Next Chapter

In the duty room of the Affiliated Hospital of Yenching University, the strong smell of formalin is accompanied by two snoring sounds one after another, and the first rays of sunlight in the morning pour down through the glass window of the same name, illuminating the fine dust, and all kinds of clutter in the duty room are chaotic, but a man and a woman in the upper and lower bunks still sleep sweetly.

Tick Tick Tick

A hurried bell rang, Xi Yao grabbed her somewhat messy hair, and said in a muffled voice: "Hey, answer the phone..."

The man on the top bunk didn't seem to hear it, and the snoring intensified.

The ringtone of the mobile phone on the table was harsh and irritable, and the vibration was still continuous, disturbing people's dreams, so Xi Yao had no choice but to get up and bypass the obstacle to answer the phone, complaining: "Who, I can't even sleep well in the morning!"

Picking up the phone and taking a look, Xi Yao's heart tightened, her tone changed slightly, and she exclaimed: "Hey, hurry up, it's a mad dog." ”

As soon as the word "mad dog" came out, the man on the top bunk sat upright, motioned for Xiyao to take the mobile phone, and cleared his throat: "Hey, the professor is me, Fan Zhe." ”

"Do you want to die?" The sharp question on the other side of the earpiece suddenly sounded, you can imagine how angry the people on that side were, "I've called you a few times, where did Xiyao go!"

"Xiyao?" Fan Zhe was stunned, then looked at the woman standing below, raised his eyebrows, and said with a secret smile: "Ah~~ She's right next to me, and I don't know why she refuses to answer the phone....Okay, I'll give her the phone." ”

"You!" Xi Yao was furious, clenched her fists and prepared to greet her, but before the curse could be spoken, the mobile phone drew a perfect arc in the air and landed in her arms.

The professor held back his anger and said word by word: "Ten minutes, if you haven't appeared in my office yet, you can find your tutor to intercede with me tomorrow!"

"Yes..."Xi Yao looked at the ten missed calls on her inexplicably muted mobile phone, as if she heard the tutor's angry scolding.

In Fan Zhe's proud mourning, Xi Yao put on his shoes and ran out of the duty room and went straight to the professor's office.

Ten minutes later, a female doctor with messy hair and unbrushed teeth appeared outside the office of Professor Tan of the Department of Thoracic Surgery, and raised her hand to knock on the door after tidying up her white coat.

"Please come in. A casual but dignified voice rang out.

She secretly blessed herself not to die too miserably...

The gold-rimmed glasses were shining in the sun, and the white coat of the man at the table did not have a trace of dust, he looked Xi Yao up and down a few times, and said angrily: "You don't even answer the professor's phone, that's how you did the intern?"

Xi Yao was said to be embarrassed, and she couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, so she hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry professor, I..."

"Okay, don't talk about it, okay, I didn't come to you today to treat the disease and save people. The professor interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"Then you're looking for me...?"

The professor cleared his throat and was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you the daughter of the archaeologist Xi Guozheng?"

"Huh?" his father's name suddenly appeared strangely, and Xi Yao nodded blankly, "It's my father." ”

The professor's face softened slightly, and there was a faint smile on his lips, "If your father has free time, help me identify a treasure." ”

Xi Yao was stunned for a moment, becoming more and more confused, "What do you mean, professor?"

Before the words fell, the professor turned around and took out something from the drawer, "I'm an antique lover, I found a jade pendant in the market a few days ago, I don't know if it's true or not, I want your father to help identify it to see if it's true." ”

Xi Yao's body leaned forward slightly, and saw clearly the white jade like clotted fat in the professor's hand, half a piece of fish-patterned white jade round carving, carved out the eyes, gills, abdomen, tail and other details with Yin lines, the whole body was crystal clear, without any impurities, and the perforation at the mouth of the fish was tied with a thin thread of golden tassels and water Binan beads, which was exquisite and beautiful.

Beauty is beautiful, and the strange thing is that although the fish-patterned white jade of the round carving is a whole, it is only half. The ancients said that a gentleman wears jade, but what gentleman is willing to wear half a piece of jade?

After thinking about it, I remembered that my father seemed to be going to S Province for archaeology today, so he blurted out: "Hmm... But my father is very busy with work..."

Seeing Xiyao frowning, the professor also had a bit of rejection in his words, and hurriedly interrupted, "You haven't had a thoracotomy yet, have you?"

Xi Yao looked stunned, what did the professor mean by letting her into the operating room?

Without doing anything, the professor leaned back on the chair and pursued after the victory: "You will also do the stitching, how about it?"

Xi Yao's eyes lit up: "Really?!"

"Of course. The professor's eyes narrowed, and his words changed: "But if you dare to fool, I can't spare you!"

"It must be done in earnest!"

......

After packing herself up and changing her clothes, Xiyao went straight to her father's archaeological unit with the task given by the professor. The seniors of the medical hospital have never been in the operating room, and if she can get this opportunity, I believe that it is not completely impossible for her to stay in the hospital in the future. It's just a little jade pendant, and it should be in time before my father leaves.

Pushing the door in, his father, who was packing up archaeological tools, looked up, and said with a doting smile: "Yaoyao, why are you so idle today?"

Xi Yao put the fruit on the sofa, "I'll come and see you when I rest today." ”

Although Xi's father is middle-aged, his waist is still straight, his black hair is properly cut and neat, and his radiant eyes have the vitality of a young man, and he touched Xi Yao's little head dotingly, "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say, what's the matter with you little girl?"

As soon as it was exposed, Xi Yao smiled, took out the professor's jade pendant, and explained the matter to his father. The more she spoke, the more surprised she saw her father's eyes, staring at the white jade in her hand in a daze, and she didn't relax until she finished speaking.

"Dad?" Finally Xi Yao's empty eyes regained their vitality after the third call, and she was puzzled: "What's the matter, is this really a priceless treasure?"

Xi's father was a little excited, his face flushed, and he hurriedly got up and rummaged through the display cabinets, and said while looking for it: "Not only is it priceless, it is simply a peerless treasure, that is what the Archaeological Bureau has been looking for for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be in the people!"

Father took out a purple gold box with gold wire trim from a separate safe, it was very delicate, there was a simple lock on the box, it was opened with a slight twist, and a white jade with a warm color lay quietly in the box, it was really the same as the one she held in her hand, the same fish-shaped texture, the same tassel system Nanzhu, and it made the same crisp sound when she picked it up.

"This is the Pisces jade pendant that the Archaeological Bureau has been looking for for more than ten years, and I thought that the other half would be in a certain tomb, but I didn't expect it to be circulated among the people. Xi's father said excitedly, he wanted to say something more, but suddenly the door was pushed open, and a young man came in and said, "Professor, the director has something to do with you." ”

"Here it is. Xi's father replied, and said to Xiyao: "You wait for a while and come back, I have to tell everyone the good news!"

Seeing her father's happy appearance, Xiyao was quite glad that she didn't refuse the professor's request at that time.

She touched the texture of the fish-patterned jade pendant, and the white jade that was as clear as condensation was transparent by the sun, like flowing water and cold ice.

Xi Yao was stunned unconsciously, there seemed to be a circulating colorful brilliance in the moist and clear white jade, and the ghost took out the white jade in the box, the closer the two jade pendants were, the more dazzling the brilliance became, and the pale golden light shrouded the jade pendant around, half of it was a blazing orange red, and the other half was a warm light blue.

She stroked it gently, and an inexplicable refreshing coolness was transmitted to her body along her fingertips, this thing seemed to have a kind of magic power, so that Xi Yao couldn't leave her sight at all, and she suddenly had an idea - what if the two jade pendants were put together?

As soon as this thought flashed in his mind, his hand moved, as if he was not controlled by his thoughts, the purple gold box fell to the ground with a snap, and the hand holding the two jade pendants slowly approached, and the brilliance became more and more dazzling...

"Yaoyao, Dad may have to leave immediately, can you put the jade pendant first..." Dad Xi pushed the door in, and before the word "here" could be spoken, he only felt a gust of wind howling by, and the paper on the desk was swirling and flying, and the porcelain displayed on the Bogu shelf was shaken and broken. He narrowed his eyes, and even though his body was strong, he was blown back two steps by the strong wind.

The wind didn't last long, the wind subsided, and everything was calm, but there was only one big living person missing.

Xi's father slammed the door in, staring around with wide eyes, there was really no one in the empty office!

"Hey... Xi Yao!"
