One hundred and seventy-two. Drug addiction
Xie Huai'an was sent back to Shanghai by Xie Huaichang, and Chen Ji and George originally planned to go to Guizhou to pick him up in person, but they were stopped by Wanlan - if something happened to the Xie family, of course it would have to be dealt with by another Xie family.
So Xie Huaichang was called out of the barracks by his eldest sister with a 100,000 urgent phone call, and went straight to Guizhou from Beijing, he took Wu Peifu's handwritten letter to see Tang Jiyao, and he had to bring Xie Huaian out no matter what.
Tang Jiyao didn't know the relationship between Xie Huai'an and Wu Peifu at all - of course, he didn't need to know that Tang Jiyao looked at Wu Peifu in his eyes because of Cao Kun behind him. Wu Peifu is valued by Cao Kun not for a day or two, the two of them have always been commensurate with brothers, and they have a good family, just one Xie Huai'an, Tang Jiyao is not appropriate or something, but with Cao Kun, you have to weigh it.
He didn't embarrass Xie Huaichang, on the contrary, he also treated him warmly, but Xie Huaichang was wary of him, and he only stayed in the house for one day before he excused himself from being busy with military affairs.
Xie Huai'an lived in Guizhou for two months, lost a lot of weight, and his complexion began to be slightly sallow, but fortunately, his expression was still calm and he could leave the governor's palace in a graceful manner.
Xie Huaichang didn't talk to him, he knew that Xie Huai'an might not be willing to talk to him now, the two of them were relatively silent all the way, Tang Jiyao sent a car to send them to the train station, and even the tickets were the best carriages to buy.
Xie Huai'an lay on the bench, covering his face with his hat, as if he was asleep. Xie Huaichang sat across from him reading a book, not saying a word, as if he was only facing air.
A long sigh came from under the hat: "You don't seem to be curious at all. ”
"I'm not curious, Sister has already made it clear in the letter," Xie Huaichang's eyes were still fixed on the page, "I don't blame you." ”
Xie Huaian said again: "Tang Jiyao's gift to me, you open it and see what it is." ”
Xie Huaichang sneered: "Smoke paste." ”
Xie Huai'an stopped talking.
Xie Huaichang's eyes were still fixed on the page, but in fact, he couldn't read a word, he flipped forward in distraught, and suddenly threw the book on the table: "You don't know yet, Ah Tian and George are back." ”
Xie Huaian took off his hat suddenly: "Really?"
His voice was both surprised and delighted, and his face was full of smiles.
Xie Huaichang looked at his expression, and his cold eyes softened a little: "Yes, I am waiting for you in Shanghai, and I plan to go back to Zhenjiang with you." ”
"Go back to Zhenjiang", these words dimmed the light in Xie Huai'an's eyes, he lay back in the chair and covered his face with his hat: "I'm like this, how can I go back to Zhenjiang." ”
"So I didn't throw away the generous gift that Tang Beigeng gave you," Xie Huaichang said, "You have to go back to Zhenjiang and arrange the yarn factory and pharmacy before you can go to the rest." He paused, and finally asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"I'm not carefree," Xie Huai'an said in a gloomy tone, and he didn't intend to put the blame on others, "Someone gave me a cigarette pipe, and I smoked." ”
Xie Huaichang asked again: "How much have you smoked in the past two months?"
"I can't remember," he replied sullenly, "a lot." ”
Xie Huaichang frowned: "How much?"
Xie Huai'an chuckled lowly, full of sharp irony, and he repeated Xie Huaichang's question in a mocking tone: "How much?"
"Many, many, many, so much so ......" he paused slightly, "I have taken out more than two thousand four hundred yuan of the payment for the three thousand oceans." ”
Xie Huaichang was taken aback, stood up suddenly, pressed his hands on the table to look at him, and was speechless for a long time.
Xie Huai'an still lay down and didn't move, his voice still came from under his hat, with mockery: "I'm done, Ning Yin, I'm done." I am like this, you still tell me to go back to Zhenjiang, how can I go back? I just hate not dying on the road, I don't even want to go back to Shanghai. ”
Xie Huaichang clenched his hands into fists and pressed them against the table, his heart was mixed, and he couldn't tell what emotions were for a while. He had secretly hoped that Xie Huai'an would be ruined one day, but this day really came, but he was not the slightest happy, he only felt frightened.
"Brother......" He walked around the table and squatted down beside Xie Huai'an, wanting to remove the hat he was covering his face, but when his fingers were put on it, he was held down by Xie Huai'an.
He whispered the word "don't", his voice was too low and short, so that Xie Huaichang couldn't tell whether there was a pleading element in his tone.
"Brother, don't be like this, it's nothing, you're just careless and plotted by someone," he turned to shake Xie Huai'an's fingers, racking his brains to think of some comforting words, "This is just a hurdle, you will pass it." ”
Xie Huai'an didn't speak, but his shoulders were shaking slightly, so Xie Huaichang reached out to press his shoulder again, with great force, as if he wanted to lend him his strength: "I'll send you back to Shanghai, Sister will wait for you in Shanghai, she will help you, brother, let's fool your parents, you can quit drugs with peace of mind." ”
The other party was still silent, so Xie Huaichang also stopped talking, he didn't know what to say again, he was not good at comforting people, in fact, everyone in the Xie family in Zhenjiang didn't seem to be good at comforting people, they were used to finding ways to make up for their mistakes first, instead of blaming themselves or blaming each other.
But Xie Huaian had no intention of thinking of any way to make up for it at the moment, his mind was in chaos, and his addiction to cigarettes began to flare up again, Xie Huaichang thought that his shoulders were shaking because he was sad and crying, but he knew in his heart that it was because of his addiction to smoking.
When he was in the Tang Mansion, whether he was addicted to smoking or not, there would always be a packed bottle of cigarette paste at hand, and he smelled that smell every day, and he had no willpower, so he could only let himself sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of cigarette paste.
Now that he came out of the Tang Mansion, it was like getting out of an abyss of sin, clean air poured into his lungs, with a bitter sense of regret and shame, his face was covered with a hat, but that thin layer of cloth could not stop the contemptuous and disdainful gaze in his mind, and even Tang Jiyao's smug smile.
He was even more out of breath, and wanted to tear off his face and throw it on the ground, and step on it himself. The addiction to cigarettes became worse and worse, and even his hands began to tremble slightly, he knew that the box of cigarette paste was in his suitcase, and the suitcase was under the chair, and the cigarette barrel was placed next to the cigarette paste, and it was placed on his gray robe, as long as he stretched out his hand and pulled the suitcase out, he could fill a tube of cigarette paste and smoke it beautifully for a while.
This assumption coexisted with the shame that he wanted to tear his face off, Xie Huai'an lay there quietly, silent, but his heart felt uncomfortable as if he was being torn apart by both parties. Xie Huaichang noticed his abnormality and went to shake his hand again: "Brother!"
Xie Huai'an opened his mouth and took a breath.
Xie Huaichang is not a person who has never seen a big cigarette, even if there was a misunderstanding just now, it is time to react now, he has smoked more than 2,000 oceans in two months, and the amount used is huge, I am afraid that the Eight Banners of the former Qing Dynasty will be frightened.
He didn't know what to do, so he could only shake Xie Huai'an's hand harder, remembering that people would cry when they were addicted, and he took out one hand to take off his hat, wanting to help him clean up.
Xie Huai'an made a move like lightning, and pressed his hand: "Don't." ”
The tone of this drag was long, and he could hear the pleading in it.
Xie Huaian said again: "Don't ......"
The force he used on Xie Huaichang's hand became bigger and bigger, his fingertips contracted inward, pinching his flesh and skin, Xie Huaichang was in pain and didn't dare to struggle, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it, but fortunately, Xie Huai'an was still sane, he let go of his hand in time, and turned to buckle the wooden bottom of the bench.
Xie Huaichang circled in the carriage - in order to subsidize the army's expenses, many feudal warlords secretly encouraged and even forced farmers to plant opium poppies to sell, Tang Jiyao was able to hit Xie Huai'an with the idea is really not surprising at all, maybe he had already made this idea when he made the decision to buy the batch of medicinal materials that Xie Huai'an had hoarded, after all, Xie Huai'an was no different from a fat sheep to be slaughtered in his eyes.
He thought of medicinal herbs, and then immediately thought of Mo Phe San, he also had a Mo Phe San in his bag, which was used by the sergeants on the battlefield for first aid, and he had heard that it was also a smoking cessation medicine.
Xie Huaichang hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, poured all the contents of his leather bag on the ground, found the syringe and the Mophesan from inside, sucked the liquid into the syringe with shaking hands, and pinched Xie Huai'an's hand: "Brother, I still have a Mophesan pill, which is also a smoking cessation medicine, I will call you, don't move." ”
Xie Huai'an held him with one hand, and raised the other hand and buckled the back of the chair. Xie Huaichang pressed his hand against the chair, suppressed the trembling, and slowly pushed the needle into his veins.
It is indeed a miracle medicine, the effect is immediate, Xie Huai'an's smoking addiction was suppressed, and his emotions calmed down, he took a long breath and exhaled in his hat, and his body no longer trembled.
Xie Huaichang stood up, put away the syringe and medicine bottle, stuffed his handkerchief into his hand, Xie Huaian gently lifted the hat and wiped his face with the handkerchief.
Xie Huaichang returned to sit opposite: "The medicine I gave you just now, Mo Phesan, remember, it's a smoking cessation medicine." ”
Xie Huai'an was still lying down, and replied in a deep voice: "I remember, there is still this medicine in the pharmacy." ”

In 1874, the advertising column of the "Declaration" can be seen with the following text: "From London, the new smoking cessation medicine Mophine is in many boxes, and its medicine is pure and powerful, so the effect of addiction is relatively fast." "Zhang Xueliang once used Mophine to detoxify, and then the addiction became more serious......
