GHLCS Chapter7

When Gu Fangfei saw Duan Yelin leaving, she also wanted to leave. However, just as she stood up, she heard a commotion on the stage. She pushed through the crowd and looked inside, and saw the green-robed woman struggling on the ground.

 

“Help… help me…” That green-robed woman grabbed Gu Fangfei’s hand fiercely, her face grim, and she managed to say these words with great difficulty. Gu Fangfei calmed her down and shouted, “Who, who will go invite the physician?!”

 

At this time, the troupe’s owner rushed out from backstage to take a look. After taking a look, he was no longer so worried. He was even very impatient: “Losing money b*tch, you b*tch, you are sick again!”

 

These words hurt Gu Fangfei’s ears, but she didn’t get angry at the moment. She just said to the owner, “Are you the owner? What are you still standing there for? Send her to get a check up ah!”

 

The troupe’s owner took a look, snorted, fished in his sleeves for a while and took out a few copper coins, tossed them to the junior beside him: “Go to the medical store and get some antipyretic medicine.” Then he instructed Zhang Sheng and the matchmaker, “Go to the back and have a rest.”

 

The two were about to take action when they were stopped by Gu Fangfei: “She is obviously seriously ill, how can you just give her a random medicine?”

 

The troupe’s owner saw that Gu Fangfei was of high status, so he became more submissive and said, “Aiyo, Miss, we are all low-class actors here, we are strong and will not die! Besides, even if we send the performers to a medical store, no physician will be willing to treat her either. Just let her take some medicine and leave it to fate!”

 

Gu Fangfei hated such talk the most in her life, and her face immediately turned stern: “Women are also human beings, the performers are also human beings, and you are the owner of the troupe. If the physician is unwilling to treat her, she should be sent to the hospital!”

 

“Hospital? Auntie, please forgive us. If we go to the hospital, our troupe’s performances for the past month will be in vain! We can’t let the entire Baihua Yuan starve just for her!”

 

With a snap, Gu Fangfei pulled out a stack of gold yuan notes from her bag and slapped them on the owner’s face, indignantly saying, “I’ll pay for it, and I’ll redeem this person too. Send her to the hospital right now!”

 

The owner hadn’t recovered from the pile of money yet. He was squatting there picking it up when he heard the ‘matchmaker’ crying, “Oh, sister… sister is dead…”

 

Everyone was shocked and took several steps back, feeling that it was very unlucky. She’s dead?

 

The owner rushed over in two steps, fearing that the money he had earned would fly away. Gu Fangfei was heartbroken and also went forward to check.

 

The green-robed woman had indeed rolled her eyes. This might not be good!

 

At this moment, a pair of bony hands pushed away the crying matchmaker, squatted in front of the green-robed woman, held her wrist, felt her pulse carefully, then used two fingers to check her swollen face and pried open her mouth for a closer look.

 

The owner saw it and asked, “What are you doing?”

 

Xu Hang did not answer him but took off the thin hairpin on the green-robed woman’s head and said, “Bring wine and fire.” The matchmaker was stunned for a moment, and Xu Hang shouted, “Go quickly!”

 

The matchmaker woke up as if from a dream, wiped away her tears and snot, and ran away in small steps.

 

Immediately, wine and fire were served. Xu Hang washed the hairpin with wine to quench the fire, then pierced the tip of the green-robed woman’s ear and squeezed out two or three drops of blood.

 

It was really strange. After the poisonous blood was released, the green-robed woman’s complexion suddenly improved. She suddenly coughed, and then her breathing gradually became normal.

 

Xu Hang added, “Go to the kitchen and make a pot of water with the pepper.”

 

Immediately, a waiter ran to the kitchen and brought it along with a bowl of rice. Xu Hang took it and wiped the green-robed woman’s red and swollen face with a handkerchief dipped in pepper water.

 

Gu Fangfei saw Xu Hang pouring in like a gentle breeze amidst the chaos. His hands moved skillfully, and his face was calm. He treated the opera actress without any perfunctoriness. Even when the patient’s saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth and stained his sleeves, he didn’t seem to mind at all.

 

He is like a skilled painter, painting a landscape with confidence and calmness.

 

She looked outside the crowd and saw Duan Yelin not far away. He was leaning against the wall, staring at Xu Hang through the crowd without blinking, his eyes deep and long.

 

Xu Hang wiped and washed and then wiped again. After repeating this several times, the redness and swelling subsided a lot, and the green-robed woman finally opened her eyes slowly.

 

“She’s alive, she’s alive, she’s awake! She’s awake!” Everyone clapped in amazement.

 

The green-robed woman was helped up by the matchmaker, rubbing her temples. After listening to the matchmaker’s sobbing words, she nodded to Xu Hang and said, “Thank you… Physician. I have been very careful about my illness in the past, but today… I got into trouble again.”

 

Xu Hang had already stood up and used another handkerchief to cover his hand, saying lightly, “Your hay fever is quite severe. Now that spring has arrived, it is naturally difficult to prevent. Prescribe a base of fangfeng, bupleurum, ebony, and schisandra, plus forsythia, honeysuckle, licorice, and dandelion. Just drink a few more doses, and you’ll be fine.”

 

After saying that, he coldly looked at the owner who was standing by with his neck stretched out, then turned back to the green-robed woman and said, “Other medical stores won’t accept you, but Heming Medical Hall will. Other physicians won’t treat you, but Heming Medical Hall will.”

 

After all the chaos, someone finally recognized that this was the boss of Heming Medical Hall, and they couldn’t help but admire him even more.

 

Everyone knew that what he said was a slap in the face to the owner, and they all secretly felt happy.

 

The old owner was a little embarrassed. He waved his hands and muttered, “How could pollen blow in from nowhere in such a good opera theater? What a shame!”

 

The junior beside him sniffed and said, “En, it seems to be the scent of peony flowers…”

 

The show is over.

 

After leaving the opera theater, the Ford car at the door was already waiting impatiently, beeping twice. Xu Hang lowered his eyes, opened the door, and got in.

 

As soon as he sat down, Duan Yelin grabbed his waist and pressed him against his chest. Duan Yelin whispered in Xu Hang’s ear in a seductive voice: “Don’t forget what you said. I allowed you to save people, and I have the final say on the rest.”

 

Xu Hang’s fingertips pinched the back of Duan Yelin’s hand, and after a long while, he responded softly, “En.”

 

“Xiaotong Guan or Jinyan Tang?”

 

Xu Hang glanced at Qiao Song who was sitting in the driver’s seat. Qiao Song felt the thorns in his back and could only stare at the front and drive, pretending to be deaf.

 

“…Xiaotong Guan”

 

In fact, Xu Hang was not looking at Qiao Song but at the rearview mirror. The rearview mirror reflected the entrance of the opera theater of Baihua Troupe, where Gu Fangfei was standing there thoughtfully, watching their car go farther and farther away.

 

————

 

That night, Duan Yelin almost tortured Xu Hang to death. It was both cruel and brutal that Xu Hang actually bit a hole in the bed sheet.

 

After twelve o’clock, when Xu Hang was pressed on the windowsill, he looked at the light coming out of the window of the cigarette factory opposite. The light bulb was probably a bit old, and it flickers from time to time. When Xu Hang endured the waves brought to him by Duan Yelin, he felt that he was like that lamp, which would neither be on nor off.

 

All ten fingers were tightly gripping the windowsill, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. His back was bent like an arch, Duan Yelin’s sweat sliding down his tortuous back and disappearing along the crotch.

 

Finally, the light went out. Xu Hang felt that he had finally made it, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

 

Duan Yelin felt the person in his arms soften and quickly grabbed him, as soon as he looked, he was already fainted. He sighed slightly, picked him up by the waist, and walked to the bathroom.

 

It is Duan Yelin’s habit to take a bath after each session.

 

Because he knew Xu Hang really wanted to wash himself, but he never showed it. He would wait until Duan Yelin left before he could not wait to take a shower. So Duan Yelin simply took the trouble to help him wash, no matter how tired or late it was.

 

In the warm water, he washed every part of Xu Hang’s body, but the cleaner it was, the dirtier he wanted to make it.

 

Just like four years ago when he gave the best piece of land in Hezhou City to Jin Hongchang and told him that Xu Hang was his and no one was allowed to touch him—

 

That was the first time in his life that he openly abused his power for personal gain; later, he killed Jin Hongchang for Xu Hang, which was also the first time he abused his power of life and death in his life.

 

Ai… Duan Yelin kissed Xu Hang’s wet hair. He really felt that it was just like what was written in Romance of the West Chamber, just like the enemies from previous lives met in this life.
