After Yan and Xiaoyou walked out of Huaguan, Yan did not rush to take him home. Instead, he took him to the town for a physical examination.

"Brother, where are we going?"

"Little You, I'll take you to town to get a checkup to see if you're sick, okay?"

"Okay, Xiaoyou will listen to your brother."

The two came to the town. It was called a market town, but in fact it was just a larger village. As it was relatively close to the town of Yansha, craftsmen often came here to buy things, so it seemed quite prosperous.

Yan held Xiaoyou's hand tightly. The world was not peaceful now and he was afraid that someone would kidnap Xiaoyou.

Xiaoyou looked around like a curious kitten, his eyes rolling around. This was the first time he had come to such a lively place, with noisy hawking sounds all around him, and merchants were trying their best to sell their goods.

The air was filled with all kinds of tempting aromas. Xiaoyou sniffed hard and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

He knew very well that his brother must not have much Mora on him, and that money had to be saved for his physical examination. However, facing the temptation of delicious food, Xiaoyou could not resist it.

Naturally, Yan noticed his brother's little move. After secretly estimating the amount of Mora he had left, he hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a relatively cheaper dried grilled sweetfish.

Yan carefully handed the grilled sweetfish to Xiaoyou. Xiaoyou raised his head and his eyes first fell on the fragrant grilled fish, and then met Yan's gentle eyes.

Xiaoyou took the grilled fish with great joy and took a bite. Although it tasted fragrant, it didn’t seem as delicious as he had imagined.

The two arrived at the door of the clinic. After taking a deep breath, Yan gently walked forward and knocked on the door.

"Coming." A slightly old voice came from behind the door.

With a "click" sound, the door slowly opened, and an old man with white hair and wrinkles appeared in front of the two. His cloudy eyes showed a trace of fatigue, but when he saw the two plainly dressed teenagers in front of him, he still showed a gentle smile.

"Children, what can I do for you?" the old man asked softly.

Yan pulled Xiaoyou from behind to his front and said nervously, "Old man, I want to check my brother to see if he is sick. He has been listless recently and eats very little..." At the end, Yan's voice unconsciously lowered.

The old man looked at Xiaoyou carefully, then stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Is he the only one? Do you want to get checked as well? I can give it to you for free. After all, good health is the most important thing!"

"No need, old man, just let my brother take a look, I will pay Mora." Yan did not accept the old man's kindness. He was a puppet and would not get sick. Moreover, if the other party found out that he was not a human, some trouble might happen.

"Well, come in."

Heng led Xiaoyou into the clinic.

The clinic was shabby and not very crowded. There were only a few medicines left on the shelves, and many were even empty.

On both sides of the shelf were couplets from Liyue, which read:

"I would rather let the medicine on the shelf grow dusty than to have no suffering in the world"

However, some of the words on it are already blurred, obviously it is quite old.

The old man sat at a low table and motioned Xiaoyou to sit down.

Xiaoyou looked at Yan and saw him nod and sit on the other side of the low table.

The old man was from Liyue. He had learned some medical skills when he was young. After coming to Inazuma, he met the person he loved and stayed there. Unfortunately, his lover died early and left no offspring.

The old man felt the patient's pulse, his brows gradually furrowed. After a while, he withdrew his hand and looked up at Yan.

Seeing this, Yan said softly to Xiaoyou: "Xiaoyou, go to the door and wait for me first. The old man and I have something to say."

"Okay." Xiaoyou nodded, walked out obediently, and closed the door behind him.

Seeing Xiaoyou go out, he looked at the old man anxiously, "Old man, how is Xiaoyou's health?"

The old man did not answer him but asked: "Where are the adults in your family?"

"They are gone, and only Xiaoyou and I depend on each other," he said, looking at the old man anxiously, "Old uncle, please tell me, how is Xiaoyou doing?"

He didn't know how he walked out of the clinic. The old man's words were still echoing in his mind:

"He doesn't have much time left..."

"Is there no other way? By the way, is it that there is not enough Mora? I have Mora. Look, I have so much Mora..." Yan took out all the Mora on his body and looked at the old man with expectant eyes.

But the old man just shook his head and sighed: "It has nothing to do with Mora. I won't take these Mora. Take them and take your brother to eat something good."

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Xiaoyou's voice, Yan came back to his senses. He forced a smile and said, "It's okay. The old man said that Xiaoyou is in good health, but he is a little malnourished, so he asked me to bring him to eat something good."

Yu squatted down, looked at Xiaoyou and said with a smile: "Brother, can you take Xiaoyou to play in the town for a few days?"

Yan picked up Xiaoyou, walked out of the clinic and came to the street.

In the next few days, Yan took Xiaoyou to play in the town. He changed Xiaoyou into a new set of clothes and bought a lot of food that Xiaoyou had never eaten. Xiaoyou was very happy, but there was a trace of unrelieved sadness in Yan's eyes.

One afternoon, Xiaoyou suddenly fainted. Ying carried Xiaoyou back to the hotel, put him on the bed, carefully covered him with a quilt, and sat beside him, waiting silently.

Xiaoyou woke up at night, "Brother..." Xiaoyou murmured.

"I'm here." Yan held Xiaoyou's hand.

"Brother... Xiaoyou... wants to... go home..."

"Okay, brother will take you home."

"Okay...brother...but...Xiaoyou is so sleepy...I really want to sleep..."

"It's okay, Xiaoyou, go to sleep. When you wake up, we will be home." Yan gently stroked Xiaoyou's face.

Yan carried Xiaoyou's body back home. He dug a hole next to the wooden house and put Xiaoyou in it.

Yan kissed Xiaoyou's cold forehead and said, "Go to sleep, Xiaoyou. When you wake up, you will see your father and mother..." After that, Yan jumped out of the pit and buried Xiaoyou.

After doing all this, he sat down and looked quietly at the small mound in front of him.

I didn't cry. People don't cry when they are extremely sad. Maybe it's the same for dolls...

Suddenly, a drop of water hit Yan's cheek and slid down his face.

He looked up at the sky, "Is it raining again?"

Drop after drop of rain fell, and gradually the rain became heavier.
