Chapter 118(1/2)
When I arrived in Nanjing, my trip finally slowed down completely.
No matter how long Song Lin's hand is, it is impossible for him to reach Nanjing.
Yue Dingtang is here, after all, he is considered half a local snake.
The two even had time to stroll around the banks of the Qinhuai River and tasted a few bites of salted duck, osmanthus, lotus root and crab roe buns.
It's time to change the wound. After being treated in a hurry from the Northeast, I went south all the way. In order to avoid Mr. Song's eyes and ears, I took a shower and changed my clothes at most, so I had no time to re-check and disinfect the wound.
Yue Dingtang found a familiar Western medicine clinic and brought Ling Shu to his house.
The doctor was in a panic when he saw Yue Dingtang, his eyes lit up and he shouted.
"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, it's rare to see your young master Yue visiting him in person. Is this a doctor?"
Yue Dingtang: "You can't come to see you without medical treatment?"
The doctor smiled strangely: "Of course, I am flattered, but you let me down on my affection back then. I didn't even leave a word and left without saying goodbye. I suddenly appeared today. Could it be to make up for the unfaithfulness that day?"
At first glance, the two seem to have a deep connection.
When Yue Dingtang saw Ling Shu showing a look of watching a show, he had to explain a few more sentences.
"His surname is Ji, Ji Zhuting, and he is also my alumnus. Do you still remember Dr. Liu who treated us in the Northeast? He is a classmate of Liu Zhen and a follower of Liu Zhen. When he saw someone studying Western medicine, he followed him. When he saw someone studying surgery, he followed him."
"What is a follower? I can't learn medicine? He prescribed medicine in the world?" Dr. Ji showed dissatisfaction. When he was halfway through his words, he suddenly realized, "Wait! The surname Liu is in the Northeast?!"
Yue Dingtang: "Liu Zhen went to Nanjing, and you followed him to Nanjing. Who knew that he had a fake shot and evaporated the world and deceived you. Isn't it a bad feeling?"
Dr. Ji: "Where is he in the Northeast?"
Yue Dingtang answered the question: "Doctor Ji, we are here to check the wound."
Ji Zhuting stared at Yue Dingtang, who refused to let him go.
It’s better for Dr. Ji to lose first.
"let me see."
Ling Shu, who was born after Yue Dingtang.
"Let's show him first."
"Tsk tsk, this is a gunshot wound. You are lucky. There are no bullet fragments left in it. Is it the surgery that someone named Liu did on you?"
"Have you not rebanded it all the way? The wound has become a little pustic. If you come late one or two days later, it will be infected with bacteria. Maybe you will have to amputate your limbs. Fortunately, you meet me!"
"What, look, Liu Zhen's technique is not as good as mine, right?"
"Where is he in the northeast? Can you tell me now? Or is he not letting you say it?"
Dr. Ji was nagging, but he never stopped.
Yue Dingtang finally couldn't bear it anymore: "He is in Fengtian!"
Dr. Ji was proud: "Will you finish it if you were so happy?"
Yue Dingtang frowned: "You don't want to chase Fengtian, are you?"
Dr. Ji sneered: "I have a family and a job here, why do you want to go to Fengtian? You don't know where it is now?"
Yue Dingtang: "I see you are ready to move, but you are right and wrong, but it is true."
Dr. Ji: "The person surnamed Liu still owes me money. Can't I ask a few questions?"
Yue Dingtang: "Just owe money?"
Dr. Ji stopped talking.
He lowered his head and disinfected Yue Dingtang's arm.
"You'd better stay here for two more days, come here to change the dressing once a day, don't run around with injuries, and turn around and one hand is ruined and the other's legs are ruined, just in time to make up for the world."
Yue Dingtang said: "We have already bought the ticket. We will go back to Shanghai later. We will be home in eight hours. We will be home tonight. It will not be too late to find a clinic to change the dressing tomorrow."
Dr. Ji stopped persuading him.
"What did you do in the Northeast this time? Why did you get gunshot wounds? Liu Zhen was also injured?"
Yue Dingtang raised his eyebrows: "Do you ask us or ask him?"
Dr. Ji: "Everyone asked."
Yue Dingtang: "Private affairs are inconvenient to talk about."
Dr. Ji twitched the corners of his lips: "Liu Zhen is also your private matter?"
Yue Dingtang: "He was not injured, but I just called him to help with an operation. He was doing well in Fengtian, like a fish in water and was happy. What else do you want to know?"
After disinfecting and cleaning the wound, Dr. Ji used gauze to wrap around his arm several times and finally tied a knot.
"I heard about the news of an old friend and asked a few more questions."
"Doctor Ji, there is a patient coming to your house, please come out."
The nurse appeared at the door.
Dr. Ji got up and clapped his hands, took off his gloves and mask.
"You guys are here for a while first, I'll go see other patients."
Through the door, a faint voice sounded outside.
Ling Shu did not participate in their conversation just now and was already drowsy. He was shocked by the movements when Dr. Ji left, but he was a little more awake.
"Have you changed your medicine? Then let's go."
Yue Dingtang looked down at his pocket watch, "It's still early before the train departure time, let's take a rest here."
Ling Shu tilted his head: "I heard that your elder brother is in Nanjing, why don't you go and see him?"
"He is busy with official business, and I guess he has no time to see me." Yue Dingtang shook his head, paused and said, "There was an ambiguity within the Yue family when he was attending the funeral for Mr. Guan. My elder brother did not agree to go there. My second brother had a fight with him, so he asked me to pay his respects in private. If the elder brother saw me, he would have to ask about this matter. Then he would have to find an excuse to explain. It would be better to save some trouble."
Ling Shu sighed: "Actually, I used to envy you!"
Yue Dingtang looked at him.
Ling Shu: "You not only have Sister Chunxiao, but also two brothers. When the Ling family was in decline, my sister sent me abroad. At that time, I was very worried that she would stay in the country alone. If there were brothers, she would have to take care of her no matter how much."
Yue Dingtang: "So, did Sister Ling Yao get married after you left home?"
Ling Shu nodded: "I didn't expect that I would have a brother-in-law after I went back. I heard that my sister applied for a proofreader at a newspaper after I left. I heard that she was the first woman hired by the newspaper. The editor-in-chief couple thought that my sister was smart and down-to-earth. She often invited her to dinner at home and introduced her brother-in-law to her, so they got married. I owe her a lot. If I didn't take away all the money from the family, maybe she wouldn't have to marry herself in such a hurry. My sister is so fond of wearing new clothes. After getting married, she would wear several skirts back and forth, but she didn't buy new ones. I bought her a piece of fabric. In the past, she would only dislike it because it was not new enough, but now she said I wasted money."
Yue Dingtang finally knew why Ling Shu was so angry when he saw Ling Yao, and he rarely talked about him when he was scolded. It turned out that he was using this method to express his guilt towards his sister.
He has always been like this, looking very ostentatious, but actually very careful.
Only such care has never been used on myself.
"So, now my sister's request to me is not too much, I will follow her."
Yue Dingtang raised his eyebrows, "She asked you to get married, why didn't he see you obey?"
Ling Shu spread his hands: "Then there must be a suitable candidate, right? I like me so many times, and I will marry them all? Then I have no objection. Do you have any objections? But let's forget it. When I saw my sister quarrel with my brother-in-law, I felt a headache and wanted to be invisible immediately. Having said that, I heard that your elder brother married two, what do you think?"
Yue Dingtang was speechless: "It's not me who married him, what can I think?"
Ling Shu: "Don't your sister-in-law and your little sister-in-law quarrel and compete for favor every day?"
Yue Dingtang: "They will secretly be jealous, but they will never argue in front of my elder brother. It turned out that when my elder brother wanted to marry his concubine, my elder sister-in-law opposed it and moved me and the second brother to persuade my elder brother. However, if the elder brother doesn't live with us, we can't control his affairs. My elder sister-in-law can't do anything to him when she sees him, so she has to acquiesce."
Ling Shu yawned: "What's next?"
"Later, they started to fight openly and secretly. Both of them were human spirits. In front of their elder brother, one was virtuous and the other was virtuous, and they were even more gentle and obedient than the immortals who came down to earth. As soon as my elder brother left, the two of them immediately showed their true colors and swayed their claws. After all, my elder sister-in-law was in a position, and my elder brother never thought about divorce, but the concubine was more pampered. They checked and balanced each other. My elder brother pretended to be like watching a monkey show, enjoying their service."
Yue Dingtang didn't hear the response, turned his head and saw that he was drowsy and couldn't help laughing.
It turns out that this guy is using their family affairs as a bedtime story?
He finally found an opportunity to open his heart to tell him about the Yue family. These things are hard to listen to even outsiders, so why is this person so ungrateful?
He poked the other person's arm without any response.
Ling Shu tilted his head and leaned against the back of the chair, and had already played chess with Mr. Zhou until the sky was dark.
Yue Dingtang sighed.
"Lingshu."
The words are expressed in two words, and there are thousands of words behind them, but they can't speak out no matter how hard they are.
Many words have been said in my memories and in my heart.
There seems to be no difference between speaking or not.
Anyway, the other party doesn't know.
What Yue Dingtang wants to ask even more is—
What did you think when you were kissed by yourself in the underground of Guanyin Temple that day?
"Lingshu."
I really want to lock his footsteps in this way and tie them tightly to him, so that he can't fly even if he wants to spread his wings.
