Tianguanzhi

Gu Zhaoxue opened the door. Gu Tianyu, who was wrapped in gauze on his shoulders and hanging a bottle of sodium chloride, was looking up at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking.

"sister."

Gu Tianyu shouted.

"what happened?"

Gu Zhaoxue's eyes were bloodshot, obviously she hadn't slept all night.

"Hello, you are Xilou's sister. My surname is Yao. We have met before. Do you still remember?"

Yao Gong, who was wearing a gray textile jacket, took the initiative to step forward.

"Oh, remember, thank you for sending Tianyu... um, to the hospital."

Gu Zhaoxue looked around. This was obviously a black clinic operated without a license. It was only sixty meters square. There was a pungent smell of disinfectant in the air. The beds and equipment were simply separated by curtains. The glass cabinets were full of emergency medicines. When there were so many people in the room, there was almost no place to stay.

Gu Tianyu suffered a gunshot wound. Any regular hospital would report it to the patrol room immediately after examining the wound. This clinic has a close relationship with the Zhengqi Society, so there is no need to worry about being exposed.

"That's right. When we got off work today, we had a collision with Tianyu's motorboat. Tianyu was stabbed in the shoulder by the glass. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured."

"Steamboat?" Gu Zhaoxue looked confused: "Where did Tianyu get the steamboat?"

"I borrowed it from Uncle Yao. I'm sorry, sister."

"I was the one who suggested playing motorboat. I'm Tianyu's classmate. I'm sorry, sister."

"No, I brought it up."

Gu Zhaoxue's eyes wandered between the boy and the girl for several times, her expression very complicated.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yao, my child has caused you trouble. Please make a list for me for medicine expenses and accident compensation, and I will give you the money as soon as possible."

"It's nothing. Tianyu always comes to the mine before, and we all like him. Forget about the money, the most important thing is that the child is fine. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Yao Gong patted Gu Tianyu's shoulder and gave Chunsheng a wink. Just as the two were about to leave, the door was pushed open again, and a woman with heavy makeup, permed and dyed curly hair, and high heels hurriedly walked in. He walked in and looked around at the people in the clinic with a wary face.

"Mom~"

Sun Shaotang shouted softly.

……

……

When Gu Jianqiu arrived at the clinic, only Gu Zhaoxue, who was holding her shoulders and sulking, and Gu Tianyu, who bowed his head and remained silent, were left in the small room.

"You still know how to come?"

Gu Zhaoxue gave Gu Er a white look.

"what happened?"

Gu Jianqiu sat on the chair and frowned unconsciously. The bruises on his lower abdomen and arms under the jacket were still aching.

Gu Zhaoxue told the whole story, except that she omitted some of the harsh words Sun Shaotang's mother said in the clinic, and only said that the girl had been picked up by her mother. This made Gu Tianyu look at the eldest sister with some gratitude.

"Sister, you still have to go to work today."

"I asked the factory for a day off."

"Well. Mom can't lack someone to take care of her. You go back first, and I'll stay and talk to Tianyu."

Gu Zhaoxue glared at Gu Tianyu and nodded reluctantly: "Jianqiu, come out with me."

The two came outside the clinic, and Gu Zhaoxue sighed: "Tianyu has always been very sensible. You also know the situation in our family. He is actually under a lot of pressure. Sometimes I feel sorry for him. In fact, when something like this happens, I also feel sorry for him. It’s not all anger, it’s quite complicated. I think that girl is quite nice.”

"what?"

Gu Jianqiu didn't expect his sister's thinking to be so fast.

"Anyway, don't scold him too much. He's too old. Scolding him too harshly can easily lead to rebelliousness."

"understood."

Gu Jianqiu covered his forehead.

"Then I'll go back first."

After Gu Zhaoxue finished speaking, she left. Gu Jianqiu opened the door and returned to the clinic, shaking the few infusion bottles left on the shelf.

"Are you hungry? Let's find a place to eat." He took Gu Tianyu to a noodle stall and ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles and a plate of pickled vegetables. Some pork offal, tofu and the like are braised.

Gu Jianqiu pushed Yang Chunmian in front of his younger brother.

"Second brother, don't you want to eat noodles?"

"I've eaten, just eat whatever you want."

Gu Tianyu was indeed hungry. He picked up the bowl and ate in big gulps. In the end, he even drank the soup.

Gu Jianqiu took out a chocolate from his jacket and handed it to him, chewing the fried tofu in small bites.

He ordered the chocolate from the food tray on the Lido Grand Stage. The wrapping paper said that the raw materials were first-class imported from Jili. He tasted two of them himself. They were indeed mellow, fragrant and very delicious.

Gu Tianyu took the chocolate but didn't eat it. He held it in his hand and kneaded it for a long time: "Second brother, I'm sorry."

"Don't you have anything else to tell me?"

Gu Tianyu opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing and buried his head lower.

Now is not the time.

Gu Tianyu thought to himself.

"Tianyu, come here."

Gu Jianqiu raised his hand.

Gu Tianyu was stunned and hesitated for a while before standing up and approaching.

Gu Jianqiu stretched out two fingers and struck him on the head at a speed that Gu Tianyu could see clearly. Gu Tianyu only heard a thud, and there was a sharp pain in his forehead, his nose was sore, and he was about to burst into tears.

He bared his teeth for a while, and it took him a long time to calm down. His second brother was eating a plate of fried tofu.

"This matter ends here. Sister will not lecture you anymore. I heard that it was the Yao worker from Fengtang Mine who sent you to the clinic. He also helped you pay for the medicine? Are you familiar with each other? ?”

"Oh, I used to see him often when I helped my eldest brother deliver food."

Gu Tianyu felt relieved and responded casually.

"You still have to keep your distance from this person in the future."

Gu Jianqiu said while chewing: "I went to the mine to pay back the money today. Brother Pu, do you remember? He told me that both Yao Gong and the eldest brother are from the Zhengqi Society. He said that the money came from the Zhengqi Society, life and death. Refuse to accept it. Tianyu, you must have heard of Zhengqi Academy, right?"

"I've heard a little bit about it. But I remember that Zhengqi Society is a legal non-governmental organization."

Gu Tianyu's eyes wandered.

"What you heard is just scratching the surface."

Gu Jianqiu put down the plate: "Behind the Zhengqi Society is the Nihility Party. It is an organization that unconditionally opposes all authority and the state and adheres to anarchism. Although the Zhengqi Society is a legal non-governmental organization, the Nihility Party members are banned by various countries. The royal family has openly wanted the target. Of course, the empire is going all out to attack the Yanwuhe and has no time to take care of the Nihility Party. But who knows how the situation will change in the future?"

Gu Tianyu lowered his head and rummaged through the pickled vegetables on the plate with his chopsticks.

"Second brother, you said that the Nihilists are wanted by the royal family. Since these people are so dangerous, why did the eldest brother join the Zhengqi Society without telling his family?"

He tested Gu Jianqiu's attitude.

"I have received a new education and have read anarchist works, and I also recognize the progressive nature of some of their ideas and actions. Especially the opposition to inheritance rights and the establishment of a fair society. The eldest brother is a person with a knight-errant spirit. He is influenced by nothingness. The influence of partisans is not surprising.”

"What about you, second brother?"

"Didn't what I just said clear enough?"

Gu Tianyu blinked.

"Let's go home. By the way, Tianyu, eat the chocolate. If you hold it again, it will melt. Don't throw the candy wrappers around."

Gu Tianyu lowered his head and glanced at the chocolate in his hand. Part of it had indeed melted. He was suddenly startled. The two small characters "Lido" were clearly written on the chocolate wrapper. He opened the package and saw "This product is special" written on the candy wrapper. Available to guests who purchase Lido tickets.”

Lido...

Gu Tianyu obviously thought of something, and he looked at his second brother in disbelief.

"I'll throw it away for you."

Gu Jianqiu extended his hand to Tianyu.
