In midsummer, even at night, it is hot everywhere.


    The residual temperature of the earth still roasts people.


    Gu Qingzhou''s temples have been wet with sweat, and her hair has been smoothed to the left.


    She sat in an ice cream shop with Si Xingyu. She dug ice cream with a silver spoon and ate it: "in summer, I envy your short hair."


    "Didn''t you say no cutting?" The Secretary smiled, then dug a big spoon and swallowed it.


    Gu Qingzhou said, "if you eat slowly, your stomach will feel bad for a while."


    "Even if I eat Shi, my stomach doesn''t feel bad." It doesn''t matter if I''m in charge of business.


    Gu Qingzhou: "


    She looked at the mango ice cream in her bowl and couldn''t eat it at once.


    And want to kill Si Xingyu with a stick.


    "What''s the matter?" "If you don''t want to eat it, don''t eat it. Who knows whether this kind of ice is hidden in the ice cellar or made of saltpeter."


    Long ago, Han people had the habit of building ice cellars in midsummer.


    There is a kind of saltpeter, which will cool down as long as it meets water and eventually become ice.


    However, saltpeter itself is harmful.


    Si Xingpei doesn''t advocate eating ice in midsummer. He always feels that he should comply with the solar terms all year round. He drinks more hot water in midsummer and tastes ice in winter.


    However, Gu Qingzhou occasionally looks like a greedy little girl.


    In front of his wife, all his opinions will yield to unimaginable levels without a bottom line.


    "I was disgusted." Gu Qingzhou said helplessly.


    "It''s not the first time you''ve been disgusted by me. Aren''t you used to it?"


    Gu Qingzhou: "


    What kind of talent can be so shameless? Gu Qingzhou can deal with this person and take him as her own. I think she is really capable.


    She put down the small bowl and drank half a cup of sour plum soup, which made her feel a little cool.


    She''s a little cooler.


    "Hungry, have something to eat?" "There''s a hotel in front of it," Si Xingpeng said again


    Gu Qingzhou said, "you can eat. Don''t talk nonsense at the dinner table."


    "Everything is up to my wife," said the secretary


    After they had dinner, it was 9:30 p.m. and the heat in the air finally subsided. Walking on the road, they could feel a faint chill.


    The adjutant''s car came from Peiping. They had dinner first and were already waiting at the door.


    Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingyu got into the car.


    "Still going to the hospital?" Asked the adjutant.


    "Go to the dock." Gu Qingzhou road.


    There are many docks in Tianjin, but there is only one place to go to Europe overnight.


    Gu Qingzhou said the address of the wharf.


    The adjutant drove out.


    Gu Qingzhou didn''t speak. He kept rubbing the jade pendant in his hand.


    She weighed it in her hand and found that there was nothing unusual about the weight.


    "If she hid something in the jade pendant, where is the switch? If she didn''t hide it, I broke it directly. Is it equivalent to destroying the relics?" Gu Qingzhou can''t make up his mind.


    Even on the last side, she didn''t see whether Mrs. Hirano was kind or malicious to her.


    "Western medicine has not yet been able to treat tuberculosis." Si Xingpei said to Gu Qingzhou, "look at her appearance, maybe there''s no chance?"


    "Yes." Gu Qingzhou road.


    She sounded a little cold.


    However, the fact is that for incurable diseases, miracle doctors are not immortals.


    If Mrs. Hirano cooperates, Gu Qingzhou can do his best to save her.


    Under the present circumstances, she is unwilling.


    The car stopped at the seawall. Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingfu got off the car and walked along the seawall to the wharf.


    Although it was midsummer, the sea breeze was still wet and cold. Si Xingpeng and Gu Qingzhou were both thin clothes, so he folded back and took the shawl Gu Qingzhou had put in the car.


    About 50 meters away from the dock, Gu Qingzhou stopped.


    There was a stone platform next to it. Si Xingyu casually wiped the sand on it and let Gu Qingzhou sit on it.


    He stood by, silently drew out a cigarette and lit it.


    In the dark, when the fireworks disappeared, I could vaguely see his face.


    The cruise ship docked at the wharf not far away, bustling.


    The people who drove the boat, as well as the people who saw them off, made the dock noisy like a market late at night.


    Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingyu watched all the time.


    Until four people came into their sight.


    Two men, carrying luggage. The luggage is heavy and numerous, which seems to be moving; A young woman, wearing a mask, helped another woman wearing a mask.


    The woman couldn''t see her face clearly, but her waist couldn''t stand upright, as if she were old.


    "She is so ill that she will infect a ship of people." Si Xingpei suddenly opened his mouth in the dark, "she has been very immoral and will not change until she dies."


    Gu Qingzhou heard Mrs. Hirano''s words and guessed that she might want to leave far away.


    At that time, Gu Qingzhou didn''t know the truth of her words.


    According to her, if she is cured, no matter where she goes in the future, she still can''t avoid the royalists, and there will always be people who won''t give up.


    Even if she wants to give up, others won''t allow it.


    Moreover, this matter will also involve Gu Qingzhou, making it difficult for Gu Qingzhou to have peace.


    Gu Qingzhou''s original expectation was to get rid of the royalist party, including the killing of Mrs. Hirano.


    Mrs. Hirano knows that even if she doesn''t have feelings, she can''t ignore her blood and family. Cai Changting''s sacrifice eliminated Gu Qingzhou''s hatred for the royalist party.


    She wants to save Mrs. Hirano.


    Mrs. Hirano, if there is anything left in this life, it is probably the blood of Gu Qingzhou.


    She doesn''t want to ruin Gu Qingzhou and her future life.


    So she had her own opinion.


    Gu Qingzhou thought that it was his random guess at that moment, but he didn''t think it was true.


    Si Xingpei stamped out his cigarette butts and looked at the wharf in the distance: "if she really gets on the boat, I won''t ask about Fangfei."


    Whether Fangfei killed him or committed suicide, Si Xingpeng also wants to make sure.


    But Fangfei killed Si mu. It''s a certainty.


    His killing or suicide is just the retribution of Fangfei''s sin. Si Xingyu can turn a blind eye.


    Gu Qingzhou told Si Xingpei that Mrs. Hirano might want a way out: let the royalists think that she had gone to Europe, and the real her died of illness.


    She can die, but no one can find her body, otherwise Gu Qingzhou is her substitute.


    She disappeared. No one could find her. She didn''t have to hide. Death was her relief.


    Buried in the sea, no bones.


    "Should I stop her?" Gu Qingzhou asked the secretary.


    The Secretary said, "can you cure her?"


    "There is 30% hope."


    "Even if these 30% succeed, can you treat her as a mother, filial piety and support her for the rest of your life?" The Secretary asked again.


    Gu Qingzhou was silent.


    It turns out that a cure does not mean that the problem has been solved.


    Under the gaze of Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei, Mrs. Hirano got on the cruise ship.


    Two men who escorted her soon got off the ship and didn''t accompany her. When they got off the ship, one of them carried a small suitcase in his hand. Is that the severance pay given to them by Mrs. Hirano?
