Out of the lion

At dusk, a dilapidated car passed through the newly illuminated street and entered the arcade alley.

Lin Jiu, who was driving, glanced at Lin Xiaoxi in the back seat through the rearview mirror, "Isn't it good that you don't need to be hospitalized?"

With a lollipop in his mouth, Lin Xiaoxi said nonchalantly, "Didn't you listen to the doctor? It's fine to rest. Besides, if you're injured for a hundred days, you'll have to stay in the hospital for two or three months. Have this money?"

Lin Nanxun, who was supporting Lin Xiaoxi, worried: "If the root cause of the disease falls, it will be over."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoxi and Lin Jiu glanced at each other through the rearview mirror, and the sudden silence made Lin Nanxun feel something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" she asked tearfully.

"Nothing." Lin Xiaoxi and Lin Jiu spoke at the same time.

Lin Nanxun's heart skipped a beat. It's been like this since she was a child. Whenever something important happens, the two will cooperate to hide it from her.

Lin Nanxun also knew that everything was Lin Xiaoxi's idea.Eldest brother Lin Jiu's intelligence is slightly lower than ordinary people's, and he is not very enlightened. He often listens to what his sister says.

She tugged on Lin Xiaoxi's hand uneasily, "Is there something you guys are hiding from me?"

"It's all right." Lin Xiaoxi put his hand on Lin Nanxun's, tilted his head, and pretended to sleep.

The evening breeze in Hainan carried a faint breath of the sea, brushing Lin Xiaoxi's hair, slightly warm and refreshing, very comfortable.Lin Xiaoxi likes to blow the evening breeze the most. No matter what happens, as long as the evening breeze blows, she can feel happy.But this time, the stone in her heart made her breathless.

The doctor said that even if the injury on her foot healed, she could not exercise vigorously, let alone practice stretching and dance lion dance at any time.

Simply put, it is no longer possible to dance lions.

Lin Xiaoxi felt bad, she took her senior brother and junior sister out to participate in the competition, but she didn't get the prize money, instead she got hurt like this, and made the "Dragon and Lion Dance" be laughed at.

No matter how I think about it, I feel unwilling.

The car stopped at the gate of an arcade building, Lin Jiu carried Lin Xiaoxi home, and Lin Nanxun limped to help.

Seeing the miserable condition of the three brothers and sisters, the neighbors came forward to show their concern.

Lin Xiaoxi wanted to be strong, and refused to show any pain or weakness, and told them nonchalantly: "It's just a small injury, and it will be fine in two days."

After greeting the three young men, an old lady couldn't help but teach a few words: "You three, it's really worrying, you didn't take good care of Master, you ran to play around, and came back with an injury. .”

Lin Xiaoxi and the others did not argue, but smiled awkwardly as a response.

When she got home, she was drenched in sweat.

It hurts so much, I'm going to crush my teeth.

Lin Jiu was worried about her and wanted to persuade her to go to the hospital, but before she could say anything, she rushed to Lin Nan and said, "I haven't eaten until now, go and get something to eat."

Lin Nanxun always felt that his brother and sister were hiding something from her, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing his sister Lin Xiaoxi hugging her stomach and screaming hungry, she had to drag her injured leg to the kitchen to cook.

After taking Lin Nanxunzhi away, Lin Xiaoxi showed a painful expression.

"Once the anesthetic wears off, it's really uncomfortable. It hurts much more than when practicing." Lin Xiaoxi lifted up his trouser legs, revealing the bandaged area.

The worry on Lin Jiu's face became more and more serious, "It's not an option to go on like this, let's go back to the hospital."

They sneaked away from the hospital.

It is stipulated in the participation agreement that if there is an injury caused by the competition, the organizer will be responsible for medical related issues.Lin Xiaoxi heard that when the sponsor staff communicated with the hospital, they mentioned that they need to pay a 5 hospital deposit first.

Lin Xiaoxi's eyes flickered, and she grabbed the staff to talk about her injuries and life. The staff said she had to pay the bill, so she asked Lin Jiu to run errands.

Lin Jiu grew up with Lin Xiaoxi, so how could he not guess her little thoughts, knowing that she wanted to "cheat" the deposit of 5 yuan.

The staff didn't think much, and gave the money to Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu hid after getting the money.

Lin Xiaoxi dismissed the staff sent by the event organizer from the ward under the pretext of going to the bathroom.When the staff member returned to the ward, Lin Xiaoxi had already disappeared.

Probably because he was too focused when running away and didn't protect his legs well. Now he relaxes, the pain made Lin Xiaoxi cry.

Lin Jiu took out 5 yuan, "No, I have to go to the hospital. What if something serious happens after the delay?"

Lin Xiaoxi was afraid that Lin Jiu would lose the money to the hospital, so he quickly grabbed it.The moment I got the money, the injury seemed to be less painful.

She comforted Lin Jiu and said, "Don't worry bro, there will be no problem. Didn't the hospital tell you, I can only rest and wait for it to recover slowly in this situation."

"Besides, Dr. Fu on the street is a well-known and famous doctor. Just go and see him later."

She sighed, "Master doesn't know what's going on, the three of us left today, leaving Master alone in the hospital..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jiu's cell phone rang.

As soon as Lin Jiu answered the phone, his expression became very bad.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoxi reluctantly asked.

Lin Jiu hesitated for a while, so he could only truthfully say, "It was the doctor from Master's side who called and asked if we had collected all the money."

Lin Xiaoxi urged: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and send the money over. No matter what, let's do the surgery first, and we'll figure out how to get the money later."

Fifty thousand is only a drop in the bucket for Master's operation, but it can also save the urgent need.

"But your feet..." Lin Jiu fell into a dilemma, after all, both sides are relatives.

Lin Xiaoxi said: "No matter how serious my injury is, I can't die. Master's side is a matter of life and death. You should know which is more important."

Normally, Lin Xiaoxi always acted foolishly, but now she suddenly became serious, with an irresistible majesty.Lin Jiu hesitated, and ran out with 5 yuan in his pocket.

Lin Xiaoxi lay on the old rattan chair, squinting her eyes, drowsy.

I don't know how long it took, but the ringtone of the phone made her startled.

It was Lin Jiu calling.

"The operation is scheduled for nine o'clock tomorrow morning, but... there is still a difference of 1 yuan." The voice on the other end of the phone was a little trembling.

No money is hard for a hero, where can I get the 1 yuan now?

Lin Xiaoxi suddenly thought of a place.

Footsteps came from the kitchen, "Sister, it's time to eat."

It was Lin Nanxun, who limped and brought the food to the table.

Lin Xiaoxi sat at the table, took two bites of rice in a hurry, filled his stomach, and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Lin Nanxun looked at Lin Xiaoxi in astonishment, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"You push me to the backyard later," she said.

Lin Nanxun is the most well-behaved, and he always obeys the words of his eldest brother and sister.According to Lin Xiaoxi's request, she pushed Master's wheelchair out and pushed Lin Xiaoxi to the window sill in the backyard.

Looking from the street entrance to the window sill in the backyard, you can see that a small shop is arranged here, surrounded by simple colored lights with several light signs - Tarot Secret Realm.

There are some small words next to it: the wheel of fortune, the guidance of the prophet...

Normally, Lin Xiaoxi would come here behind her back to earn some pocket money.

The master is strict, except for reading books and lion dance, they are not allowed to do anything.She had reprimanded her twice for this tarot card shop before, so Lin Xiaoxi only dared to open a small shop secretly.

The younger sister was a little worried about Lin Xiaoxi, "You don't feel well, why don't you stay in bed first? I'll figure out a way about the money."

The people who come to read the Tarot cards are all young girls, and they will give them ten or eight yuan. Even if Lin Xiaoxi's mouth is worn out, he will give at most a hundred yuan. How can he make 1 yuan overnight by relying on it.

Lin Xiaoxi glanced at Lin Nanxun sternly: "Don't act foolishly, your brother and I are here."

Lin Nanxun said: "The couple who came to our house a few years ago and wanted to adopt me came again half a month ago, saying they wanted to see me. I saw that they were very kind to me, maybe they could ask They borrow some."

"Don't even think about it." Lin Xiaoxi suddenly became anxious.

Lin Xiaoxi felt that there was something wrong with the couple a few years ago. Others went to the orphanage to pick out children who didn't remember anything. How could they find a teenage child to adopt?
It was even more strange to come to the door half a month ago. It was obvious that he came here when he saw his grandfather was sick and hospitalized.
