Chapter 5: The Night Comes
When I got the news, I was stunned for a long time, looking at Qibao motionlessly.
"Old Shen?" Qibao saw that my expression was a little weird, and he couldn't help but worry: "Don't worry, Situ and they haven't given up looking for it yet, when you recover from your injuries, let's go together!" ”
My chest was constantly rising and falling, as if I couldn't breathe, gasping for air, and my body was trembling.
Gritting my teeth, I closed my eyes and took deep breaths.
After a full two minutes of slowing down, I opened my eyes and looked at Qibao intently: "She was dragged into the water?" ”
"It should be." Qibao nodded: "Judging from the traces left at the scene, Sister Chen was indeed dragged into the water, if you speculate from the time...... When she was dragged away, it should have been after Fang Shiliang took you to escape. ”
"During that time, Yang Jiusheng has always been on the shore and has never been in the water, so his suspicion can be ruled out, as for the Nine Turtle God ......."
As he spoke, Shippo looked at me and asked tentatively, "Are you sure its body is collapsing?" ”
"Yes." I nodded: "Although I don't know much about the Nine Blades, but from the situation at the time, the Nine Dragons must have been seriously injured, at least in a short period of time, it is impossible for it to stir up any wind and waves." ”
"It's not the Nine Gods, it's not the ....... of raising the Nine Beings" Qibao frowned, thinking very seriously, and finally asked me confusedly: "Who else can drag Sister Chen into the water?" ”
I didn't say anything, glanced back at the rat, and asked in a low voice, "Did you see who dragged Sister Chen into the water?" ”
The rat didn't hesitate, and shook his head directly, indicating that he didn't know.
"No matter who it is, we still have to find it." Qibao threw a cigarette over, leaned back on the chair, tilted his head, and looked at the sky 'flower' board expressionlessly: "Sister Chen has a good relationship with us, to be honest, I treat her as my own sister, and the 'woman' who can take care of me so much since I was a child, except for my mother, she is ......"
Saying this, Shippo fell silent and raised his hand to 'rub' his eyes, but the more he 'rubbed', the more tears flowed from his eyes.
In the end, Qibao couldn't control his emotions anymore, and suddenly covered his face with his hands, like a child who had been wronged, and cried loudly.
I was still a little sad in my heart, but when I saw Shippo like this, I didn't know what to say, so I could only lean over and pat him on the shoulder with my hand while comforting him.
"I'm blamed!! It's useless to blame me!! If only I hadn't passed out!! I'm sure I can help you!! ”
Shippo had never 'revealed' like this, and really, his remorseful cry made me hallucinate.
It seems that Qibao really took Chen Qiuyan as his sister.
But think about it, although Qibao usually looks close to everyone, but the people who can really care about him and can really take care of him, except for his mother, there is only Chen Qiuyan, the eldest sister.
"It's okay, it's all over." I whispered comforting, "I'm not crying anymore, why are you crying?" ”
"You***! I heard what Fang Shiliang said! Are you in love with Sister Chen? Qibao glared at me while crying: "If this thing really happens, I will have to call you brother-in-law, do you say that Lao Tzu will cry or not!" ”
"What do you mean...... Do you think you've somehow been demoted? I asked tentatively.
Shippo nodded and said no! The two of us turned out to be equals! You have upgraded inexplicably, I still have to call you brother-in-law, how angry you say Lao Tzu is!
"Speaking of which, we have a lot of things to do when we go back, and there are a lot of troubles waiting for us to deal with in the industry, but ......"
Suddenly, Qibao paused, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly asked me, "Do you remember that copper plate?" ”
"What's the copper?" I asked, confused.
"It's the copper plate on your body, Fang Shiliang said, that's what he gave you." Qibao said: "We showed the Bodhisattva Wenren the board, and said that he had seen the words used on it, but he couldn't translate it for us, because it was not his profession, and he couldn't understand it." ”
I nodded, and didn't ask much, because I didn't care about it, and if it weren't for Shippo mentioning it, I would have forgotten that I still had a copper plate on my body.
"In the end, Situ recognized it, and he said that the copper plate was in Sumerian, which was the Sumerian civilization in the Lianghe River Valley thousands of years ago, and the words on the copper plate were all the words used in that country." Qibao lit a cigarette, diverted from the initial topic, and chatted with me: "What is the specific content, he can't understand this, and finally rubbed a copy and sent it to China. I went, and there was a text expert over there to help us translate ......"
"That's right...... Let's wait for them to translate....... Anyway, let's not rush ......." I leaned back on the pillow, tilted my face slightly, and looked at the cigarette between my fingers, my expression was very indifferent.
"Wenren Bodhisattva has analyzed, that copper plate is very likely to be related to that ancient well, maybe there are some clues about the Nine Turtle God."
As soon as I heard this, I immediately felt a little 'spirit'.
"You have a good rest, I'll come to see you tomorrow, it's not too early......."
Qibao said, helped me pack my lunch box, and finally left me a pack of cigarettes, and when he handed me the lighter, he specially told me.
Lock the 'door' and 'pump', or the nurses will lock your mouth.
"I've been arrested seven times at the 'door' of the hospital, and the last time, the head nurse was so angry that she wanted to 'pump' me, it's really fucking depressed......" Qibao sighed and said: "You don't know, this hospital is strict with everything, and the patients are forgotten, even the families of patients like us are not free, alas......."
I just laughed when I heard this, and Shippo chattered to me for a while before finally packing up my things and leaving the ward slowly.
When he was gone, I put away the smile on my face and sat on the pillow in silence.
The rat is not stupid, and can feel the change in my mood, so at this time, it also comes over and lies on my big 'legs', squeaking and whispering, as if to comfort me.
"Chubby, that Chenlong is your friend, right?" I gently stroked the squirrel's head and asked curiously.
The rat nodded: "Squeak!" ”
"How did it get to that ancient well? Who told it to suppress the Nine Gods? Do you know? I asked.
The rat looked at me a little confused, shook his head, and said he didn't know.
"Your friend, there should be eleven more, right?"
"Squeak!" The rat kept nodding his head, looking very excited.
"Where are you from?" I chatted with the rat as if I was chatting, and my tone was a little more relaxed: "Chubby, do you have a master?" ”
Hearing this question, the rat didn't respond to me, and its eyes became more and more 'confused', as if it couldn't remember these things.
At this moment, the window suddenly lit up, and the dark sky suddenly became like day.
In the next second, earth-shattering thunder exploded violently in the sky.
"Boom !!"
In just a few seconds, the wind and rain began to 'mix' outside.
The violent wind and rain reminded me of the scene in the Dragon King Village......
When they were 'fighting' with Yang Jiusheng, it was raining so heavily in the sky, right?
"Smack."
An incomparably crisp sound of slapping on the window made me stunned for a moment, or rather, startled.
Through the thunder outside the window, I vaguely saw a thin palm slapping on the window, and I was shocked, really, this is not an exaggeration.
Am I hallucinating again?
"Chubby, do you see that hand?" I asked tentatively.
The squirrel stared at the window, nodded, and squeaked twice.
"It's not my hallucination, is it?" I asked again.
The rat looked back at me, tilted his head, and didn't squeak.
"You're not also my hallucination, are you? It's the same as before......."
The rat squeaked a few times, and I didn't understand what it meant, and before I could ask any more, it turned its head back again.
"It's the eighth floor." I muttered.
I wanted to walk over to take a look, but suddenly I realized that I was still wrapped in gauze bandages, and there was a tube next to me to infuse fluid, and it was difficult to move bigger, let alone get out of bed.
Just as I was hesitating to go over and take a look, there was a muffled thud and the window was smashed through the fist made by that hand.
