The car got on the highway again.
Xu Shiqi called home immediately and told his mother that he would not be home tonight, and then comforted her to relax and that nothing would happen in the store. Wang Yuan hurriedly asked the reason, and Xu Shiqi glanced at Wen Jialuo who was concentrating on driving and said that he had found someone to help.
Wang Yuan seemed relieved. Although she didn't have a son, her daughter was always calm and reliable. Although her voice on the phone was gentle, it exuded a reassuring power. Wang Yuan didn't ask her why she didn't go home or where she stayed overnight. She was very confident in her daughter and had always been lenient with her.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Jialuo curiously asked about what happened in Xu Shiqi's store. It was boring on the highway, and having someone to talk to could cheer him up, so Xu Shiqi told him everything that happened.
After hearing the whole story, Wen Jialuo smiled and said, "Go home tomorrow and ask your parents if anyone has approached them to buy your store recently."
Xu Shiqi frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Just ask and you'll know." Wen Jialuo shrugged.
Xu Shiqi leaned her elbows against the car window, looking at the scenery outside that was rapidly receding. She seemed to understand something in her heart, so she turned her head to look at Wen Jialuo. This girl was probably too thin, so her side profile looked a little fierce that was not in line with her age. Her expression was very focused, and her eyes were very bright. The longer she looked at him, the longer he seemed to have not blinked. This girl's lips were too thin, which was said to be either a reflection of a short life or a mean temperament. And her chin was small enough that it seemed like it would break if pinched. But these were not the main points. This girl sat very upright when driving. Xu Shiqi thought for a long time before she felt that she seemed to have only seen soldiers sitting like this on TV.
"Did you find out anything?" Wen Jialuo finally spoke. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, which did seem a bit cold and heartless.
How could such a person be troubled by a secret love until now? Xu Shiqi shook his head, but couldn't help asking her: "Have you been a soldier?"
Wen Jialuo glanced at her and said, "No, but I was thrown into the army and trained for a few months."
Xu Shiqi originally wanted to ask if it was the military training in college, but then she remembered that this was the source of her pain so far, so she resisted the urge to ask.
"In fact, my brothers and sisters have all received some training. We were thrown into the hands of my grandfather's old subordinates." Wen Jialuo asked, "Can't you imagine my sister crawling in the mud?"
"Ah?" Xu Shiqi was indeed stunned.
"Why do you think she was able to overcome all difficulties and marry Xia Bang? Among the three of us, she is actually the strongest." Wen Jialuo smiled, "But that was a long time ago, it's normal that you don't know."
Xu Shiqi nodded: "She does look like a lady from a scholarly family."
"What do you mean by look like? I am." Wen Jialuo glanced at her again, "Do you mean that I look like a wild person?"
"Haha," Xu Shiqi smiled awkwardly, "You two don't look like children from the same family."
"They are not born from the same mother." Wen Jialuo muttered softly.
It can be said that as soon as you speak of the devil, he will appear. At this time, Xu Shiqi received a call from Wen Baohua.
It turned out that Wen Baohua had been worried since he saw her get into Wen Jialuo's car. Looking at the time, he thought she must have arrived home, so he called to ask about it.
"Uh, I'm not at home. I'm in the car."
…
Xu Shiqi handed the phone to the driver. Wen Jialuo looked at her questioningly, and then suddenly understood.
"sister?"
"Jia Luo, where did you take my classmate?"
"What? Are you afraid that I will sell out your classmates?" Wen Jialuo laughed. Xu Shiqi, who was standing beside her, saw her little canine teeth glittering again.
"Stop making trouble, send the person back quickly."
"How can I turn around on the highway? She will be back tomorrow. Let's talk later." Wen Jialuo hung up the phone neatly and threw it to the person next to him, "Don't let anything slip when you go back tomorrow."
"I know." Xu Shiqi lowered his head and sent a text message to Baohua so that she would not be worried about him.
After Xu Shiqi and Baohua finished chatting via text messages, she looked out the window and asked where Wen Jialuo's car was now, but there was no movement. She turned her head in surprise, only to see Wen Jialuo still sitting upright, concentrating on driving with a serious expression.
It was safer to have such a qualified driver. Xu Shiqi stopped bothering her immediately, but he felt that a driver like her would definitely have shoulder, neck and waist problems, and looking at her skilled movements, he knew that she had been driving for quite some time.
It's better not to drive. Anyway, she has no sense of direction. She just needs to sit and enjoy. Xu Shiqi lazily leaned in the seat, watching the scenery outside the window change, as if she had already got off the highway. After getting off the highway, the roadside was relatively darker. Thinking that there was another city ahead, and the cities were connected by chains. Starting from a glorious place, leading to countless forks, fast or slow, bright or dark, and then entering another glorious place...
Think about it, just like life, there is a lurking process in the middle of every experience. And a line is the ups and downs of life. It's just lurking, sometimes short, sometimes long.
I am lurking, and I don’t know when I will wake up; while Wen Jialuo, who is driving, is more like a person who can only lurk in life and can never wake up.
While she was thinking about this, the car had already entered the city. As Wen Jialuo turned and changed directions at different intersections, Xu Shiqi did not remember the process because it was only one night and it had nothing to do with her.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a residential area. The surrounding environment seemed very quiet, but the location was also a bit remote. The dim lights on the roadside also silently conveyed that this was an old residential area.
There was a guard post at the entrance of the community. Xu Shiqi didn't look carefully, but he just saw that the guard in uniform was standing upright.
The car backed into the parking space smoothly and accurately and stopped. Xu Shiqi reached out to open the door, with one foot already outside the car, and then she realized something was wrong. She turned around abruptly to look at Wen Jialuo, but was startled.
Because she was looking out the window, she didn't notice anything unusual about Wen Jialuo. At this time, the lights in the car were turned on, and she realized that Wen Jialuo's forehead was covered with sweat and his face was a little pale.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Shiqi asked hurriedly.
Wen Jialuo took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "It's okay."
After getting off the car, Xu Shiqi hurried over to her side. Seeing that Wen Jialuo came out very slowly, he reached out to help her: "What's wrong?"
"My stomach hurts a little." Wen Jialuo frowned, closed the door, then brushed away Xu Shiqi's hand and walked towards a row of houses.
Xu Shiqi stood behind and watched. The girl walked very slowly, her body slightly hunched, and even her shadow on the ground looked thin. She sighed, walked forward quickly, put one hand on the girl's shoulder, and whispered: "You are in so much pain, why are you showing off?"
Wen Jialuo walked stubbornly, but finally found that he couldn't get rid of the hand on his shoulder. Coupled with the burning pain in his stomach, he stopped moving and just turned around and glared at her.
Xu Shiqi also returned the gift to her without any hesitation. At this time, the two had already walked downstairs. The lights downstairs were brighter, so Xu Shiqi saw the sweat on the girl's forehead sliding onto her eyelashes, almost hanging down. Now she was not only thin, but also very fragile. Seeing her in so much pain, it must not have happened suddenly. I think she has been enduring this kind of pain along the way. It's hard for her to endure it and not say anything, and she still drove the car to the destination safely. Xu Shiqi now had to admire her, and secretly annoyed herself that she was really in a daze on the road. She didn't even notice what the people around her were doing.
Without any interest in knowing what kind of neighborhood this was, or what the building looked like, the two of them climbed to the third floor, and Wen Jialuo finally took out the key to open the door.
The lights on the floor came on, and one could see that the walls here were old, but the door Wen Jialuo was going to open was very new.
After opening the door, Wen Jialuo seemed to have used up all her strength and almost slipped to the ground. Xu Shiqi half-pulled and half-carried her into the door, closed the door with his backhand, and then groped for the lamp on the wall.
Xu Shiqi didn't bother to look at the structure of the house. He just kept asking her, "Wen Jialuo, do you have medicine? Where is it?"
Wen Jialuo perked up when she heard the voice, subconsciously pushed away the hand that was supporting her, stumbled into a room, and immediately fell on a bed in the room.
When Xu Shiqi chased in, she saw that Wen Jialuo had curled up like a shrimp, so weak that she could be put on a plate. She didn't care much and ran to the cabinet beside the bed to look for it. When she finally found two bottles of medicine, she was disappointed to find that the bottles were empty.
As she was turning over, she could faintly hear a faint moaning sound from the bed. Xu Shiqi frowned, but in the end she didn't find any medicine, which made her annoyed and she slammed the drawer shut.
She had no experience in caring for people, let alone patients. Moreover, the attack came suddenly, which made her flustered. However, she quickly reached out to help Wen Jialuo up from the bed: "Wen Jialuo, come on, I'll take you to the hospital."
“No…” Wen Jialuo shook her head, letting herself be nailed to the bed like a nail. No matter how hard Xu Shiqi tried, she could always escape from those two hands. “I’ll take a nap… I’ll just take a nap…”
"How can you fall asleep even in this state?" Xu Shiqi had no choice but to crawl to the head of the bed and help her up from behind. "Be good, just go to the hospital and get a shot." She couldn't help but blame him, "Why didn't you tell me on the way? Didn't we pass by the hospital?"
"No need to go to the hospital!" Wen Jialuo shouted weakly, then hugged himself tighter, "There are medicines at home..."
"The medicine bottle is empty!" Xu Shiqi shouted into her ear.
"Then go buy it..." Wen Jialuo pointed to the door. Unfortunately, she had already fallen on the bed and didn't know the direction, so she pointed to a wall.
That's right. Xu Shiqi was stunned for a moment, looked at the girl who was awkwardly trying to make people pull her hair, and had to climb down from the bed.
Before leaving, Xu Shiqi found the kitchen and was glad that there were two kettles with boiling water in them. She didn't think too much about it, but just found a bowl and poured some water into it and brought it to the bedroom.
"I've poured some boiled water. You can drink some later. I'll go buy some medicine."
The person on the bed made no sound. Xu Shiqi leaned over to look at her worriedly, and seeing that she had bitten the quilt in her mouth, she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. She lowered her voice and said gently, "Be obedient, I'll be back soon."
Her voice finally seemed to have some effect. Wen Jialuo slowly opened his eyes and looked at her, then nodded weakly.
After finding the key dropped on the ground in the entrance hall, Xu Shiqi rushed downstairs without stopping for a moment.
Fortunately, the community was not big. When she ran out in her high heels, she did not forget to ask the guard post at the entrance of the community where the nearest pharmacy was. There were two very young boys standing guard. They looked at her curiously and pointed her in a direction.
When she found the pharmacy, Xu Shiqi forgot the name of the medicine in Wen Jialuo's bedside table, so she could only buy some stomach medicine at random. When she returned to the community, she was dumbfounded. The row of buildings in front of her was not high, but every corridor looked the same and had the same lights on. She looked back at the row of cars behind her, measured the distance, and then found that she couldn't remember which corridor she entered from.
Thinking of the girl upstairs still moaning in pain on the bed, Xu Shiqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and choose a half-hearted way to climb to the third floor in one breath, then took a breath of cold air.
You climbed the wrong way. The door of this house is old.
Xu Shiqi felt a little exhausted while carrying the medicine, which was not heavy. She didn't like running, and she didn't like running in high heels. But cursing would be useless now, so she had to stagger downstairs and then change the corridor entrance.
This time he was finally right. After quickly opening the door, Xu Shiqi shouted in succession: "Wen Jialuo, Wen Jialuo..."
She was out for neither long nor short, so nothing should happen to her.
When she entered the room, she saw that the shrimp was still a shrimp, and the bowl of water on the bedside was still a bowl of water.
Sitting on the bed and breathing heavily, Xu Shiqi poured all the medicine on the bed, then pushed Wen Jialuo, who seemed to be in a semi-conscious state, and said, "Open your eyes and see what medicine you want to take?"
Wen Jialuo narrowed his eyes slightly, then reached out and touched around randomly, and then grabbed a medicine box that seemed to be casually touched.
There was no time to rest. The girl's face had turned pale and blue. Xu Shiqi didn't care about rubbing his broken feet or his smoking throat. He quickly read the instructions, poured two pills into Wen Jialuo's mouth, and didn't care whether she frowned or not. He went to get some water for the girl to drink.
The medicine was really bitter, and the water was choking. Wen Jialuo's curled up body suddenly stretched out as if stabbed, and then he sat up from the bed: "You murdered me!"
Xu Shiqi held the water and looked at her blankly: "Are you not in pain anymore?"
Wen Jialuo coughed several times, snatched the water from her hand and drank a few sips, then said calmly: "It hurts too much."
Xu Shiqi felt relieved, tilted his head back, and fell on the bed: "Tired... I'm so tired."
