Chapter 79: Treatment of the Wounded
Chapter 79: Treatment of the Wounded
Cheng Bing was unable to reach the hospital; she was stopped at the entrance.
After the car drove away, many of the students who had been watching and working alongside them were still crowded at the entrance. Two teachers, who hadn't gone with them, were busy reassuring the students and urging them to go back to their classrooms: "Come on, come on, go back to your classrooms, it's alright, don't stay here..."
Cheng Bing walked against the crowd, but was recognized by one of the teachers, who waved his arm to stop her: "What are you doing out there? It's almost time for evening self-study!"
"Teacher, how are they? Are they badly injured?"
"It's alright, it's alright. The teacher is here. We'll be at the hospital soon. You all go back, go back to class. Let's go."
Cheng Bing returned to the teaching building. The third floor was still in chaos. The stairs led directly to the teachers' offices, which were in disarray both inside and outside the doors. Most of the students had already returned to their classrooms.
Li Peixiang was coming out of the teachers' office when he saw Cheng Bing and paused for a moment. "Huh? What are you doing up here?"
"I didn't go out. Do you know what happened now?"
Li Peixiang's face was also very grim. "Yeah, they were helping the teacher move the bookshelves just now, and they accidentally knocked one over, hitting Meng Xiaoyang. Nian Ge was also scratched, but the teacher said they're okay. Meng Xiaoyang might be a little more seriously injured, but Nian Ge and He Linjie should be fine." He glanced back. "Evening self-study is about to start. You should go back first. I'll tell you when they get back."
Everyone was uneasy that night. When the second class was about to end and no one had returned, Chen Yu secretly passed a note to Li Peixiang. It read: "Brother Xiang, will they stay in the hospital tonight? If so, will you come with me to check on them? I just don't know where they are. After class, I'll go back to the dorm to get my phone and call the class teacher."
Li Peixiang was already irritable, and seeing this message made him even more irritable. He scribbled a sentence: You guys are going to check the dorms tonight, I'll go by myself, I'll call you later.
It's infuriating to even talk about phone calls. The school doesn't allow electronic devices in class, and boarding students aren't allowed to take their cell phones out of the dorms. Now, we can't even send a message back.
Fortunately, after anxiously waiting for two classes, the injured finally returned.
Fang Yuenian was alright; she only suffered a scratch on her right upper arm, which was badly swollen and purple, but no bones were broken. Meng Xiaoyang dislocated her left shoulder and fractured her left wrist. He Linjie's right elbow was cut deeply by a bare nail on the back of an old bookcase, and he even had to get a tetanus shot.
It was during break time, and as soon as Fang Yuenian and Meng Xiaoyang entered the room, all the students rushed over. The homeroom teacher instructed Chen Yu and Wang Wei to take care of the two of them when they returned to the dormitory. The two of them looked quite frightening. Fang Yuenian's right arm was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and Meng Xiaoyang's entire left shoulder and arm were immobilized and suspended from his neck with a sling, and his left wrist was also in a cast.
Chen Yu quickly said, "Teacher, don't worry, we will definitely take care of them."
The homeroom teacher repeatedly gave many instructions: don't get it wet, don't let it rub against anything, especially Meng Xiaoyang, don't play around near him, it would be bad if you bumped into him. Everyone agreed, and only then did the homeroom teacher put away the big bag of medicine for them and go back to the office.
As soon as the teacher left, everyone started asking questions all at once.
"Meng Xiaoyang, is your bone broken?"
"Does it hurt? Is that a cast on your wrist?"
"Can this hand still be moved...?"
"Wow, Nian-ge, is your arm swollen or just wrapped up like that?"
"You guys don't know, He Linjie was really something back then. He practically dragged Xiaoyang out by holding the cabinet against it. By the way, what happened to him?"
"I saw him come back too, and his arm was wrapped up in a rather alarming way..."
Everyone came over to ask and touch her, very carefully. Fang Yuenian found it funny and said, "Hey, I'm actually fine. I just bumped into something and it's a little swollen."
Li Peixiang had been staring at Meng Xiaoyang ever since he came in, and now he was practically melting from the stare. Meng Xiaoyang had no choice but to say, "I'm fine, just a dislocated shoulder joint, which has been reset and will be fine after a few days of hanging up. I also have a slight fracture in my wrist."
It would have been better if we hadn't mentioned it, because once we did, everyone started arguing again.
"Ah, a fracture..."
Is it badly cracked?
"Does a dislocated shoulder stop hurting once it's put back in? I see that on TV. Xiaoyang, are you in pain now?"
Xu Buran was about to reach out and touch it again when Li Peixiang slapped his hand away. "What are you doing? It'll be easy to take it off again even if it's put back on, don't you know that? Don't touch me like that!"
Xu Buran rubbed his hands together. "I'll just take a look..."
Fang Yue Nian had witnessed Meng Xiaoyang's ability to endure pain all the way. The three people on the bus were injured in various ways, but none of them made a sound, which scared the grade leader so much that he thought they had fainted from the pain.
Fortunately, both of them injured their left hands. Doing other things would be a bit more strenuous, but it wouldn't stop them from writing. He Linjie injured his right hand, which, although not seriously, would still be uncomfortable for a while.
Thinking about this, he felt strange. This He Linjie was really... hard to describe. Just looking at how bravely he saved people just now, he couldn't possibly match the person who seemed disgusted by even the slightest thing about Meng Xiaoyang.
"Brother Nian, are your bones alright? When can the bandages be removed? Do you two still need to go to the hospital regularly?" Chen Yu asked.
"Oh, I'll just have my dressing changed at the school clinic a few times. I don't need to go to the hospital anymore. Meng Xiaoyang needs to go check on the repositioning in a few days, and the cast on his hand also needs to be removed. I estimate that will be after the exams."
"Okay, oh right, Cheng Bing came up twice tonight to ask about your situation, you..." Chen Yu's gaze turned to the window, "Hey, isn't that him? He's here!"
Cheng Bing had been keeping an eye on the parking area outside the square. Just before get out of class ended, she saw a group of people come in and knew they were back. As soon as the bell rang, she ran up immediately.
Fang Yue Nian could tell something was wrong from the distance when she saw his expression was unusually cold, so she quickly went outside, calling out, "Brother Cheng!"
Cheng Bing's gaze fell on his arm, and her brows furrowed.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I just bumped into something, it's a little swollen, and there's a cut, but it's not deep. I'll change the dressing a couple of times and it'll be fine. My bones are okay, and everything else is fine." Fang Yuenian quickly threw out a bunch of "I'm fine" statements. "Don't worry,"
Cheng Bing: "Does it hurt a lot?"
"It hurt a bit at the time, but I don't feel anything now."
Cheng Bing cautiously reached out to touch her, but Fang Yuenian was a little embarrassed and stepped back slightly. "Hey, don't touch me. Um, class is about to start, you should go down now. I'll talk to you when we get back to the dorm."
Cheng Bing pursed his lips. There were people inside and outside the classroom, and a few were even peering out the window at the two of them. So he withdrew his hand. "Okay, be careful. How's Meng Xiaoyang? And what about He Linjie?"
"Meng Xiaoyang's injury is a little serious, but it's okay. He didn't break any bones, but his shoulder was dislocated and he had a small crack in his wrist. They're all immobilized now, so it's nothing serious. He Linjie was scratched by a nail, and the wound is quite deep. He got a tetanus shot, and it didn't damage any bones."
Cheng Bing nodded. "I'll come find you after class."
“Okay,” Fang Yuenian said. Just then, the school bell rang, and he quickly nudged his shoulder, “Class is starting, class is starting, let’s go.”
Both injured people were quite calm and even busied themselves with doing their homework, which looked rather inspiring.
When get out of class ended, the homeroom teacher brought in two boxes of milk. Knowing that Li Peixiang was close to the four boys in the dormitory, he asked him to help carry them to the dormitory.
Fang Yuenian was startled and quickly said, "Teacher, I, my bones are fine, you don't need to give them to me, give them all to Meng Xiaoyang."
Class teacher: "What nonsense are you talking about? The wounds are so big. Remember to change the dressing every two days. Xiao Yang, you need to be more careful. Are you sure your parents aren't going to contact you?"
Meng Xiaoyang said, "Thank you, teacher, but really, it's not necessary. I'll talk to them again after I finish the exam."
The mention of exams is nerve-wracking, and this incident just before the big exam has happened. The homeroom teacher wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Alright, alright, hurry back. Be careful when you take a shower, don't get wet. Li Peixiang, take him in."
"Yes, teacher."
Cheng Bing arrived quite early and happened to run into their homeroom teacher who had just finished giving instructions. The teacher saw him at the door and remembered him, so he asked, "Oh, you're Cheng Bing from Class 18, right? I remember you and Fang Yuenian were quite close."
"Hello, teacher."
"Alright, alright, you're looking for Fang Yuenian, right? Go ahead, go ahead."
Cheng Bing bowed slightly to him and walked away.
As it turned out, besides him, not only Li Peixiang, several other boys volunteered to escort the wounded, carrying medicine and helping with their backpacks. The large group practically carried the two of them back to their dormitory. The dormitory supervisor at the entrance was taken aback, thinking something serious had happened.
Taking a shower at night is indeed troublesome. Although there is a special waterproof plastic cover, it is inconvenient to do anything with your arms raised. Chen Yu once offered to go in and help, but was resolutely refused by the two wounded soldiers with special circumstances.
As Fang Yuenian washed, she thought, "I don't even let Brother Cheng come in when he's outside, how could I let you in?"
Chen Yu had no choice but to chat with Cheng Bing outside. He still didn't give up on the idea of letting her come and live with him. "Hey Cheng Bing, you can really move in now. When you're in your senior year of high school, just say you want to live with us, and no one will stop you. Besides, Xiao Yang and Nian Ge are both good students, and your homeroom teacher doesn't need to worry about us leading you astray."
Wang Wei was helping Meng Xiaoyang put on a plastic shield when he heard this and said angrily, "It's one thing for you to discriminate against yourself, but what do you mean that Brother Nian and Xiaoyang are good students, but I'm not?"
Chen Yu: "Let's talk again when you can get into the top 300 in the exam. You've already sworn several times. Or forget it, let's lower our expectations and just get into the top 400."
Wang Wei cursed, "Bullshit! If I get into the top 300 this time, you fucking remember to wash my socks for a month!"
"Fine, I'll gamble then. Are you trying to scare me?"
In the midst of the argument, Meng Xiaoyang weakly shouted, "Fang Yuenian! Why aren't you done washing yet?"
Fang Yuenian was furious at the argument outside. Was this some kind of invitation for someone to stay over? He shouted, "Okay, Brother Cheng, come help me out."
Cheng Bing walked over and asked through the door, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong," Fang Yuenian said, opening the door with a damp feeling in her clothes. She draped a towel over her shoulder and raised her arm. "Perfect! I didn't get hurt at all. Okay, I'm fine. You can go back to your dorm."
Cheng Bing squinted at him, then turned around, as if making a declaration: "I will apply to live here next semester."
Chen Yu and Wang Wei, who were bickering, and Meng Xiaoyang, who was speechless and facepalming: "..."
Chen Yu: "Okay!"
Wang Wei: "A warm welcome!"
Fang Yuenian quickly said, "I know, I know, let's go, let's go quickly, you still need to take a shower, don't waste time."
He pushed Cheng Bing out, and she stood at the door, whispering, "Be careful when you sleep tonight."
"I know, I'm fine..."
"How many times have you said 'I'm fine' all night?" Cheng Bing asked. "Don't rush to comfort me, can you take care of yourself first?"
"Oh," Fang Yuenian blinked, "I understand."
