Chapter 8: Burns
The life of high school is as dull as boiled water, and he was educated with a stick as a child, and his life in this supposed restless adolescent life is very monotonous. Every day is to go to class, lunch, class, dinner, evening self-study, sleep, and then go back to class. Some classmates will go over the wall in the middle of the night to play games at night, but he has never done it, and some classmates will fall in love without the restlessness of adolescent hormones, and he does not either. My only hobby is listening to songs. There was not a single wave in his life.
He didn't know what his purpose was for studying, but his family wanted him to study hard so that he could find a good job in the future. Xu Daozhi feels that studying is not for his own ideals, and he has no ideals, just to live up to his family's expectations.
In this way, he spent his first year of high school life peacefully, and his final grades were okay, although he did not enter the top ten in the school in the upper reaches of his age, but there were still top 30. The teacher's impression of him is also good, and the reason is that he will not cause anything and his academic performance is good. The campus management is strict, and there is no bullying happening, so his life is dull and stable.
It's September again, the weather is hot and humid, and the second year of Xu Daozhi's high school career has begun. Like his freshman year in high school, he didn't have any entertainment activities except listening to songs, and his study load increased a lot in his sophomore year, and he didn't have time to do any entertainment activities. One afternoon in September, after the afternoon class, Xu Daozhi had dinner as usual, and then went to the water room to fetch hot water for the evening wash. Then go to the evening self-study. But this fetching of water gave him an experience that he will never forget.
After fetching water, Xu Daozhi hummed a little song and began to walk towards his dormitory. Halfway through, Xu Daozhi suddenly felt a light in his left hand holding the water bottle, and then a loud "boom" exploded in his ears, startling his head blank for a while. After a brief moment of distraction, a burning sensation in his left foot brought his feelings back to reality.
The plastic of the hot water bottle fell off, and then the water bottle filled with boiling water smashed directly at Xu Daozhi's feet. The water bottle exploded. A bottle of boiling water splashed directly on Xu Daozhi's feet. In the summer, Xu Daozhi wears sneakers with mesh holes, and when he wears such shoes, it is as if he is not wearing shoes. The boiling water penetrated directly into the shoes and poured onto the instep of Xu Daozhi.
After coming back to his senses, Xu Daozhi couldn't help but be stimulated by the pain, "Ah! A soft shout came out. Then I started to take off my shoes and socks right away. I couldn't help but think that when this time was over, there would definitely be blisters. After taking off his shoes and socks, Xu Daozhi saw that the entire instep and toes of his left foot were red. When you touch it with your hand, a hot pain spreads to your brain.
When Xu Daozhi was in biology class, the teacher taught him how to deal with this situation. Ran barefoot back to the dormitory. The classmates in the dormitory saw Xu Daozhi running back and coming back barefoot and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, this is such a hurry." Still barefoot. Xu Daozhi was very annoyed by the situation on his feet at this time, and he didn't answer much, just said that he was burned.
I took the footbasin and caught a large basin of cold water on the faucet. Then put your feet in the cold water, and at this time the water in the dormitory is still pumped from the school well, so the water is still very cold.
Xu Daozhi put his feet into the footbasin, and was directly cold by the well water. The hot sensation on my feet was finally starting to subside. After Xu Daozhi soaked in this way for more than ten minutes, he felt that his feet had completely cooled off, and the time on the dormitory clock was about to start evening self-study. So he took out his foot, and it was still red. It still hurts when you touch it with your hand. I had the heart to soak for a while, but I had to study at night, and I thought that I didn't do a lot of homework, so I didn't dry my feet, and went to self-study at night with a pair of sandals.
In general, students are not allowed to wear slippers into the classroom, but Xu Daozhi's situation is a bit special. It just so happened that the teacher who watched the evening self-study that day was Xu Daozhi's homeroom teacher Wang Zeshan. He couldn't help frowning when he saw Xu Daozhi wearing slippers for self-study at night. But fortunately, Xu Daozhi's study was not bad, so Wang Zeshan was not very angry in his heart, thinking that there might be a special reason, so he asked: "Xu Daozhi, what's the matter, I came to the school in sandals for self-study last night, thinking that the classroom was your home!?" Xu Daozhi looked at the homeroom teacher and asked, and he didn't have the idea of the protagonist in the novel, thinking that the teacher was targeting him. He replied, "Today, my feet were burned by boiling water, and my instep was burned, so I was worried that the belt would blister, and it hurt to wear shoes." So I came here in slippers, I'm sorry teacher, I didn't call you beforehand to explain. Hearing Xu Daozhi's answer, Wang Zeshan looked at the red on Xu Daozhi's instep. So he nodded and said, "Well, notify me early next time this happens, and go in for self-study." ”
Xu Daozhi entered the classroom and began to do his homework, there was no problem at first, but after the first class, his left foot began to hurt fiercely again. At this time, the classroom was very quiet, Wang Zeshan was sitting on the podium, and there was only the sound of pen and paper rubbing when writing, and the sound of turning books. Xu Daozhi had no choice but to be patient, thinking in his heart, what's going on, why is it starting to hurt again, now everyone is studying seriously, and they can only endure it.
But how long can I endure it? After five minutes, Xu Daozhi couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to know the situation of his left foot, and yes, he looked down at his left foot. Then he saw a scene that scared him. The entire instep of the left foot was covered with blisters, blisters on the toes, and between the toes. It's okay not to look at it, but it makes Xu Daozhi feel weird between his toes. At this time, Xu Daozhi really couldn't pretend that nothing happened, and hurriedly raised his hand.
Wang Zeshan was paying attention to Xu Daozhi at the beginning of the self-study, after all, the student was burned, and he found that there was nothing abnormal in the first class, and he was relieved, but Xu Daozhi was a little wrong in the second self-study class. Wait until he sees Xu Daozhi looking down, and then immediately raises his hand. Immediately walked towards Xu Daozhi. "What's wrong?" he asked. Xu Daozhi pointed and said, "Teacher, my feet are full of blisters and I want to go to the hospital." When the students in the classroom heard this, they immediately became noisy, and the students who got close couldn't help but look over. Seeing this, Wang Zeshan couldn't help but drink: "What are you doing, are you out of class, what do you do, read well." Then Wang Zeshan turned back to Xu Daozhi and said, "You come out and tell me." He walked out of the classroom.
Xu Daozhi followed out of the classroom and into the hallway. Wang Zeshan said: "Does it still hurt?" Xu Daozhi replied: "Well, it hurts hotly, and it's a little uncomfortable." After hearing this, Wang Zeshan said: "Then let's do it, there is no school doctor in the school, and the hospital is relatively far away, I will send you to the hospital to see what is going on, so that you can relax, but now the hospital is estimated to only have a doctor on duty." Tomorrow I will grant you another day off. After you see the school, you contact your family and ask them to take you to the hospital tomorrow. Xu Daozhi couldn't help but be moved when he saw Wang Zeshan caring about him like this, and he wanted to cry for a while, but fortunately he knew that this occasion was not suitable for such an action, so he replied: "Okay, thank you, teacher." ”
After Wang Zeshan drove Xu Daozhi to the hospital, he helped Xu Daozhi register, at this time, as Wang Zeshan said, only the doctor on duty was present, and the doctor on duty looked at Xu Daozhi's feet. Wang Zeshan sent Xu Daozhi back to the dormitory and then went home. Xu Daozhi's roommates expressed their relationship with Xu Daozhi at this time. They all said that there was something to do, but they spoke. Definitely helping.
