When a person is dizzy due to fever, his thoughts can easily drift along with it...

Uchiha Madara then remembered many years ago...

It was really many, many, many years ago...

My mother was still there at that time, and so were my brothers.

One time, he didn’t remember the reason. In short, he caught a cold and had a fever. He fell asleep without knowing it. When he woke up, he was startled...

Because the whole family was sitting around him.

Father, mother, Izuna, Setsuna, Arata... and also, Ma Hong, who was still in her mother's belly at that time.

"Dad...Mom..." He was confused and accidentally shouted out the names he used to call his parents when he was a child.

"You stinky boy," his father opened his mouth to scold him, "Let's see if you dare to act up next time."

"..."

"Okay." Mother motioned her father to shut up with her eyes, "Come on, Madara, take the medicine."

So his father held him in his arms and gave him medicine with a dark face.

Just after taking the first sip, he bared his teeth: "It's so bitter..."

The father sneered and said: "It's hard, I just want to teach you a lesson. I haven't asked the doctor to add more coptis to your medicine."

"..."

"What is Coptis chinensis?" Setsuna asked softly.

Xin replied seriously: "A very bitter medicine."

"How painful is it?" Hua asked again.

"I'll find some for you to try next time." Quan Nai replied with a smile.

The mother stretched out her hand and rubbed Izuna's little head, and said helplessly: "Izuna, don't bully Setsuna." Then she took out a candy from her sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth, "Come on, Madara, that's it.

It’s no longer painful.”

So while chewing the candy, he replied vaguely: "Mom, I'm not a child anymore!"

But, that sugar...

It's so sweet.

It instantly washes away all the bitter taste in your mouth.

Maybe that's why?

When I recall this memory in the future, I just feel that it also has a faint sweet fragrance.

later……

There were only him and Quan Na at home.

When they were teenagers, he and Quan Nai would occasionally get sick. Whenever the other needed medicine, he and Quan Nai always had some candy hidden in their sleeves.

"Quanna, come and eat some sweets."

"Brother, ah——"

They are all men who are not afraid of hardship, but they do like to eat a piece of candy after taking medicine. Later... after Izuna died, no one kept a piece of candy for him. But it didn't matter, he was very strong, very strong

, I will no longer get sick easily, I will no longer need to take medicine, and I will no longer need...

It tastes like sugar.

With such thoughts in mind, the old man fell into a drowsy state again. At this moment, he was holding a piece of very sweet candy in his mouth.

The girl carefully put the man back on the bed and put the towel on his forehead again. She thought to herself: I have taken the medicine and will be fine soon, right?

She doesn't like the smell of medicine and likes sweets.

"Mr. Quan" also likes sweets.

To judge others by herself, she felt that her action of stuffing candy into his mouth to dispel the smell of the medicine was okay. As for whether it would cause tooth decay... well, the cat was already blind in one eye. If he had a few more tooth decay, it would be a problem.

Not big... right?

She stayed with her patiently for a while, looked at the time, called out three more clones, and said: "One of you is looking at the porridge, one is looking at the people, and the other one is going to make the medicine when the time is up."

, I will go back first and come back in the evening." She thought to herself, fortunately she had anticipated this when buying the porridge and asked the boss to make it more juicy and less rice. In this way, it would be almost ready to eat by the evening.

"Okay~"

"receive!"

"Hmm."

Perhaps because he had been lacking enough and stable sleep before, Uchiha Madara slept for a long time, and finally woke up around evening time.

He woke up to the rich smell of porridge.

Just as his eyelashes trembled, he heard a loud noise——

"Ah! The eyes are moving!"

"real?"

"Where? Where?"

…

Uchiha Madara slowly opened his eyes and saw three girls kneeling side by side on his right side, staring at him without blinking. Seeing that he woke up, the three girls raised their hands at the same time and let out a cry.

cheer--

"Wake up! Okay!" x3

"..." So annoying.

The old cat looked at the three of them with his single eye, and saw the whole truth clearly in one second, so he asked: "She's not here?" The moment he spoke, he felt that his voice was hoarse and harsh.

This "she" naturally refers to the identity of these girls.

"Go back to work!"

"If I don't work hard, how will I have the money to support you and treat you?"

"It's just that I spent a lot of money to treat you!"

"Besides, I have a husband, brother-in-law, and children, so I can't stay with you all day long."

Uchiha Madara: Tsk.

That kid, didn't he fulfill his duty as a "kidnapper" at all?

Just as he thought this, he felt the familiar chakra; then, there were rapid footsteps; and then, the paper partition door of the room was opened.

"Original body! Wake up!"

"Wake up! Wake up!"

…

The girl subconsciously looked at the man on the bed, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she quickly walked over and knelt down, smiled, reached out and took off the towel on the man's head, and touched his head: "Sure enough, it's already happened.

The fever is gone."

"Pa!" Uchiha Madara raised his hand, grabbed the thin wrist of the person in front of him, and warned in a cold tone, "Kid, don't touch me casually."

"Hi, hi." She thought to herself, "When you were sleeping, I touched you completely - well, don't get me wrong, it was with chakra." Then she retracted her hand very cooperatively and said, "

It'll be fine once the fever subsides, and you'll be fine soon." She used a little force to free her wrist from the man's hot palm, scrubbed the towel again, and put it back on his forehead.

Uchiha Madara subconsciously avoided it.

"Don't move." The girl stretched out her hand, like holding down an overly disobedient cat. She put the towel on his forehead semi-forcibly, and then complained, "Don't be so wary. If I want to

If you did anything bad, you would have died a long time ago. Besides, you should have checked your body after you woke up, right? I didn't do anything unnecessary while you were unconscious." At this point, she tilted her head,

I don’t know why a sentence suddenly popped out of his mouth, “For example, what kind of charm should I put in your heart?”

Uchiha Madara: "..." He subconsciously checked his body again to make sure that there was nothing unnecessary in his heart, and then retorted with a sneer, "Who knows whether your 'observance of etiquette' this time is for the sake of the next person."

Be prepared for this 'faux pas'. After all, you are a kidnapper."

"...Hi, hi." She was too lazy to pay attention to the big black cat with an overly eccentric temper, and just said to one of its clones, "Go and make some medicine."

The avatar nodded and ran out quickly.

"What medicine?" Uchiha Madara frowned.

"Medicine to treat colds and fevers." She explained, "I specially asked someone to prescribe it. Don't worry, the person didn't see your face and didn't know they were treating you. Also, you had already drank it once when you were asleep.

, you will know if it is harmful to you."

"..." Uchiha Madara thought, and sure enough, the feeling when he was in coma was not a fake. He was indeed given medicine, but judging from the effect of the medicine and his current physical condition, it was indeed not a harmful thing. Also, "Kid."

, after you gave me the medicine, did you stuff candy into my mouth?"

"It's stuffed." The girl replied confidently, "But aren't you afraid that your mouth will be bitter when you wake up? Just eat one piece when you sleep occasionally, and you won't get cavities. If you get cavities later, it's definitely because you don't take good care of yourself.
