Chapter 47: The Eye

After a sudden braking, the car still hit a zinc tree on the side of the road, and with a "bang", the front of the car deflated in.

Arthur flew up from the back seat and rolled to the front row, hitting his head on the center console, and a sharp pain came. Wood was not wearing a seatbelt and hit the windshield, bleeding from his forehead and fainting. Arthur was in a better situation, he got up with his arms propped up, touched his head, and was a little dizzy, but it was fine. It happened very suddenly, the driver Matthew suddenly lost control, there was nothing on the road but he slammed the steering wheel, fortunately the brakes were more timely, otherwise the collision would have been more serious.

The radio was also playing the radio commentary, and the New York Knicks overtook the score in the final minute of the game, "86:90, 86:90, the Knicks achieved a comeback, they won the first semifinal victory in Madison, it was a good start, a good start......" The commentator was very excited, although it was a difficult win, although there was no Michael Jordan on the other side, but the opponent was the Bulls after all.

Arthur looked at Matthew, who threw himself on the steering wheel and fainted like Wood. But there was no wound on his head, because he was wearing a seat belt, and at this speed of impact, the airbag did not open, so there was no reason to faint. Arthur squeezed back into the back seat, leaned over and patted Matthew's face, he didn't seem to faint, more like he was asleep. How could he fall asleep?

After getting in the car, the two didn't communicate, Arthur just chatted with Wood, completely ignoring the driver. He was thin, his cheeks and eye sockets were sunken, and his hair was long and curly, and Arthur wondered if the guy had sucked his head before driving. After many strokes, Matthew gradually woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Arthur, and his black, night-like eyes.

"Eyes, eyes, eyes......" Matthew muttered a few times "eyes".

"What are you talking about? Are you a fan? Be sober, sober! Arthur vaguely heard Matthew saying "eye", didn't understand what he meant, and suspected that the goods were probably drug driving. They are not the only ones on the road, there are passers-by walking in this direction, and some people take out their mobile phones to call the police, and if the police find themselves driving under drugs, they will be in trouble. Arthur shook Matthew vigorously, and Matthew came out of the hallucinations just now.

The terrifying eye of the sky, etched in his mind for a long time, he shook his head, saw Wood who had fainted, looked at Arthur again, and replied, "No, I didn't take drugs, I just... I just suddenly got confused, confused......"

With that, Matthew restarted the car, put on reverse gear, drove the car back to the road from the curb of the road, honked his horn to drive away the surrounding passers-by, and drove back in the direction of the Washington Bridge.

"Go to the hospital, he bruised." Arthur asked Matthew to drive to a nearby hospital, but Matthew shook his head and said, "I'm going to send you back first, and then send him to the hospital, he's fine, he'll be fine, he'll be fine." Then, without saying a word, Matthew increased the throttle and headed towards Manhattan, leaving Wood lying in the passenger seat, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Arthur didn't say anything more, this Matthew didn't look normal, his face was gloomy, and the light from outside cut through his knife-like face, like a sculpture. The car quickly drove to the Washington Bridge, and Matthew dodged the two police cars on the road, not wanting to be noticed by the police. After getting on the bridge, Matthew sped up, Arthur could feel a slight weightlessness when he sat in the back, this Matthew's driving skills were quite good, but he looked anxious and anxious to send Arthur back.

Just fifteen minutes later, Matthew dropped Arthur to the door of his apartment in Little Italy, where Wood collapsed in the passenger seat and didn't wake up. His forehead was bleeding from the ground, his shoulders were stained red, and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive. Before getting out of the car, Matthew asked, "Who wins the Knicks or the Bulls?" ”

"Knicks, 90-86, won by four points."

"Thank you." Matthew said lightly, and when Arthur got out of the car, he drove away.

Arthur looked at the headlights in the distance and thought to himself that it was a strange fellow.

Arthur returned home to change his clothes, and Gina was doing aerobics on the TV at home. It's the kind of calisthenics where a few men and a few women, jumping around on the TV screen in tights, raising their legs high for a while, and bending over left and right for a while. Gina was also wearing a tights and a headband tied around her head, and she was dancing vigorously.

Gina had long forgotten about her father and Jenny, and when she heard that she had been entrusted to Arthur, she was so happy. Her mind is all about cheerleading and dancing, and with a year to go before her college admissions, it's time to be carefree.

Arthur went into the bathroom to take a shower and wash off the smell of his body, which always smelled of kitchen smoke and the sweetness of desserts. The water rushed down the shower's head, and the warm water washed away the exhaustion on his body, and he found that his knees and ribs were still bruised, and a bag was knocked out of his head. That Matthew is obviously a skilled driver, why did he suddenly lose control and fall into a coma?

"Eyes... Eye... Eyes..."

Arthur remembered Matthew's muttering when he woke up, and suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned off the faucet, wiped the water droplets on his body, didn't wear any clothes, and came out of the bathroom with a towel. In the living room, Gina was still dancing, and when she saw Arthur rushing out naked, she thought he had some idea, "I'm almost done dancing, I'm sweating all over my body......"

As a result, Arthur turned off the TV and told Gina to take a shower right away, don't jump yet, and Gina had to mumble and go to the bathroom. Arthur opened the TV stand, turned the safe, and took out the poker inside. Find the 4 of clubs, flip to the back, and it reads:

Countless eyes have seen the morning light; He slept deep in the grave, and the morning sun still illuminated the world.

The night, which is warmer than the day, charms countless eyes with magic; The stars shine forever, but the eyes are full of boundless shadows.

Could it be that his eyes have gone out? No, it can't be, it's an illusion! He just turned to the other sideβ€”

It's called the invisible world.

……

Ten minutes later, Arthur appeared in a public phone booth near Chinatown with his coat on, and he paged Abramo and waited for Abu's call back.

Late at night, Chinatown is still brightly lit, many shops have closed, and the roller shutters are pulled down and painted with colorful graffiti. On the opposite side of the phone booth, there is a Cantonese tea restaurant with its doors open, and a few old uncles eat tea and chat in it without sleeping in the middle of the night. It was a bit cold at night, the wind leaked through the cracks into the phone booth, and Arthur didn't wear enough clothes to get goosebumps.

After a short while, the phone rang, and Arthur hurriedly answered.

"Check the address of a guy named Matthew, and the phone number, the license plate number, he's a subordinate of the Gandol family, right... Skinny, curly-haired, driving a Mazda929, black, the front of the car was crashed, right... I'm going to find him tonight and bring him to me. I'm in Chinatown, Hey Tea Restaurant, and I'm waiting for you here...... Oh no... You're too far away, you inform Russell when you get the information, and I'll ask Russell to bring someone over......"

After saying that, Arthur hung up the phone, took out two more coins and stuffed them, dialed Russell's mobile phone, and rang for a while before connecting.

"Russell, why did you answer the phone?"

"Oh... I... I'm reading bedtime stories to Anna, and she can't sleep. ”

"Abu will call you later and tell you the information of a man named Matthew, you can find him and bring him to me, I am at the Hey Tea Restaurant in Chinatown."

"Oh... Okay, okay, but Anna..."

Arthur discovers that since entrusting Anna to Russell, this guy has become more mother-in-law than before.

"If you don't mind, take Anna with you! By the way, that Matthew may not be at home, you remember to check the nearby hospital, he was with a guy named Wood, and Wood was injured. Anyway, find Matthew, I'll be waiting for you in Chinatown. ”

"Roger." Russell replied in a firm tone, and it was only then that his voice reassured Arthur.

After making the call, Arthur tightened his clothes, looked left and right, trotted all the way to the Xixi Tea Restaurant across the road, pushed the door out, and said, "Boss, let's have a bowl of shrimp wonton noodles." ”
