1 An Injured Hand

When we are young, we lack fear for ti about the results or understanding to fear the consequences So, often during our youth, we only need a littlemistakes However, e understand this idea, mistakes usually have already been made; e haven’t yetadvice

Xiao Bo’s ood, he was already in the top 80 of his year group so if he can reach top 50, with the school’s past perforet into a fah the co you go, Xiao Bo was filled with confidence

Brother Li and I were both very happy Brother Li specially urged Wu Zei and other staff to go to him if there were any matters and to not disturb Xiao Bo to let hiao kao

The weekend after the mid-semester exam finished, Brother Li invited me, Xiao Bo, Wu Zei and Enchantress out to eat He said it was to congratulate Xiao Bo but actually, it was to find an opportunity to get together Nowadays, it was hard to see Xiao Bo, even I have to run to the high school department to see him

That guy was really going all out to get into a good university

We chatted and ate, in the o to the bathroo the name “Ge Xiao Fei”, I couldn’t help but stop in suspicion

In the hter, I was able to hear parts of their conversation

“Really? She got an abortion when she was only fifteen?”

“Really! Ge Xiao Fei, I heard that her grades are pretty good, she’s a student in No1”

“Eh? In No1? That’s one of the top schools in the province, what else did you hear, quickly tell, how did she get pregnant?”

“How did she get pregnant? Of course it’s because she slept with a guy!”

Loud laughter ensued

“I heard that she changed countless boyfriends when she’s so young……”

My hands and feet went cold, didn’t everything pass already? Why is it like this? The sound of their conversation still reached my ears I suddenly felt violent resentment, why are there so many people in the world who like to discuss other people’s rights and wrongs? Why do they like to use other people’s wounds to entertain thes?

Without thinking, I walked inside and slapped the face of the girl as sitting near the door and spreading the gossip

After I slapped her, I realised it was Zhang Jun’s girlfriend

Everyone became speechless and the room was silent for a few seconds before she juirlfriends also reacted and started to hit me

I was beaten to the floor andbeca yanked painfully and a few handfuls were probably yanked out My legs were also being kicked by high heels and in nu pain

In midst of this, I felt an empty wine bottle on the floor In my predicament, I instinctively used the wine bottle to s me After it smashed into the person, I felt a warhtened I tightly clutched the re half of the wine bottle and as soon as I saw a black figure getting close to me, I stabbed forwards

They started to shout, “Murder, so people……”

Sorabbed my hands Just as I wanted to strike at them backhandedly, the wine bottle in my hand was immediately taken away

“Qi Qi!”

It was Xiao Bo’s voice There was tre in his voice, he used his hands to wipe the blood on my face, “Where are you hurt?”

“I don’t know”

The sound of crying and shouting ether and when I was truly awake, I was already inside the hospital

The female doctor was Brother Li’s middle school classmate She satirized Brother Li, “How is it that soht for three days do you feel uncouys, I can’t be polite to you people who cause disorder in society! Say, why doesn’t the police put you all in jail?”

Brother Li forced a sently”

The female doctor looked at me, “Luo Qi Qi? I’ve watched your speeches before on television, it was really good I thought you were a good student, why are you also fighting?” As she spoke, she used a gauze to clean the blood on h the blood was all over my body, I only had a wound on my palm Most of the blood were probably other people’s

As the doctor pulled the glass out from inside the wound, she shouted at Brother Li, “Do you see this? If this piece of glass was set just a bit deeper, her hand would becoood yourself, you’re bringing your little sister doith you”

Brother Li s but Xiao Bo’s complexion was very sallow

After the doctor finished pulling out the glass and stitched it up, she stopped scolding us She gently asked me, “Isn’t it painful? Why don’t you make any sound? If it’s painful, just shout it out”

I clenched my teeth and didn’t make a sound Brother Li smiled, “If she was the type to shout out her pain, she wouldn’t end up like this We were all at the back, if she really wanted to teach someone a lesson, ould she need to do it herself?”

The felared fiercely at Brother Li, “It’s words like these that turn people bad She is a young girl, even if she had some problem, she has her parents, her teachers, the police, why does she need to fight?”

Brother Li gave a hollow laugh and didn’t dare say anything else

After the wound was treated, Brother Li and Xiao Bo broughtmajor happened to the others, one of theot a head injury” Wu Zei jabbedmedicine today? Xiao Bo, you should discipline her better, why is her temper so impulsive? I just asked, they said that a few sisters were eating and she rando them”

Brother Li ordered, “We’ll pay the o and buy soood words……”

I immediately said, “You can’t! She deserved it! Why do we have to pay her medical fees?”

Brother Li hurriedly spoke, “Ok, ok, ok! We won’t, on’t!” But he secretly flashed a look at Wu Zei

One of Brother Li’s hly value their reputation The person who got hit this tiht not be easy to explain”

Just as ere talking,Zhang Jun and a few of his strong friends walk in Zhang Jun’s girlfriend also appeared fro Jun, she hit me for no reason Two of my friends were beaten so bad they’re currently hospitalized This , she glared fiercely at me

Zhang Jun saw one ofand froze for a bit, he probably only found out that his girlfriend also fought

Brother Li walked over warmly, clutched one of his hands and put his other hand on his shoulder and led hi non stop

Zhang Jun’s girlfriend wanted to go but Brother Li raised his head and said, “Usmatters, women shouldn’t participate”

Zhang Jun’s girlfriend’s face turned bright red but she knew that in this circle, the rules were truly like this

I don’t knohat Brother Li said but I saw Zhang Jun nodding Brother Li called Xiao Bo over and stood to the side hi Jun violently punched Xiao Bo’s abdomen fiercely three times Xiao Bo hunched over in pain After a little while, Xiao Bo stood straight and Zhang Jun fiercely punched him another three times This time, Xiao Bo couldn’t take it and his whole body knelt down

NoJun’s friends, they all stood there watching, following the rules of handling matters

I wanted to call out but no sound ca in my eye sockets

Brother Li walked over and s Jun sain Xiao bo also s just then weren’t them

The three people chatted for a bit then Zhang Jun left with his people His girlfriend stood there for a while dumbfounded then chased him, “Is it settled just like that? What about my friends’ injuries? How do you want , well I fucking feel embarrassed……”

The five of us got on to Brother Li’s old car Enchantress, Wu Zei and I sat at the back and Xiao Bo sat at the front I was quiet, Brother Li was quiet and Xiao Bo was also quiet

Wu Zei felt it was suffocating so he asked Xiao Bo, “Are Zhang Jun’s little fists strong?” The Enchantress elbowed him and he quickly shut his mouth

I suddenly asked, “Wu Zei, what do those girls today do?”

Enchantress said, “Apart froirlfriend, there is another who is part of the art troup, one does crafts and one is a priirl who you injured on the head has a hair salon”

I sat there dazedly, feeling powerless all over Perhaps I can think of a way to shut their mouths but what about the mouths of other people?

After I got home, when mom and dad saw my hand, they became flustered

I had long becohon Guan He’s bicycle and accidentally fell down, I used ht that there was broken glass on the ground My hand was cut open and Guan He didn’t have the time to tell her parents as she rushed me to hospital

Guan He was a top student in the minds of both teachers and parents so they believed her testifying even old

The next day, I went to school with auze When Guan He saw, she asked in concern, “What happened?”

I said, “I toldwith you, I fell down from your bicycle and injured my hand”

Guan He froze for a bit then readily said, “Okay ah, I got it”

I didn’t have the energy to listen to class or to read Straight after class, I went to find Xiao Fei She laughed at my stupid appearance but fed me already peeled chestnuts

She was sporting a short haircut and with a blue and white sportswear and white sport shoes on, she looked like a tomboy

I s?”

“What?”

“You have to be a strong person”

Xiao Fei stared at me surprised but after a while, she smiled and nodded, “I will”

“No ”

“Okay”

I said, “You have to forever remember what you promised me today”

Xiao Fei stared at me and worriedly asked, “Qi Qi, do you have some incurable disease?”

I hit her with my other hand, “You’re the one who has a disease”

“Your words sound like the dying words of people with diseases on TV”

“Anyhow, you have to re”

“What exactly happened to your hand? Did you really fall down frolass?”

“I really injured it fro down from the bicycle”

A few days later, I looked down froirlfriend She was probably waiting for Zhang Jun and he went down to see her

Not long after, the corridor was full of people, all in front of the atching

They talked for a long ti Zhang Jun had his hands in his pockets the whole tiround, it was completely in line with his spiritless state at school

Just as everyone was getting bored, suddenly, his girlfriend hit hiry and she kicked and slapped at hi and let her hit She cried and hit and shouted, I only heard the words, “bastard”, “asshole”, “I was blind” again and again Zhang Jun had his head lowered and after the girl got tired, she ran off like the wind

Everyone was speechless but Zhang Jun looked as if nothing had happenedHe went and stood by the trees alone for a while then walked back up the building

Everyone watching dispersed I was standing in front of theand couldn’t be bothered lanced atout in a daze

There were quite a few nail marks on his face and it took teeks for it to disappear The whole irl

Even at ho our parents how the girl beat hi that they sent their daughter into a film and television class instead

The ruirls started secretly discussing it, the teachers also discussed it in their offices

What a hot topic! Aan abortion can become headline news in the times nohat is there to say about ten years before?

Xiao Fei still obliviously went to school and studied, it seemed like the person in the rumour is always the last person to find out

Everyday after class, I went to find her and used up all her time I could only use my tiny power to distance her from the rumor

Finally, even my mom and dad heard about it Mom worriedly asked me, “Didn’t she sleep over once at our house? Is she still your good friend now?”

I coldly said, “I don’t know”

Different versions of Xiao Fei’s abortion appeared, apparently she went out to play and was gang raped by four people No one knoho exactly the father is

Xiao Fei finally found out about everything Her teachers and classirls refused to talk to her and the guys all peeked at her She quietly went to school and went ho recess to read with her or sit with her
