Chapter 4 Encountering Sick on the Road

According to the usual practice, Xu Ze has not gone to work in the clinic on weekends in the past six months, and he usually rushes home to help in the past two days, which is why his salary has always been 800 yuan.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ze was sweating profusely and pedaling the half-old bicycle "creak, creak" slowly, and the back of the thin purple sweatshirt jacket on his body had begun to appear faint wet marks, not to mention the tender green T-shirt inside!

Laboriously looking up at the boundary marker on the side of the road that reads: 802, "It's almost there!" Xu Ze took a deep breath, raised his eyebrows, and secretly encouraged himself in his heart: "It's fast, it's fast, it's only twenty kilometers, hold on a little longer, and you'll be home soon!" ”

I gave myself a boost like this, and it seemed that my strength had regained a bit, and the speed of the bike gradually increased!

With Xu Ze's movement, somewhere in his mind, a strange program was also running rapidly, and strings of information emerged from time to time: "Bioelectric charging accelerates, the energy saturation of the system reaches 10%, and the system recovery ......"

It's just that Xu Ze didn't feel any of this, he just continued to work hard to ride forward.

After riding like this for a while, the good times didn't last long, but after continuing to ride for five or six kilometers, Xu Ze began to feel as if he had been pinched by the neck, and he began to get angry again, and his legs were as heavy as lead, and he didn't have much strength at all.

"Sure enough, I still can't hold it!" Several beads of crystal sweat slowly slid down his cheeks and dripped gently from his slightly pointed chin, dripping on the ground of the concrete road and stirring up a trace of dust. Xu Ze sighed lightly, looking at a small slope in front of him, but he didn't give up at all, he had been riding on this road for more than half a year, he knew very well that if he got off the bike now, he was afraid that it would be more difficult to support it when he went uphill later.

"From the first day I decided to challenge cycling home to today, from the first halfway break seven or eight times, it took three hours to get home, to about two hours now, I am no worse than some long-term cycling enthusiasts, and I have persisted on this road for more than half a year; Today's small slope, of course, will not be able to stop me! I'm sure I'll be able to rush up! Xu Ze secretly cheered himself up, didn't care about the sweat that flowed down his eyes and stabbed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to sprint towards the top of the slope with all his strength.

"Whew... Whew... Xu Ze opened his mouth wide and gasped for breath, it was obvious that his thighs had begun to tremble slightly, but he still did not stop at all, his eyes were full of determination, and his feet continued to walk forward slowly but firmly.

"Tick... The energy overflow increases, and the charge continues to accelerate..."

After persisting like this for more than ten seconds, Xu Ze, whose entire back was completely drenched, finally appeared at the top of the small slope, stopped with great effort, landed on tiptoe, and breathed in the not so fresh air on the road.

Although he rushed up victoriously, but feeling the weakness of his legs and the soreness of his whole body, Xu Ze looked at the distance that was only a dozen kilometers but still seemed a little long, and sighed secretly, his physical strength was still not enough, and he had exercised for more than half a year, but he still couldn't support it;

Although after persisting for a few months, he has become accustomed to such a long-distance ride back and forth once a week, but the physical exertion still makes him a little overwhelmed, after all, he has already ridden from Star City to Liuhe City in an hour and a half, and the journey is at least 40 kilometers.

And this car is still four years ago, when Xu Ze was in high school in Liuhe City, he bought an ordinary mountain bike that cost only 300 yuan, after four years of training, although this mountain bike has survived to this day under Xu Ze's careful care, but it has already been a little overwhelmed.

However, Xu Ze has never been willing to sell it, after all, if he wants to buy a new one, it will cost at least four or five hundred yuan, but he is reluctant!

Standing at the top of the slope, he reached out and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and after the rapid breathing finally calmed down a little, Xu Ze reached out and took out the mineral water bottle from the tripod, shook the water bottle gently, and looked at the little water left in it, but he was glad that he didn't need to buy water anymore.

He poured two sips of water from his head and drank the few sips of water left in the bottle, reluctantly looked at the empty water bottle, and carefully put the water bottle back on the tripod; Then he took out three extremely delicate chocolates from his trouser pocket, looked at them, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

These chocolates were given to him by Zhang Linyun a long time ago, and she deliberately left a few to replenish her strength when she went home to ride, but now they are no longer human.

Carefully shoved one of them back into his pocket, then tore open the coffee-colored packaging of the remaining two, sniffed the sweet rich fragrance, and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva; These two pieces of chocolate will be in the pocket for a long time, and at this time they have begun to deform a little, but for Xu Ze, this is still a very good thing, it tastes good and can replenish physical strength.

After chewing it slowly, feeling that the sweetness of the chocolate had melted on his tongue and was gradually absorbed, Xu Ze reluctantly swallowed it.

The sweaty T-shirt was sticky against his back at this time, Xu Ze took off his sweatshirt jacket, tied a knot on his neck with his sleeves, and then pulled the back of the T-shirt and shook it, letting the sweat on his wet back dry a little, and then shook the muscles of his legs fiercely, relaxed his muscles slightly, and then stepped on the bicycle and continued to ride forward slowly.

After having two chocolates to replenish his strength, his confidence was much stronger, and the corners of his mouth began to show a faint smile again: "The next part of the road should not be too hard!" ”

Using chocolate to supplement physical strength is indeed a good method, at least much better than the toffee that Xu Ze used before, but after a short ride, Xu Ze felt that his already weak legs began to have some strength, and the whole person felt a lot more relaxed, and the next section should not be too difficult.

The next journey was very smooth, but in less than twenty minutes, the town was already in sight, Xu Ze mustered his strength, and was about to ride home in one go, but suddenly heard a group of people rushing out of the roadside not far ahead.

Ding Qing looked around, only to see five or six people clustered around an old man with a half-grown child on his back, hurriedly running towards a three-wheeled motorcycle in front of him. And an old woman and a woman in her thirties next to her were crying and running after her, shouting as they ran: "My baby army, you don't have anything to do... If you have something, how can I live with your mother......"

Seeing the child lying on the old man's back, silently, Xu Ze's eyes flashed a trace of sentimentality, sighed softly, and said secretly: "Look at this appearance, I'm afraid it's ......" At the moment, without thinking about it again, he continued to ride the car and continued to move forward.

Getting closer and closer, and at this time, the old man also ran to the three-wheeled motorcycle with the child on his back, put the child in the motorcycle compartment, and was about to urge the motorcycle driver to hurry away, but after glancing at the child who had been silent in the carriage, his face suddenly turned dark, and he stretched out his hand to touch the child's nostrils in a panic.

Seeing the old man's movements, the faces of the few people around him also sank, and the old woman and the woman behind were all frightened and silent at this time, covering their mouths, their faces were pale, waiting for the old man's reaction.

The old man trembled his fingers, touched two handfuls in the nostrils of the child, and suddenly his face turned miserable, two lines of turbid tears flowed down his cheeks, and he turned his head tremblingly to look at the old woman and woman behind him, and said in a trembling voice: "Jun, I'm afraid it's gone......"

"......Uhh

The rest of the men, all pale, stepped forward to take a look at the child's completely bruised face, while the other hesitated and stretched out a finger to shake it at the nostril, then shook his head and sighed in agreement.

The old man wiped away his tears and was about to carry the child off the car, but the woman who fell to the ground next to him suddenly got up again, hugged the child in the carriage, and cried loudly: "No, no, my little army will not be gone like this!" ”

While turning his head to look at the old man, he cried: "Dad, Xiaojun won't just disappear like this, we must save him, we must save him......"

The old man shook his head helplessly, wiped away his tears, and persuaded helplessly: "Jinhua, Xiaojun is not even angry, there are still six or seven miles to the hospital here, even if it is too late to save it!" ”

"No, Dad, you save him, save him...... I don't want him to die! At this time, the woman also knew that the child was basically hopeless, but she still didn't want to accept this fact, and she hugged the child but refused to get out of the car.

Everyone looked at the woman's appearance, and they all felt sad and helpless, a good child suddenly disappeared, and no one could accept such a thing.

Xu Ze had already ridden to the front at this time, and when he heard the woman's sad cry, he also sighed secretly in his heart, said pity, and planned to move on.

It's just that at this time, he was inadvertently seen by a person on the side, and when he saw Xu Ze passing by, this person was happy in his eyes, and hurriedly shouted to Xu Ze: "Aze, Aze, don't go, come and see!" ”
