There are several plum branches in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone.I know it's not snow, only a dark fragrance comes.

The little boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, looked at the plum blossoms protruding from the dilapidated wall and sighed. When can a plum tree be planted in the bamboo courtyard, so that the young master can watch it through the window, and will not sit in the courtyard against the cold wind. Looking at the plum blossoms in a daze, he lowered his head and glanced at the medicine bowl in his hand, the little boy hastened his pace, the medicine would be cold if he slowed down.

Opening the door, the little boy tiptoed and walked in softly. When he came to the inner room and saw the stove that was about to go out, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved. This month's charcoal has been used up, and he can only wait until next month if he wants to get new charcoal. months.

The little boy put the medicine bowl on the small mahogany table with some peeling paint by the window, then walked to the side of the bed and whispered through the bed veil, "Master, it's time to get up and drink the medicine."

After a long while stretched out a hand from the couch, this hand was pale and slender with clear bones, but it was skinny and boneless without a trace of fat, it was frighteningly thin.

"Help me up." The hoarse and deep voice seemed to be exhausted, weak and powerless.

After hearing this, the boy took two steps forward to tie the gauze curtain, and carefully helped the man on the bed to sit up.

At that moment, the room seemed to brighten up. The pale and bloodless face was undoubtedly exquisite. The two sword eyebrows were dense but not thick, which suited his face very well. The tightly pursed thin lips gave birth to a sense of vulnerability for no reason. , but his indifferent black eyes made people feel that he was lonely and arrogant.

"Young master, your illness this time must be due to the cold air that sank into your body when Miss San pushed you down the carp pond. In addition, your health is already not good, and this illness is even worse."

"It's okay, she didn't do it on purpose." The man looked indifferent, without frowning, as if he didn't care about anything, but added a little extravagance for nothing.

After hearing this, the little boy was a little angry, and his voice rose a lot unconsciously, "She did it on purpose! The eldest lady must have instigated her to bully the young master. The third lady is already fifteen, how could she send you to the ice pool so ignorantly?" Retweet?"

The man coughed lightly, his delicate eyebrows and eyes were not covered with frost, and his tone was flat, "Okay, after all, I am a child, this matter is over, don't mention it again."

The little boy was still very angry, gritted his teeth, and couldn't help saying, "If the master is still here, they wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous!"

"Deliver the medicine." Hearing this, the man slanted his eyebrows and glanced at the boy, his voice a little low.

Seeing the man's face turned cold, Xiaotong quickly shut his mouth. Every time the young master looked at him like this, he knew that the young master was angry, but the young master...still looked so good-looking.

After honestly handing over the slightly hot medicine bowl on the table to the man, the boy stood aside and dared not say anything.

After the man took the medicine bowl, he didn't drink it immediately, but raised his hand and drank it after watching it for a while. After taking a sip of the hot tea handed over by the boy, the bitterness in his mouth faded a lot, and the man's unintentionally frowned eyebrows also Relaxed.

Leaning on the high pillow, he glanced at the burning stove in the room, and the man sighed softly, "I'm afraid this charcoal is almost used up."

The little boy put the medicine bowl and teacup on the small table, his eyes were full of aggrieved, he opened his mouth to say something, but he swallowed it the next moment, his young master didn't like to hear this, so why should he make him angry, He had no choice but to suppress his anger and said: "The eldest lady only allows us to receive ten catties of charcoal every month, and there is not much black charcoal left now, it is only enough for us to last for another day."

"Well, it's the end of the month in a few days, and the extra bed quilt will be over soon." The man picked up the books placed by the bed and said indifferently.

Seeing this, the little boy hurried forward to tuck the quilt up for the man, and reminded him, "Master, don't look at it for too long, the doctor said that you'd better not do anything these few days, and lie on the bed to rest and refresh yourself, so that It can get better faster.”

The man raised his hand and turned the pages of the book to the place he was reading yesterday, and said in a low voice: "Ah Lin too, after drinking this medicine, I can't eat anything at noon, so don't go back to the room, stay in the kitchen and lean on the boiler to keep warm." Body."

Alin's eyes were sore for a moment, he raised his hand and rubbed his eye sockets, bowed slightly and said firmly, "No, Alin will come over to accompany the young master after he returns the bowl to the kitchen."

The man looked at A Lin's thin back and pursed his lips. All these years, he was wronged by him for serving him, a powerless young master, with such dedication...

Alin walked out of the room with an empty bowl, and the howling cold wind hit his face. Alin couldn't help shivering, turned around and closed the door, and stamped his cold feet vigorously. It's getting colder.

Feeling the slightly hard letter in his arms, Alin took a deep breath and made up his mind. Now that the young master's illness is getting worse, ordinary medicinal materials are no longer effective, but they can't afford expensive medicinal materials, so In order for the young master to live well, he had no choice but to send this letter, otherwise the young master would not survive this winter due to the embarrassment of the eldest lady and serious illness.Regardless of success or failure, he decided to take a gamble.

But the next question stumped him. It would cost at least four or five taels to do that, but... he and the young master had bought all the medicinal materials for the monthly tribute they received every month, so they couldn't get them out at all.

When A Lin was struggling, he raised his eyes and saw the servants carrying things in and out of the warehouse, and suddenly he had an idea in his mind, and now that's all there is to it.

The winter night is icy cold, and the howling wind is even worse. No one walks on the long streets in Haishi, let alone those small streets and alleys. cold.

"Bang bang bang!" The loud knock on the door was especially harsh in this quiet alley, but the knock on the door became more and more urgent, and the sound became louder and louder.

"Hey, who is so unpleasant to buy pork in the middle of the night? Starving ghost reincarnated! I don't know if I'm sleeping!" The butcher looked impatient to be woken up.

"It doesn't have to be the meat buyer, maybe someone who knows you has urgent business with you." The slender woman sleeping next to the butcher yawned sleepily.

Seeing this, the butcher hurriedly said distressedly: "Okay, I see, you continue to sleep and I will go out and have a look."

The woman smiled gently, then lay down and closed her eyes.

'Squeak——' the door opened, and the displeased butcher was about to get angry when he saw a little boy kneeling at his feet, looking up at him, pleading endlessly, "Brother Dou, please help me!" , help my young master!"

The butcher was taken aback immediately, he quickly helped the little boy to take a closer look, and said in astonishment, "Huh? Aren't you A Lin, the servant boy next to the young master?"

A Lin nodded again and again, "I'm A Lin! Brother Dou, I beg you to save my young master."

Hearing Alin's crying voice, the butcher frowned, supported Alin and said, "It's cold outside, let's go inside."

A Lin shook his head hastily, his face full of gratitude, "Thank you Brother Dou for your kindness, but my young master is still waiting for me to take care of him, and I can't stay here for long. I only hope that Brother Dou can help me with one thing."

The butcher tightened his clothes, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a rough voice: "You said, if it can be done, I will definitely help you. What's the matter?"

The little boy took out six taels of silver and an unnamed letter from his pocket, and handed them to the butcher, "I heard that Brother Dou once worked in the frontier barracks, so Alin begs you to send this letter to the frontier and hand it over to Bubai." General!"
