traveling doctor

"Did you provoke him?" Huang Jinchen asked Kou Tong when he heard the door knock.

"I just remembered something suddenly." Kou Tong shrugged his shoulders, looked out of the window, and lowered his voice extremely low, as if he didn't want to disturb the rest of the family. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and He took one in his mouth and handed another to Huang Jinchen. Hearing Kou Tong's mother and He Xiaozhi whispering in the living room, he said after a while, "Sometimes people are tired because of themselves. Putting yourself on too tight."

"Ok?"

"For example, Yao Shuo, do you think he doesn't love his wife and children? That's impossible. You can tell from the way he called home when he first arrived here. Those numbers were not dialed from the address book. It's all in his mind...but he can't help wishing they didn't exist."

Huang Jinchen was single, and he couldn't understand the sweet burden of his wife and children on the bed. After thinking about it, he couldn't make any comments, so he could only listen.

"Old Yao's wife is a full-time wife. When they were young, some women did not receive a high degree of education and did not have their own majors. When they are old, they will no longer have a job position in society—if they happen to be that person. If you have a relatively weak and dependent character, you will naturally become a housewife." Kou Tong said in a very light and relaxed tone like chatting in a cloud of smoke, almost as if he was scratching someone else's ear.

——Huang Jinchen couldn't help scratching his ears lightly, feeling that hearing his voice made his heart itch.

"At this time, the pressure of the whole family falls on the husband alone, and after a long time, in his eyes, she will be an object who needs to be protected and taken care of. If the husband is just like Yao Shuo, it is a matter of self-esteem. Very tall, a man who has always been in the position of a guide or commander will never have any communication with his wife when he encounters difficulties or goes wrong."

Huang Jinchen nodded: "If I had a wife like an old man, I wouldn't say anything."

Then he secretly looked at Kou Tong, thinking what if there was such a wife?After two seconds, Huang Jinchen came to the conclusion that with such a wife, he would definitely not have the pressure of Yao Shuo, but he would always be worried about being a cuckold.

"When people pass middle age, their physical condition slowly begins to decline, and their career advancement space is no longer as wide as that of young people. Logically speaking, this age should be when a person's career reaches its peak, but the pyramid shape is the foundation of this society. The structure, the more difficult it is to go up the tip. Most middle-aged people will suffer a blow to their careers at this age, but neither their wives nor children in their teenage years can hardly understand his pressure. Kou Tong said, "This is the so-called 'man' menopause, lost, confused, closed, and strongly unwilling. If he still can't accept his powerlessness and can't find a way to release his pressure, he will become a man. Like Yao Shuo."

"Father... is not omnipotent." When Kou Tong said this, he suddenly laughed lowly. The laughter was so short that Huang Jinchen couldn't analyze it. However, after he heard this word, Suddenly, I remembered the family portrait with the abrupt composition in the living room.

Why is there no Kou Tong's father on it?

Why does he call his parents "Mom" who is casually close, and "Father" who is indifferent and distant?

Huang Jinchen endured it for a long time, but finally he couldn't hold back and asked, "By the way, I've always wanted to ask, why don't you see your dad?"

Huang Jinchen is very sensitive to human movements. For a moment, he found that Kou Tong stopped all movements - including breathing. The man lowered his head slightly, his eyes were buried deeply, making it difficult for people to see clearly at a very close distance. His expression, after an unknown period of time, Kou Tong casually flicked the ashtray into the ashtray on the side, and said lightly: "Dead."

Then before Huang Jinchen could ask the second sentence, he pointed to the crows outside the window and said: "If you have to find a way to get rid of these things, they will attack people indiscriminately. It seems that the dawn will not disperse. Qin Qin will be with us." It’s on the line, the city’s power supply system can’t be repaired, and the battery life of my laptop is limited, so I can’t analyze those signals.”

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the living room. Huang Jinchen followed him and said, "The crow was made by a magician, so it's okay to kill him?"

He took out a silver bullet from his pocket, threw it and caught it: "It's like killing a monster."

"That's not a monster, it's a demon card." Sitting next to Kou Tong's mother, Manman corrected her.

Huang Jinchen didn't dare to provoke this little ancestor, so he could only change his words and say, "Okay, the devil card, okay?"

"Silver bullets can kill demons, but not magicians." Manman said firmly.

"Why?" Huang Jinchen, who lacked imagination and two-dimensional common sense, asked.

"No reason." Manman said.

Huang Jinchen asked again: "How do you know?"

Manman wrinkled her nose: "I just know."

"Tongtong, look how annoying she is!" Huang Jinchen grabbed the corner of Kou Tong's clothes, trying to be cute to win sympathy.

Kou Tong shivered unbearably, rubbed the goosebumps on his hands and said, "Eunuch Huang, you've had enough..."

Huang Jinchen: "You kissed me and called me baby just now in the corridor, why did you change from a concubine to a father-in-law in such a short while? You have always abandoned me!"

After he finished speaking, he took a special look at Kou Tong's mother, who was always dazzled by such violent adultery, from the corner of his eye.

Kou Tong's mother really coughed dryly, with a troubled expression on her face.

Kou Tong bumped Huang Jinchen's ribs hard with his elbow at the place blocked by the table.

Huang Jinchen held his heart in his arms, drooped his head and looked like a little daughter-in-law, he was simply a scumbag in love with a virgin.

Under the moral condemnation, Kou Tong's mother could only stare at her son fiercely.Kou Tong lowered his head and pretended not to see it: "Yes, let's continue talking about this magician. Manman, you know what characteristics a magician has. Silver bullets won't work, what will work?"

Manman shook his head.

Huang Jinchen took the opportunity: "Cut—"

At this time, a voice interjected: "From the perspective of the creation of Tarot cards, the magician first represented some peddlers and craftsmen who conflicted with the church, or people who were street performers."

A very bright smile appeared on Kou Tong's face immediately, and when he turned his head, he saw Yao Shuo talking against the door of the guest room holding a laptop that was powered by his own battery.

He glanced at Kou Tong, and didn't respond to Huang Jinchen's smile that softened his heart, and continued flatly: "At the same time, he is the first person that the traveler fool meets. In conflict with the church, this card represents something cunning and evil, but in addition, he has other meanings-such as the beginning of everything, the right of nature and creativity. It can also symbolize artists and legendary Alchemists, they are different from ordinary people, and have powers that others cannot understand."

"The first key to open the whole world represents infinite creativity and hope." Kou Tong thought for a while and said to Huang Jinchen, "Manman is right, you can kill unclean things with silver bullets, but you can't Kill hope with it."

Huang Jinchen finally thought that this matter was nonsense. He felt that his logic was a little confused. He was stuck between two-dimensional and three-dimensional. Tell you, fat and fat knight, what kind of bullet can kill such an abstract thing as hope?"

Her Royal Highness shrugged her shoulders, saying that he was only good at deceiving people, and there was nothing else he could do.

Huang Jinchen touched his face, and said sadly and affectionately: "Then be good, forget about philosophy and history, let's talk about literature and art later, and solve practical problems first."

"I have an idea." Yao Shuo paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "The power of a magician comes from infinity and creativity, it is 'beginning' and endless possibilities. There is a place where you can suppress this kind of thing..."

"What's the gap between Lao Tian's time?" Kou Tong asked immediately.

Yao Shuo nodded, and in the next second, everyone's eyes were on He Xiaozhi.He Xiaozhi shuddered, and looked around in a panic: "I...how can I do it? I can't."

"This is easy to handle. The magician should have seen us just now. I can go out and be a bait in a while." Huang Jinchen ignored him at all and said to himself, "Then we need a mirror."

"There needs to be a way to introduce him into the mirror." Yao Shuo continued.

Finding that no one paid any attention to his protest, He Xiaozhi felt restless, waved his hand weakly, and said again: "I..."

Kou Tong grabbed his wrist from a distance, and spread his fingers that were nervously pulling together.Dr. Kou's palms are slender and warm, with a strange power to calm people down.

He Xiaozhi stared at him blankly, feeling that there was a sea in the man's eyes, but it didn't make people afraid, but instead made people addicted to it, as if they had found the place where life began.

"I think you can." Kou Tong said.

He Xiaozhi miraculously calmed down, and Kou Tong said again: "I believe you can help us do it."

Huang Jinchen watched him holding He Xiaozhi's hand, fell silent, and stared at it with deep and hateful eyes, like a cat whose territory had been violated.

This kid is really an eyesore... Huang Jinchen narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth quietly.

That'smine!It's all mine—the two fat knights are not satisfied.
