The man raised his face, revealing vaguely recognizable handsome eyebrows, if it weren't for the scar on his face, he could have said that he was a good-looking man.

Perhaps seeing the tension behind April's pretending to be calm, the man smiled and softened the condensed expression on his face, "I've always said the same thing in business. Saying that, he dialed the phone, gave a few brief instructions, and when he hung up the phone, he smiled and hooked his chin to April, "You take out your phone and take a look." ”

April had already turned her mobile phone to silent, and when she opened the interface of her mobile phone, a text message happened to come over, and she clicked on it to see that she had received a reminder text message for remittance. She made up her mind, raised her eyes to look at him, and the man smiled again, "When the transaction is successful, I will give you the rest of the money." ”

Most of the heart he was carrying had been put down, and April barely hooked his lips at him, revealing a slightly distorted smile. She has nothing to lose, but Ah Yu is her only relative, and she must save him.

The man took her around and through the trails, during which he also told a few jokes in order to relieve April's uneasiness, and April's face-saving smiles were mostly not very good-looking. When they reached the door of an old warehouse, the man stopped, and April looked at him suspiciously, and the man explained, "I won't go in, I don't like to smell blood." ”

April nodded, and the man instructed again: "Don't say anything after you go in, you can just match what the other party does, and if you have anesthetics, you should have a good sleep." ”

"Hmm." April answered softly and quietly pushed the door open, and the man chuckled behind her: "My name is Hexu, meeting is fate, when the operation is completed, I will take you to eat delicious food, and you should make friends." ”

"Thank you." April turned to thank him, his eyes reflecting the man's smiling face. She nodded to the other and slowly closed the rusty iron door.

Although the surface of the old warehouse is not good-looking, there is a hole inside, like a small operating room. April swept it roughly, although I didn't know much, but it looked at the medical equipment quite professionally. The doctors and nurses in charge of the surgery have all been prepared, and they are wearing masks one by one, and they can't see the original appearance clearly.

At this time, a nurse handed her a hospital gown. April took it, and some numb ones changed their clothes and lay on the operating table. The doctor gave her an anesthetic, and the effect of the medicine took effect little by little, and April felt that her body was getting lighter and lighter, as if it was not her own, and she seemed to be flying.

The shadowless light on the operating table made her unable to open her eyes, her thinking became more and more sluggish, her body was uncontrollable, and at that moment, she suddenly felt fear.

She longed to be a butterfly, breaking out of the thick cocoon that was wrapped, first the head, then the body, the wings, yes, the beautiful wings, the wings that could fly freely. She struggled hard, as if she wanted to die, but the chrysalis was too thick, and her strength was too small, and she couldn't break free from the cage that held her. In the grogginess, she felt the cold liquid applied to her body, and the feeling of the knife cutting through the skin, and she felt no pain.

It's a weird feeling.

It went on like this for a while, she vaguely felt a noise, and the sound of Suosuo's messy footsteps, she sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to know what was happening, but she couldn't move, and she was surrounded by a layer of fog that blocked communication with the outside world.

Will it die, will it die like this?

A familiar voice sounded in my ears, it was the man named He Xu who spoke.

"Hurry up and walk through the back door, get a tip, police. It's coming. ”

This sentence was clearly poured into her ears, like thunder. The fog in front of her eyes is gone, the butterfly is gone, and she is just an ugly chrysalis. But she at least has to keep the time for her life to pass, she doesn't want to die here, she hasn't rescued Ah Yu yet, she hasn't ...... yet

"Save ...... Save me. ”

He Xu was organizing the evacuation of people in an orderly manner, and he was really taken aback when he suddenly heard the person who was originally anesthetized speak. He finally took a closer look at April, the woman's clothes were open, and without a doctor to stop the bleeding, blood was pouring out of the wound in streams. He felt a little sick to his stomach, after all, he had always hated smelling blood.

The woman lay motionless on the operating table, her eyes calm and barren, she looked straight at He Xu, as if to see into his heart, her pale and ragged lips squirmed slightly, and she listened to the shape of her mouth as if she was asking him for help.

He Xu paused, picked up April's clothes, and stepped forward to cover her naked gently and delicately. Dew's body. Then he looked at her wound with some pity, and it was almost a moment, as if he saw the white banknotes flying away in front of him.

Maybe the woman's appearance is really pitiful, and he rarely has compassion, "The 100,000 yuan remitted to your account will be your medical expenses, if the police arrive immediately." ”

After saying that, he took a few steps back, stretched out his right hand and made a gesture, lowered his head slightly, and kissed the ring on his ring finger.

"Goodbye." He smiled, lowered the brim of his hat, and turned to leave.

April slowly closed her eyes, and in the middle of the whirlwind, she felt the temperature of her body receding slightly.

It's cold.

She started dreaming again. In the dream, she and her grandmother were doing manual work in a small room, stacks of work piled up next to them, and they couldn't finish it. She repeated the beads mechanically, her eyes becoming more and more blurry, and she wanted to look up and smile at Grandma, but found that she couldn't see her face clearly.

***

When she woke up, there was a moment of confusion, her vision was white, she stared at the white ceiling in a daze, and for a moment thought she was dead. I wanted to move my hand, but I found that my left hand was on a drip, and after the effect of the anesthetic passed, there was an indescribable pain in the wound.

It hurts.

She lay straight on the bed and did not move, and it took a while for her to recover. Turning his neck, he saw that it was a single patient room, and there was a smell of disinfectant and alcohol in the air. Suddenly thinking of something, she lifted her clothes to look at the wound, and found that the cut had been stitched up and bandaged with medical gauze. April guessed that the police should have taken her to the hospital, and she was a little more relieved.

The sun was shining just right outside, and there were lilies in the vase next to the window, and looking at the way they were placed, it was obvious that they were carefully designed by the owner. April felt weak, aching and hungry, and her face turned pale in pain when she tried to turn over. While he was struggling, the door to the ward was pushed open.

April followed the prestige and saw a woman in a slim dress walking in with a lily in her hand.

"You're awake." The woman greeted me gently, walked to the window, took out the overnight flower branches, and carefully planted the fresh lilies that were still bubbling with dewdrops. She stood there and fiddled for a while, and when she was satisfied, she picked up the vase and turned to face April, deliberately showing off: "Is it good-looking?" ”

April nodded, only to feel that the woman's voice was a little familiar. Because of the proximity, April could roughly see the woman's face, with a goose egg face, wavy curls, a sweet smile and crooked eyebrows, making her look charming and innocent.

"April, long time no see." The woman greeted her softly.

April was stunned and replied mechanically, "Hello." ”

"I went to your house last time to look for you, and the landlord said you weren't there, and I left my phone number, didn't he give it to you?" The woman rearranged the vase as she spoke, and threw the expired bouquet of lilies into the trash.

April glanced at a lily that had not yet completely withered from the edge of the trash can, and suddenly felt a little empty in her heart.

"That number is yours." April muttered, raised her eyes and glanced at the woman standing in front of her, her eyes full of confusion, "May I ask ...... you are?"

"I'm Xia Bai." The woman took over the conversation lightly, stepped forward and approached April, stretched out her finger and pointed to her face, and said with a serious face: "You take a good look at me again, do you see clearly, do you recognize me?" ”

Xia Bai, this name is so profound to her, how could she forget.

"We're best friends, and you won't recognize me." The woman said firmly, but there was a hint of temptation and apprehension in her eyes.

"I don't have good eyesight, I see things blurry when I'm far away, and I didn't recognize you just now." April explained earnestly and apologetically.

When Xia Bai heard this, he joked half-truthfully: "I'm so sad, even if you can't see me clearly, then you should remember my voice, because I've been thinking about you for so long, you didn't recognize me at first sight, you know, I knew it was you at first sight." ”

April was silent.

After so many years, April's silent temperament has not changed, Xia Bai changed the topic, "You have been in a coma for three days, you almost couldn't wake up, I'm worried about death, by the way, you should be hungry, I'll get you something to eat." ”

"No, I want to be discharged." She hated hospitals, and she always felt that hospitals were linked to death.

"What stupid things are you talking about, do you know that you lost too much blood and almost couldn't be saved, you don't have to think about anything now, just have a good rest." Xia Bai stopped her in a tough tone, and softened her voice again, "Are you worried about the medical expenses, don't worry, I have already paid it for you, you can live in peace." Besides, I don't feel at ease if you leave the hospital alone and have no one to take care of you at home. ”

April's heart warmed, knowing her current physical condition, she didn't have a stubborn opinion, and when it was over, she gently pulled Xia Bai's hand, "Thank you." ”

"Thank you for what sisters say." She smiled heartily and lightly helped April cover the quilt, "You lie down for a while, and I'll be back soon." ”

"Hmm." April nodded and slowly closed her eyes.

Xia Bai stood in place for a while, wanting to speak again and again, and finally sighed quietly, turned around and stepped out. She didn't know if what she did was right, she was a little happy and a little regretful, she had all kinds of feelings, she pressed them all to the bottom, and the outside was invulnerable.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly sneered, "Fool." ”
