366, To the Girl in My Heart (Please Order the Whole Book)

Tuberculosis is tuberculosis.

This disease is difficult to cure.

At this time, tuberculosis was said in China to be "nine out of ten tuberculosis patients will cause death". In the West, it was also known as the White Plague. Treatment is extremely difficult and the mortality rate is extremely high. It was not until the advancement of medicine in later generations and the era of chemotherapy that treatment rates improved, and the vast majority of tuberculosis patients could be cured.

But..., given the current level of medical care in the early twentieth century.

When this disease is mild, it can be said to be okay, and the body may recover on its own, but when it becomes severe, it is basically a death sentence.

"Dear Miss Satomi, please allow me to call you this..."

In the study, Bai Gui was about to pick up the pen to write, but his elbow couldn't help but paused on the plain paper, making it difficult to write.

I can't write anymore.

That year was October, the beginning of winter.

On the train from Nagaki to Tokyo.

He met Satomi Naoko.

First encounter, or first love. Although he only met once, deep down he fell in love with this chestnut girl wrapped in a snow-white kimono.

It’s not just about appreciating and loving beautiful things.

Bai Gui is not so hypocritical.

"If life is just like the first time we met, why should the autumn wind draw a fan sadly?"

"It's easy to change old people's hearts, but the saying goes...old people's hearts are easy to change."

He suddenly remembered Nalan Xingde's Mulan poem.

changed.

My heart has changed.

In the past, he would deliberately choose to sit in the lower carriage of the train from Nagasaki to Shikoku Station, for no other reason than to see the girl in kimono eating chestnuts again...

Every time he comes to Nagasaki, he is always willing to sit and wait for the train at this section of the road.

The more times you sit there, the more likely you’ll encounter someone by chance.

I can't say how much I like it, but... I always want to meet again!

But now, although there is a certain possibility that he can cure Nahoko Satomi's tuberculosis, time, energy, family, etc., do not allow him to indulge in any more disorderly behavior.

Furthermore, the cost of treating a person, no matter his level of cultivation, is still too high.

"I'm waiting for the October flowers to bloom - to the girl in my heart."

"Xunqing, the second year of Xuantong. After the exams for the five scheduled schools in Shanghai were completed, I stayed at the Shanshan Association from mid-September to October. I got a high quota and was able to go to Japan to study in Japan."

"This train is a low-class ticket bought by Minister Wu. It goes from Nagasaki to Kyushu Island. The train is under the jurisdiction of Kyushu Railway Co., Ltd. and is a private company. It can sell more things."

"At that time, I was reading "Records of the Kingdom of Japan" written by Huang Gongdu (Huang Zunxian, nicknamed Gongdu). Huang Gongdu was the former counselor in Japan. At that time, no, even now, this book he wrote is the first reference material for students studying in Japan. While I was reading, I listened with great interest to the shamisen and snare drum played by the geisha on the train. Sitting opposite me was a beautiful girl who was not very attractive and was wearing plain clothes at the time. The kimono, the maruette belt was a bit heavy, very Japanese-style. She was sitting there quietly. I should have been able to move my peripheral vision from the book to this beauty. Maybe it was, rather than looking at the hand indifferently. Shuzhu, I prefer talking to this girl."

"The opportunity came soon. She asked for a small bag of Tianjin Ganli. In a foreign country, when I heard the name of my home country, I inevitably looked at her, and she inevitably looked at me."

"This is the first kindness I have received from a foreign country."

"I can't really tell that the chestnut taste has any kind of Jinmen flavor, but it has a sweet taste. I paid a high price to treat her to lunch, the total price was yen per day, and it was box sushi sold on the train..."

"The second time..., I learned her name, Satomi Naoko. It is very similar to the names given by many Japanese people. It has no deep meaning, such as Saburo, Hachiro and the like."

"Recently... I received a letter from her. She is ill. I felt mixed emotions for a moment. In my memory, the chestnut girl sitting by the train window suddenly became haggard and looked sick."

"Although Xizi is very fond of her, when I think of her pale lips and face, all the hopes in my heart inevitably turn into wishes for her."

"I put on my outer robe and sat alone by the window."

"Compared to my great writer friend, I don't like smoking, but at this moment I actually want to puff away the smoke for a while. After the smoke has settled, she will sit across from me with a smile and hand me chestnuts."

"As a friend, even though I've only met twice, I hope she gets better."

"Although October is the beginning of winter, the girl in my heart, look to the other side of the ocean, where... flowers are still blooming in October."

"——Bai Meihe."

Bai Gui's writing on the plain paper stopped.

This is the first time he has written a memoir.

I guess it's not very well written.

However, given his status as a great writer, this memoir will definitely receive praise from the outside world after it is published.

No matter how badly written it is, someone will come to study it carefully.

…

The next day.

Bai Gui arrived at the newspaper office and prepared to publish this memory essay.

With his status in the industry, when people in the newspaper heard that the famous Bai Meihe had published an article, they immediately agreed and gave him a large sum of remuneration.

For ordinary people to publish articles, if they are not famous, they need to pay the newspaper. But Bai Gui is willing to go to the newspaper to publish the article, which adds glory to the newspaper and is a blessing.

After the article is published.

It immediately caused a sensation in China and Japan.

Just like in history, after Xun Geer published Mr. Fujino's article, people from home and abroad rushed to Sendai Medical College to look for Mr. Fujino.

Bai Gui's influence at this moment is the top among literati.

One month.

Two months.

Until the beginning of spring and the end of September.

There was no news about Satomi Nahoko.

No reply.

At this time, even if you have a name, it is not easy to find a person. Unless you search the mountains and seas and spend a lot of money to find him. Besides, the transmission of letters is too slow. It was already April when this essay reached Japan.

If Bai Gui was not famous in Japan, it would be difficult to ferment to the point where everyone knew about it.

"Brother, it is estimated that Miss Satomi has not seen the article yet."

"You don't have to worry about Miss Satomi. She is ill now... According to the doctor, it won't be a big deal."

In September, the university department of Beiman Girls' School was on vacation. Liu Baoer returned to her hometown and said this when she saw Bai Gui for the first time.

"Don't let your sister-in-law hear this."

"I don't have any love for Miss Satomi. It's just that I was deeply impressed by her when I first went to study in Japan."

Bai Gui shook his head and chuckled.

In addition to remembrance, he wrote this article for another purpose, which was to let Satomi Nahoko see this article and meet him again.

Satomi Nahoko traveled abroad, so even if she had her previous address, it would be of no use.

If Satomi Nahoko could come to Qin Province to meet him again, it would be okay to use Taoist magic to treat Satomi Nahoko at that time.

But if Satomi Nahoko pretended not to know and didn't want to meet him again...

This faint regret will also be forgotten as time goes by, and buried deep in memory.

After all, he is just a passerby.

After only meeting twice, the memory is deeper than that of ordinary people.

"I thought you, brother, had done a good job as my sister-in-law."

Liu Baoer held his forehead and said.

"Your sister-in-law... definitely cares a little, but how can she care too much about this kind of thing."

Bai Gui said casually.

He wrote a letter to Satomi Nahoko, which was also a kind of "breaking away from the world".

To put it bluntly, Bai Xiuzhu must care about this matter, but who would care about a dying person?
