Sapphire Warriors

Haruko came to the hut in the outskirts again with the food box, but this time, she didn't come to persuade him with nice words. She thought about it, if Sakuragi refused to cheer up again, she would scold him until he woke up.

Standing in front of the door of the hut, Haruko made a good decision in her heart, and then gently opened the door of the hut. Sure enough, Sakuragi was still hiding in the straw pile in the corner.

Haruko stepped forward, handed him the food box, and asked, "It's been so many days, what are your plans?"

"You are so annoying, you come to talk to me every time." Sakuragi turned his head, unwilling to talk to her.

"I'm only talking about you for your own good. It doesn't matter if you don't accept my feelings. What about Sister Miyuki? Do you even ignore her? Do you know that she is so worried about you that she is so emaciated."

"Enough is enough, I've told you many times, don't mention her anymore."

"What? Your heart hurts when you mention sister Meixue? So you still have feelings. If you care about her so much, don't make her sad anymore, don't let her cry for you anymore."

"Yes, yes, I not only made her cry, I also made her hurt. People like me are useless, they will only hurt people a lot. Just let me fend for myself and degenerate, you come See what I'm doing, let's go, let's go." After speaking, Sakuragi took the food box and hid in the corner on the other side, and started to eat.

Haruko refused, stepped forward and grabbed his wrist and said, "Look at what you look like now, don't eat!"

"Let go!"

"Don't let it go!"

"Let go!"

"Don't let it go!"

Sakuragi couldn't resist Haruko, dropped the steamed bun in his hand, and said, "You don't want to let it go, right? I won't eat it at the worst, can I still starve to death?" After finishing speaking, he picked up the moldy steamed bun and ate it .

"You are really hopeless!" Haruko stood up angrily, and said loudly to Sakuragi: "I'm stupid, I believe every word you say, you said that you want sister Miyuki to live a good life and live up to expectations, now, You can't stand even small setbacks, you'd rather eat moldy steamed buns than go out to meet people, you're nothing but a shrinking turtle!"

After speaking, Haruko left the hut without looking back.She was disappointed, she was really disappointed, she thought Sakuragi was an upright man, but she was so vulnerable.

……

After leaving the hut, Haruko went to the vegetable market and bought some side dishes that Mari liked to eat, then went to the tailor shop to pick out the fabrics that Mari liked, and finally went to the rouge gouache shop and bought some The peach rouge that Marie ordered her to.After this big circle, when she returned to Tianxiang Tower, it was almost You hour.

Coincidentally, when she passed Miyuki's room, she heard Sakuragi's voice!

It turned out that after Haruko left, Sakuragi thought about it a lot. He thought about it for a long time. He remembered the flood in his hometown that year. The flood destroyed his home, and then the plague broke out.At this time, a girl ten years older than him who fled together held his little hand.

The girl took him to the capital to beg together, because she was penniless, because she had nothing to live on, and in order to make ends meet, the girl had to sell herself into a brothel in the end, and that girl was Miyuki.

But what about Sakuragi?Because of a little setback, afraid of being looked down upon, afraid of being laughed at, and hiding here as a turtle for the rest of your life?If my sister had faced the predicament with such an attitude back then, the two of them would have starved to death long ago!

The same person, why can my sister risk her youth for herself, regardless of others' spurning, bet on her life's happiness, and use her thin shoulders to bear the burden of their lives.And you can't?Thinking of this, Sakuragi couldn't stay any longer, he wanted to tell his sister, holding her hand, it should be his hand...

After a storm, the sky cleared up, and the next morning, Sakuragi found Haruko and asked her why she hid at the door and eavesdropped.It was only then that Haruko knew that Sakuragi had already discovered her, and when she was about to apologize, Sakuragi first said sorry to her and thanked her for the blow that day.

The two were talking when Yang Ping came over.

When Yanghei saw Sakuragi, he immediately said: "It's good to come back, so that someone will lose their souls." After speaking, he glanced at Haruko.

Unexpectedly, Sakuragi was so stupid that he didn't notice his slight expression, and asked back: "Are you talking about my sister?"

Yanghei laughed and joked, "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as they are fine. Haruko, isn't it?"

When Haruko heard this, she blushed immediately, and left in a hurry under the pretext that she had something to do...

That night, Tengzhen was busy in Bai'an Hall until [-]:[-] o'clock. When he sent the last patient away and walked out of the hospital, it was already dark, and the Wu Zang Temple was very noisy because there was no food for sacrifices.

Tengzhen locked the door, guessing at this time, except for the noodle stall at the entrance of Wuyi Alley, the other shops must have closed.Helpless, he had no choice but to go to the small stall at the entrance of the alley.

Maybe it's fate, maybe it's something else, coincidentally, this night, Nan Lie was also busy at the Ministry of Criminal Justice until Xushi, and he was also too busy to eat, and he also remembered the noodle stall at the entrance of Wuyi Lane, just like that, Teng Zhen And Nan Lie staged an "unexpected encounter".

When Teng Zhen arrived at the noodle stall, Nan Lie was already sitting at the table, drinking wine silently.

Seeing this, Fujima took the medicine box and sat down at Nan Lie's table without saying a word, and said, "You don't mind if I sit down?"

"Even if you mind, you will sit." Nan Lie took a sip of Bai Gan and said.

"Yeah. Drinking alone is boring." After Fujima finished speaking, he asked the noodle stall owner for another plate of pig ears and goose slices.

Seeing this, Nan Lie asked, "Don't you try it before ordering?"

When Tengzhen heard it, he felt that it made sense, so he picked up the chopsticks, picked up the duck tongue that Nan Lie ordered in advance, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and praised: "The marinade is very tasty."

At this time, the noodle stall owner brought up the pig ears and goose slices that Fujima had called just now.

Tengzhen picked up a piece of goose slice and chewed it twice, and immediately felt that it had no taste at all, so he put down the goose slice and went to pick up the pig's ear again, the same thing, it was so bland and tasteless, he couldn't help frowning.

Nan Lie looked at him and thought he was very cute, so he kindly reminded him: "Except for the duck's tongue, everything else here..." Nan Lie waved his hand quietly, meaning "it's not very good".

"Then you didn't tell me sooner."

"Everyone has different tastes. I thought you like something light." Nan Lie took a cup and put it in front of Tengzhen, poured Baigan for him, and then poured another cup for himself. Said: "The next pot will be on your account."

What a haggle!Fujima slandered, but still agreed, and then took a sip of the baigan in front of him, and almost didn't spit it out.So Nan Lie said: "There are few customers here, so it's difficult to do business."

"I've seen you come here a few times before, and I thought you came here because the food here is delicious." Fujima said.

"How can a street stall compare to Wangjiang Tower?"

"Then what do you want?"

"Be quiet, but tonight..."

Teng Zhen instantly understood what he meant, put away his smile, and said, "Then I'll sit back over there." After speaking, he wanted to take the medicine box and leave, but Nan Lie held his hand.

Nan Lie's palm is broad and warm.At the moment of touching, a blush stained Fujima's cheeks. Fortunately, it was night, and he guessed that Nan Lie might not have noticed it, but how could he know that it had already fallen into Nan Lie's eyes.

Nan Lie took his hand and said: "Don't leave, you promised, the pot of Baigan will be on your account." After speaking, without waiting for Tengzhen to answer, he turned back and called the boss to come.At this time, Fujima quietly withdrew his hand, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After the boss sent Bai Gan, he withdrew.

Nan Lie filled a cup for Tengzhen, then glanced at the goose slices and pig ears on the table, and couldn't help frowning. He didn't need to guess and knew that Tengzhen would definitely not eat any more, so he thoughtfully moved them away and put The duck tongue was pushed in front of Fujima.

It was just a small move, but the smile on the corner of Fujima's mouth couldn't help deepening, he said: "Sakuragi is back, the siblings should be fine."

But Nan Lie replied with some meaningful words. He said that even if the wound scabs over, it doesn't mean it won't hurt. There is always a drop of tear that will make a person grow. Everyone walks like this...

Master Huagata's illness is getting worse and worse!I bought a lot of pens, inks, papers and inkstones with my family's money, and went to the seafood shop, spent all the little money left at home, and bought a bunch of precious things such as abalone, goose palm, fish maw, sea cucumber, and jelly. The ingredients, and then came back and told Fujima that he wanted to eat abalone and goose palm, stewed sea cucumber with fish maw and mushroom, and rock sugar jelly.This made Fuji really embarrassed, because Master Huagata just had lunch half an hour ago.

Fortunately, Nan Lie came back at this time, so Teng Zhen hurriedly asked him to accompany Master Huaxing to play chess, and then fooled Master Huaxing.

In the evening, when Fujima came back to Yushifu from the medical center, Xiaolian came to tell him that Mr. Huagata was in his room, tearing up his books, and there was nothing to stop him.

Fujima has never been so anxious as he is now. He doesn't know which book Master Huagata is tearing up. If it's just an ordinary medical book, it's fine. .

When I walked to the door, I could only hear the baby crying, while the master Huaxing was tearing up the book and muttering: "Our Huaxing family has been an official for generations, but you are not doing serious business, just writing these nonsense novels..."

Tengzhen put down the medicine box, took a step forward, and tried to stop him: "Shibo, don't tear it up, this is the last book of Ah Tou. It is also my only thought."

"What is the last book, what is the only thought, I don't blame you yet, if you didn't get close to him and pamper him, how could he be so depraved!? In the future, I will see one of these books and tear one up. See if he dares to write it." Master Huagata condemned Fujima while tearing up the book in his hand, without any intention of stopping.

Even though Fujima has comforted himself over and over again, this is what Master Huagata said when he was confused, but these unscrupulous words still deeply hurt his heart, and he found that he had no ability to accept such a fact: that It's just that Master Huaxing never forgave them and agreed with them from the beginning to the end. To this day, this knot is still entangled in the old man's heart and lingers.

Thinking of this, Fujima no longer had the strength to stop him, until Master Hanagata questioned him: "Where is Ah Tou, is he in the study? Is he writing those novels about love with broken sleeves again? I'll go find him right now!"

"Uncle, Ah Tou has already left..."

"Gone? Where did you go? I don't care, I want to find him, I want him to be a normal person!" After speaking, Master Huagata left the room on his own, as if nothing happened just now.

Fujima stood there in astonishment, looking at the pieces of paper scattered like snowflakes on the ground, he felt his heart was bleeding, he held back the tears swirling in his eyes, squatted down slowly, and cleaned up the mess.Master Huaxing is right. If he hadn't been close to Huaxing when he was studying in a private school, perhaps Huaxing would be like other officials, taking official careers, getting fame, marrying wives and having children, and shining in the family.It was him who was not good, it was he who missed Huaxing's life, it was he who made Master Huaxing die.If he could go back in time, he would rather have a heartache than do this...

A cry came, and Tengzhen was pulled out of his old memories. He got up, picked up the child, and coaxed the baby for a long time before the baby fell asleep again.

Nan Lie was woken up by the crying of the baby. Through the window, he saw Tengzhen under the dim oil lamp, putting together a pile of paper scraps on the table. He wanted to ask him if he could help, so he walked to the door , I saw clearly that Tengzhen's eyes were red. Although he didn't know what happened, he could guess that he must have been greatly wronged.

Tengzhen is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. This is Nan Lie's perception of him. He has seen Tengzhen when he is enthusiastic and helpful, he has seen Tengzhen when he is angry, and he has seen Tengzhen when he is shivering and fearful, but only I have never seen Fujima when he was sad and crying, but it was such a tearful Fujima that touched the softest part of his heart and made him feel heartbroken.He thought he liked him.

Suddenly a gust of north wind blew, making Nan Lie who was standing at the door shudder. The shredded paper on the table was blown up by the wind and scattered all over the place. In order to pick up those pieces, Teng Zhen accidentally knocked over the The stove, the charcoal in the stove hit the shredded paper and caught fire.

Seeing that Tengzhen stretched out his hand to pick up the burning fragments, Nan Lie strode forward, but unfortunately, it was too late, and his white hand was still burnt.

Nan Lie held the scalded hand, then stomped out the fire on the ground, and said, "Don't die, you can buy the book when it's gone. If you hurt your hand, how can you be a doctor?"

Tears flowed down at this moment, and Fujima said: "I can't buy it anymore, this is an orphan copy, and it is the only thing he left me."

It was only then that Nan Lie knew that the torn book in front of him was Hua Xing's last work, and the content was about his past with Fujima. No wonder Fujima sometimes laughed and sometimes sad every time he read it.

Nan Lie lowered his head and looked at the wound on Tengzhen's hand. Without saying a word, he pulled him to the table and sat down, and said, "I'll get the medicine." Tears on the cheeks.

After a while, Nan Lie walked in with the medicine in hand, then sat across from Tengzhen, took the scalded hand, and gently applied the ointment to the wound.

"I'm useless, I promised Huaxing to take good care of this book, but I failed; I promised him to take good care of Shibo, but I didn't do it; Shibo is sick, and the family has no money. No matter how much I earn Nothing compares to Shibo's inkstone, a pile of delicacies from mountains and seas..." Speaking of this, Tengzhen raised his head, smiled wryly, and said, "It's all human life, so don't be careless. Sometimes, after a day of consultation, I feel that my bones are all dead. It's about to fall apart, I'm really tired...so tired..."

Teng is really tired, Nan Lie can see it, he treats all patients equally, and he is unwilling to charge more for consultation fees, and even pays for the medicine when he meets poor households.But he still faces life with a smile and faces everyone in the family with a smile. He always thinks his smile is so pure and happy, but it is not. It's a disguise that he forced himself to persevere... This kind of him makes Nan Lie reluctant, makes Nan Lie feel distressed, and makes Nan Lie unconsciously want to be the person by his side who can take care of him all the time.

So, he couldn't help but said to Fujima: "You have tried your best, and in the days to come, there will still be me..."

The red eye sockets from tears and the trembling shoulders from sobbing made Tengzhen even more haggard on this early winter night. Nan Lie couldn't restrain the throbbing in his heart anymore, and dragged him into his embrace... …
