Sapphire case

45.

In fact, Gu Sheng had been sweating intermittently on the train.

His body was weak, and he had been tortured to death by Jiang Cheng before, so Du Han gave him some antipyretic medicine at the embassy, ​​but he didn't suppress it at all, and the low fever continued on the way.

In fact, at that time, whether it was his physical strength or energy, he had reached the end of his strength. Before getting into the car, he still had some mentality similar to that of a desperado to support him to go down until he really stood on the land of Yingzhou. , that kind of spiritual will was replaced by the joy of finally getting rid of Jiang Cheng, huge physical and mental fatigue swept over, and the clarity that he had tried to maintain before no longer existed.

Boss Yu sent someone to arrange a place for him. It was an old-style courtyard relatively far away from human habitation. Gu Sheng took the key and opened the door. He didn't even have time to change the mattress and passed out beside the bed.

... The moment he fainted, he felt a little vague and strangely relaxed.

At that moment, Gu Sheng knew very clearly that when he passed out, in this unfamiliar and remote corner of the south of the Yangtze River, he would probably fall asleep forever.

A vague thought about Jiangnan supported him all the way here. He should be reluctant to let go of this hard-won opportunity, and he didn't feel the slightest regret for his near-death situation, and he even didn't want to struggle. up.

It was as if a long and endless nightmare had finally come to an end. Maybe it would be bright when waking up, but it was so heavy that people didn't even have the strength to open their eyelids.

He was so tired, tiredness overwhelmed him like a monstrous flood, and the breath of death brought incredible peace.

it is finally over.

Gu Sheng thought, it's finally over.

So when he woke up, he fell from the sky with a huge sense of trance that he didn't know what night it was, and he was indescribably lost like a world falling apart.

That kind of loss is so shocking, it's almost absurd and ridiculous.

Curtains were hung on the carved edge of the canopy bed, and a soft and thick quilt was tucked into the body, and the whole person was sunken in the mattress on the bed.The dusty tabletops and bedsides have been carefully wiped, and the cleaners seem to take the trouble, even the hollow copper pieces of the drawer padlocks have been cleaned up, satin cushions are placed on the chairs in front of the table, Yang Xianzheng Sitting on it with Erlang's legs crossed to flip through the book, he dropped the book and jumped over:

"Are you awake? I'm going, thank God! Come! Take your temperature!"

Without saying a word, he wiped the thermometer with alcohol cotton from the bedside, raised his hand and stuffed it into Gu Sheng's mouth, Gu Sheng hid in it vigilantly, the throbbing pain in his body instantly made him turn pale.

His voice was so hoarse that he asked almost out of breath, "Why are you here?"

"Me!" Yang Xian patted his thigh, and while he opened his mouth, he stuffed the thermometer in, then turned around and went to look through his medicine box on the table, "It's a long story! Hmm...you eat this first."

Yang Xian poured him a glass of water, and walked over with the medicine box: "Hey, be careful...put your head up..."

Gu Sheng took the cup, still staring at him.Yang Xian sighed, dragged the chair over and sat down beside him, and said in a low voice, "To be honest... I didn't understand what was going on. It wasn't that... The Hengzhou Uprising failed. You have heard the radio, right? The Beijing-Northern Army and the four factions in the South jointly suppressed it. In short... Of course, people with ideals will not give in... Our club was also implicated. It was too chaotic at the time. A group of people rushed in and dragged me out. It’s been locked up day and night for many days, maybe half a month? I don’t know either... Hey, take two slices, right.”

He opened the other medicine box, peeled off the capsules and poured them to Gu Sheng, who nodded.

"I don't know why..." Yang Xian scratched his head and lowered his voice, "Maybe the matter has calmed down? But I didn't see my former classmates... Anyway, I was released suddenly. I look like an official. Someone took me by the hand and talked nonsense... Maybe I did something great before that saved my life, and I didn't figure it out. In the end I was brought here, here you are, If it wasn't for me, you would have died yesterday."

He thought about it seriously, and added: "Oh no, the day before yesterday."

Gu Sheng squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, Yang Xian took out the thermometer, sighed that luckily the fever subsided, and urged him to take the medicine quickly.

Gu Sheng took the medicine as promised, and asked him: "You tell me so much? Are you not worried that I will expose you later?"

Yang Xian was obviously stunned for a moment. This young man who was committed to the revolutionary struggle obviously lacked the necessary experience in human relations. He looked at Gu Sheng with a blank expression that had never thought about this issue, and turned pale with shock. Say "Yes"!

Gu Sheng felt that the medicine might be stronger, and now his head hurts even more.

"Forget it, I won't." Gu Sheng didn't bother with this question any more, and was a little too lazy to test him, so he asked instead, "You also cleaned this room? It's really hard work on you."

"Uh..." Yang Xian hesitated for a moment, avoiding the topic, "It's nothing... You are still not in good health, and you have to go to a big hospital to see some problems. I can't tell for the time being... Now first Rest, I will find someone to bring you some traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate some other day."

Gu Sheng looked at him, his eyes darkened, he didn't say anything, and he stopped after thanking him.

Yang Xianguo kept his promise, knocked on his door the next day and brought a medicine bag, and brought a medicine pot and a stove together. At that time, Gu Sheng slept more and woke up less, and looked at him in a daze. Tossing and asking him casually where he got the utensils and whether his life is well off.

Yang Xian made a surprise, and then explained that he was doing odd jobs in a Chinese medicine clinic, and this was done on credit with his monthly money.

Pretending to study the prescription, he sneaked a look at the person on the bed, but when he saw that Gu Sheng didn't look at him, he closed his eyes and fell asleep on his side, only seeing a thin silhouette outside, he was slightly relieved.

He is really not a person who is used to lying. If Gu Sheng asked a few more questions just now, he might have to tell everything he knows.

He didn't know much, but when Gu Sheng was still in a coma a few days ago, he hurried back from the Chinese medicine clinic to take care of him, and accidentally saw a man who looked very different from the common people here coming out of the yard, He got into a car without a license plate and left.

The man seemed to deliberately stagger the time with him. Whenever Yang Xian saw him, the man either just came out of the house or got into the car to leave.The wide windbreaker collar blocks the man's face, and from a distance, it makes people feel that this man is cold and difficult to approach. The tall and broad back falls in the fallen leaves of camphor in spring, and there is a sense of desolation that comes from nowhere.

When Yang Xian enters the house, he often finds that the medicine boxes and needles that he didn't have time to clean up before he left have been taken away, and the messy bed curtains have also been cleaned up. The porridge and side dishes on the table and the large amount of money are a bit too eye-catching.

...with as few minds as Yang Xian, after experiencing many things, looking at the current situation, it is inevitable to be linked to the rumors that have been circulating for a long time.

——The Beijing warlord has a deep-rooted love for a Liyuan opera actor, and he is so crazy that he ignores the pain of national hatred and family feud, killing brothers and fathers, destroying the family, and quietly hiding him, with deep affection and no regrets!

This kind of frivolous frivolous news is often seen in newspapers and attracts people's attention. In essence, it is a trick of some boring reporters. Yang Xian, adhering to the nobility of intellectuals, often dismisses it.

A while ago, the incident in the north of Beijing was quite violent. After the death of the eldest son of the Jiang family, the eldest son of the family, the housewife Song family was killed one after another. The hottest successor of the third generation of the Song family went abroad on the night of the incident... All kinds of bizarre incidents erupted in a short period of time, and became more and more confusing under the influence of folk rumors. , All kinds of gossip spread from various channels.

Among them, the most absurd, but also the most reliable, is the one mentioned above.Later, it was also passed on as a legend:

Jiang Chengqiang, the second son of the Jingbei warlord, robbed the actor, but he provoked an old man who came to seek revenge. That person was the reincarnation of the soul who had died unjustly under the Jingbei army. family.

This rumor really has the taste of a ghost story, and most of what is said is based on speculation, and in a sense, most of what is said is actually true.

People's attention has thus turned to the man who murdered the head of the Jingbei Army and Jiang Cheng. There are different opinions, but Jingbei's attitude towards the murderer has always been ambiguous, so that "Jiang Cheng will never forget his old love for his old sweetheart, and he is willing to risk the world's displeasure." The saying of hiding that person" is popular and widely circulated, and it also means that he is convinced that the actor Jiang Cheng forced to get his hands on is the real murderer.

At first, Yang Xian felt that these rumors were too far-fetched to be credible, but when he saw with his own eyes that the man came to visit Gu Sheng while he was unconscious, it was quite close to... After a warm move, he contacted him and was released from prison After coming out of the experience, I was horrified to find that those rumors were very likely to be true.

He also thought of the man who was with him when he first met Gu Sheng who had been supporting their club in Chang County, Huainan, who seemed to be completely different from him.

This kind of cognition hit Yang Xian like a bolt from the blue, making him sit in the Chinese medicine hall for a long time without recovering.Frantically, he dug out a lot of news about current events in the hospital, and finally confirmed his guess.

——The tall, lonely and desolate figure hovering inside and outside the courtyard is probably Jiang Cheng himself.

He never insisted on a thorough investigation of the matter as stated in the report, and gave a proper explanation to many parties including the Shen family, the Feng family, and the Japanese. He didn't even want to give an explanation to his own family, nor did he He hated the so-called "missing" actor so much that he wanted to kill him. From the very beginning, he knew who the person who committed such a heinous crime was, and where he went, even when he was seriously ill and fell into a coma. On this occasion, I personally flew to Jiangnan to pick up all kinds of trivial matters.

And, almost without leaving a trace, find a credible person to help.

Most of Yang Xian's conjectures were correct, except for one point, he was completely wrong.

That is the complexity of Jiang Cheng's feelings for Gu Sheng, to a certain extent, he really hated him to the bone, wishing to peel off the skin and bones to eat quickly.
