The Plow

When we arrived in Nanjing, the itinerary finally slowed down completely.

No matter how long Song Lin's hand was, it was impossible for her to reach Nanjing.

Yue Dingtang is here, after all, he is considered a local snake.

The two even had time to stroll around the banks of the Qinhuai River and try a few mouthfuls of salted duck with osmanthus candied lotus root and crab roe buns.

It was time to change the dressing on the wound. After the hasty treatment in the Northeast, I went all the way south. In order to avoid Mr. Song's eyes and ears, I took a bath and changed clothes at most, so I didn't have time to re-examine and disinfect the wound.

Yue Dingtang found a familiar Western medicine clinic and brought Ling Shu to the door.

The doctor was in a panic when he saw Yue Dingtang, his eyes lit up and he let out a yo-ha.

"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. It's rare to see you, Mr. Yue, come to visit in person. Is this to see a doctor?"

Yue Dingtang: "Can't I come to see you without seeing a doctor?"

The doctor smiled strangely: "Of course it's possible, I'm flattered, but you let me down with your deep affection back then, and left without leaving a single word. You suddenly appeared today, is it because you want to make up for the betrayal of that day?"

At first glance, it seems that there is still a lot of connection between the two.

Yue Dingtang saw Ling Shu put on an expression of watching a play, so he had to explain a few more sentences.

"His surname is Ji, Ji Zhuting, and also my alumnus. Do you still remember Dr. Liu who treated us in the Northeast? He is Liu Zhen's classmate and Liu Zhen's follower. When he saw someone learning Western medicine, he followed suit. When he saw someone If he learns surgery and performs surgery, he will follow suit.”

"What is a follower? He studies medicine, so I can't learn it? He prescribes the world's medicine?" Dr. Ji showed dissatisfaction, and halfway through the conversation, he suddenly realized, "Wait! Liu is in the northeast?!"

Yue Dingtang: "Liu Zhen ran to Nanjing, and you also ran to Nanjing. Who knew that he would disappear from the world with a feint shot and deceived you. Isn't this uncomfortable?"

Dr. Ji: "Where is he in the northeast?"

Yue Dingtang answered the wrong question: "Doctor Ji, we are here to check the wound."

Ji Zhuting glared at Yue Dingtang, who refused to budge.

It was Dr. Ji who was defeated first.

"let me see."

Yue Dingtang gave way to Ling Shu behind him.

"Let's show him first."

"Tsk tsk, this is a gunshot wound, you are lucky, no bullet fragments are left in it, is it Liu who performed the operation on you?"

"Didn't you re-bandage it all the way here? The wound is a little festered. If you come a day or two later, you will get a bacterial infection. You might have to amputate your leg. It's lucky to meet me!"

"What's the matter, look, Liu Zhen's technique is not as good as mine?"

"Where is he in the northeast, can you tell now, or did he not let you tell?"

Doctor Ji rambled on and on and on and on.

Yue Dingtang finally couldn't take it anymore: "He is in Fengtian!"

Dr. Ji was proud: "Isn't it over if you are so happy?"

Yue Dingtang frowned: "You don't mean to chase after Fengtian, do you?"

Dr. Ji sneered: "I have a family and business here, why go to Fengtian? You don't know where it is now?"

Yue Dingtang: "I see that you are ready to move, and your words are duplicity, but it is true."

Dr. Ji: "The person surnamed Liu still owes me money, so I can't ask a few questions?"

Yue Dingtang: "Just owe money?"

Doctor Ji stopped talking.

He lowered his head and applied medicine to Yue Dingtang's arm.

"It's best for you to stay here for two more days, and come here to change your dressing once a day. Don't run around with your injuries. When you turn around, one hand and one leg will be crippled. It's just a matter of time."

Yue Dingtang said: "We have already bought our tickets, and we will return to Shanghai later. In eight hours, we will be home tonight. It will not be too late to go to the clinic tomorrow to change the medicine."

Doctor Ji didn't persuade him anymore.

"What are you doing to the Northeast this trip? Why did you get shot and Liu Zhen was also injured?"

Yue Dingtang raised his eyebrows: "Are you asking us or him?"

Dr. Ji: "Ask them all."

Yue Dingtang: "It's not convenient to talk about private matters."

Doctor Ji twitched the corners of his lips: "Is Liu Zhen also your private matter?"

Yue Dingtang: "He wasn't injured, he was just called by me to help with an operation. He's doing well in Fengtian, like a fish in water, and he doesn't want to leave. What else do you want to know?"

After disinfecting and cleaning the wound, Dr. Ji wrapped gauze around his arm several times, and finally tied it in a knot.

"When I first heard the news about my old friend, I just asked a few more casual questions."

"Doctor Ji, there is a patient coming, please come out."

The nurse appeared at the door.

Dr. Ji stood up, clapped his hands, and took off his gloves and mask.

"You guys rest here for a while, I'll go see other patients."

Through the door, faint voices sounded from outside.

Ling Shu didn't participate in their conversation just now, and was already drowsy, but was startled by the movement of Doctor Ji when he left, so he became more awake.

"Your medicine has been changed? Then let's go."

Yue Dingtang looked down at his pocket watch, "It's still early for the train to leave, let's rest here for a while."

Ling Shu tilted his head: "I heard that your elder brother is in Nanjing, why don't you drop by to see him?"

"He's busy with business, so he probably doesn't have time to see me." Yue Dingtang shook his head, paused, and said, "Back then, there was a ambiguity within the Yue family when I went to the funeral for Mr. Guan. My elder brother disagreed with him. There was a quarrel, so I was asked to express my condolences in private. If my eldest brother sees me, he will have to ask about it, and then he will have to find an excuse to explain it, so it's better to save a little trouble."

Ling Shu sighed: "Actually, I used to be quite envious of you!"

Yue Dingtang looked at him.

Ling Shu: "You not only have sister Chunxiao, but also two elder 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, no matter what Take care."

Yue Dingtang: "So, sister Ling Yao got 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 proofreading job at a newspaper after I left. I heard that she was the first woman hired by that newspaper. The couple thought that my sister was smart and down-to-earth, so they often invited her to dinner at home, and introduced her brother-in-law to her, and they got married. I owe her a lot. If I didn't take all the money from the family, maybe she wouldn't have You don’t need to marry yourself in such a hurry. My sister loves wearing new clothes so much. After getting married, she wore several skirts back and forth again and again, and she didn’t buy new ones. I bought a piece of fabric for her. They say I wasted money."

Yue Dingtang finally knew why Ling Shu felt guilty when he saw Ling Yao, and rarely responded when he was reprimanded. It turned out that he was using this method to express his guilt towards his sister.

He has always been like this, he looks very flamboyant, but in fact he is very careful.

Only such carefulness has never been used on myself.

"So, now my sister's request to me, as long as it doesn't go too far, I will comply with her."

Yue Dingtang raised his eyebrows, "She asked you to marry, why didn't you see that you obeyed?"

Ling Shu spread his hands: "Then there must be a suitable candidate, right? There are so many people who like me, I want to marry all of them? Then I have no objection, you can ask them if they have any objection? But forget it, let me see My sister and brother-in-law get a headache when they quarrel, and wish they could disappear immediately. Speaking of which, 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 sister-in-law fight for favor every day?"

Yue Dingtang: "They will secretly fight and be jealous, but they never quarrel in front of my elder brother. When my elder brother wanted to marry his concubine, my elder sister strongly opposed it, and even moved me and my second brother to persuade my elder brother , but the eldest brother doesn’t live with us, and we don’t care about his affairs, my sister-in-law sees that no one can do anything to him, so she has to acquiesce.”

Ling Shu yawned: "What happened next?"

"Then they began to fight openly and secretly. Both of them are human beings. In front of my elder brother, one is more virtuous than the other, and they are more gentle and submissive than the angels descending to earth. As soon as my elder brother leaves, the two of them will immediately reveal their true colors and show their teeth and claws. My sister-in-law is after all The status is there, and my elder brother never thought about divorce, but the concubine loves him more, the two check and balance each other, my elder brother pretends to be confused, just like watching a monkey show, enjoying their service."

Yue Dingtang didn't hear the response, turned his head to see that he was drowsy, and couldn't help laughing angrily.

How dare this guy listen to their family affairs as a bedtime story?

He managed to find an opportunity to open his heart and tell him about the affairs of the Yue family. Outsiders would not be able to hear these matters. Why is this person so ignorant of good and evil?

He poked the opponent's arm, but there was no response.

Ling Shu tilted his head and leaned against the back of the chair, already playing chess with Zhou Gong until the sky was dark.

Yue Dingtang sighed.

"Ling Shu."

After exporting two words, there are thousands of words behind it, but I can't spit it out.

Many words have long been in the memory and have been said thousands of times in my heart.

Say it or not, it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Anyway, the other party doesn't know.

What Yue Dingtang wants to ask more is——

How did you feel when you were kissed by yourself in the underground of Guanyin Temple that day?

"Ling Shu."

I really want to imprison his footsteps like this, and tie him firmly to my side, so that no matter how much he wants to spread his wings, he won't be able to fly.

Eight years of regrets have eroded a huge part of my heart, and I need to make up for it in other ways.

But this is Ling Shu.

It is Ling Shu who can use blood and life to fight bayonet against the enemy on the battlefield. It is Ling Shu who can die for his brothers and comrades-in-arms. In order to return the lost treasure to the hands of the Chinese, Ling Shu was willing to take risks.

Yue Dingtang couldn't bear it and was not willing to use his own ideas to ask him to be confined.

The lost and recovered treasure should be held in the palm of your hand and continue to be cared for, allowing it to shine brightly and do its own thing.

That's it.

"These two sounds of "Lingshu" are really turning back and forth, and I still want to say something!"

Doctor Ji didn't know when to appear, and his words were teasing, cold and ruthless.

"I'm going out for a cigarette."

Yue Dingtang didn't bother to talk to him, got up and went out.

Doctor Ji stood at the door for a moment.

When Yue Dingtang walked away, he suddenly spoke in the direction of the chair.

"Stop pretending to be asleep."
