Chapter 148: Physician Zhou
"Daddy? Father? Don't scare me, wake up... โ
Since Doctor Zhou said the words "go find Qin Fen", he lowered his head heavily and his whole body collapsed on the chair.
Zhou Ling'er's arm felt colder and colder through her clothes, was the charcoal fire in this room not enough. Zhou Ling'er was a little flustered, and shook the old father's arm,
"Why didn't you wake up... I listen to you, let's go to Shudi, you wait for me, I'll go to Huai'an, we'll go now. Zhou Ling'er really didn't know what to do, so she hurriedly came out of the hall and ran towards the gate, going to find Huai'an.
Zhou Ling'er ran all the way, and before she stumbled out of the eastern suburbs, a person came over, dressed in a plain robe, but it was so coincidental that she met Huai'an.
found Huai'an, Zhou Ling'er seemed to have a master, pulled Huai'an and ran home, ran and stopped, shook off Huai'an's hand, squatted on the street, buried his head in his knees, and stammered, "My father is gone, what should I do?" โ
Huai'an was already a little stunned when he was pulled to run, and now he was even more overwhelmed when he saw Zhou Ling'er squatting down, and only when he got closer did he hear the words 'gone, what should I do'.
Huai'an stretched out his hand to hug Zhou Ling'er and comforted, "Don't cry, you still have me, is something happening at home?" โ
"My dad is gone." Zhou Linger said again.

Dr. Zhou had no one to comfort him during his lifetime, and he lived a lonely life, but many people came after his death. In addition to Huai'an, who has been waiting in front of the mourning hall, there are also some relatives who have rushed over from the countryside, more or less have received some favors, and they gathered in a group in the courtyard, or comforted Zhou Ling'er, or helped take care of some aftermath.
In the end, it was the original owner, someone came to the house here in the eastern suburbs that night, and it was the eldest lady who sent him to help, Zhou Ling'er thanked them one by one, but he didn't find that Qin Fen came over and asked the guy who was in the lead.
The guy replied respectfully, "Two months ago, Doctor Qin went out, I don't know when I will come back, if Miss Ling has something important, she can only go to the eldest lady to discuss." โ
went out, it seems that this person is following his father's old path, he always goes out for a few months every year, and when he comes back, he will never reveal a word outside, Zhou Ling'er also understands what his father means when he says that he has to go to Qin Fen, so he casually stubble with the guy and split the matter.
Waiting until the next morning, Yao Hua came to the door again, and the distant cousin, who had not been seen for a long time, finally appeared, and he was more proud than when he came last time, and the clothes on his body were also changed, and even the accessories were changed.
Seeing Zhou Ling'er's crying red eyes, Yao Hua calmed down a little, put on a sad face, and said, "Sister Ling'er, the deceased has passed away, mourn." As he spoke, he asked the guy behind him to hand the silver taels prepared by the Zhou family to the person in charge.
Zhou Ling'er saluted, led Yao Hua into the mourning hall and kowtowed, and then went out to greet some things. Yao Hua likes to go around in circles, and finally turned the topic around to the treatment of Dr. Zhou's legacy.
"Sister Ling'er, when our uncle went, did you mention an envelope or a booklet-like thing, let me take it from the master's side, this is something that our uncle said to the owner earlier, do you know that there is such a thing."
If there was no temporary words from Doctor Zhou, Zhou Ling'er would probably go with him to find the promised letter and go to Zhou's house to ask for a benefit. But in the last words, there was no mention of the Zhou family, which may not be what Yao Hua said before, but it was just a plan to deceive himself as an orphan and widow without proof.
Zhou Ling'er wiped her eyes that were already red from crying with her sleeve, and whispered, "Father is in a hurry, how can he say anything about the letter, what is there to look for, I have to wait for my father to pass after seventy-seven before he can move." โ
This is indeed not a good time, Yao Hua mentioned it, and then he didn't mention it again, and after a few more pleasantries, he couldn't stay, said goodbye to Zhou Ling'er, and went happily.
In the evening, Liang Tian came over in a carriage, brought a little bit of the Liang family's heart, and led Zhou Ling'er to the back room to talk.
When he arrived in the back room, Liang Tian asked, "Did you tell him about it?" โ
"No, let's talk about it when my father's business is over, I don't want anything else now, I just want to accompany my father, he always got together less and left more with me before his death, now he is finally not busy, and I should do my duty as a child."
When encountering this kind of thing, Liang Tian frowned, and said with some displeasure, "Coming to this point, do you want to regret it?" โ
"It's just a matter of postponing things a little bit, how can it be regarded as regretting. The three girls grew up with us, and you still don't know what others don't know? Or is there something that the third girl desperately wants to get, and needs my help, let's hear what I might be able to help with. I don't know if this excuse for pushing back is true or false, Zhou Ling'er, who was indomitable before, has indeed changed a little, and began to know how to leave some way out for herself, and figure out people other than Huai'an.
"No, you came to ask me for help in the first place, I'm just reminding you that not everyone is like you, and they have the leisure to do these things at all times." Seeing that Zhou Ling'er wanted to figure out herself, Liang Tian was immediately a little unhappy, and turned around to leave.
"But I don't think the third girl came to help me for any leisure, is Huai'an blocking your way, you just want him to fall out of favor in front of the old man. You know that we can't get out of this white city, but you want to encourage me to come and go this way, I think the garden is fake, and I want to explore how deep the water of this pool is true. Zhou Ling'er was behind Liang Tian and said unceremoniously.
"What did you learn from Doctor Zhou?" Liang Tian turned sideways, with a low face, a little angry, staring at Zhou Ling'er and asking.
Zhou Ling'er was frightened by this sudden anger, took two steps back, swallowed her saliva again, her voice was a little hoarse, and she diverted the topic and said, "I just said nonsense, everyone knows that my father is in a hurry, and it will be gone at night, what can he say to me." โ
"You'd better not know anything, then you really won't be able to get out." Liang Tian said that he was about to go back, but suddenly turned around and came back, and said, "For you, this is not necessarily the safest place, but I don't think you will have a peaceful birthday like this." If Dr. Zhou has any chips left for you, you'd better come to me first, or I think you will go first before that thing is used. โ
A little daughter who doesn't love her father and doesn't kiss her mother, what is there to be proud of, Zhou Linger really doesn't like Liang Tian, she didn't like her like she seemed to really see people through before, and at this time she came to warn herself, it was nothing more than that she was really touched just now. This is just right, those words are very useful to the outsider Zhou Ling'er, and the Liang family should really have something to see.
"Don't bother with the third girl, my father left me just this small house, what else can I have." Zhou Ling'er owed a debt and put on a send-off look.
is going through this for others, Liang Tian doesn't plan to spend it with her, just watch this drama by herself, it would be best if it could be done earlier.
When he went out, there was some snow in the sky, Liang Tian subconsciously gathered his cloak, this is also the eastern suburbs, it should not be far from the street, that rainy night, is it as dark as tonight.
"Third girl, there is something wrong with the carriage, I don't know what the horse ate, it is going crazy at this time, I have asked someone to go back and bring one over to change it, let's wait and leave."
Liang Tian glanced outside and said with a smile, "It's okay, let's walk first, and when we get to the city gate, we can hire a car." โ
"But it's snowing now, three girls, we'll have to wait..." Before the man could finish speaking, Liang Tian had already strode forward and went straight to the city gate.
From the eastern suburbs to the city gate, there are always people's houses, the lanterns outside the door flickering faintly, and from time to time children come out to see the snow. By the light, the two of them walked one after the other to the gate, and there was nothing wrong with them.
Seeing that he was about to reach the edge of the city gate, a group of people who had never seen it suddenly poured out, walking towards the two of them, and the people behind them walked a few steps forward, subconsciously protecting Liang Tian behind him, but they were still dispersed by the crowd, and in a hurry, someone stretched out his hand and pulled Liang Tian to the alley.
Before he had gone far, the man was stabbed by a knife to his neck, followed by a low roar, "Let go." โ
The man snorted coldly and said, "I'm not going to let go." โ
But before he finished speaking, Liang Tian behind him had already broken free of his hand, straightened out the clothes on his body, and said with a smile, "What does Wang Gongzi mean by this?" He waved his hand again and told his retinue to step back.
Siming's arm was still as it was just now, looking back at Liang Tian, it was cold for a long time before he opened his mouth, and muttered in a hoarse voice. "Do you have to do this to me?"
How long has it been since I heard this voice, and the stagnant time began to turn again, but Liang Tian was different from that time, turned around, didn't look at him, and said indifferently, "Wang Gongzi, taking advantage of the dark to kidnap someone else's girl is not a gentleman's style. โ
"I..." Siming always thought that the relationship between the two had not changed, as long as she was willing to go to her, she could always be redeemed, even if her family sent someone to stop him halfway at that time, it was not her idea, but she didn't expect her to be so indifferent, is it because someone is guarding nearby, or she still doesn't admit defeat, and asks again, "Is it because they are watching?" โ
"It has nothing to do with them." Now it's really a treasure of words.
The wound that had already healed, Siming felt pain again, and the pain spread to his heart, tearing it painfully, Feixue hit his face, but he didn't feel anything, took a breath, and asked, "Are you the one who wants my life on the road?" โ
Liang Tian took two steps forward, and said with a vague expression, "It's me." โ
The person who was so protective of himself and was willing to take all his wealth to any place with him became so strange at this time, Siming was unwilling in the end, chased after him again, went around to Liang Tian, handed her the dagger, and said in a low voice, "I didn't want to live anymore in Mincheng, since you want my life, then take it." โ
