Chapter 13: Sick
"Master, why didn't Sister Hongdou come today?"
The little girl with pigtails looked left and right for a while, and finally couldn't help but raise her head and ask.
Li Yunlan paused, a little stunned. At this time, other children echoed and asked for the news of red beans.
"Hmm...... Maybe there's something delayed at home. ”
Li Yunlan replied vaguely, but he was actually a little worried. Since the last time the two spoke face-to-face, Azuki has been here once. At first, he was still hiding, as if he was afraid that someone would find out. Later, he still couldn't look at it, so he went out and invited her into the house.
And the little black girl seems to be born with a child, and the children in the school are not as disgusted as they are when they see Ximei. One by one, they smiled and moved their positions to let her sit, and the red bean sister screamed very jubilantly.
On that day, the whole school was filled with an atmosphere of joy. That day was the happiest day he had ever had since he took over from his father to teach the children. After class that day, the little black girl praised him for being so good and knowing so much knowledge. He smiled lightly. He didn't tell her, but it was actually the worst class he taught. Because someone was there, he was a little absent-minded.
On that day, he watched her be the last to leave. watched the small figure disappear, and was still reluctant to retract his gaze. At dinner in the evening, he was called by his mother several times, but he didn't notice it with a stupid look on his own face. In this way, he was inevitably reprimanded by his father. If this is in normal times, he will definitely wake up and reflect. But at that moment, he didn't know it at all, and all he remembered in his mind was that a certain little black girl was holding a book and secretly looking at his cute appearance.
What was supposed to be a good beginning will definitely have a happy ending. He also thought that the two of them would get along like this for the time being, and when they got acquainted and understood, if the little black girl still didn't understand his feelings, then he would explain it directly. At that point, he didn't care whether the little black girl was stupid or stupid, as soon as the words came out, he made up his mind to marry her.
He imagined all the possible things that could happen to the two of them in the future, imagined all the reactions that the little black girl should have, and he was fully prepared, but he didn't expect it, but it was only the day when they should meet for the second time, and the little black girl did not appear.
"Master, is Sister Hongdou sick?"
The little girl asked again, it seems that she should like red beans very much on weekdays. Li Yunlan frowned inadvertently, hiding the anxiety in his heart, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, good girl." You know that Sister Hongdou's family runs a medicine shop, and no matter who is injured in the village, they have to go to her for treatment. Maybe Sister Hongdou is busy today, so I can't come here to listen to the class with you. ”
"That's right......"
The little girl nodded suspiciously, and finally stopped asking, obediently picked up the book and continued to study. Li Yunlan sighed lightly, because he was absent-minded, so he ended the class early. After watching the children all jump out of the school and go home, I thought about it for a long time, and finally I was not at ease. So he put down the book in his hand, tidied up his clothes a little, and walked in the direction of Hongdou's house.
It's all the same village, and the roads are naturally familiar. It didn't take much time for Li Yunlan to arrive at the pharmacy opened by Hongdou's family. He really thought that the little black girl was busy at home, so he didn't go to his side to listen to the class. But at this moment, he had already arrived at the door, and looking at the closed door of the pharmacy, he suddenly felt nervous.
Could it be that he went up the mountain with her aunt to collect medicine?
Li Yunlan raised his hand and hesitated for a moment, thought and thought, and finally knocked on the wooden door. He thought that if Aunt Gui came to open the door, he would say that he would come to grab some medicine for his father to cure his cough. If it was Hongdou who came to open the door, he asked her directly why she didn't come to class.
He is used to thinking about things, and only after thinking about everything that is possible can he act. So after he knocked on the door for a while, when he thought that the little black girl was probably really going up the mountain with her aunt to collect medicine, a fairy-like woman opened the door. After seeing him, he blinked, with a confused expression.
"Who are you?"
I heard my mother mention it earlier, saying that it was the mother who took in two outsiders. Originally, they didn't quite agree, after all, Shattered Yunyuan was independent, and it was because of isolation from the world that he had been safe and sound for so many years. And the arrival of outsiders is like throwing a few pebbles into the calm water of a lake, and who knows what kind of things will happen?
Later, the village chief came forward to solve the matter, so with the village chief's assurance, everyone didn't say anything. Now it seems that the woman in front of her is probably one of the two outsiders, right? No wonder the village chief will make a guarantee, Li Yunlan secretly thought, such a bright and beautiful woman, people can't think of what kind of evil things she will do.
"I am the master who teaches in the North Village School, and my name is Li Yunlan. ”
Politely answer the question first, Li Yunlan doesn't have much of the heart to care about outsiders or outsiders, bad people and bad people. What he was thinking about now was a little black girl who skipped class.
As soon as his words fell, Mu Yan's eyes lit up instantly. It turns out that this is the person that Hongdou likes? Hmm, Si Swenwen, polite and polite, really good.
"Mr. Li is here to find red beans?"
Mu Yan looked the person up and down slightly, and then asked directly. Li Yunlan was stunned, as if he didn't expect the other party to say this. Later, he remembered that the little black girl couldn't hide her thoughts, and then thought that the girl in front of him was probably happy with the little black girl these days, so he didn't beat around the bush and nodded to himself.
"Well, I'm really here to find red beans. Sudden visit, it may have been a bit abrupt, but ......"
Before Li Yunlan's words were finished, he was suddenly dragged into the house by Mu Yan. How could a nerd have thought that a fairy-looking girl would be able to make the rude gesture of tugging at his arm? I was a little stunned at the moment, and I was at a loss for what to do.
Seeing that he didn't move, Mu Yan couldn't help but say, "Why are you still stunned? Aren't you here to find red beans? Then come with me." Red Bean is sick and has been feeling a little unwell since last night. Aunt Gui is showing her, it's really time for you to come, that girl may be a little energetic when she sees you. God knows that a person who is so lively on weekdays suddenly lies weak in bed, which is really worrying. ”
Mu Yan said eagerly, and Li Yunlan couldn't hear anything since he heard the words "Hongdou is sick......
It's not that he's busy, it's not that he's collecting medicine, and it's not that he skips class and doesn't want to see him. Is it sick...... Such a spirited little girl, can she get sick?
Subconsciously, Li Yunlan's heart suddenly had an indescribable sense of foreboding. , this feeling came inexplicably, and it made him tremble. So he couldn't help but increase his footsteps to keep up with Mu Yan's pace, and silently began to pray to God.
