Lushui Town.

A very backward town. The town has more than 50 natural villages and seven administrative villages. An area of more than seventy square kilometers. Nearly 60,000 people live.

The people of the town. Depend on crops for a living.

There is a bazaar in the centre of town. Something that the villagers usually need. It can be bought at the bazaar.

In the bazaar. There is the only middle and high school in town.

September. Back-to-school season. Students from Lushui Town High School are returning to school. He has a simple smile on his face that is characteristic of a country child. Especially the children in the first year of high school. That youthful and fresh breath. It is the envy of many older people.

The sophomore is already quite familiar with school. I asked my classmates to come back in groups. Say hello when you see the teacher.

But in school. More and faster chapters are here. Some of the staff are not teachers. But it is also welcomed and respected by the students. For example, the woman who came from afar.

"Sister Xiao Ning." Some students waved at the woman from afar.

The woman named Xiao Ning came over. He smiled at the students. And don't speak.

The school girl who followed her sister to the school to report poked her sister's arm: "Sister." Who is she? It's so beautiful to laugh at. Do we have such a beautiful female teacher here? ”

"She's not a teacher." Sister sues sister. "She was the cook in our high school cafeteria. We love her cooking. If only the cafeteria didn't have her. It's long gone out of business. We all went to the cafeteria for her. ”

"Such a young chef. It's weird. My sister clearly couldn't understand.

My sister flicked my sister's head: "Actually." She only came to our town last year. It was still a sensation in the town for a while. Now she is probably going to Li Daquan's house to repay the money. ”

The Li family. It has one of the largest fishing boats in town. Every year, he leads the town's crew out to sea. The harvest is very rich. As a result, he became the richest family in town.

And Xiao Ning. Money owed to the Li family.

Her salary in the cafeteria was not high. Only one thousand eight. But she will return a fixed amount to the Li family every month.

Today. It's time for her to pay back the money again.

She had eight hundred dollars in her pocket. Slowly walk out of the school with your head down. Eight minutes later. Arrived at the largest building in town, with pale yellow tiles on the façade. More and faster chapters are here. This is the Li family.

The townspeople didn't have the concept of installing doorbells yet. Xiao Ning knocked on the door. Took a few steps back. Waiting for Li Daquan to come out.

Not for a while. A man came out and opened the door. I met Xiao Ning. "Yo." sounded. He looked at the woman in front of him with a slight hanging head.

Xiao Ning handed the money out. After a moment, he said, "Receipt." ”

"Tsk." The fat on Li Daquan's face was moving. "Didn't you say your brain burned out? Why don't you forget to ask me for a receipt every month. ”

Xiao Ning didn't speak. She was slow to react though. But she's not stupid.

She knows it too. Li Daquan is not a good person. Don't get the voucher from him. He wouldn't admit to taking her money.

Li Daquan handed the receipt to Xiao Ning. Stained with spittle, he counted the money: "Just right." Eight hundred. ”

Xiao Ning also put away Li Daquan's receipt. Turn around and leave. was stopped by Li Daquan: "Stop." Ay. Do you want to come in and sit in my house? ”

Intuition sues sù Xiao Ning. Nothing good will happen to Li Daquan's family when they go in. That's why she just stepped back. Avoid being forced into it by him.

She shook her head.

"Looks like you're so stupid." Li Daquan scoffed. "If you are asked to marry me, you will not agree. If you marry me. Not only do you not have to work in that kitchen. You can also eat fragrant and drink spicy food every day, and wear beautiful clothes. ”

Xiao Ningquan didn't hear anything. Turned around and walked towards Uncle He's Chinese medicine clinic. More and faster chapters are here.

There are several health clinics and small medical stations in the town. But the Chinese medicine hall. There is only Uncle He's family.

She survived. It's all up to Uncle He. Until today. She was still taking the medicine prescribed by Uncle He.

Those pills are bitter. But Uncle He said that drinking it was good for her. She doesn't understand. But knowing that Uncle He would not harm her. So I drank it anyway.

The business of the uncle's medical clinic is not very good. When Xiao Ning went in. Uncle He is taking the pulse of a patient. She didn't bother either. He sat quietly on an old wooden chair beside him. Hang your head and wait.

The other side. After Uncle He took the patient's pulse. I wrote a prescription. Let her go next door to get the medicine.

"Uncle He." Xiao Ning got up at this time. Walked over to Uncle He's table. Update as soon as possible, and hand her five big red bills. "This month's medicine money."

Uncle He sighed. Took the money.

In fact. Xiao Ning's monthly medicine cost is not so much. She insisted on giving him so much. It's just to repay him for rescuing her from Li Daquan.

Uncle He has no children and no daughters. treated Xiao Ning as his daughter like this. Do your best to recuperate her body.

And now. Her body had almost recovered. But there was nothing he could do about her brain.

"The medicine is ready." Uncle He said. "Go drink it. When it was over, we had dinner together. ”

Xiao Ning nodded slowly. Slowly walked to the back of the house.

Uncle He looked at her back. Sighed again. My mind slowly drifted back to last year.

At the end of last year. Li Daquan's fishing boat returned. Halfway through, he said that he was hooked by something. The crew reached down to fish. As a result, a woman was fished out.

At that time, a boatload of people was scared to death. When I was at a loss, I realized that the woman was not dead. She still breathes.

She was more beautiful than any woman Li Daquan had ever seen. Delicate facial features. The skin is like clotted fat. Black hair like ink. Li Daquan swallowed his saliva and brought her back. He was sent to a hospital in the city for treatment.

She was in a coma in the hospital for a whole month. I never opened my eyes. It's just that occasionally it's called something like "the same", "Tianning" and the like.

The doctor at the hospital said after examining her. There is a strange disease in this woman. Not contagious. But they were helpless. Even if this woman can wake up. She wouldn't be a normal person either.

A month later. She woke up. I was dazed as if I had just come to this world. Very sluggish response. I don't even know what her name is.

She just repeated four words: Tianning, strange or the same. No one can hear the specifics.

But even so. It doesn't affect her beauty. Li Daquan asked the hospital to cure her.

How did the small hospital know what kind of disease she had. It was said that her blood tests were abnormal. She was discharged from the hospital. The doctors at the small clinic couldn't do anything about her. At last. She was sent by Li Daquan to Uncle He's Chinese medicine hall.

Uncle He gave her a pulse. There is also no cure. The first time to update and during this time. She didn't speak. Most of the time, I stared out with empty eyes.

Li Daquan gritted his teeth. It's just gone. announced to the public that he was going to marry this woman.

This is the time. She had a reaction...... Hysterical. As long as Li Daquan approached. She would put the knife to her neck. Nor do they speak. Just staring at Li Daquan. It seems that as long as Li Daquan goes further. She'd slash it into her neck.

Uncle He knows. She is unwilling to marry Li Daquan. Can. Her life was saved by Li Daquan.

Later. She had a high fever. All hospitals can't do it. Uncle He used earthwork to cool her down. finally saved her life.

But even if she died, she didn't want to marry Li Daquan. Uncle He helped her. Let her stay in the hospital.

Of course, Li Daquan would not give up like this. asked Uncle He to reimburse her for the expenses during her hospitalization. Otherwise he will take people away.

The business of Uncle He's medical clinic is not good. I can only feed myself. Where is there so much money for Li Daquan.

But this is the time. She opened her mouth and said the first complete sentence: "I will work to pay you back." ”

But one is unresponsive. A woman who is still reluctant to speak. Where can I go to work?

Thankfully. In the end, Uncle He found out that she was a good cook. And the high school cafeteria is short of a cook. And let her go.

Uncle He asked her what her name was. She couldn't search for anything from her blank head. I can only shake my head. Repeating those four words: Tien. The same

Later. Uncle He called her Xiao Ning. She didn't have an opinion either.

After going to work in the cafeteria. She was paid one thousand eight. Give Li Daquan a little bit back every month. Give Uncle He a little more. The only ones left. She used it to add some groceries to herself. It's just enough.

The eldest sisters and aunts who work in the cafeteria. I wonder why she has such good cooking skills. Ask her. She couldn't say anything.

Her head was blank.

The doctor said. She's not amnesia. She's just getting too sluggish. Nothing can be remembered anymore. I can't say what happened before.

As a matter of fact. She didn't have much to say. Just looking at the ingredients. Subconsciously, a voice told her what to do. How to do it.

Because of her. The cafeteria, where the school was closing, was repopulated. Therefore. Others were okay with her. The students also learned that the delicious meals were made by this taciturn woman. I usually meet her. I'll say hi to her, too.

And she couldn't remember the names of the students. I can only nod my head every time. Smile.

Just like today.

After leaving Uncle He's medical hall. Xiao Ning walked back to school slowly.

The first day of school. The school is bustling. She walked through the bustle with her head down. I don't feel anything...... It was as if she was living in another world.

After returning to the cafeteria. She tied her hair up. Start preparing your afternoon meals.

Not for a while. The eldest sister in charge of the cafeteria came in. Loudly announced: "Military training for freshmen in high school." The troops will arrive tomorrow at noon. Eighteen people. Xiao Ning. You prepare their meals separately tomorrow. The principal said. There are big names among the people who came this time. Don't slack off. ”

Xiao Ning thought stunned. I'm here for military training for the freshmen. Is it a military man.

The vague shadow flashed through her mind again. There was a sour feeling in my heart again. Tears fell into the basin of water.

In fact. She wasn't so stupid as to forget anything. There is a silhouette of a man. She remembers it vaguely.

She felt. As long as I can see that person again. The one in military uniform. Tall and imposing people. She'll be able to recognize him.

Maybe. She should ask the soldiers who will come tomorrow. Do you recognize the vague him in her mind?

She really. Missed that guy a lot
