Chapter 135: Why is my lip sore?

Chapter 135: Why is my lip sore?

Lu Ye's words suddenly silenced Xie Zheng.

Xiao Wei's dream.......

Xiao Wei's dream........

"Brother Zheng, if I ever join a performing arts troupe, I'm definitely going to be the lead singer."

"You can definitely do it. I'll play the accordion for you then, and we'll be a perfect match, blowing the whole place away."

"Alright, let's blow the whole place up!"

The girl's sweet voice echoed in his mind, and Xie Zheng's tears flowed uncontrollably.

He slammed his fist on the ground, muttering in anguish, "If only Xiaowei were alive, if only she were alive..."

"We lost her."

Lu Ye was affected by Xie Zheng's emotions and felt very heavy-hearted as well.

After a long pause, he said to Xie Zheng, "I heard that Xiao Wei's parents are not in good health. We should go and visit them when we have time."

"Do you even have the face to show up in front of them?" Xie Zheng smiled bitterly. "I certainly don't."

......

The next morning, Bai Zhi noticed that Lu Ye's lip was cut.

She asked in confusion, "What happened to your face?"

Lu Ye touched his face and smiled, "It's nothing, I probably just got a sore throat."

Bai Zhi, "......."

"Alright, we've almost finished packing. We should head out soon."

Ye Rufeng told Uncle Yang yesterday to take away all the edible things in the kitchen.

He also temporarily entrusted his courtyard to Uncle Yang for care.

In the morning, Ye Rufeng went out discreetly, but to his surprise, several villagers he had once treated had already gathered outside the fenced yard.

The mother of the little boy who had been bitten by a snake was also there, carrying a half-basket of eggs, which she said were eggs laid by her own hen.

They insisted on giving it to Bai Zhi, saying they had to let them stay.

It was at this time that the villagers learned Ye Rufeng's real name from the village chief.

"So your surname is Ye. I always thought that a doctor as skilled as you could never have such a simple name as Zhang San."

Ye Rufeng laughed and said, "It's just a title, you can call me whatever you want."

Ye Rufeng refused all the gifts the villagers gave him. Instead, he left them many commonly used medicines for daily life, as well as some simple and easy-to-remember prescriptions and folk remedies.

Looking at these simple and poor farmers, Bai Zhi said sincerely, "In the future, we will open a branch of Derentang here and provide free medical care for everyone."

This is something they accomplished in their past lives.

"Thank you, Dr. Ye. Thank you, young lady. We'll be waiting for you to come back."

Ye Rufeng walked away with a carefree air, but Bai Zhi and Lu Ye, who were following behind him, were moved by the scene.

Xie Zheng, who was particularly sentimental, wiped away her tears.

"What are you crying for? Let's go."

The heartbroken Xie Zheng was yelled at by Lu Ye, and he retorted angrily, "How could someone as cold-hearted as you understand my feelings?"

Lu Ye ignored him and quickly followed Bai Zhi.

Why can't he understand?

This is how the villagers on the border bid them farewell when they returned victorious from their mission.

That feeling is something Xie Zheng will probably never have the chance to understand in his entire life.

After arriving in Yongning County, everyone had a meal and then headed straight to the train station.

I bought tickets on-site, but only managed to get two sleeper tickets; the remaining two were seated tickets.

The sleeper berths were naturally given to Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi.

After settling them in, Lu Ye and Xie Zheng went to their assigned carriages.

The train was as crowded and chaotic as ever.

Xie Zheng covered his nose the whole way because he couldn't stand the smell of the old man's sweaty feet next to him.

Lu Ye, however, sat there upright, as calmly as if he had lost his sense of smell.

"Lu Ye, you've changed."

He used to be the most fastidious and the most troublesome.

When his friends came to his house, they couldn't even sit on his bed, and he couldn't tolerate even a sunflower seed shell left on the floor.

Not to mention the stench emanating from the carriage at this moment.

"When the environment changes, people naturally change."

If Xie Zheng knew the difficult circumstances he had faced while carrying out missions over the years, he would understand his composure at this moment.

When I was a child, the sight of rats would make my hair stand on end. They had eaten them raw when they were on missions.

They've lived in pigsties and cattle pens.

In fact, when infiltrating drug dens, what kind of bloody scenes hadn't he experienced in order to gain those guys' trust?

Xie Zheng glanced at the man who was resting with his eyes closed, and his expression became complicated.

That spirited young man is now cold and resolute, aloof and composed, covered in wounds.

He fulfilled his childhood dream, took up arms, and became a hero who defended his country.

Both Shen Qian and Chen Laosan have realized their childhood dreams.

Only his Xiao Wei........

Why are they allowed to live well and do what they want?

Did they do a good job treating Xiaowei well?

Thinking of this, Xie Zheng's gaze towards Lu Ye turned icy.

Lu Ye was incredibly perceptive. He opened his eyes and glanced at him sideways. "This is a public place. If you lay a hand on me, breaking your claws would be self-defense."

Xie Zheng met his gloomy gaze, and the two of them began to fight with their eyes.

In the end, Xie Zheng gave in and turned away, saying, "I will not forgive you."

He said it resolutely.

Lu Ye ignored him and got up to go find Bai Zhi.

When he squeezed past, Bai Zhi and Ye Rufeng were sitting on the lower bunk eating sunflower seeds.

“Xiaobai.” Lu Ye looked at Ye Rufeng, his tone natural and respectful, “Grandpa.”

"How did you manage to squeeze through?" Bai Zhi asked.

Lu Ye said, "I was sitting over there with nothing to do, and I was worried about you and Grandpa, so I came to check on you."

"Sit down." Bai Zhi handed him a handful of melon seeds. "Here you go."

"Thanks."

I didn't have time to do moxibustion on Lu Ye this morning, and it's not convenient to do it in the car now. Acupuncture is also out of the question, so I'll have to postpone it for another day and treat him after we get off the car.

Ye Rufeng was cracking sunflower seeds. He had been discussing medicine with Bai Zhi, but now that Lu Ye had arrived, he stopped talking about medicine and instead looked at him, asking, "What's your family's attitude towards my granddaughter? What are your thoughts on this marriage arrangement?"

“My family really likes Xiaobai.” Lu Ye looked at Bai Zhi with deep affection and spoke gently, “I like her very much too.”

He stated, "As long as she agrees, we can get our marriage certificate anytime."

Ye Rufeng interrupted him, shattering his illusions, "It's too early to get the marriage certificate."

Ye Rufeng said with a stern face, "I'll go and meet your family first."

There is no direct train from Yongning County to Bincheng, so they bought tickets for Nancheng.

Lu Ye replied politely and obediently, "Okay, Grandpa, we'll listen to you."

Ye Rufeng sat with them for a while, then yawned, "I need to take a nap."

"Grandpa, let's go to the middle bunk."

Lu Ye noticed Ye Rufeng's sharp gaze and quickly added, "Eating sunflower seeds."

Lu Ye and Bai Zhi packed up the sunflower seed bag, climbed onto the middle bunk, and sat on the bed chatting and eating sunflower seeds.

After peeling the sunflower seeds, Lu Ye put them on the bag and let Bai Zhi eat them.

Bai Zhi didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the melon seeds he had peeled and put them in her mouth.

While eating sunflower seeds, she casually asked Lu Ye, "You and Xie Zheng don't seem to get along well, do you?"

Logically speaking, they are cousins ​​who grew up together, so they should have a very good relationship.

Why do these two look like they hate each other?
