There was a sound of a door opening outside. He Hanlin quickly stood up and lifted a corner of the curtain. Seeing someone outside, he breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.
"Teacher He!" The man was in his early twenties and looked very gentle.
"Xiao Cheng, come in quickly. Let me introduce you, this is Teacher Liang!"
Xiao Cheng put down the lunch box and held out his hand: "Hello, Teacher Liang! I am writing to you, Xiao Cheng, Cheng Xianliang. I heard that you are coming to pick up Teacher He. I admire you very much! If only everyone in the world were like you..."
Liang Yucai quickly responded, "You're welcome! Aren't you also a person who has emerged from the mud without being stained?"
Xiao Cheng smiled bitterly: "What a pity, I didn't muster up the courage earlier..."
He Hanlin sighed and comforted him: "It's not your fault! In that situation, if you had protected yourself, no one would blame you!"
Xiao Cheng shook his head and laughed bitterly: "The betrayal from his family was the last straw that broke the camel's back!"
"No, you haven't seen what he looked like when he was alive. It was so miserable!"
His whole body was whipped with copper-headed leather belts. His clothes were mixed with his blurred flesh and blood, and even embedded in his flesh, making it impossible to take them off!
He Hanlin couldn't continue. He looked at Liang Yucai and whispered, "His brother was the general branch secretary of our department. He committed suicide by taking poison..."
Liang Yucai had actually guessed it from the name, but he didn't know that Xiao Cheng had passed away. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness in his heart.
Seeing that everyone was upset, Xiao Cheng quickly changed the subject, "Teacher, let's eat quickly! Before it gets cold. I didn't know Teacher Liang would come so quickly. I'll go get another one!"
"No, no!" Liang Yucai quickly grabbed Xiao Cheng.
"We brought some delicious food, it's a good opportunity for you to try it too, the flavor of Daqingshan!"
Before leaving, Wang Guifen specially made spicy fried dried fish sauce and spicy fried chicken cubes for the two of them, all sealed in glass bottles, and they did not go bad at all.
Jiaojiao pulled out a handful of sugar-roasted chestnuts from her bag. These were chestnuts they'd picked from the mountains; they were large, sweet, and sticky, leaving a strong feeling of fullness. She also took out two dry, hard sesame cakes and soaked them in hot water.
Everyone sat down to eat. The delicious food quickly dispelled their worries. Wang Guifen's specialty, dried fish sauce, received the highest score, followed by her spicy stir-fried chicken. Everyone ate until they were sweating.
"Now that the problem is solved, even food tastes delicious!" He Hanlin sighed.
Even Yu En, who usually has a small appetite, made an exception and ate one and a half steamed buns.
After eating and drinking, the few of them chatted and Liang Yucai couldn't help but ask Xiao Cheng: "Did you criticize some teachers again today?"
Xiao Cheng put down the cup in his hand and frowned, "Yes! Two professors from the Spanish Department, a lecturer, a professor and teaching assistant from the Russian Department, and a typist from the Spanish Department."
Jiaojiao held the cup and said, "I saw them get kicked and bent, and fell to their knees. Some of them even have cracked kneecaps! I don't know if you know these teachers. I have some medicine that's very effective for cracked and broken bones. If you know them, could you please help me deliver it to them?"
Xiao Cheng was surprised and said, "Really? Is there such a good thing? Even if I don't know him, I will find a way to get to know him! I'll send him off! Don't worry!"
Jiaojiao took out several glass bottles from her travel bag, which were full of green ointments.
"Just apply a thin layer each time. It might be excruciatingly painful at first, then it will gradually become itchy, and finally a stabbing pain. Once the pain subsides, apply it for another three to five days and it will be almost gone. The rest is to rest and recover. If there's any plaster left, it can usually be stored for a few years without any problem."
Xiao Cheng...can't remember, can't remember at all!
"Let me write a few for you."
Xiao Cheng immediately went to get paper and pen for Jiaojiao.
Liang Yucai looked at Jiaojiao's travel bag. What on earth was in it?
Yu Enze noticed something else: why wasn't she in excruciating pain? Could it be due to the acupuncture or something?
She looked at Jiaojiao with even more admiration. She had never thought that at such a young age, her medical skills were so amazing! Fortunately, Jiaojiao knew Liang Yucai, otherwise, her legs would definitely be lame!
Xiao Cheng copied a few more copies, packed them together with the ointment, and went out with the bag to deliver the medicine.
He Hanlin called him at the door, hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't tell anyone else about this!"
"Teacher He, don't worry! Even if I'm arrested and reprimanded, I will keep the secret to the death and will never let anything about Jiaojiao and Teacher Liang leak out!"
"good!"
No matter how quiet their voices were, Jiaojiao in the room could hear them clearly. She smiled. Xiao Cheng would certainly not betray her! Not only would he not, he would protect her!
Xiao Cheng left in a hurry, and He Hanlin continued to close the doors and windows.
Yu En was full and sleepy. Liang Yucai and He Hanlin hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a lot to talk about.
Jiaojiao was worried about something, so she discussed with Liang Yucai about going out for a walk.
Liang Yucai hesitated. Back in the provincial capital, that was his territory, and there wasn't much commotion there. Jiaojiao had some skills, so it wouldn't be too dangerous for her to go out and play.
But he is unfamiliar with this place, and the people here are so crazy. Can this child run away by himself?
"I'll go with you!" Liang Yucai stopped chatting. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway.
Jiaojiao... doesn't want to be with you.
However, Liang Yucai refused to agree, so Jiaojiao had no choice but to accept it. The original plan could not be implemented, so they could only play it by ear!
