Chapter 118: Luck and Misfortune
Zhao Huan heard the words of the two of them, and nodded along with Chu Yu's words, "Ah Wan suffered misfortune when she was young, and she heard that the doctor was worried about her superb skills, and she begged for Ah Wan's diagnosis and treatment. ”
"Please take a seat, remove the hat." The voice of relief is calm and reassuring.
Despite this, the girl's hand hidden in the sleeve couldn't help but tremble, and after calming down, she raised a pair of pale and slender hands and lifted up the white veil on one side.
Xie Worry's eyes flashed, she saw that the girl's hands were scarred, raised her head, in front of her was a bloodless face, her chin was sharpened, and a scar more than three inches long ran from her forehead to her cheeks, even if the color of the scar had faded, it was still hideous and terrifying, and her eyes were dull, afraid that she was blind.
Chu Yu hurriedly raised her eyes and glanced at them, then looked away, as if any more glance would ruin her own appearance.
Xiang Liang shook his head and sighed helplessly.
Zhao Wanzhi pursed her bloodless lips, listened with bated breath for a long time, and did not hear a trace of ridicule or surprise from Xie Wu, her tense face eased a little, and with a lift of her hand, she slowly took off the hat that covered her face and held it in her arms.
Removing the cover of the white veil, Xie Wu realized that the white clothes on her body were somewhat similar to the mourning clothes, although not exactly, but at a glance, it was always reminiscent.
Zhao Huan helped his young sister sit down, Zhao Wanzhi groped the edge of the case, adjusted her sitting posture, and tried to sit upright, but from her difficult movements, Xie Wei could sense that she was only afraid of the torture of illness on her body.
"Doctor." Her pale lips opened and closed, and she spoke softly, as if asking something very common, "How many years does Awan have to ......live?" ”
With a "snap" sound, a scroll of books in Chu Yu's hand fell to the ground and scattered.
Chu Yu didn't even forget to pick up the bamboo slips, and only stared at Zhao Wanzhi's terrifying face with wide eyes, unbelievable, incomprehensible, and completely looked down on her.
Chu is heavy on ghosts and gods, heavy sacrifices, and very secretive about life and death. How could she ask such a thing lightly?! This is simply an insult to the doctor! It's so unlucky!
"Ah, the book is finished." relieved his worries and reminded him, but his brows were already wrinkled
Chu Yu's move was too impolite, if she was just an ignorant little girl. But from the day she studied medicine, Xie Wei told her that no matter what kind of illness she faced, she should not show a little joy and disgust, she was too out of shape this time - after all, she was still a noble delicate, and the country was easy to change. A crow never the whiter for washing herself often.
Chu Yu heard the suppressed displeasure in her voice, hurriedly leaned over to pick up Jane, bit her lip lightly, and shrank behind Xie Wei and stared at Zhao Wan resentfully, but a concubine with a ruined appearance, how could she get her brother to reconcile her worries in every way?!
"When was Awan injured?" Xie Wei pressed his hand lightly on his chest, according to the rough estimation of the color of the scar, it has been about ten years, and this injury should have been suffered by Zhao Wanzhi when she was very young - this girl's fate is similar to herself.
Zhao Wanzhi groaned and thought for a moment. His lips curled slightly, "Seventeen years." ”
Seventeen years have passed, she is blind, she can't see what a terrible appearance she is, but she has a very good ear, in the past, when the noble ladies of Yingdu gathered, she could often hear people talking behind their backs, saying that the Zhao family had raised a daughter who was not a ghost or a ghost, as if by belittling her, they could be more noble.
Compared to those very harsh words behind it. Zhao Wanzhi instead felt that Chu Yu was really cute.
"When Awan was three years old, she migrated to Shouchun with her clan, and was robbed on the way, and the clansmen were all ......" said here. She shook her head, hid her face with her hands, and didn't want to say more.
Zhao Huan shook her trembling hand and sighed, "A Wannai is a branch of the clan, and it was robbed on the way." The guards were unfavorable, no one answered, and the thieves slaughtered the clan as soon as possible...... By the time the clan was found, it had been more than half of the three days, and Awan was young and injured...... However, the injuries were not fatal. But for a girl, such an injury has ruined her life, and it is better to die.
"Brother Huan." Zhao Wanzhi turned to the side and shook his head very seriously, but his voice was hesitant and uncertain, "My brother is not dead, my brother is really not dead......"
When she was older, Zhao Huan told her that when the clan went to collect the body, it was her half-brother who was missing, and she decided that her brother had been rescued.
She had always believed that she would one day reunite with her brother, so even though her face was terrible, and her limbs and joints were sore from the cold rain when she was seriously injured, she survived tenaciously.
It's been seventeen years in the blink of an eye, but the brother who escaped death is still missing, the state of Chu is dead, and she doesn't know where to find her brother.
This time, Zhao Huan said that Jiuzhi had a very powerful medical worry, and brought her to diagnose the disease, and the scar on her face may not be removed, at least she will keep her body firmly up, in fact, she has no hope at all, just to relax.
Thinking of Zhao Huan's earnest persuasion before leaving, Zhao Wanzhi couldn't help but bow her head, her eyes were slightly red, but there were no tears in her gloomy eyes.
In fact, it makes sense for those noble girls to laugh at her, as a noble girl, if she can't marry for the family, then it is useless, her appearance has been ruined, and it is useless for the clan, but Zhao Huan has treated her like a sister over the years, and she has tried her best to protect her.
She has nothing to repay all her life.
Xie Wu looked at her for a while, held her thin hand, and said in a harmonious voice: "The sorrow is slaughtered by people, and the body is scarred, which will never be erased, but to this day, I have never used this as a ghost. ”
She is still alive, so naturally she wants to live well like a person, and she will be as bright as possible.
Zhao Wanzhi flickered, and for the first time in her life, she wanted to see what the person she was talking to was like.
In Chu Yu's jealous eyes, Xie Wu quickly let go of her hand, "There is one side of worry, maybe it can cure Awan's pain, but the doctor first heals the heart, Awan can understand?" ”
If the demons are not removed, no matter how good the medicine is, it will be in vain, and Zhao Wanzhi has to find her own goal of living, not to live in the world for others.
Zhao Wanzhi pondered for a moment and nodded heavily.
"Master Huan, the doctor will send someone to send it later." Xie Wei got up with a smile and watched them leave.
Xiang Liang hugged his fist with the gift of a martial artist, his eyes were full of admiration, whether the girl of the Zhao family was alive or not was not a matter of ten days and a half months, and he didn't want to relieve her worries with a word.
Xie Wei smiled humbly, turned around, Chu Yu bit his lip tightly, his eyes were red, and the tip of his nose was also red, and he was about to cry with grievance.
"Ahh Xie sighed, "Looking at it with Qing, Wan Zhi in this life, fortunately?" Unfortunate huh? ”
"It's a misfortune." Chu Yu didn't think about it, and blurted out. Zhao Wanzhi's closest clansmen are all dead, although she is taken care of by her cousin, who is the sister-in-law of the Zhao family, but she is blind, and she grew up with such a hideous and terrifying ghost-like face, what luck can she be like?
