"Sixth Brother, tell us honestly, what exactly happened to Big Brother?"
The third brother's voice was solemn, unusually serious.
"Didn't I say that..."
Old Liu didn't even look up, giving a casual reply.
"No, I want to know now!"
Song Chengxin moved his injured foot away, refusing to let Lao Liu bandage it, showing a hint of stubbornness.
The sixth brother threw the handkerchief in his hand onto the bucket and glanced at the third brother:
"Fine! I'll make you suffer!"
The fifth and seventh brothers quickly stepped forward to help persuade them, "We want to know too, otherwise we'll be constantly on edge..."
If you don't want to say it twice later...
When Second Brother and Seventh Brother return, we'll be responsible for relaying the message..."
Upon seeing this, Song Chengfeng suddenly realized that his trouser leg had come loose. Looking down, he saw that it was Wen Shishi pulling on his trouser leg.
His childish face was devoid of any smile, filled only with worry.
Song Chengfeng glanced at them and said, "One of you, take Shishi to catch some fish first..."
The third brother and the others understood that they wanted to send Wen Shishi away so that their younger sister wouldn't worry.
The seventh brother stepped forward, ready to coax Wen Shishi out...
Wen Shishi dodged Lao Qi's arm but grabbed Lao Liu's trouser leg and wouldn't let go...
He remained resolute, saying, "I'm not leaving! I want to hear what's wrong with my brother!"
The little one had a stubborn expression.
There was no commotion, just a statement of opinion.
It's both touching and heartbreaking.
The third brother spoke up, making the final decision: "Shishi will stay; I'll keep an eye on her."
Seventh Brother wants to know too, right? Stay and listen together.
"Shishi, come here to Third Brother. Don't disturb Sixth Brother, let him speak slowly."
The third brother's words were concise and to the point, and this was the first time Wen Shishi had listened to him so obediently...
He immediately let go and went to his third brother's side.
Looking down at the wound on his third brother's foot, his eyes were filled with worry.
The sixth brother went back into the house, retrieved the prepared medicinal powder, knelt down to apply it to the third brother's wound, bandaged it up, and then let out a long sigh...
The fifth brother spoke up, "What exactly happened?"
The sixth man's voice was weak, "If it were some kind of illness, it would be easier to deal with..."
The crucial point is that my brother wasn't injured, caught a cold, or even poisoned...
He was simply frail, and the conditions during his exile were harsh, even though I carefully guarded him...
The eldest brother's health was fundamentally damaged. Adding to that, the series of accidents that occurred after he went to the island...
He was soaked in the rain, climbed mountains, and didn't get any rest all night. Even when we tried to stop him, my older brother did the manual labor...
But no matter what you look at...
Seeing Wen Shishi's sensible and worried eyes, Song Chengfeng quickly stopped and said:
"But the ones who offered advice and directed operations on-site were all the eldest brother."
The second brother charged into battle, and everyone else scattered...
Our eldest brother not only has to worry about us, but also about others!
My brother's health was completely ruined by overworking himself!
He wasn't in good health to begin with, so he should have noticed his discomfort long ago, and probably didn't want us to worry or become a burden...
"I've been putting on a brave face!"
Lao Liu was trying his best to stay composed as he said this.
But the last few words, spoken in a trembling voice, betrayed the self-reproach in his heart.
Upon hearing this, the fifth brother stepped back, never expecting the situation to be so serious...
He kept whispering, "How could this happen..."
The seventh brother looked worried and remorseful. "I was so careless!"
In reality, I can't be of much help with important matters; I mostly just spend time on the sidelines...
"I didn't even notice that my older brother was acting strangely..."
The third brother glanced at the fifth and seventh brothers, his voice resolute, "Now is not the time to waste time blaming ourselves..."
Sixth Brother, tell me! What can we do to make Big Brother get better?
The fifth and seventh brothers immediately snapped out of their emotional state and quickly echoed his sentiments.
The sixth brother shook his head. "As I said before, if there is an illness, I can prescribe the right medicine."
But now, the very foundation of my body has completely collapsed...
The only way is to rest quietly, reduce mental strain, and allow the foundation to gradually become solid...
However! This is a slow process; no one can say for sure how long it will take or what the recovery will be like!
The third brother was determined and encouraged his fellow brother, saying, "As long as there's a way, we must have confidence!"
Time is not a problem; we'll take our time to nurture it.
With your medical skills, Sixth Brother, I'll have less to worry about...
From now on, we'll continue to be responsible for our own affairs. We don't need to worry about what our second brother is in charge of...
So, the things my older brother was worried about, I was in charge of making the arrangements. I know my own limitations; I don't have my older brother's brains.
I'll use a simple, albeit clumsy, method: gather the brothers together, brainstorm, and discuss how to proceed...
"I'll improve as I go, learn as I go, and try not to worry my older brother. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, the fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers did not deny the third brother's statement for the first time.
Just then, Lao Shi appeared smiling in front of the courtyard gate.
Seeing the three older brothers...
Looking down, I saw Wen Shishi...
The three adults and one child all looked serious, even worried, and spoke more slowly.
"Third Brother, what are you doing?"
Why does everyone have that expression?
