in the courtyard, raised his head when he heard the sound, followed the sound, and saw that at the gate of the courtyard built into a full moon shape, there was a man with a high bundle of black hair, the headdress of the hair was just a very simple silver hairpin, and he was wearing a white satin robe, the placket, cuffs, and hem of the robe were embroidered with lake green lotus leaf patterns, and a man with a pair of white soap boots on his feet.
Because the placket of the man's robe was slightly open, it could be clearly seen that under the white robe, the man was wearing a dark blue gown, and under the dark blue robe was also wearing a close-fitting light gray undershirt.
Lin Xiaoyang would have looked at it so carefully, even seeing how many clothes the man was wearing, and what color each dress was, it was not Lin Xiaoyang who deliberately looked at the man so carefully.
In fact, the clothes worn by the man are not very eye-catching, and the clothes used to make clothes are just satin fabrics commonly used by rich families, and the style of clothes is also a more common style worn by the sons of rich families.
On the whole, the few clothes that the man wore from the inside to the outside were no different from the navy blue robe that Lin Xiaoyang was wearing.
It's no wonder that Lin Xiaoyang's eyes are too good, just by the moonlight, he can clearly see that the dark blue robe and close-fitting light gray undershirt that the man is wearing inside actually have a thin layer of fluff!
In this Daliang country, which is located in the south of the Tiancheng Continent, especially in Nanling County, Jinyi Province, which is located in the coastal area, the weather has begun to gradually warm up at the beginning of April every year, and by the beginning of May, the weather has completely begun to heat up.
Therefore, every year, starting from the beginning of May, people living in this area will try their best to wear light and thin clothes, including shoes and socks, so as not to be hot and stuffy.
Long before arriving in this Nanling County, the clothes Lin Xiaoyang was wearing had begun to gradually decrease, and they were getting thinner and thinner, and today Lin Xiaoyang was only wearing a white shirt and a thin navy blue robe.
And like this kind of fluffy shirt...... In this season, just looking at it, Lin Xiaoyang feels hot. After all, only in the cold winter when the moon is cold and the snow is white, Lin Xiaoyang will wear this kind of clothes with fluff.
And although it is late at night, compared with the bright sun in the daytime, the temperature has indeed decreased, but after all, summer has come, even if he is wearing such thin clothes and sitting in this courtyard, Lin Xiaoyang still faintly feels a little stuffy, but ...... The man was dressed in what could be described as a thick three-tiered garment......
To be honest, if it was just that, Lin Xiaoyang felt that he could still reluctantly accept it-
It's just that the three shirts worn by the man are a little fluffy, which is more exposed, and people are not allowed to wear more to keep out the cold?
What really made Lin Xiaoyang feel unacceptable was also the most eye-catching thing on the man's body, that is, it was not enough for the man to wear three clothes with fluff, and he was still wearing a long white cloak on his shoulders that was about to drag to the ground!
Not only that, but the edge of the white cloak was finely and densely inlaid with a circle of fluffy white fox fur, especially the fox fur embedded in the collar of the cloak, which was extremely thick, so thick that it surrounded the man's neck!
With such a winter-like outfit, Lin Xiaoyang really looked at it more and more he panicked for the man.
Moving his gaze upwards and looking at the man's face, Lin Xiaoyang only felt as if he had seen himself through the cold moonlight in the sky-
The skin is as fair as mutton fat jade, the sword eyebrows are handsome, the eyes are shining like stars, the nose bridge is high but not straight, the lips are not thin or thick slightly upturned to the sides, and there is always a gentle smile, and the chin is a little pointed because of the emaciation......
Since returning to the Lin family's home, every time he sees this face, Lin Xiaoyang can't help but think: There seems to be only two differences between him and him: skin color and chin. Oh, and their bodies are not the same, he is lean, and he is ...... It's emaciation.
Because he had to practice martial arts, he spent years in the scorching sun from morning to night, even on dog days, so his complexion looked very healthy and bronzed. And the color of his complexion ......
Because of his years of illness, he could not bask in the sun for a long time, otherwise he would not only be prone to dizziness, but also may aggravate the weakness of his body, so his complexion looked very fair.
No, it's not so much fair, it's more of a ...... Morbidity......
When he was at the top of Qinshan Mountain, although their master only let him be a vegetarian and didn't let him touch any meat, but because he practiced martial arts all the year round, he had a good physical foundation, and he was many times healthier than ordinary people, so that even in the face of more than ten years of vegetarian food, he was always very appetizing, and his food was also very large, so even if he was vegetarian for more than ten years......
His physique is very strong because of his perennial martial arts practice, and there is no excess fat on his limbs and back, but his chin is ...... But it's been fleshy. For this reason, he was also ridiculed by his two senior brothers for a long time!
Alas...... He was a vegetarian every year, and he was a vegetarian every day, but why didn't he lose weight but gain weight? No, his physique was not fat, but he had a little more meat on his chin......
But because of his perennial physical illness, he drinks medicine more times a day than he eats!
After Lin Zhiwu left temporarily, they lived in the same courtyard in the past few days, and he had seen him drink medicine a few times, even from a distance, he could smell a bitter, unbearably sick smell of medicine.
He especially remembers one time, when he was drinking medicine, he happened to sit next to him and eat a snack. As a result, as soon as he smelled the bitter and terrible smell of medicine, he lost his appetite at all, and when he ate the original delicious pastries in his mouth, it seemed to have a bitter medicinal smell, so that he couldn't swallow it at all, like a fish in his throat.
Later, he thought that if he had to drink so many bowls of bitter and deadly medicinal juice every day, no matter how delicious the food was in front of him, he probably wouldn't have any appetite.
Not to mention appetite, it's good if he can hold back and not throw up!
So...... His emaciation may not only be due to frailty, but also to a lack of appetite.
When you eat something in your mouth, it seems to have a bitter medicinal taste, and you will naturally lose your appetite and swallow, and people will naturally lose weight. In this case, I am afraid that the result will be the same for anyone.
However, because he is the only wife of the head of the Lin family and a veritable son-in-law, in the past 20 years, the Lin family and the Lin family's side branches have been continuously providing various precious medicinal materials to support his body, which has not made him skinny because of his illness and weakness.
If he hadn't been shrouded in the identity of the "Lin family's son-in-law" since he was born, or he was just born in a very ordinary and ordinary ordinary people's family, I'm afraid he would have ...... long ago
But even though he had been taking all kinds of precious medicinal herbs all year round, he still looked much thinner than him in every part of his body.
In particular, the difference between the two of them is the most obvious, one has a fleshy chin, and the other has a thin and pointed jaw......
However, their eyebrows, eyes, and facial features are so similar, and even their bodies are similar, if the two of them stand together, if they don't look closely, they are like twins.
Looks similar, body shape is similar, and they can really care about each other, this is the real -
A mother's compatriots!!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyang, who was sitting alone at the stone table, stood up and greeted the man standing at the gate of the courtyard built into a full moon with his special clear and sunny voice: "Second brother." ”
The smile that had always been on his lips deepened, and Lin Lanfeng raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard.
Although Lin Lanfeng walked slowly, the white cloak draped on his shoulders still swayed with his footsteps, and the edge of the white fox sweater embedded in his hair was also swept in one direction by the breeze driven by the walking......
Quietly watching Lin Lanfeng walking towards him, a poem suddenly popped up in Lin Xiaoyang's mind: The son is unparalleled in the world, and the stranger is like jade. Well, his second brother is indeed a rare good son.
At this time, he walked all the way to Lin Xiaoyang, and Lin Lanfeng asked Lin Xiaoyang: "What's the matter? The third brother is hungry and can't sleep? Do you need the second brother to help you make supper?"
Lin Lanfeng's personality, as well as his voice when he speaks, are as warm as the wind like his name.
Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing in front of the stone table, heard Lin Lanfeng's obvious ridiculous words, Lin Xiaoyang followed Lin Lanfeng's words, remembering that he had consumed a lot of physical strength because of too many competitions a few days ago, and he was easy to get hungry, and he always got up in the middle of the night to find food to eat, and Lin Lanfeng, who was tired of living in the same yard with him, had to go to the kitchen to get a body of soot in the middle of the night......
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyang immediately smiled a little embarrassedly: "No, second brother, I'm not hungry." Just ......"
Obviously, the words have already come to his lips, but Lin Xiaoyang suddenly thought that Lin Lanfeng was so good to him, he shouldn't say his troubles and let Lin Lanfeng worry with him......
So, Lin Xiaoyang simply turned a corner immediately, and said with a smile: "I was tired after the test during the day, I slept a lot in the afternoon, and I couldn't sleep after night." ”
As soon as he heard Lin Xiaoyang's words, Lin Lanfeng immediately smiled on his lips, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Then you can't sit in the courtyard in the middle of the night, the south is more exposed at night, beware of catching a cold." ”
As he spoke, Lin Lanfeng raised his hands and began to untie the white cape with a white fox sweater on his shoulders, which was very warm and expensive at first glance.
After getting along with Lin Lanfeng for so many days, Lin Xiaoyang didn't need to think deeply at this moment, he had already seen Lin Lanfeng's intentions.
Lin Xiaoyang immediately raised his right hand and pressed Lin Lanfeng's wrist to untie his cloak, and at the same time, Lin Xiaoyang smiled at Lin Lanfeng: "Second brother, you know, I don't need it." With that, Lin Xiaoyang put his hand down.
Lin Xiaoyang stopped Lin Lanfeng from untying his cloak, not only because he really didn't need it, but more importantly, for the sake of Lin Lanfeng's body.
It's just that after Lin Xiaoyang's words fell, there was a moment of silence around him.
Fortunately, there was only a moment of silence, and then I heard Lin Lanfeng smile so mockingly: "It's the second brother who was confused for a while." After a pause, Lin Lanfeng regained his usual gentle smile: "My third brother's body is great!"
After saying this, Lin Lanfeng untied half of the cloak and tied it back again.
"Second brother, why did you come back so late? Second brother is weak, and it is not good to walk around outside at night. It wasn't until Lin Lanfeng re-fastened the cloak that Lin Xiaoyang asked Lin Lanfeng so worriedly.
Listening to Lin Xiaoyang's worried words, Lin Lanfeng pursed his lips, smiled gently at Lin Xiaoyang, and said in a gentle tone: "Thank you for your concern, you see that the second brother and I didn't go out after wearing a lot of clothes inside and outside, it's okay." Tonight, my father, he ......"
The words stopped suddenly, looking at Lin Xiaoyang, Lin Lanfeng sighed lightly, and said with great worry: "Father, he coughed up blood again tonight, and after I heard the news, I rushed to my father's place, so I came back a little late." ”
No wonder his second brother came back late at night, it turned out to be his father...... Are you coughing up blood again? How many times this month has it so far? Seventh? Or eighth?
Lin Xiaoyang couldn't help but think that since he returned to the Lin family's home and saw his father lying on the bed, skinny and dying, Lin Xiaoyang has always felt that if he can get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, it will be a great blessing for his father!
Thinking like this, Lin Xiaoyang silently raised his hand and patted Lin Lanfeng's shoulder, rarely speaking to someone in a heavy tone: "Second brother, don't feel uncomfortable. My master once said that life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky, and you can't ask for it. ”
On that side, when Lin Lanfeng heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said with a wry smile: "Why don't you know these truths? It's just ......"
After a pause, Lin Lanfeng sighed again, and when he spoke again, Lin Lanfeng had already changed his words: "By the way, my father asked me to tell you by the way, if you have nothing to do tonight, you can go to your father's room, and my father said that he has something to look for you."
