Chapter 69: House Arrest
The police had planned to detain me, but when they heard that I had sleepwalking, they suspended my operation and asked me to provide a hospital certificate.
The hospital's certificate was issued by Xinya to help me find the doctor I saw last time, and it almost didn't come out. Xinya also has no experience, and when the doctor was writing the certificate, Xinya curiously asked the question asked by the police: "Doctor, is he unconscious when sleepwalking, why can't he wake up even if his bones are broken?"
Xinya later told me that the doctor seemed to react suddenly when she asked this, and immediately stopped writing and hesitated: "When you say this, this certificate can't be opened, and I'm a little unsure." ”
As soon as she heard this, Xinya regretted not falling in her heart, hating herself for talking too much. Fortunately, Xinya reacted quickly, and immediately remembered the experience of the Frenchman who sleepwalked for more than 20 years before waking up after getting married and having children last time the doctor said: "Doctor, I'm just curious." You're an expert, and you're certainly right, and we trust you. The Frenchman you mentioned last time had been sleepwalking for more than 20 years, and it is impossible that he has not quarreled with anyone, fallen and frightened or something, and has not woken up yet?"
No one wants to punch themselves in the mouth, and doctors are no exception.
I provided a certificate from the hospital, as well as the contact information of the hospital and the doctor, and it is unknown whether the police went to the hospital to investigate, and it is a fact that I was not detained for this.
It is said that after the other party heard about the situation, he did not pursue it anymore, mainly because the car was still there, and it was not damaged, and I gave the other party's medical expenses, and gave some compensation in the name of nutrition expenses.
My face was swollen, my arms were bandaged, and I hadn't been to the company for more than a week. But this matter still did not hide from Wenwen and Guimei.
It's embarrassing and interesting to think about.
Xinya, Wenwen and Guimei originally had their own thoughts, but when I was "in trouble", the three of them were unprecedentedly unanimous, united, worried and cared for unanimous, and unanimous pity and sympathy.
First of all, Xinya told Wenwen and Guimei about it almost immediately.
"Besides, my intention is to hope that when they find out, they will avoid causing you any more mental and psychological stress, otherwise your sleepwalking syndrome will get worse and worse. That's when I asked her why she told Wenwen and Gui Mei about it, Xinya's answer.
Wenwen found a time to get off work, and with a big belly, she went to visit me at home with Xinya after work.
Good intentions really don't necessarily lead to good deeds. I don't understand what Xinya thinks.
I made Wenwen's belly bigger because of sleepwalking, I was already embarrassed, I didn't know how to face it, and now Wenwen's concerned eyes made me dare not look directly, and the heartache expression made me panic, especially when I saw that Wenwen once had the urge to try to touch the swollen place on my face with her hand, I could only choose to find an excuse to quickly dodge.
Interestingly, that night, Xinya, Wenwen and I had dinner together like a family, and Xinya also discussed with Wenwen about the child in the womb, but fortunately they didn't mention anything about the origin of the child.
Gui Mei found work hours, and in her words, she secretly went to see me.
Gui Mei has always scoffed at my sleepwalking, and when Xinya and Wenwen have always taken this disease very seriously, Gui Mei is actually in a lively state of mind. However, I don't know why today, Gui Mei, like Wenwen and Xinya, looked very sad and worried, and the disapproving expression on her face was completely replaced by gloom.
"Why, do you believe I'm a sleepwalker now?"
Gui Mei shook her head, looked at my face, then at my bandaged arm, and whispered, "Why are these people so heavy!"
Gui Mei sat with me for about an hour, but she didn't talk much, let alone laugh, and the most she did was look at me, at the place where I was hurt.
"What's the matter, you have a mind?"
After asking, I felt that it was inappropriate, Gui Mei originally had that meaning to me, if I hooked up her words, or hooked her courage, it may not be her who can't get off the stage in the end, it may be me.
Gui Mei just shook her head in a low mood and said, "You have a good rest, I'm leaving." ”
Still didn't understand what happened to Guimei, so she replied blankly: "Well, okay." ”
"By the way," Gui Mei turned back as she was about to go out, "Did you find that sword?"
Gui Mei didn't mention it, I almost forgot.
Since the last time Gui Mei took the wooden sword and made a circle in the room, she hadn't seen the sword since. One day, when she stumbled upon the sword that was not on the door, she called Gui Mei to ask Gui Mei, and she was silent on the other end of the phone for a while and said that she had forgotten where to put it.
"No, I don't. I don't know where you put it after you finished playing last time. ”
Gui Mei stood at the door, as if she was very entangled in whether to come in or go out, and finally said, "I'll help you find it when I'm free." ”
At the dinner table in the evening, I asked Xinya if Guimei had encountered anything recently, and Xinya said: "I don't know, but she has been very depressed these days, and there are still some bruises on her neck, I suspect that someone is still bullying her." ”
When Gui Mei came to see me, she kept her head half-bowed, and I didn't pay much attention to her neck.
"Are you saying that she might have been pinched?" I couldn't sit still, Gui Mei had no relatives and no friends in this city after all, if someone bullied her like this, as employees of the company, we can't watch it cold-bloodedly.
"I guess, I asked her, but she just wouldn't say who it was. Or you should find a chance to talk to her, she should trust you more. ”
I complained a little bit about Xinya in my heart, why didn't I tell me earlier, or Guimei could have talked to her when she came to see me.
======
After the bruises on my face receded, the first thing I thought about was to go to the orphanage that the old lady had spoken of and to see her granddaughter for her.
When I actually found her granddaughter, I realized that what I had promised at that time was not so easy to do.
I was over there at the time, and I belonged to the same world as the old lady, but her granddaughter was from another world, yin and yang.
"I'm a distant relative of yours, and I know your grandmother. "I had to talk to her as a normal person in the yang world, and of course the aunt in the orphanage, and if I said that her grandmother asked me to come and see her, I was afraid of scaring the child half to death.
"Your grandmother once entrusted me with letting me help take care of you if she was gone, but your grandmother wrote it in the letter, and I only found out recently. Sorry for being late. "I found that I didn't need a single word of the old lady's explanation.
I left some food and play for her, measured my general height, shortness, fat and thinness with my naked eye, said a few words of advice, and left.
But when she would be able to report the sight of the old lady's granddaughter to the old lady became an unknown, and Xinya stared too closely at me, and wanted to forcibly sleep in the same bed with me to prevent me from running around at night.
Xinya's care is one thing, and I do feel that there are a lot of doubts myself.
Why did this sleepwalking happen again on the night I went there?
Am I really a sleepwalker?
If I did sleepwalk, my soul was detached from my body, then wouldn't I be sleepwalking a zombie, how could I still do those things?
But not only the video provided by the police, but also the surveillance cameras inside and outside the door of the house also clearly recorded my entry and exit, and it seemed that I could not distinguish between them, so I could only obediently listen to Xinya's mercy, take me to this hospital for consultation today, and secretly find other channels to ask for home remedies tomorrow.
Where to go during the day, Xinya doesn't interfere much, she has to be at home at night, if she must go out, in her words, she has to go with her to death, and after 10 at night, she locks the door from the inside with the key, and then hides the key, which is no different from house arrest.
