The cold wind was howling, the street was deserted, and there were almost no pedestrians in sight, only the yellow leaves on the ground danced in the air with the raging cold wind, rampaging everywhere, Yan Junde tightened his neckline and quickened the pace under his feet.

"Uncle, okay, give a few copper coins, I haven't eaten for three days!" At this time, a homeless man in ragged clothes and shivering in the cold wind appeared out of nowhere and stopped in front of Yan Junde.

"Go away! I didn't...", Yan Junde glanced at the homeless man with a look of disgust, and just wanted to scold, but he closed his mouth again, and stretched out his hand into his arms......

One day four months later, early in the morning.

"I said Xiaoshi, why are you sad in the early morning, let me see, is there a female cat scratched somewhere?" , Mao Guangjian looked at Shi Yunning, who had a bitter gourd face, and said with a smile.

"Alas! Don't mention it! Not my stupid son! Shi Yuning shook his head and said.

"What's wrong?" , Nie Xiaohu asked with a smile.

"The night before yesterday, he ran to a watermelon field not far from my house to steal watermelons, picked one, picked it up and was just about to leave, when he saw an old man coming towards him from a distance, this little guy ran away, who knew that the old man behind him shouted at him, 'Little guy, slow down, don't fall, want to eat melons and come back tomorrow, I will send you two!' , these two goods really went again yesterday, and came back with a limp......"

"Hahahaha......", the happy laughter of Nie Xiaohu and others sounded in the hall of the fast catching room.

"Tiger head, I want to take a leave!" After laughing, Liu Zhenxiao sighed slightly and said.

"What's wrong with you?" , Nie Xiaohu saw that Liu Zhenxiao's face was wrong, and asked with a frown.

"I have a cousin, named Yan Junren, is in the leather business, the business is very big, the family lives in Renfeng District, because he is busy with business, his health has not been very good, four months ago he wanted to go out to relax, but he met a mountain bandit on the way, as a result, a subordinate who accompanied him was killed by the mountain bandits, he ran back and picked up a life.

But since then, he has had a serious illness, has been bedridden, and later contracted tuberculosis, seeing that day by day is not as good as day, I heard a few days ago that he is dying, so I want to go and see, maybe this is the last side. ”

"Well, it should!" , Nie Xiaohu's expression also dimmed, nodded and said, "Why don't we go with you, it's nothing anyway." ”

"Then thank you Tiger Boss!" , Liu Zhen Xiao Qiang squeezed out a smile.

"Uncle Cousin!" As soon as Liu Zhenxiao entered the courtyard door, he nodded at a middle-aged man who came out of the living room.

"Zhen Xiao, you're here!" , the middle-aged man nodded.

"Who are these?"

"Oh, let me introduce, this is my eldest cousin Yan Junde, and Yan Junren is my second cousin."

"Uncle Cousin, this is our chief catcher!"

Liu Zhenxiao then introduced Cao Xiaohui and others one by one.

"Outside the strict staff, look up for a long time!" , Nie Xiaohu and the others clasped their fists and said.

"Oops! It turned out that Master Nie was here, it was really a disappointment, forgive your sins! Forgiveness! Yan Junde hurriedly nodded and said.

"Hurry inside, please!"

After everyone entered the living room, the guests and hosts sat down, and their own maidservants served fragrant tea.

"Outside of Yan Yuan, I heard Xiao Liuzi say ......", Nie Xiaohu took a sip of tea and said.

"Oops! What is not an outsider, I am a doctor, where is the outside? Yan Junde waved his hand and said.

"Doctor?" , Nie Xiaohu was a little confused.

"Didn't Zhen Xiao say it?" , Yan Junde also frowned.

"Tiger Boss, I really forgot to say it!" , Liu Zhenxiao scratched his head embarrassedly.

"You kid!" , Yan Junde glanced at Liu Zhenxiao with disgust, then smiled again and said, "Then I'll introduce myself!" ”

"Contemptible Yan Junde, is Yan Junren's brother, is a doctor, his home is not far from here, three streets away, my father died of illness five years ago, and my mother is long gone.

My younger brother Junren was a keen businessman and often followed his father out into business, so after my father's death, he took over my father's business, and I divided some of the family property and opened a small pharmacy on my own. ”

"I see!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded.

"Uncle Eldest Cousin, how is my second cousin?" , Liu Zhenxiao asked worriedly.

"It's not good", Yan Junde shook his head, frowned, and sighed slightly and said, "He has been frightened since he escaped back from the mountain bandits, infected with the wind cold, and his body has been very weak, and then unfortunately contracted tuberculosis, and has been lying in bed for more than three months, day by day, this is ...... at the sight", as he spoke, Yan Junde's eyes were slightly red.

"You all blame me! If I hadn't seen him busy with business and being overworked, and persuaded him to go out for a walk, he wouldn't have met a mountain bandit! ”

"Doctor Yan, don't be pessimistic, your younger brother Taji has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely ......", Nie Xiaohu was about to say a few words of comfort to him, but was interrupted by a subordinate who suddenly ran in.

"Big man, it's not good! Sir, he! ”

"Sir, what's wrong with him?" , Yan Junde was startled and stood up.

Nie Xiaohu and the others were also slightly shocked in their hearts, as if they had a premonition of bad news.

"Master, he's breathing!"

"What? Junren! Yan Junde let out a sad cry and ran into the back hall.

"Second cousin!" , Liu Zhenxiao also shouted and followed.

"Xiao Maozi, go and call the servants to do a routine check", Nie Xiaohu whispered.

"Got it", Mao Guangjian agreed, turned around and went out.

Nie Xiaohu and the others glanced at each other and slowly followed behind Liu Zhenxiao.

In front of the door of a separate bedroom in the backyard, five or six maids and servants had gathered at this moment, and everyone was standing there silently with their heads down, only the sad cries of Yan Junde and Liu Zhenxiao came from the room.

Nie Xiaohu and the others stood in front of the door, waiting silently, no one spoke, and the air was silent.

After about a meal, Liu Zhenxiao and Yan Junde walked out, both of them with red eyes and sad faces.

"People can't be resurrected after death, please mourn and change", Nie Xiaohu said regretfully.

Liu Zhenxiao and Yan Junde nodded at the same time.

It didn't take long for Mao Guangjian to arrive with the servants, and after the servants entered the house, they quickly completed the inspection and retreated.

"My lord, the deceased did die of tuberculosis, and there is no problem," he said.

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded and whispered, "It's hard work, go back and rest." ”

"Thank you, sir!" , clenched his fists, turned and left.

"You, go and change the shroud for the master, set up a mourning hall to pay tribute for three days, and bury him in three days", Yan Junde waved his hand weakly at the subordinates.

"My poor brother, he didn't even make a home, so he went!" , Yan Junde wiped the wetness from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
