Just a quick calculation, you are a fugitive!

Looking at the lonely rabbit lantern being pushed away from the shore by the river, Aliang suddenly regretted it.

This dime can buy two candies!

Even if he doesn't eat it himself, he can give it to his younger brothers and sisters.

Spendthrift, spendthrift!

There were footsteps beside him, and he turned his head. It was a familiar face.

The woman was wearing a thick cotton coat, and her whole body was almost wrapped up like a ball.

She held a rabbit lantern like his in her hand, squatted down with difficulty, carefully placed the lantern on the water, and pushed forward.

The rabbit lantern was pushed out a palm away, and soon turned back.

She frowned and continued to push, this time with more force. The lantern went out two palms away, but still turned back.

"Go, go faster."

She seemed a little anxious, and this time she used more strength.

Just a careless mistake, she slipped, and one foot stepped directly into the water.

Aliang felt cold under his feet.

The girl stared at her foot blankly, not retracting it, just staring at it, and then turned blankly to the rabbit lamp that floated back.

I don’t know what touched her, but suddenly her nose moved, and she buried her head in her knees and started crying.

“Hey, that…” Aliang suggested in a low voice, “If you want to cry, can you take your feet up first? It’s quite cold.”

If a girl catches a cold, she will cough all the time like the fourth aunt and stay in bed.

Unfortunately, his voice was too soft and was directly covered by the crying.

Aliang coughed and increased the volume.

“Hey, beautiful?”

The girl’s crying paused for a moment, and she raised her head in a daze.

Seeing this, Aliang finally breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at her feet.

“Cold.”

“Oh, thank you.”

The girl finally retracted her feet and continued to cry in her knees.

Aliang: “…”

No.

Don’t you take off your shoes and wipe your feet?

It’s really cold, I’ve caught a cold.

No, there are no foot cloths or clean shoes here.

Aliang stood up and looked at the gradually lively lantern festival. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and ran over.

Too expensive!

What a pair of broken shoes, sixty yuan a pair.

The same with towels, are they robbing money?

Aliang came back depressed and saw that the girl was still crying over there. He didn't care about the money and walked over to pat the girl on the shoulder.

The girl raised her head again.

She looked at Aliang blankly with a pair of red and swollen eyes.

"Here, change your wet shoes, and wipe them with this cloth."

Aliang squatted down with a stern face: "Did you encounter something? I tell you, there is no obstacle in the world that you can't overcome. I didn't cry even though the girl I like has a boyfriend~"

"Isn't it just a lamp?"

Aliang looked at the rabbit lamp that was quietly parked on the side: "I'll help you push it away."

He stretched out his hand and pushed it hard. The rabbit lamp really floated out with his force, but soon, it turned back.

Aliang: "!!!"

I don't believe it.

"Come again!"

The rabbit lamp floated out and came back.

"Hey, it must be that I was going in the wrong direction just now."

The rabbit lamp still floated back.

Aliang scratched his head: "I tell you, this may be, yes, it's the wind. The wind blows this way. Let's push it farther away."

"Puff."

Aliang was stunned and turned to look at the girl.

"You're not crying?"

The girl was about to cry again after hearing this.

"Hey, hey, hey, please don't cry anymore. If you want to cry, change your shoes first. I tell you, girls should take good care of their bodies, especially their feet. It's very painful to be cold, don't you know?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and said thank you in a low voice, then turned around and changed her shoes.

Dusk fell.

The light of the rabbit lamp shone on Aliang's face, full of relief.

"Hey, I think you look familiar. Have we met before?"

The girl shook her head slowly and whispered: "No?"

"I really think you look familiar. Hey, how old are you? Are you still studying or working?"

"I work."

"Where do you work?"

"The city hospital."

Aliang slapped his thigh: "I must have seen you before. I've been going to the hospital a lot recently. I must have seen you. Are you a nurse?"

The girl turned around and looked at him seriously: "Why did you go to the hospital?"

"This...it's a long story."

Aliang not only told about his classmate's bicycle fall, but also about the previous incident when he accompanied Su Chen to see Xu Jiating.

"Ah... Are you the nephew of that master?"

"Do you know my uncle?"

The girl nodded: "The incident in the obstetrics and gynecology department was actually quite a big deal. We all heard about it." She took out a yellow talisman from her arms, "We all went to ask for a peace talisman, for fear of being struck by evil spirits."

Aliang took a quick look and said: "It's obvious that your talisman was not drawn by my uncle. It may not work. I'll ask my uncle to get you one later."

"Thank you, I, I can buy it."

"It's just a talisman, don't be polite to me. By the way, why did you cry just now? You're still so sad?"

The girl's eyes darkened when she heard it.

She sniffed: "I, I just feel that I'm useless."

"How could it be?"

"My patient died. I clearly invited a teacher to come, but he still passed away."

"Ah?" Aliang scratched his head, "Birth, aging, illness and death, isn't this normal."

"His life span has come to an end. No matter how much you try to keep him, it's useless."

"Life span?" The girl was stunned for a moment. After realizing that Aliang's uncle was a master, she slowly nodded, "You're right. It seems to make sense."

Aliang was about to grin when she heard her ask, "But if the life span is fixed, what do we doctors do?"

"Doctor?" Aren't you a nurse?

Aliang was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that the girl was getting stuck in a dead end.

"No, the life span is fixed, but without a doctor, some people may have to lie down until they die, some may have to limp until they die, and some may die in pain."

"Uncle Zhao said that people are going to die. What's important is how to live. If you are sick or injured, you have to see a doctor. You can't just keep suffering, right?"

"So, doctors are still very important."

The girl didn't say a word.

She stared blankly at the river, not knowing what she was thinking.

Aliang simply pulled her up.

"Let's go, let's change places."

"Hey, my shoes."

The two of them went under the bridge with their wet shoes.

Aliang was proud: "The wind is not strong here, the lantern will definitely float far, why don't you try it?"

The girl nodded, squatted down, and slowly placed the rabbit lantern on the water.

This time the lantern floated directly down along the water.

She closed her eyes and clasped her hands, muttering something.

The light here was very dim, and Aliang could hardly see her face, but her nose moved.

He seemed to smell a fragrance.

It was faint, like magnolia.

It should be smeared with ointment, right?

When the girl opened her eyes and put down her hand, just when she wanted to get up, her body suddenly tilted.

"Hey, be careful..."

Aliang subconsciously reached out to grab, grabbed the girl's cotton jacket, but he was also dragged to the surface of the water.

Seeing that the two were about to fall, Aliang hurriedly shouted in panic: "Uncle, help!"

The next moment, a figure slowly emerged.

The Taoist force with green light rushed towards the water surface like a spider web.
