Chapter 513 Never Let Female Soldiers Come
The old craftsman didn't ask any further questions, picked up the gold bar, and walked to the workbench.
The weight was measured using a small copper scale.
"Two taels exactly. A pair of bracelets will weigh about one tael and six taels, a ring will weigh three mace, and the remaining one mace will be used to make earrings..."
"Can."
The old man turned on the lamp, took out a small piece of white paraffin from a tin can, and sculpted simple bracelet and ring shapes on the table.
Next, a small alcohol stove was lit, a crucible was placed on it, and the gold bars were picked up with long-handled tongs.
"Young man, watch yourself," the old man reminded him.
Lu Yao understood that the old man wanted him to witness the gold melting process.
This is an old rule to prevent customers from suspecting that the craftsman stole the gold.
As the flames turned from blue to pale gold, the old man placed the gold bars into the crucible.
The gold began to turn red and shine, gradually melting into a pool of shimmering, hot liquid, reflecting off the old man's wrinkled face in shifting light and shadow.
He used a long-handled spoon to skim off the surface scum, and then slowly poured the molten gold into the paraffin mold.
After cooling, quenching, and demolding, the rough blank was formed, and he began to repeatedly hammer it with a small hammer.
Ding, ding, ding...
The sound of hammering echoed rhythmically in the confined space.
Each sound causes the rough blank to stretch and thin, gradually taking on an arc shape.
The old man's rough hands were as steady as a machine.
After hammering to the appropriate thickness, he switched to a special hammer with fine teeth on the edge and gently rolled it on the bracelet surface.
The patterns on the car then appeared one by one, as neat as if they had been measured with a ruler.
As the old craftsman worked, he explained, "This is called 'love thread pattern.' In the old days, newlyweds would wear bracelets with this pattern, which meant that their love was deep and intertwined."
Before long, a set of jewelry was finished.
Lu Yao picked up the bracelet; it felt heavy in his hand.
The plain noodles have an elegant and simple design, with only two faint lines along the edges hinting at the craftsmanship.
The old man had engraved a tiny "Shun" character on the inside of the ring, the mark of Yongshun Silver Shop, which was also a blessing.
"The processing fee is eight yuan and forty cents. I need to keep this certificate for my records. Take your things."
Lu Yao paid the money, wrapped the bracelet and ring in soft cloth, and put them in his inner pocket.
I drove straight to the county hospital after leaving.
He was still concerned about Liu Hui's injuries.
Mei Ping said that Liu Hui has woken up and should be out of danger.
When we arrived at the county hospital, a nurse in a white coat ran out as soon as we got out of the car.
"Lu Yao, Lu Yao, you've come to see me?"
Jing Youxiang is always so cheerful.
It came running over, chirping like a little swallow.
Lu Yao patted her head: "I've come to see my comrade-in-arms. But I can also visit you while I'm at it. Thank you so much for helping me so much."
Jing Youxiang's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled:
"It's nothing, it's nothing, we're practically family! But shouldn't you at least do something for me?"
Lu Yao laughed at her joke: "So, you don't care much, or do you take it really seriously? How am I supposed to react?"
"Hmm... how about we come to my house for dinner? Maybe we can smooth things over with my dad and brother?"
Lu Yao shook his head: "He's not my father-in-law, what's the point of trying to ease the tension? Let's do it another day."
Jing Youxiang followed Lu Yao, dawdling and hesitating:
"Oh, it's not like I could cling to you. I'm already friends with Xiao Meizi, really. I'm not jealous of her. And you don't need to avoid me. Aren't we sisters? Aren't we like godson brothers?"
Lu Yao, noticing the stares of those around him, quickly nodded:
"Okay, okay, can't you wait until I'm free? I definitely can't today, I'm very busy."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for your message."
She stopped and watched Lu Yao stride into the hospital, his hands perfectly aligned.
"What a handsome young man! It would be a lie to say you're not jealous of Ding Mei. I really want to marry you... sigh!"
A long sigh, filled with helplessness.
Lu Yao arrived at the inpatient ward.
There were two policemen guarding the door to Liu Hui's ward.
Although Shi Shouyin's power has collapsed, they have not yet completely relaxed their vigilance.
Both of them knew Lu Yao and didn't stop him when he arrived.
Lu Yao entered the ward.
Liu Hui has indeed woken up, but he is still very weak. The nurse is changing his diaper.
Liu Hui looked embarrassed.
Although he's 29, he's still a naive guy who's never had a girlfriend.
It was very embarrassing to be poked and prodded by the nurses.
He was just completely weak and unable to move.
Seeing Lu Yao come in, he felt even more embarrassed.
Lu Yao patted the nurse on the shoulder:
"I'll do it, you go out first."
The nurses also happened to be unwilling to do this job.
This is a patient that the hospital director specifically instructed to treat well; she only came to serve her because she had no other choice.
Mei Ping had also spoken to the dean.
Knowing that Liu Hui had no family, they asked the nurse to give him special care.
After the nurse left, Lu Yao immediately started changing the diaper, making Liu Hui even more embarrassed.
"Company commander, no need..."
"What do you mean you don't need it? A grown man like you wouldn't be allowed to live in a latrine."
At this time, he wasn't wearing anything on his lower body for convenience, so when he urinated, it would get all over his bottom, and he had to wipe it with a wet towel.
Lu Yao rolled up his sleeves, wiped him clean, and then covered him with the blanket.
Liu Hui looked uncomfortable and guilty, repeatedly telling Lu Yao not to serve him.
He said he couldn't bear the responsibility.
Lu Yao slapped him on the butt:
"What are you talking about? I treat you like a brother, but you treat me like an outsider? Let me ask you, if I get shot and can't get up, will you take care of me?"
"able."
"That's settled then. Isn't it only right that I serve you?"
Lu Yao sat down next to him:
"You're not in any immediate danger. Once you've regained your strength, you can go back."
"Um... Company Commander... Where's my brother?"
The police didn't talk to him, they just told him to take good care of his injuries, so as soon as they saw Lu Yao, they wanted to ask about Lin Dong.
"Your brother is gone. He killed Shi Shouyin and avenged you!"
Liu Hui was so surprised he almost sat up in bed, but ultimately he was too weak to lie back down.
Where did he go?
"I don't know, but with your brother's skills, survival won't be a problem."
Lu Yao really couldn't be sure if Lin Dong would be able to leave the country safely in this life.
Because of his rebirth, he also rewrote the history of many people.
Lin Dong left the country in 76 in his previous life, but now he's gone two years earlier. Who knows who he'll run into?
But I hope he's safe.
That was the only thing I could say to comfort Liu Hui.
After chatting for a while, seeing that Liu Hui was in good spirits and that Lu Yao still had things to do, he got up to leave.
He asked Liu Hui, "You can't always have the nurses take care of you. Otherwise, I'll have Liu Shuangyan come over; she's very attentive."
"Oh no... I can't even put my pants on, if you let her come I'll go on a hunger strike..."
Lu Yao laughed heartily: "Look at you, so cowardly! Afraid of being looked at by women? Won't you ever get married?"
Liu Hui was genuinely terrified: "Company Commander, please, don't send the female militia members over. You can send Xiao Liuzi, though."
"Okay, I'll see who's willing to come later."
Lu Yao came out.
We're going to Yuan Shumei's house first.
He wanted to tell her that Shi Shouyin was dead, which could be considered revenge for Zhao Jianguo.
