Chapter 30: Wounded
The two of them had opposite ideas, and they still didn't know about it after 108,000 miles.
The cold wind gusted, and Qian Li shivered from the cold, leaning on Yun Ling and muttering: "Where did Chu Xianglan go?" Why haven't I come back for so long, I'm going to freeze to death. ”
The roasted sweet potatoes were so fragrant that as soon as they cooled to a temperature that was not hot in the mouth, she opened them and ate them. Now that there is no tool to warm her hands, Qian Li can't help but regret it, tonight's meal is so rich, why is she hungry for a roasted sweet potato?
Before Yun Ling could reassure her to be patient and wait, she heard the sound of a man and a woman talking in the distance, and the woman's voice was quite familiar.
Qian Li's eyes lit up: "Is it Chu Xianglan's voice?!" ”
"Seems to be."
Yun Ling leaned forward, and saw Wei Guoqing approaching with Chu Xianglan on his back, and hurriedly pulled Qian Li to run over to greet her.
Fu Chengxu just wanted to say, "Slow down, the road is slippery, be careful of falling." And the man ran away in a hurry.
“……”
He fell at the end, a little helpless, and after a pause of two seconds, he stepped forward, and followed behind Yun Ling step by step, for fear that she would slip.
Yun Ling saw that Chu Xianglan's face was a little pale, with a few drops of sweat on her forehead, she was still gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”
Chu Xianglan barely laughed miserably: "It's okay, it's just a fall." ”
Of course Yun Ling didn't believe it, she knew that Chu Xianglan had always been very bearable, and it was okay if it hurt like this?
She turned to Wei Guoqing and asked: "Comrade Wei, what's wrong with her?" ”
Wei Guoqing replied honestly: "When I came back, I saw three robbers robbing Comrade Chu's things, and then went up to help her, but I didn't expect that the gang couldn't beat me and pushed Comrade Chu a few times and pushed her into the ditch." But there was no water in the ditch and it was all ice, and Comrade Chu seemed to have stumbled somewhere, and her legs couldn't walk, so I carried her back. ”
After that, he felt a little guilty: "It's a pity that I didn't snatch those things back, and Comrade Chu was injured." ”
Seeing this, Chu Xianglan hurriedly comforted him: "Originally, this matter had nothing to do with you, you were brave enough to help me, and now I have to thank you for my kindness." If something is gone, it is gone, and nothing matters with human life. ”
Yun Ling also agreed: "Just buy it when the things are gone, tell me what you lack first, I have it there." Send the woad to the clinic first, Lily, you go back and tell them to let them eat first, don't wait for us. ”
Qian Li couldn't help standing next to her, and nodded: "Then I'll go back and talk to them first, and I'll bring you food later." ”
"Cheng, the flashlight is for you, be careful when you go back."
Yun Ling took the flashlight in Chu Xianglan's hand and helped Wei Guoqing illuminate it, and suddenly remembered that Fu Chengxu was still by her side, and she was in a hurry when she saw Chu Xianglan's injury, so she forgot about it.
She was embarrassed and apologized: "I'm sorry, Comrade Fu." Delaying you for so long tonight, Grandma Fu should be in a hurry, you hurry back to accompany her for New Year's Day, I'll just come by myself here. ”
Fu Chengxu was distressed that she was too outsider, and such an independent personality meant that she didn't need to help herself, but he still wanted to be by someone's side, even if he didn't need him at all, he was much more at ease.
"I already told my grandmother when I went back, the old man went to bed early, I guess she is resting now, I have nothing to do when I go back, why don't I go over and help you." I also have some basic trauma treatment, maybe I can help you? Well? ”
His words were sincere, and Yun Ling was not easy to refuse: "If you don't bother, I'll work hard for you, thank you." ”
Fu Chengxu replied easily: "You're welcome, I'm doing you a favor, it's not hard." ”
"......" Yun Ling was choked by his blunt words, and didn't know what to do, so she simply remained silent.
In fact, Fu Chengxu blushed a little after saying it, because their relationship was far from being so close, for fear that this sentence would cause her trouble.
He secretly condemned himself in his heart, he had never pursued a girl, so naturally he didn't know what to do, he would only blindly give and be good to her.
But he also realized that Yun Ling didn't seem to be moved by this kind of behavior, and Fu Chengxu would reflect on himself every time he went to bed late at night, maybe he was too eager, or maybe it caused inconvenience to people.
All the way from the village entrance to the clinic, Fu Chengxu became silent, in fact, he originally showed such a character to the outside world, but Yunling was a little unaccustomed.
The contact between them has always been Fu Chengxu talking a lot, and she says less, but now that she is quiet, she feels weird.
However, Yun Ling didn't care very much, but felt that this person understood the hint of her scarf, and retreated.
Habits are terrible things, and she worries that once she becomes familiar with the other person's existence, she can't do without him. This is especially frightening for her, she is afraid that she will not be able to do without someone in the future, which is equivalent to an extra weakness that can be manipulated.
Now this result is one that she is more satisfied with, which not only produces alienation, but also retains decency.
Yun Ling pulled the light line, and the clinic suddenly lit up.
She immediately checked Chu Xianglan's leg, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Slight fracture, fortunately there is no obvious dislocation, the fracture is in a good position, it is not serious, I will do a reduction for you in a while, and then use a brace splint to fix it." ”
As she spoke, she wrote down the medical records, suddenly thought of something, paused for a while and continued: "Even if you are in this situation, I am afraid that you will not be able to get out of bed for two to three weeks, and you will not be able to exercise vigorously for four to six weeks, and if you recover slowly, you may not be able to rush back for the New Year." ”
Every year, the Spring Festival is an activity that can tire people out of the skin, carrying large bags and small sacks, crowded people, unable to buy a sleeper and can only sit for several days of fatigue, according to Chu Xianglan's situation, it will definitely not be able to support.
Yun Ling suggested that she not go back this year, but she also knew that Chu Xianglan was quite homesick.
In fact, who of these educated youths who come to the countryside does not want to go home?
Their conditions are not bad, and the commune and brigade here are tolerant and kind, and they can give leave. She knows that there are still many educated youths who have neither annual leave nor money to buy train tickets, and have not been back for several years.
is like Ding Meiyue in the old intellectual, her family is from your province, and she has four sisters and a younger brother. When she first went to the countryside, her parents took away the resettlement money of each sister to buy a job for her younger brother, and they came to the countryside poor and white, with no bedding or money tickets, and they were ridiculed by the villagers that these city people were not as good as them.
But even if her parents are harsh, Ding Meiyue still wants to go home, breaking her bones and connecting tendons, she always thinks that they are all her relatives, and no matter how bad her home is, it is her nest.
In fact, from Yun Ling's point of view, this one might as well not go back!
It may be that Ding Meiyue has worked a lot at home, and coming to the countryside is the fastest to adapt to farm work, and her annual work is about the same as that of an adult man. The Yongsheng Village Brigade is rich, there are a lot of agricultural and sideline products that can be sold to the factory to make profits, and each person can get a sum of money after distributing the grain every year.
Ding Meiyue is the one who gets the most money among all the educated youths, but she lives the most poor, the reason is that her parents only send her a letter once a year, that is, asking for money at the end of the year. All the money she had distributed was sent back home, and she didn't even have the money to buy herself some cotton to fill her jacket for the winter.
In early winter, Yun Ling saw that her coat was hard like a thin mattress, so she kindly asked if she needed a cotton ticket. At first, she thought that cotton tickets were not good to get, and she couldn't buy cotton if she couldn't exchange tickets, but then Sun Qian told her these things to make it clear.
Sun Qian kindly helped her a few times at the beginning, and also intimately reminded her to send less money to her home, the sky is high and the road is far away, they don't know how much money they have, don't be so honest.
The girl ostensibly promised to be good, but when the year came, her father and mother sent the money away.
Sun Qian was so angry that she never told her this anymore.
Kindness can't be abused, people don't listen, and outsiders can't help it.
