Chapter 19: I'm Taking the Pulse of Your Heart

Qingzhi carried an oil lamp and walked through the streets and alleys during the day, but found nothing.

The next morning, she went out early in women's clothes again, and went to the place she had visited twice yesterday, but she still found nothing.

When she was sad and desperate, she suddenly remembered that she still had a place she hadn't searched, and that was the small courtyard in the northwest corner of Lu Shikang's courtyard.

That's the only place that hasn't been found yet.

She quickly went home, washed her makeup, changed her clothes, and didn't bother to eat breakfast, so she hurried to Lu Mansion non-stop.

Although he was extremely reluctant to go there when he thought of it, he thought that he might be able to stay there if he went to find it now, and when he let himself go when Lu Shikang was sick in a few days, he was afraid that he would never be able to find it again because someone had cleaned that room.

Besides, who knows if he has a real headache these days, if he has a real headache, he has already told him that he doesn't have to take any more medicine after taking those medicines. If he gets sick next time, he doesn't know when.

Therefore, I can only use the excuse of visiting his condition now to seize the opportunity to find him.

When she came to the east wall of Lufu, she remembered that she didn't know where to get in.

It was usually Lu Shikang who sent someone to call her, so every time she came, the ladder was ready.

Right now, it's empty.

She never imagined that one day she would want a ladder standing here.

Usually, every time she saw the ladder standing by the wall, she felt that it was a little ridiculous, as if it represented Lu Shikang's absurd life.

There was no other way but to knock on the wall. She hoped that some of the little guys in there would hear her tapping.

After a few knocks, there was no reaction from there. So she knocked a few more times, and was about to leave when she heard someone shouting, "Who?" ”

She heard that it was Wu Shan's voice, so she whispered back: "I, Dr. Kong." ”

"Dr. Kong? Do you have something to do with knocking on the wall of our house? Wu Shan was pouring a few jasmine plants on the shelf next to the wall just now, and when he heard a sound from the wall, he thought he had heard it wrong. But then I heard a knock again, and I responded.

"I'm coming to see if your son Lu has a headache?"

"Wait a minute, I'll help you put the ladder right away. But you have to stand farther first, I'll have to throw the ladder over first. ”

Aoeda stood far away when he heard this, and soon a ladder was thrown over.

Fortunately, this alley is not patronized on weekdays, and there are not many people on this street in front of Lufumen, if there are people coming and going, she can imagine how embarrassing it is.

She pulled the ladder to the wall, leaned against it, and began to climb the ladder.

When she got there, she found that Wu Shan had already placed the ladder inside for her along the wall.

After she came down from the ladder, Wu Shan asked, "Doctor Kong, why did you only leave yesterday and come today?" ”

Qingzhi said: "Your third son's headache has not been improved, I am really worried, I am so worried that I don't think about it, this morning I decided to take a look at his pulse anyway, to see if he really hurt his brain." ”

Wu Shanxin thought it was true: "I didn't expect Dr. Kong to care so much about my third son, Dr. Kong is really good-hearted." Speaking of this, he remembered the daze of his third son-in-law when he was holding Dr. Kong that night, and said in his heart, Dr. Kong cares so much about his third son, the two of them really have nothing to do?

While the two were talking, Qingzhi had already been led by Wu Shan to Lu Shikang's room.

When I walked inside, I saw Lu Shikang sitting on the couch, and there were still green jade wine glasses, a wine jug, and a few ornaments on the low table. There was Zhou Da standing there to pour him wine.

"Third son, Dr. Kong made a special trip to see you today." Wushan Road.

"Dr. Kong? How did he get here? Aoeda saw him as he spoke, and put one of the ornaments on the low table into his own arms.

But since she hadn't approached yet, I didn't know what he had put in his arms, and it looked faintly bronze-colored, and about the same size as the one he had picked up in the woods.

But there were so many things made of bronze, and so many similar shapes and sizes, that she did not dare to assume that the bronze plaque he had put in his bosom was the bronze plaque she had picked up in the woods.

I saw that he put away the other ornaments again, put them in the wooden box on the low table, and said to Qingzhi: "Doctor Kong specially came to see Lu, Lu is really grateful, but didn't Dr. Kong say that my headache is probably caused by worry, so after taking the medicine you gave before, I don't have to see a doctor and take medicine?" ”

"Lu Gongzi, after going back next time, I thought about it carefully, maybe Lu Gongzi's headache was not caused by being beaten that day, maybe it was because of another reason."

"Then Dr. Kong thinks, what other reasons could it be?"

"It may be that Lu Gongzi slept too late and was tired after being beaten that day. And the disease of exhaustion, you need to wait for Lu Gongzi to sleep, and I will help you take your pulse when you are asleep, so that you can make this conclusion. ”

"Why do you have to wait until you fall asleep to take your pulse?"

"Because people's pulses are a little weak when they are tired, they are somewhat similar to those when they are sleeping, so they need to wait for Lu Gongzi to sleep, and then they can help Lu Gongzi take his pulse."

Lu Shikang said: "So what Dr. Kong means is that if Lu doesn't fall asleep, then Dr. Kong won't help Lu take the pulse?" ”

"Yes."

The words he said to him now were all thought of by Qingzhi on the way here, and the purpose was to wait for Lu Shikang to fall asleep and the other little guys were not by his side, so that he could go to the utility room to find the bronze medal.

Now it seems that it is not only the utility room that is to be found, but also the arms of him. After all, what he had put in his arms when she came in was too similar to the bronze plaque.

But wherever you look for it, wait until he falls asleep.

"It's just that Lu doesn't feel sleepy now."

"It's okay, I'll wait here."

"Then there's Dr. Laucon." As he spoke, he picked up the wine that Zhou Da had poured for him and drank it. "Would you like Dr. Kong to have a few drinks together?"

"No, if you get drunk again, you won't be able to help Lu Gongzi take the pulse."

Wu Shan saw that Dr. Kong was going to wait here for Lu Shikang to fall asleep before taking his pulse, so he said: "Zhou Da, let's leave first, let's be here, how can the third son sleep?" ”

Zhou Da thought to himself, so he left with Wu Shan.

After Wu Shan and Zhou Da left, the atmosphere in the room condensed a little in an instant.

It was the first time that Aoeda had been alone in a room with a young man, and a feeling of discomfort spread all over her body in an instant. She wanted to get out of here, but she knew she had to stay.

"Doctor Kong, if I fall asleep, how can I believe that Doctor Kong will not perform the Dragon Yang Gift to me while I am asleep?"

"You ......, there is no Longyang in the future, Lu Gongzi, please rest assured." Qingzhi replied indifferently.

"In this way, Lu can sleep peacefully."

As he spoke, he put the green jade wine glass in his hand on the low table, closed his eyes and recuperated.

"It may take a certain hour for Lu Gongzi to fall asleep, so wait outside first." Aoeda said and walked out of the house.

When she came to the courtyard, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking around the courtyard, there was no one, only heard the voice of talking in the east wing, it sounded like they were arguing about where the chess pieces should go, she listened carefully, and the four little guys around Lu Shikang were there.

The room they were in was on the east side, and the small utility room where they were locked was in the northwest corner of the courtyard.

She stood in the courtyard for a long time before quietly walking towards the utility room as if she was just wandering.

The door to the utility room was open, and the jars had been put back on the floor.

She searched several times, but she couldn't find the bronze plaque on the ground, even in the wine jar.

Then she pretended to be calm and returned to Lu Shikang's room.

I saw him lying on the couch with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

From the side, his silhouette is just as perfect.

"Lu Gongzi?" She screamed softly.

He didn't answer.

When she came to him and took his pulse, he didn't respond.

After pretending to be in charge for a long time, she decided to make a move that made her almost impossible to start.

That is, to put her hand into his bosom to see what he had just put in his bosom.

But how easy is it to do such an action? She hesitated for a long time before she quietly reached out and put her hand into his arms.

There seemed to be something thin and stiffly tied, about the size of a bronze medal. When she was about to take it out, she heard Lu Shikang's voice on the side:

"Dr. Kong?"

The sound made her hand stop suddenly, and the stiff binding thing immediately slipped out of her hand.

Somewhere in my heart, I beat wildly several times because of this sudden sound.

She looked at Lu Shikang and saw that he was looking at her.

His expression was utterly shocked, as if he couldn't believe what she was doing to him.

"I ...... I'm ...... for your heart Pulse. She said in fits and starts.
