Injuried
When the tip of the dagger was about to penetrate his chest, someone suddenly kicked Xu Long and kicked him away from Li Mantao.
The air finally entered his lungs smoothly. Li Mantao coughed violently a few times and looked to the side with difficulty.
After being kicked away, Xu Long quickly got up and confronted the intruder holding a dagger.
Opposite him, Rong Yi was wearing a black robe and had a very gloomy expression.
As if he had judged that there was nothing in the other person that could check him, Xu Long grinned sinisterly and rushed towards Rong Yi, waving a dagger.
Seeing the two men fighting, Li Mantao recovered and looked around.
The crowd stood far away, as if they were afraid of getting hurt, and some even took out their mobile phones to take videos.
On the other side, Shuori settled Lian Mao, walked over and pulled Li Mantao up, and said with a relaxed expression: "Don't worry, your brother Rong can finish this small dish in minutes."
Li Mantao used the force to stand up and said in a hoarse voice, "But Xu Long has a knife..."
No matter how powerful Rong Yi is, he is not guaranteed to win against a madman with a knife.
"Trust your brother. He can easily handle a dozen of these guys, okay?"
Li Mantao was still worried. He stared at Rong Yi's back and looked around for something that could control Xu Long.
"Damn it..." Although he had a knife in his hand, he couldn't stab the man. Xu Long was very anxious and dodged the man's fists with sweat all over his forehead.
His eyes looked around nervously, but he couldn't find the person he wanted to take revenge on.
Lian Yu… Lian Yu… damn Lian Yu! How dare Lian Yu live such a glorious life when he is so destitute now?
Lian Yu was hiding somewhere, and Xu Long gritted his teeth in hatred, his eyes fixed on another person.
If it weren't for this person, he would have stabbed Lian Shu to death long ago. Damn it!
Xu Long grabbed a large signboard and threw it at Rong Yi, then took the opportunity to run in one direction.
“Run!”
When Shuori's voice sounded, Li Mantao had just grabbed a prop shield. He turned around and saw a knife about to stab his neck.
Without having time to think about whether the fragile prop shield could block the real sword, he held the shield in front of him, trying to weaken Xu Long's attack.
The expected severe pain did not come. Li Mantao moved the shield away, and a dazzling red color caught his eyes.
Blood gushed from the hand holding the dagger. Rong Yi didn't even grunt as he forcibly ripped the dagger from Xu Long's hand. With a sullen expression, he threw the dagger away, clenched his bleeding hand into a fist, and swung it fiercely at Xu Long.
Xu Long's face was hit so hard by the punch that the flesh on his face trembled and one of his front teeth flew out.
A trace of fear flashed in his bloodshot eyes. Under the man's angry gaze, his hands lost strength and he subconsciously stepped back.
This man really wanted to kill him.
Seeing the blood, the crowd screamed incessantly, some shouted to call the police, and no one dared to approach the desperado.
Xu Long was hit by several more punches, and the taste of rust was about to overflow from his mouth. The humiliation of being beaten aroused the madness in his heart. His eyes trembled nervously and he saw the dagger falling a few meters away.
He rushed towards the dagger as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
He stretched out his arm to reach it, but just as he was about to grab the dagger, it was kicked away.
Li Mantao kicked the dagger away with a stern face, grabbed the shield and smashed it towards Xu Long. Xu Long struggled to wave the shield away, and the next second, a black boot appeared in his sight and stepped hard on his face.
"ah--!!!"
At this time, the security guard finally arrived and controlled Xu Long.
"Manman, are you hurt?" Amid the noise, Rong Yi took two or three steps to Li Mantao, frowning and checking if he had any wounds on his body.
"Hand..." Li Mantao's stopped thoughts started to move little by little. He looked at Rong Yi's right hand which was dripping with blood, and a sour feeling quickly rushed to his nose.
"Which hand is injured?" Rong Yi looked even more anxious, grabbing his hand and looking back and forth.
Her eyes finally couldn't bear the overwhelming emotions, and tears rolled down like pearls, dripping onto the back of Rong Yi's blood-stained hand, creating several ripples.
He grabbed Rong Yi's hand, choking with sobs, "Hand, your hand..."
Seeing Li Mantao's extremely sad look, Rong Yi was stunned, his lips moved slightly, but no words came out.
Li Mantao desperately searched for first aid knowledge in his confused mind. He pressed Rong Yi's wound and watched the blood continue to gush out. He secretly hated himself for studying art instead of medicine. He could do nothing in this situation.
One person pushed aside the onlookers, held up his cell phone and said to Li Mantao: "I called an ambulance, don't worry."
Lian Yu, still wearing his rubbing shoes, calmly looked at the people gathered around him and asked, "Is there anyone who knows how to treat wounds? Could you come and help? The bleeding won't stop."
"I'm studying medicine, let me pass." A cheongsam girl with fox ears squeezed through the crowd and rolled up her sleeves to help treat the wound.
Li Mantao couldn't stop crying, she cried like a fountain, but she looked fine despite being injured. Rong Yi raised her other uninjured hand and stroked Li Mantao's cheek, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
The fox-eared girl also comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, no one will die. At most, there will be some sequelae."
As she finished speaking, Li Mantao's tears fell even harder. The fox-eared girl slapped her mouth in frustration, secretly saying she was too talkative.
In less than five minutes, the ambulance and police car arrived.
Xu Long was handcuffed and taken to the police car. Lian Yu, who was nearly stabbed, also got in and prepared to cooperate in the recording.
Li Mantao and Rong Yi got on an ambulance and went to a nearby hospital.
Rong Yi was getting stitches in the operating room, and Li Mantao was sitting on a stainless steel waiting chair outside the operating room waiting.
My neck was bruised and burning with pain.
But it was certainly not even one ten-thousandth as painful as the injury Rong Yi had suffered. Li Mantao leaned back in his chair, his heart in turmoil.
His mind was in a mess and his phone kept vibrating, but Li Mantao didn't have the energy to respond.
"Teacher Taotao?"
He glanced to the side and saw Shuori, dressed in a cosplay costume, leading a man in a suit over.
"This is Rongyi's brother." Shuori pointed at the man in the suit and introduced him.
The man in the suit was handsome, not as hideous as Li Mantao had imagined. He nodded politely at Li Mantao and said, "Hello, I'm Rong Heng."
Li Mantao recalled what Rong Yi had said about the Rong family, and replied in a less-than-friendly manner, "Hello."
Rong Heng briefly understood Rong Yi's situation and suddenly asked, "Are you Li Man?"
Li Mantao stood up and looked at him strangely: "How do you know?"
"Rong Yi has been looking for you since he returned to China," Rong Heng said. "I also helped look for you, but unfortunately your residence was demolished, so I couldn't find you."
Li Mantao lowered his eyes and whispered, "Well, I moved away."
Not long after his grandfather passed away, he moved out of the tube-shaped building. He had originally planned to go out to work, but Lian Yu stopped him, found him a new place to live, and told him to study hard.
After moving out, the area of tube-shaped buildings was demolished because most of the houses were old and dangerous.
Unexpectedly, Rong Yi has been looking for him. Li Mantao sniffed and wanted to cry again.
Shuori on the side also said: "Not only that, he kept talking about you when he was abroad."
Li Mantao looked at Shuori and blinked.
"Oh, by the way, you don't know my name yet, do you?" Shuori said with a smile, "My name is Deng Yangshuo, a friend Rongyi met abroad. You know those photos of him that went viral a while ago? I was the one who took them with him."
Deng Yangshuo was probably a chatterbox. He talked incessantly and his thoughts were extremely jumpy. Li Mantao's already dizzy brain was overloaded and he started to listen without letting anything in.
The operating room behind him opened, and a nurse came out and asked, "Who is the patient's family member?"
Li Mantao stood up subconsciously, and Rong Heng stood up with him.
Realizing that Rong Heng was Rong Yi's legitimate family member, Li Mantao sat down again in disappointment.
Rong Heng looked at him thoughtfully and said to the nurse, "I am the patient's brother."
The nurse told Rongheng some things to pay attention to when recovering from the injury, asked him to pay the bill, and then left.
Li Mantao couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up and walked carefully into the operating room.
The doctor inside was still bandaging Rong Yi's wound. Seeing Li Mantao peeking in, he asked casually, "Is this your brother? You have really good genes."
Rong Yi turned around and saw Li Mantao. He whispered, "Not my brother."
Li Mantao didn't hear clearly and walked closer. He saw the shocking hemostatic cotton balls on the tray beside him. He bit his lip and asked, "Doctor, is the injury serious? Do I need to be hospitalized? Will there be any sequelae?"
After saying that, he thought it was nonsense. He had lost so much blood, how could it not be serious?
"It's nothing serious, no need to be hospitalized." The doctor looked at his distraught appearance and said cheerfully, "Your friend has a very good constitution. I think he'll be fully recovered in about a month, but he still needs to be more careful during this period."
After the doctor finished speaking, the wound was bandaged and the two left the operating room. Deng Yangshuo and Rong Heng were still waiting outside.
"Brother." Rong Yi greeted Rong Heng.
"How is the wound?" Rong Heng asked.
"It's nothing serious." Rong Yi said, "That man..."
Rong Heng nodded in understanding. "I'll take care of it, and the organizers will also be held accountable. You can just focus on recovering. Do you need me to hire a few people to look after you?"
Rong Yi shook his head: "I'm not used to having strangers in my house."
"With your injury, it would be inconvenient for you to be alone, right?"
Rong Yi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Deng Yangshuo crossed his arms and said with a smile, "Teacher Taotao, aren't you from the same school as him? Why don't you go?"
"Okay..." Li Mantao was about to agree, but suddenly thought of something and changed the subject, "Why don't we let Lian Yu go..."
Although the injury was sustained while saving him, the incident was ultimately caused by Lian Yu. Given Lian Yu's personality, he would not refuse to take care of the wounded.
If Rong Yi likes Lian Yu, maybe they can use this period of recuperation to cultivate their relationship...
However, as soon as the words fell, Rong Yi frowned and flatly refused: "I'm not familiar with it."
Li Mantao: “……?”
