Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 59 You better not lie to me

Because he joined the city volunteers, Ni Manhua did not go home during the National Day.Seeing Lin Xiang talking about missing them in the group, like a little daughter-in-law, and everyone came out to speak, Ni Manhua realized that none of them who were out of town during the National Day this year went back.

Ni Manhua expected that Zhan Ping didn't come home. After Zhan Ping went to college, her aunts were fired. She would live alone when she went back, so she might as well stay at school.Originally, before school started, Zhan Ping said she would come to Beijing to play with Ni Manhua during the National Day, but Ni Manhua was now standing on the side of the road from morning to night and had no time to entertain her, so Zhan Ping didn't come over.

"The red light has seven seconds left. Please stand inside the line and don't be in a hurry." Ni Manhua held up a small flag and stopped an aunt who was about to rush forward. He handed a napkin to his side: "Wipe your sweat." Well, there aren’t many people now. If you’re tired, go sit next to me and I’ll take your place.”

Looking at Lu Guanhai, who was also sweating all over his clothes, Ni Manhua shook his head: "Thank you, I'm not tired. I just replaced Yan Bei. You can go and rest yourself."

Yan Bei was the girl who cared about Ni Manhua on the first day of the event. She was also a freshman in the same school as Lu Guanhai.Because there were a lot of people participating in the event, Wei Kuo divided them into several teams and distributed them on various main roads in this urban area.

Wei Kuo, Lu Guanhai, Yan Bei, and Ni Manhua are in the same team. They usually take turns to take a break every three or ten minutes when they are busy, and take turns to take a break in pairs when they are not busy.

Although today is the National Day, the sun is really bright at [-] o'clock at noon, and there are few pedestrians on the road. Their work is much easier than in the morning and evening.

Yan Bei called over there: "Lu Guanhai, do you want to eat oranges?"

Lu Guanhai glanced at Ni Manhua, then walked over and sat with her. He also took an orange from the table. Yan Bei bought the orange with his own money. She likes to eat fruits very much, as long as she is resting. Every time, she will eat some fruit.

When everyone was eating lunch together at noon, Ni Manhua said that today's rice was a bit dry, and Yan Bei gave her half a cucumber.

The light turned green again, and Ni Manhua saw a gray-haired old woman walking tremblingly onto the zebra crossing on crutches. She hurriedly ran over and helped her: "Slow down, grandma, I'll help you across."

The old lady responded cheerfully, narrowing her eyes slightly: "The little girl is still a student, right? She looks so small."

"Yes, I am a freshman, grandma, the sun is so strong now, please go to a shady place to stay."

"Okay, I'm heading home now."

Ni Manhua carefully accompanied her across the road. Ni Manhua always felt a little nervous while holding her thin, wrinkled arms.

She is always in awe of these things that have traces of time. How many things must a person go through to reach this age step by step and have such a fragile yet strong body.

Smoothly walking to the other side of the road, the old lady walked up the stairs with a crutch. It was obvious that one foot was still stable when she went up, but before she could lift the other foot, she suddenly closed her eyes and fainted to the ground.

Ni Manhua reacted quite quickly. She used one side of her body to support her and shouted anxiously: "Grandma, grandma?"

The old lady didn't respond to her, Ni Manhua hurriedly turned her head and shouted: "Lu Guanhai, come and help me."

Lu Guanhai over there had just noticed something strange here, and when he heard the call, he hurriedly ran towards this side, and Wei Kuo also followed.

After Lu Guanhai came over, he signaled Ni Manhua to put the old woman down: "Put her body down and let her lie flat. Wei Kuo quickly called 120."

Ni Manhua obediently put the old woman down, and then followed Lu Guanhai's instructions to hold up her neck and tilt her back slightly, watching Lu Guanhai perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the old woman.

Soon after Wei Kuo made the phone call, he also squatted down to look at it. Lu Guanhai told him, "Is there a tissue? Clean up the secretions from her nose and mouth."

Wei Kuo touched his pocket: "I'll get it."

"I have it here," Ni Manhua said, taking out a tissue from his pocket and doing as Lu Guanhai asked.

Sweat kept rolling down from their foreheads under the scorching sun, and a lot of it entered their eyes, causing pain in their eyes. However, they did not dare to slack off for a moment. Ni Manhua could only raise his arms from time to time, wiping the sweat away with difficulty.

When the ambulance arrived and the medical staff helped the old woman onto the stretcher, Ni Manhua sat down on the road. The tight string in his mind relaxed, but all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained, and he could not move.

Lu Guanhai looked exhausted, but he still came over and helped Ni Manhua up: "Don't sit here, it's not safe. Go back to the shed and rest."

Ni Manhua nodded, slowly dragged his body back to the shed, and washed his hands with mineral water.

Yan Bei took the initiative to come over and wipe her sweat: "Are you okay? I was scared to death just now. What's going on with the old lady?"

"I don't know, I hope it's nothing serious." After washing his hands, Ni Manhua lay on the table, closed his eyes and rested for a while, the scene just now replayed in his mind.

What happened so unexpectedly, if Lu Guanhai didn't know first aid, she really didn't know what she would have done.

Wait, Ni Manhua suddenly opened his eyes, Lu Guanhai studied archeology, why did he know first aid?

Yan Bei saw that Ni Manhua was so tired and didn't want to disturb her. He stood up and said to Lu Guanhai, "You're tired too. Take a rest. I'll keep standing."

"Okay," Lu Guanhai didn't shirk, walked over to Ni Manhua, took a stool and sat down, then drank some water.

Lu Guanhai glanced at Ni Manhua, who was still lying down: "So tired? Are you from the sun or are you scared?"

Ni Manhua sat up slowly, looked at him and asked, "When did you learn first aid? Are you... also from the future? You are not the current Lu Guanhai, right?"

Lu Guanhai screwed the bottle cap on, put the water back on the table, and looked at her with a dumbfounded look: "Aren't you stupid because of fatigue? Do you need to learn first aid in the future? My mother has always been in poor health. , so I asked Su Guzhi to teach me."

Ni Manhua looked at Lu Guanhai carefully. His tone and demeanor were flawless, but why, she still felt that he had the shadow of the future Lu Guanhai in him.

Is she worried too much?Still...she had begun to miss him.

"If you're too tired, go back and rest. Wei Kuo won't say anything if you take a day off." After Lu Guanhai said this, he stood up. Their two companions were also working hard. Lu Guanhai wanted to take the place of one of them. for them.

But as soon as he stood up, Ni Manhua reached out and grabbed his clothes.Lu Guanhai could only stand still.

Ni Manhua looked at Lu Guanhai's back and said slowly: "If you are not from the future, your first reaction shouldn't be to wonder why I asked you this? Lu Guanhai, you'd better not lie to me."

Lu Guanhai turned back and glanced at her with a worried look: "I just thought you were scared, so it's not unusual to ask such a question. So, are you from the future? Will we have more contact in the future?"

Ni Manhua looked at him, speechless for a long time, his five fingers seemed to be pulled by an unknown force, and slowly loosened.
