Chapter 99: Restlessness
There were four small tin buckets filled with water in the corner of the warehouse, and Zhuo Wu watched them stand motionless for more than 5 minutes. Once upon a time, a month ago, to be exact, he could lift them all up without blinking an eye, and walk in circles along the walls of the warehouse. But since leaving the ill-fitting hospital bed and volunteering to terminate White Snake's round-the-clock care, he was stunned to find that he could no longer lift them. At first, he could only lift a bucket in his hands, not even the white snake, he thought it was because of the initial recovery of his illness. For nearly two weeks, he tried every two days, and he could only carry a bucket in one hand. He felt a great panic.
Carrying water is a basic quality training for martial arts practitioners like him, and Li Wei used it to hone his body and mind when he was a child, before his master in the village taught him martial arts moves. After becoming the secretary of Director Zhang, Zhuo Wu began to lose weight and keep fit, and lifting water was also one of the exercises he recovered, and he used a bigger bucket and more water than this. Now he didn't dare to imagine that he wouldn't be able to even achieve such a basic exercise.
Suddenly, Zhuo Wu took a step forward, grabbed the handles of two buckets in his left and right hands, and gritted his teeth to mention them. "Ahh
As for the weakening of his own strength, in the warehouse life of about a month, Zhuo Wu has been aware of some details of his movements. But he firmly believes that it is temporary, due to injury and long bed rest. Once he gets out of the sickbed and stands up, with the help of skillful and systematic exercises, he can quickly return to the level before he was bedridden. It's a pity that reality played a cruel joke on him. Yes, maybe it's temporary, but who knows when?
"You...... You'd better take a break. "There's someone behind him, and it's very close!" This gentle and somewhat timid word of concern was like a hammer, and it struck another merciless blow to Zhuo Wu's heart: not only was his physical strength greatly weakened, but even his keen vigilance was lost. The only consolation was that the voice was too familiar, at least not from the mouth of the person who had come to attack him.
Zhuo Wu turned around and squeezed out an awkward smile at the white snake: "Ah, ha, it's you." I'm fine, one accidentally ......" "Your shoes are soaked," White Snake looked at his feet, "Go into the house and change." ”
Back in his room, Takugo violently tore off his shoes and pulled off his socks. The white snake also wanted to ask if he wanted her to help him wash and scrub it, but Zhuo Wu ran to the toilet with swift steps with his shoes and socks on his slippers - he still has the strength to do this kind of work!
The white snake followed him to the toilet and advised, "Soak it and wash it." Zhuo Wu knew that she had something to say to herself, so he silently accepted her suggestion. The two returned to the house and sat down, Zhuo Wu said: "Thank you for your concern, I am very good, I can take care of myself, you don't have to come to see me all the time, you have to take a suburban bus all the way over." You also rest more, recharge your energy, maybe one day Yugong will give the task down. "I'm here today half to see how you're doing, and half to tell you...... Anyway, I won't be able to see you for a while. "Oh, why do you say that? Is something wrong?"
The white snake paused for a "hmm" before saying, "It's the 'forbidden land'." There may be a new situation in Dayangtun, and Yugong is ready to take us there again. "'We'?" refers to all 'colleagues', or ......" "The foolish man takes the lead, taking me and Dante with him. "What about me...... How many of us? I mean me, Xingtian, Jane Eyre......" "You three stay in Beijing. Jane Eyre is in charge of liaising with Yugong and the two of you, and is in charge of matters on the Beijing side. Before Yu Gong made new arrangements, Xing Tian continued his shift in the vegetable market, and you did the same, and after resting, you went back to the printing house to do your secretarial work. ”
Zhuo Wu unconsciously clenched his fists, but they were not as tight as before. "Did the foolish man teach you to inform me?" he asked. "No, the Foolish Guild officially informed everyone this afternoon. These are what Xing Tian told me, and he and Yu Gong had been discussing this matter last night. ”
Stayed in Beijing and worked as a secretary. I don't have to be on duty on time! Director Zhang gave me an excuse so that I didn't have to stay in the printing house. As far as they are concerned, except for Yugong, who has a little skill, she and Yiming...... What if you run into that group of masked men again? Alas, Xingtian won't take me with him if he can't leave, does the foolish man think that I am unusable? Zhuo Wu didn't say a word, his brows furrowed. White Snake only said that he was worried about the three of them, but he didn't know what words to say to comfort him.
Neither Zhuo Wu nor White Snake knew that in order to wait for Zhuo Wu, Yu Gong postponed his plan to go to Dayangtun Village again. After walking out of Shiheng's sales office, Yu Gonghuo shouted anxiously to rush over as soon as possible. However, he had not lost his cool head, and soon realized that in the current situation, there was no need for Jane Eyre to go with him, and it would be difficult for Xingtian to go with him again. And the two team members he could bring with him, Dante was a scholar, and White Snake was not good at fighting, and her broken leg had just recovered. In this way, the absence of a member with strong fighting ability will indeed lay a hidden danger for this trip full of unknowns and uncertainties. Therefore, he dispelled the idea of returning to Dayangtun Village immediately, and first asked Elder Zhang and his family to provide him with a detailed report on Zhuowu's physical condition. The afternoon before yesterday, that is, the sixth day after "Mr. Jia" visited the sales office of Shiheng, Director Zhang invited his "big customer" to Dongyuan to discuss "cooperation matters in the next quarter".
The "big customer" came with tea sets and tea leaves as usual, but when he entered the small room, he put them aside and did not move. "How is he?" asked Yu Gong bluntly. Seeing Director Zhang shaking his head, Yugong got the answer painfully in his heart.
"According to what you said, in order not to undermine his confidence, we didn't take him directly to the hospital for a full set of physical examinations, but only measured him bits and pieces to measure some necessary values, more to observe and evaluate his daily activities, I don't think he saw that we were monitoring his physical functions. "Thank you, I'm sure you've done a good enough job of being covert. What about his specific situation?" "By the standards of your martial arts experts or fighters, in terms of his fitness, strength, speed, and reflexes, he is not qualified right now. Sun Yan said that if this was his patient, she would never allow him to take risks. "Then when will he be able to turn back into that lively Zhuo Wu?" "This ......," Director Zhang apologized, "neither of us dared to pack tickets." Hearing this, Yugong smacked his lips and said for a long time: "The situation is already very urgent, and the matter of going to Dayangtun cannot be delayed any longer." It seems that this time we will have to avoid the wounded as we talked about at that time, and we will have to avoid possible fist and foot clashes, or at least the two young men. ”
"I want to tell you," White Snake felt a little lifeless that neither of them spoke, so he mustered up the courage to say to Zhuo Wu, "I may miss you when I get to Dayangtun this time." "Uh, huh, yes? I...... I will too. "Really?" "Really. I mean, without me and Xingtian, you might have met those masked bastards again. I'm worried about you, I'm more worried about you than I'm about you than I am about Fool and Dante. "Really?" "Anyway, you must protect yourself," Zhuo Wu said, bowing his head, "Don't follow up against Neo?" Bay seemed to be so badly injured. ”
The white snake did not respond, and when Zhuo Wu looked up, he saw that her face was wrong, his left hand touched his chest, and his right hand clenched his fist against his mouth, but he still heard her heavy gasp.
"Oops, you...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't go to your heart! You sit down, do you want to lie down, lie down here!" He tried to help her to bed, but she stretched out her left arm and told him not to come. Half a minute later, her breathing gradually calmed down, her face was a little bloody again, and the beads of sweat on her forehead had slid down her cheeks. Zhuo Wu hurriedly grabbed the tissue on the bedside and pumped it to her: "I'm sorry, I was talking nonsense." "No, you...... What do they love to say? Oh yes, it's a wake-up call. Thanks for the reminder. The white snake wiped his sweat, got up and said, "I'll go back and prepare for nothing first, you have a good rest." ”
Looking at the petite back of the white snake getting farther and farther away, Zhuo Wu only felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. From the early hours of the morning in the wilderness yourself with Neo? During the decisive battle of Bay, he forgot to help each other, to act as his girlfriend in front of his parents in Chinese New Year's Eve, to the careful care of himself 24 hours a day for several weeks after he was stunned by the powder, the heart of the white snake can be experienced by a nerd like Dante who has no emotional experience, not to mention Zhuo Wu, who has experienced the joys and frustrations of youthful love! However, it is precisely because of this experience that Zhuo Wu is more cautious about treating White Snake. "If you are obsessed with your ex-girlfriend and you can't reconcile, it's easy to hastily transfer your feelings to another woman in order to get rid of her shadow. This woman may be more incompatible with you, but in order to reject your ex-girlfriend, you don't have to think about it carefully, so you start a new relationship with her hastily. He still remembers Xingtian's admonition on the night he monitored Lu Haibo, and he feels that he now understands Xingtian's meaning. To be honest, Xiaoping's figure would occasionally break into his dreams or the predicament in his waking mind, and he couldn't tell if he had completely dumped her psychologically. Developing a relationship with the White Snake in this situation is not only disrespectful to the White Snake, but also if you don't control your emotions well and let Xiaoping's shadow envelop you, it will undoubtedly bring great harm to the White Snake. "'boyfriend' was a disastrous word for her. Zhuo Wu also remembered Xingtian's words that night, and Xingtian also said that it was her first boyfriend who led her into the fire pit, but he did not explain the details to Zhuo Wu. In this case, Zhuo Wu can't fall in love with a "colleague" lightly, otherwise the slightest carelessness will cause an insignificant wound between the two of them, or even between the members of the group.
In order to get rid of his emotional troubles, Zhuo Wu shifted his thoughts to being left in Beijing by Yugong. As the leader of the foul team, Yu Gong has always been objective and fair in handling official affairs, and at the same time, he also takes care of the feelings and feelings of the members on this basis. So he won't take himself with him this time, does it mean that he will never be used again? For the first time since joining the group, Li Wei has regained the idea that he is a waste.
