Chapter 2, Brothers

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Yes. Goro took out another piece from his pocket

Chen Sanlang's eyes were about to burst with rage; he was determined that as soon as he recovered, he would make the old woman understand why the flowers were so red

"There is no need to go to such trouble." However, Chen Sanlang did not wish to meddle further and shook his head, saying: "Silang, could you do me a favor?"

At this moment, the boy spoke, his Mandarin tinged with a Sichuan accent: "Third brother, are you well?"

There is. At this moment, it was Xiao Liulang who responded, and he also handed a piece of cake to San Ge.

"The third brother picked it for me..." Xiao Liulang said in a soft voice, "Have you forgotten?"

Thank you ... ... '' Chen Sanlang took it and ate it, but to his surprise, not only was he not satisfied, but the feeling of hunger surged like a tide, as if he had been starving for dozens of days: `` Is there ... ... any more? ''

Outside, the harsh scolding voice of a fierce woman echoed: "How many times have I told you, if you run back to that pigsty again, I will break your legs!"

Although he was unfamiliar with the fabric, Chen Sanlang was still consumed by jealousy, wishing he could strip him bare and dress his two younger brothers in it

Liulang is not yet four years old. Today, he has been anxious and frightened all day, already feeling mentally exhausted. After finishing his meal, he nestled into his arms and fell asleep. Chen Sanlang gently placed him beside him and then remembered Wulang, apologizing, "You haven't eaten yet, have you"

He turned his head to look at Wulang again. This child is actually just skin and bones, but he has a big frame, which makes him appear somewhat sturdy. Even when asleep, Wulang's brows are tightly furrowed, and his expression is serious. To put it nicely, he has a righteous look, but to be honest, he has a face full of deep grievances.

"I heard you had an accident yesterday afternoon, but I didn't find the time to come by," Chen Silang said with a somewhat uneasy expression. "Third Brother, have you seen a doctor?"

"How come there are no lights?" He couldn't help but feel his face flush, looking around at the dark surroundings, only able to make out two faint small figures.

Wasn't the headache last night a sign? It was only because I lost my composure at that moment that I failed to notice it

But his legs felt as if they were filled with lead, how could he walk quickly? By the time he reached the door, he could no longer see any figures, only faint voices drifting from the bamboo grove.

Liulang tremulously held a large bowl in front of him

Chen Sanlang felt a pang in his nose and a moisture in his eyes, unable to help but silently scold himself for being overly sensitive. He forced a smile and said, "San Ge is not a good-for-nothing; he has eaten his fill and cannot eat anymore..." It was quite a performance that finally persuaded Liu Lang to eat that half of the bun.

This unfortunate child, which pot is not being mentioned

Chen Silang silently noted it down, nodding without speaking. Outside, a middle-aged woman's voice, several times louder and more unpleasant than a rooster's crow, called out: "Silang! Chen Silang, where have you been!"

Xiao Liulang obediently spat it out, but he was clearly frightened, with tears glistening in his eyes

At that moment, the slightly ajar door opened. He initially thought it was Wulang and the others, but upon looking up, he saw a boy of similar age to himself

Chen Sanlang was particularly intolerant of being wronged. In an instant, his anger surged, and he abruptly sat up, intending to go out and settle accounts with that old shrew.

As soon as he spoke unclearly, the two children found it difficult to understand, and it took them a while to realize. Wulang shook his head and said, "There are no more; these three flatbreads were secretly sent by Uncle Lu."

Have I managed to invite the doctor

"It's nothing," Wulang said with a silly smile. "Third Brother once said, if you fall asleep, you won't feel hungry. This method works well." He then climbed onto the couch and went to sleep

As the two left, the hut fell silent, and Chen Sanlang finally became aware of his unusual condition... His whole body felt as if it were being pricked by needles; he had barely moved when beads of sweat began to form on his forehead, clearly indicating that he was running a fever. His soul, which hailed from a future era, originally belonged to a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Although he had not formally studied medicine, he had been exposed to it from a young age and could barely be considered a half-baked doctor.

Lying in bed, he discovered that through the hole in the ceiling, he could see the brilliant stars, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, realizing how beautiful the night sky was. He simply could not understand how there could be such heartless people who would so cruelly mistreat underage youths; they truly deserve to be torn apart!

Chen Sanlang felt completely numb from being pressed by his two younger brothers, and he did not sleep soundly; thus, he woke up as soon as the rooster crowed. It was then that he realized Xiao Liulang was lying directly on his chest, having drooled a considerable puddle.

"Damn it..." Chen Sanlang cursed in frustration, but he was so hungry that he could only force himself to swallow. However, he rolled his eyes and still couldn't get it down, rasping, "Water..."

He lay down, afraid to move. Given the medical conditions of this era, if one disregards their health and acts recklessly, their life could very well be in jeopardy

Chen Sanlang took a good look at this little brother for the first time. He noticed that the boy had long eyelashes and delicate features, making him a rare beautiful child. However, due to malnutrition, his head appeared large and his body small, which detracted from his inherent cuteness but made him even more endearing.

He has never been a person who drags his feet. Once he has made up his mind to consider himself as Chen Sanlang, he no longer pretends to be dead with his eyes closed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a rumbling sound, for he had not eaten a single grain of rice since morning, and his stomach was growling.

Are these two related to my brother? A warm feeling surged in Chen Sanlang's heart, something he had never experienced in his previous life as an only child

There is, I still have! Little Liulang presented a handful of items to Sanlang. Chen Sanlang picked one up, which seemed to be a broad bean, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Where did you get this?"

He cursed the heartless elder fiercely, while also worrying about his own situation. As a mere child, must he continue to be mistreated? Perhaps he should run away, but there are two burdens to consider. These two pitiful little ones clearly see him as their only support; how could he just abandon them?

Liulang nodded obediently, and after a while, he whispered, "But I'm hungry..."

"Two little fools, I don't even know who to rely on myself?" Chen Sanlang was extremely frustrated and eventually fell asleep amidst his worries

Your Highness, my third brother is ill

"I have been eating all along..." Xiao Liulang pinched one and popped it into his mouth with a crunch. Chen Sanlang couldn't snatch it away, so he hurriedly took everything from his hands and angrily said: "Spit it out, you are not allowed to eat!"

"I can, as long as I am able to help." Chen Silang nodded repeatedly.

Compared to his two ragged younger brothers, Chen Silang's attire was like heaven and earth. He was seen wearing a dark blue silk robe, adorned with floral patterns, over which he had a black waistcoat, and he wore tightly fitted trousers, complemented by brand new soft boots.

And you?

Chen Sanlang harbored fear towards this world; he was not yet prepared to interact with outsiders. He decided to make do in the dark tonight, as he certainly wouldn't poke his chopsticks into his nostrils

"It is all my mother's fault..." Chen Silang said with a gloomy expression: "I will go back and ask Sister Cuihua to help find Mr. Hu with the library's assistance." In this era, "Mr." is a term used to refer to doctors.

Wang Long handed him a conical object. Chen Sanlang took it, squeezed it, and it seemed to be a coarse grain cake. He couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating bitter smile: "Now I definitely can't pick my nose with this." He tentatively took a bite, unsure if it was made from husks or bran; in any case, the coarse and gritty sensation filled his mouth and throat, prompting him to frown and ask, "Can this be eaten?"

After finishing a piece of bread with water, Chen Sanlang still felt hungry and instinctively asked, "Is there any more?"

Chen Sanlang took a bite and suddenly realized that he might have eaten their food, his old face instantly flushed as he said: "Is there anything else to eat? I mean, have you eaten?"

"My mother is calling me, I must hurry and leave!" Chen Silang took out a bundle of items from his pocket and placed it by the bedside, saying: "This is what I took from the kitchen!" After saying this, he hurriedly walked out.

It is precisely people like you!" Chen Sanlang said irritably

Did San Ge forget? The two figures were momentarily taken aback, and the larger one, Wu Lang, said in a deep voice: "You went to ask before and after, but the lady simply refused and even scolded you harshly."

Voices gradually filled the outside, and the two younger brothers were also roused from their sleep. Xiao Liulang rubbed his sleepy eyes and mumbled, "I need to pee..."

"How..." he, that is to say, Chen Sanlang, could not help but feel his anger surge and exclaimed: "This is abuse of minors!"

Chen Sanlang took the drink, gulped it down a couple of times before he could clear his mouth of the food. Only then did he realize that the water was surprisingly clear and sweet, which provided a slight comfort to his troubled heart

Seeing the genuine concern on his face, Chen Sanlang had no choice but to suppress the thought of robbery and replied irritably, "I won't die..."

"Dare to talk back? Look at www.hetushu.com. I won't tear your mouth apart!" The angry voice grew fainter, but the sharp and insulting words occasionally pierced through: "What a third brother... the offspring of a poor and dilapidated family... cursed for eight generations!"

Is there anything to eat

A series of loud rooster crows broke the tranquility of dawn

What does it mean to be a minor

Liulang, be good... Chen Sanlang's heart softened, and he tightly embraced him, saying: "I will cook you well tomorrow to eat."

Chen Sanlang was still weak and unable to get out of bed. Moreover, Liu Lang was holding onto his arm while Wu Lang grasped the corner of his clothing, making it impossible for him to move even a little. He had no choice but to lie there obediently.

Chen Sanlang put it in his mouth and tasted it, only to find it was raw. He quickly spat it out and said: "This must be cooked before eating, otherwise it is poisonous"

"Can eat ... ..." Wugong said in a deep voice: "We'll eat this in the afternoon."

Chen Sanlang brought the pancake to his mouth, but Liu Lang pursed his lips and did not eat, softly saying: "Third brother is ill; he must eat more to recover..." Wu Lang also nodded vigorously in agreement

Chen Sanlang propped himself up to rise, but could not find the urinal; it was still Wulang who led him outside to resolve the matter

After a brief moment of distraction, Chen Sanlang remembered that this was his uncle's younger brother, specifically the second son of his eldest uncle's family, Silang

There is, there is. The heart of the doll is the most sensitive, sensing that he has returned to normal, the two children also relaxed, and Xiao Liulang immediately stuck to him like a plaster. This time, Chen Sanlang did not push him away, allowing him to lean on his knee

I know there is sericulture to the east of the village. Please get me some silkworm dung, which is the excrement of the silkworm... Chen Sanlang, seeing that this Silang had a friendly demeanor, began to entertain his thoughts and said: "Also ask your sister Cuihua for some dried tangerine peel, which is used for cooking in the kitchen. She will know as soon as you mention it."
