In the previous life, the IF line was cultivated
Bang--
There was a loud crash suddenly. Two cars below the residential building collided with each other in the rainy night. In an instant, the front of the car was dented and debris flew everywhere.
Ning Chen was thrown out along with the car door which had not been closed in time. Ning Chen only felt that the scene in front of him suddenly spun and twisted tremendously, and there was a loud bang in his ears. Then, his vision was stained with an indelible blood red.
Blood soaked his long eyelashes, and Ning's mind was still confused. He seemed unable to control his body.
He had clearly lost all perception of the outside world, but in his blurry blood-red vision, he could still see the thin figure running towards him in panic.
Ning Chen instinctively wanted to open his mouth to speak, but his throat was blocked by blood, and as soon as he opened his mouth, blood gushed out continuously.
The rain on a winter night is very cold. It washes away the mess on the ground and stings the wounds. It is so cold that it makes you numb, yet so painful that you feel extremely hurt.
The child came closer but didn't dare to touch him. His tears mixed with rain fell on Ning Chen's motionless fingers, and after a long time, Ning Chen's numb body felt a little warmth.
The sounds of passersby calling the police, the movement of children holding umbrellas to shield him from the rain, the sobbing voices asking him not to sleep, the sound of the cold rain hitting the ground and the umbrella, and the sharp and repetitive sound of sirens.
The surroundings were noisy and chaotic, and my peaceful mind began to recede and become blurred like the tide.
His calm eyes had quietly closed at some point, his face turning pale from excessive blood loss and cold.
The child was trembling all over. He knelt in front of the unconscious Ning Chen in a daze, watching the blood gradually spreading from under Ning Chen's body. In the distance, the crushed cake was all over the ground, being washed away by the rain without anyone paying attention. The sweet and sticky breath mixed with the lingering smell of blood went straight into people's nostrils.
The umbrella in the child's hand was not big, and it was enough to provide shelter for a standing person, but it was not enough to completely cover an adult lying on the ground.
The child was shivering all over, and he tried to tilt the umbrella to cover Ning Chen's head and upper body, so that at least Ning Chen would not get too many wounds from the rain.
A neighboring lady stayed by the side after she called the police. She saw the children getting soaked and cold outside the umbrella, but she insisted on holding the umbrella over the unconscious person on the ground. She felt that both children had a miserable life.
The mother held an umbrella over the child and comforted him, "Child, the police and doctors will be here soon, don't cry, don't cry."
The child was wearing a down jacket that was obviously one size too big. It was a bit old but very clean. It was probably not his size. He looked too thin, with bruises that had not yet healed on his exposed thin neck and backs of his hands. No passerby could recognize that he had just reached adulthood.
The ambulance and police car arrived very quickly, but unfortunately the black car that caused the accident fled at high speed after hitting the people, so the police were unable to catch the driver in time and had to deal with the injured first.
The doctor rushed over, carefully lifted Ning Chen onto a stretcher, and then sent him to the ambulance.
The child was completely unaware that his lips had been bitten and bleeding, and most of his body was also stained with Ning Chen's blood. He watched Ning Chen being pushed into the ambulance, and for some reason he suddenly propped up his wet and frozen body and staggered after him.
But he had been kneeling on the ground for too long, and his knees were so stiff, cold and painful that he had lost all feeling. He had just stood up and taken a few steps when he suddenly groaned and fell to the ground.
The ambulance moved extremely quickly. In just a short while, the patient was secured and pushed into the ambulance. All the passengers were seated, and the ambulance drove out as soon as the door was closed.
There is no time to waste in rescuing the injured. The child fell so quickly that he was already too late to catch up with the ambulance.
He didn't care about anything else and just stood up subconsciously and continued to chase.
But how can I catch up?
He stumbled and chased after him, falling down countless times, until his body was covered in mud and blood, dirty, with his knees and palms a blur.
The child was in so much pain that he couldn't get up. He lowered his head and saw that Ning Shen's coat had been worn in several places from countless running and falling. He was stunned.
The mother hurried over and picked the child up, muttering distressedly, "Alright, alright, leave her to the police and doctors, Xiao Ning will be fine. Ah, be obedient, you're soaked, let's go back first."
The child looked down at the wear and tear on his coat, his whole body trembling more and more violently, tears falling silently.
He had nothing to begin with. Now, because Ning Chen was still worried about his life or death, he even destroyed the coat that Ning Chen had forced on him.
Why is he so useless?
People like him are destined to be a burden and a nuisance to others if they live in this world.
If he had died earlier, would Ning Chen have avoided such a thing?
Yes or no?
The mother hurried over and picked the child up, muttering distressedly, "Alright, alright, leave her to the police and doctors, Xiao Ning will be fine. Ah, be obedient, you're soaked, let's go back first."
He felt that his soul was in a daze, and had gone with Ning Chen. He didn't even realize when he returned home.
The police are investigating the car accident. The injured have been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Fortunately, they are still alive and have no injuries to the brain and spine. They only have multiple comminuted fractures and large areas of soft tissue contusions, and internal bleeding. However, they were eventually rescued.
There was a suspected underage child at the scene who witnessed the entire accident, which would have a certain impact on the child's mental health. In addition, the child had many new and old injuries on his body. After comprehensive consideration, the police notified the child's parents.
The child sat at the door of Ning Shen's house in a daze. His clothes were too heavy to dry. He didn't know when, but his whole body started to burn.
With a bang, the door was kicked open.
His biological father kicked open the door with an angry look on his face and dragged him out easily with one hand.
He was covered in blood and mud, and the blood from the scratches on his face had dried and stuck to his face, making him look hideous.
The man dragged him back to his house unhappily, threw him into the bathroom and started to wash him.
The child was weak and his brain was still a little dull. He endured the icy water from the old showerhead that was covered with scale, endured the man's anger for having his wages withheld, and endured everything, numb and without the ability to resist.
Only when the child heard the man cursing the nosy guy, telling him to die soon, did his swollen and bloodshot eyes turn around, and then he looked at the man silently.
The man was stunned.
The child curled up on the ground, trembling all over, with his arms protecting his head. His eyes, which appeared through the gaps, were wet by the water, and for the first time, the gaze that was staring at him was filled with clear and incomparable hatred.
For some reason, that look gave the man a chill.
Then, he beat him even more violently.
When the man picked up the bench and smashed it down, the child curled up on the ground suddenly protected his head with his hands.
The sharp corner of the stool hit the arm hard, cruelly leaving a horrible dent. The child's arm was bent at an unnatural angle, with a bone spur piercing the skin and blood dripping down.
The horrifying sight of the wounds helped the furious man regain some sanity.
The man spat angrily, dropped the bench, and walked out. As he turned around, the child coughed up blood, grabbed the bench with his scarred hands, and then stood up and smashed it towards the man's knees!
"ah!"
A scream rang out and the man was knocked to the ground. He was sweating profusely from the pain and his leg was cramping and curled up in pain.
While the man was lying on the ground, the child stumbled out of the door. Amid the man's vicious curses, he bumped into a policeman who was visiting a neighbor's grandmother and came out to check what was going on after hearing the noise.
One of the child's arms was broken at a strange angle, and there were obvious bloodstains and wounds on many parts of his body. His heavy clothes were still dripping with water, and his face was abnormally red.
That was caused by the severe injuries and the persistent high fever.
When the policeman saw the child's appearance and then saw the man limping after him with a wooden stool in his hand, his face changed instantly.
The mother next door sent the child home. Before she had time to change his clothes, the child's father had already arrived. Therefore, the mother could not intervene further and just cooperated with the police's questioning and investigation. Who knew that the child's father had only been back for a short time and the child had already been beaten like this? !
Beast!!
The police rushed forward and subdued the man to the ground, handcuffed him and shouted, "Put down your weapon!!"
The child was held in the arms of his mother out of pity. Through the policeman's back, he saw the man's eyes, which were red from rage. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Ning Chen was still in the balance of life and death. He couldn't just die in the hands of this man.
cannot.
Ning's consciousness was still floating in the darkness, and his perception of the outside world was very limited. When he woke up from time to time, he could occasionally hear the doctors and nurses talking in low voices.
He probably felt that he had been to the gates of hell, and his body and mind had not yet fully recovered, so his consciousness kept coming and going.
The further he went, the longer he was conscious. He could feel the sound of breathing beside him every time he woke up.
The only hand that was not wrapped in gauze was being held carefully by someone. There seemed to be a soft animal next to the hand, and someone's breath was hitting the back of Ning's hand.
A low voice suddenly rang out from the quiet ward: "Little boy, your injuries haven't healed yet, go back to your bed and rest."
After a moment's silence, the force holding Ning Chen's fingers tightened silently.
Like someone's silent resistance.
That child...was guarding Ning Chen.
This realization made Ning Shen suddenly wake up, and the fingers that were carefully clenched moved abruptly.
The child opened his eyes wide, turned his head and looked at the nurse beside him, and said calmly: "It moved...Are you awake?"
The nurse touched his head tenderly and whispered, "Mr. Ning is no longer in danger. It will only take time for him to recover and wake up. Don't worry. If he wakes up and sees you ignore your own injuries and sleep next to him, he won't be able to fall asleep."
The child's eyes dimmed and he obeyed the advice and returned to his bed.
The nurse tucked the quilt in for him and left the ward.
The ward was quiet for a while. After a moment, there was a rustling sound. Someone came over silently and grabbed Ning Shen's fingers.
Ning Chen: “…”
