Chapter 269: Stalker
If there are no special circumstances, Luo Tong's clinic is generally open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The scale of the clinic is very small, in addition to showing patients some of the most common small problems, it basically acts as a pharmacy, and the work is idle on weekdays, and the salary is not bad, which is a good job for Xiaojing.
When he came to this clinic after being introduced by his relatives, Xiaojing still had some resistance in his heart. She has lived in Jinshui County since she was a child and has never had the opportunity to go to a big city to see it. After graduating from the local health school, she wanted to let her family trust her family find a job as a nurse in a big hospital in R City, but with her own conditions, it was even more difficult to enter a regular big hospital than to ascend to the sky.
Xiaojing's family conditions are not very wealthy, rather than spending all his parents' life savings to buy a low-paying job in a big city, it is better to recognize the reality as soon as possible and do something suitable for himself in a down-to-earth manner.
At that time, Luo Tong's assistant went back to his hometown in the town to get married and have children, and there was an urgent need for someone to help in the clinic. By chance, Xiao Jing met Luo Tong and developed a relationship that even she didn't expect.
Xiao Jing feels that his current life is very happy, although he has not been able to realize his desire to go to the big city to see, but he can be with his beloved man at work every day, and when he is tired, he can see the faint smile of the other party when he looks up, what does it matter if he lives in a big city or a small county.
As long as the people around you are right, nothing else matters.
Xiaojing is a girl with a simple mind and an easy heart to satisfy. She didn't want much, as long as Luo Tong could treat her well and give her a promise at the right time, it would be enough for her.
However, Luo Tong's recent abnormal performance made her feel faintly uneasy.
First of all, what she was worried about was, of course, Luo Tong's body. He is obviously a doctor, always greeting and caring about the patients around him, but often ignoring his own health. Secondly, as a little girl, she sometimes thinks crankily, worrying about whether Luo Tong has changed her mind and doesn't like her anymore......
"Xiaojing, it's not early, it's almost time for you to go home."
Just when Xiao Jing was whimsically holding her cheeks with both hands, Luo Tong suddenly patted her shoulder behind her. She came back to her senses, looked at Luo Tong inexplicably and asked, "What did you just say?" ”
Luo Tong pointed to the wall clock on the wall, "It's already eight o'clock, you can clean up and go home quickly." ”
"Huh? Leave work so early? Xiao Jing glanced around the small clinic, and although there was no one else besides the two of them, she still asked in wonder, "Aren't we still an hour before closing, why am I going back so early?" ”
"In these extraordinary times, safety is paramount. Have you forgotten what you told me at noon today? ”
"Oh, you're saying I'm being followed." Xiao Jing suddenly realized, and said half-jokingly, "Eighty percent of the perverts see that I look cute and want to take advantage of me secretly." Don't worry, those people are colorless and don't ......."
"Enough!" Luo Tong interrupted Xiao Jing's joke with some annoyance, and said with a serious face, "You go home for me immediately, try to pick a place with a lot of people, and call me when you get home, do you know?" ”
Xiao Jing opened his mouth in astonishment, and said in his heart what was wrong with Dr. Luo, as if he was afraid of something. But after thinking about it, the other party should be worried about her safety to have such an abnormal performance, and I couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth and sweetness in my heart.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xiao Jing agreed obediently, then put the mobile phone and charger into the backpack, and reluctantly said goodbye to Luo Tong.
Out of the clinic, she let out a long breath. After walking a short distance and looking back, Luo Tong was still standing at the door of the clinic with her arms crossed, watching her leave.
She smiled and waved her hand at Luo Tong, meaning: You go in, I have no problem by myself. Luo Tong nodded reassuringly, turned around and went back.
Xiaojing's home is not far from the clinic, a seven- or eight-minute walk. She listened to Luo Tong's words, and tried her best to walk where there were pedestrians and street lights, and she didn't notice anything wrong along the way.
When she was about to get to the door, she had to turn into a narrow alley. Before that, she glanced behind her vigilantly, not expecting anything to be wrong, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure that flashed quickly. She was shocked, could it be that the stalker had reappeared?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get nervous, and at the same time, a wave of anger ignited in her heart.
"Let the horse come over, let this girl see the true face of your Lushan Mountain." Xiao Jing muttered in his heart as he reached into the pocket of his dress and tightly grasped the bottle of anti-wolf spray he had purchased online.
She took a deep breath and strode towards the alley, concentrating all her attention on what was happening behind her.
Judging by her intuition, the other party did not give up tracking her, but just kept a relatively safe distance. She doesn't want to be like a prey to be slaughtered, always in a passive state. She decided to fight back and hit the other party by surprise.
She mentally counted down a few counts, turned sharply, and walked in the direction she had come. The stalker was not mentally prepared, and in the face of Xiao Jing's counterattack, he had no time to hide himself, and was instantly exposed to Xiao Jing's sight.
Xiao Jing reflexively took out the anti-wolf spray, and just wanted to spray it in the other party's face, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting: "Xiao Jing, it's me!" ”
Xiao Jing's hand froze in mid-air, looking at the other party in surprise, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and asked, "Luo, Brother Luo, why is it, it's you?" ”
Luo Tong wiped a handful of cold sweat, grabbed Xiao Jing's hand, stuffed the dangerous little bottle back into Xiao Jing's pocket, and explained to her: "After you left, I always felt unsteady in my heart. Anyway, at this time, there are no patients in the clinic, so I will simply close the door early to secretly protect you from going home. ”
"You just sneaked along with me all the way?"
"yes." Luo Tong smiled awkwardly and said apologetically, "Xiaojing, don't be angry, I didn't mean to scare you, or I was too worried about your safety." I know you don't like that I always treat you like a child, so I followed you secretly, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you. ”
Xiao Jing pressed a hand on his chest and said with a smile: "You villain almost scared me to death, I really thought I had met a pervert, and I was about to fight him." ”
"I'm sorry, I won't be like this next time." Luo Tong apologized again. "However, seeing that you are so vigilant, I can also be a little more relieved."
"What's not to worry about? I'm already in my twenties. ”
"It's better to be careful in everything. Let's go, I'll take you upstairs. ”
"No need...... Xiao Jing waved her hand again and again, thinking that the house had not been cleaned for several days, and there was nowhere to put her feet, she was embarrassed to let Luo Tong see her sloppy side. You're not in good health these days, hurry up and go home to rest, see you at the clinic tomorrow! After Xiao Jing finished speaking, he ran towards the residential building inside, for fear that Luo Tong would catch up.
As soon as her spirit relaxed, Xiao Jing immediately felt a wave of tiredness coming to her.
As she walked home, she laughed at herself in her heart: Actually, no one is following me at all, right? It's all because of that damn murder in the county, and I thought too much about it to have the illusion of being watched.
There are no voice-activated lights in the old residential buildings, only a dim light from the small windows in the corridors. Xiao Jing has lived here for five or six years, and he can touch his home from downstairs to the top floor with his eyes closed.
She pulled the key out of her backpack and inserted it into the lock hole in the dim light. At this point, she didn't know that someone had been waiting for her in the hallway for a long time.
With a "click", Xiao Jing opened the door, and the figure in the dark quietly approached Xiao Jing. At the moment when Xiao Jing opened the door, the black shadow raised the stone in his hand and smashed it into the back of Xiao Jing's head. Xiao Jing screamed, and a sharp pain came from his head, followed by unbearable dizziness.
In the haze, she felt like she was lying on the ground, dragged for some distance, and finally stopped in a small space. She struggled to discern what was in front of her, and found that her location appeared to be the living room of her house.
What just happened? Am I being attacked?
Xiao Jing used the residual consciousness to force himself to stay awake. She tried to scream for help, but she couldn't get anything out of her throat except for a muffled grunt.
After a while, she saw a man wearing a mask and a hat standing in front of her.
"You...... Be...... Who ......" these three words almost exhausted all her strength.
The other party did not answer her, but slowly took off his mask and hat. When she gradually saw the other party's completely unfamiliar face clearly, she said in confusion: "I...... No...... Know...... You ......"
The other party squatted down, smiled at her slightly, and said, "You don't need to know me, as long as I know you, it's enough." ”
A woman's voice? The man in front of him dressed as a man and with his hair cut short turned out to be a woman? Could it be that she is the perverted murderer that the police are looking for? But when and why did she target me?
Xiao Jing had too many things in his heart that he couldn't understand.
She regretted not letting Dr. Luo accompany her home, and regretted that she had let go of her flower messenger because of the problem of face. Thinking that the turn to leave just now turned out to be a farewell, tears welled up in her eyes.
Her head sank and the world around her became quieter. The moment she closed her eyes, she seemed to hear the other party say in an extremely disgusted tone, "It's all your fault......"
She didn't understand, and she didn't have time to understand. The rest of the puzzles had to be solved by the police.
