Chapter 21 21.Injury

Every day after that, Lu Zhixu spent all his sleep and food, racing against time. He had no way out.

That night, he recited the book as usual until he felt sleepy. He almost fell to the ground several times. He even bit his lip and still couldn't wake up.

He shook his head for a moment and suddenly remembered the bag of tea leaves, so he took it out and prepared to make a cup.

This is a kind of tea he has never seen before. It looks a bit like a chrysanthemum petal and is slender, but the color is deep dark red. When soaked in hot water, it exudes a special fragrance. The whole cup of tea is alluring.

And the dangerous red lured him under the dim candlelight.

He took a sip and immediately felt a numbness in his scalp. A special feeling went straight to his bones, and he immediately woke up.

This was really a good thing. He felt like he had found a treasure and continued to endorse it. He did not feel sleepy even when the sun rose.

Yu An noticed that he hadn't slept all night and reminded him: "You should pay attention to rest."

"Brother Yu, don't worry, I'm measured." Lu Zhixu said with a smile.

Although he said this, he still stayed up late every day. The county examination was coming after the new year, and many students were busy writing. Yu An knew that he was going to give it a try, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

It’s just that Lu Zhixu is getting thinner and thinner.

After dinner that day, Yun Yao came to bring food to Yu An. Lu Zhixu was left alone in the room. He memorized and did the questions as usual, but turned around and found a few pieces of paper lying under Yu An's table.

He stood up and walked over, helped Yu An pick it up and put it on the table, only to find that it was the test paper from the last exam.

The top page happens to be Yu An’s article.

After reading the article, he was froze.

It was so well written, better than all the books he had read. I'm afraid he would never be able to write such an article in his life. Why is Yu An so good? He was also the one who solved the difficult problem that Liu Jishi faced last time.

Does he disdain to compete with people like himself? Why didn't he finish the test paper? He is hiding his clumsiness. Does he look down on himself?

An inexplicable sadness and jealousy invaded his brain, and he wanted to reach out and tear up the test paper.

With that in mind, he really reached out his hand.

The sound of a door opening suddenly reminded me that Yu An was back, carrying a package in his hand.

Lu Zhixu was stunned for a moment. How could he have such an idea? He moved his lips and froze in place, feeling at a loss.

Yu An saw him standing there in a daze and felt that he was too tired. He pulled Lu Zhixu to the bed, pointed to the bed and said, "Lie down."

Lu Zhixu saw him leaning on crutches and looking at him stubbornly, so he had no choice but to lie down on the bed obediently. Before he could close his eyes, Yu An opened the package and distributed a whole jar of meat sauce and many packages of dried fruits to Lu Zhixu's table.

superior.

Looking at the full table, Lu Zhixu felt a little dumbfounded. His heart warmed up, and he slowly calmed down. His eyelids became heavy, and he fell asleep after a while.

He slept until the next morning. If Yu An hadn't called him, he would have been late for class.

The two of them went to class together, and the classroom was on the second floor. Lu Zhixu followed Yu An, protecting him as he slowly went upstairs.

Suddenly, a picture flashed in front of his eyes. Lu Zhixu blinked in discomfort, his vision was a little blurry. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes turned red. The steps and handles were all red. Yu An, who was walking in front, looked like...

Like a three-legged monster.

What's going on.

Lu Zhixu endured the discomfort and walked up, tripped over the steps and fell on Yu An.

Fortunately, they happened to reach the gap between the first and second floors. Yu An held on to the wall in front of them, and neither of them fell.

Yu An looked back at him and saw that he looked uncomfortable, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Sorry, I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable with my eyes." Lu Zhixu said, walking in front of Yu An, trying to get to the second floor and get away from the damn stairs.

Yu An lowered his head and found a paper bag on the ground. He reached out to pick it up and said, "Wait a minute, you dropped something."

"What?" Lu Zhixu turned his head, and the picture in front of him was still red. He saw Yu An showing an evil smile, and his slender and sharp claws stretched towards his tea bag.

The moment Yu An touched the tea bag, his eyes suddenly turned red and he rushed down quickly, shouting: "Don't try to snatch it away!"

Before Yu An could react, Lu Zhixu snatched the tea bag and pushed Yu An down.

Yu An's eyes widened in disbelief. He lost his center of gravity and fell forward, tumbling down the steps.

Xu Ziyi and Xu Jingzhou, who were walking not far away, happened to see this scene and were shocked.

Almost instantly, Xu Ziyi rushed forward and hugged Yu An. The huge momentum caused him to hit the wall hard. His face was distorted in pain, his whole body was shaking, and he felt that his ribs were broken.

Xu Ziyi's painful cry made Lu Zhixu wake up. His pupils couldn't stop trembling as he looked at the two people who fell together.

The loud noise attracted Master Li and his classmates. Seeing this, Master Li quickly directed his classmates to carry the two people onto stretchers. Xu Jingzhou called the coachman who was parked not far away.

A group of people slowly carried the two people onto the carriage and escorted the carriage all the way to the Huichun Hall. Such a formation really shocked the patients in line.

Yu An knocked his head on the stairs and fainted, while Xu Ziyi kept humming quietly and no longer had the strength to howl.

Lu Zhixu followed behind, feeling guilty and frightened, lowering his head and saying nothing.

Fortunately, everyone was in a hurry to treat the two of them, so no one noticed him.

Xu Jingzhou walked to the front, bowed deeply to everyone, and said: "Everyone, one of the carriages behind is my brother and the other is my classmate. They just fell down the stairs. The situation is urgent and the injuries are serious. You

If anyone among us is not in urgent condition, can you make room for them both? Xiaosheng is willing to pay."

Hearing this, some of the people in the queue saw that he was the eldest son of the county magistrate, some were interested in money, and some saw that he was eager to save people, so they all made way for them. Only two people who were anxious to see a doctor stood there. Xu Jingzhou said nothing and remained silent.

Wait behind.

Fortunately, it was their turn soon. The students were delighted and quickly carried the two of them in.

Doctor Guo asked everyone to go out and examined the two of them carefully. He found that Yu An's problem was not serious, but his head was swollen, and there were some bruises on his arms, legs, and back, but they were not serious. He could just rest in bed for a while.

But Xu Ziyi is obviously not so lucky.

He was injured in the back, and after another impact, his lumbar spine and sacrococcyge were fractured, which required correction and fixation. He was unable to get out of bed for half a year. Fortunately, the ribs were not broken, otherwise if the ribs penetrated the internal organs, it would be a real miracle.

Nothing can be saved.

Doctor Guo looked serious, flexing his wrists and preparing to start a series of operations.

Xu Ziyi's wailing suddenly came from the room.

"What are you going to do?"

"ah!"

"stop!"

"Ouch~!"

When the students waiting outside heard such a shrill scream, their faces were all distorted with fear.

Xu Ziyi fainted from the pain.
