As soon as Qin Huaiwei said that, Zhang Xiao and Liu Wei, two powerful people, began to look at me and Zu Xiwei.

On my side, I was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but reach out and scratch my head.

Zu Xiwei had an indifferent expression, chewing a big bubble gum in her mouth, and then "snapped" and spit out a bubble.

Chewing bubble gum is one of Zu Xiwei's hobbies, and I also tried to chew it, but because I couldn't blow bubbles alive or dead, I gave up.

Zhang Xiao and Liu Wei didn't ask too much, and led us into the health center.

While walking, Zhang Xiao introduced: "This epidemic is a bit special, all people who are infected with the epidemic first eat and drink less, and then do not eat or drink, and within a few days they will be skinny, occasionally vomiting black turbidity in their mouths, accompanied by symptoms of sleepwalking." ”

Liu Wei also added on the side: "They sometimes have violent tendencies, don't look at their flesh and blood, start a rush, without three or five strong laborers, they can't hold it at all, now all the patients admitted to the hospital are locked in the bed, otherwise they will all start a rush, we don't have enough manpower here." ”

Liu Wei's words were a bit complaining.

Zhang Xiao said in an official tone next to him: "This is also a matter of no choice, this epidemic is special, we can't invest too many people in it, otherwise things will spread out, and I am afraid that there will be a bad impact." ”

"Even the blockade of the surrounding area is carried out secretly, but fortunately, there is less mobility in the mountains, otherwise this matter would have been exposed long ago."

Qin Huaiwei raised his hand to interrupt their conversation, and instead asked directly, "How many patients are living in the health center now?" ”

Zhang Xiao and Liu Wei said at the same time: "Thirty-seven (forty-two)!" ”

The two men said different numbers.

Zhang Xiao immediately added: "Thirty-seven are alive, and five are dead, but according to Teacher Wang's orders, the five dead people were not buried, but were isolated and refrigerated. ”

Qin Huaiwei nodded and said, "Is the first patient found here already dead?" ”

Liu Wei shook his head and said: "No, the first infected patient, in the 203rd ward, although his condition has not been cured, but he is the best state among all the infected people." ”

Zhang Xiao added: "His name is Hong Siqi, he is 20 years old this year, he is the youngest of all the infected people, and his parents are also infected with this disease, but they are not as lucky as him, and the names of his parents are in the list of five deaths." ”

"He was sent to the health center by his parents, and at first his parents did not have this symptom, but after a few days of serving him here, they began to get sick."

Qin Huaiwei asked again: "Have the reasons for their infection been investigated clearly?" ”

Zhang Xiao said: "The initial suspicion is that it was bitten by a kind of bug, but what kind of bug it is has not yet been concluded." ”

Qin Huaiwei said, "Take me to meet that Hong Siqi." ”

Soon we went up to the second floor, and before we could go upstairs, we heard the sound of "wailing" and some patients moaning in pain from the hallway.

All the room doors were chained and locked.

Looking at those chains, I was a little surprised, and I couldn't help but feel that the wards were not closed by patients, but by monsters.

Zhang Xiao explained: "The situation is special and we have to do this, but you can rest assured that all patients will receive the best possible treatment. ”

Soon we arrived at the door of ward 203, Zhang Xiao called for someone to open the door, and asked us if we needed protective clothing to enter the ward.

Qin Huaiwei shook his head and said, "No need." ”

Actually, I wanted to ask if there were any children who wore them, and I was afraid that I would get that strange disease.

As soon as the door of the ward opened, a foul smell came to our faces, and a few of us subconsciously covered our noses.

Although we had already smelled this stench when we went upstairs, we didn't expect the smell in the hospital room to be so pungent.

My little eyes were so smoked that they were going to cry.

Zu Xiwei pinched her nose and muttered in a low voice: "It's stinky!" ”

As he spoke, the bubble gum in his mouth also spit out onto a piece of paper, then rolled it up vigorously and threw it at the garbage bin at the entrance of the building more than ten meters away.

"Dang!"

Zu Xiwei's throw was quite accurate.

But I could see that she had added a breath of gas to the paper ball, and it was under the effect of that gas that the paper ball fell into the garbage bin without any mistakes.

Zu Xiwei has already completed gathering qi and can perform some small spells, and I have just been able to concentrate.

Qin Huaiwei glared at Zu Xiwei, as if he was reproaching Zu Xiwei for showing off blindly.

At this time, we also took a general look at the situation in the ward, and there were already a lot of black spots on the white sheets and white quilts on the hospital bed, and even the walls had a lot of traces of black stains.

On the hospital bed lay a man in a white hospital gown, he looked thin, his face was pale, his hair was short, his hands and feet were locked to the corners of the bed, he could only lie down and look at the ceiling.

Qin Huaiwei took the lead and walked in, and then Fang Yue also followed, Zu Xiwei hesitated, pulled me and walked inside, but I still had some resistance in my heart.

Zhang Xiao and Liu Wei had no intention of coming in, and they were two steps away from the door of the ward.

Qin Huaiwei looked at the person on the hospital bed, and after staring at it for a while, he said, "Your name is Hong Siqi?" ”

The man nodded, looking sane.

Qin Huaiwei continued: "It seems that you have a lot of doubts in your heart, so you come with me, take us to that place, solve the matter there, and your illness will be cured, but your parents have passed away, and I can't do anything about it." ”

Hong Siqi's eyes wept.

Zhang Xiao said outside: "Teacher Qin, there is a rule above, patients cannot be taken out of this hospital, otherwise something will happen, and we will be responsible." ”

Qin Huaiwei said in a cold tone: "If something goes wrong, I'll be responsible, if you don't want to solve the matter, more and more people will die in the future, and you still can't explain." ”

After that, Qin Huaiwei pointed at Hong Siqi and said to Zhang Xiao: "Find someone to open the lock, and I'll take him away now." ”

Zhang Xiao and Liu Wei glanced at each other a few times, but still found someone to unlock the lock.

However, when we took Hong Siqi away, the two of them and the staff here were already hiding far away.

The reason why Qin Huaiwei took Hong Siqi away must have been through his eyes to spy on everything Hong Siqi was thinking in his heart, and then he found that some fragments were useful, so he brought Hong Siqi with him.

It's not right, if he knows everything about Hong Siqi, why do he have to bring Hong Siqi, Hong Siqi is an ordinary person, and now he is sick, and it is a burden to carry it with him.

I subconsciously looked at Qin Huaiwei, and his lifeless eyes happened to be looking at me.

I couldn't help but turn my head, but the moment I turned my head, I saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.

He brought Hong Siqi to use him.

But what is the value of Hong Siqi?

Thinking about it, I only thought of one possibility, and that was to be a decoy.

Thinking of this, I have some sympathy for Hong Siqi, but when I meet Qin Huaiwei, it is also considered his bad luck, and I am now unable to protect myself, plus I am only eleven years old, so I can't save him no matter what.

Qin Huaiwei seemed to see through the thoughts in my heart, so he came over and patted me on the shoulder and said, "If you want to replace Hong Siqi's role, I can fulfill you." ”

I was so frightened that I quickly shook my head.

After getting out of the hospital, a few of us got into the black car, Qin Huaiwei still had a conscience, let Hong Siqi sit in the co-pilot, and then he went to the back seat to squeeze with me and Zu Xiwei, instead of letting Hong Siqi come and squeeze with us.

If Hong Siqi sat in the back row, Zu Xiwei and I would definitely collapse.

When Hong Siqi came out, Qin Huaiwei asked him to go to the water room of the hospital to flush it, and then threw him Fang Yue's clothes to change into, and the smell on his body was much smaller, otherwise sitting in the car, several of us would be smoked to death.

After the car started, Fang Yue joked to Qin Huaiwei and said, "Master Qin, remember to make up for me for this clothes." ”

Qin Huaiwei smiled: "The extra money I gave you is not enough for you to buy two clothes?" ”

Hong Siqi was wearing Fang Yue's clothes, looking very fat, he sat in the co-pilot without saying a word, looking ahead blankly, and showing Fang Yue the way when it was time to turn the corner.

At this time, I couldn't help but ask Qin Huaiwei what he saw in Hong Siqi's head.

Qin Huaiwei said, let him tell you about it himself.

Saying that, Qin Huaiwei stretched out his hand and patted Hong Siqi's shoulder and said, "You tell them how you contracted a strange disease." ”

Hong Siqi was silent for a while and began to say: "Isn't it summer now, it is the rainy season, and not long ago, there was a heavy rain that has not been seen in a century, flooding a lot of villages, and killing people." ”

"But after the flood waters receded, the flash floods also brought a lot of treasures."

"In the depths of Broken Dragon Mountain in the west of our town, there is a place called Zanglonggou, because of this flood, a lot of broken iron ore has been washed out, the big one is the size of a watermelon, and the small one is the size of a fist, and those iron ores can be sold for money if they are picked up."

"If you're lucky, you can earn more than 100 yuan a day!"

"My father and mother and I were the first to discover these ores, but within a few days, more and more people went to pick up ores, and the entire Hidden Dragon Ditch was densely packed, and it was estimated that there were hundreds of people."

"Later, those who collected the ore widened the original path and drove the car to Zanglonggou, and the ore picked up on the spot could be sold at that time, so there were more people going."

"There are too many people, and the ore in the burial dragon ditch is not enough to pick up, and people began to use pickaxes and shovels to dig deeper places, and the burial dragon ditch was dug in a few days."

"And I had an accident while I was mining rocks."

When Hong Siqi said this, there was a look of fear on his face, and some unpleasant experiences made his mood fluctuate a little.

His hand gripped his knee so hard that it was about to break.

I also realized that what came next was the most "exciting" part of the story.
