Chapter 21
Xu Jue sat on the ground in shock.
The darkness around him and the unexpected fall made his heart beat fast, banging against his chest.
I don't know if it was too nervous, he didn't even feel the pain in his leg.
"Xu Jue, Xu Jue?" Qi Yanjing squatted in front of him and patted his face lightly.
But no matter how he shouted, Xu Jue remained motionless as if he had lost his soul.
Qi Yanjing was afraid that he would fall somewhere and did not dare to move easily, so she could only slow down and say softly: "Did you fall? Xu Jue, say something?"
Xu Jue knew that Qi Yanjing was talking to him, but his heart beat so fast that it seemed as if he could jump out of it as soon as he opened his mouth, and all the answers were stuck in his throat.
Qi Yanjing waited patiently for a while, but did not get any response.
The big-eyed doll in front of her was panting with her mouth slightly open, looking flustered and dazed.
Qi Yanjing wiped his forehead and felt a little cold sweat, the soft hair on his forehead was messed up, making him look more like a poor little boy.
"I'm so stunned..." Qi Yanjing secretly came to a conclusion.
He lifted Xu Jue's two arms to his shoulders, and found that he was so thin that there was no flesh in his arms.
The distance between the two drew closer, Qi Yanjing wrapped her arms around Xu Jue's waist, and said in a steady voice, "I'm going to hug you up now, and if it hurts, I have to make a sound, you know?"
one second.
two seconds.
Still no response.
Qi Yanjing sighed, and stopped trying to communicate with the dazed person.He picked up Xu Jue firmly, walked to the bed in twos and threes, and put him back on the bed gently.
Xu Jue's back trembled a little, and Qi Yanjing pinched the back of his neck: "It's okay."
Because of the power outage, the whole room was too dark, Qi Yanjing took the phone and turned on the flashlight, rolled up Xu Jue's trousers to look at his legs.
Unlike himself who was only wearing a vest and shorts, Xu Jue was wrapped in a thick coral fleece pajamas, off-white, which was about the same color as his legs to the naked eye.
Qi Yanjing lightly pressed on his right knee, Xu Jue trembled all over, and let out a "hiss".
Qi Yanjing met his eyes that finally had focus, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth: "Are you willing to regain your senses?"
Xu Jue only paused for a second, then immediately lowered his head to look at his left leg.
The scar was the same as before, and there were no other scars other than that.It doesn't seem to be very painful, it's stuffy, and it's caught in the crack of the bone one after another, as if it's pressed by something and can't pass it out.
Xu Jue was not sure if it was the effect of painkillers.
"Okay, don't look over there, you fell on your right leg," Qi Yanjing exerted a little force on the hollow of his right knee, "The skin is broken, and the knee will probably be swollen soon."
Xu Jue didn't care, all his attention was focused on his left leg, and he said casually: "It's okay to have a little skin, that leg is still strong and resistant to falling."
Qi Yanjing raised her eyebrows, amused by the differential treatment he gave her two legs.
Xu Jue frowned and confirmed again and again that his left leg was safe, and his back that had been tense all the time relaxed a little.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his voice trembling with lingering fear: "It scared me to death..."
"What's wrong?" Qi Yanjing knelt down and looked at him at the same level.
"Is my left leg okay?"
"It's okay." Qi Yanjing patted him on the back lightly, "I checked, it didn't fall at all."
Xu Jue still looked nervous, but seemed to have gained some strength from Qi Yanjing's comfort, so he pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Actually, I almost landed on my left leg."
Qi Yanjing saw his flustered but eager to confide, and keenly sensed that the direction of things was about to change.
"Then why didn't it fall?" Qi Yanjing cast an encouraging look.
Xu Jue twisted his fingers and said nervously: "Because I suddenly thought of it, I, my left leg is still pierced with a steel needle, what if it gets crooked when I knock it down? I can take it out right away, I don't want to hit a few more Moon..."
"And, what if it breaks again? If it breaks again, I might really be disabled. I don't want to be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life..."
"So when I was about to hit the ground, I twisted. Fortunately, I twisted. You don't know how hard the ground is..."
Qi Yanjing couldn't help laughing.
If it weren't for today's accident, he might never have known that Xu Jue was a chatterbox when he was really nervous.
Like many children, he seems to have to read all the mental activities verbatim in order to relieve his tension.
"Well, that's awesome," Qi Yanjing echoed with a smile: "Why are you so powerful? In just a few seconds, you can flash so many thoughts and make the correct response."
Xu Jue followed suit and nodded: "That's right, maybe it's a matter of quick wit."
Qi Yanjing suppressed a smile: "Too smart."
Xu Jue was not embarrassed: "It's so-so."
Qi Yanjing raised her hand to cover her mouth, and took two deep breaths.
"Then have you ever thought that there are actually other smarter ways?"
He pressed the corner of his mouth: "Like standing still and waiting for me to come?"
"……Um?"
Xu Jue was stunned.
It dawned on me.
Qi Yanjing finally understood that Xu Jue, who was extremely nervous, still had a little problem—a little stupid.
He stood up and decided to end this topic quickly before being teased by Xu Jue.
"Your knee is broken," he coughed to stabilize his voice, "I'll get you some medicine to rub."
There are limited supplies in the mountains, and there are generally simple drug workers there, but now everyone lives together, and there is a power outage, so it is really troublesome to go there.
Qi Yanjing picked up the mobile phone to try to find the signal, Xu Jue hugged his legs and lowered his head and blew on his knees, and said lightly: "You don't need to find others, I have it myself."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the large suitcase by the wall: "I have a small medicine box in my suitcase, which contains iodine alcohol."
He thought for a while and added: "But the color of iodophor is too ugly, it's just a little bit of skin damage, just wipe it with alcohol twice?"
Qi Yanjing: "..."
"Would you be a little fairer to your own legs?"
He opened Xu Jue's box, found the medicine box and brought it over, and briefly cleaned Xu Jue's wound.
Xu Jue's mood gradually calmed down, and his mind cleared up. Thinking of the way he babbled to Qi Yanjing just now, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He tapped the back of Qi Yanjing's hand.
Qi Yanjing looked up.
Xu Jue bit his lip and said, "Then what, I seemed to talk too much just now, I'm sorry."
Qi Yanjing wanted to laugh again, so she quickly held back and said seriously: "Yes, I see, I understand."
Suddenly a strong light shone at the door, and the house owner's aunt rushed over with a flashlight in her cotton-padded jacket.
The light of the flashlight suddenly hit Xu Jue's eyes, and Xu Jue raised his hand to cover it.
Qi Yanjing got up and faced the door, covering Xu Jue.
The aunt took out a few red candles from the pocket of her cotton-padded jacket and walked towards them.
"Oh, are you two handsome guys okay? I brought you candles and lighters, didn't I delay you?"
There was still apology on her face, Qi Yanjing took the things and said with a smile: "It's okay, we were going to sleep too, thank you for coming."
"What's the matter? It's just a few steps away. We always have power outages here. Are you not used to it?"
"Wherever it is, candles are the same, as long as they can light the way."
The aunt laughed: "Handsome guy, you're quite used to it, huh? If you need anything else, I'll get it."
Qi Yanjing thought for a while, but if she wanted to say no, the corner of her clothes was gently pulled.
Xu Jue looked up at him and whispered, "My hot water bottle..."
The hot water bottle needs to be plugged in. The whole house is dark and can only be illuminated by candles. How to charge it?
Qi Yanjing thought he was stupid, rubbed the back of his head: "There is no electricity."
Xu Jue shook his head quickly, the tails of his slightly raised eyes were unusually beautiful.
He whispered like a child presenting a treasure: "It's okay, I still have irrigation!"
Qi Yanjing: "...??"
Qi Yanjing couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and laughed, marveling at Xu Jue's complete facilities.
