Chapter 21: The Phantom Moon in the Water

"How can this be ......"

After listening to the old doctor's words, Xiao Yuexi was slightly distracted.

In the few days when Shen Yubai was recuperating from his illness, he was drowsy, but when he saw Xiao Yuexi bleeding and boiling medicine for himself, it was rare for him to have a good face for Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi's performance was not obvious on her face, but anyone could see that her steps were brisk in the past few days.

The short-term warmth is like a phantom moon in the water, Shen Yuexi is careful not to bear to reach out and destroy it, but it can't resist this is just a reflection that can be broken with a touch.

Shen Yubai, who has fully recovered, no longer remembers what happened when he was sick, forgot what Shen Yuexi did for him, and Xiao Yuexi's character will not take the initiative to mention it.

The old doctor could see at a glance that Shen Yuexi's situation in the Shen family was very poor.

is also a daughter, Shen Yuerong is chubby and cute, and she has never done heavy work at first glance.

Look at Shen Yuexi again, the shape is skinny, there are not a few taels of meat, and it falls down like a bamboo pole, and her body is covered with scaly wounds.

The old doctor was kind-hearted, and he also prescribed Shen Yuexi a side medicine to condition her body.

Seeing that Shen Yuexi was pitiful, the old doctor thought about it and said, "I still have a recipe here, you can take it back and let your brother take it, first, it can recuperate the body later, and second, it may be useful for amnesia." ”

The old doctor finished explaining and left.

The prescription prescribed this time couldn't be caught in their small village, and Shen Yuexi had to go to the town.

Returning home with the prescription, Shen Yubai was sleeping on the bed, and Shen Yuerong was staring at the side, her eyes rolling around, not knowing what she was thinking.

Hearing Shen Yuexi's return, she trotted to the yard.

"Where have you been?"

Shen Yuerong looked back and forth on Shen Yuexi with a pair of eyes, as if to make sure if she had secretly gone out to eat something delicious.

Shen Yuexi explained that she was going to find the old doctor, "By the way, is my brother awake?" ”

Shen Yuerong suddenly lacked interest, and her tone became a little impatient, "No." ”

Accustomed to Shen Yuerong's attitude, Shen Yuexi didn't care, rubbed her head and instructed: "I'm going to go to the town market to buy medicinal herbs for my brother in a while, if my brother and my father ask, you remember to tell them." ”

"And when I'm not there, you have to take care of your brother, if he wakes up, remember to ...... water"

"I know, I know, you can go, it's so long-winded!"

Shen Yuerong waved her hand impatiently, but she didn't know if she had listened.

"Okay, then I'll go."

Xiao Yuexi kept smiling because her brother regained consciousness, and she went to the town with a bamboo basket on her back.

Shen Yubai, who was outside the light curtain, looked at Xiao Yuexi's back and suddenly understood something.

If I remember correctly, that day happened to be around the Lantern Festival, Shen Yubai thought that Shen Yuexi was going to see the lanterns, and thought that she was pretending to be sick before, so she was even more angry with Shen Yuexi.

Did something happen in the meantime that he didn't know?

Shen Yubai raised his hand and gently put it on the corner of his forehead, trying to remember what happened at that time.

I don't know if it was the effect of amnesia at that time, about the memory of that time, Shen Yubai was very vague.

He vaguely remembered that he took Yuerong to see the lanterns and happened to run into Shen Yuexi.

That picture appeared in Shen Yubai's eyes, it was Shen Yuexi who sneaked out to see the lanterns.

Shen Yubai had a hunch that he was afraid that he had misunderstood Shen Yuexi again in this matter.

At that time, Shen Yuexi was obviously going to grab medicine for him, and he went to see the lanterns.

Shen Yubai's eyes looked at the light curtain with some eagerness, wondering about the cause and effect of this matter.

After Shen Yuerong saw Shen Yuexi leave, she didn't take care of her brother as promised, ran to play by herself, and from time to time took out small snacks from her sleeve and stuffed them into her mouth, eating happily.

In the room, Shen Yubai slowly sat up from the bed.

After this awakening, he felt that his whole person was full of energy.

"Yuerong, why are you here alone?"

Shen Yubai walked out slowly, and saw a panicked Shen Yuerong hiding something in her sleeve, but he didn't care.

"Brother, you're awake!"

Shen Yuerong hid the dried fruit, and then trotted in front of Shen Yubai as she pretended to be worried, "I'm worried about you!" ”

Shen Yubai held the corner of his forehead, "What happened, I feel like I've been lying down for a long time." ”

"Brother, don't you remember?"

Stunned by the question, Shen Yubai shook his head blankly.

"Oh, brother, you suddenly fell into a coma two days ago, it was Yuerong who has been taking care of you, and the bad brother still doesn't remember!"

Shen Yuerong stomped her feet in place angrily as she spoke, not only was it not lethal when she got angry, but it also gave people a cute and cute feeling.

Shen Yubai's heart melted when he saw it, and he raised his hand dotingly and rubbed it on Shen Yuerong's head.

"By the way, what about Shen Yuexi?"

Shen Yubai looked around and asked casually.

"Sister, ......" Shen Yuerong pursed her lips as she spoke, her face was full of gloom, "Sister went to see the lanterns, didn't take me there, let me take care of my brother at home." ”

Then she coquettishly asked Shen Yubai as compensation and took her to the market to see the lanterns.

Shen Yubai couldn't resist her sister's coquettishness, and felt inexplicably weak, but she still nodded in agreement.

……

The indignant monk was furious when he saw this scene: "This Shen Yuerong is really excessive, and she can take credit quickly, but Shen Yuexi didn't mention anything about her, and poured a basin of dirty water on Shen Yuexi!" ”

"I really want to slap her twice for Shen Yuexi, if I am framed like this, I will definitely let the other party not be able to eat and walk around, why should I be bullied so much!"

This is not to save any face for Shen Yubai.

Shen Yubai couldn't refute anything, and even he began to doubt whether everything in the past was done correctly.

……

It is the Lantern Festival, the market is very lively, along the way there is an endless stream of people, on both sides of the hawkers shouting, all kinds of stalls, a dazzling array of dazzling.

"Brother, look, it's a lantern! You see everyone else has it, and I want it too~"

Shen Yubai was also strapped for money, but Yuerong's request was unbearable for him to refuse.

"Okay, my brother will buy it for you."

Shen Yuerong smiled and narrowed her eyes, and said coquettishly: "My brother is so good to me~"

The brother and sister didn't go shopping for long, and they collided with Shen Yuexi on a street corner.

"Brother, Yuerong, why are you ......?"

Shen Yuexi was stunned, and when she saw the beautiful lantern in Yuerong's hand, she was a little envious.

Just as he was about to speak, Shen Yubai saw Shen Yuexi, and his expression sank, "Shen Yuexi, I thought I had misunderstood you before, it seems that Pharmacist Tian is right, you are really pretending to be sick!" ”

Shen Yuexi's lips moved, and her expression was lonely.

She didn't speak, her eyes down to hide the disappointment in her eyes.

Then she slowly stepped forward and handed the purchased medicinal herbs to Shen Yubai.

"Brother, I'...... I'll go back first. ”

She spoke, her voice dry and hoarse, with an indescribably low voice.

The stunned young man looked down at the medicinal herbs in his hand, as if he was a little stunned.

Shen Yubai is proficient in pharmacology, so he naturally distinguishes that these herbs have the effect of conditioning the body.

He felt unwell, but he didn't know why, he just thought that he was too tired and fainted.
