Chapter 122: By the Lake
Outside the woods, there is Ring Street.
Because it is located in the western suburbs of the city, there are few cars and horses.
Qingzhi didn't want to go back with Lu Shikang, but then she thought that he had just encountered a human assassination, and from what she had seen before, there were at least five or six of those people, and only two appeared today, perhaps because the others were scattered to other places to look for him. Worried, she walked with him.
Along the way, I happened to encounter some passing carriages, and when I passed by myself and Lu Shikang, if the sedan chair was a young woman, I often cast admiring eyes.
She knew that her adoring gaze would certainly not be on hers.
What's more, when a young woman passed by herself and Lu Shikang, she suddenly ordered the groom to stop the horse at her, and then got off the sedan chair.
It was a fair-skinned woman with a delicate face, and after the woman got off the sedan chair, she walked to her side and said, "Doctor Kong, I just met today, what a coincidence, I have been a little tired of my body these days, help me take the pulse, what is wrong with me?" ”
Qingzhi secretly laughed in her heart, this woman is really good at making excuses, obviously wanting to find a chance to get closer to Lu Shikang, but she still pretends to see a doctor herself.
She checked the woman's pulse, and sure enough, the woman's pulse was extremely normal, and she didn't break it, but just said to the woman: "The girl's body and bones are fine, but she may have other diseases, which can be described as heart disease." This heart disease still needs heart medicine to heal......"
"What is a heart medicine?" The woman was stunned and asked.
"I see that the girl has also reached the age of marriage, and the son next to me has not yet been married, so why don't I be a matchmaker and draw a line for you, how about it?" She said jokingly.
The girl's face suddenly flushed, and she said, "Doctor Kong said that I laughed, I really feel a little uncomfortable in my body." If there are no symptoms, I am relieved. ”
Continuing to walk forward, when he walked a hundred feet away, Lu Shikang pointed to the west and said, "Do you see that lake?" ”
Qingzhi glanced west and said, "What's so strange about this small lake?" ”
This nameless lake in the western suburbs is almost forgotten by Jiangbei people, if this nameless lake is elsewhere, it may still get some attention, Jiangbei City is on the north bank of the Qianjiang River, and the spiritual influence of the Qianjiang River on the Jiangbei people is unparalleled. The people of Jiangbei City prefer to go to the bank of the Qianjiang River for a walk or meet friends in their spare time, and this nameless lake is ignored.
Lu Shikang said: "When I was a child, I often came here alone. ”
"Why are you here alone?" Aoeda was puzzled.
"When I was young, whenever I was depressed after being educated by my father's stick, I would quietly come to this lake alone."
Qingzhi said: "Is there such a use here? ”
"There used to be a couple and their son living near the lake, and the peasant woman was in good health, but the farmer was suffering from a leg problem and had difficulty walking. Every time I came here, the peasant women laughed at me again. This spring, I came here by chance, only to find that they were gone......"
"And where did they go, or?"
"I don't know. Or maybe I went somewhere else, or maybe I ......" he didn't continue.
"Let's take a look." Aoeda said. She wanted to find the farmer and see if she could cure his leg ailment.
Lu Shikang took her to the lake.
The lake is about 20 feet from the ring road, and the shore of the lake can only be reached by a small path through a forest.
When he arrived at the lake, Lu Shikang pointed to a farmhouse on the north shore of the lake and said, "They used to live in that house." ”
Qingzhi looked at the farmhouse and saw that the farmhouse was low and a little dilapidated. All you have to do is see the weeds in the bamboo fence to tell that the house is uninhabited.
"They're definitely not in there," she said. ”
He said, "Hmm...... Perhaps they went elsewhere is unknown. ”
Then he pointed to a spot on the shoreline beside him and said, "That's where I used to sit. Dr. Kong, can you sit with my son for a while? ”
Aoeda asked, "What, do you want to reminisce about what it was like to be here as a child?" ”
He said: "Actually, I want to recall Dr. Kong's childhood here. ”
With that, he pulled her to the shore and sat down.
"When I was younger? How much do you know? "Qingzhi also wants to know something about the original Qingzhi from him.
Feeling that he was sitting a little closer to her, she was a little farther away.
He looked at the lake and said, "When Dr. Kong was young, he gave people the impression that he was extremely unsociable. During the New Year's holidays, I will not participate in the children's play. And then, every time you walk with your father, you always like to hide behind him and secretly watch people. ”
"Did I sneak a peek at you when I was younger?" Qingzhi asked suspiciously.
"Yes."
"When?"
"One day, you and your father came to Lufu to see my grandmother, and I happened to be there."
"So, what about before I fall off my horse?"
"Dr. Kong always secretly looks at people. Why doesn't Dr. Kong remember? ”
"How can I remember so much? I now think that I must have been so afraid of you that I dared to peek at you. You also know that you are a normal woman, and you have to retreat......"
"What does Dr. Kong mean that you are not normal now? Otherwise, why don't you retreat now? ”
"Hmph, who says there's no retreat? When I get back, we won't see each other again unless necessary......"
"What is the necessary moment? What are non-essential moments? ”
"I'm a doctor, and when you're sick, it's a necessary time."
"My son wants to remind Dr. Kong that if we don't see each other, Dr. Kong himself will be sick, and the cause is that he misses his son and becomes ill. If Dr. Kong is sick, how can he still treat people? How can your pharmacy improve? ”
"Who's going to miss you!"
"Doctor surnamed Kong......"
With that, he put his hand on her shoulder and pulled her towards himself.
"You let go." She said as she tried to take his hand off her shoulder.
His hand didn't move, but pulled her closer to him.
The next moment, she felt like she had been embraced by him.
In the next moment, his lips were close to hers.
All of a sudden, her heart was beating a little irrepressibly.
At some point there stood a white bird in the water, and the bird pecked at the surface of the water.
Ripples rippled on the surface of the water, swinging out layer by layer.
She felt like her heart was like the surface of the water, and the ripples could not be calmed no matter what.
