Chapter 4: The Living Dead
I was really too impulsive to think about it now, and the bald man was not alone.
Just five seconds after I threw my fist, I was already being pinned to the ground, and I don't remember much about what happened next, except that I felt a sharp pain all over my body, and with a buzz in my head, I soon lost consciousness.
……
"Dididi~"
I don't know how long it took, but I was woken up by a machine sound, and when I opened my eyes, it was dark again, and I didn't feel anything other than pain.
"Eleven, you're awake. Don't move, the corner of your eye is injured and needs treatment. A nice female voice came, it was the voice of the second girl.
I coughed lightly and tried to speak, "Erniu, are you okay?" Your mother..."
Hearing my voice, the second girl was a little hoarse, and it was difficult to speak, so she immediately took my hand and shook it and said, "My mother is fine, just a little bruised, and she has gone back." I'm fine. It scared the hell out of me yesterday, thank you so much. ”
As soon as I heard that Erniu's mother was fine, I almost fell out of bed in fright, but my injuries did not allow me to do so, so I could only express my surprise in a trembling voice: "What, Aunt Zhu is fine!" ”
"yes, what's wrong? Look at you as if you want her to have an accident, hum, it's you, why do you beat someone for no reason, fortunately, the other party doesn't care, but you have to pay for the medical expenses. Luckily, I still have some scholarships here, so I think it will be enough. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the money to come here for medical treatment. The second girl said angrily, but her tone was obviously mixed with worry, and there was not much accusation.
I tried to calm down and reminisce about the situation.
When I checked Aunt Zhu's injuries by myself, although she was covered in blood, it seemed that it was indeed only an extracutaneous abrasion, and she was not a professional, so she might not have found the right pulse on her neck. However, Aunt Zhu's face will never deceive, her life is black, this is a dead appearance, I can't be wrong, it's impossible!
"Erniu, your mother is fine, when is it now, and when will I be discharged from the hospital?" I suppressed the doubts in my heart and asked directly.
"You, don't worry about this, the doctor said, you are only a skin injury, you can be discharged from the hospital in a day or two at most, and now the bandages you are bandaged are placed in the ointment to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, pain and swelling, which will help you recover as soon as possible." Okay, lie down, I'll get you something to eat, you've been in a coma for half the night, and it's exactly 6 o'clock in the morning. After the second girl said these words, there was a sound of footsteps and the door closing, she should have gone out.
"Hehe, it's 6 o'clock in the morning again, it seems that my biological clock can wake me up even in a coma, I really don't know what to say." Thinking so, I plan to close my eyes and take a nap, and wait for the second girl to come back and ask about last night's incident in detail.
Erniu came back quickly, I heard the sound of the door closing, and immediately turned my head habitually to look over, tried to make a smile and said, "Erniu, what, have you already prepared breakfast?" Hey. ”
But to my surprise, it was an unfamiliar voice. "Eleven, my grandfather asked me to come and see you, fortunately you didn't have an accident, but I really didn't expect you to wake up so soon. I met the doctor outside just now and said you won't wake up until at least the afternoon. ”
I was a little confused, and after listening to the other party's words, I asked, "Uncle, who are you?" Went to the wrong ward! ”
"Haha, Eleven, blame me, blame me, I'm Master Xu's housekeeper, just call me Uncle Chen. In this way, I will come back in the evening, rest assured, the hospitalization fee has been settled for you, you don't have to worry about this, I'm leaving, see you in the evening. ”
The middle-aged man named Uncle Chen seemed to be very invisible, or his personality was so informal, and he left here after a few simple words, and he didn't bring any condolences to his voice.
As the sound of the door closing, I sighed, closed my eyes again, and after a burst of confusion in my mind, the mantra for practicing qi art popped out on its own.
"Huh? I actually ran it on my own, this mantra is okay, let me concentrate on it. ”
A warm current began to circulate around me, and I could feel it, albeit slightly.
Just when I was still thinking about whether the close-fitting plaster on the bandage promoted the circulation of my qi practice or something, Erniu really came back.
A burst of laughter like a silver bell entered the ward, bringing me the good news that I had known for a long time.
"Eleven, our hospitalization fee has been paid in advance, and it is the two big men who beat people. They weren't too embarrassed to come to see you, they just lingered outside the door, so scared that I thought they were here for revenge! ”
"Oh? Are they outside the door? "I wondered in my heart, didn't the middle-aged man who called himself Uncle Chen say that he paid the medical expenses in advance, could it be...
"Uh-huh, it's gone now. It turned out that the owner of the Wangcai antique shop and the group of people who came to rescue me were in the same group, uh, it doesn't seem appropriate to say that, but they are together. I told me that I felt guilty after injuring my own person, so I paid for the medical bills in advance. By the way, Eleven, what is the relationship between you and their boss Xu Fu, those two big men seem to be a little jealous when they mention your name? ”
The second girl moved a small bench, sat down next to me, helped me sit up straight, and began to feed me wontons.
"Oh... My grandfather... Helped him... A little favor... This is not... I'm munching on the ravioli, the meat is not too much, almost all the skin, but it tastes good.
"No wonder, Grandpa Hu is so powerful, he actually knows such a big person." The second girl said to herself.
Hearing Erniu say this, I became interested again, I went to their house yesterday to check Xu Fu's information, and Erniu actually knew something about it, so it was better to ask by the way.
Hearing me ask about Xu Fu's origin and background, Erniu slapped me in the chest angrily, and then whispered in my ear.
It turned out that Xu Fu was originally a foreigner, and he was doing an antique shop business here, and he didn't know where to pour a batch of dark artifacts and became famous. Of course, at that time, in response to the national policy, it is said that the batch of artifacts were handed over to the state, for which the local government also gave great commendation, and vigorously supported his local business, since then his antique shop has become a leading enterprise in the Xijing area, and later started a jewelry business, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to make money every day.
"What a coincidence! But aren't all antiques fake? No one checks him for selling fakes? I asked.
"What a fake, an antique, of course, is both fake and real. If you want to believe it, it's true, if you don't believe it, it's true and it's fake, not to mention that people's reputation is so good, it's famous all over the country. The second girl said with envy.
The two chatted, and it was more than an hour later after breakfast.
I don't know if it's the medicine in the hospital or the effect of my qi practice, when I lie on the bed again, my body obviously doesn't feel any pain, I asked Erniu to call the nurse to change the bandage for me, at least get the eyes off. It's too much of a hindrance to be pestered like this.
The second girl was also obedient, and when she saw that I was really fine, she pressed the pager to call the nurse at the nurse's desk.
The nurse was an old aunt, but after patiently asking me about my physical condition, she still helped me remove the bandage on my head, and even called me a patient she had seen her injuries improve so quickly.
"Hehe, probably because I have been in good health since I was a child, and I don't use enough antibiotics, so the effect of the medicine is well absorbed." I can only answer like this, if I talk about practicing qi or something, maybe I will be discharged from the hospital here, and I will have to be admitted to the psychiatric hospital again.
Erniu was invited out of the ward, and after two more nurses came in, the three of them worked together to help me remove the bandages on my body, and put some simple plasters on me, and then informed me to observe for another day today, and I can be discharged from the hospital early tomorrow morning without any special circumstances.
I actually wanted to be discharged from the hospital immediately, but I had to listen to the nurse's words, not to mention that I didn't spend my own money to live here, so I accepted it with humility.
After the three nurses went out, Erniu and Aunt Zhu walked in together, and I observed that Aunt Zhu was wearing a hood, her face was not very good, and she was pulled by Erniu with a little reluctance.
"Eleven, look, I'll just say I didn't lie to you, my mother has been in good health, and that abrasion has long healed." The second girl happily took Aunt Zhu to sit at the head of my bed, and opened Aunt Zhu's arm to show me.
I couldn't see Aunt Zhu's face clearly when I sat on the bed, she was still facing me sideways, but looking at her exposed arms, there were only a faint blood scabs on them, and the injury was indeed fine. But... She gave me a very uncomfortable feeling.
"Eleven? Why don't you speak, is there any problem? The second girl obviously felt that I was looking at Aunt Zhu's eyes wrong, but she couldn't say why, so she asked.
I coughed lightly a few times and returned: "Oh, there's no problem, maybe Aunt Zhu is wearing a hood, which makes me feel a little strange, hehe, it's the first time I've seen her wear such an elderly hood." ”
"You don't know that the sun is very strong outside, my mother just came from the store to see you, don't you don't know the hearts of good people," Erniu said angrily, patted Aunt Zhu's shoulder again, and continued: "Mom, let's do it here." You said I was right. ”
"Hehe, what the second girl said is right, my mother is old, and she suffered a little cold last night, and the doctor said to let me pay attention to keeping warm. Eleven, don't be surprised. ”
I listened to Aunt Zhu's slightly hoarse voice, and watched her move and be helped by the second girl to sit opposite, and I was shocked again.
There is no other reason, because, I saw her face!
Aunt Zhu's life is full of black gas, which has been extremely thick, her eyes are also dim, half of her ears are exposed, but I can also see the folds on them, and her eyebrows, although she has slightly modified them with eyebrow dye, but my eyes are excellent, and I can see the lines on them at a glance.
The life gate, the longevity officer, and the listening officer all showed their dead faces, this must be a dead man!
