Xia He wrapped himself in a quilt, he was already strong, and even though he was seriously ill at this time, he didn't lose any strength at all. Aunt Lin went to invite Dr. Yu back, and saw Xia He bored there, anxious for a moment , wanted to pull Xia Hemeng's quilt off his head, but he didn't dare to fight him with brute force, but he couldn't dig Xia He out of the quilt.She had no choice but to persuade her: "Ma'am, you are very sick, don't cover yourself to death!"

Xia He remained silent.

Dr. Yu blew his beard and stared at him, and said, "You are so sick, do you still think about it? Let me have a look!"

Xia He was only trembling in bed, he hadn't figured out how to tell this extremely ridiculous thing, he didn't dare to teach others to see his current appearance.

After all, Doctor Yu was too old to help Aunt Lin. The two persuaded Xia He over and over again on Xia He's bedside, but they didn't let Xia He show his face. Her mother-in-law called! We are all outsiders after all, I don't believe it, Xia He doesn't even listen to his elders!"

Mrs. Li is anxiously waiting for the news.Last time, Aunt Lin also relayed Dr. Tai's words, saying that Xia He was sick and not working hard, and he recovered quickly. He always took a medicine, and he would be fine in the next day.As a result, Xia He fell ill again not long after she had a fever last time. How can she explain to her in-laws?

Seeing Aunt Lin coming over in a hurry, Mrs. Li hurriedly asked, "How are you? Are you seriously ill?"

"Old Madam, why don't you go over there, Madam doesn't want to see the doctor." Aunt Lin said yes with a sad face.

When Mrs. Li heard this, it was not a good idea to ignore her own health, so she carried Jin Bao and walked towards Xia He's place.

Seeing Xia He wrapping herself tightly in the quilt, like a cocoon, Mrs. Li became anxious, stomped her feet, and said: "What are you doing, Xia He, Doctor Yu is here , you are not in good health, you have to show the doctor, what are you doing to yourself?"

Even Jin Bao, who was being held by Mrs. Li, suddenly burst into tears, as if she was also feeling sorry for her aunt.

How could the thin quilt block the voices from outside? Xia He heard Aunt Lin, Dr. Yu and Mrs. Li's concerns very clearly, but the more anxious they were, the less Xia He dared to say that he had just Learned secrets are made public.Until Xia He heard Jin Bao crying heart-piercingly, his heart was also pulled.He wanted to say something to comfort the person who was separated from him by the quilt, but when he opened his mouth, he felt the burning in his throat, and he lost his voice.

He bit his lip, continued to suffocate, and sucked in the last of his strength, as if that secret would be buried together in this quilt, and no outsiders would know it.

Mrs. Li didn't have much strength, but she still pushed Jinbao into Aunt Lin's arms under her eagerness, not caring about Jinbao's dislike for Aunt Lin for the time being, so she cried even harder and got her hands on her.Aunt Lin was a regular worker, so she couldn't be pulled away. How could Mrs. Li tear Xia He's quilt away? After a long while, she could only sigh, and her voice seemed to be crying, saying: "From the Lin family, go and call your mother-in-law here, I'm afraid only the mother-in-law can persuade Xia He. ——Hurry up!"

"Hey!" Aunt Lin handed Jinbao back again, she didn't care about anything else, and ran straight to Zhang's house.

Xia He trembled violently when she heard that her mother was coming.

Mrs. Li didn't know that he was afraid, she just thought that Xia He was in severe pain, she sat on the head of his bed, wiped her tears, and gently patted Xia He through the quilt, saying: "Good boy, no Hurry up and let Dr. Yu show you if you feel better, what are you being stubborn about. Xia He, my good daughter-in-law... this illness has never been delayed!"

Xia He had never heard Mrs. Li speak in such a tone, so she could only shrink herself tighter, hoping that Lanniang would arrive later.

But Lan Niang was at home, and when Aunt Lin said that Xia He was ill again, she hurriedly dropped her work and ran to Li's house just like Aunt Lin.As soon as she entered Xia He's room, Lan Niang saw Doctor Yu standing helplessly at the side, while Mrs. Li was wiping her tears. She didn't know whether it was a sigh of relief or distress, so she just said hello and went to talk to Xia He tugged: "Xia He, mother is here, let mother take a look! Mother heard that you were sick, she was so worried, at least show mother..."

At this time, Xia He had mixed feelings about Lan Niang, so he could only wrap himself tightly.

He's out of his mind now, all he can think about is running away.In just half a morning, Xia He felt that his sky was about to collapse, and now his mind was completely occupied by that terrible thought, and the only thing left to think about was how to avoid outsiders.If it was on weekdays, he must be laughing at himself now, what good way is covering him under the quilt?

Lan Niang also pulled up the quilt with her hands, but she never thought that Xia He's strength was so great, plus Aunt Lin, neither of them could overcome Xia He's obsession with not wanting to see people at this time.

Helpless, Lan Niang could only sigh and said: "My in-laws, Doctor Yu, and those of the Lin family, please go out first, and I will tell Xia He well."

After a long while, Mrs. Li nodded and said, "Oh, well, Xia He doesn't know what he's being stubborn about, please tell him well, my in-laws."

After a long time, Lan Niang sat on Xia He's bed and said, "Xia He...you know?"

She stared blankly at the two fine flour steamed buns on the ground.The Zhang family had more land in the past two years and the rent was waived, so they could mix rough noodles with fine noodles, but the Li family was rich, and they always used fine noodles to make steamed buns.Xia He often praised Li's steamed buns for their deliciousness, even if they were left cold, they would still taste delicious when eaten the next morning.Lan Niang pondered for a while, and only thought of the reason why Xia He might throw the steamed buns on the ground.

Xia He then slowly revealed her head, turned her face halfway, and looked at Lan Niang.

His throat was still so sore that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't even open his mouth to ask for water.He could only nod his head, and then struggled to ask three words: "Why..."

"Alas... Mother thought too simply. I shouldn't have agreed to let you marry me at the beginning, otherwise..." Lan Niang said, but suddenly she couldn't hold on, and big teardrops rolled down .She is also bitter in her heart, a good son, who is willing to be a daughter and raise him for 15 years?

Lan Niang cried so hard that her words were cut off in half.Seeing Lanniang crying, Xia He panicked, and regardless of her own illness, quickly wiped her tears with the hem of her clothes.When Lan Niang calmed down, he was still asking, "Why?"

Lan Niang didn't answer, she hugged Xia He into her arms.

Xia He's hot forehead was pressed against Lan Niang's chest, the soft touch was exactly the same as that of Dongmei, so it must not be some kind of steamed bun.He had never been hugged so intimately by Lan Niang since he was a child, and when he remembered that he was a boy, how could he be so intimate with his mother, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet for a while.

But when Lan Niang let him go again, Xia He was still asking: "Why?"

But Lan Niang smiled: "You... I knew that you are not obedient. When you asked me what I was hiding from you that day, my eyelids twitched violently. I guess it was because I was afraid that I would not be able to hide it. How long have I lived with you. ——It should be our Zhang family's catastrophe." She sighed a long time, but pushed Xia He, let him lie down, and said, "Lie down for me, Let's not let Dr. Yu take your pulse, but let him see you so that he can prescribe medicine, okay? You are so sick that you need to take medicine..."

"...You tell me first." Xia He hoarse, but still insisted.Even though Lan Niang was tucked under the quilt for him, he stretched out a hand and grabbed Lan Niang, probably because Lan Niang didn't tell the reason, so he refused to let Lan Niang call Doctor Yu.

But Lan Niang could only say: "Be good, see the doctor first, take medicine, and when you recover, Mother will tell you, okay?"

Xia He stared at Lan Niang, as if to judge whether she was telling the truth.

But Lan Niang couldn't hold back her tears, her little son's life was too bitter.If possible, she didn't want to say anything, she didn't want Xia He to be burdened so much.

But looking at Xia He's expression, Lan Niang couldn't hold back, she smiled through tears, shook her head and said, "You, you... your temperament is exactly the same as your father's, just as stubborn and inquisitive. , the same... well... if only the master was still there, it would be fine..."

Lan Niang's expression softened suddenly, as if she missed something.

Xia He couldn't see what Lan Niang was thinking about, so he could only swallow his saliva, moisten his burning throat, and turn his head away.

It's not just what Lan Niang told Dr. Yu, after a while, Dr. Yu stood beside Xia He's bed, although he was blowing his beard and staring, tried his feverish head, and went to prescribe medicine.After a while, Aunt Lin came over with a bowl of bitter soup, and it was Lan Niang who held Xia He in her arms and fed it little by little.Xia He was so thirsty, he didn't care if it was a bowl of soup medicine, and he gulped down the medicine like a knife cutting his throat when he swallowed it.It didn't take long for the medicine to take effect, and Xia He felt his head was groggy, and fell asleep.

She went to bed too early that day, and when Xia He opened her eyes the next day, the moon had not yet set outside, and the whole small village was so quiet that only insects were chirping.Xia He rolled his eyes, and for some reason, he had the idea of ​​fleeing.

He couldn't trust Lan Niang anymore, he always felt that what Lan Niang said yesterday was just coaxing him to drink medicine, and he didn't dare to see Mrs. Li, Xia He planned to escape, but he didn't know where to run away.Or should I find a direction at will, from here on the end of the world, people will go to each other, or I can go to the neighboring village and call Dongmei out quietly, or...

A name popped up in Xia He's mind, Li Mu.

He was afraid that Aunt Lin and Mrs. Li would know that he was a man, but for some reason, although he was also afraid of Li Mu, he was full of dependence.Maybe it's out of trust in the scholar, thinking that Li Mu can come up with ideas, or maybe, he just believes in Li Mu.

Or maybe, at this moment, Xia He just wanted to see him.

Thinking of this, Xia He sneaked out of bed, went to Li Mu's yard next door to flip through a long gown to wear, and wrote "Go to the academy, don't read" in the study, then rolled up his sleeves and flipped over the wall of Li's house , accompanied by Xingyue, embarked on the road to Qingjun Academy.

The author has something to say: It seems that a girl asked about the Adam's apple earlier?I just want to change my voice when Xia He finds out that he is a boy, la la la la [Hey]
