Haikou City, No. 187 Central Hospital.

The madman in front of the service desk in the lobby on the first floor was sandwiched between two security personnel, and some family members of the patients gathered around. A young woman who looked like a nurse was frowning angrily: "Sir, do you have anything else?" If not, please leave and do not disturb the normal order of the hospital. ”

The madman lowered his head slightly, stretched out his index finger and pulled his sunglasses to look at the two people next to him: "Find someone." ”

The nurse took a deep breath: "Sir, I have made it very clear to you just now, there is no one you are looking for among the inpatients. ”

The madman pushed his sunglasses back into place and took a step forward, and the security personnel around him quickly stretched out their arms to stop in front of the madman: "Sir, please stay calm!" ”

The madman raised his hands and retreated to his original position. The purpose of coming this time is just to find Ding Ning's whereabouts, and it is not appropriate to have a head-on conflict, not to mention that it is now in a hospital with a huge flow of people, and if there is really a conflict, it will be troublesome to be treated as a doctor.

"Sister nurse, you see that you yourself have said that you are hospitalized now, then you may have been discharged, you can help me check the hospitalization records."

The nurse stabilized the anger in her heart: "Sir! As I explained to you, you don't have access to other people's hospitalization records. If you have no further questions, please leave. ”

"I've been looking for her for three years!"

"Sir, I sympathize with you, but ......"

Before the nurse could finish speaking, the madman took off his sunglasses and pointed to the scar between his eyebrows, interrupting the nurse's words: "I almost died in an accident to find her." ”

"Hey, listen, there's a story." Hearing the madman's words, the onlookers began to whisper.

Seeing that the nurse was speechless for a while, her face showed a little sympathy, and the madman struck while the iron was hot: "The story between me and her starts eighteen years ago. She was an orphan since she was a child, and once when my father went to the welfare home to give love, he saw that she was very pitiful and decided to adopt her. She and I grew up eating together, going to school together, and growing up happily together. I always thought that I was my own sister, until she was sixteen years old and suddenly had a strange disease, and the doctor in the hospital said that she might not live for a few years, and I suddenly realized that my feelings for her were not close to family affection, and I fell hopelessly in love with her. At first, I didn't dare to show it, but then I accidentally saw her diary and realized that she had always loved me deeply. After I confessed to her, we were together. Originally, I wanted to spend the last few years with her like this, but I didn't expect that one night three years ago, she didn't want to bother us to leave a letter and ran away from home, and said that if I had the fate to be my wife again in the next life. ”

Seeing a regretful expression on the nurse's face, Lin Qi pretended to wipe her eyes: "Why is she so stupid?" How could I be afraid of being involved? I vow I must find her, I can't let her last days of her life be desolate. I inquired while doing odd jobs, and after three years of searching for most of China, I recently found out that she had been hospitalized here about a month ago, which is my last hope, and if I can't find her again, my life will be meaningless. The nurse sighed after hearing the madman's words, and waved her hand at the two security guards: "Infatuated enough, come with me." ”

The madman saw that the nurse was relieved, and hurriedly followed, and the onlookers listened to the story of the madman who was looking for a wife for thousands of miles and was infected by the madman's infatuation, and they all gave a thumbs up: "Young man, good job, come on!" ”

The nurse took out Ding Ning's hospitalization file from the filing cabinet and took a look: "No, she is obviously just an ordinary skin disease, how can it be an incurable disease?" After saying that, he turned around, and there was no madman behind him.

The madman walked out of the hospital and reached out to stop a taxi: "Master, No. 1, Pailou Lane, Dingjia Village." "The story told by the madman just now is completely made up by Shen Muhan's origin and the fabrication of the scene, it's okay to fool around temporarily, and when the nurse reacts, it will inevitably be another trouble, and it is the best policy to leave quickly after seeing Ding Ning's address clearly.

The driver glanced at the madman in the rearview mirror: "Sir, are you from out of town?" There is a Ding village nearby, but they are all single-family buildings, there is no archway lane, are you sure of the address? The madman carefully recalled the address registered on the hospitalization record and made sure that he was not mistaken.

The driver thought for a while: "By the way, there is a village on the side of the Meishe River with Pailou Lane, but it is called Yongjia Village, which is more than 40 kilometers away." ”

Hearing the driver's words, the madman's self-confidence just now gradually wavered, whether it was Yong or Ding himself was not sure, after all, the doctor's writing was basically unclear, and finally decided to go and see first, at least there was an archway alley.

"Let's go, master, go to the village you said, the money is not bad for you."

The location of the village is very remote, and there is almost no paved road at the end, and when the taxi arrives at Yongjia Village, the madman is about to fall apart. The madman stood at the entrance of the village and moved his muscles for a while, the sun was already in the west, and as far as the eye could see, there were rows of neat bungalows, and two old men were playing chess together under the willow tree at the entrance of the village. The madman walked over and glanced at the chessboard, and the red side obviously had the advantage, so he gently patted the red side on the shoulder: "Uncle, I want to ask you something, how to get to No. 1 Pailou Lane?" ”

The uncle was indifferent to the words of the madman, probably because he couldn't understand Mandarin.

Not far from the entrance of the village is the village monument, which only has three big red characters of "Yongjia Village", and does not indicate other information about the village.

Continuing from the village monument is a huge archway, which looks like it has been around for some years. The madman walked through the archway and stopped in front of the first house and glanced at the stone slab on the wall: No. 2 Archway Lane.

The madman walked all the way from the entrance of the alley to the end of the alley and found that all the house numbers in the entire archway alley were even, starting from No. 2 to ending at No. 106.

The madman thought to himself, "Why are there only even numbers?" Could it be that the singular number is taboo in this village, so the singular number is skipped when writing house numbers? ”

The sun had set, the sky had turned gray, smoke had begun to rise in the village, and every house had begun to prepare dinner, but there was no one in the streets. The madman smelled the smell of rice, and his stomach began to rumble. Because he was busy investigating Ding Ning's affairs, he didn't bother to eat at noon, and now his stomach began to protest.

The madman looked at the house next to him, although there is also Pailou Lane but there is no No. 1, it looks like there should be a Dingjia Village. The madman decided to go back to the hotel first, fill his stomach, take a hot bath, get a good night's sleep, and find a way to continue inquiring tomorrow.

When they walked to the entrance of the village, the two uncles were still sitting under the willow tree. The madman leaned over and saw that Black had the upper hand, and that the pieces captured by Red when entering the village had returned to the board and appeared to have started the game again.

The madman relied on his memory to go back the way he came. After walking for a while, there was a "buzzing" sound around me, and a few large bags were scattered on the madman's arm.

In the past, madmen had heard that mosquitoes in Hainan were powerful, and there was also a kind of insect called "mosquito ghost" by the locals that sucked blood, and now I finally experienced it. The madman looked at the red and swollen arm, gave up the idea of walking back, and remembered that the nearest town had to be 20 kilometers away when he came, and it was estimated that he would be sucked dry on the way before walking back, and finally decided to go back to the village to see if he could find a family to spend the night.

Back at the entrance of the village, the two masters under the tree were still playing chess, the madman was standing next to him and couldn't see the chessboard clearly, and he could barely see the chess pieces vaguely when he got closer, the battle on the chessboard was much more tragic than when the madman just left, and the red chess pieces were almost slaughtered, leaving only a few chess pieces near the Nine Palaces still lingering.

It was already completely dark, and the road in the village was uneven, and after walking for a while, the madman realized that there was no light in the whole village. Normally, at this time, every household should have turned on the lights, but now the whole village is pitch black, as if there is no one left.
