Chapter 24: Old Friends
The swarm chased after me, and before I reached the door, I only felt that my legs were sore, and my eyes were full of stars. Xiaoxue's father is too heavy, although I have practiced, but I consumed too much physical strength when I fought with that mother-in-law just now, and I was also injured.
If it weren't for the desire to survive that dominates me, I wouldn't have been able to get up. If this is caught up by the swarm, there will be no bones left that must not be gnawed?
I gritted my teeth and ran as hard as I could, and finally reached the door. I held the doorknob with one hand and dragged Xiaoxue's father with the other, and since he was too heavy I didn't hold it and he slid down.
I quickly opened the door, and the swarm chased after me. I grabbed Xiaoxue's father's legs and lifted it forward, her father's body flipped out, and I hurriedly followed out and closed the door at the same time.
The moment the door closed, I sat on the floor with my back to the wall. Before I could come to my senses, I suddenly felt a pain in my calf, so I quickly turned on the flashlight on my phone and shone it on my calf, where several bugs were biting my calf. I shook them off and slapped them to death with my shoes.
The calf has been bitten and the flesh is blurred, uncle's! These insects actually have a habit of eating meat and drinking blood.
Kang Zhan praised on the side: "You were so handsome when you fought with the female ghost just now!"
I said, "Handsome man, you have a head!" Why didn't you help when I was fighting her? You have to wait until I beat her to run away before you show your value! ”
Kang Zhan said confidently: "Are you stupid! She had a physical body before, and Xiaoxue and I are both spirits, how can we contact her? And you're still holding two broken talismans, what if you hurt us? ”
I was speechless, he was right.
This one is relatively sturdy, and the bugs can't get out for the time being.
Although the female ghost has been eliminated, I don't think it's that simple. Life is inseparable from birth, old age, sickness and death, karma, and reincarnation. No living thing can escape the cycle of life and death.
Judging from the fight just now, the female ghost is not very good, and she doesn't have the ability to make a body to resurrect her soul.
This kind of behavior is an existence against the sky, and since it is an existence against the sky, it is not something that ordinary people can operate. Who will be the one who will help the female ghost to revive the soul? This may be a permanent unsolved mystery. Anyway, it must be a horrible guy.
I took off my clothes, the temperature in the hallway was cold, but my heart beat faster because of the intense exercise just now. So I can't feel cold even when I'm naked.
Three cuts were made in the chest by the female ghost, and it was still bleeding. I was a little dizzy, probably because of excessive blood loss. I tore my underwear into strips of cloth and joined them into long strips to bandage the wounds on my chest and calves.
After bandaging, put on your clothes. Xiaoxue's father can't just throw him in the corridor, he has to take him away. He's so bad, I'm injured again, but I can't take him away.
I took out my phone and called Lei Xin for help, trying to get her to find a taxi to pick me up. I don't know if I've been really unlucky recently or I haven't looked at the yellow calendar when I go out, I have been calling for a long time, and Lei Xin's phone can't get through, and it keeps prompting that I am on the phone. What a hell of a life!
I want to find someone else for help, but there are few contacts on my phone. I really regret that I didn't make a few more friends when I was in the garment factory, but now it's good that I don't even have a person to ask for help when I encounter difficulties.
The parents were out of reach, and Lei Xin's phone couldn't be reached. I don't dare to call the police, what if Xiaoxue's father wakes up and doesn't remember what happened before he fainted, and sues me for trespassing on the house and harassing me? I can tell the police that his house is haunted, and that I'm here to hunt ghosts. The point is can the police believe it? I guess I'll have to go to a psychiatric hospital if I don't go to prison. When I pulled my phone's address book to the bottom, hope rekindled in my heart. The last contact person remarked "Master Zhang", this Master Zhang was the taxi master who was forced by the old turtle to go to the mountains to get talismans last time, and came back to kindly help me.
I dialed his phone and kept saying "I must answer, I must answer ......"
My heart rises to my throat, and every time it rings, it speeds up my heartbeat.
Time passed by second by second, and every second was terrifying. Fortunately, the phone was finally connected.
I swear that I will make more friends when I go out, and I now deeply understand what it means to have multiple friends and multiple paths.
An unfamiliar voice came from the phone, I haven't seen him for months, and I don't even remember his voice. I was a little ashamed that people helped me that day, and they didn't care about the fare for the ride. At that time, I made up my mind that when I had money, I would definitely invite him to dinner and thank him well. But when I started to have deposits, I forgot about it. If it weren't for today's incident, I would have forgotten about him as a person.
I said, "Brother, do you remember me?" A few months ago, I was playing in the mountains and taking pictures when I encountered a thief, and you sent me home. ”
He was silent for a moment, then replied, "I remember that there seems to be such a thing. What's the matter, buddy, do you have anything to do with me? ”
I said, "Dude, you may not believe me when I say it, but I have a thief again, and now I am injured." In a small area. I can't go back, can you come and pick me up? Now I have the money to pay you for the ride. ”
He said, "Where are you now?"
I said, "I'll send you the address via text message."
I hung up the phone, asked Xiaoxue for her address, and sent him a text message.
My hanging heart was suddenly relieved, and I was not worried that he would not come, because I believed in his character.
Everyone has a kind of psychological dependence, and the people who have helped you unconditionally when you are most helpless will invisibly establish prestige in your heart. No matter what happens in the future, as long as he comes forward, you will feel steady, as if you have met a savior in the apocalypse.
After about half an hour, he called and said that he had arrived downstairs. I asked Xiaoxue to take me downstairs to find him.
In the dark, I couldn't see his face or clothes clearly, but I had the same feeling and excitement as when I first met him.
I said, "Brother, it's great that you can come." My uncle was still in the hallway, and he passed out. I was wounded and couldn't carry him. ”
He said, "Where?"
I led him upstairs, and he picked up Xiaoxue's father and said, "Your uncle is really heavy."
I said, "Put him down, let's take him down."
He said, "If you're hurt, stop it."
When he got downstairs, he put Xiaoxue's father down, gasped, and said, "No, I have to rest for a while."
After a while, he picked up Xiaoxue's father again and put him in the back seat of the car.
Although it was pitch black, I could tell that he was driving not a taxi, but a private car.
I asked, "Why did you come here in a private car?"
He said, "I'm not running a rental for a long time."
I said, "Then you're going to pick me up......"
He said, "You have asked me for help, how can I say the past if I don't come?"
I said, "Aren't you afraid I'm a liar?"
He said, "Then aren't you afraid that I will abduct you?"
I smiled at him: "You helped me once when I was helpless, and I was willing to be abducted and trafficked by you."
He said, "Liars are liars, who makes me kind-hearted?"
I said, "We don't know each other, aren't you stupid like this?" People are stupid and easy to lose. ”
He said: "I haven't heard the old people often say, is it a blessing to suffer losses? Look at your limping, do you want to go to the hospital? ”
Later, I learned that Master Zhang is a kind-hearted person, as long as others are in trouble and are encountered by him, even if they don't know each other, he will lend a helping hand without asking for anything in return.
I was going to say no, but the wound hurt terribly when I moved, and I said, "I think I need to go to the hospital."
There is someone on duty in the hospital, my injury is not serious, and I can simply put some medicine and bandage it.
Master Zhang sent me back to my accommodation, and I put Xiaoxue's father on my bed and started chatting with Master Zhang.
After turning on the light, I looked at his face, with a high nose, thick lips, small eyes, and a little dark skin. I was afraid that staring at him all the time would take me for a gay man, so I quickly turned my head away and looked at me again after a while. His eyebrows are not thick and they are short. With short hair, the beard stubble has grown a lot.
He wears blue pants and a black coat. I vaguely remember the first time we met, he was wearing a combination of these two colors. This time I have to take a good look at him and don't forget what my benefactor looks like.
I said, "It's only the second time we've met, but we've known each other for a few months."
He smiled and said, "This ...... You just have the final say. ”
I said, "I don't know your name yet."
He said, "My name is Zhang Tao. When I was born, the fortune teller said that I was short of water, so my family gave me this name. After saying that, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and took out another one and handed it to me.
I said, "Sorry, I don't smoke, thank you."
He took out the cigarette from his mouth and put it on his ear and said, "Since you don't smoke, I won't smoke with you either."
I said, "It's okay, the air quality is so bad right now." Direct breathing is no different from inhaling secondhand smoke. ”
He smiled and took the cigarette in his mouth and lit it.
I said, "What are you doing now?"
"Homeless," he said.
I said, "Why don't you run for a rental?" Because it doesn't make money? ”
He sighed, became expressionless, and took a puff of cigarette in his mouth for a long time. I felt as if I had touched his scar and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry."
He spat out the cigarette and said, "It's okay, it's nothing. It's my ex-girlfriend's parents who look down on the taxi industry, so I quit my job, but I didn't keep this feeling. ”
I don't know how to comfort him, it's a very difficult thing to comfort a lovelorn person, and it seems a bit hypocritical to say that he should look away. Saying "There is no grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a flower", "If you like someone, you must know how to let go, since she chooses to leave, you must silently bless her" and other words are a bit underwhelming. You don't feel that this sentence makes sense, if the lovelorn is you, you will find that this is all, I digressed the topic and said, "What are you going to do next?"
He said, "Let's talk about it, when I get out of the shadow of broken love."
I said, "We're friends now, aren't we?"
He nodded, forced a smile, and said, "You can say it."
When he left, I gave him a hundred dollars, and he said he didn't want anything. I said, "Then we have time to have a meal together."
He promised that this time I would never forget again.
