Chapter 78
Chapter 78 Accident
Tan Zaozao, who came to visit the sick, extended cordial condolences to Ruan Nanzhu, although Ruan Nanzhu ignored her throughout the whole process.
"How was your fourth door?" Lin Qiushi, who was sitting beside him with nothing to do, asked her casually.
"The fourth door?" Tan Zaozao scratched his head, "Is it alright..." She seemed reluctant to talk about the world inside the door, and quickly avoided the topic.
Seeing this, Lin Qiushi did not continue to ask.
On the TV hanging on the wall of the hospital, occasionally a perfume advertisement of Tan Zaozao's performance will be inserted. On the big screen, she is noble and glamorous. Lin Qiushi glanced at the advertisement, and then looked at her, who shrank beside Ruan Nanzhu and ate mangoes with yellow flesh all over her face, and fell into a subtle silence.
Tan Zaozao obviously guessed what he was thinking from Lin Qiushi's expression, and said angrily, "Don't look at it, it's all fake!"
Lin Qiushi: "Well..."
Tan Zaozao looked at Lin Qiushi and asked maliciously, "Do you have a favorite star?"
Lin Qiushi said bluntly: "No." He doesn't chase stars.
Tan Zaozao regretted: "That's a pity, maybe I can help you to get an autograph." Maybe I can also reveal a few gossips that destroy the three views...
They chatted, but a breaking news was broadcast on the TV, saying that a certain star suddenly suffered a car accident on the way to a concert and died on the spot, and then broadcast a tragic scene of the car accident scene.
Tan Zaozao, who was still nibbling on mangoes, had a momentary dazed expression, and she said, "He..."
Ruan Nanzhu, who was lying on the bed, said softly, "You know him?"
Tan Zaozao nodded.
She put down the mango in her hand and said in a low voice, "This person seems to be the one who entered the door. We filmed an advertisement together, but we didn't have a deep friendship..."
Lin Qiushi looked at Tan Zaozao, and her mood dropped significantly.
"Later he had some accidents." Tan Zaozao said, "During the concert, the lamp on his head fell directly, but he was only slightly injured, and then there were some accidents." She said slowly , "I was a little suspicious at that time..."
"Could it be just an accident?" Lin Qiushi frowned, "Not necessarily the door..."
"It should be the door." Tan Zaozao sighed, and his mood was obviously depressed, "I'll go first, you guys should take good care of yourself."
Lin Qiushi looked at her and didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only leave in a hurry in the end.
When Tan Zaozao left, Ruan Nanzhu's expression was always calm, and Lin Qiushi said, "Is she alright?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "It's okay, it will be fine in two days."
Lin Qiushi felt that Tan Zaozao had always been optimistic, but he didn't expect his mood to suddenly collapse... Although he left here in a hurry before he collapsed.
Facing Lin Qiushi's daze, Ruan Nanzhu showed a bit of helplessness, and he said, "Have you never liked anyone in particular?"
Lin Qiushi thought about it carefully, and shook his head slowly but surely: "No." He said, "My family relationship is weak, and in my impression... there is really no one I particularly like."
From childhood to adulthood, he has only a handful of friends around him, and it is precisely because of this that he can leave the original city without reluctance and come here to work.
"There will always be girls who like you." Ruan Nanzhu's tone was firm, "Could it be that you have never been confessed?" He didn't believe that Lin Qiushi's personality and appearance would not be popular with girls.
"The confession has been confessed, but I refused." Lin Qiushi replied.
Ruan Nanzhu: "Why did you refuse?"
Lin Qiushi: "Because I can't give them what they want."
Ruan Nanzhu frowned: "How do you know you can't?"
Lin Qiushi was quiet for a while, and his voice was soft: "I don't like them."
Ruan Nanzhu laughed dumbly, and he said, "You are sober."
Lin Qiushi smiled and said, "You can't delay them, they are all good girls."
Lin Qiushi is indeed a warm person. As long as he encounters something in need, he will always try his best to help. But his kindness is not unlimited. To put it bluntly, he has never been generous to others, has a full understanding of his own strength, and will not ask others to do anything beyond his ability.
A person who is kind, smart, and knows how to judge the situation is always very attractive.
Ruan Nanzhu slowly closed his eyes, but what attracted him to Lin Qiushi was more than that.
When Lin Qiushi saw Ruan Nanzhu closed his eyes, he thought he was tired. He stood up from Ruan Nanzhu and left the ward lightly. When he went out, he happened to see Cheng Qianli coming back with washed lychees.
"Why did you come out?" Cheng Qianli asked.
"Don't go in." Lin Qiushi said, "He is resting, and Zazao is gone."
Cheng Qianli: "Oh, what about the lychee?"
Lin Qiushi glanced at it: "Leave it, wait for him to wake up and bring it in, or you can eat it."
Cheng Qianli: "I still don't eat it. Brother Ruan seems to like eating lychees."
Lin Qiushi suddenly became a little curious when he heard the words: "What else does he like besides lychees?" He and Ruan Nanzhu have also lived together for some time, but they are not very clear about his preferences.
Cheng Qianli said, "What do I like? There are quite a few things I like." He looked at Lizhi and then at Lin Qiushi, "I seem to like you too."
Lin Qiushi: "Don't he like you?"
Cheng Qianli smiled awkwardly: "Hey hey that's right, I'm so cute."
Lin Qiushi thought that you are so shameless.
During the period of Ruan Nanzhu's cultivation, many people from other organizations came to visit. It is said to be visiting, but in fact, it is more about inquiring about news. After all, it is rare to see a big guy like Ruan Nanzhu who has passed ten doors.
Bailu's Li Dongyuan also came cheekily. Although Ruan Nanzhu agreed with him to enter the ward, he didn't give him a good look during the whole process.
Lin Qiushi sat next to Ruan Nanzhu peeling lychees to eat. Ruan Nanzhu opened his mouth slightly, and the milky white soft pulp was put into his pale lips. After chewing carefully, his mouth opened, and Lin Qiushi handed the fruit plate over. The tongue pushed out the black kernel.
The whole process of eating was actually very elegant. Looking at Ruan Nanzhu's appearance, Lin Qiushi suddenly understood Tan Zaozao's sentence that beautiful women should eat lychees.
Li Dongyuan sat next to him, with a kind smile on the baby's face, which was completely different from the one inside the door. He said, "Nan Zhu..."
Ruan Nanzhu glared at him sideways.
Li Dongyuan had to change his words: "Brother Ruan, Brother Ruan, are you alright?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "Well, didn't you see it? Tell me if you have something."
Li Dongyuan turned to look at Lin Qiushi.
Ruan Nanzhu knew what he meant and narrowed his eyes: "Don't avoid him."
Li Dongyuan said, "I'm about to pass the ninth door, that's it..."
Ruan Nanzhu: "No, get out."
Li Dongyuan: "..."
Lin Qiushi wanted to laugh when he heard it, but felt that it was inappropriate to laugh, so he lowered his eyes and pretended that he was seriously peeling lychees.
"Don't be so fierce." Li Dongyuan felt wronged, "I haven't even bothered with you when you pretended that Zhu Meng was in love with me." His big eyes were watery, and Lin Qiushi looked at him inexplicably. I remembered the corgi that Cheng Qianli kept...
However, Ruan Nanzhu's heart was as hard as iron, and he was unmoved. He didn't even show any surprise when Li Dongyuan revealed his identity: "Don't talk nonsense, just get down to business."
Li Dongyuan said, "Didn't I hear that you still have a clue to the ninth door..."
Ruan Nanzhu smiled but not smiled: "I heard?"
Li Dongyuan: "Damn it, I really heard it, they are all spreading it."
They chatted here, but Lin Qiushi suddenly remembered that Ruan Nanzhu had passed the tenth door, so could he have obtained the clue of the eleventh door? don't know what the clues of the eleventh door are, and if there is anything special compared to the other doors.
"So?" Ruan Nanzhu looked at him.
"So, can you sell me the clues?" Li Dongyuan finally revealed the purpose of his coming here today.
Ruan Nanzhu refused without hesitation: "Impossible."
Li Dongyuan: "You can bid whatever you want, as long as I can afford itβ" The clue to the ninth door was so rare that even he didn't get it.
Only the lunatic Ruan Nanzhu can get two.
Ruan Nanzhu ate a lychee that was fed to his mouth and did not respond.
Seeing Ruan Nanzhu's attitude, Li Dongyuan seemed a little anxious, and he said, "Thirteen days is the deadline for me to enter the door, and I don't have that much time."
Ruan Nanzhu: "Aren't you very happy to pry my business? You also said that I was serving a servant in Israel." He laughed, but his eyes were cold, "Now you know you are coming to beg me?"
Li Dongyuan laughed awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, or I'll accompany you to sleep for one night, and you will forget a lot of this matter?"
Ruan Nanzhu pointed at the door: "Go away."
Li Dongyuan showed an aggrieved expression.
Lin Qiushi thought that you are a bit too much. If you want to get clues, forget about it, and you want to take advantage of our boss. It's not wrong to be called out.
"It's not impossible to give you the clues of the ninth door." Ruan Nanzhu said, "But I have a condition."
Li Dongyuan: "What conditions?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "You have to accompany him to the tenth door."
Li Dongyuan was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Lin Qiushi: "You shouldn't be..."
Ruan Nanzhu said: "Yes."
Li Dongyuan's expression changed greatly: "Are you crazy?!"
Ruan Nanzhu was impatient: "Promise or leave, don't waste my time here."
Li Dongyuan's face was gloomy and uncertain, but he finally agreed, and followed Lin Qiushi to enter the tenth door. But looking at his expression, it seemed that he had something to say, but he didn't say it because of Lin Qiushi's presence.
Lin Qiushi stood up at the right time and said that he wanted to wash his hands.
Ruan Nanzhu did not stop this time.
As a result, Lin Qiushi just went to the toilet to wash his hands and came back when he heard Ruan Nanzhu quarreling with Li Dongyuan. Li Dongyuan was not Ruan Nanzhu's opponent.
Lin Qiushi was inexplicably stared at by him, and Li Dongyuan said, "Be careful yourself, Zhumeng will definitely be bigger than you when he pulls it out!"
Lin Qiushi: "..." I already know that he is older than me, so I don't need you to remind me. Thank you.
He entered the room and saw Ruan Nanzhu sitting on the bed with an expressionless face, and said, "Why are you arguing?"
Ruan Nanzhu said: "Someone insists on pointing fingers at me." He disdainfully said, "Is he worthy too?"
Lin Qiushi: "You're still sick, don't be angry." He asked gently, "What would you like to eat at night?"
Ruan Nanzhu leaned against the bed: "Drink porridge, the porridge you cooked."
Li Dongyuan left angrily, but Lin Qiushi didn't take it to heart. He thought that there would still be many stories between Li Dongyuan and them, whether good or bad, but Lin Qiushi didn't expect that that day would be the last time he and Li Dongyuan saw each other. one side.
Thirteen days later, Ruan Nanzhu, who had been discharged from the hospital, received a call. The people in the villa were having breakfast together. After he hung up the phone, his expression froze for a moment, and then he whispered, "Li Dongyuan is dead."
The people who were still talking suddenly quieted down, and everyone heard Ruan Nanzhu's words.
Cheng Qianli's action of eating the buns also stopped, he sighed, and asked what everyone wanted to ask: "Brother Ruan, what are you talking about... Li Dongyuan, is that Li Dongyuan from Bailu?"
Ruan Nanzhu snorted and stood up: "I want to go there."
Lin Qiushi said, "I'll accompany you." Although Ruan Nanzhu was discharged from the hospital, his body had not fully recovered, and his face seemed a little pale now. He was worried that Ruan Nanzhu would not be able to support himself if something happened outside.
"Okay." Ruan Nanzhu agreed with Lin Qiushi to follow.
Lin Qiushi quickly changed his clothes and got into the car with Ruan Nanzhu.
After Ruan Nanzhu said a location, he sat in the co-pilot and closed his eyes to rest. But this fragility seems to be just Lin Qiushi's illusion.
Is Ruan Nanzhu sad? No, Lin Qiushi felt that he was more of a sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox. Ruan Nanzhu hated Li Dongyuan, but didn't want him to die like this, because seeing Li Dongyuan's fate, they would think of themselves.
Lin Qiushi remembered the last time he had met with Li Dongyuan more than ten days ago. He exhaled a long breath, as if to spit out the breath that was pressing on his chest.
After a forty-minute drive, they arrived at an apartment in the city.
Lin Qiushi thought that Bailu lived in a certain house in the apartment, but only when he arrived did he realize that Bailu bought this apartment.
At this time, there were a lot of people around the apartment, and Lin Qiushi had a bad premonition when he saw it. Sure enough, after he parked the car, he moved towards the crowd and saw something surrounded by the crowd.
It was a smashed corpse that had been smashed, and its appearance could not be seen, but it could be recognized from the clothes and shape that the person who fell to death in front of him was Li Dongyuan.
It was not the first time that Lin Qiushi saw a dead person in reality, but it was the first time that he saw a familiar person die like this. He turned his head and looked at Ruan Nanzhu, and saw that he still maintained a flat expression, only those black eyes surging, like a disturbed deep lake.
The woman's cry sounded, and a teenage girl was thrown out of the crowd. She knelt beside Li Dongyuan's corpse and cried, and wanted to reach out and take Li Dongyuan's shattered corpse into her arms.
The people around stopped the girl's actions and forcibly pulled her away from Li Dongyuan's corpse.
Lin Qiushi looked around and found that some people were whispering, while others had sad expressions and numb eyes, thinking that they should belong to the members of Bailu.
A beautiful woman walked up to Ruan Nanzhu and whispered to him, "Hello, Mr. Ruan."
"Hello, Miss Jin." Ruan Nanzhu said.
"You can call me by my name, Jin Yurui." The woman seemed to want to smile at Ruan Nanzhu, but she was extraordinarily stiff, she just bent the corners of her mouth abruptly, looking very reluctant, "After that, it will be up to me. Come and take over the internal affairs of Bailu."
The meaning of the words is that she is the next leader of Bailu.
"Well." Ruan Nanzhu nodded, indicating that he knew, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said again: "If you don't want to laugh, stop laughing."
Jin Yurui's smile faded instantly. She took a deep breath, as if to control her emotions, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Please come in, Mr. Ruan."
Ruan Nanzhu nodded and walked towards the house, with Lin Qiushi following behind him.
There were a total of six people sitting or standing in the hall of the apartment, plus those outside, the entire White Deer organization should be around twenty people.
Jin Yurui started to announce what Li Dongyuan had prepared before his death, and the whole process was very quiet.
However, in this silence, Lin Qiushi felt an undercurrent surging. Some people in the crowd seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Jin Yurui as the successor, but their eyes fell on Ruan Nanzhu - they were actually afraid of Ruan Nanzhu, an outsider.
Lin Qiushi finally understood the meaning of Ruan Nanzhu's coming here. He actually came here for the last time for Li Dongyuan Town.
Jin Yurui became the next leader of Bailu. She had just passed the eighth door, and there was still some time before the ninth door.
But obviously, she couldn't convince Bailu everyone like Li Dongyuan.
Ruan Nanzhu must have seen it, but he didn't intend to interfere in Bailu's affairs, just sat beside him silently.
Seeing his pale face, Lin Qiushi thought that he probably felt a little uncomfortable, so he was a little worried, and after thinking about it, he took out a candy from his pocket and quietly stuffed it into Ruan Nanzhu.
Ruan Nanzhu looked back at him, nodded lightly, peeled off the candy wrapper, and slowly put it into his mouth.
The taste of the candy was very sweet, diluting some uncomfortable feeling. Ruan Nanzhu sat in the hall for a long time until Jin Yurui finished her instructions.
The people in the hall began to disperse, and in the end only the three of them remained.
Jin Yurui raised her head and smiled bitterly, "Thank you, Mr. Ruan, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even know what to do."
Ruan Nanzhu stood up and said, "I can only help you get here, and you have to walk the rest of the way yourself."
Jin Yurui nodded, she was not a fragile dodder, although she was shaken for a while in the face of the wind and rain, she still had to stand in the storm after all.
"Then we will leave first." Ruan Nanzhu said.
"Don't Mr. Ruan stay for dinner?" Jin Yurui asked politely.
"No need." Ruan Nanzhu declined Jin Yurui's kindness and said, "I will come back when he is buried."
Jin Yurui didn't force it either, nodded and sent Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi to the door.
Li Dongyuan's body has been cleaned up, and there is only a pool of dirty blood on the ground telling the world what happened here.
In a few days, the stains on this beach will disappear. People will come and go in Bailu. Maybe they will soon forget that there was once a leader named Li Dongyuan.
All the way, Ruan Nanzhu's face was not very good-looking.
On the way back, when he got into the cab, Lin Qiushi realized that something was wrong, and he said, "Nan Zhu, are your wounds okay?" He smelled a faint smell of blood. At first Lin Qiushi thought that the bloody smell was due to Li Dongyuan, but now Lin Qiushi can still smell it.
"It's okay." Ruan Nanzhu leaned on the door.
Lin Qiushi didn't believe he was okay at all, he frowned and said, "Show me."
Ruan Nanzhu said: "No."
Lin Qiushi was stunned, he didn't expect Ruan Nanzhu to refuse so simply.
"Go back and talk about it." Ruan Nanzhu said. After he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and seemed a little tired.
Lin Qiushi was worried and drove the car faster.
After dozens of minutes, when they returned to the villa, Ruan Nanzhu opened his eyes tiredly. Lin Qiushi quickly helped him into the house. After seeing him lying on the bed, he sat on the edge of the bed very naturally and grabbed his hands. Ruan Nanzhu's clothes.
Ruan Nanzhu looked up at him: "What are you doing?"
Lin Qiushi said, "I want to see your back..." The wound on Ruan Nanzhu's back was the most serious.
Ruan Nanzhu tilted his head and glanced at Lin Qiushi: "Is it okay not to look at it."
Lin Qiushi frowned: "No." He felt that Ruan Nanzhu's wound must have ruptured.
Ruan Nanzhu thought for a while: "Then give me a candy."
Lin Qiushi took out the candy from his pocket, peeled it off, and stuffed it into Ruan Nanzhu's mouth.
"Look." Ruan Nanzhu, with sugar in his mouth, said vaguely, "Actually, there's nothing to see..."
Lin Qiushi opened the clothes that Ruan Nanzhu was wearing, and as expected, he saw that the wound had split open, and the blood flowed down his back, and was finally absorbed by the clothes.
He frowned: "I can't do this, I have to go to the hospital."
Ruan Nanzhu stopped moving, and his breathing became even.
Lin Qiushi looked up and sighed, "Why did you start pretending to be asleep?"
Ruan Nanzhu still didn't speak.
Lin Qiushi looked helpless, so he could only get up and go to the side to get the gauze, and help Ruan Nanzhu to simply deal with the cracked area, and said in his mouth: "You must go to the hospital tomorrow morning."
Ruan Nanzhu mumbled vaguely, then closed his eyes again, he was indeed a little tired and wanted to rest.
