Chapter 2: Karma Arises Like Birth [Act 3] Disillusionment (11)

"Forensics?" Yu Wei frowned slightly, remembering her former friend Hu Ruotong, and because of the teaching in the future university class, she roughly knew that this profession, which was called '仵zuo' [39] in ancient times, was extremely lowly, and could only be examined by untouchables or slaves. Until the Republic of China, forensic prejudice was still deep at all levels of society, and even men were reluctant to take responsibility. Xu Pingjun, who was born in a famous family, was able to choose such a study, and his courage is really commendable.

"Congratulations, Miss Pingjun." Yu Wei called Xu Pingjun, who was passing by on the right side, and her tone did not hide her admiration and admiration, "Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the present, forensic medicine has always been taboo by all levels of society, so few people are engaged in this profession. As a woman, you resolutely chose it, and you must have been strongly opposed by your parents. ”

'Your parents? Hearing this, the corners of Xu Pingjun's lips raised slightly, and he secretly smiled that the woman in front of him really didn't know etiquette - he didn't respect the other party's parents as 'Ling Zun Ling Ci', but a hasty sentence of 'parents'. Fortunately, she doesn't care about these now, otherwise the other party would have been so rude and would have been severely reprimanded by her.

After all, the true identity of the other party has been determined in the face of a series of mistakes. If it was really 'her', wouldn't the previous attitude towards 'Lin Jingru' completely hurt the best friend, and the broken friendship would be difficult to repair? Not only that, but the guilt that has been deposited in my heart for a long time, endless thoughts and repentance, can no longer speak, so that I will regret it for the rest of my life?

"Indeed." Thinking of this, Xu Pingjun bowed his head, and his voice was no longer indifferent and ridiculed before, "My decision to change the line was strongly opposed by my father and mother. They were afraid that my life would be in danger if I was poisoned by corpses. But they didn't know that compared with the doctors whose vocation was to save lives and help the wounded, the forensic doctors who avenged the deceased were more noble! ”

What a familiar saying! Yu Wei was stunned, her thoughts drifted away, and she returned to a conversation with Ruotong on the eve of the college entrance examination when she filled in the volunteers.

"Ruotong, have you filled out your college entrance examination volunteer form?" Looking at Ruotong, who was reciting English words with her eyes closed, Yuwei put down the math problem in her hand and stretched her waist to ask.

Ruotong opened her eyes, picked up two densely written papers from the table and handed them to her, her eyebrows were full of pride, "It's already done!" You see, it's the same university as you! ”

Yu Wei happily took the form, and after only a glance, she shouted in dismay: "Forensic Department? My good Ruotong, you have to think carefully about being a woman, the consequence of dealing with corpses all day long is that you won't be able to marry in the future! ”

"Cut~ I'm Hu someone, Yan zhòng, you old diehard!" Ruotong made a grimace at Yuwei, pretending to be a positive color, "As everyone knows, compared to Dr. Lan, who takes saving lives and helping the injured as his vocation, my forensic doctor Hu who avenges the deceased is more noble!" ”

Yu Wei was suddenly choked speechless, stomped her feet in shame, reached out to Ruotong's armpits, and Ruotong, who was so panicked that she was extremely afraid of itching, hurriedly dodged and dodged. In the smiling gaze of Yuwei's mother, who was fashionable and alive, the two made a mess -

So, why do Xu Pingjun and Hu Ruotong look very different, but they are strangely equally sharp-toothed, and even have the same views on specific issues? Could it be that in different time and space, two people with such similar temperaments can be allowed to exist one after another?

Yu Wei looked at Xu Pingjun's reserved figure, a doubt that had never been noticed quickly occupied her mind, and she didn't realize that Christina next to her was shaking her arm desperately: "Mia! Professor Conrad is asking you to go up to the podium and get a recommendation form! Go, go, go! ”

In Yuwei's puzzled look and hesitant steps, Professor Conrad smiled, handed her the form, and said softly: "This is the school's affirmation of your efforts!" After the last test, we thoroughly saw the wisdom and self-improvement of the Chinese! So you are fully qualified for this internship. ”

Yu Wei looked at this strict and upright professor, bowed slightly, and said gratefully: "Thank you very much for the opportunity, Mia will definitely live up to your expectations." She returned to her seat and celebrated with Christina in an ecstatic hug. I didn't know that Xu Pingjun was holding his cheeks and lowering his eyes behind him, and secretly wondered that Tajiri Guang also ignored the martial law in Munich last night, insisted on leaving the school alone and did not return all night, and committed strange deeds.

"Then, in order to catch the train to eight o'clock tomorrow morning, everyone should now go back to the dormitory and prepare carefully." Looking down at the ecstatic students who got the recommendation form under the podium, Professor Conrad patted the palms of his hands gently, "This is the end of today's class!" ”

Suddenly, in the huge classroom, almost all the students laughed wildly and threw their textbooks into the air, whistled loudly, raised their arms and shouted "Yay! Hooray".

Only Xu Pingjun glanced at Yuwei's back, remembering the resentful eyes when Tian Jiri Guang also looked at her when the exam papers were distributed yesterday afternoon, only to feel that there was no joy, but his heartbeat was suddenly intense, and a sense of uneasiness arose.

"It's strange that I have never heard of a Japanese relative living in Munich, where did he go?" Xu Pingjun frowned and bit her lip, letting the cheers in the classroom drown out her muttering.

Exegesis:

[39] "仵作": Since the Tang Dynasty, the name of forensic doctors (Li Shangyin's "Miscellaneous Evil Deeds": "Summer Moon Works"). In the old days, children were not allowed to take the imperial examinations and were not allowed to dissect corpses. The most famous work is none other than Song Ci of the Southern Song Dynasty, who wrote "Records of Clearing Grievances".
