11. There are still many good people in the world
My uncle came to help me, I stood up with the pain, and tried to take a step carefully, my toes could touch the ground, and with a little force, it was still a heart-rending pain.
My aunt looked at me distressedly and ran over to hold my arm.
I tried my best to pretend to be relaxed, grinning at my uncle and aunt and saying, "It's okay, I can go." ”
My uncle didn't speak, but he pushed me hard to make my feet work harder.
I walked forward step by step, and they kept saying, "Child, don't be in a hurry, walk slowly." ”
My heart is hot, I met on the street, I am a stranger in a foreign land, let them be so attentive, this little wound under the foot is nothing, this true love can heal all the pain.
Their home is really not too far away, it is an old-fashioned tube building, but the stairs stumped me, and his family lives on the fourth floor, which is the top floor of this building.
I didn't let my uncle help me, so I grabbed the handrail and gritted my teeth and crawled to the door of his house.
My aunt looked at my face, which had been deformed by the pain, and once again cried in distress.
"What kind of sin has this been created, and it has been injured like this."
When I got to the room, my uncle asked me to sit on the sofa, let me bend my legs, and helped me take off my shoes, at this time my aunt brought a basin of warm water, and my uncle came into the house and found a ball of snow-white cotton yarn dipped in warm water, and helped me gently wipe my feet.
My uncle frowned as he wiped it, and when it was almost done, he asked me, "Young man, tell you the truth, how did you get your feet?" Why are there still wounds? ”
The wound was wet with warm water, and the pain seemed to drill into my heart, so I endured the severe pain and said: "Uncle, it's really nothing, I accidentally stepped on something hot, and it broke it, and even the cable tie was hot like this, I knew that it hurt the skin, and it didn't hurt the flesh, just slow it down." ”
Uncle: "Old woman, go and bring the medicine box and see if there is any anti-inflammatory powder." ”
The aunt hurriedly ran to the back room, brought a box and put it in front of the uncle, who opened the medicine box, rummaged through it for a while and found a bag, and said, "Thank God, there really is." ”
He told my aunt to mix some light salt water, and then I wiped the soles of my feet again with cotton yarn, and when my aunt came over with a small basin, he took a small piece of new cotton yarn, dipped it in light salt water, and said, "Child, you bear with it, it hurts a little." ”
As I know, it is said that rubbing salt on a wound is cruel, and although it is a necessary procedure, it is still a painful process.
I nodded firmly, just now the sword mountain and the sea of fire have passed, what can a salt water do to me.
My aunt thoughtfully brought me a new towel for me to bite into, grabbed my hand vigorously, and watched my uncle wipe the soles of my feet with cotton yarn.
The moment the cotton yarn touched the skin, although I was prepared, the piercing pain still made me gasp, I almost screamed in pain, and my aunt said to me distressedly: "Child, if it hurts, it will be called out, and it will not hurt if you call out." ”
My tears flowed down all of a sudden, not because they hurt, but because they moved me by my uncle's words.
There are still many good people in the world, and I am so lucky, but I said hello unintentionally, and they were so attentive to me.
It's really weird, as my tears flowed, the pain was really not so obvious, my uncle wiped it and waited for the water to dry, first put my right foot gently reversed an angle, took out the medicine powder and carefully sprinkled it on the wound, applied ointment to the burned area, took out the bandage in the medicine box and wrapped it, cut it with scissors, and cut it in the middle and tied it to the surface of the foot.
When he had taken care of the injury to my left foot, my uncle asked me to turn on my side, put my legs on the couch, and told my aunt to go and make me something to eat.
I was embarrassed to say, "I had dinner, no need." ”
My uncle took two pillows and put them behind me, and said, "You stay well, we can't replace your pain, we must eat, you are the age when you eat Lao Tzu to death, eat well and get better quickly." ”
Auntie went to the kitchen early and was busy with her work.
Once again, my heart was melted, and I don't know which generation of my family has accumulated virtue and done good deeds, so that I can be blessed in times of crisis.
I leaned on the soft pillow and watched my uncle silently pack up the medicine box, seeing that he was almost in his fifties, my uncle had a simple face, wearing a washed white gray overalls, it seemed that they were ordinary working families, although the home furnishings were a little old but spotless, which made people feel very comfortable.
The uncle put the medicine box back, held the medicine powder and ointment in his hand, and said: "You keep this, and tomorrow you will open the gauze and apply it again, your young wound will heal quickly, but you don't dare to stick to the water, inflammation is not a joke." ”
I took the ointment and put it in my pocket, don't thank you for the great kindness, I have to remember this kindness for the rest of my life.
My aunt brought me a bowl of hot noodle soup with two poached eggs on top.
To be honest, the bowl of white rice had already been digested before I came, and my stomach gurgled when I smelled the aroma of noodles.
Uncle: "Eat the eggs while they're hot." ”
I was not polite, I worked hard with the bowl, and after a while, I didn't even have any soup left.
My aunt hurriedly asked me if I was full, and I patted my stomach and said, "Auntie, when you are full, you and your uncle should rest early, I have to go back." ”
The aunt said anxiously: "Can you go back like this?" Or you and your uncle squeeze in, I'll sleep in the child's room, the child is not at home, the room is empty. ”
"Auntie, my feet don't hurt anymore, I can walk."
Uncle: "No, your feet have to bear all the weight of your body, and you just took care of the wounds, and you won't break your feet all the way?" In this way, if you don't squeeze me, let your aunt clean up the small room, rest on the child's bed, and wait until dawn to leave. ”
I also know in my heart that if I am allowed to walk now, I guess this pair of feet will be useless, but if I am allowed to stay here for the night, I really can't erase this face.
The aunt didn't say anything and ran to the small room to clean up, the uncle sat on the small stool next to the sofa, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and asked me if I wanted it, I quickly waved my hand and said no, he saw that I didn't smoke, sniffed it on my nose, and put it back in the cigarette case, he knew that people who don't smoke don't like the smell of smoke, he simply held back his addiction to smoke and didn't smoke it in front of me.
The aunt cleaned up the room and came over to the uncle and said, "You can help the child into the house, it's not too early." ”
Uncle quickly stood up, grabbed my arm and asked me to turn around and let my leg down, Auntie brought me a pair of slippers for me to put on, I tried to stand up, Uncle bent down and asked me to put my arm on his shoulder, I padd my feet and slowly moved to the small room.
The small room has a single bed, it seems that the uncle's family is a boy, and there are pictures of many weapons in the room.
My uncle helped me sit down, looked at the lying on the bed, and I said to my uncle, "My name is Chen Xiaoxu, from Hebei." Come to Shanghai to look for a job, and when my job is confirmed, I will come back to see you. ”
Uncle: "Xiaoxu, there is no rush for work, you don't dislike your uncle's house, take care of your injuries at your uncle's place before leaving." ”
"No, uncle, I made an appointment with the company for an interview tomorrow, it's so difficult to find a job now, I'm really fine, just rest for one night, if it doesn't work, I'll take a taxi downstairs, and I can't walk a few steps."
Uncle: "Don't talk about it, go to bed first, tomorrow I am on the morning shift, your aunt is at home, don't leave if you can't go, I'll change your medicine after work in the afternoon." ”
I nodded and said, "Uncle, don't worry about going to work, I won't leave if I can't go, you can go and rest." ”
My uncle went out and put the door on for me, and I lay on the bed, and the emotion in my heart lingered.
There is still a faint pain in the soles of my feet, but I can bear it, I am thinking about tomorrow, if Lian Xin sees me like this, I don't know what the reaction will be.
She had been holding me back for the day, and when she saw that I was trapped and still helped, it was good that the later events did not pull her in, and it would have been too great a sin for her to go through the night with me.
Also, I can't go back today, my cousin is in a hurry when he comes back from work, I don't know if my uncle's house has a phone, if only I could call her.
While my uncle and aunt were not asleep, I had to get up and ask them, report to my cousin that she was safe, and if she saw that I didn't come home, she would call the police in a hurry.
I struggled to turn over, still on my tiptoes to open the door, my aunt was still busy in the outhouse, heard my noise and hurriedly ran over, hurriedly asked me what was wrong, whether I wanted to go to the bathroom.
I was embarrassed and said, "Auntie, do you have a phone at home?" I wanted to call my cousin, I stayed with her, and I was in pain when I visited just now, and I didn't remember to tell her. ”
Auntie: "There is no phone at home, you tell me the number, I will go downstairs to help you call, there is a public phone in the store downstairs." ”
Me: "It's so late, don't go downstairs, wait until tomorrow." ”
"How's that going to work? If you don't go back, your cousin will be in a hurry, be obedient, give me the number, and I'll go downstairs. ”
Although I couldn't bear to let my aunt go downstairs so late, the call was still made, and I can't guarantee what my cousin would do if she found out that I didn't come home.
I had to give my cousin's mobile phone number to my aunt, who took the number and asked my cousin's name to let me sleep in peace, and then went downstairs.
