Chapter 17: Medical Treatment

As soon as Lu Sui came out, he heard Liang Jingxuan crying. Before he could ask, Liang Jingxuan threw herself into his arms, "Husband..." She lifted up his clothes and drilled into him, tightly gripping his waist with both hands, her whole body trembling.

Lu Sui pinched him by the back of the neck and pulled him out, his eyes misty, "Husband..." Lu Sui looked at Yu Zeying with a cold look.

Yu Zeying took a puff of cigarette and explained hastily, "It has nothing to do with me. He wanted the puppy on the leash. I asked the boss, and he said it belongs to his son!"

"Why do you want it?" Liang Jingxuan was waiting for something, but before he could say anything, his body suddenly hung in the air. He screamed in surprise and subconsciously wrapped his arms around Lu Sui's neck. Lu Sui leaned over and lifted his buttocks up, "Why do you want it?"

Liang Jingxuan rested his head on his shoulder, tears streaming down his face. He spoke incoherently, his hands shaking. "It's the same as me. My uncle used to tie me up like this to sell everywhere... It was a leash, it hurt my neck, and I was always touched by people, and bad guys pulled my pants..."

Lu Sui's heart was suddenly grabbed and squeezed to the point of being deformed. It felt sour, bitter, and a little painful. Song Huizi probably told him that Liang Jingxuan was sold three times, and each time she was dressed as a girl.

The first time, she was sold to an old bachelor. When he found out that Liang Jingxuan was naked, he beat her up and sent her back. The second time, it was to a fat man in his 40s. Liang Jingxuan's uncle didn't succeed this time. The man wanted to test her on the spot. In the end, he was exposed and reported to the police station. And these are just what he learned from inquiries...

I haven't heard of it yet, but just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle and I shudder...

The veins on Lu Sui's arms were bulging. He held him and sat down steadily, "I won't do that again in the future." Liang Jingxuan tilted his head to look at him. Lu Sui's face was gray, his brows were gloomy, and there was a hidden rage that was difficult to detect.

"Hubby...I'm scared...!"

Lu Sui tightened his arms, forming a shelter, "Don't be afraid...!"

Liang Jingxuan comforted herself in a hushed voice, "Don't be afraid...don't be afraid!" Then she leaned on Lu Sui's shoulders, eyes full of fear, "I'm afraid...my husband..."

Those horrible memories would never go away, hidden under his skin and in his bones, coming out from time to time to stimulate and torture him until he died in agony. He regretted not crawling into the coffin the night before his grandmother was buried, so that he could be with her...

"Don't be afraid, I'm here..."

"Don't sell me, I'll be obedient... Don't sell me! Husband..." Liang Jingxuan's face was pale, and his voice was so hoarse that it was a little unclear. He cried and the protruding butterfly bones on his back trembled like a butterfly with crushed wings.

"No... I'm not afraid!" Lu Sui's thick and rough voice, like a sedative, followed the cold silver metal needle tip into Liang Jingxuan's blood vessels, "Never!"

Liang Jingxuan was still crying, but not as fiercely as before, and kept crying. Yu Zeying bought him two big bags of White Rabbit milk candies, but he refused to eat them and just held them tightly.

Lu Sui fed him. Liang Jingxuan cried while eating. Lu Sui didn't scold him, nor did he stop him from crying. He fed him a mouthful of rice, wiped his tears and nose, and continued to feed him. Yu Zeying finished eating and wiped his mouth, "How about I feed him?"

"I don't want you... I want my husband!" Liang Jingxuan was very excited, as if he was afraid that Lu Sui would really not feed him. His two legs climbed up his waist and tightened wantonly. Lu Sui frowned, thinking that he was being too pampering to him.

Liang Jingxuan's eyes were filled with tears, and he compromised again, "I'll feed her."

Liang Jingxuan sniffed, "Hello, husband..."

Lu Sui, "..."

Yu Zeying was picking his teeth leisurely. The atmosphere between the two was very strange. "Xuanbao, you look a lot like Lin Daiyu. Did you know that?"

Liang Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, and poked his palm, "No, Lin Daiyu is a woman, and I am a man..."

Yu Zeying never expected him to know Lin Daiyu. He was a little surprised when Liang Jingxuan told him about it. Lu Sui calmly fed Liang Jingxuan a big mouthful of red roast pork and said coldly, "I think it looks like a pig!"

"Then you look like a pig feeder!" Yu Zeying patted his shoulder and went outside to smoke while trying not to laugh. Lu Sui fed Liang Jingxuan, and he kept his mouth shut, "What's wrong?"

"I am a pig, and you are also a pig. You are my husband and I am your wife. You are whatever I am..." Liang Jingxuan's eyelashes were still covered with tears, and he trembled. Lu Sui did not refute him. He fed him a big mouthful of rice, and then a piece of braised pork.

Liang Jingxuan chewed for a long time before swallowing, "But I don't want to sleep in the pigpen...husband...you go by yourself!"

Lu Sui, "..."

After dinner, Yu Zeying discussed with the restaurant owner and brought the puppy over. When Liang Jingxuan saw the puppy, she stopped sticking to Lu Sui and hugged the puppy, rubbing and kissing it. Lu Sui took this opportunity to leave.

In the silent ward, Lu Sui was taking a psychological test. His attending physician was looking over the cranial magnetic stimulation report he had just done. His stress disorder was much better than a month ago, and most of the psychological test results were towards the passing mark.

But he still had to continue medication treatment. The attending physician prescribed him paroxetine hydrochloride tablets and sertraline hydrochloride tablets, which can play an anti-depressant and anti-anxiety role. Lu Sui did not retire normally, but suffered from severe stress disorder and had to retire.

At first he didn't feel anything, until he committed suicide unconsciously. He didn't feel any pain even after his aorta was severed. His body was no longer under his control. This was the most terrifying thing...

If he really had to die, he wanted to go back to Yunwu Village, tear down the old house and build a new one, so that Lu Jun and Song Huizi could have a better life in their later years and live longer. He wanted to find his mother.

The people in Yunwu Village only knew that his mother and father were dead. What they didn't know was that his mother was not dead, but ran away with someone. Lu Jun felt ashamed and told everyone that she was dead. He went to find her not because he missed her, but because he just wanted to ask her how his father died...

Back at the restaurant, Liang Jingxuan fell asleep, wrapped in Yu Zeying's black leather jacket, snoring and drooling. Yu Zeying wiped it again and again in disgust and tugged at his leather jacket, "Pay me!"

Lu Sui was not stingy, "Compensation, compensation for two pieces!"

"Almost!" Yu Zeying moved away, Lu Sui leaned over, carefully picked up Liang Jingxuan, and the longevity lock hidden in her clothes fell out. Yu Zeying had never seen this style of longevity lock before, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then rubbed it.

There was a little rabbit on the back of the longevity lock, which should be Liang Jingxuan's zodiac sign. She shook it again and asked, "Why is this longevity lock so heavy?" The longevity lock was made of silver, so it shouldn't be so heavy.

"My second aunt made it with silver. The craftsman's ancestors worked in the imperial palace, so it's not uncommon for him to make this kind of pattern."

Lu Sui's explanation did not dispel Zeying's doubts, "But how can silver be so heavy?"

"Hubby... um!" Liang Jingxuan woke up and suddenly pulled back the longevity lock, "Don't touch it!" Nervously, he hid the longevity lock in his clothes, "Don't touch it..."

"Why can't you touch it? Can't your husband do it too?" Yu Zeying asked suspiciously.

Liang Jingxuan nodded heavily and shook his head, "No! My second uncle and second aunt said that no one can do it... only... I forgot..."

After being interrupted, Lu Sui and Yu Zeying didn't think too much about it. They bought some of Song Huizi's favorite food and returned to Yunwu Village. When they arrived at Fenghuang Town, there was a traffic jam that lasted for an hour. Liang Jingxuan couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to get off the car. Yu Zeying also happened to have a craving for a cigarette.

Afraid that he would not be able to catch Liang Jingxuan, Lu Sui followed him down. There were many cars stuck in front of them, and people they knew and didn't know were all chatting. Yu Zeying held a cigarette in his mouth and searched his pockets for a long time, but couldn't find a lighter, so he went up to an uncle who was smoking and asked for a lighter, "Uncle, can I borrow a light?"

The uncle readily lent it, Yu Zeying lit up the cigarette and asked Lu Sui if he wanted one? Lu Sui looked at Liang Jingxuan with care, "No, you should smoke less too, you've already smoked a pack today, I remember you didn't have an addiction before."

Yu Zeying smiled bitterly, "There are so many troubles, I'm addicted..."

"Honey! There's a police car..." Liang Jingxuan was very afraid of police cars, so she lifted Lu Sui's clothes and got in. The people who were chatting just now stopped and waited for the police car to leave before continuing to chat. Yu Zeying was a little gossipy and asked the uncle who had just borrowed a light, "Uncle, what happened in front?"

The uncle looked around and said in a low voice, "The brick factory in front that had just opened has been closed. It belonged to the brother-in-law of the former mayor. Two months ago, the former mayor was found to have embezzled 10 million yuan. He is now in prison. I heard that his wife jumped to her death, his daughter has gone crazy, and his son..."

Yu Zeying's ears buzzed, and he came to his senses only after half of the cigarette was burned in his hand. "Ah Ying!" Lu Sui saw that his face was not good, "What's wrong with you?" Yu Zeying pinched out the cigarette butt and threw it on the ground, his lips pale, "My eldest brother is doing evil again..." There were many people talking, and Lu Sui said vigilantly, "Let's talk about it in the car."

Back in the car, Yu Zeying felt the urge to smoke again. He reached for his cigarette box impatiently and finally took it out, but it was empty...

Liang Jingxuan timidly handed the last White Rabbit candy to his palm, and quickly withdrew his hand, fearing that he would pull her to take another bite, "Brother Ying, don't smoke anymore. Erhu's grandfather died of lung cancer from smoking..."

Erhu is the youngest son of Aunt Zhang next door. Grandpa Zhang passed away last winter. When he went to the hospital for a check-up, he was already in the advanced stage of lung cancer. He went home and smoked dry cigarettes for three consecutive nights. He died before dawn on the fourth day.

Yu Zeying sneered, peeled off the candy, threw it into his mouth and chewed it again and again. It had a strong milky flavor but was not greasy at all. After he finished chewing, the traffic jam was no longer there.

"Ah Sui, do you think the former mayor really embezzled the 10 million?"

“I don’t know…” Lu Sui had been away from home for many years, and even if he came back, he wouldn’t stay long. But the former mayor, Lu Jun, said that he was diligent and caring for the people, and didn’t seem like a greedy person…

Yu Zeying raised the corner of his mouth in self-mockery, "This is actually not about corrupt officials being brought down. This is a bloody, life-and-death struggle... It seems that they have won this time, but in fact they have also "lost". My brother, my grandfather, my uncle, sooner or later there will be such a day..."

He was very scared about the future, but he couldn't get rid of it. His surname was Yu, and it was the shackles and handcuffs that imprisoned him and trapped him. Only death could break it...
