Chapter 54: The Return

"Uh-huh!"

With a huge, rapid deep breath, Baizhu's eyes widened and he woke up in bed.

His eyes involuntarily turned a few times, and because they were too intense, he still couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, and his eyes were dazzling for a moment. His hand spasmed a few times, and he grabbed the sheet meaninglessly—he seemed to have come to life from a coffin, and he had a long-lost attachment to the air.

Gradually, he finally came to his senses. The pinprick pain slowly hit his brain. His sense of touch gradually returned, and he finally felt the touch of the fabric he was gripping in his palm. At the same time, he also came back with his pain. The chest is empty. He slowly reached out and touched it in disbelief. His hands were bright red.

Am I still going to die?

Baizhu was stunned, then he staggered out of bed, covered the wound on his chest that kept spilling blood with one hand, and went outside with the other hand against the wall.

He opened the door with difficulty, breathing like a dying fish. In the end, he couldn't hold it anymore, and he fell at the door of the room without knowing it.

In a haze, he seemed to hear the sound of the door opening next door, as well as Bai Qi's earth-shattering ghost howl, and footsteps rushed towards him. He was picked up and hurried downstairs.

************************************************************

When I woke up again, it was a hospital that I had been unfamiliar with for a long time.

In front of me was an empty ward. The walls are a clean white patch that is standard in hospitals. Baizhu stared at the ceiling for a moment. I thought to myself: Am I back? Oh. I'm back.

Quietly and distractedly, he looked straight ahead, his eyes as if he had traveled through time and space, looking at the place in his dream. Wind Valley, Sixteenth Floor, Shi Brothers and Sisters...... It seems that one second it is still in front of you, and the next second it is two worlds away. - Eventually, all those thoughts gradually faded away from him, and his mind kept shouting, Master, Master, Master......

The door creaked open. He was awakened by the sound of the voice. A little nurse stood at the door in surprise with her mouth slightly open, and then reacted and ran out: "Doctor...... Doctor! The patient in bed 18 woke up! ”

A short time later, a doctor in a white lab coat walked in, followed by two nurses in nurses' uniforms. While rummaging through the body of the atractylodes to check what was going on, they asked about some symptoms of the atractylodes. The doctor said, "It's the first time I've seen you like this!" I thought you couldn't live, your ribs were shattered, your chest cavity was forcibly opened, and you were about to see your beating heart! - But you're really fateful. ――Don't worry, it's very stable now. ”

Baizhu looked at him blankly, at his short hair, at his clothes. Suddenly I felt a little disobedient. He had been in the ancient world for seven years, and now he was suddenly back in the modern era, and he was feeling a strange sense of discomfort.

Baizhu didn't speak, silently cooperated with them to help him check for a while, and it seemed that some equipment had been replaced, and the group went out.

At night, Bai Zhu saw Bai Qi. Bai Qi pushed open the door of the ward and strode in, without disturbing the patient's guilt at all. He didn't bother to move the stool, so he pushed Baizhu inside, and sat down on the side of his bed.

"What happened last night? And the one who wants to kill you? Where did it run? Bai Qi asked unhappily.

Atractylodes is still silent. He was looking at Bai Qi in a trance. It's just for him, Bai Qi hasn't seen him for 7 years. The person in front of him suddenly became a little unfamiliar.

Seeing that Bai Shu didn't answer, Bai Qi became a little irritable: "Speak!" What the hell is going on! ”

"I ......" Baizhu finally came out of his voice, paused, but still couldn't find the feeling of getting along with this person in the past, so he had to say respectfully and detachedly, "...... I don't know. ”

"You don't know? You didn't know you were stabbed? Bai Qi looked angry. Baizhu studied his expression with some novelty. He seemed to see worry and fear on Bai Qi's face? Was this his delusion? - How did he remember that in his memory, he and his brother didn't deal with each other......

"Uh...... Brother. Are you worried about me? ”

Bai Qi seemed to have been struck by lightning, and turned his head to look at Baizhu inch by inch: "You...... Call me what? ”

Atractylodes is a bit of a trance. That's right. His relationship with Bai Qi is not as gentle and harmonious as that of his master. - He may not have called Brother Bai Qi for a long time.

Bai Qi's eyes narrowed strangely: "Baishu!" Something is wrong with you. Bai Qi said, "It can be seen from the dishes you cooked last night that are very unsuitable for my taste." - Who did you burn it for? Call me brother now? Ha?! Are you back to 8 years old? - Your eyes are not right! You see my eyes are not so ...... at all" The last two words, Bai Qi did not speak. Atractylodes can also guess. Over the years, Bai Qi has oppressed Baizhu everywhere, and Baizhu has always been unwilling to suppress back with his eyes and words. The two brothers have fought and turned over their faces, and there are countless of them. As a result, the furniture in the house has been changed several times. The way Bai Zhu looked at Bai Qi was always the look of a madman, and it had never been like this, soft and unfamiliar.

And Baizhu has just returned from the transformation of the world, and obviously has not yet returned to God.

He stayed with his master for 7 years. Staying by the side of that gentle person, his eyes naturally became much gentler.

Bai Qi was unhappy by Baizhu's eyes. Baizhu seems to have experienced something and changed something in a place he didn't expect. This made him very inexplicably irritable. ――I feel like my own things are about to fly out of my palms.

But what exactly did he go through? It's just one night, who stabbed him with a sharp blade? God knows that when he found Baizhu lying at the door of the room, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and his heartbeat almost stopped at that moment.

He had never shouted Baizhu's name in such a panic. When Baizhu was held in his arms, cold all over his body, and blood was constantly gushing from his chest, God knows how panicked he was. - He never thought that one day Baizhu might leave him. What would happen to Baizhu if he left him? Will he turn into a real devil?

At this time, Bai Qi didn't have any idea to hide it, and directly dialed the phones of several subordinates, and in just a dozen seconds, the car drove to the bottom of the building. Bai Qi rushed down with Baizhu in his arms, and the surgery and doctors over there had already been arranged, just waiting for the injured to arrive.

Fortunately, Baizhu's injuries looked at Yan zhòng, but they were not really life-threatening.

Taking advantage of Bai Zhu's anger, Bai Qi suspected several hostile gangs, and was about to bring guns to kill people, when someone reported that Bai Zhu had woken up.

Bai Qi wanted to come over and ask who had the audacity to stab under his nose.

It's just that as soon as I came over, I obviously found something more unpleasant. - His white arts, overnight, seem to have changed as a person! He became polite and strange.

"Atractylodes! What's the matter with you! Bai Qi asked, grabbing him by the collar, "Stabbed stupidly?" Ha? What are you doing inexplicably?! ”

After thinking about it, I still can't figure out how it has changed so much in just one night.

"I ......" Baizhu's eyes were a little distracted. He let Bai Qi grab him by the collar, and he didn't know how to answer. - After all, this kind of thing is too mysterious, isn't it? What is he going to tell Bai Qi?

Bai Qi's movements froze unhappily for a few seconds, staring at Bai Zhu, as if he wanted to see something. But Baizhu's expression of dying now really made him unhappy. He simply threw Baizhu hard, "! This is what it looks like!! Don't show this ghost to Lao Tzu!! With that, he threw the door and went out.

Baizhu looked at the trembling door, and he didn't know what kind of expression to say.

******************************************************************************

During a few days of recuperation, Bai Qi did not appear again. It wasn't until Bai Zhu moved back to the house that he saw Bai Qi lying on the sofa with the big lama reclining on the sofa, drinking beer and adjusting the channel with the remote control. The other party saw him opening the door, glanced at him, and said habitually: "Go cook!" ”

Baizhu was stunned. He suddenly realized that he hadn't cooked in a long time. Whether it's in the dark building, or when it's in the moon building, it's still the days when he ran away from home. - He doesn't seem to have been a cook in seven years.

"I'm ......," Baizhu's throat choked, "I'm sorry...... Can you go out to eat? ”

Bai Qi shivered with a chill. Sorry yet! When did he say sorry to him?! It's really a detached politeness that can give people goosebumps. It's not okay to make people feel uncomfortable.

So Bai Qi didn't continue to say anything for the first time, and let Bai Zhu go upstairs with the clothes he had changed in the hospital.

Baizhu went upstairs, locked the door, and lay down on his small bed.

Seven years is not a short time, but it is not a long time. It is the time when one part of the memory can be diluted and the other part of the memory deepened.

That world has been in too long, so long that Baizhu feels strange to the real world. -- Including Bai Qi, who was once the most intimate despite all kinds of hostility.

His time diluted his feelings. Baizhu couldn't help but be a little flustered. Why is this so? He began to perceive the danger of his constitution. - It's not that the wounds suffered in the dream may be reflected in reality and lead to real death. Rather, it is more dangerous, for the spiritual aspect.

-- Loss of a sense of time.
