Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5436 Bathing
"Well, that's probably what happened."

The owner of the house proved himself to be a good man.

"I didn't do anything to your brother."

"I also helped him find his brother."

……

The woodcutter pursed his lips.

My brother has actually been in this house for several days...

It rained for several days.

Looking at his brother's clothes that were not completely dry, the woodcutter's face became increasingly ugly.

“…What on earth happened?”

He doesn't understand.

How could his brother, who had always been clean and gentle, become so miserable and decadent?
……

“I can probably guess that.”

Hearing the woodcutter's doubts, the owner of the house spoke.

Seeing the woodcutter looking at him, he spread his hands and said, "Your brother's situation is actually not uncommon."

"Every year among the candidates who fail the exam, there are always a few who cannot accept the fact that they have failed and go crazy."

"But your brother is so young."

"The people I've seen going crazy before were all candidates who took the exam several times but still failed."

"He reacted so strongly..."

The owner of the house chose his words carefully and said, "Is it because your family has high expectations of him..."

……

The woodcutter was stunned.

As for expectations...

Naturally, their family has high expectations for young scholars.

After all, the performance of young scholars has always been there.

And the young scholar himself has high expectations for himself...

……

"right?"

The owner of the house observed the woodcutter's expression.

“So once we fail, the blow is huge.”

"But it has come to this..."

The owner of the house shook his head and said, "It's been so many days..."

“That’s pretty impressive too.”

"Take him home quickly."

"Get a doctor to see him."

"Don't let a good person be ruined."

“Not really.”

"Your family members should persuade him more."

"It's not like you only have one chance."

"He's still young."

“It’s not good to have such a bad attitude.”

……

The woodcutter clenched his fists.

He felt something was wrong...

I don't know what's wrong...

Based on his understanding of his brother...

My brother is not such a fragile person.

After all, their parents died early, and the two brothers have supported each other through thick and thin to get to where they are today.

My younger brother is a man with a lot of ideas.

So at that time, a man, without telling anyone, stood in the snow outside Cheng's door and became his future teacher.

When he first learned that his younger brother wanted to study, he was really surprised.

I even thought my brother was just daydreaming.

People like them...

How can we produce scholars?

……

My younger brother started his studies under such unfavorable circumstances.

Work hard.

Later, more and more people began to look forward to him.

He even reestablished friendly relations with their family for the sake of his younger brother.

……

The woodcutter was stunned.

Yes.

Before I knew it...

My younger brother was bearing great expectations.

……

sudden……

The woodcutter thought of what his aunt said that day.

The words that once made him feel angry and disapproving...

Now it seems... that what he said has come true.

……

The woodcutter didn't want to believe it.

But the appearance of my brother in front of me...

It would no longer be possible for him to reject it outright like he did back then.

……

"Boom~"

Thunder exploded in the sky.

……

"Ouch."

The owner of the house immediately exclaimed.

"It's thundering. It's going to rain."

"Why is it raining again?"

"It rains all day long."

"All right."

"I'm leaving."

"You guys should leave right away too."

"I am also very distressed that you have been staying in my house all the time."

……

"Ok."

The woodcutter nodded.

"We'll be leaving soon." "Thank you for taking care of my brother."

"My brother has caused you trouble."

……

"fine."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was very good, the owner of the house's tone also improved a lot.

"Actually, your brother didn't cause me any trouble."

The young scholar just stayed in one place without moving.

But he was worried that something might happen to the young scholar in his house, and then the government and the young scholar's family would come after him.

Then he really couldn't explain it.

……

The owner of the house left in a hurry.

Who knows how long this rain will last?
If you don't leave early, you'll be trapped in this house.

Not only does the house look abandoned on the outside, but the inside is almost the same.

There's nothing we can do here except hide from the rain.

There is nothing either.

……

The woodcutter withdrew his gaze from watching the owner of the house leave.

He lowered his head.

There is a complex feeling of heaviness and anxiety in my heart.

He bent down and carried the young scholar on his back.

This is not a good place or time for conversation.

Let’s take my brother back to the inn first.

It's going to rain.

My brother can't stand the rain anymore.

……

My younger brother carried me on his back.

The woodcutter frowned.

I wonder if it was his misunderstanding?

My brother seems to have lost a lot of weight.

……

The woodcutter shook his head slightly.

He took a long stride.

Soon they left the abandoned house.

……

The woodcutter came to the inn.

He immediately asked the waiter to bring hot water.

The young scholar finally seemed to react.

He refused the woodcutter's offer to help him take a bath.

……

The woodcutter was a little worried.

After repeatedly reminding my brother to be careful, I went downstairs to the kitchen to make ginger soup.

Is he still hesitating whether to see a doctor?
He was shocked by his brother's behavior in the house before.

It even scared him a little.

But on the way back to the inn, my brother behaved very quietly.

Just now, he also asked to take a shower himself.

Acting seemingly normal.

……

Let’s take another look.

The woodcutter thought.

Take a bath, drink a bowl of ginger soup, and eat something...

According to the owner of the house, my younger brother had been in that house for several days.

That brother must have not eaten for a few days.

Thinking of this, the woodcutter frowned severely.

……

The woodcutter was very angry at his brother for treating his body like this.

What followed was an increasingly intense worry.

My brother was so shocked...

……

The woodcutter quickly returned to the house with the ginger soup and some simple food.

My brother hasn't eaten for many days.

It's not good to eat a lot of meat and fish all at once.

Your stomach won't be able to bear it.

……

"younger brother."

The woodcutter put what he had in his hand on the table.

"Are you done washing?"

……

"younger brother?"

The woodcutter turned around in confusion when he got no response.

After shouting a few more times, the woodcutter suddenly realized something and rushed to the bathtub room.

……

"younger brother!"

The woodcutter saw a head of black hair floating on the water in the bathtub.

……

The woodcutter immediately reached out his hand.

Pulled the young scholar out of the bathtub.

"Are you OK?!"

……

Water splashed everywhere.

The young scholar was lying on the edge of the bathtub.

“Ahem~Ahem!”

The young scholar coughed violently.

……

The woodcutter was angry and worried.

He reached out and patted the young scholar on the back.

Being angry is with yourself.

I know clearly that my brother has not had any water in the past few days and has no strength...
