his tongue-in-cheek guide

Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Pride and Prejudice

The dark, deep corridor of the hospital, the walls painted green, the unpleasant smell of alcohol.The ceiling was leaking water from age and had a disgusting musty smell.

Fang Qi felt familiar.

He knew that there would soon be a hospital bed with a pale woman on it.

Sure enough, I opened a door marked 206, and a three-person ward appeared, with a woman sitting on the innermost bed.

A frail woman, wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, with long, thin and withered hair, she couldn't see the thick shadow of the past, only a little bit of beauty could be seen between her eyebrows.

The woman was smiling at him, with a touch of tenderness and sadness in that smile.She was saying, "Xiao Qi, come here quickly!"

Suddenly, the woman's smiling face, like a poor-quality mask, gradually shattered piece by piece, and then turned into a gray, lifeless face.

He seemed to hear someone crying, the young one didn't dare to cry aloud, sobbing in his mouth.

Something deep and dark was trying to drag his legs down.

He felt a little tired and didn't want to struggle anymore.

The scene changed.

In the classroom in the early summer afternoon, Cicadas were already yelling one after another on the camphor tree outside the window, desperately seeking a mate.

The warm wind blows the curtains in the classroom, raising a gentle and graceful arc, as high as a flag that is about to sail.

It's still the light green chemical fiber curtain cloth that can never be washed clean.

The boy in front of the window is bathed in the sun, his white shirt is shining brightly, and the signature pen in the boy's hand is writing vigorously on the roll of paper, making rustling sounds.

He stared at the boy's white wrist, the light blue blood vessels throbbing slowly under the skin.

Something is fermenting in the slightly boozy summer air.

The class bell rang, and Lu's classmates returned to the classroom one after another. His vision of the boy was blocked by the backs of countless people coming and going.

He was anxious in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.Then a thunderous shout exploded in his ears:

"Hey, Fang Qi, the teacher told you to go to the office!"

Fang Qi was shocked and woke up.

A figure sat beside him in the darkness.

He is too familiar with this room, the silent room in the tower, since he was awakened as a sentinel at the age of 15, he has stayed in this room for countless times.

The person sitting next to him didn't speak, but Fang Qi could feel the warm and peaceful aura lingering around him, which was the guide's spiritual healing for the sentinel.

The surrounding white noise is like a gentle and graceful ditty. He has followed Franky on missions since he was very young. His body caused him trouble. Although the teacher at that time was strict, he could always knock him out with a hand knife when he approached the critical point.

Here it is after waking up.

Come to think of it, it was almost ten years ago.

Fang Qi scratched his head irritably. After the sentinel went into mania, the most painful picture in memory would appear repeatedly in his mind. When the mental picture was restored, it would be replaced by the best memory.

It's like this every time, first in the dark and cramped hospital, with the sick woman, then in the bright and warm classroom, with the teenager doing homework.

These two scenes always appear repeatedly, and he is very used to it.

"Are you awake?" the guide in the dark asked.

Fang Qi was taken aback, this wasn't Coco, nor was it any of the guides in the tower he was familiar with. He was about to have a seizure, but suddenly felt that the voice seemed familiar.

"Lu Lanqiu?" He asked tentatively.

"Well, it's me." In this quiet space, Lu Lanqiu's tone was not as cold as before.

"Why are you here?"

"How did you get here, that's how I got here." The other party's voice was refreshing and refreshing, like some kind of summer drink.

"Why are you in the silent room?"

"I should ask you why you had such a big reaction after being mentally attacked by me. You started to become manic not long after you passed out, and other guides would bite when they approached, not even Coco. Are you a dog? No Are you vaccinated?"

"..."

The other party sighed in the dark: "Then, your group of team members begged me to accept my supernatural powers as if they had rehearsed. I couldn't refuse, and in the end, your female boss who looked like a heron with thin feet followed me. You are locked in a small dark room."

Fang Qi was speechless, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty.

"Really, really?"

"It's rare that the valiant phalanx sometimes stutters." Lu Lanqiu chuckled, and the laughter mixed with the white noise was surprisingly pleasant.

Fang Qi was a little unwilling to face such a tragic reality: "You, you wouldn't lie to me, would you? When I was manic in the past, the crazy product was still very good. It is said that I would quickly calm down after pressing and holding down the guide element. .”

The other party sneered: "What good does it do me to lie to you?" He paused, "To be honest, you didn't like me before, didn't you?"

Fang Qi quickly denied it: "Mr. Lu, why did you say that? Your sharp tongue is worth millions of steel masters. How dare I look down on you?"

"You'd better not lie to a guide."

It seems that he is very dissatisfied with the performance when they first met.

Fang Qi simply said to the end: "I am blind and have prejudice against you, and I am sorry for Teacher Lu."

Lu Lanqiu was curious: "It's probably the first time I've seen you, where did your prejudice come from?"

Fang Qi knew he was wrong: "I'm sorry, I didn't have a good influence on the hospital, and I don't like doctors."

The sudden frankness startled Lu Lanqiu, and he couldn't help but continue talking along the topic: "Is there a sick person at home?"

Fang Qi chuckled: "It's been so many years, now there's no one else, it's cold, no one collects the body after death."

Lu Lanqiu couldn't be more familiar with this story, he said clearly: "The conditions of your family were not good before, right?"

Fang Qi paused, guessing that the other party might have used his wizard ability again, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "It's against the law to enter the spiritual realm without authorization. Tell me honestly, did you just take advantage of the treatment to peep at my spiritual realm?"

Lu Lanqiu sneered: "That's why you need to use the spiritual link? - Who has the leisure to look at your spiritual domain, and besides, your head is as tight as an iron bucket, so how can you see things."

Fang Qi asked curiously, "Then how did you know?"

Lu Lanqiu sighed: "Most of the conflicts between doctors and patients in this world are caused by lack of money."

Fang Qi didn't speak.

"Actually, it's not wrong for you to hate doctors. In the final analysis, medical care is also a product of capital." Lu Lanqiu smiled self-deprecatingly, paused, and continued: "But you are different. The doctor you hate, It's just a substitute for hating your incompetence."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Lanqiu almost didn't need to use her guiding ability to feel the anger welling up in the opponent's body.

He always spoke sharply, and his words were so cruel that he almost stabbed Fang Qi's heart with a knife.

But the anger quickly disappeared like a tidal wave: "I just don't like that you all look like saviors in everything you do. Isn't this your duty, just like it is my duty to complete the task."

These words were biased, he naturally didn't know what kind of risk Lu Lanqiu took to save that so-called expert.

Although there are some inexplicable cautions in this.

Lu Lanqiu was not angry when he heard these words. He has practiced medicine for nearly ten years and suffered countless doubts and criticisms. It's just a small part of his job.

"If you think that life is something that can be labeled and valued, you will naturally not think that my work is noble—isn't your duty to deprive and destroy life?"

Fang Qi retorted: "I respect every life that dies in my hands, just as the existence of some people can promote the progress of mankind, so does the death of some people."

Lu Lanqiu sighed: "You will never know how difficult it is to prolong human life in the field of science, and you will naturally not know the desire of a terminally ill patient to live even a minute longer. Because for you, killing a person is just a matter of raising your hand lightly. But as a healer, everything we do is to allow human beings to enjoy even a moment of life in this world. "

Fang Qi was at a loss for words, this person actually carried some integrity of helping the world and saving people that the ancient scholars said.

He turned over and stretched out his hand hesitantly in the darkness. The sentinel's five senses were very powerful, and even in the absolute darkness, he could still find the target accurately.

He lightly put Lu Lanqiu on the shoulders, and this person was actually much thinner than expected. It can be seen that there were objective factors in his saying that the other party was not physically strong.

But it was such a shoulder that carried out his conscience as a doctor and propped up everyone's hope for life this night.

He suddenly had some respect for Lu Lanqiu.

Fang Qi thought, even in such an era where there is no future in sight, people like Lu Lanqiu who are passionate about life are still needed.

He wanted to pass on the encouragement to the other party: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I apologize for my arrogance."

The other party chuckled again: "To each other."

The two parties finally reached a settlement after a series of incidents.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere at the moment, Lu Lanqiu asked a question he wanted to ask before: "There is one thing that I am very concerned about."

Fang Qi was in a good mood at the moment: "You ask."

"Before you fell into a coma, what did you mean by 'it's you', could you tell me, Captain Fang?"

Then I heard the sound of the sentinel rolling down from the bed in the dark. Fortunately, the floor of the silent room has also been treated so that it will not hurt people when they fall.

"What's wrong? Is it convenient to say?"

Fang Qi scratched his head, he didn't know how to speak, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "You have a pair of eyes that I feel familiar with."

Lu Lanqiu said: "Are those eyes related to my surname? The one I asked when we first met?"

Fang Qi did not continue to delve into this question, he thought for a while, and said: "It has nothing to do with anyone, it's just an obsession."

A vain obsession in a distant memory.

The author has something to say: That's right, that boy is Teacher Lu, Fang Dui's bitter first (unrequited) love.

The kind of unrequited love that can't be more alone, only dare to look at it from a distance.

Let you be so □□ at the beginning, without Teacher Lu, you should.
