back edge

On Saturday morning, Xie Jingnian slept until the afternoon for an unprecedented time.

His legs were sore and sore, and his waist and back ached too much. Just sitting up from the bed had exhausted all his strength.

Chen Xi probably went to the tattoo parlor shortly after arriving home in the early morning, the room was empty and not popular.

Xie Jingnian got dressed and went downstairs. The breakfast shop no longer served breakfast at this time, only stuffed pie and tofu nao were left.

The proprietress of the breakfast shop warmly greeted her and asked, "Do you want anything else, handsome guy?"

"No, thank you."

Today was supposed to be the day when Xie Jingnian went to work at a hotpot restaurant, but unexpectedly he overslept and wasted a vacation.

However, as long as he remembered the early morning sunrise, nothing else mattered.

Just after eating, Xie Jingnian received a call from Jia Feichen, asking him to go to the book store to buy exercise books.

"Let's go later, let's have a meal together." Jia Feichen's voice was filled with unusual excitement, "By the way, I called Zhuang Jie too. Five o'clock, five o'clock, we Be there or leave!"

They made an appointment to meet at the gate of Book City.Xie Jingnian saw Jia Feichen from a distance, but he was not alone.Standing beside him was Fu Xue, the two of them were holding hands and whispering something in a low voice.

At the beginning when Jia Feichen told Zhuang Jie that he had a girlfriend, Zhuang Jie still didn't believe it, insisting that he was lying and that he was single and had an illusion.

Unexpectedly, Jia Feichen brought him directly to Zhuang Jie.Now Zhuang Jie was completely wilted, and was stimulated by a lot of dog food to run around in the bookstore, just not walking with Jia Feichen and the others, as far away as possible.

"I regret it so much. Why did I agree to this idiot to come out with him? I guess he must be upset and kind!" Zhuang Jie pulled Xie Jingnian to criticize Jia Feichen, "He also said something when he was on the phone. Didn't say you want to bring a girlfriend! I'm so pissed off."

Xie Jingnian listened silently, unable to think of any comforting words for a while, and he couldn't immediately find a girlfriend for Zhuang Jie.

"Yo, old dog Zhuang!"

Jia Feichen yelled not far away, Zhuang Jie and Xie Jingnian both turned their heads, and in the next second they saw Jia Feichen hugging Fu Xue, kissing Fu Xue forcefully on the face, with a loud sound, It directly turned Fu Xue into a red face.

"What are you doing..." Fu Xue beat his chest with her fist in embarrassment.

Zhuang Jie pointed his middle finger at Jia Feichen, and jumped out like a [-]-meter race.

The two big boys ran around in circles in the book city, and were finally stopped by the staff before they stopped.

Sitting in the shop, Jia Feichen took a bite of the beef noodles, and suddenly remembered something, and dropped his chopsticks on the table: "Damn it! I forgot to buy the exercise book..."

"I also forgot..."

After Zhuang Jie finished speaking, he looked at Xie Jingnian again.

"I'm done shopping."

Xie Jingnian lifted up the plastic bag on hand and shook it, immediately attracting hostile gazes from the two of them.

"At the same table, you, you are rebellious!" Jia Feichen clutched his chest, almost fainting.

Xie Jingnian smiled, just as he was about to say that he would also take care of them by the way, when he caught a glimpse of the screen of the mobile phone on the table lighting up, then it started buzzing and vibrating, and the caller ID was Brother Jiu.

Xie Jingnian hurried to the hospital, sweating from the run.The ward was full of people, and no one had time to talk to him.

Together with Yao Xi and several nurses, Zhou Yantong was pressing a woman in hospital gown on the hospital bed.

Her long hair was scattered all over her face, and she couldn't help screaming miserably, writhing wildly trying to break free from their restraints, the drip hanging from her hand was almost thrown off by her several times.

The voice seemed to be choked by someone, it was harsh and harsh, and it scraped hard on the eardrum with pain.

"Xiao Ming, don't be like this, Xiao Ming!"

Yao Xi's tears slid down to his chin, and his delicate makeup was blurred by tears.She held the woman's right hand tightly in her hand, and said eagerly and comfortingly: "The doctor will be here soon, good boy."

She helplessly yelled at Zhou Yantong: "You fucking think of a way!"

Zhou Yantong's eyes were red, and he turned around anxiously: "I'm not a fucking doctor, I have a way!"

The woman on the hospital bed lost control of her emotions, and when she found that she couldn't break free, she even started banging her head against the bedside table, making violent bang bang noises.

Seeing this, Xie Jingnian quickly brought a pillow from the empty hospital bed next door, and placed it between the woman's head and the bedside table.

"let me go!"

After the woman screamed, the room fell silent for an instant, and the atmosphere froze, as if a layer of plastic had been covered over everyone's head, making it so oppressive and dull that one couldn't breathe.

After waiting for a long time, the doctor finally came late amidst her increasingly tired screams.

The doctor lifted the quilt covering the woman's body, revealing her bloody and abnormally twisted legs. There were wounds drawn by sharp objects on them. The bones were deep, bloody, and a large area of ​​the quilt was stained red. Lining and sheets.

After the nurse sedated the woman, everyone in the room finally relaxed.The doctor examined her carefully and frowned: "Li Ming, right? She is in a very bad state of mind now. I suggest that you transfer her to a mental hospital as soon as possible. She is a high paraplegic herself, and the wound on her leg Too deep, accompanied by multiple comminuted fractures, poor follow-up maintenance can easily lead to worsening infection, and in the worst case, amputation is not ruled out."

"I listen to you, can we treat the legs first?" Zhou Yantong asked hastily.

"Which of you is the family member of the patient? Go and go through the formalities first, and we will arrange the operation as soon as possible."

"I'll go." Yao Xi picked up his bag and ran all the way, and disappeared after a while.

Zhou Yantong said to Xie Jingnian: "Brother, quickly call Chen Xi and ask him where he is."

Xie Jingnian ran out while dialing the phone with his mobile phone in his hand. When he arrived at the door, he bumped into someone and knocked him against the door frame.

"Brother Rotten—"

Xie Jingnian raised his head, before he finished speaking, Chen Xi passed him like a gust of wind, without even looking at him, he strode towards the middle hospital bed.

"How is it?" Chen Xi asked.

"A comminuted fracture requires surgery." Zhou Yantong said, "If it gets worse later, the limb may need to be amputated."

Chen Xi looked at the woman sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed on the bed, stretched out her hand to gently brush away her messy hair, and pinned it neatly behind her ears, revealing the woman's pale and haggard face.

The sides of her cheeks were deeply sunken, her eyelids closed her eyeballs to form a protruding spherical arc, and her lips were bloodless, like a terrifying vampire in Western mythology.

Chen Xi said: "You take good care of her, and I'll figure out a way about the money."

"What can you do?" Zhou Yantong shouted, "Do you still want to sell the house?"

"No need." Standing by the bed, Chen Xi took a cigarette and fiddled with it in his hand, "I still have a little savings—"

"Forget it, you don't have to worry about it."

Chen Xi took out his mobile phone, suddenly looked at Xie Jingnian who was stunned by the door, and asked, "Did you call me just now?"

"Ah, brother Yan asked me to ask where you have been."

"Ah."

Chen Xi dialed a number, and when he left, he casually patted Xie Jingnian's head: "Does it hurt?"

Xie Jingnian shook his head and said it didn't hurt.

While walking to the bathroom in the corridor, Chen Kui was on the phone with someone, speaking in a somewhat aggressive tone.

Xie Jingnian followed up in a strange way, leaning against the outer wall of the bathroom to eavesdrop.

Chen Xi hung up the phone without saying a few words. He was probably smoking a cigarette, and it took a long time before he heard a sound.

"Do you want more?" Chen Kui paused, and said to the other end of the phone, "Car, bring [-] to pick it up tomorrow."
