Chapter 60: One Step at a Time
Jiang Peng carried Uncle Le, who was still moaning, and rushed out the back door.
As soon as he went out, Jiang Peng saw Zhou Chen who was pressed to the ground by Panda at a glance, and there were many people around Zhou Chen, Jiang Xiaohu, Jiang Yitong and several little masters.
Zhou Chen's eyes were red, and when he saw Jiang Peng running out with Uncle Le in his arms, he immediately began to twist his body wildly, Pan Da was afraid that he would be stupid just now, so he held him down.
"Let go of me, let go of me!"
Jiang Peng glanced at Zhou Chen, who was struggling, and Pan Da, who was pressing on Zhou Chen, said, "Pan Da, you let go of him first." ”
Panda wanted to say something, but when he saw Jiang Peng's expression and Uncle Le on his shoulder, he gritted his teeth and let go of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen immediately shook off Panda, got up with difficulty, and staggered to Jiang Peng.
"Go to the backyard first, there is an infirmary in the backyard where you can treat the wound temporarily. Looking at Zhou Chen standing in front of him, Jiang Peng frowned slightly, he didn't know what Zhou Chen would do next.
"Give him to me. ”
Zhou Chen's voice was very low, but his eyes were full of determination, and he didn't have the frivolous appearance before at all.
"Good. ”
Jiang Peng saw something in Zhou Chen's eyes, he was just stunned for a second, without any nonsense, he gently put down Uncle Le and put him next to Zhou Chen.
Jiang Yitong hurriedly stepped forward and bandaged the wound with the bandage in his hand to temporarily stop the bleeding.
Zhou Chen looked at Uncle Le, who was pale and angry, his eyes were red, but he didn't say anything.
"Xiao Jiang, it's me, it's me who can't stand you. Uncle Le turned his head slightly, looked at Jiang Peng, and said apologetically.
Jiang Peng sighed, shook his head, and replied, "Uncle Le, it's okay, you don't need to say any more, take a good rest." ”
Uncle Le was covered with sweat, sighed faintly, and actually shed a few old tears.
Zhou Chen hurriedly squatted down and stood carefully in front of Uncle Le, wiping away his sweat and tears for him. Then with his back to Uncle Le, he slowly squatted down. His ankle was sprained, and the mere act of squatting down made his cheeks twist and sweat flow.
But Zhou Chen didn't scream in pain, grabbed Uncle Le's hands, passed them over his shoulders, and then clasped Uncle Le's thighs with both hands and got up hard.
Under the gaze of others, Zhou Chen trembled and picked up Uncle Le, took a step forward, and in just one step, Zhou Chen's body almost shook, but Zhou Chen shouted angrily, exerted force on his feet, and stood up straight again.
Pan Da, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by Jiang Peng.
"Panda, don't go over, let him do it himself. ”
Panda turned his head to look at Jiang Peng, his face full of doubt.
"Brother Peng, what is this kid so strong, he has to carry someone if he hurts his foot. ”
Jiang Peng shook his head and did not speak.
Instead, Jiang Yitong walked over, stood beside Pan Da, and said in a low voice: "Pan Da, you don't have to say a word, the current Zhou Chen is only a little bit of a look." ”
Jiang Peng sighed and said in a low voice: "Panda, you go to Zhou Chen's side, don't help him, unless he is about to fall, you help him again, remember, don't talk too much, don't stimulate him anymore." ”
Although Panda looked down on Zhou Chen, after Jiang Yitong's nudge, he probably understood Zhou Chen's current mood, he hummed and followed behind Zhou Chen, just in case.
"I remember that there is a refrigerator in the back kitchen, and I will put Uncle Le's severed limb in the refrigerator first, maybe it can be connected later, you can watch it here first. Jiang Peng said to Jiang Yitong, and after seeing her nodding, he walked up the steps in three or two steps and ran towards the backyard.
Everything that happened just now was seen by everyone outside the back door, and it was precisely because he was afraid that Zhou Chen would go back to die, that Panda held down him who was limping despite Zhou Chen's objections.
What happened in the front temple was between the lightning and flint, if it wasn't for Uncle Le pushing Zhou Chen just now, he would have been injured at this time.
Panda followed behind Zhou Chen, watching Zhou Chen, ready to make a move at any time, just in case.
The wound on Uncle Le's calf was still slowly dripping with blood, and with each drop, Zhou Chen's footsteps would take a step forward.
His hands clasped Uncle Le's thighs tightly, and with every step, the injured ankle would tremble violently.
After walking a few meters, Zhou Chen's wheezing gradually became thicker, and every next step needed to be paused for a few seconds to breathe.
The ten-meter-long steps are not long, but for Zhou Chen at this time, they are like a moat, one step at a time.
Zhou Chen's forehead was already covered with sweat, sweat and tears mixed together, sliding into the corners of Zhou Chen's mouth, salty and astringent.
But Zhou Chen's eyes did not waver in the slightest, and his gaze was always locked on the top of the steps.
"Xiao Chen, you...... You weren't hurt. Uncle Le's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Zhou Chen, who could still hold on, almost couldn't hold back the pain and fell to his knees.
"Dad, stop talking. Zhou Chen only bit his lip, the corners of his mouth had been bitten, and the blood flowed down, but Zhou Chen didn't seem to feel it, what he wanted was this effect, attacking pain with pain, suppressing pain with pain.
"Xiaochen, take a rest, Dad can go by himself. Uncle Le's voice became lower and lower, and the more Zhou Chen listened, the more heartbroken he became.
"Dad, why are you so stupid, you ......" Tears couldn't stop falling, Zhou Chen's mood suddenly collapsed, and his tears slipped down his cheeks as if they had burst.
"Silly boy, of course because I'm your father, you're still young and can't be hurt, and your father is old, and one less foot is nothing. ”
Uncle Le's words slashed at Zhou Chen's heart like a razor, his legs were weak, and he knelt directly on the steps.
Although he knelt on the ground, Uncle Le behind Zhou Chen still carried his back very steadily.
Tears blurred Zhou Chen's eyes, and the corners of his eyes merged with sweat and blood, Zhou Chen hated and hated his incompetence.
Panda behind him looked at Zhou Chen, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but heard Zhou Chen's shout, "Don't come here, I can do it myself." ”
Pan Da just wanted to persuade Zhou Chen a few words, but immediately saw Zhou Chen, who was half-kneeling on the ground, shaking his body, slowly standing up, carrying Uncle Le on his back, and continuing to walk up the steps.
Even if it was Panda, when he saw this scene, he was like a fish in his throat, and he didn't know what to say.
"Actually, I'm not so busy at work, it's because I don't want to go home. Since I went to work, I have never given my family a penny, not because I have no money, but because I spent it indiscriminately. The last time I signed the contract, I lied to you, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. ”
Zhou Chen said with tears in his eyes as he walked, although he walked slowly, he kept walking.
"It's normal for children to grow up and not want to go home. Dad still runs a shop himself, and he doesn't need your money, and as for signing the contract, I have long forgotten about it, son, what my father wants most is to get married and have children early, so that I will die without regrets......"
Uncle Le's voice became smaller and quieter as he spoke, and the last sentence was as small as a mosquito buzzing.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? You speak, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Chen's voice immediately became flustered, and Jiang Yitong, Jiang Xiaohu, and Pan Da hurriedly walked into Uncle Le's side.
"Uncle Le, Uncle Le, you speak, don't sleep. Looking at Uncle Le, who slowly closed his eyes, Jiang Yitong quickly reached out and touched Uncle Le's forehead and snort, and then reached out and put it on his chest.
"It's okay for the time being, it should be fainting caused by excessive blood loss, but we must find a way to send Uncle Le to the hospital as soon as possible. ”
Listening to Jiang Yitong's words, Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then roared, walked the last steps in three steps in a row, and then knelt directly in front of the backyard door.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was about to fall, Pan Da and Jiang Yitong hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhou Chen, and several little masters also took over Uncle Le and hurriedly carried him into the infirmary in the back mountain.
"You're a man. Looking at Zhou Chen, who was lying on the ground, pale and out of breath, Panda said a word, and then resisted Zhou Chen and pushed him into the backyard.
Zhou Chen's ankle has been swollen for a whole circle, and although some medicine has been sprayed, it is estimated that it will not be better in a few months.
Jiang Peng stood beside the old master, looked at Zhou Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed on the side of the small courtyard, sighed, and said, "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." ”
The old master smiled slightly and interrupted Jiang Peng's words: "This is a bad word. It's not too late to make amends, and the prodigal son will not change his money. After this catastrophe, it is unknown whether it will be a blessing or a curse. ”
"The master has a point. Jiang Peng nodded, thinking that what the master said was no problem, and it was good that Zhou Chen could turn back as a prodigal son.
"That said, the situation is not optimistic, we have a lot of wounded, and if we don't get to the hospital in time, it's likely to be worse. The old master said slowly.
Jiang Peng's heart sank suddenly. The old master is right, someone was shot in the leg before, and now Uncle Le's calf was bitten off by Gustav, and Zhou Chen was also injured a lot, if these people don't seek medical attention early, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"The crocodile should have been injured a lot, it's not a big problem, the biggest problem now is the group of mercenaries outside, these guys with weapons, we have to find a way to deal with them. ”
The old master's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded.
"Jiang Peng!" Hearing someone shouting to himself, Jiang Peng turned his head to look, but he didn't expect to involve the wound on his back, and he bent over in pain.
"Jiang Peng, are you okay?" Jiang Yitong hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Jiang Peng, and asked with concern.
"It's okay, it should be a muscle strain on my back, I was hit by a crocodile just now, what's the matter?" Jiang Peng's sore lips trembled.
Jiang Yitong immediately said distressedly: "I hurt my back again? I was also injured before, and the injury is definitely not light now." Saying that, Jiang Yitong suddenly thought that Jiang Peng was injured the first time to save himself, and later he was ...... to him
Thinking of this, Jiang Yitong couldn't help but lower his head.
"There are bandages in the medical room, and the back muscles are strained, so it would be much better to hold them in place. The old master stood aside and suddenly spoke.
"Okay, I see, I'll take a look. Jiang Peng bent down slightly and walked towards the infirmary next to the kitchen.
"I'll help you. Jiang Yitong took two steps forward and followed behind Jiang Peng.
"No need, I'll come by myself, it's really not good, and there are little masters. Seeing Jiang Yitong following behind him, Jiang Peng said with some embarrassment.
"Can you go to your back like this? Foolish dreams! The little masters are busy, how can they have time. After speaking, Jiang Yitong directly took the initiative to pull Jiang Peng into the infirmary.
