Chapter 45: The Story of Listening to the Lotus

"You get up, I promise you, your brother can stay here as long as he wants, no one can drive him away, but you tell me what happened, why is Yiyang like this?"

Sun Zhiheng wiped a handful of tears and told Tinghe what happened during this time, Tinghe was also anxious, and asked Sun Zhiheng to help move Chen Xuan to the bed in the house, this is also the first time Chen Xuan entered Tinghe's boudoir, but Chen Xuan seems to have lost all feelings, his eyes are still blank, and he doesn't know what he is looking at?

No matter how he shouted, how he begged, and tried everything he could, Chen Xuan still didn't react at all, and he was tired from listening to He, so he sat on the edge of the bed and talked to Chen Xuan.

"Yiyang, you must not speak, do you, your brother said that you don't have any friends, and so do I, do you know how surprised I was when I saw you for the first time, although you try to pretend that you are very polite, but I have never seen someone as rude as you, drunk and uninvited, but it scared me a lot!"

"But when you play the piano and sing, I am even more surprised, I learned to play the piano with Father Reagan when I was a child, your piano skills are really clumsy and poor, but the sound you play is very good, really, I have never heard such a beautiful piece again, so I am both scared and a little curious about you."

"The next day you ran away like a thief, thinking that no one knew, but I didn't know that I was watching you upstairs, your sneaky look was really funny, I couldn't help laughing, this is what I have laughed so happily and so unreservedly in the past few years."

Listening to the lotus sighed slightly.

"I guessed at that time, you must have no money, yes, you must have no money to think of running away, but you don't know that I don't collect everyone's money here, Uncle Ma often comes to me, I can guess what the reason is, alas!"

"I didn't expect you to come again in a few days, as well as Uncle Ma and Uncle Yan, I feel very funny when I see you arguing with others, you obviously can't quarrel with others and play Laipi, I want to help you at that time, seriously, don't be angry, you were embarrassed that day."

Tinghe seemed to be caught up in his own memories, and a smile overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

"The next few times, you ran to me when you were drunk, vomiting all over the house and smelling, I felt a little angry and a little funny, who would run to someone else's house when drunk, Yiyang, at that time I felt that you were really a strange person, but slowly, I seem to be used to your strangeness, don't laugh at me, I sometimes look forward to you coming over."

"The next time, you came to me, I thought to myself, thank God, you finally came to me again and you weren't drunk, who would have thought that you were worse than drunk, and you fell asleep with me in broad daylight, and I, and I even fell asleep with you inexplicably, I was really ashamed, but Yiyang, let me tell you a secret, that day was the best sleep I had in recent years, I didn't think about anything, I just slept peacefully."

"When you say, if I don't mind that we can be friends, you don't know how happy I am, how can I mind, maybe in my heart, I have long regarded you as my friend, otherwise you think you can come in, know the middle-aged man downstairs, he is my wet nurse's husband, his kung fu is amazing, don't talk about you, you can't beat him for ten, hum!"

"Yiyang, since we are friends, you can't listen to me alone, you don't say it yourself, right, don't you always like to pretend that you are very personable, personable people are not like this, no matter how you say it, I can be regarded as a girl who can be seen by me, you just throw me aside, won't you be embarrassed?"

"Speak, Yiyang, why do you still ignore me after I've said so much? Aren't we friends? Your brother said that you have few friends, but I am just one friend of yours, and if you don't speak, who else can I talk to? Even if you hit me and scold me, can you give me a little reaction Yiyang, I beg you. ”

Chen Xuan still didn't have the slightest reaction, listening to the lotus from silent tears, to quiet sobbing, and then crying loudly, crying so heartbreakingly, as if all the grievances he had suffered burst out at this time, Sun Zhiheng hurriedly rushed into the house, probed Chen Xuan's breathing, and then walked back with a sigh of relief.

"You must not like me to cry, yes, it must be like this, men don't like women to cry, my father is like this, my little mother was slapped out by my father when she cried, but you can't hit me, Yiyang, if you beat me, I will be very sad, you will not be right, I know you are such a person!"

"For the sake of you not beating me, I'll tell you another secret, this secret I have never told anyone else, and you must not tell anyone else."

"Actually, I don't call Tinghe, my name is Youwei, I don't have the face to mention my surname, remember, you will call me Youwei in the future, don't call me Tinghe, I have a family, at least there used to be, at that time my father loved me the most, my father will give me whatever I want, and I often bully my brother, so my brother said I was a little witch, and I would hide when I saw it, but how could I hide with his intelligence, who am I, what about the little witch, so whoever hides from me will double the bullying of whom, hehe!"

"Daddy didn't have time to teach us, so he invited a few Confucians to teach us knowledge, and it took my brother several times to remember the article that Mr. taught us, but I remembered it once, I'm very good, right, hmph, although you don't speak, but I know that you recognize it in your heart."

"Later, Mr. taught us more and more things, and my brothers' knowledge was far away from me, once I heard a few gentlemen say, it's a pity that I am a woman, at that time I was very unconvinced, what happened to the woman, I haven't seen a man who learns faster than me and is better than me, am I worse than a man? At that time, I decided that I wanted to learn some good skills and show those who looked down on us women that we were no worse than men! ”

"Later, I participated in a few literary meetings held by my brother, and my fame became more and more famous, and my father sent me to the church school under my begging, and asked me to learn Western knowledge, but what kind of knowledge are Westerners, their so-called great philosophies Our ancestors have already said I don't know how many times, and I am embarrassed to show it in front of us, after I learned English, I finished reading those books of the church in less than a year, compared to our Chinese culture, it is really shallow."

"Pastor Mary of our church liked me very much, so he recommended me to Tianjin Mission Hospital to study medicine, my father did not agree at first, but I agreed under my pleading, and it was at that time that I learned that my family had set me up when I was a child, and I heard that the family was very powerful, and my father also asked me to leave the hospital at the age of eighteen and marry him, I think it is also, if the marriage is completed, which girl will not get married, you are right Yiyang."

"The days in the hospital were my happiest days, I learned very quickly, the teachers liked me very much, and even I had several surgeries with the help of the teachers, Yiyang, I was only sixteen years old at that time, isn't it very powerful, you don't know how happy I am to see the patients recover and be discharged!"

Listen to the lotus, no! Youwei seemed to have returned to those days, and the smugness on her face couldn't be hidden.

"Then one day, a patient came to the hospital, a little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, her whole body was bruised and purple, and she was covered with traces of fire burns, and her bones were broken several times, and she was no longer human."

Youwei seemed to recall that terrible scene, and the whole person trembled slightly, and she didn't notice that Chen Xuan's hand trembled, and after a while, Youwei spoke.

"As Teacher Maria's assistant, although I was very scared, I still had to cooperate with Teacher Mary to treat the patient, and although we tried our best, we still couldn't save the little girl, and Teacher Maria and I cried and felt sorry for this poor little girl."

"When we walked out of the operating room, I saw him, it was my fiancé, I couldn't be wrong with his photos, and my future mother-in-law was there, which couldn't be wrong, even in the hospital, he was still smoking a lot there, and I was wearing a mask, so they didn't recognize me, and then I realized that the little girl who was twelve or thirteen years old with scars was his concubine, and the injuries on that body were all caused by him."

From Youwei's trembling voice, it could be heard that she was trying her best to hold back the fear in her heart, Chen Xuan's hand lifted up, and she fell weakly.

"I thought that I would live with such a person in the future, I was so scared, Yiyang, I was really scared, so I ran, I ran out before I had time to change my clothes, Teacher Maria rushed out and didn't catch up with me, I ran like crazy without a purpose, I remember that it rained heavily that day, but I was vague except for this one, I only remember that I seemed to step on the air, and then I didn't know anything."

"When I woke up, it was already two days later, when I saw my teacher Lisa in the hospital, I thought I was back in the hospital, Teacher Lisa comforted me for a while and explained for a long time before I knew that I fell into the sea that day and was rescued by a merchant ship going to Japan, and after the owner of the merchant ship rescued me, it was supposed to send me ashore, but, probably, probably because he saw my good looks, he quietly took me out of Tianjin Port, never thought that I had a high fever all the time, talking nonsense all day long, and the shipowner was afraid that I would die, It just so happened that there was a doctor on the boat, who was Lisa-sensei, so I asked Lisa to treat me. ”
