Ch.7 A Thousand Ways to Kill (3)
I woke up early the next morning, dressed up and put on eyeliner. Usually busy with schoolwork, I am basically plain-faced, confident that although I am ugly, I am very gentle. Before leaving, I turned the blinds open, the weather outside was gloomy, and there was still a light snow, I wondered that the weather was not cold, and the snow should not accumulate, so I drove out.
After that, I went to refuel, and the tires were inflated, and I didn't know how to inflate and called someone to help, and it was delayed for almost an hour inside and out, and when I finally drove on the highway, the snow had already begun to fall. I usually only move around campus, and I rarely pay attention to the weather forecast, and I often go back to put on my clothes when I feel cold when I go out the door. I didn't know it at the time, it was the first heavy snowfall of the year in Rhode Island, a very big blizzard. And I've never driven in the snow, let alone on the highway.
The more I drove on the highway, the more I felt that something was wrong, everything in front of me began to blur, a white expanse, all the cars were moving slowly, feather-like snowflakes were falling in large patches, and there was chaos on the windshield. I turned on the wipers, only to find that it may have been useless for too long, I don't know if the wipers are dirty or the glass is dirty, but the more I brush, the more blurry it becomes, and I can't see the road clearly. My heart began to beat faster, and my whole body became nervous, but the more nervous I was, the more I felt that my hands could not control the steering wheel, and the car skidped, so I could only keep stepping on the brakes.
That day completely changed my love for snow, I had never seen snow so ugly, neither as soft as a muffin as I remember, nor as crystal clear as many people have described it. The snow fell to the ground, and the car ran over the gray-black tire marks, like ugly scars.
Suddenly, I only saw the windshield, along with the snow drifted over with a mass of things, a large black piece, as if it was scraped from a pickup truck in front, to block all the glass, I panicked, my brain didn't know how to control the hand, slammed the steering wheel, only to feel that the whole person followed the car in the world spinning, like a failed bumper car, completely out of rhythm. I screamed, only to feel a thud and everything froze. In the dimness, I only heard my phone ringing, but I couldn't answer it.
--
When Xia Zifeng rushed into the emergency room, I was sitting on the bed staring at my phone in a daze. It wasn't until I was sitting in the hospital that I had the time to open my phone to see who was looking for me in the snow just now. Then I saw three missed calls from Xia Zifeng and a text message, "Today's blizzard, don't go out, I'll take the train back to pick it up, wait for me at home." ”
When Xia Zifeng saw me, it didn't look like seeing a wounded person at all, and he rushed over with a fierce face, "Song Jiaqi, your brain let the exam be disabled, isn't it, such a big snowstorm, you drive a two-wheel drive mini."
Cooper on the high speed, you are such a dick, why don't you go to the Winter Olympics?! ”
Hey, it's true that my head is in the snow.
I blinked, frightened by his sudden reprimand, and my head was messy, and I didn't know what to say, "I, I didn't expect the snow to be so big, and I was afraid of delaying your business, so I hurried over." ”
"Won't you look at the weather forecast before you go out?" His tone softened a little, but there was still helplessness and anger in his expression.
"Doesn't it usually snows in January...... I didn't pay attention. ”
He saw that my voice was weak and there was still gauze on my head, but he finally lowered his voice, approached me, bent down, and looked at the wound on my forehead, "Does it hurt?" "I guess the whole person is miserable, and I'm afraid that the eyeliner has fallen to the lower eyelid and has completely turned into a panda, which should look quite strong.
"It hurts a little." I replied weakly.
"Anything else?" He straightened up and looked me up and down with his head down.
I shook my head, "I've checked it, it's all right, it's just that the glass broke and pierced me, and there were some skin injuries." ”
He let out a long breath and sat down next to me on the edge of the bed, "If something happens today, how will I live the rest of my life?" ”
As soon as I heard this, I felt a little stronger, and turned my head to look at him, "I, I'm so important to you?" ”
"Liao Xiangxiang will definitely scold me to death."
“……”
"It's nothing to do with you, it's what I insist on."
"It's me who is wrong, if I check the clip before leaving, it will be fine, even if I don't check it, if I insist on coming back to pick it up myself, it will be fine."
"Isn't it just as dangerous for you to come back?"
"Don't you know that there is another means of transportation in this world called a train?" Xia Zifeng sneered and shook his head.
"You called me today, I didn't answer, are you worried?" I'm still at this time, and I still have the leisure to care about this issue.
"Why don't you worry," he smiled bitterly, "if you hang up, no one will cook for you in the future." ”
I laughed, and my face cramped again from the pain.
"Is your wound big, will it leave a scar?"
"The doctor said it was fine, and the hair curtain was off and you couldn't see it."
"Well, that's good, anyway, you can't see people without a curtain on your face."
"I'm like this, you're still sarcastic about me, why do I like you."
"If you can't figure it out, don't like it anymore."
"I like tall men, like trees, who can protect me from any wind and rain, and I don't have to suffer anymore." For some reason, my nose suddenly became sore and my eyes filled with tears.
He sneered again, "Don't you know that you can't stand under a tree when it's raining?" ”
“……”
"I'm sorry, I'm not very good at telling jokes."
"Oh, so you're trying to tell a joke."
At this time, Liao Xiangxiang and Yu Xiaoyu rushed in together, and when they were at the door, they squeezed in together, almost so crowded that no one could get in. Behind them was Xia Ziyun, who was dressed in casual clothes.
"We came over as soon as we got the call, Qiqi, what are you doing," Xiangxiang looked crying, so anxious that tears were about to roll out.
I hurriedly hugged her, "I'm fine, just a little bruise, why did you come here with such a big snow?" ”
"I heard that you could still sit still when something happened, so I went to Ziyun to bring us over."
I looked up and saw Xia Ziyun, and suddenly a shiver said, "His Porsche is so expensive, on a snowy day, if it hits me, you can't afford it...... "Hey, I'm really worried."
"He borrowed an SUV from a friend, and it was secure." Xiangxiang hurriedly explained.
"Hey, you say you're true, can't you wait for tomorrow when the snow stops? I've already had an accident here, and you're driving in the snow and something, it's a serial murder......" I complained.
"Ziyun's driving skills are good, and he drove steadily all the way without slipping at all," Xiangxiang said with a smile, "You think it's your level that you don't dare to go in China!" ”
I just wanted to refute, but suddenly thought of Xiangxiang's car, and immediately felt ashamed, "Xiangxiang, I broke your mini, and the front of the car was sunk in, I don't know if it can be repaired, I'm sorry." "I thought about that poor little mini, and thought about how I was going to pay for it.
Xiangxiang hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, "What's there, isn't it just a car, anyway, there is insurance, and I will replace it with a new one when it is scrapped!" Xiangxiang smiled and comforted, "By the way, it's not just the New Year, it's a big deal, my dad wants a new car as a gift, it's okay!" I'm just worried about you, have you had a full body examination to make sure there are no internal injuries? A lot of internal bleeding is asymptomatic at first, and when it is discovered, it is too late, does the headache hurt? ”
I didn't have a lot of headaches, but I was asked by Xiangxiang and kept shaking, but now it starts to hurt.
Xiaoyu looked much calmer, and handed over a belt, "Hungry, I bought you a lobster roll on the way here." ”
"Ah, lobster," I snatched the bag from the sight of the food, and grabbed the bag, "where did you get it on this snowy day?" ”
Xia Ziyun leaned against the wall on the side, didn't say a word, and looked at us expressionlessly.
I was eating the lobster rolls they brought me, and I saw Xiangxiang stand up and walk in front of Xia Zifeng.
It can be said that I have known Xiangxiang for so long, and I know that she is the kind of white rabbit-type girl who has been robbed of money by others and has to ask the other party if she is enough, and I never think she will be angry.
But that day, she rounded her arm and gave Xia Zifeng a slap, and the sound was like a big stone falling from an empty valley, which shook the emergency department, and I suspected that seriously injured and unconscious patients could be woken up by this sound. Hey, Xiangxiang's hand must be so painful.
All of us were stunned, looking at Xiangxiang with our mouths half-open, even Xia Ziyun left the wall and straightened up, a little overwhelmed, and the nurse who had just come over was also stunned, and even the saline bag in her hand was almost not steady. Xia Zifeng was even more stunned, and he didn't even make a move to pick up his hand and cover his face.
Xiangxiang's face was flushed, his face was still angry, and he pointed out the window, "With such a big snow, you asked a girl to send you something, are you still a man?" No, are you still human? Xiangxiang's voice was actually a little choked, "Your interview is more important than human life?" ”
I'm a little worried, after all, Xia Zifeng has a violent temper, in case the two of them quarrel and hurt the friendship for so many years, not to mention that this is an emergency room, so many doctors and patients are still there. I was a little panicked for a moment, we're not going to make headlines, are we?
But Xia Zifeng was stunned there for a long time, his expression was like a frightened little squirrel, he looked at Xiangxiang with big eyes, almost a few minutes had passed, and he saw his mouth close again and again, and then slowly held back a sentence, "Yes, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good." ”
My jaws and I were all about to fall to the ground. His pitiful little appearance felt like Xiangxiang had just raped him.
I couldn't help but sigh, "I used to think about what it's like to be pretty, but now I know it." ”
Xia Ziyun sneered beside him, tilted his head and didn't look at us.
