Chapter 66: Sudden Illness
Cold sweat broke out on my panicked head, and I was stumbling for a long time, and finally I gave it all up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Xikan stared at me with strange eyes, I have never seen that kind of look, like a policeman staring at a thief who is committing a crime. I was frightened and helpless, and tried my best to justify my relationship with his grandfather, but I heard him whisper: 'Come with me to my house now, I want to see what he is doing.' ’
The two of us tiptoed to his door, and Li Xiguan got inside, and after repeatedly making sure that there was no talking animal in the house, he sneakily poked his head out and beckoned to me. I pushed open his grandfather's bedroom door and pointed to the tempting drawer, my heart beating like a drum. Li Xikan swallowed, took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and opened the drawer. ”
Wang Linshuo closed his eyes, suddenly pursed his mouth, and did not continue. I was listening with great interest, and I grabbed him and asked, "Do you still have all those money and guns in the drawer?" ”
He shook his head, his pupils dilated, his breathing became heavy, and his eyes were full of fear. I grabbed him by the shoulder, pressed him back onto the couch, and shoved him into a can of Coca-Cola. He grabbed the cola and put it on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "There is something wrapped in rice paper in the drawer, and a series of extremely messy words are densely written on the paper. I looked at it for a while before I realized that it was written that there were ghosts in the water!
Li Xikan's face turned pale and trembled to tell me his grandfather's handwriting at that time. The two children were so frightened by these four words that I almost wanted to run away. However, at that time (and not only then, but also now) Li Xikan was very bold, he grabbed me, took a deep breath, and gently opened the rice paper.
The back of my head, a bit like an egg, was in front of me, and what was supposed to be the neck was empty.
Head! There's a human head in the drawer! I sat down on my ass and struggled to crawl out. There was a muffled thud of drawers and tables in the room, and then he rushed out desperately, screaming and pulling open the door and stumbling out, nearly tripping over the threshold.
The two of us rushed to the sun but still felt cold all over the body, Li Xikan trembled all over, grabbed my hand tightly, and couldn't say a complete word for a long time. The horror in my heart was beyond words, and I was about to ask Li Xiguan what was going on, but I heard him tremble and say in a broken voice that the head belonged to his grandfather!
It took a long time for the two men who were about to be frightened to express their meaning clearly. As I ran out, Li Xiguan turned the man's head over in a daze, and he was horrified to see that the man's facial features were exactly the same as his grandfather's!
The neat cut from the chin flashed through my mind, and a line of numbers printed in lead on the back of my head: 44400890. I couldn't help but exclaim: 'This head is a fake!' ’”
Wang Linshuo took a deep breath, raised his neck to drink all the Coke, and sighed: "Until now, I don't know why Li Xikan's grandfather put a fake human head in the drawer, and why he asked me for hair. The day after that incident, his grandfather fell ill without warning, and I haven't seen him since. A week later, he died suddenly, and Li Xiguan also left me, and this strange thing was buried in my heart. Oh, and I forgot to tell you that on the day of his grandfather's death, I received an envelope from someone else, and when it was opened, it was a thick pile of rice paper that said that there was a ghost in the water, 44400890. ”
I was so shocked that I could barely speak, and I was stunned for a long time before I said, "In that case, it should be a nightmare memory, and it should be gradually forgotten." But why, when you were stunned, I told you that there are ghosts in the water, but you blurted out that string of numbers? Is there any connection between them? ”
He muttered, "The strange place is here. Things should have been as you said, but since I received the letter, this string of numbers has lingered in my mind, like a code, and the four words "ghost in the water" are the key to the following numbers. I can't forget them all these years, and I was in a state of distraction when you said it, maybe my subconscious was at work. ”
I nodded, reluctant to say more, knowing that it was impossible to know all the thoughts in the head of someone as sullen as him, and changed the subject and asked, "If you could go to the Taklamakan and know the secrets hidden in this string of numbers, would you go?" ”
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Very likely." Without waiting for me to answer, he sat up straight, leaned forward, looked straight at me, and asked, "Can you promise not to tell anyone about this?" ”
I smiled slightly, "Of course." ”
As I was sending him downstairs, he suddenly stopped and threw me a meaningful, unpredictable look. I looked at him and knew that there were some things that I had to find out on my own to completely unveil them.
After bidding each other farewell, I went back to my room, closed the door, leaned back in my chair, and was about to ponder his words when suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my heart. At that moment, I felt as if tens of thousands of man-eating ants were struggling to eat my heart, and it was like someone holding a large electric drill and drilling it at the tip of my heart. I screamed, my body went limp, and I fell straight from my chair to the ground, convulsing to reach for the phone in the chair, but I dropped it to the ground. The phone screen lights up, and Siri's mechanical voice comes out: How can I help you?
I endured the severe pain in my heart and mouth, and said tremblingly: "Call Wang Linshuo." ”
Dial-up times that usually seem to be very short, but now I feel that it is long and very difficult. I pinched my wrist to prevent myself from fainting, and frantically prayed that Wang Linshuo would hear my call for help. When that feed came through the microphone, I almost died of pain. I yelled with the loudest voice I could, "Help me, call 120 for me!" ”
At that point I was already in a trance, and I felt that what came out of my mouth was not human words, but a bunch of meaningless moans. I wasn't even sure if Wang Linshuo could understand me, and I was desperate to think that this time it might be over.
In the chaos of darkness, I caught a glimpse of a faint light ahead. I subconsciously walked towards it, and the closer I got to it, the more I could hear the roar of animals coming from the white light. Strangely, I was not scared at all, but felt very reassured. Just as I was about to melt into the white light, someone suddenly pushed my body violently. I was startled and turned around sharply, only to see a white ceiling.
A familiar voice shouted in my ear: "He's awake, bring water!" ”
I struggled to turn my head and neck, and the hanging bottles and medicines came into view. Zhang Siyuan's big face poked out, held the water cup and asked, "How do you feel, do you want to drink some water?" ”
My throat was dry like smoke, and I struggled to get up but felt weak. The previous picture gradually became clear in my mind, Wang Linshuo's story and his frightened eyes, as well as the lit mobile phone screen and unforgettable pain...... I struggled to sit up with Zhang Siyuan's assistance, and my chest was still aching. Wang Zhen pushed the door in with a bag of fruits, and was stunned and surprised: "Are you awake?" ”
I took a few sips of water, took a breath and said, "How long have I been in a coma?" ”
Zhang Siyuan hurriedly said: "One day and one night." At that time, when I received the call from Ershuo, I was so frightened that I almost dropped my phone, and I grabbed my wallet in a panic and ran to the hospital, your little face was pale and your eyes were closed. ”
Wang Linshuo sighed: "Fortunately, I was carrying the key to your house at the time, and I ran up sweating profusely and saw you curled up on the ground with your chest tightly clutched. The doctor said that if you come half an hour late, you don't want your life. ”
I looked at the faces of the crowd with a slightly uneasy expression, and a worst thought came to my heart. I tentatively asked, "What disease do I have?" ”
Zhang Siyuan and Wang Zhen glanced at each other, and several people stopped talking. I was even more nervous when I saw them like this, and forced a smile and said: "The worst result is that I can't find the lesion like Uncle Lu, my luck can't be so bad, right?" ”
As soon as I said this, even Wang Linshuo hid his face and turned his head. My heart seemed to sink into a bottomless pit, and even my voice trembled: "You speak, don't be so silent, okay?" ”
Zhang Siyuan sighed and said in a low voice: "Although you may not believe it, your luck is as bad as you said." ”
The buzzing in my ears made my heart cold as if a basin of cold water had been poured on my heart. I looked at my chest in disbelief, and at the expressions of several of them, and I could barely speak. Wang Linshuo said depressedly: "The doctor said that there is no problem with your heart at all, and he can't find out the reason why you fainted, so he had to prescribe normal saline to give you a transfusion first, and repeatedly told us to call him over once you wake up." ”
I was so cold that I couldn't believe it: "How come, didn't I find out that I had symptoms of myocarditis in another hospital a few days ago......"
