Chapter 380: Speechless (I)
In the early morning spring breeze, the fragrance of wild flowers mixed with the smell of moist earth, Liu Ying still closed her eyes, too lazy to look at the scenery outside the window day after day. When no one bothered him, he would recall over and over again the roads he had walked with his own feet.
Mountains, beaches, battlefields, palaces......
He once walked freely with his father-in-law, compiled books, fought side by side with his biological father, guarded Wucheng, and chased the waves of the East China Sea with his beloved woman.
Even if he made the decision to end at the peak of the peerless world in this life, he didn't seem to have any regrets.
But fate makes people, his life did not end in splendor, but the splendor in his life has been exhausted.
He didn't dare to think about whether he would have made the decision that he thought he was worthy of everyone if he had known that he would be embarrassed and unwilling today.
Liu Ying opened her eyes and looked at the couch in the other corner of the room. The little boy on the couch rolled over, and the quilt fell to the ground. Liu Ying couldn't help him pick up the quilt, so he had to say, "Fan'er, your quilt has fallen, quickly pick it up and cover it, don't catch a cold." ”
Xue Fan slept soundly and obviously didn't hear it.
Liu Ying sighed and thought to himself, maybe this kid didn't know that he was the son of King Chen for the rest of his life, and it was also his blessing. The quilt has fallen off, but I can still sleep soundly, and my life experience has changed, and I can live a wonderful life. Father-in-law, you placed Fan'er here, so that he could learn the medical skills of living and living with Master Xue, and help the common people in the future, it was indeed very thoughtful for him.
Xue Yiren didn't come here for a few days, and Liu Ying didn't remember the specific days. During this period, Xue Jiuming came once, sent him a few doses of medicine, handed them to Xue Fan for decoction, and left after a few words of greeting with him.
Liu Ying has been lying on the couch for a long time, unable to take care of himself, he used to be helped by Xue Yiren, but these days he was suddenly replaced by Xue Fan, although Xue Fan is not as meticulous as Xue Yiren, but it makes Liu Ying feel relaxed and comfortable.
In the few days that Xue Yiren was away, no one urged Xue Fan to get up early, and Xue Fan was finally able to sleep a few lazy nights. Liu Ying couldn't help but think that her childhood self was also very snooze. Since he practiced martial arts, his father-in-law would snooze with him every ten days, and he had calculated very accurately for sixteen years, which was really strict and benevolent.
At three o'clock in the sun, Xue Fan woke up in a daze. While washing, he asked Liu Ying: "Don't abandon my brother, when will my sister come back to cook for the two of us?" I've been awakened alive from hunger for eight days! ”
Liu Ying said: "Your sister is probably still angry with me, I don't know when she will come back." ”
Xue Fan glanced at him: "Didn't you say 'if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan'?" My sister has a bad temper, so you can put up with it! You ran away from our jobs, what good will it do you and me? ”
Liu Ying saw that Xue Fan's small appearance was very cute, so he joked: "I can bear her bad temper, but her cooking skills are not good, so I can't bear it." Haven't you had enough of the porridge she cooked? ”
Xue Fan let out a long sigh, and suddenly smiled evilly: "Then the porridge I cooked, can you bear it?" ”
Liu Ying replied with a smile: "I can't bear the porridge you cooked, but your temper is much better than your sister's." ”
Xue Fan cooked porridge, brought two pickles pickled by Xue Yiren in winter, and chatted with Liu Ying while eating.
Xue Fan suddenly asked him: "Don't abandon your brother, do you really want to marry my sister?" Although she has a bad temper, she also has her good! Don't you miss her when she's not here for eight days? ”
Liu Ying no longer joked with Xue Fan, but said with a straight face: "Fan'er, I have already married a wife, I can't provoke your sister anymore, and besides, I am already a crippled body, and I am not worthy of her." There are many ways to repay my kindness, and I will never forget your father, your sister, and your kindness to me, and I will definitely repay it. ”
Xue Fan nodded and said, "I know that you are a good person if you don't abandon your brother, but you are indeed not worthy of my sister in the way you are now." However, although I don't want you to be my brother-in-law, you will always be my favorite brother who never abandons. In the future, when I have a brother-in-law, I will definitely not like him as much as I like not to abandon my brother. ”
Liu Ying couldn't help but wonder: "Why?" ”
Xue Fan has his own set of theories: "Because no one in this world can be worthy of my sister, but only you are self-aware!" My future brother-in-law certainly doesn't have the self-knowledge of yours. ”
Liu Ying was amused by this little slippery head and laughed. Xue Fan rarely saw him happy, and couldn't help but be proud.
After eating, Xue Fan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the courtyard to shop and dry the herbs. While sorting out the herbs, he followed his sister's example, and went in and out of the small kitchen to prepare the next meal, and was very busy.
Liu Ying has been stroking the piano in the house, and the sound of the piano is like spring water hitting jade, like spring rain falling on the eaves, scattering in the mountains, attracting many birds in the forest.
Xue Fan was busy catching birds again, so he forgot about the firewood that was already burning in the small kitchen.
Liu Ying plucked the strings with his fingertips, fell into deep thought, and Xue Fan's heart was playful, and he drifted away from the birds......
Smoke suddenly billowed from the kitchen. By the time Liu Ying smelled the smoke, the fire was already quite small.
Liu Ying shouted out the window: "Fan'er! Where are you? Don't stay in the kitchenette to put out the fire! Come here! Fan'er! Fan'er! ”
Xue Fanzi was playing in the mountains and forests in the distance, and did not hear Liu Ying's call, nor did he look back to see the kitchen fire.
Liu Ying didn't see Xue Fan, worried that he was trapped in the small kitchen, so he immediately threw down the piano, propped his hands on the couch, vigorously turned his heavy body, and his feet fell to the ground. In a hurry, he couldn't care less, and suddenly stood up.
At that moment, Liu Ying suddenly felt the presence of her legs and feet...... Although it has no power, it has flesh and blood, and it is a long-lost consciousness!
Before he had time to be surprised, let alone happy, Liu Ying had already opened his legs and wanted to rush to the small kitchen to rescue Xue Fan.
However, his left leg was solid, but his right leg was not flexible, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
He has been practicing martial arts with his father-in-law since he was a child, and he can't remember the last time he wrestled. After the confusion, the pain in his knee was extremely invigorating.
After four years on the couch, at this time, his legs and feet were weak and weak, so he had to struggle to get up, feeling the difference between his left and right legs, and jumped and jumped towards the crutches in the house.
The polished bamboo and wood crutch was made for him by Xue Fan.
He knew that Xue Fan had always believed that since the two of them ate and lived together, Xue Fan would definitely be the first person to see him stand up, so Xue Fan told him: "Don't abandon your brother, when you stand up, Fan'er will definitely hand you crutches with her own hands." ”
Liu Ying limped on bamboo and wood crutches, shouted "Fan'er", and hurried to the small kitchen.
He covered his mouth and nose, rushed into the kitchen, looked around and didn't see Xue Fan trapped here, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to carry the iron bucket full of water to extinguish the fire, but he couldn't lift the iron bucket at all, so he had to give up and leave the kitchen before he was trapped here.
The fire burned in front of him, but he was powerless.
The small kitchen was not far from his and Xue Fan's house. Although the breeze is weak at this time, the fire may not be rampant, but there are still herbal books in the house that have not yet been compiled, a few medical books and a piano, and it is a pity if the fire affects the house. So Liu Ying walked back to the house with difficulty, moved out the few objects in the house one by one, and placed them under the pomegranate tree dozens of steps away from the small courtyard, pressing the books with the piano.
shouted "Fan'er" a few more times, but didn't listen to the answer, Liu Ying knew that Xue Fanying should have run away to play.
He stood alone on the wildflower-filled path, watching the smoke of the fire slowly engulf the small kitchen before he had time to take a closer look.
In the smoke of gunpowder in the past, he led the soldiers with swords and never hesitated.
Now the stove is on fire, but it can only stand quietly on crutches......
Father-in-law, since Xiao Ying has stood up, she has to bear the weight of life.
