132. The first step
This is a place three hundred miles away from Qingyun Town, as far as the eye can see, it is full of depression, the bare trees are gently swaying in the cold wind, the cicadas have long been silenced, the birds have also flown south, and even the beasts have hidden.
On the avenue, a man walked out with a long sword on his shoulder, and the blood-colored sunset pulled a long shadow behind him.
An ox cart stopped next to him, and the driver looked at the man curiously, he didn't look very old, but he had a scruffy beard on his face, how long had he not cleaned himself up?
His clothes were fine, but they were wrinkled everywhere, and he looked embarrassed, and he looked straight ahead, but he had no focus. He's like a wandering ghost, I don't know why, but a very handsome man makes himself so embarrassed.
"Do you rent a car or not? There is no shop in front of the village, and the road is difficult to walk. The coachman kindly solicited him for business. The coachman's eyes were focused on the sword at his shoulder, the fine scabbard was made of crocodile skin, and the key was the sparkling jewels set in the hilt. With such a scabbard, needless to say, the sword in that scabbard must also be excellent.
The man glanced at him, without saying a word, but turned over and sat in the carriage, perhaps he was tired and really wanted to rest.
"Where are the guest officers going?" The coachman asked.
The man frowned, and his lips moved: "Whatever." ”
"Whatever?" The driver looked back in surprise, can this be casual? The vast Tianyuan Dynasty has a radius of thousands of kilometers, where is this sentence going?
When the coachman asked again, the man had already closed his eyes and ignored the coachman.
The coachman sighed helplessly, what a strange man, but in order to make a good profit, he decided to gallop south, as much as he could. If he can't afford to pay for it, he will pay off his sword, and the gem will be dazzling.
Chu Yu closed his eyes, he really didn't seem to have rested for a long time. Why? Why did I search all the places within a hundred miles of Qingyun Town, but I couldn't find any trace of that person. He rummaged through almost every inch of land, even ants could find it, how could he not find such a large living person?
He was almost desperate, could it be that something happened to her? As soon as he thought of this, his heart tangled into a tangle, and there were bursts of throbbing pain.
A weak woman, a missing weak woman, where can she go? He asked himself countless times, but there was never an answer. He didn't believe that she was dead, she was so smart, how could she say that she would die?
But he really lost his direction, the vast Tianyuan, where is the place where he should go?
**
At this moment, Xie Qingyu, who was in the Xie family's mansion, looked at the woman in front of him coldly. His handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and the woman had a new trick. He wasn't used to this new variety of guys, and he hated everything that was out of his control.
"What is this?" He stared coldly at the thing in her hand.
"Crutches, haven't seen this yet?" Ning Su said in surprise.
He didn't like her self-righteous appearance, and her surprise seemed to reflect his ignorance.
"Crutches?" Xie Qingyu looked at the strangely shaped thing in front of him with contempt, this complex structure was made of at least three or four pieces of wood, and the top was wrapped in a round shape with soft cotton. The crutch he had ever seen was nothing more than a piece of wood. Where has he seen this modern version of a crutch?
"Let's try." Ning Su said excitedly, "This is what I spent a day doing yesterday." ”
Xie Qingyu squinted at this thing, he didn't know how to use it at all. He seemed to be disdainful of this thing, but in fact he was afraid that he would lose face in front of this girl.
"I'll show you." Ning Su supported the wood below with one hand, and the other horizontal log was sandwiched under the armpit, so it was very convenient to borrow strength, she walked a few steps, and said: "I also made a small mechanism, which can adjust the height of this crutch according to the height of the person, which is very convenient." "She used to love DIY, but she didn't expect it to work now.
Xie Qingyu frowned, looking at the so-called crutch, what was she going to do? Want him to stand up? All he knew was that his leg had improved now, but standing up and walking? He hadn't thought about it. Can a person who hasn't stood up for ten years say he can stand up when he says he can stand up?
"Give it a try!" Ning Su said that after her diagnosis, she felt that he could try to stand, and if he didn't have the courage to stand up, then he could only sit for the rest of his life.
Xie Qingyu shook his head and said disdainfully, "What are you kidding?" Finding happiness is not your way of looking for it. He turned around, looked at the book in his hand, and ignored her.
Ning Su's face gradually turned cold, and she looked at him sarcastically: "The lord's book has been taken down." ”
Xie Qingyu fixed his eyes, uh......
His book was really taken down, his face darkened, and he reprimanded: "Who is this son, he can read books upside down, don't you know?" ”
Ning Su said angrily: "I have heard people say that the lord is rich and rivals the country, how the lord is brave and invincible in the shopping mall, how the lord is rich and how the wealth of the lord is spelled out, and now, don't you have the courage to face your legs?" If the lord is willing to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, well, then I really have nothing to say! If you want to be a coward, then be a coward for the rest of your life! With that, she turned and walked out of his bedroom, without looking back.
"Smack!" , he heard a powerful closing of the door outside.
Xie Qingyu threw down the book in his hand and said hatefully: "Damn! This girl actually dares to teach this son a lesson?! What a leopard gall! ”
His gaze rested on the crutch, his dark eyes heavy and thoughtful.
After a long time, he sat up, slowly stretched out his hand, and felt for the crutch.
The crutches gave off a faint scent of wood, and on the thin layer of cotton wrapped around the crutches, there was a strip of cyan satin, and the satin stitches were so fine that it could be seen that she had sewn it with a needle and a thread.
He tried it, tucking the cane under his armpit, and the place where it was wrapped in thin cotton was comfortable and did not cling to the flesh.
But stand up......
He stretched out his leg and held it on the ground, which seemed so weak compared to his strong, powerful upper limbs.
He is a person with internal strength, because he started practicing when he was a teenager, so even after he lost his leg, he still did not discard it.
Sinking his mind, he sank into the dantian, causing his breath to flow towards his legs.
Although it was difficult and with a strong sense of pain, after the severe pain, he miraculously found that his qi and blood were really going down to his legs, all the way to the soles of his feet, gaining some strength.
He opened his eyes happily and looked at his feet, maybe he could really try to get up and try.
He looked at the door, there was no one at the door, the door was closed, and he didn't have to worry about being laughed at.
Supporting the table with one hand and crutches with the other, he propped his body off the bed little by little.
He's up! He's really up!
This crutch gave him a fulcrum, and it turned out to be very useful.
He took a closer look, and there was indeed a small mechanism on the crutch, and he adjusted the crutch a little higher, just right for his height.
He actually stood up with the help of a cane.
His eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, for the first time in ten years, he had tried this kind of vision of standing up and looking at the room, and perhaps, he could not only stand up and see the room, but even stand up and see the world!
Xie Qingyu couldn't wait, greedily wanting to take the first step, however, as soon as his leg stepped out, a sharp pain hit him, and his eyes flickered, "Hula!" With a bang, the whole person fell forward and fell heavily to the ground.
It was the first time he had fallen so painfully and so hard since he grew up, and it hurt so much that tears were almost rolling in his eyes.
Frustration hit him hard in the heart, he couldn't walk, he still couldn't walk, he couldn't walk in his life! He was lying on the ground, and he was simply a waste! I'm a waste for the rest of my life! The despair of self-pity came back to my heart, just as it had been for ten years.
At this time-
"Stand up!" A cold voice rang in my ears. He looked up, and at some point, the bad girl was already standing in front of him, watching his joke.
He noted, however, that there was no smile on her face, but rather a serious one like an old pedant.
"Stand up!" Ning Su repeated this sentence.
He hated being given orders to him, but, for some reason, the voice made him really try to stand up.
She stood by and watched coldly, not helping him.
When Xie Qingyu stood up, his feet hurt terribly, and drops of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
He still stood up, squinting at the bad girl in front of him.
"Keep walking!" She said coldly.
Xie Qingyu's eyes widened, almost angry.
He was going to throw the crutch away, leaving it still on the bad girl's face, didn't she see that he was almost fainting in pain?
"Today, I just need you to take the first step." She said on the sidelines, with no intention of stepping forward to help.
His thick black eyebrows were deeply tangled and frowned.
One-step? Sounds simple. Can't he even take a step?
He slowly lifted his feet, but he was a little afraid of the sharp pain that would follow.
"Lift your legs, go!" Ning Su commanded.
He really raised his legs, walked, and then, took the first step, and just when he was about to fall, Ning Su had already stepped forward to hold his arm, and he didn't fall.
"Congratulations, my lord, you have started walking!" Ning Su's face showed joy.
Xie Qingyu couldn't believe his ears, he looked down at his feet, that's right, just now, he actually took the first step, the first step in ten years!
He froze, and then a cloud of joy began to beat in his heart, and that joy was like a fog, thicker and thicker, bigger and bigger, and gradually diffuse......
