Chapter 365: Brother 193 Pit Slag_2
Secretary Zhao thought for a mont, seeming to recall sothing, “Ah, yes, I heard from soone at the iron shop that her last na is Lu…or was it Gu?”
As dusk approached, Gu Jiao finished her day of diagnosis and treatnt, making a final visit to observe Gu Chenglin’s condition.
Gu Chengfeng had sothing to ask her.
Now, every ti he sees at and fish dishes on the table, he is reminded of Gu Chenglin’s surgery. Those successive images… were simply too horrifyingly graphic!
If this continues, he fears he might beco a monk! He wants to know, is there any cure for his condition?
However, Gu Jiao didn’t give him a chance to speak and walked away instantly!
...
“Hey, you’re leaving just like that?” Gu Chengfeng asked, looking annoyed.
Gu Jiao glanced at him indifferently.
Gu Chengfeng composed himself, “What if there’s danger with my younger brother?”
“There’s Doctor Song.” Gu Jiao replied.
Gu Chengfeng was at a loss for words.
This Doctor Song looked like a newbie. He was the one who stitched Gu Chengfeng up after he got injured when the music hall collapsed. The stitches were off and looked horrible! Plus, it took an awful long ti to heal!
“If you’re not satisfied, you can go to another dical hall.” Gu Jiao said nonchalantly, walked to the door, handed over so instructions to Doctor Song and encouraged him, “It’s rare to see a serious patient with a wound like this in the chest. Cherish this opportunity to practice.”
Doctor Song felt inspired: “I will!”
Gu Chengfeng wore a blank expression: “…”
Is it really cool to take advantage of patients like that at your dical hall?
“Ah, right. Let’s settle the bill.” Gu Jiao said, tossing a sheet into Gu Chengfeng’s arms.
Gu Chengfeng took a look: “Why is it another thousand taels?! Didn’t you say that my brother’s dication and all other expenses only cost a few dozen taels?”
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow: “This isn’t for him, it’s for you.”
Guchengfeng widened his eyes, “What’s wrong with ?”
Gu Jiao shrugged, “I did give you an injection.”
Gu Chengfeng was furious, “And that costs a thousand taels?! You were taking advantage of , weren’t you? Charging after attacking ?”
Gu Jiao gave a sinister smile and glanced at Gu Chenglin, “If you won’t pay, we’ll see what happens.”
Gu Chengfeng: “…!!”
Madam Yao and Gu Changqing had already left; the maid Gui was always weeping and was driven away by Gu Chengfeng, leaving a taciturn servant boy behind.
At night, Gu Chengfeng and the servant were left to look after Gu Chenglin.
Gu Jiao returned ho with a small backpack.
Xiao Liulang and the others had returned from Guozijian and Qinghe Academy. The courtyard was abuzz with the familiar sounds of ho.
Gu Jiao hadn’t slept all night. Xiao Liulang didn’t want her to have to cook after returning, so he decided to prepare dinner himself. However, the entire family objected.
Being tortured once a day by his cooking was already enough. If there was a second ti, they might not live to see the next day.
Fortunately, the old priest was ho today. The old lady picked up the kitchen knife and drove the priest back into the kitchen.
Gu Jiao first set down her small backpack in the eastern room and then went to the backyard.
“Gu Jiao, Gu Jiao!” The young monk ran over, raised his small head, and looked at Gu Jiao cutely, “One day apart is like three autumns, Gu Jiao. We haven’t seen each other in three years. I missed you so much!”
Gu Jiao twitched her mouth, where did he learn such cheesy lines?
“Gu Jiao, did you miss ?” The young monk continued to act cute.
“Yes.” Gu Jiao responded while rubbing his small bald head.
Hmm, so hair was starting to grow back.
The young monk grabbed Gu Jiao’s hand, “Gu Jiao, was it you who hugged last night? Did you miss terribly?”
Gu Jiao glanced at Xiao Liulang chopping wood in the courtyard and nodded at the young monk, “Yes, indeed.”
The young monk raised his chin proudly, “I knew it!” Seeming to rember sothing, he took Gu Jiao to a small basin, pointing to the fish inside it, “Gu Jiao, look! This was given to by my good friend!”
“You have good friends now?” Gu Jiao was surprised. The young monk wasn’t a particularly social child, and she hadn’t heard of him having any friends.
“His na is Xu Zhuzhu from the class next door. Zhuzhu, like the porridge!” The young monk said.
She was pleasantly surprised that he had made friends with a classmate from the class next door.
She and Xiao Liulang had always been worried that the young monk was too precocious, unable to blend in with children his age. However, he also had a different way of thinking from adults. In the long run, he might beco isolated.
The young monk showed off his pet fish, “Beautiful, right?”
Gu Jiao reluctantly said, “…Beautiful, quite beautiful. What type of fish is this?”
She had never seen such an ugly fish before.
The young monk said seriously, “Xu told this is a piranha.”
