Chapter 23: Serious Injuries
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the breeze is soft, and the fragrance of flowers is bursting. On a summer morning after a long absence, the sun was already shining through the window. Lu Jingzhi knew that if he didn't get up again, his mother's feather duster would tell him to get up. He remembered a joke he made when he was a child, it was in the second grade Chinese class, the teacher gave everyone a riddle: What has beautiful feathers and wakes us up every morning? Only Lu Jingzhi replied loudly: Feather duster. Because of this, his classmates and teachers laughed at him for a long time, so that he refused to answer the teacher's questions for almost half a month.
Mom didn't come, it was Dad who pushed open the door and came in. Seeing his father, Lu Jingzhi suddenly felt very aggrieved and wanted to say everything, but he was afraid that his father would be impatient to listen to him, so he bit his lower lip and endured it.
Dad sat down. In Lu Jingzhi's memory, he was lying on the bed while his father was sitting on the bed looking at him, and this situation could be counted with one hand. His eyes were foggy, and the father who was busy preparing classes and writing handouts all day also loved his children.
Dad didn't seem to see his open eyes, but just looked at his sleeping appearance lovingly, looked at him for a while, and then got up and walked away. He quickly called his father, wanting him to continue to accompany him.
Dad went back to the bedside and sat down, and he muttered that he wanted to tell him about his nightmares, and he gladly said he wanted to hear them.
So he started from the beginning, he dreamed that he had a classmate who was very good at fighting, and he dragged himself to CD City to play, but he fell into an ancient well, and followed another classmate's sister to let the zombies take him. When those zombies heard that they were very capable, they asked themselves to be military advisors for them, collecting taxes and fighting wars. I've done a lot of things that ordinary people can't do.
"Are zombies scary?" asked Dad casually, he was always cynical about these things, remembering that there was a game called "Plants vs. Zombies", and he sarcastically said that if zombies were buried in the soil, the plants would absorb them in a few years, and it would be impossible to get out. But this time, he actually followed his dream and asked, which made Lu Jingzhi very happy.
"Scary. Lu Jingzhi replied honestly. He remembered that when he first arrived at the bottom of the ancient well, the ghost soldiers he saw were all pale, their skin was broken, and black blood was oozing in some places.
"What's a ghost?" Dad seemed to be patient, "and, aren't they all zombies?
"The ghost pawn is a profession, the equivalent of our human soldiers. Lu Jingzhi excitedly explained to his father that the ghost clan itself is not called the ghost clan, they claim to be undead. Humans call them ghosts. Whether it is a ghost pawn, a ghost people, or a ghost rider, they are all contemptuous names for them by humans. Kind of like ...... The undead in the game. Dad used to take him to play some computer games, in which there were undead, and some were called zombies or undead. It's all the same thing anyway.
The father and son sat and the other lay down, chatting for most of the day, and the smell of vegetables wafted from the kitchen. This is the Sunday lunch made by my mother: rotten pork belly stewed in the pressure cooker, fragrant and sticky white rice stewed in the rice cooker, steamed osmanthus fish in the stainless steel steamer, peanuts fried and dried in the morning, a bowl of cold mung bean paste, and soft spiced broad beans sold by the old man outside, a plate of shredded green onions mixed with bean skin, and soup simmered on the stove......
Lu Jingzhi took a deep breath, wanting to smell the fragrance in the air carefully, his chest ached, and the whole person was out of breath. It was also dark in front of him, the desk, chair, lamp, bed, walls, and windows in the house were all blurred, and the father still looked at him so lovingly, and the mother cried out for dinner, but the voice became farther and farther away.
Then, he woke up.
There is no father or mother around. He was lying on a clean bed, and the sky outside the window was indeed bright, but it was still a gloomy sky. That is, there are no birds singing, there is no burst of flowers, and the wind blows through the window, but there is a chill. Sugar Candy lay on her stomach, already asleep, while she ...... He tried to move his hands and feet, but before he could use his strength, the bones in his body felt like they were about to crack.
"Brother Jing, are you awake?!" Sugar Candy raised her head and said in a daze.
Lu Jingzhi wanted to respond, but found that he couldn't even speak, and his chest hurt so badly that it was estimated that his bones were broken.
"Yinxin, Sijiu, hurry up and come over to me, your young master is awake again. Sugar Candy exclaimed in surprise and anxiety, wait, why did she say "again"?
Sijiu ran over first, sleepy-eyed but full of surprise, saw Lu Jingzhi's open eyes, and said: "This young master, have you woken up? Do you want to bring you a bowl of soup to eat?"
"Young Master, you...... You've woken up. Yinxin lowered her head, looked at her toes, and said with a little unease. Yinxin has changed after being taught by herself?
These people don't also exist in their own dreams, Yinxin has become obedient, Sijiu has become stupid, and Tangtang has become horizontal. Lu Jingzhi looked over one by one, and the appearance of these people was exactly the same as what he had seen before, but their personalities were slightly different. Could it be that they have been away for too long, and they have all changed their ways?
Lu Jingzhi still wanted to continue to rest, so he closed his eyes again and quietly recuperated. However, he soon put an end to this leisurely state, because he found something very important - he wanted to go to the toilet.
"Four...... Nine. Lu Jingzhi closed his eyes and spit out these two words vigorously. There was a pain in my chest, but this time it was better than the previous one, maybe my body had adapted to the pain, and it was no longer the tearing pain that I had at the beginning.
"This ...... This young master, can you speak?!" Sijiu said happily. Nonsense, young master, I can't speak, could it be that you said it for me?
"Help me to the toilet, I want to pee. Lu Jingzhi finished speaking softly, struggling to remember, but it was a sharp pain like a broken bone, and he sighed in pain, lying on his back and panting.
"This young master, let's use a night pot for you. Sijiu skillfully took out a night pot from under the bed, uncovered the quilt and stuffed it in.
"Bastard thing. Lu Jingzhi scolded weakly, "There are two ladies here, where is the politeness you usually learned." ”
"This young master, they ......" Sijiu glanced at the two girls in fear, and said, "They have all seen it." ”
"What have you seen?" Lu Jingyi didn't realize it for a while, and as soon as the words came out, he thought that what Sijiu said should be referring to his own body, he was angry in his heart, and he had a temper tantrum, but he had no strength in his body, so he had to ask softly: "What's the matter? How can they see it?"
"This young master, it's not good to be small, you should be a small waiter, but the little one goes to the toilet or takes a nap or something, and you call it with a silver heart. Sijiu said as he glanced at Sugar Candy.
Lu Jingzhi knew in his heart that he was so seriously injured, Sijiu alone would definitely not be able to handle it, and he would inevitably let Yinxin help him. In desperation, there is no need to avoid this serious injury. It's just that a person as small as Tangtang, how can he see his body? Then he asked, "What about Miss?"
"Miss, she...... Since you come back, I will stay by your side. We advised her to avoid it, saying that we would undress and clean your wounds for convenience, but no matter how much we persuaded her, she refused to leave. She's hungry and thirsty, so she's here to eat and drink, and when she's sleepy, she's dozing off beside you, not leaving a single step. Sijiu added in his heart: Only going to the toilet will leave for a while.
Lu Jingzhi glanced sideways at Sugar Candy, and asked in a trembling voice, "Did you see it?" He has been educated by his father since he was a child, and it is a shame to be seen naked by others. If it's Sijiu and Yinxin, it's okay, but Tangtang has always been a girl, and if he also looks at his body, then he really can't see people.
Sugar Candy nodded, looking smug.
Lu Jingzhi wailed, turned his head, and tears rolled down. If you let Li Boyang and Zhang Liyuan, the two animals, know that they have been spied on by a six-year-old preschool girl, then they can't laugh at themselves.
Tangtang saw Lu Jingzhi crying, and hurriedly said: "Brother Jing, don't cry, I won't tell people that I am whiter than you." "I was determined to give up such a great pleasure."
"What?" Lu Jingzhi was stunned, "You're whiter than me?!" He was about to collapse, did Tangtang only look at his own skin color......? That's okay. As soon as his heart relaxed, his body was pouring out, and he suddenly fainted with shame.
In the dream, Dad came again, touched his head with his broad palm, and said many words to himself gently, but he didn't remember a word. Lu Jingzhi was lying on the bed, not saying a word, just listening to his father chattering on the side, and felt that his father was so good and really loved himself. But I didn't dare to say a word, for fear that I would wake up and my father would disappear if he said something. But although he endured not to speak, only a moment of trance, his father was gone. He opened his eyes suddenly, but his front eyes were pitch black, and a girl beside him was crying, crying very sadly.
It's sugar sugar. Lu Jingzhi thought for a while before he understood who was crying beside him.
"Sister Rong'er, why are you crying?" Lu Jingzhi asked weakly, "Is that girl Yinxin bullying you again?" Without waiting for Tangtang to finish sobbing, he raised his voice and shouted, "Yinxin, come over to the young master." ”
Tangtang hurriedly said, "No, Brother Jing, no." ”
Yinxin didn't hear it yet, but he heard the sound of Sijiu getting up from the side of the bed, and then heard him ask softly: "This young master, what do you command? ”
Lu Jingzhi looked out the window, and it turned out to be late at night. I just slept for a while, why is it dark?
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
