Chapter 7: The Vanishing Woman
As soon as the two entered the ward, they saw a woman lying on the bed with a pale face, and there were short "Didi" sounds from the ECG machine. Although Li You No. 1 has not had much contact with this woman, the only memory he has is also good.
That was when he was in elementary school, and Li Xianglan was still a normal person at that time, at least Li You No. 1 thought so. The school where he works is the No. 6 Pharmaceutical Factory in Luoye City, not far from where Li Xianglan works, is an ordinary metrology administrator.
Every day after school, he had to go to Li Xianglan's unit to find her, just for a cream popsicle for five cents.
And Li Xianglan, who is idle at work, also loves her chubby nephew very much, and the more reason is that she can't have children. And the cream popsicles in the summer and the sugar cubes in the winter have become the only source of happiness for Li You's childhood.
He almost didn't remember what his second aunt looked like, but he still remembered the second aunt with two braids. But the confused Li Xianglan in front of her has long been tormented by illness.
"Second aunt, can you hear me?" Li You No. 1 whispered in Li Xianglan's ear, but Li You behind him only thought about how much this crazy woman knew about the "key".
"Big nephew, cough cough, listen to me", Li Xianglan licked her chapped lips and said weakly: "No, it's not you, the short-bearded man is here." ”
"Me?" Li You subconsciously touched his stubble, and then came to him suspiciously, although the woman in front of him had nothing to do with him, and even he didn't remember the existence of such a person in his world, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, who doesn't feel distressed when they see Li Xianglan's appearance.
At this time, he thought of his father's appearance before he was drunk, so he put aside all the barriers and took the initiative to grab Li Xianglan's hand.
"I know, you're not something I fancied about. I also know that you came from somewhere else, and although I can't remember who gave me the key, I know that that thing can't take you back to the time and space that belongs to you. Ahem......"
"What? You're saying I'll never go back? “
Blood had begun to ooze from the fracture of Li Xianglan's lips, and Li You No. 1 hurriedly took the cotton swab on the bedside table, intending to help her clean it up.
"No, I'm almost gone." Rejecting his help, Li Xianglan continued to Li You: "I can't say that, I remember that the person who gave me the 'key' said that every time the door to a new world is opened, there is no one behind it, and you can't just jump to conclusions, and it's just that it's not possible to go home." ”
But after all, I can still go home. Li You's heart was not high, and hearing these words made his worried mood all written on his face.
Li You No. 1 looked at the face of this young man who crossed over, and couldn't help but feel sorry for it, and hurriedly said to Li Xianglan: "Second aunt, you mean to say that he still has a chance, right?" ”
Li Xianglan nodded, looked at Li You again, and said, "However, this is also dangerous. Every world is full of unknown dangers, and some may not be complete......"
"Drop~~~" An elongated voice came from the ECG machine, indicating that the woman in front of her was about to die.
"You guys go out first! Xiao Liu, prepare for the electric shock! The doctor who was talking to the two rushed in from outside with the nurses as soon as possible, and Li You, who was at a loss, was pushed out of the door by them.
“3、2、1。 No, increase the pulse current! ”
The two were waiting anxiously outside, and at this time Li Xiaohua also came, and as soon as they met, they asked Li Xianglan how she was doing now.
"I don't know, the doctor said he could choke." Li You No. 1 looked at his sister's nervous expression and put his arm around her shoulder.
Suddenly, all the lights in the hospital went out at the same time, and Li You realized that something was wrong, turned around and opened the door of the ward. The moment the door was opened, a dazzling blue light shot out from Li Xianglan's hospital bed.
By the time everyone had recovered from the dazzling light, the terminally ill woman on the bed had disappeared.
"What about people? Xiao Liu, do you see where people have gone? ”
The medical staff searched everywhere, but they didn't see Li Xianglan's shadow, and the people present stared at the pestle in place with big eyes and no sound.
For others, this kind of scene has never been seen before. But Li You knew that Li Xianglan's eight achievements had crossed over. But how she did it without the help of the "key" is impossible to answer.
When this kind of thing happens, no one can say why, and it will be over. When the three of them returned to their lodgings, the sky seemed to crack open and the rain was pouring down.
"The Meteorological Bureau said that the recent heavy rainfall will last for a week, and a red warning for heavy rain has been issued in various places, so please prepare for flood control......"
The TV was broadcasting flood warnings in various places, and Li You didn't take it to heart at all. He was still pondering what Li Xianglan said before she disappeared.
"If I wait for the 'key' to recharge and leave here, I may die, but if I don't leave, my relatives at home will still be waiting for me. Hey, I don't know if they're thinking about me now. ”
Li You No. 1 moved a chair to Li You's side and asked in a low voice, "What are you muttering to yourself?" ”
"I'm thinking about getting out of here."
"Don't I say it all, you just stay here, no one will drive you away. By the way, you still haven't said how your life is going over there, tell me about it? ”
Li You saw that he was quite interested, so he said all kinds of things from another world.
"Actually, our two worlds are almost the same, even the time is the same. But the city I live in is not so humid and rainy. ”
Li Youyi scratched his head and continued to ask: "I'm not talking about this, I want to ask about your family." Besides, this ghost weather is also recent. ”
"There's nothing to say." Li You left this sentence behind, and got up and walked to the side room, completely ignoring the surprised expression of the person behind him.
Whether to stay or leave, it is not something that Li You can simply decide. Although he has not accumulated much scientific knowledge, there are two identical people in a world, and no matter how he thinks, it does not conform to the laws of nature.
At the same time, he also secretly decided in his heart that no matter where he traveled next time, even if he was in an environment where humans could not survive, he had to move on.
Whether the decadent dad or the selfish sister misses him or not, he doesn't belong to this world.
After making up his mind, Li You fell asleep on the bed in a daze. What happened that day was so strange that he couldn't help but have another strange dream.
In the dream, he stood in the ruins and looked up at the sky with a blade like a kitchen knife, and woke up from the dream before he could see clearly the black and oppressive thing floating towards him.
