Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 287 is an old tortoise!
On the way, Qin Hengzhi turned to look at Lu Qiaoge, his eyes smiling, and said, "You deserve great credit for retrieving the national treasure this time. The higher-ups have decided to give you a reward of three thousand yuan and a certificate of merit from the Beidu Museum. I'm here to escort the national treasure, and I'll bring the money and the certificate back to you when I get back."

Lu Qiaoge was immediately overjoyed.

Three thousand yuan is a huge sum of money.

My somewhat deflated wallet started to bulge again.

Because it was close by, we arrived at the hospital quickly.

We also saw Sun Ziliang, who had just settled in and was going to the mailroom to familiarize himself with the work environment.

The vice president and Qin Hengzhi were talking outside. After all, this was someone from the military representative office, so it wouldn't be a problem to send someone to the hospital, especially since this person was a staff member with a formal position.

Qin Hengzhi didn't know what Lu Qiaoge wanted this dubious doctor for, but she had her reasons for being so certain.

Now it's time to say something to Sun Ziliang.

Qin Hengzhi didn't ask Lu Qiaoge, but he had already guessed most of it in his mind.

Sure enough, Lu Qiaoge told him, "Someone asked me to ask Grandpa Sun about something."

Qin Hengzhi said, "Okay, we'll wait for you outside."

Sun Ziliang looked Lu Qiaoge up and down, feeling puzzled. But having a worker's job was good enough. He was getting old and had lost his drive. He could just drift along, but without money, what was the point?

Unexpectedly, the Jiangcheng military factory sent someone to find him and gave him a worker quota. The young soldier who picked him up didn't say anything else, but kindly helped him pack his things and complete the formalities. Then, he came to Jiangcheng by train, freight car, and truck.

As the train passed through Beidu, he looked at the station. It seemed unchanged, yet there were still changes.

Once he arrived in Jiangcheng, completed the formalities, was given a dormitory and luggage, and received a work permit, he finally felt at ease.

He knew someone would come looking for her. He thought it would be the young soldier's superior, but to his surprise, Representative Qin and the vice president didn't come in. Instead, a young girl entered the mailroom.

Lu Qiaoge had just asked Qin Hengzhi on the way how he managed to pick up the person.

Qin Hengzhi casually remarked that it was done according to procedure.

Following the procedure, this should also be fraught with difficulties.

Lu Qiaoge was a little puzzled. Did Qin Hengzhi trust her too much, without even asking why?

All thoughts vanished in an instant. Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "Hello, Grandpa Sun. I am Lu Qiaoge from Xiangyang Subdistrict Office. I was asked by a friend to inquire about two people."

A good friend doesn't necessarily have to be a person; it could also be an animal.

But Sun Ziliang couldn't understand this.

Sun Ziliang looked weathered. The old turtle said he was 65 years old this year, but looked like he was over 70, but his health was actually still good.

He frowned: "If he wanted to ask about someone, that young soldier could have just asked me directly. Why did he have to bring me all the way to Jiangcheng?"

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "Isn't Jiangcheng good? Isn't the military factory good? I've given you all my seniority. You can retire after working here for a year."

Sun Ziliang choked.

He squinted at Lu Qiaoge, thought about it carefully, and decided that since he was already here, there was no need to say anything pretentious. So he asked bluntly, "Who do you want to ask about?"

"I know that Grandpa Sun, your master's surname is Jiang, and I also know that forty years ago you came to Jiangcheng with your master to visit a Taoist priest named Lingxuzi. What I want to ask is, do you know where Lingxuzi is, or do you still have contact with your master?"

Sun Ziliang was stunned. He looked at the girl in front of him with disbelief. How could she know that his master's surname was Jiang? When he followed his master, he even kept it a secret from his family, let alone when he and his master came to Jiangcheng to see Ling Xuzi.

"Ah, Master, Ling Xuzi..." Sun Ziliang's expression changed instantly. He glanced at the door; the mailroom door was ajar. He knew Representative Qin and the Vice Dean were in the corridor outside, but not nearby. Nevertheless, he lowered his voice: "You... who is that friend of yours?"

Lu Qiaoge: "Of course I know these two. I just want to know their whereabouts, but if it's inconvenient, then never mind."

Lu Qiaoge didn't force him; if he knew, she would know sooner or later.

After a long silence in the mailroom, Sun Ziliang finally said, "They're all alive!"

Lu Qiaoge breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that she was alive.

This way, we can give the old turtle an explanation.

Sun Ziliang thought to himself.

Ling Xuzi entered the mortal world and joined the ranks. After the founding of the nation, for some reasons, he did not return to Jiangcheng but stayed in Beidu, choosing to become an ordinary worker. His master, because of something unpleasant, also chose to become an ordinary worker.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal, but somehow, people found out about this relationship and forced him to do it. Naturally, he wouldn't expose Ling Xuzi's identity or treat his master that way.

So he severed ties with his family. Although he had no evidence, he knew the prime suspects were his brother and that vicious woman.

All of that is in the past; he rarely thinks about it anymore. As long as he's alive, that's enough.

I never expected that someone would ask about these two people so much today.

I haven't seen him for many years, but I contacted him last month. He's gotten old, but he's very optimistic. He doesn't know why Lingxu didn't choose to return to the Taoist temple after liberation.

But actually, returning to Daoguan might not be better than the present situation.

The old man is still able to farm and has a retirement pension, so he's doing quite well.

Master has no family, but he has saved many people. Now he lives in a nursing home in Northwest China. His health is not good, also because of his old age. Now fewer people care about these two people, and he has been living a peaceful life for a few years.

But unexpectedly, there were still people who cared about them.

Sun Ziliang couldn't help but ask, "Comrade Xiao Lu, can you tell me who your friend is? Just tell me if that person is male or female, old or young."

Lu Qiaoge really wanted to say: It's an old tortoise!
The key question is, can you, an elderly person, believe it?

If the person in front of you is Lingxu, you might be able to believe him.

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "You may know in the future, but what I want to know now is whether you still have the skills. If you do, I have a few prescriptions. I also have three patients, two paralyzed and one with dementia. Shall we give it a try?"

Old Sun was sitting in a chair, but sat down again when he was surprised. Now he stood up again. If he hadn't seen so much over the years, he might have lost his composure.

But it wasn't much better!

What do you mean by two paralyzed people and one mentally disabled person? Even if I were a god, I might not have that ability.

Besides, I have the skills, so I can't just say it's okay.

Lu Qiaoge felt that if she went along, things might work out.

Let's try it on Aunt Si first, or maybe we can test it on Old Gu from the research institute first.
Sun Ziliang stammered, "You... what else do you know?"

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "How about this, I'll write you a prescription and acupuncture method first. It's for treating paralyzed patients, of course, referring to those with a high chance of recovery. Please take a look first and then we'll talk."
