Celestial Masters Alliance

Shan Yu saw my pale face and took me to the hospital garden to calm down for a long time before I accepted the reality. Anyway, he is still alive now, which is better than anything else. As a brother, I will do my best to let him Get well soon. I wanted to chat with Zhao Shuang alone, so I sent Shan Yu away, ran outside the hospital gate and started wandering around. I found a clean and hygienic restaurant among the many meals, and packed pig trotter soup and pork knuckles.

Back at the hospital, Zhao Shuang was lying on the bed calmly, staring at the white ceiling in a daze. I put the packed things on the table and pretended to be lighthearted and said, "I almost became a family member of a martyr."

Zhao Shuang glanced at me and didn't answer.

I opened the pig's trotter soup and shook it at him and said, "Get up, drink some. It's good for you."

He just nodded slightly.

I adjusted the position of the bed and brought the soup to him, but he dodged for a moment, so I had to put the spoon to his lips, and he drank the soup obediently.

"Do you understand your situation?" I took out a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth.

He nodded slightly.

"I plan to take you home, what do you think?" I put down the soup bowl in my hand and stared at him.

"Have you discussed this with your mother?" he finally asked.

"I told you, but I'm taking you back to my place, Uncle Gang..." I shook my head, not wanting to mention this person. "I have an aunt in the shop who cooks, food is taken care of, and everything else is easy to handle. Don't worry, I can take good care of you!"

Zhao Shuang curled his lips and said, "I'll have to take the anti-inflammatory medicine for a few more days. I'll have to trouble you to stay with me in bed these days."

We tacitly laughed at the sudden respect for each other. "Come! Drink more pig's trotter soup, it will heal quickly! I also bought pork knuckles, look! They are all alive."

"Have you lost your IQ again? How can you feed greasy food to patients?"

"It's up to you whether you want to eat or not. You dare to be picky about food, and I'm spoiling you." Even so, I removed all the fatty parts from the pig's knuckles and only fed him some lean meat.

"Is it Shan Yu you're talking about love at first sight?" Zhao Shuang asked without gossip.

"Yeah! Good girl, right?" I said somewhat proudly.

Zhao Shuang shook his head and sighed. Seeing his behavior, I asked, "What's wrong? Is she married? Or does she have a boyfriend?"

"No, my intuition tells me that it's better for you not to get close to her."

"Hey! Brother, it's not easy for me to have sex. Can you please stop hitting me?"

Zhao Shuang shook his head again and stopped talking.

In the evening, Zhao Shuang's leaders came to express their condolences, and I had to cheer up and socialize.

"Are you a family member of Comrade Zhao Shuang? We have been waiting for you!" A broad and fat uncle shook my hand enthusiastically as soon as he entered the door.

I nodded and responded politely: "Yes! Yes! Zhao Shuang is usually very strong, and he plans to bear the responsibility himself if something happens. Thanks to the leader's careful care, otherwise no one in the family would know that something happened to him."

The leader held my hand and patted my back gently with the other hand: "Comrade Zhao Shuang usually performs very well in the unit. We all praise him very much. His father and I are old colleagues. Something happened." , I really don’t have the face to see you!”

"It is natural for a public servant of the country to be injured when doing things for the country, even if it means sacrifice." Of course I was talking politely, but when I said this kind of polite words, I subconsciously clenched my teeth and glanced at Zhao Shuang. He pursed his lips at me.

"It's rare for family members to understand, but your understanding makes me feel even more guilty." He turned around and waved to a young man, who immediately took out an envelope from his briefcase and handed it over. The fat leader put the envelope in my hand, looked at me and said sincerely: "Comrade Zhao Shuang is the best comrade here. The leaders unanimously decided to award him with second-class meritorious service. A ceremony will be held after all the comrades are discharged from the hospital. Please come and witness." He patted the envelope in my hand and said, "Here is a little condolence money, please keep it."

I glanced at Zhao Shuang, he nodded, and I quickly said thank you.

"The leaders are all here now. If you have any requests, please feel free to mention them. We will do our best to meet your requests."

I looked at Zhao Shuang again, and this time he took the initiative and asked me to go home to recuperate. The leader agreed very readily and promised to arrange a vehicle for us to go back.

After I thanked him, the leader hurriedly went to express condolences to several other family members.

I weighed the envelope in my hand and sat next to Zhao Shuang: "I almost lost my life, so I gave him five thousand condolences."

Zhao Shuang looked at me in surprise: "You didn't even open it, how did you know it was five thousand?"

I tossed the envelope in my hand with some pride: "Brother, I have a special talent. As long as I pass money, I can tell how much it is by just weighing it. If you don't believe me, can you check it out?"

Zhao Shuang took the envelope and tapped the money inside with the hand holding the needle. He nodded to me and said, "It's not like you have a talent that you can show off, so there's nothing to be proud of."

"Brother, I'm a cow. If you accept it or not, fight if you don't."

Zhao Shuang smiled, put the money back in the envelope, and put it in my hand: "Please help me arrange my life these days!"

I slapped the envelope back and said, "Are you looking down on my brother? Can he take your hard-earned money? Don't worry, he will treat you with good wine and meat, just fine."

Zhao Shuang put the envelope in my hand again and threatened: "If you don't take it, I won't go back with you!"

"Huh? You're threatening me, right? With a broken hand and leg, do you want to go home and starve to death, or do you want to stay in this hospital for two months?"

Zhao Shuang turned his face and ignored me, so I could only shrug: "Okay! I'll take it first and give you a big red envelope when you get married."

After hearing what I said, he turned back and smiled at me.

I put the money in my bag and put it away. A "ding" sound reminded me of its existence. I brought the bell with me before I went out. When I sat in front of Zhao Shuang again with the bell, he stared at the bell in my hand and his eyes widened. I picked up the bell and waved it in front of his eyes: "Is this bell yours?"

He shook his head slightly: "I keep my bell at home."

"Didn't anyone steal?"

"Impossible! Where did your bell come from?"

I told the story of how I got the bell with great emotion. Zhao Shuang's eyes were blurred as he recited the last words left to me by the old monk: "Destiny and destruction...neither birth nor death..."

"Who do you think he wants me to tell?" I raised my hand and waved it in front of Zhao Shuang's eyes, for fear that he would be stunned.

He shook his head and took a closer look at the bell: "My bell was given to me by my mother. I remember when I was nine years old, she said it was a very important thing and told me not to lose it. Maybe she would send it out in the future. use."

"Then did your mother tell you the origin of the bell?"

"No!"

This reminded me of the jade lock. When my aunt handed the jade lock to me, she just said: "This is a very important thing." She didn't mention the origin. Where did Auntie’s jade lock come from?

"The old monk didn't ask me to bring a message to your mother, right? By the way, where are your grandparents?"

"I don't have grandparents. The specific reason why I don't have any is that my mother has never mentioned it."

"Then who should I take the message to?"

Zhao Shuang shook the bell in his hand and asked, "Can you give me this?"

"Of course! Otherwise, why would I bring it?"

He handed the bell to me: "Put it away for me first, and give it to me when I go home to pack my things in two days."
