Lu Xubo was a little excited. As he spoke, he looked at his father beside him in pain.

"He even sold the TV at home for wine. If the property rights of the house weren't in the work unit and he couldn't sell it, I wouldn't even have a place to live. Zhou Rui, you don't understand."

Zhou Rui sighed in his heart.

When he was a freshman and sophomore in high school, Zhou Rui often hung out with Lu Xubo. At that time, he didn't feel that Lu Xubo was short of money.

Because he didn't have any money himself, the two of them occasionally took ten or twenty yuan, went online, and bought a string of skewers, which was enough to make a living.

But he didn't know that he only had ten yuan because Yao Peili only gave him ten yuan.

Lu Xubo had ten yuan, but because his family only had ten yuan, he didn't want his father to use it to buy wine, and he couldn't save the money, so he simply spent it himself.

"When I was a freshman and sophomore in high school, I didn't understand it. I was confused and felt that even though my family was a mess, I could survive as long as I came to school. I was still studying and dreaming about the college entrance examination. But after my senior year in high school, I understood.

...."

Lu Xubo looked at Lu Dequan, who was still sleeping beside him, and said with difficulty:

"Zhou Rui, everyone said that you woke up after your senior year of high school and started studying hard. In fact... I woke up too, and I know that I am different from you."

Zhou Rui said in a deep voice: "I'll lend you the money."

Lu Xubo shouted: "I don't need it! Is it a matter of money? Do you think my life is so bad just because of money?"

He pointed at Lu Dequan and said: "This man! As long as this man doesn't wake up for a day, this family will never get better!"

Zhou Rui asked back: "Then if you work at Brother Tai's place, your dad will wake up!?"

He clearly remembered that Lu Xubo might have been imprisoned because of "Brother Tai" in his previous life. Xintai Auto Repair was really not a good place to go.

Lu Xubo smiled bitterly and said: "I have checked. My dad is suffering from a disease. What kind of benzodiazepines can he take to treat it? At least it can suppress it, but it is difficult to get this kind of medicine in China now. Brother Tai has smuggled it.

Way to smuggle illegal car parts from Hong Kong Island, I need Brother Tai’s help to get those medicines..."

Zhou Rui was stunned and speechless for a moment.

The quagmire of life is never a single thing that is "not going well".

But one ring within another.

For Lu Xubo, all the rings originated from Lu Dequan, and all the rings eventually ended up around his neck.

Lu Xubo chose to stand up his collar, covering everything.

Both of them fell into silence.

The night stall owner paused for a moment while skillfully grabbing the condiments.

Then I started baking more seriously.

All that was left inside the bridge was the sizzling sound of grease.

A dirt truck roared past, disturbing the tranquility in the bridge tunnel, and the few people at the night stall seemed to be awakened.

"Boss, it was meat just now, these are vegetarian skewers!"

The stall owner placed new skewers in front of the two of them.

Lu Xubo stood up directly: "No, Zhou Rui, I'm leaving. Thank you today."

As he said that, he restrained Lu Dequan arrogantly.

Lu Dequan was already a little fat, but someone who had completely slept to death was even heavier. Lu Xubo's whole body was trembling, and he was only supported by his brute force.

Zhou Rui hurried to help, but Lu Dequan actually sobered up a bit during all this tossing.

"Xu Bo...Xu Bo? Where are we going?"

Lu Xubo bowed his waist and whispered: "Go home."

The night stall owner held the skewers and cast a questioning look at Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui said to him: "You can go, the money has been paid."

Then I chased after him.

Zhou Rui tried to help Lu Xubo.

But he found that he was pinned down by Lu Dequan, making Zhou Rui unable to do anything.

The next day.

The position belonging to Lu Xubo was completely vacant. The bad student who slept from morning to night did not come to school again.

Guo Sheng was obviously more comfortable than usual. The deskmate he was afraid of was not here.

The teacher looked at the empty seat and recalled who was working there. When he remembered that it was Lu Xubo, he felt relieved.

Every year in the senior year of high school, there are students who give up completely before the college entrance examination.

And if it was Lu Xubo, they would not be surprised.

The school continues to operate, and the students are still working hard and nervous.

Nothing will happen if one person is missing.

"Zhou Rui, you wrote two solutions to this big question during the exam. Please tell us your thoughts."

Zhou Rui withdrew his gaze.

There is no shirk, he is now equivalent to half a teacher in Class 7.

Holding the paper, under the attention of everyone, I walked up to the podium.

During the lunch break, while Han Ziyin was away, Tong Xin nervously walked to Zhou Rui's desk holding her notebook and said, "Zhou Rui, I have a question that I can't solve. Can you help me?"

Zhou Rui pulled away from his thoughts, glanced at Tong Xin, then shook his head and said: "Next time, I have something to do."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Tong Xin's eyes, but she still left with the wrong question book in her arms.

Zhou Rui took out his IBM laptop from his schoolbag, put it on his lap, and opened the web page.

He applied for a wireless network card, which is quite expensive.

Half an hour later, he finally figured out what benzodiazepines were.

This is a general term for a class of drugs, named after their chemical components.

Midazolam, estazolam, alprazolam...all are names unfamiliar to Zhou Rui.

At the same time, this type of drug is mainly used to treat depression. It belongs to a group of tranquilizers and also has a certain inhibitory effect on alcoholics.

In 2009, depression was not a disease that could be seen everywhere on the Internet. It was impossible to obtain such a thing in Qinghe County. Even in big cities, there were strict management methods, and it was by no means something that could be easily bought, because this kind of medicine

It is addictive in itself.

The most important thing is... these are not a specific medicine that works, but need to be taken for a long time, and the patient needs to have strong self-discipline and willingness to cooperate with the treatment.

With the social aspects that Lu Xubo has access to, perhaps only "Brother Tai" can help him.

After closing the computer, the unique sound attracted the attention of the surrounding students. Laptops are an absolutely new thing in high schools in small counties, but Zhou Rui is now a completely special being in the class, and everyone is not too surprised.

Exception.

Zhou Rui closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, feeling a little hesitant.

It is not difficult to lend a helping hand to a friend within one's ability, and the helper will also feel happy.

An act of kindness, support, and encouragement are all easy.

But when they find that the other party's troubles are more complicated than imagined, and when the time and energy consumption will be far greater than expected, everyone will hesitate.

Everything that happened last night was just a piece of cake for Zhou Ruilai.

But...will you continue to intervene in the future?

Frankly speaking, he has no obligation to do anything.

Even if you turn a blind eye, no one can say anything.

Including Lu Xubo.
