Chapter 4: Visions
Just in time for Zhang Kesong's table to beckon someone to settle the bill, he had no choice but to put the money in his pocket, picked up a notebook and ballpoint pen from the counter, and walked over.
When he was ordering the plate and settling the accounts, the people at the table accosted him one after another, but Zhang Kesong kept watching him silently. The fat man poured the last bit of wine from the beer bottle into the glass, and said to him with a smile: "Dude, you cow wow, you used to be mixed up on the road, right?!" ”
Li Zhen laughed embarrassedly: "Oh, that kind of person, if you fight with him, he will be cowardly." As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Zhang Kesong - she frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
At this time, Uncle Sun's shout came from the back kitchen: "Li Zhen, pass the dishes!" ”
Zhang Kesong's face changed in an instant. The pen in Li Zhen's hand paused, and a small snake was drawn on the paper.
It's broken. He said in his heart.
How did you forget about this stubble? Although the fake name on the ID card is "Li Taizhen", everyone called him Shun and only called him Li Zhen. At first, he was also afraid that he would give himself an unimpressive pseudonym, and that he would not be able to react when others called him, which would only add to the trouble...... But who would have expected such a coincidence to meet Zhang Kesong here?
He was expecting Qi Yuanshan, who was walking to the back kitchen with a handful, to help him with this experience, but when he walked past Li Zhen, he patted him with a smile: "You settle the account, I'll go." ”
Then he looked at Li Zhennunu in a strange way and glanced at Zhang Kesong.
The girl looked at him, her brows furrowed more and more, and she stood up suddenly, clasped her hands and propped them on the table: "Your name is Li Zhen?!" ”
The classmates next to him were shocked. The girl in red hurriedly pulled her arm: "Kesong, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yes. My name is Li Zhen. He said in his heart. I am...... The Li Zhen you once knew.
He looked at the girl's eyes—there was excitement, hesitation, doubt, but at most, hope.
What beautiful eyes......
Many times before, he had looked at those eyes quietly, and there was him in them.
I really wanted to, so I told her loudly, Zhang Kesong, I am Li Zhen, standing in front of you, I am alive again!!
He was stunned, and he could finally make eye contact with her for two seconds...... Then he smiled slightly and said, "That's what everybody calls me." But my big name is Lee Tae-jin. ”
Then he lowered his head and took a deep breath: "Chenghui eleven pieces five." ”
After that, he didn't know how he found the zero, and how he watched them go away. Zhang Kesong glanced back at him before going out, but he hurriedly lowered his head.
It wasn't until they were far away that he walked out the door to see the figure in the pink down jacket disappear into the crowd.
The video store across the street suddenly changed songs.
A man is singing......
"I want to tell you out loud that you have been in my world......
It's like a spell that triggers all the surging emotions that have been buried deeply. His chest trembled violently, and his heart beat violently. A warm current went straight to his throat, he quickly closed his eyes and lowered his head, and his nose snorted painfully and sourly.
But in the end, I couldn't hold back. Tears oozed from the corners of his eyes, cold by the wind.
Qi Yuanshan walked over from behind and patted him on the shoulder with a cigarette: "What, where are you still looking?" ”
"I'm confused." He closed his eyes for a moment, opened them, and said calmly. "Bring me one."
"Huh...... Now my aunt has to say that I have brought you badly. He took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out the last one and handed it to Li Zhen, pinched the box, and threw it into the trash can next to him.
Li Zhen lit the torch smoke of Qi Yuanshan, and took a deep breath with his cheeks curled. After thinking about it, he took another sip with his throat. The smoke finally poured into his lungs, and then he squinted his eyes and let out a long exhale.
Qi Yuanshan was dumbfounded: "You already know how to smoke?" ”
Li Zhen looked at the cigarette in his hand: "I haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?" ”
Actually, he didn't feel choked at all. But this body...... What is not normal is normal.
The slight numbness soon set in, and he finally felt that his chest was feeling better. There are still some things stuck there, but ...... At least bearable.
Just as he was about to say something to Qi Yuanshan to distract himself, the position of his shoulder blades suddenly itched. He frowned and snorted in pain. Because the itch turned into a heart-piercing pain in the next moment—even more unbearable than when the flesh was growing slowly in the grave!
It's as if there are two awls coming out of the cracks in the bones...... No, it was from the bone marrow, and the breath made him tilt his head even more painfully and sit down against the door.
Qi Yuanshan hurriedly skimmed off the cigarette butt and held him: "What's wrong?" Why do you smoke like this? ”
A cold sweat was already oozing from Li Zhen's forehead, and he couldn't speak. Qi Yuanshan hurriedly opened his throat and howled: "Auntie, come here!" ”
He hugged Li Zhen's shoulders and tried to help him up, but he felt a moist and warm feeling. Take back your hand and look at it...... There was blood between the fingers.
"I'm cāo!" The left hand immediately took out the phone from his trouser pocket.
"Don't ......" Li Zhen tried to reach out to stop him, but as soon as his shoulder moved, the back of his body twitched violently as if it was disconnected, and his arm was let go unobeyed.
Aunt Liu ran over quickly, and when she saw the blood stains on Qi Yuanshan's hands, she panicked suddenly: "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”
"He's bleeding from skin disease! Didn't I tell you he had a skin disease! Qi Yuanshan said in a low voice, keeping an eye on the guests who were looking over there to hear.
Aunt Liu looked at the store, then at Li Zhen, panicked, and then took out a handful of gold yuan from her pocket and stuffed it to Qi Yuanshan: "Hurry up, call a taxi to take him to the hospital - ask the driver how to go...... Go to the second courtyard! Call me if you have something! ”
"Don't ...... Don't go ......" Li Zhen tried to stand up, and Qi Yuanshan took advantage of the situation to pull him up, but then he made another effort and put him on his shoulders all of a sudden, "What's the matter, I still feel sorry for the money, hurry up!" ”
In normal times, although Li Zhen looks quiet and quiet, a sturdy young man like Qi Yuanshan really can't restrain him. However, at this moment, this strange pain not only distracted him, but also seemed to drain his strength—as if all the strength of his body had been gathered into those two small electric drills.
He had to be carried by Qi Yuanshan, and trotted to the side of the road, attracting many eyeballs.
Then I waited for the taxi to arrive, to be stuffed in, to sway, to get out of the car, to queue, to register, to shout, to call the phone, to smell of disinfectant water, to the sound of rattling wheels......
The pain was getting worse and worse, and his consciousness was getting more and more blurred.
