Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

The more Li Laosan thought about it, the paler his face became. The old beggar once said that people with serious diseases would be locked up and left to fend for themselves because the disease was contagious.

If my nephew only injured his hand, why should he be locked up?

Li Yuer noticed that something was wrong with his uncle and asked, "What are you thinking about? You look so bad."

"No, it's okay." Li Laosan pretended to be calm and said, "Yu Baoer, don't go to the landlord's room."

"Why?" Li Yu'er narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Laosan, and asked thoughtfully: "Do you know something?"

"No, no, I just think that my cousin is sick and should rest. I'm afraid that you, a child, will disturb him while he is recovering." Li Laosan made a lame excuse.

Li Yuer snorted in his heart, thinking that this guy must be hiding something. He would go and find out secretly later.

Her heart skipped a beat. If she couldn't go to the landlord's house, wouldn't that mean she couldn't see her cousin? Why?

Did my cousin have some shameful disease? If he just hurt his hand, why would he shut himself up in seclusion and not see anyone, and act so secretive?

Li Yuer could naturally think of what Li Laosan could think of. Li Laosan associated a terrifying memory with heart disease, and Li Yuer associated it with a strange disease because of Li Laosan's strange instructions.

If my cousin really has some serious disease, will it be contagious?

She was thinking about it in her mind, but pretended to be calm on the surface and said, "I'm going to go out to relieve myself, you guys are busy."

She had to confirm this matter. If there really was some shameful disease, it would not be good to pass it on to the Li family.

In that era when medical care and medicine were scarce, a simple cold could be fatal.

Li Laosan suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Remember, don't bother your nephew."

Li Yuer stared into his eyes and assured him, "Don't worry, I would never casually enter a man's room."

Yes, how could I enter a man's room casually? Of course I didn't enter casually, I entered secretly.

She is only eight years old now, isn't she? Besides, what is more important than life? If we don't know what disease our cousin has, and if he loses his life because of it, it will be much more terrible than the strict rules between men and women.

Besides, she is very sensible and won't do anything rash.

In order to confuse Li Laosan, Li Yuer deliberately took a detour to the toilet in the backyard.

Then, when no one was paying attention, he sneaked back and slipped into the landlord's room.

The heavy wooden door was tightly closed, as if a terrible beast was locked inside.

Li Yuer tiptoed and approached quietly. She was also scared. If it was really an infectious disease... she didn't want to die again. Who knew if there would be an afterlife.

"Cough cough cough!" A heart-wrenching cough was heard, which could be heard clearly through the door. It was obvious that the person in the room was seriously ill.

"Could it be that he injured his hand and got tetanus?" Li Yu'er guessed, and then thought of another terrible possibility, "He coughs so badly, could it be tuberculosis?!"

This speculation shocked her very much. Tuberculosis is a lung disease, and in ancient times there was almost no cure for lung disease.

Li Yuer took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose. She couldn't help complaining in her heart that she must make a few masks later.

When spring comes, people go fishing or even go out to sea, exposed to the wind and sun, and masks are standard equipment.

She tried pushing the door hard, pushed it a little, and was delighted to find it was not locked, so she pushed it harder.

The door was pushed open, and a stronger strange smell came out, almost pushing her out.

What kind of medicine is this? It smells worse than dog shit.

She endured it again and again and looked inside.

It was not the messy and dirty scene as imagined, but instead a simple and elegant house.

There is a desk and a bookcase near the door. On the table are neatly arranged pens, inks, papers and inkstones. On the bookcase are rows of neatly placed books. It is not difficult to see that the owner takes good care of them.

A pot of blooming Clivia was placed on the windowsill, but unfortunately, the curtains were drawn on the window and the light in the room was very dim.

There was a screen in the middle of the room, and inside was a step-out bed with green bed curtains hanging down, so one couldn't see what was going on inside.

There was a tray on the bedside cabinet, with an empty medicine bowl on it.

At this time, bursts of suppressed coughing could be heard from time to time through the bed curtain.

Li Yuer knew that what she did was wrong, but she had to confirm the truth of the matter, as it concerned the physical health and life safety of the Li family.

Anyway, I've already come in, there's no point in regretting it.

Besides, she was only eight years old, not even old enough for boys and girls to separate in the countryside.

"Who?" A hoarse voice asked from behind the bed curtain.

What a keen insight! Li Yuer patted his chest, which was beating faster, and said, "My name is Li Yuer. I'm here to visit my relatives. I want to go to the toilet."

What a poor excuse, but Li Yuer relied on her young age and thought that she would not be punished even if she was discovered.

"go out."

Such a cold answer. Li Yuer curled her lips and was about to turn around and leave, but then she felt very embarrassed and the purpose of her trip had not been achieved yet.

She pretended to be dumb and said, "But I can't find the toilet. I can't hold it anymore."

She deliberately said in a crying voice that it was not difficult to tell from the furnishings in the house that the owner was a very clean person and would never allow anyone to urinate or defecate in his house.

Sure enough, the bed curtain moved, and the person inside lifted the curtain, revealing a pale and pretty face.

"The toilet is in the backyard, go out and walk to the back."

This is my eldest cousin. Judging from his appearance, he is a humble and handsome student.

His left hand was on the bed curtain, and his right hand was hidden between the curtains. He looked at Li Yu'er with an indifferent gaze, as if he was indifferent to the affairs of the world.

This is a young man with a story, Li Yuer concluded in his heart.

Moreover, he looked very weak, and it didn't look like a simple hand injury.

Is there really some strange disease?

But if you say it's a strange disease, it doesn't look like one. There are no strange symptoms, the eyes are clearly black and white, and the eyeballs are not bulging. It doesn't look like a lung disease either.

She does have a bit of Lin Daiyu's feeling, just pure weakness.

Could it be that this guy is a hypocritical hypocrite who indulges in excessive sexual activities and has kidney deficiency?

Li Yuer was shocked by her own thoughts and immediately denied this possibility in her mind.

Because the other person has no bags under his eyes, no dark circles, his eyes are weak but clear, and his hair is black and as thick as a waterfall, it is impossible for him to have kidney deficiency.

Li Yuer decided to continue testing the other party's strength, so she said in a tone that suited her age: "Big brother, are you okay? Are you sick? It must be very uncomfortable to be sick. Yu Baoer had a headache before, and it was so painful that I couldn't sleep well at night. Where are you sick?"

Cai Junyi, who had not gone out for a long time, felt a little depressed, but he couldn't get angry when facing an innocent little girl.

He said perfunctorily: "I hurt my hand. Since you are in a hurry, why don't you leave quickly?"

"Oh." Li Yuer nodded and said, "I don't want to go again."

"You!" Cai Junyi didn't expect that the little girl was so cunning and fickle. "Then go out and play." He said helplessly.

"But I don't want to go out and play. There are no kids here to play with me. How about, big brother, can you play with me?"

As they were talking, Li Yuer had already determined that the probability of the other party having a strange disease was very low. Although he hid it very deeply, she could see that he had a lot on his mind. His eyes were deep, and there was an inextricable melancholy hidden in them, with disappointment, resentment, and helplessness.

How much injustice had he suffered? What kind of enemies could a schoolboy have? Could it be the evil school bullying?

Li Yuer's brain was spinning rapidly at this moment, and he kept imagining.

Cai Junyi sighed and said, "I'm sick and can't play with you. Go out and play by yourself."

He thought for a moment, pointed at the candy on the low cabinet, and said, "Take this and have it."

This candy was prepared for him by his mother. Every time after he drank the medicine, his mother would prepare a piece of candy for him to sweeten his mouth. In his mother's eyes, he would always be a child.

Thinking of his mother's hard work and selfless dedication for him, Cai Junyi's eyes softened for a moment.

When he was a child, he didn't want to take medicine, so his mother tempted him with candy. He actually didn't like candy very much, but in order to reassure his parents, he happily ate it every time.

This habit has continued to this day.

Now, in his opinion, the bitterness of the medicine is nothing, not even one tenth of the bitterness in his heart.
