Chapter Twenty-Seven: Escaped
When I regained consciousness, I only felt soreness all over my body, especially the back of my hand that had been scratched by the dagger at that time, and I felt like I had been sprinkled with salt. When I opened my eyes, Zhao Lei was napping by my bedside.
When I saw the hands of the dial facing my bed, I realized it was late at night. And I also woke up in a strange environment. It's not like it's in a hospital, there is no smell of disinfectant in the air, and it's not like a guesthouse, hotel, and the layout and furnishings are not so high-end.
I still had a needle stuck in the back of my left hand, and a long, thin, transparent plastic tube containing a crimson, viscous liquid. I only feel numb when I move my fingers slightly.
Where is this? I turned over lightly, but Zhao Lei was still awakened by my movements. "Huh? Are you awake? Zhao Lei raised his hand and rubbed his sleepy eyes, and when he accidentally touched the wound on the back of his hand, he also "hissed".
I just thought of the last scene I saw before I passed out, it was Zhao Lei holding a dagger and preparing to fulfill Zhao's father's wish and cut off his left hand. "Are your hands alright?" I hurriedly pulled his hand to check, the thick gauze wrapped around his wound, and a faint hint of reddish could still be seen, but fortunately, his hand was still there.
And compared to him, my hands don't seem much better. Looking at the hand drum that was also wrapped in gauze was bigger than Zhao Lei, and there were no blood stains on the surface, but I still trembled when I thought of the blood it pulled from my body.
"My hands are fine!" Zhao Lei shook his hand casually, "The doctor said that you have lost too much blood, just transfuse some blood." Zhao Lei said as he held my hand and put it to his mouth, "Let's go!" With a sound, it kissed my exposed two fingers.
Looking at him, it is also easy, and Zhao Lei, who was angry and round-eyed a few hours ago, eager to peel off Zhao's father's bones, is simply two people, and he can still see a trace of pride in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Where am I? What did your dad say? Or are you going to force us? What's wrong with the injury on your hand? Does it matter? "The person who gave me blood must have been a chatter, and with his blood, even I blabla a few questions as clearly as saying a tongue twister.
Seeing that I was still very nervous, Zhao Lei also stretched out his hand to my frowning brow, stretching left and right, "It's okay, you are in my bedroom now." Originally, he stayed in the hospital well, but he said that it would break his face, so he still carried you back. ”
I glanced sideways at the door, the door seemed to be locked tightly, but when I thought that I and Zhao Lei were in the tiger's den, I became even more nervous, and my breathing unconsciously increased the frequency. "Calm down! Don't worry, just pant first, I'll tell you slowly. ”
Zhao Lei followed the example of a mother coaxing a child, raised the corners of his eyes and opened his mouth slightly at the same time, making breathing movements.
"Wow!" Someone was knocking on the door, and the breathing that was finally adjusted by Zhao Lei just now had to be hurried again. The light outside the door was much brighter than inside the house, and the shadows that came through the cracks under the door were also very visible.
It's a man's foot! There's also a slender thing next to it... This person is Zhao Lei's father!
Zhao Lei was happy just now, but when he heard the sound of the door opening, he also changed his face like me. To be precise, he deliberately changed his face, lowered his brows, and closed his mouth. After standing up, I tidied up my messy clothes a little and went to open the door.
"Don't go!" I lowered my voice and said, for fear that Father Zhao would hear it. He patted the back of my hand comfortingly and left the bedside. It was a safe touch, only two taps, but with a special feeling.
"Click!" Seeing that the doorknob was pressed down by Zhao Lei, and the mechanism of the door lock also made a crisp sound, I straightened my nerves and waited to greet the person outside the door.
The bright light hit his face, and he seemed to be more majestic than in the day, and the gray hair on his head seemed to be much less. I don't know if it was too far away, or whatever, the crutch didn't look like an object to support his weight, but a representation of his power.
"He's awake?" Father Zhao asked coldly, squinting at me with the same eyes as during the day, disdain and contempt, unchanged at all.
"Wake up." Zhao Lei also replied to him with the same attitude, in order to show his contempt for Zhao's father, he also focused his eyes on the floor, and even Yu Guang was stingy with him.
Father Zhao didn't ask any more questions, and when he turned around to leave, he suddenly glanced at Zhao Lei's hand, and then remembered that there was still something to finish, "It's time to change the medicine, and I'll go downstairs to change the medicine in a while." After saying that, he simply left the door and disappeared from my sight.
Not long after, when there was a sound of closing the door, Zhao Lei also exhaled relaxedly, and then closed the door as well. "It's okay, are you hungry? Would you like to make you something to eat? ”
Zhao Lei's face became really fast, and the tone of what he was talking to Father Zhao just now was still numb, and in the blink of an eye, it was a thousand kinds of style. When I walked, my steps were brisker.
"Don't be in a hurry, come and tell me what's going on." I swallowed my saliva and moistened my dry throat.
Zhao Lei's observation is also agile, and when he realized that my mouth was a little dry, he also helped me unscrew the mineral water on the bedside table. "Okay, I'll tell you about it."
When he spoke, I could feel his secret joy, and when he opened his mouth, the excitement was revealed. "At that time, you lost so much blood that you fainted, and I didn't realize it until I put the knife in my hand, and then I quickly threw the knife to see you. My dad also hurriedly asked someone to take the medicine box to look at my wounds..."Zhao Lei paused.
"And then?" I asked, stopping to drink water.
"Then, ah, I'll say that if something happens to you, don't talk about your hands, I don't want my life." As he spoke, he also shook his bandaged hand to the side, "Maybe he found out with his conscience, so he called you to the hospital, and only after you had stitches on your hand did I agree to treat my wounds." ”
"Is the mouth deep? Didn't touch the bones? "I put down the bottle and hurried to see the injury on his hand." Oh, it's okay, it's all a small injury, I don't have a deep piercing, it's just flesh and skin. He replied lightly.
"You're stupid! If he asks you to cut it, you really cut it! I pushed his eyebrows with my index finger and reprimanded, "You won't say you don't want me anymore, he won't be able to control you when you go to school anyway, and we will be together again then." ”
His smirk's expression just now stiffened, "Originally, he was sorry for me, I know that he will definitely not let me really cut, if I do, he owes me more." Zhao Lei raised his hand and looked at it repeatedly, "Besides, a small dagger, how can it be possible to cut off a hand?" He was just tempting me. ”
Hearing him say this, I was even more annoyed, and simply slapped him on the head, "More stupid! I knew it was a test for you, but you really did it! Just pretend! ”
Seeing that I was nervous, Zhao Lei smiled even more happily, and his open mouth couldn't be closed, "If you can change the two of us together, this little injury is worth it!" ”
It was only after he reminded me of the most important thing. "You put him... Agree that we're together? ”
"No," Zhao Lei replied indifferently, "He said that as long as I am with you, he will still drive me out of the house." He fiddled with the gauze in his hand and continued, "Let's go, as long as I can be with you!" ”
Sometimes looking at Zhao Lei, he really looks like a child. It's just a brain, and he answers quickly to any choice of one or the other, although the results are sometimes unsatisfactory, he is happy to accept it, and the sunny smiling face has never appeared dark clouds.
The Zhao family's parents used to treat him harshly, and the relationship between them was almost worn out by this incident. I used to want Zhao Lei to leave this home, but when he really wanted to leave and really cut off relations with his parents, I was really a little weird in my heart, "I can't give you anything, I'm older than you, my body is not very clean, and my appearance is not good..."
"Oops!" Before I could count myself worthless, Zhao Lei interrupted me, "In my eyes, you are the best." I still want you not to dislike me. ”
"Huh?" I was a little surprised to hear him say that. "I don't have any money in the future, my car is gone, I don't have anything. I can't take you to French food, I can't take you on a trip, I'm really a poor boy! Zhao Lei also made fun of himself, but it sounded a little awkward.
"It's okay, we can earn no money." I stretched out my hand to Zhao Lei, and he quickly caught it, and the temperature of my palm also spread along my hand to my heart, like a warm current, warm from head to toe.
"I'm hungry, I'll cook for you. He only let us stay temporarily, and we still have to do everything ourselves... Alas! "I'm used to the life of the eldest young master, and I suddenly want to do it myself, and Zhao Lei is a little unaccustomed to it. But he only complained twice, and then ran out of the door again.
I always feel that there is still something to be done, when I take out my phone as usual, I find that the phone has been turned off, and there are still dozens of text messages and missed calls after turning it on, reminding me that something has not been done.
The content of each text message is relatively similar, it was sent by Wu Yao, asking where we were, why we didn't answer the phone, and if something was wrong. Looking at the text messages, I suddenly felt sorry for Wu Yao...
"Duh... I dialed Wu Yao's phone, it was already late at night, I don't know if Wu Yao slept...
"Hello? Rui Rui? Where? As soon as the phone was connected, I heard Wu Yao firing a problem shell like a machine gun, which made me dizzy, "Didn't you say you came back today?" I didn't wait for you at the airport, did I change flights? ”
"We'll go back a few days later, there's something going on these days." I looked at the bottle of blood that was almost out of the bottle and said...
