Chapter Ninety-Seven: On the Road
Just like Xu Yiwen said before, I spent almost all of the next month or so in bed, and I couldn't get out of bed for the first few days, like a paralyzed patient, not to mention the pain.
It's just that during this time, I also have a little understanding of the current situation, for example, I was kidnapped from Chen Wei's home, and then I don't know how I met Xu Yiwen, and then he begged those people to spare my life, and finally took me out of there, drove for half a day to this town, and had to stop in order to treat my life-threatening injuries at that time.
The overall story is strung together and seems dry and unbelievable.
But this is all the information that Xu Yiwen revealed to me.
He didn't answer the rest the day after I woke up.
I don't know why I always feel that the whole thing is not like Xu Yiwen said at all, he seems to be hiding some important information from me, or maybe everything he says is lying to me at all.
But every time I thought about it, I turned my head and saw Xu Yiwen, who was thin but still busy for my lunch in the only small kitchen next to me, and then I couldn't bear to speculate any further.
I knew for myself, subconsciously, that I had chosen to doubt him. But he is the only partner who is dependent on me at the moment, and the only partner who has not given up on me who is seriously injured, I can doubt him, but I can't doubt him all the time.
As for what he said about Chen Wei's death, I don't know if everyone believes in the sixth sense, my sixth sense strongly informs me that Chen Wei is absolutely fine.
God also favored me and Xu Yiwen, although the sanitary conditions of this small clinic are completely substandard, and it looks like a place where desperately avoiding the health inspection agency barely survives, but there is a small kitchen, which has some rice noodles and bacon left by the previous owner's family, which is enough for the two of us to barely eat for more than a month. (.advertisement)
I don't know what this glucose thing is for, in short, I have been taking this drip every day for the first half a month, Xu Yiwen is not very good at needles, and the backs of my two hands are already full of wounds.
Probably because of guilt, every time I eat, he doesn't let me do it myself, it's all fed by him, I feel embarrassed and embarrassed at first, but then I gradually get used to it.
Every two or three days, Xu Yiwen had to change the dressing and disinfect my wound, and at the beginning, Xu Yiwen was not allowed to look at it every time I changed the dressing, and then I took advantage of his inattention to secretly look at it, and immediately my face turned white with fright.
A deep and wide blood hole in the lower left corner of the abdomen looks shocking, it has been stitched almost together, I don't know if it was sewn by Xu Yiwen, in short, the swollen skin and flesh around it look extraordinarily oozing.
More than a month later, the swelling has subsided, and the wound is not as scary as it looked before, probably because of the relatively young age, the wound grows quickly, on the first day of being able to go to the ground, I forced Xu Yiwen to boil a pot of boiling water, and simply rubbed his body with cold water.
I haven't had a shower for more than a month, and for me, it's not much better than dying.
The water here is all well water, probably because the clinic has a water tank, and there is some water stored in it, Xu Yiwen used to save money for cooking, but this time I took a shower and the two of us fell into an embarrassing situation of lack of water after a week.
That night, Xu Yiwen turned the clinic inside and out, took all the medicines he could use and put them in his pocket, and then told me that he had to leave the next day.
There is nothing to eat here, and although my injuries are not completely healed, at least I can walk on my own, but not very quickly, and it will take at least three or four months to get completely better.
We don't have that many resources to get enough rations to make it to that point.
Moreover, I really don't like this simple and dirty little clinic, and leaving quickly is the most dreamed thing for me in the past month or so.
As a result, the night before the two of us were ready to leave, I began to have a headache and dizziness, and when I took my temperature, it turned out to be 40 degrees.
Xu Yiwen examined the wound with an ugly face, and after making sure that it had begun to be slightly inflamed, he finally couldn't help yelling at me: "You don't listen to anything!" What rotten bath you have to take! Now it's good! Feverish! It's inflamed! You won't be willing if you don't toss yourself to death, will you?! ”
I was already drowsy because of a high fever, and no matter how Xu Yiwen yelled, I couldn't listen to my thoughts at all.
Lying on the bed with my eyes squinted, I felt as if I was going to be completely plunged into endless darkness in the next second.
Is that death?
I thought tiredly, my eyes could barely be opened, but I felt so sleepy that I wanted to close my eyes and get a good night's sleep.
If you can die with your eyes closed, it may feel good to die.
The next half month should be the darkest time in Xu Yiwen's life, and it should also be the time when I slept the most.
I only remember a few images when I opened my eyes, and I don't remember anything else about what happened.
All I know is that at the beginning it was in a car, the weather outside was very good, and the light through the glass window was just enough to shine on the face, and the car vibrated slightly, it should be driving.
I was wrapped in a soft blanket, different from the stinky quilt I had in the clinic before.
When I opened my eyes again, I didn't know that a few days later, at night, this time it was in a house, it seemed to be a hospital, and it didn't seem to be it, and I couldn't see anything in the dark.
When I woke up completely, I was still in the car, my eyes open, I felt fine, and I knew I was hungry.
I lay in the back seat, wrapped in a red blanket, and after staring out the window for a while, I struggled to get up and sit upright.
Xu Yiwen, who was driving in front of me, didn't seem to notice my movements.
Still staring intently ahead, his face could just be seen in the rearview mirror, his face was full of exhaustion, his beard had grown long, and his hair was very messy.
Licking my lips, I spoke to Xu Yiwen in a dry voice: "Xu Yiwen." ”
As if he didn't expect to hear a human voice suddenly, his frightened body shook violently, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered to look up and look in the rearview mirror.
I pursed my lips and smiled at his eyes: "Don't you know me?" ”
In the next few seconds, Xu Yiwen's expression can be said to be unpredictable, and I can't tell whether he wants to cry or laugh at all.
Finally, with a hard sniff, he parked the car in the middle of the road, got out of the car reflexively, ran to the side, covered his face and squatted on the ground and cried loudly.
I didn't expect to open my eyes and see Xu Yiwen, a big man, crying like a child.
Looking at Xu Yiwen's emaciated figure squatting on the road with some distress, I wanted to get out of the car to comfort him, but I had no strength because my body was heavy.
Fortunately, our car seemed to be on a very remote section of the road, and on both sides of the road there was an endless field as far as the eye could see, except for weeds, and there was not even a trace of houses or people.
Of course, what you see at this time can't be a human figure, it can only be a walking corpse.
A gust of wind blew, and the grass hung down to the side of the endless field on the side of the road, making a rustling sound, which was refreshing with the sunny weather.
When Xu Yiwen returned to the car again, he directly opened the door of the back seat, and hugged me silently after rushing in.
His strength is very strong, I was stunned for a moment, then pursed my lips and laughed, and hugged Xu Yiwen with my backhand, if it wasn't for the voice that I couldn't speak, I would definitely say thank you to him at this time.
Probably finally relieved the situation, Xu Yiwen took out a thermos cup from the trunk, opened it and handed it to me.
took two sips, Xu Yiwen wiped his face on the side, and said softly in a very nasal voice: "Drink slowly, it's hard to find things that haven't expired, and it's also a bad luck for me to be able to touch this bag." ”
looked at Xu Yiwen gratefully, his throat was moistened by soy milk, and he still said hoarsely: "Xu Yiwen, thank you." ”
didn't answer me, Xu Yiwen went to the trunk and took out a pack of compressed biscuits, and an alcohol stove, set it up next to the car, used a large box to block the surroundings, skillfully lit the alcohol stove, poured some water into it, opened the compressed biscuits, and cooked a big bowl of biscuit paste in a short time.
It doesn't look like it's very tasty.
But Xu Yiwen brought it to me, and said with a twinkle in his eyes: "If you are hungry, just barely eat, I can only find this." When I woke up, I finally couldn't help but have a sour nose and tears falling out.
took the bowl of biscuit paste, and while Xu Yiwen was cleaning up, I didn't care if it was hot or not, and swallowed it in my mouth.
Xu Yiwen, I don't know how to thank you.
