Chapter 12 The shadow is lonely and difficult to wake up, and there are new friends in the world
Ouyang Shu took the magnolia to the hundred-year-old camphor tree.
The landscape in the distance flashed neon, and the shadows cast by the camphor trees on the ground also flickered magically.
Unlike the hundred-year-old trees that Magnolia imagined that required several people to surround them, the camphor has a small trunk but a lush crown of foliage like the height of summer. Placed underneath, the whole body is shrouded in a thick incense mist, and there is a sense of tranquility and tranquility.
Is it an emotion that can never be forgotten? Why is it this tree language? Maybe it's because of the fragrance and unforgettable aftertaste.
The experience of standing under a tree at night, Magnolia is all too familiar. Light and joy always belong to the distance, but there is darkness and loneliness around her. However, every time she wanders under the tree at night, she can come back to life as if she is charged, because only in the dark, she cannot see the sorrow of her relatives, the pity of passers-by, the sharp blade of the enemy, and only when she is alone in the dark, she dares to open her arms and reach out to touch the firmness and toughness of the tree, like a mountain, so down-to-earth and can be relied on. Then she will stand herself as a tree, her feet rooted, her head upward, infinitely stretched, and her whole body will be filled with fighting spirit and strength again.
Magnolia stood straight under the camphor tree, her vague figure blending in with the shadow of the tree. The fragrance of the camphor tree gave her heart a different tenderness and joy than before. How many joys, sorrows, and worries have you recorded with your "article"?
Ouyang Shu was attracted by Magnolia's solemn expression, at this moment, this girl's face has maturity and tenacity that does not match her age, what kind of cruel experience can make her calm and calm in such a flowery age, which makes people feel pity? ”
One sentence woke Magnolia from loneliness, but she was still a little stunned, she was not used to having someone stand side by side with her under the tree at night, and she was not used to someone talking to her under the tree in the dark night.
Ouyang Shu didn't mind Magnolia's non-response, "It's cold at night, let's have a cup of hot tea in the house." ”
The two of them came to the lounge, which was the room where Yang Zishan and Ouyang Shu had stayed. The same dim, the same faintly lit windows.
Ouyang Shu turned on the light and skillfully used the electric kettle to catch and boil water. Magnolia picked up the water cup and washed it under the faucet.
The door opened, and Liu Hao, a senior engineer in the technical department, stretched out his body and called out loudly: "Ouyang, are you here?" There is a change, the color has changed, this time the direction must be right, you come on, try the new reagent again!"
Ouyang Shu pointed to the location of the tea leaves to Magnolia, turned around and followed the young man and left quickly.
Magnolia poured the tea, set the teacups, and walked slowly to the window. Looking at the two camphor trees from the window here, I feel different. The room was warm and bright, but the camphor tree outside the window was standing alone in black, the night was condensed, and it was impossible to smell the fragrance, and the gloomy shadows of the trees kept pressing and pressing, so heavy that the magnolia could not breathe. She felt as if she was hunched over and carrying a heavy burden, struggling to move through the fallen leaves in the dappled shadows of the lamps and the gloomy shadows of the trees.
Oh, the fallen leaves. Just now, Ouyang Shu said that camphor is to shake off the aging leaves in spring to cope with the scorching heat and cold winter. Is it time to shake off those burdens and welcome the new season?
Magnolia shook her shoulders vigorously, as if she was shaking off the weight of her body, and the feeling of relief made her heart empty.
Suddenly, there was a more and more harsh noise, like the sound of a tractor starting, no, now it is louder than the tractor starting, I don't know how many times, and then I feel that the windows, the glass, the tea table, the sofa, the camphor tree outside, it should be the whole world screaming. Magnolia covered her ears with her hands, closed her eyes hard, opened them again, closed them again, opened them again, and she felt that she had been torn into countless filaments by this voice, and everything in the room, including the air, had also turned into filaments, fluttering, spinning and flying in the air like silk......
Suddenly, everything fell silent. Magnolia found herself motionless, still standing quietly in front of the window, and everything in the room was the same as before, as if nothing had happened just now. She really wanted to ask Ouyang Shu what happened just now, and she was afraid that it would be something wrong with her body that caused her mishearing and dizziness.
Magnolia opened the door and came to the corridor, and saw the door of the laboratory open, and a person ran out of it, the running posture was very strange, the range of movement was small, but the speed was fast, and it came to the front in an instant.
This is a man in a suit, dressed very strangely, carrying a backpack, and his face cannot be seen clearly, but he is about the size of Magnolia.
He put an emergency brake in front of Magnolia, stood still, and said in a slow voice, "You, Magnolia, yes, it's Magnolia." With that, he walked sideways around her and ran out of the gate.
"Quick, quick, find gauze!"
The door of the laboratory opened again, and Ouyang Shu and a young man rushed in with Liu Hao on the left and right, Liu Hao's wrist was tightly held by Ouyang Shu, and the blood flowed over his hand, dripping down quickly.
Seeing this, Magnolia reflexively opened the door to the lounge and let them in.
"Gauze, where's the gauze, is there any gauze?" the young man began to rummage through the drawers in a hurry.
Bai Magnolia calmly tore off a long strip of cotton trim on the sofa cover, quickly came to Liu Hao's side, and motioned Ouyang Shu to let go of his hand. At the moment when the blood gushed out, she quickly tied the cloth to Liu Hao's wrist with both hands, and then, holding down the bandage with one hand, taking off the head rope with the other, putting it on twice, fixing the bandage, and pinching the crook of his arm with her hand. The bleeding actually stopped.
Ouyang Shu said to the overwhelmed young man: "Let's take him to the hospital, you stay, everything stays in place, lock the door, and wait for me to come back." The young man nodded, helped them help Liu Hao into Ouyang Shu's car, and returned to the laboratory.
Along the way, Magnolia pinched the blood vessels in the boy's arm, occasionally letting go until he reached the hospital. When he came to the emergency room doctor, the doctor saw where she was pressing and said approvingly, "This young lady seems to have studied emergency care." ”
Ouyang Shu told the doctor that Liu Hao's wrist was cut by fragments of a broken test tube. The doctor gave him emergency treatment and gave him a drop-in for detoxification and blood replenishment. Ouyang Shu and the others had to wait in the corridor.
Magnolia's nursing knowledge is forced out, and her father often hurts herself, and she must help her mother take care of him. I don't know how many nights, she and her mother took her father to the emergency room, and his father took a drip in it, and she sat on a chair in the hallway to sleep, which has become a habit. Now she is asleep again, sitting.
When she woke up, she found Ouyang Shu sitting next to her, looking at her. She hurriedly stood up and asked, "That, how is Liu Gong?"
"It's okay, the doctor told me to stay in the hospital for observation, and we can go. ”
Bai Yulan found that she was wearing Ouyang Shu's suit, and hurriedly said thank you and handed him back the clothes. Ouyang Shu took the clothes, opened them, and said to her, "Put them on, it's cold at night." ”
Magnolia shook her head and said, "I'm fine." ”
Ouyang Shu stood there motionless, stubbornly holding up his clothes, like an enthusiastic salesman in a suit store.
Magnolia had no choice but to turn around and put her arm into her sleeve. Wearing fat suits, the two got in the car and walked out of the hospital.
Ouyang Shu was very silent along the way, and Magnolia had a lot of questions, but she didn't dare to disturb him.
In fact, Ouyang Shu also had a lot of questions in his heart. In the hospital, he called Bai Lang and told him about his adventure tonight. Experienced as Bai Lang, he is also confused, and he is unheard of. So he couldn't sleep anymore, and insisted on rushing to the scene immediately to investigate, Ouyang Shu asked him to wait a while, and made an appointment to meet at a location.
At this moment, Ouyang Shu's mind kept appearing the terrifying picture just now, who was the person who suddenly appeared out of thin air? What was the strange sharp sound in the laboratory? Although it was only a few tens of seconds, Ouyang Shu concluded that it was not like the sound made by any machine he knew, let alone any creature he knew, and that sound made people dizzy, unable to distinguish between north and south, and it was difficult to distinguish between east and west. As soon as the voice stopped, the man in the suit appeared. Could it be that the opponent has such an advanced instrument that can use sound to send people directly to his laboratory? That would be terrible! Ouyang Shu's physics is very ordinary, far less proficient than chemistry, he doesn't know what level physics has advanced to now, and the more he doesn't understand, the more afraid he becomes.
