I didn't know how much time I had spent in a daze, and I could dimly hear dozens of people talking noisily, and I could hear a few of them relatively clearly.

A man with a local accent shouted in the darkness, "Quick, come here, there's another one over here, still alive." ”

The sound echoed in my ears, and then I saw a patch of snow-white, and it took me a long time to find its counterpart in my mind, which was a white-faced gray whitewashed roof.

It was an old room, with yellow water stains in the corner, white powder-painted paint peeling, and half-height green paint on one side of the wall.

I was lying on a single bed, this room was not big, there were four beds side by side, there were people on each of them, and there were people lying on their stomachs next to the bed, this was a hospital, but it was probably a small clinic in a village town.

It was dark outside the window, but it was not afternoon, the window was open and you could see the sky, and there were dark clouds in the sky, and the sound of chickens crowing came in from the window. The smell was not only unbearable from the quilt that covered me, but also an earthy smell.

I lay on the bed, tired, and leaned back on the head of the bed. Looking at the old-fashioned clock in the ward, it was about half past six o'clock, and a woman in her thirties came in, wearing a white coat, who was probably a doctor.

When the female doctor saw that I was awake, she didn't speak first, she clipped me with a thermometer, then took it out and looked at it, and said, "It's not a big deal, the scratches on my body are bandaged, and the broken finger is also connected." After a good night's sleep for two days, let's eat and go for a walk. ”

I looked puzzled, I don't know what's going on, the doctor doesn't seem to want to take the initiative to tell me, seeing that he was about to go out after copying the list next to the others, I quickly stopped her.

"Protecting ...... Doctor, what is this place? I...... I. As soon as I opened my mouth, I found that my throat hurt, and it took me a long time to hold back a few words, and I had already changed the color of my painful face.

The female doctor patted her head, smiled slightly embarrassed on her face, and walked back: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you, you have been dizzy for the past two days, and you can't ask." What town are you from? Or is it from the county above? I don't know how to stay at home, so I rushed into the water, look at you now, hey, you're also lucky, I sent it with you before, I can't do it here, and the thighs are cut off by stones. ”

I didn't say a word, but I understood what was going on. Heavy rain has fallen in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and this rain has been happening every year, just in the last few months, probably the day we entered the high-rise building.

The water went all the way down, passing through Pingchuan County and blew down an old bridge across the river, but there were more than a dozen cars on the bridge at that time, including a passing bus, more than a dozen cars plus thirty or forty people were swept into the river by the water, and the rescuers went down the river to find the person who fell into the water, and all the way through Mizhi.

My current place is a town downstream of the Yellow River, and I picked it up by the river. The gang scooped me up, found that I was not seriously injured, and placed me in the nearest hospital in the town.

It seems that I was lucky, but I don't understand why it somehow came out of the rice fat. Or was it all the way down from Pingchuan? But after listening to the female doctor's narration, I think this is impossible, more than 100 kilometers, the Yellow River is overflowing, the river has just been cleared of silt, and there are big stones under the river. Most of the limbs that were fished out were miserable, and the female doctor had seen that scene, and it was miserable.

The thunder we heard earlier in the cavity did not need to be guessed, it was not a thunderclap, it was the sound of a boulder collapsing after the water broke through the opening of the river, and the cavity amplified the sound, which would be what we heard later.

I can still live or maybe it is the help of the river, the river is really connected to the bottom of the Yellow River, maybe the outlet is near Mizhi, this underground undercurrent is too long, nearly 100 kilometers, I am afraid when I think about it.

Seeing that the doctor was about to leave again, I immediately asked, "There is one more thing, among those who have been fished up, have you seen a fat man?" "I kind of drew a picture of the fat man's figure.

The female doctor shook her head: "This ...... I don't know, that's your friend? I'm afraid it is...... There are no here, they are all minor injuries, serious injuries and those corpses have been sent to the county hospital, if you look for them, they may be in the county hospital. "I love Chinese.com

I made up nonsense and said that I was the man on the bus, and that the fat man was with me, and there was an old man. The doctor didn't ask anything else, and said that if it was a person in the car, he would wait for two days to be discharged from the hospital and go to the county public security bureau, and the person would have to register. I answered, but all I could think about was how to run.

The waterlogging of the Yellow River is not light, many houses along the riverbank have been washed away, telephone lines and many electric poles are all broken, there is no signal, and the electricity in the hospital is also supplied by generators.

I stayed here for three days, and the water receded more than two meters. I couldn't stay in this place anymore, and there was no signal for a while, and I couldn't get a penny on my body, but fortunately, this hospital was requisitioned by the government, and I didn't ask for medical expenses. It also happened that the hospital room went to the county to purchase, and I was fortunate to take a hitchhike to the county seat. Before leaving, the female doctor chased me out and gave me something, and at first I was startled, but when I looked at it, I realized that it was the turquoise-colored jade-like bracelet. When I got this thing, I hesitated again. I also admired the red revolutionary base in northern Shaanxi, and the ideological consciousness of the people is high.

When I arrived in a civilized place, everything was settled, I changed into the hospital gown I wore from the hospital, and after another meal, I went straight to the county hospital. But after going around the small hospital, I didn't find the fat man and the master, and the two horses were nowhere to be seen.

Eventually, I even walked to a door that said morgue, and it was locked. As a result, the last question, the bodies fished out of the river were sent to the funeral home, but there was none. When I heard it, it was another trance.

But finally I knew that this fat man couldn't die, so I walked to the front desk and asked the little nurse, I didn't have ink, and I directly asked if a fat man had been sent, and I didn't mind the corpse, as long as I knew the news.

As a result, the small nurse looked at me for a long time and threw me a note. I still wanted to ask, but the little nurse didn't want to see me again, so she said casually and hurriedly: "He has been gone for a few days, and if someone comes to him, give him this." ”

There were not a few words on the paper, and an address was written, which was from the county seat, and I saw that it was not far from the hospital, so I walked over in a hurry. It's a hotel, and the front door is not small. I went to the front desk and asked for the room number, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw two people covered in gauze eating steamed buns.

I screamed, and the two of them were even more excited than me, and the fat man pointed at me and said to the master: "Look, look, this bastard has many disasters, but it is Xiaoqiang's life that lives his mother, no matter how bad it is, he just can't die." ”

When I asked, I learned that the fat man and the master were also fished up at the same time as me, but he was more upstream and was sent directly to the county seat, and the wounds on the two people slipped out of the hospital with gauze overnight after the wounds were bandaged. ”

"You two don't stay in the hospital for treatment, what are you doing here, it's not like a minor injury if you're mummified." I picked up a bun on the table and stuffed it directly into my mouth, the mutton filling was full of fat.

The fat man wiped his mouth and threw out two things from the side, one was a white jade mask, and the other was a bronze mirror that had been roughly cleaned. This guy is really the master who sacrificed his life and money, damn it, I was fished up and didn't even have a piece of clothes left, he was good, and he didn't put these two things all the way.

"Hey, with these two goods, this trip is not a loss." The fat man checked the things in his hand, and then turned back to the topic: "Can the fuck not run, I was fished up by another one, and when I woke up, these two things were next to the pillow." I guess the people who fished me didn't throw it away when they saw me desperately clutching something that I thought was important. But when he woke up, he saw two policemen entering the ward. This stubble almost didn't scare your fat man. Hurriedly hid something, but people came to register information, I pretended to be dizzy and mixed up, but I can't stay all the time, the police will come the next day, sooner or later I have to show the stuffing, this is not a joke, those people don't know, but take it to identify it and it will be all clear. I had no choice, so I ran out with the master I had only found at the time. Hey, you're here, let's leave tomorrow, if we really find out the problem, we'll be unlucky. ”

After the fat man finished speaking, he took the things back into his bag, the master was really a mummy, and his thighs, waist, arms, and even his head were all wrapped in gauze.

I don't plan to go back to Beijing with the fat man, it's not over, but I don't want to play with these people. This matter is from now on with me, I used to just think about hiding, but how to hide is a miserable situation, it is better for me to go directly to investigate, the direction of these things is now there, I have thought about the process for three days in the town hospital.

I expressed my attitude, the fat man didn't make a big statement, and it was naturally impossible for the master to follow him, so it seemed that he had to break up from now on. The fat man was going to go back and deal with the things and then distribute them to the master. But the master insisted that he would not play the transfer set when he was old. This is a nice thing to say, what, it's just that I'm afraid that the fat man won't give him money if he disappears.

In the end, under the side knock of the master, the fat man directly gave him cash, the value of these two things I am afraid that the fat man and the master have a number in their hearts, the fat man gave a lot, and a bad old man can finally squander the last year and a half. The fat man politely didn't mention my share, this kid has shown since he hit the ground, without mine, I can't say anything, I didn't think about this stubble at the beginning.

The next day, the three of us had a casual meal, and the fat man asked me what I was going to do, and I said that I would go into the mountains and become a monk, and I would never come out in my life. The fat man still teased a few words as usual, saying that the world is very good, why bother to experience the life of an old eunuch. I scolded a few words and he didn't say anything. In the end, the master returned to his old base in Pingchuan, and the fat man returned to Beijing. On the way home, I booked a ticket to Sichuan.
