The three of them waited at the bus stop for a while, but the No. 9 bus had not yet arrived.

"! If it weren't for the delay just now, we wouldn't have been unable to get in the car, and we would have known to cheat him more. Liu Tao scolded impatiently.

"Ah Tao, why don't we take a taxi home. If I go home a little later, I guess my parents will be in a hurry. Zhao Kunjian said.

"Yes." Liu Tao nodded and looked to the left to see if there were any empty taxis passing by. As a result, he happened to see a taxi with the word empty written on it coming up.

He quickly beckoned.

Unexpectedly, when the taxi stopped in front of them, a young man in a black T-shirt opened the door and prepared to go inside.

Liu Tao saw that this was okay, and quickly stepped forward to pat the other party's shoulder, and said, "Hey, I said buddy, do you understand the rules?" Didn't you see that I stopped first? ”

The young man glanced back at him and said lightly, "I have something urgent." You'd better stop another one. ”

"Why? Do we have anything to do? Liu Tao grabbed the other party's shoulder as he spoke.

"I don't know what is alive or dead." The young man's eyes flashed with coldness, grabbed Liu Tao's arm, and directly slammed an elbow into his ribs.

Suddenly, Liu Tao felt a sharp pain in his ribs, and then he felt dizzy and swollen, and slowly fell to the ground.

"Drive, bus station." The young man didn't even look at Liu Tao, who was uncertain about his life and death, and got into the car and said to the taxi driver.

The taxi driver wanted to say a few words, but when he saw that the young man's face was full of anger, he didn't even dare to let out a fart, and drove in the direction of the bus station according to the young man's instructions.

"Ah Tao, wake up!" Zhao Kun and Sun Guang didn't even see how the young man moved, they saw Liu Tao fall to the ground, and couldn't help shouting anxiously.

At this time, Liu Tao had lost his intuition.

"Ah Kun, I'll go find a place to call 120, you stand here and don't move." As soon as Sun Guang finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to run to the phone booth.

As a result, as soon as he turned around, he bumped into an old gentleman.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Sun Guang hurriedly apologized to the other party.

"It's fine." The old gentleman waved his hand and asked, "You are students of the fourth middle school, right?" ”

Sun Guang nodded and said, "Yes." We are students in the third year of high school in No. 4. ”

The old gentleman didn't talk to Sun Guang anymore, and went straight to Liu Tao's side. He squatted down, stretched out three fingers and put them on Liu Tao's wrist, and after a while, he said to Sun Guang, who was standing next to him: "His pulse is very weak, as if he has suffered a very severe internal injury. So you two carry him on your back and follow me to the clinic. I'll help him take a look. ”

After listening to the old man's words, Sun Guang didn't say a word, picked up Liu Tao and left.

Fortunately, the old man's clinic is not very far away. When the old gentleman opened the door, Sun Guang and others entered the house and put Liu Tao on the bed.

The old gentleman took out the acupuncture bag from the cabinet next to him, and there were all kinds of needles in it. Then, he asked Sun Guang and the others to lay Liu Tao's body flat, and then lifted his shirt.

As a result, he found that Liu Tao's Zhangmen acupoint had obvious signs of swelling and bruising.

"Did he just fight someone else?" The old gentleman asked as he touched the swollen area with his hand.

"No, I don't. We were waiting for the bus just now, but the bus never came, so we tried to stop a taxi. Unexpectedly, a young man got into the car before us, and Ah Tao was angry, so he wanted to reason with him. When Sun Guang said this, he suddenly slapped his head and said, "I remembered." The young man seemed to have made a move just now, but the speed was too fast for me to see clearly. ”

After listening to his words, the old gentleman nodded and said, "That's right." His Zhangmen acupoint had obviously been hit hard. So, you two come and hold his hand, and I'll help him dissolve the swollen meridians. ”

Sun Guang and Zhao Kun immediately complied.

The old gentleman took out a silver needle of about seven inches and pierced it on Liu Tao's Zhangmen acupoint, and slowly rotated it in little by little. When the silver needle was about two inches in, Liu Tao slowly woke up and shouted weakly: "Ah Kun, Ah Guang, where are you?" ”

"Ah Tao, you're finally awake." Hearing Liu Tao's shout, Sun Guang hurriedly said.

"Ah Guang, is that you? Why can't I see anything? Liu Tao waved his hands and shouted very excitedly.

"Can't see? What's going on? Ah Tao, take a good look, I'm right in front of you! Sun Guang simply put his face directly in front of Liu Tao.

"It was pitch black in front of my eyes, there was nothing." Liu Tao replied.

"Grandpa, what's going on? How so? Sun Guang looked at the old gentleman who was applying the needle and asked very anxiously.

"It doesn't matter. He may have been injured too badly in the Zhangmen acupoint, so the blood supply to the guide's eyes was insufficient. You must know that the Zhangmen acupoint is one of the twelve acupoints of the Liver Meridian, and this acupuncture point produces swelling, and the entire Liver Meridian cannot function normally. The liver is the main eye, and the eyes are naturally affected. In this way, you continue to press his arm and ask him not to move, and I will continue to apply the needle to see if I can open up the acupuncture points that have been blocked. However, because his blockage is relatively strict, the length of the needle may be more than five inches, and I don't know if he can survive it. The old gentleman couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

"Doctor, don't worry. I'm sure I can endure it, so you can be bold and administered. Before Sun Guang and Zhao Kun could react, Liu Tao had already spoken.

"If you really can't stand it, just tell me and we can take a break." As soon as the old gentleman finished speaking, he continued to rotate the silver needle.

With the passage of time, the silver needle slowly entered Liu Tao's body. When the silver needle exceeded four inches, Liu Tao's forehead was already covered with sweat, and the green tendons on his arms and forehead had burst out.

"Is it okay?" The old gentleman looked at Liu Tao, who was soaking wet, and asked with pity on his face. Many of today's students are only seedlings in their families, pampered, and few can withstand such intense pain. Liu Tao's performance in this regard made him feel very satisfied.

At this time, Liu Tao was already suffering and wanting to die. He bit his lip and didn't dare to speak, just nodded vigorously.

The old gentleman shook his head and continued to administer the needle. When the silver needle was close to five inches, Liu Tao's entire body was constantly twisting, and it was already in extreme pain.

Seeing this, the old gentleman was ruthless and quickly rotated the silver needle twice. Then, Liu Tao finally couldn't bear the intense pain caused by the acupuncture, screamed twice and fainted again.

"Grandpa, if it doesn't work, I think I'd better send it to the hospital, right?" Sun Guang was a little worried.

The old gentleman didn't speak, but just stretched out three fingers to check Liu Tao's pulse. After finishing the pulse, his originally frowning brows slowly relaxed, and he smiled at Zhao Kun and the two: "His meridians have been opened." Wait a while and he'll wake up. While he is unconscious, you can help him wipe his body so that he doesn't get cold for a while. ”

Zhao Kun and Sun Guang heard that Liu Tao was fine, so they quickly found a towel to wipe Liu Tao's sweat.

As the old gentleman expected, in less than twenty minutes, Liu Tao slowly opened his eyes.

"Tao, can you see me clearly now?" Sun Guang asked, leaning his face in front of Liu Tao.

"My day, stay away from me. Did you wash your face in the morning? How can there be eye droppings in the corners of the eyes? Liu Tao sat up as he spoke.

"Eyedroppings? How did I not know? Sun Guang took off his glasses and picked at his eyes. As a result, there was nothing, and he opened his mouth and scolded: "Damn, you fool me!" ”

Liu Tao didn't talk to him anymore, and said to the old gentleman: "Grandpa, thank you." ”

The old gentleman smiled and said, "What is the effort of raising your hands. I can't imagine that you have such a strong tolerance at such a young age, it's not easy. Well, it's not early, so hurry home so that your parents don't worry. ”

"Goodbye, old man! I'll see you tomorrow! Liu Tao grabbed his schoolbag and waved goodbye to the old man.

"Okay, be careful on the road." The old gentleman instructed.

After leaving the clinic, the three quickly flagged down a taxi and came to the door of the municipal party committee compound.

After paying the fare, Liu Tao and the three got out of the car and walked to the door.

"Dad, you haven't gotten off work yet?" When he walked to the communication room, Zhao Kun looked inside through the window of the communication room, and saw that his father was at work, so he hurriedly said hello.

"Well, I'm on duty tonight. How did you three come back? Didn't go out and make trouble, did you? Zhao Kun's father walked out of the communication room as he spoke.

"Nope. Today is the third of our shifts, so we came back a little late. Liu Tao replied first.

"That's right. Okay, you guys hurry up and go home, I guess the family is in a hurry. These kids are really uncomfortable. Zhao Kun's father waved his hand and turned back to the communication room.

The three of them glanced at each other, talking and laughing, and walked inside.

Soon, they came to the front of an old four-story building. This building is also called the Bachelor Building, which is specially designed to provide accommodation for bachelors working in public institutions. However, due to the problems of national policies, many staff members who are married and have children do not have a house to live in, so they live here with their families.

Zhao Kun's father was a gatekeeper of the municipal party committee, and Sun Guang's father was a driver for the public security bureau and drove for the deputy director of the public security bureau. As for Liu Tao's father, he is a driver of the Science and Technology Commission. All in all, the employees who live here are basically the bottom employees of public institutions.
