Red dust kills beauty

Nine, trade-off①

I went back to Xiaobai: "You see, he refuses my concern."

Xiaobai had an interesting expression on his face - he rarely showed such a look of watching the show: "It's really interesting to see you bickering with children."

"That's not bickering, it's him being mean to me." I frowned and said, "That kid is not cute at all."

Xiao Bai showed a smile that was not a smile, and suddenly leaned over and quickly wrote a note: "He is looking at you."

"What?" I subconsciously turned around to look for it, and then realized that Xiaobai was playing tricks, so I glared at him.

"I don't understand you. Since you care about him so much, why don't you just say it?"

I sighed, Xiaobai really understands me - he has always understood me best.

After being awkward for a while, I was still defeated by Xiaobai's warm eyes.

Yes, I care about the Witch Merchant—just a little, really, probably because of the guilt I left him in the fire last time.If he hadn't appeared in front of me, maybe I would have forgotten this kid, but he just came to see the doctor again, with a look obviously not doing well.

But he's so—so clueless that two years ago he refused to go with me and forgot about me, and two years later he was so cocky and unlovable.

I made a grimace at Xiaobai: "He doesn't need my concern."

Xiaobai smiled, noncommittal.

This time we were in front of the witch merchants. When we walked into the consultation room, Dr. Wu was thinking carefully with Xiaobai's medical records.

He is a kind-hearted Beta, about 60 years old, who practiced medicine in Yanbei in his early years, and returned to his hometown of Wuzhou when the war broke out.The old man did not go to the hospital to work, nor was he hired by a rich man. Instead, he opened a clinic by himself. The best plan requires the most expensive consultation fee to repay the half-subsidized and half-delivered medicine in the morning.

Anyway, the posture of "I just have the ability, you love to come, don't come and roll".

I think this person is very interesting, and I don't mind being taken advantage of by him.Xiaobai was not at ease, feeling a little scared. I guess he kept pushing me to find the witch merchant to distract himself, and to watch a good show.

Dr. Wu told Xiaobai to sit down, then handed him a bottle of medicine for him to drink.After the incident two years ago, Xiaobai had already been trained by the white coats to have a Pavlovian reaction. Without even thinking about it, he took the small bottle of unknown composition and was about to pour it into his mouth.

I held Xiaobai down and turned to look at Dr. Wu with an uneasy expression: "Doctor Wu?"

Dr. Wu's expression was worse than mine: "Do you understand the analysis of ingredients with you? Why should I bother! You know that I won't harm this kid, just drink it!"

Xiaobai was shocked, and he did as a conditioned reflex.I looked at Xiaobai with a dark face, raised his head, drank the potion, and knocked him on the back of the head several times in anger.Xiaobai wanted to hide but didn't dare, he covered the back of his head and looked at me pitifully.

Dr. Wu didn't care about our small interactions, he stretched his neck with his eyes open, and stared at Xiao Bai's reaction without blinking: "How do you feel?"

Xiaobai felt it carefully, then shook his head and gestured: "I don't feel anything."

"That's it." Doctor Wu nodded, his expression became serious, "This potion was developed to test the sensitivity of psychic powers. After drinking it, psychic powers will produce hallucinations that last no longer than 1 minute. Listening to the symptoms, the more sensitive you are, the clearer and stronger the picture and sound. This child should be a high-sensitivity group, and the reaction after taking it is quite strong, but the fact is the opposite-I suggest you put his aphasia problem first, and first Solve this first problem, and then that will be solved."

Dr. Wu's diagnosis and treatment plan for us is very conservative. It is a two-pronged approach of psychotherapy and physical therapy, and treatment is performed while conditioning.He said that we are not in a hurry and do not care about money. Of course, we still need to find a solution that has the greatest fault tolerance and is the most gentle.I don't have a problem with that, it's just that it's kind of annoying to see that mean old man once a week.

This set of programs takes a long time and is divided into four courses of treatment, twice a week, for a total of nearly eight months.I thought about it again and again, and prepared to settle down here again with Xiaobai.The outskirts of the city where we used to live can no longer be stayed. He Heping, the squad leader, wanted to send us away with drums and gongs, and it was far away from Mr. Wu's clinic. After discussing with Xiaobai, we decided to rent a small apartment nearby.

Wuzhou is now one of the leading cities in the Eighth District, and most of the northerners have fled here with their families, comparable to Yanbei before the war.Apart from the rest, the house here is really hard to find.

I used to stay in the hotel with Xiaobai before, but now I found out that the location of Dr. Wu's place is very popular. As a foreigner, I can't grab it even with gold.

I had a headache, so I decided to choose the next best thing, and I wanted to choose a place farther away, but I found out in despair that within the territory of Wuzhou, there is no place to wait, even a basement, full of down-and-out scholars and literati-everyone who can move forward Who in Kan'erli, Wuzhou City, is still not related?

What's more terrible, when I took Xiaobai to Dr. Wu's this time, after today's treatment was over, the old man slowly reminded me: "Be careful, is your license about to expire?"

I just remembered that there is still this crop.

Just like the last time I went to Yanbei to visit relatives, any big city like this will shrink its management during wartime, and not only impose a curfew-when I just woke up, I was sitting on the window sill watching the moon. Inspections - Strict population control has also been carried out to prevent spies from being mixed in.

How else can I say, as long as anyone can come in, there are people above.

My license was issued by Wu Qi, and the dog didn't mention this at all when he gave it to me. He thought he was holding this in his hand, waiting for me to go back and beg him.

It's not impossible, it's a favor transaction—but why am I so upset.

Ever since I returned to Wuzhou, to be more precise, after I met that crooked little boy of the witch merchant again, my brain often throbbed with pain, and many inexplicable pictures often flashed before my eyes, but their speed was too fast. It's coming, I always have no time to catch it.

It's tantamount to reminding myself over and over again what I'm missing.

Since the problem lies with the witch merchant, it's not that I haven't thought about shaking the collar of the witch merchant to see if I can shake out some props that can restore my memory like a jingle cat, but for some reason, every time we When I met him at this clinic, I always cringed at seeing his blank expression.

That child is like a quagmire, I always have a feeling that once I get close to him, I will be dragged into it.

--I just know it.

After Dr. Wu finished speaking, he waved his palm and was ready to see off the guests. I carefully helped Xiaobai off a Psychic chair: "Are you okay?"

Cold sweat was dripping on Xiaobai's forehead. He shook his head at me and nodded again, not knowing whether it was good or bad.

Dr. Wu took a sip of water: "This taste can't be better. If you compare the direct difference between a psychic person and an ordinary person, you can use a wall to distinguish it. The power will slowly rush to this side like a tide. But this kid's mental power is too huge, his body foresees this danger, and has built a thick wall for him from the very beginning—such as No accident, he will be an ordinary person all his life. But what happened to him these years seems to have shaken the foundation of the thick wall. To put it bluntly, it is his body that builds the wall to let him live well. If he lives 'I can't even do it, how can I be 'well'? So..."

He made a push-down gesture: "The wall collapsed, and he awakened his power - but the power awakened too late, and it came too violently, and his untrained brain couldn't bear it at all, so he became a cement worker." Addiction, before the tide over there has fully risen, I quickly built a side for myself..."

I burst out laughing, Xiaobai was a little embarrassed, but also laughed.

"What we have to do now is to make holes in this thick wall. This process is definitely painful, but it is also very safe. Unless there are special circumstances, there is no less irritating method than it."

Today we are his last batch of patients. The old man talked about sex, so he simply sent us to the door, and he did not forget to tell Xiaobai to remember the daily mental recovery (Dr. Wu: You are not exercising at all, but paralyzed Once a patient who has been undergoing revision surgery for many years, it is reconstruction!), and reminded me again to remember to deal with the permit.

After bidding farewell to the benevolent doctor Wu, I was thinking about how to solve this problem - this little piece of paper will expire in less than a week, and the poor Xiaobai and I have no place to live yet.

I tested Wu Qi's tone, and he agreed quite happily, but hinted that I had some personal affairs and needed my help.

My scalp tingles when I hear the words "own affairs". I have no objection to him asking me to be a thug to help him deal with foreign enemies, but about my own affairs?I don't want to get involved in the muddy waters of the big family, it's disgusting and annoying.We bargained for a long time, but he relied on the handle and refused to let go.This road was blocked, and when I went to Dr. Wu for the second time this week, there were only two days left before Xiaobai and I were caught by patrol soldiers and driven out of the city.

Wuzhou's population management is very strict, and I have to register every time I see a doctor at Mr. Wu's.He took my printed registration book and signed it, glanced at the date column, and was startled: "Why haven't you done it yet? Let me tell you that if you don't have an ID, I can't see a doctor for Xiaobai here. "

He had been reluctant to call Xiaobai "Xiaobai" before, thinking that the name was perfunctory and rude, like calling a dog, but now he is used to calling Xiaobai, and he just insisted on adding "little friend" after Xiaobai. words.

I'm still having a headache over this matter, Dr. Wu rubbed his chin and muttered, "I can't...you guys are so famous, in this troubled world, who wants to offend people like you, it doesn't make sense..."

This old man is the top Nabo doctor, and the resources in his hands are more abundant than the highest official of a small town.He has been in Yanbei's Vanity Fair for decades, and then came to Wuzhou, the ancient capital of several dynasties. He is not usually sensitive to many things.He pondered for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, swept his eyelids up and down, and suddenly clapped his hands: "You didn't——I understand."

I also thought about it: "Why are you suddenly interested in this matter?"

It's not that the old man is bad, it's just that he is devoted to curing diseases and saving lives, and never cares about these trivial matters.

Dr. Wu had a meaningful smile on his lips: "Mr. Wu invited me to dinner two days ago, and we talked about the issue of population control at the dinner table. I thought to myself that you are also immigrants, so I asked my little one when I came back. Liu."

Xiao Liu is his assistant and is in charge of reception.

I nodded: "I understand too."

Dr. Wu shook his head, smiled, poured me a cup of tea himself, and said meaningfully: "Instead of looking for Xiaobing, it's better to ask the Great God directly."

This matter is obvious. Recently, I have hit a wall one after another. I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma, but no one cares. It must be that the witch merchant's father has taken a fancy to me-don't think wrong.The uncrowned king of the Southland seemed to be fishing. First, he set a trap in the water, forcing me to go through the only door, and then set a bright bait in front of me for me to bite.

What I'm curious about now is: He went through so many twists and turns, blocked my door first, and delivered a message to Dr. Wu. He didn't mean to take me back because of my thin waist and long legs, so he wanted to carry me back to make three for him. room?

Stop talking.

Wu Shang's father is called Wu Qiong—their generation is the same as Wu Qi, their names are all next to the word Wang, and they are a famous seed of infatuation.After marrying Xu's daughter in southern Anhui, he established the Pingwu Army. Later, when the Wu family became powerful, he simply moved out of the main house and took a woman—it was said to be his first love, and she married her in a separate building somewhere. wife's day.

The child of the witch merchant was born to him by that woman.There are a lot of rumors about this outside, because I heard that the witch merchant's biological mother has been mentally abnormal since he took it away, and even bringing the witch merchant is a bit evil.

I don't think Wu Qiong is an infatuated person, I can tell from the appearance of Wu Shang, a good father thinks that he will not torment his son like this.

The thought of such a thing waiting for me to beg him makes me very unhappy.

"Don't procrastinate, hurry up, don't delay the child's treatment if you are not in a hurry." Dr. Wu waved his hand, asked Xiao Liu to come to see the appointment form, dusted off the paper, and smiled, "It is better to hit the sun than to choose a date, Just today. He'll be back in an hour."

Wu Qiong did a good job of saving face, and would often find time to accompany the witch merchant to see a doctor, but Dr. Wu didn't like it very much, and the witch merchant seemed to be too.

I'm going to see the witch merchant again, I can't say I'm in a hurry, I'm worried, and I'm a little upset.In the end, I just laughed and joked to Dr. Wu: "That kid from the witch merchant is a serious 'kid'."

After Xiaobai's treatment today, Dr. Wu arranged us in the reception room, and he continued the consultation.I was asking Xiaobai about the situation in the past two days, when I saw Wu Qiong leading the witch merchants in.I am sensitively aware that today he came a little earlier.Is it in my case?

Shaman merchants still can't go wrong with their attire today, and the little dress is very cute.But—I just don't feel right.The suit is far from uncomfortable or warm, it's just nice and emphasizes the frailty of the Shaman.Probably when everyone saw him for the first time, the thought that came to mind was: this poor little guy.

What's wrong with Wu Qiong?

I thought about it, and went up to talk to him.

This is the first time we have met formally. Before, because I didn't want to get involved with the Wu family, I avoided it intentionally or unintentionally.

Wu Qiong is a high-ranking Alpha, and under the layers of aura, she is simply handsome and striking.We exchanged pleasantries for a while, he first thanked me for saving his "beloved son", and I repeatedly said that this is what I should do, and he said that I should thank me wherever I can, so you came and I went several times, we Going along with the flow, he said that he actually wanted to ask Mr. Wu for a little favor.

Wu Qiong knew the elegant meaning when she heard the string song, and immediately brought up my residence problem in a considerate manner, not only to help me get a permanent residence permit, but also to give me a house.

I reckoned the weight of this gift, it was not light, but to him, it was only a few words, it seemed that what he was asking for was not much, so I was relieved at once, and asked me what should I do after thanking me politely repay you.

The witch merchant who had been wandering beside me was brought to me by Wu Qiong. The man's face was sincere: "I heard that you are an outstanding spiritual power user. I have nothing else to ask but you to teach this child well."

I:"."

Ah, I'm a bit numb, I never thought, Wu Qiong made such a big circle, and actually asked me to be a tutor!

I'm really sorry that I stopped updating for so many days. It's really not going well in the third dimension recently.I explained the reason on Weibo, because it is really inconvenient to ask for leave here, so I will put it on Weibo in the future.

I thought about updating on Monday, but I plan to change jobs and change jobs. I have been preparing for the interview for the past two days, so I didn’t write it. I’m very sorry!

There should be another update before twelve o'clock tonight.
