Chapter Twenty-Five: Bao'er

I yawned and looked at the medical book on the table, I almost didn't sleep all night last night, and Chu Zhilan's hemoptysis didn't stop until midnight. He was chilled all over, and I originally planned to confess to the curator that I raised a big living person in the house, and asked him to save Chu Zhilan, but fortunately, Chu Zhilan was strong and healthy, and nothing happened.

When the clinic arrived at the sign for a visit, I just opened the door of the clinic and saw Li Yang with a black face......

I paused for a moment and smiled reluctantly, "Senior Brother Li, good morning!" ”

Li Yang's expression was very distorted, he sneered twice, and said, "Thanks to you yesterday, don't worry, I promised to take you into the palace." ”

I knew that yesterday's things were bad, and he would not spare me today, so I discussed my words with Chu Zhilan early.

"Senior brother, I already know the battle situation yesterday, I swear that this matter has nothing to do with me, it was my cousin who met a feud on the way to the villa, you knew about it last time you were in Candle Ming Peak, someone has been assassinating him. He fought with someone else and suffered internal injuries, which is why he lost the battle with you. ”

I poured him a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, trying to please him, "I only promised you to tell my cousin that you are going to fight him and beat you at a normal level, but you can't blame me for this normal level of injury." ”

Li Yang didn't pick up my water, glanced at me very disdainfully and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?" ”

Don't say it, I think you are. I laughed and said, "How can that?" ”

I thought I was going to have to deal with him, but I didn't think that Li Yang suddenly changed his attitude, "Forget it, this matter is what you and I want, and I think it's too simple for me to think about it, how can a woman's admiration be swayed because of the other party's strong martial arts?" ”

I nodded and said yes again and again, but what I thought in my heart was that the daughter of Wanhu Villa didn't know which eye was bad, and she actually fell in love with this fool.

I suddenly remembered what Chu Zhilan said last night: "I saw that the woman looked at Li Yang from beginning to end without taking her eyes off. I only now understand that a person who is emotional, even if the other party is really a fool, will be full of good for the other party. ”

I also retorted to him: "Where there is emotion, it is blinded by illusion!" ”

My hand was held by his cold hand, and he opened his eyes to look at me and said, "Then what illusion have I been blinded by?" ”

One sentence choked all my answers.

"Well, since I promised you, I'll take you there." After Li Yang finished speaking, he saw the tea cup in my hand, took it and drank it all. He put the empty teacup on the table, and the look in his eyes was something I had never seen before, as if he was lost and helpless.

I saw that he was leaving, so I remembered to ask him, "My cousin is worried about me and wants to go with me, is it okay?" ”

He left a back for me, and his voice was low: "Whatever you want." ”

What's wrong with this man?!

I stood in place for a long time, but when I turned around, I saw Chu Zhilan, who had a pale face, standing in front of me wearing a coat...... It scared my soul out of my body.

"You...... How did it come out? Before I finished speaking, I saw Director Yu standing behind him with a bitter face, and I was immediately silenced.

"Yu Lao knows." Chu Zhilan's pale face was not waveless, and the outstretched hand was still so cold, "It's okay, Yu Lao and I have made things clear." ”

I was so shocked that I began to bite my tongue when I spoke: "What, what is clear?" ”

Chu Zhilan smiled slightly, and the smile hung on his weak face, looking a little desolate.

"All the things."

I then stammered, "So, all the things? "I'm starting to think back to what has happened in the intervening years...... Well...... How does this make it clear? Does that make it clear? ==

"Child, soon your senior brother will come back, you will help him write down the account, have you finished reading "Yunjiang Medicine"?"

Director Yu suddenly asked, and I didn't react for a while: "Ah... Yes? Not yet. "I held Chu Zhilan's hand, I was very nervous, and I didn't figure out what the situation was now.

Chu Zhilan in front of me suddenly let go of his hand, and the coldness accompanied by a slight pain fainted on my head, and I subconsciously covered my head that had been knocked by him.

"Your master asked you to study, why don't you go soon?"

I looked up at Chu Zhilan's mocking eyes, and I wanted to pounce on him immediately, but at this time, Senior Brother Fang happened to come back and greeted: "Hello curator, Chu Qing is also here, have you eaten?" Directly ignored Chu Zhilan who was standing in the medical hall.

"Pang Langzhong, today you take Chu Qing to help keep accounts."

"Okay, Curator." As he spoke, Senior Brother next to him took out a large stack of account books, "Little Senior Brother, you are blessed today, our medical center is just going to make a monthly settlement, will you join me?" ”

I was absentmindedly fiddling with the abacus, and Chu Zhilan and the curator were sitting at the consultation table not far away, and the two of them whispered something. The curator has always had a serious face, but Chu Zhilan rarely showed a gentle side, I don't know if it was because he lost too much blood.

Because I would look at them from time to time, the senior brother next to me also saw something strange and asked me, "Does the little junior brother know the son who talked to the curator?" ”

It just so happened that Chu Zhilan glanced back at me, and his burning gaze was a little cunning, catching me looking at him. My face was hot, and I couldn't get my hands right, and all the abacus beads were disrupted by me......

"Little junior brother, are you deliberately making trouble for me?" The good-natured senior brother finally had a cold face, and I was so frightened that I immediately made a repayment: "Senior brother, don't blame, I'll recalculate immediately, recalculate immediately, hehe." ”

At this time, Director Yu suddenly shouted: "Xiao Bian, you are busy yourself, Chu Qing, you come over first, I have something to tell you." ”

I smiled awkwardly at the senior brother next to me, but he was not annoyed, but said helplessly: "Curator, don't let him come back to help if you tell him to leave, I really don't need it." ”

I walked over slowly under the gaze of the old curator and Chu Zhilan, feeling uneasy in my heart. When I was still a step away from them, Chu Zhilan suddenly stretched out her hand and naturally pulled me to his side. I was shocked to turn around, but fortunately, the senior brother next to me was lowering his head and settling my bad account......

"Qingyi, Director Yu asked you what the relationship is, and I said that I didn't believe him very much when I heard him, so you came to tell him in person."

I was stunned, what does it matter? It should be...... Huh? No, it seems that I really don't have any legitimate relationship with Chu Zhilan. Wandering all the way, neither married nor married, can it be said that he is a life-saver? I looked down and saw Chu Zhilan holding my hand, a life-saving benefactor...... I had a flash of inspiration, yes! The grace of saving lives is promised by yourself!

"He's my father-in-law!" I said, "He saved my life, and I promised it with my body." ”

Holding my hand obviously paused, Director Yu's beard was even more shocked, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Good girl, you, do you mean to say that you married him?" ”

I was so surprised when I saw the old man, I was afraid that he had just said something wrong, and was about to change his words, but Chu Zhilan grabbed the conversation: "That's right, Qingyi is my beloved woman, and naturally she is my lady." ”

The word lady came out of Chu Zhilan's mouth, and the hairs on my whole body stood up, and the palm holding Chu Zhilan began to break out in a cold sweat.

"Lady, I'm tired, can you send me back to the house?"

Sending you back to the house? I want to send you to heaven!

"Good girl, he did lose too much blood and was very weak, send him up to rest, don't worry, everything is still an old man like me!"

I looked at the curator's body more distressed than me, and I was even more surprised! Just a few words? Do you care about the Venerable Master? Can this be taken in by the curator for any reason?

I helped Chu Zhilan back to the house, this guy pretended to be very similar, obviously he was a lot better last night, but now most of his body weight is pressing on me, making it seem like he is really going to return to the West immediately.

"Lady~"

I let go and let him fall on my bed, laughing like a sheep's madness. It's the first time I've seen him smile so happily, but I'm very unhappy :(

I pounced to cover his mouth, this guy had full strength even if he lost blood, and my hands were held by the waist, my hands were imprisoned at my sides, and the whole person moved like a fish.

So I used the trick of injuring 800 enemies (maybe not even 100) and injuring 1,000 myself: Look at the old lady, my head hammer!

Of course, the ending is obvious: Chu Zhilan can only let go of me and rub my head. While rubbing it, he said forcefully: "It was Qingyi who first said that I was your father-in-law, and I just followed what you said." ”

I was dissatisfied that he blamed me, so I asked, "What did you tell the curator in the first place?" ”

"I said you were my beloved woman."

He answered so unabashedly that he made me feel more ashamed than the "lady".

"So he agreed to let you stay?"

The question was not followed by an answer, but a long silence.

"I'm with Director Yu...... It's kind of understanding. ”

"Count?"

Chu Zhilan didn't reply to my words for a long time.

"If you don't want to say it or you can't say it, don't say it." My face was pressed against his chest, and the beating of his heart was as powerful as his own. I hugged Chu Zhilan like this, and he didn't push me away, the hand on the back of my head was cold, as if to soothe.

"My father was a student of Yu Lao."

I looked up at him with my chin resting on his chest and looking up at him, "Isn't your father the Pavilion Master of the Limbo Sect?" How can you worship a healer as a teacher? ”

Chu Zhilan seemed a little distressed, I had never seen him show such an expression before, as if he was embarrassed about how to explain this matter to me.

"Chu Heshan is both my master and my stepfather, but what I just said is my biological father. He was born poor, and by chance, he worshipped Yu Lao to study medicine, studied hard and became famous, and then entered the court as a doctor in the Tai Hospital, and rose step by step and even ranked first in the Tai Hospital. ”

Chu Zhilan spoke blandly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. But I was surprised when I heard it, "The head of the hospital?" I have long heard that Yunjiang values doctors, and many famous doctors are famous all over the world, and even the director of the Tai Hospital in the Imperial City of Yuling has passed from Huai Candle. Your biological father can sit in such a high position, I didn't expect you to be a child of a noble family! ”

After hearing this, Chu Zhilan just sneered: "So what? I'm not still a broken family, I have survived until now by being taken in by my master and mother. ”

I was silent, thinking about it, if I hadn't made a big mistake, how could the children of your family be wandering in the rivers and lakes? No matter which dynasty or generation, those who enter the world and live above the temple will either glorify their ancestors or become prisoners of the lower ranks. I deserve to know this the truth.

"Are you sorry for me? Or do you think of yourself? Chu Zhilan comforted me and said, "It's okay, I was too young at that time to remember clearly." ”

"Then you don't remember your father?"

"Hmm...... I can't remember my appearance, I only remember my name, it's He Zhiqing. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ He Zhiqing ......"

The storyteller's words were imprinted in his head: "It is said that the first family of the He Yuan was escorted all the way to the execution ground, and all the flesh and blood of the closest relatives were sent, and the other slave housekeepers had already been beheaded and killed in the He family's house." He Zhiqing has a younger sister, who cried miserably along the way, and passers-by felt sorry for their hearts after hearing it. This girl He has been raised in the courtyard of the deep house, and she is not out of the door, and she is not married, how can she understand the affairs of the court? was implicated by his brother and died. However, it was Imperial Physician He and his wife who were silent along the way. Oh, and the couple's son who is not in time for the gang, he also doesn't cry or make trouble all the way, probably because he was stupid by this battle. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ When it was time for the execution, the children who had not cried or made a fuss along the way suddenly laughed, and everyone was shocked and felt terrible, and many people did not dare to stay in the execution ground at that time to watch the excitement, and dispersed one after another. A few bold people were still watching there, and they heard He Zhiqing and Imperial Doctor He call the child slowly: "Bao'er." Immediately the boy fell into obscurity, and said no more.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Blood splattered all over the ground, the child's neck was soft, and the round head of a guillotine fell to the ground, but the head of the courtyard was said to have been cut off after more than a dozen knives......"

I was in a cold sweat, so frightened that I covered my neck with my hands, Chu Zhilan glanced at me, and her eyes were full of incomprehension. His neck was so close that I stared at his rather slender neck, the protruding Adam's apple rolling occasionally.

"What's wrong?" He asked with concern, putting his hand on the front neck I was holding, "Uncomfortable neck?" Twisted? ”

"Nope." I shook my head and asked tentatively, "Ah Lan, let me ask you a question, your father's name is He Zhiqing, is your name He Bao'er......"

Surprise, ridicule, disdain, none of the reactions I imagined Chu Zhilan had happened. He had a dark face and an ugly expression, really, I thought it was even more terrifying than the look he had when he killed someone.

But this did not prevent me from continuing to die, I gently dotted his clothes with my fingers, and pretended to be naΓ―ve: "Hey, last time Li Yang took me to the teahouse at the entrance of Tianzijing Market to listen to the book, that's what he said, the storyteller said that He Zhiqing has a son named Bao'er, how do I know that He Zhiqing is your father......" My voice became smaller and smaller, and finally Chu Zhilan's cold hand resumed stroking on the back of my head, but I felt scared.

"Qingyi, don't call me that in the future, okay?"

I deliberately showed a very bright smile and nodded obediently, "Okay, Bao'er!" ”
