Volume 9, The Last Round, Section 476: Cheap Labor
It started to rain again in Beijing.
There was rarely such quiet rain in the summer. When the rainwater flowed down from the eaves of the old house, there was a tinkling sound, and the water droplets probably formed a curtain outside the corridor. When she opened her eyes, she saw the skylight filtering through the window.
Come.
There was a smell of blood in the room, and more of a strong smell of medicine. My body still felt tired. My left hand was fixed with a plaster and I was running an IV. There was a soreness and numbness in some places. It was probably the effect of the anesthetic.
It hadn't dissipated yet, and there was still pain in some places. She looked at the ceiling quietly.
Still...alive...?
Before she could fully wake up from her trance, she heard faint voices outside the door. She closed her eyes, and the fatigue fell everywhere like dust in the air. It seemed like nothing, but it was extremely heavy.
.
Then, there was a "crash" sound, and someone opened the door. White light soaked the yard behind the person, and the air was shaken by the voice: "Excuse me." The Japanese pronunciation seemed to be suddenly stirred by something sharp.
, her heart shrank, and she was grabbed tightly by an invisible big hand. She almost felt that the skin of her entire body was tightening in an instant. The pain became an insignificant thought, and countless scenes in the past four years were flashed in the gray field of vision.
past.
A hand fell on her forehead, and she heard the voice say: "Wake up?"
Like a little girl meeting a stranger for the first time in her life, it took a long time before she shrank her head timidly while trembling slightly:
"……Um."
******************************
Life is unpredictable. As a girl who grew up in Japan as a child, she also had a taciturn character and did not like to interact with others. Although she later did a lot of Chinese training when she was in Jianghai, Xun has never been a good person in terms of Chinese.
Excellent, after all, language has to be spoken, and no amount of talent can make up for this gap. But at this moment, this girl, who speaks Chinese with a Japanese accent, truly feels the meaning of this idiom.
.
The rain continued. The rain that was quiet in the morning became violent in the afternoon. The sky was dark and dark, as if it was about to fall into the night. The hut became quiet amidst the endless sound of rain. She lay on the bed and watched slowly.
If you turn your head hard, you can see the warm yellow light on the door next door. Jiaming moved a low stool and sat by the door, immersed in reading the comic book she got back four years ago.
Maintaining such a posture makes people feel tired. It is not easy. But every time she looks back into the darkness, she will always be suspicious of all the things in the last moment. The warm yellow light, the young man reading under the light. Even
Is everything peaceful in the heavy rain a dream? Is it an hallucination caused by missing her for the past four years? Or is it just a precious fragment that remains in her memory? In any case, from last night to now, there seems to be something in the air.
There is an element of fantasy that she can feel but cannot grasp. She doesn't care about the truth of everything. Sometimes she also wonders if she has died. Then she can live forever, hoping as if it were real.
And in hallucinations. Of course these are not important.
She just kept wanting to confirm. When she looked back again, the person in her memory was sitting by the door with warm yellow light, accompanying her like this.
She could even imagine that it was as if the heavy rain had flooded the entire outside world. Only this house was floating in the endless ocean. And he was sitting by the door reading a book. She was lying on the bed looking at him.
Four years ago or now four years later. These were enough scenes to make her give up everything in exchange for happiness.
Sometimes just thinking about it can make you as satisfied as a hamster who has collected enough food for the winter.
Of course, every time she turned her head so hard and carefully, Jia Ming by the door would look over here, confirm everything, and then ask: "Drink water?"
Sometimes she nodded, sometimes she shook her head. From morning to afternoon, she had to change intravenous drips twice, and was carried to the toilet once by Jiaming. The injuries on her body were serious for ordinary people, but for someone who was walking on the line of life,
For these people, although it is also very tragic, it is not really life-threatening or troublesome. After practicing for a period of time, they will recover quickly and will not leave too many sequelae in their future lives.
"Tomorrow, ask them to find someone to help take care of you. There's nothing else, but you can't always ask me to help you with things like going to the toilet and taking a shower.
"
At present, half of Xun's body is covered with plaster. Although it is inconvenient to move, it is not like taking off clothes and other actions that require Jiaming's help. Xun doesn't care about these things, but thinking about it, Jiaming shouldn't take care of it.
He said this to himself and nodded "Yeah". Jia Ming looked at the comic, and after a while he raised his head and said: "What's going on with the wall over there? It seems like it was broken and replaced newly."
"It's... Buntaro..."
"Well……"
Jia Ming knew about the entanglement between Buntaro and Xun early on. After a while, he shook his head and smiled: "It's not easy for him to pick up girls after so many years..."
"I told him...to stop him..."
"Ah……"
In the afternoon, amid the fierce sound of rain and the occasional dull conversations in the room, I tried to speak a few times and asked, "When will the teacher come back?" Jia Ming said that he would stay here for a while because of something else.
, she felt relieved a little, and asked about Lingjing, Shasha, and Jianghai. There was something she wanted to say, but she couldn't say it at this time. Jiaming asked her to sleep more and rest, but she closed her eyes.
Soon it opened again
I have to go back and make sure Jiaming is still there.
In the evening, Jiaming went to Yuechi's canteen to get food and came back to eat. Xun was still not suitable for eating on the first day of the operation. In the evening, Jiaming moved the TV he bought four years ago to her room.
Who would have known that after four years of no maintenance, the TV broke and could not be put back in. Jiaming had to disassemble it for repairs, clean the dust, reset the circuit, and blow it with a hair dryer for a while before it could play normally. That night, the two of them faced each other.
The small color TV with poor picture quality watched two episodes of a Japanese idol drama that I had not watched in many years, and then they went to bed.
At night, Jiaming got up four times to change the intravenous drip, feed her water, and carry her to the toilet.
In the next few days, Jiaming stayed here.
Regarding the incident provoked by Pei Luojia, the follow-up work will be a long process. The Yuechi family is also busy these days, but they have taken advantage after all. In terms of politics, Kiyokawa Heiji has used Kaoru to collect information
The evidence began to suppress political opponents, causing an uproar. Jia Ming didn't care about these things. After the Yuechi family arranged for a full-time female doctor to take care of Xun the next day, all he needed to do was read comics every day.
He walked around when he was bored. Under everyone's exaggeration, he has almost become a legend for being able to live in Xun's yard. There are almost no people who are qualified to talk to him or dare to talk to him, although there are some
Some young people who were younger than Buntaro and Kaoru saw that he was just a boy, so they were doubtful about the legend, but none of them dared to explore it.
After all, even if they hadn't experienced the time when he killed Yu Shoucang, they had still seen the power that Xun showed this time. Xun was still alive, and it was said that he liked him very much. They didn't dare to provoke this man who was said to have a straightforward personality.
The eldest daughter of the family who doesn't give anyone face.
On the other hand, Miss Nakamura who was sent to take care of Xun, she used to be the doctor of Yuechi family, and she also took care of her. After a few days of getting along with her, for this young man who reads comics all day long - and shojo comics at that.
He also lost his fear and wariness, and was able to chat a few words with Xun and Jiaming. After all, when he had good intentions, Jiaming was indeed a more harmless guy than anyone else.
It is indeed a helpless thing to only read shoujo comics every day. The comics were bought by Xun four years ago. She had no research on this aspect, so she went to the bookstore to buy "good comics", and the boss naturally recommended a lot of them to her.
Jia Ming spent two or three days resignedly reading this pile of girls' comics. He just took out the old library card from Xun's unorganized junk drawer and ran to the moon pool.
Rent new books to read in the community outside my home.
The Yuechi family has always been divided into two parts: the inside and the outside. The old house inside is the core, and the outside community is much larger than the old house. It is composed of some family members, relatives, or middle- and high-level personnel of Chiying Weaving who are not involved in internal affairs.
It is a modern residential area with shops, medium-sized supermarkets, convenience stores, bookstores and even a small pedestrian street. There are also various people in the community. The library cards issued by insiders like Xun are basically valid forever.
Akira went to the bookstore every afternoon to get a bunch of books, magazines, etc. and went back to read them. On the fifth day, after entering the old house, he finally had sex with Tsukiike Masora, Kiyokawa Heiji and others.
Encounter by chance.
In fact, the people of the Yuechi family are currently a little unpredictable about Jiaming's character. They want to get close to such a powerful person, but they are afraid of accidentally messing things up. After he suddenly appeared for first aid five days ago,
Some of Yuechi's family members had expressed their intention to meet and talk tactfully through the doctor who helped with the surgery, but at that time Jiaming refused casually, as if it was a joke. Such expressions and responses were not formal, but they really needed to talk more formally.
What, maybe there is only one chance. Through the understanding of Dr. Nakamura in the past few days, they also felt that maybe this kind of casual chat, like a chance encounter, would appear more natural.
So, when Kiyokawa Heiji returned to Tsukichi's house for the first time in a few days, Tsukichi Masora seized the opportunity and went out for a walk with him. Then, he "encountered" a man holding a comic magazine.
Look at Jiaming walking away.
A lot of people came over there. Jia Ming, who was flipping through the magazine, raised his head, and then consciously moved to the side of the road. However, when Yuechi Zhengkong took the initiative to say hello, he had no choice but to raise his head, smile, and said in Japanese: "Yuechi
Sir, have you eaten?"
"Uh..." Masakora Yuechi naturally knew something about this Chinese-style greeting. He was stunned for a moment and then answered with a smile. He then introduced Kiyokawa Heiji and asked about Kaoru. After a few trivial words,
He probably understood Jiaming's record, but he had some doubts when facing the real person. Kiyokawa Heiji also participated in the conversation with a smile.
"Is Mr. Gu really Chinese?"
"yes."
"There are not many Chinese people who can speak such authentic Japanese."
"Coming to Japan to kill people will be helpful."
"Uh...hehe... Soga Soga..." Kiyokawa Heiji smiled, "Mr. Gu has been here for so long and knows the inside story very well. How do you feel about this place? What do you think?
"
"Ah, you mean Japan?"
"hehe……"
"Diaoyu Islands belong to China, thank you."
"..."
After a moment of silence, one of the bodyguards next to Kiyokawa Heiji almost yelled at "Baga" and pulled out his gun. However, Tsukichi Masora's knife hit everything, and half of his arm was numb like that. Under the dusk sunlight, Kiyokawa Heiji
Yuechi Zhengkong then laughed in agreement, Jia Ming lowered his head, turned the page of the comic, and then raised his head with a smiling face. The scene was embarrassing, Yuechi Zhengkong and others laughed quite silly.
Not long after, Jia Ming flipped through a comic magazine and walked past them. Yuechi Zhengkong and others watched his back go away, and then went to the other side.
Whenever he is absent-minded or meets someone who is too lazy to deal with, the hidden malice in Iaaki's heart will be expressed in a public way. Naturally, Kiyokawa Heiji's question is to ask Iaaki to make a decision on the future of Yuechi and Qingchuan interest groups.
A few words of advice, but after that answer, they naturally understood that Jia Ming had no idea about this matter at all. If he talked about Xun's affairs next, he might be able to give some face and cooperate in terms of interests.
It's probably impossible. In fact, they have to be lucky that most of the people who would let Jiaming play pranks like this are not regarded as enemies by him.
It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, but this is a measure of the recovery time of ordinary people. As for Xun, he can already leave the bed at this time. Although one leg and one hand are still in plaster, he relies on a wheelchair or
Even with a cane, I could barely move. In the next few days, Yuechi's family, who had not seen Xun too many times in several years, could finally see her occasionally appearing in the streets of the old house.
In the morning, Jiaming occasionally comes out to breathe fresh air. For him now, pure physical training has little meaning. Summer is foggy, and the natural scenery around Yuechi's house is still well protected.
Sometimes I go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. Sometimes I walk around on the path of Yuechi's house. Sometimes I sit on the bench next to the playground and watch the moon exercising on the playground in the morning mist.
The Chi family, whenever this happens, those guys will always be very nervous. Jiaming doesn't criticize or comment on each other's skills. He can take a look at every situation.
Sometimes when Xun saw Jiaming going out, she followed him out in a wheelchair. She didn't need Dr. Nakamura to follow her, she pushed the wheel with one hand and slowly walked to the canteen, asking them for the Chinese breakfast they had been specially told.
Soy milk, mung bean paste, steamed buns, etc. I held the things in my arms with my plastered hand and searched for the place where Jiaming might go in the early morning streets. The road was uneven and the wheelchair occasionally creaked.
Occasionally, people passing by would ask. She had a few patches on her face, but she still looked stunningly beautiful. Although her expression was cold and she still didn't have a smile, her soft voice was much more cordial compared to her previous indifference.
Many people who had not been able to talk to her before would even stutter when asked.
Buntaro pushed the wheelchair for her to find Jiaming once. After finding Kaoru, Kaoru said thank you, and Buntaro turned around and left. Probably in his heart, this fruitless bitter love finally came to an end.
u|View, Jiaming pushed her out for a walk in the evening. In front of Xun, Jiaming was too lazy to find boring topics to increase friendship. Xun was not a talkative character. Jiaming had to do more while staying in Japan.
What, why didn't she want to take care of it? She was very happy just to see him next to her. Of course, these four years still made her feel a little uneasy and she had something to say, but every time in front of Jiaming, she always said
It's impossible to tell.
What will happen in the future...
"Don't think too much, I like you too..."
Thinking about these, thinking about those, occasionally at night, holding the panda and facing the stars or the moon outside the window, Xun also started to think about gains and losses...
On the fourteenth day after Jiaming came here, it was already August.
Finally told Kaoru about his purpose of staying in Japan.
"I'm leaving tomorrow for a trip to Hokkaido."
"Uh, teacher... are you coming back?"
"I won't come back. I came here for two reasons. One is to deal with your affairs, and the other is to meet a person. Your affairs have been resolved. After meeting him, it's time to go back...
…”
"Well..." Xun lowered her head and blinked desperately. After a moment, she probably felt that this reaction was too rude, so she raised her head and asked, "Who does the teacher want to see?" God knows she doesn't know much about this issue.
No interest at all.
"Minamoto Yori Toso."
"Um."
As if hearing an insignificant name, Xun nodded absently, and the room became quiet. Jiaming picked up the tea cup with juice in front of him and took a sip. After a moment, he spoke casually: "There is one more thing.
"
"Um……"
"You wanted me to teach you something before, and you wanted to prove yourself in front of your father, but now you have probably done it. To the Yuechi family, it seems that you don't really belong to the Yuechi family these days. Hehe, you look even stranger than me.
, performed better during his time at Sacred Heart College.
In this case, let's leave. As for me, I have discussed with Lingjing and the others that we will open a surgery and orthopedics clinic in the future. Lingjing likes to play the piano. Shasha said that she can help, haha, but she is not in the mood. Of course
If you can't become a nurse, if you have no place to go, come over and help me in the future. The salary is not much, and there is no excitement as a killer. I just want to be more stable. You can consider it..."
"Um……"
Still absent-minded.
After a moment, Xun suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiaming, looking like he was about to cry...
That night, when Jia Ming put down the comic book and prepared to go to bed, he sighed slightly: "This is it...that's enough...another saving of money..." (To be continued
