Out of the lion

A smell of disinfectant surrounded people like sea water, making Lin Xiaoxi feel nauseous while lying on the bed.She hated hospitals since she was a child, and she couldn't get used to the smell of disinfectant.

"Brother Jiu, sister is awake."

Lin Nanxun's voice came from next to his ear.

Lin Xiaoxi opened his eyes, and saw Lin Nanxun's red eyes from crying, feeling a little distressed.

Lin Jiu came out from behind Lin Nanxun, stared at Lin Xiaoxi worriedly, and wrinkled the word "Chuan" between his brows.

"Then here..." He wanted to pull away to see the situation at the master's side, but he was worried about Lin Xiaoxi who had just undergone a life-and-death operation.

Nan Xun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Brother Jiu, just leave it to me here, and I'll call you if there's anything I need."

Lin Xiaoxi's head was dizzy and confused. Hearing what his elder brother and sister said, he suddenly thought of Master's situation, and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation with Master?"

With a heavy heart, Lin Jiu gritted his teeth and gave Nan Xun an entrusting look before turning around and walking out of the ward without answering.

"Eh? Brother Jiu, why are you leaving? What's the matter with Master?"

Lin Xiaoxi was at a loss.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at Nan Xun. Nan Xun wiped away her tears and turned to pour water.

Lin Xiaoxi was terrified, grabbed Nan Xun's hand, and asked, "What's the situation with Master? You are not allowed to lie?"

Seeing that Nan Xun kept her mouth shut, Lin Xiaoxi pointed at her nose ferociously and added: "Don't say anything!"

Just as Lin Nanxun was about to speak, tears poured out like running water.

"Master is still undergoing surgery, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead."

Hearing what she said, Lin Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief.

She let go of her sister's hand and sighed: "Isn't this still undergoing surgery, why are you crying?"

As soon as the voice fell, he suddenly became nervous, and asked Nan Xun: "Could it be that the doctor didn't perform the operation because the money wasn't paid enough?"

"That's not true." Lin Xiaoxi said, "Master's surgery fee has been paid, and your treatment fee has almost been paid."

Lin Xiaoxi thought of the watch he stole from Li Mo, and muttered, "It seems that the things in that kid's hands are really valuable."

Nan Xun's childish face was full of worry, "Sister, we're going to lie to people, nothing will happen, right?"

"This is what he owes me!" Lin Xiaoxi became angry when he thought of Li Mo.This kid beat her unconscious for the treasure in his purse back then, regardless of his deep friendship!

Nan Xun heard something wrong in her words, and asked hesitantly, "Do you know each other?"

Lin Xiaoxi didn't know what to say, so she just said vaguely: "The people I knew when I was young don't know why they came to me. Just think that God sent him to me to atone for the sins of the past."

Nan Xun asked: "What if he comes to us and asks for the watch back?"

Lin Xiaoxi hadn't thought about this question at all, and her situation at the time couldn't allow her to think about these questions.

"When the time comes, if something goes wrong, I will bear it alone." She was always so chivalrous.If the master heard it, he would reprimand her again for not being a girl.

Lin Xiaoxi saw Nan Xun's crying face, and waved his hands nonchalantly, "Okay, okay, don't worry about it, at worst, we will take on more performances, earn the money back, and redeem the watch and return it to that guy when we have saved enough. The one surnamed Li will be fine."

Nan Xun said, "I'm afraid they will make things difficult for you."

Lin Xiaoxi looked fearless, "The person who dares to embarrass me hasn't been born yet!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, what's going on here, why can't my legs move?"

It was only at this time that Lin Xiaoxi saw her right leg covered in plaster.

During the lion dance competition, she fell from the golden pagoda, and the most painful part of the fall was her right leg.From the looks of it, it's probably broken.

Just at this time, the nurse came in to make rounds.After asking some questions as usual, he exhorted: "Don't run around, you must rest in peace."

While recording the ward round data in the notebook, the nurse murmured to herself: "You are lively enough. You were given anesthesia for the operation, and you danced and danced to perform a lion dance. You made the doctors very uncomfortable."

Lin Xiaoxi was embarrassed when he heard it, and wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

The nurse put away the notebook, stared at Lin Xiaoxi with a serious expression, and sighed regretfully: "You have to listen to the doctor's advice. Even if you recover, you can't dance the lion again, or the injury will recur. At that time, it won't be hospitalized for surgery. Simple, and very likely to be paralyzed for life."

Lin Xiaoxi suddenly became nervous, "What do you mean?"

The nurse looked curiously at Nan Xun beside him, "You haven't told her yet?"

Nan Xun lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to say anything.

The nurse turned to Lin Xiaoxi and said, "Just remember what I said."

After speaking, he shook his head and left the ward.

Lin Xiaoxi stared at Nan Xun, her eyes filled with tears and her lips trembled slightly.

After a long time, she choked up and asked, "What do you mean?"

Nan Xun couldn't bear it anymore, she cried even more than Lin Xiaoxi all of a sudden, "Sister, anyway, when Master asks us to practice lion dance, you always want to be lazy and stop dancing if you don't dance." , it’s no big deal. If I, Lin Nan, find something to eat in the future, I will never starve you, and I will support you in the future!”

Lin Xiaoxi's mind suddenly went blank.

Nan Xun was right, usually when the master asked her to practice the lion dance, her nimble little mind was always thinking about how to be lazy.Not only was he lazy by himself, but he also brought his younger sister and elder brother to be lazy together, which caused old man Lin a lot of headaches.

but!

For the family, lion dancing is the only means of livelihood.

When one person falls, it means that the whole lion dance team has to rest.

Thinking back to those days, how majestic and majestic the dragon and lion dance was.No matter what the occasion is, as long as the title of "Chasing Dragon and Lion Dance" is reported, it will definitely cause a big commotion. Many people would rather run barefoot for twenty or thirty miles, rolling hills and climbing trees to see the beauty .Now, when they go out on an expedition, there are only three lonely people. It's okay to be looked down upon by others, and even if something goes wrong, they will be talked about.

Thinking of the scene of falling from the golden pagoda, Lin Xiaoxi was angry and hated.

Lin Xiaoxi saw the business card on the corner of the table, which was given to her by Li Mo.

She took the business card and remembered Li Mo's appearance.

In fact, Li Mo didn't have any inappropriate expressions in front of Lin Xiaoxi, but for some reason, every time Lin Xiaoxi thought of him, he would automatically imagine him as indifferent and unfeeling.

His knowing smile became a smug complacency in her mind.

The heaviness of his reunion with an old friend became "I don't know what this fox is planning" in her eyes.

In short, from the moment Li Mo knocked Lin Xiaoxi unconscious ten years ago, he is no longer a good person.

Thinking of these things, Lin Xiaoxi's teeth itch with hatred, and the business card was crumpled into a ball.

Now that the leg is covered with plaster and Master needs someone to take care of him, how can he do the lion dance?Thinking of missing out on Li Mo's chance to make a fortune, Lin Xiaoxi felt unhappy all over.

"Nan Xun." Lin Xiaoxi suddenly became serious, startling Lin Nanxun, "Did the doctor say when I would be discharged from the hospital?"

Nan Xun was afraid that Lin Xiaoxi would be impulsive and would "break out of prison" again, so he hurriedly asked, "Sister, what do you want to do? You can't play around. What if you really end up permanently disabled?"

Lin Xiaoxi said: "Look at you, what are you doing so nervous? I'm just asking. I'm already lying here, my feet are still hanging, what can I do?"

Nan Xun was right when he thought about it, and said truthfully: "It will probably take more than a month. I saw a patient before, who was in the hospital for more than a month."

Taking advantage of Nan Xun's time to pick up the water, Lin Xiaoxi spread out the crumpled business card and dialed the number on it.

After the phone got through, the long "beep" made her feel inexplicably nervous.

The phone was connected, and it was Jiang Chu's voice: "Hello, Miss Lin, I will pass the phone to Mr. Li immediately."

Lin Xiaoxi's usual omnipotent appearance was shattered at this moment, leaving only a little bit of unsteady stubbornness to hold on.

In just a few seconds, it seemed as long as a century. She clearly heard her heartbeat gradually accelerating.

"Xiao Xi."

Li Mo's voice suddenly sounded, still as kind as in memory.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxi suddenly felt very regretful. If there was no incident ten years ago, they would have been good friends for life, right?
Although "I will marry you when I grow up" is a silly saying of her childhood, and "You can only marry my Li family when you grow up" is a saying of his when he was young, which cannot be counted, but those friendships are true. is sincere...

Fate is such a trick. After ten years, the best friend, childhood sweetheart, came to the opposite side.
