Chapter 154: The Bloody Road on the Sea
Dr. Liu remained in a coma.
After two bags of blood, he was out of danger. Ah Jin and I disinfected his wounds and then applied the medicine that Dr. Liu had given me earlier.
I stood up and found that the wound on my thigh had largely healed. It seems that his medicine is really effective, and it is estimated that Dr. Liu will slowly recover in two days.
Ah Jin took out some loose money from his pocket and handed it to me—it was left over from the shopping process.
"Go buy something to eat." I said to him.
He nodded and walked away.
"Oh yes, buy him some porridge, he can't eat hard things yet." I continued.
Ah Jin glanced back at me, grimaced and ran away, like a child.
After a while, he returned, and in addition to bringing back a bag of food, he also bought a towel and a few bottles of mineral water.
Ah Jin opened the cap of the mineral water bottle, sprinkled the water on the towel, and prepared to wipe Dr. Liu's face.
"You ......," I glared at him.
"What's wrong?" Ah Jin looked innocent.
"Alas...... Never mind. "When I saw the mineral water, I remembered that in the dungeon, that mineral water was as important to me as life.
Don't blame him, he's also kind, he's busy, and he should be thanked.
……
We had dinner, fed Dr. Liu some porridge, and then lay down to rest.
I looked at the cement slabs and moss on the flyover, in a daze.
"Ah Jin, do you like your life now?"
Ah Jin lay beside me, his face and hair dirty, and from time to time he emitted a foul smell.
"How so...... As long as it's your own life, go on. He muttered.
My heart fluttered.
Yes, as long as it is the life you choose, you have to go on...... How true it is, life is like this, there is nothing to like or dislike, many times you can only accept it, or continue.
Ah Jin didn't seem to want to tell me his story, don't go over it.
"Thank you today...... Ah Jin. I said to him.
He smiled and touched his dark nose with his hand.
"I didn't expect you to know how to transfuse blood...... You should still know a lot of things, in fact, it's good for you to return to society, you can find a stable job with your own hands. I couldn't help but say.
"Don't tell me this!" Ah Jin's face suddenly changed.
My heart tightened. Did you talk about his sore spots? Forget it, don't ask about this, since he has chosen such a wandering life, it is his own decision, and others may not be able to understand it.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.
After a long time, I thought he was asleep, and was about to close his eyes to sleep, but Ah Jin spoke.
"When she left, she wrote me a poem, and I remember every line." He muttered, his eyes foggy.
I know that what he just said reminded him of the past.
"What kind of poem?" I asked.
Ah Jin slowly recited:
"The city
Leave too many of our footprints
Everywhere you go
There are memories
It's so sweet to recall
So beautiful
So warm as ever......"
……
"What a romantic poem, was it written by your girlfriend?" I can't help but ask.
"Separated......" Ah Jin's eyes were full of tears.
"You chose to wander because of this love?" I looked at him.
He nodded, his expression pained.
"Why separate?" I asked.
Ah Jin was silent.
I stopped saying a word, silently watching the sky in the distance, slowly becoming darker.
Night fell again.
……
"It's because I love it so much, so I separate." Ah Jin suddenly burst out.
"Love it so much? Then together, why separate? Only if you don't love will you separate...... I don't understand. I said.
"We are separated, but our love is still hidden deep in our hearts, blessings and missing each other, although we can't meet, we know that we are all thinking about each other, worrying about each other......" he muttered, tears streaming down his face.
"Why?" I still don't understand.
"If you don't understand, it proves that you haven't really loved. Love is selfish, but the greater love is selfless...... Have it, but can't always have it...... Letting go will make the other person better and happier...... This is my story with her......" Ah Jin wiped tears with his dirty hands.
"Okay. Thank you for trusting me so much, tell me about it......" I don't want to ask again.
Ah Jin was silent for a long time, and I saw that his expression was very painful, and my heart tightened.
A night breeze blew.
I turned around and saw Dr. Liu's face and touched his body, and I suddenly felt a very solid feeling...... It's finally back, scarred, but no matter what, we can continue to fight side by side......
I suddenly remembered that time, he was suddenly taken away, and then I instantly fell into extreme hesitation and helplessness, and after a while, he also came back scarred...... Slowly I recovered and taught me so much knowledge and skills......
But this time, I don't know...... Will he be able to stride through it?
I looked into his closed eyes and touched his arm.
Those damn mosquitoes, who seem to be particularly fond of people with blood on them, desperately focused on Dr. Liu, and I picked up a piece of paper and kept driving them away.
Ah Jin wiped away his tears, turned around, took out a mosquito repellent from the shopping bag he had brought back, and handed it to me.
I looked at him gratefully and thought: this guy has such a small heart.
I applied mosquito repellent to Dr. Liu, applied some myself, and then lay down and went to sleep.
It was about four or five o'clock in the morning when I woke up.
The sprinkler truck in the street was busy working, wetting the ground of several nearby streets, drenching the flowers and plants next to it, and then stopped under the overpass, and the driver got down to smoke and kick the flowers in boredom.
I got up quietly and didn't alarm Ah Jin.
Doctor Liu was still like that, I touched under his nose, his breath was very even, and I walked away with peace of mind.
I realized that my thigh injury was almost healed and I could even run, so I ran away.
At four or five o'clock in the morning, the sky is still dark, and the dim street lamps are still singing the protagonist. There are hardly many vehicles left on the road...... I ran along the seaside road next to the overpass, blowing the sea breeze.
The salty, slightly fishy sea breeze disrupted the early hours of the city, and it also made me wake up a lot more immediately. One by one, the street lights were overtaken by me, and I suddenly remembered those days of running laps to warm up...... Three hundred and sixty-five circles, one annual ring.
In a dark house, count as you run...... Remain fresh in one's memory.
My speed was getting faster and faster, and the sweat was starting to run down.
As I ran, my mind kept coming back to the clips of those trainings, those fighting moves, those days of repetition and gritting of teeth...... The faster I ran, the more blurred I saw the seaside......
I ran tirelessly, into the distance, into the depths of my heart...... The place where the blood was dripping.
I don't know how long I ran, but finally, I stopped out of breath and walked slowly.
Suddenly, I looked up and saw the majestic building, and under the shadow of the street lamp, I could vaguely see the big words: Haimei Building.
I straightened up and stared intently at the words.
After a long time, I bit my lip and walked over.
The glass doors of the building were closed, and through the dim light, I could see that in the lobby, there was a security guard sleeping at the front desk.
According to what Dr. Liu taught me, I observed the monitoring positions, memorized each situation, and imprinted the layout of the entire lobby in my brain.
……
I went back to where I had just been and walked slowly back along the beach.
In the distance, a faint trace of blood began to appear, and several fishing boats on the seashore, "Tata Tower", ...... The motor was started and ready to set sail.
I gritted my teeth and looked at the blood in the sky.
Walking onto the footbridge, I stopped. The number of vehicles on the road began to increase, and I looked at the Haimei Building in the distance, standing by the sea, extremely majestic, like a man's sexual organs.
The blood on the horizon began to expand, and in less than a moment, the entire trembling blood ball climbed up and shot on the surface of the sea, reflecting a sword-like blood path......
The constant stream of vehicles appeared right under my nose, and the bustling crowd began to repeat what had been done yesterday. My eyes were bloodshot as I stared at the building in the distance.
I was on the floor of the pedestrian bridge, and I started doing push-ups, doing hundreds of them in one go, and then I practiced those martial arts skills, and I practiced the whole set of movements several times, and I was whirring.
An hour passed, and I stopped.
Only then did I realize that the overpass had become crowded. There are those who sell breakfast, set up stalls, and practice Tai Chi...... I simply sat down and prepared to start training in the observation technique taught by Dr. Liu.
After a while, groups of people came from the pedestrian staircase, some of them hurried, some unhurried, some carrying bags, some carrying briefcases...... I looked at everyone who passed in front of me, analyzing their age, occupation, and mood today.
My eyes are like eagle eyes and I don't miss a single detail. After more than an hour of training like this, about eight o'clock, I bought some breakfast and went back to the junkyard under the flyover.
Ah Jin was still sleeping, and he seemed reluctant to get out of bed. Dr. Liu's lips were moving, he was probably thirsty, so I quickly raised his head, fed him some water, and then fed him some breakfast.
Suddenly, Ah Jin opened his eyes and looked behind me with a look of horror!
