63. The world is blurred

Hong'er had to pretend to be a man in the barracks in order to hide people's eyes, and after she returned to Chengdu, she bought a small house in a remote place, with gray brick walls, and the house was simple, with only two rooms, she lived alone, it was enough, and she settled down.

The house is far away from Kong Ming's house, separated by several streets, I wouldn't have thought that there would be any connection and she would be back to the original Hong'er, indifferent, thin and cool, no quarrel with the world, the wound on the face, if you want to treat, it is difficult, ten days, the injury on the face is just gone, the scar is still there, the burn is gone, how can it still be as beautiful as before?

The big waves are sweeping the sand, generation after generation of heroes are buried, and now in the Shu army, there are very few people who know Hong'er, and it is not difficult to conceal their identity, and it is not bad to live alone.

The huge yard, only Hong'er alone, midnight, sometimes feel empty, but the heart is calm, there is no need to intrigue, Hong'er is tired of talking and laughing on the surface, behind the scenes of a life of exhaustion, now life, is also very good, but to cook by yourself, clean by yourself, everything has to rely on yourself, but also find something to do, otherwise there is no money, too realistic.

Hong'er came to the pharmacy in the city, and the young man greeted her, "Madam, you are here, you haven't been here for many days." "The young man is about to grow up, and he has become much more mature, but he is still so enthusiastic and optimistic.

"Yes, I'm going out to do something, is your shopkeeper there?" Hong'er asked softly, there is no way to ask for anything.

"Yo, ma'am, are you here, do you have something to do with me?" The old shopkeeper was still the same as before, but his temples were slightly white, and there were more wrinkles on his face, Hong'er asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper, are you short of people here?" I'm looking for something to do. โ€

The old shopkeeper's face sank, as if he was a little embarrassed, and then said, "If you are embarrassed, I will leave first." Hong'er was leaving, but the shopkeeper stopped her, "Madam, you wait." It seems that there is still a turning point, Hong'er is very happy in her heart, but there is no expression on her face, "What's the matter?" โ€

The old shopkeeper's tone became tactful, "Madam, I want to ask our young owner first, you can come back tomorrow!" "Wait, Hong'er can wait, she has time now, and then buy something,

She bought a lyre, a screen, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, chessboard, chess pieces, a few feet of fabric, only two colors, one white and one red, made by herself, clothes made of white clothes, red embroidered with plum blossoms on it, white clothes, pale pink plum blossoms, extraordinarily beautiful, red, like blood, red worn outside, white at home, flowers like brocade.

The stars are sparse on a moonlit night, Hong'er dances in the courtyard, but she hears a knock on the door, Hong'er goes over to open the door with joy, and when she opens the door, she sees that it is the old shopkeeper of the pharmacy, Hong'er asks: "Old shopkeeper, do you have something to do?" โ€

The old shopkeeper smiled, "Madam, the young owner has asked you to stay, and you can go tomorrow." Hong'er was also very happy, "Thank you, but don't call me Mrs. anymore, call me Hong'er." โ€

"Well, okay."

Early in the morning, Hong'er went to the pharmacy, and the old shopkeeper said: "Hong'er, our pharmacy lacks a female doctor to see the sick, you can go inside to treat the female dependents." โ€

"Ugh." After Hong'er finished speaking, she walked to the inner hall, that small box, there were a lot of silver needles in it, and she stayed all morning, and there was no one to see a doctor, Hong'er began to 'think', what kind of person is the young owner in their mouths, Hong'er has never seen it once, but she is also curious.

In the blink of an eye, it has been two years, and Kong Ming is also going to begin to fulfill the burden of supporting the orphan, at night, the night sky outside the house is dark and silent, the stars are sparse, and there is a kind of indescribable loneliness.

Boom...... Knock ......, there was a knock on the door, Hong'er ran to open the door, "Kong Ming, you're here!" Kong Ming hasn't been here for a long time, he only came once when he just moved, and he never stayed overnight, I don't know why he came today, Hong'er opened the door, "Come in." โ€

"No, I'm going to go on the expedition tomorrow, I don't know how long, you have to take care of yourself." Kong Ming said.

"Got it, you have to take care too." Hong'er said with concern, smiling slightly, like before, smiling like a flower, Hong'er watched Kong Ming's carriage leave, until it disappeared, and then went in,

He is going to war again, I don't know how long he will come back, the day of May, tepid, lukewarm, he wants to go on a northern expedition, and Hong'er is waiting for his good news in Chengdu.

Kong Ming out of the division, go very anxious, after the Lord led a hundred officials to send ten miles outside the north gate, Hong'er is not far away, follow them, the flag covers the field, the halberd is like a forest, Kong Ming led the army to look at Hanzhong and marched, Hong'er could not go, only silently prayed, hoping that Kong Ming would not have anything to do.

Hong'er sat in the inner hall of the pharmacy, holding her head with her hands, looking at the sky, and after a while, she heard that a carriage stopped outside the door, and the old shopkeeper also said: "Yo, young owner, you are here." โ€

Hong'er lifted the curtain, revealing a little slit, looking, and saw a man, wearing a huge cloak, Hong'er couldn't see his face clearly, he was dressed in white, spotless, like a scholar, not just what kind of person,

The old shopkeeper shouted, "Hong'er, come out and meet the young owner!" โ€

"Ahh Hong'er replied, then straightened her hair and clothes, and went out.

"Yes, young owner." Hong'er bowed deeply, showing respect for him, and also thanking him for giving Hong'er a job to do, he didn't look at Hong'er, and walked out, and the old shopkeeper and the guys also echoed and went out, "What kind of person!" โ€ใ€‚

Hong'er couldn't help but scold, Hong'er was left alone in the entire pharmacy, there are few people in this world who deserve Hong'er's respect, he is so unruly, it seems that he is not a person who can achieve great things, saving lives and helping the wounded, this is the only thing Hong'er can do now.

Hong'er walked into the inner hall and sat quietly, maybe it was a little expectation just now, Hong'er didn't know what she was expecting, "Female doctor, female doctor." โ€

Hong'er came back to her senses slightly, she was too fascinated by what she was thinking about just now, she didn't know that someone had come in, "Please take a seat." Hong'er regained her original consciousness, she is a doctor, and now that a patient is coming, she can't think about it.

But I saw two women, one with a tired face and white skin, and if you looked closely, she was indeed a beauty, and the other was a little younger, with peach cheeks and cherry blossoms, Chu Chu was moving, and Hong'er checked the pulse of the white beauty.

Hong'er frowned, stretched out a finger to wipe her face, it was really a layer of powder, no wonder it was so white, Hong'er twisted it, like lead powder, and asked, "Recently, what do you feel uncomfortable?" โ€

She clutched her stomach and said, "I've been groggy lately, with general weakness, dizziness, and chills at night. Hong'er lowered her head in the smallest voice, and said to herself: "Why are you so troubled! Hong'er felt sorry for her, "Please come out with me." Hong'er said to the woman next to her.

"Doctor, just say it, I can bear it." The woman was very calm, and Hong'er said gently: "You have been using lead powder instead of rouge to make your skin fair, and you have taken a small amount of โ–กโ–ก, and now you are terminally ill and poisoned into the bone marrow, and I have no way to recover." โ€

This woman is too crazy, her face, her appearance, it's just a skin, why care so much, the young woman next to her cried very much, "Sister, you can't leave me alone, my parents are dead, and I have no relatives except you." โ€

She is her sister, and she is also an older sister who lives alone with her sister, Hong'er can't help but pity them, but her heart is more than enough and her strength is insufficient, poison, there is no medicine to solve, Hong'er is a little puzzled,

"'Women are the ones who please themselves', this sentence is good, but he doesn't love you, why do you want to ask for it like this, is it worth it for such a man?" She was sick, and came to see her,

It's not him, he doesn't care about her at all, Hong'er doesn't know who that man is, it seems that he is also a well-dressed beast, a woman, what a simple animal.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I like him, as long as he's happy." Hong'er shook her head helplessly, she didn't know what to say, she was a woman who appeared for love, why couldn't she let it go, just look at yourself,

Love, it's really a mysterious and magical thing, people can't extricate themselves, the sister next to her still can't accept the reality, tears fall big drops, "Sister, don't leave me, then I live by myself, what's the point." โ€

The woman could see it openly, very indifferently, "Qiaoyan, don't feel sorry for me, you have to live well, you know?" โ€

"No, my sister is dead, and Qiaoyan doesn't want to live." She looked at Hong'er weakly and said, "Doctor, I have a reluctant request. Looking at a man who was about to die, Hong'er's heart softened again, "You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help." โ€

She smiled, she really looked good when she smiled, but her words were pale and weak, "Doctor, please help me take care of my sister, okay?" She said, kneeling, "You get up first, and I'll just say yes." โ€

Hong'er will agree because she is too much like herself back then, otherwise, Hong'er has been adrift, I don't know where she will be in the next moment, how can she take a girl!

They are gone, but the backs of their departures have always been reflected in Hong'er's mind, asking what is the situation in the world? Anyway, Hong'er wouldn't toss herself like this.

Ten days later, she really died, and her sister Qiaoyan also came to find Hong'er, who was lowering her head and thinking about something, "Doctor, do you have any work to do here?" As soon as Hong'er raised her head, a smile instantly bloomed on her face, "Qiaoyan, you're here, you don't have to do anything, I'll raise you." โ€

Hong'er's work is not heavy now, and she earns a lot, two people can spend, it is still okay, Qiaoyan is a little embarrassed, "That's not good, I can't drag you down, don't look at me small, I have a lot of strength." Hong'er didn't count what she said, she wanted to do it, but she still wanted the arrogant young owner to nod.

Hong'er found the old shopkeeper and said, "The old shopkeeper, this is my sister, she also wants to find some work to do, I don't know if there is any work here for her to do?" โ€

Hong'er still has to accompany the smiling face, after all, there is a request for others, the old shopkeeper is a little reluctant, "Hong'er, you have made an exception, and now you have to have an extra sister, you can't treat this place as your family, let whoever you want to come!" โ€

Hong'er was a little angry, Hong'er couldn't get used to his face, but Qiaoyan was the most important now, so she had to endure it.

Hong'er still smiled reluctantly, and took out some broken silver from her sleeve, "Old shopkeeper, you must have a way, how capable you are, I trust you the most." โ€

He happily accepted the silver and said with a smile: "Then you wait, I'll go and ask the young owner." โ€

"Thank you very much." As soon as Hong'er turned around, his face immediately changed, there was a trace of disdain, the gentleman took revenge, ten years is not too late, he treats Hong'er like this, one day, Hong'er will get it back from him.
