Chapter 145: Disappearing into thin air

Zhou He pursed his lips slightly, and did not speak for a while. After a while, he looked up at Li Ying and said, "I have no plans to go abroad." As for my uncle, I'll tell him. ”

She was talking about telling, not persuading. Although Li Peiyuan is blind, he is not a waste. He has his own plans and arrangements. He knew how his life was going to go. Rather than being at the mercy of others because of blindness.

The last time she had a treat, she thought she was planning to connect with an old friend. It wasn't until I came back that I learned from my aunt that she was using this to marry Li Peiyuan.

Li Ying's face showed some fatigue, more or less disappointed, and said, "Ahe, I'm doing this for your good." You're an adult, and I want you to think about it. Your little uncle's current situation is no longer suitable for mixing in the current affairs, and going abroad is a guarantee of his safety. ”

Zhou He didn't speak anymore.

Li Ying asked her to think about it again, didn't bother her anymore, and went back to the house.

Li Peiyuan should have known that Li Ying had talked to Zhou He, and when Zhou He went to the study later, before he could speak, he asked, "Did your mother talk to you?"

Zhou He was stunned for a moment and said, "I've talked about it." ”

Li Peiyuan didn't speak, was silent for a while, and then said: "Ahe, my current situation is not suitable for going abroad. Now, it's not like I can walk if I want to. After a slight pause, he continued: "As your mother said, the situation in the country is really bad now, and I suggest you go out with her." You can take advantage of this time to go to further studies and come back when the situation in the country stabilizes. ”

He's been in the whirlpool of the center, and he's known a lot. His safety is not guaranteed by going abroad.

As he spoke, his tone softened. Obviously, he asked Zhou He to come over to persuade him, but he persuaded her in turn.

Zhou He was also silent for a while, smiled faintly, and said, "Uncle, I have no plans to go abroad. ”

Her tone was calm and quiet, and she clearly had her own ideas. After a slight pause, she then said seriously: "Your eyes are inconvenient now, I will stay here to take care of you." When your eyes are healed, I will go back to Yucheng. ”

Li Peiyuan wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. After being silent for a while, he smiled mildly and said hello.

This time, Li Peiyuan's faction was greatly affected. Many people above resigned because of this, and the Xu family was also affected. Xu Yuanning was forced to transfer after the good was finished.

The power of Kyoto has fallen.

With the continuous change of positions, anyone can see that the sky has changed in Kyoto.

Li Ruifeng was sent to the old house by the driver one night, and talked with Li Peiyuan in the study late at night. I don't know what we talked about, but Li Ying, who had been persuading Li Peiyuan to go abroad the next day, booked a ticket to leave.

Kyoto is the center of the whirlpool, and Li Peiyuan was also arranged to go to Yucheng to recuperate.

They walked in the same hurry, packing up their things and booking tickets for the next day. Xu Yuanning is going to be transferred to a remote place, and I don't know when we will meet again.

Zhou He went to his residence in the afternoon after packing his things, and he was not there. Zhou He called him and waited for him in the café downstairs.

When he returned, it was nearly evening, and he didn't have time to cook, so he packed some bento boxes and brought them back.

But I haven't seen him for a while, although he has lost a lot of weight. But there is more perseverance and responsibility that a mature man should have.

He has been busy all this time, and he has not even visited Zhou He when he is injured.

Seeing Zhou He's apologetic smile, he said, "Have you waited for a long time?"

Zhou He shook his head and said with a slight smile: "I didn't wait long. ”

Xu Yuanning said as he took her to the elevator, and asked again, "How is the injury?" I'm sorry Ahe, I'm too busy to see you during this time. ”

Zhou He's hand can't move yet, it's in his pocket.

Hearing Xu Yuanning say that, she said seriously: "Senior brother, you have to say that." It's not a big injury, it's almost better. ”

Xu Yuanning was still apologetic, but did not continue on this topic. Changing the subject, we moved on to something else.

When he arrived at home, Xu Yuanning poured Zhou He a cup of tea and sat down, and Zhou He said, "Senior Brother Xu, my uncle and I will go back to Yucheng tomorrow." ”

Xu Yuanning was not surprised by the Li family's decision. Nodding his head, he said, "It's okay to go back." I'm afraid it won't be calm for the time being. ”

He was much calmer than before.

Zhou He was silent for a moment and asked, "Uncle Xiao said that you want to be transferred, when will you leave?"

Xu Yuanning's slightly frowning brows loosened, and said, "It should be these few days." He paused and said, "I'm already contacting Lele with the school over there, and my parents will follow." ”

This means that you won't be coming back for a while after you go there.

Zhou He was surprised, but considering the current situation in Kyoto, it was expected that they would follow him. She nodded, hesitated, and asked, "Can uncle and aunt get used to it?"

They have been in Kyoto all their lives. I suddenly went to a foreign country, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get used to it for a while, whether it is living habits or weather.

Xu Yuanning smiled slightly and said, "Slowly get used to it." The weather over there is very nice, not very cold in the winter and not very hot in the summer. It's very livable. ”

Zhou He didn't speak, and after a while, he asked, "Then when will you come back here?"

Xu Yuanning's action of serving the teacup paused, and he didn't directly answer Zhou He's question, and said: "It's good over there, the town is quiet, and the pressure is not so great." ”

Zhou He didn't ask again.

At this time, it was already dinner time, Xu Yuanning looked at the time and asked Zhou He to sit for a while. Go to the kitchen and heat up the takeaways.

At dinner, he still took out some beer, smiled, and said, "Although you have injuries, it should take a while to see you after this separation, so let's have a drink." ”

Zhou Hehe responded and took the beer he handed over.

While eating, Xu Yuanning asked about Li Peiyuan's physical condition. Also ask Zhou He about some trivial things. Although he asked her, he didn't mention his own business.

Zhou He didn't even know what his situation would be after he passed.

She wanted to ask, but in the end she didn't. The two of them drank wine and talked about things that made the atmosphere lighter.

But no matter how careful you are not to mention those topics, at this time, there is no way to be truly relaxed. Zhou He's heart was sad, many times it was Xu Yuanning who said, and she was drinking. Occasionally nodded and said a sentence or two.

She didn't drink much, and after only drinking two cans, Xu Yuanning stopped giving her wine on the grounds that she was injured.

Xu Yuanning didn't drink much, he was originally going to send Zhou He back. But when a visitor came, he sent her downstairs and said, "Ahe, I won't go to the airport tomorrow to see you off." It must be good. ”

This time, I don't know the good luck, and I don't know when we will be able to meet. Zhou He stepped forward and gave him a hug and said, "Senior Brother Xu, you must be good too." ”

He's not the same now as he was before. On his body, he shoulders the heavy burden of the Xu family. Every step is a weight-bearing process. It can't be the same again.

Xu Yuanning smiled and hummed, reached out and patted her head, and said, "Go back, I'll call you when I get there." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and stopped the car for her. Until Zhou closed the car and walked away, he was still standing on the side of the road, and the light of the street lamp stretched his shadow long.

After a long time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and he took it out, and fed it in a deep voice.

Zhou He and Li Peiyuan left the next morning, and he didn't let anyone send them. Both the driver and the aunt stayed in Kyoto.

It was his first trip since he lost his sight, and he didn't seem to be unaccustomed to it, and it looked the same as before. Later in the evening, the stewardess came over and asked what he wanted to drink, but he didn't ask for anything, leaned back in his seat and pretended to sleep.

The house had not been inhabited for some time, and it had accumulated a thin layer of ash. Fortunately, the weather was not cold, Zhou He made tea, arranged for Li Peiyuan to sit in the courtyard, and cleaned up himself.

She is a little slow to do things with one hand, and Li Peiyuan can't help, so let her go out to stay in the hotel tonight, and ask the part-time worker to come over to clean it and come back.

Where is there a comfortable home in the hotel, Zhou He said that she can clean it, and said that she will go to the housekeeping company to find a part-time worker tomorrow. A hurried search may not be able to find a suitable one.

Li Peiyuan didn't insist, although he couldn't help, but he talked to her from time to time, and the courtyard was peaceful.

Most people have a love affair, and when she comes back, she is much more stable than in Kyoto. It was not convenient for her to do things with one hand, and the two of them simply ate noodles in the evening.

At night, Zhou He also slept a lot more steadily, and fell asleep after a short time on the bed.

She got up early the next day and went to the alley early to buy breakfast. I'm going to go to a part-time job after breakfast.

Who knew that before he even went out, the doorbell rang outside. She was a little depressed, who would be so early, but Li Peiyuan had a clear understanding and said, "It should be the aunt she is looking for." I asked someone to help me ask last night. ”

Zhou He went out and opened the door, and it was really an aunt outside. It is estimated that they have already told her about the situation here, she politely called Miss Zhou, and started to do things when she came in.

The person Li Peiyuan is looking for is naturally not an ordinary aunt, she is very careful. cleaned the house and asked Zhou He and Li Peiyuan if they had any taboos. She avoided cooking in the future. And ask them what flavors they prefer.

Neither of them is a picky eater, so Zhou He said it now. And let her not have to be polite.

With her aunt here, she didn't have anything to do, so she was idle. Started running to the library to read some books on pharmacology. And when he was fine, he made some medicinal food for Li Peiyuan.

One day in the car, she heard someone say that she could try acupuncture if there was blood congestion in the brain, so she inquired about it. Then I called Li Peiyuan's doctor in Kyoto and asked if I could try acupuncture.

The doctor over there muttered for a moment that he could try. It won't be worse than it is now, anyway.

After consulting the doctor, she went to ask Li Peiyuan's opinion, saying that it was not until a well-known old Chinese medicine doctor asked him if he would like to go over and have a look.

There is a big gap between his life after losing his sight and before, but Li Peiyuan's temper is the same as before. It's as if nothing has changed in life.

He must have taken the trouble to inquire until Zhou He, and answered.

Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the old Chinese medicine doctor's clinic first. The ground is not big, and it is full of medicinal herbs. In recent years, there are not many people who see Chinese medicine, and the court is cold. She had only one patient in front of her.

When it was her turn, she took out the piece from the hospital she had brought with her. The old Chinese medicine doctor put on his glasses and looked at them for a while, but did not give a positive answer, only said that he would bring them to try.

Even if there is only one point of hope, Zhou He will not give up. The next day, Li Peiyuan was brought to the clinic and the doctor gave him a needle.

The two sides are far away, and it is not convenient to have a car. In order to make travel more convenient, the matter of buying a car that she had been putting on hold was put on the agenda.

She ran several 4S stores, planning to buy a car when her hands were slowly able to move.

She didn't understand the car, and in the end Li Peiyuan picked it for her. The price is not expensive, and it is still within her affordability. Because there were activities that could be discounted, she paid a deposit in advance.

In addition to giving Li Peiyuan acupuncture, the old Chinese medicine doctor also prescribed traditional Chinese medicine and let him exercise appropriately. Stay in a good mood.

There was no obvious progress in the needle, but after taking the prescribed Chinese medicine, Li Peiyuan's insomnia symptoms improved. I don't have to sleep in the middle of the night as often as I used to. The occasional headache gradually improved.

In the early winter, Zhou He remembered that he hadn't seen the process for a long time. Not only did he not see Cheng Xun, but even the people around him never saw him again. Including Lao Cao.

Hehuan Street was demolished, and the people under him seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

When Zhou He went to the bookstore one day, he met Qin Yang again. This time, he didn't come to see the book, but to buy it. It's probably because the weather is cold, and it's not convenient to go out, so I don't come over and buy the book directly.

When he saw Zhou He, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you back?"

His tone was familiar, like that of an old friend for many years.

Zhou He nodded and said politely, "You are also back." ”

She couldn't find anything to say, so she went around to the other side of the bookshelf to get the book. When I finished selecting the book and checked out, I saw Qin Yang outside. It looked like he was waiting for her.

He looked familiar, and when he saw her, he asked, "Are you going back?"

Zhou He didn't know what he meant by asking, nodded his head, and said yes. There seemed to be no one by his side, she hesitated slightly, and asked, "Are you alone?"

Qin Yang snorted and said, "He has something to do, and he won't be able to come over until seven o'clock." After speaking, he looked at Zhou He, and naturally said unnaturally: "I don't have enough money, let's carpool together." ”

Zhou He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "We don't go by the way." ”

Qin Yang said slowly: "Who said it's not going way, your side is quite clean, I bought a house over there and have been moving in for a while." ”

It's an old house over there, and it's not as convenient to live in as a house in the city. He asked Zhou He at that time that he thought he was just talking casually, who knew that he had really bought a house.

She couldn't help but be stunned. Qin Yang had already slid his wheelchair forward, and said, "Let's go, I'm afraid it will rain in this weather later." ”

The weather in Yucheng in winter is humid, either rain or snow.

Zhou He came back to his senses and had to follow.

The two stood on the side of the road and stopped the car for a while, and then waited for a taxi to come. It took some effort for Qin Yang to get into the car, probably out of self-esteem, and he refused to let Zhou He help. The wheelchair couldn't fit into the car by itself, so Zhou He was asked to help.

The house he bought was really in the same alley, and it was only a few hundred meters away from Zhou He's house. At the very back of the alley.

However, the house has been remodeled, and it has been completely changed beyond recognition. It's out of place in the old houses. The house was twice as wide as Zhouhe's, and there were many precious flowers and plants. Exudes luxury from the inside out.

Zhou He didn't plan to send him over, but when he saw his pile of books, he still helped carry them into the house.

His legs are inconvenient and he has problems taking care of himself. But I didn't invite an aunt, it was deserted. After entering the house, he went to make tea for Zhou He.

Zhou He didn't plan to stay longer, and just said no. Qin Yang turned his head sideways and glanced at her, and said with a smile: "What, I'm afraid of poisoning you?"

Zhou He didn't know where he had touched his scales, so he had to shut up and sit down on the sofa.

The room was also completely redesigned, with many small details to make it easier for him to move.

It was rude to look around, and she glanced back at it and sat honestly on the couch.

Qin Yang's tea didn't take long to brew, and seeing him come out in a wheelchair with one hand with tea and the other, Zhou He quickly stood up and went to serve the tea.

He didn't say anything, and quickly went back to the kitchen. After a while, he took out a plate of delicate snacks, put them in front of Zhou He, and said casually: "Try it, I made it myself." ”

Zhou He thought that he didn't touch the spring water with his fingers, but he didn't expect him to bake cookies by himself. She was a little surprised, but she didn't show it, politely said thank you, picked up a biscuit and ate it.

The biscuits are crispy and crispy, and they melt in your mouth and don't feel sweet. She ate one piece, and then took the second and ate it. Said seriously: "It's delicious." ”

Qin Yang suddenly sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?"

He didn't know what was wrong.

Zhou Rong didn't look at him and said, "Mr. Qin is a smart person and won't do such a thing. Murder requires life. ”

Qin Yang snorted coldly and didn't speak.

Zhou He ate four or five biscuits and didn't eat any more, and got up to say goodbye.

Qin Yang asked her to wait for a while, went into the kitchen, and after a while, he packed a box of biscuits in a small box and threw it to her, saying that it was a pity to lose it, and asked her to take it back to eat.

Zhou Ji didn't mind what he said, took it, thanked him, and was about to leave, when Qin Yang suddenly asked, "Are you not going to work yet?"

Zhou He didn't know what he meant by asking, he was stunned for a moment, and then answered.

Qin Yang's hand knocked on the wheelchair a few times, and said, "My books here need to be sorted out, I don't like strangers coming to me, you come and tidy it up for me." ”

After he finished speaking, he paused slightly, and said: "There are still some trivial things that need to be completed, as long as things can be done well, time is free." If you wish, the salary can be calculated as an hourly wage or a monthly salary. ”

He said this as if he knew him well.

Zhou He has not been available recently, and with his eccentric personality, she doesn't want to interact too much. Without thinking about it, he said, "I'm sorry Mr. Qin, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

Qin Yang's face stiffened suddenly, and a pair of eyes looked at her coldly, and said, "What, I'm afraid that I won't be able to pay your salary?"

Zhou He shook his head and said, "Of course not. It's just that I have something to do, and I can't come to your side to help. ”

Qin Yang was gloomy and didn't speak.

Zhou He didn't stay any longer, said goodbye, and left.

Out of the yard, she let out a long sigh of relief. Without looking back, he quickened his pace and left.

Li Peiyuan's eyes did not have any color, but he became chess friends with the old Chinese medicine doctor. Although his eyes couldn't see, Zhou He told him on the side that it didn't affect the game of chess much.

The old Chinese medicine doctor is idle, and almost every day he will have a game of chess with him after acupuncture. Sometimes, I would read some medical advice to him, telling him what to do and what not to do.

There is little pastime after his blindness, and now he can spend a few hours with the old Chinese medicine doctor every day to pass the time.

Zhou He received a call from Xu Yuanning half a month later, he had arrived in the small city where he was transferred and had settled down. Tell Zhou He that the weather over there is better than he imagined, and if she has time, let her go over for a vacation. He showed her around.

He reported good news but not bad news, and after talking about the customs over there, Zhou He asked about his work. He smiled faintly and said that it was very relaxed. I can pick up Lele to and from school every day. It's a small place, and it's not as often socialized as in Kyoto.

It was easy, but it was definitely not what he wanted. Zhou He was faintly a little worried, but Xu Yuanning said very seriously that this is good, at least he can spend more time with the little guy and his parents.

His tone was pretending to be relaxed, and Zhou He still didn't say anything in the end. Just told him that if it was not convenient over there, if there was anything he needed, let him call him, and she would buy it for him and send it over.

Xu Yuanning smiled on the other end of the phone.

When the two hung up the phone after speaking, Zhou He turned around and saw Li Peiyuan behind her with a cane.

He heard the conversation between the two, he didn't hide it, he was silent for a while, and asked, "How is your Senior Brother Xu over there?"

Zhou He said what Xu Yuanning said just now.

Li Peiyuan didn't speak at this time, he just stood in silence and didn't move.
