The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 41 Lost
Not long after Zhang Xiaofa walked out of the Lin family's villa, he heard a dull thunder in his ears.

Looking up, I saw a few lightning flashes in the night sky, and the wind blew the leaves on both sides of the road rustling.The air became more and more humid, and a flock of blackbirds skimmed low over rows of roofs: a heavy rainstorm was imminent.

He remembered the last time he waited alone on the street for Mr. Zhang Lao's carriage in the pouring rain.

Right now, with the bag of books that almost killed him, he urgently needs the help of the old man so that he can finish reading it in the shortest possible time and find the clues to solve the mystery as soon as possible.

What's more, he, who is depressed, longs for a safe haven for his soul to seek true love and warmth in troubled times.

Lin Mi's house is three streets away from where Mr. Zhang lives, which is not too far away.He was carrying a bag, carrying books and clothes, and rushed to the old gentleman's house at a sprint speed.Bigger and bigger raindrops fell mercilessly on the dusty ground.

At the end of the alley, he saw the familiar yard again by the dim street lamp.This is the place where he originally planned to go in the morning, but had to arrive at night due to an accident.

After a few loud knocks on the door, Mr. Zhang Lao's nephew, a doctor, came and opened the door.

Seeing that he was carrying a heavy wet bag in his hand, he asked curiously:

"Brother, did this come out of the water?"

"I fell into the water today and almost died."

Hearing that he couldn't continue, the doctor quickly closed the door, and helped the boy carry the bag into the house.

The two old men took him to sit down with concern and brought him hot tea and snacks.After drinking tea and snacks, he untied his book bag, took out a book and opened it, ready to ask for advice.

When Mr. Zhang saw that the contents of the book were all in Manchu, he was quite surprised: "Little Fa, how much of the words in the book can you understand?"

He struggled to read a few pages, closed the book and replied, "A third of each page can be recognized, and most of the rest is guesswork."

"You are already very good. No one in my class can know so many college students." The old man nodded, his eyes full of encouragement and approval.

Zhang Xiaofa smiled embarrassedly, "Sir, I will record the key and difficult points of each book, please read these books when you have time, and help me answer my questions." The old man readily agreed.

He took out a large handful of silver dollars from his bag and put them on the table, and looked at the old man's nephew gratefully: "Brother doctor, thank you for saving me and Lin Mi, otherwise we would not be in this world. This is what I should pay Medical expenses. Please accept it."

The doctor smiled and waved his hands: "I, Zhang Wenxuan, will give you free visits without charging a penny. But brother is looking forward to drinking your wedding wine."

He shook his head and sighed softly: "Brother Wenxuan, I'll treat you to a drink another day. The wedding is too unreliable."

Zhang Wenxuan heard the meaning of his words and guessed that he had encountered emotional troubles.Dr. Zhang happened to be in a relationship with a girl and had some experience.

"Is there a problem between the two of you, or does the adult in her family disagree?"

Zhang Xiaofa said lightly: "The relationship between me and her is very unrealistic. It's better to get rid of each other as soon as possible, and minimize the harm to each other." His expression seemed indifferent, but his heart was bleeding.

Thunder roared outside the window, the rainstorm hit the window lattice, water flowed down the wall, and wet the ground.Seeing that he was exhausted physically and mentally, Zhang Wenxuan told him to rest as soon as possible.

Mrs. Zhang told him that there was a room in the house specially packed for him, which was next door to Zhang Wenxuan's room.Since he went to work at the school, I look forward to his coming back every weekend.

He thanked him with emotion: what he enjoys here is the treatment of his family; elsewhere, he is just a guest.The school dormitory is not called home.

As soon as he entered the room, he fell limply on the bed.

The scene when she hurriedly left the hall appeared in front of her eyes: she was leaning against another person drowsily, unable to drink.

The neckline of her dress has slipped off, and the gleaming brooch, against the beautiful reddish cheeks after drinking, is like a peach blossom blooming in spring...

Zhang Xiaofa finally tasted the taste of broken love.Before time travel, a brother in the university dormitory was so sad that he almost jumped off the building because of his broken love. At that time, he still thought it was such an exaggerated and ridiculous thing.
Now, before he had a serious relationship, he reluctantly cut off this sincere first love. This feeling is simply too painful to live.

He replayed the classic lines of "A Chinese Journey to the West" in his mind, and thought sadly: Zizunbao lost Zixia, but at least he had a passionate love, what are he and Lin Mi...

Suddenly, he vaguely remembered the girl who claimed to be Gu Qilan's classmate who he treated coldly in the garden of Lin's family.Perhaps, he also inadvertently hurt others deeply.

He wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep in this torrential rain.

Lin Mi lay on the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and cried bitterly with the thunder and lightning outside the window.

After being drunk, he was sent back to the bedroom and fell asleep for several hours.Waking up in the middle of the night with a splitting headache.

Mr. Lin invited doctors and nurses to give his daughter medicine to sober up.

When I gradually regained consciousness, I heard the voices of my parents and my cousin in the room, so I closed my eyes and continued to lie down.

In the middle of the night, Mrs. Lin asked Lin Yitang who was guarding the bed to leave, and gently closed the door. Only those who were secretly crying were given the freedom to vent.

She took off the brooch from her skirt, held it tightly in her hand, and spent the only birthday that shed tears since she was a child. "I hope he will be fine..." Tired of crying, she murmured and fell asleep again.In the dream, she saw him waiting for her on campus, holding a bouquet of pure white gardenias in his hands.

In another mansion in the city, Zhu Juanjuan stared nervously at a thermometer.

At the sixth measurement, the numbers finally dropped a bit.

She ran to the bed, reached out to test the temperature on Qijiang's forehead, and found that it was not as hot as during the day.

In the evening, the second young master of the Gu family came home with a thick bandage on his head and obvious injuries on his face.

He put the gift gently on the table, and told a series of events that happened later that day.

She was feeling relieved that Qilan had turned the danger out of danger, but found that Qijiang had already fallen asleep leaning on a chair, unable to wake up no matter what, she stretched out her hand and felt her whole body was hot.

Juanjuan boldly decided to keep him at home to recuperate while his father was still on a field trip, and got his mother's support.

The doctor saw it and diagnosed it as a cold and fever caused by catching cold in the water.

After prescribing the medicine and leaving, she still worked hard all night: she used cold compresses, feeding medicine and other methods, and stayed up all night.It's just that my mother has to take care of her.

Mr. Gu received a call from Zhu Juanjuan at night and learned about Qijiang's overnight stay.He only told the eldest wife quietly, as for how Qi Ming feels, it doesn't matter...
