The ancients loved to listen to operas, but they could not do much except listen to operas, especially women.

It is difficult to hear operas in the countryside. The nearest theater is also in the town, so there are still many copper coins to enter, which the country people can't bear to listen.

Although the old lady can't sing, she can speak in detail.

"Where are you listening to the show?" Gu Jiao leaned over and asked.

"I don't remember." The old lady shook her head and said.

Seeing that she didn't look like she was lying, Gu Jiao said, "Then do you remember anything else?"

The old lady thought seriously: "It's gone."

Gu Jiao: "..."

Gu Jiao said again: "Then can you stop fooling people like this in the future?"

The old lady thought seriously again: "No."

Gu Jiao: "..."

--

As the end of the year approaches, Gu Jiao becomes busy, so she doesn't care about staring at the old lady at all times. The old lady occasionally acts like a monster, but she can keep it herself, so she doesn't cause trouble for Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang.

Later, Gu Jiao went to the temple again. The master in charge of property had not returned yet, so Gu Jiao decided to come back after the New Year.

The academy held another exam before the New Year. I wonder if it was affected by the theft incident, but Gu Dashun's performance this time was obviously much weaker and he suddenly fell to the tenth place in the class.

Gu Xiaoshun's grades are very stable and he is still the last.

Xiao Liulang rose one place, but this time it was not because he did well in the exam, but because he was the second to last and fourth to last, he took leave when he was sick and tied for the last place with Gu Xiaoshun.

Many teachers in the academy knew about the eight-legged essays that Xiao Liulang had entered, but he had never written any articles since then and basically handed in blank papers for the exam.

Some people suspect that he had finished his talents, while others suspected that he had cheated and admitted to school at first, but Dean Li has always firmly believed that Xiao Liulang was talented.

No matter what others say, he doesn't want to give up on Xiao Liulang.

The imperial examination will be held every three years, and the autumn examination will happen next year. If you miss it, you will have to wait for the next three years.

Candidates participating in the autumn examination must first pass the county examination and pass the scholar.

The county examination is once every three months, and once during the Chinese New Year. President Li hesitated for a moment and reported Xiao Liulang the name without authorization.

Gu Jiao is not aware of all this. The academy is on annual leave. Tomorrow is the day to perform surgery on Xiao Liulang. She has to ensure her sleep and adjust herself to her best condition.

In fact, she didn't do too much of this kind of surgery in her previous life. It's logical that she doesn't have to have psychological burdens at all. However, the surgery on strangers is different from surgery on Xiao Liulang.

Such a perfect cub, she could not leave any regrets on him.

Before going to bed, Gu Jiao checked the small medicine box. Sure enough, all the anesthetics and injections needed for the operation had appeared.

These drugs were not sold in pharmacies in their previous lives, they were all medicines from the institute. Gu Jiao seriously suspected that as long as the institute did not go bankrupt, her medicine box could be replenished all the time.

Well, it's a good thing!

Gu Jiao slept happily, then got up and cooked the medicine for the old lady.

When Gu Jiao brought the medicine to the old lady's house, the old lady hesitated to look at the pills on the plate, then looked at the medicine juice in the bowl, frowned and said, "Why do I think this medicine can be drunk or not?"

"You are thinking too much, decoctions are as important as pills." Gu Jiao said without changing her face.

The old lady drank the pills and soup suspiciously, and she rolled her eyes so hard that she was so bitter that she seriously suspected that Gu Jiao was here to take revenge on her usual acts of being accused of her.

Gu Jiao still entrusted the old lady to Xue Ningxiang, and then went to the clinic with Xiao Liulang to take Luo Er's ox cart.

Feng Lin would never miss such an important day.

He was waiting in the clinic early, but as he became more and more angry today, he was unwilling to sit inside and wait, and he froze into a small popsicle outside.

Feng Lin saw the little couple on the ox cart at first sight and his face darkened.

He had the urge to scold a man and a woman, but he pressed him down. Brother Xiao was right. This woman was becoming more and more shameless and always stuck to Brother Xiao!

Gu Jiao looked calm when she saw Feng Lin: "You haven't gone back to celebrate the New Year?"

Feng Lin snorted: "My home is so far away, why are you going back?"

Only then did Gu Jiao remember that the transportation in ancient times was inconvenient. The distance that could be reached in one day in the previous life of the high-speed rail was probably a month away here. Feng Lin might have not arrived home yet, and the annual leave was over.

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Feng Lin, who punched the cotton: "..."

The days were decided in advance, and Manager Wang and the old doctor were waiting in the clinic just as dawn.

Feng Lin and Gu Jiao both followed in.

The old doctor first asked Xiao Liulang about the medical fumigation at home these days.

"There is medicine before going to bed every night." Xiao Liulang said truthfully.

Every night when he got home from school, Gu Jiao had already prepared the meal and boiled his medicine.

The old doctor nodded.

Feng Lin said: "Doctor Zhang, is Brother Xiao's legs almost healed?"

The old doctor said: "Whether it is good, you will not know after the operation."

"What did you say? Surgery?" Feng Lin was stunned.

A hint of surprise also flashed through Xiao Liulang's eyes.

Gu Jiao was worried that this would happen, so she never told them that surgery in this era was not popular, and everyone's acceptance was not high, and it was generally believed that it would only be used on the battlefield.

Feng Lin was frightened and said, "Doctor Zhang! You didn't say it before!"

Of course the old doctor would not pour out the truth and said seriously: "That wasn't the conditions at that time. Now that the medicine has been fumigated for a while, the meridians have been opened, and the surgery can be done."

But this is a big deal after all, and it is necessary to use a knife on a person's body. Feng Lin hesitated: "Is there no other way except surgery?"

"Yes." The old doctor nodded.

"Can you succeed?" Feng Lin asked again.

"This cannot be guaranteed." The old doctor replied with a conscience. "If it works, he can resume normal walking. If it fails, he may be worse than now."

This is what Gu Jiao said at the beginning. Even if she is the most powerful doctor in the institute, she would not dare to boast about Haikou that there is no risk in any surgery.

"Brother Xiao..." Feng Lin gave up. He was a conservative and unwilling to take such a big risk.

Xiao Liulang moved the corners of his lips lightly and said casually: "Then let's take the surgery, I'll bother Dr. Zhang."

He promised so quickly that even Gu Jiao looked at him.

In fact, even after being together for so long, Gu Jiao had never really understood him, but at that moment, she seemed to feel a hint of cold indifference in him.

It's like...he doesn't mind that the surgery may fail.

Is he really brave, or does he care about his own life at all?

After half a year, the little guy at home was feeling uncomfortable again. This time the local hospital had no choice but to come to Wuhan. The diagnosis given by doctors from different departments was different. The department of neurology said it was a psychological problem and asked the hospital to be treated with hints. The orthopedic doctor said it was a subluxation of the atlantoaxial joint, so he asked him to go home for traction and opened a neck brace.

She had an idea: "I'm not hospitalized! I don't want a neck brace, either!"
