Xia Qingfeng had been unconscious the whole time. No matter how much his family called out to him, there was no response. This time, Lady Wang started crying and kept shouting, My son, if anything happens to you, your mother won't be able to live." Grandpa and Grandma heard the crying and wanted to get out of the sedan chair. However, Grandpa Shen was still very calm. He touched the back of his son's head and said, No bleeding." Then, he said to the old master," Father, Mother, Azurepeak is fine. Don't get off the sedan in the cold." Then, he ordered Ah Fu to bring a few waiters to bring the Eldest Young Master back. On the way, he sent someone to call a doctor. He could not delay for a moment. Now that they were rushing to visit the tomb, it would be a bad year if they delayed the time. The remaining people quickly thought of a way to go up the mountain.
Everyone carried the eldest young master onto the sedan chair. The eldest madam was worried about her son being alone and insisted on staying by his side. The eldest son asked his wife to accompany him so that they could take care of each other along the way. The four waiters who had fallen down could still stand up and walk. They didn't seem to have broken bones. The Grand Elder Wen asked them to hurry back to find a doctor to take a look. He casually gave one of them some silver and let everyone split it.
The waiters thanked the old master and quickly left. Ah Fu brought a few middle-class workers with him and carried a palanquin, in which the First Mistress and Xia Qingfeng were sitting. They turned around and walked back.
A few sedan chairs stopped at the foot of the mountain. They realized that the front had stopped. They did not know what had happened. They lifted the curtain and asked the waiter who was following them. The waiter said that the eldest young master seemed to have fallen and was preparing to go back to the residence to find a doctor. " It's really torturous to visit a grave in such a snowy day. The living are being controlled by the dead," Third Brother said indignantly.
On the way back to the manor, Ah Fu greeted Eldest Mistress and went off to find a doctor. The waiters didn't dare to stop and ran all the way to the Xia residence.
At the foot of the mountain. Grand Elder Wen and Meng Lin stood out to take a look at the terrain. They realized that walking on such a steep slope required extreme caution. They didn't know what their son was thinking. He actually asked them to carry the sedan chair. "Azurepeak is a smart child, why is he so muddle-headed this time?"”
People were all like this. The speaker was not paying attention, but the listener was paying attention. Xia Menglin suddenly thought, firstly, his brother would not be so stupid as to make the palanquin walk on a steep slope on a snowy day. Secondly, the four attendants who were carrying the palanquin did not fall unconscious. His brother was more or less protected in the palanquin, so how could he fall so heavily? Meng Lin felt strange. She did not know why she had this feeling. She felt that she might have been overthinking things.
The Grand Elder found a servant and asked him to clean the snow on the steps first. Then, he asked everyone to get off the sedan chair and walk up the mountain, leaving one person to watch the sedan chair. There was no more snow on the steps. With the help of the servant girls, it was much safer to walk on the steps now.
Xia Manor. A few waiters carried Xia Qingfeng to the bed. Soon, the doctor arrived. This doctor was the Xia family's own doctor, Doctor Lin, who was well-known within a few miles. He was about the same age as the old master and the two of them had a good relationship. Every time the old master of the Xia family returned to his hometown, he would find a day to meet Doctor Lin. They would talk about their hometown and the situation in Shanghai. Sometimes, he would even learn the simplest medical skills from Doctor Lin.
After taking his pulse, Doctor Lin glanced at the unconscious Qingfeng and did not say anything. Then, he waved his hand at Lady Wang, who looked anxious. Lady Wang was anxious and waved her hand. What did she mean? Was my son dying? Just as he was about to ask, Doctor Lin extended his hand and gestured for her to enter the courtyard.
" Doctor Lin, is my son alright? You waved your hand just now because…" Lady Wang's voice was on the verge of tears.
"First Madam, don't be anxious. I waved my hand just now to say that it's fine."
"Oh, you scared me. It's good that he's fine. Then why is he still unconscious?”
"This…I'm not sure. From the pulse, Eldest Young Master's body is indeed strong and healthy. There's a bruise on his arm from a fall, but it's not as bad as he's unconscious now."
"Then how can I wake up?"
"Eldest Madam, I have been treating the Xia family for decades. I am sure that Eldest Young Master is not sick. However, the patient needs to rest. It's best if you don't stay in front of him. I'll prescribe some ointment for Eldest Young Master to remove blood stasis from bruises. When he wakes up, apply it on him. Change the ointment every day.”
"Alright, thank you, Doctor Lin. Ah Fu, give Doctor Lin a few more silver notes. It's not easy to come over during the New Year."
" Thank you, Eldest Mistress." After Doctor Lin finished speaking, he took the silver notes that Ah Fu handed over and left the Xia residence.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Doctor Lin shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself," This Eldest Young Master is pretending to be sick. He's really torturous."
Lady Wang was afraid that it would affect her son's rest, so she closed the door and went to do other things.
Xia Qingfeng, who was lying on the bed, woke up. He really wanted to thank Doctor Lin. If he hadn't said that the patient needed rest, his mother would probably still be by his side. As long as his mother didn't leave, he wouldn't have been able to wake up. At the thought of this, he had to hurry up and take a look at Meng Lin's " secret " before anyone else found out that he was awake.
Meng Lin's room was right next to Azurepeak's room. Before leaving his room, he sneaked a peek at the courtyard. When he realized that there was no one there, he strode out of the door and entered Meng Lin's room while sticking close to the wall. He casually closed the door behind him.
Meng Lin's room was very clean and tidy, which made it difficult for Xia Qingfeng. He could not mess up her room, and he had to find the exact location of the items. It was a difficult task. He looked around and opened the drawer of the dressing table. There were gold and silver jewelry and rouge powder inside. They didn't look like foreign goods. Then, he looked at the bookcase. It was filled with his sister's books. There was nothing strange about it. 'Did I blame my sister wrongly?' Xia Qingfeng's mind raced.'Did I really think too much? There's nothing strange in the house now. I should give up.' In fact, not finding anything was the best outcome. This would prove that he was worrying too much.
When Xia Qingfeng turned around and was about to leave, he glanced at the bed by accident. He felt a little strange, but he could not pinpoint what was strange. The things on the bed were pillows, blankets, and bedsheets. Everything was neatly arranged, but he felt that something was wrong. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone push open the door next door. The door creaked, and he thought that his mother might have returned to the room to visit him. Hence, she hurriedly left Meng Lin's room and closed the door behind her. She pretended to be calm and unhurried as she entered her own room.
When Lady Wang entered her son's room and found that there was no one on the bed, she was surprised and happy. She was happy that her son had woken up, but she was surprised that her son had gone. As she was thinking, Qingfeng called out "Mother" behind her, and Lady Wang's worried heart finally relaxed.
"Son, you're awake. Thank God. Where did you go just now?"
"Oh, I'm going to relieve myself. Hur Hur, Mother, I'm fine. I'll be fine after drinking some nourishing soup."
"Doctor Lin is really a miracle doctor. He said you're fine, and you're really fine. Ah Fu has already bought the ointment. I'll put it on you after dinner."
"Mother, I'm fine. I want to sleep a little longer now. Go and do your work."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll leave now. Sleep more."
Lady Wang left the room and closed the door behind her. Xia Qingfeng sat on the bed. He kept thinking about the scene on Meng Lin's bed. There were pillows, blankets, and bedsheets. It was normal, but he felt that something was wrong. Sigh, it's too tiring to sit and think. I'll lie down and think about it.
As Xia Qingfeng lay down and was about to cover himself with the blanket, he sat up as if he had been electrocuted. His eyes were filled with surprise, and he sat there for a long time without saying a word. Suddenly, he muttered to himself," So this is where the secret is." After saying that, he stood up and used his fastest speed to check for any movements in the courtyard. When no one was around, he slipped into Meng Lin's room and closed the door.
As soon as he closed the door, Xia Qingfeng threw himself at the pillow on the bed. The moment he picked up the pillow, he knew that his judgment was right. Why did he think that something was hidden under the pillow? Because at first glance, Meng Lin's bed felt normal. There was nothing special about it. However, when Xia Qingfeng returned to his own bed, he knew that Meng Lin's pillow had a special function. For the sake of comfort, a normal pillow was about ten centimeters tall, but Meng Lin's pillow was more than twice as tall as a normal pillow. Meng Lin was not a tall man, and women of average build would not be able to stand a pillow that was twice as tall as a normal person's.
There was an ordinary pillow on the top. When he removed the pillow, there was a hard box that was the same size and length as the pillow. However, the box was wrapped in a pillow-like cloth very carefully. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that it was two things stacked together. Obviously, Meng Lin had made a decision based on the size of the box and placed the real pillow on top of it. Therefore, the size and height of her pillow were different from the other rooms. That was why Xia Qingfeng felt weird on the bed at first, but he couldn't pinpoint the reason. He had overlooked the size and height of the pillow. If he hadn't gone back to his room to lie down, he didn't know when the inspiration would have come to him.
The box was wrapped very carefully, and the corners of the box were not exposed. He opened the box gently. It was a very ordinary box. There were a few small boxes inside, and there were bags of things inside. These were the bags of face masks that Meng Lin brought from the 21st century to the Republic of China when he transmigrated. However, Xia Qingfeng did not recognize them. Looking at the foreign language on them, he was sure that they were brought back from England. However, he could not tell what they were because he did not know the foreign language. When he flipped through it again to see if there was anything else, a strange thing entered his eyes.
In fact, this thing was a smartphone, and it was a phone with no battery. However, Xia Qingfeng had never seen such a thing before. Curious, he flipped the phone over and over again, but he could not see anything special about it. He did not know what it was for, and there was no response from the few buttons on it. He was really confused. These things were very likely to be foreign goods. It was normal for his sister to bring back some foreign goods from overseas. Moreover, he could not see any flaws in these things. Perhaps he was worrying too much. He should not have suspected his biological sister.
While he was thinking, Xia Qingfeng accidentally touched the button on his phone, probably because he had been fiddling with the phone's buttons. At that moment, the phone vibrated and magically turned on.
Some smart phones ran out of battery at that time. As long as they were turned off for a few hours, the remaining power inside could be stored and the phone could be turned on again. However, it would automatically turn off not long after it was turned on. If it was turned on again, it would not work. At this time, it had to be charged.
Xia Qingfeng did not expect the phone to shake when he turned it on. He did not expect it to move, so he threw it to the ground in fright. As the phone slowly turned on, he saw a picture of Meng Lin's life. He was dressed in a western-style outfit, and he guessed that it might be a souvenir from when he was abroad. We modern people all know what's going on. Before Meng Lin transmigrated, he used his own photo to make a mobile phone desktop, but in the 1935 Republic of China, no one knew about this.
Xia Qingfeng picked up the strange object. He suddenly remembered that his teacher once said that in 1925, Baird of England invented the world's first television set. This television set allowed one to see many things about Beiping and Shanghai at home. At that time, the classroom was filled with sighs. Many people shook their heads and said that they did not believe it. Some people jeered that if they did not go to Beiping in person, they would not know about Beiping just by watching something at home. It wasn't until 1958 that the first television set in China was successfully tested that people saw the magic of television sets. Before 1958, there was no television broadcasting in China, and television sets couldn't be produced in China. Of course, this was a story for the future.
Looking at this thing in front of him, Xia Qingfeng suddenly felt that Meng Lin was his biological sister. Only England could bring back so many advanced gadgets. It seemed that he had really misunderstood his sister. In the future, they would be a family, and they should work together to help their father do business. Suspicion was really poisonous.
Noises came from the courtyard. Xia Qingfeng knew that everyone had returned from visiting the grave. He quickly put the things back into the box, wrapped the box with cloth as fast as he could, and put a pillow on it. After making sure that there was no one in the courtyard, he went out of the door and went back to his room.
Xia Qingfeng had neglected something very important. His phone was on and he had put it into the box.
When Meng Lin came back, he heard from his mother that his brother had fallen asleep again after waking up. He wanted to visit his brother, but he was afraid of disturbing him. It was not lunchtime yet, so he turned around and went into his room. As soon as she entered the room, she heard the familiar ringtone of her phone that she had not heard for a long time…
