Chapter 26 Lu Xun Injured
After chatting with He Yuting, Zhao Yulian chatted with Ning Xuan for a while about some trivial matters in the educated youth compound. Then, seeing that it was almost time, she said she had to go back.
Ning Xuan escorted her to the door, and after she called Liang Qingqing out and the group exchanged greetings, Ning Xuan went back inside.
Today was her turn to cook. She planned to make braised pork and green beans with rice, and then make an extra soup. She was just being lazy and wanted to cook everything in one pot.
When she was halfway through cooking, Xu Jiajia came out of the room, seemingly having taken a nap.
"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep at this hour?" Ning Xuan asked.
Xu Jiajia yawned, "I accidentally overslept. I only meant to take a nap."
Ning Xuan understood; she had experienced this many times before. She planned to sleep for half an hour to an hour, but when she woke up, the sun had already set and it was time for dinner.
"The meal is ready, and then we'll make some soup. They should be back soon, right?" Ning Xuan asked.
Xu Jiajia nodded, because Lu Xun and the others had told her when they left in the morning that they wouldn't be back for dinner during the day, but would be back for dinner.
When Ningxuan finished cooking, the two still hadn't returned. The weather was getting a bit chilly, and the food would get cold if they waited any longer.
"Why don't we eat first and save their portion?" Xu Jiajia was a little worried about Lu Xun and the others, but she didn't want Ning Xuan to go hungry either.
Before Ning Xuan could answer, there was a noise at the door. "They must be back."
Xu Jiajia was the first to stand up and look, and Ning Xuan followed behind. When they saw what was going on, they were both shocked. Lu Xun was being carried back by Zhou Zhipeng, and his face was deathly pale.
"What's wrong with Brother Zhipeng and Brother Xun?" Xu Jiajia asked anxiously.
Zhou Zhipeng didn't have time to answer. He hurriedly carried Lu Xun to his room, and after putting Lu Xun down, he whispered, "He's injured. Don't disturb anyone."
"Jiajia, go boil some water. Ningxuan, can you help warm Ah Xun's wound?"
Ning Xuan nodded.
Lu Xun seemed to be seriously injured. Although he was still conscious, he could no longer lift his hand. He was injured on his side, and there was a large gash on his waist. His clothes were covered in blood, and the smell of blood was very strong.
Ning Xuan was a little scared. After thinking for a moment, she sent a message on the system asking Lin Yuhan to check the wound care instructions for her. Then she started rummaging through the warehouse for gauze.
After a while, Zhou Zhipeng returned, looking very unwell. "Ah Xun, I couldn't find the medicine. I probably forgot it when I packed my things. I was so careless. Why don't I take you to the clinic first?"
Lu Xun said in a low voice, "Don't go to the clinic."
Ning Xuan didn't have time to think about whether it would arouse suspicion. "Zhou Zhipeng, you press the wound. I have some gauze. Let's stop the bleeding first."
At this moment, Zhou Zhipeng was anxious and didn't think too much. He listened to Ning Xuan's words and went up to help press the wound.
Ning Xuan quickly ran back to her room, took out gauze and scissors, and then quickly ran to Lu Xun. She took out a roll of gauze and asked Zhou Zhipeng to use it to press on the wound to stop the bleeding.
Then she unbuttoned Lu Xun's shirt so that she could wrap a bandage around his waist to bandage his wound later.
"This wound is so deep, it's best to go to the hospital. I'm afraid of infection." Ning Xuan frowned, somewhat puzzled as to why Lu Xun was unwilling to see a doctor. Could it be that some enemy did it, and he's afraid of being exposed at the hospital?
Lu Xun gently shook his head, "Don't worry, I can pull through."
Ning Xuan was puzzled, but she couldn't stop him. She could only bite the bullet and say, "Then I'll use this to disinfect your wound first. It might hurt a bit, so please bear with it."
Ning Xuan took out hydrogen peroxide. After Lu Xun nodded, she asked Zhou Zhipeng to support Lu Xun slightly so that his wound was close to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) so that the kang wouldn't get wet when cleaning the wound.
Ning Xuan chose this medicine based on Lin Yuhan's reply. Neither of them were medical students, and the information was found online. Ning Xuan had no choice but to try it out.
I gritted my teeth and rinsed the wound with hydrogen peroxide, then quickly used gauze to absorb the excess blood. The blood was still flowing, but not as much as before.
Then, several thick layers of gauze were applied to the wound, and a bandage was wrapped around the waist several times to properly bandage it.
While being bandaged, Ning Xuan was distracted and thought, "What a ruthless person! He didn't even groan when he got such a serious wound. The hydrogen peroxide cleaning will hurt a bit, but he only frowned a little."
Ning Xuan thought that she probably wouldn't have made a sound either, because she would have fainted long ago.
"This is the only way to handle it for now. Zhou Zhipeng, keep an eye on him tonight and change the gauze as needed. Also, make sure he doesn't get a fever."
Ning Xuan left the remaining hydrogen peroxide and gauze bandages with Lu Xun.
Then, Xu Jiajia's hot water was ready, so Ning Xuan and Xu Jiajia left the room and asked Zhou Zhipeng to help Lu Xun wipe his body and clean the blood off other parts of his body.
Zhou Zhipeng's clothes were also stained with a lot of blood, but he wasn't injured, so we cleaned Lu Xun's clothes first.
Ning Xuan then remembered that they had made cured pork rice tonight. The cured pork was quite salty and not suitable for an injured person to eat.
"I'll make Lu Xun some noodles again; it's not good for him to eat cured meat right now."
Xu Jiajia said, "Why don't I do it? You eat first."
Ning Xuan didn't agree. "It was my turn to cook today. There's still some soup in the pot. I'll scoop out half for us to eat, and the rest will be perfect for Lu Xun to cook noodles. It'll be quick."
While Ning Xuan was cooking noodles, she also heated up the food on another burner. By the time the noodles were ready, the food was also heated up.
Zhou Zhipeng took the initiative to feed Lu Xun, letting Xu Jiajia and the other person eat first.
Ning Xuan stopped being polite and ate the meal with Xu Jiajia.
Meanwhile, in Lu Xun's room, seeing that Lu Xun's bleeding had finally stopped, her hands stopped trembling. "A Xun, it's all my fault. If I had been more careful, you wouldn't have suffered such a serious injury."
As he spoke, the tall man, who was over six feet tall, started to cry. Lu Xun endured the pain and said, "We've been brothers for years, don't talk about these things. And don't be a grown man crying like this. Let me eat my noodles properly."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhipeng quickly wiped away his tears and then focused on holding the bowl for Lu Xun. Indeed, Lu Xun felt it was strange to be fed by a grown man. Since his other hand, which was not close to the wound, was still mobile, he had to pick up the noodles himself.
However, he can only use one hand for now, so someone has to help him hold the rice bowl.
The two chatted while eating.
"I'm injured, so don't go up the mountain by yourself. Let's put the cooperation over there on hold for now."
Although Zhou Zhipeng felt it was a pity, he knew the importance of the matter and could only nod.
What the two of them didn't expect was that although they lowered their voices for the rest of the conversation, Ning Xuan's physical condition had improved after eating Daliwa, and it seemed that even her hearing had improved. Since the kitchen was close to Lu Xun's room, Ning Xuan still managed to hear their conversation.
Ning Xuan also made guesses about what the two of them had done, as well as why Lu Xun was injured and unwilling to go to the clinic.
