25 August 2005, 11 a.m., fine.

Last night, Hua Feng felt very tired, maybe it was because he was drenched in the rain, or maybe he felt that Xiaoli was ruthlessly separated. Hua Feng didn't think about anything, and didn't dare to think about it, so he slept until eleven o'clock the next day, and when he got up, his whole body felt pain, and it seemed that his whole body was scattered. Lie on the bed and look at the ceiling.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Feeling unwell? ”

Brother Hua Qiang walked in, looked at Hua Feng and said. He thought it was strange that his brother usually got up at six o'clock, never got out of bed, and today it was almost twelve o'clock, and he still went to bed.

"Brother, I'm fine. What time is it, and where have Mom and Dad gone? ”

Hua Feng felt that his throat was very sore, it was still a little itchy, and it was a little difficult to breathe, he knew that he had a cold and fever, but he still said to his younger brother a little vaguely.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, my parents have gone to plow, it's time to sow wheat and plant it."

The younger brother Hua Qiang looked at the sweaty elder brother and said.

"Oh, I'll get up in a moment, and you can just do your summer homework."

"Brother, you're really fine, you have a lot of sweat on your face."

"Brother, I'm really fine."

What else can Hua Feng say about a younger brother who cares about his brother so much.

"Brother, then you hurry up and eat, I'll go do my homework."

After his younger brother Hua Qiang finished speaking, he helped Hua Feng close the door and went back to his room.

Hua Feng was barely able to put on his clothes, then went to the first floor to get a basin filled with water, brushed his teeth, washed his face, returned to the room on the second floor, took a look in the mirror, and his face looked a little sluggish, Hua Feng sighed.

In the kitchen on the next floor, it took a lot of effort to eat two bowls of millet porridge, and Hua Feng, who was still hungry, had no appetite at all.

There is no medicine for colds and fevers at home, and I don't have the strength to go to the mountains to find mountain herbs. There is only one way, Hua Feng returned to the room, closed the door, took off his clothes, took out the bag of silver needles, and then took a silver needle in his hand and baked it with an alcohol lamp for a while, calmed down, closed his eyes, followed the medical book, gritted his teeth, and inserted one acupoint after another, and then took a few in a row, baked it with an alcohol lamp for a while, and inserted other meridian points.

After extinguishing the alcohol lamp with the lamp cover, put it back on the bed with your hand and lie down on the bed. In fact, this acupuncture method for treating fever is the first time Hua Feng has used it, and he has tested it with his own body. But Hua Feng is already very familiar with the various acupuncture points of the human body, otherwise he would not dare to test it himself. Moreover, now that he is ill, he does not want his family to worry. In fact, it was Hua Feng who was afraid that his family would ask, he was fine yesterday, why did he get up with a fever and get sick today.

At this time, Hua Feng, who was lying on the bed, felt that his whole body was hot, his whole body was numb, and sometimes some smoke came out with needles, and Hua Feng's face was sweating even more, and he felt that his whole body was sweating, and he felt that the sheets that were laid out were wet, but after these sweats came out, he felt that his whole body was much more comfortable. Slowly, Hua Feng fell asleep again. It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when his younger brother was knocking on the door, that Hua Feng woke up from his dream. At this time, Hua Feng found that his whole body had strength, and his throat was no longer painful or itchy. Hua Feng knew that his fever had subsided.

Hua Feng gently pulled out a few silver needles from his body with his hands and put them back into the box where the silver needles were placed.

Hua Feng was a little happy in his heart, after all, this acupuncture was successful, and for acupuncture to treat various other diseases, Hua Feng was more convinced of acupuncture. Hua Feng put on his clothes, opened the door, and saw his younger brother Hua Qiang looking at him strangely.

"Brother, are you hot? Why do you still sweat so much on your face? ”

"It's a little hot, brother, do you have something to do with me?"

"I've boiled corn and brought it to you."

Looking at the packets of tender white corn in his younger brother's hand, Hua Feng felt hungry.

"Brother, just put it on the desk. Mom, Dad, sister, have you eaten? ”

"Dad and Mom, after eating, I'm going to sow wheat again, and my sister went next door to play with my cousin, and I kept it for her."

"Brother, do you want to go to Xiaohua Mountain to play?"

Seeing this enthusiastic younger brother, there are still a few days to go to Shanghai, and suddenly a little reluctant to him, now take him to Xiaohua Mountain to play, and also find some mountain herbs.

"Brother, I want to go, I haven't been to play for a long time."

"Okay, then you wait a minute, brother go take a bath."

Ten minutes later, after taking a shower, Hua Feng put on a cool suit and felt very comfortable. took those packets of corn, and walked towards Xiaohuashan with his younger brother while eating.

According to the old man, this mountain was originally called Huashan, but in order to distinguish it from the famous Huashan, it was changed to Xiaohuashan. And this Xiaohua Mountain, there are all kinds of herbs on the mountain, so it is also called "Medicine Mountain", I heard that in the past, the divine doctor Hua Tuo also picked medicine on Xiaohua Mountain, and helped farmers to cure diseases. As for why it is called Xiaohuashan, because the people in my village, the men are all surnamed Hua, and there are no other miscellaneous surnames, and it is said that it is a rural village with the highest concentration of surnames Hua in the country.

When Hua Feng and his younger brother went up to Xiaohua Mountain, they saw a lot of mountain herbs, Hua Feng picked a few cold medicines and put them in the bag, and just took his younger brother to introduce them to him while watching the mountain herbs.

With such abundant mountain herbs, why haven't the villagers become rich? Later, Hua Feng heard from his father and learned that the villagers used to pick yam for a living, but due to excessive drug collection, many yam varieties were facing extinction. The village chief told the villagers that after consulting with the villagers, they would no longer pick yams to sell, but only when the villagers of the family fell ill, they could go to the mountains to pick some mountain herbs.

Looking at all kinds of rare mountain herbs, an idea suddenly flashed in Hua Feng's mind, a large number of these rare mountain herbs were artificially planted, but it was only for a moment, and Hua Feng did not catch it. Perhaps, it's because I think of her again.

"Brother, what's the place on that side of the mountain?" The younger brother stood on the stone and asked Hua Feng.

"Over there is the city of Suzhou."

Hearing this, Hua Feng thought of Xiaoli again.

"Kaede, can you see me over there?"

Two years ago, in the classroom, Xiaoli asked Hua Feng.

"Okay! There's a mountain there. ”

"Kaede, you can take me to you after graduation, okay?"

But where are you now? Hehe, you should be with your fiancé!!

"Brother, what are you thinking?"

The younger brother raised his head and looked at the older brother sitting on the stone and asked.

"Brother, you don't understand. The farthest distance in the world is not that I am standing in front of you, but you don't know that I love you, but you know that you love each other, but you can't be together. ”

"Brother, what you said is very profound. I really don't understand, but what my brother says is the truth. ”

The younger brother has always been proud of his elder brother Hua Feng, but at this time he feels ashamed.

"Alas, brother, I didn't say that."

After speaking, he sat down on the stone and continued to look at the other side of the mountain in silence.

"Perhaps, on the other side of the mountain, is the place I seek – Shanghai."

As the sun set, Hua Feng took his younger brother and dragged a long figure towards home. However, no matter who sees Hua Feng at this time, they will feel so lonely.
