The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Tuberculosis is tuberculosis.

This disease is difficult to cure.

At this time, tuberculosis was said in China to be "nine out of ten tuberculosis patients will cause death". In the West, it was also known as the White Plague. Treatment is extremely difficult and the mortality rate is extremely high. It was not until the advancement of medicine in later generations and the era of chemotherapy that treatment rates improved, and the vast majority of tuberculosis patients could be cured.

But..., given the current level of medical care in the early twentieth century.

When this disease is mild, it can be said to be okay, and the body may recover on its own, but when it becomes severe, it is basically a death sentence.

"Dear Miss Satomi, please allow me to call you this..."

In the study, Bai Gui was about to pick up the pen to write, but his elbow couldn't help but pause on the plain paper, making it difficult to write.

I can't write anymore.

That year was October, the beginning of winter.

On the train from Nagaki to Tokyo.

He met Satomi Naoko.

It was his first encounter, or first love. Although he only met once, deep down he fell in love with this chestnut girl wrapped in a snow-white kimono.

It’s not just about appreciating and loving beautiful things.

Bai Gui is not so hypocritical.

"If life is just like the first time we met, why should the autumn wind draw a fan sadly?"

"It's easy to change people's hearts, but... people's hearts are easy to change."

He suddenly remembered Nalan Xingde's Mulan poem.

changed.

My heart has changed.

In the past, he would deliberately choose to sit in the lower carriage of the train from Nagasaki to Shikoku Station, for no other reason than to see the girl in kimono eating chestnuts again...

Every time he comes to Nagasaki, he is always willing to sit and wait for the train at this section of the road.

The more times you sit there, the more likely you’ll encounter someone by chance.

I can't say how much I like it, but... I always want to meet him again!

But now, although there is a certain possibility that he can cure Nahoko Satomi's tuberculosis, time, energy, family, etc., do not allow him to indulge in any more disorderly behavior.

Furthermore, the cost of curing a person, no matter his level of cultivation, is still too high.

"I'm waiting for the October flowers to bloom - to the girl in my heart."

"Xunqing, the second year of Xuantong. After the exams for the five schools in Shanghai were completed, I stayed at Shanshan Guild Hall from mid-September to October. I got a high quota and was able to go to Japan to study in Japan."

"This train is a low-class ticket bought by Minister Wu. It goes from Nagasaki to Kyushu Island. The train is under the jurisdiction of Kyushu Railway Co., Ltd. and is a private company. It can sell more things."

"At that time, I was reading "Records of the Kingdom of Japan" written by Huang Gongdu (Huang Zunxian, nicknamed Gongdu). Huang Gongdu was the former counselor in Japan. At that time, no, even now, this book he wrote is the first reference material for students studying in Japan. While I was reading, I listened to the shamisen and snare drum played by the geisha on board the train. I watched it with gusto. Sitting opposite me was a beautiful girl. Her appearance was not outstanding. She was wearing plain clothes at the time. The kimono, the maruette belt was a bit heavy, very Japanese-style. She was sitting there quietly. I should have been able to move my peripheral vision from the book to this beauty. Maybe it was, rather than looking at the hand indifferently. Book, I prefer talking to this girl."

"The opportunity came soon. She asked for a small bag of Tianjin Ganli. In a foreign country, when I heard the name of my home country, I inevitably looked at her, and she inevitably looked at me."

"This is the first kindness I have received from a foreign country."

"You can't really tell that the chestnut taste has any of the Jinmen flavor, but the sweet taste is there. I paid a high price to treat her to lunch, the total price was yen per day, and it was box sushi sold on the train..."

"The second time..., I learned her name, Satomi Naoko. It is very similar to the names given by many Japanese people. It has no deep meaning, such as Saburo and Hachiro."

"Recently... I received a letter from her. She is ill. I felt mixed emotions for a moment. In my memory, the chestnut girl sitting by the train window suddenly became haggard and looked sick."

"Although Xizi is very fond of her, when I think of her pale lips and face, all the hopes in my heart inevitably turn into wishes for her."

"I put on my outer robe and sat alone by the window."

"Compared to my great writer friend, I don't like smoking, but at this moment I actually want to puff away the smoke for a while. After the smoke has settled, she will sit across from me with a smile and hand me chestnuts."

"As a friend, even though I've only met twice, I hope she gets better."

"Although October is the beginning of winter, the girl in my heart, if you go to the other side of the ocean, there... flowers will still bloom in October."

"——Bai Meihe."

Bai Gui's writing on the plain paper stopped.

This is the first time he has written a memoir.

I guess it's not very well written.

However, given his status as a great writer, this memoir will definitely receive praise from the outside world after it is published.

No matter how poorly written it is, someone will come to study it carefully.

…

The next day.

Bai Gui arrived at the newspaper office and prepared to publish this memory essay.

With his status in the industry, when people in the newspaper heard that the famous Bai Meihe had published an article, they immediately agreed and gave him a large sum of remuneration.

For ordinary people to publish articles, if they are not famous, they need to pay the newspaper. But Bai Gui is willing to go to the newspaper to publish the article, which adds glory to the newspaper and is a blessing.

After the article is published.

It immediately caused a sensation in China and Japan.

Just like in history, after Brother Xun published Mr. Fujino's article, people at home and abroad went to Sendai Medical College to look for Mr. Fujino.

Bai Gui's influence at the moment is among the top among literati.

January.

Two months.

Until the time from early spring to late September.

There is no news about Satomi Naoko.

No reply.

At this time, even if you have a name, it is not easy to find someone. Unless you search the mountains and seas and spend a lot of money to find it. Moreover, the delivery of letters is too slow. It was already April when this prose reached Japan.

If Bai Gui was not well-known in Japan, it would be difficult for him to become known to everyone.

"Brother, I guess Miss Satomi hasn't seen the article yet."

"You don't have to worry about Miss Satomi. She is sick now... and according to the doctor, it won't be a serious problem."

In September, the undergraduate department of Beiman Girls' School was on vacation. Liu Baoer returned to his hometown and said this when he saw Bai Gui for the first time.

"Don't let your sister-in-law hear this."

"I don't have any love relationship with Miss Satomi. It's just because it was my first time to study abroad in Japan and I was deeply impressed by her."

Bai Gui shook his head and chuckled.

He writes this article with nothing but nostalgia. Another purpose is to let Satomi Naoko read this article and meet him again.

When Naoko Satomi traveled abroad, even if she had her previous address, it was of little use.

If Satomi Naoko could come to Qin Province to meet him again, then it would not be a bad idea to use Taoism to treat Satomi Naoko.

But if Satomi Naoko pretends not to know and doesn't want to meet him again...

This faint regret will gradually be forgotten as time goes by and buried deep in the memory.

After all, he is just a passer-by.

We only met twice, so my memory is deeper than the average person.

"I thought you had done your job as a sister-in-law, brother."

Liu Baoer held his forehead and said.

"Your sister-in-law... she must be a little concerned about it, but how can she be too concerned about this kind of thing?"

Bai Gui said casually.

He wrote a letter to Satomi Naoko, which also belongs to a kind of "cutting off from the world of mortals".

To put it bluntly, Bai Xiuzhu would definitely mind this matter, but who would mind a dying person.
