Chapter 162: The Wheels of History Roll
The winter of Kangxi's fifty-second year was colder than usual, even in Guangzhou, the jacket had to be changed to thick, and in the early morning, it was necessary to put on a thin jacket.
In the west of Jiufu on the west of Xiguan, there was a barren slope with a radius of 100 zhang and a height of 10 zhang, but since the Yingci Temple in the north was built, the flow of people came and went increased suddenly, and the barren slope was also bought by unknown people, and a large number of dwellings were built under the slope. The hillside is turned into a green place, and a pavilion is built on the top of the slope for people to perch and watch. Looking west from this pavilion, you can see the Pearl River at a glance, and in the far southwest, you can also see the Qingpu Wharf that changes day by day.
In the early morning, the slope was crowded with people. The employees of the Ying Tzu Chi Home who live here have started to work, and the families of the patients have to visit their relatives in the hospital. Small businesses such as soybean milk fritters and porridge shops also opened early, earning copper plates from these people.
As if the time had been calculated, at a certain moment, the noise suddenly subsided, and everyone whispered softly, for fear of disturbing anyone, and the people who were originally crowded between the alleys also flashed to the side and made way of a passage.
A moment later, a greeting rang out from one end of the alleyway and spread to the other.
"Dean Pan!"
"Aunt Pan!"
A tall figure walked in the alleyway, her face was still hidden in the thin veil, she nodded faintly, but no one felt that she was left out, but her face was glowing because of this slight bow. Behind her, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in a Yao suit, carrying a straight knife and stepping on the boots that had become fashionable in Guangzhou, looked around vigilantly.
"If you look closely, it's just a little woman, how can she be the dean. Still called aunt? ”
A foreigner at the porridge shop asked puzzled.
"Aunt Pan is young, but this Yingci Yuan is in her hands. Although it has only been open for three or four months, there are already countless living people, and no one thinks she is a little girl. ”
The porridge shop owner replied.
"Isn't it just a medical shop with bruises and bone injuries, how can it be called countless living people? I came here this time because I heard that the medicine here is good, and I want to buy some to take back to Fujian. ”
The outsider was puzzled.
"You also know that the medicine is good, and that's not enough? But Yingci Hospital is not only treating bruises, but also helping the government to prevent and control the epidemic in Xiguan, and recently opened a stable nursery to take care of midbirths, which is not enough to live countless people? ”
Another diner chimed in.
"You haven't entered the Ying Tzu Monastery yet, have you? Tsk, that's not a pharmacy, there are four or five three-story buildings! It's still being repaired non-stop. Once you're at the gate, look at the markings on the door, but don't listen to the wanderers wandering around the door. People like you are exactly what they are looking for. ”
Another diner kindly reminded the out-of-towners.
"The Ying Tzu Yuan is not only an industry here, the leprosy hall in the north and the disabled hall in the east are also opened by Aunt Pan. Look at her young age, not only ...... is wealthy, kind-hearted, and has wonderful medical skills, I don't know what kind of character is worthy of marrying her. ”
The owner of the porridge shop secretly glanced at his daughter-in-law, who was busy with the soy milk shop on the side, and muttered in a low voice.
"Originally, I heard that there was a Li Beijiang in Guangdong, but now in Guangzhou, there is an aunt in Pan, there are countless strange people."
The outsiders sighed with emotion, turned their heads to look into the distance, the tall figure was heading towards the pavilion on the top of the slope, the pavilion was empty, thinking that the people around knew that this pavilion would welcome distinguished guests at this moment.
"Sister, if he doesn't come, Peng Xianzhong will definitely say something, what's the use of you coming here every day to visit?"
followed Pan Jinling into the pavilion, and looked at her as usual, staring blankly at the river, Pan Shiyu muttered boredly. He is now in charge of the security of the Mercy House, and more importantly, of course, the protection of his sister.
"I was just distracted, but I didn't look at anything."
Pan Jinling muttered, Pan Shiyu pouted, who believes this...... The last time he came, you didn't sleep well all night, and the next day everyone saw the dark circles on your face.
"I just...... Waiting, waiting. ”
Pan Jinling said to herself in her heart, in the past six months, she has been busy all night, but her heart is still empty, and only occasionally when he comes does she feel real. And when he is away, she can only dispel her emotions in this way, so as not to let herself be wrapped in melancholy.
"Let's go back, I have to get medicine for Governor Li today."
After watching quietly for a while, Pan Jinling said. In the distance, the shadow of the boat on the river is longing, and you can vaguely see a lot of big sails painted with the double slurry of the Beijiang boat line to pound the river logo, but Pan Jinling is clear, his boat is painted with the logo of Qingtian Company, and the double ring concentric circle is wrapped in tic-tac-toe.
The sister and brother went down the hill and were walking back from the alleyway of the house, but Pan Jinling's steps were stopped by two figures on the side of the road. A young man and a girl, like a brother and sister, were in ragged clothes and dirty faces, and they were spinning around by the porridge shop.
"Go to ......"
The owner of the porridge shop drove people, but his movements were extremely exaggerated, and his arms waved like the wings of a duck fluttering in water.
"Boss Chen, why are you doing this?"
Pan Jinling lifted the veil and said with a slight frown.
"Oh, Aunt Pan, don't you know, these brothers and sisters are really annoying. Yesterday I gave them porridge, but when they finished eating, they spit in my porridge pot again......"
The porridge shop owner hurriedly explained.
"But after all, it's a child, and there's no need to do it."
When Pan Jinling saw his action, he thought he was going to beat someone.
"They are...... It's deaf and dumb, and I can't hear them. ”
The boss was talking, and in a trance, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy picked up a stone on the ground, looked at it accurately, and smashed it into the porridge pot with a pop, which made the boss scream.
Seeing that the boy and the girl who was one or two years younger than him were clapping their hands and jumping, grinning and laughing, Pan Jinling's heart suddenly ached.
"Are you being looked down upon by too many people? There are a lot of people like you, so come, come with your sister, and ...... then."
Pan Jinling squatted down and stretched out his hand towards the two of them.
"You will study and work like ordinary people, and you will no longer be bullied."
Naturally, the teenager and girl couldn't listen to what she was saying, but her movements caught their attention. The young man picked up another stone and slammed it on Pan Jinling's shoulder, causing her to gasp, but she forced down her cry of pain.
"How daring!"
Pan Shiyu's eyes were round, and he was about to rush over subconsciously, but was stopped by Pan Jinling's cold drink.
"As long as I'm not dead, leave me alone!"
Syllable...... Another pebble was thrown out of the girl's hand and thrown on Panjinling's forehead.
"Sister!"
Pan Shiyu almost jumped up, but he didn't dare to disobey her words.
"Have you forgotten? You and Yinling at the beginning, wasn't that the case? Even when I was looking at other people's eyes, I was thinking about letting God kill them! ”
Pan Jinling smiled slightly, and continued to stretch her arms towards the girl, and then threw two more stones and smashed them on her neck and cheeks, and the pain suddenly pulled tears out of her eyes, but her smile remained unchanged.
"You don't deserve to be disliked, you ...... You shouldn't have so much hatred, come on, sister teach you, how to ......"
Pan Jinling's words were interrupted by the girl's spit, and seeing this beautiful sister with her masterpiece on her face, the girl slapped again and laughed silently.
"How to love yourself and then ...... Love others. ”
Pan Jinling's eyes were staring at the two of them tightly, her bright eyes were much brighter than the winter sun, and the ice seemed to melt under this gaze. The boy subconsciously turned his head, but the girl was not satisfied with her victory, picked up a fist-sized stone, and rushed up.
"Sister......
Panshi Yu's teeth clucked, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, but Panjin Ling said three words: "Don't move!" ”
Bang...... The stone hit Pan Jinling's forehead, and her body shook for a moment, seeing that she was about to fall, but she forced herself to steady.
"You don't really want to hurt me, you just have too much hatred, my sister understands."
In the vision blurred by tears, Pan Jinling vaguely saw himself who was thrown a stone when he was a child, who didn't even look at his relatives when his parents died, and guarded the coffin alone, and even more with a group of sick people who became a tool for harming others in order to live.
But since I met him, everything has changed. The cold blade that was originally contained in those deep eyes has now turned into a warm warmth, and just thinking of him, I feel like I am in heaven. He was sent from heaven to save her, and what she could do was to learn from him and save more people who were suffering like her at the beginning.
"Come, come to me, and find your heart......"
Pan Jinling smiled with tears, her bright pupils flickering in her tears, as if tearing the heavy shell that wrapped the girl's heart, and the girl took a step back in cringe, but stopped. Stretched out his hand and touched Pan Jinling's forehead, as if he wanted to wipe away the blood that was slowly dripping, and his hand was gently held by Pan Jinling.
The warmth came from the skin into the body, spreading little by little, the girl opened her mouth and screamed, and she didn't know what she wanted to say, Pan Jinling didn't care about her dirt, and hugged her into her arms, sighing low with pity and satisfaction.
Pan Shiyu anxiously waited for Pan Jinling to speak, so that she could be given medicine for the injury, but saw the young man on the side tilting his head, as if he couldn't understand what he was seeing, and as if he was worried about what happened to his sister. Seeing him glaring at him, his arm was raised again.
This time, Shi Yu was not polite, he rushed over in two steps, and picked up the young man. At this time, Pan Jinling also got up and said to Pan Shiyu: "Take him, be careful, don't hurt him." ”
Pan Jinling led the girl, Pan Shiyu pulled the young man who was still struggling, and walked towards Yingci Hall in the sigh of the surrounding people.
"I feel like I'm like her, and he's holding me......"
Looking at the girl who was stunned, Pan Jinling couldn't wait to rush back to Yingde at this moment, he had said that he should stay in Guangzhou for a long time at this time, why did he break his promise? Are you busy with something really big?
In the hinterland of Cockscomb Mountain in the west of Li Zhuangxi, Yingde, a group of people covered in oil hugged each other with tearful eyes, and in the crowd, Li Shi lifted an object with a slightly trembling hand and smiled proudly.
"The wheels of history are buzzing and turning non-stop."
He flicked his hand, and the strange thing in his hand that shimmered with steel and was made up of two circles whimpering on the outside.
