Chapter 29 I'm Not Your Brother

The two of them went upstairs and took a look. The room was not big, and there was only one bed. The broken bed that Zhou Dahai said was really a broken bed. It was made of iron, and the four corners were rusted. Shaking, creaking, ear-piercing.

Zhou Xun went downstairs to find a paper shell to put under the legs of the bed, which was better, so that people would not be woken up by turning over at night.

Fortunately, the iron bed was quite big, and there were two layers of mattresses on the bed. The sheets and quilts were new, and they still smelled of new fabrics. There were no pillows, and the two of them folded their clothes for cushions.

I was already very tired from the train ride, but after such a toss, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep not long after I lay down.

Zhou Xun didn't forget to ask Lin Zhile if the pain on his back hurt before he fell asleep completely, and fell asleep after getting the answer that it didn't hurt.

When he woke up the next morning, Zhou Dahai had already cooked a meal, boiled a few packs of instant noodles, and added a few eggs.

"Do you usually eat like this?" Zhou Xun looked at a large pot of instant noodles in the pot, the soup was almost dry.

"Choose what you want to eat or not." Zhou Dahai took out a bowl of noodles from the pot, put it on the table, put it in front of Zhou Xun, and filled another bowl for himself, but did not give it to Lin Zhile. After looking for it, I filled another bowl for Lin Zhile.

"I said, Dad, how long have you lived alone? You buy boxes of instant noodles at home?" Zhou Xun looked at the various flavors of instant noodles on the pot table, feeling a little sour.

"Isn't this whole street full of restaurants?" Zhou Dahai said, "Everything you eat is not eating."

Zhou Xun looked in the small kitchen, and found that many seasoning bottles hadn't been opened, and he didn't know how long he had bought them, "Why don't you go to Beijing with me."

"No, I see you two every day, it's not enough to bother me," Zhou Dahai finished his bowl of noodles after taking a few sips, and put the empty bowl in the sink, "I'm fine here , Get a small shop, play mahjong if you have nothing to do, what are you going to do in Beijing, Wang Lijuan and Wang Tian are also in Beijing, I won’t go.”

Zhou Xun: "They have nothing to do with you, why do you care about them?"

Zhou Dahai: "I panicked."

Zhou Xun: "Okay, if you don't go, then don't go."

It was Zhou Dahai's car when he set off, a silver bun with a dusty outside, this car was usually used when he was picking up goods, and it broke down once on the road, but fortunately Zhou Xun could repair the car, two times Just get it done. When we arrived in the village, it was noon and the sun was shining brightly.

"Grandma, your son and grandson are here to see you. It's the first time that there are so many people here, and Zhile is back. We are all fine, so don't worry."

Zhou Dahai and Lin Zhile didn't say a word, they kept burning papers, Zhou Xun was the only one who babbled.

After the three of them went to the grave, they pulled up the new weeds around them. After finishing, Zhou Dahai asked, "Are you going back to the old house?"

Zhou Xun patted the mud and grass on his hands, "Dad, you go back first, I have something to talk to Lin Zhile about."

"I have to talk about it here." Zhou Dahai said, but he still went back to the old house first.

Compared with the twelfth lunar month before the New Year's Eve, the snow in the Mina River has melted now, and the ground that was originally white has been replaced by green. It looks like a year's spring is born again at a glance.

The rhododendrons on the mountain are just about to bloom, one by two are scattered, a little red every few steps.

Zhou Dahai left first, and only Zhou Xun and Lin Zhile were left. They walked to the foot of the nearby mountain, picked a pleasing lawn and sat down.

Above Zhou Xun's head was a half-bloomed rhododendron, the petals hadn't fully bloomed, and the heart was still wrapped together. As soon as he raised his hand, he touched it, and the purple flower branch trembled.

Zhou Xun felt that the sun was a bit glaring, so he covered his eyes with his hands, and didn't look at the azaleas again, "I wanted to wait for you to take the initiative to tell me, but you haven't opened your mouth, so I can only ask myself. The two have never had time to chat. They have been so confused since they were on the grassland. They haven't said anything clearly yet. They have kissed each other before. They have been sleeping on the same bed. It doesn't seem like a big deal. Now In front of grandma, you don't have to take the initiative to say it, but if I ask you, you have to answer me."

Lin Zhile knew that there would always be such a day, so he sat next to Zhou Xun, his legs touching his legs, without opening his mouth, and silently took it as an acquiescence.

"Why do you take those medicines?" Zhou Xun asked the key point directly, he is not a three-year-old child, nor is he a fool, he will believe whatever Lin Zhile says.

Lin Zhile knew that Zhou Xun would know about this sooner or later after the horse jumping on the grassland. He was with Zhou Xun from morning to night every day. He had taken so much medicine in the past few days, and the medicine bottle was still in his bag. No matter how careless Zhou Xun was, it was impossible not to notice anything.

He has always held the attitude of procrastinating for one day. Originally, he also wanted to say something, but he never found a suitable opportunity, and he didn't know how to speak up, and what to say when he opened his mouth. Now he can only choose some moderate ones. In fact, as for the details of the past five years, there is no need to let Zhou Xun know, it will only make Zhou Xun feel sad.

"Brother Xun, there is something wrong with my body." Lin Zhile didn't move when he said that, his legs were stiff, and his eyes looked straight at the distant mountains, high and low, like waves, After watching for a long time, the waves began to move.

"What's the problem?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Like my dad, sometimes I have sudden mood changes, insomnia, and hallucinations, but I can't remember those things, and my memory will be blank. I don't remember the horse jumping on the grassland. , I only know that Brother Xun is on the horse, it is very dangerous, I want the horse to stop." Lin Zhile opened his mouth a little bit, paused in each sentence, and then said: "Brother Xun, after all, I have become a What other people call a lunatic."

Zhou Xun interrupted in a deep voice, "If you have something to talk about, if you have a disease, you have no one else. You are by my side now. Others are others, and they have nothing to do with others. If I say you are not, then you are not."

In fact, Zhou Xun had already guessed it in his heart. The scene of Lin Zhile jumping the horse, thinking back carefully, his state and his eyes were not right at that time. At that time, Lin Zhile could not hear what he said at all. status.

Zhou Xun could also see that in Lin Zhile's eyes, he was only on horseback.

Zhou Xun asked again: "You left five years ago because of this?"

"Well," Lin Zhile nodded and said, "I'm afraid that I will hurt you just like my father."

Zhou Xun put his arms on his bent knees, lowered his head, looked at his bloodshot fingers, his chest was also congested, and his throat was blocked, "Lin Zhile, if you just go home for the holidays today Call me Brother Xun when you are in trouble, you just call me Brother Xun when you need my help when you are in trouble, it doesn’t matter if you leave for this reason, you go as you please, and to be honest, I won’t stop you.”

After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he took a deep breath from his stuffy throat, but his throat was still blocked, leaving him no room to breathe. He slowed down and continued: "But you Damn you call me Brother Xun in bed, I'm not your brother, I'm not your fucking brother."

"Brother Xun, it's because you are not only..."

"It's not just because you can't go." Zhou Xun interrupted him, exhaled, his voice choked, "Just because I'm not, I'm not your brother! What did I tell you before? Do you remember The time I took you to the park for the first time."

Lin Zhile turned his head, lowered his eyes, and looked at Zhou Xun's red nose. He put his hand on Zhou Xun's arm, squeezed Zhou Xun's hand, and said in a low voice that he remembered.

"Do you remember that you still left? I told you at that time that even if I tied you, I would tie you by my side and heal you." Zhou Xun also turned his head to look at Lin Zhile.

Lin Zhile couldn't see Zhou Xun's eyes now, and shook his fingers uncontrollably, "Brother Xun, you don't have to tie me up, even if you kick me out this time, I won't leave, Brother Xun, You are by my side, this time you help me!"

"Why should I help you?" Zhou Xun asked back.

"You said it before." Lin Zhile said.

Zhou Xun: "You didn't listen to what I said before, and now I'm going to go back on my word."

Lin Zhile: "Don't, you can't go back on your word, grandma is still listening over there."

Zhou Xun sighed, "What did the doctor say, how should I treat it?"

"Just take the medicine, go to follow-up visits regularly, see a doctor, and nothing else." This is indeed part of the doctor's original words.

"Just take medicine?"

"Just take the medicine!"

"Okay, I'll stare at you later. I remember before, when you had a fever, you didn't want to take medicine or get an injection. You're already in the third grade of junior high school. I have to go to your dormitory to catch you and stop you in the middle of the night." Feed medicine at the door."

Lin Zhile: "Now I eat on time and order, and I haven't missed a single time."

Zhou Xun: "When I return to Beijing, I will go to the hospital next time, and I will go with you."

The two sat for a while, and the sun had already reached the other side of the mountain.

"Let's go, go to the river to wash your hands." Zhou Xun stood up and pulled Lin Zhile up. He didn't let go, and led him to the river. "Your palms are sweaty. With a little mud, now it is sticky and uncomfortable."

"I'll wash brother Xun later." Lin Zhile rubbed Zhou Xun's fingers with wet palms, which became more and more sticky.

When they got to the river, Lin Zhile really washed Zhou Xun's hands, just like Zhou Xun washed his hands when he was a child, squatting behind him, holding his hands, and washing him with water from the river, palms of hands, fingertips Between the fingers, wash carefully, the river water was cold, but Zhou Xun's hands were warmed by Lin Zhile's rubbing.

After washing, Zhou Xun stood up and shook off the water on his hands. Without paying attention, Lin Zhile's face was wet behind him. Zhou Xun wanted to wipe his face with the back of his wet hand, but ended up washing his face. .

Zhou Xun looked at Lin Zhile with a watery face, and the water droplets on the small mole at the end of the eye, which were shining brightly in the sun. He stood on tiptoe and kissed it directly, and finally stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick it, wanting to move it away. At that moment, Lin Zhile clasped his neck with her palm, not letting him move, lowered her head and wrapped her lips and the tip of her tongue that he hadn't had time to close with her lips.

Lin Zhile's palms became more and more forceful, and his breathing became more and more rapid. Zhou Xun was also kissed by Lin Zhile, and fireballs started to burst from the soles of his feet, and shot up to his scalp, numb and hot, but this was outside after all, he pushed After driving Lin Zhile, panting heavily, "Go back quickly, you have to go before dark."

Lin Zhile hummed, her breath was also blazing, and she managed to hold her breath.

On the way back, I will pass the jujube forest that grandma used to plant, and it is still there now, but it belongs to someone else's house now.

Zhou Xun pointed with his finger, "Now is the time for pruning, right? The jujubes can only be harvested in autumn. When will it be?"
