Chapter 4: A Strange Diary
Thinking of this, I quietly moved half a step to the side, trying to keep myself calm, now I can't believe anyone, the first thing to do is to determine as soon as possible who is the real takeaway brother among these two "people".
But I can't just ask, my brain is spinning, and I suddenly have an idea.
"Did you take the Baipi knife that you gave you last time?" I lowered my voice and pretended to be serious.
He turned his head to look at me, his eyes looking a little strange.
"Take out the knife, now you can only rely on this knife!" I pretended to be in a hurry.
"Oh no, I forgot to bring it!"
He lowered his voice and replied, his eyes looking very regretful.
"Hey, isn't it?" I pointed behind him.
As soon as he turned his head, I slammed the door open and rushed out.
I never knew what a hundred knives were, and I made up the name!
rushed out of the door and saw that the takeaway guy was still curled up in the corner and shivering, and his whole body was like sifting chaff.
"Run!"
I ran over and grabbed him by the arm and rushed out of the room, but I had just run two steps when I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
How can there be no weight?
Hey!
At this time, I suddenly heard a cold laugh from behind me, turned my head to look, but saw the takeaway guy standing behind me, with gauze wrapped around his head, I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I could see that his whole person was suspended in mid-air!
I let out a frightened scream, spread my hands and rushed frantically towards the corridor, and then my feet were empty, my whole body lost its center of gravity, and I fell to the ground with a thud.
Then I saw the two "takeaway guys" appear in front of me at the same time, laughing and approaching me step by step.
And my whole body was no longer obedient, as if I was bound by something, I couldn't move if I wanted to, I couldn't make a sound when I wanted to shout.
"Is this what you just said?"
One of the "delivery boys" suddenly pulled out a black machete from behind him, his tone became hideous, and then slashed at the top of my head......
Whewβ
I finally shouted and straightened up, only to find myself sitting on the bed, with several doctors in white coats standing next to me, staring at me with strange eyes.
"You're finally awake." A doctor takes off his mask and exhales softly.
And I was confused, "This ...... Where is this? β
"Emergency room." The doctor replied, "You've been in a coma for eight hours." β
Emergency room?
I looked around, and it was indeed a ward, surrounded by many medical monitoring instruments, and the glass door also had three red letters written on it.
I pinched my face hard, it hurt......
It doesn't seem like a dream, but how did I get to the emergency room when I was so good?
I quickly asked the doctor what was the matter, and the doctor looked at me and said that I had just entered the hospital and suddenly fainted at the door, and then I was sent here.
I banged my head hard, my mind was a mess, I only remembered that I had been to the hospital, but I couldn't remember when I had fainted.
"You're fine, go and pay the fee, you usually pay more attention to rest, young people nowadays just don't pay too much attention to their bodies."
The doctor next to me said a word, and I felt that my mind was chaotic, and I walked out the door in a trance, and I always felt that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute."
The doctor stopped me suddenly, then pointed to a bag on the table next to me, "You forgot something." β
I looked into the bag and saw that there were two bunches of grapes inside, and when I looked again, one of them was much less, and there were some grape skins stuck to the bag, which looked quite fresh.
I was stunned for a moment, my mind suddenly buzzed, and I hurriedly ran towards the inpatient department with my bag.
The emergency room doctor couldn't have stolen my grapes, and I remember vividly that both bunches were still intact when I first bought them.
And I suddenly remembered that in the "dream" just now, the takeaway boy ate grapes with a bandage on his head......
I rushed to the ward in the "dream", the more I went back, the more I felt wrong, I came to the inpatient department for the first time, but the surrounding environment was extremely familiar, including the location of the nurse service station, it was exactly the same as in my previous "dream"!
And when I rushed into the room, I was dumbfounded......
The furnishings in the ward, the half-drawn curtains, the two magazines on the table, the red kettle under the bedside table......
Everything is exactly the same as the scene in the "dream" just now!
I just didn't see any trace of the takeaway brother, but I saw a few strange men and women packing up inside, and one of the middle-aged men saw me and asked me what was wrong.
"Excuse me...... Where is Zheng Dong? β
Zheng Dong is the name of the takeaway brother.
The middle-aged man sighed softly, "It's gone, it's ...... to leave this morning"
"What!"
I only felt like my head had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and I stayed in place for a long time before I hurriedly asked, "He...... He...... What time did he leave and what the hell happened......"
I know it's rude to ask this kind of question at this time, but I don't have any other way now, and I feel like I've been scratched by a cat.
Several family members next to me looked a little unhappy, but the middle-aged man glanced at me and asked me who I was, and I quickly said that I was a friend of Zheng Dong.
Then he motioned for me to go outside in the corridor to talk, and we sat on the bench in the doorway, and I handed me a cigarette, and he waved his hand and said no, and his face looked very haggard.
"I'm Zheng Dong's cousin."
After a while, he sighed softly, lowered his head and said, "Last night I went out with him to buy cigarettes, and when I was crossing the street, a big truck suddenly hit me, he reacted quickly and pushed me away, but he ...... himself."
At this, he suddenly paused, and his voice became choked.
I hurriedly handed over a tissue, patiently waited for him to calm down, and then listened to him continue: "His skull was cracked, I hurriedly called an ambulance, and when I arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that he was not seriously injured, bandaged it, and sent it to the ward and said that he was hospitalized for observation, and he was fine at night, but I didn't expect that we just went down to have breakfast this morning, and when we came up, I saw that he was ......."
I squeezed my thighs hard, trying to keep myself calm, "Do you remember when he left?" β
The middle-aged man shook his head, "I don't know, but I remember that when we came back from breakfast, it was around seven o'clock, and he was already gone......"
Cold sweat was pouring out of my head, and if it weren't for the things I've experienced for a while, I'm afraid I'd have to pee out on the spot at this time.
I clearly remember that when I called Zheng Dong this morning, it was around half past seven, if everything that happened just now was a dream, but when I called in the morning, I clearly heard Zheng Dong's voice!
Suddenly, I thought of something again, and quickly flipped through the call record, and found that the record of the call with Zheng Dong this morning had disappeared!
I gasped for air, feeling like I was being pressed against a big rock in my chest, and I panicked.
Who am I calling this morning?
Who ate the half bunch of grapes in the bag?
Was the scene I experienced in this ward a dream before?
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and just when I was almost crazy, I suddenly heard a voice next to me, "Hey, who's that, why are you here?" β
I looked up and saw that it was a young nurse, looked at me and said, "I can't find you everywhere, you haven't completed the formalities yet, go and pay the fee, by the way, what's your name, I want to register here." β
I took a deep breath, watched the nurse say my name, and got up to pay.
"Wait a minute!"
As soon as I got up, the middle-aged man called me from behind, and I turned my head and asked him if there was anything wrong.
"Your name is Zhang Zhanhao?" He looked at me and asked, his eyes a little surprised.
I nodded, not knowing why he reacted this way.
"You wait a minute!"
He looked quite anxious, and quickly got up and entered the ward, and after a while, he walked out with a piece of paper in his hand, handed it to me, and said, "This is what Zheng Dong asked me to hand over to you." β
"Handed it to me?" I looked at him in amazement.
He nodded, "He gave it to me when I went downstairs to buy cigarettes last night, saying that if I met a person named Zhang Zhanhao, I would give him this piece of paper." β
I was confused, but I took the piece of paper, and at first glance, it looked like a diary, and the contents were very strange:
The streets are full of gold. Countless people take the car to Sichuan to see the sea. Wild dogs cooking on the trail. There was a large rock floating in the water. Four stars fell from the sky.
The date of payment reads: 2/29/18.
The handwriting is very beautiful, but I can't understand the content at all, it feels messy, and the date of payment is not right, and now it's August, why is it still written in February?
I asked the middle-aged man when he wrote this piece of paper, and he shook his head and said he didn't know, but just said let me give this to a person named Zhang Zhanhao.
On the way back, I have been thinking about this, but I don't understand the meaning of the above, I feel that the content is ridiculous, gold can't be all over the streets, there is no sea in Sichuan, and as for the dog cooking, the big stone floating on the water is even more outrageous.
And the date is not right, I also deliberately flipped through the calendar, this year's February is not the 29th at all.
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, but one thing was certain, since Zheng Dong specially told me to hand over this piece of paper, there must be something hidden in it.
I carefully put the paper away, it was getting dark, and I just heard from the doctor that I had been in a coma in the emergency room for more than eight hours, which was a little incredible.
When I got home, I saw that the door was open, and I quickly pushed it open, and found the old man sitting on the sofa, looking at me strangely and asking, "Why did you come back so soon after buying cigarettes?" β
I was a little dazed, looked at him and said, "Buy cigarettes? When did I buy cigarettes? β
The old man looked a little unhappy, "Just as we were chatting, you suddenly said that you wanted to go down to buy cigarettes, there are obviously no cigarettes on this table, and I don't know what you are tossing......"
