Chapter 247: Tell the Truth
It has been three days since Old Man Li arrived in the capital, Su Qiqi still hasn't woken up, and Old Man Li is very busy every day, either busy treating Su Qiqi or busy asking Fan Tong to grab medicine.
Zhang Ru woke up at ten o'clock in the evening of the next day, and after learning that Old Man Li had come to the capital, a glimmer of hope finally rose in his heart, and the whole person became relatively normal.
From his eyes, you can still see anxiety and uneasiness from time to time.
He didn't dare to ask Old Man Li if Su Qiqi was saved or not, and the answer he was afraid of getting was no.
On this day, the pale-faced old man Li staggered out of the room, and then waved his hand to signal Shen Honglian to go in and clean up, and after a few steps, the old man stumbled and sat on the ground.
Fan Tong hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, and without much effort, he helped Old Man Li up and put him on the recliner.
"Boy, the old man did his best." Old man Li glanced at Zhang Ru, who was standing on the side and was a little helpless, tiredly.
Zhang Ru's body trembled, and he took a few steps back, his face full of disbelief.
It can be said that Old Man Li is his only hope, and now Old Man Li says such a thing, which is tantamount to his only hope being dashed.
Old man Li took a deep breath and said, "Can you kid have a little bit of talent, it took so much effort to pull her back from the Hades Palace, although she will live for two or three years at most, it is also very rare." You have this kung fu sad, you might as well think about how to accompany her when she wakes up. ”
Zhang Ru, who was stumbling, didn't know where he got the strength, and rushed to Old Man Li's side with an arrow: "What you said is true?" ”
Old man Li said helplessly: "What benefits can I get from deceiving you?" This time, you kid has to compensate me, but the old man wasted the dragon tobacco that he finally dug up from Longshan in central Hunan to bring back the life of that little girl. ”
Zhang Ru's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "No problem, no problem, what kind of dragon and grass do you want, the kid will immediately let people go to Xiangzhong to dig it all up for you." ”
Old man Li said angrily: "Fart, if you can dig it all back, the old man still needs to explain something to you solemnly." If you want to send someone to Xiangzhong, you can do it, but you can't be rude to the little monk on the top of Longshan Mountain. He will give if he is willing to give, and if he is not willing to give it, you can't use force. Anyway, whether you ask for it or not, I want to see three dragon tobaccos. This thing is expensive, only the best Hetian jade carved jade bottle can be preserved, don't waste materials for the old. ”
Zhang Ru said to Fan Tong as he ran towards the room: "Fan Tong, listen carefully, and immediately arrange for someone to go to Xiangzhong." ”
Fan Tong nodded: "Hey, hey!" ”
Old man Li watched Zhang Ru go away, and said to himself helplessly: "This kid is really not worry-free. ”
On that day, Su Qiqi didn't wake up, but his face was much rudder.
The next day, Su Qiqi still didn't wake up, but when Zhang Ru called her, her eyelids moved.
Old man Li, who had already rested, told Zhang Ru that Su Qiqi would wake up soon, but his body would be very weak after waking up. In the rest of her time, she can't tolerate a little illness, otherwise, even an ordinary wind chill will kill Su Qiqi.
After repeated admonitions, Old Man Li said goodbye and left.
The great benefactor wanted to leave, but of course Zhang Ru refused, so he pulled Old Man Li alive and let him live in the capital for a long time. On the one hand, he was worried that Su Qiqi's condition would change, and on the other hand, he was sincerely grateful to this old man.
Old man Li shook off Zhang Ru's arm angrily: "You kid can't treat the old man as the medical officer of your Dingbian Mansion!" The old man's medical skills are not for you dignitaries, but what the old man wants to save is the people of the world and the people. ”
Zhang Ru said with a boldness on his face: "Elder Li, although my status is a little higher than others, and my food and clothing are a little better than others, I am also a member of the people of Limin!" ”
Old man Li said angrily: "Don't gag the old man, as long as the little girl doesn't get sick, it's fine." If he is really sick, even the old man will not help in the capital. While she is still alive, accompany her well, her time is not long. If it weren't for the fact that your kid still respects the old man, and your two subordinates saved the old man's life, you just put a knife on the old man's neck, and the old man would not have come to the capital. ”
Zhang Ru sneered: "Old Li is kind-hearted, and the kid is grateful. You have a life-saving grace for Humble Jing, and no matter what, you have to let the kid talk about it. ”
Old man Li pointed to the outside of the Hou Mansion and said, "I really want to repay the old man?" Okay, now in Jingcha, let your people take a good look at how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials are looting the people's fat and people's ointment. For those who are innocent, use your authority to let them go as much as you can, and don't hurt the innocent. When there is any natural disaster, remember to get more porridge shacks. You know what to do, as long as you are alone, you will repay the old man a favor. ”
Zhang Ru was puzzled: "Why should Li Lao insist on leaving, the capital is more prosperous than your hometown, and it is suitable for retirement." ”
Old man Li stubbornly waved his hand and said: "I have an old bone, it's time to go home and take a look, I don't know when the old man will die outside." Falling leaves return to the roots, this is a truth that all beggars understand, and there is no reason why the old man does not understand. You don't understand the feeling of being a guest in a foreign country, the old man doesn't understand it, and the old man doesn't want to understand it. ”
There is no way, Old Man Li has made up his mind, and Zhang Ru is not good at forcing him to stay, so he can only say helplessly: "Since Old Li insists on leaving, let his sons and daughters protect him!" ”
Old man Li tilted his head and thought for a while, "Okay, let those two boys follow!" ”
Zhang Ruxi said: "Hey, okay." ”
After four or five days of busy work, the life-saving benefactor who lost more than a dozen pounds just refused to ask for anything and left, Zhang Ru was full of emotion in his heart. In this life, I don't know if I can see this cute and stubborn old man.
Not long after Old Man Li left, Su Qiqi woke up, she looked at the top of the mosquito net with her eyes blank, and her thoughts no longer knew where to go.
The senior brother who grew up with her since she was a child and took good care of herself, would hate herself because of love, which she never expected.
Lying in bed these days, she couldn't move, but her mind was very clear.
There has never been a moment when the man named Zhang Ru gave her such an inseparable feeling. The dignified nine-sided governor, the dignified Jinyi Guard's commander, and the dignified Ming Dingbian Marquis, would not think about tea and food for a woman like her.
She wanted to open her eyes and say to him: "You let go, I'm dead, and I don't want to see you sad for thinking I'm dead." ”
It's a pity that she can't say anything, she can't do anything, and she can't even wipe the tears from his cheeks for him.
The sound of footsteps sounded in his ears, and Su Qiqi subconsciously closed his eyes.
"Fan Tong, let people go to Xiangzhong to find out what kind of dragon tobacco, don't be rude to the little monk, buy it with silver, if you can't buy it, ask for it, anyway, you have to send three dragon tobaccos to Li Lao. Li Lao's body is not so tough anymore, so let the people over there pay more attention. Zhang Ru's voice came into Su Qiqi's ears very clearly.
Fan Tong responded: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will handle it." ”
Zhang Ru said again: "Send someone to find Xie Lun and ask him to prepare some silver, and wherever there is a disaster, the silver will be transported to wherever it is." No matter what others think, try not to let too many people die under natural disasters. ”
Fan Tong nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, these are handed over to my subordinates." ”
Zhang Ru snorted: "I'll leave it to you, I'll rest assured." In the future, the burden on your body will be much heavier, and most of the affairs on the side of Beizhen Fusi will be handed over to Mu Bin, and you will continue to keep it. You also heard Elder Li's words, I don't know how many days there are, and I only survived for two or three years. I didn't know how to cherish her before, I always thought that she was my person and I could do my thing. In the future, you have to take care of things, and don't bother me if there is nothing important. I want to spend the last days of her life with her. ”
Fan Tong said in a muffled voice: "En." ”
Su Qiqi felt Zhang Ru sitting on the edge of the bed, and then, a pair of warm big hands covered her weak but cold little hands.
Su Qiqi's body trembled, and he couldn't help but open his eyes.
She couldn't let Zhang Ru know that she had heard everything, and she believed that Zhang Ru would never want her to know this.
"Daughter-in-law, when you wake up, let's leave this bustling capital and go to Xishan to find a place to live in seclusion. In the future, I will be by your side, no matter what becomes of you, no matter how much time you have. Zhang Ru put Su Qiqi's hand on his face and choked up.
After chattering for a long time, Su Qiqi couldn't bear it anymore, pretending to have just woken up, opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Ru with a confused face: "I'm so tired, what's wrong with me?" ”
Zhang Ru immediately put back the tears that had reached his eyes, and squeezed out an ugly smile: "It's nothing, it's just a sleep." ”
Su Qiqi smiled: "It's good to wake up and see you." ”
Zhang Ru kissed her hand lightly and said with a smile: "Little fool, I have always been by your side and never left." ”
Su Qiqiqiao's face was slightly red: "I'm hungry and want to eat." ”
Zhang Ru nodded again and again: "En, okay, I'll call someone to get it right away." ”
With that, he stood up and walked quickly outside, and said loudly, "Hurry up and get some liquid food for Madame, Ma Yu." ”
After finishing speaking, the smile on Zhang Ru's face, which appeared in front of the hospital bed again, became normal, and sure enough, as Su Qiqi expected, Zhang Ru had no intention of telling the truth about his illness.
In fact, Zhang Ru's idea is very simple, since his beloved time is short, the only thing he can do is to let Su Qiqi live happily every day in this last time.
He would rather force himself to laugh, to endure all this pain himself, to cry silently in the corner alone, because he is a man.
Su Qiqi didn't say anything, and quietly looked at Zhang Ru, who was only in his twenties, and his sideburns were dyed with hoarfrost, his eyes were obsessed.
This man is really a man worthy of her life.
