Chapter 130: The Daughter's Complaint
Jiang Jingwen put away the precious Lingzhi, and her face bloomed with a sense of satisfied joy.
"Then, since the tasks have been completed, let's also prepare to return!" Shen Mengting immediately instructed everyone.
Qian Hao kept fiddling with his head, and he felt that he should indeed go back first. Zhao Yu didn't object to anything. So, everyone got on their horses and turned their direction towards the town of Arakawa, which they had walked out of.
Now that the task had been completed, the group was not as urgent as when they first came out, and the three horses were moving forward at a constant pace. Anyway, it's still early, and they're not in a hurry to rush back.
Shen Mengting manipulated 'Nasa' from time to time, and kept looking around. Zhao Yu was still sitting in front of her as always, just looking down at the front in a daze.
The low sound of horses' hooves echoed in my ears over and over again, and it seemed that this was the only sound around. Because it is just moving forward at a constant speed, the sound of hooves has a wonderful sense of rhythm.
Perhaps feeling that the current situation was a bit dull, Qian Hao glanced at the rest of the people, and then did not forget to start a chatterbox.
"Wow! What's wrong with everyone! Obviously, the task has been completed, and Lingzhi has also been obtained, so why don't you feel much joy!" Qian Hao smiled and squeezed his eyebrows, and put one hand on the back of his head.
Shen Mengting glanced at him angrily, "How do you know that we don't have a sense of joy?"
"Aren't you talking?" Qian Hao held his hand and swept it to the side.
"What do you want to talk about, you think it's all the same, what kind of pick-up game do you like to play when you're idle!"
was rushed a few times in a row, and Qian Hao stopped making a sound. He swallowed his saliva quite aggrievedly, and his neck shrank accordingly: It's really good to be repaid! I see that the current atmosphere is too dull, so I just want to be a little active, how can I let this woman count down so badly?
Qian Hao's eyes gradually widened, and the gaze he shot was extremely serious.
At this time, a sharp pain came from his waist, causing Qian Hao to quickly cover his back and spine with his backhand. To be honest, the fall from the bottom of the cliff just now really choked him enough. Although Zhao Yu's immobilization technique rescued him, he finally fell to the ground. Therefore, his whole body is still somewhat painful.
Shen Mengting paid attention to all the man's actions, she wanted to say something, but because she couldn't find the entry point, she had no choice but to give up. However, as Qian Hao said, the current atmosphere is too dreary, and it is not at all like what it should be when completing the task.
So, Shen Mengting decided to adjust the current silent atmosphere. She swayed her head from side to side, and finally locked her perspective on Jiang Jingwen on the left.
At this moment, the girl seemed to be a little distracted, and although her hands were on the reins of the horse, they did not feel as if she were controlling the horse at all. Also, her body swayed slightly as the horses moved.
What's wrong?Shen Mengting's brows furrowed slightly.
"Xiaowen, what's wrong with you?" Shen Mengting slowly leaned forward and looked at Jiang Jingwen's face, "Do you have something on your mind?"
Jiang Jingwen walked out of the other person's inquiry, the girl seemed very surprised, and after looking left and right in a panic, she realized that it was Shen Mengting who was calling her.
"Ahh
Shen Mengting blinked, "It's time to ask what's wrong?I haven't spoken much since I got on the horse, and my expression has become much more serious, what's wrong?Are you thinking about something?"
Jiang Jingwen straightened her upper body, and her pull on the horse's reins became stronger, "Ahh ”
"Really?" Shen Mengting was obviously a little unconvinced.
"It's nothing! Sister Mengting!" Jiang Jingwen quickly showed her characteristic kind and warm smile. However, this smile seems very unnatural at first glance, and there is a kind of hasty implementation of the fake.
"Okay then!" Seeing this, Shen Mengting didn't ask anything more. However, she still rolled her eyes in her socket quickly, "Xiaowen! Actually, today's trip is quite smooth! I thought that Lingzhi would be looking for a long time, but I didn't expect to find it with so much effort." ”
When Qian Hao on the side heard this, he quickly folded his neck - I just fell from the cliff, and it didn't leave any weight in your heart! You just use 'so much effort' to describe the tortuous process of getting Lingzhi. Oh my god!
"Ah! I can't say that! Mr. Qian Hao almost fell off the cliff!" Jiang Jingwen added.
Qian Hao's ears pricked up suddenly, and the expression on his face seemed to be full of vitality, "Ah! Yes, Miss Jiang Jingwen, thank you for remembering my efforts." Oops! Honestly, I just choked on a fall!" He smiled and began to touch his lower back.
"I think he did it himself. Shen Mengting exhaled viciously, "I reminded him earlier and told him to be careful." But he's still so desperately swinging his head and tail on the cliff that he even sings. Do you think he can stop falling?"
Qian Hao's face tightened suddenly, and he came with an unbelievable expression, "Hey, Miss Shen Mengting! Why do you talk like this! I have no merit and hard work! Why do you always come to me angrily to say a few words!"
"Alright! Alright!" Seeing this formation, Jiang Jingwen hurriedly stretched out her hand and kept pressing down, "Don't quarrel! Actually, ...... I really appreciate you! Thank you so much to everyone here. Because of your arrival, my life is no longer so spotless. So, I really appreciate you. ”
Jiang Jingwen's words were like a flood breaking through a dam, forming a barrier between Shen Mengting and Qian Hao.
After Shen Mengting and Qian Hao looked at each other, they stopped bickering.
The march of the three horses continued, and soon they were about to leave the plain.
Looking at the approaching woods, Shen Mengting glanced at Jiang Jingwen again. Today's Jiang Jingwen is not at all as energetic as a child, although this girl often has a smile on her face, as long as you have a little experience, you can see that she is pretending to be a public.
That means that Jiang Jingwen's life is not happy!
Shen Mengting noticed this, but she couldn't imagine where Jiang Jingwen was dissatisfied with life?
"Xiaowen, are you dissatisfied with life and He?" Shen Mengting asked tentatively.
The question seemed to hit Jiang Jingwen's heart, and she raised her eyebrows sharply, but quickly cooled down her facial expression as if she were disguised.
"Ah, Sister Mengting, why do you ask that?"
Shen Mengting looked straight ahead. In this way, she saw the back of Zhao Yu's head sitting in front of her, "Xiaowen, I just made you a little too disguised yourself." Actually......" Eyes jumped over Zhao Yu, and Shen Mengting looked at the vast sky ahead, "Actually, you are not a person who likes to put a smile on your face, but why do you often use a mask to deal with others?"
When Qian Hao heard this, he also looked at Jiang Jingwen in puzzlement. He had also noticed this phenomenon earlier, but he was not familiar with the girl, so he did not say it directly.
And what about Zhao Yu now? He seemed to sense that the current atmosphere was a little weird. He looked at Qian Hao on the right from time to time, and quickly glanced at Jiang Jingwen on the left. In the end, he didn't even forget to glance back at Shen Mengting. At first, Zhao Yu just didn't know, what were these three people talking about?
Jiang Jingwen lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked to the side. It was a self-deprecating laugh, though. "I was thinking. When my father learns that we have obtained the Lingzhi, he will be very happy!"
It was this question that made Shen Mengting straighten her upper body, "Xiaowen, what do you think of your father?"
Jiang Jingwen didn't raise her head, she still looked at the neck of the horse she was riding. Still, she smiled miserably, "I've always been very, very ...... Very, very revered my father. Because I know that he is a physician with master-level strength. He's the best. ”
"Yes! Yes! Uncle Jiang Yuanhe deserves such praise!" Shen Mengting pulled the reins of the horse with her right hand. She knew that Jiang Yuanhe's physician strength was the top in the Saran Kingdom. It is not an exaggeration to say that this man is the first person to be a physician in Saran.
"Really?" Jiang Jingwen suddenly stopped bowing her head, she raised her head high and looked at the boundless sky. The huge sky seemed to be filled with countless white clouds, "Sister Mengting, I thank you for complimenting my father like this!"
Shen Mengting sensed the subtlety of Jiang Jingwen's tone, "Hmm, am I wrong?"
"I see! She has some contradictions with her father!" Qian Hao, who had been silent for a long time, could be regarded as interjecting a sentence, "The relationship between father and daughter has never been as harmonious as it seems!"
"Xiaowen, do you have any opinion on Uncle Jiang Yuanhe?" Shen Mengting also asked tentatively.
"No! Not at all! I don't have any problem with my father!" Jiang Jingwen denied at the moment.
"Did you notice some of your father's shortcomings?" asked Qian Hao one step ahead, "Well, actually, the appearance of a person at home and outside is completely different. It may be that a very perfect person, lacking in the family will expose some unknown shortcomings. And these shortcomings will be captured by their own families. ”
"Hey, Qian Hao!" Shen Mengting reminded in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qian Hao realized that he seemed to be talking too much, and he quickly covered his mouth and pretended to say something else.
"It's okay! Sister Mengting! He can say this, and he has the right to say this!" When she said these words, Jiang Jingwen's face was completely expressionless. However, this also seems to echo her actual character, "There have been many people who have accused my father behind his back, saying that he is a very hypocritical villain on the surface. But those were all accusations of jealousy. Those people who can't do it themselves are good, so they often speculate maliciously about others. Most of my father and I ignored this kind of person. ”
"But......" Suddenly, Jiang Jingwen looked at everyone present, "I can guarantee that my father is a very, very good person, and he definitely doesn't have those unknown shortcomings." ”
"Well, I can also guarantee that I have absolute trust in Uncle Jiang Yuanhe's character. ”
"My father is the same when he is outside and at home, he is completely upright and attentive!" Jiang Jingwen's mouth moved, and she was also recalling the past of contact with her father.
"So what are you still bothering about?" Qian Hao leaned back in confusion. In this way, his posture on horseback is a little awkward.
That's why I'm troubled. Jiang Jingwen lowered her head. This time she bowed her head in discouragement, and her shoulders sank, "Father is too upright. During the time he moved to Arakawa, he was the best doctor he could be. He will do his best to save every patient, and he will help those who want to help. It doesn't matter if you're from a wealthy family, or you're poor and can't afford even the most basic medical bills. Father will do his best to help!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Jingwen rubbed her eyes, looking very bitter.
"Isn't that good?" Shen Mengting tilted her head.
"Not good! not at all. Jiang Jingwen glanced at Shen Mengting carefully, "At least for me, it's not good at all!"
Shen Mengting felt a little weird, and Qian Hao next to her was even more confused.
"Actually...... I'd rather my father wasn't so upright, and I even wanted him to be a different person, which would be a good relief for me anyway. ”
"Ahh
"Because of my father's goodness, it is a kind of constraint to me. This kind of bondage not only completely bound me, but also destroyed my life!"
"Ahh She didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Jingwen's words.
Why? Why is it so serious? Shen Mengting looked at Jiang Jingwen in surprise, and those two eyeballs seemed to pop out.
Jiang Jingwen knew the reason for the surprise shown by her companions, and she stared at the road ahead, even the reins that had been used to control the horses to walk were no longer forceful.
"I know why you are surprised, and perhaps you all think that it is a great honor to have such a great and wonderful father. But...... I never thought so. I've always felt like it was a pressure. In normal times, as soon as I go out, people will say, 'Look! That's Dr. Jiang Yuanhe's daughter, she must be as good as Dr. Jiang,' which invisibly put a lot of pressure on me, and I don't want to live in my father's shadow like this." ”
Shen Mengting listened quietly to Jiang Jingwen's 'accusation', and her eyes were rolling from time to time. But soon, Shen Mengting tilted her mouth as a whole, as if she was deliberately highlighting the corners of her mouth.
"But Xiaowen! You are indeed a good and excellent daughter! Not only in terms of daughters, I, Shen Mengting, dare to guarantee that you are the best among women of this age. As the daughter of Uncle Jiang Yuanhe, you are also the most well-deserved. Shen Mengting only raised herself and gave her a thumbs up.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingwen suddenly laughed. After a few seconds of precipitation, the girl shook her head quickly, and the frequency was relatively large.
"No, I don't have that confidence, and I don't feel like I'm good. ”
"Xiaowen, don't be so self-confident! Actually, you're amazing. After that, Shen Mengting didn't forget to turn her head and look at Qian Hao.
Qian Hao would also immediately echo his intentions, "Ah, yes, yes! Ms. Jiang Jingwen has always been the best, and at the age of twenty, she can ride on horseback so skillfully. Not only that, but being able to pass the primary trial of a physician at this age is a very remarkable ability!"
When Zhao Yu heard this, he thought he was sarcastic, so he opened his mouth slightly and looked at Qian Hao with a helpless look.
But Qian Hao's current energy has no time to take care of it at all, he just takes turns looking at the two girls, Shen Mengting and Jiang Jingwen.
"Well, Qian Hao is right. Xiaowen!" Shen Mengting freed up a hand and patted Jiang Jingwen's back. The distance between the two riding each other is still relatively close, so Shen Mengting can completely shoot each other's backs, "Don't think about it anymore, you are really qualified to be Uncle Jiang Yuanhe's daughter." ”
Jiang Jingwen let out a sluggish breath, "Sister Mengting! I don't think you understand what I mean." “
At this time, Shen Mengting and Qian Hao's expressions were even more puzzled.
"It's not that I feel inferior and feel that I can't do my daughter's duties! I just feel ......" Jiang Jingwen seemed to hesitate. However, she finally confided her inner words thoroughly, "I think it's completely wrong for my father to do this." I have never recognized my father's excellence. ”
As soon as her words came out, Shen Mengting and Qian Hao were surprised.
"I never identified with my father, even though he was a respected figure. No, I'm even a little disgusted with that. Because I know that I will never be as good as my father, and I will never be a physician like my father. Jiang Jingwen's gaze seemed to be chaotic, and she was completely distracted, "I definitely can't treat every patient with such hard work." At the same time, I don't think it's the right thing to do to treat every patient equally!"
After hearing this, Shen Mengting nodded quite understandingly, "Well, yes! Xiaowen! I understand what you mean, I am not that kind of idealist, in fact, I have reservations about Uncle Jiang Yuanhe's theory of saving people." ”
But my father didn't think so, he always wanted me to be completely him, to be a replacement for Dr. Jiang Yuanhe. But I had my own ideas! I've always wanted to be a doctor. Jiang Jingwen's tone seemed to be a little sad, "It's the kind of 'doctor who lives freely and can run around'." ”
When Shen Mengting heard this, she couldn't help but blurt out the name of 'Xiaowen'.
"Every day, I wander around the kingdom of Saran, and while living a life of travel, I explore all kinds of medical skills. By the way, I can also treat some civilians on the road - this is my ideal life. ”
Jiang Jingwen's words made the atmosphere completely dull, and Shen Mengting and Qian Hao stopped squeaking. Perhaps, what they thought in their hearts was that under Jiang Jingwen's smiling face, there were so many opinions hidden.
"But...... My father ruthlessly erased the life I had hoped for, and even though I knew he didn't mean it, he did it. The existence of my father also completely shattered my dream of traveling around the world. The days to come ......" Speaking of this, Jiang Jingwen sighed miserably, "I'm afraid I will inherit my father's medical hall, just like my father, and live in this Arakawa Town forever." ”
