The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

"Knockknock", "Brother, are you asleep?" Su Lun stood in front of Su Zheng's door, knocked gently, and asked in a low voice.

Su Zheng, who was inside the house, heard the noise coming from outside the door. His eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened. A trace of doubt appeared on his face. He asked softly, "Is Allen back? Come in quickly."

After getting a response from the person in the room, Su Lun couldn't wait to push open the door and walked towards Su Zheng's bed with big strides, asking with concern as he walked: "Brother, I heard that your leg recovered smoothly. How do you feel now? Is it still painful?"

Looking at his worried brother, Su Zheng quickly smiled and shook his head, indicating that everything was fine, and told Su Zhe beside him to help him up.

Su Lun walked to the bed, reached out to support Su Zheng, and after Su Zheng sat steadily, he looked at Su Zheng's face carefully. Only after confirming that he was in good physical condition did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The two chatted about some family matters, and Su Zheng suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Su Lun, "Alan, why did you come back today? Didn't you say you would wait until the day off to come back?"

When Su Lun heard this, he quickly explained, "Brother, I was ordered by the general to go out on a mission. I passed by my house and wanted to come back to see you."

"So that's how it is." Su Zheng nodded in sudden realization, and then asked with concern: "So how did you complete your mission this time? Was it smooth?"

"Yeah, it went pretty smoothly." Su Lun nodded, and then added as if remembering something, "But I might be very busy in the next period of time, and I will go home less often, so I'll ask you to take care of the family."

After hearing this, Su Zheng quickly waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to worry. "Just go and do your thing. I'm at home, and everything will be fine. But you're out there alone, so you must pay attention to your safety, especially on the battlefield. Swords have no eyes, so you must be extra careful."

"I understand, brother." Su Lun nodded and responded to his brother's instructions.

As soon as Su Lun entered the room, he found several medical books on the bedside table and asked curiously, "Brother, are you studying medicine again?"

Su Zheng smiled and replied, "Oh, Doctor Yao said that I can't move these few days and can only lie in bed, so I want to read medical books to kill time."

Su Lun reminded him with concern: "Brother, you should read in moderation and don't get too tired. You haven't recovered yet and need more rest. Even if you want to study medicine, there is no need to rush. You can wait until you are better and then take your time."

Su Zheng nodded to show his understanding: "Don't worry, Allen, I know what I am doing and I won't joke with my body. I just think these medical books are interesting and I can learn a lot from reading them."

Hearing his elder brother say this, Su Lun laughed and joked, "Then won't our family have a miracle doctor?"

Su Zheng glared at Su Lun and said unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Su Lun quickly explained: "Brother, I'm not talking nonsense. You are so smart and hardworking, you will definitely become a famous doctor in the future."

After hearing this, Su Zheng couldn't help laughing: "Okay, stop talking nonsense."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"By the way, brother, do you remember that when we were young, there was a Chu merchant in town who taught us Chu language?" Su Lun suddenly asked.

"Oh?" Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about Uncle Lin? Of course I remember him, but he went back to Chu many years ago. What happened?"

"It's nothing. I just heard that there was a severe drought in the State of Chu this year, and the harvest was poor, and many people starved to death. The court is worried that a war might break out, so it is actively preparing for it. I thought of Uncle Lin, and I wonder how he is doing now." Su Lun said evasively.

"I see." Su Zheng nodded. "I hope everything is going well for him. I don't know if I'll have the chance to see him again. Back then you liked to follow Uncle Lin and listen to his stories. You even made a fuss for a long time after he left. But later you got sick, and I didn't expect you still remembered him..."

"Brother, I haven't lost my memory, so how could I not remember? Uncle Lin told us a lot about the history, culture and customs of the Chu State. He also told us some myths and legends and folk stories, which opened our eyes. It's a pity that Uncle Lin left here, otherwise we could ask him more about the Chu State." Su Lun said regretfully.

"I remember Uncle Lin said he was from Hancheng. Hancheng has many mountains and few fields, and Uncle Lin has no one at home, so he went out to do business. We parted in a hurry that year, and I'm afraid we won't see each other again." Su Zheng said with emotion.

Su Lun's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Things in life are unpredictable, maybe we will meet again someday..."

Thinking of Uncle Lin, Su Lun felt a strange feeling in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong. Uncle Lin said that he was just a businessman and was born in a small place like Hancheng, but his knowledge and conversation were quite extraordinary... But Su Lun couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

"Alan, why are you suddenly interested in the affairs of the State of Chu?"

"Isn't this because knowing both ourselves and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle? What if a war really breaks out..." Su Lun chuckled.

Su Zheng nodded: "Well, it's good to know. If a fight really breaks out, you must be careful."

"Hehe, big brother, don't worry. A good man should serve his country. I train every day now, and my physical fitness is much better than before. I will be careful. Well, it's getting late, so I won't disturb you to rest. I'll go back first. I have to go to the military camp early tomorrow morning." Su Lun said and stood up to say goodbye.

"Well, go to bed early. Azhe, send Allen off for me."

"Brother, I can go back by myself. Ah Zhe, please take good care of my brother."

After Su Lun returned to his residence, he couldn't sleep. The scenes of his childhood with Uncle Lin emerged in his mind.

At that time, he was still a child, full of curiosity and yearning for the world. And Uncle Lin was like a beacon, illuminating his way forward.

Uncle Lin always smiled gently and patiently answered all the questions he asked. I wonder if I will have the chance to meet him again during this trip to Chu.

Thinking that he had to go to the military camp early tomorrow morning, Su Lun forced himself not to think about it anymore and went to sleep quickly. Unfortunately, even in his dreams, he could only see Uncle Lin.

Before dawn the next day, Su Lun got up and prepared to leave. He didn't intend to disturb others. But housekeeper Su seemed to have expected him to do so and thoughtfully prepared some breakfast and warm water.

"Sir, it's still early. You should eat something. Military training is not easy." Butler Su said with concern.

"Thank you, Uncle Su." Su Lun took the breakfast from Su Hao and started eating it.

After finishing his meal, Su Lun ran quickly to the stable. His speed was so fast that even the housekeeper Su beside him was a little worried.

"Sir, you just finished your meal. Please slow down and be careful." Butler Su reminded worriedly from behind.

Su Lun waved his hand and said, "I understand, Uncle Su, you should go back and have a rest."

After saying this, he jumped on his horse and galloped away like a gust of wind.
