Body Chapter 001: Eye Disease
I sail against the wind, between the endless sea and the firmament
The geocentric force can no longer control me, just as an architect draws a blueprint in his mind, imagining that there are steps ahead, and they really exist when he approaches
I climbed layer by layer, stretched out my hand, and the wind stopped like a horse in front of me, and when I raised my head, the rain turned into a waterfall and diverted between my eyebrows
On the interface of nothingness, I am a magical sage, walking towards a space where the stars creep like wolves
With the waves beneath my feet and the crowd swaddling and struggling to swim with the waves, I raised my arms and shouted to a friend who stared blankly, his gaze passing through my body to the clouds
I walked around, feeling lonely and terrified
More people came, and a long-haired girl saw me and pointed out to others in amazement, and many of the featureless heads suddenly lifted
From the depths of the firmament came a deep sigh, the will dissipated, the imagination dried up, the support under my feet collapsed like thin ice, and I fell down like a bird that had been shot, grinding in the air and making fire and smoke, drawing a straight black line against the blue background of the sea and the firmament
On the sea, everyone is unrecognizable, as hideous as demons and monsters
The moment I plunged into the depths of the sea, I struggled to look back, the black smoke was stretching and twisting, about to transform into a figurative pattern, and I finally failed to see clearly, the sea water pressed from all directions poured into my mouth, nose and ears, salty and astringent
A series of bubbles rose in front of you, soaring upward......
……
I woke up in the dark, drenched in a cold sweat
There was not the slightest light around, like a dark morgue
I'm a freelance photographer who shoots all kinds of private, peachy men and women for a living, and the set of photos hanging on the sling is last night, no, to be precise, it should have been taken at two o'clock in the morning this morning in the garden Xiaoxuan
It was the moment of intimate contact between a well-known female star and her little white face
I picked up the leftover half-listening beer on the table, pulled up the curtains, let the sunlight pour in, and my vision immediately blurred
A month ago, I suffered from a severe eye disease, with increased discharge and poor vision, and everything in my eyes had no obvious horns, as if the scene was distorted by flowing water through a waterfall
The general scurried onto the ledge, waving his front paws at the sun
I think there must be flying dust in the sun, even though it seems to me to be just a bright pillar of light
Something too real can always make people see flaws, on the contrary, the right haze has an illusion of perfection, just like in a dimly lit bar, when beautiful women meet in the streets, they often find nothing more than that
Ying Ling called, she is the editor of a well-known magazine and has a high influence in the industry
"Is it clear, you have to make sure you have her whole face"
"I promise, you can count the scars on her face after removing her makeup."
"It's better to be a pockmark, that's more sensational" The woman laughed in the microphone, "Pass it over, arrange the front page tomorrow"
"The fax machine is broken, you work hard"
I hung up and pushed the door open
……
I live on the top floor of the city's tallest building, and flocks of white doves land on the rooftops, which, like the General, are my only living friends in this isolated place
I feed them bread crumbs and water, and they reward me with a flying posture
From the rooftop, the domino-like buildings are distributed along the densely woven streets, and the pedestrians are as small as insects and ants, rushing in groups, like migrating beasts in the animal world, the movements are monotonous and fast, and the movements are dazzling
The Heroic Spirit came running out of breath, and I went in to take out the picture
She watched and said, "I'll introduce you to a job."
"End" I shook my hands and said, "There are celebrities again, and I can't sleep at night"
They slept soundly, and their "Heroic Spirits raised their heads and rejoiced at me" this time it was...... Catch the traitor"
She has an enviable white tooth
"It's boring," I said, turning my head tiredly
"Tomorrow afternoon, a big restaurant on Shitiao Road, the woman's surname is Bai, this is her phone number" She tore a page from her notepad and gave it to me
I didn't
"Price?"
"I don't talk about it, I'll look at it myself" She stuffed the note into my pocket and blinked, "Old friend, no introduction fee"
The flock of pigeons, startled by her laughter, swirled around the building, and the shrill pigeon whistles reverberated between the high-rise buildings
I looked up, my gaze swallowed up by the intense sunlight, and the flying pigeons were like rough sketches, simple outlines of dark lines that were heavier than others, and it was impossible to distinguish the colors of the faces
I felt dizzy and lowered my head
"Do you know that hospital has a good ophthalmologist?"
The Heroic Spirit thought for a moment "Light"
……
Lu Guangming is a person, a tall and thin four-eyed person with a polite and pedantic temperament, and he carefully asked me about the time of onset, symptoms, and whether I felt pain
"June 13th"
I twisted my neck and asked Heroic Spirit, "Right?" ”
Heroic Spirit's gaze wandered, "I think it should be the 12th"
"It was June 12th, I was attacked by a few hooligans in the parking lot, and she took me to the hospital"
I uncovered my shirt and showed him the layers of gauze that had been sealed on his right abdomen, explaining that "a beating, a stab"
Lu Guangming glanced at it, and his attention returned to the film
"That is, since the 12th, the eyes have been oozing fluid?"
"Yes"
"Weird" he pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, and he was at a loss behind the concave mirror
"In medicine, this gelatinous substance is called vitreous, and it fills between the lens and the retina, supporting the inner wall of the eyeball," he paused, "According to medical common sense, if the vitreous leaks, the eyeball will deflated like a deflated football......"
My heart sank, "You mean I'm going to be blind?" ”
"You should have been blind a long time ago"
He got up and walked around the clinic twice, then suddenly turned around and said to me urgently, "Mr. Chen, I hope you can authorize me to personally conduct a comprehensive physical examination for you, whether you can find a cure or not, it will be an infinite contribution to the medical community......
I got up in a rage and said "I don't agree, I'm not a guinea pig in the lab"
Lu Guangming put forward the condition that "you will get a valuable research compensation, and you can write a check now"
I looked back at the Heroic Spirit, "Do you think it's a good deal?" ”
She shook her head and pulled the door open for me with a sad expression
When I resolutely walked out, I felt that the future was dark
