The Young Master of the Coal Miner

Chapter 47

The city of Suzhou is crisscrossed with ravines, and there are rivers at the doorstep of almost every house. Drinking water, cooking, washing and sewage are all in the same river.Such water is naturally prone to infection with germs.

Seeing Mrs. He crying sadly, Young Master He hugged his mother's shoulder comfortingly and patted her.

Thinking of the situation in Suzhou City and his grandfather's illness, He Wenyan was also frowning, and decided to go to Suzhou City after much deliberation.

Hearing her son's decision, Mrs. He took He Wenyan's hand and said worriedly: "You have just cured the common people in Jinning, and you are going to Suzhou again. The cholera there is ten times worse than Jinning's."

"Mother, I am a doctor. If I also stand by and watch. What will you ask the people in Suzhou City to do? What will you ask my grandfather to do?"

Since Young Master He has made a decision with determination, he must carry it out to the end.

Mrs. He looked at the eldest son with firm eyes in front of her, and thought of her father who was far away in Suzhou and was still seriously ill.

One side is the son who gave birth to him, and the other side is the father who gave birth to him.

At this moment, Mrs. He was tangled in her heart, and finally she sighed, lowered her head, and said softly to He Wenyan: "Go there, but you must come back safely!"

The so-called son travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried, He Wenyan insists on going to Suzhou, where the cholera epidemic is dangerous, how can Mrs. He rest assured?

On the same day, Mrs. He went up the mountain to Qixia Temple to ask for a peace talisman for her eldest son.

Knowing that He Wenyan was going to Suzhou, Master He was a little silent. He rented two carriages on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway for his son, and ordered people to move all the medical equipment from the Western Medicine Hospital into the train carriages.

After Mrs. He learned about the cholera in Suzhou City, he also proposed to go to Suzhou with He Wenyan.

But young master He looked at the gray-haired old grandfather in front of him, and still refused: "Grandpa, you should stay in Jinning. The train travels a long distance. If you also fall ill, the family will only be more worried."

Although Mrs. He was very helpless, she also knew that the elder grandson felt sorry for him, so he recorded all the prescriptions for treating cholera that he and Dr. Zheng had developed in a book, and brought all the medicinal materials in his own medical center to He Wenyan. Take it to Suzhou.

For the trip to Suzhou, He Wenyan only planned to bring all the nurses and Shen Wenbin in the western medicine hospital.

This made Boss Xue, who was finally informed of the incident, very annoyed. It was rare for him to lose his temper in front of Young Master He.

He Wenyan looked at Xue Lin, who had a dark face and said nothing, and felt a little guilty.

With a flattering smile on his face, he stretched out his finger to hook Xue Lin's big hand, trying to act like a baby to him.

In the end, he was ruthlessly thrown away by Boss Xue. Young Master He looked down at his hand that was thrown away, and the circles of his eyes began to turn red with grievance.

Seeing that He Wenyan hadn't moved, Xue Lin, who was still sulking, quickly turned his head and found that Young Master He was crying silently.

The one who should be angry is obviously himself, but he started to cry first!

When Boss Xue saw Young Master He crying, he didn't care about being sullen, and immediately stepped forward to coax him softly: "It's so good, why are you crying?"

He reached out his hand to wipe away He Wenyan's tears, but he was afraid that his clumsy hands would hurt him.

Young Master He stared straight at Boss Xue with red eyes, without saying a word, and stretched out the hand that he had just thrown away in front of Xue Lin again.

Boss Xue and Young Master He looked at each other, Young Master Jiao blinked at him, Xue Lin immediately wrapped his hand into his palm and held him gently.

Feeling the warmth of Xue Lin's palm, He Wenyan still had tears in the corners of his eyes, but the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

"You're going to Suzhou, why don't you take me with you?"

Boss Xue is still brooding over the fact that Young Master He went to Suzhou but didn't take him with him.

He Wenyan leaned his head on his shoulder, and said softly, "Cholera is dangerous in Suzhou, I don't want you to risk it because of me."

"Besides, only if you all stay in Jinning safely, can I go and come back with peace of mind."

Hearing this, Xue Lin didn't speak for a long time. He turned his head and stroked He Wenyan's soft hair, and wrapped his other hand tightly around the little hand in his palm.After a long time, a word came out:

"Then you must come back quickly and come back safely."

-

At the Jinning City Railway Station, the He family and Boss Xue came to He Wenyan to see him off.

"Yan'er, you must take the amulet that mother begged for you with you." Mrs. He couldn't help but think about it before the train left.

"If you need anything, you must write a letter or send a telegram to your family." This is Master He.

"Brother, come back early!" The child He Wenyang also had tears of reluctance in his eyes, and he waved vigorously at He Wenyan.

Young Master He was told by his family members one by one, his eyes followed the family members who were seeing off one by one, and landed on Xue Lin who was at the end of the line.

Boss Xue kept looking at He Wenyan silently, and finally stepped forward to hug him in his arms.

The two stood on the platform where people came and went, stood under the eyes of relatives and friends, and hugged each other tightly.

It wasn't until the whistle sounded that the train was about to leave that the two slowly separated.

Young Master He raised his head to look at his lover, Xue Lin's eyes were already red, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Go to the meeting early, I will wait for you here."

He Wenyan also nodded with moist eye circles.

He turned around, Ming Lan and Shen Wenbin were waiting for him in the carriage.

He Wenyan took a few steps forward with his legs open, and just stepped into the carriage with one foot, when he suddenly paused, he turned his head and glanced again, Xue Lin's eyes followed him all the time.

Young Master He couldn't hold back the reluctance in his heart any longer, and rushed to Boss Xue desperately, stood on tiptoe, brought his lips to his lips, and kissed him lightly.

The conductor had already started to urge pedestrians on the platform to get on the train quickly, so Young Master He and Boss Xue separated in a hurry.

As the train started to move, He Wenyan stood in front of the window, looking at his relatives through the narrow window, seeing the familiar figure gradually disappear as the window moved.

Minglan walked to Doctor He's side, grabbed his shoulders, and comforted him: "Doctor He, don't be sad, maybe we will be back in a few days."

He Wenyan lowered his eyes and nodded.

The train traveled southeast along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, passing through Runzhou, Longcheng, and Liangxi, and finally arrived at Suzhou City.

The situation in Suzhou City was even worse than He Wenyan imagined.

It turned out that the officials found that the people did not fetch water from outside the city according to the regulations, so they sent people to check the water quality of each tiger stove. If the water quality was found to be poor, they were not allowed to sell it.

As a result, the law enforcement methods of the police below were too tough, which was dissatisfied by the merchants.

The Laohuzao merchants in the entire Suzhou City went on strike collectively, and the people in the city were unable to drink boiled water for several days.

Master Fu sent his servants to pick up He Wenyan and his party at the train station, and dragged the medical equipment from the train to Fu's shop.

"Master He."

The person who came was the big housekeeper of the Fu family, and when he saw He Wenyan, he first bowed and said hello.

"Butler Fu, how is my grandfather doing now?"

As soon as he saw someone, He Wenyan first asked Mrs. Fu about his situation.

"It's still the same."

Steward Fu sighed, and said: "Master originally hired a doctor for the old man, but you also know that the city of Suzhou is full of patients now, and the doctor has no time to come after seeing him once or twice. Now I can only take the The prescription prescribed by the doctor earlier will be treated by the old man."

A group of people got into the carriage again, and the carriage hurriedly arrived at Fu's residence.

Master Fu was waiting for his eldest nephew at the gate of the house early, and burst into tears when he saw He Wenyan.

"Yan'er." Master Fu held his nephew's hand and said excitedly, "I didn't expect you to come to Suzhou."

Yesterday, Master Fu was very surprised when he received his sister's reply.He never expected that when the cholera in Suzhou was at its worst, He Wenyan would propose to come to Suzhou.

"My grandfather is critically ill now. As a doctor, I always come to see him." Seeing that there was only Master Fu in the main hall, He Wenyan asked, "Uncle, how are the rest of the family doing?"

"Everyone is fine." Master Fu paused, "It's just that your Aunt Yu is pregnant."

Ruoyun's pregnancy was unlucky, and it was discovered that she was pregnant. Cholera broke out in Suzhou City, and Mrs. Fu also fell ill.

Li was originally targeting Ruoyun, but after knowing that she was pregnant with a child, she hated her even more. He pointed at Ruoyun's pregnant belly and cursed the disaster star, saying that this child caused the plague.

Thinking of this, Master Fu couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing that other people were not infected, He Wenyan's heart was on Mrs. Fu.He asked Mr. Fu to lead him to see Mrs. Fu who was seriously ill.

Coming to Mrs. Fu's bedroom, He Wenyan soon found that the doors and windows of the room were tightly closed.

"These windows should be opened for ventilation." Dr. He frowned, pointing to the locked windows, "There is no sunlight or fresh air in the room."

Master Fu also noticed the clue, and asked the big housekeeper, "Who told them to seal the window of the old man?"

Steward Fu's brow was sweating, and he quickly bent over and bowed: "Madam asked the servant to seal it."

"This poisonous woman, is she trying to smother my father to death?" Master Fu raised his eyebrows in anger.

"Madam said, it's because I'm afraid that the old man's illness will spread." Butler Fu bowed even lower.

"This disease cannot be transmitted through the air." He Wenyan explained, "Let someone open all the windows."

"Yes, Master Biao. I will open all the windows now." Butler Fu hurriedly asked his servants to open the windows.

In the room, Mr. Fu was lying on the bed, his face was gray and haggard, and his white and mottled hair was now as white as frost and snow.

"Grandfather."

He Wenyan walked quickly to Mrs. Fu's bed, and seeing the dying old man on the bed, two lines of tears flowed down both sides of his cheeks.

Hearing his grandson's voice suddenly, Mr. Fu thought he was dreaming.

He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and when he saw He Wenyan, tears overflowed from the old man's sunken eye sockets, and the corners of his stiff mouth slowly curled up.

He wanted to reach out to hold his eldest grandson, but thinking of his own illness, he turned his fingers to the open door again, wanting He Wenyan to leave immediately.

He Wenyan shook his head, the tears on his face dripped onto Old Master Fu's quilt, leaving dark water marks.

"Yan'er will definitely cure my grandfather."
