Until noon, Tong Shuangxi didn't see anyone looking for her.

At lunchtime, Mrs. Wang came back with some mushrooms, bamboo shoots and other fresh things, and was also taken aback when she saw that Tong Shuangxi was still at home.

"The water spilled by the married girl!"

Mrs. Wang muttered, and asked Tong Shuangxi to wash the mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Mrs. Wang made mixed noodles, rolled noodles, and served them with some mushrooms and wild vegetables, and ate them so much that Tong Shuangxi was sweating profusely and didn't want to put down the sea bowl in his hand.

"Nizi, go back and have a look! Your brother has been sick for half a month, and the two people in charge said that they were tuberculosis, and they have been making trouble for a while! After lunch, seeing Tong Shuangxi about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand and snatched it, and then said.

Brothers?

It is the brother of Tong Shuangxi, the owner of this body.

Tong Shuangxi thought in his heart, so he heard the princess say again: "Your father and mother died early, so you two brothers and sisters will be left, who will help if you don't help it!" ”

Tong Shuangxi was shocked in his heart, it turned out that Tong Shuangxi was still an orphan.

Seeing that Tong Shuangxi was still standing there in a daze, Mrs. Wang coughed vigorously.

Tong Shuangxi came back to his senses, thanked Mrs. Wang and went to Tong's house in the east of the village.

At ten o'clock at noon, it was the hottest time, and the average family had already eaten lunch and rested in the shade of the house.

The three rooms in front of Tong's house are the residences of Tong Laozhu and Tong Wang's family, Tong Shuangxi thought about it, and did not enter the door from the main house, but took a detour to the back yard.

There was a corner gate on the west side of the backyard, and Tong Shuangxi saw that there was no one in the yard, so he secretly followed the root of the wall into the yard.

The courtyard is covered with houses on all sides, the same as Tong Laozhu and Tong Wang's house in front, three main rooms, and one ear room on the left and right sides.

At the junction of the east and west houses and the north houses, two rooms were erected, one used as a kitchen and utility room, and the other was fenced with poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc.

With the sound of these domestic animals, Tong Shuangxi is not worried that his footsteps will be heard.

At this time, Tong Shuangxi had no memory at all, and he didn't know who lived in this courtyard, so he could only follow the root of the wall, room by room, and eavesdrop.

Entering along the corner door is the West House, Tong Shuangxi slowly moved to the window of the West House, pricking up his ears and listening.

Westinghouse was silent, and after a while, a thin voice asked, "Mother, help me see how to open the needles at the small roots of this bamboo leaf!" ”

Then came Xiao Wang's voice: "Needlework requires careful care and boldness, and this initial needle will find the boundary of the ground, and then pierce it down...... Once you've set your spot, ...... slowly! ”

The voice was small and warm, and Tong Shuangxi suddenly remembered his mother.

Tong Shuangxi couldn't think too much, so he immediately listened to the wall room by room.

In the remaining rooms, there was either snoring or the sound of children quarrelling, and it was not until the easternmost west wing that Tong Shuangxi heard the sound of coughing one after another.

I think this is the house where my so-called brother lives.

From the conversation of Tong Laozhu and several people that day, it can be seen that this Tong Laozhu has three sons, the eldest Tong is in charge of the family, the second Tong is in charge of wealth, and the third is in charge of ten thousand.

Now it seems that the eldest son of the Tong Zhang's family lives in the south house, and the Tong Zhangwan family lives in the west house, and at this time, the east house in front of Tong Shuangxi should be the house of the dead second child Tong Zhangcai.

Listening to the coughing sound in the room one after another, Tong Shuangxi's heart tightened.

The cough on a summer day is like this, don't really hurt tuberculosis!

In ancient times, the medical skills were backward, and the Tong family was just an ordinary Zhuang family, if they really had tuberculosis, it would be too difficult to survive.

"Who?"

As he pondered, a boy's voice rang out.

Tong Shuangxi was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around and entered the house.

The middle room is the main hall like the old pillar house in front, but at this time it is full of scythes, shovels and other farm tools, as well as some tables and cabinets with missing arms and legs.

It doesn't look like a place for people to live at all, but like a utility room, and the smell of wet mold goes straight to Tong Shuangxi's head and nose.

Tong Shuangxi frowned and cautiously entered the room on the west side.

"Ahem!"

As soon as he entered the western room, Tong Shuangxi was so smoked by the smell inside that he coughed.

The combination of heat, musty, and rancid smell is really unbearable to breathe.

The room, like the outside hall, was littered with miscellaneous items, except for a double-sized wooden bed in the innermost part.

In the thick quilt on the wooden bed, a boy with only one face was visible.

The boy covered the quilt all over, and only after seeing clearly that it was Tong Shuangxi in his exposed eyes, he suddenly relaxed his vigilance.

"Sister! cough cough cough ...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”

Before the sister finished shouting, the boy couldn't help coughing again, and his little face was even more red and purple. Tong Shuangxi hurriedly stepped forward and helped the boy up.

"Cough like this, what's ......!"

"Don't sit up" didn't say anything, Tong Shuangxi's tears fell.

The boy's clothes in the quilt were all wet, I don't know if he was sweaty or urinated, and his body was like that soft noodle, and he could only get up by relying on Tong Shuangxi's strength.

"Where's the milk? Does she not care about you too? ”

In Tong Shuangxi's opinion, the Tong Wang family in this family really feels sorry for him, why is his younger brother like this, but no one cares.

"Ahem! Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”

The boy who sat up felt better, coughed, and gradually calmed down.

"Uncle's cough...... Xiaoliu is just five months old, cough cough...... said that I couldn't get sick, but my grandmother only dared to ask me through the window, and the aunt said cough cough...... Say take care of me, and the milk will ...... Ahem...... Leave me alone! ”

After saying a word, the boy's strength seemed to be drained, and he went limp again.

Tong Shuangxi hurriedly let the boy lie on his shoulder, looked at the beads of sweat on his forehead, looked around, except for a few bowls of food that couldn't tell what it was, there was not even saliva.

"Have you eaten lunch?" Tong Shuangxi asked.

The boy shook his head: "Uncle didn't eat the food on my table...... Only...... Just say it's over...... Send me again! ”

Tong Shuangxi was furious, not to mention that this rancid food can't be eaten, but to say that the child in front of him doesn't even have the strength to get up, let alone get out of bed to eat!

Abuse of the elderly and children was the most despicable thing for Tong Shuangxi in his previous life.

"Don't be afraid, my sister is here, my sister will take care of you!"

As he spoke, Tong Shuangxi's tears fell again.

Crying and touching the forehead of the boy on his shoulder, seeing that he did not have a fever, and then looked at the ground next to the bed and the mattress quilt and there was no vomit, Tong Shuangxi relieved his mind a little.

Tong Shuangxi looked into the room, slowly moved the boy to the head of the bed, let him lie down, and prepared to open the window.

"Don't... Ahem... The eldest aunt is not allowed to open the window...... Do you want to cough it up...... Otherwise, she'll curse ......! ”

Tong Shuangxi's hand paused, and then he pushed hard, opening all two windows.
