Chapter 7: A Chaotic Timeline
Lin Zitan was pushed into the inpatient department of the hospital by the nurse, and arranged a double room for him, in which he was the only patient for the time being. The nurse helped him raise the bed, gave him two sets of hospital gowns, told him some precautions and left. The room fell silent for a moment, and there was a faint silence when a pin dropped.
"Ahem~ that. I'm hungry!" Lin Zitan hadn't eaten for two days from getting off the car the night before yesterday to jumping into the sea and being rescued, I don't know if this body originally had a small amount of food, and he only felt hungry at this time.
They had been tossing around at the hospital since the morning, and it was already past lunchtime. Li Manrui was probably still sad for the look her son had just given her, and she didn't think about eating for a while.
"Oh, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you. By the way, this place is close to Chinatown, do you want to eat Chinese food or something? In addition, I may not be able to accompany you 24 hours a day if you are hospitalized, you see what you need, I will buy it for you later... ”
ALTHOUGH LI MANRUI HAD ALREADY STOOD UP FROM THE CHAIR NEXT TO THE HOSPITAL BED WHILE SPEAKING IN ORDER TO HIDE HER NERVOUSNESS, THE HAND SHE WAS HOLDING THE PRADA BAG IN HER HAND WAS VERY UNNATURAL, AND HER FINGERTIPS UNCONSCIOUSLY RUBBED THE HANDLE, LOOKING LIKE SHE WANTED TO LEAVE QUICKLY. Lin Zitan found that she was always a little nervous and uncomfortable when she faced this rebellious son alone.
Lin Zitan thought that this place was not far from Chinatown, and he originally wanted to eat a bowl of dried oxtail noodles, but he didn't know why he opened his mouth and became: "Meat Sandwich Bun and Liangpier~"
"Uh, okay, I'll see where it's sold, I'll buy it now, you... If you need anything, call the nurse to help you~" Li Manrui said and walked to the door, but seemed to suddenly think of something, so he turned around and said, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
"Oh, no, you go quickly, I'm dying of hunger!" Lin Zitan was a little awkward, he didn't pay attention, and his tone of voice became impatient.
Li Manrui seemed to be used to seeing her son talking to her in this tone, so she didn't say anything more, grabbed her bag and walked out quickly.
"Huh~~" Lin Zitan really breathed a sigh of relief. From the morning to now, his body and his brain were in a state of high tension, and at this moment he was the only one left in the whole room, and he could finally relax. Although he is still a little uncomfortable with this new identity, at least he is still alive.
As long as he is alive, there is still hope like this, he doesn't know how many times he used to read books and watch TV and listen to them, but when this kind of thing comes to him, he always can't turn around.
Looking back now, if he hadn't thought so much about it last night, if he hadn't wandered outside in the middle of the night, he would just beg the domestic snakehead to go back to work hard, and save enough money to pay off his debts as soon as possible, and he would not be really desperate in the days to come.
"Well, if you come here, you will be safe! Maybe God sees me as pitiful, and wants to give me a good path to live! At least now I don't have to worry about my identity anymore.
Alas, no, if I come here, it means that Lin Guodong is dead, then what will happen to my parents in my country? Will those snakeheads let them go?。。。 Probably will, after all, people are dead!"
Thinking of this, he suddenly became uncomfortable again, thinking that the parents in the country were looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that their son would make a lot of money and have an interest, but he lost his life before the debt was paid, alas, !! sadness surrounded him like air, making his heart ache for a while and he couldn't breathe.
After Li Manrui walked out of the ward, she finally slowed down, returned to her usual elegance and dignity, and went out to wave a taxi.
"The eldest sister is from the north, right?" the driver couldn't help but say enthusiastically when he heard that she wanted to buy meat sandwich buns.
"Well, sort of!" Li Manrui replied nonchalantly, she had something on her mind, and she was not in the mood to talk at all at the moment.
The driver didn't want to say much when he saw this beautiful woman, so he also shut up, only dared to sneak a glance at the woman in the rearview mirror, and drove all the way to find a place that sold northern snacks.
Downtown Hospital is really close to Chinatown, but because the streets of New York are divided into one-way streets, plus waiting for traffic lights or something, it takes nearly 15 minutes to get to Bell Street in Chinatown.
"The eldest sister has arrived, just in front, there is a northern snack, you go and see if there is anything you want to buy!" The driver saw that this woman was dressed in gold and arrogant, thinking that it was different from ordinary people like them, so he wanted to climb a fellow countryman to get close, and people didn't give him face, so he hastily pointed to the way, collected the fare and drove away.
Lin Zitan lay on the hospital bed alone for a while before he slowly calmed himself down again. Lying on the hospital bed, I couldn't move, I didn't have a mobile phone in my hand, and my ankles were fixed and it was inconvenient to move, and I felt upset again after a while.
He didn't know how many days he had to stay in the hospital, and he didn't know if Li Manrui could think of getting him a mobile phone first, the days of this hospitalization were quite difficult, especially a little person who was busy like a spinning top every day, suddenly stopped and leisurely enjoyed life, and he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
I raised my hand and pressed the button to call the nurse, who told her that I wanted to watch the TV hanging on the opposite wall. It's boring anyway, so let's just pass the time first.
Before turning on the TV with the remote control, I couldn't help but complain again about the backward facilities of this hospital, what age is this TV is still the kind of heavy body like the first generation of computers, I feel that the hospital in the United States is just like that, far from being as good as imagined!
It's just that when he saw the news being broadcast on TV, he suddenly had a particularly strange feeling. Because it is broadcasting information about the winning of the Lotto Mega on July 18th, the day before, as well as an interview with the only jackpot winner.
But he remembered that the prize had been drawn on July 19, and the prize money at that time was 20 million, not 12 million as stated on TV, and the reason why he knew so well was because there was a chef in the restaurant who particularly liked to buy lottery tickets, and that person instilled in him a lot of lottery knowledge.
He is well aware that the prize is drawn every Tuesday and Friday at 8 p.m. And the time when he was thrown into the sea was in the early morning of Monday, July 22, usually such news will not be hyped for several days, is it because he has a problem with his own brain, or is there a lag in this TV show?
With this kind of question, Lin Zi kept switching several channels, but his doubts became bigger and bigger, and in order to confirm this, he quickly rang the nurse's help bell again.
A few minutes later, a black nurse came in and asked him what else he needed with an unhappy face? Lin Zitan opened his mouth and said in English: May I ask what day is today?
“July 19th.” The nurse looked at him strangely and replied with a frown.
"What year do I mean?" Lin Zi asked again apologetically.
"What? Aren't you also injured in the brain? Today is July 19th, 03 AD!"
"Oh, by the way, your CT results are not out yet, I hope the doctor can help you more after reading the results. Is there anything else you need help with?" the nurse continued, as if she had made up something on her own, with great compassion.
"Oh, no, thank you very much!" Lin Zitan understood that the nurse must have felt that there was something wrong with his brain! Because even he himself felt that there was something wrong with his brain, and since he woke up in the morning, his brain has endured too much incredible!
I finally let myself accept rebirth and time travel, and now I tell him that he has even set back time for 10 years, what does this mean by God? What about 10 years later? Will he die again after 10 years? Lin Zitan suddenly began to be angry and frightened by this chaotic timeline of God turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain!
"10 years, what if he really only has 10 years to live?" The heart that originally wanted to live in the courtyard for a few days suddenly became urgent, and he was afraid that his time would not be enough!
