Five hundred and fortieth chapters a blessing in disguise(1/2)

Burns said: "In addition to praying, maybe hot compresses can also have some effects."

Luo Lie understood this sentence, and he nodded silently.

The young man Anliangtang said: "Doctor Burns is very busy. If we have no other problems, we will go back to the ward first."

The hospitalization fee of Lanoschue Hospital is quite high. The daily hospitalization fee for a bed in a general ward is 50 cents. The conditions for a senior bed are better. There are only two beds in a room, but the hospitalization fee is doubled.

On the way to the hospital, Luo Lie told Zhao Daxin the whole story. Zhao Daxin sighed when he heard this. He really didn't expect that An Zhai, who was lazy and stupid, had such a loyal side on weekdays.

"You don't have to worry about money when staying in a senior ward, and you'll have to pay it to your senior brother." While moved, Zhao Daxin regretted that he had ignored An Zhai before.

When he returned to the ward, Luo Lie immediately picked up the kettle, went out to make a pot of hot water, then soaked a hot towel, and applied it to An Zhai's eyes that were already wrapped in bandages.

An Zhai, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by a hot towel and said, "Luo Lie, is it you?Luo Lie?"

Luo Lie held An Zhai's hand and said, "Hold on, I just asked Dr. Burns, and he said that hot compress will be of great help to your eyes recover. Don't worry, An Zhai, your eyes will definitely get better."

An Zhai laughed.

"Luo Lie, why do you speak strangely? It sounds like you are about to cry. You don't have to be sad, I'm just blind and not dead."

Luo Lie turned his head, wiped the corner of his eyes secretly, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you won't be blind."

An Zhai said: "It doesn't matter if you are really blind, then the master will not force me to practice martial arts. If I go to the street to tell fortunes, I don't have to pretend to be blind anymore, because I am already a really blind man."

Luo Lie suddenly felt something blocked in his throat and couldn't speak, so he could only soak a hot towel to apply her eyes to An Zhai.

After lunch, the old ghost also rushed to the hospital. When he saw An Zhai, he showed a warm expression to him for the first time. The old ghost sat on the head of the bed, gently stroked An Zhai's forehead, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

An Zhai said happily: "Master, it doesn't hurt anymore, really, it doesn't hurt at all."

The old ghost said: "Good boy, don't worry. Even if you are really blind, Master can still share your ability to make a living."

An Zhai said: "Master, do you know how to tell fortunes?"

The old ghost was stunned and said, "Fortune telling? Yes, it's fortune telling. When you are discharged from the hospital, the master will teach you fortune telling."

An Zhai smiled bitterly and said, "But I don't like fortune telling. When I was in the Qing Dynasty, I recognized a fortune teller. I think fortune telling is a lie. My master didn't figure out that I would be blind and said that I will definitely make a name for myself in the future."

The old ghost said with a smile: "Then what do you like to do?"

An Zhai took a deep breath, thought for a while, and said, "I want to be a thief, just like Bai Yutang, who is chivalrous and righteous, and is respected by future generations."

Luo Lie happened to get hot water and entered the ward. After hearing An Zhai's ideal, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's true that Bai Yutang is a hero, but when was he voted as a thief?"

An Zhai said: "Bai Yutang is clearly a thief. Will the storyteller even lie?"

More than 20 years ago, a strange book was published, called "The Legend of Zhonglie and Chivalrous". Once the book was published, it immediately caused a sensation among the people. The Qing Dynasty, regardless of north, south, east and west, had the momentum of paper in Luoyang.

However, most people among the people were illiterate and illiterate, so they gave the storyteller a great opportunity. According to the text, they could not reflect the storyteller's level. Therefore, some storytellers added a lot of their own creative performance based on the characters and the main storyline in the book. The versions An Zhai heard were just one of the countless versions.

"Okay, Mr. Storytelling can't lie, only Hero An will lie." Luo Lie took a hot towel and applied it to An Zhai's eyes. He picked up an apple on the bedside table, broke it in half, half plugged An Zhai's mouth, and handed the other half to Master Lao Gui.

The old ghost took the apple but didn't eat it. He quietly watched An Zhai finish half of the apple after eating half of the apple, and then put half of the apple in his hand on An Zhai's hand. "Okay, Master is going back. An Zhai, recover well, don't worry about anything, ha!"

An Zhai ate the apple and replied in ambiguously: "I understand, Master."

After Master Lao Gui left, while Luo Lie changed his towel, An Zhai whispered: "Luo Lie, guess did Alice receive the note you left for her?"

"It probably hasn't." Luo Lie thought to himself that if Alice received the note, she would go to the Global Circus's headquarters to find him. Although he is not here now, his senior brothers and sisters are all there. As long as he finds any of his senior brothers and sisters, he will tell Alice that he is now in Lannoschu Hospital. He may not be sure, and he will take Alice to the hospital in person.

"I guess Alice must have received the note. If you don't believe it, let's bet."

Luo Lie curled his lips and said, "Just bet, tell me, what are you betting on?"

An Zhai said: "If you win, I will listen to you in everything in the future. If I win, you will have to call me brother in the future."

An Zhai is one year older than Luo Lie, but since the two met at the Chinese and Western Schools, Luo Lie never called An Zhai Brother. Instead, An Zhai, sometimes when he asked Luo Lie to do something, he called each other very kindly.

"You think beautifully!" Luo Lie smiled and said, "Is it interesting to listen to me? Do you like to listen to me or not? I am not happy to let you listen. Also, I am your senior brother, why should I call you brother?"

An Zhai begged, "Then what do you think we should bet on?"

Luo Lie said: "Or the other way around, if you win, I will listen to you in everything in the future. If I win, you will have to call me brother in the future."

An Zhai wanted to make a bet, but she wanted to have some fun. As for what to bet, it didn't matter. Therefore, as soon as Luo Lie finished speaking, An Zhai agreed.

It was so coincidental that as soon as the two brothers made their bet, Alice's question came from the corridor outside, and Luo Lie hurriedly went out and responded: "Alice, we are here."

Alice followed Luo Lie to An Zhai's hospital bed. Before Alice could comfort Zhai, An Zhai spoke first: "Luo Lie, ask Alice, have she received the note?"

Obviously, the possibility of Luo Lie losing the bet is much greater than winning it, but Luo Lie bullied An Zhai at this time and could not understand English, so he asked Alice: "Has the Nedland Theater sent you an invitation?"

Alice exaggeratedly: "No, no, how is that possible?"

Luo Lie turned to An Zhai and spread his hands and said, "Did you hear Alice's answer?"

An Zhai also studied English at the Chinese and Western School. Although his grades were extremely poor, he could still understand the two English words. "Okay, Luo Lie, you won."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Remember, don't call me Luo Lie again in the future, you must call me brother."

Alice couldn't understand Chinese, and was puzzled by the conversation between the two brothers. She couldn't help but shake her head and asked, "What are you talking about? Is it about me?"

The bet was decided, and An Zhai couldn't understand English, so Luo Lie said with peace of mind: "Yes, Alice, I want to ask you, have you received the note I left for you?"

Alice widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Note, what note? God testified that I have never seen the note you left for me."

Luo Lie frowned and asked, "Didn't receive the note? Then why did you come to me?"

Alice spread her hands and said angrily: "God, what's the problem? You are my friend, and you once sent me an invitation to find you at the Global Circus. Are you wrong? Do you have to see your notes before you can come to you?"

Luo Lie quickly explained: "Alice, you misunderstood. I mean..."

Alice didn't let Luo Lie finish his words, and walked around the end of the bed and came to An Zhai. She still looked angry and shouted, "Nuoli, you are not cute at all, are you, An." As she said that, she bent down and gently kissed An Zhai's forehead, who had half her face wrapped around her, "God bless you, my friend."

An Zhai immediately became happy and gave Luo Lie a thumbs up.

Luo Lie suddenly felt that the heart felt as if it had been soaked in vinegar, sour and a little astringent. But this is the culture of foreigners, but Luo Lie could not use any tricks.

Alice suddenly giggled and pointed at Luo Lie and said, "Nuoli, you are still quite cute when you are angry. Okay, I am joking with you. If you hurt you, I will express my sincerest apology to you."

Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands as he learned from foreigners, saying, "Alice, I'm not angry. I just want to tell you good news that you can re-appear on the stage of the Nedland Grand Theater."

Alice's eyes widened again and said, "Nori, do you know what you are talking about? Re-emerge on the stage of the Nedland Grand Theater? Oh my God, how is that possible?"

Luo Lie said: "It's true. My master has agreed to my suggestion. He decided to hire you as his performance assistant."

Alice likes singing and dancing since childhood, but whether it is a singer or a dancer, it will be useless if she doesn't get the opportunity to go on stage. Therefore, for Alice, being able to stand on the stage on Broadway is the biggest dream. As for what to perform on stage, it is not very important.

Luo Lie said sincerely and affirmed. Alice had no reason to doubt it. She became excited in an instant. She covered her face with her hands and squatted on the ward. "No, don't you guys come over. I need to be quiet. I'm so excited."

After a while, Alice let go of her hand, stood up, spread her arms, and came to Luo Lie, "Nuoli, you are really my angel, thank you."

The girlish fragrance emitted from Alice made Luo Lie feel dizzy. Then, Alice hugged her. Luo Lie took Alice's hug at a loss, and couldn't help but feel a daze again. In a trance, he suddenly felt that Alice kissed her cheek, which was purely a natural reaction, and Luo Lie's face turned red in an instant.

"Ai, Alice, you're welcome, I, I just did what a friend should do." In just one sentence, Luo Lie actually stumbled three times.

Na Duo finally left Anliangtang and returned to the headquarters of the Global Circus. He thought that there were still dozens of people in the class who wanted to make a living with Na Duo, and at the same time, he also wanted to give Mr. Anderson a thin portion. Gu Haoran let Na Duo go and only cut off his little finger with his right hand.

Strong pain can make people wake up, but it can also make people more confused. Na Duo obviously belongs to the latter. He did not review himself and dared not hold a grudge against Gu Haoran. His grudges with Lao Gui and Peng Jiaban could only be buried deep in his heart, but he counted the anger in his heart on the head of Anderson.

If Anderson hadn't supported Peng Jiaban, then Naduo would not have had such strong jealousy towards Peng Jiaban. Without this jealousy, Naduo would not have taken the risk of kidnapping, nor would he have lost a little finger.

Naduo thought he was a hero who wanted to avenge his revenge, so he had to vent his anger against Mr. Anderson, and he had to let him receive the punishment he deserved.

"Master Hu, now the Global Circus is the world of the Peng family. You and I are in it, and I just pick up shoes for the Peng family. It's not that much of ambition!"

When he returned to the station, Naduo immediately found Hu Yiqing, the headmaster of the Hu family class. After seeing Hu Yiqing, Naduo did not mention anything about what had just happened, and even hid his right hand in his arms.

"I don't understand. Is the level of my class and your Hu family really that bad?"

Hu Yiqing said: "It's all skills handed down by a ancestor. Who is better than who is better! In my opinion, it's just that with his Peng family. Wu Ye said, besides the flying knife and the bowl, what else does his Peng family have?"

Na Duo sighed and said, "That's right! Can one show be achieved by just two programs? Isn't it still possible to support it by our two? But do you think about it, if the same show is performed, the Peng family will get more money than the two of us will get together. What's the reason!"

Hu Yiqing approached Na Duo a little and whispered: "Fifth Master, why don't we bet on the tickets? Is the old ghost's big disciple? Let's see if his Peng family can still become awesome?"

Na Duo was stunned suddenly, shook his head repeatedly, and said, "It's not appropriate, it's even more inappropriate. Master Hu, you and I are both open and honest heroes, how can you do such a thing?"

Hu Yiqing quickly changed his face and said, "I just said casually. The Fifth Master is right. A real man must be open-minded and honest. This kind of thing is definitely not something you and I can do. But then again, the Fifth Master, are we willing to watch the Peng family riding on our heads to show off our power?"

Naduo said, "That's definitely not possible! I'm asking you for it, isn't I just want to discuss this matter with you?"

Hu Yiqing took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, put a piece of Naduo, took out a match, lit it for Naduo, and said, "The Fifth Master has a solution? Don't worry, all my Hu family members will follow the arrangements of Wu Master."

Na Duo took a few sips, but did not express his thoughts directly. Instead, he shook the foreign cigarette in his hand and spit out a cigarette ring: "This foreigner is much stronger than us, the same tobacco leaves, you see, the cigarette made by foreigners is fragrant!"

Hu Yiqing said: "That's right? There is also this foreign fire. The foreign fire produced by foreigners can be cut in just one stroke. The Qing Dynasty made it ourselves, and it may not be possible to cut it if the pole is cut off."

Na Duo took another sip of cigarette, slowly sprayed out the smoke with his nostrils, and sighed: "But foreigners are also bad-minded. I won't say much before. Just two years ago, eight countries formed a coalition to attack our Qing family, captured the Forbidden City and forced the Laozi away. Not only did they say that they burned our garden and snatched all our palaces. In the end, we have to let our Qing Dynasty pay their money. Master Hu, do you think this is still a law?"

Hu Yiqing echoed, "Where can we make sense? Who can't beat others? Fifth Master, this national affairs are not something we can control. It's better to say less, and to be angry. Let's talk about our own affairs."

Naduo nodded and said, "I have thought about it. I can't stay in this Global Circus anymore. I have to change my place. I don't believe it anymore. Is it the United States of America that only the Global Circus wants to earn money from the Qing Dynasty? Don't other circuses want to make a name for our Qing Dynasty? I want to see if he, Anderson and his son, can still enter the Qing Dynasty without me!"

After a moment of pause, Naduo leaned his body towards Hu Yiqing, lowered his voice, and then said, "I have already written a letter to me, Ama, and asked him to move in the morning. As long as it is the Global Circus's entrustment document, I will not approve any documents."

Although Naduo's father wore a fourth-rank official hat in the court, the official position he occupied was a free job and did not control the customs clearance and trade. However, Naduo was good at boasting and his unruly magnified the origin of their family and the same clan as the Lord Lafayette, and described his father as a court celebrity who could be called brothers and brothers with the Lord of the Central Hall.

Hu Yiqing was just a folk artist. Before coming to the United States, even when he met the seventh-rank county magistrate in the Qing Dynasty, he was frightened and did not dare to say anything more. Therefore, Hu Yiqing believed in Na Duo's boastfulness.

"The next plan for the fifth master is..."

Naduo pinched the cigarette butt, took the last sip, then threw the cigarette butt on the floor, crushed it with his feet, and said, "Captain Hu can tell that there is a Royal Circus in Queens. In terms of scale and fame, it is no worse than the Global Circus."

Hu Yiqing nodded and said, "The Royal Circus is also a top circus, brother, I naturally know."

Na Duo said, "Tell me the truth. When I was discussing with Mr. Anderson, I also had contact with the Royal Circus when I was in the process of joining the gang, and I have not disconnected. Two days ago, I had already let go of the wind and said that my class was not very happy in the Global Circus. Wow, the Royal Circus immediately sent someone to find me. The conditions offered were only higher than this one, not lower than this one!"
