Douluo: Qin Shimingyue system

"Zhao Peng."

When Xia Ranran came to the room with the pungent smell again, she immediately saw Zhao Peng squatting in the corner.

Zhao Peng was holding a water glass and passing it to an elderly man by the wall.

The old man's hand seemed to be injured and he couldn't lift it up, so Zhao Peng fed her some water.

The old man said: "You don't have to take care of me like this. Half of my body is about to be buried. I will only be left for a few days."

Zhao Peng laughed: "No, now we have food and shelter from the wind and rain, so we can survive."

"Yeah," the old man's eyes were a little distracted, "What's the difference between living like this and dying?"

Xia Ranran was about to take a step forward to help the old man take a look at the injury on his arm, when his shoulder was held from behind.

"There's no need to go and see her. Her arm is suffering from neuromuscular atrophy and it's hopeless."

Xia Ranran stopped.

Huo Zhengke walked around Xia Ranran, walked forward, called Zhao Peng, and made a sign to come out.

Zhao Peng said something to the old man, turned around and followed him out.

There was still light in his eyes, "Dr. Wang, what's wrong?"

Xia Ranran couldn't bear it.

Such a pair of bright black eyes, once you hear the real truth...

She didn't want to think about it.

She closed her eyes and then said: "Your sister Zhao Xiao..."

Zhao Peng's upwardly raised lips fell down and he raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong with my sister?"

Xia Ranran pursed her lips tightly, opened her eyes after a moment, and looked at Zhao Peng firmly: "Your sister has passed away."

The dark light in Zhao Peng's eyes just now gradually extinguished in just a moment.

Just like a burning candle, the candle turns to ashes and eventually goes out.

Xia Ranran was thinking about how to explain to Zhao Peng, and even thought that Zhao Peng would be disappointed. Why was her sister dead when she was handed over to her hands?

For the first time, she was prepared when the patient's family complained about her.

She won't defend herself.

However, Zhao Peng did not.

His eyes dimmed, but the corners of his mouth curved upward in a very helpless arc.

"I know."

These three words made not only Xia Ranran but also Huo Zhengke on the side stunned.

The two looked at each other, and in an instant, Xia Ranran understood.

After all, there is a difference between a living person and a corpse that has been dead for many days. They originally considered Zhao Peng himself.

They thought that Zhao Peng had been hit too hard. After all, when people are close to emotional collapse, they will indeed lose control unexpectedly, just like Zhao Peng.

Deep in his mind, there was an illusion that Zhao Xiao was not dead.

As the saying goes, if you think about an illusion a hundred times, it will come true.

No matter what the reality is, Zhao Peng has already recognized such a reality in his heart.

Zhao Peng explained: "Actually, when my sister... died, I knew that I was just...deceiving myself."

He was lying to himself from the beginning.

He was unwilling to accept the truth that she was dead, so he suppressed the truth into his subconscious and hypnotized himself. As long as his sister's body was still beside him, he would feel that she was not dead.

Xia Ranran suddenly thought of a detail.

In such weather, why would a corpse that had been dead for three days not smell rotten...

Although it still has a little flavor, it has been suppressed a lot.

Zhao Peng seemed to understand the meaning in Xia Ranran's eyes, "I put a herbal flower here in her coat pocket to prevent the body from rotting."

Xia Ranran suddenly had a moment where she didn't know what to say.

She was originally full of words to comfort Zhao Peng, but now that Zhao Peng was thinking about it, she didn't know how to speak.

Zhao Peng smiled and looked at Xia Ranran, "Doctor Wang, you don't have to comfort me. I thought about it a long time ago, and I made you carry my sister on your back to walk such a long way. In fact, I also had selfish motives at the time. There was no peaceful space in that place for my sister to rest in peace."

Xia Ranran said: "But I didn't take your sister to the camp either."

She told how the two of them met an uncle on the road.

"Are you free today? I can take you to see it."

After all, it's been so long, and if you can't even visit your sister who has been buried, then...

Zhao Peng nodded: "Okay."

Xia Ranran and Huo Zhengke returned from the field. Huo Zhengke said to Xia Ranran, "I'll take care of Li Qian's place."

Xia Ranran glanced at Huo Zhengke and nodded, "Okay."

She especially took Zhao Peng on another trip to the West District to apply medicine. When she returned, Huo Zhengke had already discussed it with Li Qian.

Xia Ranran didn't know how Huo Zhengke persuaded Li Qianqian to take Zhao Peng with him, nor how Li Qian agreed to visit the red scarf area again. In short, when she took Zhao Peng into the car, , no one raised any objection.

On the way there, Huo Zhengke chatted with Zhao Peng and asked about Zhao Peng's past.

At this time, Xia Ranran also found out that Zhao Peng actually graduated from a military academy and majored in combat.

Zhao Peng said: "Actually, my sister and I both came from the same school. My sister is studying medicine, but...she has not been in good health since she was a child. I was originally assigned and found a special relationship to want to Let my sister stay in the big city to avoid traveling through mountains and rivers and not being accustomed to the acclimatized environment, but..."

Zhao Peng's lips pursed into a straight line, so pale that no trace of blood could be seen.

At this time, there were only Huo Zhengke, Xia Ranran and Song Qian in the car.

Before getting in the car, Song Qian had already heard from Xia Ranran that this was the brother of the dead girl. When she faced this dark-looking man now, she had no discrimination, only sympathy.

Zhao Peng gritted his teeth and said: "She was threatened by the dean of the college. If she did not become his underground lover, her place in the city central hospital would be canceled and she would be sent to a remote place in the countryside. To be a peacekeeping doctor, and then...my sister said no."

In fact, if Zhao Peng could have tried every means to send his sister out when he saw her in this war-torn land, then all the things that happened later would not have happened. , or because...

"It's all because of my incompetence." Zhao Peng lowered his head and fell into deep self-blame. "If her brother had been more capable, he would not have let her be threatened and die in a foreign country..."

Xia Ranran interrupted him.
