29 First Sight and Ambiguity
Lu Sheng was dizzy, his whole body was hot, he had a little difficulty walking, and his body was shaking.
Although it is inappropriate to go to a part-time place with an injury, the time for work is approaching, and Lu Sheng does not want to leave a bad impression on his boss Brother Fan that he is late for work.
He was going to ask Brother Fan for leave tonight. The physical discomfort and the beating made Lu Sheng feel very tired.
Lu Sheng quickened his pace and walked towards the place where he worked.
Seeing the injured Lu Sheng, Brother Fan looked surprised.
"Brother Fan, I'm a little unwell tonight, can I rest for the night tonight? I'll work extra hard tomorrow night. Lu Sheng's voice became hoarse, and his throat seemed to have a foreign body.
"If you don't feel well, go back and rest first, rest first and come back, don't burn your body." Brother Fan looked worried.
"Thank you, Brother Fan, I see." Lu Sheng bent down and bowed to Brother Fan several times.
"Let's go back." Brother Fan patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder a few times and went to get busy.
Lu Sheng put on the hood on the back of his sweatshirt to cover the wound on his face, and then dragged his tired body to the dark alley where he was coming.
Lu Sheng's mind was groggy, his breathing was a little short, his whole body seemed to be completely drained of strength, his feet were as heavy as lead, and he walked from east to west, almost hitting the telephone pole on the side of the alley.
Lu Sheng stopped, raised his forehead and laughed at himself: "The taste of illness is really uncomfortable, so tired......"
He was sleepy.
Lu Sheng leaned his back against the wall, slid down the wall, sat on the ground, and said to himself, "Take a rest first......
Lu Sheng was tired and uncomfortable, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and he felt that his reflexes had become sluggish now, and his brain seemed to have stopped working, and he was tired and tired, so Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes, and he wanted to sleep.
Lu Sheng fell asleep, his upper body sliding down the side of the wall and falling to the ground, unconscious.
The moon hid behind the gray clouds, and the bright moonlight that had been sprinkled in the alleys disappeared at this time, and only the light of the stars flickered and flickered in the night sky.
A few days after Yi Nan came to his uncle's house, he was persuaded by his aunt to take advantage of the summer vacation to find some part-time jobs.
She looked at the fashionable people in the city, looked at the city in all directions, looked at the crowded and busy streets, Yi Nan missed the simple and simple days in the countryside, there was no hustle and bustle of the city, and there were no hurried passers-by.
At noon, I helped my aunt cook lunch, and I ate it hastily, so I told my aunt and grandmother that I was looking for a part-time job, and I might not be able to come back in time to make dinner in the evening.
My aunt nodded in agreement, and said to Yi Nan: "Look carefully, don't wander around, come back soon if you find it." ”
Grandma sent Yi Nan to the door and quietly stuffed fifty yuan for Yi Nan.
Yi Nan refused, but her grandmother still stubbornly stuffed it into Yi Nan's hands.
"Take it, remember to come back early." Grandma had a loving face.
"Mom, what are you talking to Yi Nan about? You tell her to go and come back quickly. "My aunt was having lunch at the table.
Grandma walked into the dining room unhurriedly and said, "Didn't talk about anything." ”
The 50 yuan in his left hand was very hot and warm. Yi Nan closed the door and secretly wiped her moist and sour eyes outside the door.
Yi Nan looks for part-time jobs in shops near her home, but they don't recruit students. In desperation, Yi Nan went further, and unconsciously walked to the high school he was going to study in September this year - City A No. 1 Middle School.
Yi Nan misses the previous high school very much, where there are familiar memories, his own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, his favorite teachers and classmates, as well as Lin Wei and Xia Wenzhu, all of whom are constantly giving up memories and people.
In the vicinity of the high school, there are also many small shops, including stationery shops, snack and fast food shops, milk tea shops, and boutiques.
Yi Nan saw a burger joint across the street from the school. At the entrance of the burger joint, there is a signboard with a job posting: Long-term student recruitment.
As if she saw hope, Yi Nan walked into the burger restaurant with great anticipation.
Coming out of the hamburger joint, Yi Nan raised a big smile, and his heart was overjoyed that he had found a part-time job, and instantly forgot the fatigue of finding the evening from the afternoon.
At this time, his stomach gurgled, and Yi Nan remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet.
is not familiar with life, and Yi Nan is still an out-and-out road idiot.
Yi Nan searched the memory in his mind, which direction did he come here just now?
The hunger pangs in her stomach made Yi Nan unable to think.
As Yi Nan walked, he looked around at the landmarks around him to see if he had any impressions. She walked over to the brightly lit food stall with more than a hundred tables and chairs, and she suddenly remembered that when she passed by this place before, there were not so many tables and chairs.
And now, the tables and chairs are laid out in a row. At night, the food stalls are full of fragrant delicacies, crowds of people, waiters shuttle between tables and chairs to order and serve, shouting, drinking and touching wine glasses, chatting about homely sounds, one after another.
Nightlife, people taste food and talk about life.
Yi Nan suddenly remembered that the alley opposite the food stall had been walked by himself when he came.
The tempting aroma from the food stalls made Yi Nan even more hungry.
The alley had become dim at the moment, with only a faint light in the depths.
Looking at the endless darkness in the alley, Yi Nan was uneasy. Do you want to go down that alley? If you don't leave, where are you going back?
Yi Nan plucked up her courage and walked quickly into the alley.
The alley was silent, and Yi Nan could hear his footsteps and breathing.
Suddenly, Yi Nan heard a rapid breathing, and through the faint light, he saw a person lying on the ground. She stopped in fright, closed her eyes, and touched her restless heart with her hand.
Yi Nan wanted to take a step and escape, but the person in front of him didn't perceive any danger and threat, so he opened his eyes and looked at the person in the dark, it was a boy with a long body, and his legs were slightly curled up at this time.
The boy fell motionless, his head in a cap turned to the side, his cap covering his closed eyes, revealing only the bridge of his nose and thin lips. If it weren't for seeing his chest rise and fall, and hearing his faint and rapid breathing, Enan would have thought he was lifeless.
Isn't he feeling well? Yi Nan is not nervous at all now, but worried.
Yi Nan tiptoed close to the boy, and in the dim light, Yi Nan saw the boy's pale face distorted by pain, thin beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, panting.
Yi Nan panicked, squatted down and wanted to pat his arm, but found that the boy's arm had a few bleeding cuts, she changed the other part of her arm to shoot, and shouted while patting his muscular tense arm: "Are you okay?" Wake up......"
Lu Sheng felt someone patting his arm, the cold touch made him feel a little comfortable, and a girl's voice was calling him. Lu Sheng wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't lift them.
As soon as she touched the boy's arm, there was a burst of heat on Yi Nan's hand, and she hurriedly put her hand on the boy's forehead, repeatedly confirming that the boy was having a fever.
Yi Nan was anxious and at a loss.
Yi Nan immediately ran out of the alley and towards the brightly lit street. When Yi Nan was looking for a part-time job just now, he passed by a pharmacy. This pharmacy is right near the school.
Yi Nan consulted a doctor in the pharmacy, what medicine will reduce fever faster if he has a fever, and the doctor gave Yi Nan some antipyretics. Suddenly, she remembered that the boy's arm was injured, and she also bought some disinfectant, red potion, and a pack of cotton swabs.
Yi Nan paid in a hurry, picked up the bag containing the medicine and ran out of the pharmacy, and the doctor shouted loudly from behind: "Eh, I still want to find you two yuan in change, why did you run away?" ”
Yi Nan couldn't wait, and that boy couldn't wait, she didn't want the disease to torture that boy for so long.
Like a whistling wind, Yi Nan ran down the street, and out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the freezer outside the commissary. Yi Nan stopped running and went into the store to buy two popsicles and a bottle of mineral water at room temperature.
Yi Nan didn't dare to stop for a moment, she was worried that the boy would be too painful and burn out his brain!
Yi Nan ran back to the alley, and the boy was still there. Yi Nan helped the boy up with difficulty, so that the boy was firmly leaning against the wall.
Yi Nan immediately opened the package of the antipyretics, took two of them and put them in the boy's mouth according to the doctor's instructions, then twisted open the mineral water bottle, put the mouth of the bottle to his lips, and said, "Drink the water, drink the medicine and swallow it."
Lu Sheng knew in a daze that someone was feeding him medicine. He felt bitter in his mouth, and when he heard the shout, Lu Sheng opened his mouth, and Yi Nan poured the water into it little by little.
Lu Sheng was very thirsty, and drank most of the water before closing his lips.
Yi Nan put down the mineral water bottle and put the boy down on the ground, she thought it would make him more comfortable.
Yi Nan took the boy's hat off his head. She smelled a smell of blood, and when she looked closer, she found that the boy's face was also injured, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and the wound was stained with coagulated blood. The wounds and blood stains on his face blurred the boy's facial features.
With a fever and skin trauma, how could such a thing happen to him? Yi Nan felt a little sorry for the boy in front of her.
"How are you hurting, do you want to take you to the hospital?" Yi Nan's voice trembled, with a little crying. Tears hazy Yi Nan's eyes.
Lu Sheng tried to open his eyes, and said in a weak voice, "No need, thank you." His eyes widened, trying to see the girl in front of him clearly. Lu Sheng couldn't see the outline of the girl's facial features clearly, and could only see the girl in front of him with a mushroom head with ears.
The alley was so dark that neither of them could see each other clearly.
Yi Nan picked up the plastic bag containing two popsicles, put it on Lu Sheng's forehead, and muttered: "Quickly get rid of the fever, quickly get rid of the fever." ”
The cold touch made most of Lu Sheng's discomfort disappear. After a while, the popsicle began to melt, and water had accumulated inside the plastic bag.
Yi Nan took the popsicle off the boy's forehead, and then she helped the boy treat the wounds on his arm and face, applying disinfectant and then red potion.
Lu Sheng clenched his teeth in pain.
The fever reducers began to work slowly, and the boy was still groggy. Yi Nan touched the boy's forehead and found that it was not as hot as before.
