Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 67 hidden diseases

Jack stopped and took the leaves back - the biggest disadvantage of the leaves is that they need to be replaced in a few times, and they must be preserved after blowing - and waited quietly.He knew that he wouldn't wait too long. According to the pre-programmed lines, Angela's first sentence should be——

"A piece of fog that is gradually dissipating, a long road, I don't know where it leads to. There seem to be a few people standing on the road." What's going on, why did she tear down the stage she finally built?Although full of doubts and little dissatisfaction, Jack still played the trick with her: "Who are those people, do you remember?"

"There was a little girl who was so beautiful, but she was crying, crying very sadly. Her mother picked her up and walked away without looking back. There was another person who stood there, trying to catch up but No chasing. That person, that person, feels very familiar, but I can’t remember who he is.” Scarlett noticed that Lan Li’s face was ugly when she first heard this passage, and she frowned until she heard it. It only stretched out when the last sentence was finished.

"Okay, don't force yourself, don't think about it if you can't remember it." Jack comforted her softly. Although he didn't know what was going on with Angela, he also felt that she was definitely not acting now, but the real thing. It was strange that he was trying to recall something in the dream, and he knew exactly what it was, but Angela herself couldn't remember it.Or, was she refusing to allow herself to remember?Anyway, his purpose was to help her achieve her wish, so he immediately changed to another question with a deep meaning: "Please tell me, Miss Angela. How do you feel about your life?"

"Very well, it's like a, a moon." Angela's answer made Lan Li feel happy immediately, but her next sentence made her suffer an instant chill. "But it's not round, it's curved, as if something is missing."

"What's missing?" Jack knew that Mrs. Langley definitely didn't want him to ask this question, but he had to.

"It seems to be one, one person." "Who?" Seeing that Mrs. Lanli was about to make a sound to stop him, he quickly waved his hand lightly. He didn't know what would happen if he casually woke up a person in a state of hypnotism. "People who are important to me." "Which people are important to you?" "Mom, and also, and dad." Angela hesitated for a while, and finally said as if she had made up her mind come out.Jack immediately turned his head to look at Mrs. Langley standing aside, and found that her face was worse than he expected. The whole face was as lifeless as a prairie hit by a cold current. Nothing that could be called an "expression" came out.He suddenly felt a little sad. He still hadn't fulfilled Angela's wish. Mrs. Lanli must have received a great psychological shock when she heard that person's name. Fortunately, Angela didn't know about it, and Mrs. Lanli would definitely not let she knows.Look, she has returned to normal, her eyes have become so calm, and there is something that can be called "relief" faintly rooted inside like a transplanted plant.It's not that there is no harm between relatives, but no matter how much harm is done, it can't change that blood is thicker than water.But thinking of his "relatives", he can only smile wryly now.

After tidying up his thoughts of running around, Jack looked at Mrs. Langley calmly, and asked her if she could wake Angela up.Seeing Mrs. Lanli nod in acquiescence, he followed Dr. Duncan's example and patted Angela's hands lightly three times, but there was no response.He felt a little strange, and took another three shots, but Angela's eyes were still closed.He was a little panicked. Dr. Duncan had never had such a thing before, and he thought he must be fine.In desperation, he made a bold move under the amazed gaze of the two ladies: he put his head on Angela's heart, and listened carefully to her heartbeat until he heard the powerful contraction hit his eardrum clearly. Don't worry about him.Angela was just asleep and had nothing else to do. It seemed that it took a lot of energy for her to say that word.He stood up carefully, and whispered to the worried and terrified Mrs. Langley that Miss Angela was just too tired and she needed to rest.Then she remembered that she should apologize for the rude behavior just now, which is what she is good at anyway.But he didn't understand in his heart, why did he do that at that time?Obviously there are other methods, such as taking a pulse, or probing Angela's breath with his hand, but he was so excited to make such a terrifying move.Don't say this is the United States - fortunately it is the United States!If he were in China, he would have been sent to the Yamen for molesting him long ago.So his apology was sincere.Fortunately, although Mrs. Lanli and Miss Scarlett were surprised, they didn't mean to blame themselves.It depends on what important things they mean to talk about, it's better to leave by yourself.Carrying my own luggage—I really don’t know when the medicinal materials in it will be available. I should give some of them to Angela’s health. She suffers from a heart disease similar to that of Miss Scarlett. Although these medicines cannot cure the root cause, At least part of the pain would be relieved—he followed the servant leading the way upstairs to the room reserved for him.He was not uninterested in the conversation downstairs, but he could guess that what they were going to talk about must have something to do with Angela's father.Angela had already told himself the general story just now, so he didn't have to hide in a corner and eavesdrop at the risk of being discovered.The whole story isn't very new anyway, and it's frankly more boring than the story of Miss Scarlett and Mr. Rhett.He just saw once again from this old-fashioned story how serious the antagonism between the South and the North in the United States is, which seems so strange to him as a foreigner. People are not allowed to intermarry. I didn't expect that Americans in the south and north can't intermarry. He really doesn't know who set such outrageous regulations. He is simply full.But maybe he doesn’t feel pain in his back when he stands and talks. He knows that things during the war cannot be deduced according to common sense.

"I don't know if Americans allow intermarriage between natives and foreigners?" He suddenly thought of this, "It should be allowed. Besides, an immigrant country should not reject foreigners. Well, I'm thinking wildly What, it's serious to put things away and help Angela get well." He immediately stopped his wild thoughts.Although it was the first time to use hypnotism, the effect was surprisingly good, which was his surprise.Unexpectedly, I have mastered the method of hypnotism by accident, and even improved it.This new thing should help a lot of people.Thinking of this, he immediately felt relieved, even though he was a little worried, it was about Angela.He saw that the fishbone she spat out was stained with blood, which was nothing; what worried him was that the blood looked abnormal and seemed to be faintly black, which was definitely not a good sign.

Seeing Jack's figure disappear into the upstairs room, Scarlett and Lanli turned their heads back at the same time, with strange expressions on their faces.They knew in their hearts that they all hoped that the other party would say something first to break the silence, but neither of them knew what to say.

Scarlett looked at the sleeping Angela's face, and spoke first: "Langli, what do you want to say, go somewhere else, don't wake Angela up." Her voice was very low, but Lanli must have heard up.

"Okay. Come with me to my room." Lan Li glanced at her almost gratefully. She had never been so uneasy, and her steps were a little messy when she went upstairs.

Scarlett sat motionless on the high-backed chair, silently watching Lanli close the door gently, separating her from the peacefully flowing sunlight outside.She even closed the windows and drew the curtains, intentionally creating a completely enclosed space.The temperature in the room immediately dropped a lot, which somewhat made Scarlett's mind, which had been in a trance due to the high temperature and surprise, regain clarity.She blinked, blinking away the foggy thing in front of her eyes like someone who was blinded by sand, and carefully examined Lan Li who turned around but didn't dare to face her directly.Her complexion was very bad, and several different expressions competed for territory on her face, and a great scuffle broke out, which was indistinguishable, but Scarlett could still see several expressions desperately gaining the upper hand: sorry for her, sorry for her. Jack's doubts, the shame that he desperately concealed but still escaped, the bewilderment of a pedestrian on his way back covered by heavy snow, and the grace and calm that finally regained victory.At last she turned her head and looked straight into Scarlett's face.

"Scarlett, I just said that I wanted to tell you a story about me, but Angela interrupted me." Her tone remained calm, "I'm really sorry, but I can't let Angela hear what we're going to say next .”

Scarlett didn't say anything, she knew it was useless to comfort her, and it was meaningless to scold her for lying to her for so long.She finally couldn't stand the loneliness and loneliness of keeping a secret, and couldn't bear the embarrassment and shame of being exposed by the person she loved the most in front of outsiders, so she decided to tell everything.Scarlett reminded herself that what she needs now is someone to listen quietly, and the next step is this person's understanding and support. The only person who can help her now is herself, who is still her friend.She silently watched Lan Li hesitate to speak, waiting for her to speak.
