Chapter 5 An unexpected journey

I recovered from the memories, stood up, stretched, and looked at my watch. It was a quarter to five. I remembered that there was a blind date arranged by my mother at half past six, so I turned around and started packing my things to get off work on time.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind me. I had something on my mind, and I just wanted to deal with this patient with the routine procedure, so I asked without looking back: "What's wrong?" I didn't want to, but it provoked a sneer:

"Humph, I mean, Little Lizi, you haven't pretended to be deaf in a few years? You can do it, you've been a doctor for two years and you've become so prosperous that you can't even bear to look at your old friend when he comes."

As soon as I heard this weird voice, I knew who it was. So I suppressed my laughter, straightened my face, turned around, punched him first, then rubbed my hands, let him hug me, and gave him the nickname.

The guy with "Ears" sat down on the sofa next to the desk. He looked at his watch and didn't pour him water. Instead, he pointed to the hospital employment certificate hanging on his chest and said: "Stop talking sarcastically, brother."

I stopped calling you 'Longzi' a long time ago. Well, let me remind you again, this is my real name, 'Li Ang'. You can also call me Dr. Li, remember! Speaking of which, you have been missing for a few years, so how can I keep in touch with everyone?

Not yet? I'll take a bite first if I show up suddenly."

This ear, whose name is Chen Erdong, is an old classmate of mine from junior high school to high school. It is said that when he was in high school, he always liked to talk in class, and the class teacher, Mr. Ma, often had to pull his ears to teach him, teasing him that he should grow another pair of ears. He talked less and listened more, so he got the nickname "Ear". His father and my father were old acquaintances when they were educated youths. They had many things in common. For example, they both had children in old age, and both were depressed throughout their lives. We became good at reading, and our unfulfilled wish to get ahead was forcibly delegated to us. We all believed in the educational philosophy that spanking means kissing, scolding, and love. When we were together, we had a lot of material to complain about together. As for me and Er Er, The twisted revolutionary friendship was cultivated from then on. However, unlike his feelings for me, my feelings for him are still a little complicated. Why? For example: When I was in junior high school, I went to the game room to play the Three Kingdoms War, and was beaten by When the gangsters collecting protection fees from No. 3 Middle School got in trouble, he would sneak out of the bathroom in the chaos; during self-study sessions with Mr. Ma in high school, we would skip class and go to the Internet cafe to play World of Warcraft, and he would always leave me and return to the classroom before get out of class; fill in the college entrance examination report He and I were both majoring in science, and our scores were similar, so he "kindly" suggested that I study medicine, and then go to the top major at the time in the same score bracket - economics. We made an appointment to play Dota together in college, and he He told me to buy lunch boxes and not go offline casually, but I would always go to deliver meals, umbrellas and warmth to girls during team battles... However, later he played games too much and was dropped out of the university where he was, so he didn't have the nerve to contact her again. It is said that he re-engaged I took the college entrance examination and passed the normal school, and I can be considered a talented person who died young. To sum up, over the years, maybe I was an out-and-out good friend in his heart. However, in my eyes, his appearance , will only instinctively arouse my vigilance.

"Tell me, what are you doing?" After a brief exchange of greetings, I asked him straight to the point.

"It's nothing. So, did you know that Axia got admitted to the cultural relics office?" I had been very busy after entering the hospital, so of course I didn't know, so I shook my head, looked at my watch again, and continued to ask: "Then

Woolen cloth?"

Then the ears began to talk all over the world, talking about everything from Mo Yan to Quentin Tarantino, from Obama to the raging El Niño, and talking about the training schools he has set up overseas in the past few years.

and irrelevant things. I knew this was his way of asking for help, so I pretended to listen to him, but my mind wandered away, allowing me to think about irrelevant things. But the more I thought about it, the more I discovered that the name Axia

, indeed caused quite a ripple in the depths of my mind.

Axia, I and Er Er were classmates in the first year of high school. In my impression, she was a simple, reserved, pretty, and well-behaved girl, but she had a cold personality and a stubborn temper. According to Er Er, A Xia's mother passed away.

Early, fortunately, her father is a civil servant, and her family is relatively well-off. When she was in junior high school, she was a second-level gymnast, and she won a silver medal with the state team at the Provincial Games. From what I heard, if her breasts hadn't grown too fast after entering high school.

It affects the balance, and there is a chance to advance to the first level. In short, from all aspects, Axia is a girl with good conditions among the few female friends I have. Speaking of it, she actually gets along quite well with me.

I was a girl, and I had a vague feeling that I had a crush on me. When I was in the same class, she always liked to ask me to borrow her math, physics and chemistry notes. However, after Er Er fell in love with her at first sight during military training in high school, he first vowed to pursue her, and Er Er's mathematics

She was always better than me in physics and physics, so I had no choice but to bury the feeling of little deer bumping into her at the beginning and let time fade away.

After the classes were divided, Axia chose liberal arts, while Erduo and I continued to study science. The college entrance examination was also a fate, but Axia, who had excellent grades, was transferred to the history department of our university because of a mistake in filling out the application form, and became an alumnus of my university again.

.Although we both joined the club, the medical department was very heavy with studies, so I had almost no time for club activities, so naturally I didn’t have much interaction with her. Now that I think about it, there are many socialites in college who are good at makeup and dressing up. In contrast, she is naturally beautiful.

Axia, who is conservative and low-key by nature, seems much more ordinary. I can't think of any other unforgettable memories about her. There is only one thing, learning to drive with her, which left a particularly deep impression on me.

It was during my sophomore year. The coach we followed was called Wang Bin, a coward in his early forties. He had two fellow villagers in the driving school, one named Wang Jun and the other named Wang Ying, both of whom were younger than him.

But they are all older than him, often boss him around, and they all have an affair with his wife. Wang Bin and the students all know this. However, he has just become a coach, and the students need to be introduced by two people. The relationship between the examiners also requires the two to get through.

They don’t want to be enterprising and don’t know how to learn, so they have no choice but to coerce others. As for me and Axia, who are stereotyped college students who have no oil, no social resources, and can’t even drink or sleep with them, Wang Jun and Wang Ying will naturally look down on them.

, and dumped them all to Wang Bin.

Anyone who learns to drive a driver's license and passes the subject three usually has to go out with the instructor to practice driving. Along the way, the instructor's expenses such as tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, food, accommodation, oil, and water are basically shared by several students in the same car.

, these are obvious unspoken rules. However, our car is even worse, because the coach Wang Bin is the younger brother of Wang Jun and Wang Ying. So we basically don’t have our own training plan, and we follow the two kings’ car in everything.

, even the bus route must refer to Er Wang’s student preferences. This is not over yet. In addition to the daily carpooling expenses, students in our car will also have to give Er Wang an extra portion of cigarettes; for meals, they must arrive at the agreed hotel in advance.

Order good food for the people in the Erwang car; for accommodation, you should also go to the agreed hotel in advance to book rooms for the people in the Erwang car, and set up the card table... At the end of the day, the time for actual driving practice on the road is very few. So together we

Several students who signed up for driving lessons went directly to the driving school to make trouble and switched to other driving schools. I originally wanted to change my car, so I discussed it with Axia, but she disagreed and said frankly: "The world is as dark as crows." I wanted to return the money again, but

I also felt that it was inappropriate to leave Axia and run away alone, so I had to let her do it.

In the blink of an eye, I was told by the messenger bird Wang Bin to run a long distance again, so Axia and I had to take two buses early to get to the driving school. This time, Wang Ying had a few new princesses with heavy makeup on the bus, so he naturally wanted to show off his ability to teach his daughter.

So he suggested to Wang Jun and Wang Bin: "It's still the same route as last time. How about trying something new? This time, the food and lodging expenses will be paid by the first bus to arrive. In the end,

Is there a double fare for the car that arrives?" This pervert must be trying to help a few princesses save some money by paying off his service fee at night, I thought to myself.

Wang Jun is the oldest, and he is a bit clever. The students in the car have been practicing for a while, and they think they will definitely not be at the bottom. Of course, they are willing to give Wang Ying a favor. It is just a pain for Wang Bin, this guy.

We have no right to speak at all, no experience, and no knowledge of routines. We are constantly scolding us in front of and behind us. Now, naturally, we have to bear the responsibility for this. After the three people made plans, Wang Jun and Wang Ying

They each directed the trainees to start the train first to get a head start. When Xiao Wu, a working girl from the trainee group in the same bus, saw this, she immediately felt a stomachache. The courier Xiao Gao also cooperated and got out of the car to take her to the hospital. Suddenly I was the only trainee left.

I was sitting with Axia who was sitting in the driver's seat, and Wang Bin, an idiot, was still thinking about making a phone call to find some new students to temporarily support him. I was just thinking about how to take Axia out, and suddenly my body leaned back.

Being pinned to the seat by a huge inertia——

Axia, this girl, actually stepped on the accelerator to the bottom without saying a word, and rushed straight out of the driving school gate!

Half an hour later, Shilipu.

Wang Bin rolled down the window and took a long time to light a cigarette with trembling hands. He tried to put it into his mouth, but he took it upside down. He jumped up because of the burn, and his head hit the roof of the car hard, causing him to stumble quickly in pain.

I got out of the car and sat down on the roadside.

My situation is slightly better than this funny coach, but my legs can't help but still tremble. Along the way just now, Axia's speed was basically maintained at 70 to 80 kilometers per hour, which was not good for beginners like us at that time.

For a scholar, the speed is absolutely uncontrollable. Several times I felt that I almost collided with the car on the opposite side or next to me, but in the end I just missed it. I glanced at Axia, she was still as pure and pure as usual.

, no makeup, a pair of beautiful eyes, bright and beautiful. When she saw me looking at her, she also looked over, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled with hidden teeth. There was a little more playful and uninhibited in her beauty. In an instant, I suddenly

I feel that that smart and charming little face looks very much like the screen goddess Audrey Hepburn in the black and white films of the last century.

Axia has been fond of wearing a simple single ponytail since high school, and she still loved this lean hairstyle in college. I saw her habitually retying her ponytail and generously unscrewing the mineral water I handed her.

, took a gentle sip, letting the water moisturize his lips and throat, bulging his sweet dimples, and showing a relaxed smile. Five minutes later, Wang Jun and Wang Ying's car arrived at the roadside water filling station. If only

Normally, the two of them would smoke a cigarette, brag, and flirt with the students; this time, they were not so calm. They only hurriedly let the anxious students go to the toilet, and then immediately shouted for someone to change and drove away. Somehow,

Seeing their panicked expressions, I felt a sudden joy in my chest.

I tentatively wanted to play a part in Axia's place, but was rejected, so I didn't mention it again. I have known her for so many years, and I know how different her temperament is from her pretty and sweet appearance, so I had to let her. Twenty minutes later, we

We passed Wang Ying's car on the road, and after another five minutes, we caught up with Wang Jun's car. Then, at the next water filling station, we waited leisurely in front of them, watching them hurriedly relieve themselves and get on the road.

, and then waited until they were far away before setting off to catch up with them.

In this way, we kept chasing each other all the way, and our car was still the first destination we arrived at. From that time on, Wang Ying and Wang Jun no longer drove long distances with our car.

I later found out that because Axia’s father was a driver for his company, he often took her to find free places to practice driving whenever he had time. Before enrolling in driving school, she had actually driven more than 3,000 kilometers with her father, doing various

I have memorized the way to go on the road. Driving on a secondary road like this, which requires frequent overtaking and yielding, is not just a piece of cake. In my opinion, the most bizarre thing about Axia’s behavior is that she clearly has the chance to win, but she just doesn’t want to.

Let your opponent continue to see hope that beats you, and then destroy and destroy your opponent's self-confidence again and again. This method is very effective for gamblers. And gamblers in life will naturally lose to a certain extent.

It can make him doubt life obediently.

Well done!

I don’t know if this incident boosted our morale. Later, during the road test, Axia and I overcame all kinds of difficulties from the examiner who accepted Wang Jun and Wang Ying’s money and successfully passed the driving license test. Wang Ying went to school in the car.

The princess, who was not good at art, directly took the bribed examiner and drove the examination car into the ditch on the roadside.

On the day we got our driver's licenses, Wang Bin politely drove us to the school to pick us up and take us to the driving school to collect our licenses. When we turned around and changed lanes on the road, we didn't look at the traffic lights and almost collided with a speeding off-road vehicle. We were so frightened that the oncoming vehicle swerved to avoid it.

The car overturned! The car owner also had a bad temper. He turned around, kicked the accelerator, caught up with our coach, blocked the car in front of us, jumped out of the car and angrily scolded us for driving the car, and then asked us fiercely who was the coach.

When Wang Bin, a coward, saw this situation, he was so frightened that he left his body. He quickly nodded and bowed his head and apologized. Then this guy suddenly had a sudden idea and suddenly grabbed me who was sitting in the passenger seat and pointed at me calmly.

Said: "He is the coach, he is the coach!"

I was stunned for a moment, but I reacted immediately. I immediately glared and darkened my face. I picked up a thick pile of newspapers that were given when I put oil in the plastic shelf next to the car door and rolled them into a solid paper stick.

, rounded his forearm, and hit Wang Bin's round, bald head hard! While beating, he imitated the coaches' usual behavior and yelled: "Silly X, how did I teach you? I don't understand.

Turn to let you go straight? Did you get a blank on the subject? Make you turn around without looking at the car! Make you turn around without looking at the lights..." Although Wang Bin's face was slightly stunned, he had no choice but to cooperate and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes

..." When the off-road vehicle driver saw that Wang Bin was really beaten, most of his anger disappeared. He cursed a few times and went back. I was feeling happy in my heart, but I didn't know that this impromptu performance of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai would have made me happy.

Axia, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help but laugh. Before she could reach out her delicate hands to cover her small cherry mouth, she was already laughing so hard that her branches were trembling and her jade teeth were lightly folded...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. But my ears thought that I was finally moved by his story of entrepreneurship with great suffering and hatred, so I immediately curbed his exaggerated acting skills and got to the point:

In short, Erduo met Axia while distributing flyers one day. After graduating from graduate school, he was admitted to work in the Cultural Relics Management Office of Nanhua City. After learning that Axia was still single, Erduo decided to pursue her again. And now the opportunity has come: Axia

The working group I worked for was going to do excavation and inspection in a mountainous area in the hinterland of the Hengduan Mountains 300 kilometers away recently. He boasted about meeting various professionals in Haikou, and the honest and simple Axia sincerely asked for help.

I remembered that when I asked Mr. Ma, the high school teacher, to help promote the cram school, he learned that I was working as a doctor in the Second City Hospital. Therefore, he came to me, a professional who had been cheated, to seek help.

I'm going!

After getting a negative answer from me, his ears were still bothering him. Although he was finally kicked out of the office by me after I repeatedly ordered him to be kicked out, he still squeezed his head in and asked me to listen to his last two sentences:

"Brother, be reasonable! Brother, I have made money now. If you ask for leave, I will replenish you three times the lost wages." Seeing that I ignored him, he rolled his eyes and said, "There won't be any danger. At most, we'll deal with it."

Sprained feet and bruises are not a small case for you, brother. Besides, didn't you just say that you have been working overtime for a month without a break? Just in time, come and take a trip to relax! And, you

Aren’t you always saying that one of your biggest regrets in college is that you owe A-Xia a mountain hike? It just makes up for it! Think about it again...remember to call me...the one on my business card..."

The words made me feel a little itchy again.

Alas, I sighed. Do I owe her a trip? What a fucking reason! It wasn’t because I was instigated to study medicine by my ears. When Axia graduated, we had only completed half of the courses in the medical department.

It happened that the college was conducting a joint internship, so I was temporarily seconded to the school-affiliated hospital to help. There were so many chores, and when I got busy, I forgot to inform Axia, and I only let her go during the graduation outing of the Travel Club. Later, I met her by chance on the road.

, she always deliberately turned her back as if she didn't see me, and then she stopped talking to me until she graduated, and then we lost contact... I just don't know if she still remembers this grudge.

So, just like that, holding the business card in my ear, I wandered around the ten-square-meter office until 5:40, when I finally picked up the phone.

"Mom, the director temporarily arranged for me to perform an operation on the patient...it will be over soon...I can only ask you to inform the sixth aunt's neighbor's girl that the meeting at six o'clock tonight is cancelled...I know...please excuse me, old man.
To be continued...
