Twenty-three, the hospital reunion
"Sister Yulu, let's change the dressing. Pu Cheng helped Pu Yi into the Qinghui Medical Center. Pui was struggling to move her body, and although there was a carriage coming, the few steps from the door to the store were very difficult. Pu Cheng didn't dare to slack off, he was cautious, he didn't want his sister to be injured again. He sat down slowly. And Nangong Yulu, who was sorting out the Chinese medicine cabinet, saw that they were so difficult to move, and it was inevitable that she felt a little distressed in her heart, although she had seen the wailing patients and was used to them, but she still had pity. He walked over with the herbs.
"Miss Pu, your injuries are a bit serious, why did you leave without permission yesterday?" Nangong Yulu couldn't help frowning.
"This ...... There was an emergency yesterday......" Puy's eyes darkened, and the more he spoke, the quieter he became.
"Yesterday it was me who signaled because of the case. My sister was worried about me and went to ...... It's all because I ......," Pu Cheng suddenly explained. "If it weren't for me, my sister wouldn't be like this. ”
Pu Yi looked at Pu Cheng with surprise in his eyes, because since he was a child, his sister spoke for him and protected him. This time, Pu Cheng can admit that this is a little gratifying to her.
"In that case, I suggest you stay in the infirmary, and I can arrange a room for you. Take good care of your injuries, otherwise any disease will affect your work. ”
"Okay, since Sister Yulu said it, as long as my sister can recover, that's it. Pu Cheng said gently, his psychological apologies to his sister. This guilt is pressed in the bottom of my heart, and I can't let go of it. I just don't have anything to do, so take care of Pui.
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you later. Nangong Yulu stroked Pu Yi's jade feet, and after applying the ointment, she got up and changed the bloody bandages, and picked up the basin: "Please wait here for a while, I'll go get a new muslin." ”
"Do you want me to help?" Pu Cheng wanted to follow her over and help her get the basin, but was refused.
"I'll just come, take care of your sister, and let the patient help, I won't agree. Nangong Yulu smiled. Pu Cheng nodded and watched her walk out. I couldn't help but say like Pu Yi: "Sister Yulu is so good, gentle and kind." ”
"yes. Poi agreed.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door: "Uncle Zheng! Uncle Zheng!" A middle-aged uncle who was dotting in front of the Chinese medicine cabinet suddenly turned around and looked outside the door. Then a familiar figure rushed in, this figure was dressed in white, with a white jade pendant swaying casually on his waist, an ebony folding fan and a wooden flute were inserted into his belt, and the Tang knife inlaid with twelve jade stones was pinned behind his waist. His hair was simply tied back and he walked straight in with a basket in his hand and placed it on the counter.
"Uncle Zheng, this is the medicinal material that the old man of Nangong needs, he said that these are commonly used medicinal materials, and the demand is relatively large. He pulled a note from his bosom. handed it to Uncle Zheng, "This is a list of medicinal materials, and the price is also on it, you can see it." A familiar voice crossed Puy's ear, and he was talking to Uncle Zheng with his back to Pui. She thought he was gone, and she was afraid she wouldn't see her again. I didn't expect to see him here again, but Pu Cheng, who also saw him, thought otherwise.
"Well, that's it. Uncle Zheng smiled at him, "Yazhi has really helped me a lot with you." The supplier who was originally difficult to talk to was actually moved by you. ”
"It's nothing, I should do it. Until I find something to do, I can't eat and drink here for nothing. Yazhi said modestly. He said as he wiped the sweat from his head.
Nangong Yulu walked in with a new muslin cloth. As soon as he raised his eyes and saw Yazhi, he said, "Brother Yazhi, you're back." How's it going?"
"It's settled. Yazhi turned her head to look at her. "The old man and uncle are so optimistic about me, how could I let them down?" he looked at the muslin in Nangong Yulu's hand, "Don't disturb your work, those little guys are still waiting for me." ”
After he finished speaking, he left Nangong Yulu, and his face changed instantly. Then he strode out into the courtyard. He saw them in his spare eye, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he had no choice but not to see them.
Nangong Yulu glanced at Yazhi with a deep smell, and then walked over and leaned down: "I'm sorry, let you wait." I met a child in the yard just now, so I delayed for a while. ”
"It's okay, I think it's bothering you. Pue smiled at her.
"Miss Pu is so polite. ”
"By the way, just now you called Yazhi 'brother', is he your brother?"
"Well, it's not my brother, he's my uncle's adopted son. So count me as my brother. ”
"Uncle......"
"My uncle is Nalan Rongque. The eldest son of the Nalan family. ”
"Then the jade pendant engraved with the word 'Nalan' on his body, is he really a member of the Nalan family?"
"Yes, I promise. ”
"Why is he an adopted son, but what about his parents?"
"His father and my uncle were very nice and traveled together. I guess I encountered some difficulties, I don't know. His father entrusted him to the care of my uncle. ”
"That's it, hey......" Pu Cheng suddenly sighed.
"Wait, you said they often act together, so is his father holding a knife?" Pu Cheng interrupted with a sigh. "I've never seen a knife before, it's long, it's not wide, it's like a sword but not like a sword. It's like the one on Yazhi's waist. ”
"This ...... It's not very clear, but I heard my father say that Yazhi's knife is his father's. ”
"Yes. I understand. Pu Yi carefully recalled the previous incident, but it had been too long, and the jade pendant engraved with the word 'Nalan' was especially clear.
"Why does the girl ask that?" Nangong Yulu suddenly felt interesting.
"When I was a child, I was trafficked by human traffickers. In the end, he was rescued by two people, one of whom was hanging the jade pendant. It turned out that he was really the adopted son of a benefactor. ”
"Don't tell him that I told you. He rarely talks about himself to outsiders. I just saw that he pretended not to come to you, so there was a misunderstanding between you. ”
"This ...... Truly. Because I don't trust him. When Pu Cheng heard this, his mind was full of remorse. He remembered the days when he and his sister were sent under the fence, and they were adopted as adopted sons, the same age as him. I don't mention my past to anyone else. I think of him saving them again and again, and he was misunderstood and didn't explain. Even if Yazhi explains, he won't believe it. Moreover, he is the righteous son of his benefactor. Pu Cheng laughed at himself in his heart, he might really be inferior to him. Just like Mr. Zhang said, like a child.
Pu Yi saw Pu Cheng's expression of almost crying, "Cheng'er, let's go to the arranged room." Wait until you go back to the yamen and talk to Master Zhang, and then bring some clothes. ”
"Okay, sister. Pu Cheng put away his emotions, but his heart was still sad. "You can't walk, I'll carry you. ”
"Follow me. ”
As they passed the courtyard, Pu Cheng glanced at Yazhi, who was talking to two little boys. followed Nangong Yulu into the room.
"Brother Yazhi, it's all Hu Yu's fault! Tear up the album you bought for us. A little boy who looked like he was six or seven years old cried.
"No, Brother Yazhi, it was Brother Hu who didn't show me, and pushed me, and my hands were broken. The little boy who spoke was named Hu Yu, and the little boy who was crying was named Hu Yu, who was his own brother.
"I'll look at your hands. Yazhi looked at his hand, but it was just a little scrape and bruise. The blood from the wound has coagulated.
"Why don't you let Sister Yulu give you medicine?
"If I want to find you to rely on reason, my sister's words will definitely ......"
"Okay, okay, you all have a reason for what you said, did you see that brother carrying a sister into the house just now?"
"See. I know that they are the same as Brother Yazhi, they are from the Yamen, chivalrous and moral, and they are peaceful and peaceful. I want to be like you!" Hu Fan wiped away tears.
"Let me tell you, it's a pair of sisters and brothers, the sister was injured to protect her brother, and the younger brother has been by her side to take care of her for her sister. That's a very dangerous thing, and if you're not careful, you can die. So they are guarding each other with their lives. Isn't it a bit 'immoral' for you little guy to not even borrow a book from your brother? Borrowing a book is a trivial matter, let alone such a big thing that costs one's life?" Ya Zhi said gently, at this time Pu Cheng was walking out of the house, and when he entered the courtyard, he happened to hear Ya Zhi's words. He turned to look at his half-crouched back, which stopped in place. I wanted to go up and say something, but I couldn't.
"Brother Yazhi, I was wrong, I didn't want to borrow it at that time, and my brother didn't care about books at all. I'm afraid he'll break it. And I didn't mean to hurt him. I cried when I saw him hurt. ”
"Don't cry, boys should be strong! You are an older brother, you have to set an example for your younger brother." Yazhi touched Hu Xi's head and helped him wipe away his tears.
"Brother Yazhi, in fact, I am at fault, don't blame my brother, I want to grab that book. If I had spoken to my brother properly, he wouldn't have hurt me. ”
"Yes, I know, but don't apologize to me. You didn't hurt me. You should apologize to each other. ”
"We know, I'm sorry. They held hands and apologized to each other. Yazhi was very relieved to see it, he had seen more bear children, and the two of them were obedient in the medical hall. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"You broke the album, but it's gone. I'm not going to buy you the same copy again, but I'm going to cherish it in the future, do you know?"
"Yes. We got it. ”
Yazhi looked at the two of them with a sad face, and suddenly smiled, and he took out two books from his arms: "Haha, it turns out that the book is gone." But I bought you a Thousand Words, do you like it?"
"We all like what Brother Yazhi gave us! If it weren't for my brother, we'd probably not be literate. Thank you, Brother Yazhi!"
"Remember, cherish it! I don't know how to ask Sister Yulu and me. Yazhi gave them the book.
Seeing Pu Cheng here, his heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like. Guilt made it impossible for him to stay any longer, and he turned and left.
Yazhi stood up, looked at the backs of the two brothers, and was silent for a while. At this time, Nangong Yulu walked up to him: "You should go and explain it to them." ”
"No, it's not an opportunity. I explained that they wouldn't listen either. Yazhi said calmly.
"You just told them about me. Otherwise, Pu Cheng wouldn't have looked at me like that. I hate those looks. ”
"Didn't say much. You're thinking too much. Pu Gongzi is just guilty. ”
"If you don't say it, I'm afraid he'll always be suspicious of me. Yazhi looked at Nangong Yulu, and there was a sense of helplessness in her eyes.
"It's you who care about what they think. He's just like you. People with the same fate understand better. ”
"Forget it, it doesn't matter what you said. I'm not going to do it anyway. When they get better, they'll get out of here......"
"I don't think it's that simple...... You're obviously very concerned......"
"No wonder those two imps are looking for me, you're too direct. Yazhi laughed.
"Yo, stinky boy, it's okay to preach just now. Reminds me of my bastard son-in-law!" Nangong Xiao slowly walked into the courtyard.
"Old man, you're back. ”
"Yes, Brother Yazhi, shouldn't you go and see your sister too? If you say that, those two little imps will know that you can only talk, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to trust you anymore. ”
Yazhi was taken aback, he glanced at Nangong Yulu speechlessly, and there was an expression in his eyes that he wanted to eat people, as if to say: "You actually called the old man out." ”
Nangong Yulu didn't look at him, and he had an expression that had nothing to do with him.
