Chapter 17: The Situation of Concubine Zhao

Jiang Jiuling's words brought a glimmer of hope to Zhao Xi.

No matter how close he is with his concubine, he has never been able to speak freely like a friend.

It's like he has to find an aunt with a good reputation in order to take care of his daughter's daily life. After all, he is a father, not a mother, and he can't be all-encompassing in terms of daily life and washing.

Now that the concubine's good friend is here, maybe it can really make the concubine's mood better.

"That ......"

Zhao Xi thought for a moment and beckoned Jiang Jiuling to enter the door, "I'll take you there, but I can't guarantee that the concubine will definitely see you." ”

On the ground floor is the kitchen, living room, bathroom and study. The second floor is the living room and bedroom, and Concubine Zhao's room is on the second floor. Zhao Xi whispered to Jiang Jiuling that the concubine's current situation is not very good, don't make a fuss when you see it later.

The two of them went up to the second floor lightly, and Jiang Jiuling had just gone upstairs when he smelled a strange smell on the second floor.

It smells like some kind of Chinese herbal medicine.

"You sit in the living room and wait for a while, and I'll go and tell the concubine that you've come to see her. Zhao Xi patted Jiang Jiuling on the shoulder, and then tiptoed towards Concubine Zhao's room.

Sitting in the living room, Jiang Jiuling looked at the wall opposite with a color TV, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

There are several posters on the walls, all of which are posters of robot chariots, and each poster has the name of the chariot on the top of the robot chariot in Chinese and English. In addition, for the sake of visual effect, the artists also painted colorful fire and explosion effects around the photos of these vehicles.

Posters from the nineties certainly wouldn't be very beautiful, and even the colors of these hand-painted special effects were very distorted.

But these posters represent the most beloved dreams of the three members of the Crimson Arc group at that time.

For this strong yearning for industrial science and technology, they have paid a lot of practical actions and paid a painful price.

Jiang Jiuling sighed, Zhao Xi on the side pushed open the door of the concubine's bedroom, and after walking in, there was no movement for a full minute.

It just so happened that the door was not closed, Jiang Jiuling couldn't help but want to see Concubine Zhao, so he quietly stood up and looked inside the door.

He saw Concubine Zhao's unusually thin back, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing the school uniform that she used to wear when raising the national flag, and her long hair was braided into a ponytail, as if she was in the same mood, losing her previous black and translucent luster.

She had a large dual-card cassette radio on her desk.

There was a soft Leslie Cheung song on the radio, and Zhao Xi stood next to her without speaking, and the two seemed to be in silence. Jiang Jiuling listened carefully for a moment, and what was playing on the radio should be [The Wind Continues to Blow].

Concubine Zhao didn't like to listen to songs before, and her interest was in electronic technology products.

The three members of the interest group once saw photos of home computers launched by IBM in foreign magazines. At that time, Concubine Zhao stared at its eyes, and the nine cows couldn't pull it out.

Now Jiang Jiuling not only saw the dual-card radio, but also saw a thick stack of cassette boxes on the writing desk.

Concubine Zhao didn't like to listen to songs before, but Jiang Jiuling liked to listen to them.

Because his girlfriend is the concertmaster of the National Conservatory of Music.

His girlfriend Ai Qingqing is not only proficient in folk music and pop singing, but also flute, pipa, guzheng and piano, all of which are at the level of a concert. Her collection of various tapes and records at home is more than the models and figurines that Jiang Jiuling has collected since he was a child.

Even if Jiang Jiuling is a piece of wood, he can be nurtured into music cells after a few years of love, not to mention that Jiang Jiuling is not wood?

He knows a lot about music and loves music. Therefore, he can hear that the sound quality of the tape in the radio is good, and it is very different from the pirated transcription version that is popular on the street now.

Leslie Cheung's song ended, and Concubine Zhao, who was in silence, finally spoke, her voice was a little cold, "I don't want him, you let him go back." ”

Zhao Xi muttered a few times, but finally didn't say anything.

Jiang Jiuling keenly noticed that when Concubine Zhao spoke, her weak shoulders trembled, as if she was restraining some emotion.

Walking out of the room, Zhao Xi also saw Jiang Jiuling standing outside. He made a boo gesture and waited until he exited the room and closed the door before whispering, "I persuaded her twice, but she still doesn't want to see you." ”

Jiang Jiuling snorted, and then invited Zhao Xi to sit on the sofa in the living room.

His behavior was very familiar, which made Zhao Xi a little surprised, it seemed that he hadn't seen him for a few months, and the young man in front of him had transformed, and his speech and demeanor had become much more mature.

"Uncle Zhao, can I ask about Concubine Zhao's specific situation?" After sitting down, Jiang Jiuling put the gift on the glass coffee table in front of him, and whispered in confusion: "I know she didn't like to listen to songs before, but now there are many more cassette tapes on the writing desk." ”

Based on his feelings, Jiang Jiuling felt that the principal and Concubine Zhao's father were deliberately avoiding Concubine Zhao's current situation.

Zhao Xi stared at Jiang Jiuling for a long time, Jiang Jiuling in his memory was a shy little boy who was easily shy, and he would only call his uncle hello when he came to the house as a guest in the past.

Could it be that after that accident, he quickly became mature?

"The concubine's eyes are out of sight. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Jiuling subconsciously covered his lips, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his voice and be heard by Concubine Zhao in the room.

"How so?"

"I remember that accident, Concubine Zhao didn't hurt her eyes. ”

Zhao Xi's expression became a little painful, and he tapped his fingers on the top of his forehead, "She really didn't hurt her eyes, but there was a piece of metal that hit her head and couldn't be taken out, and the doctor said that this piece of metal had pressed on the tissues related to vision." ”

"After the concubine was out of danger, I also took her to Shanghai Hospital to take a picture of the kind of CT machine imported from abroad. I've also invited a slag-class extraordinary engineer to sense the location of the piece of metal that was left in the concubine's mind. ”

"But all the doctors I've talked to have said that the fragment can't be removed because it's stuck at the edge of the vessel. The doctor also said that the concubine lay on the hospital bed for a month, and during this time, the appearance of the fragments had formed a layer of mustard, which was adhered to the blood vessels and tissues next to it, and the success rate of the operation was almost zero. ”

"After waking up from the concubine, the eyes were out of sight. ”

Zhao Xi's voice became smaller and quieter the more she spoke, "I can't see with my eyes, her life is completely ruined, and she hasn't laughed since then." ”

"Alas~"

"Fortunately, there is music, I asked my friend to get a lot of tapes from Xiangjiang, and music and me are the only things she can rely on now. ”

......

It's four o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Jiuling had been sitting in the living room for an hour.

He remembered that Zhao Xi was very busy on weekdays, and when he used to come to his house as a guest, he often only took a picture.

Concubine Zhao's parents divorced when she was in elementary school, so after Aunt Xu, who is taking care of her now, was angry and left, Zhao Xi couldn't go anywhere this afternoon, so she could only accompany her daughter at home.

In the past few hours, Zhao Xi has been talking to Jiang Jiuling about Concubine Zhao's situation, maybe it is because he needs to talk about his boring life in the past few months, or Jiang Jiuling's speech and demeanor make him feel that he has changed a lot, and he feels like he can talk to him about business.

"Uncle Zhao, is the concubine really unable to operate in this situation?"

"I've heard that there is a higher title above the slag engineer. Could these titleholders who have mastered extraordinary abilities have some magical abilities that can help take out this piece of metal?"
