chapter 3 Why are you sticking your tongue out?

After dinner, Padraic Casson sat on the threshold of the clinic and read a book, with a cigarette in his mouth and a philosophy book in his hand. This picture is really uncompromising with his image. Just imagine, a man wearing big pants with exposed arms and tattoos on his arms is holding a philosophy book in his hand and reading it. How funny it is. .

"Brother Chen!" A voice sounded from the side.

Padraic Casson looked up and saw a girl running towards this side quickly. She changed out of her cram school uniform and wore a light yellow skirt. Her long hair was blown by the breeze. Her smile was very refreshing and completely like her. Feeling like the girl next door.

"How many times have I told you, your illness can't escape, can't you come over here slowly?"Padraic Casson glared at the girl.

This girl is none other than Mrs. Lashbrook's daughter Aubrey Lashbrook. Aubrey Lashbrook's father ran away when she was born. Growing up, Aubrey Lashbrook and Mrs. Lashbrook depended on each other. When Padraic Casson first returned to China, Aubrey Lashbrook was only ten years old. At the age of six, she has grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye.

Aubrey Lashbrook has a sweet appearance, a very well-behaved and generous girl, and her grades in school are quite good. Because of her beauty, her family conditions were not good, and she was bullied by her classmates. In the past, when she came home from school alone, someone followed her. Padraic Casson helped her a few times, and the relationship naturally improved.

Aubrey Lashbrook smiled sweetly: "I know, just don't run away next time. Come on, Brother Chen, I bought you a cake, strawberry flavor!"

With that said, Aubrey Lashbrook rolled up her skirt, sat next to Padraic Casson, and opened the small box. Inside was an exquisite pink cake.

"I guess you must not have had enough to eat tonight. Eat quickly."

"My sister Xiaoyue is better. If she really wants to be like your mother, I'm afraid I would have been tortured to death by you mother and daughter."Padraic Casson shook his head with a smile and took the small box.

Aubrey Lashbrook smiled: "Brother Chen, don't blame my mother. In fact, it's not easy for my mother. She has no source of income now, so she relies on part-time work and rent to make ends meet, and most of the money is spent on me. I have to study and take medicine, and my mother hasn’t bought new clothes for more than a year.”

"Your mother is just stubborn. Why doesn't she let me try? How many times have I told you that your disease may not be cured even in the hospital, but here, I guarantee that the medicine will cure it."Padraic Casson replied.

"I know that the medicine you boiled for me is indeed effective. After drinking a bowl, I won't get sick for a week, but my mother doesn't think so. She thinks, if you are really capable, how can you stay here to relax? .Besides, Brother Chen, I think it’s better for you to find a job, otherwise you won’t be able to get a wife in the future.”

"Hey, if I can't marry you, I still have you."Padraic Casson took two bites of the cake and said jokingly.

"Brother Chen, what are you talking about? I won't marry you. Look at you, you are sloppy and have no money, and you should shave your beard!"Aubrey Lashbrook said, and stretched out her hand to pull Chen hard. The Padraic Casson on his chin.

What Aubrey Lashbrook said was indeed reasonable. Padraic Casson current image was not good, and his savings were only in single digits. However, these are nothing to Padraic Casson. As long as he wants to, he can just make a phone call to pick up a task, and the money will come in minutes.

However, Padraic Casson didn't want to experience that kind of life from death to death again.

"Isn't it just money? Believe it or not, Brother Chen can treat you to Western food tomorrow."Padraic Casson grinned.

"Tch, what about Western food? I think you can only afford foreign instant noodles at most."Aubrey Lashbrook rolled her eyes.

"call..."

Aubrey Lashbrook suddenly took a deep breath, her face suddenly turned pale, and she clutched her chest, her expression looking a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Chen..."Aubrey Lashbrook held Padraic Casson's hand tightly, and held it very hard.

Padraic Casson was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized something. He put the cake box in his hand on the ground, and then placed Aubrey Lashbrook flat on the ground. Aubrey Lashbrook's breathing became rapid, and the rise and fall of his chest became larger and larger. , obviously a condition of difficulty breathing.

Aubrey Lashbrook has severe asthma, and it is acute allergic asthma. The disease is very unstable. However, this is the first time Aubrey Lashbrook has developed an illness in front of Padraic Casson.

Padraic Casson quickly pinched Aubrey Lashbrook's body. After several seconds, Aubrey Lashbrook still didn't get better. Choking the philtrum can only cause instant pain and clear consciousness, but it cannot relieve the symptoms of asthma.

After hesitating for two seconds, Padraic Casson lowered his body and gave Aubrey Lashbrook artificial respiration mouth-to-mouth. The other hand pressed Aubrey Lashbrook's chest, pressing down along with the rise and fall of Aubrey Lashbrook's chest.

Padraic Casson was helping Aubrey Lashbrook breathe. Aubrey Lashbrook's asthma was actually under control, but she had just jogged for a while and induced bronchial smooth muscle spasm. Padraic Casson could only use this method to relieve her.

Aubrey Lashbrook didn't close her eyes, she just stared at Padraic Casson. The wheezing sound from her mouth became louder, but after a few seconds, the wheezing sound disappeared and her breathing became even.

Padraic Casson lifted up his clothes and wiped the sweat from his face. He looked relieved. Then, he looked back at the alley. Fortunately, it was almost nine o'clock and there was basically no one in the alley. If someone saw him, If you do this to Aubrey Lashbrook and let Mrs. Lashbrook know about it, you will definitely be beaten up by Mrs. Lashbrook.

"It's so shameless. How can a little girl hang out with such idle people?" A voice suddenly came from the side.

Hearing this, Padraic Casson turned his head suddenly. An aunt was standing two meters away on his right, holding a fan in her hand.

"What are you looking at, you gangster!" the aunt cursed, then turned and left.

"Hey, Ms. Warth, where are you going?"

"I'll tell the third wife, you kid, you are blatantly bullying her girl. I'll see how she deals with you."

"Holy shit!"Padraic Casson felt completely bad.

He couldn't stop him even if he wanted to, and even if Padraic Casson tried to stop him, he wouldn't have anything good to bribe Ms. Warth. Ms. Warth was notoriously snobbish. The most important thing is that Mrs. Lashbrook is very addicted to cards, but because her family's conditions are not good, she goes to watch people play cards in her free time, and Ms. Warth is one of them.

"It's over..."Padraic Casson breathed out.

"You deserve it! Who asked you to kiss me!"Aubrey Lashbrook pale face turned into a red apple, and she was glaring at Padraic Casson.

Padraic Casson was stunned for a moment and replied: "It's not...it's an emergency, I...I'm trying to save you."

"Then why are you sticking your tongue out!"Aubrey Lashbrook's face turned red and she looked at Padraic Casson angrily.

Padraic Casson was stunned for a moment and scratched his head awkwardly: "I'm used to it..."

"You...hum, I'm ignoring you!"Aubrey Lashbrook pouted, looking aggrieved.

Padraic Casson was even more embarrassed. He curled his lips and replied: "Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll make it up to you. I'll buy you whatever you want?"

"Can you afford it?"Aubrey Lashbrook said with her head held high.

Padraic Casson replied: "You said, I'll buy it for you even if I sell iron, okay?"

"I want to change my phone!"Aubrey Lashbrook replied.

Padraic Casson replied without thinking: "Okay, I'll buy it for you!"

Padraic Casson had nothing to say about such a thing, but luckily, it was just a mobile phone. When he got the money, it would be more than enough to buy a box.

After hearing this, Aubrey Lashbrook's face looked a little better. In fact, she also knew that Padraic Casson was giving her first aid. It was just a kiss, and it was no big deal, but this damn guy actually stuck out his tongue. So disgusting, so disgusting!

"Forget it..."Aubrey Lashbrook whispered: "You also wanted to save me..."

Padraic Casson was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, a woman's heart is indeed difficult to predict. She was on the verge of death a second ago, so why did she suddenly become better?

"Go and make some medicine for me. I have to go home after I drink it!"Aubrey Lashbrook rolled her eyes at Padraic Casson.

Padraic Casson nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Aubrey Lashbrook comes to Padraic Casson house once a week, and every time she comes secretly, because Mrs. Lashbrook doesn't know that Aubrey Lashbrook is taking Padraic Casson's medicine. If she tells Mrs. Lashbrook , she will definitely scold Padraic Casson for her temper. Dun, Aubrey Lashbrook is not allowed to run to Padraic Casson in the future.

In fact, Padraic Casson can directly perform acupuncture on Aubrey Lashbrook. After one acupuncture, Aubrey Lashbrook's disease will be cured. But if Mrs. Lashbrook finds out about this, she will definitely be very surprised and will drag Aubrey Lashbrook to the hospital. If you know you did the test, you might get yourself into trouble.

Ten minutes later, Padraic Casson walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of medicine.

"Drink, drink, I added sugar."Padraic Casson said to Aubrey Lashbrook.

Aubrey Lashbrook nodded, became quiet, held the bowl, pinched her nose and drank the medicine in one gulp.

"Brother Chen, I'm leaving."

"Stop running, walk back slowly, do you hear me?"

"I know, and besides, I wasn't angry with you just now, and I wouldn't tell my mother, so you don't have to worry."Aubrey Lashbrook said again.

Padraic Casson waved his hand: "Go back quickly."

Aubrey Lashbrook nodded, turned and left.

Padraic Casson took the empty bowl and walked towards the kitchen, shaking his head as he walked: "What the hell is this..."

"Damn, I forgot to borrow my cell phone to use!"Padraic Casson suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead heavily.

Padraic Casson used Aubrey Lashbrook's mobile phone to download the software before. Now his mobile phone is shut down and he can't make calls. He originally wanted to borrow Aubrey Lashbrook mobile phone tonight, but because of what happened just now, Just forgot about it.

I touched my pocket and saw a crumpled twenty yuan. The cheapest public phone card cost ten yuan. With the remaining ten yuan, I could eat instant noodles for a day...

After washing the dishes, Padraic Casson took the money and went to the newsstand outside to buy a ten-yuan public phone card. This kind of public phone is currently only available in this old city. There is no such thing in the city anymore. .

Padraic Casson found a public phone and entered the British number.

"The call you made is an international long distance call. The charge is 1.5 yuan per minute. The balance on the card is 10 yuan." A prompt tone came from the phone.

Hearing this prompt, Padraic Casson felt a headache. They said it was difficult to move without money, and this was true.

The call went through quickly, and it took almost a few seconds before someone picked up the phone.

"Hello, I'm Enos Pikholc." came the familiar voice on the phone.

"Manager Enos Pikholc, I am Padraic Casson..."Padraic Casson replied.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, have you changed your mind? Are you willing to come to England?"
