Just when Qiao Chu and the others were about to walk out of the basketball court, something strange happened. The basketball in a boy's hand flew out of his hand and flew out of the court at an extremely fast speed, smashing towards Qiao Chu with the force of thunder.
“Be careful—”
“Get out of the way!”
Qiao Chu heard everyone's shouting and the sound of a basketball cutting through the air, but when he turned around, it was too late. The basketball was in front of her. In order to avoid being disfigured, she subconsciously blocked it with her right hand.
"ah--"
Qiao Chu felt a sharp pain in his forearm, and then he could not bear the force of the basketball and fell to the ground.
"Xiao Qiao!"
“Oh no!”
"He hit someone!"
Jia Xianxian, Chen Ling, the basketball players, and various related and unrelated people who were watching all ran over and nervously checked on Qiao Chu's condition.
"Xiao Qiao, how are you?"
Jia Xianxian carefully helped Qiao Chu up, patted the dirt off her body, and asked with concern: "Is it damaged?"
Qiao Chu held his right arm, his face showing pain, his face pale, cold sweat on his forehead, "My right arm hurts so much, it seems... I can't move..."
Jia Xianxian was shocked: "What?"
At this time, the boy who just lost his grip also ran to Qiao Chu and said at a loss: "Qiao Chu, are you okay?"
Jia Xianxian was immediately furious: "How can it be okay? Didn't you see that everyone was knocked down by you? How do you play basketball? If you don't know how to play, don't come out and embarrass yourself. Now you've made Xiao Qiao like this, what do you say we should do!"
“I…I…”
The boy became even more panicked and was speechless for a moment.
“It hurts…”
Qiao Chu cried out in pain again. She felt a piercing pain in her right arm. She had never felt such severe pain before. Tears welled up in her eyes and she was about to cry.
Seeing her in so much pain, Jia Xianxian didn't know what to do. The culprit was still standing there stupidly, and she became angry again, "Lu Chao! You are such a troublemaker! You are the sports committee member, you are the captain of the basketball team, and your level is so poor!"
Lu Chao was scolded so much that he couldn't even raise his head.
"Xianxian, stop scolding him. It's useless to scold him now. Let's send Xiao Qiao to the infirmary. Her right hand seems to be injured."
Shen Ling quickly stopped Jia Xianxian who was about to continue scolding, and then everyone helped Qiao Chu to the infirmary on the first floor of the teaching building.
"What's wrong?"
The school doctor asked as he looked at the large group of people rushing in.
"Teacher, my friend was hit by a basketball and his right hand seems to be injured."
The school doctor hurried over, gently held Qiao Chu's right arm, and examined it carefully.
"There are so many people here that it's hard to squeeze in. Other students who are not involved should leave."
The school doctor gently lifted Qiao Chu's arm and asked, "How is it? Do you feel anything?"
“Ah—it hurts—”
Qiao Chu screamed in pain immediately, tears finally streaming down her face. She was already fifteen years old, a grown-up girl, and she didn't want to cry, but it was just too painful...
“Woo-woo-woo—”
When Jia Xianxian saw Qiao Chu crying, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she asked anxiously: "Teacher, what should we do? Is she okay?"
The school doctor said solemnly, "Not good. I think it's a fracture. I can't treat it here. Call your class teacher and ask him to take her to the hospital."
"Ah? Broken bones? That's serious!"
Jia Xianxian was stunned. How painful it must be to break a bone. No wonder Xiao Qiao was crying.
Shen Ling hurriedly said: “Xianxian, you stay here with Xiao Qiao, I’ll go find Teacher Liu.”
"Okay, go ahead."
Although it cannot be cured, the school doctor still bandaged Qiao Chu's arm simply and fixed it with a bandage to prevent the injury from getting worse due to the bumpy ride on the way to the hospital.
"How's Qiao Chu?"
As soon as the bandage was done, the class teacher Liu Qing rushed to the infirmary. When she heard that something happened to Qiao Chu, she was so scared that she almost lost her soul. She dropped the lunch she had just taken a bite of and ran over here.
Qiao Chu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. Jia Xianxian cried, "Teacher Liu, Qiao Chu's right hand is broken."
Broken bone? Or the right hand?
Liu Qing took a deep breath and said in disbelief: "Is it so serious? How did it happen?"
"It's Lu Chao..."
The school doctor interrupted their conversation and said, "Don't worry about the reason for now. Take her to the hospital immediately. She needs treatment. A fracture cannot be delayed."
"Yes, Qiao Chu, don't worry, the teacher will take you to the hospital right away."
Jia Xianxian was worried, so she followed them. The two of them carefully supported Qiao Chu and rushed to the nearest hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, the orthopedic doctor conducted a face-to-face consultation and took an X-ray, which confirmed that there was indeed a fracture.
——Fracture of ulna in right forearm.
The human forearm is composed of two slender tubular bones. The bone on the thumb side is called the radius, and the bone on the little finger side is called the ulna. The ulna is located on the outside of the forearm and is very thin. The basketball hit Qiao Chu's ulna right on the head. How could such a fragile bone withstand the violent impact of the basketball? Fracture was inevitable.
"What? Still need a cast?"
When Liu Qing heard the doctor say that she needed a cast, she screamed.
The doctor who was writing the prescription was startled by her. He glanced at her and said, "Of course, it's a broken bone and it must be put in a cast. Not only does it require a cast, but you also have to stay still for a month and a half."
"Can't move for a month and a half? Doctor, she's still a student. She needs to write. Besides, she has to participate in a competition in a few days. How can she compete if her right hand can't move?"
The doctor said helplessly, "It's useless to say anything. She wants to participate in the Nobel Prize and can't move her right hand. There's nothing I can do about it. Have you heard that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone? This is the law of nature. The half month I mentioned is based on the premise that the patient recovers well. If the recovery is not good, it may take longer."
"Ah, this...what should I do?"
Liu Qing was panicking. If you let a student not be able to use his right hand for a month and a half, it would definitely affect his studies. How should she explain this to Qiao Chu's parents and the school...
The school leaders are hoping that Qiao Chu will come back with the first place in the country!
After paying the fee, Liu Qing took Qiao Chu to the plaster room to apply plaster. The bones must be straightened before applying plaster. The doctor who set Qiao Chu's bones was an old doctor who had been in this field for more than 30 years and had considerable experience. However, the doctor's rich experience could not avoid the pain of bone setting, and he refused to give anesthesia. The process was like hell, and the whole plaster room was filled with Qiao Chu's screams.
“Ah—ah—”
While Qiao Chu was getting a cast, Wang Yisheng brought the culprit to the hospital.
The boy who got into trouble was called Lu Chao. He was the physical education committee member of Class 5 in Grade 2, and his class teacher happened to be Wang Yisheng.
Wang Yisheng is extremely irritable now. Everything has been going smoothly for him recently and he feels that he has reached the peak of his life. He did not expect that his most proud student would get into trouble at this time.
When he heard that Qiao Chu was in trouble and his right hand was broken, he felt like the sky was falling...
Broken bone... and it happened to be on the right hand...
He wished it was himself who had his bones broken!
Since loud noises were not allowed in the hospital, he lowered his voice and roared, "Why are you playing basketball in the middle of the day instead of taking a rest? It's fine if you play basketball, but you hit someone! He was just walking, did you provoke me? Isn't such a big basketball court enough for you to show your skills? Why did you have to play outside the court? Do you know Qiao Chu? She will participate in the finals of the National Mathematics Competition in a few days, and now you have hurt her like this? What should I do! Are you going to compete for her?"
Lu Chao lowered his head in shame, not saying a word. He was about to cry. He really didn't expect things to turn out like this, and he regretted it very much.
He was an admirer of Qiao Chu and always regarded her as his goddess. He once mustered up the courage to write several love letters to her, but received no response, which made him unwilling to accept the fact.
When he was playing basketball today, he happened to see Qiao Chu passing by. He remembered the common plots in idol dramas, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Without time to think about it, he threw the basketball in his hand towards Qiao Chu.
He originally wanted to hit her, so that at most she would suffer a minor injury, and then he could take the opportunity to get to know Qiao Chu. Under the pretext of apologizing, maybe they could spark some romance, which would also be a good story.
Unexpectedly, he misjudged his own strength and smashed the person into this state...
He did it on purpose, but in this situation, he really didn't dare to tell the truth.
"Teacher Wang, I think he did it on purpose! He's the captain of the basketball team, how could he make such a low-level mistake!"
Jia Xianxian, who couldn't stand staying in the plaster room any longer, came out and saw Lu Chao standing outside. Thinking of the suffering her good friend had endured, she became furious.
"Teacher Wang, don't be fooled by him! He must be taking revenge on purpose! He has always had a crush on Qiao Chu, but Qiao Chu was so focused on studying that she ignored him. He failed to win her love, so he deliberately hit Qiao Chu with a basketball!"
"I……"
Lu Chao's face flushed red, and he was unable to refute.
"Really? Lu Chao..." Wang Yisheng's face turned completely dark, and he looked at Lu Chao sinisterly and asked.
Lu Chao could even hear the sound of him grinding his teeth and was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.
"I think you are still too idle. There is so much knowledge waiting for you to learn, but you still have the mind to think about those messy things. It seems that I should ask your parents to come over and have a good chat..."
"No, Mr. Wang, please don't ask my parents to come. I really know I was wrong. I promise to study hard in the future and I won't make the same mistake again..."
A young man finally couldn't bear it anymore. He begged in the hospital corridor, but no one sympathized with him...
When Qiao Chu finished applying the plaster, Qiao Weimin also came. He heard on the phone that Qiao Chu was in trouble and was admitted to the hospital. He almost fainted and couldn't even take care of the store. He hurried over.
He saw Qiao Chu's arm was covered in a thick plaster cast and asked nervously, "How is it? Are you okay?"
Qiao Chu's eyes were red and swollen. "My right arm is broken. The doctor said I can't use my right hand for a month and a half. Come back in a month to take an X-ray and see how it's recovering."
"Broken bone? Does it hurt?"
Qiao Chu shook his head: "It doesn't hurt so much now. It hurt a lot just now."
Qiao Weimin's heart ached even more. He looked at Qiao Chu's pale face and said, "Come on, Dad will take you home. Go home and have a good rest."
He turned to look at Liu Qing next to him and asked, "Are you Qiao Chu's teacher? Can I take her home today? The child has suffered so much that she may not be able to go to school today."
Liu Qing nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, it's okay to rest for a few more days, don't worry, I will make arrangements. As for the missed courses, I will find a way to help Qiao Chu catch up. You can rest assured to take her back."
Qiao Weimin nodded and thanked him.
At this time, Wang Yisheng came up and asked with concern: "Qiao Chu, are you feeling better? Go home and have a rest. As for the culprit who hurt you, the teacher will punish him for you."
Qiao Chu nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Wang."
Qiao Weimin looked at Lu Chao standing behind Wang Yisheng, thinking that this was the culprit who had injured his daughter, and he immediately wanted to rush up and beat him up. It took him a lot of effort to control himself. After thinking about it, he finally did nothing and helped Qiao Chu leave.
Beating someone in front of Teacher Qiao Chu might have a bad influence on Qiao Chu. Besides, it’s better to leave this kind of naughty child to his parents to educate him themselves when he returns home.
