Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 70: Medical Treatment
The evening breeze blows on the pool water.
The leaves are playing in the wind.
A burst of laughter came from the street, carried by the wind and extending far away.
The phone vibrated.
Jiang You took out his phone and Lin Yu sent him a WeChat message asking if he was free tomorrow. Jiang You thought for a moment and replied: I open the store at 10 o'clock and will be in the store all the time.
Lin Yu: Okay, I'll be there at half past ten.
He had been squatting for too long and his calves felt numb, so he stood up. Turning back, he saw Guan Nuo standing by the gate.
Guan Nuo panicked for a moment when he noticed Jiang You looking at him. Then he heard Jiang You's voice, "Why are you standing at the door? Come in and sit down. Close the gate."
"OK."
Guan Nuo closed the door.
"Let's sit in the yard. I'll bring two lounge chairs."
Guan Nuo watched Jiang You pick up Jiang Mo and walk into the store. A few minutes later, he came out with a chair in one hand. After setting it up, he took out a small round table and placed it between the two chairs.
"What would you like to drink?" Jiang You asked.
"casual."
"Have something hot to drink. I haven't opened the chocolate powder I bought last time yet. It's a good opportunity for us to drink it together. You just sit back and relax for a while."
Guan Nuo watched Jiang You walk into the store again.
He hesitated for a moment and sat down on the lounge chair on the left.
Not long after, Jiang You came out with two dark blue mugs. He placed one of the mugs on the coffee table, lowered his head, took a sip, and sat down again.
The rich chocolate aroma wafts out of the cup.
The warm and sweet liquid flows down the esophagus into the stomach and then slowly spreads throughout the body.
Jiang You lay down lazily.
Something seems to be missing.
He thought for a moment and said, "Oh..."
"What's wrong?" Guan Nuo asked nervously.
"I forgot to bring the talent back."
"At the section chief's house?"
"Yeah, forget it, let's talk about it in a few days," Jiang You said, "When are you going to Laojin Mountain?"
"Uncle Zhuang will go with me tomorrow at noon."
"It's quite dangerous outside right now," Jiang You took a sip of hot chocolate, "We have seen through their tricks, and I'm afraid they will take extreme measures."
"Someone is following me," Guan Nuo said honestly, "Uncle Zhuang also said that they might kidnap me. I am the bait. If they want to do something to me, then..."
Before Guan Nuo could finish, Jiang You interrupted him, "That's good."
Guan Nuo picked up the cup and took a sip. It was very sweet. "I didn't mean to go against the section chief at the meeting today."
"I remember you didn't say anything?"
"No, I want to support her, but..."
"As a man, why are you bothering about these trivial matters?" Jiang You turned his head to look at Guan Nuo and said, "The most important thing now is to find out the people from Jinghu Society in Tangjiang City and then follow the clues to investigate. This way, your father can rest in peace in his grave."
"I know. When I think about them killing my father, I can't wait to rush to Yanjing. I..."
"That's right. I heard from the section chief that strength is respected in the mountains."
"Strength is everything?"
"Yes, you should concentrate on getting your revenge first..."
"The section chief had already returned to the mountain by then."
"The Special Operations Department has always had contact with the mountain. When you become the person in charge , will there be fewer opportunities for contact?"
Guan Nuo thought for a moment and took another sip of hot chocolate.
It's a little cold.
It seems that it doesn't taste as sweet anymore.
After a while, he made up his mind, "I understand."
Guan Nuo stood up and drank the remaining liquid in the cup. "I'm going back now, Brother Jiang, thank you."
"Be careful on the road."
"good."
After Guan Nuo left, Jiang You looked up at the moon, a waxing crescent moon.
"It's almost Qingming Festival." Jiang You closed his eyes slightly.
When Guan Nuo reached the entrance of Wenhua Street, he suddenly twisted his ankle and fell to the ground. He got up in a somewhat awkward manner and looked around vigilantly.
"With Zhaocai away, I feel the house is a lot quieter," Jiang You stood up, yawned, and walked towards the store, "Okay, let's go to bed. Do you like Tang Xiaotian?"
"Yes, she is pretty."
He closed the shop door.
"Wake me up at 9:30 tomorrow and buy some green dumplings for breakfast. I miss Sun Mo a little bit."
…
It's late at night .
Su Wangshu saw on the surveillance screen that Huang Juan’s head moved.
She opened her eyes.
The light in the cell was always on, whether it was day or night. She lost track of time. How long had she been here? One day, two days...
She is dying.
…
Jiang You was awakened by the sound of rain.
He opened his eyes and saw that the sky outside the window was overcast .
He sat up, first reached for his glasses and put them on, then reached for his phone and checked the time, it was a quarter past ten. He scratched his hair and got out of bed. After a quick wash, he went upstairs and opened the store door.
The rain is a bit heavy.
He glanced into the yard.
I didn't put away the recliner and coffee table last night, so they got wet.
He found an umbrella, held it up and went out to open the gate. Then he saw Lin Yu carrying a bag of fruit and a box of milk, walking towards him not far away.
After Lin Yu stopped in front of him, he welcomed him in and said, "You're so polite."
"A little token of my appreciation," Lin Yu placed the fruit and milk on the long table after entering the store, "You saved my life."
"It's up to you."
After they sat down on both sides of the long table, Jiang You asked, "What's your situation now?"
"After I came back, I occasionally had some strange dreams. In the dreams, I seemed to be split into two parts," Lin Yu described his symptoms. "One part of me turned into a monster, and the other part was very calm, as if examining the monster."
"What about when you're awake?"
"Yes, sometimes I get distracted and I seem to see something at that time."
"What?"
"I don't know either," Lin Yu thought for a moment, "It just feels different from what I usually see. I went to see Taoist priests and monks, but they couldn't see the problem with me. After knowing my situation, they advised me to relax."
"I think I know."
Lin Yu looked at Jiang You nervously.
"Your current situation is like this. I gave you a postcard at that time. You don't need to worry about what it is. Your soul is attached to it. You must have eaten a lot of the ghost's soul at that time, and some of it escaped into the black bead," Jiang You explained, "so your soul is not united with your body now, and there are some impurities in your soul."
"How can we be united then?"
"It's difficult. You have to figure out how to digest it yourself, the postcards and all that stuff."
"Can't you get them out?"
"You'll die if you force it out."
"How long can I live?" Lin Yu asked.
Jiang You thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any religious beliefs?"
"No, I am a member of the Communist Party."
