Zhang Jiatian returned to the regiment headquarters twenty miles away, and slept all night with random confrontation. He said he was sleeping, but in fact he was dreaming upside down all night, dreaming of old things from years ago, and there was a scene in the dream when he was standing in the dark and a car came in front of him, with brilliant headlights and thunder sitting inside. The adjutants ran back and forth in a chaotic manner, ready to greet the Governor, but he stood alone, an invisible prophet. The car door opened, Lei Yiming bent down and got out of the car, wearing a gray tweed cloak, no one could see him, only Lei Yiming realized his existence, while walking forward, talking to people, staring at him, his eyes were big blazing eyes, and his face was still young, as if he knew him, but also seemed to be just curious.

Zhang Jiatian looked at the young Lei Yiming, because he knew that there would be so many twists and turns waiting for him and him, so he had mixed feelings, couldn't move a step, couldn't say a word, just looked at him with tears of grief and sadness.

He was his first and last idol.

After one night, Zhang Jiatian took two cars and took the main road into Quanxian County. Lei Yiming also got up early, when Zhang Jiatian arrived, he was eating breakfast, saying that he was eating, but in fact he had no appetite, and he drank a bowl of porridge for a long time, but he only drank half of it.

As soon as the door opened, Zhang Jiatian came in with a cold air, the two glanced at each other, and Zhang Jiatian said, "Let's go." ”

Lei Yiming grabbed a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then got up and asked the orderly to serve him and put on his hat and clothes. Zhang Jiatian was stunned when he saw it, because Lei Yiming changed into a long tile-gray cloak today, which was exactly the image in his dream.

Quietly lowering his eyes, Zhang Jiatian thought that this was perhaps

It's an omen, and this time, I may have to take care of him to the end.

Lei Yiming had already instructed Chen Yunji last night, and knew that the Quanxian team didn't need him at this time, so he followed Zhang Jiatian out of the car without hesitation. The car left Quanxian, although it was already a special road, but it was still bumpy. Zhang Jiatian wanted to maintain a solemn attitude, but the car turned him into a large fried bean, making him jump involuntarily.

After passing through that rugged road with ease, Zhang Jiatian was finally able to sit upright, and with the corner of his eye, he cleared his throat and opened his mouth: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Lei Yiming nodded: "It's okay." ”

Zhang Jiatian turned his face away and decided to take a closer look at him. At a glance, he found that Lei Yiming's complexion was not bad, and his cheeks were pale and pink.

"You take your hat off. He said again.

Lei Yiming took off the hat on his head, and Zhang Jiatian reached out and touched his forehead, feeling that he seemed to be having a fever. And Lei Yiming leaned crookedly against the side of the car door and whispered: "I don't know if it's right or wrong to go with you this time." ”

Zhang Jiatian withdrew his hand: "Afraid that I will harm you?"

He shook his head and put his hat back on his head: "I'm afraid to go to the hospital." ”

"Is it because you are afraid that the disease will heal itself?"

Lei Yiming half-closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.

Zhang Jiatian was silent for a moment, and then asked, "How is your leg?"

"It hurts. ”

"Bones haven't grown yet?"

"It's good to grow up. ”

Zhang Jiatian bent down and grabbed his left calf, and through several layers of trousers, he touched his bones, calves

The bone is straight and not unusually curved.

Letting go of his hand and straightening his waist, he leaned back: "This is already cheap for you." ”

Lei Yiming retracted his leg: "My leg is probably afraid of you, you grabbed it, it hurt even more." ”

Zhang Jiatian saw his face from his legs: "Are you hitting me with words?"

Lei Yiming closed his eyes completely and muttered, "I'm not that interested." I do it to you—"

He coughed, but the words he didn't say came out. Zhang Jiatian is afraid that he will cough now, and he doesn't know how to stop coughing, so he can only pat him on the back and rub his chest, these two tricks are like a joke, and they have no effect. And after Lei Yiming was so hurriedly danced by him, he felt more and more in his heart. After seeing people's hearts for a long time, he saw Zhang Jiatian's hearts clearly at this moment. This kid is unreasonable to him and talks about feelings. So for him, Zhang Jiatian's ferocity and cruelty are real, and tenderness and compassion are also true.

When the car drove to the back half, Zhang Jiatian took off his coat and wrapped him.

He was still cold, and it wasn't until he got on the heated train in the afternoon that he got a breath of cold and felt a little comfortable. There were Zhang Jiatian's soldiers standing in the carriage, and the soldiers walked with their legs raised and walked lightly, eager to tiptoe and sneak away, because Zhang Jiatian did not allow them to run around, for fear of disturbing Lei Yiming's sleep.

Lei Yiming was lying on a small bed, but he couldn't sleep, he just closed his eyes to recuperate, thinking that he was raising a filial son, and that was nothing more.

Lei Yiming slept in the train all night, and in the early hours of the morning, he coughed again. Zhang Jiatian rushed to hear the sound and took him again

Those two tricks were performed, and the shot was staggering. Later, Lei Yiming coughed too hard, and Zhang Jiatian didn't wait for him to react, and immediately brought a cup of tea to his mouth and asked him to rinse his mouth. He dizzily rinsed and lay down, wheezing, while Zhang Jiatian walked outside to the bright place and looked down at the handkerchief in his hand. He covered Lei Yiming's mouth with this handkerchief, and now there was a little red blood stain on it.

Asked the soldier to take the handkerchief and burn it, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood with his back against the wall for a moment. Very rarely, he also felt cold.

On a freezing afternoon, the train entered Beiping.

After Zhang Jiatian got off the train, he took Lei Yiming directly to the hospital. The results of the Western doctor's examination will not come out until the next day, so Zhang Jiatian said to Lei Yiming: "Don't go back to your house, go to my house!"

Lei Yiming's spirit is very sluggish, like a death row prisoner who is about to be executed, whether he wants to die or not depends on the outcome of tomorrow. How did he know that after arriving at Zhang's house, he found that there were already four executioners waiting for him in advance.

The executioners are all famous doctors in the city, whether they live up to their name, no one dares to say, but at least the consultation fee is really high. The executioners stepped forward in shifts to look at him, and they didn't tell him any conclusions, but only went to report to Zhang Jiatian. When the famous doctors left, Lei Yiming walked up to Zhang Jiatian and asked, "How is it?"

Zhang Jiatian didn't lie and told him: "Two said it was tuberculosis, and two said it wasn't." ”

As soon as Lei Yiming heard this, he sat down on the chair. And Zhang Jiatian said: "You wait, I'll find a few more doctors, and I'll find it myself." ”

And then no

Waiting for Lei Yiming to answer, he put on his clothes and left, and only came back after dark, taking the three doctors with him. The three doctors all changed their faces, because they didn't want to go to the clinic in this cold weather, they were escorted by Zhang Jiatian's subordinates.

The three doctors went out in turn and checked Lei Yiming again. In the end, the three of them came to a unified conclusion and announced in public: It was the wind and cold that closed the lungs, not tuberculosis.

Zhang Jiatian changed his good face, sent the three doctors home separately in a car, and sat in front of Lei Yiming: "Look, are you okay?"

Lei Yiming lay on the bed and asked, "You didn't lie to me, are you worried that I will be afraid-"

"Thinking too much, you're not so distressed. The medicine has been boiled, and I will give you a drink in a while. ”

"Show me the prescription. ”

"There's no way, it's just arsenic mixed with water, do you like to drink it or not. ”

Lei Yiming didn't have the strength to say more, and after a while, a servant brought in a big bowl of steaming black medicine soup, and Zhang Jiatian frowned because of the bitter and astringent smell. Getting up and taking the bowl, he looked down at it and wondered how this thing could get into his mouth.

However, Lei Yiming on the bed sat up and had already stretched out his hand to him.

He sent the bowl to Lei Yiming's hands, and at the same time he also held it weakly with his hands below, afraid that he would lack strength and fall the bowl, the bowl was not valuable, but the medicine was important. And Lei Yiming looked at the dark medicinal soup, and frowned, but then brought the bowl to his mouth, raised his head and drank it. Zhang Jiatian saw his way of drinking death as home, and knew in his heart that he was really afraid of death and really wanted to live.

After drinking the medicine, I rinsed it again

After speaking, Lei Yiming seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, but he seemed a little more energetic. Sitting down against two large pillows, he said, "You show me the recipe." ”

"Fang Zi sent it to the kitchen, I'm too lazy to get it for you. You can rest assured that you will not be given the wrong medicine. ”

"You really didn't lie to me, did you?"

Zhang Jiatian shook his head without thinking.

Lei Yiming tilted his head and examined him carefully. At the end, he didn't find a flaw in his expression, so he smiled: "How can I repay you." ”

Zhang Jiatian also smiled: "If you don't take revenge, even if you are worthy of me." ”

Then he got up and wanted to help Lei Yiming lie down, but Lei Yiming pushed his hand away: "Don't lie down, lie all the way on the train, lie down enough." ”

Zhang Jiatian listened to his words, withdrew his hand and sat back. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Is it cold?"

"It's not cold. ”

Zhang Jiatian stood up: "I'll eat." I haven't eaten lunch yet, and I'm starving. ”

Lei Yiming nodded.

Zhang Jiatian stopped looking at him, turned around and walked out the door. Outside the door was a dark and cold world, but because there was no thunder, it made him feel at ease. Lighting himself a cigarette, he stood on a thin layer of snow, took a deep breath, and looked up again to see if there were any stars in the sky.

He didn't know if he had deceived Lei Yiming. The three doctors who were found later accepted his orders in advance, and in front of Lei Yiming, they all insisted that it was not tuberculosis. But whether it is or not, they have their own conclusions, and there is no consensus. According to the prescription for curing tuberculosis, he boiled that bowl of bitter medicine for Lei Yiming. Will the medicine work?

He didn't know either.

He only knew that if it was really tuberculosis, it would be a dead end and there would be no rule of law.

The next day, Lei Yiming waited to go to the hospital to get the test results, but after waiting for a long time, Zhang Jiatian never came. So at noon, Zhang Jiatian finally entered the door, and after entering the door, he handed him a few sheets: "It's okay, the Western doctor said it was pneumonia." ”

Lei Yiming snatched the list: "You went by yourself, why didn't you tell me?"

"I went out in the morning, so I went to the hospital on the way. He took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair, and said, "Don't go back to Chengde, go home and close the door to recuperate!"

Lei Yiming was looking at the list over and over again, and he didn't understand it, but he already had a little smile on his face. After listening to Zhang Jiatian's words, the smile on his face froze for a moment, and then he replied: "Why did I leave, don't you know yet?"

"You're sick like this, can I beat you again?"

Lei Yiming asked, "How am I sick?"

Zhang Jiatian's heart froze, and he asked with a straight face: "Is pneumonia still a minor illness?" Don't go, don't be afraid of Lin Zifeng, there is me!"

"What am I afraid of him for?

"Have you eaten?"

"Eat. ”

Lin Zifeng will go back to Beiping tomorrow, and I will call him over for a meal tomorrow night, and we will talk about it. If you have something to be sorry for, make amends to him. If he holds on to you, of course I can't let you go. ”

"No, no, he's insane!"

"This is my house, I have the final say!"

Lei Yiming looked up at Zhang Jiatian for a moment, then turned around to put on a cloak and take a hat: "Then me."

Walk. ”

Zhang Jiatian exerted one-tenth of his strength, picked up the cloak on Lei Yiming's body and threw it out the door, then turned back and shouted at the orderly soldiers in the courtyard: "Pick it up, don't send it back!"

Then he pushed Lei Yiming into the inner room, and drove Lei Yiming to the bed with a bang. Lei Yiming said: "Don't throw my clothes around, the collar on it is for you-"

"I don't lack that leather collar to wear, you don't have to worry about snacks!"

"My collar is good, it's-"

Zhang Jiatian pulled up the quilt and covered him with his head and face: "Is it okay to stop talking?
