After a while, there was a knock on the door. Ye Jingan hid under the quilt and said, "Brother Liu, just come in."
"Ye Jing'an, are you okay? Here's a blanket for you." Qiu Zimu put the blanket on him.
"Hmm?" Ye Jingan sat up, "What are you doing here?"
"Didn't you say it was cold?" Qiu Zimu said speechlessly, "You used to go swimming in the river for two or three hours in the fall and no one ever complained about being cold. How come you're cold in this hot weather?"
"My legs were pulled by a ghost and my heart was chilled. What do you know?" Ye Jing'an retorted.
Qiu Zimu was surprised and said, "Oh my god, your legs have been pulled out. I'm going to die in your place."
"Where is Brother Liu? Why did I ask you to bring me a quilt?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"He said you were too heavy and it was tiring to hold you, so he needed to rest for a while," said Qiu Zimu.
"Oh, Brother Liu gave me artificial respiration? He took the initiative?" Ye Jing'an asked again.
"How is it possible? Who can do it with someone like you? I instigated it! He couldn't do it either, and I had to force him down. You woke up before we even did it once." Qiu Zimu said.
"Can't you press him gently? I woke up because my mouth hurt!" Ye Jing'an said speechlessly.
"Just wake up! You're dithering. Brother Liu almost got angry. I was scared to death." Qiu Zimu said.
Ye Jingan suppressed his laughter, thinking that his brother was very capable! He pretended to be serious and said, "Who told you to cheat him? You deserve it!"
Qiu Zimu said with a strange smile: "If not him, who else should I cheat? It's just the two of us standing there. If I give you artificial respiration, I'll want to cut my mouth off."
"Don't talk nonsense to me, there are plenty of people who want to kiss me!" Ye Jing'an said disdainfully, "Your mouth is always stuffing bugs in it, don't get close to me!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Liu and I don't really want to." Qiu Zimu stood up. "Just lie down quietly. I'll give you some relief."
"Get out!" Ye Jing'an threw the blanket over.
"Ah?! Aren't you tired? Aren't you cold? Why are you throwing it at me?!" Qiu Zimu picked up the blanket and ran away, "You'll freeze to death!"
In fact, he was really cold, his whole body was icy cold, and even sleeping in the quilt was not warm. He wanted to find someone to warm the quilt, but relying on Brother Liu was unlikely. After a whole morning of hard work, diving and drowning, he had exhausted too much physical strength, and now his stomach was rumbling with hunger. Ye Jing'an checked the time. It was almost time for dinner, so he sat in front of the door to bask in the sun and wait for the meal.
After Guoguo's mother learned that they were drowning, she specially prepared some dishes to dispel cold and dampness, and also boiled a large pot of brown sugar ginger tea. Looking at the large table of dishes, Ye Jingan said anxiously, "Why hasn't Brother Liu come down yet? I'm starving!"
"You guys eat first, I'll go call him." said Guoguo's mother.
After a while, Liu Muzhe came down and paused when he saw Ye Jingan at the corner. Under Ye Jingan's gaze, he calmly walked to the living room, got a cup of hot water and went upstairs again.
"Brother Liu, where are you going? Come and have dinner." Ye Jing'an shouted.
"I'm not hungry and don't want to eat." Liu Muzhe continued walking.
"How can you not be hungry? You just said you were tired of holding me. You must be hungry." Ye Jing'an said.
"I caught a cold after going into the water just now and now I have a headache. I'll go back and lie down for a while. You guys eat." Liu Muzhe walked upstairs quickly.
"So many excuses." Ye Jingan muttered softly, "Did he catch a cold?"
"It took me a lot of effort to pull you out of the water. I asked Brother Liu to carry you ashore. He was soaked all over. You've caught a cold. Brother Liu can't swim and he definitely hasn't gone into the water before. His small body definitely can't handle it." Qiu Zimu said.
Ye Jingan sneered, "You don't think he's weak because of his small size, do you? Have you forgotten how he kicked the crying cat corpse away?"
Qiu Zimu was stunned: "Uh..."
Ye Jingan filled a bowl of rice for Liu Muze, picking up many of his favorite dishes. He stuffed the unfinished food in his own bowl into his mouth and took the rice to Liu Muze's room. Ye Jingan swallowed the rice in his mouth, knocked on the door and said, "Brother Liu, can I come in?"
After shouting for a while, no one answered and the door didn't open. Ye Jing'an gently turned the handle to open it a crack and saw Liu Muze lying on the bed sleeping.
"Brother Liu, I brought you some food. Hurry up and eat something before going to sleep." Ye Jing'an put the food on the bedside table and patted Liu Muze's quilt. Seeing that Liu Muze didn't respond, Ye Jing'an poked his face with his finger, but there was still no movement.
Could it be that he really has lost his mind due to the fever?
Ye Jingan put his hand on Liu Muze's forehead and then on his own forehead to test the temperature. It was about hot, not to the point of being unconscious. Ye Jingan came closer, squinted his eyes to look at him, and then laughed muffledly. He reached out and touched his face and said, "This is too hot! Brother Liu is cold and has a fever and has fainted. Let me cool you down."
Ye Jingan got on the bed and hugged Liu Muze into his arms. Liu Muze was as warm as a small stove. Ye Jingan was still cold after dinner, and he was so happy to hold Liu Muze. He gently stroked Liu Muze's hair and said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Liu caught a cold."
Ye Jingan was already hugging Liu Muze until he was warm, but Liu Muze still didn't move. Ye Jingan looked down and saw that the person in his arms had red ears. He tried his best to hold back his laughter and pinched Liu Muze's ears with his hands.
He still didn't move, but Ye Jing'an saw the redness of his ears spread from the base of his ears to his face. Ye Jing'an couldn't help laughing, and leaned close to his ear and said, "Brother Liu, your face and ears are all red."
"Tsk, can't you just let me get some good sleep?! Get out and don't bother me!" Liu Muzhe buried his face in the quilt with an unhappy tone.
"Why don't you pretend anymore?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"I'm not pretending! I was asleep and you woke me up." Liu Muzhe retorted.
"Oh, that's my fault. Now that you're awake, eat something first, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold." Ye Jing'an said.
"I'm not hungry." Liu Muze had just finished speaking when his stomach growled. He really wanted to draw his sword and stab himself in the stomach. He was so ignorant.
"Hahahahahaha...what was that noise just now?" Ye Jing'an leaned in closer and said, "Stop pretending. Who would touch you if you were really asleep? When I covered you with a quilt at night, you put a knife to my neck. Now you're touching and hugging me. You've been holding it in for quite a while."
"Don't hug me!" Liu Muzhe pushed Ye Jing'an away.
"Brother Liu, you blush too easily." Ye Jing'an said with a smile.
"I have a disease, it makes me look red easily!" said Liu Muzhe.
"Oh, Brother Liu, you graduated from a drama academy, right? You're such a good actor." Seeing that Liu Muze was still pretending to be dead and ignoring him, Ye Jing'an said, "Okay, it's nothing. It's just a kiss, what's the big deal? No tongue was stuck out. Nowadays, kissing is a casual thing, and there are so many other things... Don't be embarrassed, I've lost my memory from now on. I don't remember anything that happened before."
Kissing is a casual thing? It's so common?
Liu Muze raised his head, stared at him and asked, "Have you kissed many people?"
"No, I haven't kissed him. Brother Liu is the first person to kiss me. Hehe, I kissed my ancestor on the face." Ye Jingan said, "Brother Liu, don't think too much. Artificial respiration is not a kiss. It's a different nature."
Ye Jingan got up, helped Liu Muze sit up, handed the meal to him and said, "Okay, okay, eat quickly, I'm leaving."
Liu Muze breathed a sigh of relief. We were all men, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. Liu Muze touched his face. After so many years, he still hadn't gotten rid of his habit of blushing easily.
After a satisfying meal and a warming sensation, Ye Jing'an recalled his recent underwater experience. Brother Liu had said he wouldn't harm anyone, and it was he who had saved Guoguo when she was dragged to the lake by the monkey. So why hadn't the accomplice let him take the skull? And why had he let him go just when he was about to lose his temper?
Ye Jing'an suddenly felt that this was outrageous. Did he have to kneel down and kowtow to him three times before taking his bones and tell him that he wanted to help him?
"What are you thinking about?" Qiu Zimu asked.
"Think about the ghost. Do you think the ghost will feel cold if it stays in the water all the time?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"It's more than just cold. It's recorded in the book that the minions will be tortured by the biting cold all the time. It's like freezing you in a refrigerator at minus 80 degrees and not letting you die. So many minions are looking for substitutes." Qiu Zimu said.
"Is that so? No wonder my dad asked me to rescue him. Eh?! Can't he go and reincarnate? Why does he stay in the water and suffer, and not let me help him?" Ye Jing'an was confused.
"Ask him why he doesn't want to leave?" Qiu Zimu said.
"How do you ask?" Ye Jing'an had read about this method of summoning spirits in a book before, but he didn't know how to do it.
"Is your surname Ye or mine?" Qiu Zimu sneered.
"Call me Brother Liu. People with the last name Liu are generally reliable." Ye Jing'an and Qiu Zimu blocked Liu Muze's door. "Brother Liu, have you rested well? We have something to ask you."
"Well, what's the matter?" Liu Muzhe opened the door, his expression had returned to its previous calm state.
"That water ghost doesn't want to be rescued. We want to ask him the reason. Can Brother Liu summon him up?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"It's difficult to recruit him without knowing his identity and without personal belongings, unless he is willing to come himself," said Liu Muzhe.
"That's impossible. He himself doesn't want us to take the skull out, let alone come out to chat with us." Ye Jing'an said.
"Brother Liu is so powerful. He knows that he is hiding in the water. Can't he be forced to come out?" Qiu Zimu asked.
"..." Liu Muzhe said, "My spell becomes ineffective when it comes into contact with water. As long as he hides in the water, I can't do anything to him."
Qiu Zimu was secretly happy, thinking that next time he offended Brother Liu, he could hide in the water.
Ye Jing'an thought, this ghost didn't want to be reincarnated and suffer here, and he had no resentment and didn't exist, which meant that there was someone in this world that he cared about.
Fortunately, this lake is not very famous and not many people come here to travel. Even if something happened during the trip, his companions would ask the police to rescue him. This person might be from the village. I don't believe he fell into the water and drowned, and no one has found him yet. On second thought, if you go out alone to travel, this kind of situation is also very likely to happen.
