"How long has it been since we last seen each other? Your temper has gotten worse again?"
Looking at Mao Qiu'er's appearance at this time, Mao Sandao could clearly see that Mao Qiu'er was acting out.
He reluctantly closed the door gently and walked out.
"Woooo..."
Hearing the footsteps of his master disappearing outside the door, Furball slowly turned around, his head lying between his two front paws, his upper eyelids drooping slightly, and he stared listlessly at the tightly closed door.
There were tears in his eyes.
As if to say: Master, you have abandoned me again...
Mao Sandao bought a fruit basket near the hospital and walked to the door of the ward, but before he could step in, he heard the conversation between Jiao Qiu'er and Zhang Shuyan coming from inside.
He stopped.
"Yan'er, let me kiss you again."
"No, with so many people there, people will be shy."
"What are you afraid of? Why am I kissing my own girlfriend? Come on, let me kiss her."
"No, how embarrassing it would be if Brother Sandao saw it!"
"How embarrassing can it be?"
"Uh... It's probably like... It's as embarrassing as Brother Sandao hearing the conversation between the two of us outside the door."
"..." Mao San said.
"No, no, this guy won't come. Just one sip, just a small sip."
"Just one bite?"
"I promise, just one bite! Um...ba!"
Mao Sandao stood outside the door with a dark look on his face.
Excuse me,
When did you two become so disgusted?
Mao Sandao couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body and shuddered.
"Ahem! Uh-huh...!"
Standing at the door, Mao Sandao held his throat, coughed twice, and cleared his throat.
He didn't want to disturb the two people's "elegance", but they made him feel so disgusted that he couldn't help but insert an "interlude".
In the ward, Jiao Qiu'er and Zhang Shuyan, who were hugging each other, heard the sound at the door, and their bodies instantly jumped away like two opposite magnets.
Both of them heard it. Who else could this voice be besides Mao Sandao?
Zhang Shuyan quickly wiped her face: I hate it, was the conversation really heard? So ashamed.
Jiao Qiuer quickly wiped his mouth: Damn it, are you really here? So annoying.
Mao Sandao was not in a hurry to go in. He wanted to give the two of them enough time to prepare and avoid the situation becoming embarrassing.
"Damn Third Commander, what are you doing sneaking around and hiding outside?"
Jiao Qiu'er glanced at the door and saw that Mao Sandao's shadow printed inside the door had not moved.
Mao Sandao then walked into the ward, put the fruit basket on the cabinet, looked at Jiao Qiu'er's bandaged leg, and asked nonchalantly:
"How is your leg recovering?"
"It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones." Jiao Qiu'er glanced at his legs: "It won't be cured in a few months."
Mao Sandao glanced at Zhang Shuyan, who was sitting on the side with her head bowed shyly, and said with a smile: "If you have someone with you, it won't be a problem if you lie down for a year."
Jiao Qiu'er rolled his eyes, took out the small black packaging bag from under the pillow, tore it open, took out the brown stuff inside, put it into his mouth and chewed it.
"What are you taking? Medicine?" Mao Sandao asked, pointing to the bag in Jiao Qiu'er's hand.
"Betel nut, hiss...!" The stimulation of betel nut made Jiao Qiu'er's whole body tremble.
"Betel nut?" Mao Sandao said seriously, "This thing is a first-level carcinogen, eat less!"
Regarding betel nut, Mao Sandao made a special inquiry. It originated in Malaysia and was originally just a famous medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. Because the arecoline contained in it has insecticidal and anti-inflammatory effects, it is extremely popular in the south.
Later, during the consumption process, people discovered that in addition to its insecticidal effect, betel nut also had the effect of stimulating people.
Among them, arecoline and ephedrine stimulate the production of adrenocortical hormones that directly act on the central nervous system, causing the human body to become excited and produce a feeling of happiness.
So high, I feel like my life has reached a climax...
However, long-term consumption can cause tooth wear and loosening and gum recession.
It can also lead to oral submucosal fibrosis and oral leukoplakia. In severe cases, it can lead to oral cancer, tongue cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer, etc.
Then, the temporary high will be the permanent bottom.
Therefore, Mao Sandao is very resistant to this kind of snack food.
When he saw Jiao Qiu'er eating, he almost instinctively stopped him.
"I don't know how many times I've reminded him, but he just doesn't listen and insists on me buying it!" Zhang Shuyan looked at Jiao Qiu'er with a face full of complaints.
Being lectured by both sides, Jiao Qiuer reluctantly spit out the betel nut in his mouth into the trash can:
"It's not that I want to eat it. The main reason is that my legs are too uncomfortable. Eating betel nut can relieve it."
"Brother Sandao also said that this is a first-level carcinogen. I don't care what happens to your body in the future!" Even so, Zhang Shuyan still comforted her with distress, "Be obedient, be patient, and it will be over soon." ”
Jiao Qiu'er grabbed Zhang Shuyan's hand and nodded: "Yes, I won't eat it in the future."
He threw all the betel nuts under the pillow into the trash can, raised his head and asked, "By the way, Third Commander, why are you free to come here today?"
Mao Sandao sat by the bed: "I came here to see you and tell you something. Grandpa Liu is gone."
"It's okay to leave." Jiao Qiu'er didn't understand the meaning of Mao Sandao's words and said disapprovingly, "I'm old, it doesn't matter if I go out for a walk, it's not good to stay at home all the time."
"What IQ? I mean Grandpa Liu passed away, not left home!" Mao Sandao's tone became a little more serious.
"Ah? Dead...dead?" Jiao Qiu'er said in shock, "Wasn't this old man fine some time ago?"
"Who is Grandpa Liu?" Zhang Shuyan asked with a frown.
"He is an old man from our village." Mao Sandao responded.
Jiao Qiu'er suddenly seemed to think of something, and immediately asked: "Isn't it because of what happened that night?"
Mao Sandao nodded slightly: "Yes, the root of the disease has fallen."
Zhang Shuyan couldn't understand what Mao Sandao and Jiao Qiu'er were talking about, and asked again: "What happened that night? What are you talking about?"
"It was the night the third handsome man's grandfather passed away..."
"On the night my grandfather passed away, Grandpa Liu accidentally fell down, which caused the disease. Old people cannot withstand a fall."
Mao Sandao secretly blinked at Jiao Qiu'er. He didn't think this was something worth "sharing".
Regarding his grandfather's "corpse fraud", Mao Sandao felt that the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
"Ah, yes! I accidentally fell down, and it was a terrible fall." Jiao Qiu'er changed his words knowingly.
"Oh, that's what the elderly are like. My grandfather fell down and died because of his old age. So, the elderly must pay attention."
Zhang Shuyan obviously believed what Mao Sandao and Jiao Qiuer were singing, and added a few words on the side.
"When did you die?" Jiao Qiu'er asked.
"Yesterday." Mao Sandao sighed slightly, "I just buried it this morning."
"Why was it buried so early?" Jiao Qiu'er asked in surprise, "Isn't it normal to bury the body for three days?"
Mao Sandao shrugged: "Grandpa Liu said that he had no children or relatives, and he didn't want to injure the villagers, so he told him to bury him the next day."
"This old man is quite thoughtful." Jiao Qiu'er said with a solemn expression, "This person is really hard to say, he will be gone if he doesn't..."
"Oh! So, just live well now." Zhang Shuyan helped Jiao Qiu'er straighten the quilt.
At this time, Dr. Xu walked in.
Mao Sandao stood up quickly: "Doctor Xu."
"You're here." Doctor Xu smiled at him, "Come to see your brother?"
Mao Sandao nodded: "Yes, my brother's legs are thanks to Dr. Xu."
"It is a doctor's duty to save lives and heal the wounded. No need to thank you." Doctor Xu waved his hand, walked to the bedside, looked at Jiao Qiu'er and asked with a smile, "Jiao Maiqi, how are you feeling today?"
"Today is better than yesterday." Jiao Qiuer tried his best to shake his legs and responded.
"Okay, it looks like we'll be fine if we rest for a while."
Dr. Xu smiled and walked out of the ward.
