Chapter 6: Talking

"Be careful!" Jiang Wan stopped her waist and fished her up.

Rubbing her cheeks with Mingyue's exhaled breath, Jiang Wan twisted her eyebrows and reached out to her forehead.

Feeling the temperature from the palm of her hand, Jiang Wan's face was solemn: "You have a fever, I'll take you to the hospital."

Cheng Mingyue didn't speak again, her eyes were black for a while, and her legs couldn't make any effort, so she could only hook Jiang Wan's neck with her arms, and half-lie and half-leaning to move with her strength.

The aroma of blood was even stronger, and Jiang Wan clenched her teeth, suppressing a certain impulse in her heart.

She put one hand around Cheng Mingyue's waist and the other hand on her arm, bearing almost all the weight.

It was school day, there was no one at the school, and the security guards had gone to eat, so naturally no one noticed them.

She helped Cheng Mingyue out of the school gate, stood on the side of the road and reached out to stop a green taxi.

Getting into the car, Jiang Wan asked Cheng Mingyue to lean on her shoulder and reported the address to the driver: "Master, go to the nearest hospital."

The driver glanced at Cheng Mingyue, who was covered in blood, and realized that the situation was serious, so he responded urgently and stepped on the accelerator to start the car.

It was noon, and there were no cars on the road, so the driver still ran two red lights in a row.

In less than five minutes, the taxi was parked safely in front of the hospital.

"Little sister, it's here."

"Thank you, master." Jiang Wan thanked him, took out two red tickets from his pocket and handed them over, "No need to look for it." ”

Invest in peach to repay Li, the driver is righteous enough, and Jiang Wan is not stingy.

Cheng Mingyue was already a little delirious, and Jiang Wan directly carried her out of the car and into the emergency room.

Directly across the door is the triage desk, where no one is asking questions, and two nurses in white overalls are sitting and chatting.

Jiang Wan hugged Cheng Mingyue and walked over quickly, "Where can I register?" ”

One of the bespectacled nurses immediately stood up when she saw a patient, leaned forward, stretched out her hand to open Cheng Mingyue's eyelids to observe, and said, "No need to register, take your temperature first." ”

Another nurse into the microphone of the landline: "Triage, adjust the flat car."

It didn't take long for the sound of a car rolling from inside the hall.

A white coat came over, and a nurse in a nurse's uniform pushed a four-wheel bed half a step away, and Jiang Wan put Cheng Mingyue on the flat car. The glasses nurse described the condition to the white coat: "39.3Β° high fever shock, with a wound on the head......"

The white coat nodded, and without stopping, he pushed the flat cart with the nurse's uniform to the corridor on the side of the triage Taipei, and Jiang Wan followed.

Cheng Mingyue was pushed into the operating room for emergency treatment, and the doctor asked Jiang Wan to wait outside the door.

The surgical light on the wall lit up red, and the red was dazzling.

Jiang Wan sat on the iron chair in the corridor and licked her lips, she was addicted to smoking.

She pulled her cigarette case out of her pocket and was about to pull one out when she caught a glimpse of a white and blue no-smoking sign on the opposite wall. She gave up and put the cigarette case back in her pocket.

The corridor was quiet, and occasionally people passed in front of Jiang Wan, all of them were patients in hospital gowns, leaning against the wall, and some were walking slowly in wheelchairs.

Jiang Wan looked at it for a while, but it seemed that she hadn't seen anything, and she sat in a daze with her eyes open.

The waiting time is always long, and in the empty hallway, time passes especially slowly.

"Click."

Jiang Wan came back to his senses and got up, and the doctor came out of the ward.

"Hello, how's my friend doing?" She asked.

The doctor closed the door, raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Wan, then lowered his head and took the pen to write on the notebook in his hand, "The patient has two bone cracks in his ribs, a moderate concussion, and a slight pneumonia, and his body temperature has not dropped yet......"

He stopped his pen, tore the paper off the notebook and handed it to Jiang Wan: "You go to pay the bill first and go through the hospitalization procedures." ”

Jiang Wan took the paper and responded, "Okay." ”

The payment office is in the lobby on the first floor, the line is very long, and Jiang Wan is at the end.

The line walked forward, and there was a long line behind them.

It won't be Jiang Wan's turn soon, so she handed the payment slip into the window.

The staff inside took a look, typed the keyboard into the computer, then turned his head and spoke into the microphone at the window: "One thousand three, cash or scan the code?" ”

"Scan the code." Jiang Wan replied and took out her mobile phone from her pocket.

The staff tapped the keyboard a few more times, spread out his palm and pointed to the code scanner and said, "The phone is here." ”

At the end of a set of processes, Jiang Wan took the receipt and turned to leave.

Cheng Mingyue had already been transferred to the ward, and Jiang Wan stood outside the ward, looking in through the door glass. The small single room, with a white circle of gauze wrapped around her head, was lying sideways on the bed, covered with a thin white quilt from the hospital, and a slender dropper hanging down to the back of her hand.

Her eyebrows tightened, and her eyes sank.

Those people were so ruthless, and she regretted her mercy a little. If it is really a dead hand, those people will never have a good time.

The white sunlight hit the bed through the window, making Cheng Mingyue's face gloomy.

Jiang Wan opened the door and went in, took light steps to the window and closed the curtains, and the light in the room dimmed. She sat down in a chair next to the bed and looked straight at the person on the bed.

Scarred, old wounds have not healed, new wounds have been added.

The lips are chapped and the blood is crusted into dry crusts. The face was swollen and high, red and purple, and now it was smeared with ointment, and it was white and greasy. She was still wearing the dirty white short-sleeved dress, and her arms were pressed against the quilt and lay flat on the bed, and the bruises were exposed.

Shocking.

Jiang Wan exhaled a thin breath, and her heart was astringent.

Only at this time can she and Cheng Mingyue stay in the same room peacefully.

Even though the person in the bed was asleep, his brows were still tightly furrowed.

Jiang Wan stretched out her hand, trying to smooth her frowning brows, but when she was about to meet, she froze in mid-air.

After a moment's struggle, he withdrew his hand.

The smell of disinfectant water was in the air, the sunlight was blocked by the curtains, and the light in the room was not very sufficient.

Jiang Wan's eyelids drooped slightly, and she looked at Cheng Mingyue quietly.

Time seemed to freeze, except for the drops in the infusion bottles, everything seemed to stand still.

Cheng Mingyue's breathing is very light, her voice is very rhythmic, and the slow sound makes people relax when they listen to it.

Dingβ€”β€”

Prompt sound for mobile phone information.

Jiang Wan took out her mobile phone, lit up the screen, and the message pop-up window popped up, and Zhang Wencai asked her why she hadn't come back.

After looking at the time, it was two points out of ten.

I can't do the afternoon class.

She pondered and replied, "Family affairs, I won't go in the afternoon." ”

Jiang Wan skipped class for the first time, but she didn't expect it to be because of this reason.

Family affairs, Jiang Wan stared at the two words on the screen, and her fingers groped on it.

Such a big thing should be told to Cheng Mingyang.

Although the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is cold and estranged, after all, they are a family, and they can't never go without contact for the rest of their lives.

Now is a good opportunity, Cheng Mingyue was injured, her brother took good care of her, the two released their previous suspicions, and the relationship was restored as before.

This is exactly what Jiang Wan expected.

She clicked on the address book, and her eyes stopped at Cheng Mingyang's name.

She put her finger on the screen, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, and then hit it.

The phone rang and was connected.

"Hey, miss." A warm voice rang out over there.

"Brother Cheng......" Jiang Wan called softly.

The two didn't talk for more than a minute.

She called Cheng Mingyang, only to say that Cheng Mingyue was hospitalized with a high fever, and told him to let the kitchen cook some soft porridge and send it to the hospital.

I didn't say much about the details on the phone.

Thinking that Cheng Mingyue would be thirsty when she woke up, Jiang Wan planned to stock up on some water. She lifted the kettle, but there was no water in it.

Jiang Wan picked up the kettle and walked out lightly.

The wooden door of the ward was a little tight, and when it was opened, there was a long squeak and a long key.

Jiang Wan's hairs rose when he listened.

She froze and didn't dare to move again, and turned her head stiffly to look at the hospital bed.

Fortunately, Cheng Mingyue didn't wake up.

The boiling water room is in the middle of the corridor, separated by six or seven wards.

Jiang Wan walked over, but he had to queue up to receive water.

I heard that another water room in the same building was out of order, so I had to share this one water machine.

It took a long time to get the water.

Jiang Wan returned to the ward, pushed open the door, Cheng Mingyue woke up at some point, and sat on the bed by the head of the bed.

Probably because she heard the noise, she turned her head to look at her, but only glanced at it, and then lowered her head again.

"You're awake." Jiang Wan smiled slightly and walked over.

"Leave my business alone." Cheng Mingyue said the first sentence, and her voice was a little hoarse and dry.

Jiang Wan was silent, went to the bedside, and poured some into the glass with a kettle.

She mixed the water with cold water, so the water temperature was just right to drink.

She handed the water to Cheng Mingyue and said softly, "Drink some water first." ”

Cheng Mingyue stared at Jiang Wan for a moment, didn't answer, lowered her eyes and said, "You go out." ”

Jiang Wan held the cup, pursed her lips, put the cup on the table and said to her, "I have helped you ask for leave, you can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Cheng Mingyue clasped her hands on her lap, her eyes staring at Bai Huahua's thin quilt and stopped making a sound

The meaning of driving people away is obvious.

The wind blew in through the window and it was a little cool.

Jiang Wan was worried that Cheng Mingyue was cold, so she stood up and walked over to close the window.

Outside the window, the sky was miserably overcast and bright, and there were birds flying low.

She turned her back to Cheng Mingyue, and after taking a breath, she turned around and said, "I called Brother Cheng, and he will come over later." ”

The response was still silent.

Outside, there was thunder, the sky was miserably white, the wind was blowing, and the trees on the side of the road were rattling.

When Cheng Mingyang arrived at the hospital, he found the ward with a food box, and Jiang Wanzai was sitting in the corridor.

Seeing him coming, Jiang Wan stood up, "Mingyue needs to be hospitalized in the past two days, you can take care of her more." She explained to Cheng Mingyang, and then said, "I'll go back by myself in a while."

Cheng Mingyang hesitated a little when he heard this, "It's going to rain soon, so I'll send you!" ”

"It's fine." Jiang Wan looked into the ward through the glass, and Cheng Mingyue still maintained the same posture, leaning on the bed and looking at her phone.

"You go in, I'm leaving." Jiang Wan tilted her head slightly and said to Cheng Mingyang, and then turned around to leave.

"You ......" Cheng Mingyang wanted to say more, but when he saw the resoluteness in Jiang Wan's eyes, he finally compromised and held the words in his throat.

He watched Jiang Wan leave on the spot before pushing the door in.

Jiang Wan left the hospital building, found a stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, she took out a cigarette and lit it.

She exhaled her first puff of smoke and looked coldly at the people coming and going in the hospital through the white smoke.

Her eyes were pale in color, different from ordinary people, a bit of a silver-gray like a dollar coin, but a little deeper.

She had a brow face, a pale expression, and some impersonal indifference.

After smoking a cigarette, she stood up and walked towards the hospital gate.

When Cheng Mingyang pushed open the door of the ward with the lunch box, Cheng Mingyue was still looking down at his mobile phone, and when he came in, he turned off the screen.

The room was a little dark, Cheng Mingyang walked to the bed, put the thermos bucket on the table, and turned on the bedside lamp.

Incandescent light illuminates the dim.

Cheng Mingyang's gaze paused on Cheng Mingyue's face.

Even though the relationship between the brother and sister is not good, after seeing Cheng Mingyue's injury, Cheng Mingyang's heart is still tight.

I didn't see him for one night, and my sister was injured like this, and my brother's sense of responsibility was like a flame, which rose in an instant.

"Who got it?" Cheng Mingyang's voice was already low, and he was angry at this time, but there was no emotion in his words, he was cold, and the air pressure was very low.

Cheng Mingyue looked indifferent: "It's nothing."

"You shouldn't be so indifferent to yourself." Cheng Mingyang was a little angry, and his volume was raised unconsciously.

"You don't have to." Cheng Mingyue glanced at him and said coldly, "You can continue to be a lackey of vampires, you don't have to be hypocritical here." ”

"You!" Cheng Mingyang spit out a single note and clenched his fists.

Cheng Mingyue sneered.

Sure enough, she was poked at the pain point, and she knew that this would be the reaction.

Cheng Mingyang also noticed Cheng Mingyue's sneering and realized that he shouldn't lose his temper. He forcibly suppressed his emotions, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and released his fist to slow down his voice and said to Cheng Mingyue: "It's time for us to have a good talk."

"I don't have much to say to you." Cheng Mingyue tilted her head to the side and closed her eyes to stop looking at him.

Cheng Mingyang didn't care, and pulled a chair and sat down on the side of the bed. He continued, "I must make these things clear to you. ”

"Mom and Dad left early, I brought you up. I know you hate vampires, and I hate too, more than you do. ”

"I watched them suck up my parents' blood little by little, I hate that vampires killed my parents, and I also hate that I myself have no ability to kill them to avenge my parents."

said it with deep affection, Cheng Mingyue was a little moved.

She always thought that her brother was a thief and a father, and forgot about the blood feud with vampires.

The two hadn't talked so calmly for a long time, probably for the first time in ten years.

She opened her eyes and listened quietly.

Cheng Mingyang sat against the light, unable to see what his expression was, and his voice was very calm. "But the Jiang family is different from them, in the vampire's lair, it was Master Jiang who saved us from those things."

"Those things have taken the children, they are going to inject the blood of the Bloods into their bodies, they are going to turn people into vampires, they are the wicked people."

"They call themselves vampire hunters, but they hunt people, and they're the real vampires."

Cheng Mingyang was excited, his fists were clenched tightly, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and flames almost burst out of his eyes.

It was the first time Cheng Mingyue heard her brother talk about the reason for working for the Jiang family, but this reason was beyond her cognition, which she had never thought of.

She hung her head, fingers stirring together.

"Do you know why I keep insisting on following Miss?" Cheng Mingyang asked, and then replied by himself: "Because Miss was also poisoned by them, those people arrested Miss and drew her blood, as if taking blood from a blood bank, bag by bag." ”

Cheng Mingyue seemed to be a little moved, the fingers of both hands were slightly curved, the white quilt was wrinkled, and she grabbed it in the palm of her hand.

"At that time, the young lady was only ten years old, the same size as you were at the beginning, and I couldn't stand it. She is the daughter of our benefactor, so I want to protect her, this is my retribution, my duty, I swore it. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Mingyang paused.

"Still, Mingyue." He called her name, his voice softened, and he said word by word, "I also want to protect my sister, it is my duty, I have shouldered it since birth." ”

The words in his heart finally came out, Cheng Mingyang sighed lightly and looked at Cheng Mingyue's side face.

Cheng Mingyue didn't speak, her head was lowered, her hair hung down to cover her eyes, the yellow light hit her body, and the shell that had been hard would be a little soft.

Cheng Mingyang couldn't help but stretch out his hand and gently stroked her head.

He noticed that Cheng Mingyue was obviously stiff, his heart was pitiful, and his voice slowed down unconsciously, which was gentle he had never been before: "Tell my brother, what's wrong?"

Cheng Mingyue bit her lip and clasped her fingers together.

She didn't know what to say, she never thought that she had done wrong all along, the people she had always resented, the things she resented, and now they were all wrong.

She couldn't accept it a little, the huge amount of information refreshed her cognition, and she was silent and wanted to think about it.

Cheng Mingyang didn't urge her, she knew that her sister was not feeling well. Since the death of his parents, he has shouldered the responsibility of raising his sister and devoted himself to work, but he unknowingly neglected to care for his sister.

He had also wondered if he really had to work hard for vampires.

However, they were kidnapped by vampire hunters and said that they were their elder brothers, and he was actually seven years older than Cheng Mingyue at that time.

With two children who have no adult and no one to help, it is a question of whether they can survive in Tunan City.

If it weren't for Master Jiang finding them dying of starvation on the street, maybe the current brother and sister would have died a long time ago.

Jiang Kaiyuan took them home to be carefully healed and educated, and also enrolled them in household registration.

Cheng Mingyang didn't know why Master Jiang was so good to them, he didn't ask, but Uncle De once said that Miss was also very pitiful, and he said that he hoped that he could protect Miss like his sister.

Cheng Mingyang didn't think about it, patted his chest and promised that he would definitely protect Miss.

He knew that it was Jiang Kaiyuan who saved them and gave them a new life, so he must protect his benefactor's daughter.

But he didn't expect his sister's prejudice against vampires to be so big, he wanted to explain, but Cheng Mingyue never gave him a chance, only felt that he had forgotten his hatred and recognized the thief as his father.

After a long time, the relationship between the two became estranged, and they almost broke off contact.

He looked at Cheng Mingyue, if he had spoken up earlier and cared about his sister earlier, would their relationship not be as distant as it is now.

After a long time, Cheng Mingyue raised her head, stared at Cheng Mingyang's eyes and called, "Brother." ”
