Chapter 27: Where the Wandering Spirit Returns

Morning.

The sunlight filtered in through the gaps in the curtains, and the late autumn morning light had no heat, and when it shone on the low eyelashes, it did not feel dazzling, but had a soft and warm comfort.

Ke Mulan had already woken up, but he couldn't get up from the bed, Bo was kicked aside by him, his hands were pillowing his head, the corners of his lips were gently curled upwards in a beautiful arc, and he silently read the countdown in his heart as usual, two long legs overlapped to form Erlang's legs, and one foot was beating the number in his heart one by one.

“…… Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. ”

The knock on the door sounded on time, the sound was not heavy but very dense, and it was full of anticipation and joy.

Ke Mulan's eyes suddenly opened, jumped up from the bed/on, stuffed his feet into his slippers, and walked out.

As soon as Ke Mulan came out of the room, he faced him without any suspense, and Song Zhaopei, who was eating breakfast, shrugged his shoulders helplessly. Looking at each other, Ke Mulan didn't say a word, just raised his eyebrows, walked straight to the door and opened the door.

Outside the door, a six- or seven-year-old foreign chick, with a chubby little face as delicate and smooth as white porcelain, and a pair of big watery eyes, were looking up high, staring at Ke Mulan's face with a smile.

Ke Mulan squatted down and looked at the chick at eye level.

The little beauty took a step forward, hugged Ke Mulan's neck, and without hesitation, she printed a wet kiss on his cheek, and then said in a childlike and stiff Chinese: "Ke, I'm going to school, see you at night, goodbye." ”

Ke Mulan smiled and said, "Okay, see you in the evening." Cathy, remember to be good at school. ”

Cathy nodded, turned around and took her mother's hand as she stood behind her.

Ke Mulan stood up and greeted Cathy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Allen.

Mr. Allen said, "Ke, good morning." Ke, good morning.

Ke Mulan replied, "Goodmorning,." Good morning, Mr. Allen. Then he said to Mrs. Allen, "Goodmorning,." Good morning, Mrs. Allen.

Mrs. Allen smiled and replied, "Goodmorning, Ke." After saying hello, Mrs. Allen looked down at her daughter, and then said apologetically to Ke Mulan, "Imsorry, Ke, itsatroubletoyouagain." I'm sorry Ke, I'm sorry for the trouble again.

Ke Mulan lowered her head and rubbed Cathy's soft little head, and said with a smile, "Ymuch." No trouble, I like her a lot.

Ke Mulan saw that the family of three was gone, and then turned back.

Mr. and Mrs. Allen live across the street from Ke Mulan and are also his landlords. Cathy, their daughter, lived in town with her grandmother until a year ago when she returned to Mr. and Mrs. Ellen.

Ke Mulan was the first Chinese that little Cathy knew, and since then she has developed a strong interest in Chinese, pestering him to learn whenever she has time. He is a little boring, except for going to work, he comes back to read, and his life is not ordinary boring.

Since he had little Cathy as an "activist", he didn't feel annoyed, on the contrary, he felt that the air around him was driven by her to liven up, so he let her run around.

The habit of greeting people in the morning was formed two months ago, and Song Zhaopeiduo's words were only blamed.

Cathy is very active in learning Chinese, writing several Chinese characters a day, Song Zhaopei saw that she was so serious, so he made suggestions on the side and said: "Little Cathy, learning Chinese is the same as learning English, not only can you write but also be able to speak, your little hand must work hard, and your small mouth must also be diligent." ”

Little Cathy frowned and asked, "Howhardisit?" How diligent?

Song Zhaopei groaned a little, pointed at Ke Mulan and said with a smile: "InChinese, askhimtogetupontimeeveryday." In Chinese, wake him up on time every day.

Song Zhaopei was also joking, but who expected that the foreign chick would take it seriously, and since then she has become Ke Mulan's little alarm clock that does not need to be timed.

Ke Mulan turned back and closed the door, and listened to Song Zhaopei, who was changing shoes at the door, asked with a smile: "How is it? After getting up on time for two months, do you feel a sense of vitality and refreshment?"

Ke Mulan glanced at his friend and said, "You are a good person, but you threw me a big trouble, I don't know how to reflect on it, even if you still stand aside and say cool things." If you get cheap and sell well, you're talking about people like you. Why don't I give you this opportunity to be 'rejuvenated and refreshed', so that you can feel it for yourself?"

Song Zhaopei hurriedly shook his head: "No." I wake up earlier than the 'little alarm clock' every day, so you might as well save this opportunity to yourself. Besides, you want the 'little alarm clock' to agree to it?"

These words made Ke Mulan curious and asked, "Why?"

Song Zhaopei raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "Because I'm not handsome enough, the little girl is also aesthetically pleasing and likes to pester handsome guys." ”

was ridiculed by this guy again, Ke Mulan said a foul word angrily: "Roll the edge, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth." ”

"Breakfast was left on the table for you, and I went to work first. After speaking, Song Zhaopei pushed the door and walked out.

Ke Mulan looked at the Western-style breakfast on the table and whistled into the bathroom to wash.

Song Zhaopei and he entered the University of Aberdeen in the same year to study Western medicine, the two have similar tempers, and they are both from Zhejiang, so the relationship is naturally closer than others.

After receiving their degrees, they both stayed in the UK, and although they rented together, they did not work in the same hospital.

After breakfast, changing clothes, and bringing a watch, Ke Mulan glanced at the time on the watch, seven o'clock. It's still early to go to work, but forget it, they're all ready to go anyway, and it's boring to stay at home, so it's better to swing around.

The hospital where Ke Mulan works is only a ten-minute walk from where he lives, so he walks there every day.

Walking on the street of this "autumn mood", the wind blows on the face, and I only feel cold, but no longer cool.

It was still early, Ke Mulan was not in a hurry, his eyes were not focused, and he browsed the scenery on the street without a match.

When he rubbed his jumping left eye for the eleventh time, he couldn't help but think of what his grandmother often said: The left eye jumps with wealth and the right eye jumps with disaster.

Oh, is it possible that you will pick up a big wallet today?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, when did he become so obsessed with money? Ke Mulan, Ke Mulan, don't be greedy for windfalls.

Facts have proved that Ke Mulan did not have the life to pick up money, but God made up for his biggest accident - he "picked up" Kang Yurong.

Not far from the hospital, a group of people gathered around, pointing and talking. Ke Mulan didn't like to watch and join in the excitement since he was a child, so he continued to walk forward without squinting.

It was only as he passed by the crowd that he heard:

An unnamed woman said, "IssheChinese?" Is she Chinese?

Another anonymous woman said, "Itlookslikeitshouldbe." Looks like it should be.

Chinese?

Ke Mulan's footsteps involuntarily paused, and his eyebrows furrowed.

Then he heard someone say, "Isshedead?" Is she dead?

At this point, the discussion came to an abrupt end.

As the essential reaction of the doctor, Ke Mulan quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, but the scene in front of him couldn't help but shock him.

On the ground lay a woman in Chinese costume, her long messy black hair covering her entire face, making it difficult to see her face, her soaked clothes were tattered, but they were clinging to the woman's body, and there were large areas of bare skin on her arms, legs, and waist, and there were dense deep or shallow scars in each place, which were glaring white at this time because they had been soaked in water for too long.

She lay motionless, and with her abominable appearance, anyone would see her as a dead body.

Ke Mulan squatted beside her, and with his slender and well-proportioned hands, he carefully brushed away the long hair stuck to her face, revealing a horrific face.

Traces of bruising and purple were almost all over the face, the eyes were closed, the undersides of the eyes were blue and black, and the dark purple lips still looked particularly abrupt on this embarrassed face.

Although this face could hardly see its true color at this time, Ke Mulan still couldn't help but be stunned, this face was a little familiar, where had he seen it? He didn't think much about it when he had doubts, the first thing was to determine whether this woman was dead or alive.

He put his hand between her snorts, and it took a few moments to feel her faint breathing, so faint that it was hard to detect.

Thankfully, she's still alive.

Ke Mulan took off her shirt and wrapped her, picked her up from the ground, and rushed to the hospital.

Kang Yurong's condition is not optimistic, and she has a high fever of 39 degrees 8, which has caused her to be in a state of high coma. The worst thing is that there is a trauma to the epidural hematoma on the side of her head, there is a piece of glass at the wound, although the glass is not large and not too deep, but the wound has become swollen and ulcerated due to the long period of water immersion, and the consequences will be very worrying if the glass is not removed immediately by surgery.

The colleague who came out of the emergency room told Ke Mulan about the situation.

Ke Mulan listened and said to his colleague without hesitation: "Immediatesurgery." Immediate surgery.

Colleague reminded: "Needrelativestosign." A relative's signature is required.

Ke Mulan suddenly realized, he was in a hurry just now, and forgot about this stubble.

The colleague asked, "Whataboutherfamily?" What about her family?

Ke Mulan shook his head: "Idon'tknow." I do not know.

The colleague was anxious: "Whataboutthat? It’sadangeroussituation.” What to do? The situation is dangerous.

Ke Mulan was also very anxious, but he didn't know what to do for a while.

The colleague said, "Youlookforit." You go and find it.

Ke Mulan's eyebrows gathered into a small mountain: "Ihavenowheretofind." I was nowhere to be found.

“What? Areyounotfriends?” Aren't you friends?

Ke Mulan was distressed: "No, Idon'tknowher." No, I don't know her.

A colleague patted his head and shouted, "Oh, that'dIdo?" Oh that's bad, what should I do?

The two were silent for a few minutes, and the colleague spoke again: "Ke, youhavetothinkaboutit. Youcan’twaitanymore.” Ke, you have to figure it out, you can't wait any longer.

Ke Mulan gritted his teeth: "I'llsignit." I'll sign.

A colleague exclaimed, "What? Ke,it’snotfun.” What? Ke, this is no joke.

“Thatstrue.” I know.
