They say it's sick

Chapter 8

After all, Li's mansion is rich, and the carriage he found in a hurry is spacious enough and exquisite.

Yun Zhi placed Yun Ji's body on the carriage, and covered it carefully with fox fur. He lowered his head and focused on his pale face. After a long time, he knelt down and kowtowed, then got up and got out of the carriage without looking back.

Chen Jin was waiting outside the car. Seeing Yun Zhi coming down, his face was hesitant to speak, and when he handed over the rein he had been holding in his hand, he finally couldn't help but say, "Otherwise, I'll accompany you."

"Then who do you want to escort eldest brother home..." Yunzhi glanced at him, then reached out to take the reins, "People from the Li residence?"

Chen Jin was silent for a while, and finally agreed helplessly: "Then you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Zhi, who was about to get on his horse, suddenly paused, and turned to look in the direction of Li's residence - Li Yan was slowly turning out after the steward.

Chen Jin glanced after him, and said in a low voice, "Is Li Xuan really arranging for this cheap son he just recognized to go to Youzhou?"

"As expected." Yun Zhi looked away.

Even Chen Jin could understand Li Xuan's careful thoughts, if Yunzhi was on a normal day, he would be willing to spend some energy to find some fun for him, but right now, Li Xuan is not worthy.

Yun Zhi got on the horse, her eyes were indifferent: "Go and perfunctory, I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute, although the fox fur earlier was stained with blood, it can at least keep out of the cold..." Chen Jin handed over the bag that he had been carrying all the time, "Be careful by yourself."

"Don't nag like this on the way back, big brother is afraid of making noise..." Yun Zhi smiled, took the burden on her back, and flicked the horsewhip, "Let's go..."

The streets and alleys in the early morning were empty and deserted, and the sound of horseshoes was very clear.

Li Yan looked over subconsciously, only seeing a figure speeding past.

"Have you packed it up, Mr. Li..." Chen Jin leaned against the carriage, nodded in greeting, "Let's go?"

Li Yan turned his head and recognized him as the one who was with Yunzhi before the scene of the fire that day: "Aren't you waiting for him?"

"Our son still has things to do, don't forget to hang up..." Chen Jin pointed to another empty carriage, "Please..."

Li Yan glanced at the empty streets, shrugged, turned and got into the carriage.

The journey from Pingzhou to Youzhou is not too far, and it only takes one day to go fast.Even though he didn't deliberately hurry up because of the carriage, it only took two days to arrive at Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion.

The messenger arrived earlier, the mourning hall was already prepared in the Hou's mansion, the mourning flags hung high outside the gate of the mansion, and the white paper lanterns swayed in the cold wind, before Li Yan even entered the door, he felt the lingering gloom and mist .

Yun Ji's body was welcomed in, Li Yan waited outside the gate for a while, Chen Jin changed into mourning clothes and went back: "Young Master Li, Lord Hou is here to invite you."

Before Li Yan could speak, Li Liang, who had been standing in front of him, had already responded, "Excuse me..."

Chen Jin glanced across their faces, raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned to lead the way.

Zhenyuan Hou Yunye is over fifty years old. Because of his years of martial arts practice, he is even younger than Li Xuan in appearance, but he doesn't have the roughness of a martial artist like Li Xuan. A little literati.

Only the temples are gray and gray, which looks very unsightly.

But in the end, he has been in the army for a long time, and his thoughts are deep. Even if he just lost his parents and children, he didn't show it on his face.

Only when he saw Li Yan, there seemed to be a moment of surprise in his eyes, and when Li Yan wanted to identify it, he disappeared without a trace.

With Li Liang's presence, Li Yan almost didn't need to speak. After saluting, he stood aside with his hands down, listening to Li Liang convey Li Xuan's greetings.

Li Xuan seems arrogant and irritable, but he is extremely tactful. Otherwise, he would not be able to grow from a groom to a general manager. Although he has not arrived at the moment, he has done a good job of saving face. He took out a letter written by Li Xuan.

Li Yan glanced at the letter, and he could guess how sincere and sympathetic the wording was from the thickness of the letter.

But Yun Ye didn't buy it.

He motioned to the steward standing aside to accept the letter, ignored Li Liang, looked at Li Yan, and said lightly: "I already know your father's intentions, and now the house is full of trivial matters, I will welcome you in two days. It's getting late, and I'm tired from traveling all the way, let's go to rest first."

His voice was low and calm, a little hoarse, but he could not refuse.

Li Yan didn't look at Li Liang's reaction, he bowed deeply, looked up at the mourning hall not far away, turned around and followed the servant of the Hou Mansion to the guest room.

This journey was really exhausting. Li Yan had not traveled such a long distance when he was so old. It is said that he followed Li Xuan from the capital to Pingzhou, but he had no memory of it when he was young.

Although he had been in the carriage for the past two days, the weather was cold and he hadn't recovered from his illness. He was exhausted after all the journey, so he fell down on the bed and fell asleep drowsily after entering the room.

During this sleep, the sky was dark and the sky was dark, and he seemed to return to that winter day more than ten years ago in the half-dream and half-awake. The young and ignorant, he sneaked into the garden to pick a bright red plum while no one was paying attention, and ran back there happily. An old but warm house, but my mother didn't know where she went.

There is only blood all over the ground, bright red and eye-catching, like the red plum in his hand.

"Mother..."

Li Yan whimpered, and suddenly felt something cold fall on his forehead, he opened his eyes suddenly, and heard a childish voice: "He's awake!"

Li Yan turned his head to the side, and found a child who looked to be only five or six years old sitting beside the bed, with a pair of big eyes shining brightly, which was inexplicably familiar.

"Mr. Li..." The servant who had sent Li Yan back earlier stood by the bed and heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw him wake up, "You finally woke up!"

Seeing that Li Yan was still in a daze, he added, "Before I came to deliver food, I found out that you had a fever when I saw that you couldn't wake up from your sleep. The doctor came just now, and the medicine is still boiling. You should take a rest first. I gonna go see!"

After finishing speaking, he said something to the child in a low voice, and then hurriedly retreated.

Consciousness gradually became clear, and Li Yan felt sore limbs and dizziness belatedly. It seemed that after the bumpy journey, the unhealed wind and cold returned.

It even brought back the nightmare that had been deliberately forgotten for many years.

He raised his hand and touched the corners of his eyes, where there were still tears that hadn't dried up.

"It's still hot!"

The cold touch came again, Li Yan raised his eyes, and saw the child half body leaning against the edge of the bed, stretching out his arms to touch his forehead.

"You..." Just as he was about to speak, the hoarse voice startled him. Before he could finish the second half of the sentence, the child put his hand on his shoulder, which was trying to get up, and said in a childlike voice, "Grandmother Said that if you are sick, you should rest well!"

Li Yan fell back on the pillow and rubbed his forehead: "Who are you?"

"I'm Yunshu." Seeing that Li Yan was no longer moving, the child sat back on the bed and looked at Li Yan with big eyes blinking.

Cloud hub?

The eldest grandson of Zhenyuan Hou Yunye, the son of the eldest son Yunji?

Li Yan has no experience dealing with such a big child. In the past, the children in the village would never provoke him——

It's because of Li Gui, and also because of his own deliberate promotion, but he doesn't have the patience to deal with these innocent brats.

Li Yan glanced out the window, it was dark outside, and he couldn't tell the time for a moment: "Why are you here?"

"You're sick..." Although Yun Shu is young, he speaks very clearly, "The master should take care of the guests when they are sick, but there are many people in the house, grandparents and grandparents who are not free, and mother does not know where to go, so I'm coming!"

Li Yan didn't know how long he had been in a coma, but it could be imagined that the Hou's mansion should be in a hurry now, Yunji's body returned to the mansion, and there should be an endless stream of people who came to express their condolences when the news spread.

But looking at Yun Shu's carefree appearance, he probably still doesn't know why these people came here.

What's more, he didn't know that his father, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, had unfortunately died.

Looking at those sparkling eyes, Li Yan suddenly remembered that that day when he heard Mrs. Li expressionlessly telling the news of his mother's sudden illness and passing away in front of the blood stains all over the floor, he was actually the same as Yun Shu in front of him. age.

Probably because illness always makes people's hearts soft, or because of the dusty nightmare just now, Li Yan reached out and touched Yun Shu's head.

Yun Shu was stunned for a moment, then pushed Li Yan's hand away almost immediately, and widened his eyes: "Little uncle said that you can't touch other people's heads casually!"

"Didn't you touch my forehead just now..." Li Yan still had no strength in his body, so he simply turned sideways, "Your little uncle..."

The next moment he remembered who the kid's little uncle was.

No wonder……

It may be because of his uncle and nephew, the Yun Shu in front of him is somewhat similar to Yun Zhi between his eyebrows and eyes.Especially those round and bright eyes are simply a replica of Yunzhi.

"You know my little uncle?" Yun Shu sat up straight and looked at Li Yan anxiously.

After all, it is a "great benefactor" who has exchanged names, so it should be counted as acquaintance.

But... Thinking of Li Fu's indifferent eyes when they met each other, Li Yan smiled lightly: "I know, but..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open, and the servant from just now hurried in with a food box: "The medicine is ready, Mr. Li, you have slept for too long, drink some porridge before taking medicine."

As soon as the lid of the food box was lifted, the bitter smell of the medicine spread immediately, Yun Shu, who originally wanted to help carry the medicine, immediately wrinkled his face, and even covered his nose, eyes full of disgust.

Li Yan laughed: "Are you afraid of taking medicine?"

"The medicine juice is so bitter!" Probably because he didn't want to be ridiculed, Yun Shu immediately retorted, "Little uncle is so powerful, he is afraid of drinking medicine!"

"Your little uncle is really... not surprising at all..." Li Yan stretched out his hand to the boy, "Give it to me..."

The servant was a little surprised, and carefully brought the medicine bowl over. Li Yan propped up the bed and half sat up, took the medicine bowl with both hands, and drank it down in two shocked eyes, without even frowning.

He handed back the empty bowl to the boy, and pinched Yun Shu's fleshy face: "In the future, you will know that as long as you can survive, suffering is nothing."
