After Xiao Liulang came to town, he was immediately dragged to the hospital by his classmates.
There was a long queue outside the medical hall, all of whom came to see the genius doctor.
The two stood at the back of the line.
The classmate stood on tiptoe and looked around: "It's not too late, it should be able to line up."
"The car money, I'll give it to you later." Xiao Liulang said.
The classmate patted his chest: "You and I are classmates and hometowns, what are you doing politely? By the way, are you hungry?"
He was in a hurry to go out, and he didn't eat, and Xiao Liulang didn't even eat.
He took out a small clean bundle from his wide sleeve and opened it to reveal three beautiful cornmeal buns.
"Where did you get the steamed buns?" Xiao Liulang felt that these steamed buns were a little familiar.
The classmate said: "I took it from your stove, and it was just steamed when I went!"
Xiao Liulang frowned: "How many did you keep?"
The classmate said strangely: "Isn't there only three in total? You don't remember the steamed buns you made yourself?"
Xiao Liulang pursed his lips and said nothing.
After a while, he said, "Why didn't you leave one for her?"
The classmate was startled: "You mean that wicked woman? What do you keep for her? Isn't she harming you enough? Besides, she doesn't eat what you make!"
The classmate picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, and his eyes widened instantly: "Brother Xiao, why are the steamed buns you made today so delicious?"
Xiao Liulang walked out of the team.
The classmate was stunned: "Brother Xiao, where are you going? It's coming to you soon!"
Xiao Liulang didn't say anything, he just walked forward.
The classmate looked at the long dragon that was almost lining up in the alley behind, stomped his feet in a hurry, and said to the woman behind him, "Auntie, let's go to the toilet and come back right away!"
He caught up with Xiao Liulang: "What are you doing?"
"Buy sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Xiao Liulang said, walking through the alley to Li Ji's shop.
Li Ji is a century-old brand, and there are no less people queuing here than the medical center.
The classmate was anxious: "Are you crazy? You really bought sweet-scented osmanthus cake for that wicked woman! Did you know that Doctor Zhang only sits in the clinic for half a day? After you buy the sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the daylily will be cold!"
Xiao Liulang has a stubborn temper. Once he decides, eight horses can't pull it back.
An hour later, Xiao Liulang bought Li Ji's sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
"I hope Dr. Zhang hasn't left yet!" The classmate grabbed Xiao Liulang and went to the medical hall.
However, when they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, they found that the long queue had disappeared, and there were only a group of people watching the lively and a group of dignified officers and soldiers.
The classmate looked at the middle-aged man beside him and asked, "Uncle, what happened here? Why are there no doctors?"
The middle-aged man said: "Just now, a madman rushed into the medical hall, saying that the doctor of the medical hall had killed his mother-in-law and slashed with a knife, and everyone inside was slashed! Did you see the aunt at the door? She is The last one to go in, she just entered when the lunatic came! She was lucky and ran out, but she also fell and broke her head!"
Wasn't that aunt who was the one behind them at the time
If they didn't leave, then Xiao Liulang was the last to enter.
With Xiao Liulang's leg disease, he was absolutely unable to escape, so most of the people who were slashed were also him.
On the way back, neither of them said a word.
The sky was getting dark, the carriage was walking on the silent path, the wheels of the carriage creaked.
At this time, the horse-drawn carriages in the town were reluctant to run to the countryside. They spent twenty coppers to rent a mule carriage. There was no carriage, only a simple awning, which leaked air from the front and the rear.
Both of their hands and feet were frozen.
Suddenly, a thin and small figure broke into Xiao Liulang's sight.
Xiao Liulang's eyes narrowed.
This is a fork in the road.
The front is the road back to the village, and the west is the road to the market.
On the path from the market, Gu Jiao was carrying a heavy backpack and was walking out of breath.
The afterglow of the setting sun has dissipated, and she is caged in the last twilight, with thin bones.
She raised her hand to wipe the sweat, revealing the gauze on her wrist, which was bloodshot.
"Stop." Xiao Liulang said.
The coachman stopped the carriage.
"Why stop?" the classmate asked in confusion. Then, he saw Gu Jiao walking on foot.
Gu Jiao didn't seem to notice them, just treated them as an ordinary mule cart. Without raising her eyes, she turned around without squinting, and walked past the carriage.
"Come up." Xiao Liulang said.
Gu Jiao then turned her head and looked at Xiao Liulang on the mule cart in astonishment. Beside Xiao Liulang was the classmate who was still sitting in the daytime.
The classmates still had a look of disgust, but did not say anything about not allowing Xiao Liulang to pay attention to her.
"Come up." Xiao Liulang said again, his voice cold.
He is obviously a boy of sixteen or seventeen, but he has a calm and aura that does not belong to his age.
Gu Jiao hesitated for a while and went up.
She sat opposite Xiao Liulang and took the basket on her back and put it on the ground.
Xiao Liulang glanced at the basket and said, "Did you go to the market?"
Gu Jiao nodded: "Well, I went to sell two chickens and bought some rice and white noodles." Also, did something else.
Xiao Liulang gave her a deep look, as if he saw something, but he didn't say a word.
On the contrary, the classmates cast a strange look at Gu Jiao, is this stupid woman still doing business
Gu Jiao didn't seem to notice his scrutiny, and asked Xiao Liulang, "What about you? Did you see the doctor in the town today?"
"What else! It's all your fault! It wasn't because you were clamoring to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, how could we miss Doctor Zhang's consultation?" The classmates wouldn't tell her, because when I went to buy her sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, Brother Xiao avoided a disaster. .
"Then... it's really a pity." Gu Jiao lowered her eyes and muttered.
She said regretful words, but inexplicably made people feel that she had no regrets at all. Could it be that she already knew about the hospital
Impossible, with her urination, would she be so calm when she knew that she had saved Brother Xiao by mistake? I rescued Brother Xiao last time, and forced Brother Xiao to marry her.
The classmate sneered: "I ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake! It's not cheap for you!"
Gu Jiao calmly said, "Oh."
The classmate punched the cotton.
No one spoke after that.
A very elegant carriage approached.
The classmate's mind was swayed, and he sat upright and said, "Look! That's the dean's carriage!"
"What dean?" Gu Jiao asked.
The classmate said: "The dean of Tianxiang Academy! Brother Xiao is going to take the exam in three days! The dean is a native of Beijing. He used to be the first of the four talents in the capital. No one has surpassed him! With a single word of advice from him, he is better than a sage who has been studying for ten years! It would be great if I could be his disciple! But I heard that the dean has not accepted students for many years. I have never seen a long face…”
The classmates were chattering, and they were so excited that they forgot that they were talking to the person they hated the most.
on the carriage.
The dean in a white uniform sat respectfully by the side, and in the front seat was an old man in a commoner.
The old man's left arm was bandaged, and he was holding a small broken umbrella in his arms, and a large footprint could be seen on his face.
This kind of appearance made the Dean a little bit at a loss for words. He didn't know it, and he didn't dare to ask.
He bowed respectfully: "Why did you suddenly come out of the mountain? Don't tell the students, so the students will send someone to pick you up?"
Good morning(＾－＾)V
