The ancients loved to listen to operas, after all, they couldn't do much else besides listening to operas, especially women.

It is very difficult to hear the drama in the countryside, and the nearest opera garden is also in the town, so you have to make a lot of copper plates to get in, and the countryside can't afford to listen to it.

Although the old lady couldn't sing, she could speak, and she spoke in detail.

"Where did you listen to the play?" Gu Jiao leaned over and asked.

"I don't remember." The old lady shook her head and said.

Gu Jiao saw that she didn't look like she was lying, and said, "Then do you remember anything else?" ”

The old lady thought about it seriously: "It's gone." ”

Gu Jiao: "......"

Gu Jiao said again: "Then can you stop fooling people like this in the future?" ”

The old lady thought seriously again: "No. ”

Gu Jiao: "......"

--

The New Year is approaching, Gu Jiao has become busy, and she can't care about staring at the old lady all the time, the old lady occasionally acts as a demon, but she can hold it by herself, and she doesn't cause trouble to Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang.

After that, Gu Jiao went to the temple again, and the master in charge of the property had not returned, so Gu Jiao decided to come back after the year.

The academy held another exam a year ago, and I don't know if it was affected by the theft, Gu Dashun's performance this time was obviously much weaker, and he suddenly fell to the tenth in the class.

Gu Xiaoshun's results are very stable, and he is still the first from the bottom.

Xiao Liulang rose one place, but this time it was still not because he did well in the exam, but because the original second-to-last and fourth-to-last were sick and took leave, tied for the penultimate with Gu Xiaoshun.

Many masters in the academy knew about Xiao Liulang's eight-strand essay, but he never wrote an essay since then, and the exam was basically blank.

Some people suspect that he is Jiang Lang's talent, and some people suspect that he was originally admitted to the school by fraud, but Dean Li has always firmly believed that Xiao Liulang is talented.

No matter what others said, he didn't want to give up Xiao Liulang.

The imperial examination is held once every three years, and there will be an autumn festival next year, and if you miss it, you will have to wait for the next three years.

And the candidates who participate in the autumn festival must be students, that is, Xiucai.

There was a county exam during the Chinese New Year, and Dean Li hesitated for a moment and reported Xiao Liulang's name without authorization.

Gu Jiao doesn't know all this yet, the academy is on annual vacation, and tomorrow is the day of Xiao Liulang's surgery, she has to ensure sleep and adjust herself to the best state.

In fact, she didn't do too much of this kind of surgery in her previous life, and it stands to reason that she doesn't have to have psychological baggage at all, but operating on a stranger is different from operating on Xiao Liulang.

Such a perfect cub, she can't leave any regrets on him.

Before going to bed, Gu Jiao checked the small medicine box, and sure enough, all the anesthetics and injections needed for the operation had appeared.

These potions are not the ones sold in the pharmacies of the previous life, they are all medicines of the research institute. Gu Jiao seriously doubted that as long as the institute did not go out of business, her medicine box would be able to be replenished forever.

Well, that's a good thing!

Gu Jiaomei slept happily, and after getting up, she made breakfast and boiled the medicine for the old lady.

When Gu Jiao took the medicine to the old lady's house, the old lady looked at the pills on the plate hesitantly, then at the medicinal juice in the bowl, frowned, and said, "Why do I think this decoction is drinkable or not?" ”

"You think too much, decoction is as important as pills." Gu Jiao said without changing her face.

The old lady drank the pills and decoction suspiciously, so bitter that she rolled her eyes, seriously suspecting that Gu Jiao was here to take revenge on her for being a demon on weekdays.

Gu Jiao still entrusted the old lady to Xue Ningxiang, and then went to the hospital with Xiao Liulang in Uncle Luo's ox cart.

Such an important day, Feng Lin will not miss it.

He had been waiting in the hospital early, but now that the weather was getting colder, he didn't want to sit inside and wait, and he was stunned and froze into a Xiaoice stick outside.

Feng Lin saw the little couple on the ox cart at a glance, and his face sank.

He had the urge to scold the dog man and woman, but he pressed it, Brother Xiao was not wrong, it was this woman who was becoming more and more shameless, always sticking to Brother Xiao!

Gu Jiao saw Feng Lin with a calm face: "You didn't go back for the New Year?" ”

Feng Lin snorted: "My home is so far away, how can I go back?" ”

Gu Jiao then remembered that the transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, and the distance that the high-speed rail could reach in one day in the previous life might take a month here, and Feng Lin might not have arrived home yet, and the annual leave had already ended.

Gu Jiao: "Oh. ”

Feng Lin who punched the cotton: "......"

The date was set in advance, and the shopkeeper Wang and the old doctor were waiting in the consultation hall just after dawn.

Feng Lin and Gu Jiao both followed.

The old doctor first asked Xiao Liulang about the situation of medicine smoking at home in the past few days.

"Every night before going to bed, there is a medicinal smoke." Xiao Liulang said truthfully.

Every night when he went home from school, Gu Jiao had already cooked the meals and boiled his medicine.

The old doctor nodded.

Feng Lin said: "Doctor Zhang, is Brother Xiao's leg almost healed?" ”

The old doctor said, "Whether it's good or not, I won't know until after the operation." ”

"What do you say? Surgery? Feng Lin was stunned.

Xiao Liulang's eyes also flashed a trace of astonishment.

Gu Jiao was worried that this situation would occur, so she never told them that surgery in this era was not popular, and everyone's acceptance was not high, and it was generally believed that it would only be used on the battlefield.

Feng Lin was frightened: "Doctor Zhang! You didn't say it before! ”

Of course, the old doctor would not pour out the truth, and said: "Isn't that not allowed the conditions at that time, but now that the medicine has been smoked for a while, the meridians have been opened, and the operation can be done." ”

But this is a big deal after all, if you want to use a knife on a person's body, Feng Lin hesitated: "Is there no other way than surgery?" ”

"Hmm." The old doctor nodded.

"Will it work?" Feng Lin asked again.

"This is not guaranteed." The old doctor replied with a touch of conscience, "If it happens, he will be able to walk normally, and if he fails, he may be worse than he is now." ”

This is also Gu Jiao's original words, even if she is the most powerful doctor in the institute, she does not dare to boast about Haikou and say that there is no risk at all in any operation.

"Brother Xiao......" Feng Lin retreated, he was a conservative and was unwilling to take such a big risk.

Xiao Liulang moved the corners of his lips lightly, and said casually: "Then let's operate, I'm sorry for Dr. Zhang." ”

He agreed so quickly that even Gu Jiao looked at him.

In fact, even after getting along for so long, Gu Jiao had never really understood him, but at that moment just now, she seemed to feel a trace of cold disregard for him.

It's like ...... He didn't mind that the surgery might fail.

Is he really bold, or does he not care about his own life at all?
