Fortunately met when I was not married

Chapter 15
Chapter 13
Just as Si Tian walked past him, suddenly, Aunt Yang's son ran over from the opposite side, with a hurried expression on his face.Seeing Si Tian, ​​he was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Miss Si, you came back just in time, your mother vomited blood again, I'll call Dr. Zhou, you should go home and have a look."

Si Tian's expression changed, and he hurried to Aunt Yang's house.Shang Yu was stunned for a moment, stood at the intersection and hesitated for a while, then hurriedly followed.

Si Tian rushed into the room and saw his mother lying beside the bed with half of her body leaning out of the bed. In an iron basin beside the bed, dark red blood exuded a strong stench.

She has seen this scene many times, but she was still frightened and wanted to cry. She forced herself to calm down and stepped forward to help her mother, saying repeatedly: "Doctor Zhou will be here soon, mother, please bear with me. It's okay, it's okay. "She didn't know whether she was comforting her mother or herself, feeling flustered and helpless.Every time she encounters such a situation, she is terrified to death. Her mother is her only relative, although she is sick and weak, she is always on her heart.In just one year, she lost her father and her younger brother. She couldn't imagine what would happen to her without her mother?

Xi Ran leaned weakly on her daughter's thin arms, as if her body had been hollowed out, she was struggling to breathe, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

The earthen house was low, and Shang Yu stood bent over at the door, looking a bit cramped.After a little hesitation, he stepped into the house and walked to Xi Ran's bed.

A shadow loomed in front of him, Si Tian raised his head and saw him, startled!Just now, under the flustered state, he didn't even realize that he was following him.She didn't bother to greet him, nor was she in the mood to talk to him. She just looked at her mother and waited anxiously for the doctor.

He took a step closer, bent down to support Xi Ran against the head of the bed, and then glanced at Si Tian.She didn't have the heart to look at him at all, her eyes were locked on her mother's face anxiously, her expression suddenly became melancholy and mature, and she seemed to be different from the bright and pure girl who was smiling sweetly at the intersection just now.

He didn't know what happened, but something seemed to stir his heart suddenly.By coincidence, he really wanted to reach out and caress between her brows. There seemed to be a small word Sichuan tangled between her brows, and it seemed to reach his heart, making him very uncomfortable. .

Xi Ran breathed a sigh of relief, saw Shang Yu in front of the bed, and asked in surprise, "Who is this?"

Si Tian glanced at him, the faint tears in her eyes made her bright eyes have a kind of sad and smoky sparkle, and the gloomy ripples seemed to spread over his heart, and he clearly felt the apex of his heart move, followed by a heavy blow It seems that something fell there.

After a moment of daze and trance, he said generously, "My name is Shang Yu, and I am Si Tian's senior brother."

Xi Ran nodded, wanted to say something more but had no strength at all, closed her eyes and panted.

Shang Yu asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with your mother?"

She looked sad and said in a low voice: "The doctor said it was consumption."

He frowned slightly, glanced at the blood in the basin, and asked, "Often?"

Si Tian nodded, tears were rolling in his eyes, but he tried his best to swallow them back.It was the first time he saw such a look.She never did this when he hit her palm.This kind of her actually made him feel tangled and unable to breathe.He doesn't know what's wrong with him, is he so soft-hearted that he can't see a person's tears?Or, just can't see her tears?

He jumped in shock, wanting to push this flashing thought away.This sudden, spontaneous thought actually made him a little flustered.

"I'll go back and ask Sister Su to come and take a look." After he finished speaking, he got up and left, as if something was about to be entangled in his heart a moment later.

When she raised her eyes, his tall and straight figure flashed at the door, and he had already stepped out of the door.

Half an hour later, Doctor Zhou hurried over and prescribed the same prescription as before.Si Tian suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Zhou, can you prescribe some good medicine, my mother seems to have no effect after taking it."

Doctor Zhou didn't say anything.After he walked into the yard with the medicine box, he said to Si Tian in a low voice: "Miss Si, you go around and ask, is tuberculosis cured?"

This sentence, he said it bluntly, it was so cruel to her ears, and tears burst into tears in an instant.

He couldn't bear it, and comforted him against his will: "Take it up slowly, maybe it will get better."

Si Tian wiped away his tears, took the prescription and ran to the small pharmacy at the entrance of the village, bought the medicine and hurried back.After soaking the medicine in a jar and boiling it for a while, Shang Yu took Sister Su into the courtyard.

Si Tian stood up and looked at Sister Su, feeling a little extravagant hope in his heart, even if he couldn't be cured, it would be nice if he could vomit less blood.

Sister Su hurriedly asked: "Is your mother in the house?"

Si Tian led them into the house.Sister Su first looked at the blood in the basin, and then felt her pulse.Then he asked about the origin and symptoms of Xi Ran's illness, and fell silent.

Si Tian waited anxiously, while Sister Su's face was calm but serious.

She thought about it for a while, and said to Si Tian: "In my opinion, your mother's symptoms do seem to be consumption, but they also seem to be poisoned."

Si Tian asked in surprise, "Poisoned?"

Sister Su nodded: "Yes, because I often deal with poison, I think her symptoms are very similar. But it's been a long time, but I can't tell what kind of poison it is. Think about it, what did you eat before?"

Si Tian pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Sister Su, my family used to be very rich, and there were more than a dozen cooks alone. There are many kinds of drinks, and there are many people who handle food. Now If you ask me, I really don’t know where to start.”

Xi Ran whispered: "Girl, I never go out of the house to eat, and I am very kind to the servants. No one in the house should poison me, right?"

Si Tian nodded: "Sister Su, my father and mother have a very good relationship. There are no disputes or jealousy among big families in the house. I really can't think of anyone who would harm my mother."

Suddenly, Xi Ran's expression changed drastically, and he said to Si Tian, ​​"Xiao'an, could it be the same?"

Si Tian felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but doubt: "Sister Su, I have a younger brother who has the same symptoms as my mother. He has passed away. Could it be poisoning too?"

"It is very likely that a child's natural resistance is much weaker."

Si Tian's heart ached and flustered.The most embarrassing thing is, if it is poisoning as Sister Su said, she can't think of it, who will harm them?
Sister Su said: "I'm just guessing. I don't dare to confirm whether it is poisoned or not. How about this, I will prepare some medicine to detoxify and purify the blood first. If your mother takes it and it works, it means that it is very likely to be poisoned." .”

Si Tian nodded with tears in his eyes, Sister Su got up and went outside, looked at the boiled herbs in the medicine pot and said softly: "Don't be too anxious, take this medicine first, it's nourishing anyway, I'll go back and make some medicine for the merchant Bring the rain down."

The mountain wind is cool and cool, and there seems to be rain brewing secretly.When he stepped out of the courtyard door, he couldn't help looking back. She was standing in front of the house, charming and pitiful, her eyes were shining like smoke and mist under her lightly locked black eyebrows.He suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart, and it spread out without bounds.

In the evening, it rained.

Listening to the sound of rain ticking under the eaves, Si Tian felt very anxious.Every time my mother vomited blood, she was very weak, and she was so sleepy that she didn't even have the energy to speak. The terrible silence in the room made people panic.

It's raining and the mountain road is difficult to walk, will he still come?Should she go back first, go to Sister Su to get the medicine in person, and deliver it tomorrow morning?
She was thinking wildly, when there was a soft knock at the courtyard door, she got up in a hurry, and when she came to the door, a slender figure flashed in from the courtyard door.He still came after all, she was inexplicably moved and forced a smile at him.

He put away the umbrella, and when he saw her standing at the door, he seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then lowered his eyes and handed over a small box.

"Sister Su was in a hurry, so I prepared a few pills and took one pill a day."

"Thank you, senior brother." Without taking a closer look at him, she hurriedly turned around and entered the room, poured hot water and gave her mother a pill.

Xi Ran took the medicine, rested for a while and gasped for breath: "Tian'er, you go back first, it's not easy to leave after dark. Aunt Yang is here, don't worry."

Si Tian was reluctant to let go, and was very worried, but as a disciple, he didn't dare to be too casual with other people's money, so he nodded.

"Mother, I'll go down the mountain to see you when I'm free."

"Go ahead, don't worry about me, just take care of yourself."

After stepping out of the room, she suddenly found that Shang Yu hadn't left, but was standing under the eaves with an umbrella.The rain fell from the umbrella, and he quietly looked at the rain curtain. His profile was resolute and handsome, and the hand holding the umbrella was thin and slender, full of strength. At this moment, she had an extravagant wish. If she had a brother like him In this way, how good it would be.

A curtain of rain and mist was hazy, and his tall body stood like a green hill, like a picture scroll, which suddenly aroused a deep dependence in her heart.

"Eldest brother, why didn't you leave?" She asked in a low voice, she was actually glad that he was waiting for her, because Aunt Yang's house only had one umbrella, and she was really embarrassed to take it away.

Looking back, he was very surprised at her asking such a question, waiting for her naturally, why is it so strange?He stretched out the umbrella and covered her body, the movement was also natural.

The two stepped into the rain.

The mountain rain is like smoke, and the mountains are caged in the twilight, like thick ink.

He held an umbrella to cover her whole body.The mountain wind was blowing, the rain and smoke were pouring in, stirring up the worries and doubts in her heart. She didn't know who and when poisoned her mother and Xiao An.The mystery of her wandering absent-mindedly by his side, thinking all the way back and forth without a clue, was maddening.

The stone steps were wet with rain, and it was extremely strenuous to walk up.She was tired by the halfway mark.He beside him silently accompanied him, in the pure mountain rain, he was like a luxuriant tree that sheltered from the wind and rain, at this moment, by her side, he gave the helpless her a sliver of family affection that was as if there was no flesh.She was a little apologetic, counting, Shang Yu had walked up and down the stone steps three times a day, and two of them were for her.In fact, although he often "bullyed" her, he was a nice person.An umbrella he mostly tilted over her head.

She looked at the wet corner of his clothes, and said softly, "Thank you, senior brother."

"Why are you polite?" Why did his tone sound a little hurried?Could it be that she disliked her walking too slowly?She quickened her pace, getting even more out of breath.

Suddenly, Shang Yu stopped and said, "I'll carry you behind my back."

She was startled, and hurriedly said, "No, I can do it myself."

"What are you talking about?" He frowned and grabbed her arm, staring at her, threatening a bit "viciously".

"It's really not necessary." She was in a hurry, but she couldn't get away after struggling. How dare she bother him to carry her on this exhausting stone steps?He has gone back and forth three times, and just thinking about it makes him feel very guilty.

"Hurry up." He looked straight at her, his gaze even more "fiendish".

She resisted while dawdling, putting on a posture of resolute refusal.

He refused to eat the hard ones, so he had to eat the soft ones.

"Girl, there's only one umbrella here. As soon as the rain floats over, my side will get wet. I'm carrying you on my back, and you are holding the umbrella. Both of us are taking care of it." He said softly, almost with It has a "low voice" taste.

It is true that his clothes got wet a lot, and she apologized even more: "Brother, you just need to take care of yourself."

He is annoyed, and he doesn't eat soft ones?
He didn't bother to say more, he put the umbrella in her hand, then squatted down and picked her up without any explanation.

She panicked and was forced onto his body. When she resisted, the umbrella in her hand was almost blown away by the wind.

"Don't move!" As soon as she twisted twice to think about it, he yelled at her, her voice was very stern, as if she had shown the momentum when she hit her palm.

She didn't dare to struggle anymore, for fear that if the two of them competed, it would be bad if they rolled down the stone steps.Apart from her father, this was the first time that she was so intimate with a man.

In order not to be too shy, she desperately put aside the relationship between him and her from the pure brothers and sisters, but the fact is that this kind of contact is very ambiguous, and his hand on her lap is indisputable fact.

She straightened her waist in embarrassment, not daring to put her chest on his back at all.So, she held the umbrella in one hand and supported his shoulder in the other. This posture was actually very difficult.

Along the way, she was wronged, reluctant, and full of guilt and guilt, and she didn't enjoy the "grace" of being carried up the steps at all.

Sometimes, a man who is too domineering is really a headache.
