Chapter Forty-Eight: The Past

Zhao Heng looked at Pei Yungui for a long time, his eyes gradually turned red, and his voice trembled a little, "Gui'er...... He grew so big that he didn't even recognize him. ”

Pei Yungui looked at Zhao Heng fiercely, and said in astonishment: "Uncle knows me? ”

She was a little surprised, the old man in front of her looked very angry, and Pei Yungui's memory couldn't search for this person at all.

But the past is indeed ethereal, like smoke and fog, ups and downs, only a little faint shadow appears in the spring night cloud dream, as soon as the eyes open, the faint shadow is diffused in the quiet night, Pei Yungui repeatedly wants to capture something, but he doesn't get anything.

Zhao Heng sighed, and with a continuous sound, the wrinkles on his face also dimmed and grew old.

"You were still young at that time, and it was normal not to remember these past events. You have come to seek today to ask what you want, and ask them. ”

Since Zhao Heng has said bluntly, Pei Yungui does not want to hide it.

She asked directly, with some hard-to-find eagerness in her tone, "My father has served in the Xiangyun Medical Center?" He once went to You County to help the plague, never returned, and finally died in a foreign land, who harmed them? ”

Pei Yungui was like a helpless person who fell into the water, and suddenly saw that he grabbed a life-saving straw, and after falling silent, he rekindled his hope of survival.

She asked urgently, and Zhao Heng's face gradually sank in the series of questions.

Both of them fell silent, and the only thing left in the air was the rustle of the breeze caressing the grass and trees.

After a long time, the hoarse voice belonging to Zhao Heng came melodiously.

"Your father traveled around the world, and Cheng Chun, who was familiar with medical skills, was known as Hua Tuo's reincarnation by the world, and was later known by the director of Xiangyun Medical Center, so he was included in Xiangyun and became the living signboard of the medical hall."

"After that, the plague was rampant in Youxian County, the people were struggling to make a living, the number of imperial doctors sent by Beijing was not enough, and Langzhong in various places did not want to get involved in danger, so Xiangyun Medical Hall sent all the doctors to reinforce it, who wanted to ......" Zhao Heng said here, his eyes were already teary-eyed, "When the plague occurred, the rebels were everywhere, and the Xiangyun doctors were all naked and buried under the sword." ”

When Pei Yungui heard this, he felt that his heart was very blocked, and his sadness was like a flood beast, washing away the vigilance that had been built in his heart.

Although eleven years have passed, and even though everything that happened is only through the dictation of others, Pei Yungui seems to be able to pass through the thick fog of time and return to the disaster site where evil diseases were rampant in the past.

She seemed to see the resolute and resolute look on the face of every doctor, and the hope that recolored the emaciated and numb faces of the people after receiving reinforcements.

Then, all these perseverance and hope were buried in the cold sword.

People yelled, cried for help, begged for mercy, but to no avail

The beacon fire was rekindled, the blood flowed endlessly, and the crimson sword pierced one thin chest after another, and all those benevolent healers were buried in the flames.

Zhao Heng's deep voice sounded in his ears, bringing Pei Yungui's fantasy back to reality, "Your father also died in that disaster, and when I arrived, I only found you among the homeless." ”

"Do you know who killed my father?" Pei Yungui covered up his sadness and hurriedly asked.

Zhao Heng recalled for a long time before he said slowly: "Maybe it's a rebel, maybe it's someone else, I don't know much about it, and when I arrived, I was only full of sorrow." ”

Pei Yungui's hopeful gaze went down, the clue is here, is it broken again?

Zhao Heng suddenly asked, "Do you live in the capital first?" ”

"Yes," Pei Yun returned to the look of loss on his face and replied, "In the past eleven years, I have lived in my father's senior brother Uncle Ji's house. ”

"Uncle Ji?" Zhao Heng thought for a moment, "But Ji Yanqian?" ”

"Exactly, Uncle Zhao also recognizes him?"

Pei Yungui felt that Zhao Heng should know more about her father's past than she imagined.

Could it be that he still knows her father's senior brother Ji Yongqian?

"Ji Yanqian and your father went out of the same school, and then gave up medicine to enter the office, although this person is silent, but he has many eyes, your father is an upright character, and he has never been at odds with him." Zhao Heng said in a deep voice: "He and Zhengtian have not been in contact for many years, how could he suddenly adopt you on a whim?" ”

Zhao Heng was also suspicious.

Pei Yungui shook his head.

Ji Yanqian's purpose in raising her is not pure, it is a sure thing, she wants to know what Ji Qianqian's purpose is, but the answer has been looming and cannot be found.

"Do you know where Ji Yanqian was when You County rebelled eleven years ago?"

"You doubt him?"

Pei Yungui nodded.

Zhao Heng smiled bitterly.

"My friendship with Ji Yanqian is only superficial after all, and how do I know where he was eleven years ago. But...... Before your father rushed to the aid of You County, he came to Zhengtian once, and the two talked a lot, but in the end they broke up. Zhengtian was sulking for a day, and since then, we have never seen Ji Yongqian again. ”

Unexpectedly, he later found the lost Pei Yungui and adopted her.

Pei Yungui's eyes shrank, and coldness flashed on his face.

What did he do with his father, but it was before his father came to the aid of You County.

Is it really that coincidental?

You County is disrupted, what kind of role does Ji Yongqian play?

When his parents died, did he act as a helping hand behind him?

In the wilderness, wild beasts fight, the victor will plunder the offspring of the loser, and if he kills his father, why should he spare his own life.

What kind of existence is you?

Pei Yungui scratched his ears and cheeks.

But the most important point is not clear.

Perhaps her guess was right, Ji Yanqian was inextricably linked to the Youxian plague, and perhaps he also acted as an extremely important member of the rebels.

And Ji Yongqian has a relationship with the people behind the horse farm.

The nightmare of eleven years has not yet dissipated, and it has turned into a blade hanging over the people of Daqi, waiting for a suitable time before it quietly falls.

The racecourse tragedy was just the beginning; The children of the scholars who unfortunately died in the horse farm were only the first dish at the beginning of the blood sacrifice.

As she thought, the peaceful day of Daqi is probably coming to an end.

It's just that I don't know what Ji Yanqian said to her father that day, and whether the content of their conversation was a direct factor in the death of her parents.

Pei Yungui didn't know anything.

Perhaps only the parties are clear.

Pei Yungui hid layers of conjectures in his heart, and returned a grateful smile to Zhaoheng.

Today's trip, although the harvest is not big, but it has finally broken a hole, Pei Yungui bowed slightly, and thanked him, "Thank you for Zhaobo's answer, Yungui has nothing to ask." ”

Zhao Heng suddenly looked at her like a distraction, and a layer of sadness was shrouded in the vicissitudes of life.

"Gui'er, you said that over the years, you really lived in the Ji family in the capital?" As if he wanted to reconfirm the truth of his words, he asked word by word.

Pei Yungui froze, and then, she nodded with a light smile.

"Ji Yanqian...... How are you treated? Zhao Heng's voice trembled again.

In fact, there is no need to ask this question, and the answer is about to come out.

But Zhao Heng still cautiously confirmed, as if only by tearing the scar Chicheng in front of his eyes and feeling the pain in his heart could he make up for the guilt of losing Pei Yungui in the past.

Yes, when he found the young Pei Yungui, he took her all the way to the Central Plains, running all the way. The money was gone, the food was gone, and the two were hungry.

He had no choice but to beg for food, and when he came back, there was no sign of the girl, and only an empty and bleak street corner was left for him.

He broke down and cried, like a lost urchin, searching inch by inch along the dilapidated streets, but finding nothing.

Pei Yungui is really gone.

Because of his thoughts, all the lives of the hospital were lost, and because of the second negligence, he lost his old friend's only daughter.

Zhao Heng has been guilty for eleven years, and he has regretted it for eleven years.

Unexpectedly, he was living in a corner of the suburbs of the capital, but the orphan girl who was lost was under the fence in the capital.

He thought that he could no longer make up for the mistakes of the year, but he didn't know that the opportunity had always been in front of him.

How to sigh that a world is impermanent.

Zhao Heng raised his eyes, and his somewhat cloudy eyes were filled with vastness.

Pei Yungui froze, being watched by Zhao Heng's worried gaze, and she suddenly became at a loss.

The psychology is sweet, and there is some bitterness, the two are intertwined, and finally it turns into a grievance.

That's a kind of grievance that juniors have to their elders.

No one has ever ......

No one ever asked her how she was doing.

As if a family-like greeting, Pei Yungui thought that he would never hear it in his life.

She has no family, and the only person who loves her has long been separated by yin and yang.

Pei Yungui opened her mouth, with a thousand words between her lips and teeth, she had a lot of sadness to tell the old man in front of her, but when she lowered her eyes and sighed, it only turned into three simple words, "It's good." ”

Pretty good.

It's all gone.

Pretty good.

She has a new path to follow.

Zhao Heng was already in tears.

How can the life under the fence be good, not to mention that under the roof of Ji Yanqian's hypocrite, there is still a mean housewife living under the eaves.

Pei Yungui must have been unable to move an inch over the years.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry." Pei Yungui smiled lightly: "Yungui has now moved out of the Ji Mansion and has his own house, the house is big and beautiful, and it is comfortable to live in!" ”

Zhao Heng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "That's fine...... That's good ......" After speaking, he laughed again, "You were still a small radish, and you didn't grow as tall as the dog's tail in front of the medical hall, and your mother was worried that you wouldn't grow tall, but I didn't expect you to be so slim now." In this way, I can be regarded as having an explanation to your parents. ”

Pei Yungui also smiled, his eyebrows stretched, revealing a sincere smile that he hadn't shown for a long time.

Zhao Heng pulled Pei Yungui and told her a lot of interesting stories when she was a child.

Pei Yungui has no more impressions of these past events, but Zhao Heng said it vividly, and she was fascinated by it.

In the midst of relaxation and pleasure, time always slips away, and it is time for Pei Yungui to say goodbye.

Before parting, Pei Yungui wanted to take Zhao Heng to his home so that the old man could enjoy his old age in peace, but Zhao Heng shook his head and refused.

"I was originally a person who had half of my body into the loess, and for the rest of my life, I just wanted to spend the rest of my life guarding the old ruins of the Xiangyun Medical Center, the capital is a place that makes me sad, and I don't want to set foot again."

Pei Yungui thought about it and didn't insist anymore.

Since she is determined to thoroughly investigate the affairs of her parents, she will definitely be involved in the dirty whirlpool of the government center in the future.

Pei Yungui nodded, thanked him, and said goodbye to Zhao Heng.
