Chapter 18 Returning at Night
"Even if Lin Zhiqin has a good relationship with Yang Jiandong in private, more than half an hour has passed, so it's time to leave."
Lu Yuan waited in the stairwell on the eighth floor for another five minutes, and finally decided to go out to find out.
The words "Orthopedic Ward" were marked in red at the entrance of the ward on the eighth floor.
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he pushed the door and walked into the inpatient ward calmly.
Compared with the ward where Grandpa Lu Yueping was, the eighth floor seemed much noisier.
There were large or small painful groans from the wards, and some people even shouted hysterically, attracting the scolding of the nurses.
From time to time, you can meet the family members of patients holding water bottles or urine pots and walking hurriedly.
Everyone was busy.
No one noticed Lu Yuan.
"Bed 16..."
Lu Yuan's eyes swept through the bed numbers at the door of the ward one by one.
Soon found the ward with bed 16.
"Yes, it's here."
The patient's name behind bed 16 was indeed written as Yang Jiandong.
Through the glass window on the door, Lu Yuan saw a figure lying on the bed in the room with gauze wrapped around his head and body and one leg in plaster.
There was also a girl in a yellow dress sitting beside the bed. She was probably in her early twenties and looked very quiet.
"Oh my god, did she have a car accident?"
Lu Yuan was secretly shocked, but he didn't dare to look at it and walked straight forward.
When he walked to the front bed of bed 20, he had an idea in his mind.
Lu Yuan turned around and went back. When he returned to ward 16, he stood at the door and knocked gently.
He stepped aside to the door. People in the ward couldn't see him from this angle.
A few seconds later, the door of the ward opened and a pale yellow figure walked out.
"Who are you?"
The girl looked at Lu Yuan in confusion.
Lu Yuan hurriedly said, "I am Coach Lin's student. Coach Lin seems to have left a spare phone here. Can you help me find it?"
"Oh."
The girl nodded and turned to go into the room.
Lu Yuan felt relieved, as if he had just been here.
A moment later, the girl appeared again.
"I didn't see any phone..."
"Coach Lin just called me and said he had found it. He left it in the car."
Lu Yuan explained apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's okay. I'm glad you found it."
Perhaps because of Lu Yuan's polite attitude, the girl smiled at him, "If it's okay, I'll go in first."
"Okay."
Lu Yuan just agreed, and then seemed to be "curious". He looked in the direction of the ward and asked casually.
"What happened to this senior brother?
I think the injury seems to be quite serious."
"Yeah."
The girl pursed her lips, and then her eyes began to turn red unconsciously, and her voice also had a bit of crying.
"He was beaten.
He has this personality. He liked to fight before he learned martial arts.
After practicing martial arts for a few days, he actually went to compete in some competition, saying that if he won, he would have money to buy me a house and propose to me...
He was lucky not to die in the ring!"
Injured in a fighting competition? !
Yang Jiandong actually went to participate in a fighting competition?
Lu Yuan was shocked, but he still showed regret and sympathy on his face, and comforted the girl in a kind voice.
After watching the girl enter the room, Lu Yuan did not rush to leave.
But he went to the nurse station to inquire about Yang Jiandong's specific situation.
Because he had just chatted with the girl in the yellow dress who was Yang Jiandong's family member at the door of the ward, the nurse thought he was Yang Jiandong's friend and let him see the medical record very readily.
"Multiple soft tissue contusions throughout the body, fractures of the face, ribs, arms, and right leg..."
In the cafeteria of the inpatient department, Lu Yuan was thinking about this while eating.
During this period of time, the students who entered Yuanwu Hall at the same time as them saw Yang Jiandong less and less.
His class time seemed to be completely different from others. Some people said that he was always coached by Lin Zhiqin.
Some students in the class complained to Lin Zhiqin privately, but nothing came of it.
The relationship with Lin Zhiqin became strained because of this, and they all dropped out of the class.
Lu Yuan didn't have much of an opinion.
It's the coach's business to give private instruction to the students he likes. There's no such thing as fairness or unfairness.
There was envy, but it faded away as his strength improved.
When he found out about what happened today, it was completely gone.
Although Yang Jiandong's girlfriend didn't mention Lin Zhiqin in her words.
But Lu Yuan always felt that Yang Jiandong's injury during the game was related to Lin Zhiqin.
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to see him specially... Could it be that Yang Jiandong's game was arranged by Lin Zhiqin?"
Lu Yuan finished his dinner silently, temporarily putting this secret incident that he accidentally discovered behind his mind, and then hurried upstairs to Lu Yueping.
In the evening, I watched the evening news with my grandfather Lu Yueping, and then found an old spy movie to watch.
It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening, almost nine o'clock, that Lu Xinghua finally appeared in the ward.
"Thank you for your hard work today."
Lu Xinghua's face was full of fatigue, and the smell of cigarettes on him could be smelled from a few meters away.
God knows how many cigarettes he smoked this afternoon and night.
"Dad, why don't you go home today? I'll stay here to look after Grandpa."
Lu Yuan was worried about Lu Xinghua's condition and couldn't help but speak.
Lu Xinghua waved his hand and said directly: "I'll take you home."
Lu Yuan saw that Lu Xinghua was determined and there was no room for negotiation, so he had to say: "Then I'll go back by myself."
Lu Xinghua thought about it and didn't insist.
"Then...be careful on the road, and send me a message when you get home."
"Got it."
.........
Walking out of the hospital gate, it was exactly nine o'clock in the evening.
Lu Yuan called his mother Zheng Qiuling, and walked home slowly without waiting for the last bus.
The First Hospital is close to the center of Jiaoyan City. The streets are still very lively at nine o'clock.
You can always see mobile fruit stalls and various snack stalls at the intersection.
Lu Yuan couldn't help it, and asked for a bowl of fried noodles and two skewers of barbecue, squatting on the roadside to finish eating.
After his physical condition improved, his appetite also grew day by day.
He had to eat four or five meals a day to not feel hungry, and sometimes even six meals.
Recently, he has begun to learn to match his own recipes and study various high-calorie nutritious meals.
But he has not put it into practice because of his lack of money.
"After the monthly exam, the school scholarship will come, and I can have a good meal."
"And the martial arts school..."
Lu Yuan kicked a mineral water bottle in front of him and it happened to fall into a trash can not far away, attracting the attention of two stray dogs nearby.
"I heard from Cheng Peng that the formal disciples of the martial arts school need to practice basic fighting skills to perfection, and the punching force must reach more than 100 kilograms!"
"A punching force of 100 kilograms is equivalent to an amateur third-level martial artist..."
"It's quite difficult, but it's not impossible for me."
Lu Yuan's strength attribute has just been increased to 9 points not long ago.
Compared with the strength of normal adult men in this world, his current punching force is estimated to be about 60 to 70 kilograms.
Lu Yuan's confidence mainly comes from the two attribute points that have not been used yet.
"If I put all of it into strength, my punching power will definitely reach 100 kilograms.
If I only add a little, I don't know if it will work..."
Lu Yuan's plan is to give a little to agility.
Compared with the other three basic attributes of 9 and 10 points, 8 points of agility is obviously not enough.
Thinking like this, I have unknowingly left the prosperous area.
The west of the city is the old city of Jiaoyan City, which is far less lively than the previous central area.
After nine o'clock, there are not many people on the street.
Only a few street lights are on, illuminating the garbage scattered all over the road and accumulated for a day.
Lu Yuan looked up at the sky, but could not find the shadow of the moon.
Only a hazy light was seen, covered by dark clouds.
"It seems to be raining..."
Lu Yuan thought to himself, and his pace quickened a bit.
