Chapter 139: Revealing the Words
The atmosphere seemed to have become much warmer, and Jiang Jingwen's expression gradually relaxed. Of course, she is not the only one, Shen Mengting and Qian Hao are also full of joy.
Zhao Yu touched his lower lip with his hand, and after a slight friction, his neck was also slightly crooked. He still didn't understand what his companions were talking about. However, since everyone showed a little happiness, Zhao Yu also felt that the matter should have passed.
"So...... Now that everything is done, the crisis has been settled. So why are we staying here, aren't we leaving?" Shen Mengting twisted her neck and looked at her companions one by one.
"yes! I should have left a long time ago, and my nose was almost filled with dust on this plain?" Qian Hao shook his head, and he craned his neck to look at the cliff next to him.
"How can it be so exaggerated? You just stay here for a while, and your nose will be stuffed with dust?" Shen Mengting glared at Qian Hao, who was talking frequently.
Qian Hao looked aggrieved again, "That's the real thing! Don't believe it!" He was about to raise his head and show his nostrils to others.
Shen Mengting quickly stopped him, "Oh, don't be so disgusting!" pushed Qian Hao's head away, and Shen Mengting's shoulders sank down, "Okay! Let's go!"
Her words naturally had everyone's support. So, a group of four people prepared to leave for home.
"By the way, the horse is still not far away! we need to join the horse!"
"Yes. Just now, in order to deal with the demons, we deliberately dismounted. I believe that the horses should be not far away!" Shen Mengting replied calmly.
Sure enough, after walking for about twenty minutes, they met their horses on the edge of a slightly lower cliff.
The three horses seemed to be quite leisurely, and were standing in this daze, as if waiting for their master's return.
After 'Nasa' saw Shen Mengting's figure, she immediately trotted over. The white horse spun around his master excitedly, and finally put his head on his side.
Shen Mengting touched Nasa's head knowingly, "Nasa! Thank you for your hard work! You must be in a hurry!"
Qian Hao next to him couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene. His gaze was a little nihilistic at the moment: how gentle you were with a horse! Why had I never seen you do this to people?
Now that they have found the horses, the four of them have officially returned to Arakawa Town. The journey back was quite smooth, and it didn't take long for them to arrive in the town.
Walking on the streets of the town, Shen Mengting watched Jiang Jingwen walking next to her from time to time.
This girl seems to have something on her mind, and it's no wonder, she must have something to say to her father-Shen Mengting sighed slightly, and after licking her lips, she finally decided to speak.
"Jingwen, are you going to think about what your father will say?"
Jiang Jingwen didn't react at first. After a few seconds of stunnedness, she quickly came back to her senses. The reins of the horse in her hand were slightly pulled, and Jiang Jingwen swung her head towards Shen Mengting, "Well, don't worry! Sister Mengting, I will talk to my father well." I don't want to run away anymore, I must confess my thoughts to my father for many years!"
Jiang Jingwen's affirmative tone made Shen Mengting feel a lot more relieved.
"That's it! People must have their own ideas, why do you want to be so nervous? Besides, this is also a matter of other people's fathers and daughters, and you don't need to talk so much!" Qian Hao said with a smile as he maneuvered the horses beside him.
Shen Mengting immediately swung her head towards Qian Hao again, and there was a strong hostility in her eyes, "I want you to talk more!"
"Wow! I'm not talking too much! I'm just talking about what I feel. You care too much about other people. Miss Jingwen is also a twenty-year-old adult, so you don't need to nag next to you like your mother!" Qian Hao's mouth was made into a small circle, as if he was about to whistle.
Hearing the word 'mom', Zhao Yu's heart felt like he had been pierced with a thin needle. He tilted his head slightly, and captured Shen Mengting sitting in the back with his peripheral vision.
For some reason, Zhao Yu seemed to be used to sitting like this: he sat idly in front of the horse, while Shen Mengting sat behind and manipulated the horse's reins.
"How can I nag! I'm just talking casually!" Shen Mengting replied forcefully.
"Good, good, good. Qian Hao stretched out an arm, and the gesture was making a constant downward pressure movement, "Do you think it's just 'casually talking' and 'casually talking'!"
"Qian Hao! you ......"
Shen Mengting began to fight with Qian Hao again, if she didn't know anyone, she would think that they were an awkward couple.
After another half an hour, they came to the 'Renji Medical Center'. The long-lost sense of relaxation and comfort has been revived in everyone's hearts.
"Oops! It's finally here!" Qian Hao stretched his waist on horseback, "It feels really good to be home!"
"Hey!Qian Hao!This is your house!Do you need to be so presumptuous?" Shen Mengting replied coldly.
"Oh yes, don't pick out the words like that! Isn't the 'Renji Medical Center' the home of all of us? We can all find that feeling of shelter from the wind and rain in it!" Qian Hao slid his body smoothly, "And most importantly, there is an amazing doctor in the medical center! As long as this doctor is there, we street children will not feel displaced." ”
As he spoke, Qian Hao gave a thumbs up, and his body writhed like a snake.
"What a cheap-mouthed man!" Shen Mengting said in a heavy voice.
Jiang Jingwen covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed embarrassedly.
This girl seems to really like her father, and even Zhao Yu, who has always been indifferent to the world, has this feeling.
After that, Shen Mengting had a few more conversations with Qian Hao before getting off the horse and walking towards the 'Renji Medical Center'.
Since it was almost evening, there were not too many patients in the hospital. Dr. Jiang Yuanhe saw that her daughter and her friends had returned, and hurried to the door.
"Ahh
However, the moment he saw everyone, Jiang Yuanhe seemed to be a little shocked. After many years of medical diagnosis and treatment, he quickly noticed the strangeness of everyone.
"Hmm, what's wrong with you, is there something going on?"
Shen Mengting took a sharp step forward, and she came to the front of the crowd, "Yes, uncle! But that's a long story, so I'll tell you about it in the evening!"
Jiang Yuanhe was right to think about it, he nodded slightly, and was about to beckon everyone to go in first. But soon, he seemed to remember something, "That's right, that Lingzhi ......," and he looked at everyone inquiringly.
Jiang Jingwen suddenly 'ah', she came to her father, "Father, we got the Ganoderma lucidum!" As she spoke, she took out the precious Lingzhi from her clothes pocket.
Handing the lingzhi to her father with both hands, Jiang Jingwen's hanging heart was completely down.
Jiang Yuanhe glanced at Lingzhi, and also bore it with both hands. After casually glancing at his daughter a few times, as if he was releasing some breath in his body, he let out a deep sigh, "Well, Jingwen, it's really hard for you." ”
"No, that's what I'm supposed to do. I just wish I could share something with my father!"
"Really?" Jiang Yuanhe's face didn't show much joy. On the contrary, he always kept a straight face.
Zhao Yu looked at that face for a long time, and was made a little chilled by the almost overly serious look.
"Okay, let's go in first! Lingzhi matter, I not only thank my daughter, but also thank the three of you for your help!" Jiang Yuanhe glanced at Shen Mengting in turn, as well as Qian Hao and Zhao Yu behind her.
"Don't be so polite, uncle! You took us in, we should be thinking about feeding you to do something!" Shen Mengting bowed slightly.
"Okay, then you all go in first! When a few of my patients are watched, I'll greet you again!" As he spoke, Jiang Yuanhe dodged his body and made a 'please' gesture towards the wooden door behind him.
The four of them walked over. After passing through the gate, they came to Dr. Jiang Yuanhe's residence.
"Father always puts the patient first!"
Just about to walk to the gate of the house, Jiang Jingwen said coldly. Her tone was quite weak, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, as if she also showed a helpless smile.
Shen Mengting took a sharp breath, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Jingwen with concern, "Ahhh
"Don't worry, Sister Mengting! I will definitely talk to my father in the next few days. Definitely!" Jiang Jingwen said and opened the door.
It was getting late, and the whole sky was gray. Today's dusk seems to pass very quickly, and it is almost a blink of an eye, and the sky is completely dark. Zhao Yu touched his ears and hooked the staff to his chest again.
Jiang Jingwen meant to make something for everyone to eat, but for everyone, the current rest is the most urgent. So, both Shen Mengting and Qian Hao politely refused this request.
So, they all went straight into their respective rooms. Zhao Yu is naturally no exception. He chose to enter the room reserved for him, and quickly closed the door. He was really tired today, and he didn't want to eat anything more, so he fell asleep on the bed.
That girl......
Zhao Yu lay on his back on the bed, his hands still pillowed on the back of his head. He thought back to the girl named Jiang Jingwen, and wondered if she had any conversations with her father about.
For some reason, when he thinks of Dr. Jiang Yuanhe's father and daughter, Zhao Yu thinks of him and his mother.
Zhao Yu's eyes were almost a little moist, and he regretted that he hadn't communicated with his mother well before, until it was too late. He would never have the chance to speak to his mother again.
Zhao Yu slowly closed his eyes, recalling the bits and pieces of himself and his mother in Vortex Town.
------------------------------------------------------------
In the middle of the night, the door of the 'Yan Chai Medical Center' was closed.
Jiang Jingwen slowly groped her way from her house to the outside of the hall of the medical hall. She felt the silence and closed her eyes slowly and surprisingly.
There seemed to be a slight chirping of birds and insects in the yard, and there was a slight sound of the breeze.
This feeling......
Jiang Jingwen opened her eyes. She looked around her, and finally decided to push open the wooden door of the hall. If nothing else, her father will be inside, and she can go in and have a chat with him.
Thinking back to a few hours ago, after they returned to the hospital, perhaps because they were too tired, Shen Mengting and her friends chose to enter the room to rest. They didn't even have a bite to eat, and their father personally went to greet them.
Perhaps to sell their father's face, all three of them came to the living room.
The father first thanked them, meaning that if it weren't for the help of the three of them, Jiang Jingwen alone would not be able to get the Lingzhi back.
Shen Mengting said that this is not the case, "Ah! You can't say that! We all rely on Jingwen." It was Jingwen who found the specific location of Lingzhi, and it was she who risked climbing the cliff to get it. ”
After that, Shen Mengting also said some words that were contrary to the facts. For example, 'Jingwen almost fell off the cliff after climbing the cliff, but it was dangerous', 'Jingwen searched for many cliffs in a row before finally finding a precious Ganoderma lucidum'.
Even though Jiang Jingwen knew that Shen Mengting was talking nonsense, she also understood that it was all helping herself.
"Do you want my father to think that I have suffered a lot, so he will care more about me!" Jiang Jingwen's heart burst out of this sentence. Of course, the word 'you' in her mind refers to Shen Mengting.
The father could understand what Shen Mengting meant, and he expressed his gratitude to his daughter Jiang Jingwen again.
Then my father asked them what had happened on the road. My father had always been sensitive to what was going on with others, perhaps because of the doctor's profession. Usually a patient's look and temperament can be added to his line of sight.
And when Shen Mengting focused on telling her father about the demon, her father's eyes widened suddenly.
"What? You say you met a demon in the wild?"
"Yes, yes, a demon who manipulates vampire bats. It absorbs the nutrients of the Ganoderma lucidum that grows on the hanging rock wall, in a vain attempt to increase its strength!"
Jiang Yuanhe began to nod his head slightly, "It turns out that it's all true! I heard rumors from the townspeople that there was a big demon doing evil outside the town. I can't believe it's all true!"
"But it doesn't matter if it's really now!" Qian Haoru raised his arms in cheer, "because it has been completely solved by us!"
"Oh, is it?" Jiang Yuanhe couldn't help but look at the young people in front of him, "Then I really have to thank you!
"It doesn't matter! We've always wanted to thank our uncle! It's normal to help my uncle get rid of a demon in a town where he lives!" Shen Mengting respectfully saluted Jiang Yuanhe.
After that, Jiang Yuanhe thanked several young people again, and those people were also embarrassed.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. Naturally, my father walked outside the house. Jiang Jingwen guessed that he must have gone to the lobby of the medical hall. For many years, my father did not have the habit of going to bed early, and he would always go to the lobby of the infirmary for a while at night to see if there would be any more patients who would come in the evening.
Therefore, this is the reason why Jiang Jingwen has not slept late at night and came to the outside of the hall of the medical hall.
Standing in the doorway for a while, she sneezed and opened the hall door.
After a few glances inside, Jiang Jingwen found her father sitting at the table in the center. My father seemed to be reading a book, so it must be a book about doctors.
"You can never finish reading a doctor's book, and even if you spend a lifetime reading it, you may not be able to grasp all the knowledge. Because...... There are so many life-threatening diseases!"
These are the words that my father used to say. Therefore, he naturally chooses to read more physician books in his free time.
Jiang Jingwen looked at her father who was reading for a long time, but her eyes didn't take off. The father was too engrossed in his gaze to notice that his daughter was looking at him.
Jiang Jingwen exhaled deeply, and her mind filtered the words she wanted to say over and over again.
Just like Shen Mengting suggested, Jiang Jingwen needs to tell the words that have been buried in her heart for many years. Only when it is spoken, will the father know. Then she can go and live the life she wants.
Whether it was the 'desire for freedom' or the study of the 'evil doctor', she had to speak out bravely.
When the time comes, as long as she stands firmly in front of her father, she will reveal all her words.
'Father, I'm going to tell you a few things. These words have been in my heart for years, and now I need to tell you them. Father! I'm an adult with my own mind, and I want to live the life I want, and I don't want to be tied up in this town and then spend my whole life seeing other people! I want to go out and live a free life. Of course, there's one more thing I want to tell you. That is, I have been exposed to the skills of the 'evil doctor' in private, and I have also been in 'demonic form' more than once. Of course, I know you're going to object to me studying 'Evil Physician'. Because you have always thought that doctors should treat diseases and save people, and you must not do anything that hurts others. ’
But I don't think so. I think that physicians are absolutely equal to other professions in Seros. What can be done in other professions, doctors can also do it. It's not the kind of person who takes the initiative to hurt others, but can protect himself in times of crisis. That's how I got into the Evil Physician' skill in the first place. ’
Also, leaving this clinic and going out freely is also my most essential idea. I long for freedom, I want to be free. I never thought of me as just a subordinate on my father's side. I hope to be a different doctor than my father."
This is all Jiang Jingwen has to say.
She took another deep breath, but as she walked into the depths of the infirmary, her breath suddenly stopped. He no longer continues to breathe, but is in a state of complete tension and breath-holding.
The father was still there leisurely reading the book, unaware of his daughter's approach.
Okay! At this moment, I will reveal all my thoughts to my father! Jiang Jingwen walked lightly towards her father. She was about to say something, but her father's sudden cough squeaked her.
"Ahem...... Cough...... cough...... "My father's cough seemed to be very severe, and he covered his mouth with one hand.
Suddenly, Jiang Jingwen noticed a trace of electricity passing through her heart. She felt sour in her heart, her father had paid too much for this family, for this hospital, and for his daughter. If you say something hurtful to him now, is it too cruel, Jiang Jingwen hesitated a little.
At this moment, a fragment flashed in Jiang Jingwen's mind: her father was lonely and holding his old posture, watching the illness for others. The father may be very old, and even a minimum of self-care has become a problem. And Jiang Jingwen, who is his daughter, is actually living happily outside at the moment, and she is also called longing for freedom.
Jiang Jingwen quickly shook her head and dispelled the scene. It was only then that she realized a serious problem, what would she do with her father, who was alone in this town, if she went out and longed for freedom?
As this question continued to invade Jiang Jingwen's thoughts, she began to regret it a little. Looking at her father who kept coughing, she didn't want to break her father's heart.
So......
She slowly took a few steps back, almost out of the idea of revealing her heart to her father.
Whatever is in my heart, I have to consider my father's feelings. Well, yes!' she raised her head slightly, enduring the sourness that corroded her heart, and she chose to remain silent.
Okay! Forget it at all! As long as the father lives for one day, the children should fulfill their responsibilities! Jiang Jingwen turned around and took a miserable breath. She was about to walk out the door at the beginning.
However, just as she was about to walk out, her father's voice suddenly sounded.
"Jingwen, don't you have anything to say to your father?"
