Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

Outside the emergency room, the dark and wide corridor was quiet.

Qiu Mu stood against the wall, seeing Ye Li sitting curled up on the chair, holding his head in his hands and motionless, feeling heavy.

He recalled that he called Ye Li just now, and Ye Li raised his head slowly, his eyes were bloodshot, and the gaze he was looking at him with suppressed expression was really disturbing.

It seems to be no different from those prisoners who are squatting in prison and waiting for the death penalty.

"It's not your fault that grandpa was injured, we will be very worried if you do this."

Ye Li shook his head, his voice was hoarse, his expression was decadent, and he didn't have the strength to say anything more: "It's all my fault."

"..." Recalling the conversation at that time, Qiu Mu frowned.He raised his head and glanced at the emergency room in front of which the door was closed, and then looked back at Gu Yu and Gu Yu's mother who followed, both of them looked worried.

Sighing, walking to a corner not far away, Qiu Mu took out her mobile phone and made a call, telling the adults at home about the matter.Qiu Mu's parents heard that something happened to the old man, and they were lying in the emergency room, and they were also flustered.

"We'll fly there right away, and contact us immediately if we have anything to do."

Qiu Mu said hello, and then hung up the phone.

Putting away the phone, he turned and looked at Ye Li who was not far away.Ye Li still huddled his body into a ball without saying a word or moving. Qiu Mu walked over and asked in a low voice, "How did Grandpa fall?"

Ye Li's pupils shrank suddenly, and his body trembled slightly.

"it's me--"

It was me who caused grandpa to fall.

As soon as the words came out, the door of the emergency room was suddenly opened from the inside.Ye Li and Qiu Mu's attention was all shifted there, they couldn't wait to look over there, stood up and rushed to the doctor.

"How is my grandpa!" Ye Li said nervously.

The doctor thought that Ye Li was the grandson of the old man, and said, "Don't worry, there are two fractures in the body, nothing serious. Your grandfather's blood pressure is high, right? Although it has dropped a little bit now, but at first The situation is very dangerous, but fortunately they were sent to the hospital in time..."

"Blood pressure?" Didn't he become unconscious because he fell down the stairs? Ye Li asked nervously, "Is blood pressure related to this? ——It's really just a broken bone? No, no other problems?"

"It's caused by the increase in blood pressure." The doctor has long been used to the patient's family misunderstanding the condition, and misunderstood the focus: "This situation needs more attention than a fracture."

While signaling to his colleagues behind him to send the old man to the ward, he explained to Ye Li: "Excessive blood pressure can lead to sudden darkening of the eyes, weakness of hands and feet, etc. Your grandfather probably didn't see the road clearly because of this I will accidentally fall down the stairs, so be careful in the future."

Seeing that Ye Li still looked restless, the doctor patted Ye Li on the shoulder reassuringly, and persuaded him, "Don't worry, take a rest, and your grandpa will recover. From now on, take medicine on time and exercise moderately. Just keep calm and pay attention to your eating habits."

"..." Ye Li didn't know how to respond, his mind was in a mess right now.

Qiu Mu stood by the side, and after listening to the whole process, he roughly understood the cause and effect.

In short, it was because the old man's blood pressure was too high that he accidentally fell down the stairs.It seems that the coma caused by falling down the stairs is actually the main reason is the sudden increase in blood pressure.

In the beginning, a few people mistakenly thought that the falling accident on the stairs was very serious, but it did not cause too much harm to the old man's body. It is a blessing in misfortune.

The old man had already been pushed out by the nurses for a certain distance, but Ye Li was still stuck in place stupidly.Qiu Mu stepped forward and pulled Ye Li, and followed the old man with Ye Li, comforting: "Don't worry, Grandpa is fine."

Ye Li's mind traveled far and wide, and it took a while before he focused his gaze on Qiu Mu.

Qiu Mu reached out and hugged Ye Li gently: "Don't be nervous, let's see how scared you are."

Ye Li covered his eyes with his palms and wiped them vigorously.

"Ah."

The old man is fine.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when Qiu Mu's parents rushed to the hospital from the airport.

Seeing Qiu Mu standing at the gate of the hospital to pick them up, Qiu Mu's mother complained, "Why did you run out?"

Qiu Mu said: "It's okay, Xiao Li is guarding beside Grandpa."

Qiu Mu's father frowned, feeling that Qiu Mu was too careless in doing things this time.My grandfather was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, and he, a grandson, ran out casually like this, not even knowing the priority of the matter.

Qiu Mu explained: "Don't worry, Xiaoli is more nervous than me, I don't even have a place to interfere."

The two adults glanced at each other without speaking.

Qiu Mu briefly introduced the situation: "Xiao Yu—that's our neighbor, and Xiao Yu's mother just returned half an hour ago."

It's already so late, and the old man is out of danger again, so it doesn't make sense for so many people to stay: "It's impossible for Xiaoli to leave, so I let him stay and continue to take care of grandpa."

Qiu Mu's father and Ye Li are not familiar with each other. Last summer vacation, he met Qiu Mu and the others for a meal, and then hurriedly flew on a business trip, so he asked, "It's already this time?"

Qiu Mu: "It has nothing to do with time—you haven't seen Xiao Li like that before. If the doctor and I hadn't repeatedly assured him that Grandpa's current physical condition didn't have much to do with it, he might still be in a hurry."

Qiu Mu's mother and Qiu Mu's father glanced at each other, Qiu Mu's mother nodded to show that it was true, and Qiu Mu's father said: "...that's it."

When passing by the door of the doctor's office, Qiu Mu first took them in and asked about the old man's condition, so that the two adults could rest assured.Then the nurse came and knocked on the door, reminding the doctor that it was time to make rounds, and they walked towards the old man's ward together.

Pushing open the door, Ye Li was sitting in front of the hospital bed with his back facing, holding the old man's hand tightly with his palm, and didn't even notice the footsteps behind him seemed a bit too much.

Qiu Mu walked over and said softly, "Xiao Li, my parents are here."

Ye Li was taken aback after hearing this, and turned around.Because of the emotional changes of the day, I was full of other thoughts, and I didn't come to take care of myself urgently, so my face and mental outlook were not very good at this time.He stood up and said, "Hello, uncle and aunt..."

The two adults responded with "Hello", and the two sides exchanged a few words briefly, and their attention was focused on the old man again.

After the doctors and nurses checked the situation, they said to the two adults: "The patient's condition is very stable, just wait until he wakes up. I have already told the two teenagers about the precautions. If you have any questions, come to us at any time."

The two adults looked at the two teenagers opposite, Qiu Mu and Ye Li nodded together.

Qiu Mu's father said to the doctor: "It's really hard work for you." He sent the doctor and nurse out of the ward, then turned around, and said in a softer voice: "Xiao Li, you should go home and rest for a while. There is Mu Mu here. Son with us."

Ye Li shook his head stubbornly: "Thank you uncle, but no need, I'm fine."

Qiu Mu's parents glanced at Qiu Mu, and Qiu Mu made a look of "no need to persuade, it's useless", so the two adults stopped talking.

Although it is a rare meeting, the current occasion is really not suitable for chatting.

After the four of them sat in the room and said a few words, Qiu Mu's parents went out to go through the follow-up hospitalization procedures and pay the fees. Qiu Mu left Ye Li in the ward to take care of the elderly, while she walked out of the ward with her parents.

Qiu Mu: "Is there any problem with the company?"

If Qiu Mu's parents regarded Qiu Mu as a child who didn't understand, they would probably only reply perfunctorily at this time, "Don't worry about this, adults will take care of it" as an answer, but they didn't, so they told the truth: "It happened so suddenly that I can only temporarily put down my work. If there is no problem here, my father may go back later and leave my mother here to take care of grandpa for a few days."

Qiu Mu nodded and said: "The doctor said there is no problem. The main reason is that the high blood pressure caused coma, and you need to be patient and recuperate. There is no problem with my courses here. It is okay to ask for leave to take care of grandpa at home for a few days. You don't have to worry. "

Speaking of this, Qiu Mu's father's expression was very satisfied: "You always put us at ease."

Qiu Mu: "Yes."

Qiu Mu's mother thought for a while and said, "Honey, why don't we take Dad to Shanghai?"

Both Qiu Mu and Qiu Mu's father were taken aback for a moment, and then Qiu Mu's father said, "Well...you're right, that's fine."

Qiu Mu: "...You mean, take grandpa to Shanghai to recuperate?"

"You too." Qiu Mu's mother said: "I told you to go to Shanghai to study a long time ago, but you didn't listen. I can just take this opportunity to take the two of you to Shanghai."

This injury just gave the two adults a reason to take the old man over to take care of them.

Qiu Mu was silent for a while, then said, "I don't really want to go there."

Qiu Mu's mother: "Listen to my mother! It's time for you to take a look at the outside world and gain some knowledge."

Qiu Mu was speechless: "I..."

Facing the gazes of the two adults, Qiu Mu said: "...It's good for Grandpa to go to the hospital in Shanghai for treatment, so I don't need it."

Qiu Mu's parents were very firm: "Grandpa has gone to Shanghai, what are you still doing here?"

Qiu Mu: "..."

He suddenly thought that if after the old man woke up, Qiu Mu's parents told the old man the reason "Mu'er should go to a better school, but he refused to leave to take care of you", presumably after the old man made a decision, he would definitely For the sake of his grandson's future, he will choose to compromise.

This is really... at such a time.

Thinking of Gu Yu's current situation, Qiu Mu had one head and two big ones.

......

In the ward, Ye Li was sitting beside the bed.He held the old man's palm in his palm, lowered his head, and carefully wiped the old man's arm with a hot towel, the scratches caused by falling down the stairs, while silently recalling the scene that happened at home before.

The old man must have seen what he was doing at that time, so he turned around and left immediately.After waking up, what would he think of this matter.

Even if he didn't blame him for falling down the stairs, he probably wouldn't let him have any contact with Qiu Mu again.Maybe he will tell Qiu Mu directly about this matter, or even drive him out.

After all, he was making plans for the old man's only grandson.

No matter how much you love Ye Li in the past, there are some things that you can't give in to.

It would be fine if he just moved out of this house, but Ye Li couldn't bear to keep Qiu Mu from contacting him again.

"What are you thinking about? You have a serious face." Qiu Mu's voice came from the upper left of Ye Li.

"...It's nothing." Ye Li lowered his head and continued to wipe the old man's arm: "Where are uncles and aunts?"

"They booked a room at a nearby hotel, and it's a bit far to go home..." Qiu Mu took a closer look at Ye Li, and saw the black and blue under his eyes, his expression was tired but he didn't intend to rest at all. Said: "Do you have something hidden in your heart?"

Ye Li said calmly, "Why do you say that?"

Qiu Mu: "Feeling."

Ye Li was helpless.

Qiu Mu asked, "Can you tell me?"

Ye Li: "I don't really want to say it, anyway, you will know sooner or later."

Qiu Mu wondered: "Sooner or later you will know?"

Ye Li shook his head, obviously he would not say anything more.

"...Okay." Qiu Mu decided not to ask any more questions, but said, "Are you sleepy?"

"Fortunately."

"Don't be brave."

Ye Li sighed: "I'm not trying to be brave, I can't sleep."

Qiu Mu took a closer look at Ye Li's expression. It really didn't look like he was forcing himself, so he said, "Well, we both ask for leave tomorrow. You can sleep whenever you want, but there is no need to deliberately stay up late."

Ye Li: "Yes."

Sitting on the chair beside the hospital bed, Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li's back.

After being silent for a while, Qiu Mu said, "I think Grandpa will definitely say the same thing when he wakes up."

Ye Li: "What."

"Say you're an idiot, knowing that there's no need to stay up all night, but you still insist on staying by his side, making your body worse."

Ye Li: "That's not necessarily the case."

Qiu Mu: "Why."

Ye Li shook his head, expressing that he didn't want to talk.

"..." Qiu Mu thought for a long time, recalling Ye Li's previous sentence "it's all my fault", and said: "I don't know how you caused grandpa to fall down the stairs, I can't imagine it. Even if you really The fault is in it, but grandpa has always loved you the most, and seeing you now, maybe the anger has disappeared long ago."

Ye Li: "I don't know."

really do not know.

Qiu Mu yawned, and rubbed his eyes drowsily: "Don't be so stubborn, it's not like you. If you have something to say to Grandpa when he wakes up, just talk to him face to face. It's useless to think about it now. "

"..." Ye Li closed his eyes, his expression seemed to be waiting for a judgment: "Well, I got it."

No matter what, let's wait until the old man wakes up safely.

The next day, early in the morning.

Qiu Mu sat on a chair, pointed a knife at the trash can, and peeled apples for herself.

Suddenly there was a sound in the ear, Qiu Mu put down the fruit and looked towards the hospital bed, only to see the old man opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and then turned his head to look at him.

Quickly stood up and walked over: "You're awake."

The old man wondered, "Where is this place?"

Qiu Mu said: "Hospital, yesterday you had high blood pressure and fell down the stairs. We brought you here—do you feel any discomfort?"

"..." The old man thought about it for a while, and his head, which was still a little drowsy, suddenly became sober.

"Oh." He suddenly called out.

oops?

Qiu Mu asked: "What's wrong?"

The old man said, "Where's Xiaoli?"

"For Xiao Li, I asked him to go back." Qiu Mu said, "Yesterday he was busy in the hospital all day, and this morning he was still sitting here after four o'clock this morning. I think he will continue like this." , maybe after you wake up, he will be the second to fall down. So I sent him home to rest."

After hearing this, the old man unknowingly stretched his frowned eyebrows, "Is that so..."

"Parents are back too." Qiu Mu said, "Now we should talk to the doctor outside."

The old man's attention was immediately drawn away by his son and daughter-in-law: "Oh... you're back."

Qiu Mu smiled and said: "I always quarrel with you, it seems that the conflict is deep. But when I called, my parents were so anxious that they bought plane tickets and flew here immediately. It's really a knife-mouthed bean curd heart."

The old man looked a little uncomfortable, and said awkwardly: "Those two bastards...that's what they should do."

Qiu Mu laughed.

"They just went out and will be right back."

The old man said again: "What about Xiaoli? How is he? Did he...did he say anything?"

Ye Li?Why did you mention Ye Li again?

Recalling Ye Li's words yesterday, Qiu Mu couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking at this time, so he said, "He kept telling me yesterday that it was his fault that caused you to fall. Then he secretly cried .”

The old man's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but said, "Crying?"

That strong and indomitable child actually cried secretly?Just because I fell down in front of him?

Qiu Mu opened her eyes and said nonsense and nodded: "Yes, a man is sitting by your hospital bed, holding your hand and wiping tears there. I see him like this, and I don't dare to ask him what's the matter. I didn't see—who made him have such a strong self-esteem, so as not to embarrass him."

The old man frowned.

Qiu Mu said again: "Is it really because of Xiao Li that Grandpa fell down the stairs?"

The old man said: "What?"

Qiu Mu hesitated for a moment, and said: "I said, is Xiao Li's personality a little...too bad? It's okay to be outside, but when you come home, you always feel that you are not very polite to us, a bit too polite. ...you get carried away, so it makes you feel unhappy, Grandpa."

The more the old man listened, the deeper the word "Chuan" on his brows became.Finally, when Qiu Mu said, "It's better to talk to Xiaoli and let him pay attention to his words and deeds", the old man finally couldn't help but slapped the bed next to him hard, and said loudly to Qiu Mu: "Shut up!" What kind of nonsense are you talking about! Xiao Li—”

Just halfway through the conversation, seeing Qiu Mu's smiling eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up, the old man knew he had been tricked.

"..." It's really one or two, both of them are monkey spirits.

How come he almost forgot that Qiu Mu was just like him, treating Ye Li well, how could he speak ill of Ye Li behind his back.

He just wanted to provoke him, preemptively belittle Ye Li, let him remember Ye Li's goodness, and in turn appeal for Ye Li, let the old man understand what he thinks of Ye Li, and then dismiss it. Get rid of the little bit of heartache that doesn't know whether it exists or not.

He obviously didn't say any words of persuasion, but it was more effective than what he said.

"You and your parents are really carved out of the same mold." You are only a teenager, and you are so shrewd.The old man said angrily: "Forget it, I won't tell you."

Qiu Mu giggled and said, "Then what did Xiaoli offend you? I'll mention it to him later and ask him to apologize to you."

The old man snorted and said, "I'm not angry with him either."

After all, the old man actually didn't understand what Ye Li was doing at that time.It's just that the subconscious felt a little weird, and before any thoughts came up, he was taken aback by Ye Li's sudden movement of raising his head.

Seeing Ye Li's panic-stricken expression, the first thought that came to his mind was not to question, but to leave immediately and leave room for Ye Li to calm down and not be nervous.

What Ye Li thought, "Grandpa left only when he got angry", is actually not the case at all.The old man was mainly looking at Ye Li's terrified expression, thinking that he was some kind of parent who "witnessed a good boy secretly playing computer games", turned around and wanted to run away quickly, so as to save Ye Li from embarrassment.

Who knew that Ye Li's reaction was so straightforward, he didn't stand still in place, but chased him out. The old man got anxious, his blood pressure soared, and he just fell down like this.

If you really want to say that you are unhappy, at most you are just angry from embarrassment when a child turns around and walks away in fright. There is nothing to be angry about.

"That's right." Qiu Mu said: "I thought he was looking for your wine and you saw him, and then you rushed downstairs to hide the wine and accidentally dropped it."

It turned out that Ye Li was secretly looking for wine in the bathroom cubicle, no wonder.The old man thought.

The last time he stuffed Moutai in the corner of the garden, Ye Li unknowingly searched it out, and he was so depressed that he couldn't reason.

"I didn't hide the wine." He said a lie that neither of the two people present would believe, and the old man couldn't help but brought it up again: "You just said that Xiao Li was crying? Did you take care of me until after four o'clock?"

Qiu Mu laughed and said, "I also took care of you all night?"

The old man snorted, and said coyly, "You're not bad, either."

But as expected, he still cared more about what Qiu Mu said just now that Ye Li was crying, and couldn't help asking again and again.

So when Qiu Mu's parents just opened the door of the ward and walked in, what they heard was the old man saying to Qiu Mu one after another: "Is Xiao Li okay? Don't you blame yourself too much? Why are you just sitting here with me? If you don’t go and try to persuade others, you’re not sensible.”

"...??"

what's the situation.

Hearing the movement at the door, the old man turned to look at his son and daughter-in-law.The feigned expression of "smiling and scolding my grandson, 'Why are you so ignorant~'" immediately became rigid—it was exactly the same as when I saw them in the past and scolded them as "unworthy children and grandchildren".

Qiu Mu watched the old man change his face with a smile, and said to himself that he was really a dishonest old man.In fact, I am very happy that my juniors care about me, so I use scolding to cover up my inner embarrassment.

Sitting quietly on the sidelines, listening to the exchange of feelings between several adults.

The atmosphere finally became harmonious, and after a while, the old man heard that they were going to take him to the hospital in Shanghai, and then he was going to leave in the afternoon because of the company's business, and suddenly became angry again.

"Get out, get out of here, if you want to go, go quickly, don't get in the way of my eyes!" The old man said, "I'll stay here. I don't care where you go."

Qiu Mu's father looked at this stubborn old man in embarrassment.

Qiu Mu's mother said: "Dad, we are also worried about you. This time you are safe and sound. What should we do if something like this happens again next time? At any rate, let us be by your side. can take care of you."

The old man sneered: "I have Xiaoli and Mu'er here with me, they are much more filial than you. After going to Shanghai, you can't see both of you in the New Year's house. Who will take care of the other?"

Qiu Mu's father said: "You go, of course we will hire a full-time nanny."

Qiu Mu's mother: "Mu'er will go with you and stay in Shanghai."

The old man was taken aback, and thought he was right, he had passed by himself, and Qiu Mu had no reason to stay in this small city anymore.

Qiu Mu's mother hadn't finished her sentence: "Mu'er studies well, and we want to train him seriously in high school. The resources in Shanghai are better than here, and we plan to take him to live there. But you stay here alone, we Don’t worry. Mu’er thinks the same way—it’s because of you that he doesn’t want to go back with us, and he hasn’t told you all this time.”

Qiu Mu: "..."

Sure enough, he used this trick to deal with the old man.

After the old man finished listening, his attitude suddenly hesitated.

Qiu Mu is filial, he knows that it was because he was able to take care of him that he came all the way here in the first place.Now that something like this happened, he needed company more than in the past. Of course, it was impossible for Qiu Mu to leave at this time.

It’s just that Qiu Mu has good academic performance and should go to a better place to get a better education, but now because of him, he has to stay here, wasting his talents... Thinking about it, the old man suddenly felt a little guilty.

Qiu Mu's parents exchanged glances, knowing that this method is useful.Retired and said: "Winter vacation is coming soon, Dad, you and Mu'er will go to Shanghai with us to live for a while, and try out how you feel. I can also heal your injuries and recuperate your body there."

Having said all this, the old man looked at Qiu Mu, and Qiu Mu could only squeeze out a smile: "Go and stay for a month or two, if you can't, you can come back."

"..." The old man pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Then go."
