Lord of Nine Stars

When Rong Taotao returned to the ward on the fourth floor of the hospital with a box of Sanxiu, a doctor came to the ward.

The doctor was performing a routine physical examination on Xiao Ziru, and at the same time, he was still singing songs in a low voice.

That beautiful melody can indeed soothe one's heart and soul, and Rong Taotao feels extremely comfortable listening to it. It's just a pity for the doctor that he has to sing to Xiao Ziru while standing in this cold and windy room.

However, the other party is a military doctor, his strength is guaranteed, and he should not be afraid of such cold.

Having said that, most voice soul skills come from ocean soul skills, which either stimulate people's brains or soothe people's minds. This seems to be unique to ocean soul skills.

There are snow soul skills that can soothe people's minds, such as Frost Death Warrior's Frost Silence, but as for sound-based snow soul skills, at least Rong Taotao has not seen them yet.

Seeing the doctor standing in front of Xiao Ziru and singing in a low voice, while swinging the pen in his hand, but Xiao Ziru was completely uncooperative, staring blankly in front of him, his attention was not on the pen at all, Rong Taotao couldn't help but sigh. .

Why.

Sighing, he hid the cigarette first. At this moment, Rong Taotao looked like a student who had done bad things.

The doctor finally completed his routine examination and walked out calmly. Rong Taotao, who was standing at the door, also followed the doctor out of the ward.

Rong Taotao looked at the slender and gentle male doctor and said, "Thank you for your hard work, doctor. What's your surname?"

"Yes. No need to worry, Cheng Qing." Dr. Cheng Qing responded and looked at Rong Taotao a few more times. He knew Rong Taotao, the famous soul general.

Rong Taotao asked: "Dr. Cheng, could you tell me his specific situation?"

Hearing this, Cheng Qing hesitated for a moment and said: "In fact, the patient's mood is very stable. At present, it seems that he has more of a psychological problem.

Yesterday he spoke and even apologized, but his words were not clear.

He showed different levels of communication barriers, first of all, verbal communication barriers, and secondly, at the level of non-verbal communication, his expression was relatively indifferent, he could hardly express his wishes with any body movements, and he was unwilling to give any feedback.

We all know the pain he has gone through over the years. So long-term companionship and constant communication are the best medicine to cure him. In fact, I am preparing to provide him with a task therapy method. "

Rong Taotao was stunned for a moment: "Mission?"

Doctor Cheng Qing smiled: "It's not a task like that of our soldiers, it's more like a children's game. For example, give him a pile of Chinese character cards and ask him to find one of the characters. When he succeeds, give him praise and rewards.

In this process, communication is constantly promoted, allowing him to slowly open his heart and accept the world and himself again.

But judging from his current state, it's really difficult to cooperate with me. You have also seen that when he faced me just now, he almost did not react. He does need the cooperation of his family, but his family "

At this point, Cheng Qing frowned slightly. Xiao Ziru was still relatively famous. His father was the principal of the famous Songbai Hunwu High School, but he had died of illness long ago, and his mother was no longer there.

Xiao Ziru is childless, but he does have a confidante, which is also the crux of the problem.

That confidante’s mental state is also unstable!

It is rather reckless to ask a patient to accompany a patient.

What's more, both of them are soul warriors, and Xiao Ziru's strength is so strong that it can easily lead to big troubles.

Cheng Qing sighed softly and said: "Xue Ranjun has already sought help from Songbai Zhenhunwu High School, looking for colleagues and friends who are familiar with his lover, to see if he can use the image of her lover in the way of illusion, Accompany Xiao Ziru in the spiritual world and carry out some therapy with him."

Rong Taotao's heart moved and he said: "I have the soul skill of Fenghuaxueyue, and I also know the patient's past and his lover."

"Oh?" Cheng Qing raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Including his lover's personality, way of speaking, and the way of communication between the two?"

Rong Taotao was dumbfounded and shook his head helplessly: "I only had a brief exchange with his lover, and I don't know about the rest."

"Yes." Cheng Qing nodded with regret, but said: "It's okay to give it a try, I wanted to start treating him tomorrow.

In fact, the news from Songbai Town is not optimistic. Xiao Ziru's lover lives alone. Although he is a teacher in Songbai Town in name, he rarely appears in school or in the public eye.

Just wait a moment, I'll get the card. "

"Okay, trouble." Rong Taotao said and opened the door.

The ward was still cold, like an ice cellar, but Xiao Ziru was no longer standing at the window, but sitting on the sofa.

He was motionless, his eyes were empty, and his expression was dull, like a doll that had lost its soul, looking at the ground silently.

What is the difference between that state and the time when you were with Frost Beauty before?

The only difference is his image.

His hair was cut short, his beard was shaved, and his tattered clothes had been replaced by a blue and white striped hospital gown.

The clean and refreshing Xiao Ziru should have shown a better mental state, but after cutting his hair and shaving, the vicissitudes of his appearance revealed made people feel sad just looking at him.

Due to the special nature of the soul warrior profession, the "spirit, energy and spirit" of ordinary soul warriors are all online.

If you look at Gao Lingwei, a casual glance will make you feel like a sharp blade has been drawn out of its sheath.

Looking at Xia Fangran again, no matter how careless he is, he is still a energetic and energetic master.

However, this Xiao Ziru is only in his early 40s, but Rong Taotao seems to see the shadow of Mei Hongyu.

Are you old and dying?

But Mei Hongyu is in a league of his own. He is inherently lifeless. Hidden under Mei Hongyu's old appearance is the big heart of a top soul warrior.

However, Xiao Ziru is truly in his twilight years.

Seeing Rong Taotao come in, Xia Fangran asked, "Did you bring it?"

"I brought it, but Dr. Cheng said to come right away." Rong Taotao said.

Xia Fangran said in surprise: "Didn't you just finish the inspection? What are you doing here?"

In front of Xiao Ziru, Rong Taotao couldn't say anything, so he just said: "I have a romantic relationship, and Dr. Cheng promised me to have a chat with Xiao Jiao in his company."

Xia Fangran looked stunned, while Gao Lingwei, who was standing against the wall, frowned slightly.

Any treatment has risks, and when your patient is Xiao Ziru, the risk involves not only the patient himself, but also others.

Fortunately, this is Wan'an Pass and the Soldiers Medical Center. Fortunately, Rong Taotao has a lotus flower, which makes Gao Lingwei feel at ease.

After a while, Dr. Cheng Qing came back, holding a pile of cards like playing cards with Chinese characters written on them.

Cheng Qing came to the sofa where Xiao Ziru was sitting, lined up the cards with Chinese characters on the ground, and said casually: "Let's try Songbai Town first."

Rong Taotao thought for a while and said, "How about the fireworks celebration? The atmosphere is better."

"Of course." Cheng Qing responded while posing.

Rong Taotao sat on the sofa next to Xiao Ziru, leaned forward, tilted his head, and looked at Xiao Ziru, who was extremely silent and like a doll.

A strange luster flashed in Rong Taotao's eyes

The next moment, Rong Taotao and Xiao Ziru were standing in the central square of Songbai Town, surrounded by crowds of people and exquisite ice sculptures.

Right in front of them, there was a boy holding a bunch of candied haws with only one hawthorn left in his hand, and he handed it to the girl in front of him.

The smile on his face seemed to indicate that he was studying some conspiracy in his heart.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.”

A golden waterfall flows down the wall of the huge building directly in front, and gorgeous fireworks pour down from the roof, which is extremely beautiful.

Countless fireworks bloomed in the night sky, which was so beautiful.

Finally, at this moment, Rong Taotao saw the change in Xiao Ziru.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the fireworks blooming brilliantly in the night sky.

Rong Taotao felt happy and cautiously said, "Xiao Jiao. Xiao Ziru?"

Xiao Ziru, wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, stood in the crowded square, looking up at the night sky, still silent.

Although his clothes are out of place, his movements and the way he admires the fireworks are exactly the same as the others, so they are quite harmonious.

Rong Taotao hesitated for a moment, then continued to call softly: "Xiao Ziru? Are you familiar with this place?"

However, Xiao Ziru did not give any response.

"Hey" Rong Taotao sighed in his heart, silently accompanying Xiao Ziru, looking up at the dark night sky.

No matter how long Rong Taotao and Xiao Ziru watched the fireworks, in the real world, it was only a short moment.

After leaving the romantic world, Rong Taotao rested on the sofa in the ward with one hand on his forehead, closed his eyes, and gently rubbed his temples with his thumb and ring finger.

Seeing Rong Taotao making a move, Cheng Qing squatted in front of Xiao Ziru and asked in a soft voice: "Where did you go just now? Do you want to tell me?"

Xiao Ziru remained motionless and silent.

Cheng Qing stepped back, pointed to a pile of cards on the ground, and said softly: "If you don't want to talk, you can point it out. You seem to like it there. If you point it out, we will take you there again. "

There was silence in the ward, except for the open window that still filled the room with cold wind and frost and snow.

For a long time, Xiao Ziru still didn't make any move, and everyone in the room felt their hearts sink.

Rong Taotao continued: "I'll take him to Beishan Park to see the monument."

"Yes." Cheng Qing nodded and comforted, "Recovery is a long process. Don't be discouraged. You should also pay attention to the degree of use of soul skills. Don't consume too much."

"Okay." Rong Taotao turned his head again and looked at Xiao Ziru.

The next moment, the two of them appeared in the park built on the mountain on the north side of Songbai Hunwu High School.

In the park, you can see the monument located on the top of the mountain. However, Rong Taotao did not take Xiao Ziru directly to the monument, but appeared with him under the steps.

Rong Taotao raised his head, looked at the slightly steep stone steps, and said, "It is said that there are 303 steps in total here. Let's go?"

While Rong Taotao was talking, two figures actually passed through his and Xiao Ziru's bodies and climbed up the steps.

It was the young man and woman who were standing in front of the two of them eating candied haws during the New Year's Eve fireworks celebration just now.

At this time, the two were chatting and climbing up the steps step by step. The girl seemed to be introducing the boy to the time when she trained here.

The setting sun dyes the town of pines and cypresses deep red.

The sunlight also shone on the two of them as they walked upward.

Xiao Ziru raised his head slightly, remaining silent as before, watching helplessly as the young man and woman disappeared at the end of the steps, but remained indifferent.

Just when Rong Taotao thought he was about to fail again, Xiao Ziru suddenly moved.

Rong Taotao:! ! !

Rong Taotao swore that he never thought that one day he would be so excited about someone taking a step forward!

Xiao Ziru really walked up the steps!

Level 303 is not long or short.

When the two climbed up, the boy and girl who came up before seemed to have separated.

The girl was standing by the stone fence on the south side of the monument, lowering her head and looking down at the whole picture of Pine Town High School below. Her eyes were slightly blurred, and she was quietly remembering something.

But the boy stood blankly on the east side of the monument, seeming to be looking at the pine and cypress trees in the distance.

Xiao Ziru seemed to have no perception of the two figures. He just kept raising his head and looking at the two big characters on the towering monument: HEROES.

Yes, this monument has no annotations, no names, and no sculptures.

There are only two gilded characters: HERO.

Rong Taotao knew that this monument was in memory of Xiao Ziru's father: Xiao Li.

Similarly, Xiao Ziru seems to know the significance of this monument.

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

On the side, Rong Taotao felt extremely complicated when he saw this scene.

Rong Taotao was very sure that Xiao Ziru was not speechless, but really speechless.

Xiao Ziru opened his mouth several times, but failed again and again.

What made Rong Taotao's mood fall even further was that even though Xiao Ziru was in such an annoyed and frustrated mood, he remained expressionless, as if he had forgotten how to express his emotions.

Just when Xiao Ziru looked up at the monument, in front of him, a girl's figure walked over and came to the boy standing on the side of the monument.

Very suddenly, a cell phone ringtone rang, even a little harsh in this quiet environment.

"The heavy snow closes the door and then sends the God of Wealth away. The fire cannot burn the one you love."

The boy hurriedly took out his cell phone from his pocket. In the distance, where no one could see it, a cold voice came: "Don't answer."

And this voice made Xiao Ziru slowly turn his head and look at the young man and woman standing on the side of the monument.

Not surprisingly, the bell still kept ringing.

"The setting sun in Saibei is her red makeup, and the mountains of pines and cypresses are her bridesmaids."

The woman's cold voice was vague and trembling: "He said he would come back and asked me to wait for him here."

Xiao Ziru's eyes widened slightly on his expressionless face.

In a moment of astonishment, the young man and woman standing on one side of the monument hurriedly said goodbye to each other, turned around and walked towards the steps.

When passing by Rong Taotao and Xiao Ziru, their words were extremely clear:

"This is the first time I've heard her speak in three years."

"Is she waiting for her family?"

"You've seen it."

"Um?"

"Xiao Ziru."

Finally, Xiao Ziru opened his legs and walked towards the side of the monument, trying to see the person obscured by the monument.

But at this moment, the romantic world was shattered.

In the real world, Rong Taotao lowered his head again, rubbed his temples with one hand, and finally stopped. It was because Rong Taotao was a little scared, so he should take it step by step.

Looking at Rong Taotao's movements, Dr. Cheng Qing continued: "You saw it just now!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ziru, who had never made any move, suddenly grabbed Rong Taotao by the collar, stood up suddenly, and lifted Rong Taotao directly into the air.

"Old Xiao!?" Xia Fangran was shocked and shouted hurriedly.

Beside her, Gao Lingwei actually pulled out a Daxia Dragon Bird.

But Rong Taotao, who was lifted up in the air, grabbed Xiao Ziru's collar with his right hand and made a "stop" movement with his left hand to the person behind him.

There was silence in the room, and the whole world seemed to have stopped.

Xiao Ziru's lips trembled slightly, and a layer of mist rose in his eyes, filled with endless desire, staring closely into Rong Taotao's eyes.

He seemed to be about to enter the romantic world again, but it was difficult for him to speak, unable to say the words of request.

Rong Taotao said softly: "You also know in your heart that all this is fake and meaningless. Cooperate well with Dr. Cheng to receive treatment. After your condition improves, you will see the truth."

As he spoke, Rong Taotao reached into his pocket with his palm blocked by his side and took out a box of Sanxiu.

He opened the lid of the cigarette box with his index finger, pushed forward slightly with his thumb, and pushed out a cigarette.

"The response is good. According to the doctor, you should be given some rewards." Rong Taotao held the palm that grabbed his collar with his right hand, reached forward with his left hand, and handed it to Xiao Ziru, "Here~ This is a reward for you. "

Xiao Ziru's mood gradually calmed down. He looked at Rong Taotao quietly with his eyes. The two looked at each other for nearly 20 seconds. The room was eerily quiet.

Slowly, Xiao Ziru lowered his eyes and looked at the cigarette held in front of his face.

There was another period of deathly silence, and Xiao Ziru's expression finally changed.

His expression was very strange, it looked like he was smiling, but it was very unnatural, and his facial muscles were very stiff.

One word came out of his mouth, vaguely: "Fire."

Rong Taotao nodded: "How about you put me down first?"

Under Xia Fangran's stupid gaze, Xiao Ziru put down Rong Taotao and slowly sat on the sofa.

Under the watchful eye of Dr. Cheng Qing, Rong Taotao actually handed over the lighter.

"Rubbing" The metal gears rubbed across each other, bringing with them sparks and igniting a small flame.

Xiao Ziru's posture when lighting the cigarette was very natural. The movement seemed to be imprinted in his blood. Where was the slightest bit of stiffness?

However, after taking this puff of cigarette, he was rewarded with a violent cough.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Looking at this scene, Rong Taotao grinned.

Life is indeed hard, and there is no antidote to this pain.

Fortunately, there are many painkillers available.

For example.

The choking smoke, the long-lost hometown, the beloved.
