Chapter 050: The past is like a shadow, and the heart is in a cage
"What are you two arguing about?" Zheng Shijie walked into the house slowly like a ghost, and the two ghosts, Zhang Xiang and Zhao Cheng, didn't seem to notice, because of the 'dying speech' a few days ago.
"Hey!" The two ghosts treated him like air, Zheng Shijie shouted hatefully, and the two hurriedly stopped, and in a blink of an eye, they seemed to have released their suspicions, and greeted them with a smile.
Zheng Shijie asked the two of them about their recovery status indifferently, mixed with an old-fashioned and ruthless polite tone, and the two said with a smile: "If it weren't for the exquisite medical skills of the little lady of Qiuying and the rejuvenation of her wonderful hands, I am afraid that the two of us would have returned to the West Heaven~" Zheng Shijie said: "The two of you remember, in the future, you will call Qiuying 'lady', don't bring a 'little' word, understand?" Zheng Shijie didn't seem to want others to call her that, because it made him feel like a flirtat, which he would never allow.
Zhang Xiang and Zhao Cheng nodded frequently, but they really didn't know how to 'serve' this eldest prince, so they simply shut up and said yes. Then, Zheng Shijie looked around the two of them carefully inexplicably, and the two ghosts muttered in a panic, staring at each other with big eyes.
Zheng Shijie has been like evaporating from the world in the past few days, and the school palace is in chaos, but he can't see his shadow. However, he didn't sleep all day, but secretly paid attention to all the movements in the school palace, and these news would be told to him.
Because of Zheng Xun's existence, Zheng Shijie couldn't teach Xiang Lin as arrogantly and domineeringly as before, and he didn't dare to use any vicious and despicable tricks, he even thought about letting Zixiang assassinate him, and he didn't know where such a big blood feud came from, but now these yin tricks are not useful at all, he needs to calculate carefully.
Zheng Shijie beckoned the two of them in front of him again, and muttered, and the two ghosts smiled relaxedly, not as embarrassed as usual, and twisted and pinched at a loss.
At the critical juncture when malaria was rampant, Qiu Ying appeared in the school palace like timely rain to save the students from fire and water. The malaria was brought under control, the students' condition gradually improved, and the school palace returned to normal.
"Ziying? What happened to you? Ziying and Xiang Lin were talking and laughing about malaria, but Ziying was unwell and fainted in his arms with a pale face. Xiang Lin didn't respond to her, and then picked her up and rushed to the hospital.
Qiu Ying was startled when she saw the unconscious Ziying, and then checked it carefully, and was about to reach out to check her pulse, but Xiang Lin hurriedly stopped her with panicked eyes, and stammered: "Lady.. Still.. Or tell the students first. The condition of the foolish brother..."The boy is still a daughter, and you can know by taking the pulse that this is exactly what Xiang Lin is worried about, unless he has to do so.
Qiu Ying was a little surprised, she didn't expect Xiang Lin's reaction to be so strong, she paused and said: "Childe's face is pale, his eyes are red and bloodshot, and his tongue is yellow, which is caused by excessive fatigue and worry. Other than that... Childe seems to have contracted malaria..."Xiang Lin was taken aback when he heard this, his face turned white for a moment, and what he was most worried about still happened.
Since Ziying had diagnosed He Jian, she had guessed that it might be caused by malaria, so she picked rose flowers and herbs to make ointment, whether it was to Lin Ruolan or others approaching He Jian, she had to apply the ointment to her mouth and nose to prevent infection. However, there is no omission, there must be a mistake, she has been in contact with so many students, and the chance of contracting the disease is also the greatest.
Qiu Ying advised him not to panic, and said: "Son, don't be impatient, let my brother's illness be the same as the malaria contracted by the students, and the little girl will prescribe medicine again, so that my brother will be cured." Xiang Lin's mood eased a little, his eyes were full of self-blame, and he was annoyed why he didn't help her share more at that time.
Xiang Lin picked up Ziying and hurried back to the room, calling Ruolan to make a decoction, he sat at the head of the bed and held her hand tightly, worried. At the same time, Sanjiu also returned to the school palace from Wusheng and handed him the handwritten letter from Xu's mother, and after reading the letter, he breathed a sigh of relief to Lin Shen, there were too many bad facts that happened to him.
Xiang Lin hasn't rested much in recent days, and gradually fell asleep leaning on the head of the bed. I don't know how long it took, Ziying woke up, saw Xiang Lin's sleeping face, and clenched hands, and couldn't help but smile, it was a kind of full happiness. She had never taken the initiative to touch his face, but this time, she slowly raised her hand and touched this handsome and melancholy face, with a faint tear in her eyes.
Xiang Lin seemed to have a nightmare, kept chanting her name in his mouth, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he squeezed her hand tightly. Ziying dragged his face to wake him up, Xiang Lin fell into a deep dream, and after a while, he suddenly woke up, his lips were white, his eyes were frightened, and he turned his head to see Ziying who had woken up, and he leaned to her and looked at her in a daze.
"Xiang Lin, you're having a nightmare.." Ziying struggled to get up, and Xiang Lin burst into tears inexplicably, without warning and defenseless. He didn't speak, and slowly helped her lie down, Ziying held his face and hurriedly asked why. Xiang Lin Yan: "It's nothing.. Ziying.. I'm going to fetch water.." She had never seen him so vulnerable, and what strange dreams would have tormented him so much, he didn't tell her.
"My lord, Xu Xianglin and others disregarded their own safety, worked together to carry the disease, saved the students from fire and water, and felt the appearance of heaven and earth, so they should remember the first credit." Chen Tongle said happily, looking very happy. Since Xu Zhao's death, Chen Tong would dream of him every once in a while, and the guilt and guilt made him restless and haggard. In order to get rid of Xu Zhao's shadow, Chen Tong secretly decided that he must help Lin in this big test, so that Xu Zhao's ghost would no longer haunt him, and his heart could be relieved and steady.
"Xu Xianglin is extremely intelligent, and now he has sacrificed his life to save the lives of all students. Very good.." Zheng Xun also gradually appreciated Xiang Lin's talent and conduct, smiled with satisfaction, and then took the record of the character, and wrote the words 'good virtue and selflessness' after his name. Chen Tong stretched his neck and squinted at it, and then smiled.
Zheng Xun felt that this was not enough, and ordered Wang Chong to gather all the students in the Xuezhi Hall, praise Lin and Ziying in public, and teach other students to learn more from the two, and the students also whispered and praised them. However, Zheng Xun's move made the child Zheng Shijie extremely unhappy, he shook his hands in front of everyone with a blue face and left angrily, Zhang Xiang and Zhao Cheng wanted to go out with them but didn't dare, and they were embarrassed in place.
Later in the evening, Zheng Shijie couldn't bear the anger in his heart, and broke into the room with hatred, Zheng Xun had a calm face and thoughtfulness, and saw that he was even more angry. Zheng Shijie is a straight temper, and he must vent any unhappy emotions, so he said without bowing: "Why does the father humiliate the child so much!" There was a little fear in his indignant tone, he had been afraid of his father since he was a child, but he had a little more courage in the past three years.
Zheng Xun knew what he was here for, and said slowly with a cold face: "How my father humiliated you, let's hear it." Zheng Shijie clenched his fists and said: "Zhang Wen was on the wall before, and this time he praised that guy in public, did the father ever want to save half face for the child!" Zheng Xun put the teacup on the table with his mouth, but it was as heavy as a thousand catties, and he glanced at him with squinted eyes: "Your face? Where will you put the face of the Father? The reason why Zheng Xun praised Xiang Lin in public was mostly for the child Zheng Shijie, but Zheng Shijie didn't seem to appreciate his good intentions.
Zheng Shijie groaned: "The child has been studying for three years, and my father has come to the school palace to see me once, and I saw it before, the child is afraid and happy, but the father has not praised the child for a few days, and he is not from my Zheng family, but his father has praised him to the sky and praised him everywhere, is it.. Isn't a child as good as a broken foreigner in the eyes of his father!? Zheng Xun was uncontrollable when he heard this, and threw the teacup on the ground.
"Rebel! It's just gibberish! Zheng Xun turned around and pointed at his nose and scolded, "For my father, I will reveal the exam questions to you, but the article you wrote is mediocre, not as good as Xu Xianglin's words, malaria was rampant a few days ago, Xu Xianglin saved people and dangers, but you hid in the house and didn't see anyone, just like you were as bad as you were when you were young, how your father praised you, the face of the Zheng family made you lose everything!" Zheng Xun shook his hand and turned his back, really didn't want to see him.
"Xu Xianglin.. Xu Xianglin... The father's left and right sentences are all him, so why don't you recognize him as a son.. What am I... I'm just the one who hides in the dark room and cries without my father helping me.. Haha.." Zheng Shijie smiled sadly, his eyes were full of tears, his hands couldn't help trembling, he couldn't forget the past, and it was difficult to get rid of it, the fear and loneliness in his heart trapped him like a cage, it was a shadow that he might not be able to get out of in his life.
"If your mother hadn't given birth to a son for my Zheng family, you and your mother would have been kicked out of the mansion a long time ago!" Zheng Xun's words shattered Zheng Shijie's heart like thunder and lightning, and Zheng Shijie's mind came back to the scenes of the two being bullied, he knelt on the ground with his head in his hands, shrunk into a ball and trembled, tears dripping like incontinence, and his eyes turned red.
Zheng Xun didn't want to say anything more to him, shook his hand and left with hatred, Zheng Shijie's white and trembling mouth kept muttering his mother's name. After about half an hour, Zheng Shijie slowly got up from the ground, his face like an abyss was without tears, but his bloodshot eyes revealed an extraordinary perseverance and ferocity, as if he wanted to eat people.
