Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 424: At a Crossroads 1

"Saburo!"

The wonton stall owner saw that Chen Sanlang looked unhappy, so he turned back to take a look. As a result, he saw Chen Sanlang fall to the ground.

He shouted into the alley, but there was no response. The person was still lying motionless on the cold ground. He became anxious, dropped the copper spoon in his hand, and ran over on the thin snow.

He ran and shouted:

"Chen Jia Sanlang, Sanlang, what's wrong with you?"

The stall owner touched his forehead, the scorching heat made him feel nervous. He turned his head and shouted into the alley: "Brother Huo! Is Brother Huo home?"

In the twelfth lunar month, there is no one in the alleys, but there are idle people in every house.

After the wonton stall owner helped Chen Sanlang up and leaned him against himself, his urgent shouting called several neighbors out of the house.

"Hey! What happened?..." An old lady pushed open the door and asked from the door.

Someone immediately asked curiously:

"Who is this? Why did he fall?"

"This is inside that door." The wonton stall owner quickly explained, pointing to the door where Chen Sanlang lived.

"He seemed to be ill. I saw him look strange when he passed by my stall. I took a closer look and saw him fall down here..."

A woman nearby had been watching without saying anything. Now she took two big steps out of the door, came over, squatted down, took a look, and slapped her thigh.

"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Chen San? What are you talking about..."

Then he stood up and ran to the door of the rental yard, raised his fist,

"Bang, bang, bang..." He pounded on the door vigorously, shouting anxiously:

"Oh no! Your Third Master Chen has fallen down. Come and have a look—"

There was a loud knock on the door, and after two knocks, the gate opened. Two people wearing coarse linen aprons and holding scrapers opened the door and crowded in front of it to look out.

The lady knocking on the door was anxious, "You are still thinking about what to do, your third son Chen has fallen down, look! He has fainted... Why are you still standing there, quickly carry him in! Quickly!"

The two carpenters were stunned for a while, and after listening to everyone's conversation, they walked out in a daze.

The two men hurriedly carried Chen Sanlang into the yard. The warmth in the house could not dispel the frown on Chen Sanlang's brow.

He was delirious due to the fever and was mumbling something intermittently. The people who followed him in gradually dispersed. The two carpenters looked at each other and decided to go find a doctor first.

As a result, he bumped into Huo Ying who was running back before he even walked out of the alley. The empty sleeve of his one arm left a shadow in the wind. He didn't even look at the carpenter who staggered after being bumped by him.

I ran into the house and saw Chen Sanlang's eyes closed. He gasped and muttered, "What happened? He was fine when we separated..."

The carpenter politely said to his boss, "He was carried in. He fell down at the door. Let him warm up first. I've already gone to ask the doctor..."

Huo Ying reached out and touched Chen Sanlang's forehead. He heard the hot man mumbling something intermittently. Huo Ying leaned down and got closer to hear, "Jinyi, Jinyi, how are you..."

Huo Ying seemed to understand something. Oh! His brother has a woman? !

Which vixen had seduced his brother's soul away? Huo Ying thought bitterly...

Huo Ying waved his hand to let them go, and sat on the edge of the bed to catch his breath. He said softly,

"Brother, you are so mean. You didn't tell me what was on your mind. It was my carelessness that made me not notice anything. Also, you are already nineteen. You will be twenty next year?!"

"Yes, you are twenty! ..."

He repeated silently, smiling bitterly in his heart, he was so busy making money that he forgot that he and his brother should get married!

Looking back at Chen Sanlang who was delirious due to fever, Huo Ying recalled the scene when he first met Chen Sanlang and was stunned for a moment.

There was a knock on the door. Huo Ying got up, opened the door and invited the doctor in. Chen Sanlang on the bed suddenly moved, his eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Huo Ying hurried over: "Sanlang? How do you feel?"

Chen Sanlang's eyes were still a little hazy. He looked at the beams on the roof. After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Brother, I want to go home... I miss her..."

When Huo Ying saw someone coming in, he quickly interrupted.

"The doctor is here. He has examined the patient. Now we can drink some water."

Chen Sanlang turned his gaze to the doctor who came in, looked behind him, and closed his eyes again with a lonely look.

From that day on, Chen Sanlang was ill for three days, until two days before the New Year, when he finally managed to go to the academy.

His silence and sick appearance caused Wang Wendong to look at him sideways, but thinking of the reminder from his family, he secretly glanced at him and pretended not to see it.

The academy will be closed for the New Year from the 28th to the 15th of the 12th lunar month, and classes will resume on the 16th.

Huo Ying came to the academy specifically to pick up his sick brother, and also to meet big brother Sun Wei. However, he did not meet him. Instead, the sick brother lowered his head and silently walked out of the gate of Xunyang Academy and walked back silently.

Huo Ying originally disliked Chen Sanlang, because of his cowardly attitude of keeping everything to himself and not saying anything. But when he saw that this little brother had lost a lot of weight, he spat in disappointment.

He took two quick steps to catch up with him, took the book box, carried Chen Sanlang and walked back.

On this day, the Four Brothers Woodworking Shop in Xunyang City also had a New Year holiday. In the evening, the two owners gave out New Year bonuses to everyone.

Mr. Chen, who was usually eloquent, sat silently with a sick look on his face. Instead, Mr. Huo, who was originally tongue-tied, spoke a lot.

Finally, Huo Ying wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked to Chen Sanlang.

"Sanlang, what do you want to say?"

Chen Sanlang raised his eyes and scanned everyone's faces, his voice still a little shaky, "Thank you for your hard work this year."

After a pause, he looked at the expectant eyes of everyone in the room and then said:

"Brother Huo has calculated the wages and bonuses. After the New Year... let's continue to work hard."

Seeing that Chen Sanlang didn't want to say more, Huo Ying took over the task of arranging people to guard the store and give them holidays. They were busy until midnight, and the two of them walked towards their residence under the starry sky.

Huo Ying wanted to ask what happened, but he didn't know how to start. He kept scratching his head and felt uncomfortable. He also walked to the gate of the courtyard.

Huo Ying had already thought it through when he pushed open the gate and asked directly:

"Chen Sanlang, do you really recognize me as your elder brother? Just tell me how I am in your heart..."

Before he could finish, Chen Sanlang walked in from behind, closed the door and said:

"Brother, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Okay! Let's go inside and talk."

The two entered the room and turned on the light. Huo Ying sat down on the edge of the bed angrily, slapped the bed with his only hand and asked:

"You said you are so thoughtful at such a young age, why don't you tell me if you have any problems?..."

Chen Sanlang stood silently at the door, watching Huo Ying's actions. He was still confused and didn't want to listen to Huo Ying's nagging about friendship, so he simply interrupted Huo Ying's question:

"Brother, if you have something to say, just say it."
