Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

Eri, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, did not understand the meaning of the word hydrogen bomb, but Su Xiaoqiang, who had grown up under the legendary glory of the two bombs and one satellite, knew very well what these two small words meant, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

It seemed that the dark side of the world that Lu Mingfei described finally became three-dimensional in her mind.

"If it rains tomorrow, then let's do it tomorrow." Lu Mingfei said.

Lord Wa was stunned for a moment. "Why wait for the rain?" she asked.

"Rain is the best medium for the Nibelungen to invade reality, and according to my experience, I can only enter Odin's realm when it rains." Lu Mingfei said.

"That's easy. We'll use artificial rainfall tonight and you can pack up and get ready to go tomorrow." Lord Wa hung up the video happily. Lu Mingfei didn't care. Anyway, the sooner he did this, the better.

Odin's puppet suffered severe damage in Tokyo. Now is the best time to completely destroy him. If we delay, he may have fully recovered.

"What are you going to do?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.

"Fight." Lu Mingfei said.

"I hear Odin."

"Beat Odin."

"But that thing is the main god of the Scandinavian Peninsula, and we are in Jiangnan..." Su Xiaoqiang felt that his worldview was a little collapsed.

Lu Mingfei looked into the girl's eyes through the rearview mirror and smiled: "There are many things in our world that are beyond your imagination. Odin appearing in Hefei is nothing. There are even dragons in Yangcheng Lake."

They were rushing to the hospital where Old Man Su was receiving treatment.

Old Man Su was really nice to Lu Mingfei in the past. He treated him like his own son. When graduation was approaching, he even planned to send him and Su Xiaoqiang to study abroad.

Two years ago, he was still so energetic, walking with great vigor, and was a powerful figure in the business circle of this city. He was also a tyrant. But unexpectedly, he fell ill with cerebral thrombosis two years later. Su Xiaoqiang said that now he has developed hemiplegia and confusion, and he doesn't know whether he can stand up again.

With the current medical level available to the general public, it is almost impossible to completely cure cerebral thrombosis in middle-aged people of Old Man Su's age. Su Xiaoqiang originally did this with the hope that Lu Mingfei would visit his father.

But when another ancient world full of extraordinary power slowly unfolds before her like a picture scroll, a certain silent hope in the girl's heart is sprouting like bamboo shoots after the spring rain.

In fact, Lu Mingfei's reluctance to die does have a therapeutic effect, but this effect is not without side effects, and he is not sure whether it will be successful.

But gotta give it a try.

After driving on the main road for a while, they actually passed the toll booth and got on the highway. Lu Mingfei followed the navigation all the way, but the car went further and further off the track, clearly heading towards the suburbs.

"My father was originally receiving treatment at Anhui Cardiovascular Hospital, but the doctor said that conservative treatment would not work for him. He had to undergo surgery, but the risks were too great. My mother and I were not determined to do that." Su Xiaoqiang was a little depressed when he said these words.
"Later, we invited another team of experts to diagnose him, but the conclusion was the same. We temporarily transferred him to a sanatorium in the suburbs, hired nurses to take care of him, and had cardiovascular specialists to check on him on a daily basis. It was more comfortable than living in a regular hospital... When my dad was able to move around, he would ask the nurses to accompany him to go fishing outside or play chess and cards with his fellow patients. Now he can only lie in bed."

Lu Mingfei nodded without saying anything. The Rolls-Royce Phantom was speeding on the highway. The windbreaks on both sides were like giants running against the flow.

In fact, the toll station next to this highway is the elevated road where Chu Tianjiao and Chu Zihang had an accident many years ago. Lu Mingfei had a bad feeling in his heart. He always felt that what he was doing seemed to be on the track predetermined by someone.

"Don't worry, my superpowers include not only turning into a monster but also curing illnesses and saving lives." Lu Mingfei joked, "In the academy, when someone breaks an arm or a leg, they ask me to fix it for them."

He wasn't exaggerating. Although the medical level of the school clinic was at the forefront of existing medical technology, it was still limited by the times. It was impossible to really turn a person from half to whole. Some severed limbs would have sequelae even if they were reconnected.

But Lu Mingfei’s unwillingness to die was different. After the severed limbs were reattached, they could be used as well as before, and there were no side effects in the short term. Therefore, some executive department specialists who made significant contributions to the college did receive Lu Mingfei’s treatment under the arrangement of the college.

Near the sanatorium is a wetland park. Gradually, the asphalt road becomes flat and spacious. The sun shines through the clouds. The snow on the street is cleared away by bulldozers. The green shades on both sides of the asphalt road are translucent, and the leaves of various landscape trees on the roadside fall in the wind.

To drive in such a place, even a Rolls-Royce Phantom worth 900 million had to close the exhaust valve and glide forward. Lu Mingfei turned on the wipers to scrape off the fallen leaves rustling on the windows. The moss on the roadside was slightly yellow. Everywhere you could see caregivers in loose white uniforms pushing wheelchairs with elderly people who were unable to move walking in the sun.

The sky above was as clear as water, and the undulating mountains in the distance were as beautiful as a girl's newly painted eyebrows. Eri opened her mouth slightly and pressed her face against the window glass. The shadows of the mountains were reflected in her eyes, as well as a thin layer of sunlight.

"This is our Jiangnan. You are very lucky to see snow in Jiangnan." Su Xiaoqiang said.

Eri nodded ignorantly, only feeling the warmth of the sun falling on her body.

The sanatorium is located at the end of this asphalt road. It is clearly more than 300 kilometers away from Suzhou, but the sanatorium is actually a huge Suzhou garden with single-family courtyards scattered throughout. Each courtyard provides services to a separate customer. If you want to recuperate here, money alone is not enough, you must also have enough power.

The garden was surrounded by white brick walls. Looking down from afar from his vantage point, Lu Mingfei was filled with awe. He felt that this place must have been designed by a master. It turned out that this small sanatorium could combine the tranquil atmosphere of the Humble Administrator's Garden, the winding paths of the Lingering Garden, and the delicacy of the Master of the Nets Garden.

The security guard standing upright at the entrance immediately let Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang pass after confirming their identities. In fact, there was no need to confirm their identities, as the security guards knew by heart the cars of every household that could live in the sanatorium. Lu Mingfei found a parking spot at random in the empty open-air parking lot, opened the door, and got out of the car with some fruit in his hand.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Mingfei came here to help Old Man Su cure his cerebral thrombosis, so health supplements and the like are actually of no use. Just bring some fruits as a token of his appreciation.

After leaving the parking lot, there is a small road made of cobblestones. It is obvious that when this place was designed, it was not considered to allow private cars to run wildly. However, on the right hand side, there is a means of transportation similar to a sightseeing car. Compared with a private car, it is much smaller, of course, it can easily seat six or seven people, and it is very stable when running on this kind of small road. I think it can also transport the elderly with limited mobility to the entrance of the nursing home when necessary.

Although it is a private high-end sanatorium without even a Red Cross sign, there are indeed several ambulances parked on the roadside at the end of the asphalt road. In the event of an unexpected situation that even the resident experts cannot resolve, the sanatorium can quickly send the patient to the nearest hospital for treatment.

Su Xiaoqiang should be a frequent visitor here. With his eyelids slightly lowered, he controlled the steering wheel with one hand and drove the sightseeing car towards the depths of the sanatorium. I don't know what kind of flowers are in bloom in this climate, and the breeze blowing in is filled with a cool fragrance.

"When my father was still able to jump and run, he would go to the pavilion to practice Tai Chi every morning. After practicing Tai Chi, he would sit there and fish." Su Xiaoqiang raised his chin towards the pond next to him with cold ripples. Lu Mingfei looked and saw a pavilion in the middle of the clear pond. The small bridge connecting the pavilion was built over the pond, and the corridor was winding like a belt.

"Uncle has a really good attitude." Lu Mingfei said.

"Because at that time he still thought that the disease was nothing serious, and he would just stay in the hospital for a few days before going home." Su Xiaoqiang said, "Later, he began to suffer from hemiplegia, and his willpower became much lower. I was really worried that he would not be able to accept the reality and would not be able to get over it."

"How could that be? My uncle once told me that he was a man of steel."

"Illness is a very torturous thing. It can burn steel into ashes," said Su Xiaoqiang.

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Leaves were falling and the sightseeing bus was driving along the cobblestone path. Most of the caregivers and staff on both sides of the road were in a hurry, but there were also old people who covered themselves tightly with down jackets or cotton jackets and stood by the pool, staring at the white storks falling from the water for a long time.

After driving for a few more minutes, Su Xiaoqiang parked the car on the side of the road, led Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi out of the car, turned left and right in the alleys between the courtyards, and finally arrived at the courtyard where Old Man Su was staying.

The small building looks antique with green bricks and ancient tiles, but it turns out that the door is equipped with a very advanced fingerprint lock. After the gate is opened, there is a corridor paved with marble bricks. Between the corridors is a huge patio where water can flow down along the eaves. At the bottom of the patio lies smooth and translucent pebbles.

In Chinese feng shui, this kind of architectural layout is called a cornucopia.

Su Xiaoqiang hooked her finger at Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei scratched his hair and walked to her.

The girl held Eiry's arm with one hand and stretched out her other hand to brush away the leaves that had fallen on Lu Mingfei's shoulder. The wind carrying the cool fragrance of flowers blew by, and the delicate copper pieces hanging from the eaves of the corridor on the side facing the patio collided with each other, making a pleasant sound.

"Eri, can you lend me your boyfriend for a while?" Su Xiaoqiang smiled, her long eyebrows curved like willow leaves. When she was not so arrogant, there were shallow dimples on her cheeks, and she suddenly looked a lot more childish.

Looking at her profile, Lu Mingfei seemed to have suddenly returned to Shilan Middle School many years ago. At that time, Su Xiaoqiang was still wearing a loose school uniform. They stood together on the rooftop of the teaching building in the sunset breeze. The titanium-black building in the distance looked like a square monument rising from the ground in the afterglow of the sunset. A hundred kinds of flowers and plants grew quietly in the glass greenhouse. The girl's hair was raised and rolled like clouds. Lu Mingfei's heart had never been so peaceful. At a certain moment, he turned his eyes and looked back, but his eyes met Su Xiaoqiang's. For some people, that moment is eternal.

Eiry grabbed the corner of her clothes, lowered her head and thought for a while, "Okay." When she looked up, Su Xiaoqiang's slightly embarrassed face was reflected in her wine-red pupils. The little angel breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

She turned her head and tilted it, seeing Lu Mingfei's stunned expression, she burst out laughing.

“When I was in high school, my dad kept telling me to seize opportunities. Unfortunately, just like what you said, we are from two different worlds. I can never keep up with you.” Su Xiaoqiang smiled enough and smoothed Lu Mingfei’s hair that was a little messy due to the wind. He looked up and down at this guy who had grown into a man in just two years. For some reason, his nose felt a little sour. He blinked, turned his face away and sniffed. “I also know that you told me that your superpower can cure Dad’s illness just to make me happy... Then why not make my dad happy too, Senior Brother, can you pretend to be my boyfriend for a while?”

Lu Mingfei was slightly moved and said, "Girl, you really can't hide your feelings at all. The whole world knows your little thoughts. If everyone knows what you are thinking, you will suffer one day, do you know that?"

After a while, without waiting for a response, the little girl turned her head back. She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her mouth was flat, and her eyes were slightly red. Lu Mingfei quickly reached out to pinch the girl's face and said, "This is a small matter. As long as it can make your uncle happy, let alone ask me to pretend to be your boyfriend, I am willing to pretend to be your grandson."

"Bah, bah, bah, who asked you to pretend to be a grandson? Am I that old?" Su Xiaoqiang got angry and stretched his neck to bite Lu Mingfei's fingers. Lu Mingfei quickly retracted his head.

"I said."

"Ok?"

"You have to act properly. As my boyfriend, shouldn't you put your arm around my waist?" Su Xiaoqiang snorted, "Why, are you afraid that Eri will make you kneel on a durian when you get home?"

"No, no, Sakura, don't worry, I won't ask you to kneel on the durian!" Eri quickly waved her hands with a serious expression on her face.

"Sakura?" Su Xiaoqiang showed a puzzled expression. Lu Mingfei sighed and thought that he still couldn't get through this level. He could only hum and haw while hugging the girl's slender waist beside him and walking into the corridor.

Father Su's room was on the second floor. The person in charge of the nursing home installed elevators in each small courtyard. The elevators were independently powered, so there was no need to worry about not being able to use them in an emergency. The whole courtyard was quiet, with only the gurgling sound of running water outside the window.

The spacious corridor was filled with the faint scent of osmanthus, probably to cover up the smell of disinfectant. (End of this chapter)
