The real young master is also the real devil
Chapter 24
Sign Language
Not long after Brother Zhao's parents arrived, Sister Liu woke up. Her face was still pale, but she seemed to be in good spirits. When she saw the two of them, she was obviously taken aback, then she smiled and greeted them.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said a few words, and Sister Liu's eyes fell on Shi Qian. She tried to sit up with one hand, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhao, "You just got stitches on your stomach, how can you move? "
Sister Liu shook her head and was about to speak when Brother Zhao came back.
"Awake?!" Brother Zhao put down the porridge, and immediately walked to the hospital bed: "What are you going to do? What's wrong? Or are you hungry?"
Sister Liu smiled and said weakly: "I'm not hungry, I just want to sit up."
Brother Zhao helped her adjust the back of the hospital bed, and saw her solemnly thank Shi Qian, "Xiu, thank you for saving me and my child."
Old Zhao and his wife were taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Brother Zhao, who also looked at Shi Qian.
"What your sister Liu said is also what I want to tell you, but I have thanked you too many times, and I always feel that I am not sincere. Just now I was thinking about how to repay you." Brother Zhao rubbed the back of his head, a little embarrassed: "I was too flustered before, and I didn't pay attention to many things. When I was young, are you from the world over there?"
Xin Nan was startled, and subconsciously looked at Shi Qian.
Shi Qian didn't find it strange. According to his previous speculation, Sister Liu would be selected, which proved that at least one of her and Brother Zhao was a cultivator in their ancestors. Everyone knows that it is normal, and when the old Zhao couple came in just now, he discovered that they all have traces of spiritual energy accumulation on their bodies, probably because there are spiritual weapons at home, maybe the spiritual power inside is not strong, but mortals have been in a relationship with spiritual energy for a long time. One room also has the effect of prolonging life, curing diseases and eliminating disasters.
Brother Zhao has been in the mall for so many years, but he still doesn't understand Xin Nan's expression.He knows that some monks in the high spirit world pay attention to the rules and don't want the mortals in the micro spirit world to know their identities. It is even common for most of the time to refuse to save them. So this time today, he really thanked Shi Qian from the bottom of his heart.
Brother Zhao said: "The grace of saving life should be repaid by the spring. I have no other skills. After thinking about it, it may be useful to you. The only thing I have is the tickets for the Yangling Auction."
A trace of surprise flashed across Mr. Zhao's eyes, but he glanced at Sister Liu on the hospital bed, but said nothing.
Shi Qian had never heard of the Yangling Auction, nor did he plan to go, and said bluntly, "I would have rescued someone else if I had done this today. If you want to repay me, you and Sister Liu have repaid me by bringing me back."
Brother Zhao didn't let Shi Qian refuse, "Actually, I've heard about today's incident. There was a lot of noise about Mrs. Zhai's accident some time ago. I wasn't in Zhoucheng at the time, so I didn't take it too seriously when I heard about it. I don't understand what happened today. If it wasn't for you, Yingying and the child would have died. Mr. Shi, this matter may not be a big deal to you, but to me, what you saved is The fate of our family, and...Although I am only a collateral branch of the Zhao family, and I don't know much about the high spirit world, I also know that people who cultivate Taoism value karma. I hope you accept the ticket, which is all Part of cause and effect."
Hearing Brother Zhao say this, Shi Qian was silent for a few seconds and agreed.
It's one thing whether he goes to use the ticket or not, but as Brother Zhao said, a cultivator pays the most attention to karma. If he doesn't accept it, Brother Zhao may always be in a state of anxiety and worry about the future.
Sure enough, Brother Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Shi Qian agreed. He had a smile on his face, and his words returned to his previous casualness: "The tickets are at home, and I'll get them for you tomorrow morning."
Shi Qian nodded and bent his eyes: "Then let's go first, and don't disturb Brother Zhao and uncles and aunts."
The old Zhao and his wife disapproved of their son giving Shi Qian the precious and rare tickets at will, but after hearing what he said just now, they also knew the danger and Shi Qian's identity. Except for Sister Liu who couldn't get up from the hospital bed, they all got up and sent him and Xin Nan to the elevator.
After leaving the hospital, Xin Nan, who had been silent all this time, said in a low voice, "Will there be many such things?"
Shi Qian pressed the impatient little fox on his chest, felt that the hand felt good, and rubbed its head a few times: "No."
"But..." Xin Nan recalled the state of his sister's death, the guard at Mrs. Zhai's door, and the unaware person in the car today, "The murderer is elusive. We didn't even know where they were before they killed us. , how could it be possible to stop them!"
Shi Qian retracted his hand before the little fox exploded, and rubbed his right wrist with his fingers: "It may not be the enemy who is in the dark."
Xin Nan: "What do you mean?"
"Just go shopping with me tomorrow." Shi Qian turned around and walked a few steps, then clicked his tongue suddenly, "Looks like I have to go to He's house."
Early the next morning, Shi Qian received a call from brother Zhao asking him to get tickets for the auction.
He knocked on the door of Xin Nan's room, but there was no one responding to the calm breath inside. He presumably hadn't woken up yet, and Shi Qian didn't knock again. He turned around and walked out of the hotel, and stopped a car at the door: "Go to Chaozheng!" street."
As a famous historical and cultural city in China, Zhoucheng was once the ancient capital of several dynasties. Needless to say, Zhoucheng has a lot of historical heritage, not to mention the various "streets" and "temples" developed as a tourist economy. Towards Main Street.
Shi Qian will know this place not because he has searched for treasures, but because the house where he and old man Shi used to live is just across the road from Chaozheng Street. alley.
From the hospital on the outskirts of the city to the old city in the city center, there is a bustling atmosphere. Grandparents who get up early to buy vegetables carry bags in baskets, and hawkers pushing carts and carrying burdens are also shuttled outside the street, which can only be seen in the morning. scene.
Shi Qian ran into an old man who was selling pomegranates with a burden: "Qia's willow! Cha's willow! Three dollars for three dollars."
Someone stopped the old man and bargained: "Grandpa, your pomegranate is so small, can you buy four for ten yuan?"
"Four?" The old man's eyes widened: "My willow is very fresh! I grow it myself! Only sell three!"
"Four." Another aunt came and bargained: "I'll buy it with him, it's a cheap idea."
The old man hesitated for a while, then spread his hands: "Sell you at a loss."
The two stepped forward to pick pomegranates, Shi Qian thought it was interesting, so he also jumped in, "I want four too, sir!"
The old man was about to nod, when he saw Shi Qian's face clearly, he said "Hey", pointed his fingers towards the tip of his nose, and waved his hand: "Not for sale!"
Shi Qian pointed at the tip of his nose: "Why don't I sell it?"
"You bring those wild boys to beat willows under the wall of my house every day. I'll take some of them if I eat them?" The old man couldn't see his playful smile, so he slapped his hand with a scale. You and I are at a loss!"
Having said that, the long-term memory also jumped out from the corner, and Shi Qian nimbly jumped to the side, with a bright expression on his face: "Then don't we still help you fight?"
Hearing this, the old man became even angrier, and picked up the pole to hit Shi Qian: "You doll who is studying and fights with others is still an honor? I used to eat that willow as you like, and I don't want money from your grandpa. Now you I won’t give you food even if you pay for it!”
Shi Qian froze for a moment, and let the pole hit him, "Old... did my grandpa give you money?"
"Why didn't he be strangled?" The old man saw that he had been hit, and his expression was not good. He took out a bag and weighed it for the guests, and said while weighing: "You doll always think you know everything, you don't know It's too much! Go away, go away, don't get in my way!"
People came and went, but Shi Qian stood still, waiting for the guest to finish picking pomegranates and when the old man was about to leave, he stopped him.
Shi Qian: "Sell me some willows."
"What's the matter?" The old man said angrily, "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it! You baby is going to take the college entrance examination and you fight, your grandpa in the sky will wake you up!"
Shi Qian slightly hooked his lips, and became serious: "I've been admitted to the school I'm going to, but I don't know if he's still mad at me, so I want to bring some pomegranates from you to make amends, and see if he can forgive me .”
The old man looked at his smiling face silently, turned around and picked a few big and red pomegranates and handed them to him, and said in a muffled voice: "You are a filial child, everyone on this street knows that your old man likes you very much, tall Go and see him happily, and he is also happy, that's enough."
Shi Qian took the pomegranate and thanked him. Just as he took out his wallet, he was stopped by the old man: "I won't take it anymore. Live your life well. You will grow a lot in the future."
The old man carried the burden and walked away step by step on the bluestone slabs. Shi Qian picked up these pomegranates and turned and walked out of Chaozheng Street.
"To Qingshan Cemetery."
Qingshan Cemetery is in the western suburbs, and the taxi drove for more than an hour, and the sun had fully risen when we arrived.
Shi Qian walked up the stone steps, passed a solemn square, and finally reached the official guard of the cemetery.
When the doorman saw the person coming, he took out his notebook reflexively, and was about to call him to register, when he suddenly showed a familiar smile: "It's young, and you're visiting your grandpa again?"
Shi Qian paused and smiled: "Yes."
The guard got up and greeted with a smile: "What did you bring this time?"
Shi Qian lifted the bag: "Pomegranate."
"This pomegranate looks sweet!" The guard opened the small door for him with a smile, "Go in quickly."
Shi Qian thanked him, and the figure gradually disappeared among the shadows of the trees.
The new security guard asked the guard suspiciously: "Uncle Li, why didn't you let that person register just now?"
Uncle Li grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said, "I come here often, my face is familiar, what are you registering for?"
The security guard stretched his head and looked at the direction where Shi Qian disappeared: "He looks pretty good, Uncle, do you think this rich family has better genes than us, and none of the young masters and ladies I've met here are ugly. "
Uncle Li smiled and said, "Then can a rich man marry an ugly one?" He threw the melon seed husks into the trash can and shook his head: "But this is not from a rich family, he earned the money for his grandpa's cemetery himself." Yes, this kid, let me tell you, he will definitely be very promising in the future!"
The security guard became interested: "He earned it himself?" He didn't quite believe it: "Impossible, the bottom piece of land on our side costs 80 yuan, I think he walked quite far up, the piece of land is at least 200 million."
Uncle Li took out his smartphone, searched for Shiqian's name, and handed it to the security guard: "See, this is him."
Security guard: "A star!"
Uncle Li shook his head: "What kind of star, this is a photo taken secretly by someone else. He participated in a competition in his sophomore year and was recommended to A University. How can the future be the same?"
The conversation between the two was still going on, and Shi Qian had already reached the tomb he was looking for.
The tombstone was engraved with "Xian Zu Kao Shigong's taboo is the lotus seat of Ningfu Junshengxi" and a series of inscriptions. Shi Qian found a place to sit down, put the pomegranate aside, took out a tissue, and cleaned it up Looking at the relatively fresh fruit plate and cold dishes, I talked to him lazily:
"Actually, it's been a long time since I came to see you, but you probably don't know. After all, it's only been a week or so in reality. People say that it's been a year in the sky. I don't know whether your violent temper has gone to the sky or to the earth."
"I saw your passbook and those notes, which are a bit disgusting, no wonder you can't say it."
"The admission letter has arrived. I told you about the plaque before, but now I still think it's okay to talk to you. You've been looking forward to it for so long, and I don't know if you're happy to hear it."
"Today I ran into the man who had a big pomegranate tree at the foot of the east alley. He was selling pomegranates with a burden, but he refused to sell them to me because I beat his pomegranates when I was young. He also said that you gave him money. I just said how you always beat me for no reason when I was a child, it turned out that this matter was brought to light."
"There is one more thing. I plan to leave the He family. You always said that I was definitely not a child lost by my parents. I must have been abducted by human traffickers. You asked me to look for my parents when I grow up. Now I have found them, but It seems that there is no difference between abducting and throwing away, but don’t worry, I have brothers, sisters-in-law and uncle who love me very much.” Shi Qian was silent for a while, then smiled: “I don’t know how to calculate this time, after 1000 years, you should also I can't see you."
Shi Qian put the pomegranate into a clean fruit bowl, looked up at the old man with a firm face on the tombstone, and laughed: "But if you're not happy that I'm leaving the He family, you can come to me at night and beat me up in my dreams, especially I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss you. I still have something to do today, so I'm here."
He stood up, passed by the tombstones without looking back, and approached the bluestone steps that stretched down, looked back, and muttered softly: "There is something I haven't said, I have some things to deal with recently, I'm not sure Can I catch up with Imperial University to report? If I catch up, it’s because of fate. If I get closer, I’m afraid you’ll come out and beat me up when you hear it. It’s so uncivilized to fake a corpse to scare the janitor, but it’s not too far away, you I don’t care if I heard it or not, anyway, I told you.”
After finishing speaking, the young man descended the mountain like a gust of wind, leaving only the real mountain wind blowing the fallen leaves around angrily.
He promised to come to the hospital in the morning, but Shi Qian didn't arrive for a long time, and he didn't answer the phone. Brother Zhao thought he didn't see it at first, but seeing that it was almost noon, he couldn't help becoming anxious.
What happened yesterday was extremely thrilling. From the previous murders, we knew that the murderer was also very sinister and vicious. It was hard to say whether Shi Qian would turn to trouble him because Shi Qian interrupted his plan.
The more Brother Zhao thought about it, the more worried he became. He was afraid that Shi Qian would suffer an accident because of his family. If this was the case, he would have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of his life.
His distraction caught Zhao Ze's attention, and Zhao Ze said displeasedly, "What are you thinking, brother is talking about the auction."
Brother Zhao came back to his senses and quickly apologized. Seeing that Zhao Ze's complexion improved, he thought about it and told him about Shi Qian. Now, Master Ze, I will trouble you to take care of him for me during the auction, if there is something he can use, as long as I can afford it, I will trouble you to take it for him."
Zhao Ze didn't take it seriously: "Even if he really saved you, the Zhao family can't afford a thank you gift, just take something to pass away. What kind of things are they at the auction? The lowest grade they want is also by the catty." Weighing gold, can you afford it? Even if you can afford it, you will lose your fortune."
Brother Zhao didn't hesitate after hearing this: "This kindness must be repaid, even if the family is bankrupt. It's just that I haven't been to the auction when I was young, so I'd like to trouble Master Ze to take care of it when the time comes."
Zhao Ze took a deep look at him and was about to speak when Brother Zhao's cell phone rang. When he saw that it was Shi Qian's call, he immediately picked it up: "Xiao, where are you now? Are you okay?"
Shi Qian: "I'm fine, I just diverted to another place, and it may take two hours to come."
Brother Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "That's fine, you should pay attention to your own safety, and we will talk about the rest when you come."
After hanging up the phone, he smiled at Zhao Zening: "I'm finally relieved."
Zhao Ze snorted inexplicably, and when he was about to speak, his mobile phone also rang a text message notification tone. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and his face suddenly became cloudy.
She pursed her lips and replied a few messages, threw the phone away, and said to Brother Zhao: "The He family will come to visit my sister-in-law later, you should prepare."
Brother Zhao didn't remember which He family the Zhao family was acquainted with, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't remember which He family, so he couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.
Zhao Ze clicked his tongue: "He Yuanzhao."
Brother Zhao knew about He Yuanzhao, but he was still puzzled, and asked tentatively, "He's?"
He has no cooperation with the He family, and as far as he knows, the Zhao family has nothing to do with the He family. He couldn't think of the reason why the He Yuanzhao family came to visit him.
"It's that He family." Zhao Ze saw that he didn't look like Shangxin, and his eyes were a little displeased: "The youngest son of the He family, He Nian, has a spiritual root. I don't need to say more about the rest, right?"
Brother Zhao reacted as soon as he heard it, nodded and said, "I see."
Only then did Zhao Ze nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I'll go out to get some air first, and my brother will come to me later and you can talk to him, and I'll come back after a while."
When Shi Qian arrived at the hospital, it was almost noon, and he planned to come back after lunch after shopping, but Brother Zhao refused, saying that he had already booked a place and wanted him to have a meal together.
Last night, Sister Liu transferred from the emergency department to the inpatient department. The inpatient department is behind the outpatient department. You can pass through the outpatient hall directly, or bypass the outpatient building.
Shi Qian naturally chooses the former, taking as few steps as possible.
It was approaching noon, and the outpatient hall became cold. When passing by the guidance desk, Shi Qian saw a middle-aged couple consulting, so he didn't pay much attention.
When he walked out of the outpatient hall, a nurse hurried past him with a mobile phone, and Shi Qian heard what she said.
Holding the mobile phone, the nurse walked hurriedly and said to the other end: "...don't eat, here comes the deaf-mute patient, there is no time now...he seems to have an appointment with Professor Sun in his hand, the point is not this, The point is that Professor Sun has already left work, and even if Professor Sun is back, they are not easy to communicate with. The head nurse said that there is a doctor in the facial features department who seems to know sign language, but I don’t know if he is still there. I’m going to find someone now. Do you have any? Is there a number over there?"
Shi Qian glanced back. Behind Gao Zhu, the couple described themselves as anxious, with tiredness and pain on their faces.
He paused, "I can sign language."
The nurse was anxious at first, and frowned when she was stopped, but she immediately smiled pleasantly after hearing what Shi Qian said: "Really?!"
Shi Qian nodded, turned around and went back to the clinic: "Let's go."
The couple was still at the consultation desk. The husband kept gesticulating anxiously and made a sound of "ahhh", but the wife was relatively calm and helpless. Obviously, she was very aware of the difficulties they were currently facing, and she was used to it and had no hope.
"Here we come! He can sign language!" The nurse pulled Shi Qian and walked quickly to the two of them.
Shi Qian clenched his fist and gave out his index finger. He pointed at his husband and retracted it. He gave a thumbs up, and then pointed at himself. He hooked his index fingers together and looked at the couple.
The husband's eyes lit up, and he immediately returned the same gesture as Shi Qian's first gesture, and the wife's expression also changed.
The nurse was curious and asked Shi Qian, "What are you talking about?"
While communicating with the husband using sign language, Shi Qian said to the nurse, "Say hello, and tell him I'm here to communicate with him."
The nurses nodded, and quickly asked Shi Qian to help translate, "Tell him that Professor Sun's number is in the morning, and he has gone back now."
Shi Qian nodded, and after communicating with the husband in sign language, he turned to translate what he said to the nurses: "He said he had an appointment in the morning, but there was a traffic jam on the road, and he couldn't communicate with the bus driver. Come here so I wasted time."
The husband was very anxious, and signed sign language very quickly, but Shi Qian was able to keep up with his rhythm and quickly translate:
"His wife's condition is already very serious. He found Professor Sun through someone else's introduction, and it took a lot of effort to make an appointment. They don't have much money, so they can't stay in Zhoucheng any longer. Today, a fellow villager can take them home on the way. , that’s why I’m anxious to see Professor Sun today.”
As Shi Qian spoke, he didn't translate any more, and started communicating with the husband himself.
The nurses didn't know what they were talking about, but they waited on the side without disturbing, only the nurse who called before said to Shi Qian in a low voice: "Please tell them, the Professor Sun they made an appointment with hasn't gone far and has already rushed back ,almost there."
Shi Qian nodded and told them the news, and they instantly became excited.
Seeing the couple wiping their tears and making the same gesture to each of them, the nurse couldn't help being curious: "What's wrong with them?"
Shi Qian clenched his fist with his right hand, stretched out his thumb and nodded at them, bending his eyes and said, "They are saying thank you."
After Shi Qian said that, he continued to communicate with the couple. Only the nurse who was facing him just now looked at his smiling eyes and couldn't help but blushed.
Professor Sun also came soon, and people over half a century old walked like a wind, coupled with the sweat on their foreheads, they were obviously in a hurry to get back.
The couple made a few gestures when they saw this. Professor Sun's eyes were sharp, and he could tell who was the translator at a glance. His gaze fell directly on Shi Qian. He took out his pen to record and asked, "What did they say?" .”
Without Shi Qian's answer, the nurses said in unison: "They are saying thank you."
Professor Sun was stunned for a moment, seeing the expression of gratitude from the two of them instead of anxious, he also reacted, and he smiled: "You're welcome, it should be."
He ordered the nurses to help print the medical records, sat down directly at the consultation desk, and asked the couple to sit down, and began to ask questions. Shi Qian stood aside and acted as a bridge for them to communicate.
Shi Qian is young, and has a three-point smiling face. In addition to the rigorous description of the disease and the doctor's report, the occasional explanation is also full of humor, which gradually breaks the rigidity and tension of the couple, and unknowingly relaxes. down.
The course of the disease is not as serious as the couple thought. Professor Sun even pointed out that these drugs are reimbursed by the medical insurance, which will not bring them a greater burden. The guidance desk gradually relaxed a lot, and the empty hall seemed to have a brisk and lively atmosphere.
No one saw it. Behind the pillars at the side door of the outpatient hall, the apparently expensively dressed family stopped in their tracks and looked at the young man beside the consultation desk with complicated expressions.
He Yan was surprised but for the first time asked without any emotion: "When will he know sign language?"
He Yuanzhao and Zeng Yan looked at each other, obviously both were in a daze, they didn't even read all the information about Time Dive, how could they know when he could know sign language, let alone sign language, before they didn't even know what the result of Time Dive was.
He Ze said indifferently: "He spent time in an orphanage when he was a child, and there are many deaf-mute children in the orphanage."
He Yan was puzzled, "But he is not a deaf-mute child, so normal children in the orphanage also have to learn this?"
He Ze lowered his eyes, and glanced at He Yan lightly: "He doesn't need it, but for the sake of those normal children to play with these deaf-mute children, he will learn."
He Yan's eyes widened slightly, and he turned his head to look at Shi Qian who was still using sign language as an interpreter, and said in disbelief: "Didn't the previous information say that he liked to fight in the orphanage? Who knows what he learned sign language for?" , Maybe it's to better bully other people's deaf children..." His voice became lower and lower, and he didn't have any confidence in the end.
He Ze's face darkened: "He fights so that those disadvantaged children will not be bullied, He Yan, you don't wear any colored glasses, just look at Shi Qian with your eyes, and then tell me, do you think he will be a bully? ?”
He Yan looked at Shi Qian, opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, He Nian was worried that the debate here would attract the attention of the other side, so he pinched his fingertips, and interjected with a smile: "Actually, the second brother also knows that Shi Qian is very good. I'm used to saying those things when there are more people in the family... Just as we are going to visit Mrs. Zhao, brother Shi Qian is also here, or ask him to go with him."
He Nian's voice was soft and soft, and he kept his eyes on He Ze and He Yuanzhao and his wife when he spoke. However, this time, for the first time, they did not immediately respond to his gaze or what he said, and focused all their attention on the guidance desk. .
Not long after Brother Zhao's parents arrived, Sister Liu woke up. Her face was still pale, but she seemed to be in good spirits. When she saw the two of them, she was obviously taken aback, then she smiled and greeted them.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said a few words, and Sister Liu's eyes fell on Shi Qian. She tried to sit up with one hand, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhao, "You just got stitches on your stomach, how can you move? "
Sister Liu shook her head and was about to speak when Brother Zhao came back.
"Awake?!" Brother Zhao put down the porridge, and immediately walked to the hospital bed: "What are you going to do? What's wrong? Or are you hungry?"
Sister Liu smiled and said weakly: "I'm not hungry, I just want to sit up."
Brother Zhao helped her adjust the back of the hospital bed, and saw her solemnly thank Shi Qian, "Xiu, thank you for saving me and my child."
Old Zhao and his wife were taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Brother Zhao, who also looked at Shi Qian.
"What your sister Liu said is also what I want to tell you, but I have thanked you too many times, and I always feel that I am not sincere. Just now I was thinking about how to repay you." Brother Zhao rubbed the back of his head, a little embarrassed: "I was too flustered before, and I didn't pay attention to many things. When I was young, are you from the world over there?"
Xin Nan was startled, and subconsciously looked at Shi Qian.
Shi Qian didn't find it strange. According to his previous speculation, Sister Liu would be selected, which proved that at least one of her and Brother Zhao was a cultivator in their ancestors. Everyone knows that it is normal, and when the old Zhao couple came in just now, he discovered that they all have traces of spiritual energy accumulation on their bodies, probably because there are spiritual weapons at home, maybe the spiritual power inside is not strong, but mortals have been in a relationship with spiritual energy for a long time. One room also has the effect of prolonging life, curing diseases and eliminating disasters.
Brother Zhao has been in the mall for so many years, but he still doesn't understand Xin Nan's expression.He knows that some monks in the high spirit world pay attention to the rules and don't want the mortals in the micro spirit world to know their identities. It is even common for most of the time to refuse to save them. So this time today, he really thanked Shi Qian from the bottom of his heart.
Brother Zhao said: "The grace of saving life should be repaid by the spring. I have no other skills. After thinking about it, it may be useful to you. The only thing I have is the tickets for the Yangling Auction."
A trace of surprise flashed across Mr. Zhao's eyes, but he glanced at Sister Liu on the hospital bed, but said nothing.
Shi Qian had never heard of the Yangling Auction, nor did he plan to go, and said bluntly, "I would have rescued someone else if I had done this today. If you want to repay me, you and Sister Liu have repaid me by bringing me back."
Brother Zhao didn't let Shi Qian refuse, "Actually, I've heard about today's incident. There was a lot of noise about Mrs. Zhai's accident some time ago. I wasn't in Zhoucheng at the time, so I didn't take it too seriously when I heard about it. I don't understand what happened today. If it wasn't for you, Yingying and the child would have died. Mr. Shi, this matter may not be a big deal to you, but to me, what you saved is The fate of our family, and...Although I am only a collateral branch of the Zhao family, and I don't know much about the high spirit world, I also know that people who cultivate Taoism value karma. I hope you accept the ticket, which is all Part of cause and effect."
Hearing Brother Zhao say this, Shi Qian was silent for a few seconds and agreed.
It's one thing whether he goes to use the ticket or not, but as Brother Zhao said, a cultivator pays the most attention to karma. If he doesn't accept it, Brother Zhao may always be in a state of anxiety and worry about the future.
Sure enough, Brother Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Shi Qian agreed. He had a smile on his face, and his words returned to his previous casualness: "The tickets are at home, and I'll get them for you tomorrow morning."
Shi Qian nodded and bent his eyes: "Then let's go first, and don't disturb Brother Zhao and uncles and aunts."
The old Zhao and his wife disapproved of their son giving Shi Qian the precious and rare tickets at will, but after hearing what he said just now, they also knew the danger and Shi Qian's identity. Except for Sister Liu who couldn't get up from the hospital bed, they all got up and sent him and Xin Nan to the elevator.
After leaving the hospital, Xin Nan, who had been silent all this time, said in a low voice, "Will there be many such things?"
Shi Qian pressed the impatient little fox on his chest, felt that the hand felt good, and rubbed its head a few times: "No."
"But..." Xin Nan recalled the state of his sister's death, the guard at Mrs. Zhai's door, and the unaware person in the car today, "The murderer is elusive. We didn't even know where they were before they killed us. , how could it be possible to stop them!"
Shi Qian retracted his hand before the little fox exploded, and rubbed his right wrist with his fingers: "It may not be the enemy who is in the dark."
Xin Nan: "What do you mean?"
"Just go shopping with me tomorrow." Shi Qian turned around and walked a few steps, then clicked his tongue suddenly, "Looks like I have to go to He's house."
Early the next morning, Shi Qian received a call from brother Zhao asking him to get tickets for the auction.
He knocked on the door of Xin Nan's room, but there was no one responding to the calm breath inside. He presumably hadn't woken up yet, and Shi Qian didn't knock again. He turned around and walked out of the hotel, and stopped a car at the door: "Go to Chaozheng!" street."
As a famous historical and cultural city in China, Zhoucheng was once the ancient capital of several dynasties. Needless to say, Zhoucheng has a lot of historical heritage, not to mention the various "streets" and "temples" developed as a tourist economy. Towards Main Street.
Shi Qian will know this place not because he has searched for treasures, but because the house where he and old man Shi used to live is just across the road from Chaozheng Street. alley.
From the hospital on the outskirts of the city to the old city in the city center, there is a bustling atmosphere. Grandparents who get up early to buy vegetables carry bags in baskets, and hawkers pushing carts and carrying burdens are also shuttled outside the street, which can only be seen in the morning. scene.
Shi Qian ran into an old man who was selling pomegranates with a burden: "Qia's willow! Cha's willow! Three dollars for three dollars."
Someone stopped the old man and bargained: "Grandpa, your pomegranate is so small, can you buy four for ten yuan?"
"Four?" The old man's eyes widened: "My willow is very fresh! I grow it myself! Only sell three!"
"Four." Another aunt came and bargained: "I'll buy it with him, it's a cheap idea."
The old man hesitated for a while, then spread his hands: "Sell you at a loss."
The two stepped forward to pick pomegranates, Shi Qian thought it was interesting, so he also jumped in, "I want four too, sir!"
The old man was about to nod, when he saw Shi Qian's face clearly, he said "Hey", pointed his fingers towards the tip of his nose, and waved his hand: "Not for sale!"
Shi Qian pointed at the tip of his nose: "Why don't I sell it?"
"You bring those wild boys to beat willows under the wall of my house every day. I'll take some of them if I eat them?" The old man couldn't see his playful smile, so he slapped his hand with a scale. You and I are at a loss!"
Having said that, the long-term memory also jumped out from the corner, and Shi Qian nimbly jumped to the side, with a bright expression on his face: "Then don't we still help you fight?"
Hearing this, the old man became even angrier, and picked up the pole to hit Shi Qian: "You doll who is studying and fights with others is still an honor? I used to eat that willow as you like, and I don't want money from your grandpa. Now you I won’t give you food even if you pay for it!”
Shi Qian froze for a moment, and let the pole hit him, "Old... did my grandpa give you money?"
"Why didn't he be strangled?" The old man saw that he had been hit, and his expression was not good. He took out a bag and weighed it for the guests, and said while weighing: "You doll always think you know everything, you don't know It's too much! Go away, go away, don't get in my way!"
People came and went, but Shi Qian stood still, waiting for the guest to finish picking pomegranates and when the old man was about to leave, he stopped him.
Shi Qian: "Sell me some willows."
"What's the matter?" The old man said angrily, "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it! You baby is going to take the college entrance examination and you fight, your grandpa in the sky will wake you up!"
Shi Qian slightly hooked his lips, and became serious: "I've been admitted to the school I'm going to, but I don't know if he's still mad at me, so I want to bring some pomegranates from you to make amends, and see if he can forgive me .”
The old man looked at his smiling face silently, turned around and picked a few big and red pomegranates and handed them to him, and said in a muffled voice: "You are a filial child, everyone on this street knows that your old man likes you very much, tall Go and see him happily, and he is also happy, that's enough."
Shi Qian took the pomegranate and thanked him. Just as he took out his wallet, he was stopped by the old man: "I won't take it anymore. Live your life well. You will grow a lot in the future."
The old man carried the burden and walked away step by step on the bluestone slabs. Shi Qian picked up these pomegranates and turned and walked out of Chaozheng Street.
"To Qingshan Cemetery."
Qingshan Cemetery is in the western suburbs, and the taxi drove for more than an hour, and the sun had fully risen when we arrived.
Shi Qian walked up the stone steps, passed a solemn square, and finally reached the official guard of the cemetery.
When the doorman saw the person coming, he took out his notebook reflexively, and was about to call him to register, when he suddenly showed a familiar smile: "It's young, and you're visiting your grandpa again?"
Shi Qian paused and smiled: "Yes."
The guard got up and greeted with a smile: "What did you bring this time?"
Shi Qian lifted the bag: "Pomegranate."
"This pomegranate looks sweet!" The guard opened the small door for him with a smile, "Go in quickly."
Shi Qian thanked him, and the figure gradually disappeared among the shadows of the trees.
The new security guard asked the guard suspiciously: "Uncle Li, why didn't you let that person register just now?"
Uncle Li grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said, "I come here often, my face is familiar, what are you registering for?"
The security guard stretched his head and looked at the direction where Shi Qian disappeared: "He looks pretty good, Uncle, do you think this rich family has better genes than us, and none of the young masters and ladies I've met here are ugly. "
Uncle Li smiled and said, "Then can a rich man marry an ugly one?" He threw the melon seed husks into the trash can and shook his head: "But this is not from a rich family, he earned the money for his grandpa's cemetery himself." Yes, this kid, let me tell you, he will definitely be very promising in the future!"
The security guard became interested: "He earned it himself?" He didn't quite believe it: "Impossible, the bottom piece of land on our side costs 80 yuan, I think he walked quite far up, the piece of land is at least 200 million."
Uncle Li took out his smartphone, searched for Shiqian's name, and handed it to the security guard: "See, this is him."
Security guard: "A star!"
Uncle Li shook his head: "What kind of star, this is a photo taken secretly by someone else. He participated in a competition in his sophomore year and was recommended to A University. How can the future be the same?"
The conversation between the two was still going on, and Shi Qian had already reached the tomb he was looking for.
The tombstone was engraved with "Xian Zu Kao Shigong's taboo is the lotus seat of Ningfu Junshengxi" and a series of inscriptions. Shi Qian found a place to sit down, put the pomegranate aside, took out a tissue, and cleaned it up Looking at the relatively fresh fruit plate and cold dishes, I talked to him lazily:
"Actually, it's been a long time since I came to see you, but you probably don't know. After all, it's only been a week or so in reality. People say that it's been a year in the sky. I don't know whether your violent temper has gone to the sky or to the earth."
"I saw your passbook and those notes, which are a bit disgusting, no wonder you can't say it."
"The admission letter has arrived. I told you about the plaque before, but now I still think it's okay to talk to you. You've been looking forward to it for so long, and I don't know if you're happy to hear it."
"Today I ran into the man who had a big pomegranate tree at the foot of the east alley. He was selling pomegranates with a burden, but he refused to sell them to me because I beat his pomegranates when I was young. He also said that you gave him money. I just said how you always beat me for no reason when I was a child, it turned out that this matter was brought to light."
"There is one more thing. I plan to leave the He family. You always said that I was definitely not a child lost by my parents. I must have been abducted by human traffickers. You asked me to look for my parents when I grow up. Now I have found them, but It seems that there is no difference between abducting and throwing away, but don’t worry, I have brothers, sisters-in-law and uncle who love me very much.” Shi Qian was silent for a while, then smiled: “I don’t know how to calculate this time, after 1000 years, you should also I can't see you."
Shi Qian put the pomegranate into a clean fruit bowl, looked up at the old man with a firm face on the tombstone, and laughed: "But if you're not happy that I'm leaving the He family, you can come to me at night and beat me up in my dreams, especially I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss you. I still have something to do today, so I'm here."
He stood up, passed by the tombstones without looking back, and approached the bluestone steps that stretched down, looked back, and muttered softly: "There is something I haven't said, I have some things to deal with recently, I'm not sure Can I catch up with Imperial University to report? If I catch up, it’s because of fate. If I get closer, I’m afraid you’ll come out and beat me up when you hear it. It’s so uncivilized to fake a corpse to scare the janitor, but it’s not too far away, you I don’t care if I heard it or not, anyway, I told you.”
After finishing speaking, the young man descended the mountain like a gust of wind, leaving only the real mountain wind blowing the fallen leaves around angrily.
He promised to come to the hospital in the morning, but Shi Qian didn't arrive for a long time, and he didn't answer the phone. Brother Zhao thought he didn't see it at first, but seeing that it was almost noon, he couldn't help becoming anxious.
What happened yesterday was extremely thrilling. From the previous murders, we knew that the murderer was also very sinister and vicious. It was hard to say whether Shi Qian would turn to trouble him because Shi Qian interrupted his plan.
The more Brother Zhao thought about it, the more worried he became. He was afraid that Shi Qian would suffer an accident because of his family. If this was the case, he would have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of his life.
His distraction caught Zhao Ze's attention, and Zhao Ze said displeasedly, "What are you thinking, brother is talking about the auction."
Brother Zhao came back to his senses and quickly apologized. Seeing that Zhao Ze's complexion improved, he thought about it and told him about Shi Qian. Now, Master Ze, I will trouble you to take care of him for me during the auction, if there is something he can use, as long as I can afford it, I will trouble you to take it for him."
Zhao Ze didn't take it seriously: "Even if he really saved you, the Zhao family can't afford a thank you gift, just take something to pass away. What kind of things are they at the auction? The lowest grade they want is also by the catty." Weighing gold, can you afford it? Even if you can afford it, you will lose your fortune."
Brother Zhao didn't hesitate after hearing this: "This kindness must be repaid, even if the family is bankrupt. It's just that I haven't been to the auction when I was young, so I'd like to trouble Master Ze to take care of it when the time comes."
Zhao Ze took a deep look at him and was about to speak when Brother Zhao's cell phone rang. When he saw that it was Shi Qian's call, he immediately picked it up: "Xiao, where are you now? Are you okay?"
Shi Qian: "I'm fine, I just diverted to another place, and it may take two hours to come."
Brother Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "That's fine, you should pay attention to your own safety, and we will talk about the rest when you come."
After hanging up the phone, he smiled at Zhao Zening: "I'm finally relieved."
Zhao Ze snorted inexplicably, and when he was about to speak, his mobile phone also rang a text message notification tone. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and his face suddenly became cloudy.
She pursed her lips and replied a few messages, threw the phone away, and said to Brother Zhao: "The He family will come to visit my sister-in-law later, you should prepare."
Brother Zhao didn't remember which He family the Zhao family was acquainted with, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't remember which He family, so he couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.
Zhao Ze clicked his tongue: "He Yuanzhao."
Brother Zhao knew about He Yuanzhao, but he was still puzzled, and asked tentatively, "He's?"
He has no cooperation with the He family, and as far as he knows, the Zhao family has nothing to do with the He family. He couldn't think of the reason why the He Yuanzhao family came to visit him.
"It's that He family." Zhao Ze saw that he didn't look like Shangxin, and his eyes were a little displeased: "The youngest son of the He family, He Nian, has a spiritual root. I don't need to say more about the rest, right?"
Brother Zhao reacted as soon as he heard it, nodded and said, "I see."
Only then did Zhao Ze nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I'll go out to get some air first, and my brother will come to me later and you can talk to him, and I'll come back after a while."
When Shi Qian arrived at the hospital, it was almost noon, and he planned to come back after lunch after shopping, but Brother Zhao refused, saying that he had already booked a place and wanted him to have a meal together.
Last night, Sister Liu transferred from the emergency department to the inpatient department. The inpatient department is behind the outpatient department. You can pass through the outpatient hall directly, or bypass the outpatient building.
Shi Qian naturally chooses the former, taking as few steps as possible.
It was approaching noon, and the outpatient hall became cold. When passing by the guidance desk, Shi Qian saw a middle-aged couple consulting, so he didn't pay much attention.
When he walked out of the outpatient hall, a nurse hurried past him with a mobile phone, and Shi Qian heard what she said.
Holding the mobile phone, the nurse walked hurriedly and said to the other end: "...don't eat, here comes the deaf-mute patient, there is no time now...he seems to have an appointment with Professor Sun in his hand, the point is not this, The point is that Professor Sun has already left work, and even if Professor Sun is back, they are not easy to communicate with. The head nurse said that there is a doctor in the facial features department who seems to know sign language, but I don’t know if he is still there. I’m going to find someone now. Do you have any? Is there a number over there?"
Shi Qian glanced back. Behind Gao Zhu, the couple described themselves as anxious, with tiredness and pain on their faces.
He paused, "I can sign language."
The nurse was anxious at first, and frowned when she was stopped, but she immediately smiled pleasantly after hearing what Shi Qian said: "Really?!"
Shi Qian nodded, turned around and went back to the clinic: "Let's go."
The couple was still at the consultation desk. The husband kept gesticulating anxiously and made a sound of "ahhh", but the wife was relatively calm and helpless. Obviously, she was very aware of the difficulties they were currently facing, and she was used to it and had no hope.
"Here we come! He can sign language!" The nurse pulled Shi Qian and walked quickly to the two of them.
Shi Qian clenched his fist and gave out his index finger. He pointed at his husband and retracted it. He gave a thumbs up, and then pointed at himself. He hooked his index fingers together and looked at the couple.
The husband's eyes lit up, and he immediately returned the same gesture as Shi Qian's first gesture, and the wife's expression also changed.
The nurse was curious and asked Shi Qian, "What are you talking about?"
While communicating with the husband using sign language, Shi Qian said to the nurse, "Say hello, and tell him I'm here to communicate with him."
The nurses nodded, and quickly asked Shi Qian to help translate, "Tell him that Professor Sun's number is in the morning, and he has gone back now."
Shi Qian nodded, and after communicating with the husband in sign language, he turned to translate what he said to the nurses: "He said he had an appointment in the morning, but there was a traffic jam on the road, and he couldn't communicate with the bus driver. Come here so I wasted time."
The husband was very anxious, and signed sign language very quickly, but Shi Qian was able to keep up with his rhythm and quickly translate:
"His wife's condition is already very serious. He found Professor Sun through someone else's introduction, and it took a lot of effort to make an appointment. They don't have much money, so they can't stay in Zhoucheng any longer. Today, a fellow villager can take them home on the way. , that’s why I’m anxious to see Professor Sun today.”
As Shi Qian spoke, he didn't translate any more, and started communicating with the husband himself.
The nurses didn't know what they were talking about, but they waited on the side without disturbing, only the nurse who called before said to Shi Qian in a low voice: "Please tell them, the Professor Sun they made an appointment with hasn't gone far and has already rushed back ,almost there."
Shi Qian nodded and told them the news, and they instantly became excited.
Seeing the couple wiping their tears and making the same gesture to each of them, the nurse couldn't help being curious: "What's wrong with them?"
Shi Qian clenched his fist with his right hand, stretched out his thumb and nodded at them, bending his eyes and said, "They are saying thank you."
After Shi Qian said that, he continued to communicate with the couple. Only the nurse who was facing him just now looked at his smiling eyes and couldn't help but blushed.
Professor Sun also came soon, and people over half a century old walked like a wind, coupled with the sweat on their foreheads, they were obviously in a hurry to get back.
The couple made a few gestures when they saw this. Professor Sun's eyes were sharp, and he could tell who was the translator at a glance. His gaze fell directly on Shi Qian. He took out his pen to record and asked, "What did they say?" .”
Without Shi Qian's answer, the nurses said in unison: "They are saying thank you."
Professor Sun was stunned for a moment, seeing the expression of gratitude from the two of them instead of anxious, he also reacted, and he smiled: "You're welcome, it should be."
He ordered the nurses to help print the medical records, sat down directly at the consultation desk, and asked the couple to sit down, and began to ask questions. Shi Qian stood aside and acted as a bridge for them to communicate.
Shi Qian is young, and has a three-point smiling face. In addition to the rigorous description of the disease and the doctor's report, the occasional explanation is also full of humor, which gradually breaks the rigidity and tension of the couple, and unknowingly relaxes. down.
The course of the disease is not as serious as the couple thought. Professor Sun even pointed out that these drugs are reimbursed by the medical insurance, which will not bring them a greater burden. The guidance desk gradually relaxed a lot, and the empty hall seemed to have a brisk and lively atmosphere.
No one saw it. Behind the pillars at the side door of the outpatient hall, the apparently expensively dressed family stopped in their tracks and looked at the young man beside the consultation desk with complicated expressions.
He Yan was surprised but for the first time asked without any emotion: "When will he know sign language?"
He Yuanzhao and Zeng Yan looked at each other, obviously both were in a daze, they didn't even read all the information about Time Dive, how could they know when he could know sign language, let alone sign language, before they didn't even know what the result of Time Dive was.
He Ze said indifferently: "He spent time in an orphanage when he was a child, and there are many deaf-mute children in the orphanage."
He Yan was puzzled, "But he is not a deaf-mute child, so normal children in the orphanage also have to learn this?"
He Ze lowered his eyes, and glanced at He Yan lightly: "He doesn't need it, but for the sake of those normal children to play with these deaf-mute children, he will learn."
He Yan's eyes widened slightly, and he turned his head to look at Shi Qian who was still using sign language as an interpreter, and said in disbelief: "Didn't the previous information say that he liked to fight in the orphanage? Who knows what he learned sign language for?" , Maybe it's to better bully other people's deaf children..." His voice became lower and lower, and he didn't have any confidence in the end.
He Ze's face darkened: "He fights so that those disadvantaged children will not be bullied, He Yan, you don't wear any colored glasses, just look at Shi Qian with your eyes, and then tell me, do you think he will be a bully? ?”
He Yan looked at Shi Qian, opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, He Nian was worried that the debate here would attract the attention of the other side, so he pinched his fingertips, and interjected with a smile: "Actually, the second brother also knows that Shi Qian is very good. I'm used to saying those things when there are more people in the family... Just as we are going to visit Mrs. Zhao, brother Shi Qian is also here, or ask him to go with him."
He Nian's voice was soft and soft, and he kept his eyes on He Ze and He Yuanzhao and his wife when he spoke. However, this time, for the first time, they did not immediately respond to his gaze or what he said, and focused all their attention on the guidance desk. .
