Chapter 16
The hotel is in the new land concession southeast of Tiancheng, and Zhuang Tianshen’s house is in the old city in the center, while the medical school is built in the north of the city.
In order of distance, first send Zhuang Tianshen, and then Su Xuezhi.
The school is by the river, not only the road is far away, but after leaving the city, there are large mass graves on both sides of the road. In the past, the government was beheaded by the government and the dead and buried people. It was nothing to see during the day, but it was just a little desolate. At night, there were black sluts and ghost fires around, which made it a little scary.
Su Xuezhi is not afraid of cemeteries or deaths.
She is afraid of living people.
A few days after coming here to school, she was reminded by Lu Dingguo more than once that the city was mixed with fish and dragons, and the public security was worrying. There were patrols in the concession patrol day and night, and the order was pretty good, but in other places, water from all over the world, large and small, would control the territory with foot traffic, and there were many gangs on the streets, pickpockets and gangsters were unable to defend themselves. As for the deserted corners, everything could happen when it was dark. In the past, it was not only not improved, but it was even more chaotic, and she told her not to go out alone at night.
It's already so late, so it's natural to worry about being able to take the bus back.
She was sent to the school gate. The car stopped and she was about to open the door and get out of the car. The leopard had already pushed the door and got out of the car. She quickly came over and opened the door for her.
"Young Master Su, please leave." He said.
When he sent Zhuang Tianshen home just now, he didn't get off the bus. His attitude towards himself is not very different now, and it is even more different from when he was on the boat before.
Of course it was because of what happened later on the ship.
Su Xuezhi thanked him, got out of the car and walked in.
The leopard watched the figure in front of him disappear at the school gate, drove back, and did not go back to the hotel. He walked through the old city and came directly to the western-style building located in a quiet area in the French Concession. On two floors, he was surrounded by a courtyard full of roses.
This is He Mansion. Last year, the lady came to study at the Girls' Middle School. In order to facilitate her residence, the Fourth Master bought this mansion here not far from the school. It was originally a foreign minister of the former Qing Dynasty. The people living nearby were all famous people from Tiancheng.
The lights were on in the courtyard, and the door was half open, as if there was a car just in and out. When the doorman heard the movement, he came out and saw that it was his own car. He hurried to open the door and said that the Fourth Master had just returned shortly, and it was the car driven by Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang went in and sat for a while and had just left.
The leopard parked the car and went straight into it. The Fourth Master and the Miss were indeed still sitting in the living room.
"Fourth Master, as you ordered, you have sent everyone."
The leopard walked up and said.
He Hanzhu nodded, stood up from the sofa, and Helanxue, who was with him, rushed up immediately and held his arm: "Brother, I know your legs must be hurt, I will help you up the stairs!"
He Hanzhu laughed and bounced his sister's forehead with his fingers: "You are smart? Which eye does yours hurt me? It's been a long time ago, you don't need to help me." After saying that, he threw down his sister, stepped on the teak staircase with beautiful patterns, and went up.
"Brother, you hate it! I have said it so many times. Don't you let me play my head again, so I will become stupid!"
He Lanxue touched the bounced forehead, which was a little painful, and stumbled angrily, and chased after him.
He Hanzhu had already gone up to the second floor, stopped at the stairs, waited for his sister to catch up, and turned around and said, "Brother is really okay. It's not too early tonight. You should be tired, go back to your room to rest."
Helanxue pouted: "Okay, brother, you should rest early too!"
He Hanzhu watched his sister walk into a room on the right side of the corridor, went to the left and entered the room.
As soon as he entered, his steps became a little solemn. He untied the collar of his military uniform, took it off, threw it aside, sat down on a chair beside a table by the window, rubbed his forehead with his palms, picked up a stack of documents on the table, and flipped through it.
Wu Ma, who was working in the mansion, brought a glass of water and walked in.
"Mr. He, the bath water and clothes are ready."
He Hanzhu nodded, put down the papers, got up and went into the bathroom, and came out. He had changed into pajamas, wiped his wet hair with a snow-white towel, sat down to the edge of the bed, reached out to pull open a drawer of the bedside table, took out a bottle of potion from it, dipped it in cotton, and applied the wound on his legs.
The thread has been removed, but this long scar still looks hideous and ugly. The newly knotted light-colored flesh at the suture of the scar has become slightly swollen due to negligence over the past few days.
He applied the potion, picked up a glass of water on the bedside table, swallowed the medicine, turned around and saw that Wu Ma had not left yet, and his figure was wandering at the door, asking her if there was anything wrong.
Wu Ma said "ah" and hurried in and said, "Mr. He, that's it. Today I got news from my family that my son fell down and his grandson was sick again. With the busy farming season, my daughter-in-law was afraid that she would not be able to take care of her..."
Wu Ma comes from the local area and her home is dozens of miles away.
He Hanzhu said: "You go back and come back when the family is done. It will be fine for how long it will take." His tone was very gentle.
Wu Ma breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little sad: "I'm really sorry for you. I don't know when it will be better for me to leave. Mei Xiang is left in the mansion. I'm worried that she will not do good things..."
Mei Xiang is a little girl who usually fights for her.
She gritted her teeth: "If it's not convenient for you, sir, you can ask someone else, don't wait for me."
He Hanzhu smiled: "It's okay, don't worry, go back. The lady likes to eat the dishes you cook. I was not here last year, so you took good care of her."
He picked up a wallet thrown on the bedside table, pulled out a few bills, and handed it over: "Buy candy for your grandson."
This mansion has a simple population. In addition to the gentleman and the lady, she only brings Mei Xiang with her own, as well as the concierge and gardener. The key is that both the lady and the gentleman are very good and speak kindly. Unlike the families who used to do things, they are domineering to their subordinates. Now that they are forced to throw away this job, Wu Ma feels very reluctant to leave.
Unexpectedly, not only can I save my business, but Mr. He also gave her extra money. Wu Ma was moved and surprised. After pushing her, she finally took over the money, bowed repeatedly, and before leaving, she suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, Mr. He, when you were not at home during the day, Miss Liu called and asked her if you have arrived here and your physical condition. I said you are all well. She also chatted with me and asked me to convey her greetings to the lady. She is so nice."
Ms. Liu is a college student and is studying secretary at a university in Beijing. She often comes here to visit Ms. He while she is resting.
When she spoke, He Hanzhu had already returned to the table and flipped through the documents again.
The one placed at the top is an invitation letter.
Seeing that he didn't look back, Wu Ma flipped through the invitation letter, and said "um" and bowed sincerely to his back and retreated.
After a while, Leopard knocked on the door again and said Secretary Chen asked how to arrange the opening ceremony of the military medical school.
"Secretary Chen asked you if you need to push it for a few more days?" He looked at He Hanzhu's legs and asked. Seeing that the window was open, he was afraid that the cold wind would come in at night, so he went up and closed the window.
