Text: Episode 13

1.

"I'm not sick, why should I take medicine, I'm not sick, why should I be harmed, I'm not sick, I don't take medicine, I'm not sick, you can't kill me......"

Tao Qiwu muttered, like a gnat.

"Tao Qiwu, it's time to take medicine." The door to the hospital room was pushed open, and the cold light in the hallway shone through the crack in the door.

"I don't eat, I'm not sick."

"How can I do it without medicine? You won't be able to sleep without taking medicine. The female nurse said softly, in a white nurse's uniform, wearing a mask and not being able to see her face clearly.

"Falling asleep and having nightmares, I'm scared."

"I'll be angry if you don't take the medicine! You'll be even more scared! The female nurse suddenly became stern.

"Don't eat! Dizzy after eating! ”

"Gotta eat!" The female nurse yelled viciously.

She roared and took off her mask violently, it was Yang Ying's face.

2.

Li Ling is energetic.

She enjoys the days when she doesn't have to squeeze the subway to work in the morning and evening. Sleep at what time you want to go to bed every night, and wake up at what time you want in the morning.

Cao Chengrui has been running to the hospital recently, and she writes a few words from time to time and posts them on the Internet. Although the readers noticed that the writing style of the article has changed a lot, the good thing is that the plot passages of the whole novel are inherently twisted and weird.

"Hello?" Li Ling held the fruit yogurt in her left hand, tore the lid with her teeth, and held the mobile phone in her right hand.

"Are you alright?"

"Something to do with you?"

"I miss you a little."

"Fuck off!"

Li Ling hung up the phone after speaking.

Cao Chengrui poked his head out of the kitchen with an apron and asked, "Who?" ”

"A friend from the former company."

"What's the murder?"

"It's always been like this." Li Ling took a sip of yogurt and asked, "Is Tao Qiwu better?" ”

"It's still like that, it's unconscious."

"Has the hospital compensated?"

"It's a little bit of a loss because of the media."

Li Ling pouted and thought about it.

"Be content, a little is better than nothing."

"What about the families of the mentally ill?"

"I ran early and I couldn't find anyone."

"It's really realistic enough ......" Li Ling sat on the sand room and crossed her legs leisurely.

"Maybe the reality is too cruel."

3.

Cao Chengrui stood at the door of the ward and watched for a while. Seeing a doctor coming to check on the ward, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is he doing now?" ”

"All indicators are normal, but I am unconscious."

It's like a lot of TV dramas.

Cao Chengrui sat on the bench at the door of the ward, his left hand clenched into a fist and pressed it to his mouth.

"Did I hurt you?" He thought: I wanted to write you to death or go to the hospital like a prank, but you are okay, and you really cooperate with me.

On September 3, it was sunny to cloudy, 26 degrees.

Time flies, and Tao Qiwu has been lying for half a month.

Cao Chengrui came almost every day.

Li Ling shifted the focus of the novel to "Cao Chengrui", she said that because of the "Tao Qiwu" in the novel, she had gone crazy.

"I think you'd better write less about me, or you'll change someone."

"Are you scared?"

"Of course not, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Then how can the characters designed in the original outline be replaced?"

"Okay, it's all up to you, you have the final say."

Cao Chengrui kissed Li Ling on the cheek.

4.

Cao Chengrui, who came back from the hospital, opened the door with a key, and Li Ling did not sit in front of the computer, but was standing on the balcony talking about her mobile phone.

Li Ling heard the sound of Cao Chengrui entering the door, hurriedly turned around and hung up the phone, her expression was a little unnatural.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm going out tonight, I have a friend from Beijing who came to Songbai on a business trip, let's get together."

"So, then I'll accompany you?"

"No need, it's all girls, it's inconvenient for you to go."

"Okay, don't be too late, people will be worried." Cao Chengrui smiled "hehe".

5.

Tao Qiwu looked at me pitifully, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

I don't know what tortured him like this, it must have been a double blow both mentally and physically.

"He's going to kill me." He pulled me to the hospital bed.

"Who is he?"

"He'll do it to you, too." Tao Qiwu whispered in my ear: "You have to be careful, he wants to kill the two of us!" ”

6.

21:31。

I sat in front of the computer and looked at the text written by Li Ling.

My heart was empty, and this feeling prompted me to pick up my mobile phone and dial Li Ling's number.

"Hello?"

"Ahh

"Did you drink?"

"No, no."

"My little cutie, when are you going to come back?"

"Hmm...... I'll have to wait a while! Li Ling took a deep breath.

"I'm going to pick you up?"

"No, you don't."

"Why? Why are you still wheezing? ”

"It's okay, walking, ready, ready to find a little bar...... Listen to the song. ”

Li Ling said vaguely.

Cao Chengrui didn't ask, and hung up the phone stupidly.

7.

It was dark in the room, only the computer screen was on.

I sit in front of my computer and always feel like there are eyes behind me. When I looked back a few times, it turned out to be my delusion. I had to stand up and turn on the light to let the light dispel my suspicions.

The sound of "bang" came from the kitchen, and I was excited.

I walked over and checked it out, and I didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

When I came back from Hospital No. 7, I felt that something was wrong.

Walking on a crosswalk, it felt like the cars that saw me not slowing down were deliberate. Of course, I also know that it's just a habit for drivers. If pedestrians don't give way, drivers roll down their windows and scold: "Blind?!" You're looking for death?! ”

Walking in a secluded alley, I feel that someone is following me, and I can hear footsteps very clearly. I knew it was the ears and the brain that were deceiving me.

I was also scared when I saw someone walking towards me with his hands in his pockets, for fear that he would suddenly take a knife out of his pocket and stab himself.

Passing by a group of boys who looked like junior high school students, I would be scared. I was worried that they would suddenly find fault with me, and the newborn calf was not afraid to pull out the paper cutter from his school bag.

Women smile at me, I will be afraid that they will "jump"; The old men approached me, and I feared that they would fall at my feet and grab my legs; Crowded on the bus, afraid that the girl next to me suddenly slapped me and scolded me for being a hooligan; Sitting on the light rail, I always felt that a pickpocket would cut open my pants pocket with a razor, and his hand shook, and the painful hot blood flowed down.

I somehow began to get scared. This is all blamed on Lao Tao's words: "He will do it to you too." You have to be careful, he wants to kill the two of us! ”

would make himself like this because of a sentence from a mentally ill person.

But in my heart, I don't think Tao Qiwu is a mental patient.

He said so seriously.

My gut told me that for many years brother, I should trust him.

8.

Li Ling didn't come back until early the next morning.

Smells of alcohol.

"Why didn't you answer my phone later? Do you know how worried I am about you? Didn't we say that! No matter what happens, we have to keep in touch with each other! ”

Cao Chengrui didn't sleep all night.

"It's just that the phone is dead, don't get excited."

Li Ling sat on the sofa and said, "Besides, it's not the first time, you should have been used to it a long time ago." ”

Cao Chengrui tried to calm down, so he stopped talking and walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"I'm going to eat poached eggs."

After Li Ling finished speaking, she stood up, took off her clothes, and went into the bathroom.

9.

22:17。

"Lao Cao, what are you doing?" Voice messages.

"Nothing, stay."

"You didn't come back and get together and come out for a drink."

"I have to wait for my girlfriend to come home."

"You ask her where she is, then pick her up, and let's find a place to drink together."

The person who sent the message was Jiang Hong, my classmate from elementary school to junior high school.

"Okay, I'll give her a call and ask."

Calling again, Li Ling's phone was turned off.

"Where are you?" I got through to Jiang Hong's phone.

"Penang Street, Shengda Plaza, hurry up and take a taxi! Reimburse you for the car! ”

It sounds like Jiang Hong has someone else around him.

"Okay, I'll call you when I'm done."

10.

The vicinity of Park Road at the end of Penang Street is soaked in smoke, beer and street barbecue smoke every night.

Bars and restaurants, guesthouses and KTVs, they are drowsy in a neon pool.

Men and women, all sorts of things. Get drunk, get drunk, or get drunk.

"Why are you so slow! I've been waiting for you for more than half a day! Jiang Hong beckoned Cao Chengrui to sit down.

The sidewalk was filled with tables and filled with smoke.

"Dude!" Jiang Hong grabbed the guy at the barbecue restaurant and said, "I'll roast four more lamb kidneys at this table!" Well...... Twenty oysters, twenty scallops, two sizzling crucian carp and twenty skewers of beef...... Three pairs of spicy wings, roasted tendons...... Oh, and another case of beer! ”

"Can you eat it?" Cao Chengrui frowned, unable to open his eyes because of the smoke.

"Can't eat? I can't eat and watch it on the table! ”

Cao Chengrui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend Yang Xinyue...... Haha, female friends! The girl sitting next to Jiang Hong looked like she was in her early twenties.

Jiang Hong boasted and said, "Sophomore this year! ”

"Hello." Cao Chengrui nodded.

"This is my good brother, great writer! It's called Brother Cao! ”

"Hello brother." Yang Xinyue greeted very shyly.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm just a vagrant."

"Lao Cao, do you know, just their school was arrested some time ago." Jiang Hong picked up a bottle of beer with his teeth and handed it to Cao Chengrui.

"I don't know."

23:08。

After drinking six bottles of beer in half an hour, Cao Chengrui was more or less confused, the colors in his eyes became more and more vivid, and the women around him became more beautiful.

"I'll tell you......" Jiang Hong poured beer into his stomach as he ate the meat, and talked endlessly.

Cao Chengrui didn't listen at all, he suddenly saw a figure that looked like Li Ling walking out of the hotel opposite the barbecue restaurant.

It was less than ten meters away from him.

He smiled, picked up the beer bottle, took a sip and said, "Drink!" ”

"Huh? Did you listen to what I said? ”

"Huh?"

"Drink these and give you a drink of the circle?"

"Nope!"

"So what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just love her too much."

Jiang Hong tilted his body, put down the beer bottle and asked, "Who do you love?" ”

"My girlfriend."

"I forgot about it! What about your girlfriend? ”

Cao Chengrui thought for a while and said, "I don't know where she is." ”

Yang Xinyue laughed "giggled" for some reason.

He also followed Yang Xinyue and smiled, laughing presumptuously.

11.

"Poached eggs." Cao Chengrui handed the plate to Li Ling, took the salt jar and sprinkled a little salt on the poached egg.

Li Ling stood up and took the plate, kissed Cao Chengrui on the mouth and said, "You are so good." ”

Cao Chengrui took off his apron and put it on the dining table with a smile, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see Lao Tao."

"You said you were fine, you always went to something! You go and look at him, and he will be able to stand up? ”

"Steadfast."

"Good! You're in a hurry! Go for you! ”
