Chapter Ninety-Seven: See You Again
I decided that I wanted to go to the back mountain behind my hometown village to have a look, not to find anything, but at least to take a look at it, so that I could calm down.
On the trip to the Huyang River, although I was extra 100,000 careful and wanted to protect the lives of the other three people, my ability alone was limited after all, and in the end, Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten had accidents. This time, it is still the same as the previous two times, they are lucky and can "come back to life", but I always feel that the current situation is different from before, the blind man who is responsible for guarding the abyss of Danmeng has been transferred out by Lu Fangding, which shows that even Lu Fangding himself is a little unable to control the situation. I don't believe that Zhang Momo and the others will always have good luck, once something unexpected happens, then everything will be over.
They can "come back to life" three or five times, or even ten or eight times, but as long as there is one deviation and mistake, it is equivalent to a catastrophe. I don't want to risk their lives anymore until I have to.
The back mountain is not far from here, so you don't need to bring too many things, and going to the back mountain is purely to check the situation, so you don't need everyone to go. After thinking about it for a while, I thought it would be okay for me to go over with Lao Wang this time.
I washed my face, then saved some of the cash and transferred it to Lao Wang and Zhang Momo respectively. As soon as the money turned around, Lao Wang called, obviously very happy, and praised me for being a kind person. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I told Lao Wang to prepare for a few days and go for a walk in the mountains.
"Departure again? Just the two of us? "Lao Wang is the kind of person who can't suffer, and when he hears my words, he is a little unhappy.
"The action will be dangerous, have you forgotten about Zhang Momo and Xiao Mao being transferred?" I have pinched Lao Wang's weakness, and I don't force him at all: "If you don't think about the safety of the two of them, it's up to you." ”
As soon as the matter involved Zhang Momo's safety, Lao Wang was very concerned and agreed to come down. I told him that the place I was going to this time was not far away, in the mountains behind my old village, and it would definitely not be too long.
After talking to Lao Wang, I called Zhang Momo again, and she was the one who pulled the line from the Pingxiang Psychiatric Hospital, and I still wanted to go to see the mentally ill person, so I had to go with Zhang Momo.
"Okay, let's have a meal together in the evening, and I just want to talk to you after dinner."
"What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk while we're eating." Zhang Momo didn't know what he wanted to say, anyway, he didn't want to speak now, and he had to talk about it after they met.
I made up for sleep, and when it was almost time for dinner in the afternoon, I met with Zhang Momo.
I think that Zhang Momo always had a kind of confusion or doubt in his eyes when he looked at me. The four of us were born and died repeatedly, and Zhang Momo's suspicions about me should have been dispelled. The suspicion in her look may not be directed at me.
The two of us ate and were silent for a long time. I felt that this atmosphere was quite depressing, so I said a few words of gossip to Zhang Momo.
"I ask you, do you believe in reincarnation?"
"Reincarnation?" I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because I did have a sense that what I was going through now had been experienced by several people before.
"I've had a dream more than once." Zhang Momo put down his chopsticks and said: "I dreamed that I have always been walking on the same road, doing the same thing, going to the same place, there is no beginning and no end, the cycle repeats, and it never stops." ”
"It's just a dream, it's a dream, it doesn't mean anything."
"Nope." Zhang Momo suddenly lowered her head, and when she raised her head again, there was suddenly a sadness in her eyes: "That's fate, my fate." ”
I didn't know what to say all of a sudden, although she and Ning Xiaomei forgot that memory during the three "resurrections", Zhang Momo still noticed a clue. I can't explain it to her, and if I hadn't kept it a secret from her at the beginning, telling her about her death and her resurrection, I wouldn't have to hide it now.
I finally believed that once a lie is told, then there are countless lies that have to be made up to create a balance.
Zhang Momo only has her own feelings, and there is no substantial evidence to prove what reincarnation and fate she is talking about. I gave her a bit of a materialistic education, and in the end, I don't know if she was in a better mood, but our conversation shifted to the mentally ill.
After eating, Zhang Momo took me to Pingxiang, and she had already contacted Lao Meng in advance. When we arrived at the hospital, Lao Meng came out to greet him and was very enthusiastic.
Zhang Momo talked to Lao Meng, I was wearing a mask and didn't talk much. In this place, I have to maintain a sense of mystery, and I must not let Lao Meng see my appearance, if he does, maybe Lao Meng will also have to be hospitalized.
Zhang Momo asked about the patient's condition, and Lao Meng didn't say it too clearly, but I could feel that the patient was not getting better. Generally, patients like this come to the hospital when they are sick and stay for ten days and half a month, and they have to be picked up by their families. Because Zhang Momo left a message and paid part of the treatment fee, the patient was able to stay here for a long time. Lao Meng spit out bitterness, anyway, it was not easy to keep this patient, and he wanted Zhang Momo to remember his favor.
After chatting for a while, we went to the back ward to see the patient. Because of the relationship between Zhang Momo, Lao Meng specially explained that the patient's ward has been relatively clean and has been well cared for.
Through the window of the ward, I saw the patient sitting on the bed in a daze, with his back to the door and window, as he had last seen him. The hospital gown on his body was very clean, and the sheets and pillowcases may have just been changed, but his hair was messy, and he didn't know who cut his hair, like a dog.
Lao Meng said that this patient is usually very worry-free, does not look for trouble, eats what he gives and drinks when he is given, but he just does not pay attention to personal hygiene. When I washed my face and hair, I was quite resistant, and three or five nurses couldn't hold it down. He has been wandering outside for a long time, and he has been sent to the hospital for a while, his hair is very long, and Lao Meng is also afraid that Zhang Momo will give advice when he comes to visit, so he asks someone to give the patient a haircut. The patient resisted fiercely, and in the end he could only hurriedly cut a few random cuts.
"Is there any chance healed?" Zhang Momo looked outside for a while, then turned his head and asked Lao Meng.
"Difficult." Lao Meng shook his head and said: "He is not the kind of intermittent disease, his state has not changed, we are here, it is still control-oriented, and there is a lack of funds and professional backbones in terms of treatment, and there are many difficulties." ”
"Old Meng, I know your difficulties." Zhang Momo said that he understood Lao Meng very well and said, "Let's go in and see him." ”
The previous time Zhang Momo and I both entered the ward, and there was no accident, so this time Lao Meng was very happy, opened the door and let us in, and ran out to smoke by himself.
Zhang Momo and I walked in front of the patient, but the patient still stared out the window blankly, not squinting, as if he didn't know that someone had come in, and couldn't see us at all.
However, there are some things that I still know in my heart. The last time I came to see him, he said to me that if you meet a team, no matter how strange it is, you must follow them. I didn't understand it at the time, but as soon as I reached the old way of the Poplar River, his words were fulfilled, and it was because of the phantom of the caravan reflected by the yellow quartz that I found the caravan buried under the dust.
What does this mean? There is no doubt that this patient had also been to the old road of the Poplar River and had found the caravan.
For a moment, I remembered what Zhang Momo had said to me just now when he was eating. Many things are like a reincarnation, the same place, the same people, the same experience.
"Can you still remember the past? Like, where are you from? Where is your home? Is there anyone else in the family? Zhang Momo tentatively talked to the other party, wanting to ask about something.
But the patient has lived here for so long, just like Lao Meng said, it doesn't seem to have any improvement, and he has turned a deaf ear to Zhang Momo's words.
Zhang Momo asked a few times, but he didn't get an answer, and he felt very bored, so he hugged his arms and stopped talking.
As I did last time, I stood in front of the patient and bent down slightly so that our eyes could be at eye level with each other.
"About half a year ago, there was a group of people who kept chasing you, do you remember?"
My question should have been more irritating than Zhang Momo's, and when I asked it, the patient's dull eyes seemed to move, and he looked at me obliquely.
Since he has reacted, it means that my question has worked. I patiently continued to ask, "Can you still remember?" ”
"They can't catch up with me." The patient suddenly grinned stupidly: "Can't catch up with me." ”
"Yes, they won't be able to catch up with you, you're faster than them." As soon as I saw that the other party was willing to answer, and the answer was quite organized, I immediately came to my senses and guided him to continue: "Why are they chasing you? ”
"Why are you chasing me......"
"yes, why are they chasing you? Is it because, what do you have? What do they want from you? ”
"I'm rich......" The patient grinned again, and there was a silly look in his smile, even if people who didn't know him saw his smile at this time, they could know that this was a delirious madman.
I was about to continue talking to him when the lights in the room suddenly went out. The lights in the wards are managed in a unified manner, and when it is time to go to bed at night, the power will be cut off collectively.
I felt that the light was suddenly dark, this atmosphere was not very good, and it would affect the patient's mood if it was not kept even, so I told Zhang Momo if I could discuss it with Lao Meng and turn on the light in this ward alone.
Zhang Momo went out to find Lao Meng, and took advantage of this opportunity to try to talk to the patient again.
As soon as the lights went out, it was dark in the house, except for a single ray of light from the street lamp outside the window. The patient sat here in a daze every day and looked out of the window, and the light of the street lamp happened to fall on his face.
"You ......" I patiently continued to speak, trying voice guidance, but the moment I saw the light of the street lamp falling on the patient's face, my pupils suddenly shrank, and a very strange emotion spread in my mind.
